The small incident caused by Feng Hanyun dissipated as Tom woke up, not that nothing happened, but that he really didn't care about it. It has been some time since the last attack, and there has been no movement for so long. Everyone feels that the other party is holding back a bigger wave, so all preparations are being expedited.
In terms of armor, they quickly installed the third cockpit, and then Shen Jiayi drilled in for testing, made some adjustments, and finally succeeded.
At this point, the trunk of the giant armor was raised by 5 centimeters, causing the overall height to increase from 28 centimeters to 33 centimeters, which in the eyes of the little man is equivalent to the previous height of 7.9 meters, truly a two-story building.
With the assistance of Shen Jiayi, the main control computer, both Tom and Ding Hongbo can clearly see the situation around Giant Armor from their positions, and their vision is very good. Moreover, Tom can communicate with him at any time, and the coordination between the two is smoother. The coordination of the upper and lower parts of the body, whether moving or attacking, has been greatly improved by the Giant Armor.
Thanks to the coolant raw materials provided by Shen Jiayi, Lin Meiqi combined the coolant with the temporary storage crystal, making the Awakener's ability switching smoother and faster. And it is reflected in the mental control metal deformation that forms the framework of the giant armor body, which makes the movements of the giant armor more flexible and efficient.
The next step is high-intensity training activities, and both Tom and Ding Hongbo need to seize the time to adapt, so that the Giant Armor can fight more flexibly. Even large-scale exercises are needed to train ordinary people and awakeners wearing awakener armor to cooperate with giant armor, ensuring complementary situations while avoiding mutual drag.
In the middle of the meal, Uncle Wei approached Tom and explained to him about Feng Hanyun.
Originally, Feng Hanyun approached Lu Qiuyan and asked her to help him distract the guard's attention, while he quietly entered Tom's compartment. According to his own account, Tom currently has neither a girlfriend nor a wife. As his admirer and also his life-saving benefactor, Feng Hanyun resorted to extreme means to have a relationship with Tom.
Feng Hanyun's behavior was scolded by Uncle Wei, but in the eyes of many people, it was not a big deal. The reason is simple: Tom himself is the god of war in the camp, and many women have an immense admiration for him, who is still single and has a good personal style. From 8-year-old Liu Lexuan and other girls to middle-aged aunts and aunts in their 50s, there are also young women in their twenties and thirties.
In this perilous miniature apocalypse outside, any moral and ethical principles must surrender to survival, even in relatively stable camps. After multiple crises, everyone is fully aware of this. However, for Tom's obvious rejection from thousands of miles away, most of them can only keep their admiration for him in their hearts, while some radical ones express themselves verbally, while none truly take action. After all, many people also know that once Tom gets cold faced, he can be very aggressive.
Secondly, Feng Hanyun's appearance was not very good, but after experiencing life and death, he came to the camp and had an epiphany. He picked up his original intention of applying for a nurse again. Opening a medical room has provided a lot of help for the big guy. So for her outrageous behavior, everyone just smiled and passed it. After all, the increasing number of insect attacks has made everyone very depressed, afraid that the camp will be breached tomorrow. There is such a joke, which can also be considered as a side story to relieve stress.
In summary, Uncle Wei stated that he would restrict Feng Hanyun's freedom and also urged her boyfriend Zhao Xifeng to keep her away from this area, prevent her from continuing to harass Tom, and allow him to focus on training.
Tom is noncommittal about this guarantee. Which man is not full of joy when it comes to women throwing themselves in arms and giving them a hug? He himself is not from the Appearance Association, and Feng Hanyun is not very beautiful, but he still has a feminine charm. But currently, in addition to fully training and upgrading the giant armor, he is constantly thinking about how to lead everyone out of the current difficulties, and talking about emotions is really too much for himself.
Moreover, Feng Hanyun has a boyfriend, although she has stated that she will break up with Zhao Xifeng. But her breakup was the result of her own appearance, and even if it really happened, Tom couldn't accept her. He doesn't want to be that kind of person, nor does he want to get involved in this troublesome relationship between men and women.
Farewell Uncle Wei, Tom returned to the testing ground and briefly greeted the others. After exchanging opinions with Lin Meiqi, he climbed into the giant armor named "Reinhardt" again. Quickly, Ding Hongbo and Shen Jiayi entered their own cockpit once, and the next step was Shen Jiayi, the "master computer", to initiate a spiritual connection, connecting the three of them together and starting the self inspection of the giant armor.
Before he could connect, a sentence popped up in his mind: "If it were me wearing a coat that day, would you also mercilessly push me away?"
What?
Tom quickly sat up and looked around, only to see Lin Meiqi frowning and arguing with the old iron slag man about something.
Except for Lin Meiqi, Shen Jiayi was the only one in the camp who could make spiritual connections. Realizing it wasn't Lin Meiqi, Tom's heart suddenly quickened and he quickly lay down, taking a deep breath and letting go of his body and mind.
It's just a pity that Shen Jiayi never transmitted any more words, making him think that the question in his mind just now was something he had imagined. But instinctively, he felt that this was not an illusion, he felt that it was really what Shen Jiayi asked him.
If it were Lin Meiqi, a girl who loves to tease him, he would definitely think it's a joke. But after spending so much time with Shen Jiayi, he knew that he, like her, was not someone who could joke easily, especially in certain aspects.
In the dimly lit cardboard compartment, a white coat quietly slipped off, revealing a female figure in front of her. Tom looked up and saw Shen Jiayi's delicate face.
With a loud bang and a strong vibration, Tom was pulled back to reality and only then did he realize that the giant armor had fallen.
"Brother An, I'm sorry, the adjustment of my leg center of gravity didn't keep up with the amplitude of your arm swing, so my center of gravity was unstable... I'm sorry..." Ding Hongbo's anxious voice appeared in Tom's mind, which made him blush. It was because he was distracted that the movement of waving the weapon deformed beyond the direction of his lower body center of gravity, causing the heavy armor to lose balance and fall directly.
Human upright walking requires the cerebellum to control the coordinated center of gravity of various parts of the body in order to maintain balance. For humans, it's as simple as breathing because the brain doesn't have to worry about these things at all. But when the two of them wear giant armor that reaches two floors and perform movements, they need to adjust their balance very carefully, and any mistake will cause them to lose balance and fall.
This is also one of the goals they have been tirelessly training for recently. It's okay to fall on the training ground, but if it's facing mutated cats and dogs, once they lose balance and fall, it means there's no chance of turning over again.
A crisp burst of laughter came to mind, and apart from Ding Hongbo, only Shen Jiayi could connect the three of them. This made Tom's face even redder, because it was because of her sentence that he was distracted during training, which led to the result of falling. She was undoubtedly aware of his mistake, which made him even more at a loss.
"She knows I'm considering her words... I... I don't have the face to see her anymore."
Although she was the one who started the topic, Tom instinctively felt that it was him who was wrong.
Although others didn't know, Tom still wanted to apologize, and then he loudly apologized through his loudspeaker at the edge of his mouth, saying, "I'm sorry... I was negligent just now. It was my excessive range of movements that caused the imbalance."
"With a loud bang, it was the iron block that Lin Meiqi, who was full of anger, smashed onto the helmet layer of the giant armor. Then a sharp and sharp sound rang out: 'Stinky hammer, rotten hammer. If this were on the battlefield, you would have been torn off by a wild dog, pulling out your 2.1 inch body and swallowing it directly.'"
"Once a dog tried that," Shen Jiayi's voice was also transmitted through a loudspeaker, "and the result was that he punctured his heart from inside and died."
She's defending me!
Tom immediately realized the significance of Shen Jiayi's words.
Previously, he and Shen Jiayi jumped into the river to avoid the attack of wild cats, and then drifted to the village below the river. That night, they met two wild dogs. At that time, he was exhausted and swallowed whole by a dog. If it weren't for him activating defense solidification first, he would have been bitten to pieces long ago.
The defense solidification also protected him from being corroded by the stomach acid of the dog's power, which gave him the chance to use his final strength to pierce through the wild dog.
Regarding Shen Jiayi's maintenance, Lin Meiqi was very angry and immediately retorted, "That's because you were lucky to have encountered a wild dog without mutation. If it were a mutation, the crystal would have driven your stomach to extract the power of the hammer long ago."
The two of them started arguing again, which made the other men present feel overwhelmed. Over the past few days, this situation has occurred many times. If Lin Meiqi is young and capricious, with a proud heart, then her small mouth is poisonous and spicy. Shen Jiayi, the CEO of a company, has a broad vision and a calm mindset, so there is no need to argue with a little girl.
However, Shen Jiayi seems to be enjoying it tirelessly now. Several times, she even initiated disputes and escalated them, quickly evolving into a verbal storm. As a young and capricious girl, Lin Meiqi, despite her high intelligence, is free to act without constraints, and her verbal struggles often involve going all the way up, middle, and down. How convenient is that.
Shen Jiayi, who is relatively older, is often the general manager who is calm and has no strong demand due to the cultivation of his family background. When he confronts, he is always as calm as a mountain. Even if he gains sharp sarcasm, he still keeps a calm face, and then he can easily deal with it by quoting classics and famous slang.
Tom, as the center of the storm, suffered a lot. He always got up because of him, but he couldn't dissuade him. In the end, he gathered the fire on him and suddenly stopped, the rain stopped and the clouds collected the sunshine, leaving him confused but helpless.
For this dispute, he was powerless and could only close his mouth as usual, waiting for the two ladies to have a good time arguing before he could gain peace.
However, after only a few words of fighting, the two women were suddenly interrupted by the piercing sound of metal friction. Shen Jiayi frowned and said, "This is the sound of the iron plate being torn open. Tom, there's big trouble coming."
