Taking position at the front again, I began proceeding dowunnel and only two minutes i resistance. Raising my on alongside gramps and my robots, we sent a storm of bullets and ser fire through the passage, easily sughtering the armed molemeumbled upon on the way.

  Stepping over their corpses that were filled with leaking bloody holes that were left courtesy of gramps and I and burning ohat were caused by my robots, we progressed along the passage ing aore and more armed molemen reinforts the closer we got to the main chamber.

  roup killed our way through what must've been a minimum of 1,000 armed molemen. We fired so many rounds that it had even gotten to the point that we o retreat to let our ons cool down before we could tichering them and making further progress. After fighting for a little over an hour, we started encroag on the main chamber's entrance.

  Sughtering our way in the massive chamber we've been making our way towards these st several hours came into view. Sing the area as we were killing our way in I saw what must've been cave ceiling of fifty feet i and ahat covered tens of thousands of square feet that was all covered in lumi pnts providing light to the many, many thousands of human mole rat hybrids that currently inhabited the space.

  "We've found the gramps, let's kill them all." I said, letting go of my NPDM.

  "Leave none of them alive, kid." Gramps responded with a bloodthirsty grin from behind his armored helmet.

  As my on came to rest against my abdomen, I opehe pouch I had magically attached to my war belt and started taking the many T-4 Psma Grenades I had within aing them to explode on tad chug them into the crowds of molemen. The instant the first one made tact, it blew up, releasing super heated psma and annihiting 50 of them right out of the gate.

  With the first going off, the many more I had sent flying across the massive space soon touched dowing swaths of them from existend leaving the chamber's floor scorched. Gramps, seeing what I was doing, followed suit, being a human pitg mae like myself whilst my robots covered the p a ser light show.

  When I had depleted my psma greock, I sed back over to my NPDM, pg the red dot's reticle on a nearby moleman's head and pulled the trigger, blowing its head apart with the 7.62 bullet I just fired. As that target's body began falling over, I kept applying pressure to the trigger and rapidly transitioned from one moleman to another, dispatg them with insane speed and ruthless efficy.

  We kept up the fire, sending hate at anything and everything that moved while tanking rounds from the hostile molemen. Ultimately, we killed and killed until there was but only one singur moleman remaining alive in the chamber. Walking up to the st remaining moleman, I saw the creature was broken and trembling in fear, not putting up even an ounce of resistance.

  Not wanting this to go on any lohan it o, I took my FBLAR-1 Laser Assault Rifle that I had sed to since my NPDM o cool. Aiming my ser assault rifle at its head, I pulled the trigger, sending a burst of ser fire through its dome, ending the killing there for the moment. At the end of it all, we had id waste to the molemen, leaving the expansive chamber covered with streams of blood and piles of burnt and broken bodies.

  "Damn, that was a hard fought battle. I even had to resort to my bat knife more than a few times there. Do you have any injuries, gramps?"

  "Nothing serious, just some bruising." Gramps answered in his deep and rough voice, though it was missing the energy it usually had.

  "Mm, what do you want to do now, old man? There are obviously more of them throughout this entire cave system that o be exterminated, however ear is getting more worn down than I'm okay with and both you and I have run pletely dry on 7.62 ammunition. You also sound pretty tired, so why don't we call it here for today and pick things back up tomorrow?"

  "Sounds good to me. I could use a nap."

  Nodding my head, we looked around the pd gathered whatever loot we could bring with us without interfering with our bat ability and started the long jouro the foundry while keeping a for any more molemen we may meet on the way back.

  The return journey was retively light on the molemen numbers, so it only took us slightly less than two hours to arrive back to the Genesis Foundry. If we hadn't entered any molemen on our way, we could've cut that time even further, but I 't pin about being able to farm some more exp, equipment, and skill.

  Whilst ing up on the facility's entrance, gramps said. "Dom, you did good today. Keep it up and you'll have no problem aplishing what you want to."

  "Thanks, gramps."

  Just as roup closed in on the rge armored doors of the facility, we heard rumbling, so we turned around to see what . What we saw as we turned around was a rge swarm of molemen rapidly approag us.

  "Gramps, it seems like we still have work to do."

  "It would appear that way, kid. Let's mow 'em down quickly a some rest."

  How do I want to hahis, I could trigger all the microfusion cell mines I have id throughout the tunnel and kill most of them in an instant. However, I'd rather not colpse the miunnel and have to waste a ton of time clearing rubble aifying the tunnel.

  If I fight it out normally with the two ser assault rifles I have with me, I'll more likely have to ehem in melee bat, which is something I'd rather avoid si will just drag things out... I'll just tact Alid have her bring me a on that thin their number by quite a bit without bringing the tunnel down.

  "Alice, you there?"

  "Of course."

  " you go to the locked room o the miran the facility and grab the 5.56mm minigun I have ready and loaded there, I'm going to ."

  "I'm on it."

  While Alice was going to retrieve that for me, gramps, I, the robots, and the many turrets that were positioned all around the dan firing at the ing horde, cutting them down and turning them into sieves one by one. As that was taking pce, I used my sed thought process to open a rge enough gap iween the massive armored door to allow the retrieval of my ining minigun.

  The fight kept going on for a number of minutes, with us keeping the waves of them at bay when Alieared the opening with a metal cart she had the on pced on. Thus, with my minigun arriving, I left the old man, my bots and the turrets to hahings whilst I retrieved my on upgrade.

  Speedily running through the gap, I went over to Alice, who was standing behind the right side of the armored door, and said. "Thanks Alice."

  "No problem, that's what I'm here for." She responded, happy to be of help.

  Ditg my NPDM because it had no ammo, I pced the backpack magazine on my bad grasped the front handle of the minigun. Lifting the heavy on off the cart, I started running back with the on in hand, leaving Alice behind in the safety of the facility.

  But before I passed through the gap in the door, I said to her. "I'll catch you in a bit, babe."

  "Alright, I'll see you soon then, darling. Stay safe."

  Closing and resealing the door behih meical domination, I sprio the very front while holding down one of the twers to get the minigun's barrels spooling. Bsting past my many turrets that were firing 1,600 ser pulses a minute and gramps and the robots that were all unleashing hell with their ser ons, I made it to the front.

  With nothing I didn't want to shoot in my line of sight, I took a stahat would best allow me to hahe recoil of the minigun. Straining and log my muscles to keep the on from flying all over the pce, I lifted and aimed the minigun at the tinuously swarming molemen, ahe trigger down.

  *Brrrrrrrrr…*

  The stream of bullets I sent out of the six rotating barrels of the oowards the ining molemen and the very moment the storm of rounds arrived at the first victim, they peed and ripped right through it, passing as easily as a hot khrough butter. tinuing to hold dowrigger and maintaining trol of the recoil that very much wao get out of my trol, I directed the 5.56mm rounds from their abdomens' to their heads now that I had a handle on the recoil.

  Once I started direg and trating my fire there, the molemen began dropping like flies oer another, with many of the rounds taking out two if not three molemen at a time. Tanking and easily shrugging off the rounds ing from the molemen, I kept up the fire for the 15 seds when I expended all the ammunition held within the minigun's backpack magazine.

  Running dry on the minigun, I dumped it auro using the two FBLAR-1 Laser Assault Rifles I brought with me inally. Dual wielding the two of them, I aimed the two ser assault rifles at the remaining moles that weren't decimated yet, like most of their group was at this time, and squeezed both triggers.

  *Bzzzzzt-Bzzzzt-Bzzzzzt*

  Spewing 1,600 ser pulses a minute now, the gang and I kept ying the fire upon them and began pushing forward. As we kept increasing our collective kill ts, they started to retreat, back pedaling into the cave system. tinuing the push, we walked them all the way out of the miunnel and tio sughter them until we couldn't see them any longer from where the miunnel and cave system met.

  "You think that's it for now or what, gramps?"

  "It could be, but since a group of them came swarming after us, it pretty much guarahat they have a moleman king or something amongst them calling the shots. So we're going to o kill him before the waves stop ing or kill so many of them that the king 't gather enough of them to send another wave."

  "Hmm, that sounds abht. I suppose I'm going to o work on beefing up the defense more to kill off any molemen swarms that might e when we're away."

  "That would be the best thing to do until we e baorrow to tinue where we left off."

  Heading back the way we came, we had to step on literally hundreds of bodies since we killed so many of them iunnel. After doing so for the several minutes, we made it to the armored doors for the sed time today and hopefully the st. Wanting to remove my armor a a bit of rest before I got to work on bolstering the defenses, I quickly opehe heavy armored doors of the foundry. As soon as everyone picked the loot that they dropped to fight the molemen horde, we headed on through the now open doors.

  Once everyone was through, I closed them again via the same method as when I opehem, sealing them shut and making a beeline for the armory along with everyone, including Alice, who had now rejoined us from the pnning/lounging area.

  Returning to the armory we stripped our kit and stored whatever ons and ammo we had looted from this trip, my Multibots and prospe being the exception since I was going to have them carry at least one on from now in the event that anything ever happens. My robot workforow armed with much better ons than their inbuilt ones, we departed from the armory ao the pnning/lounging area to take a mueeded breather.

  Before I could even take a seat, Alice came to my front and locked her arms around me, hugging me.

  ing my own arms around her and hugging her back, I asked. "You good, Alice?"

  "Nnn, I'm just happy you returo me in one piece."

  "I told you everything would be fine, didn't I?"

  "That you did." She responded sweetly, letting go of me for a sed aing us take a seat on the couch before tg onto me once again the millised she took her positioo me on my right side.
