Chapter 417
By the time the lone pollutant appeared, Ling Wu had already left the laboratory and was standing in the cleared area that the robot had cleared.
Yu Lingba remained standing in the same spot, staring intently at Ling Wu.
"Nuwa." Lingwu put on her helmet. "I'm going to test the special operations suit to its full potential. Don't worry about my decision later."
[Your comrade-in-arms, Nuwa has received this.]
Beneath the helmet, Lingwu's lips curled slightly.
With the deliberate indulgence of the combat robots, the pollutant headed straight for Ling Wu.
It has a ferocious appearance, with a prominent forehead, sunken eyes, and bloodshot eyes.
The most obvious feature is the two sharp antennae on the top of its head.
It was still wearing the clothes it wore before it differentiated, but they were tattered and worn. Its exposed skin was grayish-white, and its hands and feet were incredibly thick.
Pollutants retain some characteristics of their semi-human state, such as habits or appearance.
Once they become pollutants, the missing part of their genes forces them to transform into monsters with animal and plant characteristics.
However, the one in front of us looks like it has only recently differentiated and does not yet have any particularly obvious animal or plant characteristics.
However, the path one walks on will show a layer of silvery-white slime under the moonlight.
It matches the "common" description given by Nuwa: [A common type of pollutant, 2.16 meters tall, weighing 189 kilograms, its weakness lies in the pair of tentacles on its head.]
Lingwu: "Received."
[Your comrade-in-arms, Nuwa, stands with you through thick and thin.]
Under Yu Ran's insistence, Yu Lingwu learned a series of self-defense and attack techniques, including martial arts.
At this moment, the body has already assumed an attack posture upon sensing danger.
However, when the pollutant was about 3 meters away from Lingwu, it was suddenly blocked by an invisible force and could not move forward.
Ling Wu did not let her guard down.
But the pollutant suddenly emitted a shrill and painful scream.
"唳——!!!"
Lingwu remained in her prepared posture as Nuwa's gentle voice reached her ears:
[Audio interference has been blocked.]
[It's Yu Lingba. Nuwa detected a slight disturbance in the magnetic field around Yu Lingba when the pollutant was less than 5 meters away from you.]
"Received." Ling Wu replied, opened her helmet to reveal her unobstructed face, and looked up at Yu Lingba.
Her eyes, illuminated by the light, seemed to shimmer with starlight.
From Yu Lingba's perspective, even though she was still very small, she was extremely dazzling at this moment, capable of stealing all of its attention.
"good."
It had no idea what it had done; it only knew that within its remaining sanity, there was one sentence firmly imprisoned within it.
—We must protect its "well-behaved" nature.
The sharp cries from the pollutants, located 3 meters away, ceased and were replaced by a deafening explosion.
"Bang—"
The loud noise made Ling Wu instinctively close her eyes for a moment.
When she heard the sporadic sounds of objects hitting the ground, she guessed that it was the sound of pollutants exploding and chunks of meat flying down.
She opened her eyes and saw a pair of large hands in front of her.
A truly large hand.
The large hand, covered in coarse black hair, stretched out like a wall, blocking all the rotting flesh coming towards Ling Wu.
Only after all the contaminated pieces of meat had fallen to the ground did the large hands slowly retract.
Several more robots, which Nuwa had summoned to shield Lingwu from the bloodshed, appeared before her eyes.
The robot was covered in blood and was being cleaned.
Lingwu glanced at it once and then looked away.
"Nuwa," Lingwu asked, "Have you calculated the time it took for Yu Lingba to strike?"
[0.12 seconds.]
The time it takes for a human to blink is 0.3 to 0.4 seconds.
Ms. Yu Ran once said that if an existence appeared that even Nuwa could not contend with, Yu Lingba would protect her in Nuwa's place.
When Lingwu tested that it took Yu Lingba a minute to spin around in the black liquid, she thought it would take more time to train it to reach the level that Ms. Yu Ran had mentioned.
But now it seems that the black liquid imprisoned it.
Or perhaps, before she is harmed, Yu Lingba will maintain a slow speed to reduce the energy consumption required by her body.
Ms. Yu Ran really helped her a lot.
"Yu Lingba, you really are one of my trump cards." Ling Wu looked up at it and praised it, not forgetting to pour water. "Nuwa is my other trump card."
[You don't need to worry that Nuwa will feel disappointed because of this.] Nuwa replied.
Lingwu smiled at Nuwa's words, "Nuwa, you're so cute."
[This is your second compliment; Nuwa will cherish it.]
"Good boy." The tall monster responded softly.
It didn't seem to understand very well.
Lingwu nodded to Nuwa, then looked at Yu Lingba and said, "If only you could control them."
Yu Lingba tilted its head, its hand resting on a tree trunk not far away, the tree creaking and cracking under its weight.
It raised its hand and scratched its head, exhaling a burst of heavy breath that made the leaves rustle.
Then he closed his eyes tightly, causing the skin around his eyes to wrinkle.
At the same time, Nuwa said, "[The pollutants that were blocked have stopped attacking.]"
But soon, Nuwa said again:
[The contaminant has resumed its attack, with a pause of 2.36 seconds.]
"Yu Lingba?"
[The probability that it is Yu Lingba is 99.99%.]
This is an extremely high value; the remaining 0.01 represents the meticulousness that Nuwa has always maintained.
"In an emergency, those 2.36 seconds are enough for me to escape death once."
Ling Wu smiled as she looked at Yu Lingba, who was still frowning and trying hard with his eyes closed.
"But if you want to control them for your own use, 2.26 seconds is too short."
Ling Wu's eyes still shone brightly. "As long as we keep Nanbudu in check, we can set the time. This time will be enough for Yu Lingba to become even stronger."
Nuwa understood Lingwu's meaning:
[Nuwa will urge Endless Technology to research and develop a potion to help Yu Lingba recover.]
She continued, "[If pollutants can be an asset, then you will no longer be fighting alone.]"
“I’ve never been fighting alone,” Ling Wu said earnestly. “I have you, and now I have Yu Lingba.”
At this moment, Yu Lingba slowly opened his eyes.
It seemed a bit agitated, its right hand clenching tightly, tearing the leaves off the trees beneath it.
"No rush," Lingwu said to Yu Lingba. "There's plenty of time in the future."
The leaves in Yu Lingba's hand were blown away by the wind and fell all over the sky.
"The future is long." Nuwa murmured these words in a gentle voice.
