Cooperation and Allies

Mifeng seemed to know what Z Zhang Hao was thinking. He said, "The bridgehead has collaborators... I need a collaborator, and most importantly, I have bigger collaborators."

"In time and space, I'm not the only one with a bridgehead. In the future, you will have your own time and space bridgehead. At that time, we will change from collaborators to allies."

Zhang Hao was shocked and said, "You have allies?"

Mifeng replied, "Yes, two allies! One of them, we were collaborators from the beginning, and now we are allies. A very powerful woman."

"A woman?"

Damn, that's terrifying! Zhang Hao couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"Yes, a woman. The first thing I did when I returned to the bridgehead was to give her information. She hasn't replied yet, so she's probably out and about in the outside world."

"My bridgehead also stores her soul crystal robot. She can come over at any time. As long as she returns to her own bridgehead, she can receive the information I transmit."

"This accident forced me to seek collaborators. You are a very lucky person."

These secrets revealed made Zhang Hao understand how lucky he was to have become a collaborator so inexplicably.

"However, after this despair, it's not without gains. My reactivated bridgehead has stockpiled a large amount of supplies, and I obtained a large amount of soul crystals from the slaughter planet. Soul crystals were rare before, but this time, the harvest is quite significant."

Zhang Hao thought that in the future, when he established his own bridgehead, he absolutely could not make this mistake. No matter how many resources were consumed, he had to have sufficient backups! If Mifeng had even had a robot body backup, he wouldn't have been so disheveled.

"Can only soul crystals store souls?"

"Of course, it's not just soul crystals that can store souls, there are other things, but soul crystals are the most suitable because they are treasures that can be combined with intelligence. Others are far inferior. Perhaps there are better ones, but currently, soul crystals are the best! And, only we have them!"

Zhang Hao asked, "In what era is it best to establish the main bridgehead?"

Mifeng said, "At first, I thought it was best to establish it during the First Industrial Revolution. Now, it seems that ancient times are best. Various time and space divergences will appear. As long as you let your time and space bridgehead drift with the current and provide various technologies, you can change the entire historical timeline and form time and space divergences, allowing you to establish branch bridgeheads."

Zhang Hao did not receive this knowledge because his soul was not strong enough to accept such vast technology. However, Mifeng could explain it. Only when Zhang Hao's soul became strong enough would it be possible to cooperate in building a bridgehead.

In fact, Mifeng could clone a physical body, but it was useless. His soul was too vast, and any body would collapse upon entry. However, there was a workaround: clone a body and directly place the soul crystal into the body. After a period of time, the physical body could be completely controlled.

But Mifeng was unwilling to do so because a physical body is extremely fragile. If it encountered danger, such as a large explosion, not only would the physical body be destroyed, but the soul crystal might also shatter, which would truly be seeking death.

The reason he is showing himself now is that the era of Blue Star is very safe. It has been seventy to eighty years of peace with no threat of war. Coupled with the robots obtained from the slaughter planet this time, robots in this era are incredibly powerful. It is almost impossible to kill such a robot, which is why he followed Zhang Hao back to the villa. Otherwise, he would have hidden long ago.

Mifeng said, "I have some things to give you." He handed Zhang Hao a black cube, a rectangular prism one meter wide, two meters long, and one meter high. It had a hammer-shaped mark at the corner, which was the mark of the secret mecha workshop.

"Press the mark."

Zhang Hao was very curious. When he saw this rectangular prism, he thought of the storage space. It was indeed one of the items Mifeng brought from the bridgehead on the slaughter planet.

He reached out and pressed the mark of the secret mecha workshop. Instantly, Zhang Hao understood. This was another soul-binding. Then he understood what was stored inside the rectangular prism.

Holy crap! It was too surprising!

Ten robots, one mecha – the same mecha Zhang Hao used on the slaughter planet – various spare parts, a complete set of repair mechas, and various tools.

One thousand beetle reconnaissance machines, snake-shaped attack drones, and ant attack drones. Zhang Hao had seen these things. On the slaughter planet, he had seen the secret workshop's ants hunting crystal life forms.

All sorts of intelligent machines.

Most importantly, Zhang Hao saw ten soul crystals. Three of them were deep blue, four were light red, and the remaining three were actually transparent. He knew that transparent soul crystals were top-grade soul crystals, the best soul crystals, bar none. Light red soul crystals were also considered top-tier, only slightly inferior to transparent soul crystals.

As for the deep blue soul crystals, they were decent soul crystals, not top-tier, only mid-grade. However, deep blue soul crystals could be used to cultivate subordinates, such as soul warriors, which were essential for top-tier mecha warriors.

Zhang Hao immediately understood that these were prepared for Zhang Yihu, Zhang Erhu, and Zhang Shanhhu.

There were some other items inside. Zhang Hao marveled at how impressive the storage space was, being able to carry so many items.

"Release three robots and take out three blue soul crystals."

Since Zhang Hao was bound to the storage space, taking them out was just a thought. Three robots appeared at the side of the rectangular prism in the storage space. Three deep blue crystals appeared on the surface of the rectangular prism.

It turned out that Mifeng had already placed the souls of the three guards into the deep blue soul crystals. After a few days of nurturing, their souls had become much stronger. Of course, they could not control the blue soul crystals yet, unlike Mifeng and Zhang Hao, who could make the soul crystals fly.

Zhang Hao skillfully inserted the soul crystals into the robots' mouths. About five minutes later, the three robots saluted and reported.

"Report, Zhang Yihu reporting!"

"Report, Zhang Erhu reporting!"

"Report, Zhang Shanhhu reporting!"

A self-propelled four-wheeled vehicle slowly approached, carrying three luggage bags. Zhang Hao said, "One luggage bag for each person. The clothes and necessities are inside."

The three robots only had nano-shorts, with only their hands, feet, and heads covered in skin. The rest of their bodies exposed their metal skeletons, making them look incredibly strange.

Opening the luggage, the three began to dress.

These were all prepared under Mifeng's orders. Wearing brand-name suits, the three finished dressing, then put on sunglasses and quickly stood behind Zhang Hao. The reason they had to wear sunglasses was that the eyes of these three guys were a bit unusual, with cat-like pupils. Their eyes had detectors that emitted a faint glow.

Mifeng said, "With them around, very few people in this world can harm you. Take out another light red... pink one, take out a pink soul crystal."

With a thought, a pink soul crystal was released.
