Chapter 162: Search, Support

“According to the information we have, the energy core should be nearby. Let’s split up and search.” After chasing Todd away, Teresa quickly adjusted her emotions and continued her work.

She and Zhou Chen formed two teams with a robot in each team and began to explore the area.

The reason why each team was assigned an intelligent robot was because they were equipped with specialized detectors, making it easier to discover the goal of this mission.

Teresa went to explore this building with the robot, while Zhou Chen and the other robot went to explore a factory-like building beside it.

“This is a firearms factory of the pre apocalyptic period. There might be guards inside. Please be careful!”

When Zhou Chen and the intelligent robot walked toward the factory, the robot reminded him in a low mechanical voice.

“Hmm,” Zhou Chen nodded slightly and walked to the entrance of the factory at a moderate pace.

This was a very thick metal door. There was a sensor-like thing on the door which probably scanned id cards to allow entry.

Just as Zhou Chen was thinking about whether to charge in violently or find a window to enter, the intelligent robot extended its hand and pressed it on the sensor. Then, it fell silent.

“Is it planning to crack the sensor?” Zhou Chen was looking forward to it since this was a better means of entry than what he had been planning to do.

The robot was slower than Zhou Chen had expected, but it still succeeded. After about five minutes, it slowly opened the metal door.

There was a corridor inside. In the corridor were a few humanoid monsters with tattered clothes hanging on them. When these monsters saw the metal door open, they charged out like a swarm of bees.

‘Were these mutated from the people here in the past?’ Zhou Chen thought to himself. Then, he raised his hand to stop the robot from attacking, indicating that he would deal with these monsters.

Zhou Chen already had rich experience dealing with these mutated monsters.

He first punched fiercely, and the surging Eight Desolates True Energy knocked the charging monsters back.

Then, he exerted strength on his feet. His figure flashed, and he arrived behind the monsters that had been sent flying. He used punches and kicks to skillfully break their bodies.

After quickly defeating these monsters, he did not stop. He continued to use his Eight Desolates True Energy to attack their bodies, shattering their bodies.

“Alright, I’m done with these few.”

After spending some effort to finish off these monsters, as he had expected, he did not obtain any passive skills. He continued to move forward with the robot.

Zhou Chen was not really confident about locating the goal of this mission because the target was a machine. He did not know enough about it. Even if that thing was placed in front of him, he might not be able to recognize it. Therefore, the robot would help him find it while he protected the robot.

However, Zhou Chen did not become a bodyguard. He still actively looked around, searching for system-marked things; the system had said that there were items in this world that could be brought back to Planet Blue.

Zhou Chen gently pushed open a half-opened office door and saw a skeleton in uniform lying on the ground. Beside the skeleton was a pistol that looked to be in fine condition.

“This pistol’s quality is quite good.”

Zhou Chen quickly picked it up. Although this thing was not marked by the system, it had value.

“Li, this is a Glock. It uses a standard 9mm bullet. It is in good condition. The market price is 120 Paradise Dollars.” At this moment, the intelligent robot also walked into the room. It saw Zhou Chen playing with the gun and provided him with some information.

“Okay, I will take it,” Zhou Chen replied and walked to a box on the table. He found the pistol’s bullets in it, so he put them in his pocket.

In fact, Zhou Chen had obtained some firearms yesterday, but they were old and not in a good condition. He had left them in the jeep and did not bring them over.

Since there were better things in the city, he was even more unwilling to use those lousy things.

‘This pistol is definitely not as powerful as my fist, but it has the advantage in terms of attack range. Moreover, its use is not only in combat.’

Collecting firearms to increase his combat strength was only a small part of the reason. His main goal was to use them to train in Card Creator.

His current standard as a Card Creator was only enough to create some simple items. This pistol was his next goal. He planned to develop a series of firearms cards to increase his standard as a Card Creator.

While Zhou Chen was searching for other things in the room, the robot had already pulled out a connector from its body and connected to the computer in the room to search for information.

This process took a few minutes. During this time, a mutated human monster and two canine monsters came and were quickly dealt with by Zhou Chen.

“Have you found the information?” Zhou Chen asked when he saw the robot remove the connector from the computer and retract it into its body.

“No,” the robot immediately shook its head.

“According to the information I gathered, this factory was developing new weapons before the disaster. There is no energy core here.”

“New weapons? Like what?” Zhou Chen was interested.

“It’s mainly beam guns and other energy firearms,” it explained briefly to Zhou Chen.

“Then let’s go and collect these things? They will definitely count as a contribution too, right?” Although they did not find the energy core, Zhou Chen felt that these firearms would be valuable as well.

“I don’t recommend this operation, because the information shows that the development of these firearms has not been completed, and there are only some half-finished products,” the robot immediately retorted.

“Half-completed? Forget it.” Zhou Chen was only interested in finished and reliable weapons. He would not be able to understand semi-finished products and had no time to research them.

“I’ll go and collect a few more firearms.” Since he could find a good pistol here, it should not be difficult to find some firearms. Zhou Chen immediately replied to the robot and turned to leave the room.

“Li, the captain sent me a message. They’ve found a clue to the target, but they’re in trouble and need our support.” Just as Zhou Chen was about to leave the room, the robot stopped him..
