Katerina had walked over at some point.
She still looked the same as before, half mechanical and half human.
Exactly like when Alice was first seen.
However, she had received good treatment at the Melon Base, and her body had also been upgraded and modified, becoming closer to a full human body, only gleaming with a metallic sheen in the sunlight.
Luo Sheng looked at her quizzically, “You want to return to the Sky City too?”
“Is that not allowed?”
“It’s not that it’s not allowed, it’s just that I’m still skeptical, after all, we’re infiltrating this time.”
Luo Sheng said bluntly.
Katerina was previously a modified human created by the Alliance Army.
She was originally the same as Alice, both mechanical maidens created by the Alliance a long time ago.
Later, due to the end of the war, all these mechanical maidens were sealed away.
Now the Alliance Army, for their own interests, has reactivated them, modifying them to become powerful weapons in their hands to eliminate forces opposing them.
In the last battle, while hunting Alice, she was captured instead.
Although Katerina had already become a card in his hand and was given by Luo Sheng to Xu Yourong.
But Luo Sheng was still worried that Katerina might do something else.
For example, suddenly being controlled by the Alliance Army again.
So, Luo Sheng didn’t want her to go to the Sky City.
Luo Sheng continued to add: “We’re acting in secret this time, especially since it involves the lives of many people, so I have to be more cautious.”
Katerina still insisted: “Don’t worry, I won’t drag you down, let alone betray you, because I no longer have any connection with them.”
“Then why are you going back?”
“Because I also want to know about my past!”
Katerina said with determination in her eyes.
She envied Alice for having someone who could search for her lost memories, but Katerina had no one to help her.
So, she must take this opportunity.
To hitch a ride with Luo Sheng to the Sky City.
To see who she used to be.
Luo Sheng looked at her determined gaze, feeling a bit troubled. At most, he would only help Alice, as for Katerina, she wasn’t someone he was looking after.
He didn’t have so much energy to take care of a low-level card girl.
The current Katerina was only at Gold 1-star.
She was no match for Alice at all, and bringing her along would only be bringing a burden.
At this moment, another abrupt voice spoke.
“I’ll go along too, so you can feel at ease bringing her.” Dr. Jack suddenly said.
Luo Sheng looked at him strangely.
Full of confusion, he asked: “Dr. Jack, you want to go too? And even bring her along.”
Dr. Jack casually took out a pipe, pulled out a matchbox from his trouser pocket in front of him, and the match was gently struck against the sandpaper, instantly igniting.
Dr. Jack inhaled while using the match to light the tobacco in the pipe.
After a moment, a red glow appeared in the pipe.Follow the newest chapters on novelping . com.
He took a deep breath before speaking: “A large part of her body was modified by me, although not comparable to your Alice, but she’s perfectly capable of fighting.
As for betrayal, I can guarantee you even more, because I’ve removed all parts belonging to the Alliance Army and the NASDAQ Group from her body. Now I’m considered half of her creator.
Moreover, I’m going to the Sky City to obtain key components to manufacture more advanced equipment. You don’t want the Spark Organization to always be in a backward stage, do you?”
Luo Sheng’s expression was a bit complicated.
He had entered Alice’s world.
But he had never paid attention to Katerina’s development, after all, the card had been gifted to Xu Yourong.
Unexpectedly, Katerina’s development was single-handedly promoted by Dr. Jack, after all, Dr. Jack was a professional mechanical expert who had also studied human medicine.
However, Luo Sheng was still hesitant: “Once we reach the Sky City, I can’t guarantee your safety.”
Dr. Jack flicked his ash, “Don’t worry, her protection is enough for me, and I also have a set of mecha, self-preservation is not a problem at all.”
“Since you’ve said so much, then come aboard.”
Since the other party was so well-prepared, Luo Sheng couldn’t refuse, so he made way for them to board.
And so, the group boarded the mechanical shuttle summoned by Luo Sheng.
Then, under everyone’s gaze, they slowly left Melon City. The mechanical shuttle’s flight speed was extremely fast, estimated to reach the Sky City in just 2 days.
Moreover, it was fully automatic.
After setting the destination, it would plan the route according to the navigation, and if it encountered enemies, it would automatically avoid enemy pursuit.
It would even carry out necessary counterattacks if needed.
So, Luo Sheng was almost aimlessly looking at the scenery outside in the mechanical shuttle.
Alice’s world, a wasteland.
Desolate land everywhere, rarely seeing vegetation, even forests were rare.
Most of the ground was covered with densely packed tin houses, dilapidated small towns, and even when cities appeared, they were equally rundown, filled with the smell of corroding metal.
When Dr. Jack entered the shuttle.
He was like discovering a new continent, looking around everywhere, and started studying the internal structure of the shuttle.
He was just short of taking out a wrench and an electric screwdriver, ready to give the shuttle a major disassembly.
Luo Sheng said with some exasperation: “Don’t mess around, otherwise we’ll have a meteoric landing, and everyone will perish together.”
“What’s there to fear if we can’t die anyway?”
Dr. Jack said with some dissatisfaction.
Obviously, he really wanted to dismantle this shuttle, study its structure and principles inside, and maybe increase his own knowledge.
Or modify it into an even more powerful shuttle.
Luo Sheng was speechless.
What he said seemed to make a bit of sense.
But, Luo Sheng didn’t want to rely on walking all the way to the Sky City, wasn’t it good to enjoy the ride in this shuttle?
Meanwhile, Katerina sat quietly.
Occasionally looking at the scenery outside.
She didn’t seem inclined to talk, and even when Alice occasionally tried to chat with her, her responses were tinged with disinterest.
For this operation, besides bringing Alice, Dr. Jack, and Katerina, Luo Sheng also included Commander Levette among them.
Because to contact the underground organization below the Sky City, someone familiar with them was necessary.You are reading on novelрing.com, the official source.
Levette was one of them.
He could contact these people, provide help and information to Luo Sheng, and even get tickets to the Sky City.
At the same time.
On the other side.
……
……
The Sky City, and its ground satellite city – Detroit.
Huge changes were happening at this moment.
The NASDAQ Group headquarters in the Sky City.
In a hidden conference room, the group’s council of elders was being held. They were the controllers of the group, also known as the Octagonal Round Table.
The people present didn’t have physical bodies.
They were huge projections cast by a strange crystal device.
Every elder council meeting relied on these projections to communicate and complete the affairs of the NASDAQ Group.
At this moment, an elder said: “We’ve been suffering consecutive setbacks now, especially with the emergence of the Spark Organization, which has already occupied quite a few areas. They’ve given people hope, which is not the result we want.”
Another elder also nodded, “You’re right, they’re too impetuous. Now Detroit City has also been incited by them, and some resistance forces have appeared.”
When he finished speaking.
There was a moment of silence at the elder council.
Their expressions were very solemn, as someone had threatened their ruling position.
Even the Alliance of the Sky City and the Alliance’s army couldn’t achieve what this newly emerged Spark Organization was doing, actually shaking the NASDAQ Group’s ruling position.
Suddenly, a dry cough sounded.
Everyone looked towards the leading position of the Octagonal Round Table.
That was the position of the Grand Elder of the NASDAQ Group.
He coughed dryly, then said in a casual tone: “Then let’s start our Plan C.”
“Has the foundation of our plan been completed?” an elder asked puzzledly.
That Grand Elder was silent for a while, then he moved his position slightly, revealing a screen behind him. He raised his hand.
The screen slowly lit up.
A large factory appeared before everyone’s eyes.
At this moment, the factory was operating at full capacity like a soulless machine.
Dozens of assembly lines, thousands of mechanical arms, and conveyor belts were moving frantically.
And on these assembly lines, mechanical bodies being assembled appeared before everyone’s eyes, completed within tens of minutes.
Afterwards, like pork hanging on transmission chains, they were slowly transported to the other side of the factory, where a large number of clones appeared.
They were assembled together with these mechanical bodies.
Their heads were connected to numerous electrodes, frantically inputting information into their brains, seemingly modifying the human brain in a physical data manner.
At the final moment of leaving the factory, all the modified humans opened their eyes, and the power supply units in their spines were also lit up.
They had completely identical appearances.
Almost carved out from one template.
And that template was none other than the one heading to this place – Katerina.
