I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

Rukatiye recited the Miller Knights' farewell song for their comrades, waiting for the flames to consume the bodies. Then she took a handful of ashes and sealed them in a small box.

She dug a large pit next to the hut and placed the box and Azratiya's full suit of armor in it. She left no tombstone, as no one but herself would come to pay respects, and leaving a tombstone would be more likely to attract thieves.

Rukatiye left the old sword behind. In her words, weapons should accompany their owners while they are still alive, not buried.

As she said this, she held a large sword in each hand. Although one of them was old, it still showed signs of careful maintenance. The other was relatively new and stained with blood.

Rukatiye sheathed his two greatswords, hanging them on either side of his waist. He spoke slowly, "Ha... This isn't the ending I wanted. My brother and I have lived together for a long time. I don't remember much about my parents. My brother raised me. Now, I've killed him eight times with my own hands."

"Rukatiye——" Sun Yang's words were immediately interrupted by Rukatiye.

"No, no, you don't have to say anything comforting. Like I said before, this is actually my private matter. It's too much to trouble you so many times for my private matter. I... owe you a lot." Rukatiye looked quietly at the place where the flames burned out.

"I have nowhere else to go. My home and family are all gone. So... I don't think I need to cheer up. I don't have any attachment to this world anymore." Rukatiye turned around and looked at Sun Yang, who was hesitant to speak.

"You say that as if you're going to commit suicide." Sun Yang frowned.

"Well... more or less. After becoming an undead, my emotional fluctuations have become much more suppressed. Seriously, if you still need my assistance, I will follow you as long as I live. But if not... I will just find a place to commit suicide." Rukatiye stroked the pendant that could suppress mental abnormalities.

"What are you talking about? What I have been saying from the beginning to now is the same - Rukatiye, I need you." Sun Yang said straight away.

"Hmph... How dare you say that." Rukatiye pulled off the pendant. Her expression and temperament changed in a few seconds. "Well, I still need to use happiness to relieve painful emotions. I feel better now. Using this unreasonable love-brain to attack my sadness... Take me away, Sun Yang. I can't wait to kill all your enemies for you."

She suddenly smiled, as if she were gleaming with light.

"Are you sure you don't need to slow down?" Sun Yang felt that his teammates' mental state was a little too unhealthy.

"Everything takes time to digest. Instead of taking some herbs to make my head dizzy, it's better for me to immerse myself in this emotion." Rukatiye still smiled slightly.

"I understand...Agent, Pascal, prepare to transfer important people, Rukatie will arrive soon. Also...I will be going to the Fallout World in a short time, and it's time to take care of things on the east coast." Sun Yang's words were sonorous and powerful.

"Are you talking to your...men?" Rukatiye collected some treasures left by his brother and hung them at his side.

"Yes, well, it may take you a long time to adapt. Whether you like it or not, you have to figure out the situation in the base first, and then we can talk about the subsequent battle. Now, I am your commander." Sun Yang said.

"Okay, then I look forward to seeing you again, Commander~" Rukatiye's head still seemed dizzy.

Oh, I hope she can handle her emotions. I don't have any super speech therapists here, and I'm also a bit of a tongue-tied person.

While thinking about this, Sun Yang grabbed Rukatiye's arm and used all the souls he had obtained along the way to transfer Rukatiye to the main base.

Then, Sun Yang immediately pulled out his world-traveling device. The humanoids in the Fallout world had been waiting for him for a long time, so he had to quickly recover the technology. Time waits for no one.

***

The feeling of traveling through the world wasn't very pleasant. At least, Rukatiye didn't think it was that great. She held her head and opened her eyes. She was surrounded by metal walls and faced a strangely shaped door. The whole room looked quite solid and clean, which made Rukatiye, who had been adventuring outside for a long time, feel somewhat familiar.

Besides that, there were a lot of random things she couldn't understand. What were these transparent, soft things? Rukatiye held them in his hands and rubbed them for a long time, feeling that they felt pretty good.

Before she could figure it out, she heard a loud noise coming from the room. Her keen senses immediately caught the sound outside. It must be the sound of footsteps.

"Newcomer! Is the newcomer here?!"

"Don't push people! Don't you all know what it looks like?!"

"This is someone the professor has taken special care of!"

"Hey Pascal, why do you look so bad?"

Rukatiye carefully opened the door, and what came into view was a few noisy men and women.

Rukatiye recognized at a glance that they were not humans, but a kind of highly intelligent puppets. Sun Yang called these puppets humanoids.

In the past, Sun Yang often brought many humanoids out to fight, but he didn’t bring any humanoids out during the time he was working with him.

When these humanoids saw Rukatiye coming out, they all exclaimed in surprise. Then they immediately shut up and stared at Rukatiye without saying anything.

[Wow! A few days ago, he brought a birdman! Today, he brought back a woman! The professor is so impressive!]

[Now we have all the men, women, and non-humans! Congratulations to our base for having its third intelligent creature!]

"Don't worry, didn't the Commander actually bring back a little dwarf? I was bored and dug up some dirt, and it's still buried there. It's incredible that it's still alive after all this time."

[This time, our team's LGBT index has increased again! We now have men, women, a super short, short murderer, and a birdman! Professor, you're so funny!]

The humanoids subconsciously gulped down the water, subconsciously ignoring the medieval human in front of them.

"Um, where is this place?" Rukatiye looked around among this strange crowd.

Standing in the middle was a humanoid with long pink hair, a pair of gray cat ears on top of his head, a pretty face, and a great figure, who was observing him carefully.

For some reason, Rukatiye felt like the figure had something against her. No, maybe it was just Nadra's curse clouding her judgment. Perhaps she shouldn't have acted so recklessly, relying on the undead's sturdiness to mess around.

That woman is jealous of me, she is jealous of the years I spent with my master, poor doll. Strange thoughts emerged from Rukatiye's mind.

It had only been taken off for a minute and it had already started? Rukatiye would rather his impulse not be so aggressive.

"Hello, I'm Pascal. Sun Yang has authorized me to manage this base." Pascal smiled affably. "Are you Rukatiye?"

"I don't think there's another Rukatiye in this place. Well, I feel like a primitive man here," Rukatiye said a little confusedly. "So, where am I? I'm all around me... I can sense huge souls. Is this Lordran, the land of the gods?"

"Sun Yang said that this is a world called KENSHI, and the environment outside is quite harsh. The place where you are now is our base." Pascal asked the other human figures who were watching the fun to disperse, and a picture was projected on the wall next to him under Pascal's operation.

"Griffin Oasis Base. Griffin Base is where the tactical humanoids live and train, and Oasis Base is responsible for scientific research, logistics, and everything else. As for the soul you mentioned? Strider, who was previously in charge of magic development here, said that Sun Yang's huge soul enveloped this base and protected everything here." Pascal tried his best to explain in words that Rukatier could understand.

"Okay..." Rukatiye didn't understand at all and could only agree reluctantly, "You guys don't want me to do any magic or anything like that, do you? I'll just enchant the weapon."

"No, Sun Yang told us that reliable magic researchers are rare. There used to be only one Strade, and now Strade has returned to the Dark Souls world to wander. So Sun Yang went to find another blacksmith who said he could process souls? It is also adapting to the environment here." Pascal explained in detail.

"The Dark Souls world? Oh, the world I've been staying in. Strider is the iron mask that speaks strangely, and the blacksmith is talking about the birdman." Rukatiye nodded in understanding. "Then what kind of work do I need to do? It seems that you are very trusted by Sun Yang."

"Not yet. You need to familiarize yourself with the environment here first. I'd like to ask, have you ever had negative distance contact with Sun Yang?" Pascal asked with some reserve.

"What? Why would there be? I'm either fighting or traveling every day." Rukatiye felt a little out of place. What did the puppet say? "Wait! I seem to have some impression. Were you on that magic ship before?"

"No, I wasn't on the boat at the time..." Pascal said a little flusteredly, "I thought you two had already confirmed your relationship after so long."

"No, not yet. I just finished something, which gave me some time to relax. By the way, the emotions of the humanoids here are quite complicated. Apart from the fact that they have no souls, they seem to be no different from humans." Rukatiye said casually.

"I think there are still some differences. But, you just said that it's not yet...?" Pascal asked.

"I know what kind of person Sun Yang was before. I was quite disgusted at first, but now I've let it go. It doesn't matter who he lives with. I haven't tasted sex yet," Rukatiye said with a slight smile on his face, and then quickly added, "But forget about having sex with women. I'm not feeling well."

"Sun Yang once told me that you are quite conservative?" Pascal took Rukatier away from here and went to the reserved room.

"That was a very important matter that I was busy with before, and I really couldn't get my mind focused... Now I'm not busy anymore. By the way, why hasn't Sun Yang come back yet? Doesn't he have his own base?" Rukatiye looked around.

"No," Pascal said with a sad expression, "He can go many places, but he can't come back here. All we can do is maintain the operations of the various bases and wait for his call."

"What? A commander can't return to his base. Is this some kind of fatal curse?" Rukatiye complained. "Well, if he could stay here, he wouldn't be running around outside all day. There are many people here who can speak normally. The ones I met on the road are more than the number of people who can speak normally I have met in Dolan Gureg in recent years. By the way, are there any dangerous places here? Or nests that need to be cleared?"

"If you're here, I don't think anyone can hurt you. It's usually safe inside the base." When Pascal took Rukatier through the corridor, he saw Paison and several male-looking humanoids holding electromagnetic machine guns and stun rods, guarding a metal box with large rollers. Several low-AI puppets and drones were transferring the box to other areas.

From time to time, the sound of violent hammering could be heard from within the box, but the surrounding figures ignored it and walked off to other areas with a relaxed look on their faces. Rukatiye looked at the box, which was gradually deformed by the hammering, with some suspicion.

"Don't worry, the combat humanoid bodies here have all been upgraded. Well... the cost of upgrading the material of the box will be too high..." Pascal thought with some concern.

Bang! The sealed box was finally kicked open, and a skeleton, clad entirely in metal, crawled out. Its limbs and body possessed a unique power system, and the humanoids immediately captured it for research. Although the humanoids had previously used technology to shut it down, for some unknown reason, it had suddenly activated itself.

The surrounding combat humanoids immediately rushed forward, and more than ten electric batons were all hit on the skeleton. One of the humanoids took out a data adapter from behind and inserted it into the skeleton's processor, shutting it down again.

Then the combat figures put the turned-off skeleton back into the box that had been kicked open and continued pushing it away.

"You call this safety? And what is that thing?" Rukatiye always felt that the safety that the humanoids talked about was not the same as the safety he understood.

"Our defense force is very reliable, we just need to stop the loss in time. That's a skeleton, a robot like me. We plan to study the ancient mechanical structure on it, which may help in the development of the next generation of bodies." Pascal introduced bluntly.

"I thought there wouldn't be any sense of confrontation between machines." Rukatiye sighed casually.

"This is a wrong perception, Rukatiye. Skeletons and we are just called robots, just like people from different regions are called humans. Humans may be friendly to strangers they have never met, but we don't have such an idea. Whether it is skeletons, synthetic humans, or some strange puppets, there is not much difference. Of course, we will not have any idea of ​​rescuing them." Pascal explained something that Rukatiye did not quite understand, but felt a little strange.

"Rescue?" Rukatiye was already unable to keep up with his train of thought.

"That's something that happened in the Fallout world. There's a group of humans with unclear minds who want to liberate synths... In many film and television works I've seen, we humanoids will try to contain those synths. This is actually a wrong view. We won't contain them unless Sun Yang gives the order, and we won't have any special ideas. I don't understand why human screenwriters want us to assist machines that don't have friendly codes." Pascal sighed rarely.

"Is it like taking in refugees? Well, only countries that lack labor will try to take them in." Rukatiye more or less felt the difference between these humanoids and humans.

After a lot of conversation, Rukatier was finally brought to the room by Pascal.

"I will arrange a free intelligent agent for you, and she will be here soon. You can ask her if you have any questions. We have analyzed the daily needs of humans, so please feel free to ask for anything you want." Pascal said and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Okay, one last question. I always feel that you are a little angry? Is it related to Sun Yang?" Rukatiye noticed that there was a hint of complaint in Pascal's tone.

"Because I haven't been moisturized for a long time... He belongs to all of us, not just you." Pascal said after a short silence.

"Okay, I, I don't have any other questions." Rukatiye had to rub her head hard. She really needed a few days to let her brain rest.

291 Return to the Fallout World

I'm finally back, back to this world full of black humor, black technology full of nonsense, radiation and nuclear bombs everywhere.

Sun Yang endured the feeling of a washing machine. It seemed that as his health bar and adaptability grew, his resistance to various harsh environments also improved. He slowly climbed to his feet and stood in this dilapidated post-apocalyptic world again.

It took about a month to go from Fallout back to Dark Souls, and then back again. It felt like I was traveling a lot, but it was basically just catching up on things I hadn't dealt with in Dark Souls.

Unexpectedly, not only did he complete Rukatie's mission and successfully recruit her (although her mental state was somewhat worrying, Sun Yang believed that Rukatie was a strong knight), but he also unlocked two new magic researchers: a birdman and an Andil.

The birdman Onefix, in the original game, was a creature that could create weapons directly from its soul. Although Sun Yang didn't know how it did it, it said that this ability came from the ancient white dragon Sith. Since it was a white dragon Sith, it was normal for it to have some awesome things.

Before leaving the main base, Strider handed over all the research work he had been responsible for. After all, he was not resigning, but just going out to travel the world.

Birdman and Strider didn't need to work together on their research, as that would likely only increase their conflict. Sun Yang didn't really expect them to come up with anything useful within a few months; he just needed to create something new before he returned to the Girls' Frontline world.

After all, one of them was a generalist, and the other specialized in soul forging. The birdman was still adapting to the environment, and there was still time for it to begin work once it had adjusted to its surroundings and understood the needs of the humanoids.

As for Andil... Sun Yang had no intention of collaborating with him on any research. Although Sun Yang knew that with his help, the humanoids might be able to find some powerful tools to use in no time.

But Sun Yang wasn't about to enter into a deep collaboration with such an overpowered being. Even the birdman, Strider, had a need of his, and his combat power was at a level a humanoid could handle. As for Andil? Sun Yang had no idea how to defeat a strange creature that could roam freely between campfires. Therefore, maintaining the current momentum of cooperation was sufficient.

After all, Sun Yang and Qingchu were able to come to the Fallout world because Andil punched them.

But at least Andil from the Dark Souls world was asking for his help, and given his ability to wander around in other worlds, his attitude was sincere. Someone from another world wouldn't necessarily do something outrageous.

Beep, beep... The humanoids stationed in the Great Mountain Range noticed the presence of friendly units and sent a communication request to Sun Yang. Sun Yang took it.

[Professor?! You're back?] A vibrant Soul's portrait appeared on the screen. [Is the matter in the Dark Souls world completed? Please stay where you are! I'll come find you!]

"It's done for now. How's the situation here?" Sun Yang determined his position. "Usually, I can only get a general idea of ​​the situation through reports."

"We're all good here! The environment in the Great Mountains has been completely cleaned up! The doctors are busy restoring the original technology, which is taking a lot of time. Also, Mobius is leading the development of an AI that can coordinate with the Iron Blood Network and the Humanoid Network." Soul said as he opened the door in front of Sun Yang.

She ran wildly across the flat land, turned two corners, and pounced on a man wearing a cool black coat.

Strange, is there anyone here wearing a coat like this? Sun Yang, still a little sluggish after the teleportation, scratched his head. He felt a soft impact from behind, and two white arms appeared in front of him and embraced him.

"Professor! Good morning!" Su Er's voice came from behind. Sun Yang turned off the communication and touched Su Er's white wrist.

"Good morning, Su'er. Long time no see..." Sun Yang said. Su'er loosened his arms and walked around to Sun Yang.

"It's true that I haven't seen the professor in real life for a long time. Do you want to take off your coat? Do you still wear this power suit every day? And what's the use of this stick?" Sur looked very happy, probably because he hadn't seen Sun Yang for a long time.

"This stick is a magical artifact. So magical that I can't get it back to base. My coat is hard to take off, so let's leave it like this."

Sun Yang took off the cool helmet he had been wearing and teleported back to the base. He swung the spiral sword, and under his will, the spiral sword transformed into a heavy arm armor hanging on his arm.

"Well... okay~" Soul looked a little distressed, "It's been such a long time since we last met, and the professor's reaction is so cold."

"Because I just sent a very powerful undead warrior back to the base a few minutes ago. She needs to slow down, and I need to slow down too..." Sun Yang said as he and Sur walked along the flat road towards the think tank in the center of the mountains.

The Great Mountain Range has completely changed. Before, this place was full of radioactive waste, wandering test subjects, skeletons driven by power suits, crazy machines, and so on.

Ever since Sun Yang started a fierce fire on the west coast, this base has been completely repaired and rebuilt by humanoids and local machines.

Now, the area was clear of those roaming creatures, save for the various drones that had been inspected and authorized by Antonina, Oasis's chief digital security advisor. All the AI ​​and machines designed by the Fallout world had been destroyed.

The humanoids on the Great Mountain Range side also arranged a corresponding rotation schedule. When Sun Yang and Rukatiye traveled around, they would take time to sit by the campfire a few more times to let the humanoids rotate with each other.

This wasn't a big deal. Pascal and the agent would draw up a comprehensive rotation list in advance. At a fixed time, the dolls would gather with their supplies, and Sun Yang would just have to teleport them together.

It's like a time-space portal that allows for fixed-time, fixed-point teleportation. While it's manageable at the moment, with only four worlds to deal with, it could become quite complex if there were more... Rotating the humanoids is still quite troublesome, and there are also times when additional personnel are needed due to unexpected circumstances.

If you go to a less important world later, don't randomly open new mines.

"Are you the only one here? Where are the others?" Sun Yang looked around, then opened the window and squinted his eyes to look for the list of rotating humanoids nearby... It seemed that Sur was really the only one here.

"After cleaning up the mess here, Pascal and Antonina concentrated all the explosion signals of those brains on one person. All the remote-controlled devices here have been replaced with Oasis's, and if those brains try to decode, they will be forced to use a special drug. Although I don't understand what it does, those thinking bodies are quite scared." Sur gave Sun Yang a very detailed explanation.

Under Suer's guidance, Sun Yang quickly gained an understanding of the situation. The strictly guarded thought entities seemed to be working quite efficiently, having made considerable progress in just a month. In Mobius's words, "It felt like we were back to the days before the nuclear war. Of course, only the strict surveillance felt like a return to the days before the nuclear war."

Mobius didn't come out to meet Sun Yang. He preferred to avoid suspicion and do what he could. He was happy to restore the past technology or fill the holes that these thought bodies had caused in the past.

Those synthetic animals that are rampant in the wasteland require these intellectual entities to conduct continuous research and experiments before they can come up with a more practical solution.

Until these holes are plugged, these minds will be unable to fully participate in the scientific research tasks that the Greens plan to assign them. Many projects related to ultra-low memory AI, safer and more powerful nuclear fusion cores, and new power armor are still waiting in the queue.
