My Apocalypse Fortress Vehicle - 356. annihilation
After Old Jack measured Gu Zhuo’s armor and arms and recorded the data, he planned to see the guest off. He was about to start building two night owls. While he was building them, no one could disturb him. This was the purpose and principle he had always adhered to.
“Old Jack, I have something to ask you.”
Gu Zhuo did not leave in a hurry, but talked to old Jack.
“What’s up?”
Old Jack looked at him doubtfully. He originally thought that Gu Zhuo could not get the Night Owl drawings and should leave early.
“I want to know what other powerful weapons, or some powerful technologies, can be used to enhance my strength.”
Gu Zhuo asked him bluntly.
Hearing this, Old Jack touched the beard on his chin and said to Gu Zhuo:
“K, why do you ask this?”
“I want to know, this will be useful to me, because from your description, Meteor is very strong, and I have to find a way to be stronger than him.”
Gu Zhuo didn’t lie.
Hearing Gu Zhuo’s straightforward answer, Old Jack stopped what he was doing and stared at him closely:
“I understand, I understand… But instead of asking me, let me give you a suggestion. You’d better ask V directly. Although I am a mechanical craftsman, I am only responsible for physical weapon manufacturing, those real , a theoretical weapon that is powerful beyond the scope of my understanding, and is information that only V can find a way to obtain.
“Go and ask him, I think he should be willing to tell you.”
Hearing what Old Jack said, and seeing how sincere he looked, as if he wasn’t deceiving himself, Gu Zhuo nodded:
“okay, I get it.”
After they finished speaking, Aisha also stood up from her seat:
“Let’s go. Now that everything has been settled, it’s time for me to take you back.”
“Um.”
Gu Zhuo walked up behind her, and the two of them walked out the door together.
“I won’t give it away.”
Old Jack called after the two of them, Elsa waved to him and walked out of Old Jack’s house.
…
Walking on the street outside, it was getting very late at this time. Looking at the deserted and damp streets, there were many homeless people sleeping directly on the streets. Their modified prosthetics shone with dim light under the dim street lights.
Like stars being swallowed up on a cold winter night.
“Elsa, actually I just wanted to ask a question at Old Jack’s place.”
Gu Zhuo, who was walking on this sticky street, said suddenly.
“What do you want to ask?”
Elsa answered him.
“That Night Owl, since it is a meteor weapon, and you say it is a cursed weapon, then why did its blueprint appear in Old Jack’s hands? And it sounds like Old Jack is very familiar with that weapon.”
Hearing his question, Aisha paused.
Gu Zhuo originally thought she was going to answer his question, but unexpectedly, something blocked her steps.
At her feet, a thin child crawled over.
The child couldn’t tell whether he was a boy or a girl. His face was gray and there were many scars.
The child grabbed Elsa’s feet, raised his head, and said to Elsa:
“Sister, okay, okay, okay, give me some money.”
Aisha glanced at the child, but didn’t show anything. She kicked the child away with her feet and stepped over him.
The child was kicked away by Aisha, and then turned to Gu Zhuo, crawled to his feet using both hands and feet, and hugged his feet:
“Give me some money, give me some…”
“this…”
Gu Zhuo looked at the child at his feet and looked at Aisha. He originally thought that Aisha would have some sympathy for the child, but to his surprise, she actually stepped away from him.
“Elsa, how can I help him?”
After all, Gu Zhuo felt that this child was a little pitiful, so he asked Aisha about it.
But Aisha just looked at the child on the ground coldly and said to Gu Zhuo:
“Don’t worry about him, let’s just go away. He is not a human child at all, just a corpse with a brain-computer chip. In fact, he has been dead for a while.”
“What’s the meaning?”
After hearing this, Gu Zhuo looked down at the child on the ground and saw that he was still clutching him tightly and begging.
“There is a specialized organization in the underground city. They will plunder homeless children everywhere, torture them to death, and then add brain-computer chips to their brains so that they can be used for themselves.
“These children will lose pain, lose fear, and lose any emotion. Everything you see is a corpse installed using brain-computer chips. That organization will use the corpses of these children to do anything, including to you and me. In this way, people who look out of place in the dungeon are begging.”
Hearing Aisha’s words, Gu Zhuo frowned.
“How are you sure that this is the child in that organization?”
Gu Zhuo continued to ask her.
“Because I have encountered it. If you don’t believe it, I can confirm it for you.”
After Aisha finished speaking, she turned around and grabbed the child who was hugging Gu Zhuo’s feet from the ground.
After the child was caught by her, he was waving his hands in the air and struggling, and he kept wailing:
“Okay, okay, okay, okay…”
“Stop pretending.”
A blue light flashed in Aisha’s eyes, and Gu Zhuo accurately caught the change of this light.
After this blue light flashed past, the child in mid-air stopped struggling. Without saying a word, his hands hung down feebly and became motionless.
Elsa let go and threw the child to the ground.
The child was thrown to the ground, like a piece of rotten meat, slumped on the ground without any movement at all.
Elsa said coldly:
“I damaged the brain-computer chip in its brain. Without the support of the brain-computer chip, this is just the most ordinary corpse.”
Seeing this, everything turned out to be exactly as Elsa said. Gu Zhuo couldn’t help but get goosebumps on his back, and a chill came from behind.
This society has become so dark that even children and corpses are not spared.
It was simply more terrifying than any demon Gu Zhuo knew.
“Whenever I see a situation like this, where people look at it indifferently, as if these things have never happened in this world, I feel that V’s move is extremely correct.
“This society has died a long time ago, and what is active now are just some huge maggots. We cannot bring this society back to life, but we must at least eliminate these maggots and their defenders.”
Aisha’s tone was cold, something Gu Zhuo had never seen before.
Gu Zhuo didn’t know what to say. He just looked at the child’s body on the ground, and his heart was filled with countless sorrow and desolation.
“Did you just ask me how old Jack could have the drawings of Night Owl?”
Aisha changed the topic and seemed to have returned to the look that Gu Zhuo was most familiar with at the beginning.
“Um.”
Gu Zhuo nodded and asked her again,
“This can always be said, right? I don’t need to ask V anymore, right?”
“No, of course you can say that there is nothing to hide about old Jack.”
