Chapter 207: Flesh and Blood
27.2 per cent for option I, 63.6 per cent for option two and 9.1 per cent for option three.

[Option 2]
【Built-in central processing unit】
Description: A small processing chip was inserted into Wei Hao's brain to assist brain work.
Disadvantages: It is easy to shut down due to electromagnetic pulse interference.
……
The conclusion is that it is better to keep the original brain structure.
"EMP or something...... There are disadvantages in the choice of weapons, and there is also the need to be cautious and careful in fighting EMP bombs......" Zheng Zhuo made a quick decision, "but in general, the hidden danger is not so big. ”
Although there are many problems with this retrofit, it seems to have the least hidden dangers.
Perhaps, in the universe, the unknown hidden danger is the most terrible enemy.
"Built-in central processing unit."
Zheng Zhuo connected to the maintenance department to give instructions.
A "sizzling" sound can be heard from the broken façade. Sparks flew and the air filtration indicator showed a mixture of formaldehyde and flammable hydrocarbons.
It's not so much a salvage as it's a mechanical repair.
"No wonder it's called the maintenance department."
Zheng Zhuo stared at the [rescued] red light for a while.
He saw it turn green.
Immediately after, there was a soft sound. The pneumatic door opened.
A figure swayed, emerged from the air-lock, and walked over to the power armor of the buffer room.
Zheng Zhuo saw his face.
Zheng Zhuo must be glad that he had just seen his photo. Because, if he hadn't looked at it just now, he might never have been able to recognize him in reality again.
The probe on the power armor popped up data, showing that the height, weight, DNA type, brainwave type and other indicators of the man in front of him were all in line with the human non-commissioned officer named "Wei Hao", but in Zheng Zhuo's eyes, what was there was just a modified human who had replaced most of his skin with a machine.
His facial muscles were completely necrotic and were replaced with artificial integrated muscles. The eyeball was also removed due to ischemia and hypothermia, and was replaced with a multi-sensitive light unit. His skull was dismantled entirely, calcified and mixed with metal, reshaped into a carbide arc. His outstretched hands were closed one by one, and his movements were very smooth...... It can even be said that it is too smooth. The non-stagnant movement is not something that a human hand with a hemispherical joint can do.
Wei Hao raised his head. Zheng Zhuo saw his red light component lock onto himself.
Immediately afterward, there was a rustling sound in the communication.
"[ID: AL0T-59] Request access [ID: AL0T-272]."
Zheng Zhuo was stunned for a moment before he realized that [ID: AL0T-272] was himself.
"Allow access."
There was another rustle. Zheng Zhuo saw Wei Hao climbing into his power armor, and at the same time, the communication was connected.
"I'm the non-commissioned officer of the 187th Regiment of the Chief Division, AL0T-59, Wei Hao."
The other party reported his home.
"[Designation: AL0T-272], Legionnaire, Zheng Zhuo. The access record from the maintenance department shows that you saved me. ”
Wei Hao used the phrase "saved me". This made Zheng Zhuo's heart a little wider.
He was actually a little worried that Wei Hao would not be able to accept it after he found out that he had been transformed into a cyborg. That would be a big obstacle to his subsequent cooperation with Wei Hao.
"Yes. Sir. ”
Wei Hao's military rank was higher than Zheng Zhuo's. He said according to the built-in records of the power armor.
"Digitize the data of your camera for 1 star hour and give it to me."
Wei Hao gave simple and direct instructions.
His body had been remodeled so much, but he still accepted the fact at such a fast pace. Is it because he's a non-commissioned officer? Or is every soldier here trained in what happens after a serious injury and is already mentally prepared?
Just as Zheng Zhuo was thinking about these things, Wei Hao put on the power armor. With the power armor in contact, he opened the door of the buffer room and floated out.
The indicator of the pneumatic door popped out inside the helmet, interrupting Zheng Zhuo's divergent thinking. He settled down and transmitted the camera data according to the task requirements sent by Wei Hao.
After the Power Armor is fully restarted, the helmet is opaque black. Zheng Zhuo couldn't see the face that was completely mechanized. He could only judge that the other party was making eye movements based on the slight nodding and shaking of his head from time to time.
After a moment, Wei Hao stopped. He waved his hand.
“…… Well, I understand. I am still in the rejection and adaptation period of my new body, and you will help me more. ”
He jumped past Zheng Zhuo and opened the propulsion vent behind the armor.
"We go to the highlands. Follow me. We're going to return to the nearest two-way landing capsule. ”
Zheng Zhuo followed him and bounced off the surface.
……
The two tried to climb the steep slope behind the relay station. This is not a very difficult job for the power armor, however, Wei Hao's physical condition has caused slow progress.
Wei Hao had a clear understanding of his own state. The "multi-support" he is talking about is indeed multifaceted. During the adaptation period, his operating accuracy deteriorated dramatically, and he climbed several times to a position close to the top of the slope and fell again.
This is not the way, Zheng Zhuo pulled out a cable at the relay station. He jumped to the top of the slope first, nailed the cable to the slope with a steel bar, and then let Wei Hao drag him up.
"You're a good soldier."
Wei Hao said, accepting Zheng Zhuo's help.
"It's okay."
Zheng Zhuo helped him turn around.
The vastness of the universe and the devastation of the earth unfolded before their eyes.
There was war everywhere. In the universe, the light of explosions and the disintegration of ships never stop. On the ground, all kinds of energy weapons and mass weapons roared to change the terrain and raise huge amounts of dust.
"Bands, bands."
Wei Hao began to ask the communication equipment in the power armor to search for any nearby signal sources.
Zheng Zhuo shared his own communication antenna. This way, they can search faster.
A few star-seconds later, information poured in.
Needless to say, Wei Hao, who has a built-in central processing unit, Zheng Zhuo, who has the [Efficient Processing] ability, also has an acceptance speed that exceeds the ordinary number of times.
Intelligence on all nearby personnel, all electronic devices, all base stations, and all landing silos is being coordinated. The real-time battle began to unfold before the eyes of the two.
Wei Hao's condition was too bad, and Zheng Zhuo's bullets were about to run out. They had to choose a suitable path and first return to the divisional flagship above to rest.
Soon, the results of the analysis came in. On the topographic map, several two-way landing capsules are still in use.
They can return to the flagship through this landing capsule.
The helmets of the two project a simulated route on a topographic map of the virtual battlefield.
The first route is to make an arc along the hillside. The route passes through the previous zone of fierce warfare.
It's full of the bodies of the dead. Walking from here, you may be able to find some weapons.
The second road passes through ridges and ridges.
This is where the previous Guild Wars supply support passed, with a number of discarded one-off vehicles.
Their mission as vehicles has come to an end. But for Wei Hao, who was already semi-mechanized, there might be some enhancement chips that could be removed from these vehicles that could be used by him.
The third route is straight ahead.
This is now the fierce battle zone, where many Zerg are besieging the last evacuated troops of humanity.
From here, you'll be greeted by a fierce battle. However, if you can return from here smoothly, you can get merit. Both Zheng Zhuo and Wei Hao will thus increase their prestige in the Legion.
As your reputation increases, you may be able to command some missions directly. If you have a lot of promotion, you may directly command important tasks.
