Chapter 61

As the accident happened very suddenly, the signals around the building were not shielded in time, and the terrorists were able to use the detonator to remotely control the booby-trap bomb to explode prematurely. 

Their purpose was obviously not just to create riots, but more importantly to demonstrate to the government. The rescue workers became the biggest sacrifices.

Although the remaining bombs cannot affect a wide area, they are enough to destroy the structure of the entire building. 

The advantage of Fei Xiu is that he is at the center of the bomb. Once the bomb explodes, he will be the first to be sacrificed.

A cold light flashed in Yuan Chu's eyes, and he quickly activated his power, blocking the signal within a radius of 30 meters while trying not to violate the rules of the world.

On the other side, the terrorist hiding in the dark pressed the button and counted down at the same time: "3, 2, 1... Bang!"

However, nothing happened.

The terrorist's face changed and he checked carefully, only to find that the detonator could not receive any signal.

"Impossible!" There was a signal just a second ago, their movements couldn't be so fast.

The terrorist kept trying to connect the signal, with madness and anger flashing in his eyes.

The light in Yuan Chu's eyes gradually turned from blue to red, and a warning of danger immediately came to his mind. 

It was the pressure from the Heavenly Dao.

She can only hold on for 32 seconds at most. If she exceeds this time, she will be captured by Tiandao. 

However, it will take at least 51 seconds for all the bombs to be dismantled.

Yuan Chu looked at Fei Xiu who was concentrating, and called out, "Fei Xiu."

"What?" Fei Xiu didn't even raise his head.

"Someone is trying to detonate a bomb."

"What?" Fei Xiu looked up suddenly.

"I have blocked the surrounding signals, but only for 20 seconds." Yuan Chu's voice was very calm.

Fei Xiu didn't bother to figure out how she blocked the signal, and directly asked the most crucial question: "Do you know the location of that person?" 

Yuan Chu had sent him the location before he asked.

Fei Xiu took a quick look, then jumped up and disappeared on the spot, leaving only one sentence: "Wait for me to come back."

The distant voice was gone with the wind. Fei Xiu exerted his speed to the extreme, stepped on the flying vehicle in the air, and made a few leaps, shooting towards the crowd outside the cordon.

Everyone felt a flash before their eyes and couldn't even see Fei Xiu's shadow.

15 seconds.

Fei Xiu counted silently in his mind and increased his speed again.

Cross the street.

12 seconds.

Get past the crowd.

10 seconds.

Drill into the alley.

8 seconds.

Rushing into a building.

6 seconds.

Walk up five flights of stairs.

3 seconds!

With a bang, he kicked the door open.

The target's figure appeared before him.

2 seconds!

"Who?" The terrorist raised his head alertly, only to see a dark shadow.

He drew his sword and chopped down, knocking the man unconscious, and snatched the detonator from his hand.

1 second!

"Huh..." Fei Xiu panted a few times. 

Without bothering to deal with the terrorist, he turned around and walked away, rushing quickly towards the accident building.

The detonator was delayed by 20 seconds. It would take at least 25 seconds to return, leaving only a few dozen seconds to dismantle the bomb.

Fei Xiu's feet were like the wind, and he flew past like a swordfish.

The continuous extreme exercise caused his brain to ache, and the hidden wounds left on the battlefield continued to torture his nerves.

If there were no injuries, this level of consumption would not be a concern at all. But he himself did not realize that his mental control had reached its peak. 

Not a single bit was wasted, and his efficiency was higher than before he was injured.

Fei Xiu rushed to the front of the building and was about to use the aircraft to return to his previous floor, but was stopped by the commander.

"All rescue workers, evacuate immediately!"

What? Evacuate? Aren’t there still a few dozen seconds?

Flying vehicles carrying rescue workers quickly dispersed in all directions, and Fei Xiu was also forcibly pulled away by several people.

Wait, what about the original? Are you still in the building?

Fei Xiu opened his personal terminal and called Yuan Chu hurriedly.

[Master...] The original clear mechanical voice came from the terminal.

"Chuchu, where are you now!"

【I'm still in the building. 】

"Come out quickly, the bomb is about to explode!" Fei Xiu shouted amid the noise.

Although Fei Xiu got the detonator, the bombs had an initial setting and would explode at a predetermined time. 

There are still a few bombs left to be dismantled, right on the same floors where the original bombs were located.

【Sorry, I'm afraid it's too late.] 】

"There are rescuers up there, I'll ask them to take you out."

[No need, I'm just..."

Fei Xiu found the commander and Cruz and asked them to help bring his robot out.

[…A robot.] 】

Cruz refused decisively: "There is no time now. I must be responsible for the lives of my soldiers and cannot let them take risks for a robot."

"If it weren't for her, none of you would survive!" Fei Xiu roared.

Cruz didn't know what he was talking about, he just felt that he was being unreasonable.

"Calm down, Colonel Fei Xiu!" the commander tried to comfort him.

Time was running out, Fei Xiu ignored them, turned around and rushed towards the aircraft not far away, pulled the pilot down, and sat in the driver's seat.

"Stop him!" Cruz yelled.

"Let go!" Fei Xiu tried to break free from the soldiers who were holding him.

[Master...] At this time, the original voice came from the terminal, [I'll wait for you to pick me up again. 】

This sentence ended with a loud bang.

"Original!" Fei Xiu's eyes were red as he looked at the smoke and dust exploding in the air with grief, as if a piece of his heart was cut off.

Others didn't understand why he reacted so emotionally. It was just a robot. 

The worst that could happen was that the government would have to compensate him. 

With his officer rank, it would be a very simple matter for him to apply for a high-level intelligent robot again.

Yuan Chu didn't feel any pain, just like an outsider watching his body fall into pieces.

Just now, she had retracted her breath in time and narrowly avoided Tiandao's search. She didn't dare to use any more power. 

She could only try her best to ensure that the core chip was not destroyed. This was the foundation of her existence in this world. 

As long as the chip was still there, she could continue to stay in this world.

Looking at the ruins around him, Yuan Chu waited quietly.

She knew that her destined son would come back to find her.

Sure enough, ten minutes after the explosion, a familiar figure appeared on the floor, wandering around, searching through the mess with his bare hands.

"Yuan Chu! Are you there?" Fei Xiu seemed to be unaware of the pain and allowed the sharp fragments to scratch his fingers.

Yuan Chu heard his call but could not respond. 

She was unable to condense into a physical form at this moment and could only stare at him silently in the void.

Fei Xiu picked up the parts belonging to No. 1 one by one and put them together. 

The shell of the first unit was made of very strong material, but the joints could not withstand the impact of the explosion and were blown to pieces.

This is not the point. The point is that the chip is very small and it is very difficult to find it when it falls into a pile of explosives. 

It is also possible that it will be blown far away due to the impact force of the explosion.

Fei Xiu was not only worried about not being able to find the chip, but also worried that the chip had been damaged.

To him, No. 1 is his robot, his mentor, and his lover.

Because of the man-machine war a hundred years ago, humans are generally wary of intelligent robots, and even try their best to suppress their intellectual growth, but he is kinder and more knowledgeable than any other human.

She was destroyed at birth, but she never hurt anyone and never resented anyone.

In Fei Xiu's eyes, she is a "person" and should be respected as a "person".

Fei Xiu cherishes her and loves her, and will never let her be discarded like an insignificant machine or a tool.

"Yuan Chu, please don't get into trouble."

Fei Xiu endured the mental and physical pain and searched carefully and quickly.

"Colonel Fei Xiu, what are you looking for?" a soldier in charge of the aftermath asked in confusion.

"A chip, a chip of a robot."

"Let me help you find it? Commander Cruz asked you to go."

Fei Xiu ignored his words and continued what he was doing.

The soldier helplessly reported the situation to his superior.

Cruz laughed in anger: "What a fool! Keep an eye on him and don't let him do anything unnecessary."

"Yes, sir." The soldier hesitated for a moment, but still ran over to help. 

He knew that Fei Xiu was the first to discover the bomb in the building, and he also participated in the operation to dismantle the bomb. 

He was a hero worthy of respect.

Where is the chip?

The more Fei Xiu searched, the heavier his mood became.

A suppressed emotion gathered in his heart, almost drowning him.

Fei Xiu...

Fei Xiu looked up suddenly, as if he heard a familiar call.

Fei Xiu…was like a feather brushing past my ear.

Fei Xiu turned around slowly, and in the dim light, he saw a transparent figure standing beside the broken wall. 

The setting sun penetrated her body and blended her into the light.

One arm was raised slightly, pointing to a corner.

When I blinked again, she was gone again.

Fei Xiu did not hesitate, he strode to where the fingers were and lifted up the broken pieces on the ground.

In the dust, a crystal chip appeared before his eyes, gleaming.

He picked it up as if it were a treasure and held it carefully in his palm.

"Found it..."

Yuan Chu stood quietly beside him with a smile in his eyes.

Dear owner, congratulations, you have successfully picked up a smart chip.
