Chapter 356 - 356 Power Armor

356 Power Armor

Wang Ran looked at Ding Xiaoyan’s perfect side profile and suddenly remembered that he had not laid his hands on her yet.

Reward…

‘Alright, I’ll just treat it as a reward for my outstanding employee.’

Wang Ran drove the car to the beach and opened the sunroof.

Beneath the moonlight, Wang Ran picked up Ding Xiaoyan and pressed her down on the back seat…

When Wang Ran returned to the island, he was immediately surrounded and attacked by the girls.

“Master, here’s the schedule. Please adhere to it.

“It starts at ten. Each batch will be two hours long.

“The first batch is Zhou Meng, Fang Shutian, and girls No. 3,4, and 5.

“Master, you can do it!”

Lin Momo raised her arms and made a cheering gesture.

“I…”

Wang Ran felt a chill down his spine.

This schedule meant that he was going to battle until dawn.

Momo was truly ruthless…

However, he had indeed been away for a long time. He had incurred a debt.

Sigh…

With great power came great responsibility!

Wang Ran allowed the girls to steer him into the house…

Late at night.

At the capital, Lin Liye was called to a room.

A senior executive and a researcher were in the room.

“Director Li, Dr. Zhang. Looking for me?”

Lin Liye did not know why the two of them were looking for him so late at night.

“Lin, we’ve already sent the mutant biological cells you brought back to the lab.

“But…

“There’s something we still need to tell you.

“The results… they don’t quite justify the resources we spent on the virus research.

“It’s not looking good.

“Dr. Zhang has spoken at length with us. He plans to cut laboratory expenses and reduce the scope of research. We’ll only work on the improvement of the vaccine.

“As for the militarization and empowering of the virus…

“We’ll stop for now,” Director Li said as he tapped the table.

“What? Stop?!

“Do you know how many people we sacrificed to bring back these samples?

“You’re going to stop the game just because you feel like it?

“If we don’t continue researching the virus, we will always be on the back foot!

“I don’t agree with this!”

Lin Liye smacked the table, causing the marble table to crack.

“Lin, progress has been slow.

“It is already a huge blessing to be able to retain the vaccine and improve on it.

“You should know that not everyone is like you, Lin Liye!

“Relying on the virus to increase our capital’s strength is a pipe dream!

“If we want to defend the capital and reclaim our lost territory, we need something with instant results.

“Progress with the virus is absolutely crawling.

“Dr. Zhang’s other research lab has come up with an alternative. They’ll be mass-producing it soon,” Director Li said in a deep voice.

“Alternative? What’s the alternative?

“Do you know that I’ve already found a breakthrough?.”

Lin Liye was anxious. He wanted to mention how the act of copulating would…

“Lin!

“This matter has already been decided! That’s final!”

Director Li interrupted him.

Lin Liye stood stunned for a moment. He finally let out a sigh.

He was not quite sure how to convince them of his method in the first place.

On one hand, the capital didn’t have that many powerful female zombies. On the other hand, not everyone could accept being with a female zombie…

“I should at least know what the alternative is, right?” Lin Liye asked.

“Dr. Zhang, please.”

Director Li turned to Dr. Zhang.

Dr. Zhang nodded and handed a folder to Lin Liye.

“As you are aware, before the apocalypse, we were already researching on powered exosuits, or Power Armor.

“However, the progress came to a halt as we hit a limit: the human occupant. Their bodies could not handle the force generated by the suits.

“We had to enhance the human occupants by a certain degree to pilot the suits.

“Now is the best time to restart this project!”

Dr. Zhang’s eyes lit up in excitement.

“As you know, our capital has several thousand Awakened Ones.

“Although most of them are only rank-one or two, they are already far more robust than ordinary people.

“They would be able to handle the strain of piloting such suits.

“Preliminary tests have been promising. A rank-two Awakened One is able to produce the output of a rank-four.

“Lin, I know you advocate improving the physical fitness of soldiers.

“But think about it. We only have low-leveled cannon fodders. They aren’t as talented as you.

“If this Power Armor kicks off, we will be much stronger!” Dr. Zhang said excitedly.

“This…

“Alright, I admit that it does make sense.”

Lin Liye nodded.

Previously, in the battle to defend against the wave of zombies, many low-level Awakened soldiers were sacrificed.

If they truly put this to use, they would fare much better.

“But how can you guarantee that this technology won’t be stolen by other countries?” Lin Liye asked.

Previously, when he was chatting with Wang Ran, he had already mentioned that now that many countries had regained their footing, it was very likely that they would engage in large-scale battles to fight for resources.

If this technology was leaked out, China would be in trouble.

“I’ve already considered this problem.

“There is an identification module in the core control chip of our armor. Only soldiers who have been injected with a specific vaccine can activate it.

“This specific vaccine was developed based on the vaccine sent by Researcher Liu Shiyao.

“We can strictly regulate production of this vaccine.

“Even if there are spies, the situation is still under control,” Dr. Zhang explained.

“Alright…

“If that’s the case, I have no more questions.

“It’s all for the good of China.”

Lin Liye nodded.

This made some sense.

There were less than ten people in the capital who were rank-six and above.

On the other hand, empowering thousands of low-leveled Awakened soldiers would lead to major upgrades.

The next large-scale World War was around the corner, and the most important thing was to improve their overall strength with a cost-effective ratio.
