Chapter 47: Feeling Good

Fatty Lei looked around at the Artificial Humans still in their sleep state, then looked down at Wangcai. “What do I need to do?” Fatty Lei thought gloomily, “The Loyalty Level needs my Gene confirmation? That is just too troublesome.”

But then Fatty Lei reconsidered. After all, the Loyalty Level was related to his own life. Even if it was a little more trouble, it was necessary.

“You see, Master, there is a thin steel needle here. You just need to let the needle prick your skin a little and draw a tiny bit of your blood.” Wangcai pointed to the metal object hanging on the wall of the container and gestured to Fatty Lei.

Wangcai was very worried that Fatty Lei would get angry after hearing this. After all, it involved harming the Master’s extremely precious body.

So Wangcai felt very nervous inside. He was afraid Fatty Lei would blow up.

Unexpectedly, Fatty Lei did not react badly after hearing it. Instead, he calmly stretched out his right hand and waved it in front of Wangcai. “Help prick a little skin on my hand. After all, the Loyalty Level concerns my own safety.”

“Oh~ Master, you are so generous. I will start right away.” Wangcai looked very happy. He did not expect his Master to be so easygoing today.

Actually, Wangcai was really wrong about Fatty Lei. Fatty Lei was not a bad-tempered person.

In those earlier days, Fatty Lei’s mood was unstable because he had been pent up for two months. So he vented a bit on Wangcai, which was understandable.

Imagine, Fatty Lei suddenly became part of the time-traveling army, and traveled to this dangerous place. As soon as he arrived, he encountered an army of Bugs, and he was in an unfamiliar place.

For two whole months, Fatty Lei lived alone in this Military Outpost. The threat of high temperatures in the morning and the harsh sounds of storms at night kept Fatty Lei highly tense.

There were also the Xenomorphs and Bugs that appeared from time to time. All these made Fatty Lei feel panic in his heart.

Not to mention the loneliness and solitude, all of which Fatty Lei endured bitterly.

The fact that Fatty Lei didn’t go crazy shows his mental strength was remarkable. If it were someone else, who knows what would have happened.

You must understand, Fatty Lei was not from this World. Even in his original World, Fatty Lei was just an ordinary person, without any outstanding qualities.

Ordinary people like Fatty Lei were a dime a dozen on the street.

And Fatty Lei knew this himself. He did not think too highly of himself. Fatty Lei’s own self-assessment was accurate: an ordinary person, just an ordinary person who wanted to survive…

So Fatty Lei could make mistakes. He had normal emotions and desires. He also needed emotional release.

How could there be perfect people in the world? Fatty Lei was not a god.

Watching Wangcai pull out the thin steel needle from the metal and prick his finger, a trace of red blood quickly flowed through the transparent tube at the end of the needle into the metal container. Then it was divided into three hundred portions, and the blood containing Fatty Lei’s Gene data was injected into the still sleeping Artificial Humans.

“Master, we are starting now.”

Fatty Lei nodded. “Wake them up. With these Artificial Humans, I dare not hope for much, but at the very least I can sleep peacefully for a few days. I no longer have to worry about those Xenomorphs and Bugs.” At this moment, Fatty Lei felt he could finally relax a little.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

As soon as Fatty Lei finished speaking, Wangcai pressed the button to start the Artificial Humans’ awakening.

Hearing the sound, Fatty Lei looked around. He saw the tubes attached to the back of the Artificial Humans’ heads detach one after another. White steam-like mist emerged from the connection points…

“Master, let’s go out. We just need to wait a little while, and these Artificial Humans will fully awaken.” Wangcai walked to Fatty Lei’s side and whispered to him.

“Hmm~” Fatty Lei nodded slightly and, led by Wangcai, walked out of the metal container to the outside.

Fatty Lei stood with his hands behind his back and legs apart at the entrance of the metal container. Wangcai stood at Fatty Lei’s side, looking every bit the ‘henchman’. The two of them watched the situation inside the metal container.

After about two minutes, all the Artificial Humans opened their eyes. They jumped down from the shelves inside the metal container one after another, lined up neatly, and marched over to stand in front of Fatty Lei.

“Hss~~~~” Fatty Lei sucked in a cold breath. “These Artificial Humans are a bit fierce.”

The inside of the metal container was relatively dark, so Fatty Lei hadn’t paid much attention to these Artificial Humans.

But once they came out, it was different. Fatty Lei could fully feel the presence of these Artificial Humans.

Stern expressions, powerful builds, all two meters tall…

They were indeed made according to soldier standards, and this was just the Cannon Fodder standard. If they were second-class Artificial Humans, wouldn’t they be even more powerful?

Fatty Lei looked at these Artificial Humans, his mind wandering.

These Artificial Humans were not wearing clothes, so when they walked, things swung down below. To avoid further psychological impact, Fatty Lei slightly raised his gaze, ignoring the part that would catch his attention.

“Smack!”

After a unified stand at attention, the lead Artificial Human shouted loudly: “Report, Commander! Assembly complete! Awaiting orders!”

Uh!

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Fatty Lei raised his hand and waved.

“Comrades, you have worked hard!”

Silence…

A few drops of sweat appeared on Fatty Lei’s forehead…

These Artificial Humans were created to exist as Cannon Fodder, so when Rogue made them, he did not increase their intelligence. He just made them obey orders and charge forward desperately.

So it was normal that Fatty Lei got no response after speaking.

But Fatty Lei didn’t know about this.

“Commander, please assign the mission!”

After about three minutes, the lead Artificial Human shouted again.

“Such blocks of wood, truly Cannon Fodder soldiers.” Wangcai muttered quietly.

“Do you see anything wrong?” Hearing this, Fatty Lei glanced sideways and asked quietly.

“Master, isn’t it obvious? These guys are not very intelligent? They clearly only know how to follow orders. No wonder that guy Rogue said they could only be Cannon Fodder.” Wangcai whispered to Fatty Lei.

Fatty Lei deeply agreed. “Ten Credit Points, that’s about what you get. You get what you pay for. To get your money’s worth, you have to spend a lot.”

After saying this to Wangcai, Fatty Lei took a step forward. “Soldiers…”

Whoosh~~~~

As soon as Fatty Lei spoke, these Artificial Humans placed their hands behind their backs, spread their legs, raised their heads, puffed out their chests, and stood at attention in perfect unison.

“Quite orderly,” Fatty Lei thought.

“I am your Commander, Lei Yaotian,” Fatty Lei told the Artificial Humans his name.

“Commander, hello!”

The Artificial Human soldiers shouted in unison, making Fatty Lei extremely excited.

“What kind of treatment is this? I, Fatty Lei, can have a day like today too.”

Seeing Fatty Lei’s excited face flush red, Wangcai quietly reminded him: “Master, don’t get too excited, you haven’t finished speaking yet.”

“Oh~ oh~ right.” Reminded by Wangcai, Fatty Lei came to his senses.

He looked a bit embarrassed at Wangcai, coughed, and continued, “From now on, you will address me as Commander. My name is top secret; do not reveal it to others.”

For these rigid Artificial Humans, Fatty Lei wasn’t worried they would say his name.

After all, they had been injected with his Gene to enhance their loyalty, right?

“Yes, Commander!” came the equally unified reply.

Fatty Lei nodded with satisfaction. “Although these guys are a bit rigid, their presence is quite impressive,” Fatty Lei thought to himself.

“I am the highest-ranking Commander here, and this person beside me is the Deputy Officer, Comrade Wangcai.” Fatty Lei tilted his head toward Wangcai, who understandingly stepped forward.

“Deputy Officer, hello!”

Wangcai was so happy he almost blew a snot bubble.

“In the future, when I have orders or missions, I will have Deputy Officer Wangcai relay them to you. You must work hard, be diligent…” Fatty Lei rambled on for a long time before finally stopping.

In the past, he only watched others give speeches. Today, I, Fatty Lei, am fortunate enough to do this too. What luck!

Although he knew those in front of him were rigid Artificial Humans, it didn’t stop Fatty Lei from feeling a little proud of himself.

“Now, all of you listen to my command!” After Fatty Lei finished speaking, Wangcai stepped forward a few steps and shouted loudly to the Artificial Humans.

“Shua!”

The Artificial Humans stood at attention in unison, waiting for Wangcai’s orders.

“Follow me to get the uniforms.”

This was Wangcai’s first time being an officer too. He didn’t know how to command these Artificial Humans properly. So he just led the team toward the Supply Depot to distribute clothing and weapons to them.

…

Fierce!

Looking at the Artificial Humans wearing uniforms and carrying weapons, Fatty Lei sighed with admiration.

The three hundred Artificial Human soldiers were divided into five squads by Wangcai.

Four of the squads had fifty people each. They guarded the four high walls of the Military Outpost.

The remaining one hundred Artificial Humans were designated as the reserve team, serving as Fatty Lei’s guard detail.

When Fatty Lei needed to leave the Military Outpost, about half of the Artificial Humans would follow to protect him.

Of course, when Fatty Lei wasn’t going out, this hundred Artificial Humans would guard the ‘Farm’ outside.

Now, Fatty Lei’s ‘Farm’ had expanded its planting area to a full one acre.

(So big! One acre is big! Isn’t it big!)

Perhaps the Sweet Potato had mutated, since it needed a trellis to grow, just like grapes. This was something Fatty Lei had not expected at all. But Fatty Lei wasn’t surprised either. After all, it was a mutated Sweet Potato, so it couldn’t be judged by normal standards.

“Wangcai, how many Credit Points have we used in total?” Fatty Lei sat idly in the Watchtower, watching the Artificial Humans on duty carrying Laser Rifles, and asked Wangcai.

“Having subordinates is good. The mood is just different. Before, I only felt depressed and not relaxed. Now it’s much better,” Fatty Lei thought contentedly, picking up the metal container beside him and taking a sip of water.
