“What? They’re fighting outside?”

After hearing Nolan’s report, Hao Ren jumped out of his chair at once.

Nolan had already guessed Hao Ren’s reaction. “Go out and have a look. They’re still busy fighting.”

“How come they fight all of a sudden?” Hao Ren knew that Nolan was not joking, but he could not understand. “I thought that N-6 knows those guys out there, how come they fight instead… What’s going on out there?”

“I had the shield on, and N-6 didn’t leave the area of the shield, so what happened was that a dozen fighters outside were attacking my shield with something as powerful as a water cannon, and N-6 was standing behind the shield, looking stunned… It was pretty chaotic, but no one was hurt.”

“Go and have a look!”

N-6 was not alone, Hao Ren also arranged the Nangong siblings to accompany her to appear together. The original plan was to first let N-6 greet their compatriots, let them put down their weapons and agree to exchange, followed by the nice Nangong siblings, and then finally, Hao Ren and the rest of them, but this plan failed from the very beginning. The armed force launched a surprise attack before the Nangong siblings even had the chance to read out the first word of the speech. Fortunately, the shield system of the Petrachelys had been regenerated completely, and all the fire had been blocked out, but the noise still scared the poor siren girl into a ball. When Hao Ren arrived, she had coiled up into a ball, shaking in the back of the hatch.

A dozen men in black combat suits, holed up in the forest on the edge of the crater where the spaceship had crashed, fired random shots at the Petrachelys’ side armor belts from a higher place. Their weapons were electromagnetic rifles and light plasma cannons. These were powerful weapons for a normal planetary civilization, but as harmless as the tip of Wuyue’s tail to the thick energy shield of Petrachelys.

They could only create large amounts of light and shadow in the air tens of meters around the spaceship.

N-6 ducked back into the hatch as soon as the attack began. She was also confused by the sudden attack, and her logic circuit nearly overloaded and burned. She saw familiar faces among the attackers and tried to call out for a ceasefire, but it did not work.

“What’s going on here?” Hao Ren came to N-6, asked in bewilderment.

“I don’t know.” The robot girl shook her head. “They suddenly started attacking me when they saw me. I tried to talk to them, but they ignored me.”

“Do you know them?” Vivian asked, frowning.

“I know a few of them”, N-6 said, looking out cautiously. “The one leading the team is N-4, and there wre also two mates whom I see often, TD-22 and TD-26.”

“Did you do anything bad to them when you were at your base, so bad that their first reaction when they saw you was to fight with you,” Nangong Sanba asked. Hao Ren gave him the side-eye and told N-6, “Just ignore his question.”

“In short, let them cease fire first.” Vivian frowned and looked out of the spaceship. The attack was not a threat to Petrachelys, but they did not weaken their attack at all, which is a bit of a nuisance. “God knows what they are thinking… Talk to them first. If that doesn’t work, you’re going to have to anesthetize them.”

Hao Ren nodded, walking to the hatch together with Vivian.

In the bushes on the edge of the forest, N-4 was unloading the empty steel nail magazine and pushing the new one into the buckle of the electromagnetic rifle, looking anxiously in the direction of the spaceship.

The spaceship had a powerful shield system. This was unexpected, but it was not going to rattle N-4 much. From the start, she did not expect to be able to fight a seemingly superior spacecraft with a dozen or so individual weapons. She was hoping to determine the state of N-6, but the confirmation only made her more worried.

The ‘N-6’ was screaming for a ceasefire at the start of the attack. However, the special identification keys sent by N-4 and the members of the team were not answered. It all indicated that the one that came out of the spaceship was a fake, modified by aliens.

The aliens obtained N-6’s remains, but could only imitate her appearance and superficial memory. They were not aware of the existence of the emergency identification protocol, so they missed the point.

N-4 thought her judgment was perfectly correct.
