Chapter 28 Mariko’s Daughter
It was already six o’clock in the afternoon when I left the Kakadan Prosthetic Clinic.
A thick red cloud rises at the end of the sky, and a few sparse rays of sunlight shine into it, like ripples and sparkle on the surface of a lake.
The second sentence is not a metaphor.
These thick clouds are really glowing, and some of the worst parts are even like the fluorescent wings of colorful butterflies
During the decades of production in the new industrial zone, radioactive dust, chemical volatiles, biofuels, and all kinds of strange things were randomly discharged, and naturally enriched in the clouds with the air - continuous corrosive acid rain. , the strange clouds and the thick layer of dust at this moment are the consequences of brewing.
After all, there is no "artificial canopy" covering the white door area and the central hall in the deep moss area. The climate can be adjusted at will and impurities filtered out.
Even now, these have been purified. Although there may be minor problems such as deformed babies, radiation sickness, and acid rain erosion due to insufficient insurance, in general it is still livable and the future is promising.
The situation in most of the wasteland outside the city is much worse than in the deep moss area. The company's semi-public purification does not charge too much for the service, so people need to be satisfied.
After staring at the sunset for a while, Song Shi shook his head and looked away.
Next, he first went to the "storage locker" to get the things he bought in Qianxing City yesterday, and then returned to the low-rent hotel.
".Well, the quality is okay."
"You have violated the contract regulations. Please report it to the research institute within two days, otherwise we will lower your credit rating and set the Cross out the pop-up window "List of Dishonest Persons" and Song Shi looked in front of him.
The bed in the low-rent house is already filled with all kinds of things.
White armor type III power armguard, simple reagent insertion belt, kinetic energy pistol "Black Musket", TTU multifunctional engineer shovel, a small ammunition box, Atat's ring
These are the current total net worth of Song Shi.
He just checked briefly, and the quality of these is pretty good.
The TTU multifunctional engineer shovel is a second-hand product and the built-in hydraulic booster has been damaged.
But with the high-strength manganese steel material that has been treated with water toughness, and the enhanced strength of the power arm guard, Song Shi is equally confident in breaking a person's neck with a shovel - unless the other party replaces the alloy frame. Otherwise, conventional protection methods are just like paper.
Then there are White Armor Type III Power Armguards.
Song Shi stretched out his right hand and slowly pinched it with his five fingers, feeling the power arm guard that he had worn and completely wrapped his forearm and hand.
This is a rather wonderful feeling.
Through the "nerve link unit" implanted in the inner layer of skin, when the arm guard wraps the arm, except for the initial brief cold touch, the two quickly complete the connection of sensory nerves and the establishment of adaptive circuits ——Immediately, all the discomfort disappeared.
With just a thought, the arm guard was driven by Song Shi's thoughts. The five fingers were pinched, the joints were swinging, and the complex movements were all smooth and free, without the weird feeling that ordinary people would have when they first tried it.
“——As expected of me.”
Song Shi smiled with satisfaction.
[White Armor] A big reason why this series seems to be niche is that it is quite difficult to operate. Compared with ordinary brick-moving industrial prosthetics, the usage requirements of the two are probably "addition and subtraction" and "multiplication and division". " gap.
——But I am a first-rate master who can even defeat "algebraic topology"!
If even a mere set of [White Armor Type III] can be used without sweating, how can I have the confidence to go to the empire to do big things in the future?
After using it briefly for a while, Song Shi took off the power arm guard and put it back in the box.
To him in his previous life, White Armor Type III was an old thing from more than 20 years ago. How could he still remember the specific data? However, after a few minutes of rehabilitation, Song Shi already knew what he was doing.
The fit and coordination of the White Armor Type III are very good, just like the original arm, there is almost no foreign body feeling, and it is enough to support myself in using some difficult skills.
The disadvantage is that the output threshold is not high. The bionic muscle bundle used in the White Armor Type III is slightly stretched, resulting in a decrease in the overall output - but it will definitely be easy to twist a steel bar or the like. All of the above.
Including those drugs, two high-crystalline titanium scalpels and black powder pistols, as well as the ammunition prepared for the latter
"I'm probably three times better than I was yesterday, right?"
Song Shi thought for a while and came to a conclusion.
As for a more specific statement
If I were to face the strong man from yesterday again, I would be able to head-on the opponent within three rounds even if I don’t have to disguise or sneak attack. Unscrew it!
After sorting out the current equipment configuration, Song Shi packed it all up again.
Based on his current situation, "equipment" is the fastest way to improve his combat power.
And "psionic power" is not something that can be achieved quickly, not to mention that in this life, I must and must peek into the scenery of the fifth ring, [True Spirit], and there is no need to be too anxious or careless. Lead to a wrong path.
After finishing these, Song Shi leaned on the bedside and turned on the display screen - the coalition government provides free personal chips to newborns, as well as a set of semi-implants that can provide retinal projection interfaces without replacing prosthetic eyes. Operation.
Now.
One more thing.
Staring at the suspended light screen in front of him, Song Shi slowly opened the communication interface labeled "Mariko".
There is a file inside.
That was something that Marico gave to Song Shi through a physical link not long ago, and it contained the former's information.
To be precise, it is mainly information about his daughter.
——Meira Bennett.
She was born to Marico's ex-wife, who unfortunately became addicted to sugar. After a coma due to excessive sugar consumption, he ran into the street and was run over by a car. He died seven years ago.
At that time, Meera was just nine years old.
After handling the affairs of his ex-wife, Marico did not choose to remarry, but instead helped Meira grow up alone. Now, the other party is a sixteen-year-old second-year student studying at "Hodder Middle School".
"Hodder Middle School" is a supporting talent training facility affiliated with a local enterprise, Hodder Company. The latter's main business is the delivery of vaccines and other biological agents of Jade Pharmaceuticals, and it is regarded as a downstream distributor of Jade Pharmaceuticals .
Therefore, at least in Palowe, Hodder Company is quite prestigious.
Marico spent a lot of money to send Meira to Huode Middle School, hoping that his daughter could study hard and enter the Talent Incubation Center of Jade Pharmaceuticals through the internal pathways of Hodder Middle School, and then enter the Jade Pharmaceuticals through the internal pathways of the Talent Incubation Center to work at Jade Pharmaceuticals— —Even if it is just an outsourcing company of the latter.
Three jumps in a row.
Because even so, as long as it can be related to "Emerald Pharmaceutical", people can get a glimpse of the light.
Unfortunately, a series of changes later directly defeated Marico.
Thus, the new house loan in Rota District, the high tuition fees of Hodder Middle School, the implant installment bill, and the non-compete agreement, these things are added together to become a terrifying pressure that can crush a person in an instant. , forcing Marico to serve as a volunteer.
At that time, the reason Song Shi used to persuade him to sign the agreement was the "welfare home".
And Marico is his daughter.
Song Shi does not intend to breach the contract.
