Chen Zhe was actually a little flustered after he said it, but his heart gradually calmed down after he saw that she did not avoid him, and he took her small hand in return.
Under the cover of night, the dilapidated house seemed to have a touch of warmth.
Unfortunately, the communication from inside the Executor mech was quickly interrupted: "Mech 00887, please report your location. The system shows you have deviated from your patrol position. Have you detected any problems? 00887, please report your location..."
Chen Zhe immediately turned off the communicator, turned around and ruffled the head of the little girl who was a head shorter than him. "Hide here and leave when it gets light."
After he finished speaking, he jumped back into the mecha. Just as the cockpit was about to close, Hongfeng suddenly grabbed him.
The little girl, her face flushed and her heart pounding, looked up and asked, "There's still something I don't understand. Why didn't V tell her the truth himself? He should have had video recordings of what happened in the battle system."
Chen Zhe patiently explained, "Telling her the truth now will only put her in greater danger. Without evidence, Lu Yuan will definitely not admit it. And have you forgotten the obstacles you encountered in the combat system? That obstructing system is as powerful as V, and he alone could not have done it."
Hongfeng was reminded by Chen Zhe that she had overlooked this point, but...
Hongfeng lowered her head and murmured her innermost thoughts, "I understand, but I don't want you to take the risk. If you die, where will we come from? I..."
Her words were lost in the man's sudden embrace and kiss.
It wasn't until he distanced himself again that Hongfeng belatedly covered her mouth, her face completely red.
"I will definitely come back to find you." Chen Zhe's handsome face was slightly flushed. He never dared to dream of doing something so intimate with her so openly, but in fact, the feeling was better than he expected.
Hongfeng didn't come to her senses until the Executor mecha disappeared. She stood there calmly for a long time before the heat on her face gradually subsided. At this moment, her communicator vibrated slightly, and Li Rui's worried question came through the earpiece.
“Hongfeng, where are you? Come back quickly! The hovercar at the bottom of the lake has been salvaged, and the media has released news of our ‘death.’ Lu Yuan will not tell the truth.”
Hongfeng's face darkened upon hearing this.
Meanwhile, the salvage ship retrieved the wrecked hovercar and searched the lakebed for two days. Because there were many wild and ferocious fish at the bottom of the lake, they only managed to retrieve some skeletons and the bracelets of Hong Feng and Li Rui, but not Chen Zhe's.
Although DNA testing is still underway, the salvage operation has attracted a lot of attention. To calm public sentiment, the media has temporarily released news of the two people's deaths, while also announcing that V had been successfully captured.
As ordinary people, they thought it was just a "rebel enforcer" who had been arrested, and it didn't attract much attention.
But for Wang Cheng, who knows the truth, he has not yet completely let his guard down.
Based on the fact that V was previously unable to enter the highest-security compartment of the mech, they discovered that although V is now inside the mech, he still possesses the common weakness of all AI systems.
If all signals are blocked with special materials, it is equivalent to building a "prison" exclusively for the AI system. The room, about the size of a basketball court, has irregularly shaped circular black metal walls that can block more than 99% of signals, and the people inside cannot transmit anything out.
When Lu Yuan learned about V, he began to build this special "prison". It was located in a dense forest far away from Sky City and all the residents, buried deep underground, and the walls were equipped with a powerful electric fence that could tear even a mecha to pieces.
Outside the entire building, there were hundreds of mech warriors on guard; it could be said that they had used almost every means to defend against him.
At this moment, V, who was being stared at by dozens of eyes, was quite relaxed, sitting on the ground in a human-like manner, looking completely harmless.
The previous lightning blast successfully brought his system to a temporary standstill, and all his weapons were removed, leaving him as an empty shell.
Even so, with the five-meter-tall black mecha sitting there, no one dared to relax.
They still remembered how, just a few hours earlier, V had single-handedly stormed into the three-story platform and turned hundreds of Executor mechs into junk in less than five minutes, including any electronically controlled weapons.
Finally, Lu Yuan managed to barely control V by manipulating the Judge mech, allowing the lightning bullets to be used.
Even so, the fight between Lu Yuan and V completely "renovated" the basement lobby. The floors and walls were ruined, and several pillars were broken. Because V is an AI system, he is much smarter than humans and even used ancient martial arts like Xia Yixin. Fortunately, Lu Yuan is strong enough, otherwise it is hard to imagine how many people would have been needed to stop him.
Just then, the black mech that had been sitting suddenly stood up. Wang Cheng subconsciously prepared to draw his gun when a report came through the communicator: "Team Leader Wang, the Commander-in-Chief and his wife have come down."
With a "ding" from the elevator bell, the elevator doors opened, and Xia Yixin quickly stepped out. The chill emanating from Lu Yuan behind her sent a shiver down Wang Cheng's spine. He respectfully greeted, "Commander-in-Chief, Madam Commander-in-Chief."
