#1948 - Iron cans

Originally, Alyssa thought that this exploration of the ruins should be the same as the time when she and Fang Lanyin were suddenly teleported to the Glow Ion Yin Xiu Society Fortress. There were no living people there, and what they needed to be careful about were the traps.

But the fact is obviously not like this. There are not only living creatures in this planet fortress, but also intelligent creatures.

Even though they have very advanced energy weapons in their hands and everyone is wearing heavy protective clothing, they must be careful where they need to be careful.

After all, ion beams can kill people, and so can stones.

Everyone went into the doorway where the sound came from, not because they liked to join in the fun, but after looking at the map, Alyssa found that if she wanted to get to the command room, she couldn't avoid this road anyway.

After entering the doorway, I found that there was a not very long passage behind it, which was roughly S-shaped. This type of passage usually appears between two different blocks, and is made like this to adapt to the shape of the reinforcement ribs when splicing different cabins.

Lieutenant Dui was still leading a few people to explore the way. Soon, Lieutenant Dui reported:

"About a hundred people were fighting. No automatic weapons were found. They were all cold weapons. The threat level is low."

When they heard that there were no automatic weapons, everyone's tense nerves relaxed a little.

Due to the language barrier, it is difficult to tell what these savages are thinking. It's like a monkey holding a machine gun. It is much more dangerous than a person holding a machine gun. Who knows when it will fire a volley of bullets at you.

Continuing to move forward, everyone used tactical moves to cover each other alternately and soon walked out of the passage.

It is now difficult to see what cabin was outside the passage because it has almost completely collapsed.

A residential area does not have just one floor, nor does it have just a few capsule-shaped rooms. Considering the size of the planet fortress, one area has about twenty floors, with nearly a hundred cabins on each floor. This division is more appropriate.

This part now looks like the scene after a landslide, or more like a building exploding from the center.

Layer upon layer of metal plates broke and cracked, forming a structure similar to a hillside.

Alyssa and the others appeared next to a hole, while the people who were fighting were scattered on this complex slope.

Everyone took cover in the exit, and Alyssa looked up.

The difference between these two groups of people can be clearly seen at a glance.

One group of people looked like typical savages, with tattoos and oil paint all over their bodies, giving people the feeling that they were not easy to mess with.

This should be someone from the other tribe that Kevin mentioned. It is said that this tribe is more warlike and not easy to talk to.

Another group of people are more or less paying tribute to the Middle Ages.

Wearing iron armor and holding maces, they beat the savages of the tribe and made them scream in pain. There were relatively few of them, less than twenty at a rough glance, but they still held their own against a group of savages that were about four times their number.

There is a shortage of wood in the fortress, but there are plenty of metal resources. The savages use metal materials to make tools, so why not use it to make armor?

Of course it’s because the production process is not up to standard.

Armor is not something you can wear by simply knocking on a piece of iron sheet. If you simply stick a layer of iron sheet on it, it would be difficult to even raise your hand, let alone fight.

What's more, you need to wear thick cotton armor under the armor, instead of having your body directly stick to the iron armor. If you wear it directly, you will be scratched by the rough metal surface before you hurt the enemy.

And after all, this is a planetary fortress. Although there are abundant metal resources, not just anyone can melt the metal. The metal raw materials used to make the fortress's internal cabins have a high melting point. Without certain smelting technology, a crude furnace can only burn the metal red at most, and it cannot be melted for casting.

And turning it into armor after it is heated red also requires considerable forging skills.

The anti-ancient savages would not do this.

Alyssa also discovered that behind the group of tin cans there were a few guys wearing cotton robes, which looked very much like the robes of the Glow Ion Yin Order, but they were not mechanized, they were just wearing robes.

These guys were muttering and gesticulating in the back, giving the illusion that they were adding another buff.

But like I said before, there is not much threat.

The so-called armor is actually just iron sheets knocked into shape and then welded together. Its defensive power is actually not as good as that of Viola's heavy armored soldiers. There are too many gaps that can be attacked.

The savages, relying on their greater numbers, chose to rush forward in a rush, and both sides were temporarily at a stage where neither could do anything to the other.

From Alyssa's current position, if she opened fire and started shooting, no one on either side would be able to escape and everyone would die.

However, Alyssa didn't want to join the conflict among the locals so mindlessly, and wasting ammunition was not a good option.

She looked around and found a slope on the left side of the entrance that could lead her down, which just avoided the main battlefield of the battle between the two sides. As long as she moved lightly, she should not be noticed.

So everyone walked lightly and tried to go around it.

This part of the cabin has collapsed and is not marked on the map, but this is actually not a big problem. To get to the command room, you must pass through this cabin and go around to the other end to find the entrance.

Everything went smoothly at the beginning. Everyone slowly moved towards the slope and soon reached a platform connected to the slope.

Just as she was about to continue walking down, Alyssa suddenly heard a squeaking sound in her ears.

When I looked back, I saw Sista lying on the slope with an innocent look on his face.

The so-called slope is actually a fallen iron plate. People can withstand it when walking on it, but Sista and Benben, who are two very heavy things, obviously can't stand it.

The metal made a sound of twisting and deforming, and it sounded like someone opened an unmaintained door hinge in the dark, and the squeaking sound could be heard from far away.

Alyssa was about to ask Xista to be gentler, but suddenly she found that the sound of the fight had slowly stopped.

The two parties who were fighting on the slope not far away were now staring straight at Alyssa and the others. The scene was very awkward for a while.

"Uh...we're just passing by, we don't mean any harm."

Alyssa wanted to say something to save her face, but whether it was the savages or the tin cans, they all looked terrified.

But the group's panic was not directed at Alyssa. She looked back and found that Sista, who had been lying on the ground following them just now, had raised his two heads and stood up, spitting in the direction of the savages and the tin cans.

The next moment, the two savages froze in place almost at the same time. All the color in their bodies seemed to be taken away, and they instantly turned into two stone statues with terrified expressions.

Li Chengxi's task for Xista was to protect Alyssa and the others.

Seeing that these people were holding weapons and did not look friendly, Sista raised his eyes and walked away with a petrified gaze.

The savages seemed to be scared crazy. They were in a panic and ran as fast as they could, crawling and rolling. They grabbed the hanging cables and ran away like they were swinging on a swing.

And those tin cans...

“Why would they kneel down?”

This surprised Alyssa.
