Machine War: Infinite Frontier

Seeing Xiangyu Miyuki gently take the syringe away from her neck, Xiao Yun smiled slightly when he saw the slight frown and discomfort.

"How does it feel?"

"It feels cold and a little itchy." Xiangyu Miyuki closed her eyes and slowly felt her changes, and said, "It seems like these drugs are pouring into my body along with my blood."

As she spoke, Xiangyu Miyuki took a long, deep breath, tilted her head and said, "I feel a lot more relaxed, thank you."

Of course, it's just a feeling. Even if the magic medicine doesn't work in the blink of an eye, of course it will take effect very quickly.

"That's good." Xiao Yun nodded with a smile and said, "As for the danger you mentioned, don't worry. If you follow us, maybe our troubles will be implicated on you. If you are in danger, I will." It’s just a matter of time for us to help each other.”

"Are you guys in trouble too?" Xiangyu Miyuki showed a somewhat surprised expression. She was silent for a moment and shook her head gently at Xiao Yun: "It's okay, I can help you."

Xiao Yun looked at Xiangyu Miyuki, and reflexively reached out to touch Xiangyu Miyuki's head: "Okay, if you encounter someone who comes to trouble you, we will help you solve it, and you can act with us in the future."

Xiangyu Miyuki hesitated: "But..."

"Not that much." Xiao Yun laughed and said, "Don't underestimate us. You answer a few questions first."

Xiangyu Miyuki bit her lower lip and nodded: "Yes."

Xiao Yun said: "Do you know where there is a gathering place near here? You should have heard just now that if there is no supply, our food and water sources will only last for a few days at most. If it is too far away from here, we will wait until the dust is smaller. We’re about to leave immediately.”

"I know." Xiangyu Miyuki nodded slightly and said, "It takes about half a day to walk from here. That place is just a small settlement."

It's nice to have a settlement, and it only takes half a day. We can rush there at any time after the sandstorm subsides. Finding something to eat and drink from the settlement shouldn't be a big problem.

However, Xiao Yun also had other questions that he wanted to ask. After thinking about it, he buried some of the questions and asked, "Are there any large military bases nearby?"

Xiangyu Miyuki shook her head: "I don't know about that."

It doesn't matter if you don't know. Just wait until you go to the settlement to investigate.

Shumu, Suzaku and Lingwu went to explore the situation below and it took a long time before they came back. When they came back, they brought back a lot of things with backpacks and cartons they found from nowhere.

Xiao Yun leaned over with some curiosity and watched as Shumu, Zhuque and Lingwu poured out all the things and picked up each item to look at it.

There are mobile phones, PDAs, some small odds and ends, and some handheld game consoles and the like. There are not many things, but the main thing is what Ling Wu brought back, a whole box of spare batteries.

"Where did you find these things?"

Shumu Zhuque said with a smile: "I found it all the way down. There are some unused workshops down there."

"How's the situation downstairs?" Xiao Yun threw the things in his hands back, picked up the game console and tried to turn it on, and then a low battery prompt appeared on the screen.

Shumu Suzaku said: "The situation is very bad after we get to the underground part. There are all the insects we have seen before. I am worried that if there is too much noise, it may affect this place, so I came back with Ling Wu."

Leonard directly picked up something like a mobile phone and took it apart two or three times. After checking it for a while, he took out a spare battery and tested it. He didn't know what this guy was doing.

The key is that Leonard has been here for such a long time and feels nothing is happening. It's not like Luo who makes any movement very quickly. The feedback is so strong that it makes people feel confident. Leonard is the complete opposite. You If you don't ask him, then he won't say that there is no feedback and there is really no sense of experience.

If it were an ordinary BOSS, he might still pretend to understand, but Xiao Yun can't do that. If you don't understand, you don't understand. If you don't understand, you have to ask: "What do you use these things for?"

Leonard didn't even raise his head: "Try to see if the local communication equipment can connect to the planet's network. I specially asked Suzaku to pay attention to it on the road and bring it back. Try to find the local communication frequency, but it may be in vain. If there was a satellite signal, we would have connected it already."

Xiao Yun shrugged: "Can the battery be used?"

"Do you want to charge that gaming device?" Leonard glanced at the thing in Xiao Yun's hand and nodded slightly: "The battery is well preserved, you can try it."

Xiao Yun took a battery and the game console and sat back down and started to study. Charging and turning on the game would be enough. After waiting for a while, the game console turned on smoothly. Xiao Yun was also going to use this thing to kill time. Different worlds The games are all different, and they always bring Xiao Yun a great gaming experience.

A whole day passed and the sandstorm showed no signs of abating. On the contrary, the sandstorm got bigger and bigger, forcing Xiao Yun and the others to stay in this place that was not safe and without any supplies for one more day, until the storm abated. Got something and left in a hurry.

After picking up so many things, Leonard finally took away only a communicator that he had repaired and modified. Xiao Yun only brought the game console and the spare battery that could still be used. After packing them all, they still had zero value. Wu, Lingyi and Shumu Suzaku were carried on their backs.

We advanced cautiously for a long time and finally saw the settlement that Xiangyu Miyuki mentioned. It was a small camp built with various woolen canvases under countless boulders. Many tents were set up under the boulders. It doesn't look like a settlement anyway, but more like a post station, using scrap steel and stones as walls to protect the people inside.

In ancient times, due to distance limitations, caravans could only travel thirty to forty kilometers a day. This is a speed that is unimaginable to modern people. After all, a car can easily cover thirty to forty kilometers in half an hour. , at that time there would be a resting station at intervals along the way.

This place is a bit similar to an ancient inn. It's okay to say it's a settlement. It's quite popular here and you can see a lot of camels resting next to the inn.

The appearance of Xiao Yun and others also made the people in the settlement a little nervous. After all, compared to their ordinary clothes, Xiao Yun and others looked like they were not easy to mess with. More importantly, the weapons they carried could also pose a threat to them.

Leonard glanced at the people on his side and then took the initiative to raise his hand and slowly walked towards the direction of the settlement. This move also made the people in the settlement relax a little, and they waited for Leonard on guard. close.

It wasn't until after a while that Leonard finished negotiating with the other party that he came back.

Leonard shook his head slightly: "This is a rest stop on the trade road and the busiest market in the nearby area. On weekdays, many people come to this place to trade. There is also a place for us to live, but we need something valuable here. As currency, you can also use the material coupons given by the defense force, but unfortunately we probably don’t have anything on us that can be used as currency.”

"Although ammunition and the like can also be used as currency, we use special non-standard ammunition, and the quantity we have is really not worth much money."

Leonard spoke in a very calm tone about their biggest frustration now. After finding the settlement, they could communicate with the aborigines to get more information, but they were stumped by the word money.

But Xiao Yun laughed when he heard Leonard's words. He didn't panic at all but was confident. It's so familiar, isn't it.

He has already experienced this kind of thing. Didn't he encounter this kind of situation the last time he went to the Macross world? It's hard to go anywhere without money.

"Suzaku, open the box."

As Xiao Yun finished speaking, Suzaku quickly took down the box behind him and opened it. Xiao Yun reached out and took out a few pieces of gold from the secret compartment of the box, and then a few pieces of gold appeared in his hand.

"Enough?"

Leonard was stunned for a moment, but before he could ask, Xiao Yun explained triumphantly: "This kind of thing has long been a thing of the past in version 1.0. Now the new version not only has gold and gems in the supply box, but also the like. , even there are two pieces of gold in the backpack of the combat uniform. How could we not think of things that we could think of many years ago to ensure the safety of pilots? You just have to practice too few missions. For this kind of thing, communicate with the auxiliary AI. ”

Leonard took a few gold bars speechlessly: "I'm sorry, my AI is the type that talks little."

Xiao Yun curled his lips and waved his hand. Leonard hurried away to stop wasting time. Soon someone enthusiastically greeted Xiao Yun and others into the settlement with a cheerful smile.

The entrance and exit of this settlement is under the huge rocks in the wilderness. But after entering, I found that there is a cave inside that is much larger than what I saw from the outside. The real settlement is only inside the entrance. The entire settlement is built on a rock wall surrounded by It is a very huge cave with just a gap in it to allow sunlight to shine in. If you look carefully, you can still see many traces of manual excavation and a lot of industrial equipment hanging on the mountain wall.

The flow of people cannot be said to be coming and going, but there are many people living in this place, and they dress in various ways.

Following the guide, Xiao Yun also saw a lot of scenes, such as a woman in cool clothes standing outside the tent, waving enthusiastically...

The place where Xiao Yun and the others are going to live is deep in this space. It is a huge tent and a large space that has been hollowed out of the mountain. Although the facilities inside are not luxurious, they are very complete and are enough for Xiao Yun and the others. A team of people used it.

Shumu Suzaku took off his helmet and shook his head, sighing with emotion: "It's like a post-apocalyptic wasteland. This is the first time I've been exposed to such a situation."

"That's because you've seen too little. You need to practice more." Leonard replied lightly. He also took off his helmet and put it aside to look at the temporary residence: "A piece of gold can allow us to stay for three years." "He will also provide us with food and water, wine and other things are not included."

"OK."

Xiao Yun didn't have any objections to this. This settlement felt pretty good, but it didn't have anything. It had electricity, water, food, and so many people. Although it wasn't particularly big, it was at least a very standard village camp. feeling.

"Leonard, change your clothes and go buy some clothes. Come back and inquire about the news. Take Suzaku with you."

Leonard nodded. He also understood that it was impossible for Xiao Yun to do such a thing. Then the only person who was most familiar with this current environment was himself, and he could only do his part. If Xiao Yun was allowed to do it, it would actually be impossible. It's not impossible, but professional matters should be left to professionals.

Xiao Yun said to the remaining three women: "You guys have a rest first. I think you can take a shower here."

"Really?" A hint of joy appeared on Xiangyu Miyuki's face: "Um...can I take a shower first?"

"Go." Xiao Yun waved his hands grandly and said boldly: "Let's have a good meal and relax today."

Reiwu and Reiyi did not cheer, only Miyuki put her hands on her face and responded happily.

"That's great. I haven't eaten normal food for a long time. Thank you so much, Mr. Xiao Yun."

"It's a small thing."

Xiangyu Miyuki smiled lightly, turned around and trotted away. She couldn't wait to take a bath.

And Xiao Yun's eyes were shining when he looked at Xiangyu Miyuki's leaving figure, as if he had seen something special and precious, and he felt like he wanted to take it for himself. There was interest and possession in his eyes. There is curiosity but only no lust.

Because the source of possession in Xiao Yun's heart is not love, but research. This is a possibility that allows everyone except the Zhi clan to use the armor.

After two days of contact, Xiao Yun had already discovered that this girl was extremely weak and her physical condition was also quite bad. She would be very tired after even a little exercise. She was weak in physical strength and strength. Giving Xiangyu Miyuki the can of nano-treatment potion was indeed harmful. It works, but just one can is not enough to completely improve Xiangyu Miyuki's body. It needs continuous injection. Just like Xue'er from the 00 World Angel Team, only the continuous injection of nano-healing medicine can maintain her current condition. As for gradually To get better, more therapeutic nanorobots must be used in conjunction with corresponding equipment.

But now these two conditions are not met, but the current number of nano-injections alone can maintain Xiangyu Miyuki for a long time without worrying. If the medical level of this world is sufficient, it can also be maintained for a longer period of time with nano-injections.

Anyway, even someone with the physical fitness of Aiyu Miyuki can transform into a space knight by dressing up. As long as they can figure out this problem, then Xiao Yun and the others can also use the same technology to transform. Now, there is another difficulty in studying Zhi clan armor. Even the matter transformation technology, maybe all of them can be completely cracked in this world.

only……

"There may be a lot of competitors. If there are too many people in control, this thing won't be valuable, right?" Xiao Yun thought while stroking his chin: "It took a lot of effort to push the war weapons of World 0 to the MS development route. If we let If other people have mastered Tegaman’s technology, are they afraid it will spread?”

"No, no, this technology must be exclusive." (End of chapter)
