Two hours later.

011 base.

After a successful landing, Reggie couldn't wait to direct everyone to unload the cargo.

Meanwhile, he also received the latest news about the battle situation of the Cult of Machines from the battle reports transmitted by Fuxi.

"what's the situation??"

"Zhang Tao is dead?!"

Lei Jie's face was filled with shock, but even more so with bewilderment.

he died?
How could he possibly be dead?!

Just a few days ago, this man seemed to be plotting a conspiracy against the Chinese army, and a few days later, he died.
Or did he die on the battlefield, in the battle to cover the retreating main force?
Lei Jie simply couldn't understand what this person was doing.

His own mature logical system can no longer reasonably explain Zhang Tao's behavior. Perhaps the only slightly convincing reason left is just one.

faith.

Are you kidding me?
Has the belief in the Cult of Machine God really become so deeply entrenched?
Upon hearing his question, Fuxi immediately replied:
"The information is accurate."

"Based on the battle report sent back from Jinling City, Zhang Tao handed over the Saint's Seal to the archbishop he had chosen."

"Afterwards, he led a 34-man Imperial Guard unit to stay at the entrance of Jianxi Town, where they completed the interception of the lone monster."

"At first, the blocking battle went relatively smoothly."

"They killed several level four monsters, slowing down the monsters' pursuit."

"This provided an opportunity for the routed soldiers of the Holy Army to evacuate, thus preserving the only remaining elite defensive force in Jinling City."

"However, after a level-two monster known as 'Bei Kun' joined the battle, the entire ambush team was wiped out in a very short time."

"Zhang Tao has been confirmed dead in the battle—he gathered and detonated a large number of explosives, causing severe damage to the level 2 monster."

"Of course, he also died in the explosion."

"That's a heroic way to die."

At that moment, Lei Jie suddenly felt that he had forgiven Zhang Tao.

Regardless of his previous thoughts about the Chinese army, whether he was trying to break free from their control, or how foolish and slow his previous actions in dealing with the beast tide were, everything vanished when he died on the battlefield.

In Chinese tradition, the act of "martyrdom for one's country" is often seen as an act that can offset many sins.

Although Zhang Tao cannot be considered to have died for his country, at least he has chosen a dignified end for himself.

They died while covering the retreat.
He's at least a man.

Thinking of this, Lei Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he asked:
"Has the information been passed to the captain? What was his suggestion?"

"Is it reliable for the new archbishop to succeed Zhang Tao? Does he have the ability to organize the defense of Nanjing?"

"It seems so at present."

Fuxi's voice came through the earphones.

"This archbishop was promoted by Zhang Tao himself; he used to be Zhang Tao's adjutant when he was in the Guards Brigade."

"He is competent in both military skills and management abilities."

"In addition, I have already informed Commander Chen Jian."

"But he is currently engaged in combat operations in the southeastern theater and has not yet responded."

"Understood, then let's leave him alone for now."

Lei Jie replied decisively, and then said:
"I need to test three things here."

"This signal transmitting equipment, this corpse, and the flexible armor on the corpse."

"Are there any suitable testing equipment within the base?"

"Please hand over the bodies and equipment directly to the ant colony robot, and I will organize the dismantling."

"can."

Lei Jie immediately instructed Jiang Yu to carry all the goods to the main passage of Base 011, where several ant swarm robots were already ready.

Upon arrival, the cargo was immediately transported to the depths of the 011 base.

"what do I need to do?"

Lei Jie asked again.

"wait."

"Please give me twenty minutes, and I will try to give a preliminary conclusion."

"Okay." Lei Jie plopped down on the ground, only then did he feel a sense of utter exhaustion.

After fighting continuously for dozens of hours, his spirit remained in a state of high excitement.

Adrenaline is secreted continuously for 24 hours, squeezing out all the body's potential.

Now that he has stopped abruptly, he looks like a completely dehydrated corpse.

Let alone carrying out new tasks, I'm already exhausted even from moving a finger.

A strong wave of dizziness washed over him, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Jiang Yu, standing to the side, seemed somewhat at a loss. She called out to the doctor in a slightly panicked manner. Just then, Lei Jie, with trembling hands and feet, took out a bottle of sugar water from his backpack and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls.

"It's just low blood sugar, don't make a fuss about it."

Lei Jie took a few deep breaths, and the dizziness gradually subsided.

At that moment, Fuxi's voice came through the headphones.

"The autopsy results confirmed that the organism did not belong to the 'human in the narrow sense'."

"The extensive mutations and proliferations of organs, changes in bone structure, and severe abnormalities in brain tissue are likely the result of artificial intervention to adapt to the brain-computer interface."

"This is a Holy Blood One, a Holy Blood One controlled by a brain machine."

The Holy Blood One?
Lei Jie sat up abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, Fuxi's report arrived again.

"Analysis of soft protective gear materials completed."

"The protective gear is made of multiple layers of different types of materials, and all materials are recorded in the database."

"In other words, these materials themselves did not exceed the limits of human materials science research before the Great Cataclysm."

"However, the way the materials are composed has changed."

"It can be determined that this is an improved version of the M77 flexible armor."

"Understood, as expected."

Lei Jie nodded slowly, then followed up with another question:
"Where's the transmitter? What's going on?"

"It's still being disassembled; the condition of this piece of equipment is somewhat complicated."

Fuxi's voice carried a hint of anthropomorphic doubt.

"The device is divided into two parts. In addition to the upper basic radio transmission module, there is a separate, robust, sealed area inside the device, which appears to be the main processor of the device."

"I'm trying to disassemble it without damaging the equipment, but I need to create a vacuum and a cleaner electromagnetic environment first."

"That's so troublesome?"

Lei Jie frowned.

Why make it so complicated?

"The device is suspected to be a quantum communication module, a modified quantum communication module."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Jie stood up abruptly.

Quantum communication.

The Holy Blood One.

Equipment from before the Cataclysm, but optimized.

In that instant, he realized that all the clues had converged in one place.

There can't be any mistake.

All of these things must have come from the mountain city.
