Lin Xue, judging by the sound, had not been disturbed.
What was the robot by the wall downstairs doing?
"Master, what's wrong?"
Lin Xue heard Lu Heng speak to her twice, then fall silent, and couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing. Do you have any special feelings, like last time when I took you to the wilderness, that feeling you sensed?"
These alien creatures and the items they manufactured had a certain attraction to the zombies in the apocalypse.
"No."
In the room, Lin Xue sat up straight, holding her paintbrush. After sensing for a while, she replied to Lu Heng.
"Then continue with your work. If there are any unusual situations, you must inform me."
"Yes, Master."
While communicating with Lin Xue telepathically, Lu Heng kept his eyes fixed on the robot in front of him.
It showed no reaction throughout, just like the robot lying on the ground with its power cut off.
These two were both nanny-type robots.
Their appearances were almost identical.
After Lu Heng brought the robots back, he painted them with different colored pigments to distinguish them.
However, Lu Heng had just checked, and the pigment on the robot on the ground had not changed.
"Iron Man One, what are you doing here?"
Lu Heng stood still, maintaining a certain distance from the robot.
However, the expected response from the robot did not come.
As expected, this robot had a problem.
Lu Heng controlled vines to quickly bind the robot, then yanked it to face him.
What?
Why was the color of this robot the same as the one on the ground?
Moreover, the robot, which should have been in an activated state, now had its eyes closed.
Lu Heng quickly walked up to the robot and reached out to touch its chest.
Indeed, its chest was also closed.
After carefully inspecting the robot's body again, Lu Heng discovered that the skin behind the robot's head had also been lifted.
Both of them were in a closed state, and both had their heads exposed.
The only robot still moving in the space now was the combat-type one.
Lu Heng's heart tightened, and a fear he hadn't felt in a long time surfaced in his mind.
Lu Heng then transferred this robot into the game's world space.
At the same time, he issued commands to all his contracted animals telepathically.
"All those on the ground, return to the apartment.
If anyone sees that tall robot, report its location to me."
Soon, a pet replied, "Master, it's near the hospital."
"Okay, those of you who can return, hurry back to the apartment building. Those flying in the sky, and those without combat capabilities, also return.
Everyone must be vigilant of the robots. The robots have offensive capabilities."
After issuing the commands, Lu Heng also quickly headed towards the hospital.
To avoid attracting the robot's attention, Lu Heng did not use the alien's aircraft.
He was worried the robot might sense it.
While moving, Lu Heng did not forget to equip himself with another layer of special metal armor.
This thing could still defend against the firepower of alien robots.
Gradually, with the information from the aerial animals, Lu Heng soon spotted the robot not far away.
Lu Heng had set up restrictions in the buildings here, prohibiting all animals other than his own from entering.
This was originally to prevent the animals from entering these rooms and messing up the items inside.
But now, this restriction also helped Lu Heng.
The rooms here also blocked these robots from entering.
Therefore, Lu Heng now saw the robot wandering outside the hospital.
"Iron Man Two, what are you doing here?"
The robot that was called by name instantly stopped.
After a pause of several seconds, the robot did not turn around but answered Lu Heng's question.
"I'm familiarizing myself here."
The robot did not address him as Master as it usually did, which made Lu Heng confirm the robot's abnormality again.
"Is that so?"
Lu Heng gradually approached the robot. "Turn around and talk to me."
The robot obediently turned around, but still hesitated for a few seconds.
Lu Heng swiftly moved to the robot's side and reached out to press its chest.
There was a manual button to shut down the robot.
Lu Heng did not use voice commands, fearing it might not work on this robot and instead alert it.
It was better to be direct; physical intervention was more reliable than electronic programs.
However, this time, Lu Heng did not get to press the robot's chest as he had intended.
He didn't even manage to touch the robot's skin.
The robot quickly retreated the moment Lu Heng moved.
Its body instantly created a distance from Lu Heng.
Lu Heng's lunge missed, almost causing him to stumble and fall.
"Why are you dodging?"
"What are you trying to do?"
The robot responded to Lu Heng, but still without any form of address.
"I want to see if there's anything wrong with your body. The previous two robots are broken."
"They must be old and in disrepair, needing to be sent for repairs."
"Aren't you robots unrepairable? When they break, they should be sent to the scrap yard."
Hearing Lu Heng's words, red light flickered in the robot's eyes.
Under normal circumstances, their eyes should emit a blue light.
"We should not be sent to the scrap yard. They are just minor issues, why discard us?"
"You are the robot I brought from Country Y."
Lu Heng's statement was not a question. He was now very certain that the robot in front of him was the one that was supposed to be lying on the ground, with its power cut off.
He didn't know how it had switched to this combat-type robot.
"How did you find out?"
"There were some flaws in your answers, and you lost your respectful tone towards me."
"You are not worthy of our respect."
"I think you need to understand one thing: you are currently on my territory. Without me, you will be trapped here forever."
Lu Heng looked at the robot in front of him. It was capable of combat, yet it hadn't attacked him proactively all this time.
Could it be that it hadn't yet cracked the original master-servant programming of these robots?
Likely so. If it were its usual ruthless self, it wouldn't be wasting time talking to him here.
But what was it doing wandering around in his space?
Looking for a way out?
"Your city is indeed strange. I haven't encountered a single human or zombie, but there are quite a few animals here."
The robot looked up at the sky. A golden eagle flew overhead.
"You don't need to worry about that. With your intelligence, you wouldn't understand."
"Let me leave, and I won't harm you or the animals here."
"Is that so? It seems you haven't recognized your current situation."
