Olivia arrived at the ind, sensing a subtle change in its atmosphere. Though the scenery remained the same, the robots that once popted the ind were conspicuously absent. Normally, upon leaving the ind, one would encounter some robot spies.
Near the ind, numerous ships were anchored, many belonging to foreign private armed organizations and mercenaries. This indicated that a significant number of people hadnded on the ind.
What had happened?
“Ethan, is there something wrong?” Olivia wondered. Despite Louis’s intention to perform body modifications on him, she still hoped he could survive. A great scientist, a leader in every field, his death would be an immense loss.
“Liv, don’t worry,” Ethan quickly reassured her. “Although there are people on the ind, it doesn’t seem to be a major problem at the moment.”
The presence of so many ships implied they had brought heavy weapons, yet the ind’s flowers, nts, and buildings remained intact.
“No, there aren’t that many people on this ind. Most of them are robots. By the way, where’s big brother?” Olivia suddenly remembered that her elder brother hade to the ind a few days ago for treatment. Unable to contain her anxiety any longer, she ran off.
On her way, she encountered a robot barely clinging to life, its internal electricity crackling. Olivia quickly asked, “Where is Louis?”
The robot, unable to speak, disyed two words on its electronic screen: Back Mountain.
The back mountain was the only ce Olivia was forbidden to approach, as Louis had not granted her permission. There must be a huge secret hidden there!
Olivia dashed frantically towards the back mountain, passing numerous fallen robots and humans along the way. The mechanical door at the entrance had been forcibly destroyed. Olivia was stunned. Was Louis alright? Despite his many robots, the intruders had brought so many people.
Her heart raced with worry. She still had feelings for her master, who had cured her cancerpletely. The thought of losing the great scientist, the old man singrly devoted to research and invention, was unbearable.
As Olivia quickened her pace, she heard a familiar voice. “Grandfather!”
Was that her eldest brother’s voice? But who was he calling?
Logically, their real grandfather was with the Heath family and couldn’t be here. The only other possibility was Mr. Fordham. Hadn’t he been buried recently? What was going on?
“Be careful, Liv,” Ethan warned, standing protectively in front of her. But Olivia no longer cared about the risks and rushed through the passage.
What she saw left her speechless. A woman, sleeping quietly in an electronic transparent container made of unknown material, bore a 70% resemnce to Olivia, with a mole at the corner of her eye. She looked slightly more mature than in old photos, yet her face was unlined.
It was her dear grandmother, Ms. Nat. Hadn’t she died long ago? Why was she here?
Unease gripped Olivia. Her master had spoken of a n to transform humans, and she was the target of this n. Could it be that he wanted to resurrect her grandmother?
More rming was the sight of Mr. Fordham, who, though long buried, appeared healthy and vigorous. How could he look so well after years of illness?Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
What grand scheme were these old men concealing from the world? Clearly, it involved her deceased grandmother.
Robots and mercenariesy scattered on the ground, and Louis’s simted robotic arm was broken, leaking electricity.
