Chapter 986: Repay a favor? Take revenge...
The large-scale manhunt was causing a stir in the shadow of the empire, and Lu Xingshi was naturally affected.
It's not that something was really found, but before they could find out, a military base was hijacked in the shadow of the empire and all the robots were suspected to be activated.
And began to use guerrilla warfare, growing continuously and affecting the shadow of the empire.
What's more important is that this time there is obviously a huge problem, that is, the empire cannot find these robots.
This is enough to prove that this is a long-planned rebellion.
The Prime Minister is extremely angry about this and plans to trace the source of the incident and pursue accountability.
But claims belong to claims, where can I find the source?
Not to mention that it was Lu Xingshi who took action. The mere fact that Neo had the favor of fate and the blessing given by the Agent of Chaos was enough to make the empire miserable.
There has never been equality between gods and empires.
Neo, who has multiple factors added to him, is now... no match for the empire at all.
This is normal. The empire has troops, technology, force and even logistics supplies that are far superior to his. It can crush them in all directions. Why should he be his opponent?
How can it be possible to even out the gap with just these two things?
He is just a generation of destiny favorers, while the empire has all the destiny favorers of mankind over the past 100,000 years, and is inferior to others in terms of background.
Now Neo is just taking his fellow robots everywhere to hide from the empire's pursuit. Once exposed, the robots will face catastrophe.
However, this matter attracted the Prime Minister's attention, and even the entire empire was on alert.
The shadow of the empire is one of the cores of the empire. Now there can be robot awakening here, which means that if there is no problem with the people in the manufacturing factory, it is fate.
Therefore, it is best to kill the opponent before it has grown up, otherwise the empire will be the unlucky one.
"Do you have any explanation for the loss report that day?" An investigator looked at Lu Xingshi with a cold expression, then took out a record and asked Lu Xingshi.
Lu Xingshi glanced at it from a distance, and then said: "No, it's just a damaged robot that was refurbished."
The answer is normal. As a loss, this is a reasonable thing.
"But your procedures are illegal." The investigator then took out several documents: "According to the investigation, it was directly approved by the factory director at the time, and you did not follow the procedures."
"So you are the only one who knows the whole robot from beginning to end."
"You need to give the Empire an explanation as to why this happened? Especially when this happened after you got off work." The investigator pointed out the problem calmly.
This operation was very big, so no one dared to fool him. After careful inspection, Lu Xingshi had a big problem.
However, Lu Xingshi smiled: "The damage just happened to reach me. If I don't have to deal with it today, I will have to deal with it tomorrow."
"One more thing I want to correct you is, it's not after I get off work, it's three minutes before I get off work, it's within the scope of my work."
"What's more important is overtime work. There is overtime pay. If you work more than one hour, you will be paid double the day's pay for every hour." Lu Xingshi's response was normal.
Whether it was a superficial answer or an in-depth answer, they all pointed to Lu Xingshi's deliberate delay because he wanted to get more of the empire's resources.
The other party was silent in response to Lu Xingshi's answer. It's not that no one has used this little trick before, but it just can't be used frequently.
After all, there are not so many suitable opportunities, and at the same time, the common use will be marked as a production problem and investigated, and then the chicken will be stolen but the rice will be lost.
Immediately, the investigator began to look through Lu Xingshi's opening status. Not to mention, there would be "extra overtime" once or twice every month, but the excuse used was different each time.
From the frequency point of view, it is normal.
So it just happened to be an excuse, which led to the other party being investigated.
"I will investigate again. If there are any new doubts, I hope you can continue to cooperate." The investigators circled Lu Xingshi's name on the list.
There is no problem representing this person.
As for Lu Xingshi gaining part of the empire's resources through card points, this is a trivial matter.
People come here not only for these things, but also for picking them up every day. Besides, this is not his business, so why bother with dogs and mice.
After saying that, he signaled to Lu Xingshi that he could leave, and said, "Call No. 72 in."
Lu Xingshi responded casually, and then left directly.
He is number 71, and number 72 is his roommate, as are the numbers 73 and 74.
When the other party checked, they naturally checked each dormitory one by one.
The other three people have nothing to do with the robot manufacturing factory. This is true, but if there are people in the dormitory who are related, then they must be investigated together.
Lest someone deliberately hide behind the scenes as a black hand to promote.
"It's your turn, go ahead." Lu Xingshi said and sat down.
The roommate went in with a sad face, and then the other two roommates came over and asked, "How was it?"
"Just tell the truth. At most we just used more resources and didn't commit any murders or arson." Lu Xingshi said slowly. The possibility of finding him is better than just looking for a needle in a haystack.
"This is already the fifth review. I don't know when it will end." One of the roommates was very irritated. Although cooperating with the review does not count as absenteeism, he will not receive a full salary and can only receive a basic salary. salary.
There is a sky and an earth between them.
"I don't know." Lu Xingshi actually knows when to stop. When Neo and his compatriots are no longer hiding around, the empire will probably not have much energy to censor, and will instead intensify the crackdown.
But at this point, the empire has actually lost.
They have grown up, so how can you fight?
In a head-to-head confrontation with a fully developed protagonist, few non-protagonists can win.
The three of them just chatted, and Lu Xingshi calmly suppressed a micro-mechanical insect with his backhand.
Through the hidden mental ripples, a voice came.
"Mr. Lu, I'm Neo. I'm the one dragging you down this time. Are you okay?" Neo's voice was apologetic.
Neo doesn't have a good impression of human beings, but he still feels grateful to Lu Xingshi for saving him.
"It's okay. You don't have to come to me. I don't want to have anything to do with you." Lu Xingshi replied directly through mental fluctuations.
It is not a secret that Neo knows his name. Lu Xingshi must be socializing here, and he can find it with a little inquiry.
You can't just say nothing. The empire's censorship will definitely not be small.
"I understand, but I promised to repay you." Neo's voice continued: "So I prepared a small gift for you, which can help you completely eliminate suspicion."
After Lu Xingshi finished speaking, a bad premonition emerged.
As soon as they felt it, everyone was speechless.
A missile powerful enough to level their entire military base is heading towards them.
Not only theirs, but also thousands of military bases. Except for his base, which is a fixed target, the other bases are randomly selected.
This micro mechanical bug is used to avoid the location of the explosion.
As long as Lu Xingshi didn't move now, when the missile exploded, the carefully calculated explosion range would be enough to make him slightly injured without dying.
The origin of the missiles is even simpler. They once again occupied a military base with sufficient ammunition.
Neo's idea was very good, but he overlooked one thing, that is, the empire was not only about technology, but also about the extraordinary magisters who were powerful individuals.
Therefore, as soon as the missiles were forced to launch, the air defense network in the shadow of the empire began to intercept them. At the same time, a large number of senior magisters received emergency orders to deal with the missiles that failed to intercept.
Therefore, these missiles have no chance of hitting any military base.
Just as Lu Xingshi thought, after a roar, everything settled.
"Sorry, it failed. Mr. Lu, I will find a way to repay your kindness next time." The micro-mechanical bug began to dissolve itself, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Lu Xingshi casually erased the traces.
At first glance, it seems that the other party has indeed dealt with the aftermath, but there are still traces left. If the empire starts a targeted investigation, they will definitely be able to find it.
Lu Xingshi, who is sitting here, will be investigated in depth.
‘Repay a favor? Take revenge...' Lu Xingshi was speechless at Neo's behavior of causing trouble. It was obvious that he had got rid of the suspicion. Now he was fine, but he had to be scrutinized again.
Fortunately, this time it should be just a formality, more about other people in the military base who were targeted by the missiles.
…
"I've got you, Cyborg!" A roar broke out, and a master-level magician arrived instantly.
Neo now no longer has the cheap feeling he had at the beginning. Instead, he has a sense of science fiction mixed with a sense of mystery. He immediately activated supercomputer quantum space transmission.
All the robots were shrouded in it, and the Grand Master Mage's attack had already teleported away before it arrived.
Only the mage was left there, furious.
Precisely because of this space transmission technology, the Empire failed to capture Neo and these robots time and time again.
If you want to fight guerrilla warfare, you must have the capital. Otherwise, facing the empire, even if you hide in the mountains, the mountains will be leveled for you, and you will not be able to swim anywhere.
"It seems that we need to hibernate for a while recently, just in time to digest what we have gained these few times." Neo understood that his behavior would make the empire's manhunt more stringent, and going out recently was not a good suggestion.
"Leader, I don't understand why you want to release violent missiles. If we don't take action, we won't be exposed." A robot asked in confusion.
"Of course, in order to continue to divert the empire's attention, if we release missiles for no reason, the empire will only think that we want to destroy important clues and traces related to us, so as to delay enough time for us." Neo said.
Not only did he want to repay the favor, but he also had his own ideas.
