Chapter 1: Yorktown Scavengers

Next Chapter

"If you can equip this MX-1870 sniper rifle with a precision optical sight, it is estimated that the shooting accuracy can be doubled!"

In a messy room full of metal equipment and parts, a teenager wearing thick experimental goggles and heavy brown and yellow workshop overalls was muttering about a smooth-shaped firearm on the experimental workbench in front of him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, his tightly knit brow was full of thought.

"Alas! Looks like I'm going to have to go to the 'garbage dump' and figure out how to make the scope! ”

After a long silence, the young man made a decisive decision, took off his experimental protective equipment instead, took a burlap holster, wrapped the sniper rifle on the experimental table, and put it away.

"One last step! Once the scope is successfully made, the first real firearm in the entire Endless Continent will be born under my Moses! ”

While collecting the gun, the young Moses couldn't help but be excited.

Every new invention is a feat that no one has ever accomplished before, and it is no wonder that Moses, who has just turned 16, is so excited!

After all, the ambition of the teenager has paid off!

"However, let's tidy up our appearance first, as an inventor, it's too sloppy and not decent enough."

・・・

After a brief freshening up, putting on his holster, Moses went out.

"More than a hundred years ago, to be precise, in 1762, the product of the mysterious outer space civilization - 'Mechanical City', descended on the Endless Continent!"

"What a disaster!"

"How good life is in primitive societies! People wander in the wilderness, basking in the breeze and sunshine, enjoying the joy of sowing and harvesting, men and women running freely, chasing each other and playing, and wearing very little clothing..."

"Hahaha..."

Passing through a classroom, Moses knew that it was Friday again, when he heard Feynman, the famous history teacher at Yorktown Elementary School, indoctrinate his students with his indecent remarks.

Such hearty laughter does not appear in other classes at all, except for history lessons.

It can be heard that this is the course that the students are most interested in, and Feynman is the teacher who makes them the happiest.

"Come to think of it, if it weren't for the Federation's compromise on the 'Machine City' to take over the rule of the Endless Continent, you wouldn't have to learn those esoteric and obscure scientific knowledge, old man, maybe I'm accompanying a beautiful girl in the coffee shop next to the Honey Cake Shop on the street corner..."

"Alas, this is also the last time old Feynman spat and brag before the weekend, so let him go."

Moses had no intention of saying hello to his old acquaintances, and he quickened his pace and was about to leave the campus.

"Hey! Moses! ”

Not far away, a girl of extraordinary beauty beckoned to Moses.

After a little look, this girl is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she has a mature charm and plump body, and at the same time has a pure and fresh temperament.

"Hey! Safina! Moses knew each other well and responded with a greeting.

"Yo, it's really strange today, how can the 'great inventor' be willing to come out of the 'research institute'?"

Safina looked at Moses with a smile, and her words implied a kind joke.

"Hehe, don't say anything else, let's go, I'll take you to shoot the target!"

Moses said shyly touching the back of his head.

In the face of Safina, who he has known since childhood, Moses' behavior is somewhat restrained, obviously, in addition to friendship, there are other feelings implied between him and her.

"Okay! It just so happens that I'm also idle. ”

"Hehe, let's go!"

Moses looked happy and took Safina's hand.

"Yo yo yo! Safina, why are you messing around with this loose boy again?! ”

Just as the two were about to go to the shooting range on the outskirts of the town, Moses' natal nemesis, the dean, stood at the school gate out of nowhere.

"Don't forget, you're the daughter of Mayor Thatch, and you've passed the early enrollment of the Central Hua Imperial Academy, and you're the future star of our Yorktown Elementary College!"

"Hehe, this old woman is still as poisonous as ever."

The nemesis visited, and along the way, Moses only smiled bitterly when he heard the mean words in his mouth.

"That, I still have something to do, let's go first, you talk slowly."

Afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to stand the other party's verbal stimulation, so Moses quickly found an excuse to leave the "crime scene".

"Tsk, Safina, look at this unpromising boy, I really don't know what you like about him?"

Finally walking up to Safina, the dean shook his head and said in a huff.

"He's good marksmanship." Safina replied, but her eyes remained fixed in the direction Moses had left, ready to catch up.

"But he's a guy who doesn't know how to learn!" The Dean of Education said hoarsely.

"He's a Yorktown scavenger, just like his dead daddy Moore! Fish begins to rot from the head! There is no strength, but they are all the same and do not do their jobs! ”

"After the old Moore died, it was the mayor of the town who took pity on him and gave him a place in the academy, and he was good, he never went to class, and he knew all the time to tinker with the strange things that Old Moore left behind."

"But he's good marksmanship!"

Safina still insisted, seeing that Moses' figure was about to disappear from view, she was full of anxiety, where could she bother to argue with this old woman?

"Besides..."

"Him! Gun! Law! Good! ”

Finally, Safina interrupted the dean's chatter word by word, and turned to chase Moses.

"Safina! You... Today's girls, I really don't know what they're thinking, how to just look at men's marksmanship? Looking at Safina's distant back, the dean sighed and sighed.

"But then again, what is a gun?"

・・・

In the distance, a towering 'wall' stands majestically around Yorktown!

This is the greatest gift of the 'Mechanical City' to the Terrans, and every Terran settlement has a 'wall'!

It is precisely because of the existence of the 'wall' that the invasion of the beasts is completely isolated, and the human race has an absolutely reliable guarantee of survival.

It is precisely because of this that in such a peaceful era, Moses, who was keen on the study of weapons of war, was called 'waste'.

In another circle, though, Moses was no waste!

"Group leader, did you really make up that thing with guns?!"

"Of course! And the test launch has already been successful! But because this one is positioned as a sniper rifle, there is still a scope that is theoretically missing! ”

"I'll go! Boss, you're so good! ”

"Congratulations!"

・・・

Hearing the words of Moses, the leader of the group, his personal light brain suddenly exploded! There were constant discussions and praises.

What could be more exciting than the announcement of the birth of a new weapon in the circles of military fanatics?

In contrast to the old and dilapidated Yorktown, the personal light brain, which integrates almost all the functions of electronic devices, seems so out of place, and the sense of the gap between the two times is extremely obvious!

But this super technological product is owned by the human race, not Moses!

And all of this is all thanks to the 'Machine City'!

"I said boss, you should hurry up and send me a photo of the firearm, let's get over it first!"

"That's it! Hey, by the way, the group leader, announce your address too, and when you are free one day, we can get together with you, and by the way, try it and put a few shots! ”

"No problem! I live in York Town, which is under the jurisdiction of the Southeast Province, the main city of Huiwan and Jiangwu County, and everyone is welcome to play! ”

"As for the photos of the guns, please don't be impatient, I'll upload it to the group right away to give you a sneak peek!"

The enthusiasm of the fans was high, and Moses also enjoyed it, and naturally he would not refuse such a simple and reasonable request as sharing the address and photos.

With that, he turned around and looked for a secluded and uninhabited place, took off the holster, activated the photographic function of the light brain, and Moses couldn't wait to share the results of his long-term struggle!

"Hey! Moses! What are you hiding here for?! I've been looking for you for a long time! ”

At this time, Safina caught up with him in a huff.

"It's nothing, take a picture of the gun and post it to Moments." Moses said with joy.

Safina wanted to continue to ask something, but suddenly, a nameless fluctuation of unknown origin swept from outside the 'wall' like a vast tide!

This nameless fluctuation came and went quickly, out of sight and out of touch, the radiation swept over the earth, and everywhere it passed, the creatures were in a trance, and people felt it, but they only thought it was mental fatigue and had an illusion.

"Moses, did you just feel something?" Safina asked, not quite sure.

"Uh, it seems to be a flower in front of me, a little trance."

Moses could, and then suddenly he wondered:

"Huh? What's wrong with the light brain? Why can't I upload my photos? ”

'Wouldn't it?' The products of the mechanical city's will also be broken?! ”

Safina was deeply puzzled, and then turned on her light brain.

As usual, Safina recognized the connection, but Safina found that her light brain could not be used!

"Hey! Strange? My light brain is not good either! Safina said in surprise.

"Zizi・・・All Terrans, please note that due to the mysterious particle radiation attack caused a wave of mechanical collapse, the 'Mechanical City' is about to be completely paralyzed and enter a state of closed repair!"

After a burst of radio waves, countless light brains came out at the same time with the words of this standard electronic synthesized sound!

"What?!' Mechanical City's paralysis?! ”

Suddenly, everyone was shocked!

"Dididi..." Suddenly, a burst of alarms sounded in the light brain!

"Urgent announcement! Due to the disordered procedure, the military trial of death is about to begin! ”

"Military Trial of Death!?"

When they hear this term, people are just at a loss.

The incident happened suddenly, the situation was urgent, and the 'Machine City' didn't seem to have time to explain in detail, and continued:

"In three days, the 'wall' will collapse due to the tidal wave of mechanical collapse! At that time, the mutant beasts will be fully invaded, so please prepare all the Terrans to defend their homeland! ”
