Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution

Winnie Textile Factory.

Lan Wei, Lu Ge, Miran, Chu Ling, and others were waiting in the darkness, but their expressions were all different, and their brows were solemn.

Lan Wei's white trench coat fluttered in the wind as she stared at the entrance to the central factory building, her white fingers unconsciously stroking the hem of her coat.

She was well aware of Lin Hui's value and also knew the cunning of the Mechanic Cult.

She wondered what kind of deal Dominic and Lin Hui had discussed, and what choice Lin Hui would make.

Compared to Lanwei's worries, Miran seemed somewhat lost and dejected.

Dominic's words nearly shattered her faith!

Lu Ge could only gently pat her shoulder with his palm, offering silent comfort.

Miran felt the warmth from her shoulder, gently bit her lower lip, and the confusion in her eyes faded slightly.

Chu Ling remained shrouded in shadows like a ghost, only her gaze had grown colder.

Da, da, da.

A series of steady footsteps came from inside the central factory building.

Everyone's breath caught in their throats, and they all turned their gazes toward the entrance.

Lin Hui walked out with a relaxed expression, and behind him was Septián Horn.

At this moment, Septien Horn's eyes were empty and unfocused, and his soul had been severely damaged.

Just now, after finishing his conversation with Dominic, Lin Hui didn't rush out. Instead, he released Albedo from the alternate dimension and interrogated the young master of the Horn family.

Through interrogation, Lin Hui obtained a considerable amount of intelligence.

Septien wasn't lying; he did kidnap Eileen to lure him out through Lugo so he could complete the mission Dominic had given him.

but......

Lin Hui also learned that the other party joined the Mechanicus in order to save his father, Walden Horn.

Moreover, the other party was thinking that once he rose to a high position in the Mechanicus and acquired a stronger body, he would find an opportunity to kill him to avenge the destruction of the Horn family!

"Tsk."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hui sneered inwardly.

"Is this family brain-dead? The youngest son offended me and I killed him, the father got me arrested, and now the eldest son is eager to come and get himself killed. What did I ever do to offend the Horn family?"

However, it was during this interrogation that Lin Hui unexpectedly learned an important piece of information about the Mechanicus.

For believers to achieve "mechanical ascension" and transform into cyborgs, they not only need to upload their consciousness to the Consciousness Backup Pillar, but also have a crucial prerequisite: their original body must die!

Only when the original flesh and blood body completely loses its vital signs will the consciousness database be activated and backed up, downloading it into the prepared living metal body.

"No wonder that when Dominic was exposed, he didn't even struggle and just chose to commit suicide. Clement also died mysteriously after being captured."

Lin Hui suddenly realized, "For the Cult of Mechanics, death is not the end, but a new beginning."

Lin Hui glanced at Septien Horn beside him. "Want to die? Dream on!"

Now that he knew the rule, how could he possibly let Septian have his way?

As long as this physical body remains alive, Septien's consciousness will be forever locked within this shell, and the backup from the Mechanicus will never be activated.

The greatest punishment for Septien would be to make him wish he were dead.

Besides intelligence, Lin Hui also found a spatial ring on Septian's body.

Inside were 12 intermediate-level Starstones, 80 basic-level Starstones, a Judgement Mech suit, and that eerie green collector used to gather the consciousness of believers...

Of course, there's also a communication ring.

"This was a good deal." Lin Hui cheerfully pulled himself out of his thoughts and slowly walked up to Lan Wei and the others.

As Lin Hui approached, Lan Wei parted her red lips slightly, hesitating to speak: "Mr. Lin, you and Dominic..."

She wanted to ask Lin Hui if he had agreed to the deal, but she swallowed the words back.

She was worried about hearing a bad answer...

Moreover, his current role is Lin Hui's personal bodyguard.

Seeing Lan Wei's conflicted and worried eyes, Lin Hui couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry, I told you before. One day, I'll take you to near-Earth orbit, and then I'll need your help to heal me..."

Upon hearing this, Lan Wei's tense back instantly relaxed.

She gave a relieved smile and nodded gently: "Mm."

Subsequently, Lin Hui told Lan Wei the information that "only death can transform one into a robot."

Upon hearing this, Lan Wei's eyes instantly turned sharp.

This intelligence is extremely important to the Empire!

This means that when capturing members of the Mechanicus, we must never give them the opportunity to commit suicide! We must capture them alive and then physically imprison them to prevent their resurrection.

Otherwise, the Empire will have one more enemy: the Mechanicus!

"How is Eileen?" Lin Hui looked at the petite girl who had been placed on the ground by Chu Ling.

"I've checked," Lan Wei said softly, regaining her composure. "She's fine, just unconscious after being injected with a drug."

"Wake her up," Lin Hui said.

Lanwei nodded slightly and knelt down next to Eileen.

She raised her fair palm, and a layer of soft, icy blue spiritual energy instantly condensed in her palm, slowly covering Eileen's forehead.

Nourished by psychic energy, Eileen let out a weak whimper. Her long eyelashes trembled, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

As her vision gradually cleared, the first thing Eileen saw was a stunningly beautiful blue-haired older sister she didn't recognize.

But when she shifted her gaze and caught a glimpse of Lu Ge and Miran standing not far away, the little girl's eyes reddened, and the usually optimistic and strong girl instantly broke down and cried.

"Lord Lu Ge... Lord Miran..." Eileen struggled to her feet, stumbling towards Lu Ge and clutching his clothes tightly. "Please, save my mother! My mother is injured!!"

However, before Lu Ge could offer any words of comfort, a burst of hysterical laughter suddenly erupted from the crowd of Mechanicus believers nearby.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

That was a gaunt-faced man, none other than Eileen's neighbor, Pick!

Pick's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Eileen, his gaze seeming to want to devour her alive: "Your mother? Your mother is dead!! Ahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Eileen was struck dumb, her face turning deathly pale.

Piqué was so overwhelmed by Lanvi's psionic pressure that he was forced to kneel on the ground, unable to move, but he roared:

"Eileen! You wretched girl!! It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, these busybodies wouldn't have come! You ruined our great mechanical ascension ceremony! You made me lose my chance for immortality!!"

Eileen stared blankly at Pick, her lips trembling violently. "My mother isn't dead. You...you're lying to me...aren't you?"

With the help of Lord Lu Ge, my mother finally recovered from her illness and found a stable job at a textile factory yesterday. She is also working hard at the tavern.

Their little family is clearly getting better; they can clearly see hope!

Why did it turn out like this?
