In the future, Earth is no longer habitable due to thermonuclear war, world-ending earthquakes, tectonic plate shifts, species extinction, and psionic awakenings...
Qin Che, an ordinary perso...
A rally, huh...
At this very moment, these two bigwigs are sitting on the rooftop balcony of the building, eating.
"Aren't you really going to go down and take a look?"
"Say something encouraging to give the soldiers confidence."
Old Man Qiu shook his head: "The Mechanical Army doesn't have this habit. After fighting for so many years, everyone always goes all out."
"Oh right, I don't understand why you rely on faith," Qin Che said with a smile.
Old Man Qiu glanced at him and said, "Actually, you can too. If you plan to convert to my Mechanic Church, you will be my chosen next pope."
Qin Che: ……
So, you think the papacy is solely based on power, and whether you believe it or not doesn't matter?
Old Man Qiu laughed heartily and said, "I know you are an atheist, but that doesn't matter. If we can win the war, everyone will be a god, and then there will be no need for faith."
Qin Che nodded and said, "After you've defeated the clones, help me defeat those ghost soldiers and generals."
"Yes, I will take all the popes with me to the north."
"I heard that the company's clones are getting stronger with each generation. The soldiers gathered north of the river this time are called T1 warriors?" Qin Che asked.
Old Qiu said, "Their genes were taken from the original Unit 1. The company has a total of ten clones. In the old world, these ten people were all outstanding individuals. Their physical functions and potential in all aspects were one in a billion."
"And T1 is the strongest in their military system. It has inherited the memories, combat experience and battlefield knowledge of its predecessors, making it very difficult to deal with."
"Furthermore, the clones do not possess a large amount of emotion; their emotional output is stable and controlled by the Hive host. This is a terrifying army..."
Qin Che suddenly realized: "I can roughly imagine what the Vatican will have to face."
"Go ahead and fight, just do it the way we agreed."
Qin Che nodded.
Prior to this, both parties had already communicated with each other.
As for how to fight and what strategies to use, Qin Che and the Pope working together should prevent the enemy from finding any loopholes or opportunities.
Qin Che was relieved once again.
Fortunately, there is a simulator as his benchmark.
This time, he became friends with the Pope ahead of schedule.
This old devil is really troublesome.
Someone with Ed's strength could kill ten of them.
'Forbidden Land' and 'Withered' are both extremely terrifying characteristics.
It can alter the ecological environment and even lead to death, and the process is irreversible.
...
After the meeting.
Qin Che returned to Ambassador Leopard Court's palace.
Time is up!
He started the simulation—
[Wasteland survival simulator in progress.]
Qin Che's purpose was clear this time.
He was going to help investigate the specific coordinates of the Hive host.
And then I'll personally take a stroll over the ice field to keep a close eye on the situation there.
This is also an advantage of emulators.
Qin Che can learn about recent changes on the battlefield through the simulator, and although he is actually in Zhongzhou, he can know what is happening in the distant Ice Plains.
He contacted some high-ranking officials in the Vatican.
They obtained intelligence files on Hive Host and Greenery Biopharmaceuticals from them.
All information regarding the Hive host was classified as 'Top Secret Document'.
Qin Che can be used at will.
Although he does not have all the same powers as the Pope in the Vatican, he still has absolute authority in some key areas.
Old Man Qiu truly regarded him as an ally.
It was made available for Qin Che to see.
For Masters, once they have the information, it is almost impossible for anyone to stop their actions.
However, very little information about the cellular host is found in these archives.
The Vatican has not located them.
Some files are even completely blank.
It's just 'top secret'.
This left Qin Che feeling helpless, as he couldn't find any clues in the files.
However, at this moment he is in a simulation, which means he has hundreds of years to find the control room on his own and shut down the mainframe.
Don't forget the Master's lifespan, which is at least five hundred years.
Qin Che has plenty of time.
So he officially set off.
In the first year, he headed towards the Earth Sea.
The following year, Qin Che defeated the clones on that road and destroyed several main cities built by the Iron Beast Army.
In the third year, Qin Che saw the desert again and went into it.
In the fourth year, Qin Che left the border of Shenzhou and came to the outer realms. He began to search carefully, leaving no corner unexplored.
In the fifth year, Qin Che achieved nothing.
In the sixth year, he left the desert and entered the lair of the Iron Beasts, within their sphere of influence.
Qin Che didn't intend to care about the outcome of the Central Plains War. No matter how they fought, this was a simulated world.
He is not affected by the war.
All you need to do is locate the Hive host and note its coordinates.
In the seventh year, Qin Che still had no results.
...It wasn't until the tenth year that Qin Che arrived at the Earth Sea.
With his strength, he could teleport directly to his destination in the first year.
But that's meaningless.
The Hive host may exist anywhere within the Iron Beast Kingdom.
He destroyed many Ironborn capital cities, as well as company branches and underground research labs along the way.
There are also some of their facilities and factories.
No one can stop it.
Because Qin Che arrives and leaves quickly, he can easily evade pursuit.
That year, he finally found a clue to the Hive host, just a tiny clue, but it led him to pinpoint a region.
The company's headquarters are located in the Earth Sea, and an artificial island was built around the central area of the Earth Sea for the company to live on.
Within the Iron Beast Kingdom, the artificial island serves as their capital.
Clones are everywhere. They have white skin, blue eyes, and tall stature, and are not the same race as the humans on the land of China.
Qin Che was a time traveler, so he naturally knew the origins of these people.
A foreign company, having experienced the Old World, possessing advanced technology, and having lain dormant on an artificial island in the Earth Sea for centuries.
Now, they have mature technology and production chains, and Hive hosts that can create countless clones for them to be deployed on the battlefield, trying to leave this wasteland and find a habitable place.
How can we let them succeed?
