I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

"Ah... I really don't like this place. Why did the Commander have to rush in here... This place is too dangerous for him. This is simply hell. This airship could crash to the ground at any moment." M14 followed behind and complained rarely.

"Yang has his reasons. And this isn't hell... If there really was a hell, I wouldn't let him jump in even if I broke his legs," M4 said seriously.

"Regarding this matter, M4, have we reached the designated location yet? Didn't you say you'd found a solution to the detection system malfunction?" Gouzi asked from behind.

There are many humanoids at the Oasis base who are engaged in geological research and exploration. They recently provided a very advanced solution. This experimental seismic wave detection array can collect topographic data within a certain area by receiving seismic waves.

M4 gripped the railing, steadying herself. The figures behind her shifted positions.

"Could you explain this in terms a normal humanoid would understand?" AR15 asked.

[We need to deploy sub-sensors in the detection area below, then detonate a specially designed seismic bomb in the center of the detection area.] M4 pointed at the various instruments on the humanoids.

"Then we'll collect detection data and reverse engineer the terrain map. Based on the nearby terrain features, we'll locate the military base Yang is looking for. Our humanoid short-range communication systems are highly resistant to interference and can transmit data in this environment." M4 said, pointing to the bottom of the airship.

"Wait, are we going to get down to the surface? And then detonate a bomb, and then have this instrument's mapping system record the data?" M14 clutched the railing, the wind still howling around them.

"What's the problem?" M4 asked.

[I feel like this will wake up the monsters sleeping here...] M14 said in a bad tone.

"This is a sci-fi world, nothing like that. Besides, I don't think anything can survive in a radioactive dust storm. If you think the mission is too risky, M14, you can protect Yang on the airship," M4 said.

[Although I really don't think that in this environment, anything can hit an airship hundreds of meters high...] M14 put away his slight doubts.

The figures attached themselves to the railings and, braving the inclement weather, descended to the ground. Their propulsion systems and automatic stabilizers prevented them from becoming dizzy, allowing the four figures to maintain a relatively stable position upon landing.

There was solid ground under her feet, and M4 stepped hard on it. She tried to use all the detection systems on her body to detect it, but the results were very poor.

[Where's the hostile-sensing grenade developed by Atlas?] AR15 pulled a secondary grenade from his back and threw it into the open field, where it exploded. AR15 switched to the specialized visual module, but his field of vision was a sea of ​​red, blind.

"Give up! Oasis's research department already integrated that grenade-locating technology into the helmet. We can't see it anyway. Okay, spread out. Place a sub-sensor every three kilometers." M4 inserted the instrument on his back into the ground.

The surrounding humanoids immediately activated their power suits' jetpacks and scurried off in the strong wind. Vision was extremely poor, and the humanoids could only use their high-performance vision modules to discern the shapes of some objects in the dust storm and avoid any sudden obstacles.

There was nothing left on the ground. M4 observed their surroundings visually. Only a swirling dust storm filled the air. Even though a reconnaissance airship was hundreds of meters overhead, they couldn't even see its location.

The storm completely drowned out the roar of the reconnaissance airship's engines. Unless someone was right in front of them, no one would have noticed the uninvited guest floating in the sky.

The surrounding terrain may change due to combat or other reasons, and there may be slight errors in detection. These are all things that need to be taken into consideration.

Within a few minutes, the surrounding humanoids responded through their high-performance communication system, announcing that the bomb had been deployed. M14 also informed them that the bomb was in place.

[Start.] M4 gave the order.

Boom... A faint vibration sounded, and M4 could feel it through her power suit. For a moment, she was really worried that she might awaken some dormant demon...

M4 turned up the volume of the pickup equipment, trying to find unusual sounds in the dust storm - but the clamor of the dust storm made this search like looking for a needle in a haystack.

[M4, all data has been collected. Transmitting to Oasis Base via the humanoid network.] M14's voice came again.

"You didn't hear anything strange?" M4 asked.

[No, I was just worrying too much.] M14 replied.

"I say, the worst thing about this place is the radioactive dust and the terrible weather. This place is even worse than the Great Rift Valley. Even a ghoul wouldn't survive in this environment." The dog made a simple judgment.

[Oasis has analyzed the geomorphic data. The nearby terrain is consistent with a military base. The reconnaissance airship is landing and marking the coordinates. Be careful not to get crushed by the airship.] Sun Yang's voice came over the communication.

[Roger that. Phew, looks like everything's fine.] M4 pulled the device off the ground and found a spot barely shielded from the wind to wait.

M14 watched as the other T-dolls found a place to pass the time. However, as a civilian T-doll with several casualties, she sometimes felt a sense of worry and crisis that defied T-doll logic.

Is a canyon perpetually enveloped in radiation truly free of danger? But nothing can truly survive in such an environment. Age and time will corrode everything, even rock will be blown to sand.

"That's because this environment is just unsettling. You're overthinking it, M14," AR15 said casually.

Under Sun Yang's command, the reconnaissance airship gradually approached the ground. As the airship approached, M4 could gradually hear the roar of the engine coming from above.

It’s a wonder that this airship can still be used in such harsh environment.

[M4, I hear strange noises around me.] M14's voice came again.

[Talk.] M4 wasn't too upset. Many of the members who were originally civilian humanoids had a more sensitive sense of the battlefield than they did.

[I heard a crackling sound behind me, as if the turret was turning.] As soon as M14 finished speaking, all the team members heard a deafening cannon fire.

boom------! !

The sound waves from the gunfire temporarily blew away the surrounding radioactive dust. M14 turned around and looked behind him. A huge gun barrel was looming in the dust storm.

The roar of the cannon was so familiar.

The humanoids' memories were pulled back to Tallinn... the isomer... the armored train... Paldiski, the nuclear submarine base on the coast.

That roaring coastal defense artillery, the Soviet military's steel torrent... the Barracuda node... that quartz captain, the bloody push rod, and the flames that burst out after the armored train was destroyed.

Instantly, the shells struck the slowly descending reconnaissance airship. A violent roar echoed from beneath the deck. The shockwaves and heat from the successive explosions shattered the thick iron plates beneath.

The hydrogen filling the airship and the nuclear fusion reactor were instantly shattered and ignited by the fire from below. The resulting chain of explosions could tear the entire airship into several pieces in an instant.

There are several apologies in this volume...

The last chapter was criticized by readers for ending too hastily, which was not very pleasant to read. I also felt it was a bit too hasty. It ended too quickly...

I will polish and revise it based on the feedback. Subscribed readers can refresh and give feedback.

In addition, someone in the book club asked whether the sonar system is reasonable. I feel that it is indeed not very reasonable (at least the nonsense is not very reliable).

I received help from my fellow book friends and a big brother on the list, Tiger Style. I re-edited a detection system that seems to be more reliable. I would like to thank the big brother on the list for his great help. Thank you very much.

I'll do my best to make the Fallout story a smooth one. I can't just let it go if it can't be sustained. I'll do my best to make it at least a little better.

333 Restart

Intense pain swept through his body in an instant, and then Sun Yang lost consciousness.

But he did not really lose consciousness. In the darkness, a ball of warm flame flickered in front of him. Sun Yang opened his eyes under the illumination of this warm flame.

Flames filled his entire field of vision. Although Sun Yang did not understand, its name instinctively popped up in his mind.

【First Fire.】

The flame that gives the Dark Souls world its power, wisdom, life and death. The flame of hypocrisy, the flame of love.

"People are born of fire and die of fire. And the First Fire will protect you."

Tender words seemed to come from the flames, which surrounded him and reshaped his body from the ashes.

"Undead, you died by fire... and by fire you will live again. Your time of death has not yet arrived."

First Fire? Consciousness? Sun Yang felt as if his thoughts were immersed in an ocean, and he was just a cluster of microorganisms within it, ready to dissipate again at any moment.

"I am you, and you are me." After leaving these words, the flames in front of him engulfed Sun Yang.

When Sun Yang regained consciousness, his power suit was still wrapped in raging flames, but he was lying on the ground - above his head were burnt metal fragments.

The First Fire... Protect me? Sun Yang's body gradually felt the sharp pain from the burning. He immediately patted his body and sweated violently to offset the damage of the flames.

He looked at his other hand, because the spiral sword, which was burning red with flames, was held in his hand.

That was the spiral sword given to him by Andil. Sun Yang had always been afraid that someone might use it as an excuse to not use the spiral sword... But now it seemed that he was able to be reborn here in the same place thanks to this sword.

Not far from where Sun Yang lay, there was a pool of dark green and red liquid. It was the soul that flowed out after the death of the undead. If it was not collected for a long time, it would turn into large pieces of soul and be absorbed by other creatures or dissipate in the world.

Sun Yang stretched out his hand, and the thick liquid returned to his body. The little bit of soul he had accumulated returned to his body again.

When he was reborn from the spiral sword and merged with the soul and flame within his body, he accepted the embrace of the primordial fire for the first time. Sun Yang could feel a special power suddenly appearing within him—perhaps it was not born out of thin air, but a power that every undead person is born with.

The gift from the First Fire was a power that belonged only to the undead. His control and feeling of his limbs became clearer, as if only after dying once did his undead body and his otherworldly soul truly connect and care for each other for the first time.

At the same time, his mind seemed to open up, and Sun Yang could clearly sense the existence of "souls" in his consciousness. For example, several familiar souls rushed over from afar.

[Commander! Answer! Please!] All the humanoids were calling out to him. Sun Yang glanced at the hundreds of messages in the window and took a breath.

"Everyone calm down! Keep fighting! Base! Agent! Comfort everyone! We are still fighting!" Sun Yang grabbed the spiral sword and performed several recovery spells in succession to completely heal his body that was burned by flames.

"Commander is still alive! Great! Great..." M4 muttered through the comms, "Commander... Yang, where are you? We're going to get you out now! Can you still use the teleporter?"

"I said, keep fighting! AR team! M14! The enemy is using large-caliber artillery! You must enter the military base immediately!" Sun Yang gave orders while looking at the burning iron plate above his head.

"Roger that! AR Squad! M14! Meet me! Target Military Base Number One!" M4 responded immediately. In Sun Yang's field of vision, the scattered souls gathered and ran off into the distance.

Zira—! A lightning spear, gleaming with dazzling light, burst forth from the spiral sword in his hand. Sun Yang launched it forward. Filled with lightning and miraculous power, it shattered the steel plates before him, sending a radioactive dust storm plunging into the wreckage of the airship.

"Pascal? Pascal?" After calming down, Sun Yang hurried to look for Pascal.

"Professor, don't worry about me..." Pascal's communication came through. Half of her body had been blown away, and she was lying in the base's repair chamber. "My near-death teleport was triggered, and I was directly blown to pieces and appeared on the floor of the oasis. But you, professor, how did you survive?"

"I didn't survive," Sun Yang swung the spiral sword, its mottled flames flickering in the dust storm. "I was resurrected from this spiral sword."

[Undead... Professor's survival is more important than anything else... I can't imagine what it would be like after you die... Fortunately, this is just a short nightmare.] Pascal sighed softly.

"Immortality?" Sun Yang felt as if his mentality had changed. He seemed to have become less afraid of death. "This way, I also have the courage to fight alongside the humanoids."

Sun Yang sped along the road, braving the dust storm. He could vaguely sense a large number of faint souls in the direction the humanoids were heading.

Is this what Rukatiye and the other undead were talking about, the induction of souls? No wonder the zombies were so thirsty for souls and sought out creatures with souls within their bodies.

It's like biological radar. If trained well, an undead person can easily locate all living things in a dark environment.

The figures quickly joined together, the ground beneath their feet gradually becoming steeper, and the surrounding buildings becoming more and more even. The military base was right before their eyes.

There seemed to be the sound of an automatic door opening up ahead, and a group of shadowy, meter-tall, humanoid figures emerged from within. They gazed at the wreckage of the airship overhead, roaring with delight. The leader activated the loudspeaker on his shoulder, and a creaking sound emanated from it.

"This is the military base of us 76 boys and 76 girls, you bastards! You've entered our airspace without permission. We've already fired warning shots! If you don't land, we'll officially open fire!"

"Boss, it looks like we've hit it. The airship has fallen down."

"Alpaca! You're the only one who talks too much! Atmosphere! Do you understand atmosphere?! Damn, the new boss is so weak. He was taken down in one shot. So fucking weak."

"I don't think anything good will come out. It would be nice if there were some new comic books. Damn, I shouldn't have lit a fire to play with it. I quite like that series..."

These people had no intention of hiding their true identity and walked out of the military base laughing and joking.

M4 tried to sneak over with their cloaking device activated, but it seemed that due to the local radiation dust storm, their cloaking system was completely shut down. Fortunately, the power suit still maintained its normal propulsion capability, otherwise M4 and the others' combat effectiveness would be affected.

"M4, those bastards said they were 76 guys?" Sun Yang, who was able to monitor the voice from M4 at the same time, asked while running.

[Did you remember anything? Or do you have another trick up your sleeve?] After confirming Sun Yang's safety, M4 quickly adjusted his mindset and focused on the mission.

"Fallout 76, Vault 76... But before I became undead, Fallout 76 was still in its conception phase," Sun Yang said, looking troubled. This matter had reached a point where he was blind. "But that Vault was supposed to open in 2102. It's been over a hundred years, so how come there's still a guy or girl from Vault 76?"

"Ghouls, or descendants? No matter which one, they're both crazy enough... No matter what, I must kill them!"

M4 said viciously.

"Just because they killed the commander! I'm going to tear them apart with my bare hands!" Gouzi shouted from behind.

"Be careful." Sun Yang swung the spiral sword to clear the negative status on his body, and then he crushed two dripping stones to replenish his status.

334 Ambush

This radioactive dust explosion should have had a significant impact on them. We can use this to our advantage and set up an ambush. We'll lie in wait at the entrance and see what the hell they are.

After M4 gave the order, the humanoids lowered their feet and hid around the base. The excessive radiation dust storm made the humanoids lose all reliable and convenient detection methods, but it also provided a large amount of concealment bonus.

In the distance, Sun Yang was running towards this side while giving orders to the base which had barely quieted down.

"Get the tactical figures and the Oasis armed figures ready for battle! I need backup!"

【Understood!】【Received!】

The agent and Pascal, who was remotely controlling the repair chamber, immediately began to notify and make preparations.

Soon, these noisy lunatics came out, and M4 was able to see their appearance at close range through high-performance vision.

These men wore rusted power armor and carried an assortment of old Fat Man nuclear missile launchers, missile launchers, bazookas, and Hellstorm launchers.

All of them are equipment that can be regarded as firepower reports wherever they are placed.

"Speaking of which, why is there an airship flying over here? It seems like I haven't seen anything coming in from outside for ages."

"Ever since that nuclear fireworks display competition, why hasn't anyone tried to dissuade us from dropping the bombs? We've all just happily launched them. We've lost our last piece of land where we can grow crops. You guys just love to fight to the death, don't you?"

"What's the big deal? We don't need to eat anyway. We can just go outside and get some fresh air and be full. Why not do something else instead of eating, drinking, pooping, and urinating?"

"I'm getting off topic. It seems like no one has come since that time? It's really getting lonely."

"Some members of the Brotherhood of Steel were wandering around the periphery, but they didn't go deep inside."
