Chapter 1012: With the map fully unlocked, how could I lose?

Not long after.

Without any warning, a mysterious and treacherous figure appeared silently out of thin air at the heavily guarded Mechanical Alliance headquarters.

During this process, the uninvited guest, wearing a specially made combat suit, had a layer of night-like barrier lingering on his body, completely concealing himself in a mass of darkness and shielding himself from surrounding detection.

This figure was none other than Qi Yuan, who had come to steal the [ancestor module]. Relying on the System's teaching function, he successfully bypassed the ubiquitous mechanical guards on the perimeter and arrived at the most core area of the Mechanical Alliance, which was the location of the root database.

The reason Qi Yuan could accomplish this so easily was that he discovered the so-called Mechanical Alliance headquarters was actually the former Wood Clan tribe!

During those years when he led the Cyber Branch to conquer the world, he had indeed designated the area where the Wood Clan tribe was located as the headquarters of the Cyber Branch, and also set up various institutions there.

The reason was also very simple, because the Wood Clan tribe was not only his first "cooperation object" in the Great Void, but the Wood Clan tribe itself, which had mastered the core technology of Insecticide and fertilizer, was also an important grain production area, which could better satisfy the huge grain consumption required for the war of expansion.

After all, the technology in the Great Void was just starting at that time, and they hadn't even invented high-quality and cheap nutrient solutions as substitutes, so marching and fighting still required eating grain.

Therefore, the Wood Clan logically became the "capital" of the entire The Land of the Great Void.

So many years have passed, perhaps out of habit, or perhaps to commemorate someone's great achievements, the Cyber Branch did not choose to move the capital, but instead expanded a huge metropolitan area with the Wood Clan tribe as the center, which is the current Holy City.

But these were not the point. The point was that Qi Yuan, as the [Holy Prophet] who single-handedly founded the Cyber Branch, had left footprints on almost every inch of land in the Wood Clan tribe.

According to the rules of the System's teleportation function, any place Qi Yuan had ever set foot on would automatically open as a teleportation target, and the effect was permanent!

As long as he confirmed the location, he could bypass layers of guards through teleportation and teleport to the most core area of the Mechanical Alliance without any obstruction. The difficulty was even lower than when he infiltrated the Starlight City municipal government…

This was also the greatest confidence Qi Yuan had in this mission from beginning to end. With the map fully unlocked, how could he lose?

No matter how sturdy a fortress was, after cracking the outer hard shell, the fragile parts inside would be fully exposed.

Of course, because the Resistance Army did not have the ability to obtain the internal layout of the Mechanical Alliance headquarters, he still needed to explore this place and find the location of the root server without alerting the guards.

Relying on the stealth-type ability he obtained from the Night Clan, Qi Yuan was able to deceive many high-tech camera sensors, traveling smoothly all the way, moving through every corner of the Mechanical Alliance like a ghost.

Soon, he found that he was happy too early. The architectural structure of the Mechanical Alliance headquarters was extremely complex, crossing and intersecting like a honeycomb, extending in all directions.

Wanting to search room by room would probably take forever. During this process, he also encountered many dangerous traps, and nearly failed several times.

This couldn't go on!

After narrowly avoiding a team of mechanical guards that could have torn him apart alive, Qi Yuan took several heavy breaths, a trace of worry appearing on his face.

If he continued to search aimlessly like this, he would sooner or later be discovered by his opponent!

One must know that the Mechanical Alliance headquarters had a super brain sitting in charge. It was definitely not a management-type robot like the Starlight City Robot Mayor, whose thinking logic was simple and more focused on handling government affairs, but a cunning existence that had developed self-awareness.

Once an abnormality occurred, this super brain would definitely respond immediately and could never be easily fooled…

After a brief thought, Qi Yuan suddenly had an inspiration and quickly cast his gaze in one direction.

That was the place where he lived when he was a captive of the Wood Clan, which was later transformed into his private… Chief Helmsman office!

With that thought, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he used the teleportation function again without hesitation…

…

The next instant, Qi Yuan felt a blur before his eyes, and what came into view was a spacious room that was silvery white throughout and incredibly sci-fi.

Inside the room, dazzling holographic projections were suspended, displaying reports and requests from thousands of cities every second.

Countless urgent matters converged into a terrifying torrent of information, enough to make anyone responsible for processing this information feel despair.

In the very center of these holographic projections was a simply designed seat, and sitting on the seat was a beautiful woman in a silver-white bodysuit.

Her appearance was cold and glamorous, with black hair draped over her shoulders and a pair of bright emerald green eyes. Her slender fingers danced like flying on the dense command console, handling these piles of information with ease.

Another Mu Qingqing!

Looking at the mysterious woman on the seat, Qi Yuan's face changed drastically, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

The Mu Qingqing appearing in front of him this time… actually wasn't a robot, but more like a real, living person!

Just as he began to doubt his life, the "Mu Qingqing" on the seat seemed to have discovered someone's presence and suddenly looked over here.

The moment their eyes met, Qi Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he had the feeling that an old friend had come back to life.

This feeling was completely different from when he saw the Robot Mayor last time, because he could tell at a glance that the other party was fake, but now…

What was going on?

Could it be… Mu Qingqing was still alive?

Just as Qi Yuan was in deep shock, the "Mu Qingqing" who stood up from the chair also had her eyes light up, and those emerald green eyes shone with excitement:

"Chief Helmsman, is it you who has returned?"

Overwhelmed by great surprise, "Mu Qingqing" could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart, and her whole body turned into an afterimage, rushing into Qi Yuan's arms.

Feeling the warm body in his arms, Qi Yuan's brain was a bit chaotic, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.

Just as Qi Yuan was stunned, "Mu Qingqing" had already taken out the metal badge from his pocket, and her eyes instantly turned red. A strong excitement appeared on her fair, pretty face, and she murmured like sleep-talking:

"Chief Helmsman… I thought I would never see you again… It's so good to see you back…"

Looking at "Mu Qingqing" who was hugging his arm tightly and refusing to let go, Qi Yuan instinctively felt that something was wrong and asked:

"Qingqing, didn't your Lifespan run out? Why did you suddenly appear here?"

Facing this question, "Mu Qingqing" raised her pretty face from his arms, her emerald green eyes filled with affection, and she answered earnestly:

"Chief Helmsman, I have achieved eternal life through technology. Now this body is the most advanced technological creation of the Cyber Branch, possessing the most perfect genes in the world, and will not get sick or age within ten thousand years."

"After ten thousand years, I can also inject my consciousness into a brand-new body, thus repeating the cycle and gaining infinite Lifespan…"

Huh?

Hearing this, Qi Yuan was startled and showed a look of shock.

A flawless artificial clone body… Damn, has the technology of the Cyber Branch developed to such an awesome level?

If it was really as the other party said, it could indeed achieve the effect of near-immortality.

More importantly, as long as this technology was mastered, even Mortals who could not Cultivate could be free from illness and disaster, and live forever…

At this moment, he had already roughly guessed the true identity of the woman in front of him:

The other party was not the real Mu Qingqing at all, but that… super brain!
