In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 219 Butterfly
The seat arrangement of a transport aircraft is different from that of a passenger aircraft. In order to facilitate meetings, four seats are generally placed opposite each other.

Wang Jixuan said without even turning his head: "You've become so bold after being promoted to a higher level. Do you want me to look up to you?"

"How dare Peony."

Mudan turned to Wang Jixuan and sat down with a smile on her face.

This was the demonstration posture she learned from Shen Qionglin. Her legs were together, her calves were swung to the side, and her two more vivid white palms were crossed on her knees. The blood vessels under the skin were faintly visible.

Mudan said tenderly: "Sir~"

"If you have something to say, please talk to me nicely. Don't get mad at me."

Wang Jixuan laughed and scolded:
"If you want to report something related to your return to the factory for testing, then save some energy. I am not interested in these things."

Mudan pouted in frustration: "Mudan also wanted to thank the commander. I heard from them that the commander had a passionate debate with a group of professors for a whole day and night in order to protect Mudan."

"Who did you listen to?"

"Captain Zheng."

"He's talking nonsense, there's no passion, no day or night..."

Wang Jixuan shrugged:

"Besides, you can either wear armor or a skirt, why are you running around in your underwear?"

"This is a compression suit. It is a must before putting on armor. It is used to protect this precious simulated skin."

Peony raised her white wrists to show off:
"Sir, touch it.

"This part of technology is prohibited from being promoted to avoid confusion between humans and machines!

"My set is the only trial version!"

Wang Jixuan was also a little curious, so he asked Mudan to put her hands flat and poked her gently a few times with his fingertips.

The touch is really good, just like human skin. What's rare is the downward elasticity and the shallow marks that appear when pressed, which are exactly the same as real skin.

This prompted Wang Jixuan to use his spiritual sense to investigate his head maid.

A silver-white alloy skeleton sat in front of him, posing like a lady, with a pair of mechanical prosthetic eyes flashing red.

Taoist Priest Wang: …

Just use your eyes.

At least it looks more beautiful when you look at it with your eyes.

"Peony, have your body data been adjusted?"

"Really?" Peony held her head high, showing off her proud artificial aesthetics. "In order to balance beauty and practicality, I secretly asked them to add some structure for me."

Wang Jixuan frowned and said, "Thinking too little will not help improve your combat skills."

"OK then."

"That's all you're reporting?"

"Of course not," Mudan cleared her throat and quickly regained her composure, "It's a separate report on the D5 integrated war zone machine."

"Huh?" Wang Jixuan was a little confused.

He asked in confusion: "Does this have anything to do with me directly?"

Mudan considered her words carefully, raised a finger and tapped the air, and a small sound wave barrier enveloped the two of them.

She said seriously, "It is somewhat related, because when I went to upgrade this time, I accidentally accessed their control system."

"Control system?"

"Right," Mudan leaned forward slightly and whispered, "They didn't realize that I was a soul... the spirit you mentioned, and I entered their data control center."

Wang Jixuan: ...

No, stealing from your own home?
"what have you found?"

"Doomsday Protocol! There are three Doomsday Protocols in total!"

Peony looked excited:
"The super plan of the D5 integrated war zone has countless mechanical bodies, accumulated over fifty years, and the mechanical body hangar is self-maintained!

"The key to activating the Doomsday Protocol is the commander-in-chief's brain!"

Wang Jixuan was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"That is, if the commander-in-chief does not take the initiative to issue an order to cancel the triple doomsday protocol, then when the commander-in-chief's brain dies, all mechanical bodies will be activated."

Peony said quickly:
"All machines will follow three principles.

“Protect humans, eliminate blade beasts, and protect the earth. The three principles are arranged in order of importance. And it is specially noted here that it is to protect humans, not to obey humans.

"The mechanical body is also equipped with mechanical factories and autonomous engineering machinery, which can expand disorderly in a short period of time!"

Wang Jixuan leaned back in his comfortable chair, frowning and thinking for a while.

This matter has nothing to do with him directly. It is purely the choice of Fu Jian and D5 Comprehensive War Zone.

Fu Jian had been desperate before. After his death, mankind would completely degenerate or be controlled by psychics. That's why this setting was created, to protect mankind instead of obeying them.

"And then?" Wang Jixuan asked, "Do you want to be the Mechanical Queen?"

“How could that be possible?” Mudan curled her lips and shrugged. Her expression was somewhat similar to Wang Jixuan’s. “I just suddenly discovered that my spirit can also attach itself to other mechanical bodies. It’s not data replication or something like that. I can drill into them directly.”

"So this is how you got this banned simulated skin?"

"Hey, this..."

"Alright, I won't report you for such a small matter," Taoist Wang waved his hand, "Go get some tea or coffee. I'm still thinking about how to fight next."

"Good."

Mudan turned off the sound shield, stood up and floated to the tea room in the corner.

In the seating area not far away, several half-human mechas looked at Mudan and exclaimed a few times, "Our autonomous machines have become completely humanized."

The black shell that had been waiting for a long time rushed over in two steps and sat down opposite Wang Jixuan.

The instructor chuckled and said, "Teacher Wang, how confident are you that you can get Xing Dian this time?"

"About 60%. The worst case scenario is 60%."

Wang Jixuan sighed softly:

"If the fourth spiritual practitioner didn't set a trap for me, then we should have a 70% chance of success. We can give it a try."

"Indeed, the odds are good."

Black Shell was confused: "Spiritual practitioner number four set a trap? What does that mean?"

"This one……"

Wang Jixuan did not answer directly, but asked:
"Instructor Shell, do you think that spiritual practitioners will really betray each other?"

"It's hard to say, but there are only six spiritual practitioners in total..."

Black Shell stroked his chin and muttered:

“According to our logic, spiritual practitioners at this time should be wary of each other.

“But I have also seen the report submitted by Professor Shen Qionglin.

"She did a very detailed analysis. Spiritual practitioners are arrogant in nature. They regard themselves as sub-gods. Moreover, they regard the power of blade beasts as a powerful force bestowed by themselves. The power of blade beasts is also a reflection of their own power.

"The report said that there were indeed some conflicts among the six spiritual practitioners. Spiritual practitioner No. 4 inadvertently revealed his disgust towards other spiritual practitioners... The spiritual practitioners were also forming small groups."

Wang Jixuan nodded: "The information I got this time almost matches Shen Qionglin's previous reports."

He lowered his brows and looked to the side, and some words of the spiritual practitioner No. 4 echoed in his heart:
“The guy hiding under the snowy mountain is actually called Weil Aminatuk, and he is a female figure, but of course gender has no meaning to us.

“I don’t know exactly what her situation is.

"The information sharing between us is smooth. She is most likely asleep. Every time we share information, it is a description of a pre-set scenario, such as her own state, whether her thinking is clear, the state of her core circuit, etc.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve communicated directly in logical language.

"The so-called logical communication is similar to my previous request for help from the three of them in the Psychic City. It was a conversation based on our own thinking.

"Her core circuit is controlled by the natural law, and she is good at large-scale battles and efficiently killing enemies. She was also the focus of the siege by the blade beasts, so her injuries were the most serious.

"To be honest, I have some grudge against her.

"She believes in extreme evil, thinking that all living things are born evil, and defines animality as evil thoughts. Our general definition is that animality is instinct and divinity is restraint." All the planets that have been shepherded by her and her followers have suffered great misfortunes.

“If she were to regain her strength… believe me, her philosophy would overturn your imagination.

“The spiritual practitioners you named number one, two, and three are powerful and traditional, and they are conservative; my friends and I are liberal and not aggressive.

"Wilhelmina Tooke was a radical.

"The crisis of the Blade Beasts stems from radicals like her who secretly developed the Pillar-level Blade Beasts despite our opposition..."

and many more.

Wang Jixuan did not completely believe this information.

He sorted out his words and simply repeated the black shells. He asked Mudan to share all this information with Fu Jian in time.

After hearing this, the black shell fell silent.

He muttered, "So, this time we are ostensibly going to target Xing Dian, but in reality we are going to target this Wei... spiritual practitioner number five?"

"No," Wang Jixuan said calmly, "We are just going to kill Xing Dian. Spiritual practitioner No. 5 is just a strategic resource. We can't trust No. 4's words. He rarely speaks the truth."

"Right!"

Black Shell patted his head:
"Okay, I think I understand!

"We then landed near the ruins of an abandoned fortress 360 kilometers away from the Snow Mountain Base. Ground troops have been arranged there to pick us up."

Wang Jixuan asked: "Are the ground forces reliable?"

"It's reliable. We infiltrated D2 from the outside."

Black Shell thought for a moment:
“If the spiritual practitioners are really that powerful, and if spiritual practitioner No. 5 is in a cooperative relationship with Xing Dian, or even a slave relationship, then they may be able to sense the transport plane where Zheng Shiduo and Ji Xiao are.

"Didn't you say before that we should split up and let them who might be exposed act later?

"We landed in different places on both sides."

Taoist Wang nodded and turned to look out the porthole.

This transport plane was maintaining multiple stealth features and flying 'slowly' at high altitude.

At this moment, he was indeed a little worried about the safety of Zheng Shiduo and Wu Man.

Wang Jixuan said: "As long as I can get to the vicinity of the snow mountain, there won't be any secrets there."

They have no means of guarding against spiritual awareness.

Black Shell nodded. "I'll go to the electronic warfare cabin and keep an eye on it. We have to be prepared for battle once we leave the D5 border. I don't know why, but I always feel that this operation won't go smoothly. Let's make more plans."

Wang Jixuan nodded with a smile.

He thought about it and waited for Mudan to equip herself with the black and gray 'Invisible' armor, and then he also changed into his own X armor.

Safety first.

Three hours later, Wang Jixuan looked at the mountains and forests below him which were getting closer and closer. His spiritual sense carefully observed the farthest distance and he smiled in his heart.

Am I being too cautious?

"Peony, ask about Aunt Dragonfly's situation."

"Okay."

"Take it off!"

"Yes, sir."

……

Ding ding.

Underground, in the corner of the passage where the blade beasts remained, in a shuttle.

Aunt Dragonfly yawned, climbed up from the reclined seat, glanced alertly at the data on the monitoring console next to her, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Picking up the communicator, Aunt Dragonfly's mouth twitched a few times.

[Big Peony: Where are you? Are you dead? If not, do you want to meet me? ]

"Do you think this is a face-to-face meeting between netizens?"

Aunt Dragonfly muttered.

Ding Ding!

[Big Peony: I brought you some talisman water and sugar pills! ]

Aunt Dragonfly thought for a moment and gave a simple reply.

【Mai Xiaomei: Give me a rough location, not a detailed one.】

[Da Mudan: 25 degrees west by south of the Snow Mountain Base. How did you get here? ]

【Mai Xiaomei: I’ll fly over! 】

[Big Peony: Then we will wait for you for a while. Fly quickly. The second team landed somewhere else and it will take time to rush over and gather.]

Aunt Dragonfly tilted her head slightly, with a hint of alertness in her eyes.

Why did the word "Peony" become a little frivolous?
Fraud?

Aunt Dragonfly was just thinking about it when the instrument panel next to her suddenly flashed red and the green punctuation mark representing the bear turned red.

Nourishing.

The voice of the bear echoed in the earphones beside him, still calm:

"We're surrounded. Something's wrong. It seems like they've discovered me a long time ago, but now they're suddenly attacking me."

Aunt Dragonfly picked up the headphones and asked, "Can we escape?"

"They didn't find the escape routes I left. This group of people is not very professional. There are only a few A-level psykers who are a bit tricky."

"Well," Aunt Dragonfly said with a cold expression, "remember, you can't be captured now."

"Understood, Captain, don't worry."

There was a whistling sound from the bear's side:

"I'm worried about the timing of my exposure and whether I might pass on the wrong information."

"Then I'll remind them."

Aunt Dragonfly's thumb had already typed a line of words on the communicator, and without any hesitation, she clicked send.

Nourishing.

"Captain, I have to destroy the call information. See you in safe house number three."

"Okay," Aunt Dragonfly said without any wavering in her eyes. She turned on the shuttle and threw the headphones aside. "If you survive, I'll introduce you to a fierce woman."

"I like young people."

"Then try your best to die."

beep.

The call went into a busy tone, and the last sound that came through was a slight explosion from the bear's side.

He destroyed his own communications device.

Aunt Dragonfly began to turn the shuttle slowly. The shuttle's magnetic halo flickered slightly and it hovered one foot high in the passage.

She was about to leave, and the micro robots and parasitic eggs that had been released earlier did not notice any danger around them.

Aunt Dragonfly looked around casually and activated her ability, and she saw a bear running wildly towards the nearby mountains on the outskirts of Rainbow Town, as well as several drones chasing after it.

Without even looking at it, she immediately turned the power switch of the shuttle.

"Uh huh huh~"

A faint chanting sound suddenly appeared in the dark underground passage.

A pitch-black butterfly suddenly landed outside the special glass on the front panel of Aunt Dragonfly's shuttle and gently fluttered its wings.
