As the power of the settlement grew, both its territory and its inhabitants continued to increase.
Recently, some secrets have been circulating within the Guardian Group, all concerning the development of the settlement.
"The Southern Fourth District City-State is definitely going to take over the management of the Sixth Gathering Area."
"That's right. How can the Southern Fourth District City-State turn a blind eye to people changing their names so casually and disobeying the management of the settlement?"
"Should we run away? What if the city-states of the South Fourth District send a large force? It will be too late to escape then."
"Why are you running? Look at how cowardly you all are! Can't you see that there are so many people and you haven't made a sound?"
...
In some places where people gather, they are mostly long-time residents.
It was clear that there was a large united city-state above the settlement, namely the Southern Fourth District City-State.
This city-state directly governs dozens of settlements, and the sixth settlement is one of them.
Since Cai Zhenshao was killed, the Sixth Settlement has been practically defunct, essentially transformed into Wei Lun's private domain.
Even though their lives were getting better and better, their connection with the Southern Fourth District city-states had been almost completely severed, which was extremely dangerous, but Wei Lun was unaware of this.
Some people had privately told Wei Lun about the city-states in the Southern Fourth District, but Wei Lun didn't seem to care much.
In the apocalypse, the most important thing is strength! As long as you have strength, you have nothing to fear; if you don't have strength, even having someone protecting you is useless!
"Weilun, quickly try the fruit I just cut."
Qin Mutong's cheerful voice came from inside the house as she chatted and laughed while carrying a plate of fresh fruit.
Wei Lun specially bought this; as soon as he returned, he piled a large quantity of the goods into the warehouse.
Among them were many fruits for Qin Mutong to taste, such as cherries, oranges, and mangoes—a very generous selection.
"Mu Tong, you should eat too. I brought this especially for you. How can I eat it?"
Wei Lun said with great heartache, "In the apocalypse, they depend entirely on Wei Lun for food; they have nowhere to buy it."
Besides, Wei Lun thought that if he ate the fruit he brought, wouldn't Qin Mutong be gone?
“There’s still a lot left, honey. Don’t be shy, I’ll wash it for you to eat.”
As Qin Mutong spoke, her mind was filled with the towering image of Wei Lun, and she loved her husband wholeheartedly.
Wei Lun smiled, then sat down with Qin Mutong to rest, basking in the sun and eating fruit.
"I wish life could continue like this forever."
Qin Mutong sighed, "Although Wei Lun often spends time in the apocalypse, I always long for the days when Wei Lun is with me."
Yes, it will.
Wei Lun replied with a smile. At that moment, Du Kun suddenly walked in from outside the headquarters compound.
"Boss, good news!"
Du Kun was worried that he might not be able to say it properly through the earpiece, and besides, it wasn't an urgent matter, so he came over in person.
"What good news, Du Kun? What new thing have you come up with this time?"
Wei Lun asked, casually tossing Du Kun an orange. Du Kun was thrilled and immediately peeled and ate it.
"Boss, the robots have been modified by the engineers below, and the production line is now ready to produce combat robots!"
Du Kun ate an orange and spoke indistinctly, but the good news still shocked Wei Lun for a moment.
Such high efficiency indicates that the engineers put in a lot of effort to complete the renovation so quickly.
"Really? You can produce combat robots now? Do you have any samples?"
Wei Lun suddenly stood up and said, "You know, Wei Lun has been thinking about this robot constantly and has never forgotten it."
With combat robots, it's like expanding Weren's guard, and they don't need food or fear battle losses.
This is absolutely the best news right now!
"Boss, we know you need a sample. We've already produced one, and it's in the target area right now!"
Du Kun said with great pride, "This also means that the robot production line can officially start operation, and from now on, there will be a continuous stream of combat robots."
Will the robot army be far behind? Zombies and the city-states of the Southern Fourth District are all unimportant!
"Let's go to the target area!"
Wei Lun immediately pulled Du Kun outside, then turned back and said something.
"Mu Tong, take good care of yourself at home. Du Kun and I are going to check on the robot!"
After speaking, Wei Lun and Du Kun disappeared, while Qin Mutong sighed.
The freshly washed fruit will likely be eaten by her alone; Wei Lun is truly a busy man.
Qin Mutong carried the fruit and walked into the house.
As for Wei Lun and Du Kun, they were on their way to the target area at that moment.
Because these are combat robots, a spacious combat arena is required for training. Training in densely populated areas could pose a danger.
A moment later,
The two arrived at the shooting range and the first thing they saw was a combat robot fully armored, holding an automatic rifle, with sharp spikes on its arms.
"Du Kun, what weapons can this robot use?"
Looking at the automatic rifle, Wei Lun felt it was somewhat outdated. In the future, the real weapons to be equipped would be laser guns and laser swords!
"Boss, this robot is intelligent and can use all weapons. For safety reasons, we will temporarily test it with an automatic rifle."
As Du Kun spoke, knowing the boss wanted to see a laser gun demonstration, he gave an order.
A soldier replaced the automatic rifle in the robot's hand with a laser gun.
The robot wielding a machine gun looked like a creature from an alien war, with its gleaming silver helmet, cold iron armor, and gleaming eyes.
"Let's begin. I want to see its fighting power!"
Wei Lun said that everyone tried their best to stand as far back as possible, using binoculars to observe, and that there were many guards protecting the checkpoint.
After a short while, the robot began to move.
Rolling shots, side-firing shots, jumping shots...
It is incredibly agile; this robot can even perform many actions that humans cannot, making it extremely powerful in combat!
Beams of laser light shot out from the target area, and no obstacle could stop this cold robot; every shot pierced through the target.
Wei Lun was very satisfied. This was perfect! This combat robot was just as agile as a human.
Under the guise of a safety test, including all the commands issued by humans, the robot faithfully completed them all!
Robots, in essence, possess intelligence endowed by humans. Their cold, unchanging programming begins with complete obedience to their master's commands, followed by accurate judgment of various external situations. Moreover, their technology represents the most advanced intelligence before the apocalypse.
The safety features have been tested by several countries, and the world before the disaster had deployed many combat robots.
This time, the golden age of robots has been recreated. With combat robots, the Guardian Group has truly stood up!
