Chapter 196 Deep Virtual Reality 23
She didn't know the rebels would send people to follow her, but now that she does, she can't appear ignorant.
Upon hearing this, the other party immediately hung up, probably angered. Xie Ning didn't bother to respond, simply using one hand to hold the other and put the dislocated wrist back in place. The instant pain made Xie Ning's face turn pale.
The crowd was so chaotic that she was knocked down several times. When there are a lot of people, even if she is agile, it is difficult to completely avoid them in a small space.
The security bureau personnel arrived late. Zhan Lin looked around and finally spotted Xie Ning, who was slumped on the ground in a corner. "Are you alright? I'll take you to the hospital."
Xie Ning shook her head. She had some scrapes and bruises, but they weren't serious. She could treat them herself when she got back.
"That's good." Zhan Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was used to seeing life and death, she still felt a little sad when someone she knew suddenly passed away.
Xie Ning originally wanted to ask Zhan Lin some questions about the monster after Zhan Lin finished her work, but then she remembered that the artificial intelligence had been silent before and after the monster attack, so she gave up on the plan.
The security personnel arrived early; they should be aware of this monster. However, since they did not evacuate the crowd, it proves that the higher-ups still do not want to reveal the truth.
Now that things have blown up, the authorities were forced to give an explanation the next day under pressure.
It was said to be an unidentified creature that swam up from the sea. Citizens were told not to panic, and were warned to stay away from the beach to avoid harm. The security bureau will also inspect and close off the coastline.
Whether others believed it or not, Xie Ning didn't know, but she herself didn't believe it. However, she tried searching online but couldn't find any useful information. No one was even discussing what happened that day, which was obviously being suppressed.
Judging from Zhan Lin's reaction, the security bureau personnel clearly knew about the existence of this alien creature a long time ago.
Xie Ning glanced at the two boxes of materials, which were sent by the rebels. She needed to hurry up and make some protective weapons, otherwise she would still have difficulty fighting back if she encountered danger again.
She flipped to the other side of the notebook and added fire element under the category of superpowered beings. She had seen it clearly yesterday; the fire spread from the bathroom and only engulfed the alien creature. In her memory, there was indeed a flamethrower, but it was quite large, and there was no one else in the bathroom except for a few people who were on the verge of death.
Most importantly, the flames were purplish, unlike normal flames, so she guessed it was a superpower.
"Beep beep—" The alarm clock rang, it was time to go to work. Her dormitory wasn't close to the company; it took her fifteen minutes to get there by private railcar.
"Welcome back, Xie Ning. Dr. Ji is waiting for you in Laboratory 014, P9 section of the base. Please come this way." As Kono's voice fell, a white mechanical octopus floated over to lead the way for Xie Ning.
She didn't have her own office at Huarui Technology Company; instead, she worked with three other assistants in the large office where she had her initial interview.
The other two usually process data in the office, while Xie Ning and another male assistant named Jiang Teng follow Dr. Ji to conduct experiments in the laboratory.
The cold laboratory was devoid of any artificial plants to create a warm atmosphere. Instead, there were humanoid creatures submerged in water behind the glass walls. Xie Ning paused in her steps. This was her first time visiting this laboratory, and she never expected that it contained not robots, but androids.
It is still a cyborg with half a human face and the other half resembling an ugly, bizarre, unknown creature.
Therefore, Xie Ning realized that this project was not done by Huarui alone, but in cooperation with Norton Technologies.
"These are products that failed in the experiment." A clear voice came from behind. The young man, wearing frameless glasses, looked gently at the android behind the glass wall, his tone tinged with regret.
"Their mutations are too imperfect, and they haven't developed any useful supernatural abilities. They can only be used for mechanical synthesis experiments. If the synthesis fails..."
