TROA) The Pit Part 2 (Patreon)

I never thought that in this heat, they would still be doing such a thing, but then again, that factory, if I remember correctly, had a basement level. The temperatures there were not as high. “Alright, Mom, I leave these two to you to settle in. I will head out and go see what I can do.”

“Ai, be careful. If they have means to make people travel in this heat, then they must have weapons or at least the means to protect themselves.” My mother’s worried expression made me smile. I nodded and patted Michelle on the head before turning around and leaving. This time, I teleported to the town near the base. It was there that I found a few spider bots digging through a car on the side of the road. I quickly dispatched them, but still did not level up.

I got a few drops, but they were nothing new. I sighed as I continued towards the factory. It was still a town away, so I decided to run. On the way there, I killed quite a few scavengers. They had already started replicating their own kind. I even got a half finished one, which I stored away for research purposes. Maybe my parents might be able to gain some insights from it.

I really want to get more people with different trade knowledge. The more I get the better our chances of coming up with new technology. I can only give so much. I know how to build some robots and A.I. but the rest is all working from scratch. My main trade I guess you could call it is dealing with phase energy. I learned as much as I was allowed to since it was something I felt that could keep me alive. It easily cut through robots. That was until later on when we started facing robots with shields. I am still unsure what type of shields they use but I do hope this time around, I can get a hold of one of these robots and pull the shield tech off them.

This way, I can recreate a larger one that can shield the entire base.  Whether or not they got weapons that can penetrate these shields is another story, but if I am about to alter the frequency even slightly to make them stronger then I will.

By the time I arrived at the entrance to the factory, I  finally leveled up to 4.

“I should really spend my points at some point….” I muttered as I walked towards the entrance of the factory. There was no one at the gate so I probably would not get stopped until I reached the factory entrance.

This place had long closed down way before the apocalypse. So, my guess is that this place had been running for a long time. Why no one noticed is beyond me but then again, if you have money you can do anything.

“Halt!” I raised an eyebrow as a man pointed a gun at me from the entrance of the factory. He was covered in many layers probably trying to keep himself from getting burnt to a crisp but what I do not get is the fact that he had so many layers on in such heat.

“You must be dying in that getup.” I couldn’t help but blurt out.  I was perfectly fine. I was nice and cool, but this guy.

The man ignored me as he let out a light chuckle. “Heh…. A little girl walks up to our doorstep. I do hope you know what you are getting yourself into. You only have two choices here. One is to sell your body, and the other is to fight.”

“Oh? How can I lay in bed if you have nothing to use?” I asked while tilting my head. I was doing my best to look very innocent.

“Hehe… Little girl, don’t worry, I have plenTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE..”

“Ahh… He collapsed.” I scratched my head as I put my foot down. “Sir, in this heat, if you fall asleep here, you will die. I mean, you are already baking in those clothes, right? Sir? Sir? He’s sleeping…. Well, my mother always did tell me not to interrupt people’s beauty sleep.”

I stepped on-over the man before making my way toward the stairwell, which was also guarded. These two men were actually dressed much lighter.  “You selling or fighting?” One of the men asked. His eyes did not look very good, so I…. “EEEE!!!!!!!”

“I am fighting?” I asked as I looked at the man on the ground holding his crotch.

“Why the fuck did you attack him!?” The man next to him yelled out.

“He asked if I was selling or fighting, so I answered?” I once again tilted my head to the side and answered innocently.

“Bitch….” The man snorted before opening the door. “The slave pits are on the right. Don’t worry. We do not touch anyone who chooses to fight.”

“Don’t worry, none of you could touch me even if you wanted to. You would lose your ability to be men if you did.” With these words, I gave the man a wink and a bright smile before walking through the door….
