I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

"What's the big deal? Have you forgotten that I was able to pull out the sword by myself after it pierced my chest? A normal human would have died long ago. I just need to drink a sip of the element bottle." Rukatiye retorted.

"Forget it, keep your element bottle. I'll carry you down and jump. Come on, get up quickly." Sun Yang looked at the platform built layer by layer by the drone. He first released the control to fall, then bent down and motioned Rukatiye to come up.

"My equipment is not light." Although Rukatiye said this, he jumped onto Sun Yang's back without any hesitation.

"It's not a big deal, actually. I rely on the power suit for support, so I don't need to expend too much effort. With this convenient equipment, I don't have to rush to enhance my strength, agility and stamina, and I can use my soul to strengthen other parts of my body." Sun Yang explained directly.

He fell down the stairs bit by bit. Every time he fell, Sun Yang's heartbeat would accelerate wildly, and a feeling of fear would surge in the back of his head. The human body instinctively began to alarm, telling Sun Yang that he was doing something stupid.

The fear that came from the human body instinctively made Sun Yang feel a little uncomfortable, but he could only adapt to it. He would have to do many more exaggerated things in the future, but he had not yet completely adjusted himself to the mentality of a superman.

"Why don't I feel much enhancement? Isn't this also the 'power suit' I'm wearing?" Rukatiye lay on Sun Yang's back, illuminating the room with the lamp in her hand.

"Because your strength has exceeded the output that the power suit can provide. Hey, you have been hanging out with powerful guys for too long and have forgotten what normal people are like?" Sun Yang said.

"Sun Yang, there are many people who possess powerful strength even if they are not immortal. Absorbing souls to strengthen oneself only shortens the process, or takes a shortcut." Rukatiya corrected.

"I really can't talk to you about this anymore..." Sun Yang didn't intend to dwell too much on the weird details of this world.

After jumping on the platform for a long time, Sun Yang and Rukatiye finally reached the bottom of the cave. As they approached the cave, Rukatiye frowned.

"It smells a bit off," she pointed toward the cave's exit. "Are we already under the ocean?"

"I can't say." Sun Yang didn't know what rules governed the geography of this world. The topography of the Black Mist Tower alone defied his limited geographical knowledge.

After exiting the cave, Sun Yang and Rukatiye arrived at a vast underground world. Their headlamps and flashlights pierced the dim area, where only a few torches could be vaguely seen turning in the darkness.

Sun Yang quickly turned off Rukatiye and his own flashlight. Turning on the flashlight here was tantamount to seeking death.

"Night vision goggles, take them." Sun Yang took out two telescope-like things from his pocket as if it were a magic weapon.

"You are just a top student in magic with a serious imbalance in one subject." Rukatiye looked at the scene in front of him for a long time before speaking hesitantly.

"I seem to have read this description in a book before: deep underground, there is a group of people who have lived underground for generations. Although they have adapted to the dim environment, they still need a little firelight to survive."

"There are many passages leading from the surface deep underground, and these passages all lead to an extremely vast underground world. No one knows why this space was formed, but only its name has been passed down."

"Abandoned Abyss."

281 The Past of the Abandoned Abyss

"Didn't your book mention how dangerous the Wasted Abyss is?" Sun Yang pulled out a telescope and peered inside. "Also, have you noticed that we haven't encountered space-time turbulence in a long time? Don't you find it strange?"

"Maybe the space-time near Rumi is very stable. You know, within a sphere-like range." Rukatiye put forward her hypothesis indifferently.

Is there something like a royal weapon under the honey that stabilizes time and space? Sun Yang couldn't say.

"I mean, if we go any further, we might lose sight of each other due to the turmoil in time and space, and we won't be able to support each other. You might be trapped here."

"It's okay, I can go back using a bone fragment. Or we can do it the old way, you take me and I take you." After breathing for a while, Rukatiye gradually adapted to the air here.

Sun Yang has not browsed the books of this world in detail. Although his humanoids have helped to collect them and many people have borrowed and browsed them, he himself really has no interest in reading books from the Dark Souls world.

"Rukatiya, isn't there this kind of space-time turbulence in your hometown?" Sun Yang looked down, intending to find a suitable place to stay.

Or could he just fly over there? Sun Yang searched his memory. If he had to say anything special, it would probably be that there was a hidden Javier Armor and a dark old man here.

After Sun Yang had passed through the Ancient Dark Cave three times, the dark old man would teach him his most powerful dark technique: Hyperactivity. This was a dangerous spell that actually transformed all the temporarily stored souls in the body into soul bombs and fired them out.

But to be honest, Sun Yang was a little worried about whether he could learn well. He wondered if he should wait for Strider to come back and talk to him for advice. After all, when it came to who had the highest attainments and who knew the most, it still had to be Strider.

Although Sun Yang used to occasionally complain about Strider, calling him a bad guy who played with souls, but when you think about it carefully, in the process of Dark Souls 2, the protagonist defeats the boss and then uses the boss's soul to craft spells or weapons.

Thinking of this, Sun Yang's moral standards lowered a little. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to be more flexible in your moral bottom line, at least psychologically.

"Sun Yang? What are you staring at?" Rukatiye nudged the distracted Sun Yang. "I told you there's no more trouble at home. Why are you so quiet after hearing that? Are you just hoping for me to be well?"

"No, I was just a little distracted. But it shouldn't be because of the problem of zombie transformation. I still have quite a lot of souls." Sun Yang rubbed his eyes.

"So, what are your plans? I'm not opposed to adventure, but you seem to be afraid of heights," said Rukatiye.

"That's the normal physiological reaction of a human being." Sun Yang argued.

"I admit that your desires are still intact. You need to eat, sleep, entertain yourself, and have sex with your puppets in bed. Your life is richer than when I was in the legion." Rukatiye responded bluntly.

Sun Yang stopped bantering with Rukatiye. He and Rukatiye quickly decided on a plan of action: if neither side could find the other, Rukatiye would draw the summoning symbol first, and the two sides would push each other forward.

The Abandoned Abyss, this vast underground space perhaps holds the discarded possessions of the entire world. On its walls, one can see flowing mud and the garbage spewing out of it.

The residents here rely on crops and animals that can grow in a lightless environment for food. Occasionally, good things will burst out from the mud, making life here a little more comfortable.

The entire Abyss resembled a loft in the sky, built over hundreds of years using wood. Various wooden planks were placed across the vast height difference, forcibly creating an area for people to move around.

Sculptures of human heads were placed everywhere in the Abyss. This seemed to be a unique funeral custom, but the two were not very clear about how it was done.

Deeper in the cave, one could see massive stone walls and ruins. One wondered how long these structures had survived in this miasma-filled world. In the distance, houses could be seen, built around pillars like an ant nest. At the bottom, sewage could be seen, along with a sparse crowd of people.

Sun Yang and Rukatie didn't plan to spend much time here. After arriving at the area where the space-time turbulence began, Rukatie immediately transformed into a spirit and continued to move forward with Sun Yang.

"I think it's best not to disturb the residents of the Abandoned Abyss. They don't seem to have transformed into zombies," Rukatiye pointed at the emaciated figures holding torches in the distance, "but they definitely don't welcome outsiders. This place is more closed off than the most closed village, and they might even treat us as monsters."

"I just want to find the treasure here and then leave quickly. And I don't care much about what these residents think. Are you the kind of person who thinks that everyone is worthy of respect and everything must be negotiated?" Sun Yang took out a manned drone and prepared to let this drone, which is bigger than a human, take him away.

"Anyone who holds such an opinion is long dead. Miller doesn't allow such a weakling to join the army," Rukatiye shook his head. "Besides, such a person wouldn't be able to survive here. If you want to stick to your principles, you have to be strong enough. But who can stick to their principles while becoming stronger?"

The drone flew along the abyss for a long time, and a lot of messy things came out from the pile of haphazardly stacked wooden shelves.

Those things that looked more like humans were roaring at each other, speaking a language that Sun Yang couldn't understand. He really didn't know how they found their way through that three-dimensional maze and even managed to get out and look around.

To be honest, Sun Yang would rather burn down this massive wooden maze than explore it. He might even earn tens of thousands of soul points.

Relying on the drone's wide-area reconnaissance capabilities, Sun Yang quickly found a secret room. After using a bomb to blow open the magically protected stone door, Sun Yang found a complete set of extremely heavy armor.

"Oh... my God, did you see that?" Sun Yang carefully took out the armor made of metal chains and hard rocks. "This damn weight! This must be Javier's armor made by the Age of Gods! I've wanted to have a set of Javier armor for a long time!"

"You know that Javier has many warrior believers, right? This set of armor is obviously only owned by one of the believers. How could the legendary Javier's armor be placed here? That kind of thing should be placed in the palace of God at least, instead of hiding it in a dirty hole." Rukatiye was completely unmoved.

"Rukatiye, Havel's followers have existed for a long time, and even if it was imitated by the followers, as long as it was made in ancient times, the defensive performance must be equally excellent! Think about it, if you are a Havel's follower, you go out on the street, and others say that your armor is just a paper shell that can't block anything. You wear this kind of rubbish armor and still have the nerve to say that you are Havel's follower and believer?" Sun Yang said while holding the armor.

"Ah... I don't know much about faith. If you meet a Froza person, he will definitely tell you something. Forget about me, I'm just a female knight." Rukatiye tilted her head. She didn't quite understand why Sun Yang suddenly became so excited and a little perverted.

"In short, you must not allow this kind of thing to happen. You can't affect Javier's reputation because your armor is too broken. You must know that those who can follow Javier are the toughest warriors, and their armor must be the toughest of the same period, otherwise they cannot be called Javier warriors." Sun Yang stroked the armor with a very perverted smile.

"You act like you've found the most powerful armor in the world," Rukatiye said.

"This is the most powerful armor in the world. I mean, the most powerful armor in the land of Dolan Gureg. Let me tell you, even your old clothes, even if they were strengthened to the maximum level with cuneiform stone, wouldn't be as strong as this armor."

"That's light armor for traveling. And you can't wear it at all, this armor is too heavy. Also, I think its weight doesn't match its defensive power. Anyone wearing it can't even catch a rabbit. Humans wearing armor have to face human-like opponents, and excessively strong defensive capabilities will have no effect on us. Are you going to wear this equipment to block the attack of the giant?" Rukatiye commented sharply.

"Why do you always say something very common-sense? Rukatiye, if this armor can withstand lasers, plasma beams, and even mortars, this armor is worth it! I may not be hit by the giant, but I will most likely take a mortar hit." Sun Yang had deep doubts about his dodging ability.

"Mortar? What is that? You may need to describe it in words I can understand." Rukatiye said he didn't understand.

"Well, it's like a giant taking a pointed iron rod and pounding it towards the stomach with all his strength. The speed is probably twenty times that of a bow and arrow?" Sun Yang described it.

"Then what you need is to enhance your speed and reaction ability so that you can quickly avoid the attack of the crossbow. Or you can turn yourself into a dragoon, or as tall as King Pancrad, so that you can wear thick enough armor. It is impossible for a person to be short, strong and indestructible." Rukatiye still shook his head.

"Unfortunately, I'm sure I can't react that quickly. You can say whatever you want, I'll stack my armor. I have to let my girls see how well this armor can withstand the elements." Sun Yang directly sent the Javier Armor to the base. This armor obviously had powerful magical power, and he consumed some mana and soul when sending it over.

"I don't have any use for it anyway, so just take it when you come to my world." Rukatiye was very generous.

"Thank you so much, Rukatiye." After packing up, Sun Yang boarded the drone and headed deeper. They followed the walls of the Abyss, searching for a path down. At the very bottom, beneath the countless wooden supports, lay a churning lake of mud. Hundreds of bizarre creatures farmed and grazed around the lake, eking out a living by the water extracted from the mud.

"Have we reached the bottom floor? But I think Azra might be here?" Rukatiye said while hanging on the drone.

"Have you ever thought about where those whirlpools lead to? If I'm not mistaken, one of the four giants should be hidden here." Sun Yang threw the drone again and pointed to a deeper place.

"Do we need to go deeper? I think it's a bit dangerous to jump into this vortex." Rukatiye held the drone's arm tightly.

"Not really, but the terrain down here is a bit too complicated. There are dozens of cave entrances in places with a height difference of several thousand meters. I don't know who dug the passages on the ground and walls. They are crooked and can lead to other holes."

"If you really go deep, you'll find caves within caves, with caves within caves. If you're an unskilled explorer, you'll probably never get back to the surface. Luckily, I have terrain processing software."

Sun Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He and Rukatiye had to spend a long time exploring here.

***

On the other side, in the main base of the KENSHI world, the Oasis Research Department, which had recovered the Javier armor, was carrying this strange armor to the weapons laboratory.

Since the commander said to just shoot at will and throw away if they break, then they might as well bring out some experimental weapons.

Although the intelligent entities and humanoids in Oasis didn't know why the professor brought a heavy suit of armor as a target, since the order was harmless, they just did it.

A beautiful figure with a tired face and gray hair walked out of the laboratory. When she saw the armor made of stone and iron chains, she showed a disdainful expression.

"Has the professor finally become a zombie? Giving us some artifacts to play with?" Crouch touched Javier's armor, feeling it was just ordinary stone. "I'll call the professor before he really loses his mind. Hello? Professor?"

Sun Yang found a place and started deploying drones. When he saw someone calling, he answered the phone immediately.

[Ah, Crouch. What's going on?] Sun Yang sat cross-legged, rubbing his eyes, carefully observing the terrain as the drone flew over the deep canyon.

Honestly, Black Creek Valley is a pretty unrecognizable place. I wonder how long it'll take to find it. Damn, Andil isn't someone you can just shout at, so I'll just have to follow the process and kill the four giants.

"This set of armor looks, well, very exquisite. It's a work of art, right? Are you sure you want to destroy it?" Croce said with concern while operating the detection equipment to scan Javier's armor up and down.

"Well, if it can't even withstand a close-range mortar, there's no point in keeping it." Sun Yang was hard-hearted. Although he trusted the strength of Javier's suit, it was ultimately a life-saving device.

"Professor, why would you consider taking on a mortar at close range?" Crouch asked the same question as Rukatiye. "We would definitely stand in front of you to help you block the shells."

"Kroki, you don't understand," Sun Yang said in a pretentious tone. "Have you ever considered, even for a second, this scenario: When the opponent has their most powerful weapon, fully charged, ready to kill you, you stand up, fully buffed, and take the blow, calmly protecting the people behind you?"

"I used to do this kind of thing often when I was still in the server. What's wrong?" Kroki was confused.

“To be honest, I’m very touched.” Sun Yang nodded and said.

"Tsk, ahem, professor, flattery is useless. Stop the sweet talk." Crochet pursed his lips unnaturally. "Talk about something serious."

"I'm really touched by this, this romance of being able to take all the damage. I've always wanted to be a heavily armored mage, clad in heavy armor and blasting enemies head-on with all sorts of spells. I really want to absorb the enemy's firepower at close range and then directly counterattack. Of course, in layman's terms, I think it's necessary to plan for the worst-case scenario, and the thicker the armor, the better." Sun Yang said this with a serious expression.

"Oh, is that so? Professor, aren't you very afraid of death? I saw you were giving commands remotely all day long when you were active in the Fallout world, and you didn't show up in the front and take the bullets." Kroki's expression changed in an instant, and he straightened his face.

"That's because I had too little HP back then, wasn't tough enough, and couldn't withstand a beating. Now I've gradually become tougher, and I can realize my dream. You see, fear of death and a desire to show off don't conflict," Sun Yang explained.

"One avoids risks, the other ignores risks, how can they be considered non-conflicting? I don't understand you humans. Well, forget it. Anyway, from my professional evaluation, this armor is considered a relatively good armor? But it can only withstand the level of machine guns. A shell will definitely shatter it." Crochi showed Sun Yang a report that he could not understand at all.

282 Armor Test

If Strider were here, he'd probably be able to offer some magical advice. Ugh, I need to hire more magical advisors.] Sun Yang scratched his head.

"We can't do that. Strider has taught us many times, but we don't have physical bodies and can't 'sense' magical power." Crochet shrugged.

"It doesn't matter, just bomb it and it's done. If you have experimental weapons, just bomb them directly. If they don't break, use some repair powder." Sun Yang was not polite to this armor.

"Repair the light powder...that thing will roll back my data records. Forget it, I'll just wear a pair of gloves." Kroki agreed to Sun Yang's request and conscientiously told other scientific research departments to take out the weapons that needed to be tested and prepare to shoot at this unprepossessing armor.

Several intelligent bodies around who had been studying with Crochet for a long time took quick action. After such a long period of training, the intelligent bodies of Oasis did not learn anything else, but their ability to modify and upgrade new equipment has improved a lot.

Because Sun Yang is always running back and forth to other worlds, and always wants to change whatever he sees, the scientific research process of Oasis is like a super patchwork.

Initially, the humanoids were still trying to figure out how to reverse-engineer the electromagnetic rifle, and were trying to iterate Sangvishes' weapons to make them at least usable.

But after Sun Yang ran through several worlds, the humanoids in the Oasis painfully discovered that their professor could get back a lot of precious scientific research data and samples just by running errands and robbing.

Painful climbing of the technology tree? No such thing. Sun Yang simply placed the results in front of him, then asked the humanoids to input the data and then analyze it.

Compared to scientific research that requires inspiration, humanoids are much faster at analyzing data, dozens of times more efficient than humans. However, this also means that other than the information contained in the data, humanoids have no knowledge of the development of weapons in the past or future.

Asking the humanoid to work backwards was too difficult for both of them. So after much deliberation and compromise, Oasis's chief military designer, Kroki, decisively launched a plan called "Greenskin Plan."

The plan didn't require any complexities; it simply aimed to embed the isolated high-tech sample Sun Yang had retrieved into the existing military system as much as possible, while also addressing the product's shortcomings as much as possible to improve combat efficiency.

The humanoids couldn't create heavy laser and plasma projectors from scratch; neither Griffin nor Oasis had the necessary technology. Creating them required a lot of tinkering, activating the necessary technologies one by one.

The existence of Sun Yang allows the humanoids to overtake others directly, but it also makes their technology tree very incomplete.

Although Kroki felt that this approach would definitely not work, Sun Yang was picking up technology too quickly, so Kroki could only give up and not replenish the technology tree, but instead try his best to upgrade the equipment on hand.

Although the research and development capabilities of the humanoids from scratch are ridiculously weak, it is still no problem to create one. They can also do analysis and improvement.

Fortunately, there are only a few hundred Griffin dolls in total, otherwise updating the standard weapons every once in a while would definitely cause huge production efficiency accidents and produce a large amount of unprocessable munitions.

Now, the scientific research dolls have finally caught up with the technology tree that Sun Yang forcibly pulled up with technology, and have made some new achievements.

"Kroki, we have found all the equipment we have made recently." Several intelligent bodies who worked with Kroki came in pushing carts.

"Well, electromagnetic weapons, plasma weapons, laser weapons. Max finally figured out how to miniaturize this coil?" Crochet took down a prototype weapon.

"Electromagnetic assault rifles and electromagnetic machine guns. The armor-piercing performance and firepower sustainability of the ammunition have been greatly improved."

"Do we still need live-ammunition machine guns? Heavy plasma weapons and heavy laser weapons are enough." Crocchi looked at the large live-ammunition machine gun on display.
