Simultaneously, as this was taking pce, Gramps passed out almost immediately on one of the other couches a ways away from us, leaving Alid me to cuddle up together and talk. After chatting about this and that for some time, I decided to see how she was doing regarding what she witoday.

  "Alice, how're you doing regarding what you saw today? I know it was a lot, so I want to see how you're holding up."

  "I'm fi got easier and easier to watd experience as it went on, so I believe when my time es, when I'll have to do something simir, I'll be more than ready for it."

  "Hmm, in that case, why don't you join gramps and I after we've gotten rid of the moleman king? I pretty muow what to expect from the molemen at this point going off of this trip, so I basically assure your safety when we're in there."

  "You really mean it?" She inquired excitedly, with a glimmer in her eyes.

  "Yup, we'll jus-." Before I could finish my sentence, Alice excitedly jumped on me.

  …

  After dealing with Alice's excited state, I tinued from where I hadn't finished. "As I was saying, we're just going to o make you a heavy trooper suit, and you'll be ready."

  "So, when are we going to make the armor?"

  "When we've dealt with the moleman king so probably in the several days."

  After our versatioalked for a bit lot up, and proceeded to the manufacturing area to get some work done. Whilst Alice was doiudying on her personal ptop, I was busy assembling more turrets to add to the ever-increasing defenses I had set up in the miunnel. A few hours flew on by when it was time to things up and head home for the day.

  I aplished a substantial amount today. I ventured into the mine and cave system, elimihousands of molemen alongside the old man and my robots. On top of all that, I assembled 10 more ZBR-2 Laser Turrets i few whilst the robots were w feeding materials to the various automated manufacturing maes and handling their many tasks in the produ area to keep everything moving at a smooth pace.

  Finished and ready to head home, I wandered over to Alice, who wasn't that far off from where I was doing my work, and said. "Hey, Alice, I'm going to have the Multibots install the st turret and then we'll wake up, gramps, and go home."

  "Okay, I'll my studying and follow along."

  Calling several of my Multibots with the unique ability I gained retly, I had them take the turret I threw together moments ago and go install it with the other nine I had them install earlier, and in only 15 mihey had pleted the job I had given them. With everything hahat o be, I and my partner in crime made our way to the pnning/rexing area and woke up the sleeping bear, gramps, so he could take us home.

  "What do you two rascals want?" Gramps grumbled out still half asleep.

  "It's time to go home, gramps, it's the end of the day."

  "It's been that long already, has it? Alright, let's pile into my trud head home."

  Piling into his truck, he dropped Alid me at my home and took off when we waved him goodbye and had gone inside. Entering through the front door, we saw my mom was busy whipping up dinner i, thus Alid I walked in there and greeted her before joining her in preparing the meal. Following the rge dinner we both assisted in making, we turned in for the night with the rest of the family.

  …

  The day, after going through all the usual stuff that happens in the m, we were back at the Genesis Foundry.

  "Here's the pn for today. Gramps and I are going into the cave system to tinue clearing out the molemen and if we e across the Moleman King, cool, if not, we'll keep looking until we do or it's time to things up and head on back." I said, getting a simple nod of the head from gramps.

  "As for you, Alice, you'll tig from here and studying."

  "Okay." She replied simply.

  Getting up from the cou the pnning ssh rexation area, Alice pulled me aside whilst sending my gramps ahead to pnt a kiss on my lips.

  "Quite aggressive today aren't we." I ented, smirking.

  "Hehehe, only doing what a good wife is supposed to do." She replied sweetly in her usual soothing voice.

  We shared a few words with each other before I detached from her and said my goodbyes. "Well, I'm off. I'll catch you ter, babe."

  "See ya darling, and good luck finding the Moleman King."

  As Alice was waving goodbye to me, I waved back as I departed. Leaving the pnning aion area behind, I sped off to the armory to get kitted. Directly after reag the armory, I made my way inside, meeting back up with gramps who had most of his gear on already. Not looking to have him waiting for me, I quickly reached where my own gear was located and began throwing it all on.

  Getting my armor on as well as the rest of wearable gear, I grabbed the three ons I was usierday, yet as I was slinging the FBLAR-1 Laser Assault Rifles onto my back, a thought occurred to me.

  I ran out of ammo for my NPDM the previous day. Maybe I should s to something else… I would take the 5.56mm minigun, but the 1,000 round backpack mag is just too small for my liking. With its current capacity, I would only be able to fire the on tinuously for 15 seds before emptying the magazine in its ey. Hehat on is out at least until I make rger capacity magazines for it.

  Holy, I'm gono resolve this issue sooner or ter since I 't be running out of ammo for my primary on and beio akimbo two FBLAR-1 Laser Assault Rifles as cool as that is. To resolve this dilemma of mine, I go about this a few different ways, one I just make a signifitly rger backpack magazine, or two I take the gatling ser design I have on hand that's currently implemented in the Crusader robot design and modify it to fusion breeder power, or three I make a whole neon that specifically fulfills my needs and wants.

  Hmm, or I could do all three, going down that route will give me more versatility and give my growing arsenal more sele that everyone part of my group including myself to choose from… Yep, I'ma go that route and it's not like it would take me all that long to do all three so why the hell not.

  Pns to expand my armory's sele even further, I pulled a bunch more NPDM drum magazines and pced them on my war belt, nearly doubling my ammo capacity as pared to the previous day. Taking my NPDM into my hands , I put the sling over my head aed the light mae gun on my front before walking for the armory's exit the very sed.

  Meeting back up with gramps who had finished gearing up before me, the two of us set off for the miunrance. We quickly arrived at the huge armored doors I had blog the entrao the miunnel faster thaerday since we were pretty gung ho about getting in there eliminating the moleman king.

  Joining my robots that were already there armed to the teeth and ready to go on another moleman killing spree, we quickly left the facility behind us aered the incredibly dark cave system again, that arsely lit up by lumi pnts iain areas.

  Deg to backtrack through the same route we took the day before to the main chamber, we entered molemen once again on route, although drastically fewer pared to the previous day. Quickly taking out whatever we came across, roup made record time and reached the passage to the main chamber again. tinuing forward, we met the heaviest amount of resistan the tunnel we had experiehus far throughout this entire molemeermination mission.

  Over the several minutes, we killed and sughtered a whole shitload of molemen while we tanked dozens of rounds from them that did absolutely nothing to us when their bullets met our armor. Dispatg the st of them, we pushed onward into the main chamber and came face to face with the chamber filled again with plenty of molemen, so with the target riviro we had for ourselves we pointed uns in the dire of the crowds vermin and opened fire repeating the massacre we itted the prior day.

  I don't know how long it took, but we had refilled the chamber with well over a thousand molemen corpses. Thus, with nothing else left to shoot here, we stepped over the many bodies strewn about as best we could, blood spshing about at nearly every step we took.

  Thank god I got my helmet on and it's fully enclosed. The stench has got to be something else, with these bodies leaking all sorts of fluids and that's not even sidering the mass amounts of burnt flesh our ser fire caused.

  Crossing the corpse covered cave floor, we tinued our journey on a path that led deeper into the cave system. The reason we were going this way instead of taking one of the many other passages was because this route led to a paratively smaller chamber deep within the cave system that I believe has a pretty high ce of being the moleman king's ir.

  I have nothing to go off of to say if it will evehere other than my intuition but it is the deepest chamber so might as well go check there first to see if he's taken up residen what could be sidered the safest p this entire system.

  Right off the rip, we immediately began having to fight rge numbers of armed molemen, leading credeo the idea that we were going down the right path. Traversing the expansive cave system, we fought tooth and nail with the many molemen that inhabited this part of the cave work aered into melee bat with the molerat folk more than a dozen times.

  With all the melee bat I've been doing, I'm going to o expand my firearm upgrade to include melee ons, too. My gramps old bat knife just ain't cutting it with this many enemies.

  Another on added to my growing arsenal upgrade, I ripped my gramp's old bat knife from the now deceased moleman's flesh whom I had just killed moments prior. Before the blood could start spraying from the dead moleman's ned dirty my armor any further than it already was, I kicked the body back, sending it flying into the group of molemen we were currently fighting it out with. The dead mutant's body struck three of its kind and took them down to the passage's floor, and ohey were down, I raised my NPDM and fired off a three-round burst, one bullet for each of three lucky molemen.

  Those four molemen eliminated, I raised my on and tio sughter and dispate hostile after the over the hours, with my prospe sing all about for resources. After said hours, we finally began closing in on our destination and as we got closer and closer to it, we entered even heavier resistance, as if that was even possible. P lead and ser fire down the passage, our rounds and beams impacted the many molemen that were charging towards us, ripping through and burning sizable holes in their bodies.

  Whe of them dropped dead and colpsed onto the cave tunnel's floor, I looked at gramps and said. "That appears to be the st. Let's go see if that moleman king is truly down here."

  "Lead the way then, kid." The old man responded in his usual rough and mase sounding voice.

  Leading the way forward with gramps following right on my fnk, ready to take out whatever we e across along with my small robot army, we climbed over the bodies and moved the ones blog our path out of the way and closed in orance.

  Reag the entrance, we forewent stealth and pushed inside sihere was no reason to stealthily peek io see what the situation was when we had more than already announced our preseo whoever and whatever was ih all the killing we were doing.
