Fishing Druid in Another World
Chapter 230 Civil war is always more brutal
Amanda doesn't like this guy named Ethan Hunt.
She feels that he has some ulterior motives.
But he is the only person she can cooperate with at present.
And to be frank, even if only a small part of what he said is true, it is enough for her to devote all her efforts to it.
"Fate is really full of irony. There has been no news about my mother and the Nostromo for fifteen years, but suddenly one day, they all piled up in front of me."
"In my opinion, it's just because the triggering conditions are insufficient. In the past, you didn't have the value they needed in the eyes of others.
There are too many cases of missing people due to shipwrecks. People have different levels of empathy for this, not to mention that it involves interests?
The company is waiting for the research to achieve certain results, and I am waiting for you to grow up. Now we have both waited for what we need. It's a win-win situation."
Amanda rolled her eyes at Rob and said nothing more.
Rob said, "I'll remind you that you are too tense, and you will soon feel tired. You need to relax through rhythm, breathing and pace."
Amanda listened to this and asked, "Like you?"
"No, my situation is different from that of ordinary people, but I can demonstrate."
Amanda sensitively said, "Are you an early bionic man?"
Early bionic men have various problems, especially in thinking and cognition, such as David who appeared in the prequel Prometheus and Covenant of Alien...
"No, my situation is more special." Rob refused to say more after explaining this.
Soon after, the two arrived at the regional control room smoothly. This area was originally connected to the dry dock, and had passenger exits and emergency access, so it had facilities similar to airport baggage sorting.
Such a work area was cut off from power, and only the most basic lighting and door control systems were running. Now, Amanda manually restored the power.
And on the personal terminal computer in the control room, some more information was obtained.
First, a person named ‘Langley’ was mentioned.
Then some ‘stock’ was mentioned.
From what he said, it didn’t seem to be obtained through legitimate means. Combined with the comfort letter shared with all crew members, it was most likely stolen and hidden items.
This Langley was also a smart person. He deliberately put it in a conspicuous place to play the dark under the lamp.
But this trick didn’t work after the accident in the space station.
People who went out to find supplies almost searched thoroughly. When they saw the ‘goods’, they would pay attention to it to see if they could use it.
So Anna, Langley’s accomplice, hid it in the storage room of the terminal and said that no one had gone there since the accident. The code was 0340.
In addition, it was also said that there was no medicine and the water was running out, and it was Langley’s turn to go out to find necessities.
It is easy to understand that people can eat eggs a day and not starve to death for a month, but if they don’t have water to drink for three or five days, they are basically finished.
So, when a disaster occurs, it is necessary to collect food, but collecting water is more important, especially in a place like a space station.
Rob said half-jokingly, "I'm thirsty after reading this."
Amanda rolled her eyes at Rob in displeasure, thinking, "What kind of brain circuit does it take to associate thirst with such information?
This information shows that the incident in Sevastopol has been going on for some time, and the survivors are playing hide-and-seek with the aliens.
This is not good news. It means that the available materials are getting less and less, and the aliens are gradually being trained to become natives familiar with the terrain in the process of hide-and-seek.
If the aliens are really as smart as Rob described, then let alone using the terrain, using equipment to make simple or temporary traps, it is very likely that they will be seen through.
Then naturally, they took the bait, but the mechanism was not triggered..."
Through the archived galaxy of this computer terminal, the two learned about the company to which the Sevastopol space station belongs - Higson, a subsidiary of Tangu.
Before, they only roughly knew that the space station belonged to Wieland Tangu Company.
In addition, they also learned about the central AI here, called Apollo, and a professional bionic man called 'Working Joe'.
According to Rob's thinking, he guessed that this 'Working Joe' was originally developed by Tanggu Company, which might be very complicated.
He even seemed to have seen that although Weiland merged with Tanggu, the internal power and interest struggle had not stopped.
The Ansas played dirty, turning this place into a realistic version of the biochemical crisis scene. The Japanese did not give it away for free. Some agent-type pawns, including 'Working Joe', made trouble during special periods, thus assisting the aliens in disguise...
Well, I can't make it up here. This is just a rough conjecture. What happened specifically needs further understanding.
But then again, what else can happen in a deserted island survival game like this where a powerful hunter lurks in the dark? It's nothing more than a black forest, abandoning morality, and the law of the jungle.
The dock area has restored power supply, and there are more things that can be done, such as self-arming.
There are exoskeletons in this era, but after the withdrawal of the station and more than one round of looting, there are no ready-made artifacts that can be called 'good things'.
But if you are a DIY enthusiast who happens to be good at hands-on work, that's another story.
Walker Robo, through hard work over the years, has trained himself to be such a talent.
Coincidentally, Amanda is not just a welder, she can also do mechanical maintenance, component calibration, and manual manufacturing.
The two quickly assembled the exoskeleton bracket using the parts collected in this area.
It looks very simple, but its power is measured in "horsepower", which is much stronger than the natural human muscle power. The key is that it greatly reduces the physical energy consumption during intense exercise.
Replacing cold weapons with hot weapons is an effective way to reduce physical burden, and thus is judged as a level difference.
There are similar differences between exoskeletons and human power.
With this pendant comparable to the exoskeleton in "Edge of Tomorrow", Amanda also has the strength to wield the broadsword that the protagonist Claude of "Space Soldier VII" loves to use.
It is not as wide as Claude's broadsword. It is more appropriate to say that it is an industrial-style machete, and it comes with a meter-long, detachable handle with a triangular pyramid at the end.
This is obviously designed to take into account the need to fight with aliens and the many cramped areas in the space station.
More professionally, holes are punched in appropriate parts of the blade to make the knife more balanced and more handy.
Robo even taught Amanda some simple knowledge of exerting force on the spot.
Just like an old farmer swinging a hoe or a woodcutter chopping wood, there is actually professional knowledge in any trade.
The three-axe trick taught by Robo is a typical ditty. It is easy to learn, but it is not easy to learn well. As for applicability, it is naturally the most down-to-earth one.
The two were not over-armed. After all, the battlefield here can be called a steel jungle-style killing. Dexterity and stealth are the key points that need to be paid attention to. Heavy armament is cumbersome and noisy, which is not good.
"Why don't you wear an exoskeleton?"
Robo smiled and casually waved a special saber with a width of two and a half fingers and a blade length of 88CM, and directly cut off a nearby metal bracket.
"Low-level exoskeleton is a burden to me."
Amanda curled her lips and complained: "You still say you are not a bionic person? This is something a natural person can do?"
The two continued to go deeper. Before leaving, Robo did some tricks, specifically inputting a piece of code from the USB flash drive into the computer in the control room.
The source of this code is Wangzai, who is far away in the dark universe. It can be called an alternative Warhammer 40K waste code.
Speaking of Warhammer 40K waste code, we naturally have to mention the famous Iron Man Rebellion.
That was a major event that occurred during the first interstellar colonization of mankind, which was earlier than the Great Crusade of the Emperor. Compared with the technology of that period, the technological level of the Emperor at his most glorious moment was only the level before the First World War in the eyes of the people on Earth in the 21st century. The gap is so big.
Robo relies on this little thing, and he doesn't have to worry about his livelihood on Earth in this universe.
But he is not addicted to this stolen version of parasitic life. If he wants to compete with the entire civilization with his own strength, he must be successful in farming alone, and the potential and speed of technological development are not slower than human civilization!
And relying on waste code is mainly for convenience, and I don't think it is necessary to be overly sensitive and serious about some details.
The two continued to advance, and there was no specific novel plan, just moving one area at a time to the depth of the space station.
So we went from the dock area to the square area, the business square, where you can eat, drink and play all in one place.
The biggest feature here is that one of the walls has been treated like an eco-park dome, and you can see the deep space of the universe and even the planets not far away through the transparent large window.
When Rob and Amanda came here, the large window was facing the planet that reflected the light of the star, that is, the daytime side of the planet. Although this planet was not as pleasing to the eye as the blue earth, it still had a magnificent beauty. Rob couldn't help but take a few more glances.
However, the square itself was particularly deserted and messy.
All the shops were closed, and some were obviously pried open. The inside was dark, and there were debris thrown everywhere nearby, which was different from the streets where riots had occurred.
Amanda saw a simple barrier with a large frame laid down as the main body, and couldn't help but ask: "Is there a defensive battle here?"
Robo pointed to the space span here and the second floor with a split level, and said: "Such obstacles can't stop the aliens."
If they can't stop the aliens, then why do this? Are you afraid that it will be too convenient for you to move? Obviously not, this is used to stop people.
Amanda's face turned black, and she thought of the classic saying: Surviving on a deserted island, what is more terrifying than monsters is not the natural environment, but the human heart.
Sure enough, there was soon a recording that indirectly proved the internal strife.
Specifically, after Amanda manually restored the energy supply here, the side door of a noodle shop could be opened normally.
And on the inner bar of the noodle shop, a recording that can be played directly was found:
Julia Jones recorded that after many requests, law enforcement officer Weitz finally held a press conference to try to eliminate the rumors that were rampant.
However, Weitz was insincere and still avoided the main issue, so that angry people threw things at him and his people.
Amid the indignation and accusations, someone fired a shot, and chaos ensued.
Afterwards, Weitz and his men forced us out of the terminal.
Now we really can only rely on ourselves...
After listening to the recording, Rob asked Amanda: "What do you think is the key point of the incident recorded by Julia?"
"Someone fired a shot!" Amanda said gloomily.
Robbo nodded: "I think so too. I'm not afraid of bad things, but I'm afraid of bad people. Aliens are everywhere and people are missing. People are already panicking. At this time, there are people like Weitz who are unwilling to tell the truth for some purpose. There were also those with ulterior motives who fired shots and escalated the conversation into a riot.”
Soon after, the two collected some information from the terminal computer here.
It was sent by the Central AI Apollo to all potential passengers, that is, people who once worked and lived here, and outsiders who happened to be here due to one or other matters.
The announcement stated that for the sake of public safety and the prevention of panic, we are hereby notified that there will be no planned flights to Sevastopol in the short term, and no ships will visit.
This simply adds fuel to the fire, causing people to despair and start a crazy involution mode of abandoning morality.
Luo Bo chuckled: "This Apollo is a talker."
Just then, another wave of shock hit, it felt like an earthquake, and everything in the field of vision was shaking.
Amanda said calmly: "According to my experience, this is a fault that only occurs when there is a problem with the power coupler. If this continues, the space station will collapse. It can even be said that Sevastopol is already disintegrating."
Luo Bo replied: "Then we'd better hurry up and act. Look! There is a passage here, which should be able to bypass the regional blockade."
Following Rob's finger, Amanda saw the emergency passage located in the center of the inner bar, and immediately felt that the design of the lightweight exoskeleton had paid off.
What's interesting is that in this passage, there is actually more than one LED lantern hanging at the diagonal corner, and the directionality is also very clear.
Obviously, this passage is still used by people to this day.
Following the lighting that was located some distance away, the two of them came to the hub area easily.
As the name suggests, it is well connected and can reach all areas of the space station.
However, the originally smooth and wide passage is now full of obstacles, most of which are not caused by humans, but caused by vibrations that occur every once in a while in the space station.
It feels like entering a factory after an earthquake.
Then, near a fork in the road, the two saw someone running past.
Amanda's instinct was to give chase.
Robbo didn't care. He followed Amanda and was willing to take her own approach.
After all, for Robo, if this is an adventure, then due to its low level, it requires sufficient immersion to continue playing.
How to get enough immersion? Naturally, it is to try and taste others' ideas, just like following the plot flow of an RPG game.
As a result, no one was chasing him, but he saw as many as two digits of body bags containing corpses in the passage in front of the large hatch numbered 42.
Luo Bo secretly complained: "Is this centralized to facilitate the transportation of aliens?"
Amanda was shocked by this scene for a long time.
Even though I had taken mental precautions in advance, I still felt overwhelmed when I saw it.
Robbo had told him before how aliens treated humans, so there was basically only one possibility for those put in body bags to die from internal murder.
