70 Days of Scavenging
Before the little robot could offer any explanation, Ren Wenhan and Zuo Sheng were already making all sorts of guesses in their minds.
Ren Wenhan, in particular, had the longest contact with the little robot. He hadn't forgotten either its appearance, which was so different from the other stowaways in the cabin, or the gold coins it casually pulled out later.
He felt he might now know why the snow-haired boy had smuggled himself into the country.
Perhaps there are some amazing abilities in this world that cannot be explained by science yet, and Ji Tong happens to be one of those people.
Foreign countries are known for their domineering practices, with numerous chaotic and disorganized laboratories. If someone is found to possess such unique abilities, it's entirely possible that they would attempt to capture and study them.
Ren Wenhan thought that perhaps there was more than one person with such abilities, and maybe the entire Xiaotong family possessed such abilities, but judging from the current situation, the others had probably already been killed, and only Xiaotong had escaped.
The more Ren Wenhan thought about it, the more likely this possibility seemed, and his gaze towards the little robot was filled with heartache.
At the same time, Ren Wenhan felt both pity and affection for the little robot who, despite her misfortune, was willing to expose herself to help them. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would never betray Xiaotong's trust!
As for Zuo Sheng, although he didn't know as much information as Ren Wenhan, his ability to fill in the gaps was not weak either. All the stories he read in his youth popped into his mind, and he guessed again and again about the little robot's identity.
However, he also had no intention of doing anything to betray the snow-haired boy's trust.
It wasn't until the team met up with the people sent by Beiyan to track them down that the group was escorted to Beiyan under tight security. Just as they were about to reach Beiyan, Ren Wenhan and Zuo Sheng found the little robot and asked him if he was willing to report the details of their rescue.
The two made it clear that if the little robot refused, they would coordinate their story and use the excuse of accidentally creating a new weapon during a crisis to cover it up.
Anyway, there were only the three of them in the car at the time, and as long as they didn't say anything, no one would know how that strange attack was launched.
Such actions truly went against their belief in dedicating everything to their country, but when they saw the little robot's young and trusting face, they realized they hadn't done anything wrong.
I believe that even if others were in this situation, they would make the same decision as me.
Even if some minor issues are covered up, Xiaotong is still supporting our army and contributing to a peaceful future, and that's enough.
Ren Wenhan and Zuo Sheng thought this, and then were overjoyed to receive the answer that the snow-haired boy agreed to report the truth!
Sure enough, I knew it! Xiaotong is a good kid, and I must not let her down!
Ren Wenhan and Zuo Sheng had the same thought at the same time.
.
The exchange team that had been kidnapped has returned on its own!
They even tied up the enemy prisoners!
The news spread like wildfire and couldn't be hidden.
After all, the city of Beiyan was under strict lockdown at the time, and the investigation into the leads was so intense that anyone with good connections would have known.
During that period, countless spies were arrested. A large number of people who came for the new weapon and its creators were arrested. Only a few who hid well and those who had not yet made any moves escaped.
Therefore, even if these people originally came for the new weapons, they couldn't help but inquire about the kidnapping.
When people learned that the two scientists arrested were weapons experts, most thought they probably wouldn't come back.
After all, if they were to capture such a talent, they would either take him back to their own country or, if they couldn't, kill him. They would never release him to strengthen other forces.
But... the person actually came back completely unharmed?!
And they even tied up the enemy?!
Upon further inquiry, it turned out that the kidnapped individuals were from various countries. They were well-equipped and possessed considerable fighting strength. Their successful kidnapping was clearly the result of meticulous planning. How could they have been outmaneuvered?
Moreover, I heard that the enemy was completely captured, even their leaders were brought back tied up, and all the soldiers below were captured without exception.
Just who are those people in that exchange group?
This isn't a kidnapping, it's a fishing trip, isn't it?!
Those who had no good intentions toward the new weapon became increasingly hesitant, fearing they might also fall victim to its effects.
The people of Beiyan were both proud and smug: So what if they were not from the other countries? We still managed to take them over!
The Northern Yan'an Intelligence Department was quite happy to receive this prisoner gift package. They didn't know what these prisoners had gone through, and although they weren't in good spirits, they were extremely obedient, answering every question without hesitation and being unbelievably honest.
They gained a lot of useful information as a result, so how could they not be happy?
The leaders at the top of the North Yan region were somewhat relieved after confirming that none of their key scientists were injured, and the news they received afterward made them extremely happy.
I never expected that Comrade Ji Tong would be so extraordinary!
After confirming that Ren Wenhan and Zuo Sheng were telling the truth, Commander-in-Chief Zhu personally brought the small robot to meet with the top leader.
In the reception room where only the three of them were present, the little robot showed them the existence of the magic scroll.
They then tested the teleportation scroll on the spot.
Only the teleportation scrolls are relatively quiet; the other scrolls are quite elaborate and not suitable for indoor display.
After the leader and the commander-in-chief followed the little robot back and forth between Beiyan and Beiping in a bizarre manner, they had no choice but to believe it.
Yes, the little robot simply used a teleportation scroll to take them to Beiping. Since it didn't matter where they teleported, he might as well go to Beiping and check his trash cans. So, the scroll wasn't wasted.
Having long heard about this young weapons prodigy's peculiar hobby of collecting trash, the commander and chief commander, while recovering from their shock, smiled helplessly.
The two then inquired in detail about the magic scroll.
For example, its manufacturing process, principles, functions, etc., are somewhat regrettable when it is known that it requires "magic" as a power source, and only small robots have magic.
Of course, the little robot didn't tell everything without reservation. He didn't mention things unrelated to the magic scroll, such as that he was a robot or that there were other worlds.
The two commanders-in-chief did not press the matter further.
They had already heard Ren Wenhan's speculations about the young comrade's plight, and since the Commander-in-Chief had already investigated the little robot's background when he brought out the Song of Radiance, knowing that he was trustworthy, there was even less need to dig into his sad past now.
The northern extension has always done a great job in terms of being highly inclusive.
Not long after this conversation, the frontline support team, which had been centered around the small robot, was established.
All operations of this team are directly overseen by the Commander-in-Chief and other leaders; the team's code name is "Scroll"!
The task of this team after its formation is simple: to go to the battlefield to provide support according to the urgency of the situation.
As the core of Project Scroll, the little robot naturally had to go along.
The day before their departure, Ren Wenhan and Zuo Sheng came to see them off.
Even though they knew the inside story, they couldn't help but worry about the little robot's safety. However, both of them knew how important the little robot was, so they didn't tell him not to go, but only told him to take good care of himself.
"You must eat on time. Don't think I don't know. If no one's watching, you can skip meals. That won't work on the front lines. You have to eat when you're supposed to," Ren Wenhan earnestly instructed.
Zuo Sheng patted the little robot on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll have someone collect all the trash in the lab and keep it for you to pick up when you get back."
The little robot's eyes lit up immediately at what he said next.
The radiant happiness he exuded made Ren Wenhan and Zuo Sheng shake their heads and laugh.
"Oh, by the way, someone else wants to see you and is already waiting in the meeting room. Go ahead."
Having said everything he needed to say, Ren Wenhan waved his hand, not wanting to delay the little robot's schedule any longer.
After saying goodbye to the two, the little robot headed towards the meeting room.
Pushing open the door, Zhang Lanyue and several others were waiting inside.
The little robot quickly found the information of these people by searching the facial recognition database.
One is Zhu Zhiwen, the human he saved in Beiping using a magic potion. The other two are the current heads of the Environmental Protection Society.
"Comrade Naji!"
Upon seeing the little robot, the four people solemnly saluted him. They clearly knew he was going to support the front lines, and their eyes were filled with respect.
The two heads of the Environmental Society came to report on their recent work to the little robot and solemnly promised that they would continue to run the Environmental Society well and would not let Comrade Naji be distracted or worried!
The little robots had no problem with this, as long as they could handle the garbage properly.
Zhang Lanyue's visit this time was similar to a work report. She wanted to talk about the medicine formula that the little robot had given her before, which had now produced a large batch of medicine. Zhang Lanyue hoped that he could take it with him to the front line.
"The efficacy of the drug has been verified. The first thing we did was to prepare anti-inflammatory and hemostatic drugs, which are urgently needed by the frontline soldiers. We originally planned to find a way to send them over ourselves, but now it's a good opportunity for you to take them with you."
As Zhang Lanyue spoke, she handed the warehouse address to the little robot.
She donated this batch of medicine. This has been agreed upon by everyone at the factory.
Their original intention in establishing this pharmaceutical factory was to help the soldiers and save more lives. As for profits, thanks to what Comrade Naji had given them earlier, the factory currently has more than enough funds.
Besides, they also kept a small batch, intending to sell some at a high price.
Well, it's about robbing the rich to help the poor.
In short, if it's inconvenient for the little robot to carry the medicine, Zhang Lanyue will find another way.
The little robot did not refuse.
Their team didn't need to transport anything; the most important person was himself. Adding another batch of medicine wouldn't be a problem.
The matter was reported and was not rejected.
Soon, the little robot began to head towards the front line.
This is the first time in several worlds that he has actively participated in human conflict.
The little robot didn't know what was wrong with him, but he didn't regret his choice.
Perhaps this is the unique charm of humankind?
.
The third battlefield in the north.
The Chinese army has been engaged in a protracted war with the Japanese army here for 28 days, and even though they are in a losing position, they refuse to retreat.
The Japanese army wanted to seize the railway here, and if they succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, even though the Chinese army suffered heavy losses, they gritted their teeth and resisted stubbornly.
However, the Japanese army's weaponry and equipment were much stronger, and the situation became increasingly unbalanced.
Just then, news came from the rear that reinforcements from the north would arrive in three days at most!
Everyone was invigorated.
Even those fighting on the front lines had only heard about the power of the new weapons used in the northern border defense line!
