I don't have a system but I have a hammer

……

Half an hour later, inside the museum...

The five mechanical soldiers whose legs had been removed by the green hat dagger shrank in the corner like a little girl who was being bullied. Their slightly trembling shoulders, as well as the small begging for mercy from time to time, seemed to be telling their inner fear...

The only lucky one whose legs were not removed was No. 13, which I hung upside down from the ceiling. It didn’t cry like everyone else, but was trying to turn its metal head to find my position…

As for me...

Well, I am casually sitting on the stacked energy boxes, playing with the mechanical legs in my hand, and thinking about the information I just got from them...

Although I had some bold guesses when I just heard them talking, but it is really unbelievable to say it from their mouths...

That's right, these six mechanical soldiers not only have nothing to do with the Alliance, but they don't even know what they are...

According to what these six people just said, since they became conscious, all the knowledge has automatically appeared in their minds. Of course, a large part of it is slowly learned from the books left in the ruins...

Yes, although they don't know what they are, but as a purebred earthling who has received nine years of compulsory education, how can I not know the reason for all this...

It's just that I didn't expect that I would really meet a group of artificial intelligence that was born with self-awareness...

And what makes me feel emotional is that the reason why these mechanical soldiers stole the energy box seems to be just to survive in this cruel world...

why?

Because their indestructible bodies have long since become rusty and dilapidated after tens of thousands of years of wind and frost, coupled with occasional monster attacks and unexpected dangers, their current situation is simply the same as mine...

Like a candle in the wind, it flickers and goes out...

But compared to my lonely family, they have a big family that keeps each other warm...

That's right, I know from these six people that almost every once in a while, there will be a few lucky ones who have awakened their self-awareness, climbed up from the ruins full of mechanical debris, and followed the location in memory. , across tens of thousands of kilometers, came to this devastated Red River ruins, looking for the reason for their rebirth...

It's a pity that the process of finding the truth is extremely difficult, and it requires an extremely heavy price...

Because this tens of thousands of kilometers of road not only requires constant vigilance against ferocious monsters, but also crosses an ocean full of unknown dangers, so it can be said that there are very few people who can really reach the destination...

Fortunately, after so many years, there are always a few lucky ones who arrived at the Red River ruins alive, and took this place as their newborn place, and settled down...

Even this so-called settlement will make them tremble with fear every day, walking on thin ice...

Yes, their Dailies are simple...

From seven to ten in the morning, they will come to the ruins to find all available resources, including energy cells, books, storage hard drives, mechanical parts, etc...

The books left by the Honghe people are rare, so they mainly rely on the data stream in the hard disk to understand the history of the Honghe people and learn various knowledge...

Of course, compared to dispensable knowledge, mechanical parts and energy batteries are obviously more important...

Especially the latter, although the mechanical soldiers can adjust their energy cores to ultra-low consumption mode, but whether they are going out or flying, they will consume their little energy, so the energy batteries under the museum become What they depend on most for survival...

It's a pity that they have very little activity time each day...

Because after ten o'clock until the early morning is the time period with the highest frequency of monsters, they will all return to the underground base, leaving only two people hiding in the ruins, waiting for new members from afar...

Thinking about it, after all, it is not easy to walk to the ruins. It would be a bit unlucky if the monster smashed it like a toy again...

Similarly, after listening to their stories, I couldn't help but have a doubt...

"How many others like you?"

The one who answered the question was No. 25 who had regained his composure, even though his tone was still trembling...

"There are... there are 620 five..."

Hearing this completely unexpected number, a flash of surprise flashed in my eyes, and I immediately asked...

"Then why don't you come out together?"

He pointed to his head, his tone was lonely...

"Because we couldn't find any more brain parts..."

I frowned, raised my finger and pointed out...

"In addition to the ruins, there should be other places with wrecks, right? Why not go out and explore?"

Seeing that my attitude was not as aggressive as it was at the beginning, 135 boldly replied...

"Because... because there are monsters outside, there are many monsters around here, they like to treat us as toys, both No. 2548 and No. 1931 were torn apart by monsters..."

No. 38 also played tricks and answered a sentence...

"You forgot, there is number 75..."

135 Shaking his head and starting to refute...

"No, I remember that number 75 fell into the swamp by itself, so it doesn't count as being killed by monsters..."

13 Interjected like a curious baby...

"What does swamp mean?"

135 pointed to his body...

"It means eating people..."

13 nodded thoughtfully...

"Oh, it's a good thing I'm not human, I'm an iron lump..."

"..."

Seeing them completely ignoring my existence, not only chatting vigorously, but even getting more and more intense, I suddenly felt ashamed for a while...

"Okay, shut up, do you know that the problem is very serious now? Come on, let's talk about it, how are you going to solve the problem of stealing energy batteries?"

The originally lively atmosphere immediately quieted down, not only because my questions were difficult to answer, but more importantly, their eyes all gathered behind me, and it was Erha who rushed over after receiving the news...

At this time, she has completely faded the blue hair of Harbin and returned to her original appearance...

But compared to the flaming red on her body, it is obviously the scorching color in her eyes, which is even more dazzling...

In the next second, she spoke a strange language that I couldn't understand at all...

"Rilla～Falma～Gasoga～Erta～"

With the soft chants like a mantra every word, the scene actually started...

Well, nothing happened...

But just when I was confused, 135, who was originally quiet, suddenly tilted his head, and waved to others as if thinking of something, said something in a very low voice, and nodded to Erha …
