The doc started saying as his eyes landed on me only to pause as he recognized the combat katanas hilt sticking out from my back.
This weapon was a trademark of cosmic marines, we used It quite extensively once we ran out of ammo.
"So do we have a deal or not?"
I asked.
"Yes!"
The Doc yelled excitedly as he tried to grab the crystal from my hands only for me to return It to my pants pocket.
"Serums first, then payment, my policy doc"
I said as my lips formed Into a grin.
"Tch! No need to be so cold young man!"
Hearing the man call me young I couldn't help but burst out In laughter.
"Oh Im why older than that, In fact I bet, I'm older than you doc"
"Huh? But you look so young, wait don't tell me you are pre-apocalypse and only now came out from a shelter's cryo pod?!"
The doc said excitedly as his breathing rapidly quickened.
"Huh, shelter?"
As I asked this the man's mood did a 180 degrees turn.
"Tch! You don't even f*king know what a shelter Is, stop lying you brat although you are covered In scars you are clearly no older than 40"
"And don't even f*cking try saying that you're actually a ghoul, no ghoul In existence looks that good"
Shelter? Ghoul? Hmm, shelters are most likely the same as the UNOE's super secret doomsday bunkers that are basically stuffed full of the elite so that if humanity nuked Itself back to the Stone Age.
Those elites and their descendants could rebuild civilization from scratch, but since my AI hasn't heard any transmissions from them they either failed.
Or It's still not time for them to come out.
As for ghouls, It must be those militants with faces that only a mother could love.
I reasoned while the doctor stabbed one syringe after another Into Hope's neck's major artery, making Hope wince.
"I highly suggest renting out a high-class apartment for at least one week, she's gonna need it, and here's your change"
The doc said as he gave me 10 mid-level differently colored condensed energy crystals after I gave him my battle brothers crystal.
"What place do you recommend?"
"The rabbit right In front on the other side of the street."
The doc said while pointing at the holographic l*la the bunny girl dressed in revealing clothes sign.
"You're kidding right?"
I asked only to see the doc shrug his shoulders, seeing this I sighed, and just as I turned to look at Hope I saw her lose her footing as I did I caught her before she slammed her beautiful face Into the floor.
"Oh boy you better hurry up, It's already starting, I also recommend putting her In a cold bath, It will help with her body's heat"
"And you've just forgot to mention all that before you administered the serums, what kind of a dock are you?"
I asked sarcastically as I picked up Hope In a princess carry.
"The best the Flying Dragon City has to offer, my young friend"
Hearing this I just rolled my eyes as I beelined straight to the b*othel.
"Thanks for your patronage, be sure to come again!"
I heard the doc shout as I kicked the doors of the brothel open startling Its patrons and workers.
After all, although average height and mass had been vastly enhanced with each generation after the gene resequencing became a thing.
I still stood out like a sore thumb.
As I beelined straight toward the pimp who was sitting behind the counter as she smoked her pipe while techno music kept playing through the brothel's loudspeakers.
Everyone who was In my way visibly buggered off to the sides, as I reached the pimp who truth be told looked like an anime MILF.
I couldn't help but scan her, and behold the 2 meters tall hourglass-shaped body, covered In all tight fitting and black thighs, a black mini skirt, and a long-sleeved black school uniform top with a black witch hat adorning her black lush and loose hair.
Was that of a synth, to be specific an android specifically built for s*x, though this thing had quite the gimmick.
There was an actual human brain In that alloy skull, she was definitely pre-war or war, and from what I know this kind of technology didn't exist at least on the surface.
This woman whoever she was, had achieved Immortality, well that's as long as her brain didn't rot away.
"One room asap"
I said while throwing all of my remaining money on the counter.
"My oh my, to d*ug a girl to that state, you're such a bad boy"
The woman said In a sultry smile as she puffed out clouds of smoke from her mouth.
"Hey old c*nt just give me a room while I'm being nice, you don't want to see me angry believe It"
I said In a low dangerous voice.
"Oh but what If I want?"
The b*tch said as she leaned forward, any further and her perfect F cup-sized braless synthetic breasts were going to slip out.
"Hey, b*tch do you want to die?"
I asked as I grabbed the woman's neck with my right hand and squeezed it lightly, I saw her try to pry away my hand at once with the Intention to crush It but to no avail.
"So what's is it going to be, should I snap your robotic neck or will you give me a goddamn room?"
I asked as I pulled the android who for all I knew could be actually an old dude who loved It then he was being rammed like a common w*ore from behind closer to me causing our noses to practically touch.
"My deepest apologies patron, If you'd be so kind as to let me go I'll personally escort you to your room"
The woman said in that sultry voice while smiling because she seemed to enjoy being strangled which honestly was giving me the creeps.
"Lead the way"
I said as I let her go.
"Follow me"
The synth said as she started climbing up the stairs while shaking her perfect artificial ass up and down, and from what I could see she didn't have any panties on.
"Here you go this room Is the best one we got, Its 10 mid-level crystals for 24 hours"
The woman said as she opened the doors to reveal a luxurious one-room apartment, for a moment I thought that I had returned to the pre-war era.
24 hours huh? Oh well, I'll think of something.
I thought as I entered the room.
"If you need anything else just ring the phone"
The woman said while pointing at the landline phone on the coffee table next to the bed.
"I'll keep that In mind"
I said as I slammed the room door shut, laid down Hope on the king-sized bed, and opened the bathroom door.
"Well, the doc wasn't lying this place is really good."
I muttered to myself as I turned on the water tap, as the high-tech bathtub started filling up with ice-cold water I returned to the room.
I sighed as I started taking off Hope's clothes until she only had her black bra and panties on, I couldn't help but take a moment to study her petite body compared to mine.
She had a black raven tattoo that ecomposed her right shoulder, part of her right breast, and upper right arm.
While roses with thorn tattoos covered her left ass cheek and outer right thigh, overall her body was one that could start wars.
But she's a f*cking nutjob, I wouldn't be surprised If she cut off her husband to be d*ck and balls If he ever dared to cheat on her.
