This caused Burnim great anxiety.
After all, even for a high-ranking deputy commander like him, being assigned a dedicated Nikki was already a great honor. Ark's AI, Alnic, would definitely not give him another one, because Nikki was Ark's property, and any attempt to privately possess her would be considered a potential danger.
Although Burnim also has the power to order other Nikki troops to do things for him, if they feel unhappy or feel that these things go against their original intentions, the Nikkis will also resist.
Therefore, it seems that "Exclusive Nikki" is very important.
"Could it be that Barbielong has really disappeared?"
Burnim was in a state of panic.
A mysterious phone call suddenly came in.
"This number is... Barbielon?"
"Thank God, she finally has news!" Burnim excitedly answered the phone, but the voice on the other end was elegant yet slightly sarcastic: "Good afternoon, sir. You are the deputy commander of the Ark, Mr. Burnim, right?"
"This voice... who are you?"
"Where's Barbielon?" Burnim's face broke out in sweat as he heard the slightly sarcastic voice on the phone. "What did you do to her?"
"You mean Miss Barbilong? She's visiting me right now." Dorothy glanced at Barbilong, whose face was filled with numbness and helplessness, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, she's safe and sound now."
"However, this safety is not permanent. In other words, Barbielong's personal safety will depend on your next choices and answers."
"No matter who you are, let her go." Burnim pleaded with a bitter face: "She is just Nikki, she did nothing wrong."
"You're right, she's just Nikki, and she really enjoys life in Paradise. Other than that, she's done nothing wrong." Dorothy chuckled. "Then, let's get straight to the point."
"As the deputy commander of the Ark, what can you give me?"
"Before answering this question, I would like to confirm your identity."
"Who are you?" Burnim asked solemnly.
"According to Ark's official statement, Ark will call all Nikkis who wander the surface and fight against Letcher pilgrims. I am one of them." Dorothy said, "But please rest assured, I came to Ark to make a deal with sincerity."
"You should know what I have."
"S-So, you are the owner of the optical camouflage technology?"
"Yes."
"With this technology, Ark will be able to establish its second base on Earth. This is clearly a tremendous gift for Ark," Dorothy said with a smile. "But I still have the same question: what can you give me?"
"W-what do you want?"
"Ark can't give you too much. After all, according to policy, we rarely trade with pilgrims on the ground because we don't know your intentions, and we don't know whether you come with good intentions or bad intentions." Burnim said in a deep voice.
"Whether it's good intentions or bad, perhaps we'll find out soon enough. But before I propose my terms, I want to visit the Ark." Dorothy concealed her true intentions. "But please believe me, I come here with sincerity."
"I will hand over the optical camouflage technology to the Ark and then discuss my needs with you. Of course, all this will have to wait until I arrive at the Ark."
"You want to come and see?"
"Yes, yes."
"But I still have to remind you that the Ark hasn't had contact with pilgrims for a long time. So, what are you here for?" Burnim keenly noticed Dorothy's intention.
"I'll tell you about my intentions later. I just have one question. Will you keep our agreement?"
"Okay, but can you bring Barbie back with you?"
"That depends on your performance, but I can assure you that she is alive and well, Barbielon. Say hello to your boss."
"B-Barbilon?"
"Yes, I'm here." Finally allowed to talk on the phone, Barbielong's voice sounded helpless: "Lord Burnim, I'm living well in Eden. There's water and electricity here, and life is very leisurely. Please don't worry too much about me~"
"Well, I'm glad you're okay."
"Have you guys talked enough?" Dorothy interrupted the conversation and said calmly, "That's the end of our conversation. See you back at the Ark. Oh, I think I forgot to introduce myself."
"My name is Dorothy, and I'm the diplomatic goodwill ambassador of Eden."
"Okay, okay, Dorothy, we'll wait for you at the Ark."
"Then it's settled."
beep.
After hanging up the call with Fang Zhou, Dorothy handed the phone to Barbielon.
Barbielong stared at the ruthless young lady in front of her with resentment and pleaded, "Please, you've locked me up for so long, can't you really let me go back? I promise I won't tell Fang Zhou a thing!"
"You want to go back?"
"It seems like there's a deputy commander at the Ark who cares deeply about you. If he cares about you so much, Eden can't let you go back." Dorothy sneered coldly, "I really like the feeling of holding the cards, especially when dealing with the Ark's human leaders."
“Ah…”
"Dorothy, do you really think I'm an important person? I'm just a social animal, a Nikki who works hard for the Ark. Do you have to treat me so badly? Besides, we are the same kind. Nikkis should help each other, right?" Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Barbielong sighed helplessly and played the emotional card.
"similar?"
"Obviously you misunderstood something. You and I are not the same kind."
"If I must say, I'm the same type of person as your boss now." Dorothy's lips curled into a mocking smile as she continued to threaten, "For the next few days, please stay in Paradise and don't even think about escaping."
"Not only does Paradise Nikki have the ability to fly at Mach speed, but we also never care about any of the Ark's regulations. Even if it's Nimph, we have ways to circumvent it."
"So, whether it's Nikki or a human, anyone who doesn't follow the rules of paradise will be quietly dealt with."
"Now, do you understand what I mean?"
Chapter 4000 Anis: How Far Is Forever? ()
"Commander, it's too late."
Night falls.
In front of Xinlong Cinema, in the city of Ark.
Anis, who had dressed up carefully for this date, had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Today, she is like a mountain flower full of vitality. The light yellow T-shirt and jeans, matched with the sunglasses on her head, give people a feeling of energetic girlishness.
The movie hadn't started yet, but Anis had already arrived twenty minutes early.
It is said that love can change a person. With Anis's lazy and negative personality, she would never show up early for any kind of party. Arriving on time was already a courtesy. But today, for this date, she arrived twenty minutes early.
Maybe this is what they mean, love makes people hardworking.
"Hey, Anis, have you been waiting for a long time?" With the roar of a motorcycle, Green jumped off the car and patted the dust on his body. In order to go to the date tonight, he took off the heavy uniform and changed into a slim windbreaker. Although it was not a particularly trendy style, his appearance was there. His straight body and handsome face were already the best outfit.
Seeing how attentive he was, Anis's eyes lit up. "Commander, you're dressed quite fashionably today. Did you dress up especially for me?"
Green smiled and nodded, "Of course it's for you. You can't dress too sloppily when you go out, right?"
"Well, I don't think you need to dress so handsomely. You are already very handsome. If you dress up a little more, there will be so many women staring at you on the street." Anis glanced at the two female students passing by. The way they frequently glanced sideways and had eager expressions had already made it clear to everyone that they wanted to approach and strike up a conversation.
But it's a pity.
Tonight, no one can snatch her from her hands except the all-knowing and all-powerful Lady Anis.
Anis came forward and took Green's arm sweetly, and the two of them walked into the cinema together.
"Hello, here are our movie tickets."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The receptionist at the cinema checked the two people's movie tickets, but when she found Anis's ticket, her face suddenly changed, and then she handed the ticket back: "Sorry, I'm afraid we can't accommodate this female guest."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Anis frowned.
"It's not interesting."
"This is our boss's rule. Our cinema won't accept any Nikkis." The receptionist's expression grew increasingly cold, and even a hint of contempt lingered in her eyes. "If you accept this, we'll give you a full refund."
Although I don’t know how the receptionist discovered that Anis was Nikki, judging from her attitude, it seemed that she was determined not to let Anis in to watch the movie.
"Is it necessary for you to discriminate against Nikki like this?" Green patted Anis's shoulders gently a few times to comfort her who was a little angry.
"Yes, of course it is necessary."
"My daughter was taken away by the central government and transformed into a monster like you." The lady at the front desk stared at Anis, her eyes filled with hatred. "My daughter is dead. The Ark just created a tin man with her name. I will never admit that you and humans are the same species! You too, in my eyes, are nothing more than a tin monster made of code in human skin!"
"......"
"Then what are you? A higher-level organism made up of a bunch of cells?" Green was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "It's ridiculous. Nikki, constructed from code, just wants to watch a movie, while a human made of cells is filled with hatred and wants to expel her. It's hard to say who's the inferior one."
"you!"
The receptionist swallowed.
Her mind, which had long been overwhelmed by hatred, obviously did not support her in making any excuses.
She could only slam the table in anger and shout, "I don't care what you say, get out. No matter what the reason, no matter what the cause, this cinema will never accept Nikki! Ever!"
When she said this.
Anis did not seem very angry. She seemed to have long been accustomed to such treatment. After all, since the failure of the Second Ground Reconquest War, Nikki's status had fallen to the bottom.
The Ark's top management easily divided the two groups, Nikki and humans, trapping them each in an information cocoon, unable to understand each other, and even often spreading hate speech, continuously controlling Nikki and the general public in this way.
Since then, many people in the Ark have begun to extremely hate Nikki, just like the one in front of them, and there are quite a few of them. Nikki, like Anis, has long been accustomed to being suddenly AOEed from time to time.
"Okay, then don't look at it."
"I don't have to watch a movie here." Anis, who always had a hot temper, closed her eyes this time and said with a hint of helplessness, pulling Green towards the outside of the cinema: "Come on, Commander, let's find the next one."
But she couldn't shake his pace.
Green stared at the receptionist in front of him. After a quiet silence, he said, "Ma'am, do you know what my job is? I'm a soldier. I fight on the ground with Nikki all year round. The total number of Letchers killed by my troops is probably more than the amount of salt you've eaten in your life."
"So, you might as well think about it again."
"While you were enjoying your peaceful daily life in the Ark, who was shouldering that heavy responsibility for you?"
"While you still have the energy to discriminate, who is fighting bloody battles for you against foreign enemies?"
"It's no exaggeration to say that every Nikki in my army is infinitely more noble than a narrow-minded person like you, and yet you humiliated her in front of me." Green reached out and slammed his hand on the table. "Do you think I'd just walk away like that?"
"Apologise to her."
"......"
The receptionist seemed frightened by Green.
She probably didn't dare to offend Green, who was a soldier, but even so, she still held her neck high and acted like she would rather die than apologize, as if Anis had provoked her first.
Anis took a look at her dead pig-like appearance and couldn't help but sigh.
She tugged at Green's collar again and advised, "Commander, don't bother with her. I don't take her words to heart."
"Annis, I told you."
"From the moment you joined the strike force, no one has dared to say that to you in front of me." Green stared at the receptionist's increasingly pale face. Speaking of stubbornness, there was probably no one in the world more stubborn than him. "Ma'am, you shouldn't say that to her. Nikki, this person beside me, is incredibly important and cherished to me. I won't use my status and position to oppress you. I only have one proposal."
"You apologize to her for me."
Make your own suggestions word for word.
Green's torture continued relentlessly.
Anis looked at him arguing for herself. She pursed her lips, and for some reason, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
Nothing can make people tear up more than having an omnipotent person stand up and speak up for you when you are wronged, especially when the grievance has accumulated for a long time.
Even someone like Anis, who is sentimental, negative, decadent and dark.
She also had to admit that she had fallen in love with the sun-like man in front of her a long time ago.
Anis gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and was about to say something when she heard a huge explosion in the cinema.
"Help, help!"
"There are terrorists!"
"Da da da da da da da!"
Accompanied by a burst of rifle gunfire, people scrambled out of the cinema, followed by a team of gunmen wearing bulletproof vests and holding AKs. The receptionist was frightened by the sudden scene and was at a loss what to do. However, Green and Anis looked at each other, took out the pistols at their waists, skillfully hid behind the counter, and immediately discussed tactics.
"Commander, what should we do now?" Anis pulled the safety of the pistol, loaded the magazine with a click, and then looked at Green who was also turning the safety of the pistol.
"It looks like a terrorist attack. There are men in the opposing camp, so it's unlikely to be initiated by Nikki. Here, these are suppressed bullets." Green pulled out a magazine from his arms and threw it into Anis's arms. "These bullets are specially developed by Ark. They don't have great lethality, but they can knock humans down."
"Okay, what about the battle plan?"
