Chapter 191: The Robot ‘Czedow’ [Part 1]
“Hey Cary, what’s wrong?”
Xiao Shang got up and asked when he saw Cary instantly tensing himself into high alert mode.
At the same time, the rest of the people inside the room swiftly took out their weapons, fell into their best battle ready state and moved towards the entrance vigilantly.
Cold sweat formed on Cary’s forehead as he watched the stranger before him.
This person was absolutely not a member of the Sixth B Squadron. After so many years, Cary was very familiar with every person in the Sixth B Squadron. It didn’t matter if said person was a combat, technical or logistics personnel, because he had memorized them all in his head.
However, this person probably didn’t belong in the 3rd B Squadron either. Cary was sure that a person like this would’ve left an impression in his mind if he existed in the 3rd B Squadron. In fact, he thought that it was impossible to forget someone like this after the first meeting.
He had no breathing, no heartbeat, and no warmth. He didn’t possess any humanlike qualities other than the fact that he looked human from the outside. He felt just like an inanimate object…
The tip of Cary’s eyebrows rose.
Was he a robot acquired by the commander from Frentz?
But that couldn’t be right. Ever since they’d gone through that robot rebellion both squads had suffered bit of robophobia. Since no one could shake off the feeling that a robot was a hidden threat, they didn’t ask for a robot at all.
In that case, what on earth was this thing before them?
While Cary was staring closely at the stranger before him and was ready to react to anything, Xiao Shang and the others shown up behind Cary and saw the person standing before the entrance while wearing a gentle smile on his face. They could sense neither any malice nor humanity from the person at all.
Moreover, Xiao Shang discovered that their communicators had been completely cut off from the outside world. All signals had been completely lost.
What the h.e.l.l was going on around here?!
“Who are you?” Cary said in a heavy voice.
The rest of the group were holding weapons in their hands. They would attack without hesitation the second this person acted beyond the norm.
The person smiled warmly and raised his hand, “h.e.l.lo.”
A muscle twitched in Cary’s face. Was he asking for a handshake? But who would be stupid enough to shake hands with a complete stranger under such circ.u.mstances?!
Therefore, Cary continued to do nothing and ignored the person’s outstretched hand. As long as the guy before him didn’t try to do anything funny, he wouldn’t react carelessly as well.
The guy didn’t look angry in the slightest at Cary’s ignorance. He withdrew his hand but continued to wear a gentle smile on his face. He looked very sincere.
“h.e.l.lo, everyone. My name is Czedow.”
His voice was calm, unhurried and pleasant to hear.
“I don’t care what you’re called…”
Cary was interrupted before he could finish his sentence, “I know who you guys are. You’re Cary, Xiao Shang, Ba Dao…”
Czedow cast a glance at Cary and the rest of the people in the group, voicing their names one after another.
While everyone was watching Czedow attentively, Czedow nodded towards them and took a step towards Cary. A shadow jumped out of Czedow’s back at the same time.
“Walala~”
Cary nearly swung his light blade, and Xiao Shang and the rest nearly fired their guns due to the sudden voice that had came out of nowhere and the one step that had attracted all their attention while they were highly tensed.
“What the… f*ck!!”
For a second, Cary thought that his heart would jump out of his throat. He pointed a shaky finger at the head of a certain cat that had popped up from behind Czedow, “Y-y-y-y-you…”
Despite ‘you’-ing for a long time, Cary wasn’t able to spout anything coherent from his mouth and simply panted heavily where he stood. Xiao Shang and the others shared more or less the same reaction as him.
“We got them good, Cillin. Haha!” the gray cat said proudly on top of Czedow’s shoulder.
