I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

"Veronica, these are either experimental equipment from a buried laboratory, or prototypes they got lucky with. We haven't found anything like this in all the time we've been active in the wasteland. There's no way such a factory exists."

"Elder, the world has changed. These people have strange origins. Have you ever seen a moving car? They drove here. I've seen their weapons. Those laser guns and batteries are unlike anything we know. They have independent military factories that can independently produce matching nuclear batteries!"

"You're worrying too much, Veronica. There were drivable cars before, back when the Enclave was still around. These are probably just sealed experimental equipment. Countless scientific research projects were abandoned in the United States before the nuclear war. They were just a bunch of lucky people with a little technical knowledge."

"Oh my god, these people are at the door! When I come in, someone will stop me and punish me! Wake up, elders!"

Veronica's voice gradually became higher and higher, and cold voices came from the surrounding Brotherhood soldiers.

"Watch your manner, Maester, you are speaking to an elder." There was a warning in their tone.

171 Attack on the Brotherhood of Steel (Part )

"Veronica, go down and rest. Just hand over the equipment you brought to the research department," the elder said, completely unconcerned with Veronica's warning. "We'll deal with these people, but after we deal with the enemy outside, I have other plans for you. You've gone too far."

"Huh? Is this how you're going to handle it? Send knights to kill them all? Fine, fine," Veronica shook her head in despair. "I've done my best. No matter what happens next, I won't say anything. I only ask that you don't let the civilians and researchers fight. No matter what the outcome, don't let technology be interrupted."

"I know this better than you, Veronica. Now, please go back and have a good rest," the elder said finally. Veronica was then carried by several fully armed guards. Her weapons and equipment were taken off, and she was forced to walk towards the confinement room.

"There's nothing to see anymore. What do you say, Commander? Should we attack by force or by surprise? This bunker looks like it's made of ordinary reinforced concrete, not very sturdy." M14 asked Sun Yang as she saw the camera moving further away.

Negotiations weren't successful. Even the Brotherhood's own people couldn't be persuaded? Makarov took a final look at his AST power armor.

"If Veronica can succeed in persuading them, is there a need for the postman to show up? Postman No. 6 is the variable in this story. Without her, many things will not be able to be eased. Hmm? Are these people planning to send people wearing power armor to fight? I'm very anxious. Let's fire a round of ammunition first and tell them that we are here." Sun Yang issued a combat order.

The silent valley was suddenly filled with the roar of intense gunfire. The AST powered armor on the hillside spewed out machine gun ammunition, howitzers, and missiles bombarded the seemingly flimsy bunker.

The puppets nearby also drew their respective laser weapons and pulled the triggers, crimson lasers sweeping across the bunker.

This pre-war bunker wasn't as vulnerable to the attack of four ASTs as it looked. The reinforced concrete and surrounding soil had been damaged, but the basic structure was still intact.

As for the crimson lasers fired by the puppets, they only left dark marks on the concrete. Pre-war America was particularly adept at defending against laser weapons; even its power armor had an anti-laser coating.

Commander, there's movement in the nearby rock structure. Three entrances have been opened, and Brotherhood of Steel soldiers are emerging from disguised passages. M14 and her puppets were nearby, providing surveillance and sniping. She relayed the coordinates she had observed to her teammates.

"I also don't think they'd be stupid enough to build just one entrance. M14, continue to monitor the bunker entrance and suppress the soldiers coming out. Palette Team will attack separately. Makarov, I'll break through from your point all the way inside."

[Understood.] Makarov's puppets sprang to life, heading in one direction. Sun Yang activated his stealth suit, while Makarov arranged for his teammates to fight Brotherhood fighters in other directions.

The first to strike was the M14 sniper. The puppets' Gauss rifles pierced the Brotherhood's armor with a single shot. The Brotherhood immediately directed their machine guns and laser machine guns in the direction of the attack, while another man fired a rocket launcher at a nearby hill.

Amidst the lasers and gunfire, the puppets had to move quickly to avoid being killed by saturation fire, and the humanoids of the Palette team finally faced off against the Brotherhood soldiers.

The first to encounter were AAT and her puppets. Once the Brotherhood members saw their equipment, they immediately sought cover and laid down suppressive fire. The last of them headed inside the bunker for reinforcements.

"Bunker! Bunker! The enemy is fully equipped with heavy weapons and even has a power armor! Yes! All of them are equipped with heavy weapons! Send reinforcements quickly! We can't hold out for much longer!"

When the AAT was about to turn the corner with the power armor, saturated lasers and machine gun ammunition were poured out, and the front armor plate of the AST power armor was hit by a torrential rain of attacks. The front armor plate was quickly broken and melted.

However, the AAT's counterattack was also underway. Using the drone's and the M14's field of view, its missile system successfully locked onto these non-friendly tin cans.

The smart missiles on the shoulders flew out and hit the heads of these tin cans hard, but the original targets of these missiles were human units.

The protective capabilities of these power armors are still good enough. Missiles hitting the face will only cause some uncomfortable vibrations and some damage to the armor.

The AAT puppets took the opportunity to spread out and pulled the trigger at the iron cans on the opposite side. The lasers quickly destroyed the opponent's bunkers, but hitting the power armor seemed like rain hitting an iron plate - these iron cans had a hard time fighting against anti-material weapons, but it was particularly easy to defend against laser weapons.

These Brotherhood soldiers regained their footing under the firepower of four laser machine guns, then pulled the triggers of their weapons at the puppets, and the two sides started fighting directly.

Crimson beams intertwined across a distance of tens of meters. The Brotherhood's armor was scorched a fiery crimson, but the bullets simply didn't penetrate it. Meanwhile, the AAT's puppets, carrying heavier weapons, were slower to evade, resulting in the loss of two of their four puppets.

[Wow! Are you kidding me? Didn't the M14 kill one guy with one shot? If I had known, I would have brought live ammunition and armor-piercing ammunition!]

The AAT ordered the puppets to move to the other side to absorb the fire, and then rushed out themselves, firing fiercely at these iron cans with the howitzers and machine guns on the AST power armor before the front armor plate was shot out.

The howitzer exploded in the crowd, and one of the unlucky guys who was hit directly had his chest armor shattered, revealing the complex and twisted metal structure inside, as well as his charred chest.

The surrounding tin cans were only slightly damaged in their armor, but the large-caliber machine guns that followed immediately blasted large holes through their armor, and the Brotherhood soldiers who were not killed immediately fell to the ground.

"Wow! What the hell is this! Laser weapons can't fire, grenades can't explode, but machine guns can kill them." AAT complained, trying to restrain her puppets and continue moving towards the secret exit. Her complaints were immediately picked up by her teammates.

"That's because pre-war American laser weapons were common in this world! A lot of power armor was used to defend against riots back home! Do you think their energy defense is any good?! The bad ones are all dead!" Sten's voice came over the comms. "I'm getting beaten! Damn it! These laser weapons are useless! They don't even work!"

172 Attack on the Brotherhood of Steel (Part )

Unlike the AAT, the firepower of the Sten and Type 92 puppets seems to be somewhat insufficient in comparison, and their conditions are more serious.

Aside from the mainframe, which was equipped with AST power armor, the puppets only carried laser rifles and various grenades. These nuclear battery-powered laser rifles were much smaller and less powerful than heavy laser machine guns, so firing at the Brotherhood's power armor was like playing a joke.

Because of this misjudgment, Sten was a little careless and let his puppet get as close to the opposite side as possible, used plasma grenades to clear the way, and shot at the opponent's power armor at a close distance.

These Brotherhood of Steel members were all well-trained soldiers. Even though Sten had secretly thrown the grenade, they were the first to notice the strange grenade. These Brotherhood members quickly took cover and alerted those around them.

The plasma grenade only killed one Brotherhood soldier who was slow to react. He was directly hit by the exploding plasma and lost half of his body in an instant.

The remaining people found cover in time, so the plasma only shattered the cover, leaving their armor unaffected. When Sten prepared to pursue with his laser gun, the enemy's even more ferocious laser fire directly vaporized all of Sten's puppets.

[Mine! My puppet!] Sten poked his head out and fired at the Brotherhood soldiers, but the well-trained Brotherhood soldiers immediately retreated to the rear in an orderly manner after finishing their shooting. When two of them saw AST poking out, they directly opened fire on the machine gun.

The other teams had already reported the enemy's AST power armor, so they naturally didn't dare to be careless. They fired laser machine guns at the power armor's head and weapon systems. One of the Brotherhood members was also carrying a single-shot Gauss rifle, and this member immediately fired at Sten's outstretched arm.

The disadvantages of the AST power armor became apparent at this time. Before Sun Yang approved the upgrade, the right arm of this power armor had a sophisticated weapon system. Although the armor plate on the arm was sufficient to deal with most battles, after the arm weapon system was shattered by the Gauss rifle, the miniature machine gun and howitzer were offline.

When high-power heavy laser weapons fired at it, the armor plates, which were mainly used to protect against live ammunition, quickly melted.

[Fuck my hand!] Shortly after Sten pulled the trigger, an alarm sounded indicating a weapon system failure, followed by an alarm from his right arm.

At this critical moment, the Type 92 behind Sten locked onto the Brotherhood soldiers through the drone overhead. Her missile tanks ejected a volley of missiles, hitting the Brotherhood soldiers who were continuously firing, forcibly interrupting the opponent's offensive rhythm.

[Stop it!] After the Type 92 unleashed its missiles, it used its hook to forcibly pull Sten back. The weapon system on Sten's right arm had been burned by the high-energy laser, and along with her mechanical arm, the entire thing had melted into a pile of scrap metal.

"Report! The enemy has plasma grenades, armor-piercing machine guns and guided weapons! Reinforcements, bring composite alloy shields and EMP weapons! There are anti-material snipers at nearby coordinates! Artillery support is needed!" The second team of Brotherhood immediately realized that something was wrong after the exchange of fire. They were experienced and could figure out the equipment used by the humanoids from their attacks.

[Palette Squad, the enemy has discovered my coordinates and is moving to a backup position. Unable to provide fire support for two minutes.] The M14's voice entered the voice channel again.

"It's okay. I have all my puppets here, and I have plasma pistols. We can give them a surprise attack." The Type 92 blindly fired grenades and machine guns around the corner, suppressing the Brotherhood's attack. Meanwhile, his puppet wielded a laser rifle and blasted the scrap metal on Sten's right arm, quickly slicing through the fused mass. Sten had long since disabled her right pain system, otherwise her mind would have been paralyzed by the pain.

"My missile system is intact, and I still have two rounds left. I'll cover your puppets as they charge forward..." Sten checked the nearby drone's view. The second team engaging them was still delivering suppressive fire on the position where the M14s had been firing. The other group had retreated far away. More tin cans emerged from the hidden cave, armed with grenade launchers and several ten-centimeter-thick metal plates.

These people prepared to build a position on the spot and launch grenades at Sten's location.

[We can't wait any longer, charge!] Using the drones hovering nearby to locate them, the Sten Power Armor's missiles flew out, showering the Brotherhood of Steel soldiers with bullets.

Sten piloted the AST as a human shield in the front and launched the last round of missiles.

In a panic, the Brotherhood soldiers could only fire the grenades in their hands as quickly as possible. Sten covered the Type 92 puppet holding a plasma pistol behind him and caught the grenade with his face.

The small-scale EMP immediately disabled the AST system, while Sten merely fainted briefly—after all, humanoids are often exposed to EMPs in combat, and their bodies are technologically advanced in this regard. The AST power armor, with its patchwork and exposed sections, was immediately disabled by the EMP, requiring time to reboot.

But the Type 92 behind was not affected. She continued to fire the next round of missiles, while using Sten's AST as a cover to spray deadly machine guns and grenades at the opposing Brotherhood of Steel.

The Brotherhood soldiers immediately hid behind the alloy shields and fired laser machine guns at the AAT's power armor, trying to melt it. The Brotherhood soldiers holding Gauss rifles also fired at Sten, but the effect was also not very good.

The design of the AST power armor didn't consider containment or life support systems; it was purely about stacking armor and weapons. The redesign of the humanoids, which have greater load tolerance, took into account the potential for tanks and howitzers (something the humanoids would consider), and thus significantly strengthened their frontal armor.

So now, the Brotherhood's Gauss rifle can only make a dent in it. Compared with the fragile weapon system, the frontal protection capability of the AST power armor is much stronger.

The Type 92 puppets took the opportunity to come around from farther away. The powerful output of the powered exoskeleton and the puppets themselves allowed them to move extremely quickly. It didn't take long before they approached quickly with plasma pistols in hand.

The puppets unleashed a barrage of plasma grenades, and while the Brotherhood members were dodging the plasma explosions, they pulled down their alloy shields, freeing up the mainframe's firing range. Then, the puppets fired plasma pistols at the cans at extremely close range.

The dangerous plasma slurry hit the helmets of the Brotherhood warriors. At this distance, there was no possibility that the humanoids would miss.

The Brotherhood soldiers tried frantically to kill these puppets, but the puppets were faster than the Brotherhood soldiers and had no disadvantages in strength and durability.

Brutal close combat ensued. Brotherhood members smashed the puppet's head with their fists, but the price was the plasma melting its chest armor. Team members a little further away directly opened fire with their laser machine guns, after all, their allies were not afraid of lasers.

The scorching laser melted the puppet, and the plasma shot out from the puppet's pistol also took away half of the Brotherhood warrior's head.

The Type 92 host ignored its own puppets. After clearing the range of fire, it fired wildly with machine guns and grenades, killing all the Brotherhood soldiers who were in a mess and the entangled puppets.

Soon, the reinforcements from the Brotherhood of Steel on Sten and Type 92 were completely wiped out, and the price they paid was the annihilation of their puppets.

"I can accept this outcome, but next time we'll have to review the mission briefing and make recommendations. Okay, let me grab a plasma pistol and we'll continue the fight." Sten dismounted from her damaged AST power armor. Her right arm was gone, leaving only traces of a laser cut. Sten could only shrug helplessly and pick up a plasma pistol dropped by a Type 92 puppet.

It seemed there was no need to worry about restocking the plasma pistols. Usually, the puppets were finished before their ammunition ran out. Sten put away the plasma grenade and two plasma pistols, preparing them for use later in the battle.

After reporting their situation to Sun Yang, they both rushed into the cave entrance. They were ejected within a second, their fragile skin easily destroyed by the laser turrets inside. Sten and Type 92 could only report their situation again and then wait at the entrance for further instructions.

The AAT's heavy laser firepower and missile suppression were effective, so the M14's nearby puppets didn't suppress any of the Brotherhood members. With one suppressing them, the other using their Gauss rifles to target them, and the AAT and M14s immediately wiped out the Brotherhood members.

AAT also reported the battle situation to Sun Yang, thanked M14 for his support, and then rushed into the cave second - and then was also beaten out. The Brotherhood soldiers inside took out the sealed missiles and shot at any power armor they saw that they didn't recognize. Fortunately, the AST armor was strong enough and barely withstood a direct hit from the missile.

173 Attack on the Brotherhood of Steel (Part )

[Should I be glad I didn't bring a laser weapon?] After Makarov heard the news, he saw Sun Yang hurriedly stuffing a lot of AT4 into his puppet's hands.

"What the hell, why are laser weapons so ineffective? Could it be that the material science in this world is all about the energy weapon attack and defense? My weapon upgrade is useless. Why are these cans so energy resistant? In this world, shields can resist kinetic energy, and stacked armor can resist energy?" Sun Yang muttered.

Sun Yang had been relying on his own experience in deploying his troops, wishful thinking that energy weapons, being an upgraded version of kinetic weapons, would be more effective. However, armor defense wasn't a game statistic; a powered armor that couldn't withstand anti-material weapons could withstand a high-powered laser for a while.

After seeing that the humanoid puppets suffered heavy losses, he immediately issued follow-up orders.

"If it's difficult to advance and there are too many enemies, don't charge hard. Reunite with M14 and form a new team to fight. Make sure there are enough combat manpower. I will replenish your puppets after I finish fighting here. Our main combat targets are Brotherhood soldiers wearing power armor. Their number will not exceed fifty, and most of our forces have been dispatched now." Sun Yang maintained his invisibility and rushed towards the position of the last team with the puppet carrying a rocket launcher.

It would be very difficult if we didn't intercept these tin cans at the door and wait for them to form a battle formation and attack us with all kinds of heavy individual weapons.

The team didn't move quickly after emerging. They brought alloy shields and grenade launchers, and one of them noticed the drone hovering among the greenery and hillsides, providing vision.

[Hey! That strange iron lump, did Veronica bring it in? It seems like it's looking at us!]

[That's a detector, destroy it quickly!] The Brotherhood soldier holding the grenade launcher immediately fired an EMP grenade. Accompanied by a large-scale electromagnetic pulse, the drone that had been providing battlefield vision fell directly to the ground and turned into a pile of garbage.

Then Makarov saw Sun Yang throw out more than 20 drones. These drones were equipped with anti-material weapons and began to circle around to cause trouble for the Brotherhood soldiers.

These drones equipped with anti-material weapons were quite large, and their appearance immediately alerted the Brotherhood soldiers. The guns mounted under the drones immediately locked onto the Brotherhood soldiers, but before that, an EMP grenade landed nearby.

The third team of the Brotherhood of Steel immediately fired laser barrages and more EMP grenades, shooting down the drones suspended in the air.

The Makarov host, the puppets, and Sun Yang also sprang into action during the drone attack. The puppets' AT4 rockets blasted the Brotherhood of Steel members with unbearable pain, instantly killing several. And amidst the smoke and dust, a slender streak of golden lightning loomed.

Golden lightning instantly pierced through the smoke and dust left by the rocket fire, striking the surviving Brotherhood of Steel soldiers behind. The lightning bolt pierced through the armor, sending the men inside screaming heartbreakingly before twitching and falling to the ground.

The Brotherhood's vaunted armor was completely impervious to the golden lightning spears unleashed by miracles. While outrageous, in the world of Dark Souls, the Lightning Spear series of miracles completely neutralizes metal armor. Furthermore, in the past, the Lightning Spear's superior version, the Sunlight Spear, could even shatter ancient dragon scales. This series of miracles is a spell with armor-piercing abilities.

Thank you, +10 Dragon Bell. Sun Yang held the Dragon Bell that had undergone a qualitative change in his hand. This was a catalyst that had undergone a qualitative change, allowing it to trigger even more powerful attacks of the corresponding attributes.

"Did you see where that thing came from?!" one of them shouted loudly. They swept the surrounding obstacles as much as possible and even forced back the puppet that Makarov was about to touch.

Lightning once again gathered in the air, this time shooting down from above. This time, a bolt of lightning struck a Brotherhood soldier's helmet. A resounding "crack!" A small hole was left in the soldier's armor, but wisps of white vapor drifted out from the hole. His head had been scorched by the electricity.

"It's a stealth suit! Use EMP to force him out!" The Brotherhood flattened some of the surrounding hills. They adopted the strategy of using EMP when in doubt and began throwing EMP grenades around.

But this strategy was useless to Sun Yang, because he had already maintained his invisibility and walked around them, took out a plasma grenade coated with super glue from the window, and took advantage of the blind spot in their vision to throw it behind a Brotherhood soldier.

In the chaos, the man photographed failed to notice the dangerous gadget attached to his armor. It wasn't until it exploded that the Brotherhood realized the enemy was among them. A violent plasma blast ripped the man in two, sending roars of rage from the remaining Brotherhood soldiers.

Another burst of plasma erupted in the air, turning a Brotherhood soldier's helmet and brain into a green paste.

The man behind him suddenly fell down, clutching his neck. The next second, a Saturn alloy dinner knife appeared before the soldiers. The knife had already pierced through the seam of the neck, easily piercing the weak spot.

The stealth suits in Advanced Warfare are so incredible that they render you invisible to any weapon you hold. However, miracles like the lightning spear and the magical light that enchants weapons seem impossible to hide. Perhaps magic simply doesn't respect the laws of physics.

"Retreat! Retreat! Regroup!" The members of the Brotherhood fired a final volley at Makarov who was about to rush over from a distance, and then threw EMP grenades directly onto the ground.

This would render their weapons useless, but their power armor was designed with the possibility of being attacked by EMP, so their armor is fully enclosed and provides enough power to kill the enemy wearing only stealth armor with fists and feet.

Strong electric currents splashed freely in the cramped environment, and Sun Yang's power suit immediately overloaded, revealing its original form. He also held a Saturn alloy dinner knife, ready to blend in with the crowd and surprise these Brotherhood soldiers.

"I'll kill you!" The Brotherhood soldiers angrily raised their fists at Sun Yang. These fists and legs, strengthened by the power servos, could easily crush a person.

"That's hard to say." Sun Yang conjured two plasma pistols in his hands like a magic trick and pulled the trigger at the two closest people. The scorching plasma jets melted their helmets and heads together.

"If you don't want to die, surrender!" Sun Yang shouted loudly.

But those still alive were consumed by rage, roaring and charging forward. Sun Yang killed two of them and tried to evade them using his exoskeleton's jetpack. However, the EMP's effects disabled the jetpack, requiring time to restart.

Caught off guard, Sun Yang could only shield his head with his arms and take the blow head-on. The servo-powered punch sent Sun Yang reeling, sending his plasma pistol flying. A dull pain shot through his arm, clearly broken. He was completely knocked to the ground.

BANG, BOOM, BOOM! A frenzied burst of machine gunfire rang out in the distance. Makarov waited until Sun Yang lay down, clearing his firing range, before attacking. The AST armor's machine guns annihilated the last surviving Brotherhood members.

Only two or three people escaped because they were closest to the cave entrance and ran back to the bunker.

"They must have been fighting so hard that they forgot about me. Commander, if you want to participate in this battle, you'd better train yourself to be stronger." Makarov shook his head. The puppet picked Sun Yang up from the ground and set him aside.

174 Emergency Treatment
