Cut off my way home? You'll sacrifice the entire other world in return!

The guards instinctively took a step back.

No one dared to fire.

In this world, violence is the only acceptable form of communication.

The person who can tear apart a military prosthetic body with his bare hands is definitely not someone these gatekeepers can afford to mess with.

They only make a few dollars a month; it's not worth it for them to play around like this.

Besides, the machine has already been approved.

In this machine-centric city, the logic of machines reigns supreme.

Li Fan strode confidently into the VIP passage.

His shadow stretched long under the searchlight.

The moment Li Fan stepped through the city gate.

The back-end of the security inspection machine.

A stealthy scanning program is in operation.

This is not directed at objects, but at living organisms.

An invisible beam of light swept across Li Fan's body.

[Bioanalysis complete]

Race: Homo sapiens (purebred)

[Prosthetic modification rate: 0%]

Bone density: Exceeds standard (cannot be measured)

Muscle strength: Exceeds the standard (cannot be measured)

[Energy reaction: ???]

[WARNING! No matching sample found in the database!]

[WARNING! This individual poses a significant threat!]

[Data is being uploaded to the central master network...]

The heart of Iron Fortress.

A black spire, a thousand meters high, pierces the sky.

This is the brain of the entire city, and also the location of Skynet.

At the very top of the spire, countless data points flow across a holographic screen.

A red alert pop-up window occupied the center of the screen.

[An unusual individual has been detected.]

Location: South Gate VIP Access.

An electronic voice echoed in the empty hall.

"A purebred human... ...destroying a military cybernetic body with bare hands?"

"The energy reaction is unknown?"

A mechanical eyeball drooped from the ceiling, its pupil contracted, staring intently at the screen as Li Fan walked through the city gate.

"This fluctuation..."

"It's very similar to that record from a thousand years ago..."

"Could it be... that the sample has been revived?"

"No, it's a new sample."

The mechanical eyeball moved slightly.

"Notify the Cult of the Machine God to send an Executioner squad to make contact."

"If it's true..."

"That is the perfectly evolved prototype."

"Bring it back."

"slice."

…………

Li Fan was unaware that he had been targeted by the highest authority in this city.

Or perhaps he knew but didn't care.

He was walking on the streets of the lower town of Ironburg.

It's more chaotic, dirtier, and more lively here than outside.

The narrow streets were crowded with all sorts of illegal buildings.

The neon lights flashed blindingly, and the signs read "Prosthetic Limb Repair," "Brain-Computer Interface Cleaning," and "Cheap Synthetic Meat."

The air was filled with a mixture of cheap lubricant and barbecue smells.

Pedestrians on the street hurried along, each with their hands on their weapon pouches and their eyes wary.

Li Fan weaved through the crowd.

He had no purpose, but he was very hungry.

It's not that I'm hungry; it's that every cell in my body is craving energy.

Although he had just thrown away the robotic arm as a ticket, the few drops of energy liquid that flowed from the broken end made him even hungrier.

"We need to find a place to source our goods."

Li Fan muttered to himself.

Just then, a lewd voice came from the alley next door.

Hey, friend.

"Judging by your build, you must be new here?"

"Want something good?"

Li Fan turned his head.

A short man with four mechanical arms was waving at him from the shadows.

He had a sign hanging around his neck with two words scrawled crookedly in paint.

【Battery】.

Li Fan's eyes lit up.

He smiled, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.

"OK."

"I'm starving."

Li Fan walked into the dark alley.

It's like a hungry wolf walking into a flock of sheep.
