As we enjoyed ourselves like that, the night time arrived.

Harmon prepared to enter the Guldari Guild with Undine, while Lucky, who had crossed the barrier and come out into the wilderness alone, waited alone at the place Harmon had told him to.

Looking up at the sky, the aurora was still spread out widely in the night sky.

It was a night like this when Lucky came out of the basement.

A beautiful night sky, so different from the dullness of the day. But still filled with thick dust clouds like during the day.

At first, just looking at the sky was so enjoyable that I spent the next few days blankly staring at the sky after coming out of the basement.

Then, by chance, he was attacked by a vagrant who was wandering around nearby.

What made Lucky so lucky, as her name suggests, was that she was born so strong.

The metal cells that had been formed in his body since fetal age gave Lucky the power of a mechanical weapon.

At the same time, her innate survival instinct as a living creature gave her the ability to desperately squeeze out strength beyond her limits.

She learned how to survive in this world by defeating and eating the wanderers who attacked her.

Survival of the fittest.

A very simple way of thinking about the world.

She followed the law faithfully for 340 years, and in the end, she was trampled by a being overwhelmingly stronger than herself.

Undine.

Lucky thought it was a monster ten times stronger than himself. The moment he first encountered it, he was helplessly subdued without being able to do anything.

However, Lucky became confused when he saw Undine following Hamon, who was weaker than him.

The world she knew collapses.

While he was feeling confused and his reasoning was falling apart, Lucky was educated by Undine on Hamon’s Onahole, and realized something within the immense pleasure that he could never resist.

As the strong prey on the weak.

The reason why males eat females.

So she was loyal to Harmon, the male who ate her. It was only natural.

Above all, sex with Harmon was enjoyable, the food he gave her was delicious, and it was nice to be able to live warmly without worrying about going hungry and avoiding the cold.

In his arms was heaven.

“Um.”

After waiting for a while, ten robots suddenly appeared around Haengun.

The appearance of having all of its artificial skin removed and revealing its true nature as a robot. In addition, unlike before when it was neatly maintained, its appearance was worn-out with dirt, mud, and signs of damage intentionally created here and there.

As ten robots, each armed with a different weapon, appeared, Lucky, who had been sitting, stood up and wrapped himself in a bio-suit.

This bio-suit is not made with a deadly beautiful appearance, but rather has a body shape close to that of a man, and a powered suit is put on top of it.

Lucky, who was wearing a powered suit specially designed by Harmon, looked like a bulky robot at first glance.

like that.

The 11th robot advanced towards Guldari Village.

‘I told you to write this first.’

What did Harmon say when he told him to write? Haengun thought about it.

‘I’ll first hold the barrier in my hand. So that the gun on top of the barrier can be pointed inward at any time. So, the barrier that exists now is annoying. Break it down.’

Lucky, who was holding the weapon handed to him by the robot, operated it in the way Harmon had taught him, and the cannon made from the turret of the crab meat’s outer shell fired a shell that instantly blew away the two walls built by the Guldari Guild.

“Oh.”

I can hear people screaming.

“Eww!”

“What’s going on!”

“Save the people!”

The scavengers move hurriedly as the lights in the Guldari Guild building turn on.

“What the heck! Crazy!”

“What are those kids who were watching outside doing!”

“Everyone, move! Everyone, except those guarding the medical facility!”

“If you come late, you’ll be left behind!”

The movements of the Guldari Guild, which had once been attacked by a wandering group, were swift.

“Robot horde! 11 in total!!”

“What kind of attack was that?!”

“It’s a bombardment! The center captain has fired! It’s confirmed to be a mass weapon! ”

“You! How did you keep watch outside that you didn’t see them!”

“Sorry, sorry!”

Chaos. Noise. Blood and screams.

“Haha.”

Lucky was drooling.

Two months at Harmon’s repair shop turned Lucky into a well-trained pet.

However, beneath those two months, there is a beast that has been surviving and killing for 340 years.

‘Didn’t the master tell you not to be so harsh?’

As per the command.

I didn’t intend to do it too harshly.

Not too bad.

Lucky whetted his appetite.

“Then I’ll go.”

After Isaiah leaves, having completed his mission of showing his face to his subordinates and allowing Harmon and Undine into the medical facility.

Harmon took off his clothes as he looked at the medical facility before him.

“Then, Master, I will first remove the mechanical device inserted inside.”

“Yeah. That’s right.”

As Harmon lay down in the medical facility, Undine handed him the equipment she had prepared.

“Let’s get started.”

Undine, a combat humanoid, is capable of a number of combat-related actions, including ’emergency treatment for injuries sustained during combat’.

Using that function, you can begin performing medical procedures that would normally be prohibited unless you are a medical android.

Undine, who first cut open Harmon’s shoulder, removed the mechanical joint that had been inserted in place of the original shoulder, and then took out all the oil tubes and wires connected to it.

Undine gradually tore off the arm and took out the entire mechanical skeleton that was inserted into the right arm. Then she immediately turned her hand to Hamon’s chest.

This time, what I’m after is the gear and fuel tank inserted into the chest.

Next is a storage container for used waste oil.

From there, split the thighs and remove the oil tube inside, finishing by working your way towards the knee and pulling it out to the knee joint.

“Hoo.”

When he finished, Harmon’s face turned extremely pale.

Fortunately, the anesthesia function on the medical machine was used, so even though it was a horrific sight, no pain was felt.

“Haa. Haa. Haa.”

As the blood supply to his body depletes, Harmon begins to experience hyperventilation, a shock response caused by rapid fluid loss.

“Just hold on, Master. It will be over soon. Yes, it will be over soon. You have been very patient.”

Undine, who had hastily created blood, controlled the blood and injected it into Hamon’s body.

After Undine finished administering first aid, Harmon sat up for a moment and looked at the machine parts he had placed inside him. Then he chuckled.

“This is really crude. It’s crude. Hehe.”

Harmon would sometimes take out and look at things he had made or repaired when he was a novice mechanic.

And I had time to look back on my skills from that time with my current perspective, feel embarrassed, or reminisce about why I was like that at the time.

“Why did I put this in my body? There must have been better things.”

“The master always did his best in the given situation.”

“Could it have been?”

“Yes, I trust you, Master.”

At Undine’s words, Harmon closed his eyes for a moment, smiled, and then said.

“Thank you for saying so.”

It was such a surprising statement for Harmon, who thought that humanoids and artificial intelligence were just machines and tools, to say the least.

As he lived with Undine, Harmon’s thoughts on humanoids gradually changed.

It seemed that I could no longer regard her as a mere tool.

“Do not continue.”

“Okay.”

As Harmon lay down, Undine, who had given him an additional blood transfusion, attempted to dismantle Chance one last time. However, the moment she cut off his hand and examined the Chance inside, Undine could not help but hesitate.

‘This is.’

The Chance that Harmon had inserted into both arms was somehow completely connected to the muscles, nerves, and bones of Harmon’s body.

The blood flowing from Harmon’s veins flows through Chance.

As Harmon’s muscles twitched and reacted, Chance also twitched and bounced as if he were a part of the body with nerves connected to him.

It was as if Chance was a part of Harmon’s body, not a machine.

It operates through Harmon’s blood, receives signals transmitted through the nerves according to commands from Harmon’s brain, and moves, stiffening and convulsing in response to external stimuli like a muscle.

On the one hand, she was flustered, but on the other hand, Undine calmly conveyed the situation to Harmon.

“Master.”

“Uh.”

“Chance extraction is not possible.”

Undine quickly looked for an opportunity. What kind of metal was it made of? It was completely integrated with Harmon, and it was definitely not a normal form.

‘This chance was definitely created by Ian Black. And the research on the mechanical lifeforms in Ian Black’s basement.’

After spinning her core to the point where her head felt slightly hot and repeating her thoughts and calculations, Undine was able to guess what was going on.

‘This chance was part of an experiment on machine life forms.’

An excessive ability to disassemble, build, and even hack into all sorts of machines. It was a function to help the mechanical lifeforms created through Chance evolve… that is, modify themselves.

‘It seems that they were conducting experiments to transform the bodies of living creatures into mechanical life forms by corroding them with machines.’

However, with no researchers or research facilities, only Chance fell into the hands of Harmon, and as a result, Harmon was able to eat well and live well, using only Chance’s functions without being transformed into a machine life form.

‘It’s fate.’

Chance. It was a really fitting name.

“Then just go ahead. If you cut off the arm, you won’t be able to transplant Chance again.”

“Okay.”

Harmon closed his eyes, and Undine activated the program she had installed in the medical facility.

Like a caterpillar inside a chrysalis, Harmon’s body inside the capsule slowly melted away.
