"Relax," Lin Xiao said, rushing over. With just a glance, he could tell everyone was in a near-death state. If he had been any slower, their simulated deaths might have become real.
He quickly adjusted everyone's necks and infused them with a breath of true energy, thus saving their lives.
While he and the Net Doctor were dealing with the situation here, Old Xu pointed towards the large entrance not far away, "Over there! Old Huang is there, he's almost finished!"
"Alright."
After Lin Xiao had also rescued Old Huang, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everyone was safe.
Lin Xiao looked at the chip in his hand, frowning. This batch of androids was more formidable and refined than the previous ones. The earlier ones were merely modified humans, requiring human bodies as hosts. However, these were purely manufactured androids. This concept of pure androids sparked a grim thought in his mind. He would need to extract data from this chip to confirm this notion.
It was at this moment that Old Huang finally regained consciousness. As soon as he opened his eyes, he grabbed Old Xu, "Where are the captains? Someone! Someone broke in!"
"It's handled," Lin Xiao said.
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Old Huang turned to look at him and quickly asked, "Director Lin handled it?"
"Yes," Lin Xiao replied. "All of you should go back and rest. I'll have others take over your duties here. Focus on recovering your health first." Although he had saved them all, they would need at least a hundred days of recuperation for their injuries. Moreover, the current situation was not something ordinary individuals could easily manage. He needed to call for reinforcements.
"Ye Chen, how is the situation in Beijiang?" Lin Xiao contacted Ye Chen immediately. If the Net Doctor was his capable assistant in Beijiang, then Ye Chen, who had always stayed by his side, was his second-in-command, holding immense authority. His strength was such that he could be ranked on the Earthly Rankings.
"Beijiang is safe and sound."
"Come to Shashi. You alone are sufficient."
"Understood."
The conversation was brief. Ye Chen hung up the phone and was already on his way. If Lin Xiao needed him, he would go without hesitation. He also understood that if Lin Xiao needed his intervention, it meant Brother Xiao had more important matters to attend to. It was highly likely that the Net Doctor would be working alongside Brother Xiao, leaving him as the suitable person to guard them.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiao summoned Zhu Guangyu and handed him the chip.
"Crack this. See what's inside its memory." Lin Xiao was curious because this palm-sized chip was the android's central unit. He had examined it earlier and found no other component that could function as a CPU.
"Alright." Zhu Guangyu took the chip and looked at the fragmented pieces of the android on the ground. His eyelids twitched. He had seen these before. He had almost been killed by one when they encountered it in Beijiang last time.
"Also, investigate how this happened. Why were these things allowed into Longguo? These things are not easy to get past." Lin Xiao pointed at the android on the ground. How did such a thing manage to pass Longguo's security checks? Or was it assembled within Longguo?
