Chapter 29 The battle should indeed be over.

"Captain Oleg, look over there, why are there so many robots suddenly here?!"

The members of the Underworld were all shocked when they saw the torrent of steel coming from afar. However, Oleg smiled and patted others on the shoulders, saying, "Don't worry, Swarovski must be here to take his little girl home. He never cares about the troubles caused by people like us in the lower class."

This sounded reasonable, but the closer the robots got, the more it felt wrong. Until the humanoid robot standing in the front jumped high and accurately blocked Kevin and Clara.

"Humans belonging to the Earth Fire, leave here, otherwise you will be included in the list of targets for suppression."

As soon as the words fell, Swarovski did not give anyone else any time to react, and suddenly swung his huge iron fist towards Kevin.

boom! ! !

A hole with a diameter of half a meter was smashed into the hard ground, and Kevin, who was the target of the attack, was standing one meter away without knowing when.

"The target is moving too fast to be captured. The threat level continues to rise. Unlock destructive firepower..."

The single eye in the center of the head continued to emit an extremely dangerous red light. From the cold mechanical sound, anyone present could probably hear how bad the situation was.

"Wait, Mr. Swarovski, what's going on? This gentleman just saved me, he..."

"Stand back, Clara." Swarovski pushed Clara, who was trying to explain, behind him without saying anything. At the same time, he stared at Kevin and explained, "The system has determined that the other party is a non-human with a very high threat level. His existence will seriously affect the survival of the lower area."

As a robot that relies on arithmetic logic to make judgments and actions, Swarlow will never question the judgment made by the system, even if the optimal result obtained to protect the lower areas is to completely eliminate the unnecessary resistance of human beings.

"Hey! How can you be so important to the lower level area? Kevin has only been in the lower level area for less than a day, but he has done much better than a piece of rotten metal like you!"

Given Xier's violent temper, she would not indulge Swarovski. The opponent launched an attack right from the start, so why are they still trying to reason with him?

Even if we have to talk about it, it will be after we have almost dismantled this piece of scrap metal!

"Issuing an ultimatum, Xi'er, who is affiliated with the Earth Fire, if you don't back down, you will be included in the list of targets for extermination."

Obviously, as a robot that thinks purely through logic and arithmetic, Swarovski had no intention of negotiating any terms with them. He protected Clara behind him with one hand, and aimed at Seer who was blocking the way with the other hand.

Before Xier could say anything more harsh, a huge amount of energy had already been accumulated in Swarovski's hands, and the next moment a dazzling light poured out.

boom--!

No matter how fast humans are, they can't be faster than lasers... Of course, Kevin is not one of them.

Just like Swarovski who protected Clara behind him, Kevin also stood in front of Xier. The laser that was powerful enough to destroy most of the rock was easily blocked by him with just one hand.

“That’s why I hate certain AIs, because their chips just don’t listen to any reason.”

While Kevin was still sighing in a low voice, Swarovski had already entrusted Clara to the care of the robot that came from behind, and he himself focused all his attention on Kevin.

"Mission accomplished, annihilation operation begins."

As the mechanical sound fell, several thick gun barrels popped out from various parts of Swarovski's body, and without exception, all of them were aimed at Kevin not far away.

The next second, dozens of shells were fired mercilessly, drawing lines of fire in the air and heading straight for Kevin's side.

It might even be that he already knew that his opponent was not so easy to deal with, so Swarovski also ordered several tall humanoid robots beside him to rush out together, waving their weapons and surrounding the opponent.

Facing such an attack, Kevin still stood there calmly, quietly waiting for the shells to rush towards him and explode.

boom----!

Along with the deafening explosion, what finally appeared before everyone's eyes was not the sky-high flames accompanied by a violent impact, but... a whole piece of crystal clear ice? !

Those dozens of high-yield weapons that could easily blow up a building seemed to have all turned into duds. Even Kevin, who walked out of the ice and frost, did not retreat, but instead stepped towards the mechanical soldiers rushing towards him.

The armed robot at the front came to Kevin first, and the steel blade raised high in its hand tore through the air with the help of the thruster, and swung down with astonishing speed and power.

boom--!

This blow, which should have been able to cut through steel easily, was easily avoided by Kevin by slightly turning sideways. Before he could raise his weapon again, Kevin, who had jumped high, kicked him hard in the chest.

This machine weighing several tons flew backwards in a strange posture under the influence of gravity, and even the machines following it were affected. After being dragged for several meters, they fell heavily to the ground.

These heavy machines lying there struggled several times, but ultimately failed amidst the dull sounds of gear collisions and electric arcs.

"Isn't this kind of armed force enough to clean up the rifts in the lower areas?"

In order to prevent these armed machines from being damaged, Kevin deliberately retained most of his strength. Otherwise, their fate would probably be similar to those of the previous world-ripping creatures, and only some ice chips would be left.

"The encirclement and suppression plan is ineffective. We are starting to implement fire coverage."

As Swarovski's voice fell again, this time not only did he himself burst out with fierce firepower, but many other machines beside him also exposed their ferocious gun barrels and began to infuse firepower at Kevin without any bottom line.

Boom—boom—boom—!

Bursts of fire and violent explosions continued to sound, but Kevin, who was standing in the center of the blast, only had his clothes slightly blown away by the fierce impact.

With a calm and composed expression on his face, Kevin raised his hand and swung it down again. The madly burning flames were instantly cut open by the strong wind and frost. However, what came into view was Swarovski who appeared in front of him at some point, and his iron fist that kept getting bigger as if it could smash everything.

"It is time for the battle to end."

boom! ! !

Chapter 30: What about the chips on the other side of the scale?

Until the last explosion just now, there was no chance for other people to step forward and intervene in the fight - most of the people in the Dihuo were still using the engineer mining draft as their main weapon, did you ask them to step forward and use it to block bullets?

Even for Xier, her specialty was only speed, and she had no way of getting close to the center of the explosion.

From everyone's perspective, they only saw Kevin being covered by fire first, then Swarovski rushed into the explosion to attack, and then when the smoke and dust cleared the next moment, Swarovski was already half-kneeling on the ground with no room for movement.

"System warning, the body shock rate is as high as 54%, the main engine is in low temperature freezing mode, try to restart the main engine... Restart failed."

"Conclusion: The battlefield situation is very different, the remaining chance of winning is no more than 1%, the annihilation operation has failed, and the self-destruction protocol is allowed to be initiated..."

A careful observation would reveal that although there seemed to be nothing serious on the surface, frost had actually formed on Swarlow's various joints and cold air was emitting from them. One could imagine the real situation inside his body.

"Initiating... self-destruct protocol..."

Logically speaking, for a machine that was born entirely for combat, its true self-destruction process wouldn't have any ridiculous countdown like in movies and TV shows, but for some reason, Swarovski was stuck at this moment.

"No, you can't get into trouble, or that little girl will hate me to death."

Kevin, who stood quietly in front of Swarovski, gently patted the dust off his shoulders. He said he was fighting, but in fact he didn't even use the baseball bat which was not even a weapon. He was just acting with empty hands.

Compared to destroying this robot that was actually created to protect the lower area, he was actually more curious about why the other party would target him for attack?

"Wait, please don't hurt Mr. Swarlow!"

When she found that the battle had finally come to an end, Clara immediately rushed forward and opened her arms to block Swarovski. It was not because she thought Kevin would not hurt her, but because she would subconsciously abandon her own safety to do so.

"Mr. Swarovski... Mr. Swarovski definitely didn't mean to hurt anyone. He is usually very gentle, and everything he does is for the people in the lower district to survive longer. That's it, that's it..."

Clara wanted to try to speak for Swarovski, but she also knew very well that Swarovski's attack just now was obviously aimed at killing people, and at this time it was obvious that nothing she said would be of any use.

No matter how sweet the words are, they cannot change the ironclad fact. If Kevin had not been capable enough, he would have died in the explosion. How could he have had the chance to listen to her talk so much?

"...Mr. Swarovski, why on earth did you suddenly launch an attack?"

After calming down for a moment, Clara finally thought of the crux of the problem. As a mechanical life, even if Swarovski's calculation results may not be consistent with human sensibility, they should definitely not be wrong.

"Clara... The system analysis shows that the target is a very threatening special non-human, who is very likely to affect the survival of the lower zone and even accelerate the destruction of Beloberg."

Judging from this result alone, people who don’t know might think that Kevin is some huge and terrifying monster. This doesn’t sound like a description of a human being at all.

Clara glanced at Kevin, and then immediately looked at Swarlow with concern: "But, this gentleman is a normal human being no matter how you look at it? He just saved me, he must be a very gentle person... Is there something wrong with Mr. Swarlow's computing module?"

"The calculation results are questioned by Clara, and the system is being rechecked...Test results: The calculation module is normal, and the original conclusion is maintained."

"Mr. Swarlow?!"

Even a fool knows that at this time, he should at least admit his mistake and apologize. Is Mr. Swarlow a fool? !

"So why did we get such a conclusion? What's the reason?"

Kevin was of course very clear about the true condition of his body. From a biological perspective, it was indeed difficult for him to be classified as a human. As for the threat level, let alone Beloberg, completely destroying the entire planet was not a problem for him now.

But Kevin doesn't think that any robot can easily see through his true colors.

"Received a request, trying to retrieve the calculation process... System error, the item does not exist in the log... Try to retrieve again..."

"Since Mr. Swarovski can't even explain the reason, then there must be something wrong with the computing module. There's no doubt about it!" Seeing that Swarovski seemed to be stuck in a dead end of logical errors, Clara slapped him hard on the head, her tone filled with persistence and determination far beyond her age.

Mr. Swarlow's brain is definitely broken! It depends on her!

"Variables have appeared. The evaluation system is restarting... Variable one, Clara's doubts; variable two, the system log is lost... Correct the calculation conclusion and reduce the target threat rate to normal levels."

Seeing this situation, Kevin couldn't help but sigh and muttered, "Should I say it's really a robot? In a way, it's completely unresponsive."

However, Kevin could probably guess what was going on. Even if the robot in front of him was a product of the peak of civilization on this planet, and Beloberg had no way of replicating it at this moment, could it be that they really didn't even have the most basic operating capabilities?

He didn't believe that this was really a system failure caused by coincidence.

But on the other hand, this does prove that the guy named Cocolia is courageous enough.

So, what is the chip she puts on the other side of the scale?

"After enduring such a fierce attack...you are not hurt at all?!"

Xier tried very hard to wait until they solved the problem before speaking. She stared at Kevin, looking left and right, and almost touched him.

"This is really amazing. Before today, I would never have believed that young people can be so strong."

Oleg, who came a step later, was also staring at Kevin's body, which was not even covered with dust, and marveled at it. This group of people didn't think about the real business at all until a member of the Earth Fire suddenly reacted.

"Since Swarovski is no longer able to move, does that mean we can head to the upper area at any time?"

"It seems... yes?"

Chapter 31 Why do humans sleep in?

"Based on the current situation in Beloberg, the speed of the Rift's erosion, and the earth's marrow reserves as variables, the survival time of the upper zone is 234 days, with an error of no more than seven days. The calculation result is very clear: staying in the lower zone is the best survival strategy."

When the members of the Local Fire said they wanted to go to the upper area, Swarlow immediately gave a well-reasoned rebuttal: "Calculation results show that allowing the lower area to contact the upper area will increase the social contradictions in Beloberg and intensify the process of order collapse. The final result: unknown."

As a robot whose main responsibility is to maintain the lower area, Swarovski once explained to Dihuo why he chose not to open the passage between the two levels. But when a group of humans negotiate with a rigid robot, the result is predictable.

"Alas, I know your original intention is to allow the lower district to maintain peace for a longer period of time. But you also said that according to this trend, the destruction of the lower district is only a matter of time. You can't let us all watch the lower district die bit by bit, right?"

Oleg sighed and tried to persuade the stubborn robot. If the fight with Kevin hadn't left him incapacitated, he probably wouldn't have had such a chance.

But on one side there is a visible march towards destruction, while on the other side there is a struggle with an unknown outcome but the possibility of bringing light... No matter how slim the hope is, I believe that the vast majority of humans will choose the second option.

"Even under extremely harsh living conditions, humans cannot avoid division and struggle. But such behavior will only accelerate the destruction of Beloberg. I can't come up with any other valid calculation results."

However, this is indeed the truth. The problem of cold waves cannot be solved, the problem of resources cannot be solved, and the problem of the rift cannot be solved... Even if the underground fire can instantly gain control of the upper area, the final result will be in vain.

This struggle, which is meaningless given the reality of Beloberg, is simply an unreasonable waste of existing resources.

"Everyone in Dihuo just doesn't understand Mr. Swarovski's original intention. As long as everyone can sit together and communicate well and work together... the result will definitely turn around."

Clara is still just a young child, and in the innocent world of children, there is probably no problem that is completely unsolvable. They are always full of vigor and creativity... This is probably one of the reasons why Kevin was able to place hope on them.

"Human behavior will never deviate from rational calculation, Clara."

Swarovski did not directly answer Clara's question. He just tried to raise his creaking arms and gently placed his palm on Clara's little head.

"What's going on? It's as if we did something wrong. It was you who suddenly jumped out and attacked others without any explanation, okay?"

When it comes to aggressiveness, you have to look at Xier. She doesn't preach to you at all. She points at your nose and scolds you: "What calculation results and survival strategies? I don't have time to listen to your long speech. You said the result is unknown, why don't you let us go up and find those selfish guys?"

"Since you can't even stand up, why don't you just go home and become a nursing robot?!"

She was so emotional that she even stretched out her leg and kicked Swarovski in the side - of course, she didn't use much force.

"There's actually no need to make the atmosphere so tense. Even if we really want to counterattack the upper zone, it will take a long time for the Earth Fire to be fully prepared. Maybe by then things will have turned around."

Oleg stepped forward to act as a peacemaker, and said with reason: "Besides, the most important thing now is to deal with the chaotic situation in the mine. The underground fire can't even be idle."
