"This way."
The twelve spider-like predators dispersed, and Xia Xu and Grant were able to move freely in the heavily guarded Gardner Mental Hospital.
The surrounding terrain, surveillance, and sentry posts were all clearly explored in advance by the spider-like predator that was stalking in the darkness, and nothing could escape the smart glasses.
Soon, the two sneaked into the ward where Cui Xinghua was originally.
As expected, Cui Xinghua was no longer there, and the interior was in a mess, as if it had been through a turmoil.
"Ato, remember Cui Xinghua's smell, maybe it will be useful."
Xia Xu rummaged through the ruins and found a piece of clothing that was probably worn by Cui Xinghua.
"If you talk to a dog like this, can it understand?"
Grant was curious about this.
Of course he knew about trained working dogs, but they were basically habit-building training of a motivational nature, which required specific instructions for command. It was like talking to a person, and the dog would not understand.
"It can't understand, but you can. And you happen to be half werewolf, which means you're one-quarter canine. Do you want to try it instead?"
Xia Xu rolled his eyes.
Atuo on the side glanced at him in a humane way, snorted, then leisurely walked to the clothes and sniffed them, nodded at Xia Xu, indicating that he had remembered it.
"It...it glared at me? And nodded?"
Grant was stunned, pointing at Atuo in astonishment, and was reluctant to put his arm down.
"I've already said that Atuo is not an ordinary dog."
Xia Xu shrugged slightly.
Although Atuo had been injected with wolf enhancement serum, the wolf enhancement serum only enhanced the wolf genes. Its genetic essence has not changed. It is still a "dog" and has nothing to do with werewolves.
Werewolves are the product of genetic fusion with human and wolf genes as the main body, and there are a lot of traces of artificial modulation in them.
For example, the genetic encryption that dissolves directly after death, the physical transformation between normal and werewolf states, and the specific appetite for humans, these are most likely artificially woven genetic blueprints.
After all, the origin of this thing is a war weapon developed by the country of Su, and it may be a special plan based on tactical purposes such as deploying it behind enemy lines to create chaos.
Dogs are the domesticated products of wolves, and their genes are highly similar to those of wolves. However, compared to werewolves, dogs are actually only related to the small portion of wolf genes in werewolves.
So before, Grant could vaguely sense some of the threat emanating from Atto in the Science and Technology Museum because of his intuition from hunting werewolves for many years, but when he felt it carefully, it was very vague and he even thought it was an illusion.
Besides, what Atuo is best at is attacking and hiding. Once it really restrains its aura, it is basically no different from an ordinary dog.
Although reality also has more metaphysical things like aura and momentum, they are more of a psychological gap and spiritual feeling. There is no universal skill that can tell the strength of the other party at a glance.
Because of this, Grant did not connect the Atuo in front of him with the Namo Lake he had seen in the Science and Technology Museum.
Seeing that Grant obviously still didn't take Atuo seriously, Xia Xu didn't explain any further with some evil humor.
Anyway, if we want to save Cui Xinghua, an armed conflict should be inevitable. We will know the outcome at that time. Maybe we can even see the wonderful expression on Grant's face.
"Wait a moment. My robot is exploring the structure of the underground base."
After asking Atuo to remember Cui Xinghua's smell, Xia Xu did not let him track him down immediately, but stayed in Cui Xinghua's ward and waited.
The spider-like predators are small in size and more convenient to move. Long before coming in, he had already sent some units to crawl into the ventilation ducts that Zhao Ming and others mentioned, and sneaked into the underground base along the ducts.
It will take some time to understand the structure and defense of the underground base. Cui Xinghua's ward has just been ransacked and is now empty. Normally, no one will come here again, so he can take a rest here.
"Where did you get these robots? They seem quite useful. Can you buy me a few to play with?"
Grant was really envious this time. He looked at the bow and slingshot hanging on his body, and suddenly he didn't like it anymore.
This is what it means to be back in America. It seems that my collection of precious thermal weapons is not as cool as these robots.
What's more, these robots are not only cool but also very practical. They are capable of combat, searching and exploring terrain. It has never been so easy for him to sneak into these heavily guarded bases in the past.
"I'm afraid you can't handle it. These robots are controlled by brain waves. Twelve of them means you can use twelve different robots at the same time."
Xia Xu spread his hands.
He is not hoarding it for himself, but Grant really cannot use it even if he gives it to him.
Although spider predators have a certain degree of AI intelligence, even the simplest integrated instructions always need to process the visual and auditory information they feedback.
Even he had a hard time controlling the twelve spider-like predators remotely, and that was with the help of the super brain potion and without any delicate operations.
If it were a normal person, even a few machines would be enough to deal with it. If they were to operate in formation, it would be putting the cart before the horse and the effects of brain wave technology and spider predator would not be fully utilized.
Even close-range control within the field of vision is not something that an ordinary person can adapt to.
If I really have to describe and make an analogy, this kind of control is like a strategy game like Warcraft and StarCraft. The operation within the field of vision is to issue commands one by one and control the units to perform micro-manipulation. Outside the field of vision, it means opening more than ten sub-bases or even more than ten computers to play the game simultaneously.
Needless to say, the difficulty of the latter is beyond words. Even the former is not something that ordinary people can handle. Even if they can barely do it, they will need a lot of training and adaptation. The reason he can control it so easily is entirely due to the brain overclocking effect brought about by the super brain potion.
But he would never reveal such a sensitive thing as the super brain potion to anyone except his own direct subordinates.
Even Grant couldn't do it. He had finally managed to remove himself from the super brain plot, and he didn't want to get into trouble again by accident.
"Do you really have to be so exaggerated? Divide your attention into twelve tasks?"
After hearing what Xia Xu said, Grant looked at him as if he were a monster, and then said faintly: "It seems that you really came to the right place today."
"roll."
Xia Xu didn't come to his senses at first. He went over it in his mind before he understood the meaning of the second half of Grant's words.
Where is this
Mental hospital.
This guy is implying that he is schizophrenic.
"To be honest, I'm really interested in these spider robots. I don't do any multitasking, so can you just give me one?"
Grant said with a grin.
"Okay, I'll charge you the cost price, 800,000."
Xia Xu raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, then stretched out his hand and made a gesture of counting money.
"What? How much?"
Grant jumped up and said, "800,000? Are you robbing me? I can buy a sports car with that much money."
"Believe it or not, this is high-tech, so of course it's more expensive. Eight hundred thousand is the cost price. Do you believe I can sell it for eight million?"
Xia Xu looked as if he was surprised by what he saw.
"So, you robots..."
Grant's face twitched slightly.
He had recently made two to three million in the United States and thought he was already a rich man. However, he never expected that the cost price of several robots produced by others was more expensive than his own net worth.
The cost price of one spider robot is 800,000, so wouldn’t ten be 8 million
This is not a combat robot at all. Is this just throwing money at people? If three or four robots are damaged in the battle, wouldn't it be equivalent to losing all his wealth
Did I just try to buy it to use as reconnaissance equipment
Buy shit! I can use this money to buy sports cars, some drones, and a batch of high-end thermal weapons. Isn't it much more economical than this
"I've already told you that I made 1 billion recently."
Xia Xu looked at Grant with a smile.
"Oh, God, your faithful believer finally sees you again. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Grant, who deeply realized that he was still a poor man, finally found his original intention at this moment and showed the surprise and enthusiasm of the first meeting.
