I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World - Chapter 1276

Chapter 1276 – A New Body

The Mars colony experienced a similar encounter to the Brahma.

As Celestial Marines descended down, the ?Aboriginals? underground gradually began to reveal their sharp claws. Devil Worms from the start, now the Corrupters that could spit acid and tear their prey with their sharp fangs.

What?s next?

Jiang Chen did not know; no one in the world knew.

All news related to the Mine 071 site was suppressed by Celestial Trade. All the participating Marines were interviewed after the entire incident to cover up the Devil Worm Incident near Mine 071. Because the incident did not involve Future Mining, the treatment of this incident was much easier compared to the previous time, and did not even attract the attention of the international community.

As for the family members of the soldiers who died, of course, they all received a considerable pension. Although money wouldn?t make up for the pain of losing their loved ones, it could at least make those still alive live a little better.

?What the Mars Colony needs is not reinforcements, but solutions.?

?The problem is what is the solution??

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

?It is not difficult to defeat them. No creature can resist electromagnetic pulse cannons and flames. The problem is … there are too many of them.?

There were constant arguments in the conference room. However, despite the fierce discussions, the senior executives of Project 071 had yet to come up with any feasible solution.

Specimen, more specimen.

This may seem easy to say, but collecting specimens of Corrupters, which lived together in groups, would be much more difficult compared to collecting specimens of Devil Worms.

This underground creature did not seem to be good at digging, at least its digging speed was far worse than that of Devil Worms, which could be described as swimmers of dirt. On the other hand, however, they were more intelligent, especially at ?planting? oxygen-producing fungi.

For these reasons, their area of activities underground was limited and restricted.

Some even speculated that it was likely that the Corruptor?s lair was located near the ruins of the Gaia civilization. What the Celestial Marines unearthed was only their new lair. After all, the ultrasonic fence eradicated the Devil Worms in this region, which created a vast, inhabited zone for Corruptors free of their potential natural enemies.

The meeting came to an end temporarily.

Jiang Chen went into the lounge and poured a cup of coffee for himself, then he sat down.

A problem had bothered him for the past few days.

Why the monster he saw in the memory of Harmony civilization appeared in Mine 071 on Mars. If he remembered correctly, the source of these Corruptors was the specimen bank of the Gaia civilization. However, based on the memory of the Gaia civilization, they did not travel that far.

?… All three factions had stations established on Mars before the war. The cause of the Third World War was due to the economic crisis of 2150, the Gaia civilization 3.7 billion years ago, Gliese 581g …?

He gently tapped the edge of his cup and fixated his eyes on the white mist. Jiang Chen began to sift through the information his head.

Inside the mist, he had a feeling.

He was very close to the truth.

The door of the lounge opened, and Ayesha walked to him in light steps.

Jiang Chen smiled when he felt the tender hands around his shoulders, then closed his eyes, and relaxed his muscles as he leaned back.

?Comfortable??

?It?s great.?

Her lips formed into a happy arc.

?Have you been busy??

?Well, troubles always come together,? Jiang Chen sighed softly and said in a joking tone, ?Sometimes I wish I could divide myself into three people. One stays on the synchronized orbit, and one resides in Coro Island.?

As for the other one, even if Jiang Chen didn?t mention it, Ayesha knew he referred to the world torn by war.

Speaking of this, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered the number X71291 he had picked up from Subway Line 0.

I wonder if Lin Lin made any progress.

If it can help, I think many things would be a lot easier…

Probably?

…

?Ahhchoo!?

Lin Lin in a white loab coat sneezed as she rubbed her slightly red nose and put the welding torch in her hand aside.

?Who is thinking of me…?

She muttered in a low voice; she then quickly tapped the holographic screen a few times.

Looking at the parameters on the chart slowly stabilizing, she let out a sigh. Lin Lin looked at the ?artwork? on the operating table and a proud smile formed. Her small chest raised slightly as she bragged to the empty room.

?Hm, it is indeed a masterpiece of mine. It already possesses one-tenth of my beauty … no, one percent.?

Just as her little nose was about to rise to the sky, a voice interrupted her gloating.

?Hmph, what a weak body.?

The ?artwork? lying on the operating table had opened her eyes, and was looking at the proud Lin Lin with its pale pupils.

The white and flawless skin was enough to make all women in the world envy. The perfect arms and calves seemed to only exist on porcelain dolls. The smooth golden hair scattered down like a waterfall at dusk, and the hazel eyes radiated a pristine and angelic vibe. Every parts came together perfectly to create an elf girl that should only exist in an oil painting.

?Shut up,? Lin Lin glared at her with her hands on her hips, ?Do you know how long it took me to make this body for you??

?Well, it?s not too bad I guess…?

The girl ignored the infuriated Lin Lin and said the sentence without any fluctuation in her emotion. She got up from the operating table and jumped onto the ground.

She walked to the mirror and nodded. Then she said in an impolite tone.

?Lend me the lab for two days.?

?What??

?This body is too weak, I need to make a more convenient body for myself.? The girl said as if the lab belonged to her.

?A more convenient body?? Lin Lin frowned suspiciously. ?What do you want to do??

She was not afraid X71291 would erase the restriction placed on her, since the so-called restriction was not on her body. Her core remained in the apocalypse, on the quantum computer that was moved from Subway Line 0 to Wanghai and was currently guarded by heavy military presence. And other than quantum computers of the same size, there was no other place in the world that could store her presence.

As for what controlled her body, it was just a chipset equipped with a Klein particle transmitter.

In other words, if she did anything unpleasant, either Jiang Chen or Lin Lin could shut down her ?brain? immediately.

Although X71291 indicated that she was not interesting in making such meaningless tasks, basic precautions were still necessary.

AI is a double-edged sword.

Jiang Chen deeply believed the statement.

If he used it well, maybe it would be like what X71291 had said, it?ll help him increase his odds by 1%.

But if he used it ineffectively, he would not be surprised if anything else happened…

?If the host?s life signal stops, my self-destruct program will start, right?? The girl said, without showing any emotion in her voice.

?Yes.? Because it was agreed upon, Lin Lin simply admitted to this point. ?Just like what we agreed at the beginning, protecting Jiang Chen?s security is also one of your obligations. If something goes wrong, whether or not if it is related to you, we will destroy you. ?

The young girl nodded and spread her two small arms.

?So, what can you expect me to do like this??

Lin Lin?s expression was a little awkward.

Obviously, she also realized the problem.

Except for the titanium alloy skeleton, this body was just a cute little girl. Disregarding basic combat power, she should be thankful if this body did not attract any strange weirdoes.

?What weapons do you need? Electromagnetic pulse cannons? Gamma rays? Or ordinary thermal weapons? I?ll add it now …?

?No need, I can do it by myself.? The girl shook her head. However, inside her indifferent pupils, there was an emotion that made Lin Lin enraged.

That look…

Is definitely a mockery of her superb skills!

However, while Lin Lin was angry, she did not know how to refute.

After all, it was mockery directly from an advanced artificial intelligence…
