In the universe, civilizations take many forms, and species vary in all their forms. There are extinctionists, quantum civilizations, and colonizer civilizations, and the struggle between the four major civilization systems has never stopped.

Although these are all quite distant, behind the planet Ji Lie Xing, there ultimately stands an advanced mechanical civilization.

Therefore, mechanical modification and bionic modification have become popular, and in most mechanical cities, mechanical life forms occupy a superior position.

Even the number of androids is almost greater than that of native humans.

But this is not absolute.

It is true that they are an advanced mechanical civilization, but the purpose of building the test field is to illuminate some advanced technologies outside of the mechanical system.

Therefore, most companies on this planet, especially mega-corporations, do not follow the mechanical route.

For example, the four major biotech giants are typical examples of bio-civilization-oriented technologies. Some of the technologies they possess are even technologies that some second-level carbon-based civilizations do not have.

And this is exactly what that advanced civilization would like to see.

Those who can reach the level of giant enterprises cannot be unaware of this point. They understand very well that challenging the mother city on a technological level is something that the higher-ups are happy to see.

This idea of pursuing other technological advancements spread from higher levels to lower levels, and its scope began to expand.

Therefore, a culture of disdain for mechanical life has emerged within giant corporations.

Therefore, it was only natural that the senior engineer was looked down upon from the start, but when he demonstrated his bio-modification technology, that look of disdain immediately disappeared.

Kid! You may be wearing a Western-style dress, but your heart is still that of a "biological heart"!

"Hahaha, Little G, you're a master of biological modification, so why did you turn yourself into a mechanical species?"

"Didn't I say that when I was researching a super organism, I was accidentally infected by a biological virus and had to upload my consciousness to a mechanical body in order to save my life?"

The senior engineer gave his reasons, which he had already come up with long ago.

"Bioviruses, these are no good things. You should avoid them in the future." Jinba didn't suspect anything, but then, as if she had thought of something, she showed a disgusted expression. Her arm unconsciously tightened, and the old engineer's waist made a 'creak' sound.

"Take it easy, my body can't take much," the senior engineer said helplessly.

"Haha, don't worry, I'm very gentle!"

As Jinba spoke, she casually punched a utility pole blocking her way, then stomped on a rooftop, creating a large dent. She then ran wildly across the skyscrapers, leaping more than ten meters at a time and making a large hole with each grab.

Even demolition machines don't have this kind of efficiency.

Aside from not having green skin, this guy is no different from She-Hulk in terms of physique and behavior.

Senior Engineer's status has changed; he has become a formal member of the Throne Department, Liangzhou Branch, and Jinba Team, directly bypassing the status of a temporary member.

It's worth mentioning that, due to Jin Hanhan's violent personality, which is even more violent than that of a man, he is currently the only official member of the Jinba team.

They are carrying out a company task.

Target location: Liangzhou City, Bio-zone 104.

Jinba's reason for bringing the senior engineer along was simple: Xiao G had just performed biological adjustments on her, and she was worried that something might happen to her if she didn't bring him along.

This is a very respectable reason.

Completely different from the city that never sleeps, where the gap between rich and poor is obvious, with rats running rampant on one side and bright lights and revelry on the other, the old town and the business district are like two completely different worlds.

In Liangzhou City, all the buildings were created using 4D technology, with dark red materials covering almost everything visible to the naked eye, making it virtually indistinguishable from one district to another.

Logically speaking, the color "dark red" easily evokes images of blood, murder, and death, especially when there are large areas of the same color, which can easily cause physical discomfort.

However, according to the senior engineer's observation, this did not happen. On the contrary, the people here generally had rosy complexions and higher vitality. If the physical condition of an ordinary adult is 5, the physical condition of these people is 6 or 7, which is equivalent to the level of an athlete.

This is before any modifications were made.

Compared to other places, there are very few cyborgs in Liangzhou City, which has resulted in excellent public security. There are no gangsters shooting each other with guns and cybernetic bodies in the streets.

On the turbulent planet of the Machine Rift, this was simply unbelievable.

The senior engineer nodded to himself.

Many people have forgotten that technological advancements, regardless of their specific application, ultimately serve humanity.

When biotechnology is mentioned, most people think of biological viruses, biohazards, and even radiation-mutated monsters.

These do exist, but to be precise, they should be considered byproducts of advancements in biotechnology. No intelligent species develops its technology with the intention of eliminating itself.

But is it really that simple?

This is a cyber testing ground.

The sheer number of signal towers lining every street alone tells you that this is no ordinary city.

The biosignals here are frighteningly strong; ordinary electronic devices and prosthetics will enter a "cannot connect" state.

This is why information desks are needed; in this city, the use of chips is suppressed.

In a sense, this can be considered a "no-mechanical-weapons zone".

With a loud thud, Jinba fell from the sky, smashing the ground open and cracking it open, the cracks extending all the way to the person who was about to meet her.

They were greeted by a tiny robot less than half a meter tall, with small hands and feet and two large electronic eyes that looked incredibly cute.

"Hello, Captain Jinba, and this is, um, member G."

"You know me?" the senior engineer asked, somewhat surprised.

"Well, although your way of entering this city wasn't exactly legal, this is still my mechanical city, and I know you're an outsider," the other person said cutely, with an innocent look on their face.

"Your machine city?"

"Hello, Mr. G. My name is Kaibao, and I am the mechanical mastermind of this mechanical city."

"Haha, Kaibao, you look pretty energetic," Jinba laughed, rubbing the other's forehead with her hand. Kaibao immediately showed a comfortable expression, and his two electronic eyes turned into the shape of '(>_<)'.

Is this thing a mechanical mainframe?

The senior engineer subconsciously used the "Detection" skill.

Name: Kaibao

Race: Mechanical Life

Level: 65

Note: The main system of this mechanical city, although it looks very cartoonish, is indeed the main brain.

"..."

The senior engineer had long known that different mechanical cities had different tech trees, which would lead to different styles of mechanical mainframes.

But I didn't expect the difference to be so big.

Put yourself in his shoes; if he were to do that, there would definitely be a bloodbath.

However, at this moment, another Kaibao also ran over with his short legs, staring longingly at the senior engineer. The senior engineer hesitated for a moment, then patted his little head.

(^_^)

"Captain Jinba, Captain Jinba, another biometric information incident has occurred."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Kai Bao got straight to the point, his legs trembling and his face filled with fear.

"Many people suddenly disappeared from the spot."

"Disappeared on the spot? Doesn't that mean they mutated into monsters?" Jinba asked in astonishment.

"No, it just disappeared suddenly, like it was blown away by the wind."

Kaibao opened his little mouth and exhaled holographic projections like blowing bubbles. In the projections, whether it was white-collar workers, roadside stall owners, children, or the elderly, whether they were eating, sleeping, or simply taking a walk, they would disappear into thin air when blown by the wind.

Seeing this, another Kaibao clung to the senior engineer's leg, trembling with fear.

"Ghosts! There must be ghosts in my house! My house must be haunted!"

Hey bro, are you a robot? What are you afraid of?

Jinba frowned as she watched this scene. To be honest, this was the first time she had ever seen such a "bio-information event."

Due to the unique 'biological environment' of Liangzhou City, many biological signals automatically converge, generating bioelectric currents, which then synthesize temporary bodies under the influence of bioelectricity, transforming them into a special kind of monster.

This is the kind of situation that the Throne Department usually handles.

But to disappear is extremely rare.
