Above the North Capital.
Turles did not stop, but instead flew directly over the city and headed towards the surrounding countryside.
Because in Turles's memory, Dr. Gero's research institute was hidden in a cave.
That obviously wouldn't be a densely populated residential area; various mountainous regions were Turles's target.
From near to far, the mountainous areas surrounding the North Capital are all subject to Cacao's scan.
Cacao was originally a bio-engineered human created for war.
Their strength lies in terrain scanning and analysis.
As the two conducted a thorough search, no suspicious cave escaped Turles's notice.
Hard work pays off.
Finally, Turles and Cacao appeared in front of a mountain wall that appeared to be heavily camouflaged.
Without saying a word, Cacao shattered the rock wall with a single punch.
Sure enough, hidden underneath was a high-tech alloy door.
Then there's no reason for us to just stand by and watch.
Another punch, and the alloy door was smashed into pieces.
The space behind the door unfolds.
It's less like a laboratory and more like a hybrid of an abandoned operating room and a biological research center.
There were also some mechanical limbs in the corner.
Turles walked in, looked around, and then frowned.
Nobody here?
But Turles still noticed something amiss.
The mess on the table caught Turles's attention.
Finally, there was a machine still working in the corner.
Turles went over to take a look, and wow!
This looks like Dragon Radar!
Moreover, the position of the logo resembles himself.
So, Dr. Gero knew he was being searched for through this Dragon Radar, so he either hid or ran away?
Does he locate himself using qi (vital energy)?
This guy really knows how to cause trouble.
They've even made West City like this.
In other words, he was already studying the Z Fighters ' "ki".
So, where will this guy hide?
Under Bulma's improved Scouter and Cacao's dual scan.
They still couldn't find anything.
That shouldn't be happening!
Since the Dragon Radar is still working, it means the person hasn't gone far.
Turles had a sudden thought.
Same as always, " Cacao, I'm leaving the outside to you."
Cacao understood and immediately walked out of the research institute, soaring into the sky.
Hovering high above the mountainous area, at an appropriate distance, it brought all the exits of the mountain below into its monitoring range.
Turles, who remained at the research institute, finally reaped the rewards.
In a corner covered by various experimental tools.
A hidden door to the basement was discovered.
really!
What a hidden paradise!
With a clang, the hidden door was ripped open by Turles.
As the body slowly descends.
This is a much larger laboratory, equipped with a wider variety of sophisticated instruments.
But...
It was still deserted...
That guy is really cunning!
They moved quite quickly.
Turles, not wanting to waste any more time, extended a finger and shot out a scorching beam of light.
It scraped around the wall.
Demons and monsters have nowhere to hide.
They also scraped open a second hidden door.
This hidden door is clearly an escape route to the outside world.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows!
They're quite cautious.
Turles walked through the long passage, which indeed led out of the mountains.
A scene that made Turles laugh uncontrollably unfold before him.
An old man was being stopped by Cacao.
I dared not move an inch.
"You seem a little shy, Dr. Gero."
"I've been searching for this for ages!"
Dr. Gero heard the noise behind him and turned around.
"It's you! You who suddenly appeared on Earth! You're not Son Goku! Who are you?"
Who exactly are you?
Turles smiled and walked towards him.
"I am indeed not Son Goku. Let's get acquainted. I am Turles, a high-ranking officer in Frieza Force, and currently the commander of the Sixth Branch."
What is all this nonsense?
Dr. Gero couldn't understand a single word he was babbling.
" Frieza... what is the Legion...?"
As for Turles, his miniature robots had actually been discovered much earlier.
However, the time was still too short for him to determine Turles ' origins.
In addition, Turles' arrival today was so sudden and completely unexpected.
I was in the lab today working on some new ideas.
I was immediately startled by the Dragon Radar's frantic flashing.
Such a high-intensity reaction is simply astonishing.
This is unprecedented!
After that, the reaction became increasingly strange.
Is it okay to just wander around his research institute?
Dr. Gero immediately sensed something was wrong.
Until Turles ' location began to approach the research institute where he was located.
Dr. Gero panicked.
Replenish!
They're really after me!
You know best whether it's open or not!
You disgust me!
He quickly gathered some important documents from the research institute and left through the pre-prepared escape route.
Turles shook his head slightly.
"That's not important. What's important is that I need to talk to you about something, something important. And you just ran off like that? If I can't catch up, it'll be difficult..."
"Don't you think so, Dr. Gero?"
Dr. Gero looked exasperated. "If you're not me, who are you?"
Do we know each other?
With an aura of that intensity, coming straight for my door, only a fool wouldn't run away...
However, even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare say these things.
He suppressed his anger, but his pride as a top scientific talent still kept him somewhat emboldened.
"We don't even know each other... Why are you looking for me? What do you want?"
"I just want to ask you for a small favor," Turles said dismissively.
"The one standing in front of you is called Cacao. You can tell, can't you? He's an artificial life form. Isn't that your area of expertise?"
"So, you want me to help you upgrade him, right?" Dr. Gero smiled.
Having guessed Turles's purpose, he felt much more at ease.
After all, the other party needed his help.
Thinking about this, he unconsciously started to show his true colors.
Turles frowned slightly, but still didn't lash out.
"Let's go, it'll be better if we discuss this back at the research institute."
Upon returning to the research institute and seeing the state of his living quarters, Dr. Gero instinctively wore a bitter expression.
They dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
He first put away the documents he had on him.
Then he slowly opened his mouth.
But it's not about Cacao.
What is your relationship with Son Goku?
Turles was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to ask that.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Dr. Gero continued, "I don't believe you two are unrelated. After all, just looking at yourselves, you're practically indistinguishable..."
"What is my relationship with Son Goku, and what is your relationship with him?"
"You seem to care a lot about Son Goku."
