Chapter 76 - The Truth That Callie Knew

Chapter 76: The Truth That Callie Knew

An hour later, Callie’s hospital room was filled with her normal speaking voice.

Meanwhile, both of Peter’s shoulders were drenched in Callie’s tears. Peter had been sitting in front of Callie without moving his body. Even though he was now physically fit as a Genetic God of War, he still felt a little unwell.

“Peter, when I left the Federal building to look for Professor Eugene, I met my grandfather’s old butler at the door. He was the one who took me to the secret basement.”

Peter ran his hand through Callie’s brown hair and waited for her to continue.

“I followed the old butler to a hidden place. Then, the old butler discovered someone who had been following us. That person is a Major from the Federation’s mecha army.”

Upon hearing this, Peter interrupted Callie.

“Callie, how did you know that the person following you is a Major from the Federation’s mecha army?”

“It was the old butler who discovered this. He hinted this to me as well.”

Looking at Callie’s clear eyes in front of him, Peter knew that Callie had been used by someone. They had treated Callie as a tool with the goal of fishing Peter out.

“After that, the person following us suddenly received a message and left.”

According to Callie’s timeline, at that time, Peter had just entered the base city and met General David.

“Callie, what exactly have you been through since you entered the basement?”

As Peter asked the most critical question, Callie recalled the terrifying scene she had seen.

The only sound in the silent hospital room was Callie’s breathing that constantly grew heavier. Peter didn’t rush her.

“Peter, I’ve never seen a person who looks human on the outside, but whose body is filled with modified machinery.”

Peter knew that Callie was talking about the fake President of the Federation. He had seen the fake President of the Federation’s cracked head in front of him, revealing the mechanical structure inside.

The only thing he wasn’t sure about was whether the fake President of the Federation had replaced the real President of the Federation a long time ago.

Peter believed the latter even more. He felt that the real President of the Federation might have been killed.

“Callie, when you discovered the fake President cyborg, how did you escape from the basement?”

This was critical. If Callie escaped on her own, it would prove that General David was behind everything. He had deliberately allowed the fake President of the Federation to let Callie go.

“The fake President of the Federation wanted to attack me. In the end, the old butler blocked the attack for me. If it weren’t for the old butler, I might have died in the basement.”

“Then, I returned to the surface of the ground via my original route. However, after running to the streets, I felt some pain behind me. After that, I didn’t know anything. When I woke up, I realized that I was already in the hospital.”

Peter knew what had happened after that. The only thing he still wondered about was whether Callie had been attacked from behind after running into the streets.

He wondered if General David was behind this.

Peter now had three “corpses” — a smart mecha, a cyborg, and an old butler who was temporarily designated as a normal human — on hand.

These three corpses pointed to the mysterious Holy War Organization.

It seemed that if he wanted to unlock some of the clues, he would have to look for the answers from these three corpses.

Peter planned to stay with Callie tonight and solve the mystery of the transformation in the fake President’s body tomorrow.

Peter accompanied Callie in the ward until she fell asleep. Then, he asked Professor Eugene to send him two things: one was a recording device on the smart mecha, and the other was the positioning system of the smart mecha.

Betty had already fixed these two things, but Peter had never had time to check them.

Speaking of Betty, Professor Eugene even conveyed Betty’s protest to Peter when he delivered the goods.

“Master, Betty has been on a hunger strike after being placed under house arrest in the basement!”

Peter placed his hand over his head when he heard Professor Eugene finish. A lot had happened during this period, causing Peter to forget about Betty, who was still under house arrest.

Peter had a headache over how to deal with Betty. If he allowed her to return to the outside world, he was worried that Betty would expose the secret of the smart mecha.

If the outside world knew that a mysterious organization was using the bodies of humans and transforming them into robots, it would probably cause panic among the human camp, especially among the Mecha Warriors.

However, he could not keep Betty under house arrest for a long time either. If she stayed there too long, it would easily attract the attention of the Locke family, which was very disadvantageous to the God Creation Plan that Peter was going to carry out later.

Peter pondered for a moment and finally decided that the safest method, which was to use the A-Grade queen insect to control Betty.

It so happened that Peter was going to ask Professor Eugene to deliver the strengthening potion to the A-Grade queen insect. He would also bring Betty along with him so that the A-Grade queen insect could complete its control of Betty first before upgrading to a S-Grade queen insect.

Peter took the two items Professor Eugene had brought with him. Then, he asked Professor Eugene to go back and prepare. They were set to leave on the third morning. Due to the special nature of the A-Grade queen insect, the location of the queen insect could not be exposed. Thus, Professor Eugene could only take Betty to the nest of the A-Grade queen insect alone.

After sending Professor Eugene off, Peter returned to the ward and saw that Callie was still asleep. Thus, he asked the hospital to prepare another single ward for him next to Callie’s ward.

The secrets within the smart mecha were too important. Thus, Peter could not be careless. Only by checking the recording device on the smart mecha in the single room could he prevent its contents from being leaked. Furthermore, this room was one wall away from Callie’s room. If Callie woke up and made a sound, Peter would immediately know.

After everything was ready, there were two things placed in front of him. One of them was the positioning system of the smart mecha, which was now turned off. Peter did not activate the positioning system, mainly because he was afraid that the Holy War Organization would find this place through its positioning.

There was also a recorder inside the smart mecha, as well as a black box that was the size of a cigarette box.

The damaged hardware in the recorder had been repaired by Betty. As long as it was activated, the holographic projection image would automatically be played. Professor Eugene told Peter that the timeline recorded in the recorder was not very long, and only lasted for around 30 days.

This did not mean that the storage space of the recorder was too small. Instead, it was to protect its secrets. This way, even if one captured the smart mecha and obtained the videos from the recorder, not much information would be leaked.

Peter had already thought of this possibility, so he didn’t have much hope.

Pa!

Then, he turned on the recorder and a holographic image appeared in front of Peter.

The first scene that appeared in the video was a large number of humans. Each of them was muscular and had sturdy bodies.

Peter’s pupils shrank at the sight of this and he looked surprised.

“Why are there so many Genetic Warriors?”
