Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 231 230. I thought someone was not good at communicating but unexpectedly he is so talkative (Part )

The vehicle travels in the fast lane and drives straight through anything it encounters, even cars blocking the way - it just crashes into them.

The car that Yin Ya called for was not a cheap one. It could even be used as an armored vehicle to a certain extent, and it could knock some things over without even shaking.

"So the problem we're facing now is that the meeting isn't over yet, and I have to get you two to a safe place, and then... is it true that no one knows about that thing?"

The two people in the back row were silent for a moment. Yin Ya sat up straight. "Perhaps, I have some impression. My company once received intelligence claiming that the Transformation Agency had put a new type of construction machinery into use to speed up the construction of the Node City."

"But we never received any images or technical certification after that. This kind of construction machinery is almost non-existent, so it had to be shelved."

At this point, Feldrich snorted. "What kind of construction machine? This thing is clearly another one of those anachronistic things the Transformation Agency created, devoid of any brain or cerebellum, purely for the sake of manufacturing."

"They are clearly showing off their ability to suppress all other companies by tinkering with technologies that no one understands."

"Give me enough money and time, and I can optimize this outdated design into something much more stable and user-friendly than this out-of-control thing."

Apparently Feldridge was frightened—perhaps?
"Actually, I've never understood. Aren't you a combination of three companies? Under these circumstances, you can't be compared to a reformation agency?"

Yin Ya grabbed the handrail at hand to prevent herself from being thrown out of the car... At this time, Sefer was still driving at high speed. The fact that they could chat was because his driving skills were good. He wouldn't take off as soon as he encountered a slope, like some extreme driving.

After a moment's thought, Yin Ya said, "Many mercenaries share this idea, but unfortunately, in terms of technical reserves and monetization, even if we combine our efforts, we still cannot withstand the pace of the transformation organization."

"It's as if they've mastered some extraordinary technology. They can constantly produce, or even deploy, equipment even more advanced than what's currently available, to resolve any head-on conflict."

"Fortunately, the Transformation Agency doesn't intend to dominate the entire desert. They seem indifferent to anything other than desert climate transformation. Specifically, even if this node city accommodates countless mercenaries gathering here to dig for gold, they don't care at all."

This node city is incredible. Sefer marveled at its three-dimensional structure, because its interior can even be called a mechanical nest. Judging from the proportions, it can accommodate millions of people living in it without being too crowded.

To be honest, such a huge and magnificent building cannot be compared with the cramped space of the Edge Node City, or the city built on the mine with satellite cities in the middle like the Furnace Node City.

"You noticed it too, right, um..." After passing a few bumps, Seifer let the car hit the ground, shaking slightly.

Yin Ya continued, "Such a massive project isn't intended to attract anyone to settle here, but rather a byproduct. Its primary task is to dig as deep as possible into the entire underground area, to a depth sufficient to shield against cosmic rays, and to unlock the anomaly."

"This is just a research site for studying anomalies. Theoretically, they could just dig a hole into the node city in the research area, but they managed to build a city."

This is the technological generation gap... No, this is just a crooked way of making things, right?

Cypher nodded noncommittally. With the exit just around the corner, he continued, "Then why are you still negotiating with them? If the technology is really that advanced, why hire mercenaries? Wouldn't it be better to just take over the Node City yourself?"

"That's the problem. The Reconstruction Agency doesn't care about these things, so they won't do anything specifically to deal with the autonomous machine rebellion."

"If we can find mercenaries, we'll find them. If we can't, we'll put it on hold. Similarly, even if they negotiate with companies like us, it's mainly because if we're determined to start a war, they won't be able to complete their work smoothly."

Sounds like some weird unconscious polymer organization.

Seifer parked the car at the gate of Node City, an area where a large number of rapid response personnel were stationed - the gate was not open because the huge shield machine was still wreaking havoc in the city.

The entire city is no different from tofu to it, it can be easily drilled through, and the carefully built structures are as fragile as plastic toys.

"Now that we see this thing, we probably understand... The transformation agency did put some things underground that we have no information about. It seems that the previous earthquake was also caused by this machine." Yin Ya sat in the car, looking at the long thing with deep eyes. The mercenaries below were attacking it in vain. Then, a sharp sound suddenly resounded throughout the node city.

The sound even made Cypher's ears close immediately, and the others also covered their ears instantly, with some painful expressions - but the most painful thing was obviously the long machine.

It suddenly stopped its random rolling movements, and the densely packed mineral drills on the front stopped abruptly, with its core flickering in and out like a heartbeat.

Then it plunged into the dilapidated node city and quickly disappeared with violent turmoil.

All that was left was a mess, with wounded people, trapped people and even innocent victims everywhere.

"It...ran away?"

During the communication, Laika also reminded that the reaction of the huge mass object disappeared and no one knew where it went.

Yin Ya suddenly pushed the door open and walked out: "This negotiation is not peaceful, Miss Red Crossbow, thank you for your help. Take these and go eat something good to calm your nerves."

Suddenly there is an extra 20,000 in the account... To be honest, Sefer is still doing his job now. It's very generous of him to give so much for a meal!

Cypher's favorability towards him increased a lot.

As for Feldridge, she let out a long breath and pushed the door open, looking at Sever with a complicated look in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by the bad expression she was used to.

"You've done well on the contract, but the negotiations aren't over yet. Wait for my call."

He then joined up with the Abian fighters who had come to join him and quickly left.

There were only two people left in the car, Sefer and Shengnai. He hesitated for a few seconds and found that no one seemed to tell him what to do. Suddenly, he had an epiphany.

Forget about the modification mechanism and other things for now, the key point is this car! It is quite sturdy and seems to have some self-driving function.

Moreover, the collision was already quite unsightly, and Yin Ya didn't say how to deal with it. Could he drive the car away?
Just when he was about to put his idea into practice, Yin Ya suddenly came over and knocked on the window politely.

"Ms. Red Crossbow, I recommend that you pilot the mecha now. The transformation agency will likely start sending out commissions to the mercenaries soon."

"This car is my personal property, but don't worry I'll charge you for repairs."

Saifu walked out regretfully and patted the car's A-pillar. "This car is quite comfortable to drive. How much is it?"

"It has no combat function."

"I'm just curious, can't you tell me?"

Yin Ya thought for a moment, then said with the same meticulous look, "If you consider the depreciation, you can buy it for around 1.3 million. You won't be disappointed."

Excuse me, farewell.
