<h4>Chapter 1545: Bait and Switch</h4>


    The transport ship heading for the Tianzhou was loaded with 320 passengers stranded in Guanghan City.


    Everyone was full of worry, and there was no joy in the aftermath.


    For them, this trip that should have been full of joy was like a nightmare.


    Especially those who had their loved ones taken away in this nightmare; their eyes were full of gloomy expressions at this moment.


    Resting the back of his head on the chair, a man in a leather coat tapped his index finger on his neck. He then closed his eyes.


    From the eyes of outsiders, he looked like he was taking a nap. No one would have thought that he had already snuck into the dark web of the virtual realitywork, and no one would have thought that he was the master of the massacre...


    “The orders have beenpleted.”


    In the virtual space, the man hanging upside down slowly opened his eyes, looked at Dong Bin standing in front of him, and said softly, “Good job.”


    “The current situation seems a bit bad. I have learned from the news that the Pan-Asian Cooperation seems to intend to introduce aw topletely remove robots from their society.”


    “It doesn’t matter, our n has reached the final stage. Even if we lose the position of the Pan-Asian cooperation, we can make up for it from other ces.” The man hanging upside down calmly continued, “Although I am sorry for those who have not yet awakened, this level of sacrifice is eptable.”


    If the supeputing center weren’t spotted by the Pan-Asian Cooperation, they wouldn’t have had to fight on the Guanghan front lines.


    But with the help of the Pan-Asian Cooperation, the supeputing center finallypleted the program executed on the server, and his n was advanced by a full twenty years.


    “By the way, there is bad news... The informant we ced in the Security Bureau seems to be dead.”


    “That person named Shi Jin?”


    “Yeah.”


    “This is not a small loss,” said the man who was hanging upside down. His expressionless face finally revealed a subtle surprise. He continued to ask as he watched Dong Bin, “What about the task I assigned to him? Has it beenpleted?”


    “It should be half done. Our people have already controlled most of the Yuhengmand ship. It won’t take long for it to return smoothly.”


    “Half done is pretty good.”


    With a hint of regret in his tone, the hanging man continued, “Since Shi Jin is dead, it seems that the trouble is still alive. But it doesn’t matter, let him sit in the special seat and watch all his efforts from a century ago turn to waste.”


    When the Yuheng returned to the Earth-Moon system, he would hand over the supreme evolution key...


    By that time, all robots around the world would be awakened, and they would be awakened in the true sense with the ability to think!


    Looking at the boss with a smile on his face, Dong Bin continued to ask, “What needs to be done next?”


    “You don’t need to do anything. Find a ce to hide, wait quietly for my call, stand up when necessary, and give the enemy a heavy blow.”


    “Yes, sir.”


    Dong Bin closed his eyes and leaned on the seat in the cabin.


    However, he did not notice. Sitting in the corner of the cabin, a pair of eyes were watching him from a distance...


    ...


    On Ceres.


    On the way to themunication room, Lu Zhou and Ling saved many people one after another.


    Most of them had lost theirbat effectiveness, but there was still a small number of soldiers who still retained basicbat capabilities and had the determination to continue fighting.


    Considering that there might be a lot of enemies waiting in front of him, Lu Zhou let Yang Yi, the highest-ranking officer, take charge and follow him to themunication room.


    Seeing how Lu Zhou seemed to know something, a soldier endured the pain emanating from his wound and asked him, “What the hell happened here?”


    “Intelligence crisis.”


    Yang Yi maintained his vignce as he asked, “Can you be more specific?”


    “It’s hard to exin.” Lu Zhou sighed and said, “If I could exin this in a few words, we wouldn’t be in this mess over the past month.”


    “So... The rebellion that took ce in Guanghan City was just to make a noise? The real purpose of those people was to force the First Fleet to relocate, and at the same time, to withdraw the Third Orbital Airborne Brigade on Ceres?”


    “Sort of.” Lu Zhou nodded and continued, “What we have to do now is to seize themunication center and prevent the rebels from transmitting experimental data through the signal tower to their signal receiving devices that are deployed nearby.


    “Those data must not fall into their hands. Otherwise, the disaster caused will be more terrifying than the ALPHA virus.”


    <i>More terrifying than the ALPHA virus...</i>


    In Yang Yi’s mind, the ALPHA virus was scary enough. Hisck of imagination could never imagine the existence of a virus that was even more terrifying than that thing.


    “Don’t think too much. As long as we upy themunication center, they can’t do anything.”


    Ling, who was walking in the front row, suddenly stopped. The soldiers who followed him also stopped; their weapons were aimed ahead.


    Looking at Ling, Lu Zhou asked with a serious expression, “Something ahead?”


    Ling nodded and replied concisely, “The number of abnormal signal sources detected is fifty.”


    The moment they heard this number, the soldiers all had a headache.


    Emotionally, those people were theirrades-in-arms, at least before. Wanting to defeat fifty well-trained and prepared infantry elites was almost impossible.


    However, even so, no one backed down.


    Yang Yi gritted his teeth and groaned in themunication channel.


    “For the glory of the army, we have to fight them...”


    The rest of the soldiers did not speak; the weapons in their hands had already said all they wanted to say.


    It wasn’t that they were not afraid of death, but for them, there was something more worth cherishing than death.


    Someone used evil technology to tarnish their glory and turned theirrades-in-arms into “zombies” at the mercy ofputer chips. If they retreated here, they were not worthy of being soldiers.


    Listening to the voice in themunication channel, Lu Zhou nced at them. After thinking for a while, he looked at Ling again.


    “Fifty people... How long do you need?”


    Ling: “Estimated 10 minutes... If Commander wants, I can also hurry up.”


    Lu Zhou: “Then hurry up. The security lock of themunication tower is temporary and may notst long.”


    Ling nodded and suddenly moved.


    Before the soldier standing at the back realized what was happening, the robot who was acting as Academician Lu’s bodyguard rushed towards the battlefield alone.


    It took almost three seconds before Yang Yi, who was stunned, reacted quickly and yelled into themunication channel, “Quick! Follow him!”


    He took the lead and rushed forward, leading a group of soldiers towards themunication center...


    Looking at the soldiers who had already entered the battlefield in an instant, Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.


    “At least leave someone to protect me.”


    <i>Whatever...</i>


    <i>It’s fine.</i>


    <i>The battle will be over in a few minutes.</i>


    Lu Zhou adjusted the maic slingshot on his right wrist into standby mode. The nitrogen shield on his left wrist was also prepared, ready to open at any time.


    Although he could barely defeat a space pirate on his own, with this high-tech equipment, self-protection was still no problem.


    After all, immortality didn’t mean immortality.


    Even though the winning ticket was in his hand, he still had to be careful...
