Kugu Palace…
“… I didn’t know that seeing the same android would make me think it was unreasonable.”
Defoe muttered as he saw battle robots falling down with their limbs cut off and their heads and waists cut off. The remains of the battle robot, now nothing more than a pile of metal, were spread out in a circle around me.
There was no reason to worry about the factory equipment when dealing with this many enemies, so some of the machine and android parts caught in the attack were lying around on the floor.
‘How many times have you dealt with them? I reached double digits a long time ago. As if they came from all over the factory… ‘
Perhaps because the security system had flagged me as a person of interest, the more battle robots I defeated, the more they came.
I answered, looking around the area that had finally been cleaned up.
“Like humans, we each have our own personalities.”
“Difference in basic performance… ha… no. Even if I think about it, only my CPU gets hot.”
Defoe said the same thing, but he was supporting me with mechanical accuracy and reaction speed, as if he were an android.
After learning that I was in the most danger, the battle robots flocked towards me without paying any attention to Defoe.
Among those facing me, Defoe mainly fired at the relatively vulnerable parts of the battle robots that turned their backs on him. Unlike the shield, attacks aimed at the gaps in the joint area were effective enough with a rifle.
It wouldn’t have been too much of a stretch if I had dealt with it alone, but it actually made things a lot easier.
‘I guess it’s because it’s Android. ‘My reaction speed and shooting accuracy are definitely better than that of an ordinary person.’
At my current level, it’s not a great skill, but it was a performance that was laughably superior to that of an ordinary person. However, due to the nature of the machine, it had the disadvantage that it was difficult to expect improvement in skills until it was upgraded by replacing parts.
‘But you can also entrust him with chores rather than battles… After all, it would be a good idea to bring a few Androids too, right? Of course, they are people who have not awakened their self-awareness to avoid causing trouble… ‘
As I added the shopping list to my mental shopping cart, I called Tom.
Because there was a delay in dealing with the battle robots, in the worst case scenario, those who had infiltrated elsewhere could have been killed.
“Tom, this is all sorted out. A bunch of combat androids came out… How are the other teams doing? If you tell me the direction of a dangerous team, I’ll go provide support.”
-huh? I guess that was the area where the troops were concentrated. No other teams have requested support. Please move to the center of the factory as planned.
‘what? It’s a more relaxed voice than I thought. ‘Is Awaken more capable than I feared?’
It is possible that they could have been annihilated in an instant before sending a request for support, but considering that Depo had been avoiding the battle robot’s attack for a long time on his own, that was not very likely.
Anyway, right now, there seemed to be no need for me to run around with my feet sweating and save people in danger.
“Depo, take the lead, I will confirm the kill and follow.”
“… What if I go alone and meet other security forces?”
‘This bastard… ‘
At least the hand holding the sword twitched as the guy, who was not a pretty android but a burly black model, was crying.
“Sseu-eup… There are no more guards in my detection range, so don’t worry and move. You have to move quickly to the target point to meet other teams. Did you just say that you were worried about your comrades?”
“Damn, what kind of radar was installed? ? I’m jealous… ”
After saying that, Defoe grumbled and took heavy steps. I saw that he was moving and turned my attention to the combat robots lying nearby.
‘Then where…’ ‘Let’s clean up after ourselves.’
It wasn’t a complete lie to confirm the kill. Combat robots are machines made of cold metal, not living things, so they can operate without problems even if one part is cut off.
I can’t see it moving now, perhaps because I mainly destroyed parts that seemed important when cutting, but you never know.
‘And these are the real ones.’
I lifted the objects in my hands and measured their weight.
A baton that does not bend even when hit on the floor and a bulletproof shield made of transparent material.
Although it could not withstand the sword energy fueled by the supernatural power of internal attack, it showed almost invincible defense against Defoe’s rifle.
Perhaps because the shield was made to be used by a 3-meter-tall robot, it seemed difficult to use as it was because it was too large for a person to use. However, the weight was quite light compared to its size, and the baton was a bit long, so it seemed like it had to be held with both hands, but it seemed like it could be used somehow.
‘Let’s keep the shield with us because it might find an appropriate use.’
I cut the battle robot into smaller pieces with the sword in my right hand, and with my other hand, I put equipment that looked as good as possible into my inventory.
After taking all the loot and rejoining Defoe, we moved to the next section.
Other team members who appeared to have arrived first were seen in this compartment. They seemed to be gathered in front of the closed door and waiting for something.
“Ike! Roland! Gail!”
“Yes… ? Minho and Defoe. It’s a little late.”
Ike turned to us when he heard Defoe’s voice calling his name. Looking at their appearance, they didn’t look like they had suffered any damage from the battle robots.
Defoe frowned at Ike’s indifferent words.
“What? What hardships have we gone through… ”
“Hey, can’t you see me?”
“Qu… There are ignorant people like you, but they are just as bad.”
“This!”
Ocean, the only one whose name was not called, put a headlock on Defoe’s head.
I ignored them and instead asked Ike what Defoe was trying to say.
“Wasn’t it difficult to deal with combat androids? There wouldn’t have been any special weapons other than a rifle.”
“Huh? Oh, you mean those robots? We came here easily because all the guys we were dealing with disappeared somewhere?”
“… … .”
It seemed that all the security forces that the other team was dealing with were dragged to me. For some reason, I thought the number of battle robots flocking in was unusual, but I never thought something like this would happen.
From the security system’s perspective, did they calculate that they had to send all their troops to stop me?
‘If you saw a robot being cut in two with just a single slash, it wasn’t a wrong decision. I actually took care of everything.’
I feel like I was the only one working, so I’m a little skeptical, but it was definitely a better situation than Awaken being annihilated in the first operation.
“So why did you stop here?”
Right in front of “ appears to be the compartment containing the main system. There was an additional security lock, so I was waiting for hacking.”
Ike pointed to Gale, who was stuck against the closed door and working hard on the terminal. I didn’t pay much attention to him because he was the quiet type, but he seemed to know how to hack.
“… It’s done.”
Not long after, Gail took a few steps away from the door and spoke.
At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on the closed door. Defoe and Ocean also stopped bickering and held their breath quietly.
The goal of this raid was right in front of us.
“Tom, we go into the main system. Gayle, open the door.”
After briefly reporting to Tom, Ike gave instructions to Gale. Gale nodded and pressed the screen of the terminal.
Slurp…
The heavy iron door was pushed aside with a soft sliding sound. Dry, cold air blew out from the room containing the main system.
I slowly entered the room where the main system was located, keeping an eye on my surroundings. No additional assigned security forces were seen. It looks like I actually took care of all the combat robots in the factory.
The lighting inside was a bit dark. There are no restrictions on movement, but the brightness is such that the faint light coming from the device can be clearly seen.
Long rows of servers and computing devices, like bookshelves in a library, made their presence known by blinking green and red lights.
We walked through it and approached the control located in the center of the room.
“Gale, let’s get started.”
Gale followed Ike’s instructions and attached himself to the control unit, connecting the terminal and the control unit.
Then, numerous black windows appeared and disappeared on the control device screen. I’m not sure, but it seemed like a pre-prepared program was taking over control of the factory.
At that time, Tom’s urgent voice came from the earpiece.
-Ike! Minho! X-Tech’s reinforcements have arrived outside! They’ll be entering soon!
“Damn… Gail, how much time is needed to take control of the system?”
Ike asked Gail through gritted teeth.
“10 minutes… No, it has to be 15 minutes.”
“Tom, I need about 15 more minutes. Can the team remaining on the outside hold out?”
-It seems like these guys came here with a deliberate intention! shit… More than 5 minutes is too much! They even have EMP weapons! These kids… Are you planning to shut down the entire factory?
“EMP weapon?”
As I quietly listened to Tom, I heard a fascinating story that piqued my interest.
