Chapter 26: The Mechanical Crisis
Now, more than three hours after Dr. Goddard and others determined through surveillance that Prester and his gang had taken supplies from the upper floors.
It was confirmed that Prester's soldiers had taken most of the supplies from the dome with them.
They didn't mean to stay here to embarrass Dr. Goddard and the others, as if there were still some things they were in a hurry to do.
Dr. Goddard breathed a sigh of relief, and then said that even if they continued to break through to the lower level, he would be able to block the entrance, leaving Prester with no way to enter above.
No one could hear this, and neither did Andy, who taunted Dr. Prester on the monitor, only to be able to obtain access to the surveillance network and open the door simply by operating in an external facility.
When the scientists gathered, most of them were a little confused.
"There is hardly anything left .... Medicine, food, clean water... There were also batteries and some small devices, as well as some rooms that we couldn't open before, and they swept them away. ”
Donald summed it up one by one, and the strings that confirmed that there was no problem with his body also came here.
Dr. Goddard spun around in circles with his hands behind his back, looking puzzled.
"What else is that bastard Prester doing? ..... He didn't even plan to take the dome? Where is this going? ”
He eventually sighed and admitted that he couldn't figure it out.
Dr. Agnes was more concerned about what would happen next than guessing where Dr. Prester would go.
"The re-closure of the Great Dome has an interval time limit that is difficult to modify .... Dr. Prester forcibly opened the Great Dome this time, presumably with an emergency mask... We're going to have to go out unimpeded for a week. ”
"And our supplies are estimated to not last for a month, what should we do...."
After hearing this, Dr. Donald and James subconsciously looked at Dr. Goddard, who had not yet made a sound, but Paul Chords reacted differently.
Paul spread his hands.
"Otherwise, just leave and go back."
The strings express a different view.
"Leaving is leaving, but how can you go back?"
She looked at Paul with a stern look of uncanny anger in her eyes.
"I don't know what you think, we're all infected with that terrible virus, and you don't want to think about what terrible things would happen if we spread the virus? And.... We all rely on Formula C to suppress the virus, and it is a problem to survive for a few years just by relying on this. ”
Paul looked disimpressed.
"Heh.... That's you, I haven't taken formula C in a long time. ”
Agnes looked at Paul in disbelief, and then it dawned on her.
"You.... You're not going to keep making Mantatt mush...? ”
Paul nodded indifferently.
"I've done a detailed blood test on myself a long time ago, and the new plague virus didn't hurt me very badly, so.... I tried, and it didn't die. ”
Agnes let out a low cry and blamed Paul for not risking his life for the experiment.
"Teacher...."
Paul was only better with Dr. Agnes.
"I heard the newcomer say that the new plague has been circulating outside for a long time, hasn't it? With the conditions outside, how can it be isolated and prevented? Haven't we all seen the pre-war experimental data? What kind of human and material resources did they have back then? Twenty years have passed and no vaccine has been developed, so what success can we take? ”
"If this continues, we will either starve to death here or die of disease here.... Or was caught and eaten by those natives outside, what's the point of staying here? If you want me to say, let's break up, he will go back to his Hoover Dam, I will go back to my Nexus, and she will go back to her San Francisco..."
Without waiting for the strings to stop, Dr. Goddard snapped.
"No way!"
Bruises appeared on Dr. Goddard's bald head, and Paul, the bastard, he had been looking at it unpleasantly, and he didn't have a sense of responsibility and empathy in his heart....
"We are here, here is our last line of defense against the new plague, the only possibility of victory, no one is allowed to leave!"
Several people quarreled, but before these arguments could come to an end, some voices kept coming.
The sounds weren't loud, but they caught Andy's attention, and he glanced around, and there was a mess everywhere.... There are a few strange robots around the area that operate terminals, maintain the dome, or do cleaning-like tasks.
These robots have a transparent jar, right on the "head", and inside the jar is a yellow gel-soaked one.... Brain?
Andy saw that one by one, the robots paused like marionettes after making small noises.
"Hey, look at those..."
Andy yells at a few red-faced scientists with thick necks, hoping to get their attention.
But it doesn't seem to care.
The robots shut down for a few dozen seconds, then suddenly restarted, and then they turned to look at the scientists.
Their brains installed in the jar are connected to a mechanical device similar to an eye, and these artificial eyes are directly connected to that brain, and are now emitting a sluggish killing intent.
Andy scanned it in V mode, and sure enough, it saw an unusual hostile reaction.
"Don't make any noise!"
Andy shouted again as he pulled out two pistols, this time Dr. Goddard muttered a break from the argument.
"What are you doing?"
He watched Andy take out his firearm, and nervously turned off his mouth, which was still outputting just now.
"It's going to be fast."
The robot suddenly said this, and then immediately leaned forward with the upper half of its body, and the two tracks on its lower body spun rapidly, like a small chariot.
"Get out of the way!"
Andy raised his self-charging pistol and opened fire, the laser melting the robot's metal tracks, and it lost its balance and changed direction in the middle of the charge, crashing into the huge lab bench with sparks. "Boom!! ——”
The scientists, who were still arguing just now, were collectively frightened, watching the heavy metal test bench be deformed by the robot that sprinted with all its strength without reservation.
If a person were to be struck like this, it would be estimated that internal organs would gush out of all the holes at this moment.
"The robots are crazy, you guys hide!"
Andy uses a python to shoot at other robots, and two more robots fall to the ground after a deafening gunshot.
Dr. Goddard led the others toward the elevator, with Andy in front of them.
Seeing that James was also trembling and preparing to escape, Xian couldn't help but say sarcastic.
"You have a gun, why don't you go and help people?"
James smiled awkwardly, and wanted to quibble a few words, but who knew that a flash of lightning suddenly flashed, hitting the wall and ejecting continuously.
He screamed in fright, and ran away with his head in spite of his image.
Xian couldn't help but shake her head as she watched the scene, carefully dodging some of the flying lasers and lightning rays as she asked Andy if she wanted to help.
"Andy! Can you hold on? ”
At the moment, Andy is in a bitter battle.
After the robots responsible for the maintenance and experimentation of the Great Dome were knocked down, some robots responsible for security also appeared.
Compared to the general model, they are equipped with some attack equipment and have stronger protection and mobility.
The electric rays fired by the Tesla gun are constantly bounced around, and the power of this thing is that it can constantly bounce between the objects it hits, so it can threaten Andy behind cover.
He was now hiding behind a lab bench, grinning at the lightning.
Combat armor and lined armor helped him withstand some of the damage, but it was still quite painful and his body felt numb.
"Don't need the strings, you hide!"
Andy waved his hand anxiously at her, and another flash of lightning flashed, and a flask burst on the spot.
Xian had been thinking about weapons for a long time, after all, she had always been reluctant to be controlled by Dr. Goddard and was keen to wander around.
As a result, during the years of the Dome, she was also seeking weapons, but there were no weapons in the Dome, and the security was fully automated.
With her expertise and the resources of the Great Dome, she has developed a number of portable bioweapons, but they are of little use to the copper-skinned robots.
She had to turn away.
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
