I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

"Is that all? If you have any other requests..." As soon as Sun Yang finished speaking, he was kissed by Rukatiya and his mouth was shut.

"I'm not a greedy woman. Following you is better than following any king or lord. Besides, my days of suffering are over. It's time to put your worries to rest." Rukatiye rested his wet forehead on Sun Yang's shoulder. "Use me freely. Don't be polite. After all, everyone who sleeps on this bed is a family now."

"Although it's quite strange as a family... Humanoids... don't have much of a concept of family. It makes me lose my normal family concept." Sun Yang felt a little unreal. He needed some time to adjust.

"It's up to you. I live here comfortably anyway, so you can do whatever you want." Rukatiye was also very casual. Griffin and Oasis also had a chaotic side. As long as they didn't conduct destructive experiments, they didn't care what the humanoids did.

But despite this, Sun Yang didn't intend to really intervene. The agent and Pascal were doing a good job, so there was no need for him to interfere. He shouldn't be an amateur leading the experts.

If there is any convenience after my return, it is that things like allocating supplies have become much easier.

"Come to think of it, can an undead person get pregnant?" Sun Yang suddenly thought of this. He hadn't taken any precautions. Even if he wanted to take the thing out, the humanoid figure would have waved it away.

They didn't care. If they were hit, it wouldn't affect their combat effectiveness. They could just switch bodies and continue fighting. The synthetic bodies were placed in boxes filled with nutrient solution and carefully cared for. When the time was right, they could just perform a cesarean section.

Sun Yang was speechless at the T-doll's open-mindedness, but that was indeed the case for T-dolls. Most T-dolls had several ready-made bodies, which they could rotate when necessary.

"It should be quite difficult. I have never seen an immortal person who can give birth to a child. But when I had a physical examination, I still had eggs, even though my stomach had been pierced dozens of times. I have taken birth control pills, but based on our physical fitness, the possibility of getting pregnant is very low." Rukatiye shrugged.

"You still need me to fight now. It will be too inconvenient to get pregnant, and it will be troublesome to take care of the child. Children always need the company of their parents. So wait until you have finished your work, and then discuss the issue of offspring... But the oasis has special caretaker humanoids, so there shouldn't be any problem." Rukatiye said softly.

"That's really, thank you, Rukatiye." Sun Yang said softly.

"I want to contribute as well. Huh~~ha~~" Rukatiye said, yawned, and fell asleep. Sun Yang also closed his eyes.

***

After an unknown amount of time, Sun Yang drowsily opened his eyes. He felt something warm and soft surrounding him, and something heavy pressing against his chest.

When he opened his eyes, what he saw were his favorite figures.

M4 and AR15 hugged his arms, one on each side. On top of him lay 416 and Rukatiye—I had no idea how they managed to sleep on his chest. On his belly, he could see Gouzi's long, pink-dyed hair. Where did she sleep?

Further down were M14 and Pascal who had joined in midway. They were fast asleep with their heads resting on Sun Yang's thighs.

Everyone found a favorite spot to lie down, like a human pyramid, and then fell asleep casually. Basically, everyone was quite satisfied, and Sun Yang took good care of everyone.

Humph, it's not my fault, it's simply because the tactical humanoids are too strong. Synthetics don't have that problem. You keep calling me a silver-plated spearhead, but today I'll show you who falls faster.

Sun Yang opened the window and checked the time. It was already around ten in the morning. Last night... it seemed like he'd been up quite late. He was simply in a good mood and woke up quickly.

"Commander?" 416 opened her eyes drowsily. She went to bed early last night and was the first to wake up. Then she heard the dog's voice downstairs.

"Why is this thing getting engorged with blood again? It woke me up." Gou Zi muttered.

"Good morning." Sun Yang showed a rather refreshed expression. Perhaps not refreshed, but certainly not one of kidney deficiency.

"Um... Good morning. Today... is a day off. Pascal and the agent gave us seven days off," 416 said drowsily. "Commander, you know what to do, right?"

"Of course. I will satisfy all of you." Sun Yang hugged the four human figures in front of his chest.

"Shouldn't you ask us to take you to familiarize yourself with the environment?!" 416 said while lying on Sun Yang's chest.

"We can talk about that later. Since the agent has worked so hard to free up seven days of free time, we should make good use of it!" Sun Yang shouted.

"Hey? I, I'm a little exhausted... My strength hasn't recovered yet. Can I change into a tactical humanoid body?" 416 sighed.

"No, then I will definitely die. You just lie down, I mean what I say." Flesh against flesh and flesh against machine are two completely different levels of difficulty. Fighting against machine means fighting the boss continuously.

"I, I, I'm a little..." 416 was about to back out when he saw the AR team members were already rubbing their hands and getting ready to start. Even Pascal and M14 were fixing their hair and tying it up neatly.

"Seven days? That would be a complete pleasure." AR15 was eager to try.

Even Rukatiye was ordering takeout and buying water.

"Wait, forget about the other guys who have rich party experience, why are you so indifferent?" 416 said to Rukatiye beside him.

"Hmm? You may have misunderstood. Which lord of Miller doesn't have several wives? The more forced, the more wives he gets." Rukatiye said calmly.

"I shouldn't have argued with someone from a feudal background. Come on, come on... let me lie down." 416 always felt that it would be a bit of a loss to run away at this time, so he decisively chose not to leave.

429 The First Day of Taking Office (Part )

Life had been fantastic lately. So good that Sun Yang wanted to just laze around in the base for the rest of his life. Every day, he'd sleep with a bunch of beautiful girls, get whatever he wanted to eat or drink, play whatever he wanted, and even have a bunch of T-dolls rush to join him when he wanted to play PVP.

Honestly, if Sun Yang had been inside the base from the start, he probably wouldn't have had the will to go out and fight. With so many girls around, why would he even go out? He might have just stayed inside the base until he died.

Ha! I can defend this city until I die!

But once the holiday was over, Sun Yang had to get busy. The calmed-down humanoids came out one after another and submitted a ton of things that needed to be addressed. They sent him everything, big and small, important and urgent.

Rukatiye had gone off on adventures and independent training, while the other tactical T-dolls were off on their assigned missions. Although they had plenty of free time, they often had to wait several days before returning to rest.

The agent and Pascal seamlessly transformed into adjutants, organizing various intelligence and sending it to Sun Yang.

Sun Yang spent a day touring the base with his agent and Pascal.

Although Sun Yang actually understood everything very clearly through the window, there were some things that he didn't notice from the God's perspective. He still followed the two humanoids around, took some notes, and kept some idea in mind.

Sun Yang's command room was also specially rearranged. It is now located between Griffin Base and Oasis Base. People from either side can reach Sun Yang's command room unimpeded.

The command room wasn't small, but it was cluttered with all sorts of random stuff. Sun Yang had originally piled all the equipment he could use into the command room, but when he walked in, he was greeted by a variety of light and heavy energy weapons and live ammunition.

The reception area consists of only two sofas and a table, with no decorations at all. Sun Yang calls it a minimalist style, never mentioning that he was too lazy to decorate.

From that day on, Sun Yang's main area of ​​activity was his own command room, and he would occasionally go out to deal with situations on the scene - although his window could still be used, sometimes the micro-operation of this window was more troublesome, so it was better to go there and deal with it himself.

Just like when a large-scale biological breeding experiment conducted by Oasis went wrong, Sun Yang had to issue an order first, then rush to the scene with a group of intelligent agents and lock up all the crazy experimental creatures. Relying on intelligent agents and humanoids to lock them up was too slow, so it was faster to do it himself.

Every morning, Sun Yang would eat the delicious breakfast brought by his agent, and at the same time listen to the various reports she gave, as well as the data and information that Pascal had compiled for review.

Sun Yang needed to review these reports and materials, and assign certain T-dolls to handle urgent tasks. This was similar to the way he used to play the game, with him selecting the right people and then having his adjutant convey the orders.

Replacing the adjutant's duties were two taciturn intelligent entities, who were responsible for classifying the text materials printed out by Sun Yang and storing them in the bookcase in the command room.

"But speaking of it, why did you guys end up in the adjutant position so naturally? Pascal, you're considered the boss of Oasis, right? Aren't you managing the agent well?" Sun Yang said, sitting in his command room, looking at the agent and Pascal's avatars on the computer.

The agent and Pascal had considered going to Sun Yang's command room to serve as adjutants. However, this was indeed a bit redundant. The base was highly information-based, so if anything happened, they could just contact him online, without having to run around offline.

Although Pascal looked reluctant, he still agreed to Sun Yang's request.

The agent doesn't care. The average combat power of Griffin's humanoids is much higher than that of Oasis's humanoids. She doesn't often attack hard offline, so the Griffin tactical humanoids will definitely give her a hard time.

"What a strange question! I never attempt to subvert my master's authority. Assisting you is my greatest duty. Now that you're back, I'll return to my own position. Also, what would you like for lunch?" the agent said.

"Fish-flavored shredded pork with rice is fine. So when you return to your position, you'll just throw all the work to me... and then follow my instructions, right?"

Sun Yang wrote his reply on the computer, much slower than the agent. After all, the agent replied in seconds, while Sun Yang still had to type manually.

Although the agent has been sorted out, he does not need to be involved in most of the automated operations.

However, many missions to explore other worlds require Sun Yang's orders, and also require the mobilization of humanoids and the organization of supplies.

Originally, the agent needed to discuss these matters with Sun Yang before making a decision, but now she chose to follow his orders. And when Sun Yang gave the order... the departing tactical figures immediately agreed, without even a word of encouragement.

"If you don't come back, I'll eventually collapse from my mental limitations," the agent said slowly.

"Professor, I'm essentially just a research T-doll. And the coordination with Griffin still depends on you, Professor. By the way, there are a lot of T-dolls who want to see you this afternoon. Are you free?" Pascal collected the documents approved by Sun Yang and handed them to their respective research T-dolls.

"It's the same here. Many dolls want to talk to you. I suggest you manage your meeting times carefully," the agent said.

"I really want to say casually: there's no need to make an appointment, just come and see me when you want, I don't mind... But I didn't expect there would be so many things to do, I'll relax this requirement in the future." Sun Yang sighed.

"I'll see the Oasis figures first. Each one will have 30 minutes, and we'll line up in order. We can delay it a little later today..." Sun Yang said as he stuck the spiral sword into the ground and touched it. The flames immediately restored his body. "Agent, the fourth batch of engineering troops has assembled. Please make a memorandum and keep it for future reference. If the US base has any important intelligence, please report it to me in a timely manner."

[Received.] The agent immediately copied a file. A pile of paper spit out from the printer next to Sun Yang. After checking it, Sun Yang asked the agent next to him to organize the files and put them away.

"Let's go..." Sun Yang drew out his spiral sword and sent the assembled engineering troops to the end of the world to continue the infrastructure construction. This time the teleportation made his mana bar a little low again, so Sun Yang quickly put down the spiral sword and let the flames restore his state.

"By the way, there's one more thing you need to report. Pascal, it's about the undead body," the agent said.

[Yes, Professor, it's about K5.] Pascal handed a document to Sun Yang.

After Sun Yang returned, he did not treat K5 badly, but tried to give K5 a lot of souls, so that she could gain more powerful strength. After all, K5 was a meritorious person, and it was only natural for her to receive such a reward.

Afterward, K5 stated that even using the campfire hadn't improved her. She struggled to mobilize her soul, and her physical performance barely reached the standards of a tactical humanoid. Furthermore, her level of faith made it difficult to rely on soul-based enhancements, as if her body had reached a bottleneck.

In response to this matter, the birdmen Onefix and Strider, experts in the soul field, immediately conducted an inspection and also involved many humanoids from the Oasis.

Now, they have finally produced a report that is reliable enough.

"So what's the result?" Sun Yang opened the report and started browsing.

"The undead bodies we created are fundamentally flawed. Their physical potential is far inferior to that of humans born normally from the Dark Souls world," Pascal explained.

For example, Rukatiye's upper limit for strength and agility attributes may be 95, while the upper limit for intelligence and miracle life training is about 30.

On the other hand, Strider has a maximum of 99 in Intelligence and Miracle, but his Strength can only reach around 40. In short, there is a lot of potential to be explored.

As for the undead body, most of the upper limit is around 35 to 40, and some of the attributes are capped at 20 points. At most, it can only be made into a small bucket.

Although it is already very powerful as a human, this value is not enough as a humanoid. Humanoids can still be iterated in the future, but this upper limit may be fixed.

[The bodies we create hit a bottleneck when they reach a relatively low level, and breaking through the bottleneck will only require more and more souls.] Pascal briefly explained this.

As for the reason for this flaw, Strider and Birdman believe that unnatural inheritances inherently diminish potential. In the world of Dark Souls, there are many powerful individuals who seek dragon blood to strengthen their own bloodlines. However, even with dragon blood, the power of their offspring declines significantly. This is true for natural inheritance, and even more so for unnatural creation. The technology used to clone the undead... has been proven to have definite flaws.

[Each generation is weaker than the last. After all, decline is the theme of the Dark Souls world. We may not be able to stably produce undead bodies with sufficient potential and reliability. Professor, we need more experimental data...] Pascal looked at Sun Yang with some concern.

"How is K5?" Sun Yang asked.

She was a little disappointed, but she said this strength was sufficient. She could just get a new tactical humanoid body later. Pascal responded.

It's not as simple as just replacing it. Perhaps she's always dreaming of possessing immense power and staying by my side. Sun Yang sighed and prepared to issue a new order.

This wasn't fair to K5... She'd done so much, and she didn't deserve this kind of reward or response. But the decline of the Dark Souls was inevitable. Even the undead's all-embracing souls had waned, and their bodies were quickly reaching their limits.

430 Official First Day in Office (Part )

"List the defects and inform those who are preparing to develop the humanoid bodies of the immortals... Also, I will temporarily suspend the research on this project." Sun Yang said.

And Pascal could only sigh.

"We have just achieved research results. Should we give up now?" Pascal's inquisitive spirit as a scholar and the humanity presupposed in her mind were in fierce struggle.

"Pascal, to get the experimental data, we either need to use humanoids as guinea pigs, or we need to abduct ordinary people for experiments, force them to use their souls to become stronger, and then observe their changes. This process is definitely full of various problems... Of course, we will ask humanoids to be volunteers at the beginning." Sun Yang said.

Pascal remained silent about this, knowing all this.

"I'm sure that the next experiments will be bogged down by the sheer number of unclear things. And in the end, someone will come up with a plan like this—"

"We don't need to build it ourselves. We just need to collect the bodies of ordinary people, remove their brains, and install humanoid chips and components."

"This technology is not without precedent. The Great Mountain Range has experimented with many brainless people and accumulated a wealth of experimental records. We can even skip the process of accumulating technology and get started directly. I think the bodies of ordinary people in the Dark Souls world should be very suitable and have great potential."

"At first, we looked for strong, reliable corpses. Even if they were a little broken, it wouldn't be a problem. We could repair them and maybe use them again. But after conducting experiments, we realized that corpses also have flaws and there are various problems with using them to create base bodies. So we turned our attention to living people."

"Obviously, there aren't enough living people. There aren't many humans left in the Dark Souls world. I think we'll kidnap ordinary people from the Dark Souls world and force them to have children."

"After the children are born, some will be raised as the next batch for breeding, while others will be transformed into undead bodies... Artificial technology has been proven to have flaws, but naturally born individuals are flawless. This technology has a precedent for success."

"That's right, just like the green-robed girl Shanalote, she is a dragon's son born from humans. She has an extremely long lifespan and special abilities. Perhaps we will embark on that path in the future." Sun Yang said, staring at the air.

"Professor, we won't allow that to happen!" Pascal said.

"Really? But I might let that happen. I don't trust my moral level. And at that time, Pascal, you might agree to my scientific research requirements." Sun Yang sighed after he finished speaking.

Dolls can be very cruel to their enemies when in combat, but they usually won't kill civilians or unarmed people.

The continuous wars have made these humanoids indifferent, but even so, they will not kill everyone.

But Sun Yang couldn't control his bottom line. For him, the bottom line could be crossed with just a thought.

The humanoids can seek Sun Yang's opinions and accept his orders, but Sun Yang will not obey anyone's orders.

Creating an undead body is already very close to the moral red line, and Sun Yang also feels psychological pressure about this.

If he didn't dwell on these things, he would definitely issue an order to have the humanoids cross the world to capture people and increase experimental materials. But if he did that, he would be no different from Andil.

And honestly, experimenting with a body whose reliability wasn't certain was a bit of a hassle. Sun Yang was only developing the undead body as a technological advancement; he had no intention of replacing all his humanoid troops with undead.

Even if there are so many souls that can make the humanoids stronger, how to solve the problem of zombie transformation after repeated battles? There are not so many humanoids, and we can't always rob Andil, right?

"In short, this project will be put on hold for the time being. Let's archive the records and instruments and keep them safe." Sun Yang emphasized again.

[Received. I've submitted the documents. All T-dolls have canceled their Undead body production reservations.] Pascal quickly executed the plan.

Honestly, if a new body isn't as strong as the original humanoid body, no one will care.

[Master. AK15 is making an appointment for a conversation.] The agent immediately took over.

She was the only one who cared deeply about this matter. Sun Yang nodded and agreed. After that, the two adjutants reported some other trivial matters and left Sun Yang alone.
