A breath of fresh air!
Ryder and the pups exited the elevator as it rose. They were in one of the houses, leaving it, Ryder looked to see if there were any robots nearby.
He noticed how, from one hive, several Bee robots flew out. - Crap! "Bees", what are they doing? - Ryder asked, seeing how the Bees began to repair the robots.
They are repairing broken robots," Khraz explained.
Ryder noticed a "Bee" with a camera near the robots.
"For now you have to wait, there's a "Bee" with a camera, it's better not to catch her eye," said Ryder. "Sky, use the drones to clear the way," Ryder ordered. Yes sir! Woof, drones! - Skye shouted as two drones flew out of her backpack. They attacked the Bees with an electrical charge.
The team left the house, but Ryder noticed a camera nearby.
"Be careful, this is the surveillance camera "Romashka", if it notices you, robots will come running here," Khraz warned. "The camera can be turned off with an electronic pulse," said Rider, after which he destroyed the camera with electricity from his gloves.
They continued walking through the village until Ryder became curious:
- Hraz, what will happen if we end up in a cell?
- If the camera detects you, the 1st threat level will be announced, and the robots will come running here. When the camera sees that you attacked the robot, there will be a 2nd level of threat, and "Grif" will bring reinforcements - ob's neil Khraz.
Ryder realized that he needed to be careful, he began to destroy any cameras he saw.
They reached the road where the station leads, but the road further was closed by a gate.
-And how do we open the gate? - asked Ryder. Here, not far away, there is a tower with connections to the railway station - 7 "Volan" - a device for connecting to cameras, it will allow us to open the gate - said Khraz.
"Ryder, maybe this is the tower," Rocky said, pointing to the white tower. - Well done Rocky. Apparently this is where we need to go - said Ryder, they sent the tower up, and went up the lift, seeing the control over the Shuttlecock controls.
"No connection, access code required"
"Where are you in a hurry, grandson?" the voice of Baba Zina, a friend, rang out.
"Bab Zina, you're alive," asked Ryder, clearly happy and shocked that Baba Zina was alive.
- I didn't forget the old woman, well done. How did you like the Vavilov complex, their cutest bush? - Baba Zina asked sarcastically. - This cutest bush almost killed us! - said Ryder.
That's what I'll tell my grandson. You need bigger guns, then the muck will be easier to kill - said Bab Zina. "That's for sure, but now it's hard with cannons," said Ryder. - Well, come into my hut, I'll give you a weapon, we'll drink some tea, and I'll help you break into the Shuttlecock. There were drawings somewhere. - added Baba Zina
- Heh, to your hut? - asked Ryder. "Yeah, what kind of Baba Yaga is this, without a hut on chicken legs," said Baba Zina.
- Ha-ha, well, there you go. Where is your hut? - asked Ryder. - You see, the hill is on the right side of the tower. Go there, I'll come soon - said Baba Zina.
The team left the tower and went to this hill. When they arrived, they were attacked by that same huge robot, which, with a shock wave, threw Ryder into the elevator. The robot attacked Ryder, but unexpectedly, a flying hut flew over the robot, and its engines melted the robot.
The hut landed and a ladder appeared while the crew was shocked by it all.
- And here I am, grandson! - Baba Zina shouted. - Thank you, Baba Zina helped. Where are your guns - said Ryder.
Let's go into the hut and have some tea. - said Baba Zina. The team entered the hut and sat down on the sofa.
- Cool TV. What does it show? - Ryder asked while pouring himself some tea. - Cartoons, sit down and watch them. "Here's Sechenov showing you," Baba Zina said, turning on the TV.
On TV it shows how Sechenov communicates with Comrade Molotov.
- Your local scourge has become global. - said Molotov. "Comrade Molotov, the glitch has already been fixed, everything is under complete control," Sechenov explained.
Eliminated or not eliminated, this does not justify massive human casualties and robots in combat mode. - said Molotov.
- I understand completely...
You see, our "Atomic Heart" is under threat.
My. My project. The project I started before this damn war. The project that you all refused to accept. How many people died in the war, in the bloody meat grinder. I swore that such tragedies would never happen again... - said Sechenov, but Molotov interrupted him.
- I am very glad that human lives have some value for you - with Molotov’s sarcasm. “But this does not mean that we all have the noose of Western sanctions around our necks,” said Molotov.
- Comrade Molotov, for me, human lives are above all else. And the measures of the capitalist exploiters are coming to an end! Soon the working class in the West...
-Comrade Sechenov.
... shed the stigma of being an oppressor!
Comrade Molotov! I understand perfectly well the responsibility that lies on my shoulders! And the polymerization of the entire USSR, the launch of “Collective 2.0”, the launch of “Atomic Heart”! - said Sechenov.
Molotov violently struck the table with his hand.
- Yes, what kind of responsibility are you talking about, Comrade Sechenov! Do you understand that if in the USA they find out that robots can go into combat mode with a snap of their fingers! - Molotov shouted.
Ryder, having heard Molotov's last words, began to think.
“Then we can give up on your project,” said Molotov. - They won’t know anything, I repeat. The aftermath of the crash has already been eliminated! - Sechenov said until Molotov grinned.
- Comrade Sechenov. Perhaps some members of the Politburo will be able to take your word for it, as an honored figure and member of the President of the Academy of Sciences, but I’m afraid your word is not enough for me, said Molotov.
- What are you talking about? - asked Sechenov.
Molotov stood up and began to read the decree.
Baba Zina also sat down on the sofa, while the puppies and Ryder, holding the chicken in the form of a hut on chicken legs, listened attentively.
“The country’s highest leadership has instructed me to head a special commission that will assess the consequences of your failure,” Molotov read, placing the decree on the table.
We will be at your enterprise in just a few hours. Everything is clear to you, Comrade Sechnov! - Molotov shouted.
Sechenov fell silent for several minutes.
“Well, if the party considers this necessary, Comrade Molotov, then...”
- Are you following the government, Bab Zina? Where did you get this transmission from...
This is not a transfer. This is a direct connection to government lines. Don't think about it, that's my concern. It's time for you to get busy! - said Baba Zina getting up from the sofa.
Ryder and the puppies were shocked that Baba Zina was connecting to the government lines. This grandma never ceases to amaze them.
Take the hotel. In the corner. “You’ll probably figure it out on your own with the codes from Volan,” said Baba Zina. - Yes, grab the drawings. My repair cabinet knows what to do with it. Use it - it won't bite, not like your friend. - she added.
Yes, “girlfriend”... Thank you, there is no price for you.
Ryder walked to the table and took the code and drawings.
He went to the repair cabinet, making improvements to his gloves and weapons. Ryder clicked on the interface to the new weapon.
The repair cabinet shook a little, and soon he opened the doors, where there was a new weapon.
( Dominator)
Taking weapons, the team strove for the exit. But Ryder decided to talk to Baba Zina.
"You're pretty cool, Baba Zina."
"Thanks for noticing? You should consider yourself lucky to have me looking after you."
"Oh, why do you need to keep an eye on me."
“I want to understand whether you’re a coward or a normal one.”
"Rough"
“But they get there faster this way. And even more so, where you can see that a ten-year-old boy, puppies together, instead of playing and walking, you try to save everyone. This is not the job of a granddaughter for you,” said Baba Zina, showing concern for Ryder .
Ryder understood that Baba Zina was right. Ryder is just a ten year old boy, at his age you should go out, have fun, and play a game. But Ryder was not like that. Despite everything, he risked his life with the puppies for the sake of other people, even if these people were assholes. Ryder smiled at his grandmother.
- Everything is fine. I understand your concern, but this is not the first time for us. - said Ryder trying to console Baba Zin.
This is a first for military personnel and soldiers. But not like for a boy. I heard about your exploits, anyone would envy you. Mom would be proud of you. - said Bab Zina, the last words hurt Ryder, but he didn’t mean it.
"O-okay, we gotta go."
Well, go, go. Listen, have you seen two rings marked Enterprise 3826 at the complex? - asked Baba Zina.
Rings? No, I didn’t see it, I didn’t have time for that. - said Ryder.
Well, go ahead. VDNH is waiting for you. Wait, Michal Stockhausen is waiting for you at VDNKh, right? - asked Baba Zyna.
How do you know all this? - Ryder asked, shocked that Baba Zyna knew this information.
From the camel, tell him what if he didn’t run after other people’s women. Maybe everything ended differently for my friend - said Baba Zyna.
“Okay, we’d better go, otherwise I don’t understand anything at all what you’re talking about,” said Ryder.
The team left the hut and headed towards the tower.
