Chapter 32: The Underground School (2)

"Hey! Is my brother still busy? Doro led Andor around and around to a place that looked very tall. It's just that inside the room, it's too messy. There are all kinds of things in the horizontal and vertical places. Andor deliberately looked at it carefully, and there were few things that he was familiar with. I can feel that these things are mechanical parts, but I don't know what they are! Not to mention knowing what they're for.

"What's going on?" Just as Amdo was puzzled and wanted to take a closer look, Doro was already glaring at him with some impatience. It suddenly occurred to Doro that his idea might not be so good. The old man is not such a foolish person, especially at this time. "Don't come and call the master yet!"

Only then did Andor take a serious look at the old man who had been covered by Doro's figure. The body is not very tall, especially with a person of Doro's stature. The old man was already a little hunchbacked, and he looked even shorter. The hair on his head, which was almost completely white, was piled up very messily on the top of his head. I don't see any styling. This makes it difficult for Andor to imagine what kind of person this is and what kind of master he will be with his inexperienced head.

"Wait," the old man didn't even turn his back to Doro and Andor. He was still half-hunched over a messy pile of mechanical parts, churning for something. "When are you qualified to choose a disciple for me?" The old man's indifferent voice made Andor a little incomprehensible. What is the relationship between this big man who obviously looks like a chief and an old man?

"Hey, you're laughing." The smile on Doro's face almost crumpled into a folding fan. One by one, they were all full of smiles. Amdo was a little surprised that such a face could still smile like this. "Uncle Fan, you are the person I have always admired the most."

"Less nonsense!" The old man should not be such a foolish person, Amdo thought secretly in his heart. It shouldn't be smaller than the little abacus in my grandfather's heart.

"Hee-hee, how is this nonsense? Tell me when the little nephew didn't respect you. Doro didn't pay any attention to the old man's slightly scolding words.

"Respect? Is that how you respect me? The old man didn't know when, but he picked up a long probe in his hand. Scratched through the messy pile of parts in front of him.

"This,...... This Doro seemed to feel a little guilty in his heart, and his face was silent for a long time. "We've been without supplies for a while." Doro's head had lowered after saying this.

The old man finally turned his face, and Andor saw a very ruddy face. The face was red, and there was no twilight on the faces of many old men. There was even a stubborn childishness, and Andor was a little puzzled and didn't know if what he saw was right.

"How long has it been?" The old man sighed. "Do you think that if I don't say anything, I won't know anything?" The old man seemed a little angry.

"I didn't want to hide it from you, I just ......." Doro looked at the old man with some embarrassment.

"I'm afraid of the old man's big mouth, right?" The old man didn't care.

"I'm mainly afraid that this news will affect everyone's mood." Dora didn't dare admit it as the old man himself said.

"I already felt that something was wrong!" The old man angrily used the probe in his hand to put the probe on the pile of parts, and paused vigorously. "How long has it been since I had a restocking machine? Think I can't feel anything abnormal? Andor finally made sure of it from the old man's mouth, and it was really a pile of mechanical parts, although it was not a pattern that he was familiar with. But this made Amdo faintly feel a sense of excitement.

"What are you laughing at?" Ando, who thought that no one was paying attention, suddenly attracted attention because of the smile on his face. "What are you here for?" The old man turned to look at Doro.

"Got you a helper?" Doro didn't dare to mention any more disciples, even if it was just joking. In a situation where there are no supplies now, it is really not a wise choice to offend such a mechanist. In fact, even if everything was normal, Doro didn't have the guts to offend the old man. He would rather take the former reconnaissance team into the mountains to reconnoiter 100 kilometers ahead than offend this old man.

"Helper?" The old man squinted his eyes and kept looking Amdo up and down, not caring at all how Amdo felt. "What will he do? Don't try to cram some useless guys into me. The next time there is something more or less in the mech, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand! ”

"This ,......," Doro hesitated. It's just that in the current situation of the base, it is obviously impossible to let a person be idle like this for nothing. "What can you do?" Doro turned to Amdo and asked.

"Sweep the floor, clean up something or something,......." Andor saw the old man's appearance, as well as the fact that he didn't know any of the mechanical parts piled up on the ground, and he didn't dare to mention what kind of mechanical cultivation skills he had.

"Didn't you tell me what you could do, the one who repaired the parts?" Seeing that Amdo was cowering and not daring to speak, Doro was a little angry.

"Oh," said the old man, in an unhappy tone. "What is this repair machine?"

"That's, a slip of the tongue." Doro, who was about to get angry at Andor, was dispelled by the old man's words.

"What kind of machine will the kid fix?" The old man looked at Andor with some interest, and tapped the probe stick in his hand lightly.

"That's not the case." Andor secretly raised his eyes to look at the old man, and it seemed that the old man was not as angry as he was just now.

"What does it look like?" The old man was visibly curious, and beckoned Amdo to him. "Any idea what this is?"

"Variants?" Amdo was a little uncertain.

"Variants?" The old man's face showed a clear look as if it was the first time he had heard the name. "Do you know what it's for?"

"Change what can be distributed." Amdo's knowledge of the mutator has long been ingrained in his bones. Of the sixteen variants circulating in Samo's Bay, none of them were unknown to Amdo. He also relied on this kind of device to install himself with those small parts that were not very prominent, and they were sold in the market of Samomy Bay with a little fame.

"Change the output of the sub-output?" The old man frowned. "How did you change that? Tell me about it. ”

"When the output rate of the energy crystal is unstable, it can play a role in buffering and compensating." Amdo looked at the old man worriedly, his understanding of definitions and formulas was not obtained from the academy tutorials, but mostly from his own experience or the oral words explained by those in the book club. It's not that rigorous to say.

"You get all this stuff in order!" The old man suddenly pointed to the pile behind him, more than twice as tall as Andor stood up. "The structure is all there." The old man pointed to the dusty machine in the corner of the room.

"Let's go!" The old man unceremoniously said to Doro, who was still standing not far behind Amdo.

"This ,......." Doro rubbed his hands together and looked at the old man uneasily.

"I'll do as much as I can." The old man frowned and looked unhappy, but he agreed helplessly.

"Then it feels like Uncle Fan too much!" Doro looked excited, and he couldn't hide it.

"Hmph, I don't need to say anything more about Xie." The old man snorted a little. "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Maybe one day it won't be repaired at all. ”

"How so! With Uncle Shi's elusive skills, nothing can be done. Doromei smiled and walked over to the old man.

"I'm not an immortal, and I can't give birth to a mechanical body out of thin air!" The old man doesn't eat much of Doro's sycophant. "Can't you give people peace of mind? Can you no longer run into the depths without anything? Every time I went, it was as if I had been robbed, and none of the guys were intact. If it goes on like this, it really won't last a few days! Although he said something very angry, the old man's face showed obvious concern.

"There's no way!" Doro let out a long sigh and looked a little downcast. "You also know Uncle Shi. I'm afraid the supplies won't be so neat. But those guys on the other side don't care about these things. If we hadn't wandered the depths frequently, they would have launched several attacks. In that kind of long-lasting and intense battle, our protection will be more difficult. ”

The old man pursed his lips and did not refute Doro's words. "Whatever the reason, I can't do anything without something!" The old man froze at the ceiling in frustration. "Your master is such an old bastard!" The words that suddenly popped out of the old man's mouth made Ando, who was listening on the side, a little inexplicable.

"Master, he can't help it!" Dora let out a long breath.

"What do you mean there is no way?" The old man disagreed with Doro, and his face was full of anger. "Is there no way to think about pit your own people? Did I recruit him and provoke him? Get me to this hellish place! ”

"Wasn't Uncle Shi interested in this test subject at that time?" Doro explained softly.

"Humph! It's because I'm interested that I fell for that old bastard! The old man seemed to remember something sad, and his voice was a little high. Did you tempt your brother to be a gun? Do you have? ”

"If Uncle Shi hadn't been here, our defense line would have been broken for I don't know how long!" Doro is reluctant to get involved in the rights and wrongs of the older generation. Especially when he is still a master who is still reinventing himself.
