The End of the Earth

The black crystal dragon armor was circling independently in the sky. From the images transmitted by the black dragon-shaped dragon armor, Xiang San could clearly see that there was a building built on ruins in the center of Bor City.

The architectural style was very different, even incongruous, as if it was artificially carved out of a small hill. It was very square and straight, and apart from the regular round columns, he didn't see any windows or doors or other entrances or exits.

It doesn't look like a place suitable for human habitation; this was Xiang San's subconscious thought.

However, he came to the area in person and scanned it with the detection capability of the black magic particles. The dense human heat sources in the building clearly proved that these were the people he was looking for.

Through the scanning of black magic particles and the Creator's algorithm, Xiang San can see the complete internal structure of the building and the distribution of personnel.

He found some ruins with certain hiding abilities. Hiding under a pile of rubble, he manipulated the black magic particles in a more focused manner, passing through the strange building and entering the interior.

Inside the alien building, first floor

“Can Boss Terry’s super armor really compete with the Serbian military?

I heard that the Serbian military has received official recognition from some supervisory body, and may even have received support from foreigners.

We were already at a disadvantage, and now the gap will probably get even bigger, right?"

"Look at you, you're so cowardly. Once Boss Terry's armor is successfully developed, the military's equipment will be like toys.

The Serbian army had already been almost completely depleted in the fight against the attacks of the evil life forms, otherwise Boss Terry wouldn't have brought us here to set up base, right?

Hahaha~"

Judging from the tone of these people, it seems that foreign forces are trying to usurp the throne, and Serbia's combat forces seem to have reached the end of the road.

After listening for a while and hearing no useful information, Xiang San walked through the wall and came to another room.

The interior of the building looks like a bare house and has not been specially renovated later. The wiring, generators, pipes and other facilities are all laid out in an exposed manner.

Xiang San found an empty corner and controlled an object to hit the wall of the building. He used the obtained parameters for analysis and soon he understood.

This square box building looks like a stone building and has amazing resistance to destruction. Its building materials can absorb shock waves and high heat energy, but have strong filtering capabilities for gases.

The existence of this building is totally inconsistent with modern science.

It seems that it was a wise move for these people to choose this place as their base, but they could not do anything about the hard walls inside, as all the hanging wires were fixed with glue.

We came to another room, which should be said to be a large warehouse, with about a dozen military and civilian vehicles parked there.

Xiang San looked at the solid walls on all four sides in confusion. He couldn't even drive nails into them. How did they get things as big as people and vehicles in?

With this doubt, he searched up layer by layer.

As he got to know more, he also knew the origins of this group of people.

The leader of this gang is called Terry.

A white male, a retired U.S. Air Force instructor, serving a sentence in a southern Hungarian prison for criminal activities.

After the White Flash incident, he gathered a group of retired soldiers with criminal records with his extraordinary knowledge and ability, and set his sights on Serbia.

The situation in Serbia, which had experienced many color revolutions in the old era, was already unstable. The sudden white flashes and the attacks of the evil life forms were also a problem.

It is not easy for Serbia to gather its military and civilians together and survive all these years.

The reason why Terry and his gang targeted Serbia was because of its resources and population, and because its army's combat effectiveness had been greatly reduced and its morale was a big problem.

They had already fought a battle with the Serbian military, and there were only a little over a thousand people in this building.

Thousands more were looting in several towns around the Serbian capital.

This is a showdown between a desperate prisoner and the afterglow of the nation.

Inside this building, Xiang San discovered a large amount of material reserves. Judging from the text labels, they should have been looted by this group of people from Serbia.

There were also dozens of ragged Serbian women, and he found some human body parts in some small rooms.

Among this group of people, there is a small group that likes to eat cannibalism, and later has a habit of collecting finger bones.

This world is a nightmare for normal people.

But for some things, it is a paradise without institutional disorder.

Finally, in the next room, Xiang San found Wang Yu.

This is a large assembly room. Wang Yu and dozens of people in protective clothing are assembling a machine using auxiliary instruments.

At this moment, Wang Yu was concentrating on using a mechanical gripper to extract an energy core and carefully placed it into a container.

Just as he exhaled, a voice came to his ears.

"Wang Yu, I'm here to save you, so please don't act too abnormally and draw attention to yourself.

I have access to your brainwave frequency band, and you can communicate with me without speaking."

Wang Yu tried to talk to the voice in his mind.

"Can you hear it?"

"Yes, that's it."

"Who are you? Why did you save me? And how did you do it?"

"Do you want to make things clear right here?"

"I'm sorry, I really want to get out of this damn place.

Do you need me to cooperate with you?"

"Yes,

First, I need to know if your life is safe at the moment.

Second, do you have program permissions for the thing you are assembling?

Third, I need to know what other hidden threats this place may have.

I have basically figured out the visible weapons in the entire building, but I always feel that there is something hidden.

I want to get you out safely, right?"

Just as Wang Yu was stunned, an armed man who was supervising the assembly room strode over aggressively with a rifle in hand.

Wang Yu moved quickly, but the armed man still walked towards him aggressively.

"Then who? What to do?"

"Do what you have to do and don't worry."

Wang Yu pretended not to see the approaching armed man and continued with his work.

bang~

The armed man twisted his ankle, hit his head on the railing and fainted.

Almost everyone in the assembly room looked towards the armed man.

A leader in charge of the assembly room saw this situation, walked towards the unconscious person, cursing and kicking him a few times.

“It’s useless, you two, help him to the medical room.

What are you showing me?

If the TR combat armor cannot be completed within three days, you will all die."

The assembly workers were so frightened that they quickly continued to work.

Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and called out in his mind.

"Are you still there? How did you do it?"

"Do you have the answers to those three questions just now?"

"Oh! Yes, yes, yes.

First, like the guy just said, I should be safe within three days.

Second, this humanoid armor is the technology of the Serbian military. The boss of this group of people graduated from MIT. We cannot access the armor, and the core defense program of the armor was programmed by him personally.

I'm afraid I can't help you, but I added a remote port to the Armored Core, and their boss is too powerful for me to activate it."

Xiang San took over the conversation and asked quickly: "Activate it! Now!"

"Now? But how do you access it? Remote access will be discovered!"

"Don't worry, you activate the port and I'll take care of the rest."

Wang Yu didn't know whether he should believe him or not, but he had indeed helped him just now, so his ability should be...

Bet!

When Wang Yu was carrying out the next assembly step, he turned on a small hardware switch on the armor core program. Although his action looked natural, it was seen by someone next to him who was also wearing protective clothing. The two looked at each other and continued to work tacitly, as if nothing had happened.

"Is this person yours?"

Facing the question from the voice in his head, Wang Yu smiled bitterly and said, "They are just birds in a cage, but they should be trustworthy. He is from the Serbian military, and there are many prisoners like us in this building.

Prisoners can be used to exchange for a lot of supplies with the Serbian military.

It’s our surplus value.”

“…That’s rare.”

It seems that this country's political system still maintains the fine traditions of the old times. Who cares about other people's life and death these days?

"Um, have you entered the Armored Core program?"

"Permissions override completed."

"Ah? So soon? No! If you overwrite the permissions now, won't they know?"

"I copied a remote mirror program again, and their permissions in my mirror program are still the same as before, with no abnormalities.

The Armored Core program I copied has been installed in the machine before you.

You are now the highest authority owner of this humanoid armor."

Wang Yu looked at the big guy he was assembling in great shock. How did the other party do it in just such a short moment?

“This is incredible…”

"So, the third question is, besides this group of people and their boss, are there any other problems we face?"

"Oh right! I've always felt that their boss has become a little bit neurotic recently.

It seems like there is a problem with awareness. We moved into this building half a month ago.

After several missile strikes by the Serbian military, the building was safe and sound, and they then prepared to stay here for a long time.

Is this building haunted? I mean, is there something wrong?"

"Your analysis makes sense. This building looks simple in structure, but the surface has very complex patterns that look like they were carved by humans.

The intensity is incomprehensible.”

"Yes, a few days ago there was a disturbance. They tied him up with a grenade, threw him into a room, and closed the stone door.

There was no vibration or sound after the explosion, so they thought it was a dud and it took them a long time to open the door."

"Stone Gate?"

Wang Yu glanced around and saw that the armed personnel supervising them did not notice anything unusual and were still wandering around.

Only then did he feel at ease and continue to communicate with the voice in his head.

“When the stone door is closed, it will merge with the wall. You can only open it if you know where the doors are.

This is what I and several other prisoners discovered after secretly observing."

"Very good, since there is no danger at the moment, you should remain as usual and wait for my notification.

I'm going to see what their boss is up to."
