MM Racing Chapter 43 Southward
Chapter 43 Southward
Bai Jin was originally an elite special forces soldier. During an operation, she was caught in a sudden explosion and had both legs amputated and her spine injured in order to protect her teammates, leaving her almost unable to move.
Due to her special circumstances, in order to continue fighting, she joined a large-scale experimental project in the special operations laboratory.
It took a long time of treatment and modification to obtain this dual-form body with excessive strength.
"So your horse's body can be detached, and various weapons can be attached to it?"
After listening to Platinum's account, Lorraine's attention shifted to the latter half of Platinum's body.
"Yes, my mechanical legs were specially designed for this purpose, to accommodate two different modes of locomotion."
"What was the purpose of this design? Was it for convenience, maintenance, or modularity?"
Lorraine showed no sympathy for Platinum's injury; he was now only concerned with the mechanical structure on Platinum's body and the intensity of the battlefield.
Ouyang Nian was getting anxious seeing Luo Lin's ruthless and utterly heartless attitude towards strength. This could be their future teammate; couldn't they at least show some concern?
At this moment, the cargo ship carrying the maintenance compartment docked at the shore.
Ouyang Nian interrupted their conversation.
"There's a maintenance bay on this ship. Why don't you go up and do some maintenance? Bai Zhi is waiting on the ship."
"Oh, how did you convince Tian Shu to hand over Xiao Bai Zhi to you?"
Taking this opportunity, the mechanical dog named Roy escaped from the suppression of the other two mechanical dogs.
However, before he could finish speaking, Platinum hung him on the crane and turned off his voice transmitter.
This smooth and effortless maneuver left Lorraine and the other person speechless.
"I'm sorry, but because my mobility is too outstanding after the modification, after much consideration, the leaders of the experiment paired me with these four partners with different personalities."
Platinum smiled awkwardly.
"What are those two named?"
Lorraine pointed to the two slightly different mechanical dogs and asked.
"My name is Xuan Tie, and I'm in charge of fire support. That idiot is in charge of carrying supplies and is also the most resilient. To prevent the captain from having an outlet for his anger, the researchers designed this guy to look like this."
The largest mechanical dog, carrying a 40mm grenade launcher, explained something while waiting for the crane.
"My name is Kheshig, a breakthrough fighter, a guard. But that guy is definitely too noisy when he's not on a mission."
The mechanical dog, carrying a twin-mounted light machine gun and equipped with four triple-mounted launchers, added a comment.
When Bai Jin and her team had all boarded the cargo ship and were waiting for maintenance, Ouyang grabbed Lorraine's ear.
"Are you stupid? Why don't you show more concern for him?"
Ouyang Nian had a look of disappointment on his face.
"She is a top-notch warrior, and she must have been mentally prepared when she made her choice."
Upon hearing this, Lorraine shrugged and continued.
Instead of expressing sympathy, praise her fighting ability and what makes her unique.
"The former would make her feel that her modifications were worthwhile, as for the latter..."
Lorraine stared at Ouyang Nian without saying a word.
"Speak quickly."
Ouyang Nian felt uneasy under Lorraine's gaze.
"You told me to say this, so don't be angry."
"I said it, hurry up."
"As for the latter, it's like complimenting your looks; how could a girl not care about her appearance?"
Lorraine nimbly dodged Ouyang Nian's whip kick and retreated onto the boat.
"It's time to get back to the ship."
Ouyang Nian sat down on the small boat, fuming.
He went straight into the warehouse and sulked as soon as he boarded the ship.
Lorraine was both amused and exasperated, but dared not comfort her, since Ouyang Nian had essentially dug herself into a hole. Now she could only wait for Ouyang Nian to calm down.
With a "thump," Platinum gracefully leaped onto the gunboat.
"What are you doing right now?"
Platinum's face flushed slightly as she looked curiously at Lorraine, who stood by the ship with a worried expression.
"I was just trying to appease my girlfriend; she's a little jealous."
"It seems I am quite charming in your eyes! Thank you for your previous compliments."
Platinum gave an elegant bow.
"Wait, I didn't leave the channel just now?"
"The terminals you two have are capable of communication, but if Ms. Ouyang is jealous because of me, then you can give them to me."
Platinum gracefully opened the hatch and stepped out.
Lorraine waited anxiously outside for a long time until all the mechanical dogs had completed their maintenance and returned to shore before Bai Jin and Ouyang Nian came out of the cabin.
"I don't care anymore, I was the first one here, I have to be the first one."
Ouyang Nian's sudden remark stunned Luo Lin, who then swaggered toward the driver's seat.
"Captain, if you intend to explore downstream, I suggest you remain vigilant. I am certain that these zombie sheep came from the south."
"Okay, I'll be careful. Are you getting ready to go back now?"
"Yes, I will eventually have to go back and let them know I'm safe."
Have a safe journey. Looking forward to our next collaboration.
Lorraine shook hands with Platinum, somewhat regretfully.
"It definitely will."
Bai Jin smiled, returned to the cargo ship, put on his half-body, went back to the shore, and led his team on the road back to Research Institute 137.
"What are you standing there for? There's still time, why don't you hurry down and check it out downstream?"
Ouyang Nian leaned out of the driver's seat and urged.
"Here it comes, here it comes."
Lorraine steered the boat around and continued downstream.
"Reconnaissance drone takes off."
As they approached the area where the pivot team was trapped, Lorraine slowed the ship down, allowing the drone to scout ahead first, prioritizing safety.
There's nothing around here.
After a period of investigation, no anomalies were found, which made Ouyang Nian very irritable.
"There must be a leader. Wasn't the strange phenomenon in that industrial zone due to the presence of a leader?"
[We are about to enter a Level 1 area. Commander, please be on high alert.]
A notification popped up. Lorraine suppressed his frustration and prepared to retrieve the drone, which was running low on battery.
A "plop" sound came from the water.
[Signal lost.]
Still unaware of what had happened, Lorraine decisively controlled another reconnaissance drone to ascend into the sky.
"Tiangou, Diting, return to the center of the deck. Ouyang Nian, see if you can find any clues from the last footage transmitted by the reconnaissance drone."
Lorraine decisively issued a series of commands, while simultaneously increasing the engine output, ready to turn at any moment.
"The drone was shot down by a water jet that flew out of the water from the right front."
"Tengu, two grenades are fired 50 meters to your right front."
Two airburst grenades exploded on the water's surface, creating ripples.
Lorraine decisively turned around; the explosion of the two grenades should be enough to disrupt the creatures underwater.
Once they were about 1 kilometer away from the crash site, Lorraine slowly slowed down and allowed the reconnaissance drone to descend gradually, observing the water surface from an altitude of 100 meters.
"Are these two lizards? How did they evolve the abilities of archerfish?"
"Haven't you seen the diversity of species in the apocalypse? Now think about how to deal with it, otherwise we won't be able to continue south."
