In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone
#54 - Temporary partnership
It wasn't hard for Daoist Wang to see that these guys were very wary of Ling Tong.
However...
Weren't we supposed to have a peaceful chat?
This 'get out' is anything but peaceful.
Wang Jixuan continued to express his anxiety, adjusting his decorative black-rimmed glasses. Wisps of qi locked onto the spirit energy users inside the four armored vehicles, preparing to run away if a fight broke out.
He wasn't kidding; he was also very wary of Ling Tong's destructive power.
The armored vehicle in the center opened its back door, and two figures jumped out one after the other.
A few seconds later, Wang Jixuan saw the... particularly good figure that Zhou Zhengde and the enforcers had praised.
Qin Qin, the new head of the biology department, a researcher from the Thirteenth Institute's headquarters, and Professor Zhuang's top student.
Her attire was very ordinary: a pair of thick-soled sneakers, loose trousers, a high-necked long-sleeved shirt, and a white coat on top, looking like a doctor just out of a hospital ward on rounds.
These ordinary clothes couldn't hide her hot figure, especially the waist-to-hip ratio built up over years of fitness.
Her figure was hot, but her features were somewhat sweet. Her eyes were trying their best to express sharpness, but her round face was seriously holding her back, making her look even...
...a little cute.
Daoist Wang suddenly understood why Brother Zhou would praise this biology department head so highly.
In short, a high-spec Wei Na.
Of course, Doctor Wei's personality is very unique and full of charm.
— Daoist Wang's private supplement.
Qin Qin put her hands in the pockets of her white coat, raised an eyebrow, pursed her lips, and said a little helplessly:
"Lieutenant Colonel Ling Tong, I came here to have a good talk with you, not to be confrontational."
"There aren't enough of us for you to fight."
"But the energy of a Battle Maiden and the power of a spirit energy user shouldn't be used on this kind of internal friction, don't you think?"
The burly spirit energy user behind her stared at Ling Tong with his cold eyes.
Wang Jixuan judged that this was a telekinetic spirit energy user.
Ling Tong held the megaphone and said indifferently, "What do you want to talk about?"
"We'll improve efficiency!"
Qin Qin immediately leaned forward. The burly spirit energy user wanted to follow, but she turned her head and stopped him with a hand:
"No need, you go back first. I'm not aggressive. Lieutenant Colonel Ling Tong won't attack me proactively. If you come, things will easily get worse."
The burly man shrugged, took two steps back, and watched Ling Tong with his hands behind his back.
Qin Qin walked a few steps quickly to the side of the car.
She glanced at Wang Jixuan sitting in the passenger seat, and then showed a seemingly sincere but at least not annoying smile. After the car window was lowered, she extended her right hand to Ling Tong.
"Let's formally introduce ourselves," Qin Qin said. "My name is Qin Qin."
"Mm," Ling Tong didn't extend her hand in response.
Qin Qin looked at Wang Jixuan: "Young man, shouldn't you show some chivalry at this time and shake my hand to avoid embarrassing me?"
"Sorry."
Wang Jixuan replied, maintaining his nervousness:
"I'm the commander's logistics mechanic. A mechanic's hands are their entire value, and they can't easily come into contact with unknown organisms."
A hint of a smile appeared on Ling Tong's cold face.
"Alright."
Qin Qin leaned on the window frame and said with a smile:
"What happened in this fortress before was very interesting and very cruel. What I must explain is that Kong Nu has nothing to do with me. I was sent by headquarters to restore the Thirteenth Institute's reputation."
The Thirteenth Institute, reputation?
Wang Jixuan leaned back slightly.
Ling Tong: "And then?"
"The Thirteenth Institute is actually very complicated. Some researchers and spirit energy users have always felt that they are superior, the masters of the human world's future. The limit of spirit energy is to become a god...or something like that."
Qin Qin made a disgusted expression:
"But in reality, we all know that spirit energy is just a special energy we discovered on Blade Beasts. We're just trying to use spirit energy on the human body."
"The initial experiments created some, some monsters. Those monsters might be the end of this road."
"So my research direction is somewhat different from my teacher, Professor Zhuang. What I'm researching is... how to restore spirit energy users to normal after the war ends, after we achieve final victory, to prevent them from becoming new Blade Beasts cultivated by humans."
"If we can win."
She blinked slightly.
Ling Tong said, "I'm not interested in the research direction of spirit energy users. Please briefly state your purpose."
"Just to get to know you."
Qin Qin smiled:
"By the way, investigate that wild spirit energy user, Mu Liang."
Daoist Wang was a little annoyed by the word 'wild'.
But undeniably, because of Qin Qin's words just now, his dislike for this Qin Qin had diminished a lot.
Qin Qin was carefully observing Wang Jixuan's expression at the moment, but she quickly moved her gaze away in disappointment.
She couldn't see anything wrong;
This junior mechanic showed natural curiosity when he heard about spirit energy users.
Qin Qin asked again: "Lieutenant Colonel Ling Tong, are you familiar with Mu Liang?"
"Not familiar."
"He is a spirit energy user created by the military. Wouldn't you be familiar with him? Then what is your purpose here?"
"Vacation."
"Okay, it seems the lieutenant colonel still doesn't trust me enough. I just want to research Mu Liang," Qin Qin sighed. "Can we eat something together? I'm a very good cook."
"You've taken up too much of my time. Please leave."
Ling Tong raised her head slightly, staring into Qin Qin's eyes.
Qin Qin subconsciously took half a step back.
After all, she was just a researcher and it was difficult to resist the aura of a Battle Maiden who had fought Blade Beasts for several years.
Ling Tong lightly stepped on the accelerator, seemingly about to crash into the three armored vehicles.
The burly spirit energy user narrowed his eyes slightly and took a step forward.
Wang Jixuan stretched out his left hand. As long as the other party released the mental shock of the telekinetic spirit energy user, he could instantly throw out the 'Soul Suppressing Talisman' and stick it to Ling Tong's waist.
Last time Zheng Shiduo ambushed him once, so Daoist Wang would naturally take some targeted precautions.
Suddenly, Ling Tong naturally raised her left mechanical arm and placed it on the car frame, her palm pointing at the empty armored vehicle in the front left.
The burly telekinetic spirit energy user shouted: "Lieutenant Colonel Ling Tong! You can't leave! Please cooperate..."
Buzz—
Whoosh!
Ling Tong's left mechanical arm vibrated slightly, and a purple laser emitted from her palm. A purple light ball burst out!
The hood of the armored vehicle exploded with a bang, and the people standing in front scattered to avoid it. Two people were directly injured.
The shouting of the burly telekinetic spirit energy user stopped abruptly, and his body froze in place.
Ling Tong aimed her left hand at the armored vehicle directly in front, and an electronic female voice came from the mechanical arm:
"Annihilation Cannon Level One, ready."
The group instantly fell into chaos.
"Reverse! Reverse quickly!"
The armored vehicle in the middle bumped forward twice and immediately retreated quickly, reversing and turning left outside the tunnel entrance. The burly spirit energy user glared fiercely at Ling Tong and ducked to the side.
Ling Tong drove the small terrain vehicle forward at a constant speed, retracted her left arm, her ponytail didn't even shake, and stepped on the gas pedal, leaving in a cloud of dust.
Tunnel entrance.
The burly man cursed. Qin Qin put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and walked back with a helpless expression.
"Didn't we agree that I would negotiate?"
The burly spirit energy user said angrily: "Has she always been so willful and reckless?!"
"Please, she's a Battle Maiden. There are only twenty-five in the entire D5 war zone."
Qin Qin raised her hand and rubbed her forehead:
"Now it's good. We're already restricted everywhere in this fortress. The only possible breakthrough was strangled by your threatening sentence."
"Did I threaten her?"
The burly spirit energy user looked annoyed:
"I was just a little blunt! That's how I talk!"
"She was just warning us just now. This lowest energy configuration annihilation cannon isn't even a warm-up for her."
Qin Qin narrowed her eyes slightly, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth:
"But this also confirms that Ling Tong and that Mu Liang should be very familiar."
"Otherwise, she wouldn't have stopped at all. According to our previous analysis of her personality, she would have blasted open a passage from the beginning."
"The reason she chose to stop was actually to listen to what we had to say. This is a habitual way of thinking when subconsciously thinking. She wanted to know how much information we had about Mu Liang."
"That Wang Zheng next to her, did you notice him?"
"I noticed him."
"Keep an eye on him, watch him non-stop for twenty-four hours. You're allowed to use control-type skills to control some miners and soldiers, but these puppets must keep their distance from Ling Tong. She can detect them."
Qin Qin pursed her lips slightly and quickly instructed:
"Remember, if you want to control someone, handle it cleanly after the control is over. Don't leave any evidence behind."
"We must try to restore the Thirteenth Institute's reputation in the eyes of most people in this fortress."
"Okay, work is over today, off work... I have to think of a way to get a date with Team Leader Zhou. He has such a great body."
"Researcher Qin Qin, I must remind you that Zhou Zhengde is the grandson of that demon commander-in-chief."
"It's just a date, I'm not going to marry him," Qin Qin blinked her left eye, "Of course, if I could marry him, maybe I could get a associate professorship before I'm thirty."
A few traces of ruthlessness flashed in the burly spirit energy user's eyes: "Can I use my own way? Mess with that Wang Zheng."
"Be careful not to expose yourself."
Qin Qin got into the armored vehicle, and didn't forget to stick her head out and say:
"Carry a few Molotov cocktails with you. If you're discovered and injured by Ling Tong, then kill yourself, and then I'll announce to the public that you're a puppet controlled by a mimic Blade Beast."
"It's already very difficult for me to carry out my work, don't add extra burden to me, okay?"
"Okay, I'll try my best."
"Let sister touch some muscles, they feel really good."
Qin Qin's hand reached out of the car window and groped the strong man's pectoral muscles, then she chuckled and told the armored vehicle to accelerate.
… …
After passing through the tunnel entrance, Ling Tong and Wang Jixuan arrived at a camp in a mountain hollow.
Here, three sides were surrounded by low mountains, and on the mountains could be seen artillery positions, missile launchers, and firepower bunkers every hundred meters.
The buildings in the camp were somewhat messy. At the edge, a dozen mine entrances could be seen, with men and women in miner's clothes going in and out.
These miners should be from the forty-seventh and eighth underground levels of the fortress.
The miners' activity area was only at the edge of the camp, in their exclusive dormitory area, which was also dotted with a dozen dirty police robots.
Wang Jixuan had seen in the mechanic's textbook that autonomous robots were once an important combat force for humans to counter the Blade Beasts. Later, as the Blade Beasts evolved 'Magnetic Back Individuals', the control network of the robots repeatedly had problems, and even autonomous robots appeared to be randomly firing at friendly forces on the battlefield.
A large number of autonomous robots were directly retired from the front lines, and now, as police products, they do some dirty and tiring work in the outer expansion areas on the edge of this kind of fortress.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and the sunlight was hidden behind the southwest hillside. Some buildings in the camp had already lit up.
Most of the buildings here were iron sheet houses or containers, where mostly engineers stationed here and their families lived.
Not counting the military camp here, there were probably more than three thousand residents and miners.
Ling Tong drove straight to the southwest corner of the camp, where seven or eight large containers were stacked together, and the inside had been opened up.
The corners of this large container building were equipped with surveillance cameras and semi-automatic weapons, indicating that the items inside were of extraordinary value.
Getting closer, Wang Jixuan could also see the crooked light strip hanging on the front door.
【Ling Tong Ji Exclusive Supply Station】.
Ling Tong obviously relaxed a little, and said softly: "The conditions here are a bit difficult, because we only live here for a while, so it's not too tidy... Inside are three engineers who came with me from the front line. They are a family and do daily maintenance and supply for me. They are all excellent technicians... I will introduce you later."
"Okay."
Wang Jixuan was about to get out of the car to pick up his luggage, but Ling Tong had already quickly picked up his suitcase.
Daoist Wang immediately said: "Let me do it."
"It doesn't matter, it's not a combat state."
Ling Tong said softly:
"The third reason I invited you to be my mechanic is your high load-bearing capacity, which can transport emergency supplies to me in combat."
"There will be times when you carry heavy objects in the future."
"Don't you need the key for the car?"
"It's a military vehicle, who would steal it here?"
Ling Tong approached the alloy door dug out of the middle of the outermost large container. The corner cameras rotated and scanned automatically, and the alloy door quickly opened.
Her previous statement of 'not too tidy' was obviously modest.
The space, three meters deep and twelve meters long, was brightly lit, filled with various instruments and fifteen black alloy boxes. Everything was well-organized, and various tools were hung on both sides of the wall, categorized and neatly arranged.
This is simply the ideal workspace for a senior mechanic.
Behind this large container is the main body of the supply station, a two-story space stacked with six containers.
"Come this way, they are all waiting to meet you."
Ling Tong carried his suitcase and stood in front of the opened door.
She tilted her head slightly, seeming a little embarrassed to speak, but still said softly:
"Welcome to my team."
Daoist Wang smiled and stepped forward.
