NIKKE, after maxing out the favorability, all the Nikkis are not right

"But it doesn't matter. Since we're here, why not do some training, brother?"

"Don't worry, I won't simulate a very difficult level for you. It will just be a little harder than usual. But with my brother's personality, he will definitely grit his teeth and challenge it, right?"

Yingke dangled her white silk feet, unable to hide the smile on her face.

"Okay, I also want to test my strength."

Green rarely refused but nodded.

Although he has been exercising diligently recently, he has not yet tapped into his potential.

Even the ability to enhance perception and slow down the flow of time that he used frequently in the past has not been used for some time. However, the strength of the heretics is getting stronger and stronger, and there are only a few of them who can lead the team to the ground.

There is no need to mention the three of them, Laby, Anis, and Nien. If they work together, it will be no problem for them to defeat most of the Tyrant-level Letchers. In extreme conditions, they can even suppress heretics for a short time, but they cannot fight against heretics for a long time.

Apart from the three of them, the only one who can be considered as a fighting force is Jillti.

It’s just that Gilti may not have any experience in dealing with Letcher, but she has plenty of ways to deal with Nikki and humans.

Of course, in addition to Gilti, there are actually some reserve forces that can be activated, such as Honglian Baixue and others, but this group of wandering Laodeng pilgrims are often missing all year round and cannot be called upon at any time, so naturally we cannot rely too much on them.

Therefore, in order not to hold the team back, he must become stronger.

"Let's start the simulation."

"Great! Brother, this time it's really difficult. I've prepared a few Letchers for you according to the standards of the strongest human. Try to blow them up, okay?"

"piece of cake."

"But I don't want to use a gun this time. Wait a minute, I'll go to the armory and find a knife that's handy."

Green turned and walked into the armory next to the simulation room.

The Ark's arsenal happened to be built next to the simulation room.

There is also an outpost base. Because it is far away from the Ark, it is suitable for storing some equipment that is not used in daily life. Therefore, there are also many old equipment piled there.

As soon as he arrived at the armory, Green saw the special forces leaning against the table and chatting with each other.

Yinhua, Bestie and Emma, three active special forces members of the Nikki Unit, the strongest unit in the Pure Land of Bliss, were talking incessantly at this moment. When they saw him coming, Emma immediately greeted him warmly.

"Commander, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Emma, Bestie, and Yinhua."

"What do you mean there's also Yinhua? Tsk, do you have to single me out for special treatment? What a third-rate way of saying it."

Yinhua rolled her eyes and suddenly said something foul, but she was still a decent person and knew that he usually didn't come here to visit: "No one comes here for no reason. You are not here to visit, are you? If you want weapons, I can give you permission to lend you two."

"But remember to return it in good condition, otherwise you will have to pay for it."

"I see. I want two handy melee weapons. Do you have any?"

"Melee weapons, what do you need that for? The Ark's arms manufacturers haven't produced melee weapons in a long time."

Yinhua asked with some confusion.

"Yinhua, you should know that there are wandering pilgrims on the surface. I've seen a swordsman before. She used her sword to kill Letchers as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. So I think Letchers may not have evolved their armor to be suitable for close combat weapons like swords. Therefore, as long as there is a sharp enough sword, it is theoretically possible to cut through the armor of most Letchers."

"Hmm... is that so? It's an interesting point, but I don't think fighting Letcher in close quarters is a good idea."

Yinhua pondered for a moment, then retorted, "Let's not talk about how we're going to get through Letcher's energy weapon and reach it. Secondly, even if we do get close, how are we going to cut down some large Letchers?"

"Those Tyrant-class Letchers are often several meters tall, or even dozens of meters tall. If you encounter a giant Letcher like that, charging at them brandishing a sword is like giving them a pedicure or massage."

"So, guns are always the most reliable. As for those melee weapons, they can only be used as a surprise weapon at best."

"But since you asked, I'll pick one for you."

Yinhua rummaged through the armory and randomly picked out an old alloy sword and handed it to Green: "Didn't you have a sword before? I saw you often wearing it on your waist, cosplaying as a swordsman. To be honest, it was a bit funny."

"Because it was a weapon given by a friend, after much deliberation, I finally put it in my bedroom as a collection."

"Well, that's fine too."

"This alloy sword is probably over ninety years old, so it's considered an antique. I saw in its description that it's made of the same material as Nikki's core, making it extremely hard. Its previous owner used it to slay several Tyrant-class Letchers. However, since the Ark abolished all melee research and disbanded most of its units, the sword has been retired."

Yinhua explained.

"What about its previous owner?"

Green asked back.

"I don't know where she's gone. Maybe she's dead, retired, or maybe she's still hiding somewhere on the Ark or on the surface, living a comfortable life. For someone like Nikki, who has a long lifespan, sometimes it's hard for us to feel the passage of time."

"Really? It's a shame this fine sword has been gathering dust in this armory for so long."

"However, now that it has fallen into my hands, I will not let it down."

Green pulled out the alloy sword, glanced at its sharp blade, then put it back in and put it neatly around his waist.

"Although the sword is a strange weapon for Nikki, for a human like me, it is a very effective means of self-defense and offense."

"Thanks, Yinhua, is there anything else you need me to know?"

"Commander, we were just discussing the strange incident at the armory."

Emma chuckled and suddenly interrupted, "Speaking of which, do you know the seven incredible events at the outpost?"

306

Chapter 306: Bestie’s little troubles.

"Another classic ghost story segment?"

"Tell me about it."

"I hope this story isn't so horrific that it keeps me awake at night."

Green tilted his head slightly and said.

He was no longer surprised by the fact that this world was often haunted.

Maybe it's because the Ark has always been underground and has a heavy yin energy, so there are always some ghost stories circulating widely... Although from a scientific point of view, if ghosts really exist, then death may not be something that people take seriously.

"Ahem, Commander, let me, let me speak."

Bestie, the crybaby who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke timidly: "Commander, do you know about talking guns?"

"A talking gun, a gun equipped with tactical AI? Has Ark ever produced such a weapon?"

Green frowned and thought for a moment, but had no impression.

At least in his memory, most of Nikki's sidearms were common kinetic weapons.

Looking at the entire Ark, perhaps only those in Missilis's Metis Army can use energy weapons such as energy cannons and electromagnetic cannons. There is no other way, since Shuen's family is wealthy, she can naturally afford to squander it.

Bestie nodded and suddenly whispered, "Actually, Ark has done research on this before."

"And it happened a long, long time ago. Although it's just hearsay and its authenticity needs to be verified, it doesn't sound fake."

"Is it so mysterious? Tell me about it."

"Let me think about it. It was probably during the first ground reconquest that Ark developed a batch of talking guns. These guns were quite powerful. They could automatically aim and reload, and could even communicate directly with the user based on the current situation and conduct tactical analysis."

"Sounds impressive, doesn't it? But... I heard that the raw materials for these guns are actually humans."

When Bestie said this, he couldn't help but clench his fists guiltily and glanced at the dark interior of the armory.

After seeing no unusual movements, she continued in a low voice, "Ark used a method similar to that used to create Nikki, stuffing these people into guns and turning them into living weapons. While these guns are truly powerful, this inhumane human experiment was eventually exposed by the media."

"Since then, all research projects on these talking guns have been abandoned, and the living guns that were once created have been piled deep in the armory, never to be used again..."

"But because they are talking and thinking guns, and they haven't seen humans for years, they will inevitably go crazy from loneliness."

"So, in order not to be abandoned and forgotten, when you wander alone in the depths of the armory, you may hear their voices..."

"Please, don't abandon me, let me out, don't leave me here alone!"

Accompanied by a faint sigh, a hollow and shrill voice suddenly came from the depths of the armory, continuing Besty's words.

Although there were four people present, the chill still rose up through their trouser legs.

Bestie's already pale face turned even paler with fear. "Then, who was speaking? Commander, it wasn't you who was speaking just now, was it?"

Green shook his head: "I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything."

Emma: "That's not what I said."

Yinhua snorted and said, "I don't believe in ghost stories, so it definitely wasn't me who said that."

Bestie took a deep breath and said quickly, "Let's leave quickly. This place is too gloomy. If we stay here any longer, something terrible might happen."

"Leaving now?"

Green had some opinions: "Don't you want to go and take a look, everyone? What if the maintenance worker is trapped in the armory? Isn't that a possibility?"

"impossible."

"The Arsenal is a strategic location on the Ark. Normally, only we and some Elysian Pure Land support personnel oversee it. Furthermore, the place you're going to is a scrap warehouse deep within the Arsenal. As a rule, we generally won't touch anything there."

Yinhua shook his head and explained, "It's usually used to store long-abandoned equipment and devices. Because they might be worth further research, they're not all sent to the landfill for disposal. But it's still a very dangerous place. Last time, I heard that a newbie accidentally stumbled in and touched equipment that leaked toxic waste."

"Needless to say, the result is obvious. I heard from others that the guy was hospitalized for six months before regaining some consciousness, but he still suffered a permanent illness. He'll probably need intubation for the rest of his life. In short, I advise you not to go in and search rashly."

"Since Yinhua has said so, let's go quickly."

Green glanced at the dark arsenal warehouse behind him.

What on earth exists in there?

Did the so-called talking gun really exist, or was it just an auditory hallucination? He didn't want to delve into it.

When living in a place like the Ark, it is better to curb your curiosity. If you accidentally see or hear something that cannot be told as a secret, it may be dealt with silently one day.

Putting aside the thoughts in his mind and returning to the evening streets, Green casually asked: "Yinhua, Emma, Bestie, what are your plans next?"

"What other plans can there be? It's nothing more than carrying out various tasks."

Yinhua twisted his slightly aching wrist and complained, "Recently, public opinion in the Ark has been turbulent. Nikki and the issue of women's rights and responsibilities have become a hot topic. There have been all kinds of online verbal battles, and some people have even resorted to violence. To ensure street safety, our mission has become more difficult. If you have time, please don't be idle and help us share some of the pressure, okay?"

"After all, you're the legendary commander known as the second generation of the Morning Star. Can you please make a difference? Say something nice to calm the situation in front of the newspaper reporters, how about that?"

"Morning Star... this name isn't very auspicious."

Green frowned slightly and said, "Yinhua, it's not that I don't want to say it, but you will never be able to convince those whose interests are inconsistent with yours."

"Besides, you also know the charm of journalism."

"If I say anything wrong, my name and title will appear in the newspapers the next day: 'Traitor Commander of the Outpost' or something like that."

"In this kind of environment, no matter how much you say, it's better to do it silently."

"Since you have your own ideas, I won't say much. I know you're a man of action, but don't feel satisfied with what you've done. Cheer up. There's still a long way to go. Don't let me down."

Yinhua nodded and didn't force him to do anything.

However, her slightly weighty speech caught the attention of Bestie and Emma.

"Hey~ Since when did Yinhua and the Commander become so close?"

Emma smiled and jokingly said, "You two were obviously at odds before, so why is Yinhua speaking up for the Commander now?"

"Yinhua, you have such small breasts, but you always talk big."

Bestie clenched her fists and spoke arrogantly in a weak voice.

"..."

When Yinhua heard Bestie say that her breasts were small, her eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

This guy Bestie always criticizes Yinhua's breasts for no reason.

Although he was very unhappy, Yinhua did not dare to speak loudly.

Because she couldn't beat Bestie.

Although Bestie is the shortest and looks the youngest in the special forces, she is actually the strongest Nikki in the special forces. Especially when she goes crazy and kills with red eyes, it seems that she is going to tear even her teammates apart.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"I'm leaving now, you guys can chat."

In order to ease the embarrassment, Yinhua turned around and left without hesitation.

Looking at her decisive back as she left, Green smiled.
