Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1768 Raising Gu
It didn't take an hour at all. The First Fleet completely occupied a city without any armed forces in less than half an hour.

It was very strange at the beginning. The local forces rushed towards the Marines of the Promise Corps as if they saw an enemy. They could hardly muster the courage to resist the steel giants that were dozens of meters high. However, when they saw that the MS troops and the fleet did not launch an attack on the city, they targeted the relatively soft persimmon.

"It's really hard to understand. A group of social people with sticks and knives dared to attack the fully armed Marines when they didn't dare to confront the MS and the fleet?" Yang Hui was very surprised. MS and warships were scary, so were the Marines not scary? The Marines now were not made of flesh and blood, but super soldiers equipped with reinforced exoskeletons that covered their entire bodies. Moreover, they were all made of a new type of super metal developed by the research department. The outer armor of the Macross-class battleship was made of the same material as the reinforced exoskeleton. To be frank, they could be regarded as super-small MSs. Just because they were smaller, they dared to attack with knives?
"Afraid, but don't want to admit defeat." Graham shrugged and walked on the dilapidated streets of the city with Yang Hui, You Lin and others. Occasionally, someone would secretly look at them from the dark, but no one dared to come forward and do anything to Yang Hui and the others, even if they were just walking on the street in the flesh.

"I can't see the situation clearly, so I die quickly." Yang Hui shook his head and said. The streets were full of bullet holes and small pits and charred black from grenade explosions. The Marines just cleared out a large number of resistance personnel, at least hundreds of thousands of people, right? They were all mentally confused and attacked the Marines. Now the streets have been cleaned up, otherwise what comes into view is not just a few remaining bloodstains and traces of fighting.

"Where are we going now?" Graham asked Yang Hui. After all, they had been walking on this street for almost half an hour, just wandering aimlessly without a destination.

"Just take a walk."

"be lazy?"

"Who said I was being lazy? This is also a way of collecting intelligence." Yang Hui rolled his eyes. Cruze was in charge of interrogating those in the central area, the city's public security was managed by the Marines and MS troops, and there was also a fleet patrolling the sky. Yang Hui and his team did not need to do any of these jobs. Out of boredom, Yang Hui was collecting intelligence in his own way.

"Look at this street, what do you see?" Yang Hui asked Graham.

“It’s just an ordinary street.”

"...Have you not noticed that we haven't seen a single store so far?"

"That's true." Graham thought about it. It was true. Stores were a necessity for human civilization. Where there was demand, there was trade. Humans were social creatures, and trade was one of the most basic ways of communication and interaction. So...without stores, would there be no trade at all? And stores were also a kind of entertainment facility. He didn't see any. Didn't people here need entertainment?

"I asked Cruze to send someone to investigate. The entire city is inhabited, but there are no shops, entertainment, restaurants... Not only that, there is no city government, police station, fire station or other urban infrastructure. Isn't it strange?"

"...like livestock kept in a pigsty." Graham thought for a moment and gave his answer.

"Inaccurate." Yang Hui shared the information Cruze had collected with everyone.

"This is!"

"Yes, someone is raising Gu."

This city has a specific order and is divided into a central area and an ordinary area. The entire city has only houses for people to live in, and no other facilities. All life needs and entertainment are provided by special supply warehouses that are delivered from time to time. There is everything in the warehouses, but the quantity is limited, and not everyone can enjoy them. Therefore, the warehouses are divided into areas according to a certain range, and each area has its own organization. Street fights are a fight for ownership of the supply warehouse. When one force gets the supply warehouse, it will be divided equally among all the people in the area.

That’s right, it was divided equally, not distributed according to need. No one embezzled, and no one refused. It was divided equally.

Then there was the central area. According to Cruze's report, the people in the central area were not spectators, but the winners of the street fights. Every once in a while, the organization that grabbed more supply warehouses would have someone selected and receive a notice out of thin air, allowing them to live in the central area. They would also be allocated housing in advance, and then...

People in the central area do not enjoy their lives there all the time. Instead, after living there for a while, they will receive orders from unknown sources and be suddenly teleported to leave the city and join a fleet that suddenly appears. They will take up various positions and fight at designated locations. Either they will all die in battle, or they will completely eliminate the target in the order. So far, no one has seen anyone who has been sent away come back. Once they are selected to fight, there is no return.

Another point is that the people here don't know the concept of old people and children, and they don't even understand the concept of mating. The number of people living in this city is fixed. If there are not many people sent away, there will be many people sent in. The people sent in are all young and middle-aged, with no old people or children. "Is it the same for other forces?" Graham asked Yang Hui.

"If nothing unexpected happens..."

"Raising Gu."

"more or less."

"No one resisted?"

"No."

"Isn't this too strange?"

"Yes, I even doubt whether these people... are really human." Yang Hui glanced at the few people who just poked their heads out to peek at Yang Hui and others, his eyes were a little cold, "These people... their mental waves are abnormal, at least they are different from ordinary humans."

"You mean..."

"I have asked the medical department to take someone for examination. I believe there will be results soon."

"It's...disgusting."

"Yes."

The group walked for about half an hour, and Yang Hui asked someone to pick them up. Observing one street was enough, because this city is like this. No matter how long they walked, they would only see the same scenery.

"Yang Hui, Cruze's latest information."

"Let me see... Hmm? It seems that the way to pass the first level has been revealed." Yang Hui looked at Cruze's report, his mouth curled up coldly, "Kati, can you contact Promise?"

"No, this cover blocks all means of communication. If we want to pass on information, we need to go back outside." Katie shook her head and said.

"Then let's go. There's no point in staying here any longer."

"learn."

"Oh, by the way, set up the reaction bombs before you leave. Don't keep this kind of breeding farm."
