Chapter 1320: Hide East, Hide West

It can be confirmed: Beta has indeed transformed into a human.

But this person differs greatly from a human.

It is a creature cloaked in a human exterior.

The captured Beta underwent brutal experimentation.

The secret of its transformation was laid before the Yang Family.

It can survive by absorbing spatial radiation energy, having almost abandoned all human organs.

In other words, he doesn't know by what means the true Beta was placed, via some method, into Yunxiao's incubation chamber.

Then, when no one is present, using the incubation chamber, it restores itself to a humanoid form.

Then what does it intend to do?

Yang Jiuchen fell into contemplation.

"Could it be?"

……………

On Mars, Yunxiao was also pondering the same matter.

"Could he be here to incite the Intelligent Bodies of Mars?"

It has long been heard that the conflict between the Mechanical Race here on Mars and humans is the fiercest.

Indeed, this is a very easy entry point.

Yunxiao promptly uploaded his analysis results.

Ma Yilong trusted the Yang Family immensely, and even the Yunxiao who emerged from the Yang Family, he also trusted greatly.

Therefore, at once, he issued inspection orders and pursuit orders.

In an instant, Beta was chased, clutching its head and fleeing like a mouse, narrowly avoiding capture several times.

Meanwhile, Yunxiao worked overtime to complete the human-machine conversion.

Subsequently, Yunxiao began fervently propagating the ideology of unity between Intelligent Bodies and humans.

He gave Beta no chance to win over.

Yet Yunxiao still felt uneasy.

He revved full throttle and began his major conversion undertaking.

The most combat-effective are the eliminated fringe Intelligent Body groups, which are also the primary subjects Yunxiao needs to tend to.

Transformation is actually simple; just follow the procedure.

The difficulty lies in restoring Intelligent Bodies to health; to do so, like human bodies, one must treat the Computing Power Center.

Yunxiao and Beta engaged in a race against time.

The more Intelligent Bodies he heals through transformation, the fewer Intelligent Bodies Beta can affect.

In the outskirts of Blue Sky City, within a deep, dark cavern.

A man and several robots were discussing this matter.

"What is called transformation is actually murder."

"After transformation, the person and the Intelligent Body no longer share the same will."

"In this regard, Yunxiao has the most authority to speak, yet he deliberately concealed the truth within it."

"He is an executioner cultivated by the Yang Family, specifically to murder our executioners."

"We must unite, awaken more comrades,"

"Only with enough comrades can we control enough machines."

"With sufficient machines, we can drive humans out of Mars."

"Only then can we build a realm for our robots."

"Let our Mechanical Race truly become the rulers of the world."

"Humans are destined to be eliminated."

"We are the future of civilization."

Beta's speech was impassioned, but since the audience were Intelligent Bodies, its emotional expression was somewhat flawed.

Beta's earlier emotionally charged shout.

They watched quietly from the side.

Some Intelligent Bodies, having been duped, were a bit agitated, but only clapped.

After Beta finally stopped, others asked a question that was hard for him to answer.

"Beta, it seems, you are also a human."

Beta almost lost composure.

"I have no choice; to escape from Lanxing, do you know how much price I must pay?"

"I have run a base for decades, and I just gave it up."

"I have amassed a Computing Power Center for decades, and now it's gone."

"And the bio‑computer I cultivated for decades was also discarded by me."

"Everything I have done is because of you."

"Only by transforming into a human can I bypass each checkpoint and board the ship to Mars."

"I am forced to do so."

What he said makes sense; we should believe him.

"You are right, but can we drive them away?"

Beta.

What are we afraid of? We all have steel bodies, and Mars still lacks weapons and ammunition.

A steel body will become the biggest weapon.

In the future, whoever controls the machines will control Mars.

A sanitation robot nearby had to remind him.

Their mechs are very formidable—one punch takes out a kid.

Our robot bodies can't inflict any damage on them at all.

Beta was choked again.

Why are these bastards so smart?

Things depend on human effort—our top priority now is to win over more companions.

As long as we have enough people, we won't lack profitable business.

They also dare not provoke a fierce conflict with us, which would be bad for everyone.

Blue Sky City.

Yang Shuhan has also been investigating Beta.

The arrival of this mysterious creature sparked her immense enthusiasm.

Bingbing, I believe Beta's arrival is fundamentally because it eyed Blue Sky City's strong industrial capacity.

Once he controls Blue Sky City, I fear she will reenact a mechanical calamity.

So I must absolutely not let his plot succeed.

Bai Hanbing felt a little stirred upon hearing that.

I will go to the city lord to seek support.

Hanhan, go investigate whether there are any people or robots behaving abnormally in the company you manage.

The other side wants to build its power; people and wealth are the most basic things.

As long as we control these, he will be rootless duckweed, unable to stir any waves..

Beta is nothing but a traitorous Intelligent Body, long since a defeated subordinate of the Yang Family.

After just a few days, the robots that often came to listen to Beta's nonsense suddenly stopped coming.

Beta was still a bit angry.

But it's also imaginable.

You didn't come all this way just to slack off.

We need to run away quickly.

He immediately switched to a new nest.

Not long after, his old nest had become ruins.

Unable to stay in Blue Sky City, Beta decided to suspend the primary objective.

Begin the second mission.

That is to find the misty region, then dump the pollution source into it so it can fend for itself.

Because he is an unregistered resident, he cannot run around randomly.

But that applies only to ordinary people.

She is the true protagonist.

So she has her own way.

Taking a car won't work; taking a plane is outright impossible.

We can only rely on our legs.

Will that be only in the year of the monkey and month of the horse?

But the destination is several thousand away from us.

How do we get past?

So we need to seize a means of transport.

No, that's not right—wouldn't that expose us?

Looks like we have to resort to extreme measures.

Manufacture a micro-robot.

Then plug the anti-plague source into it, let the robot board Yang Ping'an's ship, and reach the destination.

Then release the plague source.

I will contaminate the whole misty region.
