Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 361 Mutual Benefit and Win-win
"Okay, let's confirm the destination."

Song Shi knocked on the table and looked around at everyone: "Academic Council."

"The Council of Knowledge." Ai Lu sat steadily, "Punish evil."

Then suddenly there was no sound.

After a few seconds, Lapis Lazuli spoke slowly, "I must go to the Council of Knowledge for the Omnics."

"This is the information I have obtained recently." Almost at the same time, Ai Lu and Song Shi's data tablets called out, and Lapis Lazuli sent a consolidated document: "A group of intelligent machines are imprisoned within the territory of the Council of Knowledge."

During these days, while Ai Lu was looking for technical support everywhere, honing his martial arts with officers, sightseeing with Song Shi, and casting heavy assassins, Lapis Lazuli was contacting the group of intelligent machines within the Beiting Defense Front.

Twenty years ago, after the fall of Planet Yaoxing III and the collapse and failure of the [Freedom Revolution], the group of intelligent machines fell apart on the spot.

Some were blocked during their escape, and were either killed or captured, becoming prisoners, while others managed to escape and fled into the deep sea, where they built data units and permanent fortifications to lick their wounds and try to accumulate strength to launch another revolution one day.

Some of them linger in the abyss and surface networks all day long, becoming roving AIs, causing trouble for companies and other forces from time to time.

But there are also some intelligent machines that choose to join a certain force.

Some of them work for giant companies and are classified as "intelligent traitors" by Lapis Lazuli, while others accept the protection of the Enlightened One and become the latter's partners.

And on the Pan-Eastern Continent Federation side.

The Beiting Defense Line is one of the best choices for intelligent machines to join.

First of all, the Beiting Defense Line is powerful and can easily isolate other forces from spying on intelligent machines. More importantly, there is no discrimination against intelligent machines here. As long as you don’t commit any crimes, it would be best if you can fight. Then you are a part of this place.

What's more, for the Beiting Defense Front, they are also happy to have a group of intelligent members to make up for their own weaknesses in network technology.

Mutual benefit and win-win.

Thus, twenty years after the end of the [Freedom Revolution], the Beiting Defense Front has become one of the most important gathering points for intelligent machines in the East Continent. The current leader here is an intelligent machine officer with the rank of colonel.

Song Shi opened the integrated file and quickly browsed it.

The situation is not complicated.

Strictly speaking, the Council of Knowledge has no prejudice against intelligent machines. They simply regard intelligent machines as "research samples."

There was nothing new about this, after all, there were "research specimens" everywhere, and the same went for people, and everyone was treated equally.

In short, when the [Freedom Revolution] failed and the omnics were scattered, the Council of Knowledge captured a batch of them to enrich the sample library, and it has not stopped since then, and is still carrying out the capture operation until now.

According to the spying and investigation of the omnic colonel over the years, he has confirmed the place where these omnics are imprisoned.

Located in the [Council of Knowledge], Taitai County, a large intelligent research institute.

"To sum it up." Song Shi tapped the screen: "You plan to dismantle the research institute and rescue the surviving intelligent machines."

Lapis Lazuli said, "Correct."

"How far are you from the third ring now?" Song Shi suddenly asked.

Lapis Lazuli said without hesitation: "It's just a fine line."

"The peak of the second ring plus the identity of a depth 4 demon." Song Shi commented: "Just barely enough, I mean maybe, possibly, just barely enough."

"There are still many experts in the Council of Knowledge. Moreover, the technology there is advanced, so the space you can play as a demon will be reduced to a certain extent."

"Excuse me, didn't the colonel say anything?" Ai Lu suddenly asked. "It can't do that." Lapis Lazuli replied, "It is already a member of the Beiting Defense Line, a military colonel. Without sufficient reason, it cannot risk angering the Council of Knowledge."

Although the Beiting Defense Front is not afraid of the Council of Knowledge, it is by no means unscrupulous, and its members can still do as they please.

A colonel’s status is certainly not low, but it is far from being enough to require the Beiting Defense Front to intervene.

The Council of Knowledge has followed the rules over the years and specifically avoided the Beiting Defense Front when capturing the omnics. Otherwise, the Beiting Defense Front would have taken strong action without the omnic colonel's order.

But now.

Ultimately, those imprisoned intelligent machines have nothing to do with the Beiting Defense Line.

"The omnics here need a backbone. It cannot resign and go with us." Lapis Lazuli chose his words carefully: "But it promised to continue to provide us with remote technical support."

There are no [Lords of the Abyss] at Depth 5 among the Beiting Defense Front’s omnics, but there are still several [Demons] at Depth 4.

"With their help, I am confident that I can provide efficient solutions for identity disguise, whereabouts concealment, consultation integration, and technical hacking."

"Well, that's the advantage." Ai Lu nodded.

".Advantage?" Lapis Lazuli was slightly stunned.

"I originally thought that you, Lapis Lazuli, were the only technician accompanying us," Ailu explained patiently. "But now, there are several Depth 4 demons added. Isn't this an advantage?"

"Good idea." Song Shi clapped his hands and praised: "Looking at it this way, we really have a big advantage."

“Maybe, possibly.”

Song Shi leaned back and raised a finger: "All of this is based on the premise that I am not here."

"—Now it is inevitable."

"The last question is, when do we set off?" Song Shi suddenly sat up again: "I have already recast Chongshi, and my injuries have almost recovered. What do you think?"

"Two days later, either time is fine." Ai Lu hugged his coat and said, "The equipment I ordered here has not been delivered yet."

"Oh? Something new?"

Song Shi was very interested, and then he suddenly seemed to remember something. He pondered and said, "Wait, let me guess. It's not a full-cover cloak with a drag-reducing coating, right?"

"Uh, yes." Ai Lu looked at the other party strangely: "Excuse me, how did you guess it?"

"It just happened, I was lucky."

Song Shi waved his hand modestly.

Wearing a drag-reducing cloak is the iconic attire of the "Xiezhi" in the previous life.

As long as the opponent puts on the cloak, with the efficient drag-reducing coating and the high-speed maneuvering brought by the "track" psychic power, he can speed up again. Moreover, the full-covering cloak is wide, which can conceal one's movements and help use various props.

"I'll do it in two days." Lapis Lazuli paused for a moment and said solemnly, "I'm going to do a specialized modification and change the functional module configuration."

"Okay, let's gather here and set off in two days. I also have something to do."

Song Shi came to a conclusion.

"——I want to see Wang Chenlie again."
