Chapter 219: The Connected One (Additional Chapter for Alliance Leader Wuxie Has No Worries) (Fourth Update)

Hugh Eun twisted his head, his eyes darting left and right, dodging the moving red dot as swiftly as the wind.

Time passed second by second, and soon it reached 22 seconds. Hugh Eun was illuminated by the moving red dot, and the timer immediately froze, emitting a buzzing sound.

Su Ming watched this scene, his heart sinking to rock bottom.

At this point, Chen Ying and others went up one by one to test, achieving scores of 19S, 18S, and so on.

Finally, when it was Su Ming’s turn, he bit the bullet and walked up.

Hugh Eun and the others all stared at Su Ming, anticipating his performance.

“Start!”

Lin Jie announced as she saw Su Ming step onto the metal platform.

In an instant, all the red dots began to move. Su Ming narrowed his eyes, and all the moving red dots were imprinted in his mind.

He immediately planned his evasion route, but as soon as his body moved!

The timer froze, emitting a buzzing sound.

Su Ming looked at the timer in surprise, 0.7S. He looked at this score and fell silent.

In fact, it wasn’t just him who fell silent; Hugh Eun and the others also fell silent when they saw this score.

They had all originally considered Su Ming a strong competitor.

Lin Jie cleared her throat, breaking the awkward atmosphere, and said, “Next item!”

Soon after, all items were tested.

Hugh Eun and the others looked at Su Ming with strange eyes, completely devoid of respect. Even Xu Ze felt too embarrassed to talk to Su Ming.

They didn’t care about his identity; here, strength was all that mattered.

Su Ming was also helpless. These officers were either second-generation New Humans or had been injected with Type I genetic agents, some even Type II genetic agents, so their physical qualities simply couldn’t compare.

It seemed that the upcoming tests were out of the question.

In the viewing area.

Lin Jie held the summary of results and walked up to Liu Qing, handing it to him and saying, “Lord Liu Qing, these are the test results!”

Liu Qing took the results sheet, glanced at it, and said with great anger, “Which brain-dead idiot sent this Su Ming? His scores are like a pile of shit. Since when can trash be sent here at Xiguang Laboratory?”

Lin Jie paused slightly and said, “He wasn’t recommended in; he was invited.”

“Who?”

“Wasn’t it you?”

“Me? When did I invite him? Where’s the invitation?”

Liu Qing was so angry his lungs were about to explode.

Lin Jie then handed the invitation to Liu Qing.

He took it, opened it, and the anger on his face immediately froze. He said to Lin Jie with great difficulty, “Just pretend I didn’t say anything just now.”

“Ah? What do we do now? Should this Su Ming undergo the biological pod test? His scores are so bad, can he even be tested?”

Lin Jie was also unsure.

“He passed, he passed. Take him to the test as well.”

Liu Qing said with a dark face, waving his hand.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll arrange for them to undergo the biological test now.”

After hearing this, Lin Jie quickly withdrew.

Soon, she returned to the testing room. Hugh Eun and the others all looked at Lin Jie, eagerly asking, “Lord Lin Jie, did we pass?”

“Congratulations, everyone. You are all excellent. You have all passed now. Please follow me to the biological pod testing area.”

Lin Jie said with a smile to everyone.

Hugh Eun and the others were first delighted to hear Lin Jie’s words, then their brows furrowed, and they all looked at Su Ming.

At this moment, Major Chen Ying couldn’t help but ask, “Lord Lin Jie, did he pass too?”

“He passed!”

Lin Jie replied somewhat guiltily.

Su Ming was also very surprised to hear Lin Jie’s words. He had been prepared to be eliminated, but he didn’t expect to pass.

At this moment, a burly man in a major’s military uniform, with a short-cropped haircut, a powerful build, and a fiery temper, cursed with a face full of indignation, “Damn it, it’s actually a connected one who pulled strings! How amazing! They even made it to Xiguang Laboratory.”

“Hegas, keep your voice down!”

A companion quickly whispered a warning from the side.

Hugh Eun and the others also had grim faces. Although they didn’t openly mock Su Ming, their gaze towards him grew increasingly disdainful.

“Let’s go, everyone!”

Lin Jie also noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off, so she quickly said to everyone.

Hugh Eun and the others silently followed Lin Jie out of the room, with Su Ming awkwardly trailing at the very end.

At this moment, in the central area of the laboratory.

Dr. Blackes stood side by side with an old man whose face was covered in spots and whose teeth were almost all gone, wearing a white lab coat.

Before them was a virtual image, through which they could see a sealed metal testing room.

Inside the room were individual biological testing pods, and a military officer lay in each pod.

“The quality of this batch is good. There’s hope of screening out new 4th Generation Biological Mecha pilots.”

The old man said with satisfaction.

“Diluka, are your requirements really that low?”

Blackes replied coldly.

“Haste makes waste. Biological Mecha inherently have very stringent requirements for pilots. It’s already difficult to find compatible ones, let alone exceptionally talented ones.”

Diluka frowned and said to Blackes.

“Pedantic.”

Blackes replied unfeelingly.

Diluka’s expression immediately darkened, but he said nothing.

At this moment, Dr. Borden hurried over. He reported to Blackes, “Sir, the people have arrived! They are now heading to Biological Pod Testing Area 7.”

“Switch the video to Biological Pod Testing Area 7.”

Blackes said coldly.

“Yes!”

Celes appeared beside him, and with a flick of her slender finger, the image automatically switched to Biological Pod Testing Area 7.

At this time, Lin Jie led Su Ming and ten others to the biological pod testing area.

Everyone looked at the huge biological pods before them, each of them somewhat moved. Each of these biological pods was 4 meters long and 2 meters wide, covered with densely connected various lines, appearing very advanced and precise.

Lin Jie introduced to everyone, “This is the Xiguang Laboratory’s newly developed NSQL-01 Type Biological Testing Pod, which can simulate 99% of real biological mecha piloting scenarios. This is because the interiors of these biological pods are filled with Kirami biological tissue.”

“Filled with Kirami biological tissue?”

Hugh Eun and the others replied with solemn expressions.

“That’s right. Precisely because they are filled with Kirami biological tissue, the resulting pollution is also real. However, compared to biological mecha, they have a great advantage: they are safe and controllable. Everyone can rest assured during the test.”

Lin Jie explained professionally to everyone.

“Okay!”

Hugh Eun and the others nodded.

“Please, everyone.”

Lin Jie said to Su Ming and the others.

Su Ming took a deep breath and walked towards Biological Testing Pod 11.

Soon, he arrived in front of Biological Testing Pod 11.

Click!

The lid of the huge biological pod slowly opened, revealing a biological cockpit.

Su Ming looked at this biological cockpit and felt very familiar with it. Its structure was very similar to the villain’s cockpit in the virtual world.
