Chapter 1,277 New Body

The Martian colony is going through an encounter similar to Brahma's.

As the Halo Marines move deeper, the "aboriginals" underground have gradually begun to show their sharp claws. First a devil bug, now a Corruptor that can spit acid and bite its prey with its claws and teeth.

What's next?

Jiang Chen didn't know, or no one in the whole world knew.

All news involving Mineral Point 071 was suppressed by Star Ring Trading. After being interviewed, the Marines involved in the operation covered up the entire incident as the discovery of devil bugs near Mineral Point 071. Because Future Mining was not involved, the aftermath of this incident was much easier than the last time, and it did not even attract the attention of the international community at all.

As for the families of the fallen soldiers, of course, without exception, they received a large pension. Although this cannot make up for the pain of losing a loved one, it can at least make the living a slightly better life in the future.

"The Mars colony needs not reinforcements, but solutions."

“The question is what is the solution?”

"We need specimens, more specimens! Only by understanding their structure can we defeat them!"

"It's actually not difficult to defeat them. No creature can resist electromagnetic guns and flames. The problem is... there are just too many of them."

There was constant discussion in the conference room, but in contrast to the heated discussion, the senior management of the 071 Project Department has not discussed any feasible plan so far.

Specimens, more specimens.

This seems easy to say, but it is much more difficult to collect specimens of corruptors that act in groups than to collect specimens of devil bugs.

This underground creature doesn't seem to be good at digging, at least the digging speed is far behind compared to the devil bug that seems to swim underground. But on the other hand, they are superior in intelligence, especially in "growing" oxygen-producing fungi.

For these reasons, their underground activity range is not very wide.

Some people have even speculated that the Corruptor's lair may be located near the ruins of the Gaia civilization. What the Halo Marines discovered was just their newly developed lair. After all, the ultrasonic fence drove away the devil bugs in this area, freed up a wide space, and deprived them of natural enemies that might threaten their activities in this area.

The meeting came to an end for now.

Walking into the lounge next to him, Jiang Chen made himself a cup of coffee, walked to the armchair and sat down.

A question has been bothering him these days.

Why did the monster he saw in the memory of the harmonious civilization appear under the Mars 071 mineral point. If he remembered correctly, the source of these corruptors was the specimen bank of Gaia civilization. However, according to the memory of Gaia civilization, they did not travel that far at all.

"...The three major camps all established research stations on Mars before the war. The cause of World War III was the economic crisis in 2150, the Gaia civilization 3.7 billion years ago, Gliese 581g..."

Gently tapping the edge of the coffee cup with his fingers, Jiang Chen sorted out the information in his mind into strings while looking at the rising white mist.

In the dark, he had a premonition.

He was very close to the truth.

At this moment, the door to the lounge opened, and Ayesha walked behind Jiang Chen with light steps.

Feeling the gentle kneading on his shoulders, Jiang Chen smiled slightly, closed his eyes comfortably, relaxed his muscles and leaned back on the chair.

"Comfortable?"

"Excellent."

The corners of his lips curved up in a happy smile, as if he had gotten it.

"Are you busy recently?"

"Well, the trouble is always crashing," Jiang Chen sighed softly and said in a joking tone, "Sometimes I wish I could divide myself into three people. One person stays in the synchronous orbit, and the other sits on Coro Island."

As for the other person, Jiang Chen didn't say anything, but Ayesha knew in her heart that he was referring to the world that had been destroyed by war.

Speaking of this, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered the serial number x71291 he picked up from Subway Line 0.

I don’t know what’s going on with Lin Ling.

If it helps, many things will be much easier...

perhaps?

…

"Ah sneeze!"

After sneezing, Lin Ling, who was wearing a white coat, rubbed her red nose and threw the welding gun aside.

"Who is thinking about me..."

After muttering something softly, Lin Ling skillfully stretched out her hand and tapped the holographic screen a few times quickly.

Looking at the stable parameters in the chart, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the "artwork" on the operating table, the corners of her mouth gradually raised a hint of pride, her small breasts slightly raised, and she boasted to the empty "person".

"Hmph, it's indeed my masterpiece. The so-so is one-tenth as beautiful as mine... No, it's one percent."

Just when her little nose was about to reach the sky, a voice floated over at an inappropriate time.

"Huh, weak body."

I don't know since when, the "artwork" lying on the operating table has opened his eyes and is looking at the boastful Lin Ling with his pale eyes.

Her flawless white skin is enough to envy all women in the world. Her little arms and legs are like delicate porcelain dolls. Her soft golden hair is scattered like a waterfall. Her hazel eyes are somewhat ethereal. , like an elf girl walking out of an oil painting.

"Shut up," Lin Ling put her hands on her hips and glared at her fiercely, "Do you know how much time I spent on building this body for you?"

"Well, speaking from a half-hearted level, it's just so-so..."

Ignoring the frantic Lin Ling, the girl said these words in a calm tone, got up from the operating table and stood on the ground.

She walked to the mirror and turned around, nodded slightly, and then spoke in an unceremonious tone.

"Lend me the lab for two days."

"What?"

"This body is too weak. I need to build a more convenient body for myself." The girl said matter-of-factly.

"A convenient body?" Lin Ling frowned suspiciously, "What do you want to do?"

She is not afraid that number x71291 will erase the restrictions on her body, because the so-called restrictions are no longer on this body at all. Her body still remains in the apocalypse—the quantum computer unit that was moved from Line 0 to Wanghai City and is now heavily guarded. And except for quantum computer groups of the same size, there is no other place in the world that can be used as a place for it.

As for what controls this body, it's just a chipset equipped with a Crane particle transmitter.

In other words, if she makes any unpleasant move, Jiang Chen or anyone on Lin Ling's side can shut down her "brain" in the shortest possible time.

Although number x71291 said that he was not interested in doing such meaningless things, basic precautions were still necessary.

Artificial intelligence is a double-edged sword.

Jiang Chen deeply agreed with this.

If used well, perhaps as number x71291 said, it can increase his chances of winning by 1%.

But if it's not used properly, he won't be surprised if anything happens...

"If the host's life functions stop, my self-destruction program will also start, right?" the girl said calmly.

"That's right." Because it was agreed upon, Lin Ling admitted this point simply, "As promised at the beginning, protecting Jiang Chen's safety is also one of your obligations. If anything happens to him, no matter what Whether it has anything to do with you or not, we will destroy you."

The girl nodded and spread her little arms.

"So, what do you expect me to do in this state?"

Lin Ling's expression was a little embarrassed.

Obviously, she also realized the problem.

Apart from the titanium alloy skeleton, this body looks like that of a cute little girl. Not to mention her basic fighting ability, it’s just a blessing that she doesn’t attract strange monsters when she walks on the street.

"What weapon do you need? Electromagnetic gun? Gamma ray? Or general thermal weapon? I will add it to you now..."

"No need, I can do it myself." The girl shook her head, but in her indifferent pupils, there was a look that made Lin Ling furious.

That look.

It was clearly a mockery of her superb skills!

However, Lin Ling couldn't think of how to refute.

After all, this is a taunt from an advanced artificial intelligence...
