[Miss Song Ning, Xiao An believes that, as the second operator, you are the most suitable for Xiao An. As for Miss Ping, she might never encounter such a powerful operator again,] Xiao An’s voice transmitted to Song Ning’s ears, making Song Ning thoughtful.
In the villa’s living room, Wu Sheng excitedly put on the tight-fitting combat suit and donned the exoskeleton armor.
As the magnetic buckles closed, the entire exoskeleton naturally conformed to his body. Wu Sheng swung a fist encased in armor and excitedly shouted.
[Night Age Second Generation successfully activated.]
Wu Sheng felt the fierce power within his body, and his smile stretched from ear to ear. He stood up and began to walk awkwardly. It was awkward and unfamiliar, but Wu Sheng continued to practice diligently.
The second-generation AI was very rigid, seemingly a defective version of Xiao An. It could only perform some simple commands and answer questions.
The difference in appearance was also quite obvious. First of all, the entire exoskeleton looked bulkier. The weight distribution was much greater than the first generation, and it lacked the first generation’s agility.
But this was mainly due to the consideration that ordinary people might not be able to fully utilize all of its functions, so it was designed for error tolerance. It seemed that Lao Gao’s research team had compromised after all. After all, the first generation’s design was indeed somewhat overkill.
Perhaps other than Ping Chengcheng and Song Ning, no one could properly pilot the first generation.
Zheng Zhiyi also changed into her exoskeleton armor and came out of her bedroom on the second floor. These past two days, she had stayed far away from Song Ning. Ping Chengcheng had indeed not threatened her. When Ping Chengcheng gave her the exoskeleton armor today, she had even felt flattered.
Zheng Zhiyi stood at the door of her bedroom, her eyes a little red, and lightly bit her lower lip. With this exoskeleton armor, would she be able to contend against that Flesh Worm?
Would this A City operation pass through the town occupied by the Flesh Worm? She clenched her hands. Perhaps her brother was still alive…
Thinking of what Ping Chengcheng had said about the Flesh Worm’s habit of storing food, Zheng Zhiyi’s eyes stung.
Wu Sheng, on the other hand, was grumbling. It was said that Zheng Zhiyi’s exoskeleton should have belonged to Lao Ba, but what about Lao Ba? Uh…
Wu Sheng and Zheng Zhiyi were both struggling to get used to the exoskeleton’s enhancements, but Song Ning looked puzzled.
‘Is it really that difficult?’
“Knock knock knock~”
The villa door was knocked. Ping Chengcheng went to the entrance and opened the door.
Wang Ji stood at the door and sighed. He glanced at Ping Chengcheng with some reluctance. He hadn’t expected that the girl he had personally recruited into the Emergency Strike Team would become his superior after the operation began the day after tomorrow.
Shen Mengyuan still stood behind Wang Ji, winking at Ping Chengcheng.
Ping Chengcheng returned a smile.
“This operation requires more detailed information on Special Variants, as well as ways to deal with sudden dangers in the apocalypse, and so on,” Wang Ji said weakly.
“So, Commander Lu wants you to talk specifically about what else you know.”
“Is that so?” the girl hummed softly, nodding under Song Ning’s curious gaze.
“Come in. We can talk slowly.”
The recent mutations did not allow the girl to be careless, even for half a day. It was best if there were no accidents in this A City operation. She had to go to that laboratory to find a reagent that could inhibit her transformation into a monster.
She was afraid that she would become a beast with nothing but bloodlust in her mind!
Therefore, Ping Chengcheng was prepared to reveal all the information that might be used.
Ping Chengcheng turned back and took Song Ning’s hand. Under Song Ning’s surprised gaze, she led her to the soft sofa and sat her down.
Wang Ji looked surprised, while Shen Mengyuan curled the corners of her mouth.
Ping Chengcheng laughed and snuggled into the young woman’s arms, leaning against her chest. The young woman was not wearing her exoskeleton armor at this time.
The feeling was a bit hard and not very comfortable, but the girl still enjoyed it.
“Well… let’s talk about Special Infected first.”
In Song Ning’s arms, Ping Chengcheng squinted comfortably, and her voice became a little sweeter.
Wang Ji nodded.
‘Speaking of which, I remember Wu Sheng said that Ping Chengcheng and Song Ning were yuri.’
‘But she clearly remembers that Song Ning is the seme! Song Ning, you should act the seme for him!’
This made Wang Ji feel uncomfortable.
“Okay, please speak, Miss Ping.”
He and Shen Mengyuan sat opposite Song Ning and the others. Shen Mengyuan took out her notebook and prepared to record.
The girl thought about the Special Infected manual from her previous life and revealed everything without reservation. There was no need to hold back anything. In this base, there was currently no one who threatened her. Even the base’s general commander, Lu Linyuan, seemed to have a pretty good impression of her.
In order for the A City operation to go smoothly, Ping Chengcheng spoke in great detail.
There were as many as dozens of types of Special Infected, although most were extremely rare, or the environments they lived in were not places where normal people would go…
Wang Ji listened in a daze, and Song Ning also stared blankly while holding the petite girl in her arms.
How did Ping Chengcheng know all this?
The day Song Ning met the girl, the girl clearly said that she had been hiding for a long time before she had to come out to find food…
‘…That was obviously a lie she told me.’
Song Ning frowned. Now that she thought about it, it seemed that the first thing the girl said when they first met was a lie.
Thinking of this, Song Ning’s mind was extremely chaotic, and at the same time, she felt that the girl was even more mysterious… How did she know these things? Before she had met her, what had this girl experienced?
Who exactly was Ping Chengcheng?
The young woman’s heart was full of doubts. The girl was becoming more and more unfamiliar in her eyes, and she felt that the distance between them was growing farther and farther. What else was Chengcheng hiding from her…?
Countless chaotic thoughts filled the young woman’s mind.
Why? Why did Ping Chengcheng have such a twisted affection for her?
Why did Ping Chengcheng have that inexplicable hostility toward Ping Yan?
She wanted to question Ping Chengcheng, but would Chengcheng tell her? Or, even if she told her, would what she said be true?
‘How annoying! How annoying!’
Song Ning took a deep breath to calm her turbulent heart.
The girl had just finished explaining all the Special Infected. In addition, she also talked about some of the more common Variants. Although the girl thought that the chances of encountering them were low, it was better to say a little just in case.
By the time Ping Chengcheng stopped introducing them, Shen Mengyuan had filled four pages of notes.
She looked at the girl with black lines all over her face and shook her sore wrist.
She suspected that the girl definitely knew many other things!
Shen Mengyuan stared at Ping Chengcheng’s face, seeing the girl with a thoughtful look, wondering if she should tell her about them or not. ‘Ping Chengcheng, you’re really not simple…’
Wang Ji finally came back to his senses from his daze. ‘Woah, the amount of information today is too much!’
He snatched the notebook from Shen Mengyuan and looked again at the various Special Infected and novel monsters introduced inside, exclaiming from time to time.
Wu Sheng and Zheng Zhiyi had also been quietly listening not far away, and they were also quite surprised.
Wang Ji was panting, his face red with excitement. He didn’t know what to say… With Ping Chengcheng in S City Base, it was like having a treasure!
Having this information meant having more capital to compete with other bases. In the future, the chances of winning during the base’s resource exploration would be greatly reduced!
Development might be faster, and by then, S City Base was expected to become the largest base in China.
Ping Chengcheng’s throat was parched. To her knowledge, there were forty-five types of Special Infected in total, and the number of Variants was slightly higher, at sixty.
The top ten most dangerous types of Variants were unique in the world, with no second ones to be found, and each was powerful and terrifying.
As for Variants, it could only be said that they were strange and had all kinds of freaks. Ping Chengcheng had even seen a guy whose brain had mutated and could spit his brain out of his mouth and drill it into other people’s heads to parasitize them.
