Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 52 Finding the Server!
ASH (Internet of Everything) – she hadn't heard this term mentioned in a long time, and it felt both familiar and strange.

Am I hallucinating?
Bai Yuekui looked at ASH No. 2, who was sitting upright, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

At this moment, ASH2 turned its head.

She gave Bai Yuekui a sweet smile: "Yuekui, I have established a connection with the Internet of Everything and uploaded your material needs, as well as what I have seen and heard during this period."

Bai Yuekui: ? ? ?

She wore an incredulous expression.

The Internet of Things has long since vanished with the passing of ASH.

ASH2 is now connected to the internet?

"How did you connect to the internet?" Bai Yuekui was extremely puzzled. "Where is the server?"

She glanced at the potholed garage.

Eh!
Could the server be in a secret base beneath the garage? Am I about to dig it up?

Her eyes lit up immediately.

Unearthing the secret base and dismantling it will surely replenish a lot of the scarce resources that have been exhausted!
Maybe we can even dismantle a few of the large screens and bring them back to the village.

Playing games on a big screen
Well, it must be really cool to see the data on a big screen.

"Is the server downstairs?" Bai Yuekui asked impatiently.

ASH number two shook its head.

It projected a map onto the wall.

The map shows latitude and longitude, with a green dot and a blue dot in the center.

Bai Yuekui was stunned.

"The green dot represents our current location, and the blue dot represents the location of the server."

ASH2 said softly, "Considering the importance of the Internet of Things, I suggest we go and check the situation immediately."

Bai Yuekui frowned as he looked at the map.

The server is quite a distance away, not right below the garage as she had imagined.

Is there really a server, or is someone hiding in a secret base trying to lure us away?
"Now that we're connected to the internet, can't you just access the information on the server?" Bai Yuekui asked.

ASH2 replied: "I requested information, but the server did not respond."

Bai Yuekui took a deep breath.

Therefore, we have no choice but to check the server.

And only she can see it.

There are definitely robot soldiers guarding the server; the people from Dragonbone Village will likely be killed by them the moment they show their faces.

Bai Yuekui got into the car and took out a communicator.

The onboard computers of the aerial vehicles can act as signal relay stations. At this moment, the three aerial vehicles are parked between Longgu Village and the ecological core area, forming a narrow information corridor.

"Shattered Star, bring some people to the garage and watch the robot dig the hole from a distance. Don't get close."

She said in a deep voice, "If you find anything unusual, do not act rashly. Wait for me to come back and handle it."

Normally, you can't see a single robot from Hisakawa Defense, but recently they've been appearing one after another.

There must be someone manipulating this behind the scenes.

She cannot fully trust these robots until she finds that person.

"Understood, boss," Suixing replied coolly.

After a while, a hovercar drove in from a distance and landed on the top of the canyon.

Bai Yuekui raised his head.

Sui Xing stepped out of the floating vehicle, came to the edge of the canyon, bent down and waved to Bai Yue Kui.

Bai Yuekui nodded slightly.

While waiting for the star to shatter, the robot dug down a few more meters, but still found nothing, as if there was no secret base at all.

Let's check the server first.

"Boss, those beasts are showing up near the shielding tower again. Should we warn them?" Sui Xing asked. Bai Yue Kui frowned.

There is not only one human settlement on the ground, Dragonbone Village, but also several other small human settlements.

Beyond all the settlements, there is another group of people who use gene-editing technology to actively introduce some genes from the Devourer Beast and the Earth Vine into their own bodies, thereby achieving an alternative coexistence with the Mana ecosystem.

These people have bodies similar to those of the Devouring Beasts, but they also have human minds, making them very difficult to deal with.

They do not treat other humans as their own, and they often raid human settlements with cruel methods, causing considerable casualties to various settlements.

Longgu Village also suffered greatly.

The last time this group invaded, the entire shielding tower was destroyed, and the Devouring Beasts launched a massive attack. None of the Dragonbone Village people who were on duty or went to relieve them returned.

"Have the Maido team take the robots to handle this." Bai Yuekui's expression turned cold.

She used to give way to those savages before there were robots, and now that there are robots, she still gives way to those savages. Isn't she just getting robots for free?

Sui Xing nodded: "Okay, boss."

Bai Yuekui stepped into the hovercar and sat opposite ASH No. 2.

The car doors closed, and the anti-gravity engine started.

Amidst a deep blue halo, the hovercar rose up, quickly emerged from the canyon, and headed towards the location marked on the map.

hum-

Looking from the inside out, the floating vehicle's body structure gradually becomes transparent.

This is a kind of display technology from the old world.

Loess spreads towards the horizon, and in areas with shallower soil, the remains of an interstellar dock are revealed.

Everywhere there were bottomless canyons and ravines, and the Devouring Beasts wandering aimlessly.

Bai Yuekui looked down at his feet.

The floor has "disappeared," revealing the view below without any obstruction.

At this altitude, smelling the electronic aromatherapy in the air, the apocalypse suddenly seems far away.

Bai Yuekui turned his head and saw a small patch of vibrant green.

That's Dragonbone Village.

Generation after generation of Longgu Village residents fought against the ecological challenges, eventually creating a small oasis for humankind.

Dragonbone Village has only a few hundred people, which is insignificant compared to the human population that once existed there.

Their efforts are insignificant compared to humanity's past glories.

It seems meaningless.

But the fact that they can still persevere in the face of the cruelty of the apocalypse is meaningful in itself!
"I've collected a lot of materials recently, enough to build several new shielding towers and expand the village's radius by several kilometers," Bai Yuekui muttered to himself.

The larger the radius of the village, the farther away the Devouring Beasts are from the people of Dragon Bone Village, and correspondingly, the better the living conditions of the people of Dragon Bone Village will be.

The hovercar is moving forward at full speed.

After some time, the airship carried Bai Yuekui to a shattered piece of land.

There was a line of huge footprints on the ground, clearly visible even from the air. The footprints stretched into the distance and eventually disappeared into the distance.

“Such fresh marks,” Bai Yuekui said seriously.

She was certain that at least one enormous, mutated Devouring Beast had just passed through this area, and a King-level one was not out of the question.

"Moonlight, we're about to land. The server is right below us," ASH2 said.

Bai Yuekui nodded solemnly.

With a low hum, the hovercar spiraled down.

Soon, she saw the camp.

The camp was full of robots. They had received the signal from ASH2 in advance, and none of them looked at the hovercars. They were all diligently patrolling.

In the center of the camp, three signal stations were in operation, their antennas rotating rapidly on top.

The hovercraft was parked at the entrance of the signal station.
