The system doesn't know why, and thinks it's very likely that the cleaner that Lin Ling said and it understands are two meanings.

The weirdness of Lin Ling shows this.

It had never seen anyone tear off their arms like Lin Ling, nor had they seen anyone still jumping alive after being so fatally wounded.

The system followed behind Lin Ling, looking at the gauze on her back, which had already been dyed black, and it couldn't even tell if it was blood or ...... What other substances.

It sighed and took the bandages and gauze out of the system warehouse, "Host, it's time for you to change your dressing. 】

At this time, the figure walking in front of him stopped slightly.

Lin Ling turned her head, her black hair sliding down her shoulders, and her slanted side face was slightly towards the system.

But for some reason, the system always felt that the angle at which Lin Ling turned her head was a little wrong, and she didn't know if it was an illusion.

"Thank you." The sound from the neck made Lin Ling suddenly realize that she seemed to be using too much force, so she could only hold her neck with one hand, and with a slight force, she put the originally loose parts back into place, "Can you scan that there are still monsters around here?"

[Not at the moment.] 】

The small map is projected in the air, with no notes other than the green cue and pointing arrows.

Insects that once hid more than ten meters long on the ground, strange snakes with colorful patterns crawling among the grass, and butterflies with human faces flying among the trees all turned into pieces under Lin Ling's almost crazy provocation.

The impact of the bone spear not only caused great damage to these monsters, but also caused irreparable holes in the ground beneath their feet.

This is evidenced by the pothole-ridden ground.

However, the towering trees remained unharmed.

Wiping away a few drops of unintentional flesh foam on her face, Lin Ling crossed her legs on the stake, took the items handed by the system, untied the bandage, and began to change into new medicines.

The system also turned its back very naturally.

There was a fist-sized bloody hole in the exposed back, and it wasn't blood that came out when the gauze was unraveled, but some black slime that couldn't say an adjective.

Like a substance called petroleum.

"What's wrong?" After bandaging the wound, Lin Ling got up, and when she turned her head, she saw the system looking at her in a daze.

[Nothing.] The system shook its head, putting aside the idea in his mind about whether Lin Ling's blood was flammable oil or not, and spread out the route that he had originally planned, [Considering that you want to collect virus spores, I suggest that it is best to start from the cave here, there are a lot of red reactions in it. 】

A map of data particles appears in the air, and the curving route shows the location of the marker, highlighted in red by the dense red dots at the nearest cave, indicating danger.

After knowing Lin Ling's particularity, the system didn't care if it was too dangerous.

Lin Ling tilted her head sideways, her eyes looked at every inch of the map, slightly satisfied, "Then let's go." ”

Her right hand was still in a plaster cast, but she still didn't have much to worry about.

Holding the system in her arms with her free hand, Lin Ling jumped between the trees and set off in the direction of the cave.

She stepped on the thick branches, jumped over the tiny branches that crisscrossed the air, and returned to her original speed.

The strong wind speed blew on the system's face, making it question Lin Ling's current speed again.

Is there really no traffic accident if this continues?

It was a little hard to imagine the scene of Lin Ling crashing into the trunk of a tree with her flesh, and that scene would definitely put it down again.

Luckily, in the midst of its whims, the cave had arrived.

Lin Ling fell lightly from the treetops without making a single noise.

It's just that in a trance, the system seems to hear some metal friction sounds, and when you look left and right and can't find the source of the sound, you can only blame it on the illusion caused by multiple outages.

Lin Ling stood in the middle of the road, pulling her long, somewhat messy hair behind her shoulders and surveying her surroundings.

It was a relatively wide area, with green vegetation growing not far away, and gray sand and gravel covering the feet.

There was a dark hole in front of the sand, and the dim environment could not even be illuminated by sunlight.

There are some strange fluorescent glows in the cave, and it is initially believed that they are fluorescent plants that grow on the rock face.

In addition to these, Lin Ling also heard the sound of flowing water, which seemed to be not far away.

Lin Ling suddenly wanted to wipe her body and change her clothes by the way.

The clumps of congealed clothes made her quite uncomfortable.

She followed the direction of the sound, and easily found a small river.

After a short test of the water quality without problems, Lin Ling tied her long hair back and asked the system, "Do you want to wash the system?" ”

Because of the experience of the past two days, the system's body has been smeared into black and brown by Lin Ling, and the original white and blue metallic color is completely covered and cannot be seen as it is.

[Huh? Me? Forget it. Slightly stunned, the system sensed the blood clot on its body that was about to crumble, but when it thought about the host's privacy, it dispelled its thoughts.

Although it was strange why the system was so entangled in this point, Lin Ling did not take off her clothes, leaving only gauze wrapped around her body.

Taking out the towel from the shadow and dipping it in water, she wiped the blood off her body little by little.

"Aren't you really going to wash the system together?" Lin Ling took off the blood scar that had solidified on her arm and wiped the marks off with a towel, "It might be more comfortable to wash it, and I'm afraid it's not comfortable for you to be covered in blood and mud like this now, right?" ”

[No, I'll forget it, anyway, I'll clean it automatically when the task is done.] The system turned its back to Lin Ling and did not look back, looking at the trees in the distance with a pair of diamond-shaped eyes.

It thought about it, and still planned to remind Lin Ling to hurry up, [Host, you'd better hurry, otherwise we may not be able to cross the cave at night. 】

It's not clear what system is in the cave, but it's certainly dangerous.

If you add one more night, I am afraid that the risk factor will increase significantly.

"So you better wash it, you might as well attract monsters covered in blood." As the system thought about it, a wet finger touched the surface of its skin, and the metal-to-metal friction brought the system back to its senses.

As soon as it turned its head, what caught its eye was Lin Ling, who was wearing only a few bandages on her upper body and only a pair of hot pants on her lower body, was standing in front of it with a smile.

[Ahhh Why don't you wear clothes, host! For a while, the line of sight was even panicked and there was nowhere to place, and the system jumped out of more than ten centimeters at once, and the round body continued to emerge with chaotic data symbols, and the whole thread fell into chaos.

“？” Lin Ling still maintained the posture of raising her hand, and was puzzled for a long time before she suddenly reacted, "System, you ...... It can't be a male??? ”

Lin Ling was a little surprised that the system actually had a gender.

[Male ghost! I don't have a gender at all, okay! But you can't ...... put your clothes on."

The system looked at Lin Ling with a large area of snow white exposed, and that frank look made it speechless.

Realizing that his gaze was wrong, the system quickly turned his gaze to the side.

However, in the next second, what it saw made it can't help but look at Lin Ling again.

On that slender body, a slender silver-white metal tube embedded in the flesh was buried under Lin Ling's neck, and finally hidden in the flesh.

And there was no flesh and blood at Lin Ling's collarbone, but instead metal like a collarbone occupied the place.

The system also noticed that Linling's ribs were somewhat dented, and the traces of broken ribs were clearly visible.

It looked at Lin Ling with questions, not understanding what was going on with Lin Ling's body.

Noticing the system's eyes, Lin Ling also moved her gaze to her chest, roughly understanding the system's doubts, "This is the transformation that my teammates made for me, aiming to make the main torso withstand more pressure." ”

She spun around, revealing a metallic spine on her back that protruded from her neck and spread all the way to her waist and into the flesh.

Suddenly, the system had the illusion that it was looking at a transformed person.

"I removed the bones of my arms and the skull, and replaced the bones of the rest of my body with metal, so that the kinetic energy would be stronger." Not noticing the system's blank eyes, Lin Ling continued to explain.

【Host...... So may I ask a question? The system stared at the metal pipe between Lin Ling's neck, suspecting that it was probably not as simple as a metal pipe at all, [When you replaced, how did you replace it? 】

"Of course, it's common sense to pull out the original bones first and then put in the metal bones, right?" Lin Ling tapped her collarbone, looking like she took it for granted, and felt extremely strange about the system's knowingly questioning behavior.

【……】

The system almost went down for the fourth time due to the scrambled wiring, but it calmly handled its own threads and understood a little more.

Never talk to non-humans about common sense.

"Okay, let's not talk so much, let's take a bath." Lin Ling smiled and stretched out her hand.

Seeing Lin Ling's appearance, the system came back from her thoughts and hurriedly wanted to dodge, but she was still hugged by Lin Ling with one arm and pressed on her leg to wipe it.

The wet towel dipped in water wiped the blood stains off the system, and one piece after another fell into the small river, gradually turning into a layer of blood and ash and flowing down the river.

There are many lines on the metal ball body of the system, and a lot of dirt is condensed in it and cannot be easily wiped off.

But after thinking that they would get along for a long time in the future, Lin Ling felt that she was very patient, and it was not a big deal to spend a little more effort.

After several rounds of cleaning, the system looked at its own projection on the surface of the water, and the smooth sphere was even cleaner than it was at the beginning.

"Alright, it's washed, it's time to go." After some cleaning, Lin Ling felt that her mood was much more relaxed, and she turned around and walked towards the cave.

[Wait!] The system turned around with a look of horror, "You put on your clothes! 】
