Star Railway: The Last of the Grammer Riders

Chapter 24: The Abandoned of Grammer (1)

(This is a side story, you can just read it for fun. The plot basically does not affect the main plot, it just supplements some information.)
Sky Front: The Republic of Grammer, an empire with powerful biomechanical technology.

This force was originally used to resist the Zerg and seize the resources for survival from them.

And one day, a very different looking cavalry was born...

Although he has silver hair, his eyes are not iridescent but blue.

Such a unique cavalry was also identified as an abnormal product because of its different appearance.

The moment they set out for the battlefield, they were ordered to be abandoned by the Empire...

In the end, the mecha was destroyed, and the man was thrown into a huge pit that buried the corpses of the Zerg.

And he is AR-26709, the only Iron Knight born with his own 'self'.

But it is also the only "abnormal product" among the Grammer Iron Cavalry that was abandoned by the Empire.

People often say that those who survive a disaster will be blessed in the future, but unfortunately this does not apply to him...

Because the mecha was completely damaged, the symptoms of entropy loss continued to get stronger.

And he could only rely on his injured and weak body to find the path called "life".

But because the pit was very deep, it was impossible to get back to the land by hand alone, and finally found a very strange crack in the pile of corpses.

The other side of the crack is as black as ink, which can create fear in people's hearts.

"Fuck! Let's fight!" AR-26709 staggered into the black crack.

The moment he entered, AR-26709 felt that the dissociation in his body had obviously recovered a lot.

But the next second, AR-26709 was knocked away and fell to the ground, vomiting blood.

"Pfft... Damn it..." AR-26709 wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up.

The darkness made him lose his vision.

He had no way of knowing what had happened.

Although the attacker's figure can still be vaguely seen, the actual location cannot be accurately captured.

What's more, as a newly born cavalry, they have no help from weapons and mechas.

Therefore, the moment he stood up, AR-26709 was knocked away again.

But this time it was different. When he was knocked away, there was an obvious sound of wind behind him.

The sound of the wind indicated either an evacuation route or the wind from the attack.

As for the first impossibility, if it is an exit then there must be light.

So there is only one possibility that this is another attack.

"No, we have to dodge now!" AR-26709 responded after making an immediate judgment.

He flipped in the air and barely avoided the attack.

And that attack also hit the first attacker.

After the hit, a sharp scream was heard.

Finally, he fell to the ground and died, and AR-26709 apparently found that his vision became clearer after hearing the screams.

At least the enemy's movements can be seen clearly.

In just a moment, he noticed figures rushing towards him from both sides.

As he got closer, the opponent raised his leg high and chopped down AR-26709.

AR-26709 relied on his unclear vision to dodge the attack and returned a punch as a reward.

After the attack clearly hits, immediately follow up with a punch.

After these two punches, a blue-purple mark with a hint of black appeared.

As the mark continued to flow, the other person's body began to change color.

From black to a dull purple-blue.

All the creatures around also changed color at the same time.

All of a sudden, all living things appeared in front of AR-26709.

It only took a moment for his scalp to go numb, because the creatures here were chaotic and disorderly, with different shapes.

Some are humanoid, some are giant beasts, some are insects, and some have parts of their bodies that can be seen as the remains of intelligent machines, which clearly show that they have been parasitized by some creature.

But they all have one thing in common, which is that they are unscrupulously devouring everything, including their own "compatriots".

Seeing this, AR-26709 knew that there was no going back, and the only way out was to fight his way out of here.

I saw a few chaotic creatures, and they swarmed over immediately after noticing the presence of AR-26709.

It was as if he were some kind of delicious delicacy.

However, when the first one approached, AR-26709 punched him.

However, this time, it seemed that because this form had no solidified shape, AR-26709's fist passed through.

Unfortunately, after passing through, AR-26709's arm was firmly fixed.

And it seems to be being assimilated by the chaotic creatures.

AR-26709 clearly felt that his arm had lost sensation, and the arm that had been assimilated by it was also constantly spreading to his shoulder.

Under pressure, AR-26709 had no choice but to tear off its entire arm to avoid being assimilated by these unknown species, and lost consciousness.

At the moment of assimilation, AR-26709 clearly felt mentally exhausted and had the illusion of wanting to fall asleep completely.

The moment this feeling appeared, AR-26709 was alerted. Because as a time traveler, he knew that the Grammer Iron Cavalry could not dream and could not really sleep.

After tearing off its arm, AR-26709 immediately moved away from the chaotic creatures.

But those chaotic creatures did not let him go and kept chasing him.

Fortunately, these chaotic creatures are slow and can escape the opponent's search range by running at full speed.

Eventually AR-26709 successfully reached a seemingly safe place, but it was unknown whether it was in danger.

But the corpses everywhere showed one thing: this place was not as safe as imagined.

After AR-26709 searched around, he found several pieces of intelligent robot wreckage.

He broke off the more complete robotic arm and as a last resort, forced it to be equipped on his empty right arm.

All I can say is that he was lucky. The arm was not assimilated seriously, and the arm showed the effect of quantum assimilation after assimilation. When the intelligent mechanical arm was installed, these effects helped him assimilate the intelligent mechanical arm.

Although this intelligent mechanical arm is grafted, it is very easy to use and adapt to.

And this arm is not an ordinary arm, but a modified weapon.

A portable weapon that shoots fire.

After equipping the new arm, AR-26709 began to explore the area.

It seems like a desert oasis here, a state of peaceful coexistence.

Birds are flying peacefully, cheetahs are drinking water calmly, and antelopes are wandering aimlessly.

Suddenly, several antelopes rushed towards their natural enemy, the cheetah, as if they were having an epileptic seizure.

The sharp horn pierced the cheetah's body, and blood stained the entire land.

After the cheetah was injured, the antelope took advantage of the situation and defeated it.

Started to eat each other's corpse...

As the smell of blood spread, more antelopes were attracted.

At the same time, more cheetahs were pierced through their bodies and fell down completely.

The blood also contaminated the river, and a shadow was moving where the blood seeped in.

As bubbles emerged, thousands of fish jumped continuously as if in boiling water.

They tore off parts of the cheetah's carcasses and even some antelopes that were gnawing on their prey, bringing the prey to the bottom of their territory.

Flying birds also took action, constantly swooping down to attack the jumping fish. Not only that, many antelopes were also pecked by birds.

In the end, it created a chaotic and bloody situation.

AR-26709 began to doubt whether everything here was real.
