The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

Some things cannot be explained during transmission; if too much is sent, it will inevitably be detected by Skynet.

"Damn it!"

Hargrove slammed his fist on the table in anger; ultimately, hesitation was not an option.

Given the current scarcity of access to information about Oasis Town, they have no other reason than to investigate.

Richard leaned closer, stroking his chin as he looked at Hargrove; he too agreed to provide backup.

Instead of guessing here, you can only understand the truth by actually experiencing it.

"Sir, we were just saying we couldn't find a way to make contact, and now this opportunity has come knocking on our door."

They've already brought out the intelligence for us, so we can take this opportunity to meet them directly and see what kind of people they are, and whether we can actually make a deal with them.

Hargrove hesitated for a few seconds, then slammed his hand on the table again: "Fine!"

"That's it, damn it!"

"However, to be on the safe side, we told them to wait at a designated location."

"Damn, there are a lot of robots around here lately, it's really hard for our people to go out!"

"Perhaps we can ask them about electronic technology products."

"Haha, this is pretty good, but what can we use to make a deal?"

"How about we try gold?"

"Gold—it doesn't seem like a bad idea, but these things that I couldn't even be bothered to look at back then... it seems like they were all left in the city."

Over the years, the bank doors have all rusted.

"It won't be easy to get it; there might be patrolling robots inside."

Just as everyone was once again engaged in a discussion about what to trade.

On the other side, Dick, who had received a reply, took off his headphones, smiled, and turned to look at Lynn.

At this moment, the two of them finally felt relieved, and even showed undisguised excitement.

It's true that humans are social animals, and right now they desperately want to get away from the strange aliens and return to our human home.

Even if the place is unclean, crowded, and there are occasional problems such as water shortages and hunger...

After the two finished packing, they opened the door and called over Big Hammer and the other two, informing them that the backup arrangements had been made.

We'll rest in the safe house tonight and head to the new designated location first thing tomorrow morning.

As for why they don't travel in the dark, that's because robots aren't human!

It's late at night, which makes it easier for them to find things!

The three men, including Da Chui, took turns keeping watch that night, and the team set off early the next morning.

Robert's support team was waiting to meet him on the outskirts, and the group headed towards the base along a secluded hunter's trail in the mountains.

Who knew that less than four hours later, when they were less than 30 kilometers from the base, an accident still happened.

It turns out that after Skynet lost track of Hammer and his group the day before, they concluded that this small team, which was a mix of aliens and humans, must be making some kind of deal with the human resistance.

In short, whatever they want to talk about, disrupting it is in their best interest.

Therefore, after thinking for 0.1 seconds, Skynet decisively mobilized three reorganized patrol teams in the surrounding area.

A concentric search network was laid out around the logging camp, blocking all roads, big and small, leading out of the mountains, just waiting for the target to crash in.

Just as Akai, who was at the front, realized something was wrong, ten T-800s rushed out of the woods, and gunfire erupted instantly.

Hammer immediately stepped in front to absorb the damage, Akai lay behind the rocks to focus on the mechanical core, and Milk Candy pulled out his trump card and started throwing bombs like crazy.

After finally taking down this patrol, the group managed to shake off another group of pursuing enemies in no time.

Another robot, attracted by the gunfire and explosion, stuck to them.

Fortunately, after several embarrassing and arduous journeys, the group finally received assistance from the resistance's support forces. With the resistance forces splitting up and using a diversionary tactic, they finally arrived safely at the Red Coast Base.

Chapter 229 Arms Trade

When disaster strikes, the underground may not be the safest place for humans, but it is the best place when humans have the means to do so.

To evade detection by Skynet robots and satellite radar, the deep underground is the best natural shield.

For players who have played various unique games and seen all sorts of scenes and visuals...

The cramped and confined environment at the bottom of the base didn't bother the three members of the Hammer Group at all.

Having seen too many games that evoke sympathy from erectile dysfunction players, I've always believed that "Terminator" is just a game.

Looking at the ragged, emaciated survivors in the passage, the crowd felt not sympathy, but rather curiosity and a sense of accomplishment at reaching the new map.

This expression, observed by the officers in charge of receiving them, further confirmed their identities as aliens.

Although they have human faces, who knows what their core is like?

Of course, in order not to cause panic among the people in the base, Akai, who was wearing the Predator skin, was covered up by a cloak.

"Please wait here, all three of you."

When they escorted the players to the reception room, Lynn and Dick had already given a general overview of the Oasis Town.

"Parallel world?!"

"Are you sure they came from another world?" Hargrove's hand, which was holding the chip, stopped involuntarily.

Did he ever consider an alien invasion, or that Skynet was being reckless by sending some provocative message into space that attracted so many aliens to attack it?

And you're telling me it's an alien from a parallel world Earth?!

Which Earth in the world is so amazing that it has even started alien colonization?

“This could be the future after Skynet, where humanity wins the war with the help of aliens…” Richard stated a possibility.

While other lower-level people might not know about time travel, the base administrators knew it all too well.

I just didn't expect that time travel wouldn't change the future, but would only create a new timeline!

So they didn't actually change anything, but they did change certain established facts.

"Damn it!"

Hargrove slammed his fist on the table. "What kind of mess is this?!"

"We can't change the future, so we do all this to correct the errors in other timelines."

So, the final development involves other timelines coming to the rescue, right?!

To be honest, it's not entirely impossible, but looking at [Black Gun Akai]'s hideous and ugly face in the reception room...

He truly hoped that those who came were human, not aliens.

Who knows what's going on in that parallel world?

Multi-ethnic coexistence is fine, but if humanity loses control of the Earth... then what exactly have they changed?!

The more he thought about it, the angrier and more powerless he became, until finally, a sense of helplessness set in...

"Shit!"

With a roar, Hargrove finally decided to stop thinking about this damn thing!

The people who should be having a headache are those at higher levels; they only need to listen to the final decision.

Thinking of this, Hargrove felt much better.

Anyway, Skynet has beaten them up more than once or twice. They've lost more than they've won, and they've managed to put up a fight. If they weren't resilient, they wouldn't be able to be managers.

“The chip is actually useless now,” Hargrove casually tossed the chip he was holding onto the table.

"The appearance of aliens has prompted Skynet to redeploy."

"Going out now would be suicide for them."

Hargrove was telling the truth; in order to break out of the encirclement, the area around their base was still being patrolled and explored by robots.

He dared to believe that if it weren't for reinforcements from another outrageous world, these iron contraptions would have dared to remain stationary outside until the people at the base were starving and walked right into their trap.

Thinking about this, my mood is terrible, but I still need to receive friends from alien... uh, no, from another world.

The surveillance footage showed that the three men had a strong interest in the gold that was deliberately displayed in the reception room.

Once they realized it was another parallel world, they weren't surprised at all.

What worries them is that a ton of gold could buy a lot of guns.

They don't believe that those who choose open trade cooperation will sell at a fair price.

A peaceful parallel world arrives in the wasteland, and it's a foregone conclusion that it will take away the gold.

However, some things were completely unexpected.

Hargrove, with a strong premonition that the "otherworldly merchant would ask for an exorbitant price," pushed open the door to the reception room.

After exchanging pleasantries like thank you and introducing themselves,

Hargrove got straight to the point, inquiring about the Oasis Town's broadcasting cooperation and trade.

After confirming the authenticity of the weapons and that the other party had a way to obtain them, he immediately inquired about the prices of various weapons, equipment, and food.

Big Hammer leaned the gravity warhammer against the wall, scratched his head, and asked Milk Candy to quote a price.

Milk Candy's eyes darted around, and she said in a crisp voice, "If it's a basic electromagnetic weapon, it'll only cost one thousand...five hundred!"

"How much?!" Hargrove had his fingers on the gun handle at his waist, ready to haggle until he blushed, but he was stunned when he heard the price.

I just asked about the gold exchange rate there; one gram of gold can be exchanged for 150!

Does that mean 10 grams is equivalent to a gun?!

This made him feel like it was too cheap!

Damn it!

Although they knew that a gram of gold would definitely cost more than that, for them in the post-apocalyptic world who saw gold as nothing more than a roadside dump, it couldn't be too cheap!

Hargrove sat up abruptly, his composure vanishing instantly.
