Exoskeleton Device

“Hehe, you’ll know once you try, right?” Lao Gao looked at the middle-aged man with a dismissive gaze.

He’s really driven mad by research, unlike Lao Gao… He knows that Ping Chengcheng’s abilities are not ordinary; being able to handle those Special Infected means she’s no ordinary character!

The middle-aged man chuckled mockingly, “Oh? Try? I don’t think it’s necessary.”

He glanced at Ping Chengcheng, who was looking at him with a naive expression. A thought sparked in his mind, “How about we make a bet? If you can’t master it, then…”

“Stay here and clean for us for a week.”

Lao Gao was stunned, “You… aren’t you clearly bullying her!”

In fact, everyone here knows that very few people can master this first-generation device. It requires a considerable amount of training to truly control it.

Lao Gao believes that there is no way Ping Chengcheng can master it right away, unless she trains for a while.

But Ping Chengcheng smiled and looked at them, “Okay, but, what if you lose, Uncle?”

She looked at the middle-aged man, “What happens if you lose?”

Everyone present, including Shen Mengyuan who was watching from the side, was stunned. Seriously, she’s really agreeing?

Is she that confident? Maybe… she is a Variant, so what if she defies common sense?

Lao Gao’s expression was a bit ugly. He stepped forward and whispered to Ping Chengcheng, “Hey, are you really confident?”

Although he feels that the girl is not simple, he doesn’t think she can really master it.

He still likes this little cutie, and he doesn’t want to see Ping Chengcheng being bullied.

“Don’t worry, Brother Gao, I’m not afraid.” Ping Chengcheng patted Lao Gao’s shoulder as if to reassure him.

Lao Gao met the girl’s eyes and saw a great confidence in them. For no reason, he felt that the girl would definitely win, so he turned his head and prepared to give Ping Chengcheng a big gift.

“In that case, Lao Deng, if she wins, we’ll give her this exoskeleton mech, how about it?” Lao Gao turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man named Lao Deng.

Lao Deng frowned. Although this bet was a bit too big, he didn’t think the girl could win, “Okay, I’ll bet!”

“Hurry up and prepare for the test, we’ll wait for you here.” He pointed to a room by the wall, which was a changing room.

Without any further ado, Lao Gao helped Ping Chengcheng take the exoskeleton device and put it in the changing room, telling her how to use it before leaving.

In the changing room, the girl sat alone on a chair, taking off her clothes.

There are many things to pay attention to when wearing an exoskeleton. You have to change into a special tight-fitting combat suit. Clothes that are too loose can easily get stuck in the mechanical structure.

This is a black combat suit.

The combat suit is very comfortable, wrapping around the girl’s entire body. It feels like being massaged. In short… it’s very unique. Just wearing it makes you feel relieved of fatigue.

After putting it on, the girl put the entire exoskeleton in front of her. It adopts a design where the upper and lower body are separated.

When wearing it, it is a cross connection of magnetic suction and mechanics. This position has been specially thickened for protection, so there is no need to worry about it falling apart during strenuous exercise.

Unable to hide her inner excitement, the girl first sat on the chair and inserted her beautiful legs wrapped in the combat suit into the lower part of the exoskeleton device.

It completely covers above the hips, firmly clinging to Ping Chengcheng’s slender waist. At first, it was a bit loose, after all, the girl’s figure is very petite.

But there is an automatic adjustment button on its side. After pressing it, the entire device instantly fits perfectly on the combat suit. Ping Chengcheng stood up and walked a few steps, discovering the reason for their argument.

Indeed, it seems to be too easy to use… The girl just used a little force, and felt her legs uncontrollably walking forward. It’s very labor-saving, but really difficult to control. This is still without connecting the energy source. How terrifying will it be after it is activated?

I wonder if it can bear the load of the girl’s full physical strength.

Wearing the upper body in the same way, connecting the magnetic suction and mechanical buckles, the energy device on the back made a crisp “di-” sound, followed by a female voice.

[First generation 【Dark Night Era】activated successfully, welcome, first driver, please tell me your name]

Raising her eyebrows, this was something the girl didn’t expect. Is it equipped with artificial intelligence? Such advanced technology?

The foundation of A City seems to be far beyond her imagination.

“Hello, my name is Ping Chengcheng.”

[Hello, Miss Ping, please tap your left forearm five times to enter the 【Dark Night Era】light load operation state]

Ping Chengcheng followed its instructions and tapped her left arm five times.

With a “buzz~” sound, the girl felt a slight vibration from the energy device on her back, but it was so small that it could be ignored.

[If you want to enter 【Biochemical Mode】, please whisper Xiao An.]

“Xiao An?”

“Ka-cha~ Ka–“

Suddenly, a full-coverage dark red helmet instantly rose from the collar of the exoskeleton. At this moment, the exoskeleton wrapped the girl’s entire body, like a warrior from the future.

In the girl’s eyes, various parameter data were displayed on the built-in glass of the helmet, such as the girl’s current physical condition and comprehensive assessment.

Comprehensive assessment: Non-human body

Seeing this, the girl was shocked.

How can there be such a function? Doesn’t that mean…

[Miss Ping, please don’t worry, Xiao An will not leak the operator’s privacy]

Ping Chengcheng felt a little relieved, but was still a little worried. What if this sentence is just a program they deliberately set?

The girl’s hair stood on end, but since this is the case, she can only take it one step at a time.

[You are my first operator, and I think you should also be the strongest one, Miss Ping, add oil]

Ignoring what Xiao An said, Ping Chengcheng devoted herself to studying what the “Biochemical Mode” is all about.

In less than a minute, she understood that it was to reduce the threat to zombies to a very high degree. Now that she is walking outside wearing this exoskeleton, she is likely to be regarded as an ordinary iron lump by the zombies and will not be attacked by them.

It’s just that those Special Infected are not necessarily.

Moving her body a few times, Ping Chengcheng opened the door and walked out of the changing room. Instantly, several lines of sight converged.

Ping Chengcheng walked towards the crowd as if nothing had happened, her footsteps making a crisp “click” sound on the ground.

Her whole body was wrapped in the exoskeleton, and her petite body was embellished with a combat suit and armor, which looked quite charming. Lao Gao was lost for a moment, shook his head, and looked at Ping Chengcheng walking so skillfully without any lag, his breathing quickened.

“Unfortunately, we lost.” Lao Gao looked at Lao Deng, his tone was very sad, but he was actually smiling.

“Lao Deng, it’s all your fault for betting on this! Now it’s good! We have to give away the first generation that we finally created!”

Lao Deng’s face was as black as coal, “I, it was your suggestion… Moreover, the real test hasn’t started yet!”

“Ping Chengcheng, right? Come with us to do the test!”

He doesn’t believe that Ping Chengcheng can pass those tests!
