This was the first time No. 0 had left the hidden space and was very curious about everything.

“Connecting to the Internet. Oh my god, what a simple source code. What a primitive algorithm. This firewall is filled with holes! Also, what a childish method of positioning it.” No. 0 grumbled.

Twenty seconds later, it finally finished its work.

“I have connected to the local network that you humans use.”

Peter knew that the human camp was currently in an awkward situation. Their survival range was narrowed to the base city. Thus, the Internet network they could build was also restricted to the local area.

“Alright, No. 0. I know how powerful you are. I just want to find my companions now.”

“Yes, Master.”

Soon, a route appeared in Peter’s mind.

…

After Donna escaped from the underground fortifications, she lost contact with Barker and the others. After entering the mountain range, she had been searching for traces of Barker and the others.

When the underground fortifications collapsed, Donna’s smart device had accidentally been damaged, causing her to be very confused and not know where to go next.

However, since she had escaped, she wanted to do something meaningful, such as looking for her mother.

Although she was the daughter of the Locke family head in name, she knew that she was only adopted by the Locke family.

In order to improve the bloodline of the family, the Locke family would choose a large number of beautiful women from outside the family every year. Furthermore, they also had advanced beauty cultivation bases in many base cities.

Every year, a large number of girls would be sent for training. When the girls were about six years old, their looks would basically be determined and they could determine whether they were beautiful women. Then, the Locke family would undergo another round of selection. The outstanding girls would be adopted as daughters by the family members and undergo brainwashing training.

Furthermore, there was another reason for choosing this period to carry out the adoption. After all, humans would have a memory gap when they were around six years old. Thus, almost no one could remember what had happened before they were six years old. Even seven- or eight-year-old children could not remember the very specific things that had happened before six years old.

It was said that this was a self-protection mechanism of the human body. Humans had a sensitive understanding of this world until they were six years old.

However, after six years old, humans would begin to have rational knowledge. At that time, if they did not forget what had happened in the past, they would have contradictions in their understanding. At that time, it would affect the growth of their personalities.

Furthermore, at that age, the development of the human brain was not complete. This was also a self-protection mechanism.

However, Donna was an exception.

When she was very young, her mental strength was higher than that of other children. She was also very smart.

As a result, she did not experience a memory gap. She clearly remembered what had happened before she was six years old.

Donna was born in the beauty production factory of the Locke family in New York Base City. She knew her mother well. Her mother was blonde and very kind.

Her mom always spoke to her. Everyone else called her mother Wendy. Donna also remembered that her mom had a serial number, and those fierce-looking people called her No. 000361.

When Donna was two years old, she was forced to separate from her mother and was sent to the Locke family.

She could not forget the reluctant tears in her mother’s eyes when she was separated from her mother. Furthermore, her mother’s stomach had grown again at that time and she was about to give birth again.

Donna was sent to Locke to be nurtured in the kindergarten there.

When she was five years old, Locke officially adopted her because of her intelligence and beauty.

However, she was not grateful to the Locke family. After all, she was just a tool that the family had exchanged for. Furthermore, to the Locke family, she was only a tool for them to vent their frustrations and reproduce.

When she thought about how her mother should be almost 50 years old now, she wanted to see how her mother was like now. This longing emotion had always been in her mind.

If the God of War Peter hadn’t brought her out this time and accidentally separated her from the team, she didn’t know when she would have the courage to look for her mother.

After Donna was adopted by Locke, she had once spent money to bribe a butler to help her find information about her mother.

Her mother’s serial number was 000361. As long as she entered the local network of the Locke family, she would be able to find detailed information about her mother.

Donna had always remembered her mother’s file. “Wendy gave birth in 2483. She was captured when she was 20 years old and sold to the Locke family. Then, she became a tool for reproducing beautiful women. Donna was her first child.

“Wendy stayed here for ten years and gave birth to 13 baby girls. In the end, due to severe physical abuse, she was sold to the Henry family and became a maid.”

However, there was no information about her children in the file. After all, they were just production tools. Thus, there was no need to know where they had gone.

Furthermore, if the people learned that their wives and the women of the Locke family were the descendants of slaves, the Locke family would face the rage of those families.

At the thought of this, Donna cried uncontrollably. This was because she knew what the consequences would be for the slaves who were bought into the Henry family. They would either be made into food, specimens, or prey in the real hunting ground. None of the slaves who fell into the hands of the Henry family lived for more than three months. Thus, her mother was no longer in this world. Furthermore, she must have died in great pain.

Just as Donna was crying, a tall figure appeared behind her. He looked at the petite Donna in front of him and walked over to stroke her hair.

“Donna!”

Donna suddenly turned around and was surprised to find the God of War Peter standing behind her.

“God of War Peter, why are you here?”

After Peter left the underground fortifications, he found Donna’s location through No. 0. Donna didn’t even notice that No. 0 had invaded the smart device that she was carrying.

Then, in her sadness, Donna told the God of War Peter about her origins. She had never told anyone about her mother being a slave.

However, to Donna’s surprise, Peter decided to take Donna to a nearby underground fortification that sold slaves. They might even be able to find information about her mother there. Even if they didn’t, it would soothe her sadness.

According to No. 0’s investigation, there was an underground fortification that specialized in selling slaves nearby called the Maple Leaf Underground Fortification. This underground fortification relied on the forces of the Mechanical Holy City to transport human slaves to the city.

Since Peter had made his decision, he simply took Donna to Maple Leaf Town. They was not far from Maple Leaf Town and they would arrive in about two hours.
