Wu Yi, Wen Kai, and Li Hang refused to engage with the robotic beauties. With their equipment still not fully prepared, they seized the opportunity to rest. While searching for a motel, Lin Yu shared an intriguing story with them.
It all started when he accidentally saw a picture that Han Ming had. The image featured a female robot, which had an exceptionally complex network of wires and circuits. Despite the lifelessness of its components, it exuded an alternative kind of sensuality.
Han Ming remarked, "Back in 2014, industry insiders predicted that robot prostitutes would become mainstream in the future. They could effectively prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and allow customers to indulge without feelings of guilt. In 2010, a certain country created a lifelike robot beauty that could display 65 different facial expressions like winking, smiling, and frowning. Its skin was made from soft silicone, with a remarkably realistic skin tone. It could even mimic human voices, engage in conversation, and sing—almost indistinguishable from a real woman."
"(⊙o⊙)…Stop right there," Wen Kai couldn't take it anymore. The thought of getting intimate with a lifeless robot that merely performed simple actions made him feel nauseous.
"Ha! Lin Yu, your story is probably making everyone uncomfortable," Li Hang teased.
"I know what you're thinking, but this dilemma will soon pass."
"Why?" Xiao Qiang and Li Hang asked in unison.
Wu Yi continued to examine the shoulder cannon he had acquired.
Wen Kai's earlier enthusiasm was completely deflated by Lin Yu's words, leaving him sulking.
Lin Yu paid no mind to Wen Kai's mood and casually warned Li Hang, "Watch your distance," before glancing at the gloomy Wen Kai. "The latest model of robotic beauties is about to be released. Experts are using DNA serum to replicate human organs to replace synthetic wiring, making these robots even more lifelike and marketable."
"What good is that? We need women who can naturally bear children," Wu Yi interjected abruptly while continuing to fiddle with his shoulder cannon.
"Childbirth has become a thing of the past. Humanity no longer needs traditional reproduction methods; they will use men to have children..."
"Stop! I really don't want to hear about this," Li Hang shook his head, fixated on the road ahead. A sign flashed by indicating that the motel was just fifty meters away.
"Of course, there's also the possibility of having children through robots," Lin Yu added with a chuckle.
Five-Star Motel
At that moment, a mission was arranged. Lin Yu needed to rest and recover his energy after exhausting his mental power. Wu Yi stayed behind while the others dispersed to prepare weapons and supplies for the eradication of the Mimetic Organism's lair.
These supplies could only be found in the military camp. It was uncertain whether Jin Ming had any tricks up his sleeve. Li Hang remarked, "Looking at the current situation, it seems there isn't much movement."
It was a kind of hopeful thinking. Xiao Qiang said, "Maybe he believes what I said now."
"Let's hope so. He is notoriously stubborn," Wen Kai nodded.
"No matter how stubborn he is, he has to consider the whole of humanity."
"That makes sense."
"However, I think no matter how long your neck is, it can't be longer than your head. We should still be cautious."
"Lin Yu has Jack helping her figure things out. We must face some substantial issues."
"Yes."
"We should just do what we need to do. I'm going to see if I can take the MctcH Mech Suit from N Team," Xiao Qiang said with a wry smile, unsure how those N Team Members would handle themselves.
"I need to go back to my squad and check in. I must participate in Tomorrow's Battle."
"I'm joining too. A new day is about to start. Let's go!" Wen Kai laughed and high-fived Xiao Qiang, giving a light pat on the driver Li Hang's shoulder.
Time to restart; no one had time for anything else, including Xiao Qiang, who occasionally got confused himself—not to mention others. When he arrived at the camp, two team members were already eagerly looking for him.
Under the pitch-black night sky, the military camp was illuminated by flickering lights. The first thing the two team members said upon meeting was, "Damn it, Wildfire, where have you been? You got us punished!"
Xiao Qiang was taken aback, feeling a bit puzzled. He thought to himself, "They've been looking for me for so long. Who punished you?"
"Who else could it be? Li Captain."
Xiao Qiang was somewhat confused. Hadn't Li Hang been with him the whole time? How could he have punished them? "When did this happen?"
"Early this morning. When he didn't see you, he ordered our entire team to do long runs and push-ups. We were all about to be tortured to death by him."
"I see. So Li Hang gave the order, and then..." Xiao Qiang felt overwhelmed and decided not to dwell on it. He didn't want to waste time listening to their complaints; he needed to gain their trust quickly and help find the essentials they currently needed.
"I'm sorry you had to suffer because of me," he said, feeling guilty. "But let me tell you a story."
"Go away! I don't want to hear your story right now. Hurry up and come back to the Campsite with me!"
As they spoke, two people flanked Xiao Qiang, trapping him in the middle. "I'm telling you, this story sounds ridiculous at first, but it makes sense later."
The team members were all grumbling angrily, their bodies sore from the punishment as they waited for Xiao Qiang, ready to vent their frustrations on him. As he and the other two team members entered the camp area, they glared at him with irritation.
"Wait! Wildfire told me something interesting," one of the team members leading Xiao Qiang into the camp said, looking both confused and incredulous. "He said Tomorrow's Battle is an enemy plot, and if we go, we'll die."
"That's nonsense," someone muttered under their breath.
But the speaking team member continued without pause, staring at a Black Alliance member. "Mickey, you’re serving in place of your brother. He said that when I was in school, I used to peek at girls while they were showering. And you—he once mocked you as a dead man inside the MctcH Mech Suit." He then pointed at another team member and added, "Wildfire said you have a habit of needing to pee urgently; you've had it since childhood. Once, you delayed a few minutes after class and ended up wetting your pants."
The members who were called out looked at each other in confusion. These were personal matters that only their closest family members knew about. Who exactly was Wildfire, and how did he know everything so clearly?
"You should talk about Tomorrow's Battle," Liu Yi said, the first to believe him, nodding encouragingly at Xiao Qiang.
"Regarding Tomorrow's Battle, be careful. I have a few partners who will directly attack the Mimic Monster's lair. Once we eliminate them, the enemies in the beach area will fall apart and retreat from this planet."
"If that's the case, that would be great."
"Barbarian, you need to be especially careful. Watch out for falling airplane debris and spinning propellers," Xiao Qiang reminded each of them one by one, and then they began preparing the necessary supplies with his help.
