"While you were completely captivated by the professor, I was just bored and made this for fun. Don't worry, even if you're transmitting data, you don't have to worry about it being decrypted. Unless these people learn the encoding characteristics of both the Fallout world and the psychic communication network, it's impossible to crack it. Feel free to use it."
Antonina, who had personally deciphered the algorithms and codes of several worlds, offered a sharp assessment of the humanoids' electronic warfare capabilities. However, only she could say that; anyone else would be rebuked for simply stating it.
"Pascal, you and the agent prepare the personnel. I'll go pack up the things we'll need later. Prepare for the worst and have the tactical T-dolls on standby ready to fight at any moment. We might have a fierce battle."
"This time, we only need to bring tactical T-dolls. Strider and Rukatiye just came back not long ago, so let them have a good rest. I will explain the other 10-year deadline to everyone later, and then send some mentally stable T-dolls to control the situation." Sun Wu gave orders in an orderly manner.
502 Explain to the Dolls
Soon, the dolls received a communication from Sun Yang in their rooms. The content mainly explained the problem of world line shift that would be faced ten years later.
Sun Yang talked about how he was driving the Elmo alone in the wasteland, and how the humanoids were trying to find a way to survive in the falling apart Griffin.
However, Sun Yang did not elaborate on what the humanoids did, where they went, or what they were thinking at the time. If this were revealed, it would inevitably cause disagreements among the humanoids, and those who would appear in the future might be immediately labeled as "traitors" or "ungrateful people."
Ultimately, that was the result of some crazy forced worldline, completely different from the current situation. Sun Yang's base was well built, everyone was living better than before, and those things that happened 10 years later would never happen.
If this information were made public, it would cause divisions among the currently united humanoids...So Sun Yang chose to only talk about the Aimo, and vaguely talked about how the humanoids were forced to find their own ways to make a living.
Pascal and Antonina were also forced by Sun Yang's commander's order: they were not allowed to leave any relevant information except their own mind cloud maps.
Pascal and Antonina are both reliable enough humanoids, so there is no problem in letting them keep this secret.
Why does it feel like the Legion has no secrets? Sun Yang mused to himself after giving orders to Pascal and Antonina. There's no way around it. If this were to expose the Griffin Oasis base, civil war might really break out.
Everyone sincerely supports the commander and this base, but they are fighting over fabricated information. This is something Sun Yang cannot tolerate. He would rather keep this secret forever.
When Sun Yang sent this information out, a heated debate erupted among the humanoids, just as he had anticipated. Most of them immediately felt a surge of anxiety. The thought of being forced into a life of despair in ten years made them restless.
Even humanoids wouldn't appreciate such a drastic decline in their quality of life. Numerous humanoids frantically sent video messages to Sun Yang, while many who had just received gifts locked onto his coordinates and ran towards Sun Yang's location at the base.
Sun Yang had already returned to his command room, waiting for the emotionally excited humanoids to come to him.
"Commander! What the hell is going on? Why would M4's true form be entrusted with such a dream?!"
"Commander! Time waits for no one! Please give the order! I will be the first to rush out and kill all the enemies!"
"Defending Griffin is defending life!"
The headquarters' door was violently flung open. A large group of elite humanoids, armed with laser machine guns, plasma launchers, and electromagnetic rifles, stood at the entrance, shouting and yelling excitedly.
Behind these elite humanoids with astonishing combat power, a large number of Oasis research humanoids and second-tier tactical humanoids stood back and watched. Although they also had many ideas, they simply couldn't compete with these purebred veterans.
"Calm down! All of you calm down! The commander will give us an answer! You are running too fast!" AR Team and Disobedient Team had to stop the people, but the excited elite humanoids didn't take them seriously at all.
"AR Squad! You guys are always eating your own food! Give me a piece of the pie!" MDR mixed in with the elite T-dolls, fanning the flames. The already tense atmosphere at the scene became strange. The surrounding T-dolls all had subtle expressions—it seemed like everyone had some ideas, but they were embarrassed to have them exposed.
"Everyone, please be quiet. The master hasn't finished speaking yet, why are you so anxious? The master told everyone as soon as he knew about this matter, is this the attitude you use to respond to the master? Have a little calmness that a veteran should have." The agent walked out of the command room and spoke slowly. As soon as she opened her mouth, these more excited humanoids regained their composure.
Unlike AK15, the strongest T-doll who was aloof and rarely socialized, the agent, as the head of Griffin Base, would beat up almost every T-doll who got in trouble. Her suit's performance and combat experience were indeed far superior to most of the T-dolls present.
Although the humanoids are very united, there is still an implicit rule: the humanoids will respect individuals with stronger combat capabilities or stronger command capabilities. After all, only stronger and smarter humanoids can help them survive on the battlefield.
The agent, on the other hand, possessed both top-tier combat prowess and command abilities. Simply operating the base around the clock had already put most of the T-dolls outnumbered. Her commands were highly effective, and the T-dolls held her in high esteem.
But it's normal for the humanoids to be so excited. World line shifting is also a very sci-fi thing for the humanoids... Although there are already two people from the Dark Souls world in the base, the humanoids don't seem to think about it in this way, and they rush to Sun Yang to explain.
Soon, however, Sun Yang emerged from the command room, facing a multitude of excited and nervous humanoids. Many of them had expressions that said, "Go kill Yegor now, and world peace will come."
Most of the humanoids present had fought in submarine battles before. Even if they didn't have any deep hatred, they were still somewhat angry.
"Alright, alright, everyone, please be patient. I'm worried about the same things you're worried about. After all, without you, this base wouldn't be this developed. If it were just me, I'd be starving somewhere." Sun Yang pressed his palm down. The humanoids shut up and waited for the commander to speak.
Sun Yang walked out from the AR team and the rebellious team and stood among the humanoids. Everyone looked at him, waiting for what he would say.
"First of all, you should all be familiar with the concept of world lines. Rukatiye, Strider, and I all came from the continent of Dolan Gureg. There, simply throwing a Campfire Explorer into a bonfire can change the world line. Everyone even has their own independent time and space... Unfortunately, the M4's existence is limited, so we can't study the relationship between the Spiral Sword and world line changes."
"But one thing I can guarantee is that the future is not fixed," Sun Yang said, stroking the spiral sword in his hand. "When I return, the so-called future ten years from now will be replaced by me... If you want to know why, look at the souls within your bodies. From the very beginning, all of you have been protected by my soul. You have all long been part of this fantasy world."
"I am the anchor of that world line. Wherever I am, the future of that place will be fixed. Unless I don't go there in 10 years. And all of you humanoids will follow me forward, without leaving any behind. You will witness the new world with me. Do you understand?"
Sun Yang's rather mystical and childish speech calmed the humanoids down. He simply let everyone know that he was in charge of this matter, and that they should just follow his lead.
"Since you are all so indignant, I will use you without hesitation. Tomorrow I will select a group of humanoids to go to the Advanced War World to deal with some problems. Remember to set aside time and wait for orders."
"Are we finally going to enslave that world? The comic author I'm reading keeps giving me the crap. I want to throw that guy in jail and not let him out until he finishes revising the story," a rifle-wielding figure nearby asked. It seemed some figures' ideology had slipped quite a bit recently.
"The commander would never do such a thing!" the righteous RO shouted angrily from behind.
No, do you think I'm some kind of emperor at the end of the century? Sun Yang complained in his heart.
"Even if I conquer it, what will I use to manage that world? The OGAS system is not mature yet... What's the point of always snatching other things? You know, relying on trade is much easier than occupying territory." Sun Yang tapped the humanoid's head, making her restrain her thoughts.
503 Re-contact with Atlas
After completing his preparations, Sun Yang joined a carefully selected team. This team was ostensibly composed of a medical and security team, but in reality, aside from a medical T-doll named "Floren," the rest were tactical T-dolls equipped with state-of-the-art electronic warfare modules. Even with the weapons these T-dolls possessed, they were more than capable of wiping out the entire Atlas subbase.
Floren is a very capable medic, but compared to the PA15, she's much less skilled in combat, relying solely on a pistol.
As the spiral sword swung, Sun Yang once again felt the sensation of a flushing toilet, and then in the blink of an eye he arrived at a highly automated base.
The base was crammed with automated cannons and drones, leaving no room for maneuver. Atlas regularly rotated a small team stationed a few kilometers away, their primary duties being to deliver the T-dolls' orders to the base's gates or to greet tactical T-dolls emerging from the base ready for missions. Considering the frequency of the missions, the work was quite relaxing, almost like a vacation.
After all, no one was allowed to enter the base. After Atlas employees drove the express to the base gate, Griffin's drone automatically transported the packages inside. Of course, there were some goods equipped with eavesdropping devices or positioning beacons, but Sun Yang directly transported these things away, completely destroying the positioning and eavesdropping signals.
This was the base where Irons had promised to regularly deliver supplies long ago, and it was also the location where the tactical dolls first arrived. Because Atlas Corporation had many dangerous and troublesome missions, they needed the tactical dolls to participate and reduce the casualties of the soldiers.
Although Irons, the boss of Atlas, had asked these humanoids to carry out missions such as killing traitors, he never told them why they did so - the humanoids didn't bother to ask the reasons and just fought. This went on for a long time, and whenever there was trouble within Atlas, he would send the humanoids out.
Of course, the T-dolls didn't ask because they didn't need to. They could just use hacking to get the tactical data. Going over to ask was unnecessary.
"The last time I came here was before I went to the Fallout world. When I think about it, it's been a long time. I wonder if that old Bidan Ains still remembers me." Sun Yang touched the metal wall next to him and summoned a car.
"He won't forget. We still receive steel resources regularly. But we didn't make any reservations... Is that okay, Commander?" M4 swiftly jumped into the car and started the engine. The other humanoids took their seats.
"M4 is no longer the same as he was before. He's constantly asking me for help, and he's becoming increasingly dependent on me... I'd love to say this isn't a good thing, as relying on someone else's combat capabilities isn't a good thing. It shows he's truly powerless... But from my perspective, and that of Griffin Oasis, it's best if he relies on me more, or I won't ask for too much."
"He won't reject me, at most he'll be a little surprised. After all, it's been such a long time, and apart from sending tactical T-dolls, there has been basically no communication between us. It's like in some RPG games, where many favorability events have been done, but the character hasn't entered the next event yet... Well, this metaphor seems a bit weird?" Sun Yang rubbed his chin.
"Commander... could it be that you're not just gay, but also into the kind of suave, dashing, and unrestrained 60-year-old men?" M4 cast a dangerous glare at Sun Yang. She could tolerate infidelity with other humanoids, but this one was the only one she couldn't tolerate.
"Why do you still suspect I'm gay? Just watch me torment this old Biden." Sun Yang grabbed M4's smooth thigh. M4 pursed her lips, turned her head and kissed Sun Yang stealthily.
"Troublesome... is that what I mean?" Floren, burdened with a heavy responsibility, felt no psychological pressure at all. She wasn't very good at fighting, but she had plenty of experience in handling medical issues.
"Ahem, be serious. Stop talking about homosexuality. It's annoying to hear." Sun Yang forcefully interrupted the humanoids' gradually declining topic.
"It was the Commander who started it..." RO muttered from the back. But Sun Yang decisively ignored it. As long as I'm thick-skinned enough, there won't be any problems.
Soon the vehicles drove along the road to Atlas' forward base. The defenders carried out inspections and verified the tasks with ease. They had done similar things many times and were no longer surprised.
"Sorry everyone, we haven't received any combat missions. Is there a communication error?" the Atlas defenders asked as they scanned the vehicle. The scan revealed an extra person in the vehicle.
The guard pretended to scratch his butt and pressed the secret alarm button hidden on the side. Then he continued to ask calmly, "Did something go wrong? This has never happened before. I think this is a coincidence."
"That was indeed an accident," Sun Yang leaned forward and looked at the Atlas soldier, who looked calm. "Do you know me? Did your boss tell you anything?"
The soldier looked at the strange man, and a host of questions suddenly filled his mind. Where did this guy come from? And he wasn't even a robot. Why was there this person among the female robots? Could he be their commander?
The soldier could only shake his head quickly. He had a premonition that he might die here today.
These humanoids, these terrifying killing machines, wouldn't even take half a minute to kill him... She could snap her own neck with just one hand! The soldier looked at the M4 sitting in the driver's seat and subconsciously wanted to take a few steps back.
"Go report the situation here to Irons... If you can't do it, go find your superiors, don't dither. In short, just tell him: Sun Yang is here, please make time for everyone to meet. We'll just sit in the car and rest up, so as not to cause any trouble. And don't get so nervous that you accidentally fire the gun. Hello, I'm fine, everyone, OK?"
"I understand, Mr. Sun Yang..." The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran back to talk a lot into the walkie-talkie.
"Ah...it feels so good to show off." Sun Yang sat down again and waited quietly for news from Atlas.
At this point, Sun Yang wasn't worried about Atlas doing anything strange. After all, the electronic technology in this world was completely suppressed by the humanoids, so no matter how powerful the armor was, it would be useless.
"Ayang, are you saying you want to take over all the armored forces here? These pieces of equipment... seem to have networking capabilities, but their protection is relatively weak. If we take all of them, we won't have any trouble defeating Yegor, let alone overturning the entire New Soviet fleet."
AR15 scanned the surroundings and immediately discovered that all the surrounding armored units were, to varying degrees, network-enabled. Atlas had always prided itself on its advanced technology, but that advancement also meant... being easily outmatched by even more advanced units. If the area was filled solely with WWII tanks, or completely offline, the humanoids wouldn't be easy to defeat.
The armor and weapons manufactured by Atlas Corporation are still a bit behind those in the Girls' Frontline world. After all, there are no mysterious things like the Field Shield here.
But the problem is that Atlas is a global company and its production lines were hardly destroyed, and the New Soviet Union... at most, including East Germany, only has land from after World War III.
The available land area and number of factories between the two countries were completely different. Even if the new Soviet Union spent a lot of time to recover, the number of armored vehicles was far less than before the war.
If Sun Yang could take all of these into his hands through electronic warfare and integrate them for a while, he would have a chance to crush his opponents.
"Don't worry, we can wait a little longer." Atlas, the fruit, had been growing for a while, but it wasn't ready for harvest yet. He still needed more effort from Ains's research team. Once they had more mature technology ready, he would come back and take what was needed.
The current situation is that there is a problem with Ains, the core of Atlas. Sun Yang must come and solve this problem so that this fruit can continue to develop healthily.
Just as Sun Yang expected, the soldiers returned in a hurry. He immediately asked Sun Yang and his team to go to the helicopter pad. They would meet with Ains in Baghdad, the center of Atlas' corporate empire.
However, only Sun Yang could meet. The others had to wait outside. Sun Yang didn't mind this request. Atlas's light weapons were no match for him. If the weapon's power or kinetic energy wasn't high enough, killing a powerful undead would be incredibly difficult. Even a bullet to the head wouldn't work; Sun Yang wasn't adding health bars for nothing.
I hope things don't get to the point of a life-or-death struggle. Irons, the boss of Atlas, is a smart man and won't let things get so awkward.
Sun Yang and his accompanying humanoids walked through the base and headed towards the helipad, where an Atlas' latest stealth helicopter was ready for guests to board.
504 Irons is old
In less than two hours, the helicopter brought Sun Yang and his humanoid team to Baghdad. A few years after the battle with the US military ended, this place had been transformed by Atlas into a huge modern city.
But this is Ains's home base, so it must be well-built. Although Sun Yang sometimes overlooks it, he suddenly remembered that this city seemed to belong to Iraq. What happened to this country?
So, Sun Yang, bored out of his wits, checked the news and soon found out. This city...or rather, the country of Iraq, no longer existed. Now, this place was called "Atlas Multinational Corporation," and its territory expanded beyond the original Iraqi territory and encompassed some nearby areas.
It felt like a prequel to the cyberpunk worldview. As the instigator of this situation, Sun Yang felt a little guilty.
Forget it, I'll have the dolls download and analyze the database here before making a decision. If that old man Ains messes up, then Sun Yang doesn't mind choosing an agent or successor for him.
With some strange thoughts in mind, Sun Yang's helicopter landed in front of the airport at Atlas headquarters.
"Ayang, I've detected a mixed mechanized force of several thousand men advancing this way. They're equipped with a large number of drones and twenty advanced tanks." AR15 secretly communicated.
"Don't worry." Sun Yang touched AR15's hand. While the humanoids were deeply concerned about their commander's safety, Sun Yang could honestly ignore it unless Atlas dropped bombs on their city or launched a few nuclear missiles. The humans here hadn't developed any psychic abilities, so tanks alone wouldn't be enough to defeat Sun Yang.
After the helicopter landed safely, a large group of welcoming personnel immediately came to greet them. However, standing behind these welcoming personnel were more than a hundred Atlas warriors wearing powered exoskeletons and AST powered armor. They looked quite nervous.
[They're still using exoskeletons and AST? And the designs look like they're just basic improvements.] RO has the illusion that the locals haven't developed technology.
[The weapon's update speed isn't that fast anymore. Don't compare us to humans here.] AR15 had participated in several Atlas missions before, so she was quite familiar with the skills of the combatants here. A few years alone wouldn't be enough to bring the weapon up to the next level.
"Hello, Mr. Sun. Our boss is waiting for you in the reception room. Please hand over the weapons carried by your entourage to us for safekeeping." The receptionist smiled politely.
"I'm going to see Ains alone. You just need to arrange a place for the others to rest. Oh, by the way, this little guy has to follow me, and you can check the things in the box at will." Sun Yang didn't make things difficult for this guy.
"Really, we don't need to follow?" M4 asked softly. Acting should be done in full.
"Iens is my old friend and we have worked together for a long time. Floren, show them the box." Sun Yang said as he took a large box from the humanoid beside him.
Irons's understanding of Sun Yang's combat prowess was still stuck in the past. He estimated that Sun Yang possessed only a few inexplicable high-tech skills and the ability to utilize advanced stealth techniques. If he knew that Sun Yang could now blow up a small building with a single shot of his Sunlight Gun and tear apart humans under machine gun fire, he would never let Sun Yang near Atlas headquarters.
The fact that he was acting like this now only meant that Irons believed he could control the situation.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The professionally trained reception staff quickly arranged for the dolls to rest and stay. An inspection of the suitcase revealed no explosives or gunpowder residue.
"Your cane?" The receptionist looked at the spiral sword in Sun Yang's hand. It didn't look like a weapon at all when it was stuck on the ground.
"It's just a metal cane." Sun Yang also threw it over for testing. There was no interlayer, it was a pure metal cane.
After passing through several inspections and security measures, Sun Yang and Floren finally arrived at the reception room. The room was very clean, with a sofa and coffee table, and the security was the same.
In the depths of the reception room, a familiar figure was sitting there, handling various new and unexpected situations. He slowly raised his head after hearing the door open.
"...Sun Yang?" He raised his head, his voice tired and a little hoarse. The person sitting there was Irons.
Compared with previous years, Irons's image has changed a lot. His hair has become gray, his face is full of wrinkles, and some age spots have also appeared on his face.
His eyes had become cloudy, years of toil draining his energy. Although Irons was indeed talented and capable, he still had to bow to physiological functions. He was not one of those who only cared about food, drink, and entertainment. Managing this multinational company had exhausted him mentally and physically.
"Yes, it's me. You look much more disheveled than before, Ains. You were much more energetic when you declared war at the UN General Assembly. I still like the spirited you." Sun Yang sat carefree on the sofa, picked up the glass of water on the table and drank it all in one gulp. He drank it, because Sun Yang didn't think anything could poison him.
"You haven't changed at all, you've even become more energetic?" Irons stared at Sun Yang, and in a trance, Irons felt that he was not facing a human, but some other kind of existence. His vitality was very strong.
Irons was a man of keen insight. Even though he didn't possess any extraordinary powers, he still inferred many details from Sun Yang's behavior and tone. He could clearly sense that Sun Yang didn't take the people here seriously at all.
This didn't make sense. Although he had collaborated with Sun Yang's humanoid mercenaries many times, the two sides hadn't formally communicated for a long time. They relied on a tacit understanding to communicate.
Ains provides scheduled building materials and express delivery services, and Sun Yang provides tactical humanoid mercenaries, that's all... To be honest, Ains really wants the technology of those humanoids, but those humanoids are too strong, and if the battle situation is not right, they will directly self-destruct, so he will get nothing.
