I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

246 Upgrade Equipment

Rukatiye didn't know how long she slept, but when she woke up, she felt very energetic and had no pain anywhere on her body.

She climbed out of bed and threw back the covers, then realized an embarrassing problem—all her gear was filthy dirty, and she had no other clothes to change into.

"Awake? Looks like you slept for two days and two nights straight. I've already washed your clothes. My God, they're so dirty." Sun Yang's voice came from next door. He stuffed Rukatiye's usual clothes back from under the partition.

He directly used the cleaning facilities at the base. There were many spoils of war and undamaged equipment in the base that needed cleaning and maintenance, so Sun Yang threw them directly into the facilities.

"You're going to throw my clothes in there like ammunition, and then have the machines in your base clean them? Can you throw me into your base too?"

Rukatiye took off his bathrobe and threw it on the ground, then picked up the clothes on the ground and strung them together.

"Yes, of course. Actually, that's another world. I've thrown an undead into it. His name is Strade, and he's a very powerful magician." Sun Yang yawned next door. "He's currently in charge of various scientific research work in my base. If you want to stay, that's fine, but aren't you looking for someone?"

"Forget it, I prefer to fight outside, and I won't be able to gain souls staying in your base. What are your plans for the next step?" Rukatiye thought for a moment and decided not to run around. Although she had never met Strade, she felt it was strange to be confined to a base.

"What are you thinking about? KENSHI, I mean, there is a vast world outside my main base. Although it is also dangerous, it is not as dangerous as the Dark Souls world. If you plan to go there to train, I can satisfy you. You can also get souls after killing the enemies in the world over there." My men are also happy to help you.

"...Can I ask, what is your ultimate purpose in helping me like this? You can't train someone for no reason. The resources invested are enough for you to do many other things." Rukatiye asked.

"I'm preparing combat power for the future. In a future full of destruction and despair, it's not enough to rely solely on humanoids. Humanoids' combat capabilities are limited by craftsmanship and materials. The undead can obviously exceed that upper limit. I need strong and trustworthy undead. Can this explanation dispel your doubts?" Sun Yang responded.

"A future of destruction? Is it related to the decline of the First Flame? I've heard before that the emergence of the undead is due to the weakening of the power of fire."

"No, no, no. Most of the worlds are not as deadly as this Dark Soul world. If I go to that world, there will be weird things like time and space turbulence, and basically there will be no living things. It's just that my power is not enough to fight against them." Sun Yang quickly denied.

"Ah, other worlds... What are other worlds like? But you mean gathering strength to destroy the enemy country, right? Why don't you just explain it this way? I understand that." Rukatiye said in a way that he could understand.

Perhaps this is the difference between scientific researchers and travelers in the Dark Souls world.

Strider had his own views on the cross-world issue and accepted it quickly. In comparison, Rukatiye seemed to be slow to accept it.

However, this is mainly due to the difference in experience. In the world of Dark Souls, the older you get, the more powerful you become. After all, those who are not powerful or do not have special skills would have died long ago.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Let's have breakfast and set off. Our target is the Molten Iron Country. In view of the influence of the turbulence of time and space, we must start from a campfire first, and then move forward together..." Sun Yang stuffed Rukatiye with a lot of hot food.

The environment in the Molten Iron Country is extremely hot, and the armor there is also sturdy, durable and heat-resistant. The various types of plasma and laser weapons Sun Yang brought from the Radiation Furry would be very ineffective there.

The heat can't be dissipated, and the effect of the heat energy is probably not good. It's better to just use live ammunition.

So, the combination of a fantasy world and sci-fi equipment is really weird. It's okay to just argue over stacking boxes, but when the real fight breaks out, it's really fucked up to find that live ammunition is better than energy weapons.

"Keep those weapons to yourself for now. What kind of gun do you like?" Sun Yang was preparing to upgrade Rukatiye's weapons.

"Shotguns and machine guns, right? The firepower of the others isn't enough." Rukatiye became alert upon hearing this.

"Here you go, this is an IMR machine gun," Sun Yang said, pulling out a weapon made by the Oasis Research Department from the base. "It shares common parts with the standard IMR assault rifle and IMR submachine gun. The main differences are in caliber and range. The 3D printing module at the back can provide 50 rounds of ammunition at a time, and there's a mode to choose between hollow-point, armor-piercing, and regular bullets. Printing is fast, only takes two seconds."

After realizing that laser weapons could not completely replace live ammunition weapons, Sun Yang ordered the development of live ammunition equipment for individual soldiers.

Oasis's research department developed improvements based on the IMR submachine gun and assault rifle. The newly created IMR machine gun featured a longer and thicker barrel, significantly increasing its ammunition capacity. While this also made it heavier, it was still a reasonable weight to carry.

To be honest, Sun Yang originally wanted to arm the holographic vending machines and holographic weapons he had brought from the Great Mountains. However, if the holographic vending machines were stripped of their useless outer packaging and only the core components were retained, they could not be integrated into individual weapons.

Currently, the holographic vending machine is mainly used to provide supplies to the humanoid teams exploring the KENSHI world and the Meimo world.

There are no reliable sources of supplies in these two worlds, so the captain or the pistol figure will carry a large box and move around with the team members.

If the scientists in the Great Mountain Range successfully analyzed his technology in the future, Sun Yang could directly install holographic vending machines on armored units. After all, holographic technology could construct shields, generate raw materials for 3D printing, and deploy holographic security personnel as infantry accompanying armored units.

"Finally, if you think your clothes are reliable, just keep wearing them. If you want to get better clothes and equipment, you can ask me directly. I have limited manpower, so protecting yourself is the most important thing. Do you understand? Don't be stingy with bullets. Use them as much as you can. I have plenty."

"Hmmmm," Rukatiye nodded hurriedly as she devoured a burger in two or three bites. She quickly finished her meal, wiped her mouth, and put her gun back on her back.

Sun Yang also took this opportunity to put on his elite riot armor-style power suit again. Although the power suit was blown apart by Thomas's punch, it was Thomas's strength, not the suit's fault.

"Did you get this set of clothes from another world as well?" Rukatiye pulled open the partition and saw the very cool coat on Sun Yang.

"I guess so. The style of the clothes and the technical materials used are all taken from the Fallout World. If you want, I can prepare it for you~"

"Um, is there any outfit that looks similar to mine?" Rukatiye pointed to the Miller Knights suit he was wearing.

"No problem... Oh, you're an immortal, right?" Sun Yang opened the window and, without a second thought, placed an order according to the humanoid specifications. The factory immediately began to rumble.

"What? What's so magical about this suit? Will it have different effects when worn by ordinary people and undead?" asked Rukatiye.

"The main reason is that ordinary people can't withstand too high a power output... As for the effect, you'll know after you try it." Sun Yang kept it a secret. While the new power suit was still being made, he took Rukatiye directly to the campfire, heading towards the campfire made of earth tower.

247 Heading towards the Black Mist Tower

The entire Iron Kingdom was built atop a series of volcanoes. Gazing from the earthen towers in the distance, all one could see were several dormant Black Mist Towers and the Iron City nestled in the heart of the crater.

The Black Mist Tower is composed of a main tower, two auxiliary towers, and a small tower. These towers are connected to each other by chains at the top. It is hard to say what they looked like in the past, at least this is all that remains now.

These towers seemed to have been built according to the terrain, covering a vast area and towering into the clouds, like artificial hills. Below the towers was the mountain and ash as thick as snow.

Some windows can be seen in the mountain. Perhaps the original feed inlet at the bottom has been blocked by ash. Places left untouched will eventually be buried.

A thick layer of white dust covered the center and surroundings of the tower. It looked like snow, but it was actually just ash left over from the smelting process.

At the foot of the volcano, you can see a lot of abandoned farmland. The volcanic ash donated by the volcano at the foot of the mountain is excellent planting land. Its rich nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements are enough to grow a large number of crops.

But now, there are few people there. The once-thriving civilization has fallen. No one walks in the wilderness. All that can be seen are wild animals lurking in the shadows and the living dead lingering in the dilapidated farmhouses.

Waves of heat blew down from the volcano, leaving no living creatures on it. Anything that could be ignited by the lava had long since been burned. It was hard to imagine how a powerful nation could have emerged from such a harsh environment.

The zombie lying in the dilapidated house suddenly moved, and his not-so-sensitive ears heard a strange movement. Influenced by the sound, he couldn't help but stick his head out of the window -

Boom boom boom——!

A heavy-duty all-terrain motorcycle sped towards them from the direction of the earth pile. Rukatiye sat in the front, pedaling the accelerator to the floor. Sun Yang sat behind them, his face tense and silent.

The motorcycle sped past the dilapidated village, rushed up the gentle slope, and headed towards the volcanic group full of lava.

From the world of Advanced Warfare, a powerful all-terrain motorcycle raced across the bare volcanic hills, kicking up clouds of dust that left a long trail. Rukatiye's bangs and braids flew wildly in the air.

"Sun Yang! You have so many good things here! I want to drive all the way into the tower!" Rukatiye shouted happily, while the spirit sitting in the back - Sun Yang had a very bad look on his face.

"Ah... well..." Sun Yang had never ridden an unprotected motorcycle at over 200 kilometers per hour, and he was genuinely terrified. Even if he were a spirit, if he got thrown out, he'd die right there.

Half an hour ago, Sun Yang felt that walking was too slow, so he looked for a vehicle suitable for this terrain. The hoverbike produced by Advanced Warfare World caught his eye.

Sun Yang brought out the motorcycle, explained the precautions and operation to Rukatiye, and prepared to drive over. However, Rukatiye said he needed to practice and sat in the front seat, and Sun Yang was happy to slack off, so he sat in the back seat.

At first, Rukatiye was just moving forward slowly, maintaining a speed of about 30 kilometers per hour. But after all, the operation mode of this motorcycle is quite stupid. After spending five minutes to figure out what the various buttons do, Rukatiye decisively increased the speed and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

Then, Sun Yang gripped the handrail tightly and fastened his seatbelt to prevent himself from falling. Rukatiye, who was standing in front of him, even had time to free up one hand to drink a drink.

"This damn place is so hot. I remember I was beaten to death last time I went into the city, and I drank all my element bottles. This time I have to go around and look for people in other places. Maybe there is someone I can communicate with."

"I say, aren't you panicking? This speed..." Sun Yang said tremblingly.

"There's nothing around, so I don't need to... Hmm?" Rukatiye looked toward the Black Mist Tower in the distance, pulling out binoculars from his side pocket. "There seem to be a lot of archers out there. Can they hit me if I'm driving so fast? Also, do you feel like the snow beneath the tower is moving?"

"Drive carefully! That's not a layer of snow, that's made of ash! Where does the snow come from in this volcano?" Sun Yang always felt that the human women around him were more or less naive.

Following Rukatiye's doubts, several unusually tall Iron Golems crawled out from the ashes beneath the Black Mist Tower. The standard Iron Golems and soldiers deployed by Iron City for outward purposes were completely different from the ones used to protect the city's interior.

These molten iron golems stood approximately four to five meters tall, and their weapons were unmatched by ordinary humans. Some wielded giant mace spears larger than Rukatiye, while others wielded molten iron hammers nicknamed "Doran Gureg Staffs" by players.

These molten iron golems crawled out from the ashes and lined up to block Rukatiye's way forward. Rukatiye had no choice but to slow down her motorcycle and turn it around, preparing to break into the Black Mist Tower from another direction.

"Damn it! There's no such strange thing in the Molten Iron City! Is the Iron King crazy? If he throws this thing into the battlefield, the Miller Knights will have no ability to resist. Sun Yang! Can your weapons penetrate these monsters?! If we rush through with our motorcycles, they will be smashed to pieces by the big clubs on their shoulders! I don't think this motorcycle is stronger than these big iron golems!"

"Slow down a little, let me try." Sun Yang first took out the IMR machine gun and fired at the monsters, but even the advanced large-caliber armor-piercing bullets could not destroy them.

The armor-piercing rounds only left countless craters in the chests of these puppets. From time to time, flames and molten iron would flow around the bodies of the molten iron puppets. God knows how these things work.

Holy crap! This thing's about as tough as a stuntman. Are you guys in Dolan's Graveyard just that into stacking armor? All you do is stack armor, then go through, and then have heavy infantry hold the line, right? This front end is at least as tough as a tank!

"Your gun doesn't seem to be very effective..." Rukatiye reduced the speed to about 60 kilometers per hour and started cruising nearby.

Damn, where are the Stinger missiles that Irons sent? That thing has more than enough firepower. There haven't been any requests for armored units for humanoids lately, so we haven't received approval to use these weapons...

Sun Yang opened the window and searched in his office, and soon found a multi-barreled self-aiming Stinger missile.

He immediately set up his missiles. There were only heat sources in front of him, so there was no need to identify them. Two seconds later, all the missiles were locked, and Sun Yang immediately pulled the trigger.

call out--! !

Several missiles flew out of the launcher and immediately hit the clumsy but incredibly powerful and defensive Molten Iron Golems. The shockwaves from the explosions shook the surrounding ashes and raised clouds of dust.

Before the smoke from the explosion cleared, Sun Yang and Rukatiye felt the soul power floating in the air being absorbed into their bodies.

There's no need to confirm, the molten iron golem is already dead. Otherwise, its soul wouldn't have leaked out.

"Great! Destroy one! Sun Yang, do you have enough ammunition?"

"It's enough, but it's still too slow for me alone. Rukatiye, I'm going to go down and fight on foot. These molten iron golems are very slow and can't catch up with us. For the Stinger missile, hold down the aiming key, wait until everything in the window is locked, and then press the release key." Sun Yang quickly explained to Rukatiye how to use it, and then he patted Rukatiye's shoulder in the driver's seat and told him to go down.

"Well, I don't think this car can drive automatically either," Rukatiye took the missile launcher, then hung the missiles handed to him by Sun Yang on his waist, "Remember to come back and reunite after the battle."

"Of course, you must also remember not to be too brave. If you cannot win, use the propulsion backpack behind you to escape from the battlefield!" After Sun Yang finished speaking, he and Rukatiye separated and went to deal with the nearby molten iron puppets.

248 The Black Mist Tower's defense is too strong!

The blazing light of the lightning spear pierced the sky. Amidst the rising dust, only the lightning spear in Sun Yang's hand was one of the few visible rays of light.

In the distance, Rukatiye, carrying a missile launcher, sped through the ashes. Her physical abilities were exceptional, and the power suit only served to mitigate the strain.

Her figure suddenly accelerated, and the jet pack on her back carried her forward dozens of meters.

After she flew out, a solid iron hammer bigger than her smashed into the ground in the ash mist, and the molten iron splashed from the molten iron puppet warrior dripped onto the ground with a sizzling sound.

Rukatiye turned around and faced the sky full of dust. The optical aiming had failed, but the thermal sensing system could still lock onto these structures whose temperature was much higher than the surrounding area.

With the sound of an explosion and smoke, the heavy iron block fell to the ground. Rukatiye took a breath and pulled out the new missile and loaded it into the launcher.

Such a formidable foe was far beyond Rukatiye's reach. Her strength, armor, and weapons were far from enough to destroy these lumps of pure metal.

But with the help of modern firepower, even she has the ability to kill these top war weapons.

Unlike Rukatiye, Sun Yang's combat was more convenient and effortless. His lightning spear could destroy a Molten Iron Golem warrior with three or four shots, disintegrating the puppets. Adhering to the principle of minimizing waste, Sun Yang sent the incapacitated puppets back to base.

Even if nothing is discovered from the research, these high-quality metals will still bring in a considerable amount of money.

The recovery team at the base had their hands melted by the scalding molten iron from the wreckage while carrying it, forcing them to return to their teammates for help. The warehouse's emergency reserve team immediately mobilized, bringing in a variety of specialized tools to recover as many of the dangerous, uncooled puppets as possible.

As Sun Yang brought back more and more messy things, the recycling department gradually adapted to the rhythm of being extremely idle when it was idle and extremely busy when it was busy, and also formulated many corresponding rules to facilitate operations.

After about ten minutes, Rukatiye had emptied his ammunition, and Sun Yang had finished dealing with his Molten Iron Golems. His mana bar ran out again, forcing him to drink a mana recharge potion while running. These Molten Iron Golems were, after all, created by the Iron Nation to oversee production facilities, so they couldn't be any less formidable.

"Rukatiye! How's it going on your side?!" After Sun Yang knocked down and recovered the last molten iron puppet warrior, he asked Rukatiye.

"Just a few more... I'm out of ammo!" Rukatiye rushed out from the ashes, looking bewildered. Following behind her were several aggressive iron golems.

There seemed to be a commotion above the Black Mist Tower. The various creatures guarding the tower were moving quickly. Sun Yang took out a telescope and looked upwards.

Those are Phantom Armor and Coal Warriors, native to the Black Mist Tower.

The so-called Phantom Armor has no real life, and only moves due to the power of the black smoke of the ruling tower. They are controlled by a black mist, so they can shoot through obstacles.

The fire power imbued in the longsword and longbow wielded by the Hollow Armor was exceptionally strong. To defeat the Hollow Armor, one had to shatter its weapons and armor, allowing the black smoke power trapped within them to dissipate.

The other type is the coal warrior, a warrior with limbs as fragile as firewood, and the weapon he wields is already covered in wounds and has a bent edge.

In fact, this was the form of human warriors before the Black Mist Tower - in such a harsh environment, these warriors' bodies had become so fragile. Although they could still wield tattered swords and axes, any agile warrior could chop off their limbs.

The warriors, burned repeatedly by the flames of the Black Mist Tower, wandered in vain in these towers, waiting for the return of the Iron King in confusion, even though their bodies were too fragile to rush to the battlefield.

In addition to the Molten Iron Golem Warriors, Phantom Armor, and Coal Warriors, there are a lot of other things. However, those things haven't appeared yet...

"Rukatiye! Run faster! People are shooting arrows from above!" In a hurry, Sun Yang took out a rocket launcher and fired several shots at the top of the tower.

The armored figures leaned against the tower's railings and damaged areas, pulling downwards the strangely shaped bow. The black mist condensed into a massive arrow, shooting downwards.

Sun Yang's rocket launcher successfully shattered part of the tower, destroying the brick wall and the armor along with it. However, too many armors gathered from the tower, and at the same time, dozens of arrows like short spears flew towards Rukatiye.

Rukatiye struggled to activate the jetpack again, trying to dodge the fire from the armored soldiers. A barrage of arrows followed Rukatiye.

"Drop the transmitter! Meet me!" Sun Yang drove the power suit towards Rukatiye. Rukatiye immediately threw the heavy transmitter to the ground and lunged forward.
