The bed was instantly replaced by a stasis pod.
Gu Ya stored the entire stasis pod into his private space and burst out of the door.
This was a message from Sa Kuan!
He hadn't expected Fu Ya Fang's mission to progress so quickly, finding Hai Yang's whereabouts so soon!
The most urgent task now was to find Zhan Huo Wei and obtain some of Hai Yang's foundational technology from her.
Previously, Gu Ya had pieced together information about Hai Yang using various intelligence reports.
Now, it was time for verification.
With Huang Li missing, Zhan Huo Wei was the only one who knew!
Led by a guard, Gu Ya successfully found Zhan Huo Wei.
Pushing open the door, he saw the young lady with a pastry in her mouth, typing on a keyboard.
On the holographic screen, various technical reports on the "Quan Su Shen" (All-Body) modification technique were displayed.
"I ask, you answer!" Gu Ya sat beside Zhan Huo Wei and spoke quickly.
"Is the ultimate goal of the 'Quan Su Shen' modification technique you are researching to serve a technology called 'Hai Yang'?"
Zhan Huo Wei was startled, and then her expression turned grim!
It seemed Gu Ya hadn't guessed wrong; Wei still had something to hide!
Gu Ya earnestly persuaded, "You know, you can't go back. Now you should be loyal to me!"
Wei swallowed the last bite of the pastry, took a sip of water, and said, "I'm sorry, Gu Ya, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just... I was choked..."
"It is as you said, but I never expected you to know about 'Hai Yang'!"
"I have all the data for the 'Quan Su Shen' modification technique here!"
"Of course, I copied all the data from the research institute before escaping!"
"All the papers and data regarding Hai Yang's body structure are all with me."
Gu Ya was overjoyed!
"Excellent. Bring up the papers, I need to study them!"
Zhan Huo Wei froze and said, "There are as many as one hundred and fifty thousand papers and experimental reports!"
"By the time you finish studying them, Hai Yang will have gone through several generations of updates!"
Gu Ya urged, "Stop talking nonsense, bring them up quickly. My learning speed is different from ordinary people!"
Zhan Huo Wei very nimbly began to retrieve the files.
On the holographic display, electronic files stacked up, eventually forming a magnificent tree diagram!
Starting from the most basic research reports,
There were eighty thousand in the first layer!
To understand the theories and knowledge of the previous layer, one had to thoroughly grasp these eighty thousand reports.
Zhan Huo Wei herself was unsure; the foundational documents for her research on the "Quan Su Shen" modification technique only accounted for 20%!
The remaining 80% included some "Double Ring" human experiments.
Of course, the vast majority was research on consciousness lifeforms.
"Wei! You have served me well! After I eliminate Hai Yang and Hei Xing, I will fulfill any wish you have!"
Gu Ya said with surprise, preparing to begin his study.
"Uh, hehe..." Zhan Huo Wei gave an embarrassed laugh, 138 Reading Network.
Not to mention Gu Ya's empty promises, if he could learn all of this, it would be enough to astound Zhan Huo Wei for a lifetime!
This was the result of over a decade of hard work by hundreds of top researchers in the institute.
The research funding alone could buy a city!
"Hei Yang!!" Gu Ya shouted, tearing open his jacket with a "swoosh," adjusting his spirit to the optimal state.
Hei Yang instantly materialized and said seriously, "Master, Hei Yang is always in a combat-ready state!!"
Gu Ya opened his private space and dragged out the stasis pod containing Ye Ying.
"Bai Ying!" Gu Ya's excitement grew,
He could feel every brain cell in his body vibrating!
After a flash of light, Bai Ying appeared beside Gu Ya in the form of an android!
A loli about ten years old, with silver hair and white eyebrows, even her pupils were white.
She was stunning at first glance, clearly no ordinary being.
Hei Yang said proudly, "Master, I used the principle of storing consciousness lifeform instruments in the research institute to create a body for Bai Ying!"
"Magnificent!" Gu Ya shouted in exhilaration.
With everything ready, Gu Ya commanded, "Hei Yang, you will focus on the 'Quan Su Shen' modification technique. After the research is complete, immediately transition to the 'Double Ring' human experiments."
"Bai Ying, you will assist me in researching consciousness lifeforms!"
Bai Ying blinked her large eyes and said emotionlessly, "Understood."
"Let's begin and strive to master Hai Yang's structural technology as quickly as possible."
Zhan Huo Wei gently picked up the pastry box from the table and quietly retreated from the room.
As soon as she stepped out, she encountered Zhan Huo Ji, who was rushing over in a hurry.
"Is Gu Ya inside?" Zhan Huo Ji shouted.
Wei quickly covered her brother's mouth and whispered, "Shh! Gu Ya is currently working on 'Hai Yang's' foundational technology."
But Zhan Huo Ji remained very anxious, clearly having encountered an insurmountable difficulty.
"What's wrong, brother?" Wei asked.
Zhan Huo Ji said, "Intelligence reports that a Black Star army of twenty thousand mechs is gathering towards Shanhai City! They are expected to arrive 100 kilometers outside the city in five hours."
"We still don't know Black Star's specific combat objective."
"However, Black Star has deployed an organized army to threaten the Xianxia enclave."
"This situation is very rare. I must report it to Gu Ya immediately!"
Wei stopped Zhan Huo Ji and calmly said, "Brother, if a war were to break out now, and you were to disturb Gu Ya, I wouldn't say anything."
"But Shanhai City is garrisoned by thirty thousand mech troops, its defenses are strict, and it's backed by Xianxia."
"If I'm not panicking, why are you?"
Zhan Huo Ji's emotions stabilized slightly, and he said, "I want to figure out if Black Star's abnormality is related to Gu Ya's plan."
Wei glanced at the closed alloy gate and said, "Honestly, brother, I'm not optimistic about Gu Ya."
"The difficulties are as high as mountains, yet Gu Ya is alone."
"But for now, we can only choose to believe in Gu Ya, and believe in ourselves!"
Zhan Huo Ji nodded, patted Wei on the shoulder, turned around, and left with his men.
Wei took a new box of pastries from a servant, gently pushed open the door, and walked in.
At this moment, Gu Ya was sitting by the workbench, eyes closed, fast asleep!!
And the two androids that were originally beside him had also disappeared!!
Zhan Huo Wei struggled internally for a long time, ultimately choosing to trust Gu Ya and not disturb him.
"Gu Ya, will you bring us surprise or disappointment..."
Time flowed like fine sand.
The Black Star army arrived an hour earlier, one hundred kilometers south of Shanhai City, and deployed in a large group army offensive formation.
All heavy defensive mechs were in the front,
Light combat mechs were arrayed on the flanks of the formation,
The main battle medium mechs were tightly packed in the center of the formation,
Long-range firepower units hovered in the sky, their weapons kept in hot standby, ready to unleash city-destroying firepower at any moment.
Zhan Huo Ji stood on the top floor of the command center, looking at the neatly arrayed and well-prepared Black Star army in the holographic image.
His heart was in his throat.
The report to Xianxia had been sent.
Currently, the senior leadership of Xianxia was discussing and researching countermeasures.
But the enemy was right before them, and they looked ready to strike.
By the time those "old relics" came up with a strategy, Shanhai City would probably be engulfed in flames!
"Sir, all troops are on high alert. Eight thousand vanguard troops have exited the city and formed the first line of urban defense," the adjutant said from behind.
Zhan Huo Ji nodded and said, "Notify all soldiers."
"We stand with the city!"
...
Inside Shanhai City, Wei also felt the tense atmosphere permeating the air.
All residents entered protective facilities for shelter.
The reinforcement of the outer walls of all buildings was halted, and construction machinery was converted into armed mechs and integrated into the defending forces.
The defensive weapons for urban defense in each building were all revealed, their firing directions shifted to face outside the city.
The great battle seemed imminent!
Wei turned to look at Gu Ya, who was still "sleeping," and sighed heavily.
The fifth hour had arrived.
It was time to wake Gu Ya.
As the world's top combat power, his presence would greatly increase the probability of victory!
Zhan Huo Wei made up her mind and walked quickly behind Gu Ya.
Just as she was about to place her hand on Gu Ya's shoulder to wake him,
Gu Ya suddenly opened his eyes!
At the same time, the stasis pod made a sound.
The hatch opened, and Ye Ying sat up from the pod.
Zhan Huo Wei said urgently, "Gu Ya, forget about 'Hai Yang' for now! Shanhai City might be invaded by Black Star soon..."
Gu Ya raised his hand to interrupt Zhan Huo Wei and pulled Ye Ying out of the stasis pod, saying calmly, "I know."
"I have fully grasped all the technology for Hai Yang's basic structure."
"Now, I am confident I can kill Hai Yang. I can even create a perfect Hai Yang."
"What!!" Zhan Huo Wei exclaimed in shock!
