“Commander, how did Lucy end up like this?” After Lucy was pulled out of the trash pile, the excitement in her eyes quickly dimmed, as if she was in despair.
‘This robot is really full of emotions…’
Zhou Chen couldn’t help but think inwardly. Then, he said to the seriously damaged robot, “Don’t be sad, Lucy. Just answer me a few questions and I’ll figure out a way to fix you.”
“Alright! Commander! Lucy will definitely answer your questions properly!”
For some reason, Lucy kept calling Zhou Chen Commander. It made Zhou Chen think of the games he had played in his previous life.
“First question, Lucy. Do you know what’s happening in this world? Why are there so many monsters?”
“Commander, why are you asking this? Is this a test for Lucy? Reporting to Commander, it’s the apocalyptic pollution that caused the world to change ten years ago. Everything we do is to let humans return to glory…”
Soon, Zhou Chen learned the basic information about this world from Lucy.
It turned out that this world had suddenly encountered unknown pollution ten years ago, which was the apocalyptic pollution that Lucy had mentioned. The apocalyptic pollution caused a large number of creatures to die or mutate. Only a small number of people were not affected, and the prosperous human society quickly collapsed.
At the same time, due to the large number of mutated creatures, the survivors encountered various difficulties in rebuilding their civilization. Highly intelligent robots like Lucy were thus created to clear the various monsters in the polluted area.
‘I see. This world is really an apocalyptic world.’ Zhou Chen believed Lucy’s words because he had some speculations when he obtained the Apocalyptic Resistance passive skill.
“Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to fix you,” Zhou Chen then assured Lucy.
“By the way, how much energy do you have left?” Zhou Chen asked.
“Commander, Lucy is in a bad state. There is a serious lack of power. I can only be active for ten more minutes.”
“Hmm… Then tell me some information about the nearby areas and switch yourself off to save power.”
Zhou Chen then obtained information about the surrounding area from Lucy. Although Lucy did not know much about the surroundings due to the damage to her body and her previous hibernation, she knew more than the outsider, Zhou Chen. At the very least, she knew about some large settlements that would not change easily.
A minute later, Lucy fell asleep after telling Zhou Chen some key information; she looked like she was completely dead.
‘It seems like she really went into hibernation. Does she trust me that much?’ Zhou Chen did not know why Lucy trusted him so much, but for the sake of his promise, he would do his best to repair her.
After Lucy fell asleep, the young man quickly arrived beside Zhou Chen.
Because he had just observed that Zhou Chen’s actions were very abnormal through the binoculars and seemed to be talking to someone in the trash, so he came over to check.
Zhou Chen did not hide the situation he had just encountered. He basically told him everything, making him develop a strong interest in Lucy who was only left with a small half of her body.
“Comrade Li, are you interested in handing this robot to the country?” The young man looked at Lucy with bright eyes and asked Zhou Chen.
“???” Three question marks immediately appeared on Zhou Chen’s head. “Don’t be like this. This Survival mission has just begun. You will definitely encounter better things in the future. Moreover, she is not marked by the system. How are you going to bring her out?”
“Hehe, don’t worry. As long as you’re willing to hand her over, I have a way to bring her back to Planet Blue,” the young man replied confidently.
“Our Dragon Country is currently researching intelligent robots, and such an advanced robot will really help us.”
“Wait, wait, wait! I won’t hand her over!”
“Alright, tell me if you change your mind. The rewards will be rich!” The young man did not give up.
“Let’s head northeast. According to the information I just obtained, there should be a large city area by the river,” Zhou Chen changed the subject.
“How far is it?”
“I’m not sure, maybe about two hundred kilometers,” Zhou Chen replied.
“Are we just going to walk there?” The young man was puzzled.
“Of course not. Let’s wait for a while more. I don’t believe that the people inside this settlement won’t come out.”
Zhou Chen still remembered that the people they saw on the day were from this settlement. They would definitely have a chance if they waited.
Therefore, for the rest of the time, they continued to watch the settlement from afar. It was not until night fell that three jeeps left the settlement.
“There are four people in each jeep, and they are all armed. They seem to be coming for us!”
The young man’s binoculars had night vision features. After observing for a while, he realized that the situation was not good. Instead of them two waiting for the other party, it was more like the other party had been waiting for a chance to capture them.
“It’s okay. With our strength, it’s not difficult to deal with them.” Zhou Chen did not panic. Instead, he ran straight toward the jeeps.
“Lunatic…” The young man’s expression immediately turned ugly. He had been feeling that his teammate was a little rash, but he did not expect him to be so rash as to use his body to fight firearms! Moreover, the opponents were inside vehicles and not in the open!
However, no matter what he thought, Zhou Chen had already charged over. His speed was becoming faster and faster, clearly having activated the Windrun skill.
“The power of firearms should pose some threat to me, but that’s only if you can hit me.” Zhou Chen was very confident in his strength. Although he knew that firearms were dangerous, it had to hit him first.
The jeeps and Zhou Chen were closing in on each other. The people inside the jeeps extended their guns out the windows and began to shoot the charging Zhou Chen.
However, Zhou Chen, who had Dark Vision and Dynamic Vision, could clearly see their attacks. Coupled with his extraordinary speed, he only gave these people enough time to pull the trigger before their heads were exploded by Zhou Chen, who had flashed past more than ten meters away.
Although Zhou Chen was a martial artist, the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art he cultivated was not a pure close combat martial art. A casual release of the Eight Desolates True Energy could kill these natives..
