After humming and buzzing to exhaustion, the young man actually fell asleep, wrapped in the quilt, while swaying.
575, carrying the human who had once abducted him with ease, walked along the road.
Passing a factory building, 575 paused cautiously, carrying the quilt and the person inside.
His ears twitched.
It was the sound of car engines and tires rolling on the ground.
About ten seconds later, a car with its lights on appeared, speeding from a distance.
575 looked around and chose to conceal himself behind a very large, relatively unobstructed rock.
The bus stopped in front of the open factory building.
Then, many people alighted from the vehicle one after another.
The tall robot 575 had excellent eyesight, even at night.
He saw the heads of those who disembarked from the car turn, and they were all robots with blue eyes, just like him.
Hiding in the darkness, 575 considered for a second if leaving now would be discovered.
The next second, he was discovered by the first robot to alight.
This was because, at that moment, the person in the quilt let out a faint snore.
This sound would naturally be inaudible to humans from such a distance.
But if the other party was a robot, then this sound would have nowhere to hide.
575: "..."
Bubu, the robot wearing sunglasses, looked over and saw half of a robot's face peeking out from behind the not-so-concealing rock.
It was the robot that Bubu had wanted to abduct before but failed!
Bubu's eyes lit up!
Did it know he had established a base and had come looking for him?
Bubu thought so.
Then, Bubu the robot immediately leaned forward, exerting force and dashing forward, its arms swinging backward with momentum as it sped forward.
As Bubu the robot dashed over with surprised delight, the crouching 575 decisively placed the person wrapped in the quilt onto the ground.
Then, he turned around indifferently.
He quickly left without any hesitation.
Therefore, when Bubu the robot reached the spot where 575 had been a minute ago, it only saw an unidentified object on the ground.
Bubu the robot couldn't catch up to 575 and instead kicked the lumpy object on the ground lightly with its foot.
Seeing no reaction from within.
Bubu the robot squatted down, took off its sunglasses with one hand, and used the index finger and thumb of the other hand to lift a corner of the quilt.
Then, it saw a human.
Bubu the robot slightly disdainfully covered the quilt back.
It stood up, ignored the young man on the ground, and turned to walk towards its new base.
At this moment, a man by the bus walked towards Bubu the robot and said in a low voice, "I've finished my business, can I leave now..."
Bubu the robot nodded casually.
The man immediately ran back to the bus, pulled open the door, quickly climbed in, and stepped on the accelerator. The man drove the bus away in a flash.
As if someone were chasing him from behind.
The young man on the ground was not so lucky; when he woke up naturally, he would find himself in a place full of out-of-control robots...
Just like when 575 had seen an unfamiliar human as soon as he opened his eyes.
-
3:00 PM sharp.
Wen Bai, holding an electronic invitation, arrived at the venue for the semi-annual event concerning out-of-control robots precisely within the time stipulated on the invitation.
Before coming, Wen Bai had specially prepared a pair of rimmed glasses for 575 to wear, so no one could tell it was his robot.
Wen Bai, riding discreetly on the white luxury motorcycle driven by 575, arrived at the address on the invitation.
After Wen Bai dismounted, he looked around.
There were only vast expanses of mountains and dense forests, and not even other participants.
Wasn't this supposed to be a popular event?
The place was very remote, and it looked nothing like a venue for holding an event; it was practically deep in the mountains.
System 001 spoke, "Host, if the situation is not right, we'll retreat. I'm ready to redeem weapons for you at any moment."
Wen Bai: "Mhm."
After putting down his helmet, Wen Bai led 575 to the only place where people were present.
There was only one man, dressed in a formal suit and black gloves, standing stiffly in an open space.
Wen Bai walked up to the man, tapped his phone a few times, brought up the invitation page, and presented it to the man.
The man took out a device from his pocket, and after verifying it with the machine, a man immediately emerged from the forest to greet Wen Bai.
"Esteemed guest, please follow me."
Wen Bai, with a poker face, followed the man into the depths of the forest with 575.
Shortly after Wen Bai entered the forest with the man, Gou Zhe, wearing a large mask and a baseball cap, appeared with Zhao Fugui, dressed in a tracksuit, at the entrance on the other side of the mountain.
From a bird's-eye view, one could see that the area was surrounded by mountains, forming an enclosure in the center, with a total of 8 entrances and exits in different directions of the venue.
The main hall was at the very center.
All invited guests were deliberately made to arrive at staggered times and from different directions.
-
"Esteemed guest, before entering the venue, please wear the mask we have specially prepared for you to protect your privacy."
It was a pure white half-face mask that only revealed the area below the eyes and nose.
This suited Wen Bai perfectly.
After putting on the mask, Wen Bai asked the guide to turn around, but even so, it wasn't secure enough.
Wen Bai had 575 turn his back to the guide, and he also put on a mask.
However, after 575 put on the mask, Wen Bai had System 001 redeem a pair of sunglasses.
These sunglasses were to cover 575's mask and hide his azure blue eyes.
So when the guide turned around again, his mood was complex.
The guide looked with a complicated expression at the person who insisted on wearing a mask with his back turned and then covering it with sunglasses.
However, guests who came here were more or less unusual to some extent.
Thinking so, the guide didn't pay much attention and led Wen Bai and 575 further forward.
Upon entering the venue, the guide began his explanation: "Guest, this is the arena area, where you can place bets."
