Chapter 1845 An Uneasy Future (After the Rain, the Weather Becomes Hot Again)

"Wish you a sweet dream."

After bringing the survivors to the guest room, the short-haired girl greeted them and then turned and left. Only then did the others come to their senses. They looked at the guest room in front of them with a confused look on their faces.

"What the hell is going on with this place?"

The girl with twin ponytails and glasses seemed to come back to her senses just now, and she looked at the girl next to her in surprise.

"Teacher, is Alice's illness really cured?"

"It is indeed better."

The female doctor reached out and touched Alice's forehead, then looked at her again.

"At least now her temperature is normal and she is conscious."

"I understand!"

The girl with twin ponytails clapped her hands immediately.

"I've seen on TV those religious organizations that pretend to be superstitious. They mix some antipyretic drugs in water and ask you to drink it. Then they lie to you that your illness is cured. If you still feel uncomfortable, they will say that you are not pious enough..."

"But the girl didn't let us eat anything."

The black-haired girl silently pointed out the loophole in the twin-tailed girl's words.

"She just put her hand on Alice's forehead, which was no different from taking a temperature."

"Well……………"

Faced with the black-haired girl's rebuttal, the girl with twin ponytails was speechless for a moment, but soon she turned her head to look at the girl.

"Alice, how do you feel?"

"Huh? Me?"

The little girl was startled when she heard the question from the girl with twin ponytails, but she still answered obediently.

"At that time, I felt very hot all over and felt dizzy, and then... then I felt something cold and cool on my forehead, which was very comfortable. Then my body was not so hot anymore, and I didn't feel uncomfortable anymore..."

"Ugh...what on earth is going on?"

"That's not important."

The other girl obviously didn't care about these issues.

"The question is, what do we do next?"

"There's nothing we can do, right?"

The dark-haired girl shrugged.

"Didn't Miss Mikazuki say that once we enter the Tribunal, we can't get out? Now let's see what they will ask us to do."

"…………………"

When it comes to this topic, everyone in the group fell into silence. They just didn't have time to think about it before, but now they feel very uneasy. It's not the first time they have entered a shelter, but a shelter like the Tribunal is really very strange. Generally speaking, shelters are short of supplies, everyone looks quite fierce, and they don't welcome outsiders.

After all, supplies were limited. In the eyes of those people, one more survivor meant one less food, water, and even medicine. In addition, because there were several beautiful girls among them, they would also be stared at with ill intent by the survivors.

But the feeling here is different. Everyone doesn't seem to worry too much about how much supplies they will consume, and they don't care too much about their situation. This makes them feel very comfortable, but also very abnormal. After all, before the end of the world, this is not strange, but now the world has become like this, then... This is a bit strange.

However, the discussion was fruitless and everyone decided to go back to their rooms to rest. They were given a double room, a total of three rooms, just enough for six people. And more importantly, they could take a shower here! The girls who were escaping outside had long been looking forward to taking a hot shower.

Until dinner time, everyone was immersed in the peace and stability that they had not enjoyed for a long time. Even the shouting of zombies could not be heard nearby. It felt as if they were really just out for a trip.

When it was dinner time, someone asked them to go to the restaurant for dinner. Everyone was hungry, so they followed the soldier in uniform towards the restaurant.

“How strange…”

At this time, the fat man whispered beside him.

“It seems like the people here don’t care about us at all.”

"What do you mean?"

"You see, the shelters we visited before all treated outsiders as enemies, fearing that we would be infected, right?"

"That's true."

Hearing the fat man's words, the twin-tailed girl nodded unhappily. They had been to other shelters before, but the other party was very unwelcoming to them, and even asked them to take off their clothes for inspection, and only after confirming that there were no scars on their bodies could they enter. The girls could not stand such humiliation, and they turned hostile and left on the spot.

When they came here, they were prepared to be imprisoned or examined, but they did not expect that the attitude towards them was very calm, as if they were not worried at all that they were infected.

When they walked into the restaurant, many people were already seated, and most of them were wearing strange military uniforms. The survivors had discussed this before, and the fat military otaku swore that this was definitely not the uniform of this country, and he had never seen any country's military uniforms that looked like this. As for the double-headed eagle and skull hammer as symbols, it was unheard of.

So the military geek thought that this was most likely a special operations force. As for what the Inquisition was... he didn't know either.

Seeing these young people, the others had mixed reactions. Some smiled at them with gloating eyes, while others shook their heads speechlessly. This made several people quite nervous and uneasy. They couldn't tell whether they were welcome or not. All in all, the atmosphere in the restaurant was quite weird.

The black-haired girl walked around the restaurant and found the short-haired girl she had met before was also sitting next to them, so she led the others over - after all, they had met before and it would be easier to communicate.

"Ms. Mikazuki, can we sit here?"

"Hmm? Of course."

The short-haired girl nodded at the black-haired girl and chuckled.

"Okay, don't be nervous. There's nothing to be afraid of. They are just...watching you make fun of them."

"Are you seeing a joke?"

Hearing the short-haired woman's words, everyone was a little confused for a moment. However, at this moment, a heavy footsteps sounded, and then a female voice without any pauses emerged.

"What would you like to eat?"

When they heard this, everyone thought it was the waiter coming and turned to look - then they were shocked.

At the table next to them, there stood a maid dressed like the kind of maid you see in a maid cafe. But unlike an ordinary maid, most of her face was covered with iron sheets, and there was only an iron grille where her mouth used to be. And one of her legs looked like it was made by a machine. The woman who used to be pretty, now had her hair completely shaved off, and half of her face, which looked like a Terminator, looked particularly creepy.

"Whoa!"

"ah-----!"

Seeing this terrifying guy, the survivors were immediately scared to death. The leading boy jumped up, and the fat military guy next to him fell to the ground. The two girls hugged each other tightly, and the little girl was so scared that she hid in the arms of the female doctor next to her. Even the black-haired girl changed her expression and reached out her hand to press the hilt of the sword at her waist in doubt, almost drawing the sword.

"YEAH————!"

However, at this moment, the entire restaurant cheered. A few people looked around blankly, only to see other people in the restaurant cheering with their hands raised high.

"Look, I told you I'd be scared. Come on, don't deny your debt!"

"He's just a little kid, he'll definitely be scared. What's the point of betting?" Someone took out a bottle of beer and put it on the table unhappily.

"Then you still gambled?"

"I thought they were very courageous. After all, these kids are so young, and they have managed to survive out there until now. They must have some courage."

"Hahaha, so you lost the bet."

Looking at the others' excited expressions, the survivors were stunned and speechless, but at least they knew that this should not be an emergency, so they carefully sat back at the table, and the short-haired girl snapped her fingers.

"A set of A meals."

"clear."

The Terminator maid nodded, then looked at everyone else. Just when everyone didn't know what to do, the short-haired girl's voice sounded again.

"You guys also ordered meal A. Actually, there's nothing else to eat except meal A. She asked that question just because it was programmed... At least she had some feeling."

"Ah, yes..."

No one was surprised by this, after all, this was the end of the world, and food was always a big problem. So they ordered their meals, and then watched the Terminator maid stagger to other tables to order food.

"So, what is that?"

Only then did the twin-tailed girl come to her senses, with a look of fear and trepidation on her face.

"Oh, that's a servitor."

At this moment, the short-haired girl was also staring at them with a smile and began to explain.

"You can think of it as a robot, but it's made from humans."

"Transformed by humans?"

This answer surprised everyone even more, and the short-haired girl shrugged her shoulders.

"Yes, they are all unlucky people who violated the rules of the Inquisition and were reformed. Of course, for us, this is no big deal."

"You, how could you do such a thing!"

The other girl was obviously frightened by this.

"this is not right!"

"Why is that wrong? They violated the rules of the court, so they must be punished."

"But, but you can't turn people into monsters like this!"

"Why not? Then what do you think we should do?"

"They can be punished..."

“This is the punishment.”

“You can let them go to work…”

“They’re working right now.”

The short-haired girl pointed at the figure of the robot servant.

"And they won't have any feelings. Theoretically, they are already dead. Now these servitors are just a group of living dead who will follow orders. It's that simple."

"So, what rules did these people break?"

In contrast to the surprise and anger of the others, the black-haired girl who had been sitting nearby in silence actually opened her mouth and asked.

The short-haired girl glanced at her and then looked away.

"Oh, now there are three servitors. Let me think..."

As she spoke, the short-haired girl extended a finger.

"The first unlucky guy was one of us who escaped with us. We met the Inquisitor at that time. They taught us how to fight, but that guy didn't want to fight. He even threatened the members of the Inquisition with the weapon given to him by the Inquisitor, so he was turned into a servitor."

"…………………"

"The second guy is from a group of survivors. He seems to be used to bullying others outside, and he didn't stop even in the Tribunal. He even wanted to attack Miss Ellie..."

"Ms. Ellie?"

"Well...anyway, this idiot was naturally taken away to be made into a robot servant. By the way, his ability is nothing to Miss Ellie. He would be dead if she moved her little finger. He is really ignorant and fearless."

At this point, the short-haired girl snorted coldly, obviously despising the guy.

"This guy is now assigned to clean the sewers, which suits him quite well."

"So, what's the reason for that lady?"

The first two were men, and the third robot servant was this woman. Compared with the first two, everyone still didn’t quite understand why this woman was made into a robot servant.

"Oh, it's actually funny."

The short-haired girl chuckled.

"This woman is pretty, and maybe she made a living from this before the disaster. But she got so obsessed that she tried to seduce the Judge, and was kicked out by the Judge. Then she started to stir up trouble, and even tried to use her body to win over others and create chaos inside. But after the truth was revealed, she was turned into a robot servant."

At this point, the short-haired girl snorted.

"How foolish! You dare to do something like that under the nose of the judge. I'm afraid you don't even know how to write the word death."

"…………………"

After listening to the short-haired girl's story, the others had complicated expressions. Just from what they heard, they felt that these people deserved their crimes and should be punished.

But just because of this, the other party should be turned into a robot servant?

Is this too... excessive? Although after so much, these survivors also understand that the world has long lost its rules and order, but such blatant and naked violence still makes them feel a little uncomfortable. But seeing the other people's expressions, they don't seem to care about it, and the other soldiers seem to have gotten used to the servitor.

“You should remember this, too.”

The short-haired girl stopped smiling and stared at them seriously.

"Don't challenge the Inquisitor's authority in the courtroom, or you won't even get death."

"…………………"

Facing the short-haired girl's warning, everyone swallowed their saliva.

Now they are becoming more and more uneasy about their future.
