Chapter 311 Deep Virtual Reality 139
The thunder gradually subsided, the rain lessened, the dark clouds dispersed, and a pale dawn appeared on the horizon, bringing long-awaited light to the world.
Although she didn't know why the young man had so inexplicably recognized her as his mother, Xie Ning was certain that Number 208 posed no threat to her personally at this time.
As reason gradually returned, Xie Ning suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes. Killing No. 208 would only remove a threat to himself. However, given that he was stronger than No. 208 and No. 208 did not show any obvious hostility towards him, taking No. 208 as an ally was clearly a better choice.
One person's strength is limited; she needs more powerful support from all aspects.
Number 208 is an alien creature, or more precisely, an alien creature that has undergone fission and evolution in a laboratory and has acquired a certain level of intelligence.
She learned from Zhan Lin that Professor Lillian's experimental results were nothing more than a lie fabricated by androids and alien creatures, and thus knew that Number 208 had a suppressive effect on ordinary alien creatures and could also play a commanding role.
It's rare, and also very useful.
“Ning…Ning…” Annika’s legs were trembling. Number 208 stood next to Xie Ning, and she was scared!
He won't hurt you.
Xie Ning pulled himself together and glanced down at Zhan Lin, who was grimacing. Yin Yue and Yin Xing hadn't gone far before collapsing in the woods, where they were spotted by Annika, who was helping Zhan Lin back.
"Oh, okay." Annika was still as timid as a quail; who wouldn't be afraid in that situation?
That monster, number 208, was so ferocious before. Even though the monster is dead and she doesn't have to see its bloody, terrifying, and disgusting corpse, she's still afraid.
"Ning, you're actually an Awakened One?"
Annika knelt down and joined Xie Ning in bandaging Yin Yue and Yin Xing's wounds. Only now did she finally ask the question that had been nagging at her all the way.
Xie Ning paused in her actions. When she initially chose to knock Annika unconscious, she was still thinking of keeping it a secret. But now that things had come to this point, there was no point in hiding it anymore.
He nodded, acknowledging the fact.
"But I don't want anyone else besides us to know about this, understand?"
She didn't want to reveal herself too quickly. Although her strength had increased, being in the eye of the storm wouldn't help her achieve what she wanted.
"Ning," Zhan Lin said from behind, "Although we can help you cover this up, it will be difficult to pass the Security Bureau's review. They not only have lie detectors, but also special ability users to conduct interrogations. Moreover, we will undergo a series of checks when we get back."
Therefore, it's very difficult to hide.
This was something she hadn't expected. Xie Ning frowned slightly. Although these weren't problems for her, Annika and Zhan Lin were ordinary people, and it would be difficult for them to get through this.
"I suggest you just openly admit that you have superpowers. You asked me for materials before because you wanted to take the civil service exam and become a public servant, right?"
Xie Ning nodded.
Seeing this, Zhan Lin pondered for a while before continuing, "Then your special ability will not only not hinder you, but will become your asset. All factions within the Federation will strive to have someone like you, so your promotion speed will be much faster."
Although Zhan Lin didn't know her ultimate goal, what she said was correct and the direction was right. Although her superpowers would put her in the spotlight, people with strong abilities are often more likely to gain higher social status.
She had previously concealed her superpowers for one reason: she couldn't explain why she had suddenly awakened them. Now that she's on this island, she has an excuse.
Having said that, Zhan Lin looked at Yin Yue and Yin Xing lying on the ground. She didn't recognize the boy, but Yin Yue's appearance was very distinctive, after all, he was a wanted criminal. "Then what about them..."
Officially, she should arrest the rebels, but personally, Silver Star had saved her more than once...
"Cough cough—"
"You're awake?" Annika patted her chest, looking relieved. "I thought you were going to die. Luckily, the medicine Ning brought worked very well; the wound on your back was so deep you could see the bone..."
"Where is Yin Xing?" Yin Yue pursed her dry lips.
Xie Ning handed him an anti-inflammatory pill before saying, "Yin Xing's injuries are also quite severe. Sleep is a good way to repair the body's deficiencies, so he is still sleeping."
Hearing that Yin Xing was alright, Yin Yue was relieved. He had regained consciousness earlier, so he had overheard their conversation. He had already accepted the fact that Xie Ning was an Awakened One.
He was even somewhat relieved that he didn't want Xie Ning to die.
Seeing Xie Ning staring at her, Yin Yue was taken aback, then nodded in response, "I won't tell the leader."
He had received so much kindness from Xie Ning; it would be utterly heartless of him to betray her.
Although he felt it wouldn't matter even if the leader knew, since in his mind the leader was a good person who wouldn't harm Xie Ning, he complied since Xie Ning had asked for it.
“Silver Moon, can you tell me about Xia Yan and Night Shadow? Xia Yan stole my genetic information, and now... he has betrayed you. I think I should know some inside information.”
Xie Ning squinted. If time hadn't been so tight, she would have definitely pried Xia Yan open her mouth to get information.
Speaking of Xia Yan, a hint of hatred and a faint pain appeared in Yin Yue's eyes. "I didn't know about Xia Yan's betrayal, and I didn't receive any news that he was involved in this operation. But regarding your genetic information... Xia Yan is a member of the research institute, so your genetic information is also... However, only a few of us know your specific identity."
Seeing the mockery in Xie Ning's eyes, Yin Yue couldn't continue. At this moment, he also understood Xie Ning's concealment of his superpower; neither of them was being honest.
"I'll have to wait until I get back to find out the specifics. As for Nightshade, I've never heard of him, but I suspect he's a spy we secretly planted at the experimental base."
Zhan Lin watched the two talking as if no one else was around, and really wanted to shout, "There's a security bureau officer right here!"
They're really not taking her seriously. Aren't they afraid she'll report them?
