Chapter 19 The Upside-Down Island, The Shadow's Attack
Haoxiao finally opened his eyes naturally. This time, no one disturbed him, and he didn't even have nightmares. He slept very easily and felt much better.
"Are you awake?" Jack was driving beside him. It was already noon, and the sun was shining right on Hao Xiao's face. The dazzling sunlight did not erase Hao Xiao's sense of joy.
"Yeah, it's just that the sun is a bit dazzling..."
"Here, my sunglasses." Jack handed the sunglasses to Hao Xiao.
"Thank you." Hao Xiao took the sunglasses, but Jack looked at Hao Xiao in surprise.
"I went, but I didn't expect you to say thank you to me, and it was because of a small thing!"
"I won't turn into such a lunatic, okay..." Hao Xiao put on his sunglasses and asked.
"Where's Angela?"
"I'm here."
Haoxiao turned to look behind the car, where Angela was smiling and waving to him.
"As long as you're here, if I lose you, I might be charged a lot of money... Also, thank you."
"It's okay, then, Mr. Haoxiao, are we friends now?"
Hao Xiao didn't say anything more, but instead straightened his suit.
"Angela, Haoxiao is very arrogant, don't ask him this question so directly." Jack said with a smile.
"Can you please concentrate on driving? If you don't want to drive, just come here and sit down. I'll drive this damn car!"
"Look, look, it's urgent, it's urgent."
Jack played with Hao Xiao, and Hao Xiao only acted a little angry, but he felt much more relaxed and his expression became more natural.
"Recording, Haoxiao, tsundere attribute."
"Hey! Don't write that down!"
...
The glass outside the car gradually became frosty, and the road gradually disappeared from the mud and dryness, leaving only stiff asphalt roads and dead trees.
"We're in the south, Jack, have you brought any clothes?"
"It's okay, I'm someone who has stayed in a place like the Arctic, and I'm not afraid of the cold at all." Jack replied.
"Where's Angela?"
"I've never felt cold, so I don't know what cold means." Angela replied.
"Asking you is like asking in vain."
This time, Haoxiao was driving, and Jack and Angela were enjoying lunch, although it was just some fast food.
"Angela, do androids also need to eat? Don't they drink gasoline and batteries?"
"I understand what you are saying, Mr. Haoxiao, you are satirizing the library's works, but I am happy to answer this question for you."
Angela put down the cake in her hand and began to explain to Haoxiao seriously.
It turns out that there are many types of bionic people - fully intelligent and semi-intelligent.
Semi-intelligent humans can only obtain power through other means, such as electricity, spell energy drive, or Origin Stone drive. Generally, these bionic humans are made entirely of machinery, with metal skeletons and humanoid appearance.
But Angela is a special bionic person. Her flesh and blood are all real, her senses are highly similar to humans, and she has independent thinking logic, which makes her more like a human. Of course, she also needs to eat in the same way as humans.
, Generally, androids of this kind are used for espionage work, infiltration work, and surveillance work.
"I understand, so is there any way I can tell the difference between androids and humans?"
"No comment at the moment."
"Business secret huh?"
Haoxiao smiled, but he already knew how to distinguish between androids and humans - the numbers on their bodies.
Civilian-grade ones will have numbers printed on their arms, faces, or other parts. These numbers will emit a different magnetic field than humans.
Naturally, a type like Angela would not reveal her identity as a bionic person, so the second point of discovery is that bionic people like her have no smell...
"There is a C-level anomaly ahead, please pay attention."
"What?" Before Hao Xiao could react, the EMP mine suddenly exploded below them, and the vehicle shook violently and stalled.
"Jack! Are you okay?" Haoxiao had already taken out his weapon, and Jack nodded in response.
"Angela?"
Angela sipped the tea calmly and said softly to Hao Xiao.
"I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere."
"Well, you'd better not come out through this door."
Haoxiao rushed out of the car and fell to the ground. Then he rolled to the left and hid behind a dead tree nearby.
"Did the guy who ambush here earlier, Jack, find them?"
"I don't know, the terrain here is quite complicated..."
Haoxiao looked around and saw that there was indeed something strange here. The cold gas was not blowing towards them, but floating upwards...
Gradually, mist appeared from below them, and the terrain became chaotic.
The tree next to Hao Xiao suddenly shook. Hao Xiao saw this and avoided the tree.
I saw the tree being uprooted and flying upwards, and then, above, there was a huge empty island.
"What the hell..." Before Hao Xiao could react, a huge black spike stabbed fiercely from above.
"Grass!"
In desperation, Haoxiao quickly rolled to the side and escaped the fatal blow.
But the spikes stuck in the ground suddenly made a sound and began to glow.
Upon seeing this, Haoxiao stood up hurriedly, trying to get out of the explosion range of the bomb.
There was a loud boom, and a crater was blown up at the location just now, and Haoxiao was covered in dirt.
"Haoxiao!!!"
"Jack!"
Haoxiao heard Jack's cry and quickly ran in Jack's direction. When he arrived, he found that Jack had already been knocked unconscious, and standing in front of him was a dark figure.
"Pitch black...are you here?"
"This way of saying hello is so polite. I should applaud you, right?"
Haoxiao pulled out his pistol and fired rapidly at the shadow, but the shadow suddenly dissipated and dodged the bullet.
"Here!"
Hao Xiao transformed his pistol into a machete and slashed back hard, but the black figure stepped forward and blocked Hao Xiao's attack with his right arm. Then he twisted his backhand, causing Hao Xiao's weapon to fall on the ground.
On the ground, he then exerted force backwards and knocked down Hao Xiao with an elbow.
"It's your uncle's fault."
Haoxiao shook his head, staggered to his feet, and was met by a black shadow's chin kick.
This time he dodged the attack, grabbed the black figure's thigh, stepped forward, lifted his right foot to his left leg, and threw him to the ground. Then he took out the dagger from his pocket and stabbed it directly.
On the man's chest.
"Jiu Jitsu, that's it?"
Then Haoxiao raised his leg and directly kicked the dagger deeper into the flesh...
The black shadow fell to the ground, and then his body gradually dissipated, leaving only the dagger.
