"Lin Fan, why are you here?" When Zhang Zhaojie heard that she had arrived, he stopped what he was doing and ran out to greet her.
"How come this thing is here?" Lin Fan felt uncomfortable when he saw the spear.
If she saw correctly, those black blood stains on it should still be hers, right? Why didn't she wipe them off? It was creepy.
"Oh, this..." Zhang Zhaojie scratched his head and was about to explain when Ke Wenbin arrived.
"This has been kept here ever since, and no one has touched it." Ke Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Fan looked okay.
These elders knew that Lin Fan had a grudge against the Green Armored Man for killing him.
I just heard that she was almost recovered, but I didn't expect her to come to the lab suddenly today. I was caught off guard and her weapon was seen.
"I mean, this thing didn't disappear?" Lin Fan thought about it carefully.
After the green-armored man degenerated into a human, it seemed that his weapon was still in his hand and did not disappear with it.
The situation was urgent at the time and I didn't care about this issue. But now when I think about it, it seems very strange.
"That's not right. Isn't this weapon together with the mecha? The mecha disappeared, why is the weapon still there?" Lin Fan suddenly thought of something he didn't understand and looked at Ke Wenbin in confusion.
"Well... actually, we don't understand it either," Ke Wenbin said helplessly. "But we suspect it might be stained with your blood, which is why the weapon remains even though the main mecha has disappeared."
Lin Fan glanced back and saw a lot of blood stains on it. It was black and green, and looked very dirty.
"So we didn't even dare to wipe it, for fear that if we wiped it clean, it would disappear," Zhang Zhaojie added.
"You can't just leave it like this forever." Gao Fei came over at some point.
"No, no," Zhang Zhaojie waved his hand, "We're planning to melt this down and use it to make weapons for Xingchen."
"What?" Lin Fan opened his eyes wide.
Her first reaction was to refuse.
After this thing pierced her, she used it to pierce its original owner through and through.
Regardless of whether it was auspicious or unlucky, she must have felt uncomfortable.
And this color... doesn't match...
But she knew very well that it was not her turn to decide the matter, and if it really came to a decision, her wishes would not matter.
"See, I told you Lin Fan wouldn't be happy about it." Ke Wenbin, who probably understood a little of Lin Fan's feelings, consoled her, "Don't worry, this is just a preliminary idea. It's still in the conceptual stage. We'll have to wait until we see Xingchen's upgraded form before we can say anything specific. After all, we can't just leave this thing here to look at forever, right?"
"Yeah, don't worry," Zhang Zhaojie agreed. "We just figured this thing must be made from the same material as 818. Now that 818 is gone and we haven't found any other materials, we figured we can't let it go to waste. We have to make use of it."
"We think that after Xingchen completes its evolution, it might have its own weapon system, so this might not be necessary," Ke Wenbin said with a smile. "If that's the case, we'll add this to the bionic armor."
"Give it to us?" Gao Fei did not go directly to the counterattack scene, and his emotions about this gun were not as strong as others.
"Well. You suffered a loss this time because you didn't have a suitable weapon, so you could only passively take the beating. If you had a weapon of the same strength, even if it was a little weaker, it wouldn't be so difficult to fight." Ke Wenbin said seriously.
Gao Fei nodded.
The bionic armor had a decent surface toughness thanks to the addition of the 818 coating, but it lacked a powerful striking weapon. The guns they'd previously made were fine for ordinary situations, but were completely useless against a bio-armor like Xingchen's.
Everyone has seen the power of this spear. If it can really be used as a weapon for bionic armor, then their offensive capabilities will be greatly increased.
In terms of strength, it is a good thing.
"Come on, let's sit down and talk. Don't stand here." Ke Wenbin saw that Lin Fan was not in a good mood. He didn't know whether she was in a bad mood because of the weapons or her body was not fully recovered. He asked them to leave.
In the conference room, they saw Xia Jing again.
He was buried in his computer, not knowing what he was busy with, and was very surprised to see Lin Fan walk in.
After some pleasantries, he sat next to Lin Fan, typing on the keyboard and chatting with him.
"I heard that John Woo has been looking for similar materials to 818, but has he found nothing?" Lin Fan asked Ke Wenbin.
"You can't say there's no result. He actually found two minerals and sent them over, but neither was 818." Ke Wenbin poured water for Lin Fan and Gao Fei and sat down beside them. "Even though it's not 818, it's still a rare mineral and could be useful."
"Used in bionic armor?" Gao Fei asked.
"Yes, it is used in the second generation. The shell of the second generation is made of the new mineral material sent by John Woo. The hardness is much higher than similar metals. Of course, it can't be compared with 818." Ke Wenbin shook his head.
"In fact, we don't know whether we can find similar materials as those in the 818 incident. But this attack has given us hope again," Zhang Zhaojie interjected.
"I hope John Woo can find it sooner." Lin Fan sighed lightly.
She understood the principle, but she also knew that it was not that easy.
Poor John Woo.
"Come to think of it, you guys don't seem to be in a hurry to see my upgrade this time?" Lin Fan felt very strange.
She remembered that during the last upgrade, although no one said anything, their attitudes showed some anticipation.
Why does everyone seem to be fine this time? No one seems anxious.
On the contrary, she herself did not change her body to verify it, as if she was always feeling uncomfortable.
"Don't be impatient." Xia Jing looked up from the computer. "We all knew before that you transformed in your dream and reopened the wound..."
He shook his head. "We don't want to repeat the scene in the operating room. Of course, we should wait until you are fully recovered. You won't run away anyway."
"Besides, didn't your earring fall off?" Zhang Zhaojie added, "That Qian Laoduo was very powerful this time. We all saw it. What he gave you must be useful. It's safer to wait until you get it back before changing it."
Lin Fan's situation is almost semi-public within 623, so everyone knows everything about his physical condition and the location of his magic weapon.
No one is a fool. They will not do anything that kills the chicken to get the eggs.
And they really cared more about Lin Fan's condition. After all, after spending over a year together, people would develop feelings for each other. There weren't many people as cold-hearted as Cui Yan.
Rather than anxiously confirming the upgrade status of Xingchen, they cared more about Lin Fan's health and the stability of the mecha.
Anyway, with Lin Fan's current self-healing ability, he wouldn't have to wait much longer. Researchers are the most patient.
They chatted and laughed for a while until Jin Sichen called someone, and then Lin Fan pulled Gao Fei away.
That night Lin Fan had another nightmare.
She woke up with shaking hands.
The cold touch of the dark green spear seemed to still be in her palm. She still remembered how she thrust it downwards with all her strength, and the feeling of it piercing through her body...
Lin Fan covered his face and buried his head in his knees, not moving for a long time...
