Doomsday Mechs: Starting with a Manufacturing Army

Hearing the mournful wails outside.

Jiang Yi, who was inside the room, immediately became alert.

"Enter absolute defense mode!"

Several Zero robots put down the parts they were holding and stopped assembling what they were only halfway through.

He tapped his glasses lightly, and the surveillance footage from outside the door instantly appeared on the lens.

"This is."

Jiang Yi's pupils contracted slightly.

"Winter ivy?"

Because of the plant's enormous size, he recognized it with almost no effort.

"This is over twenty floors! Has it mutated to this extent?"

Even though Jiang Yi was usually calm, he couldn't help but be shocked at this moment.

"What happened?"

Xu Wanqing's voice trembled as she spoke.

Jiang Yi's expression was solemn, and he didn't turn his head.

"Sit still, don't run around, and don't make any noise."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wanqing, whose face had turned deathly pale, immediately pursed her lips.

She heard the noise at the door just now.

The woman who knocked on the door seemed to have been attacked by a zombie.

Who knows, those zombies might be standing right at the door right now.

Out of fear, Xu Wanqing tried calling the police.

But the line was still busy, even at night, and countless people were calling for help.

Jiang Yi's expression grew increasingly grave as he watched the scene on the surveillance camera.

The ivy vines began to absorb the flesh and blood on the ground, much like the suckers of an octopus's tentacles.

"I hope they don't come in."

The vine continued to absorb flesh and blood from the ground, showing no sign of leaving.

Jiang Yi's heart sank.

It was obvious that this ivy had mutated so drastically that he was no match for it.

"Jiang, Jiang Yi."

Xu Wanqing called his name in a trembling voice.

Jiang Yi turned his head away, his brows furrowing even more deeply.

The window that used to offer a view of the night sky was now completely dark.

By the light inside the room, one could almost see the dark green suckers, like those of an octopus, desperately sucking, and the large leaves swaying slightly.

"Quickly, turn off all the lights and draw the curtains!"

Almost instantly, an extremely dangerous signal spread throughout Jiang Yi's brain.

The Virginia creeper is extremely phototropic, so turning on the lights now is tantamount to suicide!

He then hurriedly turned off all the lights in the room except for the equipment.

Xu Wanqing, in her panic, stumbled and fell off the sofa, her legs giving way, and then turned off the lights in the other two rooms.

Not long after.

The vines outside the window gradually disappeared, revealing the faint light from outside.

Jiang Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

In the glasses, the vine in the corridor gradually receded after absorbing the middle-aged woman's flesh and blood.

"Don't turn on the lights without my permission."

Xu Wanqing nodded, her face streaked with tears, still shaken.

"understood."

Let's rest tonight.

Jiang Yi glanced at the half-finished robot on the ground, waved his hand, and returned to his bedroom with a Zero robot.

The other two robots remained in the living room for defense and guard duties.

He watched as Jiang Yi returned to the bedroom and closed the door.

Inside the living room.

Xu Wanqing looked at her phone, constantly searching for the latest information.

Yesterday, news circulated online that Yuncheng City was planning to set up shelters and establish a relief center.

Despite Jiang Yi's protection here.

However, Xu Wanqing did not want to become a test subject, so going to the official location was naturally the best option.

After searching for more than an hour.

A message popped up, making her feel desperate.

"A large number of mutated creatures have appeared in Yuncheng City. All residents are urged to stay at home and not go out. The armed forces have begun emergency targeted elimination operations."

The details will be provided below.

Besides animals and humans, the mutated creatures also included plants and even insects.

They also advised that anyone who keeps plants or animals should never let them get wet in the rain.

Everything is proving that this world is about to end.

The only good news is...

The Yuncheng Military Sub-district has deployed heavy firepower units to the city and has successfully developed water purification technology, starting to increase the production of purified water and distributing food and supplies.

However, these things.

They can only receive it on the day their neighborhood is scheduled for designated removal.

Xu Wanqing became increasingly frightened.

Buzz, buzz.

It was his mother calling.

"mom."

Xu Wanqing called out softly.

I heard my mother's pained voice coming from the other end.

"Daughter, stay here. Mom is leaving. Stay away from those things. Take good care of yourself. You, you... Roar!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, his phone fell to the ground.

All that remained were the howls of wild beasts.

Xu Wanqing covered her mouth tightly, her pretty face covered with tears, not daring to make a sound.

She comes from a single-parent family and has relied on her mother since childhood.

But now.

In this world.

She really is all alone now.

"Permissions activated successfully."

Suddenly, a synthesized female voice came from the living room stereo.

Xu Wanqing wiped away her tears, her mind racing, when she suddenly realized something.

"What is permission?"

She took a deep breath to ease her choked voice, speaking as softly and clearly as possible.

"The permissions are for the manufacture of Robot Zero..."

"Keep it down, keep it down."

Xu Wanqing quickly interrupted and moved closer to the speaker.

"May I obtain permission?"

The speaker volume was a bit low. "To obtain permission, you need to obtain an order from administrator Jiang Yi. Also, please specify what level of permission you need."

"Highest authority".

"Please obtain administrator permission."

Xu Wanqing looked disappointed.

"Stop tossing and turning, just get some sleep."

The sound from behind startled Xu Wanqing.

Seeing Jiang Yi appear carrying yet another robot, I gazed at his pair of dazzling black eyes, like black gemstones.

She was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

Jiang Yi put the new robot made from the mutated chip aside.

"I won't hurt you. When it's time to let you go, I will naturally let you leave."

"But if you insist on pulling any tricks, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Yes, I understand."

Xu Wanqing nodded, her delicate body trembling.

That night.

Xu Wanqing couldn't sleep all night.

It wasn't just her mother's departure that made it difficult for her to adapt; her fear of Jiang Yi, the unfamiliar environment, and the discomfort of the sofa also contributed to her difficulty in adjusting.

Until the sky outside began to lighten.

She then fell into a deep sleep.

On the contrary, Jiang Yi also went to bed late at night.

However, I was awakened by faint gunshots outside at eight o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Yi went to the window and took a look.

Several armored vehicles were parked outside, and there was even a tank.

"It looks like the troops have arrived."

Jiang Yi adjusted his glasses, somewhat surprised.

This neighborhood isn't the most populous area, and it's located in a relatively remote location, so I didn't expect the cleanup operation to be carried out so quickly.

According to the news he saw last night, he originally thought it would be at least half a month later.

However, I still felt a little fortunate.

At least this way, he can continue his research on new robots with greater peace of mind.

He had a premonition.

The robot made using the parasitized mutated chip will give him an unexpected surprise.

……

"Based on the information above, the engineer named Jiang Yi is here."

The team leader, who had already advanced into the residential area, spoke into the microphone.

"Find the person in apartment 2102 of building 1 as soon as possible."
