Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Conversation with the Dragon Maiden
"I'm also very happy to meet you, Dragongirl of Brant," Zhou Yong said to Zhao Ling, "but I have a question. β
"You say," Zhao Ling asked, looking at Zhou Yong.
"Why are you in that lifeboat, and you are the only one on that lifeboat," Zhou Yong asked solemnly.
Zhao Ling turned her head sideways to look at Zhou Yong, her eyes and tone were a little sad, "What day do you remember ten years ago?" β
"Ten years ago?" Zhou Yong said and opened the projection calendar on his wrist, and Huang Jie on the side also opened the calendar, on December 25th, these numbers appeared in their eyes, "Is it?" β
"Brant's war with the Ground Guards," Zhao Ling said solemnly, "Bloody Christmas Eve." β
Zhou Yong choked up, and his mind recalled the picture he saw on the TV screen when he was a child: an air carrier came to the Frey agricultural satellite and had a nuclear explosion, and the huge vibration caused by the nuclear bomb explosion could even be felt by the earth, of course, it was just a childhood illusion in Zhou Yong's mind, it was just a shock in his heart, and the reason why he was shocked was very simple: his mother was participating in the friendly diplomacy between the earth and Brant as a diplomat at that time, visiting the Frey agricultural satellite.
In the depths of his heart, he remembered, remembered that before his mother boarded the ship, she had made an agreement with him that she would bring him a gift from there on Christmas night, but who would have expected that promise would be forever.
Huang Jie, who was eating melons on the side, was not unfamiliar with the word bloody Christmas Eve, but the day in his mind was the day when the Whartont regime fell into the hands of Adolf, and the day when Whartont's national disaster occurred.
"Don't give yourself so many scenes," Xie Qi on the side looked at the stunned Huang Jie and said, "Let's look at your ancestors first." β
"Hmm." Huang Jie nodded.
"And what are you here for?" Zhou Yong asked.
"I'm here on behalf of Brant to mourn the 280,000 innocent lives that have been lost." Zhao Ling said.
"Then you should have taken a battleship, right?" Zhou Yong asked, "Why are you in the rescue pod?" β
"I don't know this very well," Zhao Ling's eyes were a little confused, "I stayed here in the bedroom of the ship, preparing a eulogy for mourning and a thousand paper cranes, just when I folded to the last few thousand paper cranes, the corridor passed through the siren, and then an officer ran in, took my hand, and took me to the side of the rescue cabin, and didn't explain too much to me, just told me to go in and do a good job, at the moment of closing the door, I heard a message from outside," Zhao Ling began to imitate the man's voice, "It's not good, don't let her slip away... β¦ Then I felt like the rescue pod was coming out, and then almost a day later," she said, looking at Huang Jie, "and then I met you." β
"Huh?" Huang Jie looked at Xie Qi on the side and asked, "I should have a few days of memory of re-entering, right?" I remember when I was forced out by Tina, it was like when I got the survival pod. β
"Yes," Xie Qi nodded, "Let me tell you this, Tosthers will have a time lag every time you enter, but this time difference will not affect the development of the plot." β
"Oh," Huang Jie replied.
"When you got out, someone should have been following you," Zhou Yong asked, "When I rescued you, I didn't find you alone." β
"Oh, and someone else?"
"Yes," Zhou Yong nodded, "I found that there happened to be a *Eye Titan next to you in that cockpit." β
"Oh," Zhao Ling frowned, "I was in a confined space, I didn't know about it." β
"According to you, it seems that I made the right choice." Zhou Yong said against his chin.
"Oh, what's wrong?"
"I saw that the *eye titan's bad intentions, so I shot him," Zhou Yong explained.
"You should have another purpose, right?" Zhao Ling said.
"Yes," Zhou Yong said, "Both, the Archangel is right next to me, I'm afraid that if I let go of this body, I will be in trouble if I encounter a group of enemies." β
"Oh," Zhao Ling replied, then she turned back to look at the room, then walked to the bed on the side and planted it, "Hey, it's annoying, it's annoying," she snorted.
"That's right," Zhou Yong looked at Zhao Ling on the bed.
Zhao Ling turned her head sideways, her hair gently drooping on her fair cheeks, and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"When I brought you to the Archangel, the captain had you locked you in a room," Zhou Yong asked, "It stands to reason that you should have been in the room all the time, how could you be in the corridor?" β
"Oh," Zhao Ling pointed to the cabinet next to the door, Zhou Yong turned around and found a small ball on the cabinet, this ball had two eyes, and it also had a mouth, he picked it up and looked at it, turned around and asked, "What is this?" Just as he finished asking, the eyes of the small round ball in his hand suddenly lit up, Zhou Yong let go of it, and then there was something like ears on both sides of its head that fluttered in the air with it and flew in the direction of Zhao Ling.
"This ...... This is? Zhou Yong asked.
"Don't you know this?" Zhao Ling looked at Zhou Yong in front of him with some doubts, "This is a pet-type robot." β
"Pet robots?" Zhou Yong said, he materialized the armor on his arm, and then pressed a red button next to the pager at his wrist, "bang", a small door opened on the armor of his arm, and then "whoosh", a small quadcopter flew out, this small flying machine circled around Zhou Yong's body, and then stopped next to his shoulder.
After Zhou Yong virtualized the armor, he spread out his palm, and the small flying machine returned to his hand, and there was something like an eye on the front side of the aircraft, which was a small screen, and Zhou Yong smiled on the screen, "Is this what you said?" β
"What are you?" Zhao Ling walked over, and Xiao Yuanqiu also followed her.
"I think of the pet robot you said." Zhou Yong pointed to the flying machine in his hand and said, "This is the military's electronic dog, every soldier of the Ground Guard will be equipped with such an electronic dog, don't you know?" β
Zhao Ling shook her head, she obviously didn't understand what Zhou Yong was saying, Zhou Yong pointed to the aircraft in his hand, only to see that the four axes of the aircraft were deformed and drooping, and the small fan blades in the shaft rotated slightly and then retracted to the back, and the outer round frame protective ring opened "poof", and its tail ejected a metal piece, and then the aircraft became a small robot with four legs.
The little robot jumped from Zhou Yong's hand to the ground, and when it turned around and protruded to drive Zhou Yong, Zhao Ling realized that the small metal piece on its tail was a tail.
"This thing originally looked like it was on the ground, but I gave it a little bit of rectification," Zhou Yong said, pointing to the electronic dog, "He has now been changed by me to fly and dive, and I have also modified some programs for it, and added some small weapons to make it more convenient when assisting me in combat." β
"Huh?" Huang Jie turned his head to look at Xie Qi, "Why didn't I know there was this operation before." β
"You say you don't know, how do I know why you don't know?" Xie Qi replied.
"If I had known there was this, connected to the Titan weapon, I wouldn't have to risk it." Huang Jie sighed, and suddenly he thought of something interesting, "By the way, didn't you say that Tina guy is in Tos...... What......"
"Just talk about it."
"It's in this machine that I've experienced the ancestral memories of what Xiaoye is, right?" Huang Jie asked.
"Yes," Xie Qi said, nodding.
"Did she get a new ability from her ancestors?"
"Yes." Xie Qi continued to nod and replied.
"Then you said that this Zhao Ling and Tina have 95% similarities, of course, the remaining 5% is only personality," Huang Jie asked, "After she got the power of that ancestor Zhu Shitu, did you let her come over to experience Zhao Ling's memory, so that her ability in the future will not be messed up?" β
"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be messy," Xie Qi said, "let her do it like this, she will only superimpose abilities too much, plus Tina herself is a new human, just like you, her body can withstand a lot of foreign elements, like the woman you have seen...... No, that guy could kick a helicopter off with a single kick and never get unscathed. β
"Then I heard that why did her previous abilities degrade?"
"That's not degradation, that's evolution." Xie Qi explained, "Maybe she also told you, and we also said it, but it seems to me that I don't understand that the reason why Tina lost most of her previous abilities was because her current abilities were enough to protect herself, and her previous abilities were just when she was weak, and the genes in her body were just set up for her to protect herself." β
"Oh," Huang Jie understood a little, but was also a little curious, "Then she inherited the dragon girl's ability, what has become of her?" β
"It's hard for me to say this, and it's not convenient for me to tell you," Xie Qi said to Huang Jie with a smile, "It seems that now, maybe, she will become a good wife from a tsundere by then." β
"It's really amazing," Zhao Ling praised, "you remind me of me alone." β
"Who?"
"Well," Zhao Ling said against her lips, "Let me tell you this, my pet robot, in fact, was an ordinary robot when I first got it, but he added a lot of programs later, such as being able to hack your door lock." β
"Him?" Zhou Yong asked, "Who is it?" β
"Oh, sorry, I didn't say that." Zhao Ling explained, "The one I'm talking about is my fiancΓ©, Li Hao. β
Hearing these two words, Zhou Yong couldn't help but take two steps back, his facial expression a little nervous.
