Jack replied calmly, "Because the people in this world... should... all have become robots..."
His voice was low and deep, filled with endless sorrow and helplessness.
Ye Li frowned slightly and continued to press, "Those robots...were they really transformed from humans?"
This confirmed his initial guess.
The robots driving the survivors' vehicles didn't kill the survivors; they simply stole their vehicles.
Instead, because of the mission failure, he was turned into a robot.
This is the punishment for failing a mission in this world.
Jack nodded slightly: "Yes."
Ye Li's heart grew even heavier. He didn't want to become that piece of junk, driving around aimlessly.
"Why would people turn into robots?" Ye Li asked.
"When you came into this world... you should have noticed... there has always been... a sphere in the sky... emitting a red light, right?"
"Just like the sun... almost the same..."
Jack finished speaking with great difficulty, as if he were taking a deep breath.
"Yes, there is." Ye Li nodded.
In the direction the highway was heading, there was a red sphere floating in the sky.
Ye Li had always believed that it was the sun of this world.
Although the sphere never changed its position.
However, Ye Li had experienced eternal night and polar day before, so he only paid a little attention to any unusual natural phenomena in this world and didn't think too much about them.
Reminded by Jack, Ye Li suddenly realized: "Was it that thing that was behind this?"
"That's not the real sun, but an artificial sun, called... Steel, the Blazing Sun."
Jack's tone suddenly turned serious.
After speaking, as if he had used up all his strength, his body hunched slightly and he began to breathe heavily.
"Steel...Sun?"
That sounds pretty impressive.
"A very powerful advanced technological product, the culmination of my... and my research partner's life's work, was originally intended to make a huge contribution to human development..."
Jack's voice suddenly grew softer and softer until it was barely audible.
Ye Li pricked up his ears, trying hard to hear what Jack was saying, but all he heard was a muffled murmur and Jack's moving mouth.
"Could you speak a little louder?"
Ye Li couldn't help but interject.
The feeling of having gossip right in front of you but not being able to hear it is really maddening.
“I’ll say it again…” Jack suddenly raised his head and slowly said, “A super technology that surpasses all previous technologies.”
Ye Li frowned and repeated, "Steel Sun?"
"kindness?"
Jack asked in confusion, as if he had come to his senses. He dragged his body, which looked like it was about to collapse at any moment, forward a few steps. An incredulous look flashed across his face, which still had half of flesh and blood left: "You actually know about the Steel Sun?"
Ye Li rolled her eyes dramatically: "Hey, didn't you just say that yourself?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, my health has been deteriorating, and my memory is getting worse. Sometimes I forget what I just said a second ago. Please don't mind." Jack smiled apologetically, then asked, "Where were we?"
Ye Li sighed deeply and reminded him, "Steel Sun!"
"Ah, right, right, Steel Sun."
Jack nodded, a wry smile on his face, and then fell silent again.
Ye Li stared wide-eyed at Jack, feeling extremely anxious.
The two stared at each other for a long time, neither of them speaking.
Just as Ye Li was about to speak, Jack suddenly spoke first: "The Steel Sun is an extremely terrifying weapon that can turn all matter in the world into steel."
