Chapter 628: Welcome

"Hey, bro~ Look at this world, if it's the end of the world, just get it over with and destroy everything." Old Six sat on a sofa in the ruins, hugging Song Yi's corpse and looking up as he drank.

Song Yi's corpse had been reassembled and restored; her flattened body had returned to normal. Currently, she wore a seductive peach-colored lingerie, very revealing, while Old Six next to her occasionally reached out to touch her.

He felt incredibly melancholic and was about to take a hit when he realized there was none left.

"Bro has really gone crazy! It's fucking the end of the world, everyone's fucking dead, and they're still controlling drugs?"

As he continued drinking, he looked out at the New Metropolis in front of him; the old Metropolis looked more like a military fortress than a city now, with everything covered in metal, its air defense security system heavily armed to the teeth.

"Hey~ Lao Ding! Want a drink?" Old Six shouted towards Xiao Ding far off in the sky.

On the hover car, Xiao Ting ignored him, connected to multiple brains and calculating something.

"Don't know what they're always up to, being bosses and all, shouldn't they delegate tasks to others?"

Old Six said as he poured liquor into Song Yi's mouth. "People like us just need to give orders, no need to get our own hands dirty with everything, these people…"

After filling her with liquor, the drunken Old Six picked up another bottle, poured it over Song Yi's corpse, and then set it ablaze.

Looking at things with double vision, Old Six staggered to his feet, took off his pants, and urinated towards the raging fire, "Girl, rest in peace, don't mind whether you like this funeral or not; it is what it is."

He watched the body blacken in the fire and continued, "Don't worry, Linda Linda probably won't last a few more days, and in a while, I'll send her down to meet you."

He grabbed the paper effigies of Sun Jack and threw them into the fire alongside Song Yi's body. "Look at you, how lucky to have things burned for you. We don't even know if anyone will do the same for us when we die. Damn, maybe I should just kill myself now and maybe get a good spot."

"Boss, someone is pushing a religious agenda again!" he heard the voice near him and showed immense impatience on his face. "Ah~ It's so annoying. We're all dying, yet there's still so much trouble."

Old Six pulled up his pants and cursed as he made his way back.

As he passed by, he brushed shoulders with two AAs, "Where are you two headed? Hey? Boobs got bigger?"

However, the AAs didn't spare him any attention.

"Pssh, putting on airs, sooner or later bro is going to tie you up and use you as a fleshlight."

But the AAs didn't pay attention to Old Six and hurried back to the logistics department, where everyone was in place and more AAs continued to head that way.

Inside the messy control station covered in cables, the AAs quickly manipulated and adjusted something. Suddenly, the door opened, and Tapai walked in.

She arrived next to the control station, and transparent sensory wires emerged from her body, quickly plugging into the control desk.

"Ready! 3! 2! 1!"

Under their coordinated control, a laboratory in the suburbs suddenly burst open, and the Poet's Mechanical Worm impressively stretched its body in the air.

Under the joint control of Tapai and the AAs, these worms began to move as they calibrated their settings. After the initial calibration, accompanied by the tremors of earth-shaking, the worms continuously burrowed underground, eventually leaving behind only a dozen deep pits and nothing else.

This was just the beginning. Once the tests had succeeded, all the captured mechanical worms had burrowed into the ground, monitoring the underground rock layers under control, adding a new line of defense for Metropolis.

When they saw that their plan had succeeded, the AAs were so excited that they literally jumped up. Their hard work over the past few days had not been in vain—they had done it!

"Tapai, Tapai! This is just too good! With these caterpillars of our own, if Poet tries to mess with Metropolis like before, I'm afraid the same methods won't work anymore!" AA said excitedly, wrapping her arms around Tapai's waist.

AA's excitement wasn't just because their efforts had finally led to a successful counter-hack. More importantly, it meant that they could use the various devices left by the enemy for a rapid technological advancement.

The reason everyone was working so hard and facing danger was that their technology was far behind the enemy's.

As long as they worked hard enough, one day, their technological level would definitely be on par with the enemy's, and then they would be able to win!

"Tapai! Tapai! You should tell the Boss this great news! Let him be happy too!" The AAs chirped around Tapai, which made a moody Tapai particularly irritable.

"Alright, alright, you're amazing. Now go get back to work." Tapai lit a cigarette, took a drag, and walked away.

The various AAs, dressed in different outfits, looked at each other, their faces showing a mixture of confusion and concern.

A few minutes later, one AA sat down next to Tapai, slightly leaning against her. "What's wrong with Tapai? Did you have a fight with the Boss?"

"Actually, a fight isn't a big deal, as you know the Boss's personality. He's especially busy now, dealing with rogue AI, and he definitely doesn't have time for anything else."

Tapai shook her head, stretching out her hand to look at her palm, her face displaying dissatisfaction. "This body is just too weak; it completely limits the use of my past strengths."

"But... but if you were still a robot, wouldn't you be easily controlled by AI?" AA whispered.

Tapai looked up at the various screens, "Am I useless? In the past, at least I could fend off network attacks and serve as his mount, but it seems like as Sun Jie grows, I can hardly help him anymore."

AA quickly shook her head to deny it. "Not at all, how can you say that? Besides, you can still help now. Without you on that counter-hack, I wouldn't have been able to understand AI's programming language."

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she cautiously asked, "What's wrong? Could it be that the Boss only likes robots? Doesn't he like soft, mushy women?"

It was a casual remark, but then recalling Hilda's enormous mechanical mermaid body from the past, AA's face turned to shock; she seemed to have discovered an utterly shocking truth. "Oh my gosh!"

"What in the world are you always thinking about." Tapai slapped AA's head hard and stood up. "Go get back to work. Not only does Metropolis need mechanical worm protection, but other cities also need mechanical worm protection."

"Also, try to establish a production line for the mechanical worms, we need to counter-attack Poet with this thing." Tapai spoke and stood up, walking towards the door.

"Tapai, where are you going?" AA asked from behind.

"I'm going to do what I need to do." Tapai walked silently, going through the streets and alleys of Metropolis, sensing the cameras watching her all around.

She knew that digital Sun Jack and UO were helping Sun Jack keep an eye on her, afraid she would cause trouble; Tapai's mouth curved up slightly.

But just as Sun Jack understood her, she also understood Sun Jack, and knew that he was just a clone used as a decoy.

As for where the real entity had gone and what he was doing, she had no idea.
