Chapter 68: It can't be the pioneer army coming here, can it?
…
"This place is called Severnaya Zemlya, close to the Taipei Peninsula of Siberia. During the war, there was a military factory there with professional mechanical facilities that could produce the energy core of the Mecha Hunter."
In ppdc headquarters, Huaxia, Fuding, and Mo Yulan bases, in the laboratory, Asako Mori stretched out his hand to control the projection screen. A three-dimensional projection map appeared in front of everyone, with various data indexes interspersed in it.
"I basically have access to the ppdc digital data inventory. Logically speaking, according to the records in the database, this abandoned factory in the Severnaya Zemlya Islands had been evacuated and abandoned as early as 2030, that is, five years ago, and most of the facilities inside it were also abandoned.
It has been taken away, leaving only some scrap metal that cannot be moved."
Asako Mori turned around and looked at everyone, and raised his hand on the information screen again. The three-dimensional picture above turned into a black mecha hunter that appeared in Sydney. "But this mecha, according to the data I detected at close range in Sydney, the opponent is
The proportions and dimensions of the production core and mecha parts of the saber assembly all come from the model of this abandoned factory."
"You mean that someone used the remaining equipment of this abandoned factory and assembled one by themselves, but isn't this too incredible?"
A man with deep sunken eyes and a hunched body holding a crutch in his hand to support his body looked at the man who was obviously a doctor and asked, "The combat parameters of the Obsidian Fury (unregistered mecha, temporarily named) are completely unlike those of ordinary people."
The one that can be successfully assembled is even equipped with a driver who is at the same level as ppdc."
The driver's level was said to be about the same because he didn't want to hurt the secretary-general, Ms. Asako Mori. After all, one of the Revenge Wanderer drivers who was pushed to the ground and beaten was her brother, Jack Pancoast.
As for the mecha, as long as you compare the parameters, you will find that that mecha is not manufactured by some mecha enthusiast or some smuggling arms dealer.
Due to the monster disaster and the mecha craze, as well as the damage to various urban buildings during the war, parts and residual technologies of abandoned mechas have been leaked more or less all over the world.
Among the cities destroyed by the war, there are also many scrapped mecha organizations.
There are also a very large number of people who want to build a mecha of their own. After all, no one doesn't want to be a hero. Even if you don't want to be a hero, you will still want to have a steel box to protect yourself in this uncertain doomsday world.
However, the wild ones are wild. In the past historical records of ppdc, many unregistered mechas have been caught, but those due to lack of technical core, firepower equipment, mecha skeleton cost, assembly tilt, and lack of professional training for the pilots...
Due to non-compliance due to various professional reasons, those mechas were significantly smaller in size.
The mecha has seriously shrunk. It is said that some time ago ppdc caught a little girl who was assembling a mecha without permission.
The actual combat effectiveness of these incomplete mechas is inferior to that of the military. One Avenger can fight almost ten ordinary mechas made with non-professional specifications.
But the Obsidian Fury is obviously not such a defective product. From the performance point of view, it is a very high-level mecha from the technical core to the firepower equipment, driver training and other aspects.
That is the latest sixth-generation mecha hunter.
"Holman, I know your doubts. What I can tell you clearly is that the final evacuation and finishing work of this military factory was done by Shaw, but we don't have any substantive evidence because Shaw was buying the factory equipment.
After that, we had already evacuated somewhere.”
Asako Mori looked at him and said.
"Then what should we do now? What do you need me to do? I can't give you specific parameter evidence until the mecha is brought back." Holman said directly.
The relationship between ppdc and Shaw Brothers was too complicated, and he didn't want to get involved.
Things like dealing with politics are not suitable for him. He just wants to do his own research well.
"We just need to wait for them to transport the scrap iron back. After Asako Mori provided the information, we have dispatched the Phoenix Guerrilla, Saber Athena, and Valiant Defender, and three mechas to the Severnaya Islands. I
I hope the results will come out soon.”
In front of the two of them, Marshal Quan Dan Mo said. He stepped forward, stretched out his hand to reorganize the authority, and the stereoscopic projection changed to a picture in front of the two of them. In a field of ice and snow, three mechas of different colors and configurations slowly landed.

…
Shaw Enterprises Headquarters.
On the second floor, Dr. Newt was lying on the ground, his body constantly curled up, as if he was suffering from great pain. His body strength was getting stronger and weaker, and his voice was hoarse and accented.
At this moment, everyone knew that there was something wrong with Newt. A normal person would not look like he was about to turn into a zombie after being beaten.
"Kacha!"
Without showing any mercy, Lu Ming stepped on his arm, causing a comminuted fracture to the doctor, and pinned him firmly to the ground with his feet to prevent this "pioneer" from being
The doctor who had the upper body suddenly broke out and ran away.
"How? How about this evidence?"
Ignoring Newt's screams, Lu Ming looked at Shao Liwen who had stood up and looked at Newt seriously, and said with a smile: "If you are willing to search his bedroom, you might find some special things.
It can be said that this guy is connected to the monster's brain every day, and the link has been connected day and night for ten years, but in the end it did not stop the corruption of the Pioneer."
"Follow what he says and check!"
Waving to the security guards to immediately search Dr. Newt's house, Shao Liwen turned to look at Lu Ming. She didn't look panicked because of this sudden turn of events. Instead, she asked in a slightly curious tone: "How do you know this?
And it’s so clear?”
"Newt has been working at Shaw Enterprises for ten years and has always been conscientious. He can basically complete everything I ask him to do. I have also paid him a salary that is enough to squander his life. I can't imagine why he has to do his best.
To connect to the monster brain."
The tone was questioning, not shocking. While stating the facts, it also asked the truest confusion in Shao Liwen's heart.
As a scientific researcher, Newt has no reason not to know the risks of linking to the monster's brain, either being eaten by the monster, or being gradually assimilated by the monster.
If it was really for some scientific research, then he should go directly to Shaw Enterprises. After all, Shaw Enterprises has been committed to the research and development of monster-focused combat mecha hunters.
This CEO seems to never have any emotional fluctuations...
Silently complaining in his heart, Lu Ming looked at her and said: "From a psychological point of view, you are buying horse bones for thousands of dollars, but from a personal point of view, Newt wants to get your
Money, and I don’t want you businessmen and his scientific friends to despise him because he smells like copper.”
"So he began to seek spiritual comfort. As a man whose scientific research results and living materials met certain requirements, the ordinary spiritual level could no longer satisfy him, so what appeared in the depths of his soul was the "pioneer" he once merged with.
experience.”
Lu Ming squatted down, patted the shoulder of Dr. Newt, who seemed to be gradually waking up, and asked: "Doctor, do you think I am right?"
"Damn, what on earth do you want to do, who on earth are you?!" Without answering his question, Newt pressed his face to the floor, his chest rising and falling violently, and gasped.
The severe pain caused by the shattered fracture of his arm, stimulated by the body's senses, suddenly allowed Newt to regain his consciousness.
Only then did he realize what happened at the scene, but he was still confused.
"You know that's not what I'm asking. I'm not interested in psychology." Looking at Newt, who seemed to be fighting for control of his body, Shao Liwen waved her hand to the security guards to control him, leaving Lu Ming free space to move.
Then he said.
Where has a doctor worked, how long has he been working, what does he have at home, and how do you know he has problems before you even meet him? All these questions are what Shao Liwen wants to ask.
Why can Lu Ming know so clearly who he is?
"I don't think that's important. What's important is that I helped you. I helped you catch him before the ppdc found him as a traitor, so that you wouldn't be in a passive stage and wouldn't have your life's hard work ruined in one day."
After simply stating the facts, Lu Ming looked at her and reminded: "So I am more concerned about my mecha. Can you honor it?"
Although Qingcheng's upgrade is enough to directly check the world's information database, the complete mecha hunter technology can naturally be copied directly.
But Lu Ming still didn't want to trouble himself.
It is impossible to make it yourself, so you can only use the advantage of foresight to beat the plot and decoration, and let others do the work.
Lu Ming, who has experienced many worlds, has a very good mentality and is very clear about what he wants, that is, to clear the level quickly and live a free and unrestrained life.
Otherwise, if he really wanted something more exciting, he could actually choose to talk to Shao Liwen when time was tight, such as when Newt opened the wormhole.
But then, it may cause too many civilian casualties.
Even though he wanted to live a free and unrestrained life, Lu Ming was not willing to make fun of the lives of ordinary people just to show off.
"...I will do what I say, right away!"
After a slight silence, Shao Liwen stretched out her right hand, a beautiful smile bloomed on her delicate face, and said softly: "I have made you my friend!"
No matter who Lu Ming is, the fact is that Lu Ming helped her a lot today.
Otherwise, if ppdc really wants to find out, the UAV plan she just implemented may be temporarily suspended, and her life's work will be ruined in one day.
"I feel very happy to make friends with such a straightforward person like you." Lu Ming chuckled and prepared to shake hands with her.
At this time, there was a slight cough from the side, and the two turned to look. Li Shiqing was leaning on the sofa with her legs crossed, holding coffee in one hand and ppdc's publication in the other. She was looking at the page intently, reading carefully.
With.
As if aware of the two people's gazes, she raised her gaze slightly, showing a puzzled expression, "Why are you looking at me? Do you want to continue?"
Shao Liwen: "..."
That cough wasn't yours?
Lu Ming: "..."
If I continue, will I sleep on the floor at night?
"hehe,"
Glancing at the two of them with interest, Shao Liwen didn't mean to freeze at all. She smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Lu is busy with something. He can come to me anytime for mecha matters, so I'll excuse you for now."
After saying that, she turned around and left. Regarding Newt, she still needed to provide evidence to the ppdc as soon as possible, and inform the committee members on her side before they found the evidence first.
Talking about love has nothing to do with Mr. Shao.
She only has a career!
…
"Hey, didn't you guys have a great time chatting? Why don't you continue chatting?" Li Shiqing glanced at the back of the resolute figure who was leaving quickly, and Li Shiqing asked with a sneer at Lu Ming who was approaching.
“I’ve said all that needs to be said, what else is there to do?”
Leaning next to her, he reached for the coffee and took a sip. Lu Ming then smiled and asked, "Why, do you still want something to happen between me and others?"
"It's not me who wishes it, I think it's you who wishes it, right?"
"You are just telling lies with open eyes. You are just shaking hands. It is the social etiquette of our ancestors. Isn't that normal?"
"Huh, that's because I'm here, so you can only hold hands. But it doesn't matter if I'm not around~"
"I can't even shake your hand when you're here. It's just because you're next to me that I shake hands. I'm afraid I'll lose your face~"
After pushing and shouting, the young boy pulled his hair and quibbled under the young girl's eccentricity, and finally succeeded in holding her little hand by relying on the shameless method, and then left the building with a smile.
On the top floor, through the almost invisible protective glass, Shao Liwen took a moment to glance at the man and woman leaving in the car below, and shook her head slightly.
"Today's young people are really..."
…
…
At night, the stars are dotted and the stars are bright.
The city is also brightly lit. In a luxury hotel in Fuding, the accommodation arranged by Shao Liwen for the two of them can also be said to be an industry invested by his Shaw Enterprises.
There is no way, Shaw Brothers, which can mass-produce drone armor, is already at the top in terms of business status in China, if there are still some restrictions on its political status.
After all, if you don’t have money, what kind of research can you do?
…
Standing on the balcony, facing the refreshing evening breeze, the two of them felt extremely comfortable, and a sense of relaxation emerged spontaneously.
"Ming, can the problems of this world be solved so easily?" Leaning into Lu Ming's arms, Li Shiqing slightly raised her white neck and asked with a slight frown.
Li Shiqing felt a little unreal, because Lu Ming had just told her that the world's disasters were basically gone after Dr. Newt was caught, and the two of them would just have to enjoy themselves in this modern city in a different world.
The right to take a vacation.
Then wait for the card to be picked up by the two of you.
"According to the original story, Newt, the traitor, stabbed him in the back, modified the permissions of the drone armor, and then used the drone armor to open the wormhole. Obviously he was caught and the source of everything was gone. That theory
There is indeed no danger anymore."
With his head resting on her shoulder, Lu Ming said softly.
The cause is gone, so this disaster is naturally impossible to happen. We can't really correct it with the will of the world, and there will be another one, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Ming felt a little embarrassed. The previous worlds seemed to have different meanings from the original drama, so it would not be particularly difficult to understand if something unexpected happened in this world.
"What does it mean that there is no theoretical danger?"
Turning her head, Li Shiqing reached out and pinched the stinky man's chin.
"There is still a problem with the black mecha that appeared in Sydney. Asako Mori and the others should immediately send the mecha to catch it. As long as they find it, it will be basically over." Lu Ming explained.
"That should be no problem, right?"
"I just asked. Asako Mori said that Marshal Quan of ppdc has sent three of the latest mecha hunters. There will definitely be nothing wrong with this. The story I know is that the battle ended after only one mecha was sent.
Already."
"But why do I always feel that something unexpected happened?" Li Shiqing frowned slightly, tapping Lu Ming's head, "You forgot, the guy in the mecha seems to have launched an attack after seeing you."
"If you say so...it can't see me and go back madly to call the pioneer army over, right?"
Lu Ming shook his head.
This is too crazy. You must know that according to official background information, the Pioneers are colonists, an alien race on a planet.
Not to mention the colonies they control, how many monsters are there?
A planet? Or a galaxy?
Thinking about it makes people's scalp numb. I'm afraid even an army of Ultraman might not be able to defeat it~
"You reminded me, I think I need to do something!" After thinking for a while, Lu Ming thought of something and directly stretched out his hand to summon the newly upgraded Qingcheng and began to issue new instructions.
