I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

But whether they were fleeing or doing other things, those groups of people would quickly die collectively after turning a corner after losing the sight of the main force. They were hit by a fatal bullet in the head and chest, but they could not see the attacker at all.

Although those were just puppets prepared by the AR team, waiting in wait in various important corridors, the humanoid puppets, after several iterations, also possessed invisibility, long endurance, and relatively accurate shooting capabilities.

The people in Gunners Square were in chaos. The lower-level soldiers were terrified, and the middle-level officers used torture to force these soldiers to maintain basic order. The higher-level personnel still had no idea what kind of enemy they were facing.

It felt like a Stalker, but they had seen Stalkers before and had killed a few before. The enemies they had encountered so far were clearly much stronger than Stalkers.

While these senior executives were still at a loss, the reunited AR team launched a final attack on the Gunners' headquarters.

That night, the AR team, each with their own puppet, entered stealth mode and infiltrated from the perimeter. Gunner Square had previously belonged to GNN, a large media organization before the war. The building was large, and the Gunners had established their headquarters there because of its comprehensive communications system and spare parts.

In the Gunners' future blueprint, all information on the wasteland will gradually expand as the Gunners develop outposts and occupy companies. They will compile this useful information and screen out potential customers who may bring them orders and potential enemies.

But now, this dream is about to be shattered.

The soldiers in Gunner Square had already shut down the mechanical units and removed their batteries. After learning of the tragic deaths of personnel at other sites, they no longer trusted these robots. Anyway, this was where nearly all the local gunners were gathered, so there were more than enough manpower.

The searchlights shone all around at night, and the gunmen stationed near the lights could only curse in low voices while trying their best to avoid being illuminated by the searchlights.

But with the whistling sound of bullets, the searchlights that illuminated the surroundings like daylight were simultaneously shattered. Along with the searchlights, the heads of the sentry gunners who thought they were well hidden were also shattered. The specially designed high-velocity bullets easily penetrated their helmets, which they thought were so safe.

The sentries rolled down the platform and fell heavily to the ground, causing the surviving gunmen nearby to exclaim in surprise.

The five humanoids, each with their own puppets, attacked from all directions. This time, no gunman would escape alive.

The moment the searchlight was extinguished, the surviving gunmen quickly crouched down and shouted loudly to the interior of the headquarters. Soon, flares were fired into the sky one after another. The gunmen did not have any useful night vision goggles, and only by maintaining the light could they find the enemy.

Some brave gunmen tried to look out or use mirrors or something like that from behind their cover, but without exception, they found nothing.

All they could hear was the undisguised, chaotic sound of footsteps, and the gunmen could only see the empty defense line in front of them through the gaps or reflections in the mirrors.

The next second, those peeping outside were shot in the head. M4 had already run behind these people, and she and Gui opened fire repeatedly. The silenced bullets penetrated the heads of these defenders and hit the metal wall with a crisp clang.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Someone shouted, and the middle-level officers were about to stand up and shoot those who were shaking the morale of the army, but then they were shot through the throat by several accurate bullets.

The gunmen on the periphery, chased by the invisible god of death behind them, tumbled and crawled into the GNN headquarters. On their escape route, people were shot and fell to the ground every moment.

278 The Fall of the Gunmen

The fortress was surrounded by the reapers. The officers in power armor stepped forward, having immediately realized after the battle that the enemy was using stealth technology. It was just that their combat power was too strong and their deception was too fast, which prevented these elite gunners from understanding their specific technology.

Some of the precious EMP grenades and scanning devices collected by the gunmen were activated, and the AR team immediately sensed the powerful scanning radar nearby.

[Strong attack! Strong attack!] M4 quickly changed her battle strategy. She fired bursts of fire at the EMP grenades thrown into the air, exploding them all. Her puppet, emerging from its invisibility, raised the Jupiter cannon from its waist and fired at the newly assembled power armors.

Even after traveling to several different worlds, the Jupiter Cannon has always been quite reliable as close-range support firepower.

Although it has not been fully deployed on humanoids due to its complex structure, difficulty in replenishing ammunition, short killing range, and excessive size, in most cases, this Jupiter cannon can deal with close-range armored units.

The metal jets ejected from the four Jupiter cannons instantly vaporized these ungrateful gunmen. Those who hadn't had time to dodge were also affected, directly pierced by the jets, and turned into sieves spewing blood.

The nuclear fusion core shattered by the metal jet immediately triggered a second round of explosions, and several small radial flames sprayed towards the center of the GNN.

The surviving gunmen around immediately ran away howling, their bodies already burned by the high heat generated by the core explosion.

But the puppets ignored the high heat and nuclear radiation at close range. They rushed in quickly and fired at the fleeing gunmen.

The elite gunmen ambushed throughout the building also opened fire, using anti-material rifles, heavy laser machine guns, and plasma launchers to pour fire on the puppets.

The puppet's stance shield blocked the initial wave of attacks, and red and blue lasers, plasma jets and bullets splashed on it, creating ripples.

The puppets scattered around at a speed unbelievable to the gunmen, while the M4 itself climbed along the outside of the wall and reached the upper level where people were stationed in just a few seconds.

She tore open the iron plate that sealed the door and jumped in. Although she was quite quick to fire several shots at the torn open window, they only created ripples on the shield.

M4's main body immediately fought back. She pulled the trigger of the Jupiter Cannon several times in such a narrow space. The dangerous metal jet flew wantonly in the corridor, tearing all the flesh and blood bodies along the way into pieces.

At the same time, she was also controlling her four puppets to pour Jupiter cannon and assault rifle ammunition towards all the surrounding enemies and possible firing points. Those buildings and floors that had survived two hundred years were easily shattered by the firepower of the Jupiter cannon.

The corridor on the second floor collapsed, and the old furniture and pre-arranged supplies and ammunition inside fell to the ground.

The situation in other directions was similar. This GNN had been completely surrounded by humanoids, and the defenders inside were sending reinforcements in all directions.

Finally, when M4, the gunners, and the building were demolished, several soldiers in power armor carrying rocket launchers and Fat Man nuclear bombs emerged from the depths of the corridor. Without hesitation, they fired a barrage of rockets at M4 and her puppet.

Although the humanoids all have the unique skill of humanoid ADS, that is ultimately to shoot down thrown grenades, and does not include intercepting rockets and Fat Man nuclear bombs.

This tactic was completely effective. Although M4 had her puppet evade quickly, trying to find cover or hide, this was an indoor environment after all, with no spacious or sturdy places for people to hide. The dense barrage of rockets shattered the cover M4 had found, along with her puppet.

The two Fat Man nuclear bombs that followed directly melted the puppets, leaving M4 no chance to even recover its ammunition.

Fortunately, the humanoids had already improved their nuclear fusion cores to be safer, so they couldn't be detonated by outsiders without using special detonation methods. Otherwise, if these four cores exploded again, the building might collapse directly.

Because M4 was standing on the second floor and at the farthest point, she found a relatively solid ruin wall in time and hid inside.

The rockets and Fat Man nukes didn't affect her much, as humanoids are quite resistant to splash damage. It was just that M4's cloaking module was temporarily down.

"There should be another one nearby. Find him!" roared the gunmen, armed with heavy firepower and equipment. The M4 reloaded its ammunition and then darted out of the ruins, aiming at the gunmen who were reloading several hundred meters away.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The high-speed bullets from the assault rifles cut through the air and accurately hit the warheads of the rockets and Fat Man nuclear bombs that had not yet been launched.

The fuses activated instantly. Rockets and Fat Man nukes detonated directly over their shoulders, blasting the corridor through. Metal debris and dust carried by the shockwave even reached the area surrounding the M4. The explosion shook the entire GNN building, cracks appearing on the surrounding walls.

These elite teams equipped with heavy firepower were directly wiped out, leaving no survivors at the scene. Only some burnt flesh and blood marks were left stuck to some metal fragments.

The other members of the AR team also suffered losses to varying degrees, but the main body was basically unharmed.

The dolls rushed all the way to the central office of GNN. They cooperated with each other, killed the last batch of guards, and finally arrived at the core studio area.

The studio door was closed and locked. Although it was meticulously crafted and made of high-quality materials, it was ultimately just a reinforced, fairly heavy metal door. Trying to slow down the humanoid's attack by locking the door was ridiculous.

Relying on the humanoids' superb senses, they could tell that the higher-ups were all holed up inside, daring not to venture out. However, even if they dared not venture out, there was still a lot of heavy firepower inside, practically one for each person. They also had scanning equipment that could constantly monitor the humanoids' positions.

[There's quite a bit of heavy firepower in there. How do I make an M4?] AR15 asked.

"The walls of this room aren't very thick. We're strong enough to knock them down, but I think we need a positive, attractive point." M4 said after assessing the situation.

"Let me do it," AR15 said without hesitation. She asked the others to stand nearby and get ready while she found a fire axe nearby.

AR15 swung the axe and chopped hard at the metal door.

"Bang!!" The fire axe was able to withstand the force of the human figure and did not collapse on the spot. The axe head of the fire axe only chopped a huge metal crack on the door.

“NOOO!!” “I don’t want to die yet!!” “No!!!!” “Stop hitting me!! Please!!”

Screams and the sounds of people moving around came from the room. But no matter what, the people inside were ready to fight.

"Bang!" AR15 swung her axe several times, finally creating a fairly large opening. Leaning in to take a look, she saw over twenty men and women inside, dressed in clean clothes and power armor, looking like high-ranking officials or personal guards.

Many of the higher-ups, even wearing power armor, were still crouching behind cover. They were afraid of exposing themselves to bullets, so they all crouched behind cover, hoping to avoid getting shot.

These people were so scared that they stayed as far away from the door as possible, and even huddled against the wall, as if only a solid wall behind them could make them feel at ease.

"HERE'S AR15~" AR15 leaned over and took a look inside.

In an instant, lasers, plasma, and large-caliber metal bullets all flew towards the AR15 at the door. However, she rolled on the ground, avoiding these dangerous attacks without even breaking her shield.

The remaining AR team members immediately rushed towards the walls surrounding the room, smashing through the thick outer wall and punching several people squatting against it.

Those half-crouching power armors are very suitable, and this height is just enough for the humanoid to punch on the head.

The armor can barely withstand a full-strength blow from the humanoid, but the neck of the person inside can't.

A massive impact erupted from the tops of these men's heads. The helmets of the power armor were a bit shorter, and the necks of the men inside were also shortened, instantly rendering them incapable of combat. Even those who survived were not far from death.

Some of these high-ranking officials immediately launched a counterattack, while others quickly dropped their weapons and prepared to surrender.

But the humanoids did not accept any form of surrender. The weapons in their hands quickly penetrated the enemy's armor and completely wiped out the last few federal gunmen who still had some prestige.

At this point, the Gunmen organization could be declared destroyed. Even if there were any survivors, they would not try to rebuild it. At most, they would disappear for a while, change their name, and establish a small base.

The people of Boston would soon learn that a terrifying and mysterious military force had wiped out the gunmen, and the gunmen who escaped would exaggerate and spread the news about the enemies they encountered.

At least for a period of time, no one will dare to do things under the banner of a gunman, and those rich and powerful people will not dare to hire those former gunmen to avoid suspicion.

"That's it. Whew, I didn't realize they had so much firepower." The M4 circled the entire Gunner Square and returned to the studio. The AR team was there performing post-battle maintenance.

The humanoids attacking from other directions also suffered various kinds of damage, and only three or four of the five-man team were still functioning normally. The others were shattered by Fat Man's nuclear bombs and rockets.

Although the original material of the body has been replaced by Saturn alloy and a high-tech power suit has been added, it can only defend against individual light weapons.

Heavy machine guns and armor-piercing rounds were no longer effective against humanoids, but the bazookas and corresponding rockets used by the humans here were developed to counter enemy tanks during the Sino-American War. In an outdoor environment, the humanoids had at least twenty ways to render those rockets ineffective, or even prevent them from reaching them at all.

But indoors, their options were limited. In cramped conditions, it was a pure test of firepower and protection; whoever delivered the most firepower and landed the first hit would survive. M4 hadn't anticipated the day they'd find themselves struggling with the intensity of urban combat. Urban combat was generally Griffin's forte, after all, both the military and the Parasitic, with their conventional infantry units being quite vulnerable to humanoids.

Only some of Paratis' elite units could still hold their own, but now thinking about it, M4 felt that if they had the current physical strength and firepower, they could kill one of them in less than a minute if they all worked together.

The rocket warheads loaded in those bazookas also come in high-explosive or armor-piercing types...but honestly, there's no need to differentiate them so finely. If they really hit the humanoid body, the damage will be excess.

Humanoids can't really stack themselves up like main battle tanks. Their size is there, so they can't be too big. They can't go out with a blast shield as thick as the front of a main battle tank, right? A 500mm thick blast shield?

Not to mention that it's unbearable to carry, carrying this thing is impossible to get anywhere, and walking on some weak roads might cause a landslide. Some buildings aren't designed to accommodate 300 kilograms of human movement. Of course, except for pre-war America, after all, there were so many fat guys.

This is essentially the upper limit of what humanoids can currently achieve. Their various indicators are already much stronger than before. If they want to become even stronger, they will have to consider abandoning the small size of humanoids and integrating their mind clouds into armored units.

"After all, they're the strongest mercenary force in this area. I should be thankful that most of them are energy weapon enthusiasts and aren't equipped with so many Fat Man nukes, missile launchers, and bazookas. If these elite troops were all carrying heavy firepower, I doubt we'd be able to complete this mission alive." Brother 16 checked his assault rifle.

"However, using large numbers of rockets in such a confined environment is inherently dangerous. We can't apply our safety standards to these humans. M4, we're running low on equipment after this battle. We need to request a resupply from the commander. Also, we need to know what our next mission is." RO said to M4.

[I'm asking.] M4 stepped on a corpse with its head blown off and called Sun Yang. Soon, Sun Yang picked up the call.

[Hello? M4?] Sun Yang's holographic image appeared before M4. He seemed to be standing next to a large well as sweet as honey, while the blonde female knight swung a hammer and hammered in nails.

"Is it inconvenient for you right now? I see you're outside, isn't it crowded?" M4 felt a bit upset when she saw the Rukatiye, but she quickly calmed down. Regardless, the mission was crucial.

[Convenient. We're just empty friends, after all.] Sun Yang had already given up. [How's the situation over there? Do you need support? Or do you miss me?]

"I miss you so much. I've been wondering when we can live together. Yang, when can you be transferred to Griffin Base? It's not safe for you to be out there alone." M4 said seriously.

RO and Brother 16 showed disgusted expressions, and even Gou Zi was speechless.

"Such a disgusting T-doll is actually my captain. This is really bad luck." AR15 couldn't help but complain beside him.

"If I could do it, I would have done it earlier. Right now, I'm busy here too, and I'd like to find a chance to spend time with you guys, but not right now." Sun Yang shook his head.

"Can I ask why?" M4 asked.

"I'm looking for a very powerful magic master here, and I personally hope to find him as soon as possible." Sun Yang chose his words carefully.

Behind him, Rukatiye had already hammered dozens of huge rock pitons, but she was not very experienced and would hit her fingers every now and then.

Rukatiye looked silently at his smashed thumb, drank a sip from the element bottle and continued knocking.

Trying hard to ignore the strange scenery behind Sun Yang, M4 continued, "Will you wait until you find that great wizard before coming here? Or do you have other problems that need to be solved?"

[Rukatiye——] Before Sun Yang finished speaking, a wave of manic emotion came over M4's heart.

[Her again? Ever since she came here, you've been spending so much time on her... Yang, I feel like you're a little biased...] M4 tried hard to suppress her emotions.

"She's under a fatal curse. Since I've recruited her, it's my job to resolve it. Even without her, I'd need to find the archmage before I can come find you," Sun Yang said frankly.

"I understand. I just can't control my emotions. I want to believe she's a reliable comrade, I just need time to adapt. Anyway, we've already taken out the gunman. Our mechas are mostly intact, but we're running low on golems. We need supplies before launching a new offensive," M4 reported.

"Oh my goodness, she's finally getting down to business!" RO muttered from a distance. However, M4 ignored him, waiting for Sun Yang's next instructions.

"I'll have the humanoids stationed in the Great Mountains transport supplies. They won't be very fast, though. As you know, the teleporter has a range limit. Your next mission is to monitor the movements of the Volunteers and the Brotherhood of Steel as much as possible. Honestly, monitoring the Academy and the Railway is too much for you. I'll plan the next steps based on the clues you provide regarding the Champions League," Sun Yang said.

"I understand. But honestly, we and the Rebellious Squad alone can't recover much technology. We're a bit short on manpower and manpower." M4 explained to Sun Yang the inventory levels within the numerous technology buildings they'd marked.

"I'll send reinforcements to assist in the battle. Yes, but leaving it alone isn't a good idea. I can only promise to go over once I'm almost done here," Sun Yang said.

"I hope so. But can I ask how long you'll be working on this? I'll be more prepared." M4 wanted to know in detail.

"Simply put, I need to challenge four giants. And there are many things I need to do along the way," Sun Yang said as he walked into the room. He had some things he couldn't let anyone know. "I've already challenged two. I need to defeat four more giants before I can find the great magician. He's a master of time and space, and I must find him."

"I don't quite understand, but I understand. I'll wait for your Yang." M4 exchanged a few more pleasantries before sighing softly. She picked up her assault rifle again, called her teammates, gathered some supplies, and then left the already shaky building on the verge of collapse.

Just as M4 guessed, the Boston area fell into a state of danger for a period of time.

Apart from the plunderers and super mutants who were desperate to expand their territory, all the forces in Boston sent out a large number of scouts and patrol teams to patrol their own territories, for fear of being ambushed by that mysterious force.

Everyone tried to gather their core personnel and military forces as much as possible, but those poorly informed plunderers and scavengers who could not survive without scavenging remained as usual.

279 East Coast's Assessment of the Situation

All the smart people were watching cautiously. Indeed, many people were planning to leave Boston, but those who had been recuperating and cultivating the land here for a long time were not willing to leave so easily.

Normally, this would be the time for the Volunteers to step up and take action. The Gunslingers, the Volunteers' greatest and most formidable enemy, had been eliminated, and the residents of the Federation were in desperate need of protection. Whether it was true or not, taking advantage of this opportunity to expand outward and win over more of the wasteland's inhabitants was the right choice.

But the militia, having been suppressed for so long, had lost all will to fight. Since their main base was destroyed, these literal stragglers had scattered throughout Boston.

Some barely maintained the code of conduct as volunteers, diligently managing their own territory, while others simply used this as a banner to exploit the residents under their command, or even became traitors, attracting outside predators to kill their companions. This also sometimes made the reputation of the volunteers not very good.
