Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction

Chapter 68 - Returning to the Genetics College

Chapter 68: Returning to the Genetics College

When the midnight bell rang, Peter ended his conversation with Professor Eugene.

Peter had now basically confirmed that there was something wrong with General David, the top commander of the mecha army. However, he still had to make a final confirmation. This would require Peter to return to the Genetics College and then find the recorder that Professor Eugene had mentioned.

Before Professor Eugene left, Peter asked him to rush back to the Genetics College tonight. After the crisis of the beasts was resolved, transport between the base city and the Genetics College was restored.

Meanwhile, Peter planned to take the aircraft back to the Genetics College tomorrow morning. He mainly wanted to go to the Federation to find an engineer who could repair mechas and return to the Genetics College with this engineer.

The positioning system and recorder in the smart mecha that Peter had destroyed were equally important to Peter.

These were all beneficial clues to uncover the mysterious organization.

It couldn’t be helped. After all, the mysterious organization had stronger gene extraction techniques, which Peter was determined to obtain.

The next morning, when Peter woke up, the first thing he did was contact Callie with his smart device. He wondered if there was something wrong with Callie’s smart device that kept him from reaching her.

Peter felt a headache coming on. There was a little too much to settle now, which prevented him from distracting himself from searching for Callie. He had to call Barker over and ask him to select a few clever Genetic Warriors to help find Callie.

Barker received the mission from the God of War Peter. However, he was called back when he turned to leave.

“Barker, if you haven’t found Callie by 7pm today, take the aircraft back to Genetics College first.”

Seeing Barker nod and leave, Peter also packed his luggage. He was going to the Federation to find an engineer who knew how to repair mechas.

However, he suddenly remembered that among the three humans controlled by the A-Grade queen insect, one of them was the eldest grandson of the Locke family. The family behind him was the largest mecha maker in the Federation.

Peter took out his smart device and contacted Locke. This guy had tried to kill Peter back then, but he ended up becoming Peter’s soul slave.

After the call went through, Locke’s surprised and humble voice sounded from the other end.

“Yes, Master! What can I do for you?”

Peter cut the long story short and simply instructed Locke to find the most capable engineer in his family business. He also asked the engineer to wait for him at Lot No.5 in the base city.

After ending the call with Locke, Peter went to the Federal building again. He still wanted to go in there himself and confirm if Callie was inside. After all, when he learned that there was something wrong with David, he was worried that he would do something to Callie.

Peter stayed in the Federal building for more than half an hour, but still saw no sign of Callie. Thus, he eliminated the suspicion that Callie had been placed under house arrest by them. However, his remaining guess was not a good one. Peter was worried that Callie had left the base city.

When it was almost noon, Peter arrived at Lot No.5 in the base city. There was already an aircraft parked there. Locke had been waiting for him for a long time below the cabin door.

Peter realized that a woman was standing beside Locke. She was dressed appropriately in a professional suit, and her bronze hair fluttered in the wind from the aircraft engine.

There was also a pair of gold-framed glasses on her delicate face, making her look dignified.

At first, Peter thought that she was Locke’s secretary. However, when he walked over, he learned that she was the mecha engineer that Locke had found. Her name was Betty.

It was not until they boarded the aircraft that Peter learned that Betty was also an Advanced-Leveled Mecha Engineer. She had graduated from the West Point Mecha Academy seven years ago and later entered the Locke Mecha Company to become a mecha design engineer. Currently, all the models of mechas serving in the Federation were designed by her.

Meanwhile, Betty was more interested in the God of War Peter than Peter was in her.

It was for no other reason than that Betty was a mechas designer, while Peter was the complete opposite. He was a Genetic God of War who did not need mechas.

This strong contrast made Betty feel embarrassed to ask Peter what he needed a mecha engineer for after they boarded the aircraft.

The journey was silent.

Half an hour later, the aircraft arrived at the Genetics College on time.

After Peter led Betty out of the aircraft, Professor Eugene, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately walked forward and handed Peter a microchip.

Peter knew that the chip contained the video of General David’s abduction by the mysterious organization that Professor Eugene had recorded ten years ago.

“Professor Eugene, this is Engineer Betty from the Locke Mecha Company. Bring her to see that smart mecha first.”

Professor Eugene understood what Peter meant. He would leave with Betty first so that Peter would have time to look at the video data in the chip.

Only Peter and Professor Eugene knew about this. Thus, they definitely couldn’t let others know about this before the final confirmation.

Peter watched Professor Eugene leave with Betty, then turned to walk towards his dormitory.

Every dormitory in Genetics College had a complete sound and audio system. Usually, all he had to do was insert the microchip into the port to project virtual images from any angle.

After returning to the dormitory, Peter immediately inserted the chip in his hand into the reader.

At the next moment…

A virtual image was projected in front of him. It looked as if he was there at the scene.

The screen was black at first. Then, a scene of the wilderness appeared. Countless mechas of various models appeared on the screen. As the screen shook, Peter learned that Professor Eugene had installed a recorder on a mecha back then.

This method was very smart. Not only would he not be discovered, he could also obtain more video materials as the mecha moved.

Professor Eugene had given Peter all the video materials. They were raw videos that had not been edited, so the videos Peter was seeing now were from when they had first been recorded.

Peter operated the device in his hand to speed up the video. Half a minute later, the scene on the screen had turned to a night scene.

He set the screen to night vision mode and the back of a person appeared on the screen. When this person, who had his back to the screen, turned around, Peter recognized him as David from ten years ago.

In the video, David walked out of the tent to solve his physiological problems.

Just as David finished adjusting his pants and was about to return to his tent, something happened.

David, whose physical condition was normal, suddenly collapsed. Then, a mecha appeared not far away. The appearance of this mecha was very similar to the smart mecha Peter had brought back from outside the city.

The mecha walked to the unconscious David, picked him up with its mechanical arm, and disappeared from the screen.

At that moment, Peter could see how David had been abducted. He wanted to see the image of David returning.

Peter sped up the video again until a face that frightened Peter appeared on the screen.
