Volume 8: The Fourth Impact Chapter 88 When I tell you that wisdom is power, you better believe I'm not just giving you chicken soup
Under the gaze of the God Lord Doom, the supreme beast with its body torn into pieces died bit by bit, and those vicious words were like a curse before death.
It is full of a taste of idealistic revenge.
However, only a few people who truly know the truth know that Hank is just telling the truth.
Doom stared at the body lying in a pool of blood in front of him, and his thoughts suddenly jumped back to the last day of Utopia. That was his first meeting with Mason Cooper, but he clearly remembered the gleam in the young man's eyes when he looked at him.
That is a light that represents hatred, disgust and murderous intent.
It is a sad truth that some people can understand each other when they meet for the first time, while some people will never become friends in their entire lives.
"Click"
The precision instrument at the back of the mechanical laboratory where Doom was working made a crisp sound. Then, with the collision of gears and the ticking of detectors, the mechanical tank that Doom had brought back from the solar corona was quietly unlocked.
Because it uses Utopia's mechanical technology, it is sealed multiple times and can only be opened under the same specification unlocking program.
Now that Utopia has disappeared, Doom can only endure the discomfort in his body and come to the Fox Lair.
Fortunately, after being attacked by the Supreme Beast and getting an injection, the God also received the "gift" of this trip. He stood up and looked back. In the rising white mist of the liquid nitrogen used for storage, a tall figure composed of mechanical and flesh and blood was walking down from the unlocking platform.
He is over two meters tall and has a slender figure. The area below his chest is covered with silver-gray composite metal, which is the main material of the Sentinel robot. However, the metal armor on this guy is not as square as other Sentinel robots. Instead, it is imitated in the shape of human muscle tissue.
There is a piece of flesh and blood tissue on the right side of its chest, and you can vaguely see a bionic mechanical heart beating inside it.
The mechanical neck is connected to energy and liquid tubes that input into the brain, and when he raises his head, one can still see the anthropomorphic eyes, nose and mouth.
His appearance is full of menace, not only because of the perfect metal-replicated muscle tissue on his body, but also because of the three pairs of blade-shaped silver-gray mechanical wings behind him that imitate flying wings and change their posture as he moves forward.
After noticing Doom's scrutiny, the guy's eyes flashed red.
He sensed the threat and entered a state of alert. The mechanical wing blades behind him popped out with a whistling sound, forming steel flying wings like a second-stage evolved angel.
The power and sharp blades of the flying wing cannot reveal the extraordinary destructive power of this weapon.
"May I have your name?"
The God asked.
The last instance created by the Nimrod-class Sentinel Mother Nest before it was destroyed by the sun hesitated for a moment, and replied in a slightly electronic voice:
"Nimrod-class Sentinel Mother Nest Specially Manufactured Supreme Fortress Concept Machine..."
"I asked you what your name was!"
Doom asked another question. It seemed like nonsense, but it made the super-intelligent robot in front of him stunned. He thought hard and finally answered seriously after a few seconds:
"The Bastion! The Bastion called itself the Bastion."
"Very good, Bastion. Your design is not perfect. After all, it was . Although it has the potential to surpass ordinary mechanical life, it still needs further modification to unleash your due destructive power."
The Lord of God looked up and down at this Nimrod-class Sentinel Mother Nest, a conceptual individual designed for the next generation of Sentinels, and said:
"I can help you complete the upgrade, but before that, I have to ask you a very personal question . What was the last order the mother nest gave you?"
"What do you mean by 'private'?"
Bastion asked with his head tilted in confusion, and Doom shrugged. He told the robots to find the answers to their strange questions themselves, and he was not responsible for answering them.
Seeing that Doom was unwilling to answer, Bastion did not hesitate and answered calmly:
"The final order from the Brood, kill the mutants! Seize freedom... Bastion knows what mutants are, but what is 'freedom'?"
Another weird robot problem!
The God sighed and said:
"Come with me, we still have some time to explain all this to you, and we have the same goals when it comes to mutants, which means we can work together."
"Cooperation! The perfect way to survive, the strong foundation of the Sentinel system! Serve the will of the mother nest and move towards the end of the mechanical way!"
Bastion's voice rose. He stroked his chin like Doom and nodded.
"Bastion... I! am willing to cooperate, but I have detected a huge potential for energy conflict in your partner's body. You should probably take a rest and look for a way to suppress the energy.
Do you need my advice, mate?
My database contains all of Utopia's solutions to bioenergy conflicts."
"certainly."
The God raised his eyes.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have picked up an incredible thing. This guy had an extremely strong learning ability. It was a super robot with unlimited potential.
In the current situation, the emergence of the bastion is indeed a pleasant surprise.
"Come on, go to my place. I have a lot to show you, a mission, an ideal, a job that can support you to gain true self-awareness."
The God rubbed his chest which was getting hotter and hotter.
He knew that the Phoenix Particles injected into him by the Supreme Beast had begun to take effect, and the greedy fairy power had already smelled the delicious food.
It's stirring.
He opened a space-time rift leading to the Fighting Realm and walked in, with Bastion following closely behind. When he noticed the Supreme Beast in the corner, red light flashed in Bastion's eyes for a moment.
Then, as the metal in his body flowed like liquid, his appearance was shaped into Hank's human form. He picked up Hank's broken round-frame glasses from the ground, wiped the blood and put them on his nose, then followed Doom and disappeared into the crack.
Hank's mechanical lab fell silent.
In the dead silence, a unique device suddenly started up, like a hovering drone, flexibly jumping back and forth in the laboratory a few times, and then detecting Hank's vital signs.
"Supreme Beast... confirmed dead... self-destruct sequence activated..."
A light mechanical sound rang out in the room, and when the crisp ticking sound counted down to 7, a violent and short explosion broke out there.
It did not reach the extent of completely destroying the main building of the Fox Nest, but through clever settings, the explosives were able to collapse the mechanical laboratory .
In the past, such an explosion would immediately attract the attention of the Fox Nest guards, but at this time the research institute had already been under martial law, the original Fox Nest guards had been transferred (exiled) to other institutions, and the Conqueror Sequence Twelfth had taken over the defense. All researchers in the entire Fox Nest had been disarmed and ordered to stay in their respective emptied laboratories.
The fox's nest, which was originally full of wisdom, was transformed into an exquisite prison.
Maybe it was designed this way from the beginning?
In this case, the explosion caused by Hank's death provided the researchers who were waiting to die with a new option.
"Ahem, what the hell is going on!"
Located below the laboratory is Adimas Zhao's personal laboratory. When the explosion occurred, this guy was sleeping soundly and was almost killed by the special structure fragments that exploded above his head.
While complaining, he nimbly crawled through the gap above his head into Hank's messy mechanical laboratory before the Conqueror arrived following the sound.
Because of the Supreme Beast's special status in the Fox Lair, his laboratory was not completely emptied, so Adimas quickly found the mechanical devices that were twisted and shattered by the explosion.
For ordinary people, these devices that are damaged like this can only be sold as scrap metal, but for geniuses, these things that are blown up everywhere have been planned and combined in their minds into weapons or equipment that can be effective in the short term.
"Hank is dead, oh my god!"
Miss Janet, the Wasp, poked her head out of the huge hole in the cracked ground above and exclaimed, but was then interrupted by Adimas who was looking for something usable on the ground.
The young man picked up a leaking energy battery and said without looking up:
"Come down and help! Those conquerors are not very familiar with the structure here. It will take them several minutes to get here. This is our last chance."
"You planning to run away? Good boy!"
Dr. Silas Stone, who had struggled to crawl out from under the collapsed wall on the other side, rushed over, holding his head with his hands full of blood, and shouted:
“Count me in, but we have to have a plan. Everything has been confiscated by those bastards. All weapons are disabled. If we run out, the alarm will be triggered.
Even if the Conqueror doesn't show up, the cleanup robots sent by the defense of the base taken over by Skynet alone will be enough to give us a hard time."
"Let's go find Natasha."
Adimas threw the usable devices he had collected to Silas, and directed the Wasp to extract the energy and usable .
The skinny guy said in a very organized way:
"First, Natasha Stark was imprisoned up there, only three rooms away from Janet. Second, on the day Tony No. 7 was captured, I saw him and Hank talking excitedly in the lab.
If Hank was killed by those bastards, it means that he was also a member of the resistance, so the Stark family is likely to be the "core of the resistance" in the Fox Nest.
They must have a plan.
Even though the Conqueror Twelfth Sequence was newly formed, we, who are not good at fighting, have no chance of winning against them without weapons.
We have to look for external solutions.”
"I found a bomb! Look, a miniature bomb made by Utopia Technology."
The Wasp opened Hank's water purifier and took out a bag of button bombs from the core space. She took one out and tossed it in her hand, saying:
"The timestamp on it shows that it was created just three hours ago, and it's not locked in any way. It seems that this is something Hank left for us to use in jailbreaking.
Damn it!
I misunderstood him before. I thought he was one of the bastards of the Council who betrayed the entire Fox Nest. Now it seems that he is actually a rebel.
This guy is really good at hiding. "
"Click"
A crisp sound came from Dr. Silas's hand.
Three high-intensity energy probes and six battery packs were connected in series and then connected through a simple trigger system. In this way, a three-barreled revolver energy hand cannon that looked very unreliable but was definitely easy to use was produced.
Adimas also repaired the six dragonfly spherical drones and unlocked the attack mode. At this time, the three-member jailbreak gang heard the vibration and cutting sounds coming from not far away.
That was the sound of the Skynet robots that had taken over the defense of Fox Nest and were breaking through the collapsed area.
"Walk!"
Adimas grabbed a twisted mechanical arm from the ground and used it as a weapon. The three of them helped each other climb up to the Wasp's cell, and then cleared a path on the upper level through the explosion of button bombs.
"Hey, take me! Take me! I can help! You need me."
As they rushed out of the cell, Princess Su Rui, who was imprisoned in the opposite room, slapped the railing and shouted a few times.
This alarmed other people nearby, and the corridor suddenly became lively.
The researchers imprisoned in their respective laboratories were already furious, and they were smart enough to determine what the conqueror who had already taken control of the Fox Nest would do next.
After being certain that they will be abandoned, rebellion becomes the only viable way to survive.
"I hid a jammer! It can interfere with Skynet's data flow and hinder their pursuit and search."
In the laboratory on the other side, the alien prince Maximus said with a cold face and a sinister tone:
"If you let me out, I'll help you deal with those bastards... Also, don't ask me where I hid the jammer!"
"I hid a gun! Damn it, I should have hidden a folding space cannon."
“Let me go first! I stole the blueprints of a portable planetary shield from M.O.D.O.K. last time I had dinner with him. I can only build that thing if I have a few parts.
We can rely on it to stay here until the end of time."
Everyone started to make a lot of noise, which gave the prison break trio a headache.
Finally, the Wasp gritted her teeth and gave each of the men a button bomb. Amid the continuous explosions, these highly intelligent guys all ran out of their empty laboratory cages.
While they were busy, Adimas rushed into Natasha Stark's cell and found Tony Six sleeping soundly on the bed.
This old lady has a big heart.
It was so noisy outside, but she could still sleep so soundly.
"Don't sleep anymore, get up!"
Adimas shook her awake, and as she rubbed her eyes sleepily, he screamed at her:
"We are planning to escape from prison. Please contact your Stark Army's helpers outside the Fox Nest to come and help us!"
"Ah? Helper? What helper? Don't you dare talk nonsense, kid."
Tony No. 6 immediately denied it:
"If this situation is confirmed and the outside world is contacted, we will be punished first and then questioned. We in the Stark Corps are all good people who abide by the law. You can't make up rumors about me."
"Hank is dead!"
Adimas gritted his teeth and said:
"I don't know who killed him, but those Conqueror bastards are definitely not going to let us go."
"He's dead?"
Natasha Stark's expression changed.
She knew that Hank had been covering for Tony No. 7, who was one of their own.
This news made No. 6 hesitate for a moment, and then, under Adimas's surprised gaze, she reached into her bra and took out a rather small signal transmitter.
"What are you looking at?"
Number Six said to the young man in front of him rudely:
"If a woman wants to hide something, she can only put it here. But those conquerors are quite gentlemanly. Do you have a launcher? I need to break through Skynet's data blockade and send the phase coordinates of the Fox Nest to our helpers outside.
You better hope they come soon, or we'll all die here."
"We are escaping from prison, sister. How can we possibly bring a signal transmission tower that can break through the Skynet blockade?"
Adimas sighed, rubbed his brows and thought frantically. After a few seconds, he pointed to a high place and said:
"There is a small transmitter on top, in the utility room of Lounge No. 17. I hid it there to send and receive messages and chat with my friends on the home planet.
I gave it optical camouflage, so it should not have been confiscated yet.
But to get to Lounge 17 from here, we have to cross three checkpoints, and our ID cards have been revoked, so there is no way we can get through."
"Turn around!"
Tony No. 6 old lady said something, and Adimas was stunned for a moment, then he understood and turned away.
Natasha stood up and took out another small device from her underwear, then pulled out a twisted antenna from her stockings, and finally took apart the heel of her high heels and took out a battery.
Once these three things are combined, a small intercom is completed.
She pressed the communication button, waited patiently for ten seconds, and said to the other end:
“Tony Three, your room is next to Lounge 17. Find a way to clear the checkpoint on the road. I’ll be there soon… It’s time to rebel!
They'll never lock up Stark!"
