Chapter 221: Miss, what are you doing?

Hmph! Now you're being honest, huh?

Let me see, just what kind of promising talent is this so-called genius?

Chi Hong's cockpit hatch was violently ripped open, yet inside was empty.

Inside the mecha's cockpit, the old man's face instantly darkened.

Good! Good! Good!!!

What a Yunxiao! What a daughter of Yun Sheng!

Go back and look! I want you all to go back and look! If you can't find them, you're dead!

On the other side, the middle-aged man fell silent for a moment, then uttered another heart-wrenching explanation.

Dad, I think this might be remote-controlled; we might not be able to find Yunxiao.

Damn it!!!

Find it for me anyway!!!

Several people, helpless, could only search along the original route, and they were destined to come back empty-handed.

Earlier, Yunxiao almost suffocated in the sand, so 118 suggested adding an oxygen device to her escape pod, enough to let her last a full day in the sand.

As for 118's side, it doesn't need to breathe at all; unless they dig up the entire Sand Sea, they'll never think of finding the two.

On the other side, Old Yuan had already received Yunxiao's distress signal, but he didn't know who exactly was inside that mecha.

But that doesn't matter; what's important now is to go support Yunxiao and them.

In the end, those who came to hunt you found nothing, losing not only a serial mecha but also a Seventh Realm Smart Machine Master, which left the other side extremely vexed.

And after you confirmed they had left, you exhausted tremendous strength to crawl out of the sand, yet the mecha's body was still too heavy.

Then, when you rushed to where Yunxiao was ejected, you discovered that she seemed to have already been rescued by Old Yuan, so you headed toward the place where Chi Hong was torn apart.

118 trudged forward with heavy steps and arrived at the place where Chi Hong was torn apart; from afar, it saw a row of engineering equipment continuously recycling Chi Hong's body.

Meanwhile, Yunxiao's tiny figure sat motionless beside the abandoned mecha, lonely and still.

118 also saw Old Yuan reach out and pat Yunxiao's shoulder.

?

A question appeared in 118's Logic Core.

It's just destroying a mecha's body; there's no need to be so upset, right?

118 still couldn't understand Yunxiao's train of thought, until it heard her muttering to herself.

Mom and Dad are gone... now... even my brother is gone...

I... what should I do?

What should I do...

Yunxiao didn't know how long she had been here, but judging by the situation, she had probably finished crying and was now in a state of doubting life.

118's Logic Core was speechless; this girl, at least she ought to figure out the situation!

Didn't you see that there's no one in the cockpit?

118 moved its steps and slowly walked over.

The first to see him was Old Yuan, who stared at 118 in surprise, then shook his head and revealed a relieved smile.

He didn't remind Yunxiao, but simply stepped ahead toward the other side, also nodding at 118.

These old humans....

Old humans sounds strange, but it actually means the same as old guy.

After all, 118 is a machine.

Meanwhile, Yunxiao was still immersed in grief, ignoring the footsteps behind her, not even noticing when 118 came up behind her.

118 reached out and patted Yunxiao's shoulder.

No reaction.

118 patted again, but there was still no reaction.

118 patted once more, and Yunxiao's hoarse voice finally came faintly.

Sorry... let's talk about anything later; I'm not in the mood right now.

118 scratched its head, saying, "Hey, at least turn around and look."

Query: Miss, what are you doing?

Yunxiao froze, incredulously turning her head to see 118's expressionless face, leaving her completely stunned.

She rubbed her eyes, and 118 was still standing there.

She rubbed her eyes again, and 118 was still standing there.

It wasn't an illusion.

Yunxiao instantly stood up, then lunged forward, tightly clutching 118's thigh, and began wailing loudly on the spot.

You're not dead! You're not dead!

Brother! How can I live without you!!

Waaah!!!

She almost lost 118 again; fate always likes to play this kind of lost-and-found joke on her.

Yunxiao had already decided just now that she would directly build a mechanical army of shit‑mountain code, then smash the Alliance to pieces and nuke them.

But.... 118 came back once more, seeming like an indestructible war god; before, there had been many chances to destroy 118, yet nothing could truly kill it.

Each time.... it could return to her side, every time, every time.

Seeing Yunxiao so clingy, 118 fell silent for a moment, then chose a comforting gesture befitting an elder: patting her head.

Feeling the sensation on her head, Yunxiao quietly closed her eyes, and the pain in her heart gradually eased.

This state lasted a long time.

Finally, it was 118 who spoke up first, breaking the original tranquility.

"Miss, do you know why your father earned the nickname 'Madman'?"

Yunxiao lifted her head and looked curiously at 118.

"Why?"

"Because I am unkillable."

"Miss, you surely don't believe that the situations I and your father faced in the past were each dozens of times more dangerous than what you have experienced."

"But no matter what, I am still alive today."

"So, miss, you need not worry too much about me."

After 118 finished speaking, Yunxiao suddenly became agitated, loudly refuting 118.

"Don't!"

"I don't believe it! I don't believe you can survive every time."

"One after another, there will always be a time when something happens to you! This is an absolute truth!"

"Brother, let's stick together, let's stay low together!"

"When I become stronger, strong enough to oppose the whole world, let's come out again, okay?"

As 118 looked at Yunxiao, the Logic Core inevitably raised a series of question marks.

"Miss, to be frank, haven't we always been staying low?"

"It's just that accidents keep coming our way."

"After this incident, Yunxiao suffered another major setback; she probably won't get overconfident again before becoming invincible."

"After the assassination matter was settled, Yunxiao repaired Chi Hong and gave him an extremely exaggerated upgrade and update, especially focusing on survivability, which Yunxiao heavily emphasized."

"Besides this incident, there is something even worse, but it doesn't affect Yunxiao much."

"The Insect Tide and the intelligent machines have risen again; the increasingly frequent uprisings seem to point to the same result, namely...."

"Something big is coming!"
