Di Ruiji's weak voice came from the side.
"of course can."
Moyin stretched out his hand and held the little hand that Di Ruiji held in the air but didn't dare to hold.
…………
On the other side of Rove Wilkes City, in front of a convenience store.
"Wow, did you see that huge tornado just now? It's so scary."
A girl with lightning-shaped ahoge pointed at the sky deep in the city and shouted.
"Well... that's a bit scary indeed."
P38, who was dual-wielding pistols, nodded in agreement.
"Stechkin, P38, calm down, both of you. I have already contacted Miss Helian. She has arranged for a very capable person to come and handle this matter. That person will be our commander in the future."
A silver-haired humanoid with a calm expression started to scold the two of them.
"Wow, Makarov, could it be that we have been sold out by our family?"
The expression on Stechkin's face suddenly became ugly.
"Yes, Miss Helian and the others can't handle the virus in us. If we go back to the headquarters, Griffin's staff might also be infected with those infected outside, so they have no choice but to hand us over to the commander who is here to deal with the matter."
Makarov nodded affirmatively.
"Wow, I finally got used to Griffin. What if that guy doesn't pay us? I still have clothes I want to buy and food I want to taste. What if the new commander doesn't pay me?"
Stechkin had a gloomy face, and was obviously very dissatisfied with the fact that Griffin headquarters directly transferred them.
"So what are you going to do? Stay in this city and wait for the energy to run out without any supplies? The parts of your body will wear out and eventually become scrap without any replacements, and eventually turn into a pile of scrap metal and rot in this city?"
"Don't be willful. This is the fate of us humanoids. You'd better accept it."
Makarov had no intention of comforting Stechkin at all, for the simple reason that she did not have a good judgment about the future.
Even if telling lies here seems to comfort Stechkin, her dissatisfaction will accumulate and explode when she is really treated badly. It is better for her, the captain, to destroy her expectations of her future life first. In this way, if the commander who receives them later can be a little better to them, Stechkin will probably be able to hold on.
Even if she was hated by Stechkin here, it was better than having her mind melted away if she disobeyed orders.
This was due to what she had read from a wise man: if you want to make a skylight on the roof, first tell the other party that you want to lift up the roof, then both of you take a step back, and then you can deliberately and easily open the skylight. Hopefully... the new commander just wants to open a skylight instead of lifting up the roof or demolishing the house.
"Well, you two, please stop arguing. As long as we do our jobs well and are useful to humanity, we should be able to live a decent life, right?"
P38 spoke to smooth things over.
"I don't want to just get by. Even if we are humanoids, I still have things I want to do. Humans, why do you want to install a system like the Mind Cloud that simulates emotions on us?"
Stechkin complained gloomily.
"That... is not something we can control. Every humanoid is created with a certain mission. Our task is to complete this mission. This is the mission given to us by humans..."
"Just like humans, no one comes to this world voluntarily, but they have to live, so we have to live like this too."
Makarov answered.
Stechkin was silent.
A gust of powerful wind blew by, and the three humanoids seemed to feel some invisible force sweeping across their bodies.
The purple miasma in the air seemed to be dispersed by the wind... no, or melted away? The warm sunlight shone on the three people.
"It's sunny..."
P38 I feel happy looking at the blue sky.
Since a few days ago, the sun in the sky has been obscured by the lavender miasma, and the whole city has been shrouded in a sense of despair brought about by death. Even though they are human, they are more or less affected by this desperate atmosphere and are a little depressed, but now, the despair is dispelled by this ray of warm sunshine.
"Well... God bless me, God bless me, please give me a rich commander. Ah, whether it's God or some unknown god, please hear my prayers and bless me with a rich and sponsoring commander next time!"
Stechkin's previous bad mood seemed to have improved a lot. She was praying silently at this moment. Although her attitude... it was estimated that even if there were gods who heard her prayers, they would not fulfill her wishes.
However, Markov did not intend to continue to attack her in this regard.
As the captain, she should not let her have too much hope, nor let her lose hope. However, what kind of person is the new commander who can make Miss Helian tell him to be polite? Makarov couldn't help but ponder.
"Huh, humans? Makarov, look, there are still living humans!"
P38's surprised voice pulled Makarov out of his thoughts.
A black-haired young man walked over step by step, holding the hand of a purple-haired little girl.
Makarov couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The people outside the city were scared away by the infected and she thought there were no living people in the city, but she didn't expect to see two living people here. . .
She didn't think at all about what Helian said about someone coming to deal with the situation in the city.
After all, it took them eight hours to get here from the headquarters.
"Three lovely humanoid ladies, nice to meet you. My name is Moyin. Helian should have mentioned to you that I will be taking care of you from now on, right?"
The black-haired young man who walked up to him had a spring-like warm smile on his face and greeted him politely.
"Yes... Hello, Commander."
Facing the gentlemanly Moyin, Makarov was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Chapter 588 Stechkin: What kind of divine commander is this!
P38 at the side was already full of tears. Such a handsome commander was also so gentle and elegant. She! Wanted to work under him! ! ! ! ! ! !
Miss Helian always had a serious face. Every time P38 saw Helian so serious, she was a little scared. She dreamed of having a commander as gentle as Moyin.
"Then please follow me. The problems of this city have been solved."
Moyin smiled kindly.
"Um, Commander~ Can we talk about the salary issue?"
Stechkin raised his hand weakly.
"Salary... Well, since there are no tasks during normal times, I don't usually pay salaries."
Hearing what Moyin said, Stechkin's cute little face immediately fell. No salary!!! No salary!!! Without salary, wouldn't my life be like this...
But a gold bar appeared in front of her.
"Is this enough as pocket money? I don't carry much cash with me."
Looking at the gold bar handed over by Moyin, Stechkin looked at the gold bar for a while, then looked at Moyin who was looking at him with a smile, and then looked at the gold bar again.
After repeating the operation several times, Stechkin finally opened his mouth stiffly.
"This, this, is for me?"
Stechkin asked with a twitching mouth.
"Well, is that enough?"
Moyin nodded in affirmation.
"Enough, enough, enough! From today on, you are my dear invincible commander! No, we are a family! If you don't have a spouse yet, why don't we get married... Ugh!!!"
Stechkin, who was overjoyed and snatched the gold bar from Moyin's hand, hadn't finished his words when he was hit hard in the stomach by P38. His whole body was bent like a shrimp in pain.
But the gold in her hand completely diluted her pain and anger.
"Ahahaha, Commander, don't mind it. Stechkin usually likes to talk nonsense."
P38 showed a lovely smile.
"Uh... I don't mind. Of course, there's pocket money for both of you too."
Moyin took out two gold bars and handed them to P38 and Makarov respectively.
"Ahhh, this, this is not possible, Commander, how can we accept such an expensive gift!"
P38 waved his hands repeatedly.
Honestly, of course she wanted it. If she accepted the gold bar, she could buy cute clothes and show her lovely self to the commander, but she also didn't want to give Moyin the impression that she was greedy for money.
"Well, don't worry about it. My dolls usually get this much pocket money, okay? It's not given to you as special treatment."
Moyin explained gently, and when he heard that everyone accepted the pocket money, P38 also accepted the gold bars with peace of mind.
"Commander, please don't give me any money. Please invest my money into military expenditures to strengthen the headquarters' combat power."
Makarov shook his head and did not take his gold bar.
"Well, don't worry about that. My T-dolls are the strongest in the world, okay? We have specially reserved funds for that. Just treat these as pocket money. At worst, when you are assigned to a certain area for a mission in the future, sometimes money can play a crucial role, okay?"
"For example, you can hire local people as guides or buy intelligence. Money can do a lot of things. It's better for you to carry some money with you."
Moyin began to persuade Makarov.
"Well... in that case, let me accept your gift with gratitude."
Makarov was also convinced by Moyin. She would use the money where it should be used.
While feeling impressed by the generosity of the new commander, Makarov also couldn't help but feel impressed by the new commander's meticulous mind.
Stechkin liked money, so he generously gave her a gold bar, but P38 was shy and didn't want to accept it, so he normalized it to make her think it was a very common thing and made her accept the gold bar.
As for me, he judged that I have a serious character through a few simple conversations. He actually used the reason that he would use the money in the process of carrying out the mission to convince me to accept it. This is a very powerful person.
"Well, let's drive to the headquarters first."
Moyin waved his hand, and an off-road vehicle appeared in front of the three people.
Although everyone was very surprised by the scene before them, no one asked why.
Moyin opened the driver's seat and sat in. Di Ruiji, who was standing beside him, naturally wanted to climb into Moyin's arms and sit down.
"Ahem, what are you holding, Di Ruiji? I can't drive if you do this."
Moyin smiled bitterly.
"But, but, if I touch them... I'm scared."
Di Ruiji raised his head weakly and looked at Moyin with pitiful eyes as he explained.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, just believe in my strength."
