Chapter 105: Chapter 103 This is a Necessary Record_1

Zheng Yichen, venturing alone, gradually approached the second Alien Phenomenon. From the outside, this anomaly seemed no different from the previous one; through the mist, one could catch glimpses of huge shadows, but it was hard to make out what they actually were.

Just looking at a part of it gave a shocking impression...but one would get used to it after a while.

Zheng Yichen touched the fishing rod on his person and directly walked in. The surrounding environment at first still aligned with that of the apocalypse, but after about a dozen steps, the surroundings began to gradually shift, and then the pressure characteristic of the Alien Phenomenon bore down on him.

The pressure was swiftly adapted to by Zheng Yichen, not affecting him in any way, yet in this environment, Zheng Yichen could distinctly feel a strong suppression on his body. Under the influence of this non-inhibiting suppression, he kicked a stone nearby, which trembled slightly but did not shatter.

"...my physical strength must be suppressed by at least half," Zheng Yichen said, feeling somewhat uncomfortable as he swung his fist. Under this influence, he felt as if his whole person had gotten a lot duller.

It wasn’t that his reaction speed had slowed, just that his body was slightly struggling to keep up with his reaction speed—that’s why things felt sluggish. Correspondingly, his perception of the environment had greatly intensified.

With this special perception, he reached out to gesture at the air, and a ball of flame emerged in his palm.

"Is this what you’d call an environment with low strength level but high energy level? Do I have the talent to be a mage?" Looking at the restless flame in his hand, Zheng Yichen thought it was pretty awesome.

He wanted to do more with it, but the flame in his hand, after an unstable tremble, exploded outright.

Zheng Yichen coughed twice from within the explosion, his clothes now bearing noticeable scorch marks and his hair partially curled from the flames.

He retracted his previous thoughts. In this Alien Phenomenon environment, he could prompt the power within by concentrating, but that power was not very obedient.

However, in this environment, when Zheng Yichen pulled out the short gun he always carried, he found that this weapon, made from the horn of a one-horned mule, had also changed. It was now enveloped with tangible wind. With a gentle swing of the weapon, fierce winds could be whipped up, cutting nearby stones into fragments when waved at them from a distance.

Mador... environments with high energy levels are so much more exhilarating than those with high strength levels.

He felt that if he could utilize the short gun to a higher degree, he might be able to fly with this thing.

However, the weapon’s overall strength had not changed; without the protection of the wind, it was still easily destroyed.

Energy level and strength level complement each other. If one aspect is heightened while the other cannot keep up, it only becomes a hindrance. Having a long mana bar but insufficient physical strength is perilous because, even if one could summon winds and invoke rain, once the shield breaks, the likelihood of dying is very high, akin to how a regular person fares against bullets.

Yet, the intensity of this environment was still within acceptable bounds. His physique was not compressed to that of a normal human; he remained strong enough to exert hundreds of kilograms of force with a swing of his arms.

After adapting to the interior of the Alien Phenomenon, Zheng Yichen began to search for the target he was looking for.

This Alien Phenomenon was larger, yet the things inside were similar to those in the previous anomaly—quite chaotic. He could see many scattered buildings and other objects; he even spotted a levitating car resembling a means of transportation, which brightened his eyes, and he immediately went over to tinker with it.

Judging by the marks on it, it hadn’t been here long. The roof had been slashed open with some blade, turning the vehicle into a convertible. As for the people inside, they had most likely become food for an Alien Phenomenon behemoth.

After fiddling with it for a while, he found that the vehicle didn’t have a keyhole and must use some electronic recognition system for activation. Pressing a button, the display lit up.

A pale blue light emanated from the steering wheel, scanned Zheng Yichen’s face, and the screen immediately popped up with an identification error message, followed by an alarm sound and a series of warning reminders.

However, without a network here, the alarm sound was somewhat functional but one could forget about a networked distress signal—it was useless. But the alarm sound made Zheng Yichen instinctively rub his ears.

The sound seemed to be a kind of sonic wave with a severe effect on the human brain. He jumped out of the car, and the noisy sound diminished significantly.

His gaze shifted to the not so distant surroundings, which housed only a few high-tech cars like this one, but there were other things here that caught his eye.

He saw a bionic robot, but it wasn’t the female type—it was the hulking man kind. The robot’s upper body was intact, but the lower half had been bitten by something, bitten clean off.

He tinkered with the robot for a while, but it still showed no sign of life, leading Zheng Yichen to surmise that it was most likely out of power.

Feeling around the robot, he found a connection port, but it wasn’t any type of port that Zheng Yichen knew of: "Well, that can’t be helped."

Zheng Yichen knocked on the bionic robot’s head and noticed during his inspection that its skin felt very real, the lack of body temperature notwithstanding.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

"You have power?" Seeing the robot that activated after he knocked its head, Zheng Yichen was quite astonished and said, to be honest, this Alien Phenomenon zone was way better than the previous location. If Liu Haipeng and his group could take it and incorporate it into their own knowledge, who is to say they couldn’t try to revitalize civilization?

Thinking this, he placed the robot near the car.

The robot’s bionic eyes flickered with intertwined blue and red lights, "Battery remaining 37%, internal damage to the body, contact failure, repair tools required for assistance."

"No."

"..., then please do not touch the body too violently, it belongs to ID: 1919810 and is private property, fully insured."

"There are no insurance companies left to offer compensation, this place is no longer your world, and your master is gone."

A stream of data flashed in the robot’s eyes: "Connection failed, information retrieval failed, unable to determine if you are lying, unable to call the police."

"Quite intelligent, huh? Can you explain what kind of attack you’ve experienced before?"

"..., video playback mode." The bionic robot’s eyes projected a pale blue image, showing scenes where the robot was swept into this place by the Alien Phenomenon distortions. Being a robot, it did not ’die’ after falling from a great height.

It was just that the body was damaged, and, being a robot that ignores pain, that damage did not stop it from being active. It explored and collected information about its surroundings, continuously attempting to connect to a network but always failing. Afterward, it was attacked.

It was a several-meters-tall creature, similar to a demon, but unlike a demon, it had no wings or hooves. Its legs were like those of a wild beast’s hindlimbs, and its hands had sharp claws similar to human fingers, though it only had four.

The creature attacked the robot, and in one confrontation, it destroyed the robot. Its body wasn’t bitten in half but the ground cracked slightly, and its lower half was crushingly squeezed into bits.

Even then, the robot did not stop, dragging its remaining half body forward, and issuing warnings, similar to what Zheng Yichen had just heard. That Alien Phenomenon creature also seemed quite interested in the robot.

After toying with it for a while, the robot’s recorded footage abruptly stopped.

"All of this will serve as evidence to charge those who destroy private property," the robot said calmly after the video playback was over.

"That’s nicely said. How much of my words can you understand?" Zheng Yichen looked at the robot in front of him, resting his chin in his hand.

"Partial understanding is possible without connection to a network." The robot answered its own question with that consistently monotonous voice.

"And what about your self-judgment capabilities?" Zheng Yichen was very curious about the level of intelligence this robot had reached.

"Currently, it’s intermediate."

"Hm, what defines the intermediate standard?"

"..." The robot didn’t speak, and new projections popped out from its eyes—an instruction manual. Zheng Yichen flicked his finger, and though it was just a projection, the pages of the instruction manual could still be turned.

With a network connection, the robot’s self-judgment capability could reach an advanced level; without it, it would be low or intermediate. This robot was high-end merchandise, so it could still maintain intermediate judgment capabilities when offline. This meant it could help an elderly lady who had fallen or, if it encountered a child being talked to by an adult, it could scan data to analyze whether the person was a relative or a child trafficker. If unsure, it could approach to ask, but more detailed judgments required a network connection.

After reading the manual, Zheng Yichen understood that this self-judgment capability was based on some complex predefined procedures that covered a very wide range, giving the impression that the robot was ’intelligent’.

"What would you do if you were stuck in a permanent loss of your owner?" Zheng Yichen asked, still resting his chin in hand.

"Before reuniting with the original owner, secondary certification can be performed, and data related to the original owner will be encrypted to the first-level."

"That’s a good feature..." Zheng Yichen got up as he spoke.

Thanks to his enhanced sensory abilities, he was already aware of the disturbance from something approaching at high speed.

"Warning, that is a creature humans cannot confront," the robot caught sight of the rapidly approaching figure and immediately determined that it was the unknown creature that had damaged its body.

"The fight that follows is mine alone, consider it a matter of personal privacy."

"Recording a murder scene is necessary," replied the robot, analyzing the data suggesting that if Zheng Yichen went up, it would be like delivering his own head.
