Chapter 89: Chapter 86 Divine Armor No.2_1

"Ah! No...I haven’t, I haven’t seen it. I’m just guessing to see if it can be achieved."

Upon hearing Dr. Huang’s question, Ning Yu’er immediately panicked and stuttered. She certainly didn’t want her protective Little Mister to be grabbed for research!

Dr. Huang cast a doubtful glance at her and said, "Oh, Grandpa, go back and research in this area."

"Okay," Ning Yu’er replied.

Meanwhile, Ning Tianlang noticed a glint of insight flashing in his daughter’s eyes.

Zombies that retain human cognition, huh...

Half an hour later, Ning Tianlang and Dr. Huang said their goodbyes and left the conference room, only to be greeted by a voice nearby.

"Hey, Old Ning!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Tianlang frowned, clearly not too fond of the owner of this voice.

He reluctantly turned around to find a middle-aged man resembling Chen Chaoyang by seventy or eighty percent, dressed in a neat suit and leather shoes, leading five or six New Human soldiers towards him.

This was Chen Huaijiang, a Level 1 New Human!

"Old Ning, I must thank you this time. Thanks to you, my son was able to return safely!" Chen Huaijiang said politely as soon as he approached Ning Tianlang.

"Your son?"

Ning Tianlang was a bit confused, but being shrewd, he knew Chen Huaijiang was trying to win him over. He didn’t directly state that he didn’t know who his son was, knowing that having one more friend meant having one more way out. This was the experience he had gained in a peaceful society; having one more friend was better than having one more enemy!

"Ah, my son Chaoyang, your daughter’s classmate, just returned from your safe zone. Look, my son and Ning Yu’er are..."

"Okay, okay, just say what you want!"

Seeing Chen Huaijiang veering off-topic, Ning Tianlang cut him short and asked him straight out what he wanted. Cheng Huaijiang knew that Ning Tianlang didn’t want to talk about these things, but as a Level 2 New Human, he was a major pillar in the apocalypse, so wooing him wouldn’t hurt. He said, "No problem, I just came to thank you. If it weren’t for you, I don’t know if I would have been able to see my son. Thank you, when you have time, come over for tea!"

After saying that, he patted Ning Tianlang’s shoulder as if they were close friends. At this moment, Dr. Huang also exited the meeting room for some reason.

"Alright, I’m going first, I have things to deal with. Remember to come over for tea when you’re free, my treat!"

"Okay, I definitely will!"

Upon seeing Dr. Huang coming out, Chen Huaijiang immediately found an excuse to leave and walked towards the end of the corridor.

"What did Chen Huaijiang want with you?" Dr. Huang asked Ning Tianlang.

"Nothing, he just said I saved his son without even knowing."

"Oh." Dr. Huang responded, aware that Chen Huaijiang was trying to woo Ning Tianlang. The relationship between Chen Huaijiang and Hong Zhenlin at the Qinshan Base was becoming more and more tense, and they could start fighting at any time!

Both sides were coming from different perspectives: one stood for the New Humans, while the other stood for ordinary humans. Since the establishment of the Qinshan Base, Chen Huaijiang and Hong Zhenlin had been vying for people, with Chen Huaijiang recruiting powerful New Humans into his camp. Meanwhile, Hong Zhenlin tried to win over those high-ranking ordinary people, but those people turned out to be of no use as they just hid at home and outran everyone when distributing supplies. Therefore, Hong Zhenlin also began to woo New Humans.

However, most of those on Hong Zhenlin’s side were ordinary people who discriminated against New Humans. But as New Humans gained considerable power, they didn’t take kindly to such discrimination from ordinary people and clearly preferred to join the New Human side!

"Tianlang, was that safe zone in Lin City breached by a horde of zombies?"

"Yeah." Ning Tianlang nodded.

"Come back inside for a minute, I have something to tell you."

Dr. Huang said, leading Ning Tianlang and his daughter back into the meeting room. The three of them casually sat down, and shortly after, the previous scientist wearing a silver belt came out of the back room.

"This is Divine Armor No.2, the finished product. Some features have been perfected. Give it a try!"

"Alright!" Ning Tianlang’s eyes flashed at the sight of the belt. He took off his Divine Armor No.1 and quickly put on Divine Armor No.2.

[Establishing neural connection...3%]

[Calculating height and weight...]

[The miniature nuclear reactor is starting, please wait]

[Preparations in all aspects are completed. Divine Armor No.2 is covering, please enter the instruction password.]

"AK13631ZY!"

Ning Tianlang uttered a string of passwords, and then the Divine Armor No.2 around his waist began to extend to his feet and head. Accompanied by the sound of machinery clicking into place, a silver-armored figure, like a future warrior, appeared in the conference room.

[Divine Armor No.2 has been successfully covered.]

The emotionless machine voice rang out. Ning Tianlang lifted his arm in the face of Ning Yu’er’s astonished gaze and nodded to Dr. Huang. Compared to Divine Armor No.1, Divine Armor No.2 had an additional fist-sized nuclear reactor in its chest, doubling its endurance!

Click, click, click!

The sound of machinery misaligning rang out again, and the Divine Armor No.2 covering Ning Tianlang’s entire body began to withdraw, shrinking back into the belt.

"Pretty good, right?" Dr. Huang asked with a smile.

"Not bad!" Ning Tianlang nodded in reply.

After replying, he opened his mouth as if wanting to say something else, but didn’t. He looked at Dr. Huang with an indescribable expression.

"Tianlang, I know what you’re thinking. Such a weapon can’t be mass-produced. The manufacturing cost is too high, and the nanotechnology used in it hasn’t been fully mastered yet. Also, the radiation is too strong. Ordinary people can’t wear it for long!"

"It can be given to New Human soldiers to wear. If we’re going to clean up the zombies, this is a powerful weapon! The materials used may be scarce, but our enemy now is those zombies out there!"

"The current market isn’t as simple as you think. It’s the end of the world, and the money from before is worthless. Many regions overseas have begun to use gold and the evolution crystals found in zombie brains as currency. No matter how much paper money there is, they won’t accept it!"

Ning Tianlang became quiet. The zombies outside had started to evolve; although Level 3 zombies had not appeared yet, Level 1 and Level 2 zombies were already rampant, and there were only a few New Humans.

Who knows when the apocalypse will end. Just as Ning Tianlang was deep in thought, Dr. Huang spoke up again: "Now, the gap between New Humans and old humans is growing. I’m old. Although I’ve also become a New Human, I don’t think I’ll live much longer. In the future, you’ll have to carry on my mantle. As for Yu Jiancheng, that kid can’t accomplish great things!"

"Don’t say that. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today!..."
