Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 168 167. If Everyone is a Colander, Then No One is a Colander (Part )
The intelligence in this world is complex and intertwined, and the offensive and defensive battles between various ciphers are naturally extremely close.

Even if it's specific about what mission the mercenary has accepted and where they will carry it out, as long as someone is willing to look for it, there's a chance they can dig it out.

Dr. Mei's reminder immediately made Sefer think about why the information he provided to the transformation agency was transmitted to the intelligence network of various large companies in just a few hours or even half a day?
Why were they able to finalize the preparations for the meeting and even set off? There is only one answer: the number of traitors in the reform agency is far more than expected.

Not to mention intelligence, even the video footage was leaked.

Now that all these have been leaked, then according to this logic... although the transactions between Sefer and the financiers may not be monitored or eavesdropped on by anyone, what about the rest of it?

In the relaxing zero-gravity bath, with only his head exposed outside the gel, Cypher thought so as he relaxed his body naturally.

"Are you saying... that someone leaked information during the process of preparing the supplies, transporting them out of the node city, and joining up with other convoys?"

Dr. May was simply enjoying the deliciousness in every sense of the word, expressing his approval in silence.

"But then again, no matter how valuable the engine is, it's only worth so much. There's no need to mobilize a large force to snatch it."

At this time, Seifer was still quite optimistic, because according to estimates, no matter how high the output of the body engine was, it was actually just that, and could not compare with these joint engines of the mobile base.

Dr. Mei squirmed and formed a brain. "When I don't have the technology I possess, I crave it from others. Even if I can't analyze it immediately, I can't let others put it into practical use right away."

"But don't worry too much. The convoy coming to the meeting is quite large, and we don't want to antagonize everyone on the surface. You might face retaliation later."

...Now I don’t feel like taking a bath anymore.

Cypher adjusted his posture and sat up as if swimming in slime. "Then I should prepare for the conflict. Let me out first..."

"No, I haven't cleaned you yet."

Dr. Mei refused with a clear conscience, then squirmed a few times and swallowed Cypher's head together - then suddenly expelled the excess water, and while ensuring that she could breathe, she recondensed into a human form.

In terms of body shape, it looks a bit like Cypher (backup form).

"Since I'm free anyway, why not disguise myself like this?" Dr. Mei's suggestion was unreliable.

Moreover, the compressed mass meant that the stickiness was even greater, and Seifer felt as if he were being severely restrained by the colloid substance, which was not a good feeling.

"I don't think it's working, mainly because I feel like I'm about to be digested."

Dr. Mei expanded again out of boredom, allowing her to leave the bathroom refreshed - this guy did things as he pleased, and Seifer had no doubt that if he didn't leave, he would have to endure the 'super-high-speed rotating vacuum suction'.

——In any case, after ruling out this possibility, Cypher put on his pajamas and coat, dragging his long hair, which had been spread out like a mop on the ground, and returned to the main control to check the contents of the control system.

The windows floating around him summarized all the information about the entire vehicle, from the degree of wear and tear to the current strength of the armor, from the amount of ammunition reserves to the percentage of ammunition degradation.

The physical condition of each passenger... Oh, this part was provided by Shengnai. She had unknowingly compiled the physical condition of everyone in the car into a data table.

Except for Lin Shenxue who was a little heavier than when she came, everyone was in good health - especially Dr. Mei. Sefer didn't know how Shengnai tested him, but Dr. Mei's physical condition was "excellent".

As for the automatic fire control weapons... after Lin Shenxue's unremitting efforts, all the fire control chips and automatic fire control systems have been installed.

More than ten secondary guns can now operate automatically, but Sefer really does not have the manpower to control these automatic weapons.

It would be great if there was a skilled gunner on board, or a weapons officer, or worse... never mind. If trustworthy people were so easy to find, I'd probably be broke by now, ready to sell the car and run away.

Back in the main control cabin, Seifer suddenly thought that the spare bodies could be disconnected outside the rack bay, so could the main body directly control these spare bodies from the outside?

Previously, it was believed that only the connection system between the jar and the main body could connect consciousness to the mechanical body. After careful consideration, it is actually a currently unknown "ghost connection".

Thinking of this, she walked to the spare body rack, opened the cover, faced her spare body, and raised her hand to point at it.

"--start up!"

There is no response. Although you can open a dialog box to confirm and specify where to repair the spare body, unfortunately, you cannot make the spare body move.

"No... then how about using an external remote control?"

A chair was even prepared to prevent Seifer from falling to the ground after his consciousness was transferred. He lowered his head regretfully, tapped and poked a few times, and actually found the remote control mode.

With the sound of the rack opening, the machine slowly stood up, walked to Cypher with stiff steps, and squatted stiffly. If the face made of skin was not covered... it would look really stupid.

To be honest, it was very uncomfortable to operate, so after confirming that this approach was meaningless, Seifer returned to the jar regretfully.

The tank descended, and at the moment when his breathing, touch and even various senses disappeared at the same time, Seifer opened his eyes again.

A familiar UI interface lit up in front of my eyes. I stood up from the ground, imitated an "ah" sound through the loudspeaker, and went to the restaurant to wait for dark, waiting for the crew to rest well and continue today's work.

At the same time, he was also roaming around various channels to confirm whether there was any news worth paying attention to in the nearby node cities and on the roads.

Just like watching a short video, it is actually very interesting to observe the ecology of the mercenaries - in the blink of an eye, the sun has slowly set, and everyone in the car has come out of the room and slowly gathered in the restaurant.

Seifer immediately stopped watching the two mercenaries playing an interesting game of chess, heated up the stove and pots, and began to prepare breakfast for everyone.

The first person to enter the restaurant was Tien, who was holding a helmet and preparing. "Wow, you're getting ready so early... wow, this smells amazing! It smells much better than worm soup."

"Of course, worm meat is nothing compared to this. This is a feast that Shengnai and I prepared for you. It will last you for several days."

"Ha, I thought you were so bad at flirting with girls that you'd have to wait a while, but now you're almost cooking together? Will I see you hugging someone's little sister and whispering in private in a few days?"

Tien was so skilled at talking while sitting with her legs crossed that it gave people the feeling that she was a veteran in the love field... Oh, not the feeling.

"I'm a robot now. Have you ever seen a robot fall in love with a human?"

Tien shrugged. "So many independent mercenaries treat their guns as their wives. Who knows?"

"Let it be. I have too many troubles on my hands right now... Here, breakfast."

A bowl of fresh fish soup with shredded fish noodles, fish balls, and a handful of fresh noodles cooked from hand-rolled noodles, this is breakfast.

Seifer told her to eat quickly and go to the main control cabin instead of discussing the captain's gossip here.

Because today will be busy.
