Jack POV
After my 'fight' with bandits, I think they were, I moved back to the police station. When I came back Artemis was soundly sleeping... not.
Artemis: “Where have you been?”
Jack: “OK... that's strange. She acts like my mother or sister. Annoying. Wish there were some- Ouch! What the hell?” That moron... she threw shoe at me! Wait... where did she get one?
Artemis: “YOU! I HA-”
Jack: “Tsss... not so loud. They can hear you. I just managed to distract the horde you moron.”
Artemis: “Yeah, I remember, but there were no-”
Jack: “Another zombie horde was shambling around, so I made another distraction, you clearly heard some explosions and gunfire, no?”
Artemis: “Yes... wait you mean-”
Jack: “Yep. Anyway I got some food so we can eat properly. Say do you like grilled meat?”
Artemis: “Um... yeah. You got meat?”
Jack: “Yep. Freezers in the mall were working, so meat is not spoiled. Oh and I got some rice, vegetables and drinks. And before you ask, yes I got spices and salt.”
Artemis: “You can cook?”
Jack: “Nope.”
Artemis: “So you want me to cook?”
Jack: “Nope.”
Artemis: “You'll cook?”
Jack: “I am a fast learner. Anyway it's not like you can-” she's overly aggressive today. This time it was a lamp that was thrown at me. “Hey you can't cook anyway, so why-” and now it's chair. Seriously?
Artemis: “I CAN cook you moron.” really now? Where was that cute girl who was afraid of me?
Jack: “OK. You're on cooking duty.” and now... yep. Table. She's fucking crazy. “Oh come on!” seriously?
Artemis: “Next time you should ask me about something!” If she's tsundere I will probably die. Not like I care about it.
Jack: “Got it.” I hope to find some interesting stuff. Anyway I got a few new skills and will be trying to get new ones, well getting new ones.
Artemis: “Oh and did you get some-”
Jack: “Yep. Portable stove, frying pan, pot, waffle iron, and few dozen kilos of all sort of stuff. Can't get more though.” I got a few tons of everything!
Artemis: “Fine. Get it ready. Do you have coffee?”
Jack: “Yep. Will also get it ready. When will you-”
Artemis: “After my morning routine.” she's annoying! Anyway this will be a long day...
----------------------------------------
After we finished our breakfast, and she got some sleep, why I tried to launch some games on a laptop I... found... yep, found. You know problem with the future? The morons started producing some really idiotic games. The one I play now is some mix between Dark Souls, Doom and some sort of porn. No really, dude running around butt naked swinging around his 'sword' and fucking sexy demons, zombies and other shit. The other game I got was some sort of Virtual Girlfriend, goal was to... well you understand, right? Third one was about some giant robots and monsters, well probably it would be OK, if not for the said robot and monsters, it was really similar to the first one. Where the hell is Doom, Heretic, Quake, GTA... wait I think I found GTA X, but it's more like GTA XXX than anything. Who made this world? I also took Doom 2039, but... well... now it was some puzzle... with sex. Geh! Cool game with a lot of gore, made into some hentai. I don't mind hentai, but I want to play something... after the base raid I will leave this place.
----------------------------------------
And now it's midday... after a bit of talking me and Artemis were now traveling to the military base. Don't really care about it, but I wish for the guns and other military stuff. Surely they must have some sort of power armor. If they have robots it's cool too, but if those robots would be like sex dolls... I will nuke this world.
----------------------------------------
Finally after some walking we found the working vehicle. It's SUV and in more or less working order, with half tank of fuel. So after a few checks and gaining a Mechanics skill I got it working, only to find the keys in the glove box. WHO STORES KEYS IN GLOVE BOX?!
Anyway now it'll be a lot easier to get in the military base.
----------------------------------------
After half a day of driving we are finally there. And let me tell you this. This base is... small.
Jack: “I give up. Military bases should be large enough to store few thousands at least, here at most would be around hundred soldiers. What's wrong with people?”
And with such words I started looking around the 'base'. Morons all of them.
----------------------------------------
After I searched the base I found a working computer.
Choose option
Logs.
Base control
Let's read some logs. The most recent one is dated few months prior.
Attention to all personnel of base 6. Communists are using some sort of drugs on civilians, making them overly aggressive and stronger. Do not let them enter underground facility. Code to underground facility remains the same 123456780.
Seriously? Who... nevermind. I already accepted the idiocy of this world.
Base control
Open path to secret facility
Order Pizza
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Yep. They are crazy. The more I am in this world, the more I want to get out of here.
Artemis: “Found something?”
Jack: “Yep. Underground facility. Now opening.”
As I said that I clicked on first option and entered password 123456780, after which screens turned on indicating the path to secret underground facility. I mean literaly.
Follow the light indicators to the entrance of secret facility. If you're commy then wait here, your potted meat will be delivered along with the waiting line.
Seriously?
Anyway let's get to the base, shall we?
----------------------------------------
Let's say that area 51 was real. Aliens, robots, faked expedition. Hell even those reptilian masters were true, well partly at least. Reptile mutations for increased health regeneration, defense, and some other stuff. Also there were other mutation types like slime, plants, fish, cephs, insects, etc. There was also project Prime, but not much info on that one, except 'Strongest Human' and 'No weakness', good stuff if you combine it with Medical mutation.
Anyway about weapons... It's a gold mine. There is even some sort of UFO, railguns, BFG... dunno why though. Energy and projectile weaponry, and a mecha. I took a lot of stuff, except that UFO, mecha, and vehicles. I got a lot of that stuff inside my storage, besides it's already bound and will be restored if destroyed. Also my stuff is much more stronger than this shit. No offense, but why would you take some downgraded stuff if your own stuff, besides being somewhat indestructible, is much more effective. Especially my version of UFO.
Artemis: “Hey John, what are you doing?”
Jack: “I found something that you will probably won't like, but it will help you in the long run.”
Artemis: “What?”
Jack: “Found quite interesting mutation serums, would be quite good for you, with minimal damage to genetics.” I think.
Artemis: “Wait wha-”
Jack: “Sorry Artemis, it will be slightly painful.” I used psi paralysis on her and injected both serums. Should work. “There is some info on items here, and the serums, it was quite interesting here. Oh and here.” I left an enchanted coin. “If you manage to create a rift, toss a coin there. I will then answer to your questions. Goodbye Carla Johnson.” Yep, I knew who she was all this time. It was rather fun trolling her.
Artemis: “Who are you?”
Jack: “If you want to know then you should toss this coin in the rift. There are information on the Rift generators here. If you want to know, then it's something akin to transdimensional wormhole, which allows traveling between dimensions, one of the reasons to current world state. Rest of the information will be provided after the task I gave you. Oh and try to upgrade the mecha and exo-suits. They will come in handy.” with such words I departed from this world.
----------------------------------------
Artemis POV
John?: “ Rest of the information will be provided after the task I gave you. Oh and try to upgrade the mecha and exo-suits. They will come in handy.”
I can't believe it! Who is he? I examine the coin, but I don't understand any of it's symbols.
Carla: “Rift, huh? Moron. You could at least told me your name.*Sigh* Will have to complete the task he gave me for the answers...” Never thought he was something out of this world. Guess that storage device was not a device at all...
