Chapter 1530: Finally Came Into Use

In his deep sleep, Wang Peng opened his eyes abruptly, and what caught his eyes was a familiar figure.

“What about the mother and her daughter?”

He tried to sit up from the bed, but in the end, he lay back down in failure.

“They are very safe. They are already under the protection of the Security Bureau, and they are not mother and daughter. The older one is a robot.”

“Robot?”

“Yeah.” Lu Zhou nodded. He looked at Wang Peng with a stunned expression. “I didn’t see it at first sight, but she really is.”

“Anyway, as long as they’re fine…”

Feeling relieved, Wang Peng’s shoulders were relaxed, and the tight expression on his face dissipated a bit.

“I didn’t think you were a nosy person. It seems that I was mistaken, but you didn’t have a better choice in that situation. I did not expect to see you in this way.”

Looking at the bandage on his body, Wang Peng said with a wry smile, “I didn’t expect this either.”

“Then are we even? Although it was a hundred years ago.” Lu Zhou said, putting the handbag on the bedside table, “This is to show my condolence. I don’t have many friends in this era, so for my sake, stop doing such dangerous things next time.”

Wang Peng smiled and did not speak.

How could I not intervene?

However, Lu Zhou didn’t blame him much. He just pulled a chair from the side and moved to the bed to sit down.

Looking at his partner lying on the hospital bed, he spoke.

“Then, now that you have done something this dangerous, tell me what happened earlier.”

Wang Peng: “I saw four men in black who obviously didn’t look like good people. They followed two unarmed women, one old and one young, into the supermarket. Out of fear, I followed them, and I happened to see one of them take out a weapon…”

Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows.

“And it was a robot?”

Wang Peng nodded. “Yes… When did you start to act as a policeman? Are you a part-time policeman?”

Lu Zhou: “No, I’m just curious. Someone will ask you these questions in a bit. I’m just asking them in advance.”

“Who—”

Halfway through his sentence, Wang Peng’s gaze landed on the door.

An acquaintance raised his right hand and greeted him briefly.

“I just came back from Ceres the other day. When you called me, I happened to be on the transport ship… Why did you graduate so soon?”

Wang Peng: “It’s a long story…”

“Well, since it’s a long story, don’t talk about it.” Lu Zhou continued, raising his hand to interrupt Wang Peng, “Although this matter has nothing to do with me, the danger of the ALPHA virus has exceeded my expectation… No one can stand aside in this kind of disaster, so I am now also tracing the origin of this virus.”

There was another reason Lu Zhou did not say, that was, he always felt that this “virus” might become the key to level 10 in information science.

Although he had an ulterior motive, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

As a scholar, he was very interested in any problems that appeared in front of him.

Without understanding what Lu Zhou was saying, Wang Peng was slightly stunned. He frowned and spoke.

“ALPHA virus?”

“Yes, you didn’t hear this at the training base, but we have been investigating this matter for a long time… Especially because it has something to do with the foundation.”

It took about half an hour for Captain Xing to start from the beginning and explain the clues about the ALPHA virus and The Spirit of the Universe Foundation to Wang Peng, the newly recruited agent.

Including the underlying logic that robots would never harm humans, including the dangerous features of ALPHA virus that could transform robots into criminal tools, etc…

“For the next few days, you can focus on healing your injuries first. Although the medicine is advanced, the wounds on your body will take a few weeks to heal. By the way, medical expenses and organ replacement expenses are covered by the Security Bureau. You will be reimbursed, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Organ… replacement cost?”

Seeing that Wang Peng was bewildered, Xing Bian said naturally, “Yes, your lungs inhaled a large amount of explosive dust during the explosion, which caused large-scale necrosis of alveolar cells. A century ago, you would have died soon. But in this era, a bionic lung is enough.”

Wang Peng smiled bitterly and said, “This is… implanted into my body?”

“Sort of.” Xing Bian grinned. He wanted to reach out and pat Wang Peng’s shoulder, but when he saw the bandage on his shoulder, he pulled his hand back again. “Anyway, you should feel at ease and focus on healing first. We have to wait two weeks before being discharged from the hospital.”

Wang Peng’s face was full of weird expressions. He didn’t know what to say for a while.

He had always rejected implants. After all, in the 21st century, implants were only used by disabled people.

He didn’t expect to use them right after leaving the training base…

…

At the same time, a black car was parked outside the courtyard of a single-family house in the suburbs of Jin Ling City.

After pushing the door to get out of the car, Shi Jin and the two agents next to him nodded. They then walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.

“Is anyone in there?”

They pressed the doorbell, but there was no response for a long time.

There was a bad feeling in his heart. Shi Jin frowned, crossed his arms, and gave the two agents next to him a look.

The other two agents understood. One of them took a black card from his arms and swiped it on the door lock.

In less than two seconds, the iron gate slowly opened.

Shi Jin said “hello” to the access control camera at the door. He then made a gesture to signal one of the team members to go to the back door while he and the other team member went towards the front door.

“Is anyone in there?”

There was still no response.

As the ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger, Shi Jin no longer hesitated. He slammed open the front door with his shoulder and aimed his gun at the entrance.

One second later, he was stunned.

Blood…

There is blood everywhere in the living room!

As if it was out of some kind of hatred, the man and the woman were hung naked from the ceiling; their skin was barely intact.

Even though he had gone through many extreme cases, he had never seen such a terrifying scene.

This was no longer a murder…

This was torture…

“Sh*t…”

He lowered the muzzle in his hand and glared at the mess in the living room.

Standing next to him, his teammate gulped hard and spoke in a slightly trembling voice.

“Did a robot… really do this?”

Shi Jin could hear the trembling in the voice, not because of fear, but because of hatred.

It was precisely because of this that he couldn’t answer this question either…

Because a similar emotion also poured out from his heart.

Shi Jin took a deep breath to calm himself down. He then said in a deep voice as he looked at the messy crime scene, “Block the scene… Notify the police. From now on, this case… including the crime scene, will be taken over by the Security Bureau.”

The agent nodded vigorously.

“Okay.”

If the murderer was not brought to justice, then from tonight, none of the citizens of the Pan-Asian Cooperation would be able to sleep peacefully…

Shi Jin looked at the messy living room. He took a deep breath, took out a pair of glasses with a camera function, and put it on the bridge of his nose.

However, the moment he activated his glasses and prepared to take photos for evidence, an AR envelope appeared between the two corpses.

Slightly stunned, he stepped forward and touched the letter with his hand.

With the touch of his fingertips, the letter opened quickly.

Lines of red words, as if written in blood, appeared before his eyes.

[You can think of this as a warning.

[Our request is very simple. Give us that robot… Give us our people back.

[Otherwise, we will spend our entire life chasing and killing the girl, killing her in the same way, then killing more people.]

A flame burned in Shi Jin’s chest.

“F*ck!”

These dehumanized animals!

I swear, I will bring them all to justice!
