Who Dares Disturb My Slumber

With hope reignited in their hearts, the two brothers immediately mustered their last bit of strength, rowing the raft desperately toward the small island.

Half an hour later, the exhausted pair finally brought the raft against a reef on the shore.

Perhaps their luck had turned; upon landing, they discovered a puddle not far away, filled with precious fresh water!

Having drunk their fill, the two finally regained some strength and began to explore the island in search of food.

"Boss, I have a bad feeling about this place!" The third brother, a veteran of underground bare-knuckle boxing, possessed a beast-like intuition for danger. He stood outside a patch of woods on the island, hesitating.

"Don't talk nonsense! Even if there are wild beasts, are we just going to roll over and die? Even if a Tyrannosaurus Rex jumped out, I'd eat it raw just to show you!" The boss fiercely drew his pistol, his eyes gleaming with a predatory light.

With that, he walked into the woods first. The third brother scratched his head and followed.

The two passed through a dense forest, and as the surrounding environment gradually changed, even the boss—who had boasted about eating a Tyrannosaurus Rex—began to feel that something was wrong.

The trees grew sparse, replaced by solar panels covered in green camouflage, stretching out in vast swathes that filled their entire field of vision.

Although it was hard to distinguish from a distance, it was easy to spot the anomaly once they got closer.

"There are people on this island! This island has been developed!"

The increasingly obvious signs of human activity made the realization hit them immediately.

"Boss, there are people! We're saved!" the third brother exclaimed with joy.

"Idiot, let's see what's going on first. Would normal people bother with this kind of camouflage?"

"Uh... maybe they're an environmentalist?"

Boss: "..."

Suppressing the urge to smack this idiot, the boss moved with increasing caution, but there was nothing in the vicinity except for more solar panels, with no signs of human presence.

Suddenly, the grass not far from them began to "rustle," as if something was moving inside.

The two looked over nervously, and the boss immediately aimed his only pistol in that direction.

"Clatter!" To their utter astonishment, a toy robot about 20 centimeters tall hopped out of the grass. It wore a little vest and jeans, and its cute, blocky head featured two pointed antenna ears. It was currently trudging forward, carrying a damaged solar panel on its back.

To free up the labor of the Mechanical Insects, this entire area of solar collection equipment had been completely retrofitted with ordinary materials rather than Mechanical Insects.

The quality of these man-made objects naturally couldn't compare to the Mechanical Insects, so whenever equipment was damaged due to wild animals or other reasons, these Xiaolang Robots were responsible for recycling and replacing the parts.

Under the design of Nie Yun, this entire process had become fully automated. Without needing any further intervention from Nie Yun, the Xiaolang Robots could complete the tasks perfectly.

The robotic little man completely ignored the two of them, carrying the damaged part and heading straight in one direction.

The two stared at each other for a moment.

"Boss, do you think we stumbled into a land of little people? Like the kind written about in fairy tales?"

Boss: "..."

He glanced sideways at the third brother with a strange expression.

Who would have thought that beneath your wild exterior, you were hiding such a cute, girlish heart?

"Let's go, follow it and see!" The boss finally steeled his heart and made a decision.

The two followed the robotic little man for about ten minutes.

After passing through a dense forest, their field of vision suddenly opened up, and they were stunned into silence by the scene before them.

A silver-white warship nearly a hundred meters long stood abruptly not far away.

This strangely shaped warship was entirely silver-white with a metallic luster and a high-tech feel, yet the layout of the hull and the rows of cannons on its sides resembled the design of medieval warships from movies, giving one an incredibly bizarre feeling.

It sat quietly docked at a makeshift pier. Despite its relatively small size, it exerted an invisible sense of pressure on the two men.

Around the pier were several warehouse-like buildings, and at this moment, countless little robots like the one they had just seen were bustling in and out, making the two men's scalps tingle.

The little robot they had followed all the way tossed the damaged solar panel onto a pile of debris, retrieved a functional one from a nearby warehouse, and then passed by the two of them again, returning the way it came.

"Bo... Boss, we really did enter a land of little people!" The third brother's voice was a bit excited, and he couldn't help but raise his volume.

"Shut up!" the boss said with a dark face, lowering his voice.

He felt a sense of dread; if he wasn't mistaken, they had inadvertently stumbled into an incredible, mysterious area!

If they were discovered, who could guarantee that these eerie little robots would be as friendly as those described in stories about lands of little people?

What if they were actually a group of aliens preparing to invade Earth?

Would they be silenced after being caught? Or taken away for dissection? That's how it always happens in the movies, isn't it!

However, his words came a bit too late; the commotion had already attracted attention.

Not far away, several silver, female-looking robots that were clearly different from the others suddenly turned their heads. The entire bustling scene seemed to fall silent for a split second; all the robots paused their work and turned in unison to look at the two men.

At the same time, the sleeping Nie Yun slowly opened his eyes...

Seeing this scene, the two men felt their scalps nearly explode.

They finally understood exactly what it felt like to be stared at by thousands of robots, some cute and some cold.

"Bo... Boss! I... I have trypophobia!" the third brother gulped, stuttering.

Secret my foot! What were you doing earlier!

"Go, retreat slowly!" the leader said cautiously, then began to edge backward while keeping a close eye on the movements of all the robots.

Before the two could retreat back into the dense forest, a lazy, yawning voice suddenly rang out.

"Ha~ who is it? Disturbing this king's slumber!"

Following the voice, a human figure appeared on the deck of the silver-white warship, squinting down at the two of them.

He was draped in a silver cloak, his face looking very young with somewhat dark skin, and his gaze toward the two was currently quite unfriendly.

The two brothers exchanged a stunned look; this king? There was a lot to unpack in that statement!

"Oh, so it's actually old acquaintances! Sorry, just woke up and didn't have time to change the scene, ahem! Let's try that again. So, you two are the ones who disturbed my nap?"

After Nie Yun finished speaking, he looked at the two with ill intent.

"Run!" Although the leader didn't know why the other party called them old acquaintances, he keenly sensed Nie Yun's malice toward them and immediately shouted before turning to run.

However, before the two had even run a few steps, they very consciously walked back.

Behind them, a large wave of robotic minions was eyeing them covetously, and more importantly, they were carrying shells on their backs.

As the saying goes, the fierce fear the reckless, and the reckless fear those who don't value their lives. "Pinming Sanlang" was indeed at the absolute peak of the mental state when it came to being reckless.

But unfortunately, their opponent was at the same level and also didn't value their life—and there was a whole group of them!

Two people who didn't value their lives fighting against hundreds who didn't value theirs? Are they tired of living?
