"Doctor, what do we do now? Our people are already down there. Should we go directly to find them?"

Zhou Xiaonan asked nervously. After all, it concerned her boyfriend.

Thankfully, she was quick-witted enough to suddenly think of bringing back Zhi'ai at the last moment, which persuaded the doctor to continue sending forces.

"Let's find Number 13 first."

According to Yang Tianzheng's deduction, even if the connection with Dawn was severed, Number 13 would continue to carry out his mission. Therefore, Number 13 must be secretly guarding Zhi'ai's side.

Moreover, it would be best if those monsters were all dead, so that he could appear out of nowhere in a situation of isolation and helplessness and save the helpless Zhi'ai. Ha, perfect!

That's how it's written in books. As the saying goes, art comes from life, so there's definitely no problem. He'll marry Zhi'ai as soon as he saves her!

"Okay!"

Looking at Yang Tianzheng's expression gradually softening, Zhou Xiaonan was overjoyed. Sure enough, she still held some importance in the doctor's heart. After all, she was his only student.

"What's the situation with the core? The instability has been increasing recently, and several experimental subjects sent down have lost contact?"

"I'm not very clear. The system is obviously malfunctioning. There are problems with the data reporting module, including our observation of the situation below. There are big problems, but we can't stop running it for the time being. We can confirm that there's a bug, but it can still run."

After all, although restarting could solve most problems, the running system meant the survivors below wouldn't have a chance to live.

Only those near the meteorite could survive, while creatures outside the coverage area would be out of luck.

…

"Here it comes!"

Bang—

A splash of water exploded on the sea surface. That speed of a hard landing was no different from crashing directly into the ground.

"Sensing target signal, Number 13, signal comparison in progress, target confirmed."

A humanoid creature with dull eyes, a shaved head, and completely like a puppet, or rather, a humanoid flesh machine.

Looking around, his gaze fixed on the towering pagoda in the air, his pupils dilated, "Unidentified object detected, uploading data."

While uploading, Number 13 had already arrived behind them. After all, he was the strongest of the Sleepers, let alone facing these semi-finished products.

Machines without consciousness, relying entirely on the Dawn main brain for remote control, were nothing without the brain.

"Yo, isn't this our old friend? What's wrong?"

The machine turned its head mechanically and walked to Number 13, "Mission target Number 13 detected, mission completed."

He stretched out his hand and handed over a fluorescent metal sphere.

"The doctor's order requires your help. The mission is to bring Zhi'ai back to Dawn without harming her."

"This is the limiter device needed for this mission. It can restrict the supernatural abilities in Zhi'ai's body."

"..." Number 13 said nothing, quietly transmitting everything he saw and heard to the chief supervisor's consciousness. The specific decision still needed to be made by the chief supervisor.

"Please receive your mission."

"..."

"Please receive your mission."

After three inquiries, the bald man stood still.

"Number 13 unit has an incorrect location, taking emergency measures, emergency avoidance initiated, mission recording started."

"Recovery system enable request, request successful, recovery system activated."

The current Number 13 was naturally not afraid of the so-called recovery system. That was Dawn's red line measure to control the Sleepers. The function of this system was to stop the machine's power supply, thereby restricting the Sleepers' movements.

But Kaka had directly erased it during the modification. The system was still original, but the hardware had long been completely upgraded and replaced.

"... "Your Majesty, please hurry up! This subordinate is about to be beaten!

Although Number 13 wasn't afraid of trouble, he didn't want to be beaten for no reason. The effects of force were mutual. It would be bad if he damaged the new body that the Empress had modified for him.

The bald man paused, then twisted his head at a strange angle, and a root-like vent suddenly burst out from his back. Mechanical arms tried to extend along his back towards Number 13.

Number 13 didn't change much and tore them off casually.

"! Emergency request, recovery system failed!"

This time, there was no quick feedback. After all, this kind of thing had to be reported to Dr. Yang before a decision could be made.

The two fought together, but judging from the situation, all that fell were mechanical fragments. The bald man was clearly struggling, while Number 13 was holding his own against five opponents.

…

Over here, Kaka also told the Empress about the situation.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? Should we carry out obliteration and modification according to the previous situation, or..."

"Hmm, let me think, why don't we go up and take a look? Anyway, that so-called system restricts my supernatural abilities, and I still have you."

Kaka was always reliable.

"Yes, Your Majesty, then we can set off now. I will arrange the little ones. The situation with the Leviathan cub is going smoothly, and the neural channel debugging and unblocking can be carried out tomorrow."

"Mmm."

After saying hello to Hei Tuotuo, Lin Mo directly left the underwater world.

"By the way, Kaka, remember to inform my little mermaid and have her bring all those survivors back to me, and also my plantation, arrange it properly for me."

"Yes."

Lin Mo hadn't forgotten the purpose of her trip, which was to find her subordinates and stop the sea race from oppressing them!

Bringing them to her territory was the best way. She would sup…cough, she would take care of them better than the sea race would.

"Oh, and also my ornamental fish, remember to raise it and don't kill it."

After all, Hei Tuotuo gave it to her for free, so she shouldn't refuse.
