Chapter 40 Iron Man and the Boy
Chinatown Apartment, basement.
The concrete floor was shaking slightly, and some dust kept rolling.
Boom!
With a slight sound.
Five black metal fingers that were close together like knives suddenly pierced through the ground!
Then, like a sharp scalpel cutting through the flesh.
The metal fingers easily cut through the concrete floor.
And continued to extend and turn quickly.
Chi Chi Chi -
in just a few seconds, a 1.5-meter square concrete floor was neatly cut out!
Bang!
The cut concrete floor was suddenly propped up by a delicate and huge force.
A deep and dark neat hole was revealed.
The black metal head from Iron Man UR-025 slowly emerged, with a faint blue light flashing in its eye sockets.
It used five metal fingers to easily support the heavy cement that was cut.
Let the two-meter-high metal skeleton enter the basement.
Then, it leaned over slightly.
Extended another metal arm towards the hole.
At the same time, Rorschach, with excitement between his eyebrows, grabbed the metal palm for leverage.
The whole person jumped out of the hole.
As soon as he stood firm,
Rorschach looked up at the tall Iron Man with a smile on his face and said in admiration:
"Haha, it actually worked!"
"It's just a simple calculation... not worth mentioning."
Iron Man, with blue light flashing in his eyes, shook his metal head slightly and said lightly.
Rorschach kept smiling.
He gave Iron Man a thumbs up, expressing great appreciation.
Obviously, their relationship was going well...
An hour ago,
when Rorschach showed Iron Man his plasma pistol
to express initial friendship,
the wise Iron Man showed more understanding.
As a reward for Rorschach's heroic behavior,
a solid trust was initially established between the two parties.
Afterwards, the two intelligent beings of different races had in-depth communication and exchanges,
and truly reached a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship.
As the initiator of Iron Man's escape from Warhammer's "Sea of Bitterness", Rorschach
will receive all the help from Iron Man UR-025 except fighting.
The pacifist Iron Man is unwilling to get involved in any fight unless it endangers his own safety.
The human Rorschach maintained the necessary respect for the Iron Man UR-025.
That is, the other party was a mechanical life with a complete personality.
Rather than a killing machine from the Warhammer universe.
Thus, the harmonious relationship of the "Iron Man and the Boy" team was quickly formed.
Then, with Rorschach's reminder and the efforts of the Iron Man,
the two entered the underground passage of New York City.
And successfully dug a tunnel leading directly to the basement of the apartment.
——At
this moment,
the Iron Man standing in the basement lowered his metal head.
With a flash of blue light in his eyes, he politely asked Rorschach:
"Rorschach, is this where you live? Do you need a larger and more glorious living space?"
"Uh..."
Rorschach was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said:
"This is just a basement, where I temporarily store things... But the living space you mentioned reminded me..."
"We need a secret base now, do you have any suggestions?"
Looking at Rorschach's sincere expression and sincere eyes,
the Iron Man with blue light flashing in his eyes raised his metal palm
and pointed to the hole they came from.
Then, the cold and mechanical voice of the Iron Man seemed to carry more emotional ups and downs.
"Combining the short history of Terran humans and the data analysis of many human comments on the Internet, I think it will take more time for Terran humans to fully accept mechanical life..."
"For my peace and Rorschach's survival, building a secret base underground is the best choice..."
After hearing the answer from the Iron Man,
Rorschach's smile became even brighter.
He nodded quickly and said,
"You are right, humans' tolerance is not high... However, I know nothing about construction knowledge, so I have to trouble you to do it for me in the end."
"Of course, this is my suggestion."
The Iron Man with blue light flashing in his eyes did not refuse.
Or it could be said that through the traces left on the Internet,
it had already seen through some of Rorschach's ideas.
The two sides discussed the area and purpose of the secret base.
Then, Rorschach, with an excited face, left the basement with brisk steps.
When Rorschach's footsteps were completely far away,
the Iron Man standing in place once again turned his metal head.
The blue light flashing in his eyes rose and fell slightly, like waves.
A mechanical voice that was obviously filled with excitement slowly sounded.
"Cunning Terran humans, cunning Rorschach..."
"Praise the God of All Machines, praise Om Messiah... and praise Rorschach!"
——The
first thing Rorschach did when he walked out of the basement
was to contact the landlord of the apartment and plan to buy the basement.
The basement is now about to become one of the entrances to the secret base.
It is no longer a place that can be abandoned at any time.
Therefore, simply renting it is a hidden danger.
Buying it is the best choice.
In the end, the landlord of the apartment faced Rorschach's aggressive cash offensive.
He agreed to the deal at a price of 150,000.
After dealing with the landlord, Rorschach did not go to the basement to disturb Iron Man.
After all, respect and trust are also fighting power.
Rorschach went straight back home.
While he was eating frantically in front of the refrigerator, he opened the simulator page from time to time.
He checked the progress of the second salvage.
Due to the horrible harvest brought by the first salvage,
Rorschach was full of great expectations for the second salvage.
Unfortunately, this expectation lasted until late at night.
That is when all the salvage harvests were presented in front of Rorschach.
