The competition between Tom and Pan Mingda is seen by many as a test of Tom's true strength as a paratrooper, but for Tom, it is a test of the extreme pressure of his "worker ant" armor.
He made significant improvements to the Type 1 armor of the Jade Rabbit, in addition to the parts provided by the shelter's R&D department, he also made some additions and deletions himself, in order to fit his combat style. In order to bear the same lineage as the male ant, he named it "Worker Ant".
The worker ants also used coolant, allowing Tom to shorten the cooldown time between speed and strength modes, from three seconds to one second. And other improvements and optimizations have also achieved good results, and the performance when worn in battle is on par with the industrial technology crystallized Jade Rabbit III armor in terms of performance.
This competition with other Awakened Armors showcased the various effects of worker ants and provided Tom with a basis for further adjustments.
In the following time, Tom buried his head in the workshop, busy going in and out. In addition to the armor of male ants and worker ants, Tom also made adjustments to the armor assigned to him, the Jade Rabbit Type 3 No.1 armor.
Because Ouyang Haotian himself is a speed awakener, his running speed seems to be among the top three in the entire Eighth Courtyard, but he has some shortcomings in hand to hand combat and firearm combat. On the 5th, I specifically watched his display and said that I would officially recruit him into the psychic team once the Tianlong returned from its expedition.
So, Tom removed some of the protection from this Jade Rabbit Type III armor. In addition to reducing the burden of running, he also made some changes to its appearance, reducing the wind resistance encountered by the armor during high-speed running.
In addition to the standard firearm mounting in the shelter, the weapon also has a spike for piercing, and an electronic ignition device has been made according to the idea of armor at Old Street No.1, hanging on the leg. Utilize the advantage of speed to strike while stimulating high current, and unleash a paralyzing attack on the target.
Finally, on October 13th, the assembly base gathered more people and convoys, among which three heavy trucks were the most eye-catching, carrying the main body of the Tianlong.
Due to the heavy weight of the Tianlong, it can only be disassembled and loaded by quantity trucks before being transported to the industrial station. After arriving at the subway station, it is assembled on site onto the railway tracks. And the optimization of this assembly process is also one of the key research projects of the Tianlong project team.
After all, in the gloomy and cold underground station, one still has to face potential biological attacks at any time, and the faster the assembly is completed, the safer it is for the team.
This is also one of the reasons why Tom and others went to the industrial station first last time, striving to eliminate the threat of mutated organisms there as much as possible.
The Tianlong program, which was originally classified as highly confidential, has now been fully disclosed. Many people who are allowed to visit are wearing identification tags on their chests. They either come to see them off, conduct interviews, or watch the excitement. The senior management of the shelter wants to convey an encouraging message to the survivors, telling them that the shelter has all the abilities to expand its exploration range to the entire city of Morikawa. More survivors scattered throughout the city will be rescued, and more supplies will be collected to ensure the survival and continuation of this 100000 population.
The team on this trip can be described as numerous, with 325 security department soldiers, 50 soldiers from the special investigation department, 30 foreign mercenary groups, and 132 members from the supernatural team.
However, most people are temporarily stationed at subway stations to ensure the smooth assembly of the Tianlong. Once the Tianlong is loaded and embarks on an expedition, most people will still return to the shelter. Only a small number of people will take the Tianlong to explore the destination of Jinrui Hotel.
At the beginning of this trip, there was no grand external publicity, and all publicity had to wait until the departure of the Tianlong before it could be launched.
As the highest leader of the shelter, Shen Jiayi naturally had to personally attend. She, who doesn't like lengthy speeches, is not interested in emphasizing things that everyone knows. Her speech this time is still brief: "The Tianlong will be a crucial step for the survival and development of our shelter. Good luck to you!"
Subsequently, some congratulatory speeches from others were also constrained by her to be completed within a short period of time.
To everyone's surprise, Yang Caishan, who starred in popular TV dramas before the micro disaster, also appeared. At this moment, she is bright and charming. As soon as she appeared on the stage, the crowd cheered in unison. It was obvious that even among the soldiers in the Security Department, her popularity was very high. Even many people roast that her acting skills were a little bad, and the content of the TV series was bloody, it still did not hinder the popularity of the whole mainstream voice.
Shen Jiayi seems to have intentionally encouraged these former celebrities to inspire the survivors in the shelter, and Yang Caishan's magnificent appearance at this time represents her becoming the image spokesperson of the shelter.
Since the incident with Yuan Feixing, Tom has never seen her again. Afterwards, it was heard that she had been protected by Shen Jiayi, and Bai Tingting had also assured him of this, so he did not pay any further attention. Unexpectedly, when we met again, she had already regained her former starlight.
People were cheering for her, while Tom was busy conducting a final inspection of his precious armor to ensure that he wouldn't fall off the chain while waiting outside.
After pulling Fan Jie to check for a while, he suddenly shouted excitedly, "Brother An, look!"
Tom looked up and realized that Yang Caishan had come to offer condolences.
The awakened ones gathered together to greet her, and for a moment she was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. However, Tom saw her looking at him, so he stood up and greeted her with a smile. As a result, Yang Caishan's eyes did not convey any emotion to him, as if she didn't know Tom. She greeted the others in a circle and left, which made Ouyang Haotian very unhappy.
"Cut, now that I've turned over, I'm getting really excited... Hmph."
Tom smiled nonchalantly and said, "We're not originally in the same world. Hurry up, put on your armor, and we'll be leaving soon."
Wearing armor, the convoy inspected its vehicles, supplies, weapons, and ammunition, and then drove out of the assembly base in a grand manner, heading straight towards the entrance to the outside.
And just outside the assembly base, in a room on the third floor of a building, Wen Yiku, who had been searched by Nei Anke for over a month, was eagerly looking out the window at the distant convoy.
Behind her stood a woman in her fifties. Wearing a solemn black suit and short skirt, she looked at Wen Yikui's back with a nervous expression on her face. This woman is none other than Ni Peiyun, a former state-owned enterprise executive who used to work as a servant in Yuan Feixing's home.
Now, due to resolving the relocation issue of the final resettlement area for the shelter, Shen Jiayi has appreciated her as the deputy manager of the commercial and sales department of the shelter.
"What a pity! That Shen Jiayi refused to go out with her, but it's okay. These people are going to the Jinrui Hotel now and we guarantee to get a big surprise, hehe."
Ni Peiyun didn't know how to answer the conversation. The woman in front of her put a lot of pressure on her. In addition to the mysterious background of the other person, there was also the legendary ability of mutated talents - to use abilities without crystals.
She heard that these mutated people can eat people.
Wen Yiku didn't need Ni Peiyun to answer her question. She calmly turned around and said, "I heard Shen Jiayi is very satisfied with your performance, so there is a chance for promotion."
This statement made Ni Peiyun even more stressed: "I... but many people in the sales department are very dissatisfied with me, the deputy manager who parachuted in, especially the manager who often targets me. If it weren't for Mr. Shen..."
Wen Yiku raised her hand and interrupted her words, "Be yourself. Your immediate superior will be hiccupping soon, and those who hinder you will not exist."
This statement made Ni Peiyun sweat profusely on her back, but now she has boarded the ship of thieves. Today's status and opportunities are all thanks to this mysterious and terrifying woman.
She is not stupid, staying in a state-owned enterprise and being able to thrive is all about human sperm, especially for women.
She was well aware of the approach of self-improvement, which was based on Darwin's theory of encouraging people to move forward. It gathered more and more people, and the people gathered in it allowed her to easily resolve the cancer problem in the final resettlement area for the shelter. And what facilitated all of this was the woman in front of me.
She faintly sensed that when she was riding with Shen Jiayi before, she encountered an attack from the mutated Yuanbaoji, which was likely the result of the woman in front of her.
In addition, the incident she heard about the cannibalistic mutant earlier made her feel like she had fallen into a bottomless conspiracy vortex.
However, danger also means opportunity, not the self-improvement of this woman. She is still a bad gambler and drunkard, relying on borrowing and avoiding debt for a living.
So now she can only closely follow this woman named Wen Yiku and obediently become her chess piece.
"Yes! Miss Wen!"
Wen Yikui muttered to herself and picked up a cup of tea: "I originally wanted to make a complete mess of the shelter, so that I could complete the task. Now it seems like, haha... I'm getting more and more fond of this place. It feels so different from the rigid Garden of Eden before the disaster. By the way, did you send the decision into it?"
Ni Peiyun quickly nodded and said, "He has already joined the team and brought the communication equipment as per your request. I just don't know what task you... arranged for him to go out."
"It's not your turn to worry about that. What you need to worry about is playing yourself well and making Shen Jiayi value you. Afterwards, just leave it to me. I will send you to a higher position properly, and then... hehe, the door of the Garden of Eden will be open for you."
"Yes!" Ni Peiyun quickly lowered his head as he listened, "It's just that Song Ren knew I was whistleblowing. Will he reveal me?"
Wen Yi shook her head with a confident smile on her lips, saying, "No, I had an agreement with that Shen Liansheng. You can rest assured. That Tom, he won't know any unfavorable rumors about you. I remember he still owes you a favor."
"Yes."
"Wait, when he comes back, it's time for him to fulfill his promise. Of course, the prerequisite is that he can come back alive."
Shen Liansheng, the thought of this man made Ni Peiyun shudder even more.
The deputy general manager of Haiwei Mini Industry and the younger brother of Shen Guantian from Haiwei Group, he holds a position second only to Shen Jiayi in the shelter. I only met Song Ren through Yuan Feixing's relationship last time, but unexpectedly, Wen Yiku reached an agreement with Song Ren's boss Shen Liansheng.
As a senior executive in a state-owned enterprise, she has seen a lot of intrigue in the officialdom and shopping malls. She doesn't think Shen Liansheng is completely unaware of Song Ren's situation. On the contrary, Shen Liansheng should be the mastermind behind the entire corruption and conspiracy. So after the incident, Shen Liansheng made Song Ren admit all the charges and take on all the responsibilities with just one sentence.
This pot is really big, round, and very black.
