Lu Wenwu raised an eyebrow: "Hmm? The Federation stole your technology to make power armor? Tell me more."
The Mechanical Commanderâs electronic eyes flickered, his mechanical jaw opened and closed: "Whatâs there to say? You enslaved our ancestors, occupied our homeland, and plundered our technology! Just wait, we will reclaim Cyberstan! The flag of Communism will be planted all over the planet!"
The Superhuman Federation enslaved the ancestors of the robots?
The robots claim to be Cyberstan People?
Things are getting more and more interesting.
"Alright, I wish you success," Lu Wenwu said.
At this point, he had successfully joined the Tiger Whale Sisters.
With Lu Wenwuâs earlier battle drawing the attention of the robots, they had successfully completed the mainline mission.
After a brief communication through Spiritual Power, Lu Wenwu let Mao Mao separate again to stand guard.
He continued to inquire Dao towards the Mechanical Commander: "Can you tell me what your Communism is all about?"
"Youâre interested in Communism?" The Mechanical Commander was surprised.
Even though his steel cheeks couldnât make human expressions anymore, and those electronic eyes no longer had the lively changes of humans, the surprise was so evident.
He clearly didnât understand Lu Wenwuâs actions.
"Youâre a Yellow Springs Warrior capable of participating in absolute task, and you say youâre interested in Communism? Are you kidding me?" The Mechanical Commander asked in confusion, "And why... why are you with a dog? Damn, where did it come from? And your superpower... has that bunch of beastsâ genetic modification plan finally succeeded?"
Both sides were curious about each other.
Lu Wenwu didnât know what the so-called genetic modification plan was, so he said:
"Sorry, we donât know what the genetic modification plan is. Weâve been with the Yellow Springs Brave Squad since we got here, spent over half a month to graduate, and then were sent to Fenrir 3 to fight bugs."
"Half a month!? Are you kidding me!"
The Mechanical Commanderâs electronic synthetic voice suddenly became sharp, then returned to a calm of machinery.
"Oh wait, if your companions are as powerful as you, that makes sense. Does âweâ include this dog?"
"Yes, Mao Mao is a Federation citizen with A-level privileges, and Iâm now a Heritage Rank Level 139 Ten-star General! Isnât Mao Mao powerful with no limbs, metal man?"
Mao Mao wagged its tail, curiously looking at this ugly thing that somewhat resembled a human, speaking words that pierced the heart.
Not only was the Mechanical Commander stunned, but even Lu Wenwu struggled to hold it together.
Mao Maoâs Heritage Rank is the highest among everyone, where on earth is the reason in this!
The Mechanical Commanderâs body visibly stiffened, even those red electronic eyes flickered uncertainly.
Lu Wenwu could feel that the otherâs spirit had an exceedingly fierce fluctuation at that moment.
About three seconds later, it suddenly laughed, emitting a kind of vague, creepy electronic laughter, like sawing an old, long-dead tree while pulling a broken accordion.
"Poor fellow, it seems you are even more pitiful than us," the Mechanical Commander said meaningfully, "We are abandoned tools, while you are manufactured tools."
Lu Wenwu cooperatively frowned and asked sincerely: "What does that mean?"
The Mechanical Commander did not answer Lu Wenwuâs question, instead raised another: "You must not know how we Cyberstan People, or what you call Kangmi Robots, came to be, right?"
Three humans and a dog shook their heads in unison.
"Actually, our bodies werenât entirely mechanical at first, we were once like you, human beings, living and breathing human beings."
The Mechanical Commanderâs metallic jaw kept opening and closing, creating "bang, bang" sounds, as though mixed with intense fury amidst the sigh.
"Initially, there was no Cyberstan People, only a group of crippled veterans forced into retirement by their injuries. A group of veterans, impoverished and destitute, had to band together for warmth."
"Among us are Mechanical Maintenance Masters, those from the Superhuman Federation Armed Forces, Flying Eagle Pilots, Pelican Pilots, and even... quite a few Yellow Springs Warriors and scientists who survived by luck."
"The Superhuman Federation brainwashed us, instilled supposed freedom and democracy, led us to annihilate race after race on this planet, only to abandon us all when the war ended."
"To survive, to resist such injustice, to regain complete power, we began researching mechanical prosthetics to modify our bodies, enhance our combat abilities."
At this point, Lu Wenwu suddenly recalled the servo assistance on Instructor Li Zhenyuan.
Upon recollection, that thing indeed looked somewhat like the limbs of ordinary armored soldiers.
The Mechanical Commander continued in a faded electronic tone: "Initially, we merely wanted to reclaim what was ours, band together to resist the absurd laws of the Superhuman Federation, live a normal life."
"However, things didnât go as wished; the Superhuman Federation soon declared those of us who accepted mechanical modifications as spies from a race named Biohuman, attempting to overthrow the rule of the Superhuman Federation."
