Doomsday Mechs: Starting with a Manufacturing Army

"Although your son is a bit dark-skinned, he's still your son!"

"Jiang Yi, I admit I cheated on you, but are you completely innocent? If you hadn't been spending all your time studying that pile of junk, why would I have cheated?"

"If you don't pay child support, I'll sue you!"

"..."

Inside an apartment high up in the building, a handsome young man with messy hair and a slightly thin build, wearing a white lab coat, gently touches the cold windowpane with his fingers.

Listening to the shameless remarks on the phone, which were no different from those of a shrew, Jiang Yi hung up the phone without any change in expression.

"I have no money, but you can take my life if you dare. Come and get it if you want."

Boom!

Outside the window, a fierce wind howled in the dim sky, and torrential rain washed over the tall buildings and the streets were filled with cars and people.

Countless screams and cries rang out in a dense, overwhelming sound.

"The apocalypse, has it finally arrived?"

Standing on the ground, Jiang Yi adjusted his glasses, a cold glint flashing across the lenses.

"It's wrong, it really wasn't me..."

He muttered to himself.

As a robotics engineer specializing in AI, he had already noticed the anomaly two years ago.

They believe that the laws governing this world have begun to malfunction.

So they raised the issue with the company and the relevant local authorities.

This illustrates the urgency of the impending end times.

However, nobody cared. Everyone thought he was talking nonsense.

Jiang Yi refused to give up and continued to promote it on social media, insisting that everyone understand that it was true and not just some temporary nonsense.

But still, nobody believed it, and not only that.

Not only was he fired by his former company, but he was also sent to a mental hospital.

This ordeal lasted for six months. During that time, his so-called wife not only did not try to save him, but also continued to have affairs.

After being discharged from the hospital, Jiang Yi discovered that not only had his ex-wife spent all the money in his account, but she had also brought their son, who was imported from Africa, to ask him for child support.

He keeps nagging me, constantly asking for money.

He didn't argue with her; he simply got a divorce.

Compared to this kind of woman, Jiang Yi only wanted to do one thing: seize the time to deal with the impending apocalypse.

At the same time, he stopped spending time trying to convince people of his beliefs and instead sold the two houses left by his deceased parents, spent all his savings, and began researching AI robots.

In the eyes of this madman in the eyes of the world.

When the end times come, all crises are unpredictable.

Life is precious, and most of the time it is difficult to make a judgment on complex situations in a short period of time.

The only way out is to arm ourselves with technology.

"It seems there's some kind of virus in this rainwater; I wonder if it's contagious."

Jiang Yi held binoculars and looked at the situation on the nearby streets downstairs.

Some people went mad like wild beasts, recklessly chasing and killing all the normal people around them in the torrential rain.

Tearing, bloodshed, madness.

It is happening in an extremely chaotic manner.

Social order has completely spiraled out of control.

Furthermore, as the torrential rain intensified, Jiang Yi could feel the temperature around him dropping rapidly.

This is far more terrifying than the apocalypse Jiang Yi had imagined.

He looked at the thermometer hanging in the room.

The temperature had already reached zero degrees Celsius and was dropping rapidly.

"Damn it, we need to stockpile electricity quickly."

Jiang Yi frowned and muttered to himself.

We entered the living room.

He had already transformed the apartment he had rented for over a year into a research lab.

The enormous equipment was prominently displayed in the living room. Three robots, each about 1.6 meters tall and weighing around 80 kilograms, were suspended from a shelf by chains, their bodies densely covered with data cables.

The other bedrooms are used for data storage and power storage, as well as storage rooms for parts, materials, and food.

Everything is geared towards preparing for the end times.

Although he had done his best.

However, the three current "Zero" robots are still powered by electricity, and their battery life is only about three hours.

It can only handle some simple tasks and perform pre-programmed behaviors autonomously; it still mainly requires human control.

The research and development process was far more difficult than he had imagined.

Jiang Yi connected one of the robots that was not fully charged and canceled the test mode.

At the same time, all the energy storage devices in the house were charged.

According to his estimate.

If this continues, it won't be long before Yuncheng's power supply is paralyzed.

Buzz!

Just then, his cell phone in his pocket suddenly started ringing incessantly.

Jiang Yi took out his phone and saw that he had been added to the homeowners' group.

"With this much rain, the first floor will probably be flooded by tonight. Is the drain clogged? @Property Management"

"Damn, I saw someone outside starting to bite people?"

The neighborhood auntie said, "Don't panic, everyone. Stay home and everything will be fine."

"No way! My house is about to flood! Come and fix this already!"

"..."

"I saw people outside starting to eat...eat their own kind. Are they zombies?"

"Damn it, is it really the end of the world?"

"..."

Seeing the various arguments and panic in the group, Jiang Yi calmly turned off his phone and turned on the group chat's "Do Not Disturb" function.

He had already said this two years ago, but everyone just took it as a joke.

Right now, there's only one thing he wants to do.

Then live a good life.

Ding-dong! At that moment, a video message came in from an unknown number.

"Jiang Yi, something's happened! There are monsters outside! Come save me!"

In the video, a dark-skinned baby is held in the arms of Xu Qingqing, the ex-wife, and looks pitifully at the camera.

The door behind him was being pounded on repeatedly in accompaniment to the monster's roar.

"I called the police, but they are short-staffed and can't come. If you don't come to save me, your son will die."

Several black lines appeared on Jiang Yi's forehead.

Hang up and block immediately.

This woman is clearly a runaway lover trying to take advantage of me.

"roar!!"

Almost simultaneously, a frantic roar suddenly came from the apartment corridor outside the door, followed by a series of rapid footsteps.

"Help! Help me!!"

A series of knocks and cries for help rang out.

The knocking continued, but no one answered.

Finally, they arrived at Jiang Yi's door.

"Please, open the door! Open the door! I'm fucking stupid, open the door!"

The man outside the door roared hysterically, his voice filled with heavy breathing and exhaustion.

Jiang Yi took out his phone and started watching the surveillance camera installed outside the door.

Just then, I saw a middle-aged man covered in sweat being bitten on the carotid artery by a JK schoolgirl with a ferocious face.

"ah!!"

With a scream, the middle-aged man's pupils turned gray at a visible speed.

A large amount of blood was sprayed onto the door.

Jiang Yi frowned slightly.

"This is such a hassle."

He felt a sense of dissatisfaction watching the JK schoolgirl tearing apart the middle-aged man's corpse.

A corpse lies across the doorway. How long will it take to start gnawing on it?

and.

As large amounts of blood spurted out, Jiang Yi saw that other zombies were beginning to appear in the surveillance footage of the corridor.

"Such a sensitive sense of smell?"

Jiang Yi looked at the screen on his phone, sorting through the information in his mind, as he walked toward the iron frame where the three Zero robots were hanging.

"It seems that this virus can not only cause normal people to become abnormal, but also cause mutations in the human body to a certain extent."

He pulled out all the wires from one of the robots.

"Activate absolute defense mode."

Jiang Yi tapped his glasses, and a light screen immediately appeared on the lenses, displaying the robot's real-time data.

The robot obeyed his command, and the eerie green light in its deep, cold silver eye sockets turned into a cold blue.

"Absolute defense mode activated."

In order to enable Robot Zero to cope with as many situations as possible, Jiang Yi not only stored a large amount of knowledge in the database.

They also underwent extensive training in martial arts and combat techniques.

In addition to the absolute defense mode outside of the normal state.

There are also Tyrant Mode, Attack Mode, and Patrol Mode.

Of course, Jiang Yi's plans went far beyond this.

However, many of the envisioned models require more robots, more training, and more data.

Due to his limited funds, Jiang Yi currently only possesses these three "Zero" first-generation robots.

This was the result of him spending all his savings.

The approximately 1.6-meter-tall Zero-generation prototype walked with cold steps toward the door.

Jiang Yi placed his hand on the chair beside him, his gaze fixed intently on the direction of the door.

The moment the door was pushed open.

A gust of wind carrying the stench of blood rushed into the room, and drops of blood dripped from the door onto the floor.

The three zombies, with their dark pupils and crazed, blood-soaked faces, also raised their heads.

He looked past the robot and at Jiang Yi inside the room, letting out a loud roar.

And almost at the same time, they got up and tried to rush into the house.
