I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

Sun Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He moved towards the campfire and teleported back to Rumi.

08 I am ashamed to have done a small good deed

"Huha!" Sun Yang climbed up from the campfire. The honey-like scenery was as charming as ever, and there was no one around.

"Reinigaz!" Sun Yang shouted towards the wall.

The blacksmith was counting ants at the foot of the wall. When he heard someone calling him, he looked up and showed a surprised expression: "You are, Sun Yang? Where did you get this equipment?"

"I picked it up in Doran Fortress. Let's not talk about that for now. I found the key for you!" Sun Yang didn't plan to hide the exoskeleton and weapons on his body. There are so many strange weapons and equipment in this world, and this exoskeleton is useless except for blocking the slashing.

"Huh?! You found it?!"

Sun Yang took out his key, walked to the side of the house, and unlocked the door directly. Sun Yang wanted to complain, "Can't you just pry the door open directly?" But the blacksmith might have his own concerns, such as prying the door lock would not be a good way to prevent theft.

"Oh! That's great! Now I can finally open my business!" The blacksmith rushed into his house, stroking his blacksmithing tools. Although Sun Yang didn't know what they were used for, he looked quite professional.

"It will take me some time to prepare. You can come back later. Oh, and as a reward, I can upgrade a weapon for you for free."

"Will this work?" Sun Yang pulled out his shotgun. Dark Souls' ranged weapon damage increases primarily rely on weapon enhancements, having nothing to do with ammunition. Although the exact mechanism is completely unclear, perhaps it's the magical power of the cuneiform stone. Wouldn't it be wonderful if this could enhance the weapon?

"I've never seen a weapon like this before, but it doesn't have any soul or ancient dragon power. No problem," the blacksmith said, reaching out to take the shotgun. "Just come over tomorrow morning."

"Then I look forward to hearing from you." Sun Yang wasn't afraid that he would take the gun away. To be honest, with the Dark Soul's smelting level, at best he could make a basic flintlock rifle. A world without industrial support couldn't produce modern weapons. And the gun was already out of bullets.

It doesn't matter if it gets broken. It's just a gun. It doesn't matter.

Sun Yang, carrying the Nostalgic Incense Wood, was about to go look for the stone statue near Brother Lan Baojian. As he passed by Ah San's shop, a skinny figure dressed in a thief's uniform walked out.

"Oh! Isn't this Lei? Good afternoon!" Sun Yang greeted Lei enthusiastically. After all, these were the big brothers who helped him in the game, so it was always a good idea to maintain good relationships with them.

"%@#*＆!" Lei quickly flipped back several times, stirring up a thick cloud of mist, as if he was frightened. Sun Yang didn't know what had frightened him.

"Good afternoon! Well, I, I'm very busy..." Lei took a long time to utter these words.

"Then I won't bother you. By the way, I bought some Nostalgic Incense Wood. There's a stone statue in Rumi Lane, and I went to remove it. If you meet other people, can you tell them?" Sun Yang mentioned this to Lei.

"Okay...is there anything else?" Lei looked at Sun Yang warily, although it seemed like he didn't want to communicate.

"No, I won't bother you." Sun Yang didn't want to get close to someone so quickly. Lei was a very shy and timid person. If he approached him too quickly, he would definitely feel disgusted.

Sun Yang followed his memory and walked into a small cave. He walked forward without stopping. Like other places, this place was surrounded by trees. The further he walked, the fewer branches there were, and the more the stone wall below was exposed.

The ancient abandoned buildings in the cave were intertwined with the soil and stone walls, and heavy bricks and stone pillars were embedded in the rocks beside them. Soon, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear. The afternoon light shone on the valley ahead, and a building stood there.

The place where Blue Sword was originally was no longer occupied. Sun Yang called out the base interface, preparing to pull out his spare shotgun and a spare set of clothes and pants. Then he saw the AR team's figures taking turns wearing his Gulongyuan coat.

"Wow! It smells like the commander!" Gouzi waved his arms and put the collar under his nose and took a sip.

"What are you doing?" Sun Yang enlarged the window. The AR team was in chaos. Gouzi quickly took off his clothes and stuffed them back into the closet. "I saw it all. Well, the humanoids do want new clothes too. Okay, I'll buy new clothes and put them back later..."

"I don't think it's because of the new clothes..." RO said blushing.

"Anyway, it's not a big deal. Just don't tear my clothes. I only have this one, Dean Gu Long's clothes." Sun Yang took out a shotgun, and then took out shotgun shells, grenades, and clothes, and closed the window.

The building in front of me is a circular structure with covered wooden doors on both sides. There is a mechanical door in the front. Next to the door is a pulled handle and a female stone statue pulling the handle.

Sun Yang opened the wooden door, revealing several uniquely shaped monsters. They resembled zombies, but their testicles, or rather, their abdomens, were abnormally swollen. These enemies were wielding skeletal clubs emitting green gas, clearly poisoned.

Bang! The shotgun smashed the zombie's head behind the door. After Sun Yang cleared out the monsters one by one, he took out the Nostalgic Incense Wood from his pocket.

But speaking of it, how do you use Nostalgic Incense? You can't just wave a stick of this thing under someone's nose and it will work, right? Damn it, in the game you just click the confirmation button, but in reality it's not that simple. What if you need to boil water and chop it up before taking it?

Sun Yang tried to bring the Nostalgic Incense Wood under the person's nose and tried to inject magic power into it. After all, he had used miracles many times, so injecting magic power was not a problem for him.

The nostalgic fragrant wood turned into a cloud of dust and floated on the stone statue, and the stone statue turned from gray to human flesh color. She fell to the ground, coughing constantly, and slowly got up from the ground.

"Oh! Ahem, thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been... ahem, petrified. Wait, I'll be fine in a moment!" This was a young woman with black hair and yellow skin. She was wearing only a dress made of animal skins and rags, and was barefoot. She had a good figure. Her features were dignified and she looked to be in her twenties.

The woman coughed hard a few times, and seemed to recover after coughing out some dust.

Sun Yang naturally knew her. She was Soul Two's spell teacher (although she was a magician's student) and a famous clothes hanger.

"Ah, oh, thank you. Um, my name is Rosabena. Thank you for rescuing me. Huh—you're a traveler, right? I want to repay you!" The spell teacher straightened up and dusted himself off. "Well, I'm good at spells. So, I don't know if this counts as repayment. I'll give you this seven-colored stone. I can teach you how to use it."

The spell teacher stuffed a seven-colored stone into Sun Yang's hand. Considering that this was probably her traditional culture and he should respect it, Sun Yang accepted it.

"My name is Sun Yang. I accept it. How did you become, like, a stone statue?"

The spell teacher frowned and said, "I was attacked and turned into stone, or so it seems. If I had remained stone, I really don't know what would have happened. Fortunately, you helped me. Oh, this is really embarrassing. Well, although you saved me, I may have to shamelessly ask for one more favor..."

She lifted her skirt.

"As you can see, my clothes are tattered. Do you have any clothes I can borrow? Any clothes you don't need will do. It doesn't matter if they are weird. I don't pay much attention to what I wear. Any clothes will do. Just leave them here and I will change into them myself..."

"Okay, but it's not safe here. The creature that can petrify people may be hiding nearby. I'm just outside the door. Just change your clothes and come out. I'll take you to Rumi." Sun Yang took out a set of short-sleeved shirts and pants and put them on the ground, then turned around and walked out.

"Yes, I need to change clothes where there are people nearby, but it's really not safe..." The spell teacher muttered. Sun Yang stood outside the door, listening to the sound of changing clothes behind him. After a while, the spell teacher came in and said it was okay to come in.

Rosabena, the spell teacher, had already changed into the short-sleeved shirt, black jacket, and durable pants that Sun Yang had given her. Barefoot, she stroked the clothes. Her chest bulged the clothes. Fortunately, Sun Yang was much bigger than the spell teacher, otherwise the clothes might not have fit her.

"Thank you for lending me this dress! I've never worn anything like it before. It's very light and feels very nice to the touch. It doesn't rub my skin, but it doesn't feel like silk or anything like that. Mr. Sun Yang, where did you find these clothes?"

"Sorry, I can't tell you. Okay, let's go quickly. You can tell me what happened on the way..." Sun Yang hurriedly pulled the spell teacher away. Although he had no impression of the process here, there was probably a petrified curse frog nearby, but Sun Yang didn't know the exact location of the curse frog.

On the way, the spell teacher told Sun Yang some things about herself.

She had a teacher, called "Dark Carrion," a renowned magician in her hometown. She yearned for magic, so she requested to learn from him. Although he was a bit strange, he was willing to teach her.

Later, her teacher, Carrion, was going on a long journey, and she followed him. However, she got separated from her teacher and went on her own, and she didn't know how much time had passed since then.

"Well, I don't really have any talent. Sensei must have given up on me... But I can easily memorize spells. Apparently, preferences and strengths aren't the same thing. I don't know why. Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could live and do whatever I want? Well, maybe it's because I keep saying things like that that's why I'm like this. I understand."

Listening to the young spell teacher's chatter, they crossed the valley and returned to Rumi. Sun Yang greeted the other residents of Rumi, and after settling the spell teacher down, he returned to his room. He still had things to do today.

For example, there was the experiment of getting the dolls out of the base, and other unfinished tasks. If Sun Yang hadn't been worried about the important old lady merchant slipping away, he would have definitely finished the Girl's Frontline work first before doing anything else.

09 How can we know the results if we don’t do experiments?

Fighting is not as interesting as infrastructure construction.jpg

Calling up the view, the full picture of the two bases appeared in front of Sun Yang again. The Oasis Base was constantly mining downwards and planning to lay the necessary lines and other things.

This job was quite complicated, and Sun Yang, who was not an expert in civil engineering, was completely clueless. He only asked Pascal whether the plan he submitted would consider future expansion and upgrades, and then let the humanoids build it themselves.

The construction work was done by Ottokin the blasting engineer, Kroki the mechanical design engineer, Chuchen the unknown biological exploration project, and Xian the ruins detector.

None of them is a humanoid majoring in construction engineering, but Ottokin, the blasting engineer, must know where the instability of various building structures lies. Chu Chen is half a geological prospector, and Xian also has powerful environmental scanning equipment.

Finally, Krocchi actually has construction experience. The copy mentioned that she was the chief engineer when Vulcan Heavy Industries was building the reactor, and she also solved many technical bottlenecks.

In the picture, the four people gathered together and whispered something. Xian and Chuchen added a lot of data under the drawings. After Ottokin and Krochi wrote and drew on the drawings for a long time, they finally finalized the follow-up plan, sent the data to Pascal's email, and then fell to the ground and started rolling around.

"Oh my god! Finally I don't have to compete with you, a blasting maniac!"

"I don't want to have to think about how to destroy a building and how to avoid destroying it at the same time! I'm going to go crazy!"

"I can't take it anymore! I need to rest! I've done a lot, a lot of work! I want to be touched! I'm leaving!" Kroki said goodbye to Xian and Chu Chen and went into his room.

"I have to go to sleep..." The blaster Ottokin dragged himself back to his room.

Sun Yang's mailbox now had an additional base modification and construction plan submitted by Pascal, which was the final version V1.671 of the modified version.

After taking a quick look at the number of drones and puppets needed (both to be provided by Griffin Base), Sun Yang decisively agreed. Basically, if the request wasn't too excessive, Sun Yang would agree.

The main task at the Oasis Base was the demolition and construction of the base. All other non-urgent matters were temporarily put on hold. After all, the home base had to be built first before any other work could begin.

Sun Yang turned his attention to the Griffin base. The buildings exposed on the surface of Griffin were very low and there were not many of them.

Basically, what is being built are various surface walls and guard posts, which are also completed by Croce. As a senior engineer of Vulcan Heavy Industry, this plan is not difficult.

Griffin Base has sent out reconnaissance drones to observe further. In the distance of this wilderness is a continuous stretch of towering hills and mountains. The vegetation becomes more abundant as the wilderness approaches the mountains, and there is also a river flowing nearby.

However, the drones further away did not have enough power to return. The base did have transport helicopters, but considering that they were difficult to build, the agent moved them to the underground warehouse for maintenance.

The surrounding mineral veins have begun to operate, and thanks to the professional exploration dolls from the Oasis, the excavation is proceeding quite smoothly. Kroki is responsible for designing the relevant equipment.

The Iron Blood puppet soldiers were already carrying out their transportation work in an orderly manner. The modification and programming were handled by AI researcher Pascal, mechanical engineer Kroki, and humanoid maintenance engineer Drase.

Hmm? It seems like Croc appears a bit too often. There's really no one else available, so I'm just using whoever I can get. That won't do. I'll just find something new and interesting in Dark Souls 2 and give it to Croc.

Some of the other dolls were on patrol, some were doing routine training, and those who had nothing to do went to the entertainment and rest area, although Sun Yang clearly saw that there were a lot of people in the entertainment and rest area.

No, if the dolls were stuck in one place like this for too long, it would cause problems. Fortunately, there were quite a few dolls working in cultural fields at the Oasis. Looking at the inventory, there were a lot of miscellaneous items there, so it could last for a while.

Sun Yang first told Pascal about the experiment he was planning to pull the humanoid out. If she had any observation methods prepared, she would use them now. Pascal had gradually become accustomed to Sun Yang's sudden appearances. She simply finished the work at hand and then arranged for someone to tinker with a machine.

"Ahem, well, I'm going to experiment to see if I can bring people to my world. I'll pick a few people, so don't get excited." Sun Yang spoke publicly first as a precaution, but the T-dolls in Oasis and Griffin Base were still in a frenzy.

Sun Yang surveyed the entire base, then, after careful consideration, decided to call in M4 and Makarov. The former, as a clone, must have unique qualities, while the latter possessed a strong ability to think and see things from unusual perspectives.

"M4." When Sun Yang read out this name, the humanoids had an expression that said, "She must be one of them."

"Makarov." When Sun Yang said the second name, the entire base fell into silence for a moment, and then the communication traffic in the entire base suddenly increased. Even Makarov himself was confused, his red eyes revealing great doubt.

"Why me?" Makarov put down her book in her dormitory and looked up at the ceiling. Although she didn't know from what angle her commander was looking at her, she felt as if they were looking at each other.

"I need Makarov's unique perspective. Just in case of any emergency, prepare sufficient supplies and back up the mental files." After Sun Yang finished speaking, he waited quietly for the two to get their equipment ready.

"Huh! A little nervous!" M4 quickly prepared what she needed. She had already prepared herself to be called out. After backing up her mind ("I can actually back it up!" M4 exclaimed again), she stayed on standby.

Makarov took a moment to put on his gear, then waited in the corridor. A group of unassigned humanoids gathered around the two of them from a distance.

Sun Yang focused his consciousness on the two figures. He tried to pull them out like a shotgun. Sun Yang felt his consciousness connect with the figures, his thoughts like a thread penetrating a barrier and connecting with the two figures.

Sun Yang imagined a pulling action, and the humanoids watching M4 and Makarov saw them floating in the air, getting higher and higher - and then sticking to the ceiling.

"Commander?" M4 asked puzzledly while lying on the ceiling.

"There is something blocking me. It's quite heavy..." Sun Yang closed his eyes, trying to find the feeling.

"Zihugua, I think it's the walls of the base that are blocking you." Makarov said incoherently, his face pressed against the ceiling.

"We have detected that the commander's signal has split into two from the base and connected to M4 and Makarov." Pascal operated the machine.

Sun Yang tried it a few more times, then asked other people to try, and even asked everyone in the base to try it, but none of them worked. Besides getting a bunch of "it felt fun," he gained nothing.

"I just don't believe it." Sun Yang settled for the next best thing and tried to find the Iron Blood puppet soldier. As soon as he thought about it, a hardened Iron Blood figure appeared before him, holding a pile of ore in his hands.

"The puppet soldiers are fine. Could it be because of the mind cloud map? Is it a problem of the amount of information?" Pascal was muttering something again, but she was also completely in the dark on this aspect and could only make various assumptions.

Sun Yang shoved the puppet back in without interrupting his normal work. He didn't waste any of the blue or green bars when he retrieved the shotgun or the puppet; it was as easy as blinking an eye. It probably had nothing to do with the size of the target.

"Let's sort out some clues later. M4, Makarov, mission canceled." Sun Yang waved his hand and gave up the idea temporarily.

The difference between a tactical figure and a puppet figure is probably whether or not it has a mind cloud. But honestly, what's the difference between transporting an empty computer and one fully loaded? At most, it's just heavier, I guess.

But Sun Yang himself was able to lift people across worlds, so this might really need to be considered from a magical perspective. Damn, the novels I read all had systematic step-by-step instructions on how to do it, but I had to slowly experiment, like an adolescent trying to figure out how to masturbate in the dark.

"Okay, I'll look into other things..." Sun Yang turned off the public channel. It was quite unethical for her husband to talk even if there was nothing to say. Except when necessary (such as when reminding everyone that she was going to arrest someone), she should keep her mouth shut if possible and not meddle in matters that she did not understand.

Sun Yang cast his gaze elsewhere. Several humanoids were rechecking the number of Iron-Blooded Puppet Soldiers in their inventory. Sun Yang remembered that he should have nearly a hundred fully expanded Iron-Blooded humanoids of various types. Multiplying that by five would be more than enough to handle the current situation.

Speaking of it, Sun Yang remembered that the Iron Blood's armed forces seemed to be quite advanced, with Jupiter cannons and plasma weapons. If they were to be used, wouldn't they be able to directly overwhelm the Dark Souls world?

But this thing is for the Iron-Blooded Dolls. If you mess around with it, you might just end up back at the bonfire. Now that I've seen it, I'll test the combat effectiveness of these Iron-Blooded Dolls in a real-world setting. You can't take the mowing down of a field in a game seriously; they're robots after all.

"Agent, it's me, Sun Yang. I've tested that I can take the Iron Blood puppets out, so I want to see how the puppets fight without a commander." Sun Yang privately chatted with Griffin's agent, asking her to prepare the test site and several common Iron Blood puppet soldiers.

"Master, you want to take your puppet to fight? But you don't seem to have a command module." The agent said with some confusion.

"I'll just use it as an automatic turret. I'll put it away when I'm done." Sun Yang said helplessly. Even if it was a stupid puppet, it would have no problem shooting at a moving target.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements now. But Commander, the puppet's combat efficiency is... not very high when it's not receiving orders. Please be mentally prepared. What kind of combat environment do you require?"

"The terrain is complex and narrow, and most of the enemies are melee-oriented, with their mechas being similar in strength to humans. I'll just see how the Seaweed Head performs. Considering that the other party might launch a sneak attack, let's make it an encounter battle." Sun Yang thought for a moment and reported his needs. If he wanted to lead the Iron-Blooded Puppet Soldiers forward, he would inevitably have to face many outrageous enemies.

"Seaweed Head? I see, it's the Cutter." The agent reacted immediately. It was estimated that Griffin's humanoid had mentioned this nickname many times.

"Well, 5V5 will be enough. I mainly want to see how the game turns out." Sun Yang nodded and said.

However, just dealing with Teacher Zhu and the Dragoon was enough of a headache for Sun Yang. In the game, a crossbow could cripple them, but in this world, armor was solid, not just health bars. If it couldn't be penetrated, it couldn't be penetrated. If Teacher Zhu could crush Seaweed Head under fire, then Sun Yang would have to suffer.

After all, it's hard to say whether there's flesh underneath that armor. Considering Dolan Gureg's outrageous soul technology, it's possible that Ju-sensei is just a giant iron shell powered by soul, and the shell is several centimeters thick. Honestly, what's the difference between this and a humanoid form?

Even stronger than a humanoid, which has to consider hydraulic joints, internal power reactors, and the like, the Dark Soul's iron shell doesn't even consider this. It can simply absorb the soul and do its work. In some areas, the Dark Soul's scientific research level is truly leaps and bounds ahead.

While Sun Yang was lost in thought, his agent, looking rather grumpy, had already arranged a simulated combat experiment. Griffin Base had a dedicated simulated combat area, where modules could be used to quickly generate the desired environment.

A Griffin humanoid squad entered the venue, carrying various blunt instruments and unopened cold weapons, all of them showing happy expressions. Elsewhere, a neatly organized group of Slicers entered the venue, holding two submachine guns.

The Negev Squad. Their captain's iconic pink hair and white dress, as well as their battle with the Judge, demonstrate their prowess. Their members are TAR21, Galil, UZI, and Jericho. While their weaponry is somewhat unusual, they are truly an elite squad.

"This submachine gun, a plasma weapon?" Sun Yang looked closely at the Seaweed Head's weapon, which gave it the impression of an energy weapon. He flipped through several sub-directories and examined the Seaweed Head's weapons in detail.
