NIKKE, after maxing out the favorability, all the Nikkis are not right

If I stay any longer, I will inevitably be trapped by this annoying and subtle alcohol and be drunk all day long.

Come outside.

Green took a breath of fresh air, opened Balabala, and was about to see if Nikki had sent him a message when Privati's message came.

Privati: "I recently heard that there seems to be a strangely dressed Nikki who often comes and goes from the outpost. She seems to be wearing a hat and has a sword on her waist. And this Nikki looks very similar to the pilgrim recorded in the Ark."

Privati: "Commander, is this true?"

Privati: "Please answer me."

"Coming so soon?"

The central government has always been very sensitive about pilgrims.

Especially for those who hold important positions in the government, if they have too much contact with pilgrims, they may be accused of some false charges and imprisoned.

Green: "I don't know."

After Green said a few perfunctory words to Privati, he hurried back to the command center, grabbed Honglian's wrist who was still drinking, and ran out the door with her.

Honglian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled shyly: "Master, you are so bold to hold my hand, are you planning to elope with me?"

"It's already this late, and you're still making jokes." Green sighed, "I'll take you to the surface. You'd better not come here for the time being."

"What happened?"

"You come here too frequently. The central government already knows you frequently visit the outpost. Once they confirm you're still here, they'll probably send someone to arrest you."

"I see, I've been a little careless lately..."

Honglian thought back to the gatherings of the past few days. She had indeed come quite frequently.

After all, wandering alone on the ground for a long time, apart from farming every day, not seeing any acquaintances and no wine to drink, it is inevitable that you will feel lonely in your heart.

To the extent that, she, who was always calm and composed, actually indulged in the time she spent drinking with Green at the outpost.

"After I leave, the young master will definitely be imprisoned. How do you plan to deal with those people?"

"Although I'm not a high-ranking official, as long as the central government doesn't have evidence, they won't have any excuse to arrest me. Rest assured."

Escort Honglian to the elevator at the outpost.

The two mass-produced Nikkis guarding the elevator saluted Green but did not let him pass.

After a moment, the soldier on the left looked up and said, "Commander, we have not received your combat notification from the central government."

"Besides, this Nikki next to you is not a member of the counterattack force, right?"

"She is a new member of the Unlimited Forces at the Northern Base. This mission is a secret operation. I am responsible for transporting her to the ground and will be back later. Please let her go." Green lied without changing his expression.

"receive."

Ding!

The elevator door slowly opened.

Green and Honglian stepped into the elevator.

Accompanied by buzzing sounds, the two soon returned to the ground from the outpost.

The morning sun shines on my body, and the breeze is gentle, but everywhere I look seems a little desolate. The area within a hundred miles is covered with wreckage and discarded metal, and only occasionally can I see a bit of green among the ruins.

To ensure the safety of the Ark, Nikki would often clean up the area around the elevator to remove any wandering Letchers.

Therefore, this area is relatively safe.

"Let me give you a ride, Honglian."

"Where is your home?"

"Master, have you forgotten? I'm a wanderer. On the ground, there's no home I can return to." Honglian adjusted his bamboo hat, but a sigh could not help but appear in his tone: "If it's a stronghold, there are quite a few."

"Everywhere I go, I will dig the land and cultivate the fields, growing food and vegetables, but I won't stay there for long."

Green looked at her slightly lonely profile and asked, "Are you lonely?"

Honglian was silent for a moment, then pointed to the sky above her head: "Loneliness is common, but fortunately, there is wind, trees, streams, and the bright moon to accompany us. As long as you get used to it, you won't feel lonely."

“But it’ll still be lonely.”

"I have a gift for you, take it."

Green took something out of his arms and threw it into Honglian's hand.

Honglian grabbed the thing and took a closer look, only to discover that it was a bottle of fine grain wine that had long been out of print.

Compared to yesterday's wine, this bottle of grain wine is even more valuable. If it is put up for auction on the Ark website, there will definitely be many wine lovers who will bid high prices for it.

Honglian held the bottle of wine in her hand. She turned her head in surprise, and what caught her eye was Green's smile. "This is my last treasure, Honglian. Savor it slowly when you get home. Don't drink it all in one gulp."

"Master..."

Honglian called his name softly, and a charming blush flashed across her lazy and reserved face.

really.

The place she liked was not the outpost, but where he was.

"Master."

"This wine is quite valuable. It's hard for me to enjoy it alone."

"Since it's so rare to go to the surface, why not have another drink?"

"Hmm? Still want to drink?" Green was stunned for a moment: "What if Letcher..."

"Oh, Master, have you forgotten that I am the unrivaled swordsman in the world?"

Honglian patted the long sword at his waist, then walked forward, took Green's hand, and slowly strolled with him in the wilderness.

The two of them found a hill facing the wind and sat down. Honglian took out two wine bottles from her arms and unscrewed the cap of the grain wine. With the sound of wine pouring, the bottle was soon full.

"Master, look at the green mountains and clear waters in the distance. Which do you think is more beautiful than the Ark?"

“Naturally, the ground is more beautiful.”

"I think so too." Honglian raised Green's bottle of wine and put it to his lips. "Young Master, did you know that in the distant past, humans would express their love for others by drinking from the same cup?"

"Then I'll buy you a drink too?"

Green raised the bottle of Guren.

In the early morning light, the two of them drank from their cups together.

Green looked down and saw the lazy sunlight illuminating Honglian's slightly drunk face.

She suddenly leaned on Green's shoulder and murmured, "I am drunk and you are happy again, we are both intoxicated and forget about everything."

"When the storm subsides, please join me for a drink."

"it is good."

"When this storm is over, I'll invite you to come to the outpost to drink with me." Green raised his glass and took a sip. He didn't particularly like drinking, but with such an elegant beauty by his side, even the slightly spicy aged wine in the glass tasted a little sweet.

"Ah."

Honglian responded wordlessly.

During a moment of silence, the hand that was not holding the glass quietly clasped Green's five fingers.

The two of them sat together on the hill, feeling the wilderness wind and admiring the scenery in the distance.

When the sun was high in the sky and the wine in the bottle had dried up, Green let go of his hand, brushed the dust off his trousers, and stood up from the ground.

"Will you not sit a little longer, Master?"

"I've been out of contact for the whole morning. I have to go back. If I don't return to the outpost, Lapi and the others will be worried."

"Since the young master has said so, I will take you back to the elevator."

Honglian put on the hat on the ground, straightened it slightly, then took Green's hand and led him back the way he came.

"I can walk this distance by myself."

"Yes, you can, but what if you meet Letcher on the way? Young Master is not Nikki, how can you fight against these creatures with steel bodies?" Honglian looked at him sideways and suddenly asked.

"I've been wondering, if I'm not a Nikki, I can't fight Letcher?" Green suddenly frowned. "Compared to humans, ordinary mass-produced Nikki aren't much stronger. You could even say they're just a bunch of reinforced soldiers that can be recycled."

"Since the mass-produced model can go into battle and kill the enemy, I can do it too, right?"

"It seems that the young master is really determined to become stronger, but he won't be able to defeat Letcher just by talking about it on paper."

"It happens, Master, look."

Honglian pointed to the ruins not far away.

A carrot-shaped letcher was slowly wandering among the ruins.

Just as there is a division between mass-produced and special models among Nikki, the same is true among Letcher.

From weak to strong, they are Selfless, Servant, Master, Lord, Tyrant, and Heretic level above Tyrant.

The Letcher in front of him is the "Daikon" model in the "Selfless" level, generally called "Carrot" by the Nikkis of the Ark.

Its characteristic is that it has a body as thin as a carrot and can float in the air. It is also one of the weakest Letchers, and is extremely weak in both mobility and lethality.

"If you want to become stronger, young master, why not take my sword and fight this Letcher?"

"I will take care of you from the side."

"it is good."

Take Honglian's sword.

Green took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the roaming Letcher.

Although he often went to the battlefield, this was the first time he fought Letcher personally.

He will eventually have to fight a bloody battle with Letcher, otherwise one day he will become a hindrance to Nikki and the others, and then anyone can capture him and hold him hostage.

"Honglian's sword is a little heavy..."

"After all, it's the sword Nikki uses. With my physique, I have to use all my strength to wield it."

"but..."

"The other party is not an invincible opponent."

Green held his breath and walked towards the Letcher step by step.

Just when he was about twenty meters away, the Letcher named Radish suddenly turned around. The eyeball-shaped mechanical body on its head immediately locked onto Green and flashed a yellow light.

Is this confirming his identity?

Green was a little surprised. He was clearly attacking Letcher from behind, but he never expected that the other party would discover his presence so quickly.

So what should we do now?

Turn around and run away, hide in the bunker?

No, that's not right.

Once Letcher discovers humans and Nikki, no matter what type, the first thing he does is to alert the surrounding people.

These alarms will immediately attract a large number of Letchers. If you let those attracted Letchers surround you, it will be a real dead end.

"At this moment, we should overcome our fear and move forward courageously."

"Eliminate it completely before it sounds the alarm."

"Huh, come on!"

Took a deep breath.

Green held Honglian's sword and moved forward quickly.

Letcher, who was supposed to broadcast the alarm, immediately stopped the alarm when he saw him approaching quickly, and a red aperture signal appeared in its body carrying the shells.

The red signal, in Letcher's communication language, means "an attack is about to be launched."

"Is it an attack?"

“Got to get out of the way!”
