Doomsday Mechs: Starting with a Manufacturing Army

"Buddha."

Fang Jie muttered to himself, his eyes filled with intense emotion.

What country or nation?

What relatives?

What comrades-in-arms and relatives?

At this moment, with the collapse of faith, everything is rapidly slipping away.

It seems like all it takes is one step forward.

Then one can cast aside the three thousand worries and enter that blissful Pure Land.

Sizzle! Boom!

Accompanied by a bolt of lightning that resounded through the sky, a deep and solemn voice, as resonant as a great bell, rang out.

"Now that you have seen the Buddha, why don't you bow down?"

That feeling.

It's as if a believer has betrayed his faith.

Fang Jie felt a sense of guilt and a fear of abandoning his faith, and instinctively wanted to kneel down.

"Fang Jie!"

Jiang Yi's loud shout instantly woke Fang Jie up.

What came into view was not a Buddha at all.

It was clearly a fat zombie dressed in a monk's robe, currently engaged in a fierce battle with Jiang Yi's robot.

"What...what's going on?"

"You've been infected."

Jiang Yi looked at Fang Jie and said something.

"Be careful. The infection here doesn't seem to be directly fatal, but rather it's affecting your nerve signals in some way. Don't let it mislead your perceptions."

"No wonder."

Fang Jie, pale-faced, clenched his fists.

"No wonder I felt so strange, why was I so scared?"

His gaze slowly turned fierce and ruthless, his palms gradually turned black, and then he charged forward.

Looking at the zombie wearing a monk's robe, its fat body rotting.

Its immense strength was far beyond that of ordinary zombies.

"Buddha?"

Jiang Yi withdrew his gaze and used the radar function to sense the approaching figures.

Slowly turn around and look at the end of the corridor, at the emergency exit door of the stairwell.

Thirteen fully armed soldiers suddenly appeared there.

And holding a rifle, the moment they saw him, they unleashed a torrent of fire.

Jiang Yi stood still, without moving an inch.

Seven R-type robots suddenly rushed out of the room and blocked his way.

Ping pong.

The sound of metal clashing was as dense as raindrops.

"You are no longer human, don't blame me."

Jiang Yi looked at the dozen or so soldiers, his tone carrying a hint of respect.

"Activate battle mode."

He said it casually.

The seven R-type robots immediately started running their algorithms frantically, constantly calculating the best attack angles and moves, and charged forward in coordination.

Not long after.

That solved the problem of those thirteen soldiers.

But then, a dense sound of footsteps echoed throughout the building, and the horde of zombies attacked once again.

Jiang Yi did not hesitate at all.

"Activate Tyrant Mode."

This time, his order was directed at all robots.

moment.

The seven R-type robots and the ever-energized F-type robots unleashed unprecedented combat power.

inside the house.

Ten F-type robots that have activated Tyrant Mode, plus Fang Jie who possesses supernatural abilities.

Soon, the obese zombie dressed in monk's robes began to struggle to keep up.

Jiang Yi strolled leisurely into the house and looked at the Buddha statue that was also placed inside.

It's the same as the one at the old lady's house before.

only.

A poem is engraved on the base below.

No Bodhi tree, nor stand mirror.

There is nothing, where can the dust be.

"Since that old man was lying, I wonder what about his son?"

Jiang Yi noticed this.

Although this obese zombie wearing a monk's robe was completely rotting.

However, only the skin was rotting; the flesh beneath it was human-like, white with a pinkish tinge, showing no signs of mutation.

"It seems things may not be as that old man said."

In addition, there were unusual plants below when entering the community.

And the old lady, however, did not show any abnormalities.

Jiang Yi could almost be certain.

All of this must be the work of that old woman.

Moreover, all of this is not related to superpowers.

Thinking of this.

Jiang Yi did not hesitate at all.

He moved the two newly assembled R-type robots to his side, and under conditions sufficient for them to operate normally, he forced out two drops of R-type living metal.

The remaining R-type robots have become extremely integrated due to the influence of the supernatural flames.

Moreover, he had already calculated the exact amount of R-type living metal used in those five R-type robots, down to the last millimeter.

Then.

He held two drops of R-type living metal in his palm and looked at the fat zombie in monk's robes that had been kicked over by the F-type robot.

While the other party was not paying attention

Jiang Yi quickly threw out the two drops of R-type living metal.

It quickly infiltrated.

"Stimulates brain nerves to restore normal perception."

Under his control.

Two drops of R-type living metal began to spread continuously within the zombie, seemingly resisting the substances affecting its body.

"Roar! Ah!!!"

The zombie let out a roar at first, but quickly it turned into a normal human roar.

"Let's stop for now."

Jiang Yi called out to Fang Jie and simultaneously stopped the ten F-type robots.

Looking at the monk-robed zombie rolling on the ground, its body gradually returning to a normal human form.

Soon.

A bald man covered in wounds and wearing loose monk's robes appeared before the two, showing no signs of infection.

Fang Jie was shocked.

"He's...back to normal?"

"No, that's because he wasn't mutated to begin with."

Jiang Yi said calmly.

He crouched down and looked at the bald man lying on the ground.

"Are you Chen Senlin? Tell me, what happened here?"

"None of your business, fuck!"

The bald man cursed, then raised his hand and suddenly stretched it out towards the door.

Jiang Yi and Fang Jie looked at his actions with suspicion.

The bald man repeated it several times.

Their gazes gradually turned to shock.

"Me, my special ability."

"How could this happen? It's gone."

"Superpowers?"

Jiang Yi sensed the other party's physical data but did not find any abnormal human cells. Clearly, the other party was not a superhuman.

"Have you ever had superpowers?"

"It's none of your business... Ah!!"

Jiang Yi grabbed the bald man by the neck with one hand.

"explain."

"I'll talk, I'll talk, I'm Chen Senlin."

The bald man managed to make a sound.

Jiang Yi released his grip, coughed violently several times, and then struggled to sit up on the floor, saying...

"I used to have superpowers, but after my mother, that old hag, gave me a cup of tea, I turned into a zombie."

"I don't have any superpowers now, and that's probably related to her too."

"What exactly happened here?"

Jiang Yi asked directly.

Chen Senlin shook his head. "I don't know either."

"But it should be related to that cult called 'All Beings' that my mother joined."

"The Cult of All Beings?"

"Um."

Chen Senlin nodded.

"Before the apocalypse, my mom would go out to get cheap things, like eggs, and occasionally buy some overpriced health supplements."

"I even argued with her about this."

"But she insisted that I was possessed by a demon, that it was from gambling."

"I figured this wasn't a solution, so I brought her money to me to keep it safe."

"If you're going to gamble, then gamble. What's the big deal about keeping it safe?"

Jiang Yi interrupted him, "Let's get down to business."

Chen Senlin gave an awkward, sheepish laugh, and then continued.

Actually, everything was fine at first.

"Even after the apocalypse, before the government carried out its cleanup operation, all sorts of food and drinks started appearing in my house in large quantities."

"I remember asking my mom where these things came from when I hadn't bought them at all."

"Then she said it was sent by the previous sect of sentient beings."

"At first, I thought it would be good to have food and drink. Maybe the people who delivered the supplies were risking their lives to do so. They might actually be a group of people who are doing good for all living beings."

"But later, I found that those things seemed to appear out of thin air; no one ever came to deliver them."

"And my mom has been acting increasingly strange, talking nonsense all the time, saying things like 'Buddha is merciful.'"

At this point, Chen Senlin's tone seemed to become somewhat serious, tinged with lingering fear.

"But one day, for some reason, I suddenly gained the ability to communicate with plants. I looked it up online and found out it was a special ability."

"I was so happy."

"But it was on that day that I discovered we weren't eating rice, flour, or cooking oil at all, but human flesh..."

Chen Senlin's voice trembled as he spoke.
