Dozens of mechs surrounded this mech at this moment.
Judging by their appearance, these were all Xianxia mechs.
A portrait appeared on the left side of the screen, asking, "What's going on? Why did you stop moving forward?"
As one pilot was about to speak, another pulled him back and said to the person on the screen, "It's nothing... We're just conducting routine checks on the mech's status."
"Finish checking and fly quickly, everyone is waiting."
The communication was cut off. The pilot who spoke said in a low voice, "We're just transporters. As long as the goods are delivered, what happens afterward is none of our business."
After speaking, the two looked at Gu Ya simultaneously.
Gu Ya now had a more radical plan. He spread his hands, leaned back into the pilot's seat, and said in a low voice, "As you wish..."
...
The mech broke through the last layer of clouds.
A very colossal mech was hovering directly overhead.
Its limbs were extended, and countless thrusters on its body were emitting flames steadily, like a floating city.
The giant mech, over two hundred meters tall, that had flown up from Zhuo Yuan City, was like a squirrel in a hunter's hand in front of it.
Gu Ya stared at the behemoth overhead with disbelief. He couldn't even see the full profile of this mech.
"This is the real Zhuo Yuan City..." Gu Ya murmured.
A pilot said with a smile, "Yes. Only the most outstanding scientists and high-ranking politicians can come here."
"After we deliver the goods, we can only stay in the cockpit. Specialized personnel will transport the cargo hold."
"Young man, I don't know what you've done, but good luck."
The mech slowly ascended.
The super-large mech loomed like a sky-supporting canopy, gradually covering the field of vision.
On its body, over a dozen armor plates separated in pairs, revealing docking bays that were just large enough to accommodate this mech.
The two pilots began to maneuver with great concentration.
The mechs of different sizes slowly docked.
System prompts sounded frequently, and various parameters changed in an orderly fashion.
After a few minutes, the docking was finally complete.
The two pilots breathed a sigh of relief. When they turned to look again, the seats were empty.
Gu Ya returned to the dark cargo hold, hid in a corner, and waited quietly.
The cargo hold began to vibrate slightly, likely being moved by something large or on a transport belt.
After a few minutes, the cargo hold stopped vibrating and settled steadily.
A puffing sound of gas was heard, and the alloy gate opened, allowing soft white light to shine in.
Two people stood at the entrance. They glanced inside, were stunned for a moment, and then immediately rushed out.
Gu Ya seized the opportunity to crawl out of the cargo hold, put on another set of camouflage he had prepared, and wandered around leisurely.
Although he knew he was inside a giant mech,
he felt no turbulence, but rather as if he were walking on level ground.
Neat alloy encased the corridors, and soft lights illuminated every corner. Every so often, an alloy gate appeared.
Outside the windows, it was pitch black, with stars like a painting and the moon hanging high in the sky.
Occasionally, he encountered one or two pedestrians, all looking down at the holographic screen in front of them, walking steadily.
Suddenly, a group of men in black holding guns rushed towards him.
Gu Ya adopted the same demeanor as the other pedestrians, lowering his head in thought and walking forward quickly, ignoring these people.
This group easily overlooked Gu Ya and ran towards the cargo hold.
"If I keep wandering like this, I'll eventually be suspected. I need to find someone to ask," Gu Ya thought. "I can now confirm that the people who captured him are some of the powerful figures in Zhuo Yuan City."
"As for the purpose, it must be related to my father."
"The other party could easily mention 'Gu Xingchi' and capture me so confidently, which means they must have obtained intelligence."
"If that's the case, I should look in the relevant departments."
Gu Ya casually pulled over a pedestrian and asked in a low, serious voice, "Which way to the department for gene research?"
The woman, in her early thirties, who was stopped, looked puzzled and shook her head, saying, "I don't know. Maybe you should look in the technology district."
Gu Ya slapped his forehead, realizing his mistake. "Oh, I was so lost in thought that I forgot to watch where I was going. Where is this, beautiful big sister? I've never been here before."
The woman was amused by Gu Ya's cuteness and politeness. She smiled slightly and said, "This is the administrative district. Just head back the way you came, follow the signs."
Gu Ya nodded his thanks politely again. The woman glanced down and quickly walked away.
"If I go back the way I came, won't I have to pass by the cargo hold again?"
Gu Ya narrowed his eyes, caught up with the woman, and feigned ignorance, asking, "Big sister, I'm terrible with directions. Could you please lead the way?"
The woman smiled politely and agreed.
With this woman as cover, those people should lower their guard.
As expected, a group of men in black holding guns had gathered near the cargo hold. There were also some people in white lab coats. They were surrounding the cargo hold, their expressions exceptionally serious, as if something unexpected had happened.
Two men in black merely glanced at Gu Ya and let them pass.
"Alright, it's just a bit further. Bye-bye, little brother. Remember to watch where you're going next time~" the woman said with a sweet smile and turned to leave.
Gu Ya said "Thank you" and walked forward quickly.
As he walked, Gu Ya rubbed the wall with his palm, activating [Code Tampering].
Good heavens, the code for this behemoth was immense. Just the stable hovering program alone had hundreds of thousands of lines, with data detection and automatic adjustment actions taking up more than half of it.
There were also over a million sensor programs,
as well as various communication protection, fault protection, fault stop, emergency stop, total shutdown, and five-level braking programs.
There were also numerous code protection programs to prevent unauthorized tampering, but for Gu Ya, it was child's play.
No matter how difficult the defense code was to decipher, in front of Gu Ya, it was like a two-dimensional creature entering a three-dimensional world.
Of course, the code Gu Ya saw was just the tip of the iceberg.
Even this much made Gu Ya dizzy.
"I won't tamper with it for now," Gu Ya murmured. After all, this was important property of Xianxia, and there was no need to damage it.
Gu Ya continued to walk forward. His stomach started growling again. He hadn't eaten all day, and he had fainted twice, so his brain could no longer concentrate.
Coincidentally, a restaurant appeared ahead. Gu Ya didn't hesitate and went in.
There weren't many people here; they were all dining alone.
By the counter, a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old was staring at the holographic ordering board, unsure what to choose.
Gu Ya raised his wristband, swiped it across the counter, and casually ordered two large meals.
A few minutes later, a slot opened in the counter, and two large meals rose from below.
Gu Ya's eyes turned green with hunger, and he stared intently at the food, his mouth watering with happiness.
Just as he found a seat and was about to enjoy the feast, /
the girl who had been ordering sat down opposite Gu Ya.
"Um, big brother, can you give me your portion to eat?" the girl asked.
"Huh?" Gu Ya was bewildered. "But I paid for this."
He heard the two pilots say that people here were either rich and powerful or famous scientists.
This girl, by all appearances, looked like the daughter of some important figure. Why would she not have money to eat?
The girl smiled shyly at Gu Ya and said sweetly, "Mom and Dad are out, and we've run out of money, hehe." After saying that, she unceremoniously pulled one of the meal trays towards herself, opened her mouth, and started eating.
As she ate, she said, "I'm not eating for free. I'll repay you."
Gu Ya was initially annoyed, but when he heard she would repay him, he thought about it and asked, "Do you know where the gene research department is?"
The girl nodded, swallowed a mouthful of food, and said, "It's right next to my house. I'll take you there after I finish eating."
That was more like it. Gu Ya hastily finished one meal, ordered another, and ate it all.
By then, the girl had finished eating. She casually wiped her mouth with her sleeve and said happily, "Let's go!"
"Big brother, which district do you live in?" the girl asked with a smile on the way.
Gu Ya casually replied, "The administrative district."
"Ah~" the girl exclaimed with regret. "People from the administrative district are so stuffy, but you're quite approachable." Saying that, she put her arm around Gu Ya's arm, naturally leaning against him.
Gu Ya forcefully pulled her hand away and warned in a low voice, "You probably don't want to bribe administrative personnel, do you?"
The girl smiled sweetly and said, "You don't look like an administrative personnel at all. You seem more like a scientist, like my parents, hehe."
"Is that so..." Gu Ya didn't want to deal with her anymore and wanted to get to his destination quickly and leave. If he continued to ask questions, he would surely reveal a flaw.
"Big brother, what's your name~" the girl asked happily.
Gu Ya said lightly, "Jude."
"Oh~ what a rare surname. Hehe. My surname is also very rare. My father said that in Xianxia, only a few thousand people have this surname," the girl said.
She seemed to be very happy all the time, carefree, and Gu Ya even envied her a little.
He really hoped that Youyou could be as carefree and happy as her.
"Then what's your surname?" Gu Ya asked casually.
The girl smiled slightly and said, "My surname is Gu, and my name is Gu Youran~"
