I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

We haven't even finished figuring out the invisibility cloak from the previous world, and you're already bringing in a bunch of even stranger things for us to delve into and reverse-engineer. Professor, would you mind checking how long we've been here?

"We can study this slowly. There's no rush. The only lively things are the ghosts. The others are just ordinary technological products." Sun Yang said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Professor, please don't send any more live samples for a month. We're already short-staffed. And everyone... is a little troubled. Since it was the professor who sent it, no one said anything."

"For so long, the only things delivered to us have been corpses or body parts. Everyone's used to it. No one at Oasis is prepared for something moving. Those Saturn knives need to be individually packaged. It's such a mess at the scene. Those knives severed the arms of many intelligent entities, and now they're all back for repairs." Pascal said seriously.

Well, although it sounds like criticism, this attitude is correct. You can't just laugh it off. If there is a problem, you must explain it immediately. I am so lucky to have such a serious and responsible wife.

Sun Yang corrected his attitude and said that next time he would explain in advance what the transported items were. He was indeed a little too proud of himself this time.

"I understand. If there are any more demons, I'll tie them up first, or I'll pack them up with something from my place and send them to you. But I still need to sort the supplies into categories, is that a problem?"

"As long as they don't send more ghosts over here, it'll be fine. Hey, just now some ghosts picked up their knives and were ready to chop people... Luckily, we have tactical figures and drones here to stabilize the situation." Pascal sighed and ended his complaints to Sun Yang.

The messy transport area was quickly cleared thanks to the efforts of Griffin and the Oasis humanoids. While Sun Yang was moving quickly, several ghost-men, due to their aggressive movements, had their arms crushed by the humanoids' excessive force, damaging their hazmat suits. These were relocated to the corpse area for further research.

All in all, the area has been cleaned up for now. Some humanoids and AIs found repairs too troublesome and simply replaced them with rune prosthetics. There are more humanoids with one or two cool arms in Griffin and Oasis.

Sun Yang slightly modified the transport process, sending some drones carrying cutting tools out to search for the source of the red fog. Sun Yang still hoped to take the red fog machine with him. Whether he could figure out any special tricks was a minor issue; the main concern was the significant impact the red fog would have on detection. Furthermore, it might actually be harmful to humans.

In short, these things cannot be passed down to those who come after us. None of them should be left behind.

Don't ask, the question is about the Super Brotherhood, which is comparable to the Enclave. The dangerous technology is really too dangerous (repeat). If you allow these things to be upgraded and used randomly, or let the wastelanders with no technological thinking misuse them, they will sooner or later kill themselves.

In short, let's collect all these things and study them slowly before we talk about other things.

You say you want to share technology with the wasteland? What a joke! No way, absolutely not. I'm not some kind of do-gooder. Just look at this red mist, the vending machines, the holographic security guards, the Saturn alloy. If any one of these gets their hands on something, the wasteland's population will be halved in a few months.

Sun Yang never dared to overestimate the morality of the Wasteland Organization. Even if some people were willing to abide by the rules and act properly, the upper echelons of the major forces would definitely be unable to restrain their desire to use them. This was determined by their position.

Could they resist using a convenient technology like Red Mist to face an enemy attack? Or could they resist using holographic security to deal with a disloyal subordinate? You use it, I use it, and soon the entire gang is doomed. Anyone who survives won't be able to modify the program, and they won't be able to stay in the place they hold.

During this waiting time, Sun Yang brought some reclining chairs, game consoles, and novels and comic books to Team 404 to keep them from getting too bored. He couldn't really let them just stand there and play with their fingers forever, could he?

The drone's detection efficiency is quite high. The first thing Oasis discovered was the unique magnetic properties of the Saturn alloy table knife.

The specific terminology is rather complicated, but Chuchen from Oasis Geological Exploration and Max, who is responsible for electromagnetic research, have already figured out the characteristics of these metals.

They uploaded this data to the drone's search radar. As long as the power was amplified, they could dig deep into the ground and dig out all the metals that met the characteristics in the casino.

I remember it being a special technique for mineral exploration, something Sun Yang didn't know much about. After all, he wasn't a scientist—his main responsibility was to ensure the scientific team could function normally.

About an hour later, all the metal from the casino's perimeter had been recovered. Some of the table knives, seemingly from prolonged use, were rusted. Sun Yang inspected the less durable knives and used a repair spell to brighten them. He then found a large box filled with foam plastic, neatly arranged the knives, and carefully transported them to another world.

This time, I didn't hear the noisy chatter of the Oasis humanoids.

As for the source of the red fog, according to the report sent back by the drone, there were pipes of all sizes nearby, and the red fog was spreading outward through the complex ventilation system during construction.

No wonder the red mist began to spread when workers were building the ventilation system. From the outset, the red mist was intended to be released into the air using the ventilation ducts throughout the casino.

If it weren't for the fact that this red fog settles and spreads slowly, there would probably be no living creatures in the Mojave Desert now.

The source of the red mist was most likely in the underground part of the casino. Only there could the red mist production machine be shut down properly.

After understanding everything and thoroughly cleaning the outside, Sun Yang called up Team 404, who had not rested for long. He was going to prepare to open the casino.

140 Preparation

Even after all this time, Sun Yang still has a vivid memory of the casino opening sequence. There's no real reason for this, it's simply because the Dead Money DLC was so awful, it's hard not to remember it vividly.

Although he couldn't remember many details, he still knew what the main plot was.

The Sierra Madre's owner had somehow gone mad, tying the grand opening to a grand celebration. So, if you wanted to open the casino normally and enter, you had to activate the celebration.

This cannot be done by one person, but Sun Yang just happens to have a 404 team available for dispatch.

"Send the drone to control the switches for the grand celebration. Well, when the lights flicker here, they might draw out any hidden demons. Remember to bring your drone and grenades. The door to the distribution station may be locked, but it's not very strong and can be pried open with bare hands. There's a picture next to the distribution box."

Sun Yang reminisced about his travels. 45 and 9 stared blankly at him, chattering away like a charlatan about information he hadn't even discovered.

"The image shows the sequence of switches you need to flip to deliver power to different areas of the town, including the lighthouse. The drone operator will then just follow the instructions on the image. Elijah should have figured that out, but he's only one person and can't do so many things simultaneously."

Team 404 nodded. There was a supply box next to them, and they were taking ammunition and grenades from it. The supply box contained all the supplies Team 404 needed.

"Also, I just remembered that the red mist will corrode metal. Don't you feel anything? I remember that thing will make metal rust quickly?" Sun Yang asked.

Sun Yang noticed the red fog's corrosive effect on metals when he saw noticeable rust on the surface of a drone sent to investigate the source of the red fog. Drones shouldn't rust so quickly; the red fog could only be to blame.

Sun Yang's fully enclosed power armor hadn't been in the red fog long enough to notice this detail. Now that I think about it, the description of the Saturn alloy table knife said that these knives had been immersed in the red fog for two hundred years, and only a little rust had appeared.

At the time, I thought it was impressive that it hadn't broken down after two hundred years. Now that I know the effects of the Red Mist, the gold content of this Saturn alloy has increased. In a sense, this is also a box stacking.

"I've realized this a long time ago. We can't rely on you to remind us of everything, can we? You underestimate us too much. Lack of intelligence and intelligence errors are not new things. Even the commander can't think of everything. To be honest, I was relieved when you made mistakes. Making mistakes and errors is what humans are like. If you could know all the information in advance, I would doubt what kind of person you are." 45 shrugged, indicating that he knew it a long time ago.

"That red fog looks like rust, which easily leads to the problem of metal corrosion. There is also a trace amount of red fog in the air here, but our body is strong enough. In the red fog area, the ventilation system is closed, and there will be no problem if you just stay in it for a short time. Our artificial skin is not metal, so the corrosion effect is not obvious." 416 said, pulling his face.

"Oh! I see!" G11 suddenly realized something. "Those ghosts must have had their metal parts of their hazmat suits corroded, causing the people inside to inhale the red mist. I was wondering why all the ghosts were wearing hazmat suits. Another mystery solved."

"Hmm? Maybe that's really the case. It's good that you're aware of it. Report any problems with the body in a timely manner." Sun Yang reminded them and continued to assign tasks.

"Next, the nearby PA equipment needs repair, mainly due to cabling issues. Well, there happen to be drones nearby that have been on standby after removing the holographic terminals. We just need to connect them and inspect them..."

Sun Yang mentally crossed out another task. Originally, Elijah, who was short-staffed, had to resort to swindling and scamming people to get these jobs done. But for Sun Yang, armed with a multi-functional drone, this wasn't a problem.

"There's a power regulator nearby. Over here at the Oasis..." Sun Yang looked around to see who else was free at the Oasis base. It was clear Antonina was lying in bed, doing nothing. The technology Sun Yang had sent over clearly had nothing to do with her.

"Antonina, are you free?" Sun Yang called Antonina.

Antonina in the window jumped up with a start, looking a little excited, and it took her a long time to calm down.

[Professor of the Commander-in-Chief, is there anything I can ask you?] Long green hair appeared on the screen, and behind the hair was a serious-looking face.

"Oh, that's right. I do have something I want to ask you for help with." Sun Yang explained to Antonina what he still remembered.

The main problem at the Madre Casino was the severe damage to the power transmission system. However, repairing the power system in the red fog was too difficult.

So originally, after Elder Elijah had done his best to repair what he could, he determined that at least four people were needed to complete the task.

"I need you to fly a drone to the casino's power management system. The system is located in a rather harsh environment and requires someone with sufficient expertise. After much deliberation, I think you're the only one who can handle this."

"Okay, alright. Sounds like something only I can do. Leave it to me." Antonina accepted the drone job without hesitation.

"Finally, we'll activate the fireworks for the grand opening at the clock tower. There's a grand opening control console on the highest clock tower here. As long as everything is done in the correct order and the console is activated, the grand opening ceremony will proceed smoothly. I'll also send a drone over here."

"Yeah." Team 404 continued listening, and then saw Sun Yang stand up and stretch his body.

"And then?" 416 pressed. Why was his commander still keeping things in suspense?

"That's all. Let's just wait here. After the ceremony starts, we can just go in," Sun Yang said seriously. "I must explain everything to you clearly before the plan begins, right? I'll do my best to explain everything clearly. I'm not a riddle teller."

"416 means, what is the mission of our 404 team?" 45 felt that the current situation was somewhat ridiculous.

"I told you, come in with me. Collect, fight, lend a hand, whatever. Oh, it's so great to have you guys here. Those teammates in the original game couldn't do this or that. You had to do everything, like you had no hands or feet. They relied on me to find them food, holographic security, and remote terminals. It's not like now, where I can just fly a bunch of drones and solve problems without having to worry about their expressions."

Sun Yang said this while pointing at the unconscious people behind him. 416 couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"Commander still has such a messy memory?" She covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

"That's all in the past." Sun Yang waved his hand and checked the positions of the drones in the window, making sure they were all in place.

"Let's get started! The Madre Casino will have its grand opening today!"

141 Entering the casino, but found that the method was wrong

Boom——bang——!

The sound of a salute echoed from afar. If it were a wastelander, they would probably have panicked and crouched down somewhere.

But for Sun Yang, who comes from a country with a deep culture of setting off firecrackers, this sound is particularly familiar and pleasant to the ear.

This kind of firecracker sound was quite common when he was a child, but after growing up, he rarely heard the sound of firecrackers exploding next to his ears.

Sun Yang's gaze passed the building shrouded in red mist and looked towards the center of the entire Madre region.

There, a building shrouded in red mist for over two hundred years stood. And over two hundred years late, a colorful salute was finally fired into the sky.

The salute group looked sparse, and in the end only more than 30 were fired into the sky, which scattered into sparks in the sky after a burst of "pop" sounds.

Perhaps the original ceremony was more ornate and elaborate, but after all, a salute, no matter how well preserved, cannot withstand the test of time.

Amidst the sporadic roar of cannon fire, the casino's various facilities were unlocked, and Sun Yang collected the drones and supply boxes that had completed their missions. He pushed the door open and walked carelessly into the casino with the 404 figure.

Climbing the stairs, the century-old casino gate was right in front of them. Sun Yang pushed it open, and Team 404 passed through from behind, stepping into the casino, weapons raised, and searching around.

The casino was still dark, with no one responsible for adjusting the power supply. Only emergency lights illuminated the doors and stairs. But even so, it was clear that the casino was made of rich materials and was extremely luxurious.

Ah, that's the feeling, the feeling of a big boss pushing open the door and his men rushing in to control the scene. It's so impressive. Even though there's no one here. Sun Yang thought complacently.

However, 45 stared at the interior of the casino cautiously. Her search module was always on, focusing on searching for electronic signals around her.

When they walked in, 45's module immediately detected a large number of signals being activated.

"Something's wrong!" 45 raised the submachine gun in his hand, and the surrounding 404 team immediately moved at the speed expected of a tactical humanoid.

9和G11把孙阳连动力装甲一起扑到外面，而UMP45和416则朝黑暗之中开枪，那些接受到电信号的单位被45标记出来，416和45立刻朝那些方向开火。

The hollow-point bullets and high-speed bullets seemed to hit something, and a pile of parts fell to the ground.

[Electronic signal activity! Attention, enemy fire!] UMP45 quickly communicated on the channel. Sun Yang also reacted and found a place to squat at the door.

Team 404 had no idea what strange things were in the casino, but as humanoids, they were fully capable of detecting anomalies in dim environments.

Something shot out from the air. 45 and 416 adjusted their vision modules and saw a dozen tiny flying needles on the ground.

"Commander, take this back for testing." 45 reached out and grabbed a few of the needles. More needles hit her hand—but it was useless. Something designed to deal with humans wouldn't be much use against a tactical T-doll.

"Panaxia. Find one of your apprentices." Sun Yang immediately contacted the Oasis pharmacist who was seriously dissecting the ghost's corpse.

[Hmm! Okay, okay.] Panacea didn't interact with Sun Yang much, and she was a little nervous when she received the call. Fortunately, Panacea's hands didn't shake with emotion, so the demon corpse she was dissecting and her protective suit weren't damaged.

[45, this is the entrance to the casino. Theoretically, the patrons here are either wealthy or noble, and wouldn't use high-powered weapons. This is probably a tranquilizer or a stun gun. It's effective on humans, but not on us.] 416's eyes scanned the casino. The needle-firing transmitters were well hidden. While he could find the source of the signal, his weapon wasn't very effective.

Her vision module was already among the best, but some things were too difficult to accomplish. After all, not everyone had the Snow Wolf Eye.

Although the rebellious team said that everyone can pretend to have the Snow Wolf Eye, it doesn’t matter.

But in reality, no one would choose to install that thing. There's no reason, it's just too much of a burden on the overall system, and the equipment has no compatibility. Not only civilian T-dolls, but even military T-dolls can't install it.

After all, the Snow Wolf Eye was designed specifically for the Rebellious, and it would be too difficult for other humanoids to equip it. Unless Dr. Xiao was pulled out and asked to make a castrated and shrunk version of the Snow Wolf Eye that was compatible.

After Sun Yang handed the flying needle to the apprentice pharmacist, he immediately performed a chemical analysis and found that it contained a fast-acting anesthetic. The dosage was small, only enough to subdue one person. Sun Yang immediately synchronized these messages.

[So, these are the security systems? I say, why not just go into the security room and disable them?] 416 stood up, eager to try.

"Leave this matter to the drone. If you go inside, the casino system may raise the threat level, and the hidden holographic security guards may be taken out to shoot you." Sun Yang once again asked Antonina to operate a drone to find the surrounding security terminals.

Several square-headed, double-tracked robots emerged from inside the casino. These robots were not armed and only tried to take away the weapons of Team 404.

The result was that he was directly hacked into and shut down by 45, and then thrown back to the base warehouse by Sun Yang with a score of +1.

The Madre Casino's security system does not use the holographic technology of the Great Mountains, but simply has a detection system to determine whether there are any contraband and non-casino items.

After further confirmation, the casino will send a robot to collect the contraband and deposit it back to the person’s residence through formal procedures.

"What if we put our weapons away?" G11 asked.

"No, we're already contraband. Our metal bodies are more dangerous than pistols." 416 said helplessly.

[The all-clear has been given. But I took a quick look around, and there's not a single living person here, just a bunch of holographic security devices—or are they holographic waiters? They're essentially the same thing. I think we need more programming experts here.] Antonina's communication came through.

[Eh? Then can we go back and rest?] G11 immediately thought of touching it.

"You'll have to see the commander's opinion, but we should definitely fight the actual enemy." 416 agreed that without an enemy, Squad 404 wouldn't be of much use here.

"I'll have to trouble you all for a little while longer. Antonina, find a few more T-dolls with good programming skills and have them operate the drones. Team 404, split up and conduct reconnaissance missions." Sun Yang realized that the casino itself might be even more detailed than the original game. It would be better to have the T-dolls take the lead.

142 Explore Casino

"Honestly, I've always dreamed of robbing a casino. With an automatic weapon in hand, surrounded by a bunch of underlings armed with Chicago typewriters, I'd fire into the casino, disrupting the scene, killing the gangsters and leaving them bleeding profusely, and then run away with all the money, laughing wildly."

Sun Yang squatted at the door, watching with eager eyes as Team 404 and the drone formation swiftly shuttled through the casino's interior. They rewrote the terminal commands, disabling the active holographic security guards, and then brazenly took away all the technological gadgets and delivered them to Sun Yang via small drones.

"Commander, it was you who came to this godforsaken place. These traps are fine against humans, but you're overthinking them against us. Even if I put this lousy gun to my head and pulled the trigger, it wouldn't work." 416 casually dismantled a gun trap, broke off the barrel, and tossed it aside.

"There's a lot of technology here. It would be a waste not to take it. This place was originally quite dangerous, but how should I put it, the danger is based on four points: red fog, traps, ghosts, and collar bombs. Without these elements... this place is just a simple ruin." Sun Yang had no choice.

Team 404 took a thorough tour of the casino, its interior gleaming with gold and brilliance, untouched by a speck of dust, and the luxurious theater on the same floor.
