Rocot: Reborn

The deafening sound of gunfire echoed in the small space, and the laser beam cut through the metal, sparks flying everywhere. Alicia screamed in fear, and she instinctively hid under the operating table, but her arm was cut by flying metal fragments.

"Damn it! They are from Black Snake!" The man who had been so respectful to the marshal before was now hiding behind the equipment, shooting wildly at the black-clad men who rushed in. He shouted, "How did they know this place?"

The marshal remained calm in the face of danger. He pulled up Alicia, who had not yet reacted, and pushed her behind the sanitary cabin in the corner of the operating room. "Protect yourself!" He growled, pulled out a pistol from his waist, and joined the battle.

The men in black were well-trained and coordinated, and they quickly controlled the entrance to the operating room. The energy weapons in their hands spewed deadly flames, destroying the defense system in the operating room. The man was still resisting, but was soon hit by dense laser beams and fell in a pool of blood with a scream.

"Don't waste time, find the target person!" The leading man in black gave the order. He was burly and wore a hideous black mask on his face. Only a pair of cold eyes were exposed, flashing with bloodthirsty light.

The men in black dispersed and began to search the operating room. Alicia hid behind the sanitary cabin, trembling. Her eyes fell on the operating table, where Rocot was still lying quietly, as if he was unaware of what was happening around him.

"Found it!" A man in black shouted excitedly, pointing at Rocot on the operating table, "The target person is here!"

All the men in black focused their attention on the operating table. The masked man walked over quickly and looked down at Rocot. He reached out and roughly grasped Rocot's chin, forcing him to raise his head.

"Is that him?" The masked man's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell. "Is this the experimental subject who has the power to change the world?"

Alicia's heart was in her throat. She didn't know what these people were going to do with Rocot by taking him away, but she knew that if he fell into their hands, Rocot would definitely not have a good end.

"Take him away!" The masked man gave an order, and two men in black immediately stepped forward, roughly lifted Rocot from the operating table, and walked out of the operating room.

"Wait!" Alicia suddenly rushed out, she opened her arms and blocked the black-clad man, "You can't take him away! He is the property of the empire!"

The masked man stopped and looked at her with interest. "The empire's property?" He sneered, "The empire? There will be no empire soon!"

"What do you mean?" Alicia felt an ominous premonition in her heart.

The masked man didn't answer her, but just waved his hand. Two men in black immediately stepped forward and roughly pushed Alicia away. Alicia stumbled back and sat on the ground.

"You will regret this!" Alicia screamed at the masked man's back, "You will definitely regret this!"

The masked man did not look back. He led the man in black and Rocot out of the operating room and disappeared at the end of the corridor. The operating room fell into silence again, with only the flashing alarm lights and the pool of blood on the ground, silently telling of the tragic battle that had taken place here.

Alicia struggled to get up from the ground, she stumbled to the operating table, looking at the empty operating table, her heart filled with despair. She collapsed to the ground powerlessly, tears blurring her eyes.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she raised her head and looked towards the sanitary cabin. The indicator light of the sanitary cabin was still on, and inside was a woman lying quietly?

Alicia rubbed her eyes in disbelief. She was sure that she was not mistaken. The person lying in the sanitation cabin was indeed a woman. A woman with a beautiful face, but her eyes were closed, as if she was sleeping.

Alicia's heart was in turmoil. Who was this woman? Why was she here? And Rocot... where had he gone?

Alicia stumbled to the sanitation cabin, the cold metal shell made her cold heart even more flustered. In the life support cabin, the woman was displayed perfectly like a work of art, her fair skin glowed softly in the light blue life support fluid, her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyelids, as if she would open her eyes at any time.

"Who is this woman? Why is she sharing a lab with Rocot?" Alicia muttered to herself, with countless possibilities flashing through her mind. Could she be Rocot's lover? But the Empire had never heard of any woman around Rocot.

She slammed the control panel of the life support capsule hard, trying to wake up the sleeping woman, but the life support capsule did not respond and continued to run quietly.

"Damn it!" Alicia punched the control panel. The metal shell made a dull sound, but she seemed not to feel the pain and let the anger consume her.

Rocot disappeared, taken away by a group of unknown guys, and the woman who suddenly appeared was more like a huge mystery, tightly entangled with her and made her unable to breathe.

Alicia slid down to the ground, leaning against the cold life support capsule, staring blankly ahead. The laboratory was in a mess, with traces of battle everywhere. The pungent smell of blood mixed with the smell of disinfectant made her stomach churn.

"Lockold, where are you?" Alicia whispered, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice. She didn't know what secrets were hidden in Lockold, but she knew that the man was definitely not a good person, and if he fell into those people's hands, he would be in great danger.

Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she stood up abruptly and walked quickly to the corner of the laboratory, where some sundries were piled up and covered by a black curtain.

Alicia pulled back the curtain, revealing a pile of complicated instruments and equipment. The flashing indicator lights and crisscrossing wires dazzled her.

"This is..." Alicia recognized some equipment. It was the empire's most advanced communication device, capable of connecting to any corner of the empire, and even breaking through the empire's firewall and connecting to the outside world.

"Could it be that Rocot had already anticipated that someone would come to catch him, so he made preparations in advance?" A glimmer of hope ignited in Alicia's heart, and she began to carefully examine the equipment, hoping to find some clues.

Soon, she found a hidden program on one of the devices. After the program was started, a virtual screen appeared in front of Alicia, showing a short line of text: "If I go missing, go find me at the abandoned starport. Remember to take her with you."

Below the text was a photo, and the person in the photo was the woman sleeping in the life support cabin!

Alicia's heart skipped a beat. Roccod had anticipated that she would be captured, and even left clues for her to take this woman to the abandoned starport to find him? What on earth was going on?

The abandoned starport is located on the edge of the empire. It is a chaotic lawless place filled with all kinds of criminals, mercenaries and space pirates. It is the dark corner that the empire is most reluctant to mention. Why did Roccod let her go to such a place?

Alicia clenched her fists tightly, struggling internally. On one side was the unknown danger, and on the other was Rocot, whose life and death were uncertain. What choice should she make?

At this moment, the door of the laboratory was suddenly kicked open, and a group of fully armed soldiers rushed in. The leading officer glanced around the laboratory sharply, and finally locked his eyes on Alicia.

"Dr. Alicia, you are under arrest!" the officer said coldly, "Come with us!"

Alicia immediately realized that she had been involved in a huge conspiracy, and this conspiracy was likely to drag the entire empire into the abyss...
