Chapter 74: Humanity
"What?!" Sun Jack, drenched in rain, spotted a flickering icon on the shattered screen submerged in the water. It was a left-pointing arrow, flashing a few times before it dimmed completely.
Following the direction indicated by the arrow, he saw the wrecked container truck. It was a signal, beckoning him back.
“Hilda is still alive?” For a moment, strength surged from nowhere into Sun Jack’s battered body, propelling him toward the broken container.
Inside, through the secret door, the previously hostile robots stood motionless. In the dim room, Sun Jack yelled at the top of his lungs, “Hilda! Are you alive? Hilda! Who are you, really?”
His emotions spiraled out of control, just as they had during his earlier physical breakthroughs. He couldn’t suppress his surge of hope, no matter how hard he tried.
For minutes, Sun Jack’s desperate cries echoed in the room, rain leaking in through the damaged ceiling. Just as despair began to settle again, a sound emerged from the complex machinery where the Xiao Ting% team had been operating earlier.
“I’m alive.”
The faint smile beginning to form on Sun Jack’s face froze as the voice continued, “But I’m sorry, I lied. I’m not Hilda.”
