Ark, I became a mobile city, but the moon city

【Texas Thumb Soldier Personality】

[Note: The thumb soldiers at the bottom are commonly known as cannon fodder among the thumb soldiers.]

"Congratulations! Looks like you've picked a good personality..."

Lin Yi turned his head and saw the personality card in Texas' hand, smiled and said.

"Do you recognize this?"

Texas raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Yi with his beautiful eyes and asked.

"I have a similar personality card. More or less every cleaner in the city will get a few."

Lin Yi spoke vaguely, then pointed at the personality card and said to Texas:

"With this, dealing with the scavengers will be much easier. Let's go hunting. You're probably hungry, so I'll take this opportunity to get some food and let you experience the power of the personality card."

"……it is good."

Texas hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he was succumbed to Lin Yi's words. He nodded, took the personality card, and went out with Lin Yi.

........................

"Come, I'll teach you. First, stick the card in front of your abdomen. Make sure you move quickly, accurately, and fiercely..."

"After taking the photo, just strike any pose you want, and the card will automatically recognize it. Got it? It's very simple..."

"Then, all you have to do is yell 'henshin!' and you'll merge directly with the personality card!"

Lin Yi walked on the land in the suburbs, chatting with Texas and laughing. Texas was silent.

What the hell is this...

"What good is this?"

Texas asked helplessly, interrupting Lin Yi's chatter. Lin Yi paused and smiled mysteriously.

"Hmm...it will give you some abilities you didn't originally have. Anyway, give it a try. Look, there's a group of scavengers over there, let's practice on them!"

"Hey! Wait!"

Looking at the scavenger in front of her, Texas' pupils shrank suddenly, but then she saw Lin Yi had already taken half a step back, and the scavenger in front of her had already spotted her and was running towards her...

For a moment, Texas gritted her teeth and was ready to run away, but the next moment, an idea arose in her mind.

Or... give it a try?

As this thought came to mind, everything got out of control.

She stopped, took a deep breath, then slapped the card against her abdomen and shouted:

"Henshin!"

Then, the next moment, Texas' body was distorted like a mirror... and behind the mirror, a long gun suddenly stretched out from the mirror, and then, a hand pressing the trigger appeared.

"Click."

The trigger clicked, and the impact bullet gushed out from the specially designed rifle, instantly rushing towards the leading scavenger. Then, Texas' body had transformed into the appearance on the personality card, wearing the gorgeous clothes with a cloak and stepping out from behind the mirror, holding the gun in both hands, with shock in his eyes.

The next moment, the impact warhead shattered the scavenger's head. Meanwhile, only one thought flashed through Texas' mind...

My lord, times have changed.

Isn't this thing much more powerful than some gun or sword?

Chapter 5: 5 Isn’t this thing better than Originium Technique?

A shot was fired, and the bullet pierced the first scavenger with impact. Texas did not hesitate at all and continued to aim.

This personality card...did change some things for Texas.

Although it was temporary, Texas could clearly feel that some of his personality traits had changed... He always felt like he had become the kind of person he hated to be in the past.

Texas felt the most obvious changes in his heart: the desire for power and obedience to his superiors.

In addition to this, there is a change in strength.

In fact, the current state of this personality is slightly lower than Texas' usual combat power.

However, this personality card did make up for Texas's long-range offensive capabilities. Against the Scavenger, long-range engagement was far more effective than close-range damage. Furthermore, this personality card seemed to have a special feature...

Texas felt that this personality card had a knack for killing monsters like the Scavenger. Whenever he raised his gun, a feeling would naturally arise, guiding Texas to attack the Scavenger's weakest spot, effectively killing it with a single shot.

It was an instinct that took who knows how long to develop. Unfortunately, Texas couldn't fully unleash his abilities, seemingly because he hadn't fully integrated with this personality card. He also didn't understand the true purpose behind this personality card.

But even so, this personality is valuable enough.

Guns that can be activated without the need for Originium techniques... this is simply unheard of on Terra.

Glancing at the barrel of the gun in his hand from the corner of his eye, the part of him that belonged to Texas was thinking.

Furthermore, this personality also significantly increased Texas's strength. Imagine being in the middle of a hand-to-hand fight, and suddenly pulling out a card and slapping it on your body, transforming into a ranged unit on the spot. Just the thought of it is bizarre.

An absolutely perfect trump card. However, in this city, it was given to me so easily...

Texas exhaled lightly and squeezed the trigger again, with only one thought in his mind.

The cleaner, Lin Yi, the well... No, I should say, who exactly is this city?

Suddenly, a certain awe rose in Texas' heart, and this awe even extended to the slightly erratic Lin Yi.

Although he is a little eccentric, he is still my predecessor to some extent.

This thought flashed through Texas' mind, and then he fired one shot after another, making sure that every scavenger did not need an extra second shot.

At this moment, Texas was almost going crazy with killing. This personality was good in every way, but when he killed too many people, he would inexplicably get a little crazy.

The scavenger group was rapidly decreasing. At this moment, Texas glanced at Lin Yi from the corner of his eye and suddenly saw that there was another scavenger beside the smiling Lin Yi...

"Wait! Little..."

Texas hadn't even finished shouting "Be careful!" when the next moment, the scavenger passed Lin Yi very naturally and walked towards Texas. Texas was slightly stunned by what he saw.

Won't the scavengers attack him?

That's right... He's been in this city longer than me, and if he can come up with all sorts of tricks, he must be more powerful than me...

Texas thought so in his heart, focusing on the gun in his hand, and quickly clearing out the last few scavengers.

Lin Yi, looking at the increasing number of scavenger corpses, couldn't help but smile.

I'm rich! So many dead scavengers!

How much madness can this bring?

Although there is no longer the huge bonus brought by the "first one", but if we rely solely on quantity, these scavengers may be able to exchange for quite a lot...

Lin Yi knew that the exchange rate for water wells was a curve. The more you exchanged for the same item, the less Madness you would receive. Therefore, he guessed that the thirty or so scavenger corpses before him would only provide him with two or three hundred Madness at most.

It turned out that letting Texas into the city was the most correct decision!

For a moment, Lin Yi's heart was filled with joy.

As for why the scavenger didn't attack him just now, the reason was actually quite simple. Essentially, it was because Lin Yi didn't really exist...

He was the will of the city, and the scavengers, as part of the city, would certainly not attack him directly. The only threat to him was the disappearance of human activity.

Just as he was daydreaming, the scavengers had basically finished cleaning up. Texas let out a sigh, looked at the last scavenger who had escaped, and slowly lowered the barrel of his gun.

This way, it's resolved...

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi's expression suddenly changed. He hurried forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Texas. Before Texas could ask all the questions in his mind, Lin Yi's face was serious and he grabbed Texas' hand.

Eh? Wait...what are you doing?!

For a moment, Texas' pupils trembled and he seemed a little stunned.

However, Lin Yi didn't care about these things at all. He just raised the barrel of the gun in Texas's hand, pointed it at the scavenger in front of him, and said:

"shot."

These words were as irresistible as an order.

"Ah...oh, okay."

Texas was stunned for a moment, then nodded. The next moment, a bullet was fired, killing the last scavenger.

Only then did Lin Yi finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Lin Yi...what happened?"

"It's nothing, but if you kill these monsters in the city from now on, remember not to leave any alive. If any manage to escape, you must chase them down within ten days, even to the ends of the earth."

Lin Yi shook his head and said in a serious voice.

"This is what I discovered earlier. After the battle, if these monsters escape, they will leave the city's territory and come to the land of Terra after ten days... The danger level will skyrocket."

In the past, Lin Yi had tried to defeat several monsters on his own to earn madness, but he accidentally discovered this matter.

He hadn't expected that his attempt at attack would be considered a fight, even though no harm was done. And the Scavenger went to Terra ten days later.

"……I see."

Texas was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently.

This incident made Texas a little surprised, but she quickly put her surprise away.

I guess there must be a reason for this... Since there is such a miraculous situation, it is understandable that there are some side effects.

However, for now, I'd better express my other questions...

After removing the personality cover, Texas looked at the personality card in his hand and asked doubtfully:

"So... what exactly is the thumb, the finisher?"

"Is there anyone left to finish off Thumb?"

Lin Yi turned around and glanced at Texas, but saw curiosity in her eyes.

Texas now regards Lin Yi as some kind of "wise man".

"Ha... Did you know that there once was civilization on this mobile city?"

Finally, Lin Yi pondered for a moment and spoke. Texas was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but then she calmly accepted it.

After all, in the land of Terra, you should be accustomed to seeing the remains of previous civilizations.

"I've been investigating here for a long time, and eventually, I learned some facts about the city's former civilization. The term 'cleaner' was once a profession that existed in the city. It's a bit like a mercenary, doing things for money... and some cleaners would form gangs."

"Among the gangs, there are five that are the most powerful, known as the Five Fingers. The Thumb is one of them, emphasizing extreme discipline... As you become more familiar with this personality, you should be more familiar with this kind of thing than I am."

Lin Yi waved his hand and said to Texas, who nodded seriously.

"Is there anything else?"

Then, Lin Yi turned around and looked at Texas. Texas pondered for a moment, but before he could say anything, his abdomen suddenly growled, causing Texas' face to turn slightly red.

It's a bit embarrassing, but I'm really hungry.

In reality, Texas had been feeling quite hungry for who knows how long. It was just that these new things that kept coming had temporarily distracted her. Now, when Lin Yi asked, her hunger naturally surfaced.

Seeing this, Lin Yi just smiled.

"Take these corpses back... There's not much to eat here, you might have to suffer for a while."

"By the way, when are you planning to leave the city?"

Then, Lin Yi looked at Texas and asked casually. Hearing this question, Texas hesitated for a while.

There is no doubt that at the moment, Texas cannot be left, and leaving the city is simply impossible.

If we leave the city now, the supply problem will not be solved...but in the city, supplies are not abundant, and it may take a while to fully replenish them.

What's more, this mysterious city has now stirred up the pool of curiosity in Texas' heart.

Magical and mysterious, this is the first impression this city gives to Texas.

What exactly is the well? What are these relics of a former civilization hiding in this city? What are these monsters that infest the suburbs?

Texas was curious.

So, she made a decision.

“I won’t be leaving anytime soon.”

She answered so succinctly.
