Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 159 158. Better disguise, love comes from the desert car
In the trapezoidal main control cabin that could accommodate dozens of people, Cypher (his real body) looked up helplessly at the lights above his head.

She wondered when she would be able to escape from this situation.

Because the pink short-haired girl who was hugging her seemed to be immersed in some emotions, and was breathing steadily like a child who was craving for warmth.

To be honest, I was quite happy because before this, Shengnai had always been elusive, acting like he could read minds and handle everything with ease.

And now, she was acting like a girl of her age should, relying on mature adults.

"...Anyway, I quickly pulled you out of the resurrection array after I came back. You must be impatient, aren't you, Shengnai?"

"No, for me, it took less than a second from the moment I suddenly lost consciousness to the moment I opened my eyes and saw Cypher."

I could feel the girl's soft cheek against my chest, and her hands were gentle as well.

"Then...can you let me go for a while?"

Sheng Naiyiyan loosened her hands, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be waiting for her to continue speaking.

Incidentally, Shengnai was standing next to the resurrection array, on the floor of the lowest work area, while Seifer was standing on the stairs one level above.

This way she would have to bend over to put her cheek on that flat surface.

After a moment of silence, Seifer patted her head and said, "Okay, take a break. I need to sort out what I just saw and find a suitable buyer."

"Although I really don't want to be busy with these things, I have a feeling that the leisurely life of making money will soon be over, and everyone will have to deal with the pressure from now on."

Although it's the same tone, the feeling when spoken through a machine's body is completely different from when spoken in this form.

So Shengnai hugged her again and nodded: "Then I have to go prepare as well. I have a feeling that many people will get hurt next."

I really wanted to tell her not to overwork herself, but just as I was about to say that, Sefer suddenly changed his tone.

"If you feel tired, come and rest with me. In order to let you rest, I will also take a break. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, I'll take note, Cypher."

Shengnai chuckled and let her go. He looked down at his medical bag, took out a small bottle of glucose and gave it to Seifer. Then he turned around and walked up the stairs on the other side.

Holding the bottle of glucose, Seifer watched her go up intently, reaching the guardrail, and the moment when the last trace of pink short hair disappeared.

In the perception, the breath belonging to Shengnai disappeared.

I even pulled up a scanning dialog box in front of me - the airlock door didn't even make a sound, how did she leave!
She stayed there for a while, until Leica came over and asked her why the connection had been disconnected for so long. She had no choice but to deal with these things first and keep the doubts in her heart.

"Wait a moment, Leica, I have something to adjust. Later I will tell you a very... valuable news."

"I see, Red Bolt. Were you hurt in the lower quarters?"

"No, we just lost some things. We should be able to get them back after this node city is recaptured."

"Well...if it's not something valuable, you can give it up if the cost outweighs the gain."

That's your own body, how can you give it up? (shocking sound)

Reassuring her that there was no need to worry, Cypher sniffed his clothes to make sure they had no odor, then quickly jumped into the jar and let it sink.

Then switch to the spare body and use the skinless body to quickly rush towards the experimental cabin!

Passing through the now-unoccupied cabins, Cypher entered the lab without hesitation, but didn't see Dr. Mei. Was she still in the bathroom?!

I quickly contacted Dr. Mei, but her reaction was quite calm. She said leisurely that an earthquake was about to strike, and the safest place for a slime like her might be the bathtub.

After all, there is water and shelter. Even if the ceiling collapses, she can wait until someone digs her out later.

I asked her to come over and help me solve a small problem, but the sound from the other end quickly fell silent.

About two minutes later, while Seifer was squatting and studying the "complex calculator" that had not yet been assembled, a "gurgling" sound similar to that of a sticky liquid came from the ventilation duct.

Translucent Dr. May flowed down from the ventilation duct grille, only a bit of mucus at the very end had a strange luster, and then she stood up in front of Cypher.

In the translucent body, that bit of light suddenly expanded, like paint spreading in water. The skin color and golden paint condensed on the irregular human figure, looking like a child's drawing.

Honestly, most people would probably empty their magazines if they saw something this weird standing up, but Cypher remained squatting. "Won't you get bored of taking a bath every day?"

"No, it's like you're collecting stamps and trying to get all kinds of girls into your car. It's addictive."

After staying for a long time, I realized that there was a reason why Dr. Mei was able to get along with the big money with his mouth.

After she had adjusted the paint almost to the desired level, she took out the transparent protective suit from the compartment, got in and put it on. The head, which had been a little irregular just now, moved a few times on the collar and quickly returned to the appearance of a normal human head.

Even the strands of her hair returned to their original state. This mimicry ability made Cypher wonder if she could change into any form.

"What do you want from me?"

Dr. Mei slowly put on her shirt and skirt, and finally put on a white coat for her work. She continued to check in the mirror to see if there were any mistakes in her facial structure.

Cypher was blunt: "I need a new holster."

"My body was left deep underground, and in order to avoid the autonomous machines in the lower areas, my skin was damaged and needs to be replenished."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Dr. Mei did what she said. She adjusted some things in front of the experimental device and instructed Cypher to put the silicone she had made out of boredom on the printing table. Right in front of him, she used multiple laser generators to cut and adjust a new leather suit.

In terms of appearance, it is no different from the previous one, and he was even given a real wig through chemical means.

In just ten minutes, the "Red Crossbow Arrow", which had theoretically been written off due to falling into a large pit, reappeared.

"It looks... different?" Cypher hesitated, reaching out and poking the soft skin. "It feels softer."

"Well, the material I adjusted for you is actually more similar to human skin. In a few days, I can add something to your face that will be more convenient."

For some reason, Dr. May seemed to have some interest in making Cypher look human.

She suddenly changed the subject: "Of course, I have a simpler way."

"Appreciate further details."

"Wouldn't it be better if you cleaned yourself up a bit and I covered your body directly?"

The first thing that came to Sefer's mind was the scene when he was fighting someone at close range and several tentacles extended from his back to tie up the opponent.

Yes, it’s a bit disgusting, but forget it.
