“Ah, that could be considered if we found the right sized lead ring to put on her wrist. That should be sufficient to block off transmissions,” Yin He replied to Zhang ShengLi.

“Let’s wait until that helicopter aircraft leaves before we head back to the laboratory to search for any lead ring or similar object that could interfere with transmissions,” Liu Gan instructed.

“Even though it is a five hour time frame before sending out the signal, this body actually requires a lot of energy to sustain. As of right now, I have large quantities of polymerized photons within the body, but this energy would be used up eventually without a way of replenishing it.”

“I was unable to open up the outer body armor of the two unconscious warriors and take away their polymerized photons. I only have two vials as backup. If I don’t partake in battle, I can last two months. If I keep using my laser, that would cut through my energy supply. So if I don’t find a sufficient method to replenish my reserves, then I will face an energy crisis again,” Yin He continued.

Whenever these armored warriors were executing their missions, especially after combat, it would be scheduled to return to the mothership to receive more polymerized photons to replenish their energy. It was absolutely certain that Yin He wouldn’t be able to return to the mothership to refill her energy, so her fuel was a major concern.

Even though the secret laboratory offered high voltage electrical plasma to replenish the nanobots, it could also feed her like an appetizer. The rate at which her body spent energy was higher than the rate of replenishment from plasma. So even with more electrical plasma, it was far less useful with her newly upgraded body.

“What is the energy consumption rate for hand-to-hand combat?” Liu Gan frowned.

“Hand-to-hand combat consumes just as much as regular operations,” Yin He calculated.

“Well unless it is absolutely necessary, don’t use the laser in combat. For the enemies that we encounter day-to-day, hand-to-hand would be more than enough,” Liu Gan instructed Yin He.

“There is one more thing. With the Spatialized Armor configuration, my defense is close to impenetrable. If I was under constant fire, I can last up to three to four days,” Yin He continued.

“Ah… Impenetrable comes at a cost.” Liu Gan shook his head. Seems like he must resolve the energy issue for Yin He, and fast too. Otherwise, she would be limited in every battle with the constant worry of expending too much energy.

“Elder Liu, I was able to obtain some useful intel from the soldiers before. It might be useful to you,” Zhang ShengLi started to chime in after Liu Gan was done talking.

“What intel?” Liu Gan’s curiosity was piqued.

“I asked them where they obtained their weapons. Under the threat of dying, they finally told me their secret. The weapons were looted from an amphibious airship docked at Green Pao Bay… the name of that airship is Serenity. That is their current base and there are around thirty more soldiers waiting in there with ample supply of ammunitions and food,” Zhang ShengLi explained to Liu Gan.

“Serenity?” Liu Gan shook his head in disbelief. From NinJing City he had headed all the way south, all for this very same airship that was just mentioned. Due to constant obstacles, and Kingler’s appearance sidetracking him, he hadn’t been able to head to Green Pao Bay.
