Chapter 1281 - The Program is Genderless (1/2)

The third week into Project 071’s temporary suspension and the first weekend since the departure of SS Origin, the good news from the apocalypse made Jiang Chen stop doing the work that was on his hand.Lin Lin told him through the interdimensional communication device that X71291’s body had been completed.

When Jiang Chen heard the news, he immediately took the s.p.a.ce elevator back to the surface, took a helicopter, flew to Coconut Island, where he used as a material transfer station, and then hurried to the apocalypse.

Lin Lin’s Inst.i.tute. In the lab.

When Jiang Chen pushed open the door and entered the room, Lin Lin stood beside the operating table and poked at the tablet in her hand. On the operating table in front of her, there was a pet.i.te girl. When Jiang Chen looked over, the girl was watching him too.

Although it was the first time Jiang Chen saw it in this form, from her eyes, he saw some familiar emotions. Although she certainly looked beautiful, for some odd reasons, a strange feeling lingered in his mind.

“We have met again…” The girl lying on the operating table nodded as she watched Jiang Chen walk towards her, “Mr. Jiang Chen.”

“X71291?”

“From your tone, I can sense your surprise.” X71291 said without much fluctuations in her tone.

Jiang Chen pulled Lin Lin aside, leaned closer to her ear, and whispered.

“Why did you make it… like this?”

“How else would I make it? Do you want me to make one… one of that?” Lin Lin took a step back and flushed as she gave Jiang Chen a vicious stare.

Maybe it was because the topic was too embarra.s.sing, or maybe it was the hot air blowing in her ear, Lin Lin felt her cheeks burn.

“I’m not talking about gender.” Jiang Chen showed a helpless smile.

It was not about gender. After all, when Jiang Chen originally saw X71291, it appeared as a virtual character “Tao Tingting” in front of him. It just that this pet.i.te appearance felt strange to him.

“Don’t worry, the program is genderless.” The girl’s mouth formed a stiff arc and then said in an incongruous tone, “I don’t need that troublesome thing at all, just give me a body that can integrate into human society.”

Looking at the quiet Jiang Chen, the girl tilted her head.

“Any questions?”

Jiang Chen shook his head and stared blankly at X71291 for a moment.

“Nothing, I’m just curious … Didn’t Lin Lin install an emoticon system for you?”

“Oh, that. I turned it off to save power.” The girl said expressionlessly and then looked at Lin Lin who had been tinkering with the tablet. “Did you figure it out yet? If you don’t know something, you can ask me. ”

“It’s almost done.” Lin Lin looked at the tablet in her hand reluctantly, and her fingers quickly tapped on the screen.

“This is?”

Jiang Chen looked at Lin Lin with questions in his eyes

“She used my lab to add some parts to herself,” Lin Lin’s cheeks turned a little red and her eyes drifted to the side as she embarra.s.sedly scratched her head. Then she muttered quietly, “but I can’t find where…”

“Parts?” Jiang Chen repeated in confusion.

“Oh, you’re looking for that,” the girl sighed. “You could have just told me.”

Lin Lin looked to the side without talking.

Obviously, she felt quite frustrated and disappointed that she lost to X71291 in her field of expertise.

“According to the original agreement, I will be responsible for protecting your safety. In order to be able to cope with various dangers, I have installed some convenient weapons on this body. This is very troublesome to explain. It is better to find a place where I can directly show you.”

Indeed.

If it is a weapon, there is no more intuitive explanation than “showing them”.

Following Lin Lin, Jiang Chen and X71291 came to the ground floor; a shooting range around hundreds of square meters. This range was previously used to test the power of electromagnetic pulse cannons, the damage of Gauss rifles, and the anti-strike capability of some hadron materials.

“In the laboratory’s sample library, there are Death Claws, Mud Crabs, and the most common zombies. Basically, you can find any mutant species that are around w.a.n.ghai City… Where do you want to start?” Lin Lin asked the expressionless girl.

“Let’s start with the Death Claw.”

“You sure?”
