Anyway, under everyone's watchful eyes, my distant second uncle and his family who had just returned from a trip happily got off the train with their bags …
Cough, cough, cough, all the nonsense about Second Uncle, you'd better get rid of it! Wasn't that the head of state who just returned from the battlefield with glory? Definitely, right?
I was still in a state of dejection as I walked along the pathway in the center of the Mars Sanctuary. Historians had told us that people who failed to act cool would have a headache like this for a long time …
"Well, don't worry about it," Lin Xue patted my shoulder. "That's our image anyway."
"Go away, who's' our 'with you?" I rolled my eyes.
The big sister continued to sigh. "Are you all still children?"
Before I could say anything, the big sister had already entered her second state of dejection. She shook her head worriedly. "I'm just a motherly figure …"
Thus, I began to glare fiercely at the culprit on the other side, a certain super energetic girl who spoke without thinking and relied on her molars to think.
Shallow Shallow was busy discussing with Little Bubble about exchanging her Bubble Candy for Alps Lollipops. She pretended not to see the King's stare.
"How long will it take for this sanctuary to function normally?"
Giving up on trying to free Qian Qian from the world of children, I turned my head and asked Sylves who was following me.
"This Colony Ecosystem is a super adaptable model. It can operate automatically after it is placed on the planet's surface. Its molecular builders can analyze the surrounding planet's environment at an extremely high speed and change the operation of the entire Ecosystem's underground factory system. At the same time, it can build a large number of production bases in the underground cavity of the Ecosystem. This process will only take three days, and the satellite system that is compatible with the Ecosystem will complete multiple scans of the entire planet within twenty-four hours. It will also submit a file that includes resources, climate, and planetary movement patterns to guide the Ecosystem to further self-adjust. This process, including the construction of the underground cavity, will take around seven days.
But if it's just for the refugees to live in, the current conditions are actually more than enough. The colony system has been modified and is equipped with perfect living conditions and a large amount of resources. Basically, they can move in and live at any time. Apart from being a little crowded, the refugees' lives will not be affected at all. "
"Hmm, very good." I nodded in satisfaction. "How are the refugees arranged? How are they doing? "
"According to the emergency shelter rules, we will enter a unified militarized management mode. The shelter residents will be assigned according to their boarding numbers when they left Earth, and all class titles and meanings will be removed." Sives pointed at a huge projection at the end of the corridor that was displaying scrolling information. "Only functional group titles such as' Physical ',' Researcher ',' Combatant ',' Knowledgeable ', and so on will be retained to form a robotic society. The shelter is currently controlled by the main host of the Colony System, an intelligent computer named' Fenon-A6 '. This device equipped with a disaster recovery module will treat humans as inefficient spare parts and assign everyone daily action requirements, allowing the entire civilization to be preserved and developed as much as possible."
"For a race as flexible and creative as humans, this is not a good idea." I shook my head. The method that Sives chose might seem efficient and perfect in the eyes of Schilling, but it only made me think of the Radiation series and the Glimmering City. "It's fine to use this method to stabilize the refugees in the beginning, but as for how to rebuild this civilization — you better listen to Laura's suggestion and Renault's experience. I want to revive humans, not turn them into a twisted race of machines after a few hundred years. I also don't want the 'Fenon-A6' to be smashed into pieces by a group of freedom fighters with wrenches when the ending song is about to play. "
"Yes." Even though he didn't really understand what I said, Sives nodded obediently.
"Oh yeah, Ah Jun." Shallow Shallow, who had successfully swindled candy from Little Bubble, suddenly tugged on my sleeve. "Did we forget something?"
"Forget what?"
I stopped in my tracks, then suddenly felt like I forgot something too.
I rubbed my chin and frowned as I thought hard. Ten minutes later, a flash of lightning flashed across my mind.
"Brat, I haven't eaten yet!"
"Ah Jun, I want to eat too!" As expected, the first one to respond was Sandora. The moment I said the word 'eat', the brat's eyes lit up!
"Eat your ass!" Lin Xue didn't care that I was an injured person and instantly kicked me. "Blockhead, where's that average-sized puppet!?"
I immediately cursed — I almost forgot about that guy! If they were to return to the capital without a second word, although there was no telling if the Rosette girl would starve to death, the Mercury Lamp would definitely use chicken feathers to bury this human civilization that was in a precarious situation before it died of hunger!
"Wait here, I'll go find that brat!"
After saying that, I ran away, leaving behind a bunch of beauties looking in the direction I disappeared in with blank expressions, except for Little Bubble. This brat's reaction speed was really fast. I hadn't even reached eighty miles when she jumped out of her mother's embrace and hung onto my neck.
Three minutes later, I returned.
"Xi Wei, where's Section 163 explosion proof bunker?" I asked with a gloomy expression. Little Bubble, who was hanging onto my neck, turned around and cheerfully greeted everyone.
"My Lord!!" Laura, who had been stimulated by us the entire way, finally reached her limit. The Bible that she used to hypnotize herself had completely lost its effect. A certain seventeen year old archbishop looked up at the sky with a face full of tears. "Everything that happened today, was it your test for me? Please forgive the weakness of your believer, I really can't take it anymore! "
After saying such treasonous words, Laura Stuart turned into a streak of yellow light and headed southwest — — I definitely passed two hundred miles. There were no traffic police in the shelter, if there were, I would have been detained long ago!
After asking for the specific location of a certain explosion proof bunker that was used to 'imprison' puppets, I removed the octopus-like Little Bubble from my neck and stuffed her into my mother's embrace. I also turned into a streak of yellow light and disappeared after two hundred and twenty miles.
"It's here." At a place not far from the city's central function tower, I found my target. It was a gray alloy door that looked like the entrance to an underground pedestrian street. After confirming the highest order, the door that was locked beforehand silently slid open, revealing a downward sloping passage. "Mercury Lamp! Are you there? "
The empty passage echoed with my empty voice. Forget about puppets, there wasn't even a single Barbie doll.
"Mercury Lamp!?" As I called out a certain puppet's name, I quickly ran down the long passage — — My body hadn't recovered yet, and I almost fell because I didn't step properly. "Where are you? Come out, let's go home! "
There was still no response. Looking at the empty bunker hall and the teleportation device that was in standby mode in the middle of the hall, I was shocked. Damn it, she couldn't have really starved to death, right?
Cough cough, I'm spouting nonsense, I'm repenting. In fact, I'm a little hungry myself, I haven't eaten anything yet.
"Strange, where did that fellow go?"
As I wandered around the empty hall, I muttered softly to myself. I had already received a reply when I sent her to this location. The content of the reply was: You bastard! Idiot! Idiot human! Let me out!). She shouldn't have been lost, why isn't there anyone? Could it be that Mercury Lamp used her Feather Metal Storm to pierce through the two-meter thick armor that was entirely made of interstellar alloy and star gold?
… Tsk, what kind of joke is this? It's not like Mercury Lamp studied geology.
Just as I was in a daze, I suddenly heard an air-piercing sound from the back of my head.
There's a situation! Just as this thought flashed through my mind, my body was too weak to react in time. I was already hit by the attacker from behind. The sensation that came from my back accurately told me the size of the other party: A barbie doll that was as tall as Pandora!
"You despicable human! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! You actually left me here alone! You actually dare to come in! " A certain doll firmly locked herself on my back while using the advantage of her size and agility to avoid my attempt to grab her down. "Don't think that I'm easy to bully! Today, I will let you know the power of my first doll, Mercury Lamp! "
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang — —"
As expected, it was Mercury Lamp's most proficient head-bashing. After realizing that all of her attacks were unable to deal any damage to a certain abnormal creature, our extremely powerful and noble first doll treated her unthreatening little claws as her standard weapon. Thinking that any attack would have the same effect, she chose this battle skill that was the most tactile: Mercury Lamp's head 108 times in a row!
If it wasn't for my rock-solid skull, a single Mercury Lamp would have turned me into a Tathagata.
"Hey hey hey! You arrogant doll! Are you trying to assassinate the king! I'll even wipe out your entire family … Hey! You're not allowed to scratch! "
"This is only the first round of punishment!" Mercury Lamp's infuriated voice sounded again. I tried several times, but I was unable to pull this incredibly nimble little doll off my back. Instead, she became even more arrogant. "This time, I'll give you an unforgettable lesson … Ahhh!"
Eh? Ahhh?
Two seconds later, I finally realized what this arrogant doll was doing — a head-biting attack!
"Damn it! Are you born in the year of Sandora, or have you been possessed by that saintess who has read 103,000 erotic books! Even Shallow Shallow, Bubble, and Sandora have never used such a strange attack before! " Although it didn't hurt, Mercury Lamp's sudden head-biting attack had more of a psychological impact. Strictly speaking, it was an attack on my soul. I finally managed to grab hold of a certain tiny head that was fixed to the back of my head, but I didn't dare to use too much strength to injure her. "Let go! I'm injured, hey!"
Without any warning, Mercury Lamp, who was venting her anger, suddenly stopped. Just as I was in a daze, I heard a strange voice from behind me. "Injured? You're … injured? "
"Oh, just a small problem. You should know that Earth's interior was infested with the power of the Chaos Abyss, so I had some trouble destroying it."
A very big problem — a hooligan-like crazy Goddess almost tormented me to death.
I suddenly recalled that Mercury Lamp had been locked in this bunker to prevent her from running around. She couldn't see the 3D blockbuster "Galactic War" that was playing in the sky outside. Not to mention that I was injured, she probably didn't even know that we had just finished a space war.
"Small problem?" Mercury Lamp climbed up to my shoulder and sat down steadily. She climbed onto my shoulder and sat down steadily. She probably didn't even realize when she started to get used to such intimate interactions. "Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"Alright, you're really smart." I rubbed Mercury Lamp's head as though I was coaxing a child. I hurriedly retracted my hand before she hit me out of habit. "We had a large-scale battle with the enemy. In the end, even the Shadow Fortress's Empire Guards came. But don't worry, we won."
"It definitely wasn't that simple!" Mercury Lamp continued to look at me suspiciously. "Even you were injured. It definitely wasn't as simple as a battle, right? Aren't you very powerful? "
"Oh, can I take that as your trust in me?"
I expressed my doubts as I carried Mercury Lamp out of the bunker.
"Hmph —" Mercury Lamp snorted softly and ignored me.
"Alright, alright, the matter here is finally settled." I patted Mercury Lamp's leg that was kicking restlessly in front of my chest. I felt that my interaction with her was getting closer and closer to Little Bubble's. "Let's go home now. Say, do you want to sleep for a while? I put your big chest in my personal space. It seems that you Rose Girls can only recover HP by sleeping in a chest, right? "
"Idiot! Don't use your twisted knowledge to pollute my important chest! "
"Alright, alright, alright … I have to eat something first. You definitely won't believe this. I fought with a God. Back then, Guan Yu had a mouthful of Erguotou after killing Hua Xiong. After I fought with a God, I didn't even have time to drink a mouthful of water. After I woke up, I was dragged out and stood on the stage like an insider. Then, I had to anxiously look for you … Hey, did you hear me?"
There was no movement beside me.
I curiously turned my eyes and looked to the side. What I saw was Mercury Lamp's small face close to mine. She was quiet and gentle. Don't think too much. She's asleep.
She just sat on my shoulder and hugged my head as she fell asleep. What a stable position.
"This girl, she's a little cute when she's asleep."
I wanted to shrug my shoulders, but I was afraid that I would pull her down. In the end, I shrugged the other half of my shoulder as if I was paralyzed. I'm a person full of stubbornness and pain in the ass. The quietness and gentleness that Mercury Lamp showed after she fell asleep was amazing. It was completely different from her usual cold and aloof appearance. Perhaps this was how she was before her personality changed drastically? That gentle, kind, and even somewhat weak Rose Girls first puppet?
Eh, wait, something's not right, right? It seems that Rose Girls can only sleep peacefully in their packaging box … Ahem, the big box. Even the annual limited edition Rose Girls like Mercury Lamp followed this setting. It was a mistake for Rozen not to design a function that allowed them to charge without the need for a charging socket. Hmm, how did Mercury Lamp fall asleep?
This question has been bothering me all the way until we returned to the shuttle parking lot. Mercury Lamp suddenly woke up and started to pull my hair. I still couldn't figure it out. Did Rozen design a "travel charging mode" and "standby power saving mode" for Mercury Lamp?
"Hey, Chestnut, and passersby A, B, and C."
From afar, I saw a small group of familiar figures next to the shuttle parking lot. It was the Seven Roaches from Gakuen. Hmm, there were also the two female police officers that we saved, and the strangers A, B, C, D. Was this the effect of the protagonist's aura? How come the survival rate of the people who knew these Roaches in the original work was so high? Seven billion people died, and only 280,000 of them were left, including the A, B, C, D, and C.
"Sure enough, this is the greeting." Komuro Takashi sighed and held his forehead.
Chestnut of Poison Island said to the passersby next to her with a gloomy face, "I knew it would be like this. No one would have thought that he was the leader of the battle just now."
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but as an 18-year-old high school girl, it's quite rude of you to show such an expression to the leader of the country!
Ahem, in short, my greeting just now completely changed the atmosphere from returning to the train station to saying goodbye to Second Uncle.
"What's your decision?" I looked at the people of Poison Island. "Stay in the Mars Shelter? Or go back to the Shadow Fortress? I have to admit, for ordinary people, these two places are not good places to stay, but the living conditions are definitely good enough, and Jingle has already handled the procedures for you. You can choose whichever place you want to live. "
"I'm staying." The first to answer was the school doctor, Shizuka Jukawa. "My friend is here, and the shelter needs a job as a healer. Living in a Martian city has always been my dream since I was young."
"Er, I didn't expect you to have such a childish dream when you were young." Nan Lixiang's expression became strange.
"We're staying too." This time, it was Komuro Takashi and Miyamoto Rei. "Alice too. Although the conditions in the Mars Shelter might be a little harsh, as expected … I still hope to live in human society. Besides, living here, just like Sensei Ju Chuan said, it might be a life worth looking forward to."
"I want to follow in your footsteps!" Hirano, who finally found a chance to speak, immediately jumped out with a suspicious smile. "I will never forget that scene for the rest of my life! Gunfire and youth, ah, please agree to my request. Let my blood burn in steel and fire … Ugh … "
"Sorry, my hand slipped." Saying such deja vu, Saya Takashiro quietly put away the hammer that only God knew if it had appeared in response to the summoning of the plot. "But we have decided to return to the Shadow City. Our family … is no longer here, and we don't have a sense of belonging in this alien shelter. On the other hand, in the Shadow City, I got to know a few Osaka sisters, so it's not a bad idea to start a new life there."
"Lastly, Poison Island, what about you?"
I looked at Poison Island Chestnut. This girl with a unique temperament had been listening quietly since the beginning. Her face was expressionless, and I couldn't guess what she was thinking at all.
"There's nothing here that I want to miss." Poison Island looked at the companions behind her who had once fought side by side with her, as well as the tall buildings in the distance against the crimson background. "If you don't mind, let me stay by your side. Although my strength is meager, I hope to use my own strength to repay your kindness. The women of the Poison Island family aren't used to owing others favors."
At that moment, two things struck me like lightning. The first hit my brain. I thought of the rogue Goddess Icetis who claimed to never owe anyone anything. The second hit my arm. It was Shallow Shallow's canine teeth …
Will you die if you don't use such ambiguous words?!
