Chapter 185 The Boundless Wisdom of the People, Robot Dog, Bomb It!
Just a few days after Officer Zhang of the Baishui City Police Department was terrified by that emergency call.
Thousands of kilometers away.
In the Middle East region, a secret camp covered by yellow sand.
The leader of that armed organization—which was even larger and more powerful than the group known for "A White Cloth on the Head"—Almagi, was standing in an open area, looking at the mountain of cargo before him, his mood surging with excitement.
Just moments ago, several heavy trucks disguised as civilian transport vehicles had finally, after overcoming countless hardships, delivered the goods sent by his "Eastern Country friend."
Thousands of large cardboard boxes, printed with a cartoon bear and the Chinese characters for "Li Family Toy Factory," were neatly stacked there.
"Boss, the shipment has arrived."
A trusted subordinate walked over, holding a crowbar, his expression somewhat hesitant. "But... why does this packaging look like toys? Have we been scammed?"
Almagi glared at him, his thick beard trembling. "What nonsense are you spouting! Mr. Li is a top-tier arms tycoon in the Eastern Country! His products have always been known for being low-key, luxurious, and profound! Didn't the Swarm Drone from before also look like a toy?"
"Open it quickly! Let the brothers have a look at what the divine weapon we bought for fifty million ugly yuan actually looks like!"
"Yes!"
The subordinate did not dare to delay; he took the crowbar and pried at the first box.
"Crack!"
The wooden frame fell apart, and the cardboard box was torn open.
Everyone stretched their necks, their eyes filled with a longing for powerful weapons.
However.
When the box was fully opened, revealing the contents inside.
The previously noisy camp instantly fell silent.
Inside the box lay a silver-white, round-headed, round-brained, and even somewhat cute-looking... robot dog.
It lay there quietly, its electronic eyes—not yet powered on—were semicircular, looking every bit like a harmless, oversized figurine.
"This..."
The subordinate was stunned.
The group of hardened thugs holding AKs around them were also stunned.
Even Almagi, on that face hardened by the winds of time, felt his expression gradually freeze.
Someone couldn't help but mutter quietly: "Is this the divine weapon? I could kick this thing away with one foot, right?"
"Boss, this... this is just a toy! The kind you can buy for a few dozen yuan on some Eastern shopping site!"
"It's over, we really have been scammed by that fat guy surnamed Wang! Fifty million! Just to buy this pile of scrap metal?"
Listening to his subordinates' discussion, Almagi's heart went cold.
He looked at this "cute" robot dog in front of him, feeling that his intelligence had been insulted.
What can this thing do?
Even the previous drone at least had propellers and looked like it could fly.
And this dog? It looks useless except for being cute!
"Damn it! That damned fat guy!"
Almagi gritted his teeth, his hand resting on the pistol at his waist, his anger burning. "I'm going to call him right now and make him refund the money! If he doesn't, I'll..."
But then he thought about it.
No!
Li Family Toy Factory has such a huge reputation and such illustrious achievements!
Such a big shot, such a big company, couldn't possibly send a batch of pure toys to fool around!
There must be a secret to this!
"Shut up, all of you!"
Almagi shouted, stopping his subordinates' complaints.
He strode over to the "Wangcai," squatted down, and reached out with his rough hand to begin carefully touching and inspecting it.
Upon touching it, his eyes changed.
"Hmm?"
The texture was wrong!
This shell... cold, hard, and the sound of tapping was dull and heavy.
Almagi pulled out his dagger and forcefully scraped it against the dog's leg.
Zzzzt!
Sparks flew, but not even a mark was left on the shell!
"This is... high-strength carbon fiber and ceramic composite armor?!"
Almagi was a man who knew his stuff; his pupils constricted sharply. "This is the kind of material only used on tanks!"
He tried to force the dog's leg joint.
It didn't budge.
The tightness and damping of the mechanical structure made him realize instantly that it wasn't equipped with ordinary motors, but top-tier industrial-grade servo motors!
"This power... if it started running, it would probably be faster than a cheetah!"
Almagi's breathing began to quicken.
He circled the "Wangcai," carefully observing it, stroking its shell made of "composite armor," and feeling the powerful energy provided by its "servo motors."
How is this a toy?
This is clearly an indestructible iron monster wearing a cute coat!
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"
The anger in Almagi's eyes instantly turned into ecstasy. "I knew Mr. Li wouldn't cheat me! The reason it was made so cute must be for camouflage! So that we can infiltrate the enemy's city more easily!"
"But..."
He still had one question. "Although this thing is sturdy and runs fast, how does it attack? Does it just charge up and bite people?"
Just as he was puzzled.
His gaze suddenly fell on the back of the robot dog.
There, there was a row of neat, rectangular metal slots.
That was the "universal interface" that Li Jiajun had specially designed so the dog could carry a shopping basket.
Almagi stared at that slot, and a lightning bolt suddenly flashed through his mind.
He took a rifle from the hand of a subordinate nearby with trembling hands and tried to compare it to the slot.
"Click!"
Although the size was slightly off, as long as an adapter was added, it would lock perfectly!
Boom!
A flash of inspiration hit Almagi!
He unleashed the "infinite wisdom of the people" and instantly understood!
"I get it! I totally get it now!"
Almagi stood up abruptly, laughing at the sky, his laughter filled with admiration for Li Jiajun's design philosophy.
"Brothers! Look here!"
He pointed at the slot and roared excitedly:
"This slot can be used to mount a machine gun!"
"It can also be used to strap on explosives! Mount anti-tank mines!"
"Mr. Li is so thoughtful! He specially left the interfaces for us!"
"This cute robot dog, with just a little modification, can become the most lethal suicide weapon! And because of its cute appearance, it's also highly camouflaged!"
"Just imagine, when the enemy sees a cute robot dog running over, and they want to tease it..."
"BOOM!!!"
Almagi made an explosion gesture, a ferocious and fanatical smile appearing on his face.
The surrounding militants were startled by their boss's sudden explosion sound. After all, in a war-torn region, such a sound was very nerve-wracking.
'Damn it, that scared the hell out of me. You're the boss, can you just scare people like that?'
They muttered in their hearts.
However, after pondering their boss's explanation for a moment, they all reacted, and the disappointment in their eyes instantly turned into a bloodthirsty gleam.
"The boss is wise!"
"Long live Li Family Toy Factory!"
Almagi waved his hand, pointing at the enemy position in the distance:
"Boys! Bring out the C4 explosives and light machine guns from the warehouse!"
"We are going to give these 'little cuties' some teeth!"
