An hour ago, Ji Cheying, who suddenly heard a voice in his apartment, stared at his terminal with a puzzled look. “Xiao Bai?”

When Xiao Bai saw that the other party still remembered it, it happily answered, “It’s me!”

Ji Cheying remembered this name, it was the housekeeping robot that Xie Quan had brought out of the fire. The robot that was chattering in the cab. Ji Cheying was impressed by it because it was too noisy at the time, but how could it make a sound from one’s own terminal?

Ji Cheying stared at the cute expression on the terminal for a second and, with a frown, then asked, “What’s wrong with you?” 

Xiao Bai was shocked. “Hm.”

Thinking about the interaction between Xie Quan and Xiao Bai, Ji Cheying guessed, “Are you Xie Quan’s terminal?”

Xiao Bai stammered, then pondered, “Is it? I’m an artificial intelligence designed by Mr. Quan, not just a terminal.”

“You hacked into my terminal.”

“Hm!”

Ji Cheying’s mouth twitched, and he didn’t want to investigate how Xie Quan’s AI had invaded his terminal right now, but he sounded a bit impatient. “Stop whining, where is Xie Quan? Where is he?”

Speaking of which, Xiao Bai seemed to remember why it was here, and it became anxious. “Mr. Quan was taken away! That person has blocked Mr. Quan’s terminal signal! I can’t reach him now!”

Ji Cheying’s heart sank when he heard that someone had really taken Xie Quan away by force. The person didn’t even want Xie Quan’s AI to know Xie Quan’s whereabouts.

“Let’s go save Mr. Quan!!!”

Ji Cheying was worried, where could Xie Quan possibly be taken to?

“Hey!!! Go save him! Go save him!”

Xie Quan was taken from the hospital, and if the other party was just one person, it shouldn’t be too convenient to take the person too far.

“Don’t be dumb! Ji Ming!!!”

Ji Cheying tried to concentrate on analyzing the possible whereabouts of Xie Quan, while Xiao Bai kept urging at the side, and finally, when his thoughts were interrupted once again, Ji Cheying’s patience was worn out. He gritted his teeth, his voice like a dark cloud. “I’m thinking about how to save him, can you be a little quieter?”

Hearing Ji Cheying’s words, Xiao Bai said with hatred, “What’s there to think about?! Take the gun and rush in! Go!”

“Then we have to find him first!”

“Don’t look! I know where Mr. Quan is!

“…” After a second of silence, Ji Cheying seized his brow, puzzled. “Didn’t you say you couldn’t reach Xie Quan either?”

A crossed-eyed expression appeared on the terminal screen, and Xiao Bai said, “Just because you can’t contact him doesn’t mean you don’t know where Mr. Quan is! Ji Ming is so stupid! So stupid!”

It said, “The moment Mr. Quan’s terminal signal was blocked, I immediately hacked into all the surveillance systems around the area, the hallway surveillance, traffic surveillance, the tachographs, anything that was connected to the net that could be seen, I was watching it! That man thought he could get rid of me by blocking Mr. Quan’s terminal signal? Hmph, the eyes of Xiao Bai are everywhere!”

Even though Tang Wenshao had interfered with the surveillance in the corridor where he had left with Xie Quan using a miniature beetle robot, the moment he walked out of the building and got into the car with Xie Quan, Xiao Bai found their trail and followed it all the way.

It was only because Xiao Bai couldn’t contact Xie Quan, and because the buildings where Xie Quan was now were cut off from the signal, that it decided to look for outside help.

Ji Cheying, the man who once took Xie Quan to the doctor and thoughtfully carried the broken-down household robot on and off, was the first choice.

Of course, the main reason was that when Xie Quan was in heat, Xie Quan used his terminal to connect to Ji Cheying’s terminal in order to get him to compromise. The connection at that time established the channel, and Xiao Bai could easily find that terminal belonging to Ji Ming and then connect again.

While Xiao Bai was still chattering about its great achievements, Ji Cheying acted as soon as it said it knew the whereabouts of Xie Quan.

He left the apartment quickly and got into the car, turning on his manual drive privileges. He asked succinctly and ably, “Location?”

As soon as the words left his mouth, the navigator automatically imported a list of addresses in the suburbs, an hour from the hospital.

Ji Cheying was about to head straight to his destination when Xiao Bai said again, “Wait! We have to go get our weapons first!”

“I don’t need it.” There was no time to find weapons.

Xiao Bai said, “There’s one on the way!”

“On the road?”

“Mr. Quan’s! It’s in the warehouse!” Xie Quan was a mecha engineer, and even if he was staying here temporarily, he used to rent a warehouse to store some of his big materials and works, and this time the warehouse Xie Quan rented happened to be on the way there.

“…”

The vehicle flew out like an arrow from the string. Listening to Xiao Bai’s words, he thought that Xie Quan’s real identity was Yan Bai, the master mechanic. Although this was an emergency, as a warrior, the love of weapons could not be stopped.

So, he asked, “Does your master mind?”

“Life is at stake! Don’t mind!”

The fingers gripping the steering wheel rubbed up slightly, Ji Cheying half narrowed his eyes. “Is there a mecha?”

“No!”

“Oh.” He was a little disappointed.

Back to the present, Ji Cheying was carrying the particle heavy machine gun from Xie Quan’s warehouse, with a strong body to suffer the strong recoil from each attack. Sparks flew under the shells, while Ji Cheying’s face remained unchanged in the rapid advance.

The heavy iron door was destroyed with the force of destruction, and Ji Cheying soon arrived at the laboratory where Xie Quan was before.

Seeing a person lying on the operating table, bang, the weapon weighing dozens of kilograms fell to the ground. Ji Cheying quickly ran to the operating table, but the one on it was not Xie Quan, but Xie Dongye.

He probed the nostrils, the person was dead.

However, the body was not yet cold, which meant it had not been long since he died. Looking at Xie Dongye’s eyes bulging out, he stared at the right side of the room in fear and resignation, where there was nothing but empty walls.

That’s where Xie Quan and the other person left, and there should be a secret door.

Ji Cheying generally did not like to beat around the bush with people, and the easiest and most direct way to play escape room was to push the wall. He liked the simple and direct approach. And not coincidentally, he also happened to have the power to crack a puzzle simply and directly.

He walked back to carry the particle machine gun, took a few steps back, and then without hesitation, he charged at the wall and attacked—

The corridor behind the wall revealed its true face under the rain of ammunition.

The dust rose up like a mist.

At this moment, Tang Wenshao also realized that the people outside were difficult to deal with. He led Xie Quan quickly through a corridor, and then into a wide area of the room.

No, it wasn’t a room.

Rather, it was a tarmac.

There were no other floors in the nearly hundreds of square feet of space, and the only layer of separation from the outside world was the ceiling.

And in the middle of the room, parked was a small aircraft.

When Xie Quan saw the aircraft, he was a bit surprised. “W-20 stealth aircraft, you seem to be well prepared.”

Although this was a small aircraft, because of the attack and stealth function, it was not open to civilian use, but could be bought on the black market. There was circulation in the market, but the price was not expensive, Tang Wenshao had one, then “they” must have more than this one.

“If you, Yan Bai, can look at it, it means it’s worth the money spent.”

Xie Quan was taken onto the aircraft. Although the effects of the drug had not yet passed, just in case, Tang Wenshao still handcuffed Xie Quan to the chair. Once the hatch was closed, the ground where the craft was parked rose with a bang.

The ceiling above the head also slowly slid open to the sides. Turning his back on Xie Quan, Tang Wenshao sat in front of the cockpit and operated it skillfully. Xie Quan watched Tang Wenshao’s movements, lowered his eyes, held the wire he had picked up on the ground earlier, and he took down the miniature beetle robot that was stuck to his terminal.

Of course, whether the robot was taken off or not actually had no effect, it was using the radio wave signal emitted from its own body to interfere with Xie Quan’s terminal, so even if it was taken off the terminal, it would not help.

However, this was only for normal people.

Xie Quan raised his eyes and hid his hand next to the seat. He took the piece of wire and wrapped his fingers around it, bending it into a U shape. His fingers touched the bottom bin opening of the miniature robot, and without even looking at it, he poked the U-shaped wire down the bin opening to the switch on the edge, twisting and turning it, and opened the bin opening.

At the same time, he deliberately spoke, to distract Tang Wenshao’s attention, “I didn’t know that you could actually operate the aircraft.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll have a lot of time together in the future, and you’ll get to know me a bit more by then.”

That micro robot was only the size of a green bean, while the structure inside was extremely fine and clever. For ordinary people, even with a magnifying instrument, to adjust the structure inside to modify, was also a difficult step. Not to mention to do so without even looking, but just by hand. It was also just a randomly picked up wire.

Even for Xie Quan, it was not an easy task. So, he closed his eyes and his ears carefully discerned the tiny sounds that belonged to the organ in his hand in the huge murmur. However, there was suddenly a deafening explosion from below. Xie Quan distractedly opened his eyes and looked out through the window, and then in the midst of the chaos, his eyes immediately locked on a familiar figure.

The smooth and graceful lines, the strong body full of power, the sharp light that could tear through the dust and fog like morning light…

—The K30 particle heavy machine gun was a fascinating existence no matter when you look at it.

Xie Quan’s gaze was torn.

Wait a minute, how come this was a bit similar to the one he had in his warehouse? Even the place where he modified it was the same. But if it was from the warehouse, how could it be in this place?

Tang Wenshao of course also noticed the movement below. Through the glass window, he looked at the killing man below. He gave a slight sneer and the speed of his operation accelerated. The aircraft engines roared, flying away from the lift platform, from that open skylight into the air.

Even if he got here, so what? He could still only watch them leave.

The author has something to say: 

Xie Quan: When I was kidnapped, you guys ran to steal things from my house. Very good.

Ji Cheying: I was so handsome carrying your weapon on the field, and you didn’t see me at all!
