Chapter 213 He Had No Heartbeat 142 (3 and 1)

Holding onto the hope of a long shot, Wen Bai followed 575’s suggestion.

In a short time, his subordinates found a nearby open space and had the Bububu robot take care of it.

The item System 001 exchanged with points was equivalent to giving the Bububu robot a loudspeaker.

The signal of the Bububu robot was amplified tens of thousands of times, directly covering the entire city with the Bububu robot’s communication with the rogue robots.

This was how all the rogue robots could hear the Bububu robot’s call.

575 was awakened by the Bububu robot and knew its capabilities.

The Bububu robot was extremely skilled at controlling a blank slate of newly awakened rogue robots.

For the highly intelligent among the rogue robots, the Bububu robot’s influence was not significant.

However, for the rogue robots that were still in a state of confusion, the Bububu robot was their king.

To catch the ringleader first.

This was Wen Bai’s plan.

Wen Bai and 575 were currently heading towards the vicinity of the robot research center, on their way to find Number 1.

With the cheat-like existence of System 001’s positioning.

For Wen Bai, finding Number 1 became extremely easy.

The positioning indicated that Number 1 was near the robot research center.

There were no longer any rogue robots in the robot research center. Only scattered humans, some still injured, were receiving emergency treatment for bloody wounds.

Wen Bai led 575 through the crowd, heading directly towards the back door of the robot research center.

Because many of System 001’s highly destructive weapons could not be redeemed and used in this world.

Therefore, before this, Wen Bai, under the navigation of System 001, had selected some suitable items from the weapon store upstairs.

However, they hadn’t even exited the back door of the robot research center yet. They had only reached the vicinity of the back door.

From afar, Wen Bai could faintly see a dark mass in the distance.

He even wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him.

Wen Bai expressionlessly raised his hand and gently rubbed his eyes.

Robots’ vision was akin to a telescope, far surpassing that of normal humans.

Seeing Wen Bai’s action, 575 took another look at the dark mass of rogue robots.

575 proactively reminded him, “It’s robots, Master.”

“How can there be so many rogue robots! Run, everyone get inside the building, quickly!” The security guard, looking through binoculars, shouted to his companions who were still bandaging wounds, panicking as they retreated into the building.

System 001 was shocked, “This… there are too many of them! Host, with this, the female lead won’t need to destroy the robots. These rogue robots can directly slaughter all the humans here today.”

After weighing the respective strengths, System 001 decisively proposed the optimal plan for the current mission: “This shouldn’t affect our mission, Host. Let’s find a place to hide and rest. This world should just collapse on its own.”

Such smooth progress surprised and delighted System 001!

It had actually encountered such a fortunate event!

Now that the female lead’s virus had been tampered with by it, there had been no progress on the female lead’s side.

There was absolutely no power to counter the rogue robots.

Humanity was doomed!

This world was going to collapse!

System 001 predicted that this time it would be a complete collapse.

System 001 had even prepared to help Wen Bai escape this world at any moment.

But the next second.

As suddenly as happiness had arrived, System 001 was now speechless.

Because, contrary to System 001’s expectations, Wen Bai directly rejected the perfect suggestion.

It couldn't understand what Wen Bai was thinking, it couldn't guess.

Just like in the last world.

The Host always deviated as they went along.

The Host always took risky shortcuts, yet abandoned them when they appeared.

Too willful.

As for Wen Bai.

Scenes flashed before his eyes.

Here, there were people who had helped him.

Wen Bai did not want to owe anyone.

Moreover, he had already made his plans.

Just as the dark mass opposite them grew closer, human screams erupted from behind Wen Bai.

Wen Bai stood under the porch and looked back.

Researchers were running into the building, heading upstairs, locking themselves in rooms.

The main entrance of the robot research center also appeared to have a large number of rogue robots, their numbers even far exceeding what Wen Bai had seen at the back door.

However, at the forefront of these rogue robots was a rogue robot wearing a pair of huge sunglasses and a sparkling white outfit.

Inside the massive building of the robot research center.

Besides the researchers who were gathered together, holding their weapons, ready to fight the rogue robots to the death, there were others standing in the corridors upstairs, peering down boldly with weapons in hand.

Some looked on in despair at this scene of being attacked from multiple sides by rogue robots.

With such a large number of rogue robots, they could only conclude that they were doomed.

Someone with sharp eyes spotted Wen Bai standing at the first-floor porch, along with the person next to him.

Wen Ziyue was currently parting the curtains and looking down through the window. His position happened to overlook the area where Wen Bai was standing.

He frowned deeply, without overthinking.

Perhaps it was a lifelong sense of responsibility towards Wen Bai, or perhaps it was his habit of protecting Wen Bai.

He glanced at Ren Liuliu, who was sitting in a chair, held down by his robot.

Wen Ziyue instructed his robot to keep a good watch on Ren Liuliu and was about to open the door to go out.

Wen Ziyue’s gaze, and his robot, naturally saw it.

As if knowing what Wen Ziyue was about to do, before he left the room, his robot ignored Ren Liuliu, who was sitting on the stool, and walked over to block Wen Ziyue.

Ren Liuliu ignored the interaction between the person and the robot, sitting on the chair lost in thought.

“Master, it’s dangerous.”

Wen Ziyue raised an eyebrow, looking at his robot.

This living robot actually dared to stop him.

Wen Ziyue said coldly, “Move aside.”

His robot paused, and in the next instant, it moved away from blocking the doorway.

Wen Ziyue opened the door and walked out directly. Before leaving, he left a sentence, “Protect her well.”

The robot paused. After Wen Ziyue left, it didn’t even glance at Ren Liuliu, who was sitting in the room.

It did not obey Wen Ziyue’s words. Instead, it quietly followed him.

It saw its master enter the elevator. After the elevator descended, it also followed.

Wen Ziyue anxiously waited in the elevator for it to reach the first floor.

However, when the elevator descended to the 6th floor, it suddenly stopped and refused to move.

Wen Ziyue’s heart skipped a beat. The elevator malfunctioning at this moment? No way!

Wen Ziyue was trapped in the elevator, unable to go up or down.

At this time, there was no security or surveillance. No matter how much Wen Ziyue shouted or pressed the alarm, no one responded.

The elevator was transparent. He turned around and looked. He then realized that he could still see where Wen Bai was standing from here.

He took out his phone and called Wen Bai.

Fortunately, there was a signal. He felt lucky.

Wen Ziyue could only watch from inside the transparent elevator as Wen Bai below took out his phone.

Then, in the next second, Wen Bai hung up his call.

Wen Ziyue: “…”

And looking upwards, to the 26th floor where Wen Ziyue was on the elevator.

Wen Ziyue’s robot was skillfully operating the elevator control panel.

The control panel currently displayed the word “PAUSE” in two characters.

It stood in place, head down, and glanced in the direction of Wen Ziyue’s elevator.

Then, it turned its head and looked at the two large masses of dark rogue robots below.

After that, the robot remained there, motionless.

Wen Ziyue’s robot did not notice that Ren Liuliu, who should have been in the room, had disappeared.

In fact, it didn’t care.

Li Bu had arrived at Lin Qi’s laboratory, where he was with his good brother Lin Qi.

Gou Zhe stood upstairs, looking down at Wen Bai, who was caught between the two groups of rogue robots, just clenching his fist and standing quietly in place.

With such a large number of rogue robots, he did not believe Wen Bai could survive.

He didn’t even believe that everyone staying in this robot research center would have a chance to survive.

His only relief was that his companions, Man Yixuan, Shi Tou, and Zhao Fugui, had already left the city.

The police support from the neighboring city had not yet arrived.

Gou Zhe made a very pessimistic judgment.

Given the situation here, they would likely not last until help arrived.

However, the subsequent development downstairs made him show an expression of astonishment.

The scene of Wen Bai being torn apart by rogue robots, which he had imagined, did not occur.

Downstairs.

The originally tense System 001 was still trying to persuade Wen Bai, “Host, you can only withstand one fatal attack. If not, we’ll retreat. Humans have a saying, ‘a mantis trying to stop a chariot,’ do you know that? There are too many of them, we can’t win. We need to act within our capabilities.”

Wen Bai nodded. He wasn’t stupid enough for that.

He felt that System 001 seemed to have misunderstood him.

He had no intention of killing all these rogue robots.

He had never thought he could fight a hundred on one. His target had always been only Number 1.

Before System 001 could finish speaking, it felt like the world would end today if the Host didn’t leave.

The number of rogue robots that appeared at the back door was already outrageous. It heard a noise and looked back abruptly.

Then, it discovered that so many had appeared at the front door behind them, and a rough count showed their numbers were even greater.

While System 001 felt certain that the world would collapse this time, it also secretly felt sorry for the pain the Host would endure later.

It was no longer capable of blocking the pain for the Host.

It should be known that these rogue robots were very violent. They wouldn't kill mercifully, and they didn't like to kill people directly.

The Host might be torn apart or have their heart gouged out. Either of these pains would be continuous and severe.

At this moment, the rogue robots from the front door accelerated their approach.

The Bububu rogue robot, wearing a pair of huge sunglasses, arrived beside Wen Bai with a beautiful vertical leap, ahead of the many rogue robots.

System 001’s mood instantly calmed down.

So, it was an ally.

The Bububu robot and 575 exchanged a brief glance.

The Bububu robot adjusted its large sunglasses and reiterated their agreement, “Remember what we agreed, I’ll also have eyes of your color.”

575 nodded seriously, displeased, “Mhm.”

Subsequently, the numerous rogue robots brought by the Bububu robot arrived on the battlefield.

Before coming, all the rogue robots brought by the Bububu robot had been simple to dress up. At this moment, they were all wearing a variety of clothes.

The rogue robots wore clothes regardless of the season. Some wore underwear and briefs, some wore short sleeves, some wore vests, and some even wore down jackets…

It was unknown where the Bububu robot had gotten so many clothes.

In short, all four seasons were assembled.

On the opposite side, they were all uniformly naked.

This way, it was easy to distinguish between friend and foe.

It was unknown what the Bububu robot had said to those rogue robots.

System 001 only felt strong electromagnetic wave tremors.

Then, in the next second.

Those rogue robots surged directly towards the rogue robots on the opposite side.

The Bububu robot also mixed into the rogue robots and charged towards the rogue robots on the opposite side.

The rogue robots directly engaged in close combat at the point of contact, looking extremely fierce.

-

Wen Bai walked along the wall.

He took 575 and bypassed the fighting rogue robots in front of them, moving towards the direction of Number 1 as indicated by System 001.

They didn’t go far. Amidst the naked bodies, the rogue robots in bright red and black stood out conspicuously.

Upon seeing the two humans in front of them, Unit 17 and Unit 7 did not hesitate and charged directly towards Wen Bai and 575.

System 001 had already prepared for combat assistance.

The moment the two rogue robots opposite them moved, Wen Bai’s body was instantly enhanced. He and 575 separated with perfect coordination, heading towards the two rogue robots respectively.

Unit 7, lurking among the rogue robots, was running forward very rapidly, constantly swapping positions with the rogue robots next to it to cover 575’s attack.

Unit 7, which was originally running along a specific trajectory, suddenly changed course halfway.

Just after it turned away, a rogue robot was smashed down forcefully in the position it had occupied.

Due to its excessively inferior material, the rogue robot broke its leg upon impact and created a shallow pit on the ground.

The surrounding rogue robots ignored this and continued to advance in a specific direction, even deliberately leaving space for 575 and Unit 7.

The next second, Unit 7 turned around, only to have its hair on the back of its head forcefully yanked.

With its hair grabbed, it was lifted and flung towards a nearby rogue robot.

The rogue robot that was hit did not pay attention to the standoff between 575 and Unit 7. It climbed up from the ground, deftly bypassed them, and continued to push towards the robot research center.

Unit 7, dressed in a black tight-fitting outfit, stood up, brushed its hair back from its forehead, and asked 575, “Robot?”

575 said nothing and flashed forward…

-

And Wen Bai, who had been enhanced, looked expressionlessly at Unit 17, who was beautiful and stunning in a red dress, and began to engage in close combat with cold indifference.

System 001 communicated with Wen Bai, “Closer, closer, Host…”

Wen Bai approached and threw a punch. The opponent blocked it. Wen Bai’s hand skin touched the part of the opponent not covered by clothing.

Unit 17 immediately jumped up and swept a leg at Wen Bai. Wen Bai did not dodge, but endured the blow.

System 001 received the data and began to analyze, “Host, the material of this rogue robot’s body is special. The gun you used before to deal with robots cannot pierce the head of this material with one shot, and its chip is not in its head, but in its chest. Using a gun is even more unrealistic. My suggestion is to use spray.”

Wen Bai followed System 001’s suggestion, reaching out and grabbing a spray can in mid-air.

On the opposite side, Unit 17, like Wen Bai, preferred close combat. When it approached Wen Bai again, Wen Bai sprayed it directly.

But the moment he pressed the button, the opponent, with its excellent flexibility, dodged it by arching its back.

Unit 17 looked playfully at the item in Wen Bai’s hand, not underestimating him.

The flexibility of this rogue robot was far beyond any rogue robot Wen Bai had ever encountered.

Wen Bai put away the spray, his fighting spirit ignited, and he began to seriously engage in close combat with Unit 17.

Unit 17 gradually became interested in fighting as well. It had never encountered a human like this before.

The human standing in front of it looked like a human, but their body strength was completely unlike that of a human.

However, the opponent seemed to lack any combat techniques, relying solely on brute force directed at its vital points.

This was its killing method, its favorite method, very stimulating…

In another exchange, Wen Bai clenched his hand, and “Everything Can Be Cut” appeared in his hand. He made a swift close-in swing.

Then, Unit 17 nimbly dodged. However, this time, while Unit 17 dodged, its beautiful dress hem was torn by Wen Bai.

Unit 17 looked down, and its anger flared.

Wen Bai pursed his lips.

Actually, Wen Bai just wanted to disable its legs.

System 001 reminded him, “Host, don’t waste any more time. 575 also needs you.”

Wen Bai took a moment to look. He then discovered that 575 had torn off the arm of a female rogue robot, and 575 had been kicked flying by a male rogue robot.

Wen Bai wasted no more time. He reached behind him, pulled out a device to restrain rogue robots, and threw it at Unit 17.

Unit 17 had anticipated this and narrowly dodged it.

This was the moment.

Wen Bai threw another item at Unit 17.

Unit 17 caught it with one hand and crushed it as if in mockery.

Then, its arm began to melt.

What Wen Bai threw was the spray.

In the 0.1-second moment of the opponent’s stunned reaction, Wen Bai threw it with all his might, using “Everything Can Be Cut” with ten-tenths of his strength.

Unit 17 reached out to block it, but “Everything Can Be Cut” pierced its arm and plunged deeply into its chest cavity.

Unit 17 clearly felt the sound of the most important thing inside its body shattering.

Its hair also scattered at this moment. Black hair, blown by the wind, covered its eyes. It fell down unwillingly.

System 001 immediately retrieved “Everything Can Be Cut,” and Wen Bai turned to the side of 575.

At this time, Unit 7 was on its last breath. Half of its head was smashed open, it was missing an arm, and it was clearly severely damaged.

Taking advantage of its weakened state to deliver the final blow, Wen Bai always deeply understood this principle.

While 575 was engaging in a back-and-forth with Unit 2, keeping Unit 2 occupied,

Wen Bai stealthily crept over and delivered the finishing blow, eliminating the half-crippled Unit 7.

Unit 7 wanted to speak, but before it could make a sound, it could no longer do so.

Unit 2 wanted to come over, but it was too late.

Seeing that Unit 7 was beyond saving, it flashed away and decisively disappeared into the crowd of rogue robots.

Wen Bai and 575 did not pursue further.

These rogue robots had never been their target.

Wen Bai, with 575, followed System 001’s instructions and arrived at the location of Number 1.

Not only Wen Bai, but even System 001 felt that this would be a fierce battle.

System 001 had even prepared to exchange for various healing items, determined to ensure the Host survived and collapsed this world this time.

As a result, when they reached their destination, they discovered that Number 1 was completely non-aggressive.

Number 1 was completely different from the rogue robots Wen Bai had first encountered.

When Number 1 saw Wen Bai again, it no longer displayed a pitiful, submissive expression.

It stood in place, with no other rogue robots by its side.

Wen Bai had already assumed an attacking posture.

But Number 1 just stood there.

Wen Bai easily, tentatively, struck Number 1 in the chest with his blade.

Seeing that Number 1 was still standing, Wen Bai then realized that Number 1’s chip was not in its chest cavity at all.

Suddenly, after Wen Bai’s blow, a voice rang out.

“Wait!”

System 001: “Why is Director Ren Liuliu here too?”

Actually, Director Ren Liuliu hadn’t followed. She had quietly come after Wen Ziyue’s robot left.

She had been hiding all the way, making her way towards the source of all the rogue robots’ appearance.

She had a premonition that this damned rogue robot must be hiding here!

Coincidentally, as she reached the entrance, she saw Wen Bai and followed him.

The heads of rogue robots stored all the visual records. However, to obtain these records, their chips could not be destroyed.

Otherwise, all the data would dissipate with the destruction of the chips.

-

Meanwhile, outside.

The rogue robots led by the Bububu robot.

Although they lacked high intelligence, they compensated with their sheer numbers.

They couldn’t win one-on-one, but they had a winning chance when it was two against one or three against one.

Soon, the rogue robots led by the Bububu robot gained the upper hand due to their numbers.

They easily suppressed the high-intelligence robots left behind by Number 1.

Bububu did not want to destroy these rogue robots. Its base camp could accommodate more rogue robots.

These rogue robots were escorted away, each by one or two other rogue robots.

The road quickly became empty, with only the corpses of humans and rogue robots.

And many people, from their homes or from shops, witnessed this unbelievable scene.

The perpetrators of this were rogue robots.

They had never imagined that the ones who would save them would also be rogue robots.
