Cyber Heroes

Speed ​​King... The Regional Development Foundation run by Hayabusa Voigt in his youth owns an office building near the center of Sap City. This office building is located near the high-end residential area of ​​Sap City. However, Falcon Voigt did not live there back then.

It’s not that the building is valuable because it’s close to the city center. In fact, on the contrary, it is precisely because of this building that the central part of Sap City appears in this neighborhood.

This building originally belonged to Yawgmoth. In a certain year, Yawgmoth donated the idle property in his name to his adopted son. He felt that his adopted son's direction was very good, so he gave him some "initial help." According to what Yawgmoth said back then, he didn't know much about being a father, so he could only provide such support.

Falcon certainly hopes to let the locals live a peaceful and prosperous life, but he does not exclude help from others. The starting capital provided by Yawgmoth can indeed allow him to skip the most difficult accumulation stage at the beginning.

Before Hayabusa took over this place, the label "real estate held by members of the board of directors of Superman Enterprises" caused the land prices in the surrounding land to rise.

The geographical "center area" of Old Sap City is actually a large area of ​​artificial lakes and woodlands. It also cost a little to create this kind of terrain in such a tropical area. On the one hand, this design is to prevent the heat island effect from making the city too hellish. On the other hand, Sap City is after all one of the cities built by Superman Enterprises to promote the human prosthetic project. Its supporting industry is "scientific research." Xiangshan has reserved a large area of ​​the park in the center of the city to ensure that Superman Enterprise's research on "benchmarked cash crops" can be carried out conveniently.

After the city was completed, most of the central part of the city was developed into urban parks, and a small part became high-end residential areas.

However, after many wars, this place was abandoned. Almost all of the earth's native plants in the open air died from fungi carrying cross-border infectious viruses. A small number of laboratory cash crops, plants successfully mutated in high-temperature environments, and their unstable offspring grew randomly on land that had lost humans. Random mutations.

As for those historical stories, no one knows them for a long time.

Only a handful of enthusiasts are left trying to make fundamentally unreliable reconstructions from fundamentally unreliable information.

For example...

Hot Plating, a member of the Martial God Society, has been exploring the mystery of "missing plant materials".

According to Hot Plating’s understanding of the old times, humans in the old days liked to use plants as materials to make furniture, decorations or daily necessities. Logically speaking, this should be a high-end residence, and there should be a lot of plant-based materials. Even if the climate here alternates frequently between dry and rainy seasons, it will always leave traces.

He felt that maybe this was some kind of different old culture?

Yang Pingtie found this very absurd.

He can actually answer this question right now.

As early as more than a hundred years ago, similar gadgets had been plundered.

The research knight did it.

The Father of All Machines gathered all the remaining creatures that survived the Biosphere One extinction event and managed them in a unified way.

Those retroviruses created by humans after cracking the underlying system of life have a spreading ability that is unimaginable for naturally occurring viruses. Humans can even allow a virus to be transmitted between eukaryotes and prokaryotes, ignoring compatibility issues. A small number of bacteria and organisms carrying this virus still exist in the soil of the earth after the extinction of the original biosphere. The restoration of the ecosystem has therefore become elusive.

Only polar moss managed to survive due to "low temperatures that baseline organisms cannot overcome."

The Father of All Machines had to try to create a living environment for these remnants of the old biosphere in space, and develop cloning technology that could be used across multiple species.

Apart from the baseline humans themselves, the naturally mutated creatures remaining on the surface have become almost the only subjects that can be studied. And beyond that?

For a while, some biology research knights could only rely on AI to simulate protein folding to conduct experiments. Slightly more advanced groups can only rely on well-preserved laboratory strains for research.

During this process, the scientific research knights naturally focused on the "corpses of past creatures". "Extracting as complete genetic information as possible from dead biological corpses" and "the possibility of deducing genetic information from denatured and inactivated proteins" even became a new research field for a time.

The great knights who are now in charge of the temple also relied on this to get started when they were young.

Naturally, those "remains of past creatures" that Yawgmoth did not collect were also looted by the scientific knights in the subsequent time. After all, in that era, this would be the only complex organic matter that many apprentices could obtain cheaply - except for what the baseline people brought with them.

In short, this place has probably been raided several times.

Even the products of oxidation and decay were carefully scraped off by early treasure hunters.

In fact, if hot-dip is studied carefully, it should not be difficult to find traces of looting. This little guy doesn't even know how to deduce what happened at the scene based on traces - but for modern knights, "scene restoration" is a basic advanced skill that must be mastered if you want to become a hero.

However, in the final analysis, that was only when the Human Gene Bank Protection Arms and Scientific Research Knights were first established. In this era, the Scientific Research Knights have already created many new species, and some surviving species with strong enough vitality and reproductive capabilities can be planted on a large scale in artificial environments.

In the early years, Yang Pingtie knew that he would often deal with such history enthusiasts, and he also specialized in studying the historical data passed down by the Six Dragons Sect. But he soon discovered that getting along with these history buffs would be out of place if they knew too much.

The quality of the historical documents preserved by the Six Dragons Sect is very high.

For those who drive well, it is “too high”.

Yang Pingtie did not comment on the "research" of hot-dip plating. He continued to ask about the "party", hoping to get some more information.

But I don’t know if it’s just because I’m “sensitive to this matter.” Hot-dip actually makes fun of some issues.

More than ten minutes passed. In addition to listening to Hot Plate's tens of thousands of words of nonsense, Yang Pingtie only knew that "it seems that some knights and detectives discovered that the Martial Gods will jointly organize offline activities."

At this moment, Kaserpon sent a signal.

"Boss, there are others here. Thirteen in total. At least six of them are knights. Over."

--Um? Are there any knights? Apart from the Six Dragons Sect like him, are there other people who are too busy?

"Are you sure there are at least six knights? Over."

"No, there is a master. The master you said noticed us forty minutes ago. Over."

--ah?

This exploration revealed that the credibility or academic level of the Martial God Society is so strong?

…………………………………………

After entering the residential area, Youki asked the others to wait for a moment, then walked to the remains of a small villa on the outermost side and punched the wall.

The strength requirements for building materials for this kind of two- and three-story small houses are much lower than those of high-rise buildings. The cement here also doesn’t use cutting-edge technology. Building materials have long exceeded their design life, and due to lack of maintenance, some buildings cannot even bear their own weight.

Yuki punched down and half the wall collapsed.

"It only has the effect of blocking vision, it cannot be used as a cover..." Youki nodded.

After following Xiangshan to fight in various places for so many years, Yuki has become very familiar with the ability of various junk materials to intercept warriors and bullets, and knows the strength of various modern garbage.

But he really had no idea about this kind of ancient ruins.

Youki did this to three buildings in a row and confirmed that the building materials of these semi-collapsed ruins were basically the same. He even fired a few shots from a weapon with a silencer.

A small-caliber firearm by human standards can at least penetrate a wall, and will probably only lose a small amount of speed in the process.

This behavior naturally attracted a lot of shouting from the Exploration and Discovery Martial God Society. They felt that this kind of destruction of relics was suspected of "burning harps and boiling cranes."

The other knights did not question this behavior.

In order to ensure a retreat, the knights even divided their forces this time, leaving a few people to set up temporary firepower points outside the high-end residential area to ensure a retreat.

The group continued walking into the residential area. Zhao Zhengzhen quickly approached Youki and handed over a data cable for direct connection. After Yuki was inserted into the wrist interface, Zhao Zhengzhen directly conveyed the message: "Yuki, it's not good. I found a target suspected of being a member of the Six Dragons Cult from the picture sent back by the drone. It's the one you marked before. One of several.”

"sure?"

Yuki was shocked.

He really didn't expect that the Six Dragons Sect actually came here to explore and discover the Martial Gods Association's event.

Is it so accurate to just say it casually?

These seemingly unreliable history enthusiasts actually have some research materials that the Six Dragon Sect covets?

This is too ridiculous!

"Let's make an idea now. Let's take a detour, or..."

Zhao Zhengzhen made a shooting gesture.

——Why didn’t I see that you love gesturing so much? Wouldn't it be safer to say it directly in the wired communication?

Perhaps it was because he had been with the Picosi sect for a long time, or perhaps because his master Xiangshan was also a person of this style, so Yuki's first thought was this.

However, Yuki did not doubt Zhao Zhengzhen's intelligence. Although these former scientific knight apprentices are very unreliable in combat, they are not unreliable in things that require concentration, such as collecting and analyzing intelligence.

He made up his mind.

"No matter what the Six Dragons Sect wants to do, we can't let it happen. Let's just pretend we don't know anything and take action as soon as we get close to the best attack range or advantageous position!"

Happy holidays everyone
