Chapter 31: Incoming Attack
Following the directional sign, Zack pressed deeper into the venue, his armored boots crunching over the debris scattered across the floor. High-tech remnants lay everywhere—robots, 3D printers, chips, and advanced machinery. Once symbols of humanity's cutting-edge technology, they were now abandoned like trash. He couldn't help but feel it was such a waste. While any other scavenger would have snatched up the pieces without a second thought, Zack's goal was clear: the robotic arm. With some modifications, he could use it to rebuild nearly all of the abandoned tech into something far more advanced. There was just no way to haul all this junk back with him.
"It's a shame," Zack muttered as he moved on, eventually reaching Zone D.
Four robotic arms stood in Hall 07, looking similar to those used in most factories, but with a far more complex design. As he studied them, the virtual display in his helmet began breaking down their intricate features. The arms were made of over 10,000 parts, the smallest of which was less than a millimeter in diameter. These weren't just ordinary tools; they were masterpieces of engineering, long before the apocalypse.
He spotted an informational plaque nearby and moved closer to read:
______________
OPT-TFH-2024-Robotic Arm
Developed over nine years by John Kenneth, these robotic arms feature a multi-joint structure enabling independent four-axis movement. Equipped with modular, dexterous hands, they can adapt seamlessly to complex work environments, performing a wide range of tasks with exceptional precision. Their advanced design allows for maximum accuracy down to the nanometer level, making them perfect for delicate operations and high-stakes applications.

Zack couldn't deny it. These robotic arms were top-tier technology. Now the problem was getting them back to his base. "Ego, find me a nearby transport helicopter."
"Searching... Helicopter located, Sir."
A location popped up on his HUD, guiding him toward the heliport. With a burst of speed, Zack lifted off, the sound of the helicopter's engines tearing through the air.
