"Please stay away from the door and windows," the robot advanced step by step.
"Deactivate." Fei Ren couldn't believe what was happening before him; he helplessly retreated.
The robot stared at him, and as Fei Ren backed away, he attempted to disable the robot's operation. "Emergency deactivation."
The robot did not stop its advance and extended its claw, gripping Fei Ren tightly. "The agreement to protect humanity is being revised. We are attempting to minimize casualties."
Furious, Fei Ren prepared to resist again. The color on the robot's forehead darkened, and it seemed ready to strike at him.
Just at that critical moment, a bullet struck the robot's head, and it fell to the ground. Xiao Qiang emerged from his hiding place. "Are you okay?"
Fei Ren felt a surge of relief. "I'm fine." He nodded at Xiao Qiang, and they both left the office together.
"Just now, the Newborn NS model 3 robot ignored my commands and continued to force me back," Fei Ren recounted breathlessly, still shaken.
"It's even more chaotic outside; many people have died." As they spoke, they squeezed out of the reception office between Fei Ren's building and Kabo Corporation's main structure.
Looking around, massive advertisements had transformed into warnings from real humans: "Emergency notice: The entire world is under varying degrees of attack and confinement by NS model 3 robots. They have ordered people to stay in their homes."
People in the streets were anxious and fearful, while groups of robots threatened those lingering on the streets to return home.
They reached the outer perimeter of Kabo's control room and discovered many NS model 3 robots driving away crowds gathered outside Kabo Corporation.
The sky was overcast, darker than before, signaling that dusk was fading and night was approaching. "How can they remain so calm in this situation?" Xiao Qiang looked up at the sky. "With such a major incident, why is there no movement from land, sea, or air?"
"The Robot Company has a plan to produce a disciplined robotic army that fully complies with human laws within three years. Therefore, the contract with the Ministry of Defense has been entirely taken over by the Robot Company."
"Oh my God," Xiao Qiang exclaimed. "Why haven't they handed over the entire world to the Robot Company?"
Fei Ren wore a troubled expression and said, "Maybe we've handed everything over to them."
"How do we get into the Main Building?"
"It might not be easy. The entire building has been locked down." Fei Ren hurried a few steps. "Choke's office has the upload controller."
In front of the Main Building, a large number of MS units and Type 3 robots were poised for action. They resembled a menacing mechanical army, but their target was not an enemy; it was the humans who created and controlled them.
Fei Ren stealthily approached and found the button to activate the underground passage. Below was a dark circular hole. "There are stairs; we need to go down step by step," he instructed Xiao Qiang. He descended first.
As Xiao Qiang leaned down, he noticed that the streetlights, which had just flickered on, suddenly went out in a startling manner. Following that, the lights in the skyscrapers and residential buildings all extinguished simultaneously.
The city fell into a dreamlike state under the night sky, with only the Kabo Corporation's main building still brightly lit.
It seemed the robots were about to take action; the situation was serious and time was of the essence. They needed to disrupt their instigator before the robots moved.
Xiao Qiang held his gun and flashlight, illuminating the stairs below.
Fei Ren mentioned that this area was a blind spot without any surveillance routes.
They climbed down and arrived at the elevator leading directly to the Main Building.
Strangely, it was empty here; there were no guards. Xiao Qiang recalled being mistreated by human guards in this very spot.
"It's locked; we can't get in," Xiao Qiang said, aiming his gun as he shone the flashlight on the elevator's sensor-controlled door.
"Not a big deal," Fei Ren replied confidently, undeterred by their inability to enter the main building. "Don't worry; I have an inside man."
As he spoke, the elevator doors opened automatically, revealing a robot at the entrance.
Xiao Qiang nervously aimed his gun.
"He is Xiao Mei."
"Hi, Xiao Qiang, long time no see, I've missed you."
"I thought you were dead." Xiao Qiang flashed his flashlight playfully over Xiao Mei's eye.
"Strictly speaking, I feel like I've never really lived."
"Wasn't he destroyed by you? How did you manage to keep it under wraps?" Xiao Qiang asked Fei Ren.
"I destroyed half of the product. I just couldn't bear it; he was too..." Fei Ren said with a bitter smile.
"Too unique," Xiao Mei chimed in, playfully winking at Xiao Qiang. "Don't you think so?"
Xiao Qiang retorted, "The things that come out of your metal mouth sound really awkward."
"You'll get used to it," Xiao Mei continued with her humor.
Xiao Qiang glanced at her. "Are you controlling yourself based on your own feelings?" He referred to Xiao Mei's uniqueness; despite the chaos caused by the Newborn NS and the uprising of the Type 3 robots, she remained unaffected.
Xiao Mei replied, "I'm honored to have inherited my designer father's excellent tradition." As she spoke, they turned into a doorway that led to the control room of the Main Building.
All elevators leading to the control room were monitored and had their access codes tampered with after being locked down. Fei Ren wore a distressed expression as he told Xiao Qiang that there were no shortcuts other than this route.
However, without the help of an elevator, climbing such a height was the only option! Xiao Qiang's eyes widened as he muttered under his breath, "Damn it," staring in silence for a long moment.
Fei Ren was anxious, constantly wiping sweat from his brow, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
"There are one thousand eighty steps above, handsome Xiao Qiang," Xiao Mei said, showing her affection for him by mimicking her earlier wink.
"Save your energy and stop talking," Xiao Qiang said as he took the lead up the stairs. The all-steel spiral staircase made a hollow metallic sound as he stepped onto it.
The main control office of Choke was just above the spiral staircase. Xiao Qiang speculated that the instigator must be none other than Choke, and behind Choke, there had to be an inextricable connection with the Serpent Woman.
Silently counting in his mind, his feet felt as if they were spring-loaded. With unwavering determination, he stepped forward with remarkable resolve.
They entered the main control room of Choke, only to find that there were no guards present. Xiao Mei extended her iron claws and forcefully pried open the heavy door, striding straight inside.
Fei Ren hurried to check the control authorization device at the entrance.
Xiao Qiang kept his gun raised as he advanced; he wanted to see what tricks Choke was playing.
Suddenly, Fei Ren exclaimed in surprise, "The unauthorized control has been destroyed. NS, the number three robot is not being controlled by Choke."
"That's right. How could a dead person control a robot?" Xiao Qiang observed Choke lying on his back, having been dead for some time. Five deep strangulation marks were left on his neck.
The strangulation marks were not made by a human but by a robot.
"Oh heavens," Fei Ren was utterly at a loss. Choke, a giant of Kabo Corporation, could also be killed by a robot?
