Doomsday Mechs: Starting with a Manufacturing Army

Seeing that Assistant Yuan had nodded, Vice Mayor Wan stopped insisting and addressed the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

"Call and ask them to allocate funds, and say that the military region has already agreed."

It's different from before the apocalypse.

Regardless of local debt or tax revenue after the apocalypse, almost everything related to money will become worthless.

The banking and financial industries were completely paralyzed.

The process of allocating funds is incredibly fast.

Less than half an hour.

One billion was transferred to the accounts of the two individuals.

Jiang Yi originally felt that exchanging waste paper for food was going too far.

But now that the other party is willing to take the money, he can't say anything more.

Upon seeing the money arrive in their accounts, the old lady and her youngest daughter-in-law smiled, their wrinkled faces scrunched up like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Oh my, what a just and upright official!"

"With this money, my son can finally rest in peace."

With that, the two turned and walked back.

The younger daughter-in-law helped the old lady walk back, saying as they went.

"Mom, you promised that I would get a third of the money later."

"Don't worry, Xiaohui, you're carrying my grandson now, how could I not give it to you..."

"..."

Watching the two figures walk away.

Jiang Yi shook his head and sighed slightly.

"How foolish!"

"Who can argue with that?"

Even Vice Mayor Wan couldn't help but shake his head.

"Her son was such a shrewd boss, and this is what happened to her family."

"But if they want money, then let them have money. The extra grain can be distributed to other people."

After a brief exchange of reflections, everyone...

That concludes today's inspection.

Before leaving, Jiang Yi said to Assistant Yuan.

"I might be staying here for a while, so this will be convenient. Therefore, I need a place to live, and ideally, an office and a laboratory."

"Can."

Assistant Yuan nodded.

He readily agreed to such a request.

And he immediately gave the order.

The reason Jiang Yi moved to a different place and vacated his laboratory and office here is because of this.

It's not that I think the feng shui here is better.

Rather, it's because he was the chief person in charge of the "Yuncheng No. 1" project.

In the military region, there are troops everywhere, which can be inconvenient at times.

Especially after Liu Yiyi joined the group.

But it's different in the factory area here.

As the person in charge, everyone here obeys his orders.

They could easily assign Liu Yiyi an identity and keep her openly by their side.

It helped my research.

At the same time, it will indeed make it easier to advance the "Yuncheng No. 1" project.

……

Since the last time she was surrounded and attacked by Fei Bozhong's team, and escaped at a great cost.

Zhong Yuanchao originally wanted to slaughter a few more neighborhoods so that the Bodhi tree could grow faster.

But what he didn't expect was...

Those officials actually sent out seven or eight people with special abilities specifically to hunt him down.

He was chased for over a thousand kilometers, and although he wasn't killed, he almost died from exhaustion.

We believe that the most dangerous place is the safest place.

So, taking advantage of the fact that those people weren't paying attention, he fled again that very night and quietly ran back to Yuncheng City.

"Damn it, that was ruthless."

Inside an uninhabited rural mud house.

Zhong Yuanchao reached out to warm his hands by the fire, shivering from the cold.

He was covered in sweat and his robe was filthy, but it wasn't torn at all.

However, there were several tears on the clothes on the chest, and there were faint signs of blood flowing out.

The Bodhi tree next to it was intact, and even seemed to have grown taller, with many more brain fruits on it.

Zhong Yuanchao thought for a moment, then stood up with a limp, leaning on his cane.

I picked up a spatula from the pot next to me and roasted it in the fire for half an hour.

Then he picked up a bright red spatula and branded it onto his chest.

"ah!!"

After a series of painful sounds.

This barely stopped the bleeding from the wound.

"Damn it, when I'm in a position of power, I'm going to kill all those officials. They do nothing but make things difficult for ordinary people like me."

however.

He had barely finished speaking.

Boom!

A violent explosion rang out, and the mud house collapsed instantly.

"grass!!"

Zhong Yuanchao cursed, but his words were immediately swallowed up by the noise.

Soon after, seven people wearing specially made combat suits appeared.

Looking at the collapsed mud house, one of them gently pushed it into the air.

On the ground, the soil mixed with snow was instantly cleared away.

However, apart from a few Bodhi tree leaves, all that remained inside was a bottomless, dark cave entrance.

"Is this old geezer born in the Year of the Rat?"

One of them cursed, sounding somewhat annoyed.

"We've chased him through several cities, and this old guy has come right back."

"Stop talking, let's go after them."

The middle-aged woman leading the group shook her head, her voice stern.

"He's killed at least eighty or a hundred people along the way we've been chasing him."

"If we keep this kind of person around, who knows how much trouble he will cause."

After saying that, the group chased after them again.

……

late at night.

Jiang Yi was preparing to go to bed to rest.

The two R-type robots that had devoured the fragments of the flesh-and-blood Bodhi tree suddenly sent a signal to it, and at the same time, it was also startled, as if a certain sensory signal was faintly present in its brain.

"Traces of Zhong Yuanchao have been discovered."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi put his feet, which he had just placed under the covers, back down off the bed.

Then, with a serious expression, he quickly put on his shoes, went outside, and said to the guard.

"Call Captain Fei, I need to speak with you."

If AI gives robots a vague soul, then the Bodhi tree truly gives living metal robots self-awareness.

Although these two robots did not perform any tasks.

But based on every detail of their actions.

Jiang Yi could still clearly see that even though the R-type robot was already very human-like before, after devouring the fragments of the flesh-and-blood Bodhi tree, it was no different from a robot again.

Sometimes, these two robots even send it messages on their own.

Unlike other robots, it doesn't need to execute commands all the time and only perform frantic calculations and processing when an event occurs.

"What's wrong?"

Soon, Fei Bozhong arrived at the door.

"Zhong Yuanchao has come to Yuncheng City. I know where he is."

"Zhong Yuanchao? That's impossible."

Fei Bozhong frowned.

"I heard that he's almost reached a coastal city, at least a thousand or two thousand kilometers away from here, because he's being pursued by the 19th Bureau."

"In short, just trust me."

As he spoke, Jiang Yi took out his phone and, based on the information provided by the two robots and the vague perception in his mind, zoomed in on the map.

Finally, a direction was narrowed down.

"He's in this direction, probably within a 50-kilometer radius."

Although Fei Bozhong was somewhat skeptical, he nodded in agreement, given Jiang Yi's capabilities.

"Okay, I'll mobilize the troops immediately."
