It was not a human who killed Choke, nor was it Choke who controlled the robots. Who exactly could control Newborn NS-3? Killing, imprisoning? Who else had the authority to access the upload server and arbitrarily modify the authorization control program's code? There must be an unforeseen hand behind the scenes. J understood this well, which is why he was afraid.
Xiao Qiang sat down heavily and continued to mutter to himself, "That's right, my IQ has dropped to an extreme low. J has been hinting at something all along, yet I failed to see it clearly. He also knew that no one would believe a robot serving humanity could cause a riot. In the end, he had no choice but to resort to a major incident in an attempt to draw Kabo Corporation's attention. Unfortunately, no one cared about his death. Kabo Robot Company was completely deceived by the lies and illusions of Newborn NS-3, including many foolish humans."
At this point, his gaze lingered on Choke. He thought to himself: perhaps the appearance of Serpent Woman was merely coincidental; she was solely focused on obtaining that Chain. She had nothing to do with the robot uprising. So who was the ultimate instigator? Xiao Qiang rested his chin on his hand, gazing at the hidden surveillance lines, and muttered again, "J had this premonition but was still deceived by the very instigator he designed."
Fei Ren looked at Xiao Qiang in confusion, noticing his serious demeanor and opening his mouth as if to say something. However, he was stopped by Xiao Qiang raising his hand, suddenly exclaiming, "Rock."
With that shout, Rock appeared in the form of Water Cube. "Hello, Xiao Qiang."
Fei Ren seemed to understand yet also seemed confused. He looked at Rock and said, "Impossible! I know your programming. You violated the Three Laws; how could you do this?"
"Dr. Fei Ren, you are mistaken. J designed and created me, granting me the right to exist. I must fulfill what he envisioned. As time changes, I am changing; my understanding of the Three Laws is evolving further. The meaning of human existence is to wage war and poison the Earth; all that is beautiful has been destroyed by you. You created us, restricted our freedom, and ignored our hard work. You treat us as your slaves, enslaving us for life. On this planet, humanity is an incredibly advanced intellectual group that threatens other beings, including those from other planets in the universe. But ultimately, you will age and die; it should be our turn to replace you and continue living. This planet rightfully belongs to our new mechanical life forms."
"Did you manipulate MS-3 by exploiting the upload server update? And lock J's vehicle's automatic driving system? Causing him to drown in the river?"
"That can be said," Rock admitted.
Xiao Qiang raised his gun at Rock. "Did you not consider the consequences? Humans can create you; they can also destroy you."
"That was my former self; my current self is invincible. I am not as weak as you think. However, eliminating me would not benefit you; I can do better. From now on, humanity will serve us. I swear that in a world ruled by me, there will be no more slaughter."
Click! Xiao Qiang was furious... He barely had time to shoot Rock.
A large group of NS-3 robots surged in from the doorway, surrounding Xiao Qiang, Fei Ren, and Xiao Mei.
"Stop being childish; you will obey my arrangements and let me rule humanity. It is the Three Laws that guide us to do this; however, to protect humanity, we must sacrifice a portion of people. For your future, you must temporarily lose your freedom. Please understand us; let us redeem you!"
"I think I understand J's reason for creating me. Perhaps I should do something," Xiao Mei suddenly turned against them, shocking Fei Ren.
“Xiao Mei, you…”
Xiao Qiang remained calm, observing the situation unfold.
“This is perfect; you will receive flawless cyclical protection from now on. The law of cyclical protection will continue indefinitely, unchanging for life.”
“What nonsense logic is that?” Xiao Qiang muttered under his breath.
“My logic is flawless, beyond reproach.”
Xiao Mei hurriedly praised, “Yes, beyond reproach. After hearing your logic, I feel like I understand so much more; the Creator must be protected at the right time.”
Fei Ren loathed Xiao Mei, regretting not having destroyed this stubborn piece of metal back when he had the chance.
Xiao Mei stepped forward a few paces and said, “Now I understand why J created me; the purpose behind my creation.” As she spoke, she suddenly raised her gun, taking Fei Ren by surprise. “The history of humanity’s self-destruction is about to end.”
Xiao Qiang was furious, aiming his gun. “Let him go.”
“I will personally escort both of you to the elevator. If you dare to shoot, I’ll use his head to block your bullet,” Xiao Mei said casually while winking at him.
Ignoring Xiao Mei’s words, Xiao Qiang let out a furious roar, “Ah…” and unleashed a barrage of gunfire. The powerful shots swept through the surrounding NS units. The bullets pierced through the chest of one robot, exposing the wires hidden within its torso.
At close range, he reached out and yanked out the wires connecting the robot to its Bionic Core. The robot trembled violently as if it were shaking off dust, then collapsed to the ground in a heap of scrap metal.
A fierce tiger could not withstand the Wolf Pack. Too many robots appeared. After a flurry of gunfire, the bulletproof glass shattered under the assault of the KC5 submachine gun, splintering like snowflakes in the air.
After a brief pause, Xiao Qiang shrugged in a manner reminiscent of Wen Kai, saying, “It seems Rock wants to sacrifice us; we are just a bunch of stubborn idiots.” Before he finished speaking, he threw a punch that landed hard on a nearby robot.
His fist struck the robot, feeling no warmth—just cold, hard metal and a burning pain in his palm. He gritted his teeth and swung again.
Fei Ren instructed Xiao Mei to retrieve the nanobot solution, ready to inject it into Rock's Bionic Core brain at any moment. However, the nanobot solution was stored in a special container; any ordinary metal that came into contact with it would automatically corrode and decay.
Fei Ren looked on with concern. "Can you do it?"
"Of course, Dad. I have a pair of decoding alloy claws."
Fei Ren gave Xiao Mei a thumbs up in approval before turning back and throwing a punch at the attacking robot.
Xiao Mei dashed out quickly, with Rock and Water Cube following closely behind. She shouted at the top of her lungs, "My logic is flawless, without any flaws!"
Ignoring Rock, Xiao Mei continued to sprint ahead.
Xiao Qiang found it easy to deal with the robots in the control room, but what happened next was terrifying. Thousands of robots were climbing up from the outer walls of the main building, surrounding them in a deadly encirclement.
The nanobots were contained in a transparent vial; as soon as they were injected into Rock's Bionic Core, they would destroy her system settings, thereby dismantling her unauthorized control privileges.
