"Are you ready to answer now?"

Black Cat gently tightened its collar and let out a comfortable sigh. "So warm."

As for Hitachi, he seemed to have given up resisting. Mustering his last bit of strength, he yelled, "What exactly do you want to ask!"

Hearing Hitachi's cry, Black Cat couldn't help but squint, the corners of its mouth curling up slightly. It took a four-inch photo from its pocket and placed it in front of Hitachi. "First, do you recognize this person?"

Guo Yi!

The person in the photo was Guo Yi!

A Guo Yi who was clearly not yet an adult!

So Hitachi couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

Although he hadn't met Guo Yi in person, he had seen Guo Yi's projection in a certain mysterious place while learning exoskeleton repair technology.

He didn't know Guo Yi's specific name, identity, or position.

However, just the fact that Guo Yi dared to point at the person teaching him and scold them, while that person could only bow their head in shame, was enough to know that his status was not low, and he was even less ordinary.

In fact, Hitachi suspected that place was the birthplace of exoskeletons, and that Guo Yi might be closely related to their creation.

However, all of this should have been a secret!

Why did the person in front of him actually know?

"Have you seen him?"

Black Cat looked at the silent Hitachi and asked softly, "Have you seen him?"

"No~"

Hitachi seemed to have just finished recalling something and said with a wry smile, "I haven't seen him!"

"Heh~"

Hearing Hitachi's answer, Black Cat seemed very dissatisfied. It smiled and shook its head.

Then, it pinched Hitachi's mouth open with one hand. "Alas, you haven't eaten for a day and a night, it must be very uncomfortable! Come, I'll give you something to eat. Don't worry, it's very easy to digest!"

Black Cat folded the photo of Guo Yi in half and stuffed it into Hitachi's mouth. Then, it covered Hitachi's mouth with its palm, as if to prevent him from spitting it out.

After the photo entered his mouth, Hitachi's expression suddenly changed. His eyes widened, and he stared intently at Black Cat.

Seeing Hitachi's gaze, Black Cat smiled calmly.

Then, it raised a finger to its lips. "You don't have to thank me!"

Following that, Black Cat delivered a knee strike directly to Hitachi's dantian.

At the same time, it quickly released its hand covering his mouth.

"Cough cough~"

Hitachi, struck hard, first tightly closed his mouth, then couldn't help but gag.

Unfortunately, only foul-smelling stomach fluid came out, with no other impurities.

Black Cat fanned its hand away in disgust and turned to leave.

Before leaving, it specifically instructed the passerby guard standing by the car, "Don't let him die, and don't let him fall asleep! If he dies, you go down to accompany him. If he falls asleep, you'll never wake up!"

After Black Cat left, the passerby guard immediately walked in front of Hitachi and stabbed him in the thigh with a dagger, then sprinkled coagulant powder on it.

The sharp pain of the blade entering his body contorted Hitachi's face.

"You'd better stay alert and force yourself not to sleep. Otherwise, I'll have to use this method to wake people up!"

The passerby guard said, then wiped the dagger on Hitachi's face and stood aside with a cold smile, lost in thought.

In this boundless desert, he could react to any movement, so why bother being on high alert and constantly watching.

Time slowly passed.

Meanwhile, other families finally learned that the Rabbit's only dispatched personnel who understood exoskeleton technology had been kidnapped.

So, they all brought out their benches, grabbed their melon seeds, and brought their tea, eagerly awaiting the actions of the Rabbit and the Dog Tycoon.

At the same time, because Black Cat left very few traces, and no organization claimed responsibility for the incident, after twenty-four hours, the Dog Tycoon and the Rabbit still had no movement.

The Dog Tycoon truly had no movement; they were also bewildered without a target.

As for the Rabbit...

Inside the factory, a Yun-7 military transport aircraft was quietly parked in the Space Battleship production level.

This aircraft had been directly brought over from He Zhijun's base...

It was brought over directly while wearing the Qiongqi Exoskeleton Armor...

At the same time, all the logistics personnel in the factory gathered.

The National Treasures also rarely stepped out of their laboratories, and were waiting here.

Guo Yi arrived, yawning, dressed in a neat, special uniform.

"Little Ding-dong, this is Elder Gu, he specializes in aircraft."

Elder Zhou, seeing Guo Yi arrive, immediately pulled a National Treasure over to him: "If you have any questions about aircraft, you can talk to him. As for us, we know about the situation, so we're here to see if we can help."

"Hahaha~" Elder Gu said cheerfully to Guo Yi: "I can't compare to them when it comes to swimming in the sea or running on the ground. But when it comes to flying in the sky, besides you, everyone else is trash in front of me!"

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Elder Gu."

Guo Yi smiled with relief upon seeing a real aircraft expert: He could slack off now!

Then, Old Huang also stepped forward with Elder Zhou: "All one thousand eight hundred and seventy-two logistics personnel in the factory are present! Eighty-one crew cadets are also present. What do you want to do?"

Guo Yi looked at everyone present, all wearing training uniforms, and nodded with satisfaction. Twenty minutes earlier, Guo Yi had suddenly contacted Elder Zhou and the others, asking everyone to put on their training uniforms and gather at the Space Battleship. However, they still didn't know what Guo Yi specifically wanted to do. Except for Gao Linlin...

"Let's go up."

So, Gao Linlin looked at the hesitant Guo Yi and said with a wide, bold smile: "You said that the path you choose, you have to see it through, even if you have to crawl!"

"Damn it!" Guo Yi scratched his head and glared at Gao Linlin: This guy actually set a trap for him when he wasn't thinking clearly. And he actually fell for it. Stimulated by male hormones, he had even patted his chest and said that with him around, while He Zhijun was still discussing rescue plans, he had already rescued the person!

Then, Guo Yi, with an expression of willingly facing death, approached the formation: "You can ask Elder Zhou about the minor details later. I'll tell you directly what you need to do. It will become zero gravity here soon. Everyone, put on your zero-gravity auxiliary equipment and get familiar with how to move. At the same time, form groups, and after you're familiar with it, dismantle that Yun-7 according to your assigned tasks!"

As Guo Yi spoke, cargo robots began to appear from the passage. Each robot had a backpack and a special rear-head-covering goggle. These pieces of equipment had actually been produced long ago, but the training had not yet reached the point of using them, so they hadn't been brought out. Now, with the situation being urgent, they decided to be more casual.

Then, Guo Yi projected his image in front of everyone, putting on the equipment as he gave a speech: "After using this convenient helmet tactical goggle, put it away yourself. The same goes for the air jet backpack. Once the gas inside is used up, you can replenish it in your dormitories and other places. And using it is very simple, just think about where you want the nozzle to spray."

After the explanation, Guo Yi went to the National Treasures: "Elder Gu, I'll send you the modification blueprints first. Time is too tight, so everything will be simplified. We'll discuss anything you don't understand later. You and Old Huang should arrange personnel to dismantle the Yun-7 as quickly as possible."

"Okay." Elder Gu looked at the blueprints Guo Yi sent over, frowned, and nodded: Too crude. The transport aircraft, which originally required two people to pilot, was modified to be extremely simple, with only a few control sticks and buttons. There was no fire suppression system, no flight control system, no fuel system, no engine vibration monitoring, and so on. It felt as crude as a toy airplane. At the same time, there was a recessed device above and below the aircraft, and two front and rear vents in the abdomen. It felt like holes had just been punched in the top and bottom of the aircraft.

"Then, Sister Gao, have you found the people I asked for?"

"Yes, brave, fearless, and experienced old pilots. I've already contacted the Air Force, and they've dispatched them for you. They are expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon."

"Alright." Guo Yi nodded to everyone: "I'll leave it to you all here. I'm going to get the corresponding equipment."

"Go!"

Elder Gu patted Guo Yi's shoulder. "Saving people is the priority. We'll help you watch over the dismantling work here!"

Guo Yi nodded and turned towards the material production level. Some equipment was still missing and needed to be personally fabricated by him.

A tense, busy atmosphere immediately unfolded.

Everyone began to act in an orderly fashion.

Thanks to the great "Hermit Who Doesn't Contend" for four consecutive days of rewards!
