Mech Fate of Rebirth

The surroundings were filled with people's screams, the entire building was shaking violently, and many fine dusts kept falling from their heads. In the corridor, panicked people pushed and ran to the other end of the section.

Chen Qiming accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar face in the crowd. Anna, who was working with him in the same workshop, was pushed to the ground, and no one ignored her plea for help. The helpless Anna was like a frightened animal. curled up in a corner.

Chen Qiming frowned, grabbed Lauren who was still walking forward, and asked, "What's going on?" He just took a nap in the workshop, but when he woke up, it seemed like the end of the world ...

Lauren didn't speak, but pointed to the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the corridor, motioning him to see for himself.

Chen Qiming looked down at the devastated streets below, thick smoke billowed everywhere, and from time to time, something in the sky hit the streets, emitting raging flames.The ground traffic in the entire B area has collapsed, and the high-altitude road in the air is not much better.

The air strikes entered the ship from the outside, and the missiles would definitely pass over the ship. Unfortunately, the car that was just in front of their eyes was hit by the missile, fell straight to the ground, and exploded.

In the next second, all broadcasts distributed in the area sounded.

"Now broadcast an urgent notice, because the ship was attacked by fighter planes, please go to the safe area immediately. Repeat, because the ship was attacked by fighter jets, please go to the safe area immediately——

The mechanical female voice broadcast mixed with the air defense sirens resounding throughout the area, is constantly stimulating people's fragile nerves.

The scene was completely chaotic. In the corridor, everyone was running around. The elevators were crowded with people. The people behind wanted to squeeze in, but they were pushed out by the people inside.

Seeing this posture, Chen Qiming didn't think too much, and pulled Lauren towards the other side of the stairs. Compared with the elevator side, there were much fewer people here.

Chen Qiming dragged Lauren down the stairs in a hurry. When they came to a section, Lauren was too tired to speak. He barely followed behind Chen Qiming, but as everyone in the section frantically Flocking to the gate, the flow of people rushed away from him and Chen Qiming in an instant.

Toby saw Chen Qiming's figure in the crowd, and he squeezed to Chen Qiming's side with difficulty, a trace of panic appeared on his usually simple and honest face: "Senior, the sound wave of the explosion just now caused signal damage, and the automatic control system on the door failed Now, everyone can't get out!"

Lauren, who squeezed back to Chen Qiming's side again, had an ugly expression on hearing the news: "If the automatic control system fails, we can only open the door by activating the manual device!"

But the manual device was installed in the control room, and they finally got here, and the way out was in front of them, so he didn't want to go back!

Chen Qiming looked around, turned around and whispered to Lauren, "Follow me to the control room."

Lauren hurriedly refused: "Ming, you are crazy! I won't go!"

Chen Qiming smiled instead of anger: "Are you sure?"

Lauren nodded firmly to express her position, and Chen Qiming immediately showed a distressed look.

"It's a pity. I originally wanted to hide the truth from the black-faced god, saying that you were not the one who made his daughter cry at the company banquet that day."

Lauren immediately took back the foot he just stepped out, and he turned around with a sincere smile: "Don't you want to go to the control room? Let's go!"

Chen Qiming nodded in satisfaction, and led Lauren all the way to the door of a control room on the back side of the section. Due to the explosion, the company's automatic control system failed. When the alarm at the door sounded for the fifth time, Chen Qiming finally Unbearable, he smashed the poor recognizer with a punch.

"Stand back!"

Lauren hurried to the other side of the door, Chen Qiming stood still for a few seconds, then turned around and kicked, the door of the control room was kicked into a huge dent by him abruptly, Lauren opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

What a joke!This is a high-density anti-shock door!Chen Qiming kicked the door like this with just his feet?What kind of monster is he? !

Chen Qiming stepped back and tried to mend his feet again. Finally, there was a small gap in the door of the control room. He squatted down and tried to widen the gap with his hands.

When the door of the control room was opened, there was no one there, and some instruments flashed frightening sparks from time to time. Chen Qiming walked up to a striking red wrench as if he hadn't seen it. With the dim light, he asked Lauren to give it to him. Got a pair of insulating gloves.

Lauren stopped Chen Qiming and said, "Ming, if this thing breaks down, the voltage inside will be enough to kill you instantly. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Chen Qiming thought it made sense. He nodded in agreement, returned the gloves to Lauren, and said with a smile, "In this case, you should come here. I didn't expect you to be so worried about me. I'm really touched!"

The corners of Lauren's eyes twitched, and he hurriedly stepped back, and changed his words: "Actually, this is not that dangerous, it's just in case, don't worry, if you have anything, I'm still here."

Chen Qiming sneered, thinking, when something really happens, you must be the fastest runner.

"Go to the console and watch. When the alarm bell rings, press the red button over there immediately!" Lauren nodded vigorously. Although it was strange how Chen Qiming, a low-level technician, would know this, but At this juncture, he didn't dare to ask.

Chen Qiming put on his gloves and carefully put his hands on the red wrench. There was no reaction, and he was slightly relieved.At the same time as the red handle was pulled down forcefully, the alarms sounded all around. Lauren hurriedly pressed the red button, and the alarms stopped.

When the two returned to the hall dripping with sweat, the originally crowded hall now only had a few sporadic people who just ran down from the upper section.

The streets are full of people screaming in horror, bomb craters all over the floor, flames all over the sky, and human corpses everywhere. Area B suddenly turned into a hell on earth.

Lauren looked at the scene in front of him, and for a moment, he even suspected that he was dreaming!

The two ran for nearly half an hour, and were almost hit by missiles several times on the way. Finally, they came to the safe zone. A soldier at the door mechanically gave them a military salute and looked at them blankly: "Please show the resident documents."

While scanning the communication list on the optical brain, a 3D full-body photo of Chen Qiming first popped up on the three-dimensional screen, and then all his information was displayed one after another.

The soldier glanced roughly, turned his body slightly, and motioned for Chen Qiming to pass.

Just as Chen Qiming was about to lift his foot, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He turned around and looked at Lauren suspiciously, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Where's yours?"

Lauren pulled up his sleeve with some embarrassment, revealing the poor half of the watch strap, which was precariously dangling on his left arm. He smiled a little reluctantly: "Maybe I ran too fast just now and fell on the road."

Chen Qiming grabbed Lauren, who was about to go back, and asked the soldier, "Can I let my friend in? His residence card has been lost. I can prove that he is a legal resident."

The soldier refused without thinking, "No, according to the rules above, we can't let him pass without a certificate."

The other soldier was obviously not that good at speaking. He looked at Lauren provocatively, put his right hand on his waist, and made a threatening gesture of pulling out his gun: "Why don't you hurry up?"

Seeing the aggressive appearance of the soldiers, Chen Qiming might not be able to get in through the door, so he had to drag Lauren back outside.

Lauren was very indignant at the soldier's attitude just now, and also greeted his mother by the way.The two of them knew very well that the gates of the safe zone would all be closed in five minutes. Once they left, they would never be able to enter again!

However, Chen Qiming has always been very open to such instant facts. Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, all he can do is to find another feasible way. Sitting and waiting for death is not a stupid thing he would do.

Turning on the small optical computer that he carried with him, a three-dimensional image of Yuanhang appeared on the screen. Chen Qiming calmly screened several places that could provide refuge in Area B, and found the most suitable place, which was the first section of the lower floor of their company. There is a warehouse dedicated to storing large business mechs.

There is a lot of space there, and there are enough food supplies. According to their needs, unless the enemy outside paralyzes the ship, the food should be enough for them to eat for a month.

"Looks like we have to go back."

When Lauren remembered the scene before they ran out, she quickly shook her head and said, "That place is so dangerous, if it collapses, we will become a pair of ghost brothers!"

Fuck your ghost brother.Chen Qiming roared in his heart, but what he said was: "Then you just wait here, maybe the people in the military department will find a conscience and take you into the safe zone, but you have to be healthy in both limbs."

Lauren deliberately imitated his missing arms and legs, and shivered all over his body.He didn't want to spend the rest of his life in a hospital bed. He still had so much money to make, so many beauties to spend, and so many curses that he didn't have time to tell the black-faced god, how could he die like this!It's not worth it to think about it...

Lauren gritted her teeth: "Since you will die wherever you go, hurry up if you are crushed to death, let's go back to the company!"

Chen Qiming put the optical brain in his pocket with satisfaction, and took a shortcut back to the company with Lauren.At this time, the place was already empty, and the surface of the company building was damaged to a certain extent, and building debris continued to fall from the sky.

Since the automatic system was paralyzed, the elevators between the sections could not be started, so Chen Qiming had to take Lauren all the way from the stairway to the section on the lower floor of the company.

But they ignore one most important issue...

Lauren looked at the door that was two heights taller than him, and looked at Chen Qiming helplessly: "Ming, we seem to have forgotten that this door cannot be opened now."

Chen Qiming was not surprised, on the contrary, he nodded naturally: "I know."

"Then why are we coming back?" Could it be that they spent a long time running back just to see the huge white gate?

Chen Qiming showed a sly smile at Lauren, and Lauren shuddered, and instinctively stepped back a few steps: "Ming, you can't be..."

Before Lauren finished speaking, Chen Qiming smiled and put the toolbox he didn't know where he got it in front of Lauren, and patted him on the shoulder earnestly: "I will leave everything to you."

Although Lauren didn't want to, there was only one way in front of him. If he didn't take it, he had to go out and wait for death. He didn't want to do such a loss-making business!You know, his ideal is to earn a lot of money—so much money that he can sleep on it, if he dies here, wouldn't he have to go to the underworld to count the coins?

He will never let this happen!

Thinking of this, Lauren suddenly burst into fighting spirit like a small universe.Within a quarter of an hour, the originally immobile alloy gate began to move slowly to the sides.

Lauren excitedly ran into the warehouse with Chen Qiming. When he saw the surroundings clearly, he almost couldn't close his mouth in shock.

There are many large compartments on both sides of the warehouse, and each compartment houses a shiny business mecha.

"God, if I didn't know that we are in the company now, I would have thought I was in the mecha unit of the military!"

Chen Qiming said casually: "The mecha warehouse of the military department is much larger than here."

Lauren ran to the side, carefully looked at the four-story mech in front of him, and asked in surprise, "How do you know how big the mecha warehouse of the military department is?"

Chen Qiming realized that he had accidentally said something he shouldn't have said, rolled his eyes, and rolled his eyes at Lauren: "You should know where the military headquarters is."

Although Lauren was strange, he didn't get too entangled. He walked to the back of the mecha, looked at the weapons equipped on the back, and shook his head regretfully: "Although our technicians deal with the parts of the mecha every day, I most want to The research is still these advanced weapons!"

Chen Qiming shrugged nonchalantly: "Unless you want to be sent to prison." He didn't say this to scare Lauren.

As the main weapon and means of transportation in the universe, mechas are generally divided into three categories: combat mechas for the military, commercial mechas for civilian use, and civilian combat mechas.Among them, the control of military combat mechas is in the hands of the United Nations. Although commercial mechas are also in the hands of the government, they are mostly used for cargo transportation between domestic companies in the alliance, and civilian combat mechas are mostly in the hands of some private organizations. It can be used in A-level competitions and military academies directly under the military department.

3000 years ago in the universe, the first batch of commercial mechs that had just been put into use were not allowed to carry weapons.However, on the transportation route of the goods, interstellar thieves often appear in areas where turbulence is frequent on some third-level planets. They looted all the goods, causing heavy losses to many large companies, and the economy of the Alliance countries was severely hit.

Until 3025 in the universe, the United Nations officially promulgated regulations to allow the commercial mechas used by companies to be equipped with basic self-defense weapons. The United Nations also has clear regulations on the right to use weapons, except for large mecha companies authorized by the military and the government. , Others who privately use commercial mechs or weapons without the approval of their superiors can be judged as engaging in non-governmental organization activities, and in serious cases they can be sentenced to life.

Therefore, Lauren's idea of ​​researching weapons on commercial mechs, unless he is a super technician, this can only be a good wish.

Chen Qiming looked up at the mechas standing quietly at the side. In his eyes, those mechas composed of cold machines each had their own thoughts, as if they had their own souls. It sounds ridiculous.

"Huh? What's this?" Lauren leaned into the back of the mecha, and found a slightly protruding place: "There seems to be a switch here that can be pressed!"

When Chen Qiming heard something bad, he immediately stopped and said, "Don't press it! That's—"

But before he could say anything, he heard a muffled sound, and the mecha, which had been standing still at the side, seemed to come alive, and the eyes on its head lit up with a silvery white light.

Chen Qiming supported his forehead with a headache and said, "That's the emergency brake button of the mecha!"

Lauren looked at the mecha activated by him in a panic, and suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked Chen Qiming, who was beside him with a dark face: "Ming, how do you turn off this thing?"

"The emergency brake button of the mecha can only be activated when the machine body suddenly stops functioning. Once the program is activated, the system will keep the mecha running until its fuel is exhausted. According to the current situation of this mecha, I guess it will wait for it to stop. It will take another year to run out of fuel here."

Lauren rolled her eyes: "Of course I know what an emergency braking system is. I'm asking how to turn it off?"

"Since you know the emergency braking system, you should also know that it can't be turned off!" Chen Qiming's face became more and more ugly.

Although commercial mechas are the only mechas that the government allows civilians to use, for safety reasons, each mecha will be equipped with a special sensor device, which can be directly connected to the core host of the military department, so that it will be convenient for the military department to identify them. to monitor.

Chen Qiming said helplessly: "It's gone, pack up your things and prepare to run."

Lauren didn't react: "Run away?"

Chen Qiming didn't intend to continue chatting with Lauren, so he went to the locker to get some food. When he came back and saw Lauren standing there, he finally couldn't help but asked, "Why are you still standing there?"

Lauren scratched her head a little discouraged and said: "It's good that the military department comes, at least we can enter the safe zone! But in such an extraordinary period like now, how can the military department take care of our affairs? I'm afraid they are all busy. Open a battle meeting..."

Are you an idiot like you when you are in the military?

Chen Qiming was so angry at Lauren that he almost vomited blood. He really didn't want to destroy Lauren's beautiful fantasy at this time, but after all, he didn't want to have anything to do with the military in his life, so he had to deliberately scare Lauren: "You are in such a sensitive situation. During the period, the mechs were activated, what if we are suspected of being spies by the people in the military department?"

"Besides, do you know how terrifying the Union Prison is? Being held in a place full of star thieves and murderers, facing these people every day, eating, sleeping, bathing, and..." Chen Qiming said When I ran out of words in the middle, I stopped and thought carefully about what else I didn't say, but before he finished speaking, Lauren was so wronged that he was about to cry.

He looked at Chen Qiming timidly: "Do you think I will spend the rest of my life in prison?"

Chen Qiming showed a sinister smile: "The crime of espionage is the death penalty."

Lauren grabbed Chen Qiming: "Then why are we standing still? Why don't we run away!"

Just as Chen Qiming was about to speak, a shrill siren sounded above their heads, and the surrounding lights went out one by one, leaving only the flashing bright red light of the siren.
