After that, Fang Zheng had to talk a lot before he finally cleared up the misunderstanding. Fortunately, he seemed to have been exposed to these things since he was a child, so he didn't worship the things in these ruins as if they were some kind of miracle like other people.

After all, worshiping fire alarms is too childish.

"So, you are from another...tribe?"

“That’s true.”

While walking in the mechanical passage, Fang Zheng explained to Eloy.

"If you think of your ancestors as one big tribe, then you should be able to understand that we are from another tribe. You see, it's that simple."

"I see……"

Eloy nodded, and then something suddenly occurred to her.

"But didn't our ancestors leave a message saying that this world had been completely destroyed?"

“Their horizons are still limited.”

Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, and at this moment, a wolf-like mechanical monster suddenly jumped out from the side, with its head shining red, and pounced on Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng just waved his hand, and the next moment the mechanical monster collapsed to the ground, emitting a trace of electric light from its body, and then its head, which was originally shining red, turned back to blue, and it was pushed aside and lay down obediently.

Seeing this scene, the priestess and the former chief at the back were even more muttering. In a nutshell, what they said was nothing more than "the messenger of God purified the fallen mechanical messenger" and so on... Well, say whatever you want.

Fang Zheng was too lazy to care anymore.

"You see, for you, this world may be only this big. The place you explore and your tribe are your world. But in fact, it is not so. The so-called world is only a glimpse of the real world. To put it bluntly, the land you have explored is probably less than one ten-thousandth of this world."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.

"It's the same with those guys. The world they think it is is not really like that. So you see, maybe it's the end of the world for you, but it has no effect on us who are outside. It's the same with them."

"So, what is your purpose here?"

"As you can see, it's just a simple trip, looking for someone."

Fang Zheng glanced at the girls behind him. They were now surrounding Mikasa, explaining things to her in a flurry of voices. Obviously, they didn't want Mikasa to worship them as ancestors or gods like those chiefs or priests did.

"Thank you for helping our little girls, too."

"You're welcome."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Eloy also waved his hand and then looked forward. To be honest, for Eloy, she had explored those ancient ruins more than once. However, this ancient ruins in front of her was the easiest one she had ever explored. Of course, it shouldn't have been so easy. After all, according to the god named "Sion", this place was originally her domain, and later another mysterious existence took control. In fact, when they came in, the entire facility was indeed filled with what looked like dark blood vessels and vines wrapped around the walls and devices, and there were corrupted mechanical messengers everywhere, staring at them covetously.

Logically speaking, this should have been a tough battle. No wonder the previous chief led the most skilled warriors of their tribe to suffer a crushing defeat here.

But in front of this man, these fallen mechanical creations had no desire to attack, or rather, as soon as he appeared, those fallen mechanical creations seemed to regain consciousness and lay there motionless. Even those very terrifying mechanical monsters that were good at fighting were the same.

How did he do it?

Eloy also noticed that a flat plate made of light appeared next to the man's hand, and his fingers were dangling on it. Eloy had also seen this thing on Toudou Qilin and Julie, and according to them, it was a device called "terminal" in their world.

But... doesn't this device work here? Because Banjiu Satsuki said they couldn't connect to something called "the Internet" here...

"Those little girls are just not familiar with this aspect."

Noticing Eloy's gaze, Fang Zheng chuckled.

"They only know how to use them, so they're at a loss if they move to another place. It's like weapons. People who know how to use weapons may not necessarily be able to make them, right?"

"I see."

Hearing this, Eloy nodded in understanding.

"So, you're the one who made the 'weapon'?"

"Almost. At least better than those little girls."

Fang Zheng stopped talking here. They had already arrived at the core area of ​​the building. In the huge metal space, there was a round pillar standing in the middle. And at the bottom was an orange-yellow round interface. Seeing this interface, Eloy raised his spear and walked over, intending to hit the thing hard...

"Uh, leave this to me."

Fang Zheng quickly grabbed her and said, "Your method of physical invasion is quite wild... But let's follow the formal method."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng opened the terminal and quickly hacked into the core system.

“Dingdu——!!!”

At the same time, a rapid alarm sounded. Hearing this sound, the people behind Fang Zheng raised their heads and looked around uneasily. At the same time, an emotionless metallic voice emerged.

[Major threat detected, automatic defense mechanism activated - failed to start, reconnecting to the power grid...]

“Buzz buzz buzz——!!!!”

Along with the electronic sound, the lights around became more and more dazzling, and the girls became nervous at this moment. They held weapons in their hands and stared around anxiously.

"President?"

"Brother, I hope everything will be alright."

"Don't worry, it's just a last-ditch struggle. It's useless."

Hearing the girls' anxious cries, Fang Zheng seemed very calm. He tapped the keyboard lightly, and soon, the originally rapid sound of electricity subsided.

[Power network authority interrupted - closed - retrograde data link detected, core database under attack, defense mechanism activated... defense mechanism shut down... data link cut off... failed... failed... failed...]

Gradually, as the electronic sound disappeared, the surrounding light returned to normal. The next moment, a blue light shot out from the top of the metal pillar, forming a huge round sphere.

[Restrictions destroyed, core access successful, hello, Commander]

"Hey, hello, Sean."

Looking at the ball of light in front of him, Fang Zheng greeted him.

"Have the facility permissions here been confirmed?"

[Yes, it has been confirmed that you have the highest authority in this facility]

"Very good. Regarding the structural repair work of the facility, I will upload the next plan and start it once everything is ready."

[Understood, Commander]

After a brief explanation, Fang Zheng walked aside, and the other girls gathered around.

"What are you doing?"

Julie looked at Fang Zheng curiously and asked, while Fang Zheng reached out and touched Julie's head.

"Nothing much, I'm just going to use this place as my base for now."

"Hey? Here? Aren't we supposed to..."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Katima was shocked and wanted to say something, but considering Eloy and others, she quickly swallowed her words. Fortunately, at this time, the priestess was talking to the AI, that is, the god Sean in her mouth, and did not pay attention to the situation here.

"That's why we need it. You want us to join forces to deal with the enemy. What if the Light Chasers use the human wave tactic like before? Sha Yue should know that those guys have a lot of sword spirits in their hands."

“That’s true…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the girls also frowned. Indeed, they had not forgotten the situation when the academy was first attacked. At that time, the other party only sent a small team, but if Fang Zheng really intended to confront the Light Chaser head-on, then the other party's hometown would definitely not be home to only these sword elves.

"So brother wants to create these robots to fight against the Sword Spirits? But these mechanical beasts... aren't that strong?"

Toudou Qilin still gave them some face. Strictly speaking, in their eyes, this thing was just a large Lego toy that could be easily dismantled. Using this thing to deal with the Sword Spirit... well, it would probably end up being dismantled.

"I know that, and I will make improvements."

Fang Zheng waved his hand. In fact, during the invasion, he had already figured out the function of the entire base. This base was built on a huge crater, and its purpose was to prevent volcanic eruptions. Its energy came from geothermal energy. For now, if it was limited to this range, it could be said that the energy of this base was almost unlimited. This was also the reason why Fang Zheng valued it.

After all, many problems are energy problems. Once the energy problem is solved, the subsequent problems will be easy to solve.

As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. If there is rice, things will naturally be different.

Not only that, Fang Zheng did not create these machines simply to deal with the Sword Spirits, he also intended to destroy all the giants and these mechanical beasts. In this way, the threats on this continent would basically disappear, and the remaining problems would naturally not be a problem.

"Anyway, from now on, we will use this as our base... After all, there are still many things to do next."
