Meanwhile, John Doe finally discovered Dr. Gero's laboratory on the cliff wall and fired a ki blast upwards.
The ki blast exploded in mid-air, immediately attracting the attention of Vegeta, Trunks, and the others.
They flew quickly towards John Doe, and then saw the laboratory hidden behind a large iron door.
"Great, we've finally found Dr. Gero's laboratory. Let's go in and destroy No. 17 and No. 18," Piccolo shouted happily.
However, John Doe said, "Don't even think about it. Dr. Gero has probably already gone in. Look at the footprints here."
"The footprints are fresh, they were probably just made, so unless something unexpected happens, Dr. Gero has probably already gone in," John Doe said.
Inside the laboratory, No. 18 was very interested in the hibernation pod lying on the ground, which was clearly much larger than herself and No. 17. She said, "There's actually another No. 16 here, and it's also powered by the Eternal Furnace like us?"
Seeing No. 18's interest in No. 16, Dr. Gero immediately stopped her, saying, "Don't release him, he's a failure, he can't be controlled. Do you want the whole world to be destroyed?"
No. 17 became interested when he heard Dr. Gero's words, and opened his scanner to take a look. He then said, "According to the data, I'm still more powerful in terms of strength."
Dr. Gero said, "Although the data shows this, sometimes data doesn't represent everything."
"No. 18, release him. I want to see how this No. 16 destroys the world," No. 17 said.
"Damn it, can't you understand what I'm saying? I said, take your damn hand off No. 16's hibernation pod!" Dr. Gero shouted.
While No. 17 and No. 18 were arguing with Dr. Gero in the laboratory, John Doe and the others outside the laboratory were also trying to open the laboratory door.
However, when they realised that the laboratory door couldn't be opened by brute force, John Doe said, "Just blast it open with a ki blast, why bother with all this effort?"
After hearing John Doe's words, Piccolo said, "Then let me do it, you guys step back."
Just as Piccolo was about to blast open the laboratory door, Dr. Gero's angry shout came from inside the laboratory: "I said, don't release No. 16, he's an extremely failed creation, he'll destroy the whole world, can't you understand?"
Piccolo and the others were shocked, especially Trunks, who said involuntarily, "Why is there another No. 16?"
From Dr. Gero's words, everyone understood that No. 16 was even more terrifying than No. 17 and No. 18 combined, and that No. 16 could threaten the safety of the whole world.
John Doe immediately said, "Hurry up and blast it open, let's see what's going on."
After hearing John Doe's words, Piccolo immediately blasted the laboratory's large iron door open with a ki blast.
The scene that was revealed to everyone was No. 17's hand inserted into Dr. Gero's abdomen.
The two sides finally met formally for the first time, and No. 17 looked at John Doe and the others, especially John Doe, whom he stared at for over ten seconds.
Then No. 17 pulled his hand out of Dr. Gero's abdomen, leapt into the air, and with a flying kick, he directly broke Dr. Gero's neck.
Dr. Gero's head rolled in front of John Doe and the others.
Dr. Gero looked at No. 17 and No. 18 and said harshly, "You two are ungrateful, one day you'll go to hell, and I'll be waiting for you there."
"Shut up!" No. 17 leapt up, and when he landed, he stomped on Dr. Gero's head, crushing it.
John Doe looked at No. 17 in front of him, as well as No. 18 inside, and said, "No. 17, and No. 18, we meet again."
Krillin and the others were stunned when they heard John Doe say this, and Trunks asked, "Uncle John Doe, have you met these two demons before?"
John Doe nodded and said, "Yes, that was a few years ago, just before I broke the Red Ribbon Army's headquarters, we met once. I never thought that the two androids you mentioned were actually them."
After answering Trunks' question, John Doe continued to look at No. 17 and asked, "I can tell that you're not killers, and Dr. Gero, who controlled you, has already been killed by you. What are you going to do next?"
No. 17 looked at John Doe and said, "John Doe, I know that with your strength at the time, you could have easily killed us both, but you let us go. Not only that, you also got rid of our enemy, so we owe you this favour."
"Originally, we had two targets, one was you, and the other was Son Goku. Next, we're going to get rid of Son Goku."
After saying this, No. 17 turned around and walked inside.
"Why, Dr. Gero is clearly already dead, why are you still following his orders?" Krillin asked involuntarily.
No. 17 didn't turn around and said, "Because, people need to have some goals in life!"
Then No. 17 said to No. 18, "No. 18, release No. 16, I really want to see what kind of android Dr. Gero was talking about that could destroy the world."
"Okay." No. 18 then lowered her body and prepared to open No. 16's hibernation pod.
At this moment, Trunks roared and transformed into a Super Saiyan, shouting, "How can I let you release another new monster?"
After saying this, Trunks released a ki blast at No. 16's hibernation pod.
Krillin and the others were shocked when they saw this, and Vegeta even called him a fool and an idiot!
To avoid being affected by the explosion, everyone involuntarily retreated.
Then a huge explosion was heard, and the entire laboratory was flattened by Trunks' ki blast.
Trunks was somewhat pleased, thinking that he had already destroyed No. 16, and that No. 17 and No. 18 might even have been injured.
When Vegeta saw the expression on his son's face, he immediately understood his thoughts and coldly snorted, saying, "They're over there!"
After the smoke cleared, everyone saw that No. 17 and No. 18 were unharmed, and No. 18 was even protecting No. 16's hibernation pod. Apart from the broken cables, there was no other damage.
No. 17 said, "No. 18, quickly release No. 16, the cables are broken."
"Boom," No. 18 threw No. 16's hibernation pod onto the ground, and then pressed a button.
Soon, the pod lid slowly rose, and No. 18 kicked it open. Android No. 16 opened his eyes, and his massive body slowly crawled out of the hibernation pod, giving everyone a strong sense of oppression.
