The horror of smart machines is that not killing them will eventually make them stronger.

Although the escaped Cockscomb lost all its weapons and ammunition, as well as its long-accumulated fortress shell and retinue, it gained valuable combat experience, and it will only become more cunning and difficult in the future.

Maybe in a year or two, or even a few months, the machine will continue to wreak havoc in the wilderness with a new, more powerful community.

Shortly after the two system fighters who came to support left on the teleporter, Vault 125 and Vault 1724 became friendly.

Normally, whether it is a voluntary rescue or a paid rescue, as long as it is a monster that is killed by the effort, the loot belongs to the party that contributed to it, that is, Vault 1724. However, given that the piece of broken copper and scrap metal outside the Vault was no longer worth a few dollars, and that Vault 125 had given compensation of nearly one-third of the principal, the man generously raised his hand and gave the loot to Vault 125.

Hearing the news, Edith, who was doing recycling guidance work outside, was immediately overjoyed and full of enthusiasm. Before dark at night, all the wreckage fragments that could be found outside the shelter were moved back to the shelter.

As for the remains of the Great Wisdom Machine in the distance, it is still burning and cannot be disposed of for the time being, and even the remains of the Great Wisdom Machine weigh dozens of tons, and the recovery work may last for several days.

In the lobby on the basement level of Vault 125, Edith reports to Caroline on the recovery efforts.

"The recycled materials are as follows: 2 complete intelligent machine torsos, 12 incomplete smart machine torsoles, 13.2 tons of waste copper materials, and 51 tons of iron materials......"

"The amount of weapons and ammunition recovered was as follows: 21 Class N automatic rifles, 4 Class R rifles of various models, 26,034 rounds of small-caliber ammunition and ...... medium-caliber ammunition"

Edith reported the long-collected list one by one, and the crowd of onlookers below was noisy, and some people shouted excitedly to celebrate the harvest.

Loot was piled up in the lobby, and the mechanics in the smelting room were picking and sorting with joy on their faces amid a hill of broken copper and iron.

After repairing the broken torso of the intelligent machines, they can be made into new mechanical guards, which are a leap forward in the armed power of the Vault.

Although most of the chips of the smart machine have dissolved at high temperatures, and there is no way to learn the technology, the results of this operation are still gratifying.

This is undoubtedly great news for shelters that are starved of supplies. Even if it is the nature of the transaction, it is cost-effective to pay one-third of the remuneration to buy these materials and guns.

In the lobby, the four system warriors from the vault were sitting together, discussing what they had just experienced.

"Athera, the last time you told me about the strength of that silver-armored system warrior, I didn't really believe it in my heart. Flesh anti-missile? Survive tens of thousands of degrees Celsius? I saw it with my own eyes today, and it turned out that there are really people who can be strong to that extent. Kevin sighed and said.

"Eh, Sister Arthur, how many levels did you say that warrior had today?" Carl's eyes seemed to be shining, and he asked wistfully.

Among the system warriors in the Vault, except for the senior Athera, no one else has ever been in contact with the system warriors of other Vaults before.

"How do I know this, it should be, why there are also level 7 or 80, right?" Athera's current level is level 33, and after the transfer, every time the level increases, the proportion of experience points required to upgrade will increase slightly, and the monsters that can be found when going out are all three or two big cats and kittens, and the experience points obtained are very limited, so the further back you go, the slower the leveling becomes.

Not only that, but due to the increase in the attribute base, the physical changes brought about by the upgrade are becoming less and less obvious. At the first level, each level is upgraded, and the randomly added attribute points are basically doubled. Every time you level up, you can feel your strength, speed, and mental state skyrocketing.

This change can be maddening, addictive, and then turn into motivation to train hard.

Now, though, training has become a routine routine for Athera.

"Ethan, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak? Kevin noticed Ethan's strange appearance and asked with concern.

Several people also noticed that Ethan had been in this state since he returned from the mission, as if he had lost his soul, and his eyes were looking straight ahead.

"I want to be as strong as him." Ethan said this sentence flatly, and his attitude made people feel like he was announcing some kind of fait accompli, which made people unquestionable.

There is no doubt that several of you want to become stronger, and there is no doubt that desire is the original driving force that supports the lives of the masses.

"Let's go, Carl, follow me to training." Ethan grabbed Carl's arm and walked out.

Ethan's stunned appearance in everyone's eyes just now was actually him recalling the battle images in his mind over and over again.

Defeating Carl and defeating Athera was like a joke in front of that strong man, and even Athera, the strongest of them, couldn't compare to a finger of his.

The red figure, which could survive such a terrifying explosion, rushed forward in the face of the huge monster that made him feel palpitations at a glance, and beat the enemy to the ground. And he hid behind the walls of the shelter, shivering in the rain of debris that fell from the sky.

At that moment, he admitted that he was really scared. Even behind the heavy walls of the shelter, he was still uneasy. The breeze of the two outside the door was incomparable, and in his opinion, it was an unparalleled spirit.

He also wants to become such a strong man.

"Present...... Now? Karl was a little stunned, a little surprised by Ethan's sudden move.

"Hmm!" Ethan's solemnity made others understand that he was not joking.

"Okay, go to the training ground to level up!" Karl nodded slightly and followed Ethan to the training ground.

"Ethan, this guy, really!" Athera jumped down the steps and followed.

Kevin followed, smiling and shaking his head, but feeling very relieved, Ethan's addition was like injecting a fresh blood into the Vault, and this blood was affecting everyone at the moment, and it was undoubtedly a positive impact.

We're going to be as strong as they are, Kevin is convinced.
