In the Machinery Wasteland, near a heavily guarded warehouse, eight fully armed Mechanical Sentinels surrounded the entire warehouse, tightly guarding it.
Further away from the warehouse, several of Slayer's doppelgangers were gathered together, watching from afar.
"Have you cleaned it up?" Number One asked in a low voice.
"The surrounding patrolling sentinels have all been cleaned up. For a short period of time, there definitely won't be any more patrolling sentinels," another mechanical doppelganger said in a low voice.
Number One looked around. Originally, he had already met up with Number Four, Number Five, and Number Seven. When he was leaving, he had met Number Ten. Of the ten doppelgangers, he had already gathered five, which was enough to deal with these eight mechanical sentinels.
Number One calmed himself down and said in a low voice, "Since the cleaning has been completed, let's move on to the next step of the plan."
Hearing this, Number Four could not help but say, "Aren't we waiting for the others?
The strength of these eight patrolling sentinels is unknown. If we start a fight rashly, it might be dangerous. "
Number One shook his head and said, "We can't wait, unless you want to clean up the patrolling sentinels again."
"What do you mean?" Number Four asked.
The other doppelgangers also looked over. They were all doppelgangers, and Number One's dominance had already made them unhappy. Although Number One was stronger and had inherited the main body's AT force field, this did not mean that they would willingly listen to Number One's orders.
Number One was silent for a moment, then explained, "The defense mechanism of this mechanical wasteland is not that simple. These patrolling sentinels are not static. Every once in a while, the patrolling sentinels will rotate. If we continue to wait, it is very likely that the next batch of patrolling sentinels will come."
Hearing this, the hearts of the other doppelgangers sank. It was not because the patrolling sentinels would rotate, but because the information Number One had was more detailed than theirs.
All the doppelgangers originated from the main body. Their strength was like this, and so was their memory data. The information Number One had just revealed was obviously not something he had discovered by himself. This information must have come from the main body.
This only proved one thing. Before the main body split, not only did he give Number One the AT force field that the others did not have, he also gave him the memory data that the others did not have.
If things were as expected, other than a lot of crucial information about this mechanical wasteland, the main body should have left Number One with even more secret methods to suppress the other doppelgangers. This would ensure that when all the doppelgangers were reunited, no accidents would happen.
They were both doppelgangers, but the main body's favoritism was too much!
Some of the clones were indignant. Number Four even said in a strange tone.
"And here I was wondering why the main body would choose to enter the mechanical wasteland. It turns out that he already knows many of the secrets of this mechanical wasteland. However, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to keep this secret to yourself? This will cause us to encounter more danger in our blind exploration, and we might even die."
"Although I know you don't care how many of us will die in this exploration, if too many of us die, when we gather again, won't the strength of the main body be affected?"
Number One looked at him coldly and said, "That's right.
"You're thinking too much. It's not that the main body is deliberately hiding it. It's because the memory data regarding the core area of the mechanical wasteland all comes from the Supreme Controller. In order to prevent leaks, the data has been encrypted. Before this, even the main body doesn't know the content of the data. This data has the characteristics of not being replicated or passively decompressed. It will only be decompressed after entering the core area of the mechanical wasteland."
So that's how it is!
The mechanical doppelgangers seemed to have woken up from a dream. Before meeting Number One, they had also asked the explorer some relevant information. However, the explorer had only just entered the core area. They already had a preliminary understanding of the outer areas, but they were similarly clueless about the core area.
Just like the rotation mechanism of the patrolling sentries, the explorer had no time to understand the relevant information.
If the information Number One knew about the core area came from the Supreme Controller, then everything could be explained.
Under the control of the Supreme Controller, this mechanical wasteland wasn't the only one. The exploration progress of the other mechanical wastelands was already very high, so the Supreme Controller definitely knew a lot of information about the mechanical wastelands.
"Since the information given by the Supreme Controller has already been decompressed, can you tell us more information and help us avoid some accidents?" Number Four said.
"When it's time to let you know, I will naturally tell you. You and I are originally one. I won't cheat myself," Number One said.
The other doppelgangers looked at each other and didn't say anything. Since Number One didn't want to say anything, they couldn't continue to force him. Unless they had no other choice, they also didn't want to fall out with Number One.
No. 1 looked around and continued, "Our next step is to take care of these Sentinels guarding the warehouse."
"Although the strength of these eight mechanical sentries is slightly stronger than the patrolling sentries, it's still very limited. At the very least, they are weaker than us. If the five of us work together, we will be able to suppress or even kill them.
"During the process of battle, we have to pay attention to two things.
"First, during the process of battle, don't get too close to the warehouse. Apart from the mechanical sentries guarding the warehouse, there is also a powerful defense system. If we rashly get close, the firepower of the defense system will easily tear us apart!
"Second, the battle area shouldn't be too far from the warehouse. These mechanical sentries have a fixed guarding area. Once they are too far away, they will also trigger the warehouse's defense mechanism. The warehouse will dispatch new guards to replace the mechanical sentries that have left the guarding area.
"Lastly, in the battle, we must go all out and end it quickly to prevent the mechanical sentries from summoning more patrolling sentries!
"If you have any other questions, you can ask them now!"
Hearing this, the other doppelgangers looked at each other. Number Five opened his mouth and asked,
"After dealing with these mechanical sentries, how do you plan to deal with the warehouse's defense system?"
The other doppelgangers also looked at Number One. To them, dealing with the eight mechanical sentries together wasn't difficult. The real problem was how to deal with the warehouse's defense system.
Judging from the strength of the mechanical ruins, the defense system here wasn't something that their doppelgangers could deal with. Even if their original bodies came, they might not be able to withstand the attack of the defense system.
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Number One slowly took out a core crystal.
"This thing can help us pass the warehouse's defense system's identity verification."
Looking at the core crystal in Number One's hand, Number Four suddenly seemed to have woken up from a dream and guessed Number One's method to deal with the defense system.
"Since you have a way to deal with the warehouse's defense system, then we can work together and try."
Number One put away the core crystal. Just as he was about to assign combat tasks to his doppelgangers, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He sensed that Number Six and Number Eight were approaching.
