In the third week of Project 071's stagnation, the first weekend of SS Origin's departure, the good news from the apocalypse made Jiang Chen temporarily put down the work at hand.
Lin Lin told him through the interdimensional communication device that the body of X 71291 was completed.
When Jiang Chen learned of this news, he immediately took the space elevator back to the surface, boarded a helicopter, and flew to Coconut Island, which he used as a material transfer station. Then he traveled to the apocalypse without stopping.
Lin Institute, inside a laboratory.
When Jiang Chen pushed the door open and walked into the room, Lin Lin was standing next to the operating table, pointing at the tablet in her hand. And on the operating table in front of her, a petite girl was lying there. When Jiang Chen looked over, the girl was also looking at him.
Although it was the first time he saw her in this form, from her eyes, Jiang Chen saw some familiarity. Although this appearance was quite beautiful, for some reason, he couldn't get rid of the strong sense of incongruity in his heart.
"We meet again." Seeing Jiang Chen walking over, the girl lying on the operating table nodded slightly. "Mr. Jiang Chen."
"X 71291?"
"From your tone, I can feel your surprise." Looking at Jiang Chen, X 71291 said in a monotonous tone.
Jiang Chen pulled Lin Lin to the side and whispered in her ear.
"Why did you make it … like this?"
"What else? Do you want me to make a … make a thing out of it? "Lin Lin took half a step back to create distance. Her cheeks were blushing as she stared at Jiang Chen.
Perhaps it was because the topic of discussion was too embarrassing, or because of the hot air blowing into her ear, Lin Lin felt her face was particularly hot …
"I'm not talking about gender." Jiang Chen smiled bitterly.
It was not an issue of gender. After all, when Jiang Chen first saw her, she appeared in front of him as the virtual character "Yao Tingting". However, this petite appearance on her body looked very out of place.
"Don't worry, the program has no gender." The corners of the girl's mouth raised slightly, and she said in a flat tone, "And that kind of troublesome thing is not needed at all. Giving me a body that can integrate into human society is enough."
Looking at the silent Jiang Chen, the girl tilted her head.
"Is there a problem?"
He stared blankly at number X 71291 and shook his head.
"Nothing, I'm just curious … Didn't Lin Lin install an emoji system for you?"
"Oh, that. To save electricity, I turned it off. " The girl said expressionlessly and then looked at Lin Lin who had been fiddling with the tablet. "Are you done yet? You can ask me if you don't understand anything."
"Soon." Lin Lin unwillingly looked at the tablet in her hand as her fingers quickly tapped on the screen.
"This is?"
Jiang Chen cast a questioning look at Lin Lin.
"She borrowed my lab to add some parts to her body." With a blushing face, Lin Lin's gaze drifted to the side in embarrassment. She scratched her head awkwardly and muttered, "But I can't find it …"
"Parts?" Jiang Chen repeated, puzzled.
"So you are looking for that." The girl sighed. "You can just tell me."
Lin Lin blushed and looked to the side without speaking.
Obviously, she felt quite frustrated that she lost to number X 71291 in her field of expertise.
"Based on the original agreement, I will be responsible for protecting your safety. In order to be able to deal with all kinds of dangers, I installed some convenient weapons on this body. This thing is very troublesome to explain. Why don't we find a place and I will directly demonstrate it to you. "
Indeed.
If it was a weapon, there was no more intuitive explanation than "give it a try."
Under Lin Lin's lead, Jiang Chen and number X 71291 came to the first floor of the basement, a shooting range covering hundreds of square meters. This shooting range was previously used to test electromagnetic pulse cannons, Gauss rifles, and the resistance of a certain hadron material.
"There are Death Claws, Mud Crabs, and the most common zombies in the sample library in the lab. Basically, all the mutants that can be captured around Wanghai can be found here … Which one do you want to start with? "Lin Lin looked at the girl standing there expressionlessly and asked.
"Let's start with Death Claws."
"Are you sure?"
"Mhmm." Without wasting any more time with Lin Lin, the girl opened the security door and stepped into the isolation room.
Lin Lin opened her mouth but didn't say anything else. She pressed a few times on the touchpad.
The floor of the isolation room moved to both sides to form a square opening of a few square meters. Soon, a metal cage with Death Claws slowly rose and stopped in the middle of the isolation room.
Stimulated by the light in the isolation room, the sleeping Death Claws slowly woke up from its sleep and quickly rushed to the side of the cage.
Its sharp teeth oozed out disgusting saliva and its blade-like claws tightly clung to the steel bars of the cage. Its amber eyes darted around under its dry eyelids and finally stopped on number X 71291. Followed by a low growl, the thumb-thick steel bars under its restless movements began to squeak as if it couldn't handle the heavy load.
On one side was a dangerous mutant nearly three meters tall, on the other side was a girl that looked like a fragile porcelain doll. The atmosphere between the two formed a strong contrast.
"Do you not need a weapon?" Jiang Chen looked at the petite figure and asked.
Although even if the body was broken, it wouldn't affect number X 71291 in the quantum computer, he still couldn't help but worry for it standing in the isolation room.
"No need." But the girl only said emotionlessly before she turned to look at Lin Lin. "Open the cage."
Lin Lin stuck out her tongue and pressed on the touchpad.
With a "ka" sound, the lock on the steel bars of the cage suddenly popped open. The steel door in front of the Death Claw heavily fell to the ground.
Almost at the same time, the Death Claw charged out of the cage and roared at the "prey" in front of it.
His amber eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty light.
It was going to tear the person in front of it apart! It was going to tear apart the humans that dared to imprison it!
With the Death Claw charging at her, the girl stood there without any movement. Just as Jiang Chen almost thought it was scared out of its wits, he suddenly noticed a pool of silver water was spreading from the bottom of number X 71291's feet.
[Peed?]
Jiang Chen's expression was a bit odd.
In a few seconds, the Death Claw was already close.
Just as its sharp claws were about to cut open the girl's chest, a silver wall suddenly popped up from the ground and blocked between the girl and the Death Claw.
Ding!
Sparks flew and a crisp sound of metal colliding echoed.
The Death Claw jumped back in pain. Its amber eyes widened as it stared at the silver wall in front of it.
The smooth and clean silver shell was like a sturdy mirror, like a shield in front of the girl.
The Death Claw's feet rubbed against the ground as it stared at the prey in front of it. It moved a few steps to the side and circled to her side. Looking at the prey that didn't move at all, its legs suddenly exerted force as it roared and pounced at her.
The corner of her mouth curled into a faint mocking smile as she raised her right hand slightly. The silver wall turned back into a pool of silver water. With her position as the center, the silver water converged in the direction of the Death Claw.
"Roar!"
The Death Claw's roar made the glass in the isolation room tremble.
Looking at the Death Claw charging at her, the girl only smiled.
As if she was dusting off her sleeves, she waved her hand in the direction of the Death Claw.
Countless thumb-thick spikes burst out from the ground like crisscrossing spikes, blocking all possible escape routes for the Death Claw.
Unable to stop in time, the Death Claw was like a fly that fell into a trap. It crashed into the needles without any preparation and was pierced into a sieve. While maintaining its pouncing posture, it was frozen in mid-air by the silver needles.
The sharp claws stopped two inches in front of her.
She turned around and looked at the dumbfounded Lin Lin and Jiang Chen behind the tempered glass. A curvature appeared on the girl's face.
From the astonished gazes of the two men, she felt an unprecedented joy …
