With this belief, the bandits, who all had more or less ferocity and brutality in their hearts, immediately gathered here. For this action, they put aside all the hatreds in their hearts, big or small, and united to prepare to carry out this plan.

The organizer of this plan is none other than the leader of the 'Crazy Shark' bandit group, who is well-known even in the bandit world and is known as the number one bandit gang in the bandits: Crazy Shark!

That was before the Mirror was said to be destroyed. There still existed a kind of ferocious creatures that lived in a seemingly endless lake called the Ocean. They roamed in the Ocean and were feared by all marine creatures as the overlords of the Ocean. At the same time, they had an unusually sensitive sense of smell for blood. Once they smelled blood, they would rush towards their opponents from thousands of miles away and then tear them to pieces.

Crazy Shark learned about this knowledge and the existence of sharks from an ancient book, so he gave himself this name. In fact, he did not live up to his name.

In just ten years, the terrifying existence known as the Crazy Shark Bandits roamed the endless desert ruins, becoming not only a nightmare for scavengers and merchant groups, but also a nightmare for many other bandits, big and small.

After all, the ruins tell the true story of the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak. The only fate of the weaker bandits here is to surrender voluntarily and be swallowed up by more powerful bandits... or be destroyed!

The Crazy Shark is the kind of terrifying existence that will undoubtedly declare destruction to weak forces!

"Everyone, according to the latest intelligence, a new continental coalition meeting is about to be held at the ruined supply station, Tasna. Regarding this... does anyone present have anything to say?"

At this moment, when everyone was seated and the entire conference hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop despite the large number of people, the deputy leader of the Crazy Shark Bandits... a man who looked like an aristocrat dressed in a neat suit and had bright blond hair, asked these words to everyone present in a smiling tone. As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if he had opened a chatterbox, and noisy sounds suddenly rang out throughout the hall.

"What else is there to think about? Just rush in and kill all these people. Then we'll see which force dares to go against us sand bandits!"

"Are you an idiot? With so many leaders here, let's not even talk about whether we're even a match for each other. Just imagine if we kill them all, what if those forces unite to wipe us out? You want to die, but I don't!"

"What? They're just a declining force. How can they compare to us? We have more people than them, and the ruins are our world!"

"That's right, we've said we're going to encircle and suppress the enemy countless times, but has it ever been successful?"

"What are you afraid of? Just do it. Damn it, we 'Explosive Bears' are not afraid of death!"

"Why would you be a bandit if you're afraid of death? Put on your rags and become a scavenger!"

"It's just..."

"It's better to be cautious. After all, even if the three major forces are weakened, they are still the three major forces. If a real fight breaks out, we will suffer heavy losses regardless of whether we win or lose!"

"I think we must attack, but there's no need to kill them all. After all, our goal isn't to wipe them out completely, but to participate in this meeting openly and honestly, so that they will recognize our status as sand bandits!"

"That's right, just like the Mirror Organization... I heard that the Mirror Organization also sent people to this meeting. Damn it... They're clearly dark organizations, so why don't we Sand Bandits have the qualifications to participate?"

"Yes, yes, we must go. Not only that, we must go with the Bright Ones to show them that we are not much weaker than the Mirror Organization!"

The noises continued to echo throughout the entire hall. What started out as a very simple question turned into chaos amidst the cacophony of noises and discussions.

However, in this situation, no one in the area noticed that the elegant man who had spoken at the beginning had disappeared from his original position and was nowhere to be found.

And it was also amidst this incessant quarreling, with their bloodiness and the surging ambition in their hearts, that finally, after a series of arguments, the bandits sitting in this conference room gradually reached a consensus!

53. Calculation

The bandits who were originally invited to gather here were all fierce and ambitious guys. For them, those who dared to come here were obviously throwing their lives behind their backs. They cared more about interests and killing than these guys.

Therefore, despite the initial arguments, some people still suggested to be cautious or careful, or to rely on wisdom and recognize the status, etc., but after a series of arguments, the leaders of the sand bandits seemed to be provoked and quickly changed from their original "cautious" to "fuck him!"

In this way, they reached a consensus, and then the subsequent quarrels somehow turned into dividing the spoils and territories, as if they had returned victorious.

After all, the sand bandits are all greedy, so this aspect is more likely to make them argue fiercely.

And it was at this time, because the two bandit leaders were almost all red-faced because of the quarrel, and some were even ready to fight, but no one noticed that the deputy leader of the Crazy Shark Bandit Group who was originally responsible for presiding over the meeting had quietly left the meeting. After leaving the door, he turned and walked towards a hidden passage leading to the underground. After walking through many winding forks in the road, he finally came to a small electronic door.

The dilapidated electronic door was covered with moss and rust, and looked like an abandoned door that had been neglected for a long time. However, just before arriving at this door, the deputy leader Shark Tooth immediately took out an electronic card from his arms and swiped it lightly on the card reader next to the door that seemed to be broken.

"Om~~"

A faint red light shot out from a small hole in the doorway, and immediately turned into green light when it shone on Sharktooth's eyes. Then the next second, accompanied by a soft sound, the electronic door slowly opened.

After opening the door, Shark Tooth straightened his collar and walked in. A flash of light appeared and the moment he passed through the door, he seemed to have arrived in another world: outside was a rusty door and a dirty environment like a sewer, but inside the door was a completely strange scene!

The pure white metal walls seemed to be a whole piece without any gaps or cracks. The passage formed by the four walls above, below, left and right looked spotless and emitted a faint light.

After walking along such a passage for about two minutes, Shark Tooth came to another electronic door. However, compared with the previous one, this door looked incomparably new and grand.

"Stab it~~~"

There was nothing to verify this time. With Sharktooth's arrival, the door slowly opened to both sides, and the next second, a small conference room was revealed. It was clean and tidy, but also had an extremely gorgeous atmosphere: magnificent design, and the walls were covered with various paintings and writings that were unrecognizable but looked extremely precious.

The neatly arranged bookshelves are filled with ancient books that are rarely seen in today's ruined era; on the other side of the shelf are various items that are either cutting-edge machinery, magic props, or some antique objects that have been there for many years.

Beside the small long table in the center, about seven or eight figures were sitting on sofa chairs inlaid with gems of unknown luster and covered with soft silk leather. They were enjoying the tea and exquisite snacks in their hands. Behind them were no burly guards, but beautiful girls wearing simple cheongsams and holding teapots in their hands.

In such an enjoyable atmosphere that was more like a party than a meeting, Shark Tooth slowly walked in, walked around the people at the long table, and came to a man at the first seat with his back to the crowd. After nodding slightly at everyone, he lowered his head and whispered a few words to the figure with his back to the crowd.

"..."

It seemed as if even the air was silent for a moment. The next second, the soft sofa chair slowly turned, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man.

His elegant appearance made him look like a well-read scholar. If he wore a pair of glasses, no one would doubt that he was a senior university professor. He was wearing a suit made of rare and special material, but relatively ordinary compared to the people present who were dressed in gorgeous clothes. On his handsome face, he revealed a pair of eyes that seemed to have experienced many hardships but were full of brilliance.

"Okay, I understand. Let's calm them down first, and then... proceed according to the plan!"

He said this to Shark Tooth in a warm voice, and Shark Tooth nodded respectfully. After responding, he bent down and turned to leave. He had no intention of staying from beginning to end. After all, as the convener of the meeting, if he was absent for a long time, it would arouse the suspicion of others, which would obviously not be of any benefit to their subsequent plans.

"..."

Perhaps because of Shark Tooth's entrance, the entire conference room seemed incredibly quiet and peaceful. This atmosphere lasted until Shark Tooth left. When the large electronic door slowly closed again, the previously silent air inexplicably began to reveal a slight sense of tension... This lasted for about two minutes, and this feeling was finally relieved when the man sitting in the first seat, Crazy Shark, spoke:

"Everyone, the preliminary preparations are complete. Now... it's time for us to take action!"

It seemed to be the same as and yet different from the meeting above. In fact, the people sitting here were also sand bandits, but compared to the "arrogant elements" sitting above, the people here were obviously much more rational, and after hearing the words of Crazy Shark, everyone's eyes suddenly revealed a look full of calculation, from which it was clear that this group of people were not simple.

Of course, as to who this plot is aimed at...that is unknown!

Meetings were ongoing on both floors. It was unclear what Crazy Shark was discussing, but when Shark Tooth returned to the conference room, the discussion was undoubtedly coming to an end. He nodded in satisfaction and slowly walked back to his original seat, as if his previous departure was just a minor accident. He spoke in a casual and gentle tone:

"Well, it looks like everyone has already come to a conclusion. So, without further delay, let's act now while the various forces in Tasna haven't reacted yet!"

"Execute... the plan to wipe out the Continental Congress forces and spread the prestige of our... Sand Bandit Alliance!"

54. The real use of relaxation

There are naturally no green plants on metal planets. Even if there are, most of them are artificial imaginary or decorative. The existence of life in this world made entirely of machines and gears is obviously as far-fetched as a legend.

Naturally, due to the operation of the planet itself, although this planet does not receive real sunlight, it still feels as hot as a scorching summer under the illumination of artificial sunlight.

The high temperature is close to 40 degrees Celsius. If it were a human being, they would have died from the endurance. However, for mechanical life forms that are inherently heat-resistant, it is obviously not something they need to worry about. After all, in order to adapt to the heat, their sensory nerves have increased their resistance to heat, so they will not feel anything different about this "abnormal" weather.

Well, the above refers to the experience of the old machine. However, for the new machine, it seems that it is designed to be more like a human in some aspects. Therefore, she is obviously more human than a machine. In addition, there are fragments of human spirit that exist in her mind, which may have been captured from some dimension. As a result, she... has no heat resistance at all!

That’s right, this person is Red Ponytail, the only new type of machine on the mechanical planet!

At this moment, she was wearing a black, white and red tights that looked like a swimsuit. She had even taken off her armor and was slumped on a bench that looked like a park bench. She covered her eyes with her hands and gave off an aura of "I'm almost a dead fish".

This breath continued until a glass of ice-cold blue liquid was handed to her. She took it almost instinctively and felt the cold touch in her hand. Without thinking, Red Ponytail decisively opened her mouth and drank it all.

"Resurrection~~~"

After finishing the drink, he instantly jumped onto the chair, raised the cup in one hand and immediately made a declaration-like shout... In return, the surrounding machines looked at him as if caring for a mentally retarded child, and occasionally one or two of them began to contact the main brain.

"Yes, there's a machine with a seemingly malfunctioning data right here in Central Park..."

Maybe it's reporting something like this!

Fortunately, she was only in a state of immaturity for a short while. Soon, under the cooling of a drink of unknown liquid, the girl with red ponytail seemed to have finally recovered and jumped down from the chair. She turned around and saw Liuli, who had been sitting quietly by her side, drinking the drink in her hand silently and looking at her calmly.

"Uh... sorry, I got a little too excited!"

Realizing that he seemed to be on a date with a girl right now, and that his actions just now seemed a bit extreme, Red Ponytail immediately expressed his apology without thinking, but in return, he was met with the same puzzled tilt of his head as before:

"I don't mind!"

Instead of asking the usual question of "Why apologize?", she responded as if she had accepted Red Ponytail's apology. This shows how much she has grown during this period. However, looking at Red Ponytail who was sitting next to her, Liuli asked another question:

"Why do you seem so relaxed?"

Mechanical life forms don't have the feeling of being 'tired'. Even if they are in combat all year round, they will at most experience 'damage' or 'malfunction'. They have naturally never encountered anything like the inactive state after work. So thinking of Red Ponytail's dead fish look before, and seeing her current look as if she was completely relaxed, Liuli immediately became curious.

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

To this, Red Ponytail's answer was also full of excitement:

"After a series of intense and stressful work, there's nothing more relaxing than taking a good rest and taking a vacation, right~~"

Such a response is a reaction that only humans can have. However, Liuli is not human, so she just tilted her head and continued to express her dissatisfaction. Her expressionless face and cute eyes made her look inexplicably cute... I want to pinch her!

In fact, the red ponytail was indeed pinched, and because Liuli was almost used to Xiaobai's "touching" her from time to time, she did not question it. Instead, she rubbed the other's palm obediently... Habit becomes nature, and then her big eyes were still filled with the same doubts as before.

"why?"

"Well, even if you ask why..."

Relaxation is not something that should be taken for granted. Red Ponytail obviously didn't know how to respond to this question for a moment, but at this time, Liuli had already added her real question:

"According to the information, Xiaobai, you are free to choose your profession, or even choose no profession at all. I just detected a strong sense of relaxation in Xiaobai's mood. If that's the case, Xiaobai could just continue to relax like this. Why would you still want to fight?"

She honestly raised her doubts, which made Red Ponytail stunned for a moment. Then she smiled helplessly and suddenly said righteously:

"Of course, it's to protect the mechanical planet, the main brain, Liuli and Qiqi, and all mechanical life forms!"

"why?"

"Because this is my home, you are all my family!"

Well, the above is the answer from the new machine, the youngest sister in the entire mechanical life form family: Red Ponytail. Then, after finishing speaking, looking at Liuli who seemed to be stunned by her answer, Red Ponytail thought for a moment and immediately added:

"Of course, if there are other reasons, there are..."

"what?"

"Although relaxing is a very pleasant thing, it will become boring if it continues all the time. So, compared to constantly relaxing like this, don't you think that after a period of intense and intense work (battle), suddenly relaxing will make you feel much more relaxed both physically and mentally?"

"I'm not human!"

"...Okay, my analogy was inappropriate, my bad!"

"But... I can feel what Xiaobai meant by 'relaxation'!"

"Really? That's great!"

"..."

"So, do you want to continue? The vacation is three days long, it's still a long time!"

"……it is good!"

55. The Second-Class Chef Engraved in the Consciousness (Fragments)

Although we said we were going to continue, in fact we just wandered around this mechanical city which had long been transformed into a large logistics facility. Obviously, apart from sightseeing some technological products left by humans, there was nothing else to do.

After all, mechanical life forms do not need to eat and have no entertainment mentality. Therefore, those facilities that were once considered "useless" by the main brain and were originally provided for human sightseeing and entertainment have long been dismantled and used to make various weapons to resist silver.

According to the normal process, if a combat aircraft can survive a space war, then during the vacation period, it is basically a very monotonous process of returning to its own "factory" to repair equipment and replenish energy, etc., and then remain in hibernation until the next expedition. This is a normal phenomenon for them!

But at this time, under the guidance of the red ponytail, although Liuli had not yet entered the scene and some mechanical components in her body had already been loaded, and although the energy source prompted that her operating time was only a dozen hours, and although the two of them were now taking an aimless and meaningless walk (shopping), but looking at the red ponytail in front of her who was holding her hand, looking around with curiosity and showing an expression of amazement from time to time, Liuli finally silently swallowed the words she wanted to say.

"Liuli, is that a shooting range over there? Oh, no, it's a firearms training center... We're not going there to have fun, we're going to practice our firearms skills!"

Excited words came out of the mouth of the girl with red ponytail. With the combat navigation and the latest technology of tracking light weapons used today, firearms training has actually become a mere decoration. To be precise, the weapons called "firearms" have long been ornamental items like exhibits in a museum.

However, facing the expectant eyes of the girl with red ponytail, Liuli did not say it out loud. Instead, after a moment of silence, she finally nodded silently.

"Anything useful for the battle, good!"

"Yeah~~~ Let's go quickly!"

Pulling Liuli's hand, he rushed in impatiently. The method of using guns was undoubtedly fully stored in the database, but memory was just memory after all. When he saw the weapons displayed on the gun projection, the girl with red ponytail couldn't help but feel an urge to try it out.

"Tip: According to records, those who experience a certain compulsion for firearms are generally males. They seem to have a special liking for fighting and the use of guns in the smoke of gunpowder!"

As Liuli said this, her eyes couldn't help but look at the red-haired girl who was holding a pistol that seemed to be called "Desert Eagle" and posing continuously. In fact, the reason why she said this was because the other party seemed to have fallen into a state of frenzy after just firing a volley of bullets.

"Well~~ there's no rule that only boys like guns. Besides, I'm not human, I'm a mechanical life form!"

He said such words with confidence, and on this point Liuli... really couldn't refute it!

Liuli also had some knowledge of firearms, but it was clear that she had little interest in such outdated "antiques." Therefore, she simply stood aside like a follower, silently watching the black and white guns in her hands constantly going in and out of the mechanical puppet in front of her, and the red ponytail that kept ripping. Of course, she would also offer some constructive suggestions from time to time, such as...

"Judgment: The firearm in your hand is below average in terms of performance, firing rate, stability, and power. There are many firearms that can replace it with more powerful ones, even pistols. Furthermore, these two pistols are not compatible. Why did you choose this?"

The efficiency is too low, and there are many guns with better performance in terms of firing rate, stability, reload rate and various other miscellaneous data. More importantly, these two guns do not seem to be part of the same system. However, Red Ponytail fell in love with these two guns, one black and one white, at first sight after playing with the previous Desert Eagle, which made Liuli feel puzzled.

"Yeah, because they feel really good. Ebony, white ivory, and all that. I used to love using those two guns the most!"

She moved easily around the electronic warfare robots in the training ground, and the two guns in her hands fired bullets like rain of gunfire, accurately hitting the vital parts of their bodies. At the same time, after receiving Liuli's message, she replied casually as if she was not affected at all.

"Ebony? White ivory? There's no record of these two firearm models in the database. Also, according to my memory, it hasn't been more than seventy-two hours since you were born, so you can't form any memories of 'before'!"
