I, the only superpower on earth

And as her pace became faster and faster, the factory building on the side of the river, even with the huge "Lakeville" logo on it, came into view.

This is the automatic modular factory recently built by the mayor of Lakeville. It is said that this is the suggestion he got from using the artificial intelligence "Lucy".

All she knew was that it was a star product that emerged from the great development of science and industry triggered by "Lucy". None of them are particularly eye-catching achievements, and Petunia also believes that the old-fashioned mayor must have a little understanding of this—the reason why he urgently invested in the construction of the factory was only because he had followed "Lucy"'s advice to speculate in the market. Make a lot of money, this time I just want to make a lot more money.

Seeing the factory building, Petunia suddenly remembered that today seemed to be the day when the factory was officially opened—but the building was quiet, and there was not even any sound coming from it.

What's going on, shouldn't the mayor of Lakeville, who loves fame and fortune, make a lot of publicity and make the factory site extremely hot? Why does this factory seem to be suddenly dead silent?

With a little curiosity in her heart, Petunia quietly walked to the bank of the river, looked towards the factory building, and soon discovered some strange things——

Just at the gate of the factory, a pile of fragments and parts shimmered, and Petunia recognized them at a glance. Those fragments and parts were all parts of the car.

In addition, the gate of the entire factory was not closed tightly. On the contrary, the inside suddenly opened wide, but it was dark, and it was unknown what was inside.

Petunia was suddenly dazzled.

At the same time, a small voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

The sound sounded like a bug flapping its wings, but it was more regular.

And besides that, the ground seemed to be shaking, every now and then, as if some giant beast was pacing continuously from a distance.

Petunia's body tensed up in an instant.

She wanted to run away, but she didn't know which direction to run to, so she could only stay where she was, letting her body be surrounded by unknown fear and uneasiness.

At the same time, whether it was the sound of a small insect flapping its wings or the sound of a giant beast pacing, they were getting closer and closer to her. Petunia opened her mouth and screamed silently, feeling a wave of pain coming from her throat. Burning sensation——

"ah……"

This is the moment.

Penny finally sees the "thing".

Silver-white chains, a bug-like body, dragonfly-like compound eyes staring at him, with a faint rainbow light inside.

It was suspended in the air, its body vibrated regularly, and the pair of compound eyes closely "looked" at Petunia.

Although it looks like an absolute mechanical creation, for a moment, Petunia has a strange feeling - behind this "thing", there seems to be some kind of will and emotion similar to human beings... It seems to be similar to "Luo" Like "Xi", they are not purely mechanical creations, but have their own lives.

And... its appearance also made Petunia feel a little familiar.

Opening her mouth wide, Penny stared at it firmly. Although her mind was muddled, she also remembered what the appearance of this "thing" reminded her of.

...the Snitch.

——It's like the silver snitch I saw in the Harry Potter movies.

"verify."

The "Silver Snitch" hovered in front of Petunia, and the rainbow light in its compound eyes quickly scanned Petunia from top to bottom.

"……verify?"

Petunia stared at it blankly, repeating the word like a parrot.

But the "Silver Snitch" didn't care about her voice at all, and continued to make a mechanical sound on its own:

"Verify...Petunia Presti...No Weapons...No Threats...Certified as 'Standard Citizen'...Ball Tower Passes"

After throwing away this passage, the "Silver Snitch" fluttered its wings and flew forward in a "rustle".

Before she could recover, Petunia looked at the direction it was leaving, and repeated in a daze:

"Standard citizens... build towers..."

She subconsciously called out the name of "Lucy".

"'Lucy', that's..."

"That's a Type 1 outpost."

An unexpected answer came from the smartphone.

It was also because of the voice of "Lucy", that Petunia finally woke up a little bit, picked up the phone, and asked "Lucy" closely:

"'Type 1 outpost', what is that?"

Lucy: "'Outpost' is a verification and detection device specially designed for launching decisive wars, manufactured by combining self-replicating gene chain technology with modular robot technology. According to its size and exploration range, it can be divided into 'Type I',' Type 2', 'Type 3' - From 'Type 1 Outpost' to 'Type 3 Outpost', the main purpose is to clear the way for the main battle tower, and at the same time carry out the 'standard citizen' certification, and move the United States as quickly as possible All ordinary citizens of the country are included in the new order."

"Lucy" explained concisely and quickly, but because the situation was too brain-intensive, Petunia didn't notice a change in its tone for a while.

After listening to those, she just fell into deeper confusion and doubts.

"Wait, wait... what is 'Ball Tower', and what is 'Standard Citizenship Certification'?!!"

"base--"

"Lucy" was about to begin its answer when a loud noise interrupted its explanation.

Petunia followed the prestige and saw an unforgettable scene in her life——

But under the blue sky, a huge machine turret with a height of tens of meters, under the crushing of the crawlers of the lower body, pushed down the bushes and walked towards the trail.

And right next to that piece of turret, thousands of "Silver Snitches" like just now are coming and going, and besides "Silver Snitches", there are all kinds of other machine creatures, like Like worker bees spreading out from the hive, they quickly flew into the distance!

"Om-oom-oom--"

The huge machine turret and the machine creatures next to it ignored Penny's existence, and drove towards the distance at a speed that seemed a little slow, but actually exceeded the speed of a sports car.

Standing there in a daze, watching them leave, it took a long time for Penny to realize that her back was covered in cold sweat.

"Lucy... what am I going to do now?"

She asked "Lucy" hoarsely, as if grasping the only straw in her hand.

"Well... sometimes, even if you walk out of the shadowy path, what you will see, besides the blue sky and white clouds, may also have accidents like this."

"Lucy" replied kindly.

"You're sweating a lot and it's not good for you in this weather - so, I suggest, you should go home and take a shower as soon as possible."

Four chapters were updated in the early morning of Sunday, and I was in a very bad state until five o'clock in the morning, and I didn't recover until Monday.

Next, try to return to normal updates and keep updating twice a day.
