From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 221 - 181 Miniature Missile, Invitation from Xavier Matrix

"If you catch the Xavier Matrix, bring it to me before handing it over to the military,"

Yeliana Sikes' computational core, through Lu Heng's reactions, had deduced that Lu Heng had an 82.7% chance of locating the Xavier Matrix.

Therefore, she put forth an additional request.

Clearly, this request was hiding some secret.

Lu Heng looked up at her and asked, "Why do you want to see him?"

Yeliana Sikes didn't answer but instead made an offer, "Just bring him to me and, within my power, you can have whatever you want."

Lu Heng raised an eyebrow, feeling even more that there was something amiss.

As for finding the Xavier Matrix, even the Sikes officials couldn't do it, so naturally, Lu Heng couldn't either.

However, he could make it come to him.

Lu Heng had a plant in his possession, a plant that the Xavier Matrix had nurtured for a long time, and it was the only plant that had survived in his yard.

If he really liked plants, he would definitely come to retrieve the Yellow Thorn.

Moreover, Lu Heng had once helped him and was technically indebted to him. Theoretically, he needed to return the favor.

However, this was human thinking; whether the Sikes people would think about repaying favors was unknown.

Since Yeliana Sikes had made such a special request, Lu Heng naturally wouldn't miss this chance to gain resources.

"Bring me a batch of miniature missiles first," Lu Heng directly made his request.

"I meant that after you bring the Xavier Matrix, I will give you what you want," Yeliana Sikes corrected.

"If the Xavier Matrix were so easy to capture, why don't you go after it yourself? I need weapons now," Lu Heng persisted forcefully.

Yeliana Sikes had no choice but to agree but posed a condition, "You bring Anka over."

Two hours later.

Lu Heng arrived with the Mechanical Tiger Anka at the location designated by Yeliana Sikes.

Actually, Lu Heng had guessed what she wanted to do, and he was quite happy about her doing so.

Yeliana Sikes walked up to the Mechanical Tiger Anka, crouched down, stroked its head, then opened the control panel of the Mechanical Tiger and slowly said,

"Anka, from now on, you will follow your new master. It's also what father wanted, you don't owe me anymore."

As she spoke, she deleted the binding information about her from the core of the Mechanical Tiger.

She did this for a simple reason, because this Mechanical Tiger had been involved in the Gaseous Street and Xavier Matrix case.

If the Sikes Military captured the Mechanical Tiger and checked her from the binding information, it would create big trouble for her.

To disassociate herself, deleting the binding information was the best choice.

After deleting her binding information, Lu Heng became the Mechanical Tiger Anka's highest authority owner.

When Lu Heng came, he had already guessed what she wanted to do and was pleased to see her do it.

Afterward, Yeliana Sikes secretly had her subordinates bring over an alloy box.

The alloy box was opened, containing twenty-four miniature missiles inside.

Actually, what Lu Heng most wanted were miniature fusion bombs, but even Yeliana Sikes couldn't easily access those, let alone allow humans to use them.

Having miniature missiles was also great; they were filled with all-nitrogen explosives, more powerful than the king of explosives, CL-20.

…

Lu Heng went back to his base with the Mechanical Tiger Anka and the box.

"What's in this box?" Lin Zeyu pointed at the box, curious.

"Just open it and see," Lu Heng casually put down the box, letting him open it.

Lin Zeyu opened the box and then saw it was filled with miniature missiles, counting a total of twenty-four.

"Are these… missiles?"

"That's right, all-nitrogen ion miniature missiles," Lu Heng nodded.

"Awesome," Lin Zeyu's eyes lit up as he picked one up to examine it, even reaching out to touch the tip of the warhead, "It shouldn't explode from a touch, should it?"

"That's hard to say, Sikes Technology, it might just explode suddenly, usually damaging robots, they don't mind," Lu Heng shrugged.

Lin Zeyu immediately widened his eyes and hurriedly put the miniature missile back into the box.

Lu Heng called the Mechanical Tiger over to be equipped with the miniature missiles.

The Mechanical Tiger opened its metal casing, revealing the miniature missile launch mechanism, then adjusted its direction to connect with the box of miniature missiles, and twelve miniature missiles were automatically loaded into the launch slots.

Lu Heng thought for a moment, and asked, "Anka, what other feature modules do you need? If I have a chance, I'll try to get some and install them for you."

The Mechanical Tiger Anka displayed a feature module list on a holographic screen, sorted by function level.

Among them, the top priority feature module was the anti-gravity module.

Seeing this module, Lu Heng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "You're asking for quite a lot."

But if he really could obtain an anti-gravity module, then the Mechanical Tiger could fly.

A nearly two-ton-heavy beast, if it could fly, that would be a significant enhancement.

However, the anti-gravity system only provided the capability of suspension and lacked a propulsion system.

This meant that without additional systems, the Mechanical Tiger couldn't fly but simply hover.

Of course.

Even without a propulsion system, the anti-gravity module was still useful.

The anti-gravity feature didn't need to operate at full power; it could run at half power, effectively reducing weight and increasing running speed.

As for how much power to use, it could be adjusted manually.

Lin Zeyu leaned in to check the feature list, his eyes widening as he exclaimed, "It has a Skill Slot, can equip functional modules, and even launch missiles, why don't you just fly to the sky?"

Lu Heng pointed to the first line of the anti-gravity module and said, "If it had this, it really could fly."

Lin Zeyu swallowed his saliva, realizing that this tiger was getting more and more outrageous.

If this continued, his status as the third member of the team was in jeopardy.

"No way, I need to hurry and obtain Second Transition Source Material. It was agreed that after Mu Yu's complete Source Fusion, it would be my turn, and there are only five days left. When can I get Second Transition Source Material?" Lin Zeyu started to complain.

He began to miss the "Spirit Mind Master" Source Material, although a score of 7 didn't compare to 9, at least it was something, better than nothing.

Lu Heng glanced at the Yellow Thorn on the windowsill and said, "It should be soon."

Source Material appeared alongside the Abyss invasion, so to the Sikes Civilization, it was an unknown substance.

…

At midnight.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

A beetle flew in through the window, and Su Muyu immediately sat up, staring at the beetle, ready to react.

However, the beetle landed on the windowsill, and the next second, a holographic screen popped up.

Su Muyu got up, nudged Lu Heng, and pointing towards the windowsill said, "Look at this quickly."

Lu Heng turned his head, saw a metallic beetle the size of a thumb, and above it, a holographic screen appeared.

The holographic screen flickered a few times, then displayed the image of the Xavier Matrix.

"Hello, friend from the human civilization."

Seeing the Xavier Matrix appear, a slight smile crossed Lu Heng's face.

Things were unfolding as expected.

"Hello, Mr. Xavier," Lu Heng stood up, waving his hand in greeting.

"Thank you for taking care of this plant. You've maintained it well, but it needs very specific trace elements and must be watered with a special nutrient solution. Therefore, if it's convenient for you, could you bring the plant to me?" Xavier Matrix tactfully made this request.

What he really meant was to meet.

If he just wanted the plant, he could have sent a bigger robot to directly take it.

Naturally, that would have been quite impolite.

Lu Heng thought for a moment and answered, "Yes, now? Is it convenient for you?"

"It's fine right now. You can follow this beetle here; I will block the surveillance networks along the way," Xavier Matrix said.

Ending the call, Lu Heng woke up Lin Zeyu, and the three of them, along with the Mechanical Tiger and the Yellow Thorn, followed the metallic beetle, crossed three blocks, walked two kilometers along the riverbank, and entered a courtyard filled with red climbing ivies.

The house's exterior walls were covered in plants similar to climbing ivy.

It was clear that these weren't climbing ivies, but they climbed the walls in the same manner.

The climbing ivy's leaf color was maple red, very beautiful.

Su Muyu entered the courtyard, pinched a maple red ivy leaf on the wall, and said, "It's actually this courtyard; I've been here before. These are biomechanical plants… huh?"

A surprised expression crossed her face because when she pinched a leaf, it secreted juice, immediately causing her to panic.

"The last time I was here, these were fake plants…" she said in disbelief.

Because now, the walls full of maple red ivies were real plants, which she found unbelievable.

Lu Heng also examined the plants in the courtyard, some were real and others were biomechanical.

At that moment.

Xavier Matrix came out of the house: "Welcome."

Su Muyu hurriedly apologized, "I thought these were biomechanical plants, I'm so sorry..."

She pointed to the leaf where she had left the mark with her nail, a look of apology on her face.

"Don't worry, it's just a kiss mark left by a human friend's finger, it won't mind," Xavier Matrix eased Su Muyu's embarrassment.

Su Muyu's guilt eased somewhat, but she grew more puzzled.

Because the last time she had surveyed with the Divine Feather Eagle, she had confirmed that all these maple red ivies were biomechanical, and now they had turned real, which was unthinkable.

However, she didn't question further and instead followed Lu Heng inside the house.

Inside, a domestic robot brought them some pure water.

"Please, have a seat," Xavier Matrix gestured hospitably.

This time, the interaction between the two sides was much friendlier than the first.

After all, Lu Heng's group had helped him before, and some trust had been established. It was hard to say whether they could become friends, but at least they were not enemies for now.
