You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 324: Mechanical Church Headquarters
Pulao cried for a while and then stopped.

I sat at the entrance of the corridor feeling lost, holding in my arms the head of the person who was still chattering.

The next morning, the Alpine Vulture flapped its wings and flew high. By noon, it had arrived at the headquarters of the Mechanicum.

This is an abandoned town. Half of the headquarters base is under the abandoned town, and the other half is hidden in the mountain.

After all, before the catastrophe, the Mechanicus was an illegal organization.

Pulao led everyone to his temporary residence, a warehouse in the small town that he had converted into a residential area.

According to him, there is strong firepower deployed at the entrance of the base, and if you want to go in, you have to notify the inside first.

When he came, he had already submitted the application, but no news had come yet.

Pulao said that the radicals and conservatives were probably still arguing, so they had to wait outside for a while and could go in after they came to a conclusion.

Chi Ping was also speechless about this.

How can it be that when crucial information is delivered to your door, you close the door and quarrel with each other?

Fortunately, Pulao is an optimist. Apart from not allowing Chi Ping to go to the base area, everything else is easy to negotiate.

Qingtou clamored for a mechanical body, and Pulao repeatedly tried to comfort him. He even found an old joystick game console in the town, repaired it, and showed it to everyone like a treasure.

In the end, only Chi Ping and Pulao were able to play by themselves, as Xiaoyun was not interested in children's toys.

By the next day, Pulao still hadn't received any news. Instead, Xiaoyun took Chi Ping to the rooftop of a building and pointed at a wisp of smoke rising from the distant town.

"Last night, he arrived here a little later than us," Xiaoyun said.

Before the catastrophe, meeting some passersby wouldn't be a big deal, but after the catastrophe, everyone looked at each other as gangsters.

There's nothing we can do, the environment is like this.

"Have you investigated?" Chi Ping asked.

Xiaoyun nodded: "Their leader is quite powerful, the others are average."

Ever since Xiaoyun tamed several A-level beasts, her vision has broadened. When she says "some strength" she means that the person is also A-level, and "others are average" means B and below.

Chi Ping nodded: "Are you from the Rebirth Society?"

"Not sure yet, do you want to get rid of them?"

After the catastrophe, resources were scarce and many organizations cancelled their uniforms and lost their team spirit, making it difficult to distinguish them based on appearance alone.

"Let's deal with it once it's confirmed." Chi Ping said.

Xiaoyun nodded.

Then Chi Ping heard the sound of "dengdengdeng" coming up the stairs, and suddenly half of a square head appeared on the platform:
"Let's play games!"

"Come."

With that, Chi Ping went downstairs, and then the two of them started BABABA.

So they played games at night and slept during the day. Xiaoyun was in charge of the food, while Chi Ping just had to eat. Aside from the fact that the place they lived in was a bit old, it didn't feel like the end of the world at all.

On the third day of this decadent period, with no news coming from inside, Qingtou was the first to lose his temper and became increasingly irritable.

Perhaps Pulao couldn't stand Qingtou's evil voice anymore, so he suggested going in first to take a look and urge them to wait, and asked Chi Ping and others to wait a little longer.

Chi Ping naturally agreed, so Pulao solemnly handed the green head to Chi Ping.

"Please take good care of him for me!" The expression on the small screen was very serious.

"Sure." Chi Ping was smiling, but Qingtou felt a chill.

"Take me in! You motherless lump of iron! You--" Qingtouzi cursed, but was quickly blocked by Chi Ping.

"This is one of my few good friends. You must take good care of him!" Pulao warned.

"I'll be right back." Chi Ping smiled. That day, as Chi Ping watched him leave, Pulao wept as he entered the base. "I'll be right back."

Five days later——

Ikehira couldn't bear it anymore.

As early as the day before yesterday, Chi Ping handed the green-headed head that was spewing foul language to Xiaoyun.

He said, "I remember you tamed a few big lions, right?"

Xiaoyun nodded, and Chi Ping pointed at Qingtou's head:
"The Lion Rolls the Ball. Lion, you already have it. This is the ball."

Xiaoyun understood clearly.

Pulao not only kept Qingtou, but also placed the other heads in his residence.

Before Pulao returned, Chi Ping naturally had to ensure that these still-breathing brains did not die. Fortunately, there were some equipment in Pulao's room that could maintain the brains' vitality.

At noon today, Xiaoyun suddenly found Chi Ping with a serious face.

"Sir, please come and have a look."

Her tone was different from usual, and her face was tense, obviously something serious had happened.

"Is it someone from the Rebirth Society?" Chi Ping asked.

"No." She said as she walked, "You'll know when you see it."

She took Chi Ping around and turned left and right until they arrived in front of a container.

"You know, Qingtou's human head is a little weaker in physical condition, and the ferocious beasts can't control their strength." Xiaoyun explained as they walked.

Chi Ping was a little surprised. Qingtou only had a head left, so what kind of physical condition did he need to have?
Then Xiaoyun continued, "When I found out, Qingtou was almost dead, so I wanted to find some first aid equipment to see if I could save him."

"And then?" Chi Ping asked. He felt that it didn't matter whether he was protected or not.

"Then, I found this place—" As she spoke, she yanked open the door of the container in front of her!

Then, a container was filled with withered heads.

When the door was locked, the heads were against the door. Suddenly it was opened and the heads rolled down!

These heads look like they've been around for some time, and appear to have undergone some sort of embalming process, with the skin on them appearing dull and dry.

Most of them lost their lives with their eyes closed, seemingly in a dream or hibernation.

A rough estimate shows that there are hundreds or even thousands of people in this container, right?
Could it be that Pulao is really a member of the Rebirth Society?

"Aren't these heads used to extract cerebrospinal fluid and establish emotional anchors?" Xiaoyun asked.

Chi Ping picked up a head and looked at it for a while.

There are no wounds on it. It must have died slowly after the energy supply stopped.

Since he didn't become a container for extracting cerebrospinal fluid, and died inexplicably here, does that mean that there's no need to establish an emotional anchor there anymore?

If it is not necessary, can it be proved that the radicals have taken over the entire base. The Chief has replaced the Pope?

At this point, there was still no news from Pulao. Chi Ping thought for a moment and said:
"I'll go over there. You wait for me outside."

Xiaoyun was a little afraid that the Reformed would come looking for him, but since Chi Ping had said so, he decided to stay. If the Reformed really came looking for him, he would take the Reformed with him into the base.

When it comes to a life-threatening situation, I'm sure Chi Ping won't blame her.

Because Pulao said that the security measures in the base are strict and any intruders will be attacked with firepower.

Fortunately, Chi Ping has two abilities to enhance his physical strength: [Body of Steel] and [Bone of Steel].

But when Chi Ping really appeared at the entrance, the tight security and fire attack that Pulao had mentioned did not happen.

Chi Ping's heart sank. Something happened to the church?
