Become the Mother of Machinery [Heartthrob]

Chapter 2 Metamorphoses

    Zero is pretty sure that the attitude of the researchers has changed since yesterday morning.

    Before, they would have communicated with her with great interest and asked some questions for recording. Although she will not fulfill her request, at least she is listening carefully and giving a reasonable explanation.

    But from a certain moment, their eyes never fell on her again, as if the glass warehouse had become invisible.

    Moreover, they stopped writing the observation log of Unit Zero.     The next morning

    , Zero stopped a passing researcher: "I'm very hungry. Can I hang an extra bag of nutritional supplements?"     She just tried it, but the man didn't know what to think, and he agreed. Zero looked at the pale yellow liquid slowly flowing in the infusion tube, his eyes were very calm.     About two hours later, the door to the laboratory opened to the sides, and a group of robots walked in with stiff steps.     They only have the approximate shape of a human, but they have no human appearance. Their arms are extraordinarily long, and their whole body is silver-gray. Only the word 'GUARD' is drawn on their chests. It fits well with the general definition of 'robot'.     These guard robots were arranged on both sides of the door of the research room, standing motionless.     "Switch to alert mode." A white coat said.     The next moment, an emotionless electronic voice echoed in the laboratory: "Alert mode is activated."     The steel right arms of these guard robots were transformed into submachine/guns in an instant, and the parts and iron sheets were disassembled at a speed that could not be seen by the naked eye. When it was closed, the silver-gray gun body and the arm were seamlessly connected, glowing with an eerie cold light.     Zero's eyes suddenly lit up.     Outside the door, four researchers escorted a white cocoon-shaped bed in. Inside the cocoon bed was a man in a black shirt. He couldn't see his face due to his location, but he was tall and slender.

    Obviously, the extra bag of nutritional supplements is only because she needs to maintain her physical strength to upgrade others, and it seems that this man has a special status, perhaps an omnic that is more expensive than the two new AIs yesterday.

    All the white coats began to get busy for preparations. Noah's hands turned into small metal tweezers, holding the red wires to guide them up to the glass bin.

    The liquid level gradually receded, revealing the pale girl's cheeks. She stood upright with both hands on the glass wall, without much resistance.

    But he found that the response of Unit 0 was a bit strange, because she was always looking at the guard robots, and she was so focused that she could hardly take her eyes off her.

    Noah: ... vision problems too?

    After some busy work, the instrument started normally, and the huge screen refreshed with changing numbers. Everyone looked as usual, thinking that this was an ordinary job, after all, they have been here for the past ten years.

    Only Zero's hands were clenched into fists, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

    She actually didn't know how she 'upgraded' them. Those red wires were like a road, connecting her with the man in the distance, and had an extraordinarily powerful suction, which was equivalent to being forced to walk when she was in a coma for so many years.

    But if she doesn't want to go, no one can force her forward.

    Half a minute later, the light source of the "DiDi—" instrument dimmed.
