"I swear, I really didn't know that he had other spies in the company," Qiu Ming said with a wry smile. "Even though we've been in contact all these years, he hasn't told me anything about this."

"No, this is something I should have thought of long ago," Zhang Heng said. "When he was on the second floor, he sent out a whole team of exoskeleton warriors. They were all equipped with the latest generation military exoskeleton equipment. Obviously, someone was secretly supplying him with these sophisticated weapons. In addition, we may have underestimated his armed forces beyond the first floor. It seems that he doesn't only have that one team. If that's the case, then everything can be explained."

"What makes sense?"

"According to you, he once broke into Morgan's base and fought with these Type-VI Hunting Robots, so others wouldnt know of their existence. There's, however, no reason for him not to know. Therefore, it's impossible for him to exclude the influence of these robots when he launched this riot. No, to be more precise, his target is most likely these robots."

Qiu Ming reacted, "You mean to say that he deliberately used a riot to attract these robots to the first floor because he knew very well that the management could not tolerate a long period of unrest on the first floor? If that's the case… now is also the time when the defense of the base is at its weakest. There is only one robot and about 200 security guards there. As long as there are two exoskeleton teamss, they can break into the base."

"But what is their target?" Qiu Ming frowned. "The most valuable and well-guarded place inside the base is the memory encoder. There are several teams of guards guarding it, and at critical moments, they can cut off the power supply and use a metal wall to completely seal it. They can even destroy it remotely."

"It's not the memory encoder," Zhang Heng said. "He already has the memory encoder. It's on the drone just now."

"The thing he got through the transaction is the memory encoder?" Qiu Ming gasped. "Is his target the management of the company in New Shanghai 0297? He wants to re-encode the management's memory?

"Indeed, this is his only way out. He incited the residents of the first floor to fight against the company. No matter how you look at it, there is no chance of victory. Even if he really is the military god that leads a group of civilians who have not received strict military training, he used the light weapons he produced to eliminate all the Type-VI's. He severely crippled the management's armed forces in New Shanghai 0297, but he was unable to deal with the attack from the magnificent Tang Morgan headquarters. Most importantly, he hid the true truth of new Shanghai 0297 from his subordinates. He certainly doesn't want to really attack the fifth floor's magnificent Tang Morgan's secret base."

Qiu Ming suddenly thought of something and his expression changed, "Since he knows that I'm with you, he must know that we've already guessed his plan. No wonder he doesn't want to meet with you. Besides, he's dealing with the management now, so he put us aside. When he's done with the matter at hand, he'll definitely turn around and deal with us. We have to leave the first floor as soon as possible. No, it's best to leave new Shanghai 0297. We can go to the Shengtang Morgan's headquarters to find my uncle and tell him what's happening here."

"Or we can try to solve the problem ourselves," said Zhang Heng lightly. "I still have friends on the first floor. Once Shengtang Morgan's headquarters decides to intervene, not only will Mr. G suffer, but my friends will also be implicated. Also, do you know how Shengtang Morgan will deal with us in the future?"

"Your friend? Is it that woman just now? But between you and Mr. G, she seems to be more willing to believe the latter. Haven't you already tried? Do you have any other way to convince her?"

Zhang Heng shook his head. "I won't try to convince anyone else, so let's stick to my original plan."

"Original plan?" Qiu Ming was a little confused. If Feng Zi were here now, he would've probably understood what Zhang Heng meant.

"I'll kill Mr. G and help him turn the beautiful new world that he's been promoting into reality." Zhang Heng used the calmest tone to say these earth-shattering words.

"Are you crazy?! Just the two of us? Here? How are we going to deal with Mr. G and his men?" Qiu Ming suspected that something was wrong with his ears. "We don't even know where he is right now. You said yourself that since he's using a drone to deliver goods, he doesn't want you to know his location."

"It's okay. I've installed a locator in the memory encoder's metal barrel," Zhang Heng said as he opened the electronic map on his wristband. Sure enough, he saw a red dot constantly changing its position, moving toward the east of the city. "As for manpower and weapons, don't we have a ready-made helper?"

Qiu Ming looked in the direction of Zhang Heng's chin and saw the hunting robot standing quietly at the side.

This robot was quite loyal to Qiu Ming. It followed the command of the SUV all the way here.

"You want to control this robot to fight for You?"

"Why not? I've seen the structure of the same type of robot I killed before. The other structures and systems might be more complicated, but it's still quite easy to reprogram the signal receiver. However, I still need to find someone who can control it remotely."

"How am I doing?" Qiu Ming queried.

In the end, Zhang Heng only glanced at him and didn't say anything.

"Alright, it seems that even after everything we've been through, the trust between us hasn't reached this level yet." Qiu Ming was still very self-aware.

"I already have a candidate for the operator. Let's go meet up with her first. Also, we need her help with the modification of this robot."

…..

Zhang Heng didn't drive the car that supervisor Zheng left behind. Instead, he and Qiu Ming walked two streets to find another car. After that, they rushed to a small factory. Feng Zi was already waiting there, poking her head out from the roadside. A sneaky look was on her face.

Upon seeing the hunting robot, she immediately yelped in surprise. As if she had seen a beloved toy, she couldn't wait to surround it. However, because she was too close to it, the robot aimed the heavy machine gun on its left arm at her.

Seeing this, Feng Zi took two steps back, but there wasn't much fear on her face. Instead, she clicked her tongue in wonder, "I used to draw my own designs when I had nothing better to do, so I did draw something similar. I didn't expect that Shengtang Morgan to have already mass-produced it. The technological prowess of a large corporation is certainly a lot more than what's on the surface."

"We're in a hurry. Have you found the thing?" Zhang Heng interrupted her and asked straightforwardly.

"I've found it. It's a tungsten steel plate, 5cm thick. It's definitely not as good as the original, but it can still be used."Feng Zi grinned.

"Well then. Let's begin, shall we?"
