The next day, Raeder continued her journey with the convoy. This was certainly not because she mustered up the courage to start looking for the meaning of life, but because she had no choice. She carefully thought about the consequences of being captured by her father, and with that
Living in this state would be worse than death, so she could only follow the convoy to Green Forest City and try to survive there.
A cybernetic whose consciousness has been uploaded cannot die, and she cannot rely on death to escape. She absolutely cannot accept a life of constant surveillance.
Raeder and Xiao Wu are together, so she can receive Xiao Wu's compensation, and the money is enough for her to change her legal identity in a new city. Now she knows the correct way to survive in the dark world, and she is very
Fortunately, Xiao Wu gave herself a ferocious and intimidating appearance. It was a pity that she would never see her guide again, and the road ahead had no direction, so she didn't know whether she could continue walking alone.
Without her partner, Raeder had no choice but to regroup with other hunters. Since she was fully armed and looked very scary, her silence was regarded as cold and withdrawn, and no one dared to provoke her anymore - when she was drinking yesterday
Before I acted so exaggeratedly, I went obediently even when invited.
The girl was still thinking about her own problems. She regretted very much, regretted that she should not have run out willfully, regretted that she should not have known Xiao Wu, and regretted following her to act recklessly. She clearly did not want to hurt anyone, but in the end
The first and only person she could communicate with casually lost her life. She began to reflect on her past actions and wondered whether she had really never hurt others, or whether she had been hurting others.
"Why can that guy face death so calmly? Even people who are also mechanically ascended shouldn't be so fearless, right? Alas~ I have started to use such strange words, that guy's words really affect others...
Maybe she's not dead. That guy is super strong and will definitely survive like the protagonist in the movie. There's no need for me to be like this now. Maybe when we get to Greenwood City, she will suddenly appear and beat her up with her usual
Greet me with an expression..."
Raeder thought to herself, and couldn't help but look back. However, behind her there were only dust raised by the convoy and the desolate wilderness, and there was no living thing.
I don’t know whether it was due to luck or the departure of the disaster star. The convoy ran for two days without encountering any attacks. Not even a scavenger scout was seen. The other people in the team were naturally very happy, but Raeder was not.
Realized the problem. The previous attacks that were beyond the norm were all solved by Xiao Wu. Now that Xiao Wu is gone, the attackers have also disappeared. Does this mean that Xiao Wu is the cause of the attacks?
Raeder's mind is very big, even bigger than Amy's. She thought about Xiao Wu's possible identity as a spy, thought about the counter-espionage operations in this city, and thought about the secrets and values that Xiao Wu might have hidden in her body.
I thought that I might have been discovered by my father, and the attack was actually to get rid of Xiao Wu, etc.~
The more the girl thought about it, the more scared she became, and the more desperate she became. She thought that her reckless and dangerous move could buy her freedom, but there was still a high probability that it would be in vain. She was still under the supervision of her father. For the first time in her life,
This time, she began to hate the powerful power of her family's plutocrats, her status as the eldest daughter of a vase, and her natural emotions that yearned for freedom. If she was a ruthless and efficient machine like the rest of her family, she would not have gone there from the beginning.
If I pursue freedom, I won't meet Xiao Wu, let alone what happens next.
"Attention everyone, we are about to enter the detection range of Death City. We will stop in ten minutes for preparations. Guys, cheer up, we can't be unlucky forever. Even in normal times, the machines in Death City are more dangerous than the most powerful scavengers.
, I hope that everyone can meet the challenge in the best condition. Of course, it would be best if it can slip through quietly, and everyone should pray for their respective beliefs."
The guard captain encouraged everyone on the public channel. They were about to face the most difficult obstacle on this trade road. But as long as they crossed this hurdle, the road behind would become extremely smooth. Because there was frequent trade in Green Forest City, the caravans were
The number even far exceeds that of scavengers, and it is easy to find a team traveling with them. There is no danger at all on the road from the rest stop to the city.
"I have never been here, tell me about the situation in the Death City."
Raeder took the initiative to ask the hunter beside her. She used her own native voice, but even so no one would dare to attack her. The total weapons she had on her were enough to kill ten.
The hunter beside her didn't say anything, and directly played a piece of information for her to see. Cybermen in this era would store a lot of messy information on themselves, and only a pure lady like Raeder from the Paradise District could know everything.
No, that's why she felt bored during the journey.
Of course, now she no longer feels bored, only anxious and worried about the future.
The Death City is a super-large urban agglomeration from the previous era, covering a radius of nearly a hundred kilometers. It faces mountains on one side and is surrounded by rivers on the other (no water but very deep). It is too difficult to get around, so you can only forcefully cross. Passage
The caravans here will first avoid the core city area, which has also been hit by nuclear attacks. Even though the radiation has long since dissipated and the concentration is very low due to the advantage of the terrain, it is still one of the most dangerous areas in the world, because the danger here is not
It comes from a polluted environment, nor is it a scavenger hiding somewhere.
The name "Death City" does not mean that the city is dead, but that many people have died here. In fact, this is a rare "alive" city, but this "aliveness" has a negative impact on the people passing by.
Very deadly for travelers.
It is said that this place was the capital of a powerful country in the last era, and that country's robot technology was very advanced. During the war, a large number of automatic defense systems were deployed here, as well as automatic arsenals hidden underground and in the mountains, making this place a
An unbreakable fortress was built. However, no one expected that the war would turn into a war of annihilation in which nuclear bombs were thrown at each other. The city eventually disappeared in a mushroom cloud and became part of the ruins of history.
But although the owner of the city died, the defenders made of steel survived. Even though most of the weapons were destroyed in the nuclear strike, many still lingered in the ruins of the city, guarding them like ghosts.
This huge tomb ruthlessly eliminates any intruders who have not passed identification. It is said that these weapons use lost nuclear batteries, which will not run out of power for thousands of years. There are also rumors that those hidden arsenals are still there.
Operation, so these weapons cannot be destroyed no matter what.
There is no so-called safe route through here. The caravan can only stay as far away from the city as possible and wait for opportunities on the edge. If you encounter those automatic weapons, it is wise to interfere and escape. Only fools will use small-caliber artillery.
Shoot against those war monsters.
"It's so scary. It would be great if she was here..."
After reading the information, Raeder thought in her mind.
