"Hey, Kari. What's wrong?"
Xiao Shang stood up and asked when he saw Kari's high alert state.
At the same time, everyone in the room took out their weapons, adjusted themselves to their best combat state and moved towards the door.
Kari stared at the stranger in front of him with cold sweat on his forehead.
This person was definitely not from the Sixth Division. Kari was very familiar with the internal personnel of the Sixth Division after so many years. Whether it was the combat personnel, technical personnel or logistics personnel, Kari had memorized every single one of their faces.
But he shouldn't be from the Third B Squadron either. If the Third B Squadron had such a person, Kari would definitely have an impression of him. He would never forget a person he met for the first time.
No breathing, no heartbeat, no sense of warmth. Other than its human appearance, there was nothing human about it at all. It was like a dead object...
Kari's eyebrows twitched.
Could this be a robot the captain got from Frenz?
That couldn't be right. Both squads were a little scared of robots because of the betrayal of the robots. They always thought that there was a hidden danger, so they didn't want robots at all.
Then what was this person in front of him?
While Cary was staring at the stranger in front of him with his entire body on high alert, Xiao Shang and the others had arrived behind Cary. They saw that the stranger had stopped in front of the door with a warm smile on his face. He didn't look hostile at all, and he didn't look human at all.
Moreover, Xiao Shang discovered that their communicators had lost contact with the outside world. There was no signal in the surroundings.
What on earth happened?!
"Who are you?" Kari asked in a deep voice.
The weapons in their hands were all ready. If the person in front of them made any strange movements, they would not hesitate to attack.
The person smiled warmly and raised his hand, "Hello."
Kari's face twitched a little. Is this a handshake? Who would be stupid enough to shake hands with a complete stranger in a situation like this?!
That was why Cary still stuck to the principle of not moving until the enemy moved. He ignored the outstretched hand of the man in front of him.
The person didn't look angry at Kari's indifference at all. He withdrew his hand with a warm smile on his face and looked very sincere.
"Hello, I'm Czedow."
His voice was neither fast nor slow, making one feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.
"I don't care what your name is …"
Czedow cut in before Kari could finish, "I know who you are. Kari, Xiao Shang, Ba Dao … "
Czedow looked at Kari and the others again and said their names.
Kari and the others thought to themselves, Damn, the information is quite complete.
While everyone was on guard against Czedow, Czedow nodded at them and took a step toward Kari. At the same time, a figure suddenly jumped out from behind Czedow.
"Wa la la …"
Just when they were highly nervous because of the attraction, a strange voice suddenly appeared. Kari's lightsaber and Xiao Shang and the others almost fired their guns.
"What the … fuck!!"
Kari felt that his heart had almost jumped out of his chest. He pointed a trembling finger at the cat head that popped out from behind Czedow and said, "Y-y-y-you …"
Kari couldn't say anything for a long time and panted heavily. Xiao Shang and the others were almost the same.
"Silin, they're scared, haha!" Huimao said smugly while standing on Czedow's shoulder.
It was only when they saw Silin walking over from behind Czedow that they truly relaxed.
Xiao Shang leaned against the door and looked like he was about to collapse. "Fuck, I was even wondering if they were Azrael's men!" As he spoke, Xiao Shang wiped the sweat off his forehead. His back was also drenched in cold sweat. What a scam. That was so scary.
"I thought of Azrael too," Ba Dao said while flexing his overly tense muscles.
He glanced at his communicator and found that it was back to normal. Xiao Shang shook his head and said, "Are you punishing us for not doing our jobs, Lieutenant Silin?"
Silin simply smiled at Xiao Shang's complaint before pointing at Czedow and saying, "Allow me to introduce you. This is the result of my research during this time. It's an AI robot, Czedow."
"It really is a robot!?"
Kari scuttled over to take a look before circling around Czedow twice. "Something's wrong with it. It gives me a different feeling than Frentz's robots. I can't put my finger on it, but it just feels different. "
"Hmph hmph, this is the result of Silin's and my research. Of course it's not something a guy like Frentz can compare to!" Huimao said while looking up from Czedow's shoulder.
Kari and the others curled their lips at Silin's words. "You" and Silin's research? Who would believe that? I'm afraid that Silin was the one doing the research while you were eating fish biscuits at the side, right?
Kari and the others were right. However, Huimao would definitely give them a good beating if they said it out loud.
Truth be told, Huimao's contribution to Czedow's creation couldn't go unnoticed. If Huimao hadn't found the ideal material, Czedow's creation would've been delayed. Therefore, when Silin created Czedow, Huimao categorized Czedow as one of his own. To be specific, he was a lackey.
Xiao Shang moved closer and squeezed Czedow's arm curiously.
"This feeling … is he really a robot?" Not only could he see the blood vessels, he could even feel the fluid flowing inside them. Tsk tsk, are these blood vessels?
Czedow didn't say anything. He extended a finger, and his fingernail suddenly grew long. Then, he cut a two centimeter deep wound on his other arm.
There was no blood. It looked like a normal human wound, but no blood flowed out. Then, under Kari and the others' astonished gazes, the wound swiftly healed and returned to its original state.
"What the … fuck!"
Kari didn't know what to say right now.
They had seen the rebellion between the robots at Frentz's place before. When rank four and rank five robots were torn apart by rank two robots, they definitely didn't reveal the color of flesh and blood that Czedow's was.
If Czedow could pass off the fake as the real thing, then Beaver and Frentz's robots were even more realistic.
"Don't treat Czedow like a robot at Frentz's place. He has developed his own intelligence. Moreover, he can adjust his body temperature and heartbeat to the same as a human's. "
Silin briefly introduced Czedow's characteristics. However, Kari and the others were a little worried about Czedow's existence. Everyone in the squad would raise their hands in approval if Czedow was placed at the front, but everyone had just experienced a large-scale rebellion at Frentz's place, and they were extremely sensitive to the word "robot". There were definitely a lot of people in the squad who didn't care about Czedow's existence.
It was just as Kari and the others thought. When Silin brought Czedow to Shotton and the lieutenant commanders, more than half of them voted against the idea.
Shotton didn't say anything until now. He simply stared at Czedow in silence.
Huimao was lying on top of Czedow's head. There were a couple of times when he almost couldn't stop himself from refuting Czedow. If Silin hadn't told him to stay silent, he would've rushed up and scratched Czedow a long time ago. You think our Czedow can't compare to your useless subordinates?!
If Huimao said what he thought, even Shotton would flip a table. Silin knew that Huimao wouldn't choose his words carefully when he was angry. That was why he told him to stay silent.
Shotton tapped the table with his finger, and the discussion in the room came to a halt.
Shotton looked at Silin and said, "Silin, how can you guarantee that he won't be like Frentz's robots? Don't tell me about the first generation robot. No one can guarantee that it's just a test by 'Azrael'. "
"I'm the only one who knows the final control code. If anyone else tries to hack it, it will cause the opposite effect. This is also the improvement I made after analyzing the first generation robot and the other generations of Frentz's robots, as well as the robots produced by the other manufacturers in the League of Stars. "
The others wanted to say something, but Shotton stopped them with a hand. "Are you sure something like Frentz won't happen again?"
"I'm sure." Silin looked Shotton straight in the eye without backing down.
"Good." Shotton looked around and said, "I agree with Czedow's existence, but due to everyone's different attitudes, Czedow can only move around within your squad's area for now."
"Sure." Silin didn't care about this. Even if he agreed to move around, he wouldn't allow Czedow to leave his squad's area.
After Silin and Czedow returned to the squad's area, Eudy and Beaver even stopped what they were doing and waited for them.
"Did you agree?" Eudy asked.
"Of course." Silin was pretty confident that Shotton would agree.
"Um, Lieutenant Silin. Let's talk. " Beaver moved closer with a chuckle and looked at Czedow. Then, he faced Silin and asked, "Can we spar for a bit?"
Of course Silin knew what Beaver meant.
Nodding, Silin said, "Sure. You and Eudy will work together. If you can break through the first line of defense and take control of any part of Czedow's body, you win."
Eudy and Beaver exchanged a glance with each other. "Okay!"
As for this competition, because it was only a competition within the team, no one else knew about it.
Inside the virtual combat room, Kari, Eudy and Czedow were each sitting in front of a microcomputer. They were identical, and Beaver had gotten them all.
Beaver and Eudy were sitting on one side, and Czedow on the other. There was a table between them, and a projector was placed at the center of the table.
All three microcomputers were connected to the projector, and it was a contest of who could control the projector first.
Not far away from the table, the rest of the squad had come to watch the battle.
The Miantuan was definitely on Eudy's side, but Huimao was on Czedow's side. Therefore, Xueqiu and Chifeng didn't say anything. They didn't choose to support either.
After Czedow sat down, Huimao jumped onto Czedow's lap and raised his chin. It was almost as if he was saying, "Here, scratch me."
Therefore, everyone saw Czedow scratch Huimao's chin with one hand and stroke Huimao's fur with the other. Huimao was so comfortable that he purred and narrowed his eyes. He didn't look at the battle at all. In fact, he didn't even need to look at Huimao to know the result.
"Are you ready?" Silin asked.
"Ready!"
Eudy and Beaver's fingers were ready to move at the command. Czedow, on the other hand, nodded as usual with a faint smile on his face.
Huimao once said that cats loved to smile, so he told Silin not to create facial paralysis when he was creating Czedow. On the other hand, Silin thought that everyone in the squad was too noisy, so he wanted them to settle down a bit. That was why Czedow was unusually calm all the time. In the eyes of those who didn't know what was going on, this kind of calmness was definitely an act.
Beep —
Both Eudy and Beaver's fingers moved quickly after the sound. Udoze's eyes were blurred because he couldn't keep up with their movements at all. He didn't think that they had this kind of ability! No wonder Cary said that these two were the most technologically advanced people in the entire Sixth B Squadron. Worship!
Then they looked at Czedow. Everyone was dumbfounded.
Eudy and Beaver didn't have the time or heart to pay attention to Czedow's performance at all. It was because they thought that their performance would be revealed in this online contest. Both sides' "movements" would be visible in this online contest.
If Kari and Beaver were to split their attention to watch Czedow right now, they would definitely give up right away.
Czedow was still the same as before. He was scratching Huimao's chin with one hand and stroking Huimao's hair with the other. However, even Kari couldn't catch the moving program on the screen of the microcomputer. All he could see were a series of characters and programs flashing by.
Likrabe tried to look into Czedow's eyes, but he couldn't see anything. He still looked the same as before.
Likrabe thought that he had seen all kinds of high-end robots when he was young, but compared to the one in front of him, they were nothing but background characters.
A mysterious and unfathomable robot could be guessed by a person's body movements or expression, but a robot couldn't.
How on earth did Silin create such a strange guy?
Eudy and Beaver were sweating profusely, and their fingers were moving faster than before. However, it was obvious from their expressions that the situation wasn't in their favor.
A glance was all it took for a layman to realize the difference between the two sides.
Compared to Eudy and Beaver, Czedow was simply too relaxed. He looked like he wasn't paying attention at all.
Then, a holographic image slowly appeared on the projector at the center of the table.
It was a very comical image. A lot of people had seen a cross made of two bones and a skull above a bone fork. The image they were seeing now was similar, but it wasn't a cross made of two bones. Instead, it was a cross made of two slender fish biscuits. Above the cross was not a skull, but a cat's head. It was Huimao's cat head.
Eudy and Beaver had stopped what they were doing and looked at each other. They nearly vomited blood when they saw it.
Is this guy going to stay like this forever?!
Eudy and Beaver turned to look at Kari and the others. Everyone stole sympathetic looks at them.
Eudy flexed his aching arms and fingers before smiling helplessly. "It's a species advantage!"
Beaver was feeling the same way. He wouldn't have competed if he knew this was going to happen.
At the same time, both Eudy and Beaver noticed something. Only one minute had passed since the beginning of the duel, and it was exactly one second shorter than the other. This meant that it wasn't a coincidence. Neither Eudy nor Beaver believed that it was a coincidence. This meant that Czedow had been holding back.
"I concede defeat."
In fact, both Eudy and Beaver had tried to hack into Czedow's core control program while they were fighting for control of the projector. But forget hacking, they couldn't even find a signal connection. They had no idea how Czedow ran the program at all.
Neither Eudy nor Beaver were sore losers. Moreover, they were happy that they had gained a new helper. With a guy like that, Eudy and Beaver would be working on that protective network they were working on would move even faster.
Hunters relied on their strength to communicate and win respect, even if Czedow was just a robot. Everyone in this squad, be it human or non-human, possessed a certain level of ability. Even the Miantuan was a little expert in certain aspects, let alone Xueqiu and the little rabbit.
Dias was very happy. Handing over his position to Silin was a wise choice.
"Big brother Silin, I have a question," Tang Qiuqiu said.
"Ask away."
"Why is he called Czedow? Did you give him that name, big brother Silin? "
"No, Wheeze did."
At first, Silin was going to call him "X" or "Shadow X", but Huimao said that Shadow X sounded too bad, so he decided to call him "Czedow" instead.
That was how Czedow was born.
The first time Sixth Division accepted Czedow was when he was mining on a Rank D habitable planet.
Maybe it was because the two squads ran out of luck at the beginning, but they didn't find anything for a long time after that. It made sense. After all, Sector U wasn't as dangerous as Sector Z, and there were still a lot of treasure hunters there. Every time someone came, they would come with the intention of "picking up a treasure". It was absolutely incredible luck that they were able to discover a precious mineral deposit on that planet so soon after the exploration began.
But after a period of silence, the detector finally reacted again.
Although the mineral deposit this time wasn't as valuable as the previous one, the selling price was still satisfactory.
Everyone was still wearing their protective suits, except for the two anomalies, Huimao and Czedow.
The situation was like this.
When Shotton was mining the mineral deposit, he discovered some energy blocks of good quality. However, the energy blocks happened to be located at a magnetic interference point, and coupled with the image of the geomagnetic ores, the mining machines stopped working by the time they reached the place.
Shotton was determined to obtain these energy ores. After all, it wasn't easy to discover energy ores of such quality. After discussing with the lieutenant commanders, Silin contacted Czedow directly.
And so, under the shocked gazes of Shotton, the lieutenant commanders, and the surrounding squad members, Czedow nimbly crawled into the mining hole, threw out the machines stuck inside, and dug out the energy ores with his bare hands. The energy blocks might not be big, but their combined weight was definitely comparable to a small spaceplane.
Czedow calmly stored the energy ores into a long bag and easily dragged it out of the hole. He didn't use any machines at all.
Everyone couldn't help but twitch when they saw this. Robots are so f * cking good!
Everyone in the squad was tolerant towards meritorious contributors. Moreover, Shotton was looking at Czedow like he was looking at an extremely valuable mineral deposit right now.
One had to know that Czedow wasn't affected by the word "machine" at all. In fact, he didn't even have any side effects from the magnetic field.
What a treasure, what a precious treasure!
After he was done moving the energy ores, Czedow patted his clothes and returned to his previous appearance. He didn't look as messy as the others who entered the mining hole.
In the following days, Czedow was accepted by more and more people in the Sixth Division, and he officially established himself in the Sixth Team.
