Chapter 86: Time is Ticking
If any change to Yin He’s system would cause her to suddenly attack him, then that would be a pity.
After killing the tentacle colossal zombie, Liu Gan returned underground to search around. Unfortunately, Liu Gan wasn’t able to find any high-technological machinery that would have any use in the apocalyptic world. Even if there had been any, he couldn’t easily transport them out of there. This time, his scouting had no profitable outcome.
On top of that, The Trembling World had a serious lockdown on guns. Other than the player’s starter hand grenade, Liu Gan hadn’t been able to find any deadly weapons, like a gun. However, Liu Gan was in possession of a gun, which Jiang JinYuan had pulled from the workstation nearby, and it was used to knock out Yin He.
Meanwhile, Yin He had started disassembling spare parts from a pile. After tidying up, she bundled them up into a small backpack that she wore on her back. According to her, these components were good backup items for fixing her body.
“Once you receive a magnetic attack, you faint. This type of weakness is quite obvious…” Liu Gan told Yin He as he held up the electromagnetic gun, pointing it at her. He was hinting that other people would take advantage of that knowledge and use it against her, and she would automatically lose all her combat prowess.
“That is because the gun is fine tuned to a set frequency that will cause my nanomites to become temporarily disabled within my body. The fine tuned frequency is like a password. Only when the set frequency reaches the nanomites will it make me faint. Other people don’t know this set frequency, so even if they fired electromagnetic attacks, it wouldn’t affect me,” Yin He explained the process to Liu Gan.
“If it’s like that, then there’s no need to worry.” Liu Gan nodded. Now that he had found a beautiful bodyguard and his body had no apparent weakness, he had no more worries. When he went to sleep, they could trade off standing guard, so he no longer had to worry about trivial matters like someone sneaking up on them.
“You’re a robot, do you need to sleep at night?” Liu Gan asked Yin He, thinking about the issue of standing guard at night.
“I require rest only if one of my body parts which contain machinery gets injured, so that my body’s nanomites in the injured parts can regenerate. Other than that, I don’t need to rest,” Yin He explained to Liu Gan.
“Did you get injured when the two of us were fighting?” Liu Gan asked Yin He.
“As long as my body doesn’t have more than ten injuries, they won’t interfere with movements. The nanomites within me start regeneration right away. Right now, there’s only an hour left until I am completely repaired.” Yin He nodded.
“Oh? So according to what you said, generally you don’t need to go to sleep? And our conversation is actually restful for your system?” Liu Gan was trying to gauge the extent of the damage to Yin He’s system..
“Yes.”
“Good, good.” Liu Gan nodded, very satisfied. Now he wouldn’t even have to get up to stand on guard, and he could even have a full night’s rest. During these apocalyptic times, besides the basic necessities – food and water – it was very important to have a good sleep.
…
By the time Liu Gan and Yin He had arrived back to the ground floor, the building’s backup energy had stopped generating electricity. Outside, the sky had darkened, and a torrential downpour was endlessly beating against the windows.
