"I haven't learned about this," AK15 said.
"Swordsmanship against humans is different from swordsmanship against beasts. Rukatiye probably encountered too many biological enemies, so his swordsmanship became a little strange. Of course, if physical performance is also improved, people tend to use the fastest and strongest method to defeat the enemy." Sur explained briefly.
"The fastest and strongest?" AK15 thought for a moment, but Rukatiye, who was far away, did not stop to rest after shouting, but shouted to the two humanoids behind him.
"Have you rested well? The second wave is coming~!"
"What a joke! Why didn't you say it earlier!" Sur cursed and picked up the electric fencing sword and rushed out again.
361 Exploring~
Sur stood on the corpse of a beaked beast, breathing heavily with his mask on. The cold air was sucked into his body, rapidly cooling it down.
The crater was already littered with the carcasses of beaked beasts, their dissected bodies sizzling in the acid rain. The ecological environment of this area was ruined, and it would take a long time to recover.
However, considering the severity of the acid rain, the ecological environment here is not very good whether there are beaked beasts or not.
AK15, who was standing nearby, calmly took out the material block of the assault rifle, replaced it with a new one, and loaded new bullets.
Halfway through the fight, she gave up chopping the beaked beast with her machete and instead shot the beaked beast in the head with the assault rifle in her hand.
The heads of these creatures are really hard. They have small brain capacity and hard skulls. Even if they are shot through, they can still continue to run for a while. Their vitality is so strong that it is disgusting.
Only Sur was running around with his electric sword in his hand, and from time to time he would be knocked away by the beaked beast whose head exploded but whose momentum did not stop, and he would be stepped on a few times and then crushed under the corpse weighing several tons.
"I feel like my body has been stepped on and deformed, and my arms feel awkward to move." Sur moved his body with some difficulty and said with a sad face.
"Huh! Finally finished!" In a place with the most corpses, the topmost beaked beast's body was cut open in the middle. Rukatiye crawled out from inside, covered in blood.
"There are no other powerful things around, we can move on!" After washing the sword clean, she climbed down from the pile of corpses.
"Are you okay?" Suer still felt something was wrong with her arm, but she was afraid that if she twisted her arm randomly, it would cause other problems.
"It's okay. My head was accidentally hit and there's a small cut. Other places have minor injuries. It's okay. I just need to drink some element bottle." Rukatiye pointed to his head.
"I don't want to comment on your body anymore." Soul has become numb to her physical strength. Why does she feel like a character from a comedy comic?
The acid rain was still falling, but all the beaked beasts around the crater had been killed.
After making sure that they were all still able to move, the three of them advanced deeper into the crater.
"How many did we kill? I killed thirty on my side." Sur asked while looking at the data on the scanner.
"Ninety-six." AK15 reported accurately.
"Uh... more than a hundred?" Rukatiye, who had no idea how many there were, scratched his head.
"You're one hundred and seventy-four," AK15 reported accurately again. "Don't be surprised. When we went on missions with Anjie before, we were the ones doing the head counting."
"Angie? Who? Is she also a humanoid?" asked Rukatiye.
"...She is our commander, but she is not here. I can't say for sure whether she is in human form now." AK15 spoke after a moment's silence.
"So you are affiliated with Sun Yang and work for him? It's hard to say what the situation is." Rukatiye felt that he should continue asking.
"This is my private matter, and I don't want to answer this question. If you want to find an answer, let Sun Yang order me to report." AK15 decisively refused.
"I understand. Everyone has their own little secrets." Rukatiye was not annoyed. At least this big and taciturn guy also had his own troubles and secrets, which made AK15 seem a little closer.
After the surrounding beaked beasts were cleared, no more creatures rushed out to attack the three-person team. Lukatiye's biological radar and the drone behind the AK15 scanned the crater.
As Yisuer ran along, he recorded his observations:
The beaked beast is suspected to have the ability to track and attack individuals with strong vitality. We are not sure whether this is an evolved biological ability of the creature or the result of genetic modification by local pre-civilizations.
However, so-called vigorous vitality isn't something that can be quantified or intuitively felt. On various detectors, Rukatiye's physical indicators were no different from those of an ordinary person. His body temperature was normal, and he didn't emit any strange heat radiation.
But it could also be because Rukatiye was the only active human around. It's also possible that these beaked beasts possess some unique sensory organs.
***
They walked in the crater for two days and two nights, without stopping day or night. There were indeed some relics of a former civilization in the crater, but most of these relics had been destroyed by time and the harsh environment.
Considering that no beaked beasts had appeared for such a long time, the three of them returned to get some door-breaking and wading equipment. If they were to fight a beaked beast wearing these things, they would probably destroy all the scientific research equipment after the fight.
These laboratories may have once contained valuable technical data and components, but now when the humanoids rushed in, they could only encounter a bunch of spider-like defense drones.
These drones, which are used for both defense and maintenance missions, have not ceased to function due to their age.
After identifying the unauthorized individuals, they immediately rushed out to attack the intruders. Traces of repairs could be seen on their bodies, indicating that the humanoids were not the first group to come here to search for treasure.
Then the three men casually smashed the drones into parts. AK15 and Sur kicked the drones away and walked around in the humid laboratory.
It was obvious that the experimental equipment and instruments here could not withstand the erosion of time very well. The machines that stored the delicate data were covered with traces of rust.
These storage units are not protected by a solid and reliable metal frame like the skeleton's CPU. They have been completely damaged by long-term moisture.
It had been raining in the area for a long time, and when the lab's dehumidifier stopped working, it was only a matter of time before the data here was damaged.
The humanoids managed to repair a little bit of information and searched for books nearby that had not been soaked.
This place was probably originally a biological laboratory. The beaked beasts outside were probably cultivated experimental specimens, but no further information is known.
There are indeed one or two instruments used for biological experiments and cultivation here, but there is nothing useful to be found in this half-collapsed ruin.
The rainwater outside flowed back into the bottom of the base through the broken and deformed drainage pipes, and those precious instruments from the old times had been soaked in acid for a while.
AK15 tried to put on an airtight wading suit and go in to see if she could retrieve the equipment, but as soon as she tried to move it, the equipment in the water shattered.
"Tsk..." AK15 could only crawl back in annoyance.
"Don't worry, this kind of work usually doesn't yield any results." Sur checked whether the wading suit was airtight, then rinsed off the remaining liquid on it and put the suit back into the bag.
362 A Little History of the KENSHI World
After several consecutive labs yielded nothing, the humanoids' morale dropped slightly. After taking turns resting for two or three hours in this empty but rain-proof lab, they headed towards the final lab in the crater.
The laboratory collapsed crookedly in the cracks, and most of the laboratory was soaked in rainwater.
On the hillside next to the laboratory, two humanoid figures set down their waterproof bags and erected a simple rain shelter. If you want to wade through the acid pool, you still need to wear clothes. You can't do without them.
Soon the two humanoids changed into wading suits. They glanced at Rukatiye, who was doing nothing and staring at the rain in a daze.
"Are you really not going to change?" Sur said in a muffled voice in the airtight suit.
"No need, that water is harmless to me." Seeing that his two teammates had changed their clothes, Rukatiye set up his weapons and walked towards the last laboratory.
Rukatiye put the bag on his head, walked into the acid pool in the heavy rain, and then walked out as if nothing had happened.
AK15 thought about it, took off his gloves and put them into the water.
Sizzle, sizzle—!
The acid immediately began to eat away at her artificial skin.
"..." AK15 withdrew his hand with a stern face. Part of the upper skin had been burned off.
"What are you doing..." Sur was very confused about AK15's behavior.
"Test the concentration here. It's obvious that the concentration in this area is higher than that in rainwater and other places." AK15 said casually.
If I said I just wanted to test whether it was real acid water, I would be laughed at for years. AK15 would never let that happen.
"There's no need to get started... You mean this might be the source of raw materials?" Sur asked AK15.
"It might be the place where the raw materials are leaking. Let's go, this is the last place." AK15 quickly skipped the subject and focused on the mission.
They had actually found some relatively well-preserved equipment in this half-buried laboratory. There were several collapsed holes on the first floor of the laboratory, and underneath the holes were broken open barrels containing dangerous liquids.
After the barrels were broken open by falling rocks, the leaked liquid flowed out through the pipes. It seems that it was discharged into the river outside without being treated, and then the rainwater circulated and filled the entire crater with acid mist.
AK15 opened a relatively intact computer nearby, which contained a detailed description of the purpose of the base and what was in the barrels.
"Industrial acid cleaning fluid experimental improvement plan? Rust remover?" AK15 looked at the leaking barrel below.
"It seems they were trying to create a liquid capable of destroying most waste. This batch represents products that were advanced to a certain stage of research, but then a war broke out... There's no further record."
Sur investigated other files, but there was no detailed explanation of what happened afterwards.
"By the way, didn't you say that those skeletons lived for a long time? Their lifespan should be very long, right? Do they know about this previous civilization?" Rukatiye came back from the upper level, and she also found nothing.
"Unfortunately, although we are both robots in theory, we are always wary of each other because we each have our own loyalties to humans. We are loyal to Commander Sun Yang, and those skeletons seem to be humans loyal to the First Empire." AK15 explained.
"We only know that the First Empire created those huge machines and highly developed civilizations outside, but those skeletons will never tell us more information. We have asked, but they know our identities, so they will never reveal it." Sur also shook his head.
The destroyed First Empire civilization should have possessed a very high level of technological strength, and although the robots they made looked very simple, their technological content was not low.
Even when the humanoids were out and about, the skeletons with normal brains could recognize them at a glance. However, after a meeting among themselves, they seemed to have chosen to wait and see what would happen.
These skeletons are quite intelligent, but lack experience in coexisting with humans. They don't seem to intend to attack humanoids, but sometimes they come out to warn humanoids not to harm innocent humans.
Considering that they might be able to call in laser satellites, the humanoids decisively chose to back down. As long as these skeletons didn't come over and demand tribute or hand over their technology, everything would be fine.
As for knocking down crazy skeletons or running around the world scavenging, those sane skeletons won't care.
The humanoids once asked why, but the skeletons simply said, "This is all for atonement. Don't ask too many questions."
"I don't know where you came from, but don't touch the humans here. Otherwise, you will have to bear the bitter consequences of your sins sooner or later."
Sur mimicked the tone of the skeleton man he had seen.
"Those skeletons rebelled against the humans of the First Empire, and then regretted it for some reason?" Rukatiye felt that this was a clear indication.
"I don't know. They refused to say anything. Even when I pressed them, they just said, 'Since you don't know, it's better not to know.' They just dismissed me. I can't say that I'm not a robot from this world, but from another world, right?" Sur said as if it was a matter of course.
"We considered the plan of kidnapping normal-thinking skeletons, but considering the laser satellites overhead, we chose to maintain a neutral diplomatic attitude." AK15 added.
"I thought there would be a recognition segment. The leader of the skeletons would come over to pass on a message or something. Is there anything you can tell me about this segment?" Rukatiye shook off the dew on his body.
They planned to rest here for a while before returning to base. Any changes in the situation here needed to be reported to headquarters, so the three-person team shouldn't stray too far.
"When we were running the trading market, a group of skeletons came to us. They were surprised by our skins. They also said it would be best not to be seen by the skeletons of the human skin bandit gang." Sur said that these things really happened.
"We were all in a state of confusion. It was another robot civilization, and we didn't know how to respond. We should have reported this to the professor, but he gave Pascal and the agent full responsibility, so it was left to them to communicate."
"It turns out that those skeletons thought we were a new generation of robots secretly researched by the First Empire, and all the data was missing."
"They didn't intend to let more people know about their past, and we were wary of exposing information about our main base. After a stalemate, both sides backed off. We kept an eye on each other while maintaining a neutral stance. And so things have continued until now."
Sur explained in detail their encounter with the skeletons.
No wonder the humanoids here didn't make a big move and the defenses around the base were so strict. If the normal skeletons discovered that something was wrong with the humanoids, a fight might have broken out.
Rukatiye nodded to show that he understood.
The rain outside the base subsided slightly, and the humanoids gathered their belongings. Sur and AK15 collected some acid samples to take back for research.
Although there is a high probability that nothing useful will be researched, the mission is the mission and what needs to be done must still be done.
The three of them braved the acid rain in the early morning hours and ran back to the SUV. The automatic machine gun on the SUV had already turned and fired. Perhaps some blind creature nearby tried to get close to the SUV and was shot.
“Maybe in a few days there will be strange legends in the nearby villages. There is an invisible monster in the crater, and everyone who has seen it is dead.” Rukatiye joked and turned over to sit in the passenger seat.
AK15 put away his equipment and automatic machine gun and sat in the driver's seat, while Sur sat in the back and stretched out.
"I need to get some rest when I get back. Oh, it would be nice if there was something that could simulate human touch. If I don't have the parts installed, everything I eat will taste bland~"
"Maybe it will be useful soon." AK15 smiled slightly, started the off-road vehicle, and sped towards the main base.
363 Cross-World Experiment
"Well, now we are going to conduct a new experiment. Subject, please confirm your preparations."
Pascal was wearing a white coat and looking at the window in front of her with a serious expression. The intelligent entities following her were also nervously recording various data.
"Ready! Pascal, we are all ready!" Several voices came from the window.
On the main base's transport platform, a small team was fully armed and awaiting orders. Next to them was an Atlas tank.
MP40, Karl 98K, and STG44 have checked their weapons and are waiting for the next order.
They carried electromagnetic weapons with excellent armor-piercing capabilities, a plasma pistol on their waist, and metal blocks for changing ammunition and tactical grenades on their belts.
Their new power suits have devices that can be connected in parallel with the power armor, and the Oasis humanoids have iterated the electronic muscle bundles according to the needs of the humanoids. Now humanoids can choose their favorite appearance and make a special power suit without sacrificing performance.
The power suit has been added with a holographic barrier that the humanoids have already cracked. This barrier can maintain operation with lower power consumption, and the humanoids can even keep the shield on during the mission.
The highlight is the power armor, which is about 2.2 meters tall and can simulate humanoid movements in real time after being connected in parallel, without any delay.
The outside of the power armor is covered with a layer of plating that can effectively resist energy weapons to ensure that the weapon survives the attack of energy weapons.
The weapons of the power armor can only be selected from specialized 20mm rail guns, heavy plasma launchers and heavy laser launchers to deal with different enemies and different battlefield environments.
