Robot No. 2 is different from Robot No. 1. It is a spherical robot, about the size of a yoga ball, and has up to six metal claws. It is also more sophisticated, which allows it to better handle housework.
"Master, dinner is nutritious ham and vegetable soup and white bread."
"Following your instructions, lizard skewers, grilled cockroaches and other foods are automatically removed from the food menu."
Synthetic sounds rang in Goethe's ears.
"Well, very good."
"Go recharge."
Goethe picked up a spoon and drank the ham and vegetable soup in front of him.
Emerald green vegetables and shiny ham were wrapped in a slightly thick potato soup base. The taste was moderately salty. After adding a little black pepper, Goethe was even more satisfied.
As for Astrid?
He ate it with big mouthfuls.
For people from the Wasteland, there is no such thing as ladylike etiquette.
Therefore, while eating, Astrid said.
"Forget about roasting cockroaches."
“But the Lizard Chuaner is still very good.”
the lady said.
"Then your next food will be lizard skewers."
Goethe's faint words immediately silenced the lady.
With ham and vegetable soup and white bread, only a fool would choose the lizard skewers.
However, less than five seconds after she shut up, Astrid, who was accustomed to chatting while eating, couldn't help but speak again.
"Have you learned anything from reading the book and the video for two days?"
"Old antiques like "How to Live in Nuclear Winter" have absolutely no research value. Except for some alternative collectors, no one cares about it. Everyone is focused on the greatness of the 'Prophet' Modeus!"
"Not just 'Fortress of Doom'!"
"And the 'Warrior Potion'!"
As the lady spoke, she became interested.
"The original 'Warrior Potion' had no side effects at all and could perfectly improve a person's physical fitness. Unlike the current type, although there are more and more tricks, the side effects are getting bigger and bigger."
"Especially the 'Son of Doom' potion chosen by those guys in the 'Fortress of Doom'. After the injection, they become completely crazy - even though they look very strong, it is not something that normal people can choose at all."
Goethe did not refute Astrid's words.
Modeus has truly achieved breathtaking achievements in this 'secret realm' in front of him.
It is no exaggeration to say that without this ‘Mad King’, at least 90% of the humans in the ‘secret realm’ in front of us would have died.
The emergence of ‘Fortress of Doom’ and ‘Fortress of Dawn’ has allowed at least six million people to survive.
The ‘Warrior Potion’ allows more people to adapt to the world after nuclear war.
Has the ability to fight mutant plants and animals.
Then?
After the external crisis subsides, the internal crisis breaks out.
After the 'Prophet' Modeus disappeared during a long journey, the descendants of the 'Prophet' were pierced with spears and stood on the highest point of the 'Fortress of Doom' - which is still preserved today.
It has even become one of the scenery of the ‘Fortress of Doom’.
"The descendants of the 'Prophet' are really pitiful."
Goethe said this.
"The Jock family are all lunatics. In order to keep the body intact, they actually 'maintained' the body - ever since the so-called Jock I betrayed the 'prophet' Modeus, they should have been cut to pieces by a thousand cuts!"
Astrid pounded the table angrily.
"However, they are still the controllers of the 'Fortress of Doom'!"
Goethe picked up his bowl and spoke slowly to avoid getting into trouble.
"yes!"
"Led by that bastard Jock VI, a large group of bastards plundered everywhere, divided up so-called safe zones, charged fees, made those who entered the safe zones owe high debts, and finally, all became slaves - if not
If we go to Dawn Fortress, the 'Wasteland' will completely become that bastard and madman's paradise!"
"There's also Machinery City!"
"However, compared to entering the Dawn Fortress, which only costs 2,000 la, a certain amount of skills are required."
"Of course, a 'psychic' like you, Goethe, will be welcomed wherever you go."
Astrid sat down dejectedly at first, but then spoke excitedly.
'Dawn Fortress' is one of the two miracles created by 'Prophet' Modeus. It is hidden deep underground and has exaggerated food and fresh water reserves, as well as a complete industrial system, which can support five million people.
Of course, that was before.
This population has now more than doubled.
The 'Dawn Fortress' is still digging deeper, relying on the blueprint of 'Prophet' Modeus to continue to improve the 'Dawn Fortress'.
That’s right, perfect!
According to the blueprint of 'Prophet' Modeus, the entire 'Dawn Fortress' can accommodate hundreds of millions of people and form a new self-sufficient system without relying on the ground at all.
As for Machinery City?
It was created by several assistants and disciples of the former ‘Prophet’ Modeus.
Different from the plunder of the 'Fortress of Doom' and the self-development of the 'Fortress of Dawn', Mechanical City focuses more on exploring new directions.
For example: the combination of machinery and people.
They call themselves 'New Humanity'.
But compared with the popular 'psykers', more residents of the 'Wasteland' regard them as freaks.
He read so much content in two days that Goethe's temples swelled.
He raised his hand to rub his swollen temples and continued to recall the so-called 'psykers'.
‘Psychic’ should be a variant of ‘supernormal’.
And this kind of variation is not only reflected in the title.
‘Psychic’ has some ‘technological’ elements added to it.
In the knowledge left by the 'Mad King', which is called 'ancient technology', the original 'psykers' are very similar to the new humans in the 'Mechanical City', but one chose machinery and the other chose
But it's some part of a mutated creature.
As time goes by, this bloodline is passed down from generation to generation.
As a result, many families of 'psykers' have emerged.
And these families are the loose forces excluding the 'Fortress of Doom', 'Fortress of Dawn', and 'Mechanical City'.
They have their own 'town'.
He also has his own subordinates and slaves.
They may be traveling through the "wasteland" in search of resources.
Occasionally, he will appear as a bandit and plunder the resources he sees.
Those who succeed become stronger.
The loser has nothing.
Even if some lucky people survive and become "lone travelers", it will be difficult to survive in the face of the extremely bad environment of the "Wasteland" and the endless emergence of mutated creatures.
Most will die quickly.
Those who don't die will become "mercenaries" like Astrid.
Then, there is a high probability that he will die unexpectedly at some point.
unless……
Have your own 'town' again.
But even if you have your own 'town', you should not be careless, because maintaining your own 'town' also requires resources, and more plunderers will also target your 'town'.
In short, this is a world where the ‘Law of the Jungle’ is revealed to its fullest.
Even the 'Dawn Fortress' is no exception.
2000 is not a small amount for ordinary people.
What's more, this is just the initial cost.
after?
Although Goethe didn't know, he could guess that it would be an extremely exaggerated number.
No money?
Then you can only work in the 'Dawn Fortress'.
Excavation is not just a machine.
People are also an important labor force.
As for leaving?
It has already cost 2,000, and most people are reluctant to part with it.
Just like in my hometown, once some people get involved, they can never get out again.
Of course.
Some people also call it ‘getting on the bus’.
It's a pity that the final destination of this car is always so unsatisfactory.
In addition, there are some lucky people.
For example: the Baron ‘Oasis’.
The other party inherited this 'oasis' by accident and lived a pretty good life.
Until... I met Goethe.
Picking up the white bread, Goethe took a bite and then soaked it in the ham and vegetable soup. After fully absorbing the soup, Goethe put it into his mouth, which was a mixture of meat, vegetable and soup flavors.
White bread becomes delicious immediately.
“‘Doomsday Fortress’ will definitely not feel comfortable this time!”
"The accident with the power furnace will be exposed sooner or later - those hyenas and vultures that have been hiding for a long time must have been following behind. Once the 'Fortress of Doom' shows signs of fatigue, they will immediately launch an attack."
After finishing the food in her hands, Astrid wiped her mouth and looked at Goethe with bright eyes.
"Shall we get involved too?"
the lady suggested.
"certainly!"
Goethe did not refuse.
If he wants more [Bloody Honor], he must return to the 'Fortress of Doom'.
There is a pretty good opportunity in front of you.
Just like Astrid said, the 'Fortress of Doom' has been targeted.
There is no better opportunity than fishing in troubled waters.
"However, it is a pity that after our escape, the patrols in the 'Fortress of Doom' will definitely be rearranged, and all the 'defenders' will also be activated."
"It's basically impossible to sneak in again."
"But if we attack by force..."
"'Oasis' doesn't take advantage at all."
"Sure enough, we can only follow others and pick up what they left."
Astrid frowned as she spoke.
"No need to force attack."
"There's no need to infiltrate."
"Do you have a familiar channel through which you can spread the news?"
Goethe asked.
In the cold storage, there is also the body of Baron Oasis.
As long as he operates it well enough, he can make it a "ticket" to return to the "Fortress of Doom".
Even if he fails, Goethe is sure to find a 'passage' using the [Blood Crow Spirit].
"have."
"However, if I show up, I will definitely be stared at."
Astrid knew about the body of Baron Oasis in the cold storage and guessed what Goethe wanted to do. However, as an employee, a woman who kept her promise felt that she had an obligation to warn Goethe about what would happen to him.
50,000-100,000 is enough to make people take risks and forget everything.
This lady can guarantee that if she comes forward, a group of hyenas and vultures will come.
"Well, pick a few that are easy to deal with. The resources of the 'Oasis' also need to be replenished."
"No!"
"wrong!"
"Can't do this!"
Goethe suddenly rejected his previous thoughts.
Immediately, Astrid breathed a sigh of relief.
The lady looked at Goethe with admiration.
"A warrior does not necessarily have to move forward bravely, but he can be called a brave if he knows the trade-offs and gives up!"
This lady said something she didn't know where she had read in a book. She was sincerely applauding her boss for stepping back from the brink.
Then, the lady saw Goethe's strange look.
Under Astrid's puzzled gaze, Goethe sat up straight and said word by word——
"I'm not giving up, but I think we can't reveal your whereabouts so easily. I should... charge a fee!"
