Chapter 101: Gains and threats

A few shots from a Bolter naturally didn't hurt the Interceptor, but they successfully enraged the Interceptor, which was preparing to return to its nest. To ensure the Interceptor was thoroughly provoked, Chen Jianbin also controlled the White Egret Drone to ascend and descend several times, teasing the Interceptor back and forth.

This method was very effective; the Interceptor's hatred was fully drawn. It immediately chased in the direction of the four White Egret Drones, and from time to time, picked up surrounding debris and threw it into the air.

Seeing that the Interceptor had taken the bait, Chen Jianbin stopped teasing it and began to slowly approach Feng Jun's location, maintaining a safe distance.

At the Bowu Manufacturing warehouse, Feng Jun had confirmed that all the surrounding zombies had turned into a puddle of viscous liquid, and these fumes showed no signs of dissipating, slowly spreading outwards. It seemed that the smoke created with Anti-corpse liquid was indeed very effective, and this operation required hardly any effort.

After using UAVs to confirm the surrounding area was safe, the Imperial Guards descended to the ground and, by closing the perimeter gate, isolated the warehouse from the outside world.

The warehouse's main door had a specific password lock that required identity verification to open, but this was no challenge for Feng Jun now. An Imperial Guard fiddled with the control panel for a few moments, and the warehouse door slowly opened. Warehouses of this caliber were equipped with independent power and control systems, capable of sustaining themselves for over a decade even without human or machine maintenance.

As the door opened, the lights inside also turned on, illuminating the entire interior of the warehouse. Neatly arranged goods and various mechanical equipment were neatly stacked, all covered by a layer of plastic film.

Just as the Imperial Guard at the front was about to enter and investigate, two currents of electricity shot out from inside the door. However, the Imperial Guard standing in front was wearing light Power Armor, and these two currents could not break through the Power Armor's defenses.

"Warning, unauthorized personnel. You are trespassing on the property of Bowu Manufacturing Company. Please immediately cease your illegal intrusion."

As the mechanical electronic voice sounded, two mechanical guards walked out from inside the door with heavy steps, each step emitting a heavy mechanical sound on the ground. Coupled with their height of over two meters, they looked very intimidating.

Li Lu sneered when she saw them. "Protector Guard Robots, 2.2 meters tall, one of the robotic products manufactured by Bowu Manufacturing. Made of ceramic armor and mechanical drive shafts, they were common guard robots before the Doomsday. This height and highly intimidating appearance are indeed quite impressive. I've seen them in many preserved warehouses and wealthy facilities. Solving them is also very simple; it only requires one EMP grenade."

The Imperial Guard standing in front did not return fire. The Protector robots were not equipped with any lethal weapon systems, only an anti-riot shield on their left arm and a taser capable of paralyzing humans on their right arm. An Imperial Guard took out an EMP grenade and threw it at the feet of the Protector robots. With a faint flash of electricity, these two robots were completely paralyzed, their circuits burned out.

Afterward, the Imperial Guards began sending UAVs into the warehouse to check for any active security facilities or robots.

Feng Jun observed the Protector robots from outside. They were 2.2 meters tall, with a sturdy mechanical body and a rectangular mechanical head. On the front of the face, there was a circular camera and several objects that appeared to be sensors, giving them a very intimidating appearance. During peacetime, they would have been perfectly fine for guarding homes or performing security tasks. After all, the society before the Doomsday always restricted the development of robots, and even the police were not allowed to extensively use robots for patrol or duty tasks.

Feng Jun tapped the Protector's shell with his hand, like tapping ceramic tiles on the ground. No wonder Li Lu looked down on this thing so much; even without an EMP grenade, a single Bolter shot would blow it to pieces.

Li Lu walked over and saw Feng Jun studying the Protector robot. "If you want to use this thing for battle, it's going to be very difficult. You'd probably have to redesign it from head to toe."

"Didn't you take in two younger sisters? Don't forget, they're doctors in robot manufacturing," Feng Jun said with a smile.

"Hmph ~" Li Lu pouted. "I'm not bad either, besides. I think you're just favoring the new. Now I even regret handing those two little ones over to you."

The warehouse stored various materials and mechanical equipment, with some boxes even stacked as high as the ceiling. Fortunately, warehouses in the Doomsday era were equipped with a terminal for managing cargo in and out. By finding this terminal, one could query all information within the entire warehouse.

Feng Jun's most important objective this time was to find equipment capable of building a quantum communication tower. If possible, he would also be very happy to take away a complete robot production line.

Soon, the Imperial Guard found the terminal inside the warehouse, and after checking it, they indeed found what Feng Jun wanted. Not only were there tens of thousands of optical crystal communication modules, but there were also three sets of semi-finished quantum communication towers. Furthermore, there was a complete robot production line here, all modularly manufactured, only needing to be assembled in a suitable location before production could begin.

After confirming the materials were correct, Feng Jun immediately sent a message to Song Peng and Song Zhan, asking them to dispatch all White Egret Drones to transport the materials. There were many large machines here that Feng Jun's spatial ring alone could not hold. These mechanical devices were not like grain that could be packed in sacks; they could only be transported by UAVs.

Fortunately, the White Egret Drone's load capacity was quite good; several White Egret Drones loaded together should be able to move tens of tons of machinery.

Within a few minutes of the signal being sent, the soldier standing guard on the warehouse roof reported the news to Feng Jun.

"Boss, four White Egret Drones are flying towards us."

Li Lu and Feng Jun immediately became alert. Only a dozen minutes had passed since the message was sent; even Song Zhan, who was the closest, couldn't arrive so quickly, and even if he did, there wouldn't be only four drones.

"Not good, it might be enemies," Li Lu said.

Feng Jun immediately ordered the Imperial Guard to re-lock the warehouse door. He went to the roof and observed the opposite side with binoculars.

What he saw through the binoculars were indeed White Egret Drones, but they didn't have Longmen Town's livery. They should be from the White Lotus Sect, as these drones were exchanged through them, and Huaicheng District didn't have such large, cargo-carrying UAVs. However, it couldn't be ruled out that the White Lotus Sect had traded with other forces.

And just behind these four UAVs, Feng Jun saw the enraged Interceptor, constantly picking up fragments of buildings from the ground and throwing them into the air. Those fragments flew through the air, attempting to shoot down the White Egret Drones. Meanwhile, the four UAVs in the air periodically fired at the Interceptor, luring it towards Feng Jun's location.
