In the research institute.

"Master Karen's handbook..." Professor Vito held the old booklet in his hands in disbelief, as if he was cautious for fear of accidentally damaging it: "I picked it up casually? This is too unbelievable..."

"With this manual, our progress will advance by leaps and bounds." Zhuoxi said.

"...Okay, okay." Professor Vito looked at him very relieved, "Son, you are really lucky."

Zhuo Xi: "It's a blessing in disguise. If it wasn't for going to rescue you and being chased to that planet halfway, I wouldn't be able to get it."

"You said that there are still beasts living on that planet?" Professor Vito thought for a while, and said, "There is no grass growing on that planet, and what they eat on weekdays is probably the garbage that was dumped in the past."

"Teacher, I think it might not have been like that before." Zhuo Xi guessed, "Otherwise, why would Master Karen stay there for so long? Judging from the place he lived, he stayed there for at least half a year above time."

Professor Vito shook his head.

"I'm not sure, but maybe he wants to avoid something, or maybe, in that uninhabited place, he can calm down more."

It is obviously very pointless to pursue the truth about a person who is no longer there now.

They copied the records in the handbook bit by bit and studied the essence. Even Professor Vito felt that he benefited a lot.

"We may really have a chance to replicate the mecha prosperity of the past." The old man's eyes were full of longing, "I believe that the Dawn Project is just the beginning. And it won't be long before it will no longer be hidden, but will be made public. in the world."

"All the research phases are almost completed." Zhuo Xi said, "Now it's time to make further improvements according to Master Karen's manual."

"Luckily, Bai Hong didn't get any effective information from my mind." Professor Vito said with a smile, "This time, he did a useless effort."

When mentioning this, Zhuo Xi suddenly fell silent.

"Are you sure, he really didn't get anything from you?"

Professor Vito asked suspiciously, "No, what's the matter?"

"...I just think that he gave up too easily." Zhuo Xi couldn't describe the uneasiness in his heart, "But since you said no, then you shouldn't."

Bai Hong, what exactly do you want?

Thinking of the other party's sloppy smiling face that day, his heart gradually sank.

But no matter what, it's their side that has the upper hand right now, as long as they prevent Bai Hong from doing anything wrong in the research institute, that's fine.

***

When Zhuo Xi entered, Nan Nan was sitting on the carpet, playing with the arm of the round-headed robot.

"Brother Zhuo, why can't Shisan move?" He turned his head and asked Zhuoxi.

"Because Thirteen is my brain, when I left home, it went with me." Zhuo Xi explained to him.

Seeing this, 013 entered the robot's body again, the robot's eyes flashed, and it stretched out its arms to poke Nan Nan's creaking nest.

Nannan laughed: "Thirteen, you are back again."

"Follow me." Zhuo Xi said, "Let's go somewhere."

"Huh?" Nan Nan was stunned for a moment, then stood up obediently, "Brother Zhuo, where are we going..."

"You'll know when you go." Zhuo Xi walked over and stretched out his hand, "Come."

Nan Nan blinked, and put her hand into his palm trustingly.

"Ok."

"Your Uncle Qin... No, brother Qin, he is waiting for us outside." Zhuoxi endured it and said with a smile.

"Ah, Uncle Qin... Brother Qin is going too." Nan Nan was a little surprised.

"Yeah." Zhuoxi led the child out, "I made an appointment before."

When the two arrived outside the house, they saw a man standing beside a shuttle ship. He was dressed in a calm black military uniform, with a military cap of the same color on his head. He was tall and had long legs, with deep eyes.

Nan Nan felt a little apprehensive when he saw him, and he climbed onto the shuttle without saying a word, without shouting.

Zhuoxi and Qin Heng sat in the front seat, Qin Heng sat in the driver's seat, pressed a button, and Nan Nan's body was automatically buckled by the seat belt.

Nan Nan looked down at himself who was tightly wrapped by the seat belt, and said: He is almost used to it...

The shuttle stopped at the gate of the First Military Academy.

Nan Nan looked up at the solemn big characters above his head, and couldn't help but open his mouth.

Although he couldn't understand these words, he felt that there must be many powerful people in it...

Zhuoxi deliberately picked the time when the students were in class, and everyone was in the classroom at the moment, so they didn't need to disturb the crowd too much when they went in.

The captain of the school guard came to them and gave a very standard military salute.

"Hello, Marshal! I am the captain of the First Military Academy Guard. It is a great honor to meet you!"

His impassioned tone made Nan Nan couldn't help but take a few more glances. This man seemed to admire Brother Qin very much.

"The principal asked me to welcome you, please come to me..." The captain of the guard lowered his head and saw Nan Nan. He was a little curious, but he didn't ask.

Bring the three of them to the door of the principal's office, and he stands aside like a statue.

"Come in." The headmaster said with a gentle smile, "I just made tea."

Zhuoxi and the man looked at each other, opened the door and walked in.

The old headmaster stood in front of the table, holding an exquisite teapot in his hand. After seeing the two of them, he smiled even more happily.

But he soon saw Nannan, "Is this the child you mentioned?" He asked Zhuoxi.

Zhuoxi: "Yes."

The clothes Nannan was wearing were bought by Zhuoxi on Xingwang.com a few days ago. After placing the order, the robot delivered the goods quickly, and Nannan put on new clothes on the same day.And Zhuoxi has the experience of raising children in the world he has experienced before, so he is quite familiar with things like choosing clothes for children.

He bought several sets of clothes on Xingwang, and Nan Nan's clothes fit them well.

At first, the child was too embarrassed to ask for it, thinking that Zhuoxi had spent a lot of money on him, and then Zhuoxi said, if you don’t wear it, you can throw it in the trash can, so he accepted it shyly.

At this moment, being scrutinized by the old principal, Nan Nan shyly hid behind the young man.

"Haha." The principal was amused and waved at him, "Son, come here, grandpa will give you candy."

Nan Nan looked at Zhuo Xi's expression before walking over.

The principal took out a box of candies from the drawer, took two from it, and put them into Nannan's palm.

Zhuo Xi's face changed, "You still have the habit of hiding candies?"

"Eh..." The old man hurriedly put the sugar back into the drawer, and pretended nothing happened, and called him and Qin Heng to sit down, "Sit down quickly, I haven't talked to you two for a long time, the tea is very fresh today, I think you guys Will love it."

Is he easy? He is a lot of age, and he will be arrested if he wants to eat a candy. Not only his students will not let him eat it, but the teachers and guard captains in the school will also disagree when they see it.

It's not that he thinks that others are old, and eating sugar is not good for the body.

But the days when you can't eat sugar are like years.

The furnishings and decoration of the principal's office are all in a simple and simple style, which is different from the school's modern sense of technology. Entering the old principal's office is like coming to another world.

Zhuoxi and Qin Heng talked with the old principal for a while, it was just chatting without any purpose.What the principal cares about is their living conditions, not what most people imagine, and he will ask a bunch of serious questions when they meet.

Compared with the principal of the First Military Academy, he is more like an amiable patriarch.

"In a few years, old man, I will retire too." He said with a smile, "Time is not forgiving, and now I really can't walk anymore."

The crutch in this hand has been stuck for many years, and now it is getting harder and harder.

Zhuoxi looked at the old man in front of him, and suddenly remembered what the old man said to him when they first met many years ago.

"Child, do you really want to get out of this place?" The old man whose hair was covered with silver frost smiled at him and held out a hand, "Then come with me, and I will take you to a better place .”

"Are you a human trafficker?" Zhuoxi was full of defense when she was young, like an extremely vigilant hedgehog, protecting the steamed buns she just snatched from her peers.

"I'm not going with you," he said.

Although, the old man just helped him drive away those troublesome refugee teenagers just a moment ago.

The people staying in this refuge area are scrambling for a bite of food every day, and the food they get is not safe. Only by eating it will they not be snatched away.

Zhuoxi had fought against those teenagers many times, but this was the first time that an old man suddenly intervened.He didn't even know how the old man did it. With a few strokes of his crutches, he beat the teenagers until they howled.

The old man was not annoyed, he just continued to smile and said: "Well, I will tell you the address of that place, you have to remember to come."

After finishing speaking, the old man walked away slowly with a cane, leaving only the last sentence:

"Son, don't forget, you still owe me a favor."

At that time, Zhuoxi took a bite of the steamed bun, and said in her heart: It's not that I asked you to help me.

Zhuoxi has complained to the other party many times. When we met for the first time, what he said was really like a human trafficker. When the old principal heard it, he just smiled with a good temper: "That's right, but every word I said, old man It's true."

It's true, but it sounds very unreliable.

But it was that sentence that brought Zhuoxi the dawn of crawling out of the refuge area at that time.

In fact, he came to the First Military Academy not only because he wanted to repay the favor of the old principal, but also because, deep in his heart, it was indeed as the old principal said.

He really wanted to get out of that place, but he never knew how to do it.

He has no purpose.

until the old man appeared.

So to Zhuoxi, the old principal is more like an elder of his, not just the principal.

"Retirement is also good." He said, "You should have rest long ago, pay attention to your body."

As he spoke, he glanced at the drawer where the candy was hidden.

"Huh?" The old headmaster narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You kid, where are you looking? Don't think about my candy box. Speaking of which, you brought this kid here today because you have something else to do, right?"

"Yeah." Zhuo Xixin said forget it this time, "I want to test his spiritual power level."
