Tang Xing always thought that she was a very strong person who could survive even if she became a size 18, but she was wrong.
The reality is far crueler than she imagined. The appearance of the male Tang Xuan made her a little confused. "She" who was once a male saw her "male self" who had traveled through time. This impact of recognition made her have a different understanding of herself at this moment. doubts about its existence.
Tang Xing smiled mockingly to himself. If Tang Xing existed in the real sense, then who was she
The defense line of the soul seemed to begin to collapse at this moment. He squatted on the ground with his head lowered and helpless, holding his sleeves tightly with both hands, his wrists trembling slightly, and he did not speak for a long time.
"Tang Xing."
Tang Xing shouted softly. She couldn't help but feel worried when she saw Tang Xing squatting and not talking. She went over to help her up and looked at her frustrated expression. She wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say. Finally, Patting her shoulder gently.
"I'm fine!"
Coldly shaking off his hand, Tang Xing lowered his head, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes firmly, and then walked away with an indifferent expression. As if to protect the last trace of dignity, she stayed away, sealed her heart tightly, and then struggled alone in the darkness.
Tang Xuan opened her mouth and looked at Tang Xing's lonely back. Something was wrong in her heart but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
"She must feel uncomfortable!" Tang Yun sighed silently. "Leave her alone." He shook his head and muttered a few words, then glanced at the large core computer in the center that was constantly "buzzing".
"Is this Dr. Gallo's underground base?" Tang Yun's heart moved.
Several tentacle-like pipes extend from the upper end of the computer, followed by a glass culture chamber filled with green liquid. There is a creature that looks like an insect larva suspended in the culture chamber.
"Saru!"
Tang Yuan exclaimed as she looked at the life form in the petri dish, and then a flash of awe-inspiring killing intent flashed in her eyes.
That insect life form is the Sarru larvae, and it is indeed an ugly guy. Tang Xuan sneered, raised her arm towards the biological petri dish, and the glittering light flashed twice on her fingertips.
"call out!"
A bright red light flashed, and the glass culture chamber in which the Shalu larvae were cultivated suddenly exploded. Green liquid poured out and dripped along the fractured surface of the glass.
At this time, Tang Xing came quietly and saw a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes when he saw Qigong waves coming out of Tang Yun's hand.
"how did you do it."
"I don't know, I used it naturally. Well, it seems that we need to study our own power and master the use of power as soon as possible." Tang Yuan looked at his fingers and touched his chin.
Tang Xing nodded coldly. Androids 17 and 18 themselves have very huge power, and this power will never exhaust, which also means that they will never feel tired and are always at their peak condition.
It's just that for Tang Xuan and the others, this kind of power is still very unfamiliar, and it will take some time for them to get familiar with it when it takes over their bodies.
"It's a pity that this power cannot be improved!" Tang Xing thought of something and said. The inability to increase strength is the most obvious flaw of artificial humans.
The Dragon Ball world is an extremely competitive world. If you can't keep up with the rhythm, you will quickly become a sidekick. Just imagine how it feels when the protagonist of the original work is still working hard to become stronger, but he can only stand still. Especially knowing that more terrifying enemies will appear later, this kind of loss is even more disappointing. It’s hard for people to accept.
They don't want to be like Leping and Tianjin Fan, struggling hard behind Sun Wukong and the others, but never seeing the end of the road ahead.
The quality of the artificial humans is extremely high, but it will only be a matter of time before they are surpassed by Sun Wukong and the others. At least that's how it's portrayed in the original novel.
Suddenly, Tang Xing frowned and asked, "The base is so abandoned. Is Dr. Gallo dead?"
According to the impression in my mind, No. 17 and No. 18 should have woken up at the beginning of the Android chapter and then killed Dr. Gallo, but the situation seems to have changed a little now. Judging from the messy appearance of this base, it must have been abandoned for a long time, and the place where they woke up was not the Northern Glacier Research Institute mentioned in the original work, but an underground research laboratory located underground.
What happened, and why did it deviate from the original work? Is it because of the butterfly effect caused by their arrival? But this change is too drastic. It’s unlikely that the butterfly effect would have started happening before they arrived. That’s ridiculous.
Tang Yun picked up the information scattered around and after looking at it, his expression became a little strange.
"What's wrong?"
"Look at this." He handed Tang Xing several pieces of information recording the research results, including several diary records.
"It turns out that before Dr. Gallo created us (bodies) and No. 16, he also created No. 13, 14 and 15. However, they betrayed Dr. Gallo not long after they were created and hunted Dr. Gallo everywhere. . Later, Dr. Gallo hid in the underground research laboratory and began to develop new artificial humans. We were born after the failure of No. 16... "
But Dr. Gallo was unlucky. When he went out to look for research equipment after the completion of No. 17 and No. 18, he was killed by No. 13 and others who came to his door.
"The diary only records the days when Dr. Gallo left. If he hasn't come back after so many years, he may have died in their hands on the 13th."
"Android No. 13, No. 14, No. 15!"
Tang Yuan frowned. He had seen these three androids in Dragon Ball the Movie. Their strength was not very good. They were about the same as ordinary Super Saiyans. They couldn't beat Trunks. What deserves his attention is Super No. 13, which evolved after absorbing the energy packs of No. 14 and No. 15. His strength is probably not much worse than that of No. 16.
In other words, even if he teamed up with Tang Xing, he might not be a match for Super No. 13.
Of course, this is all assuming that Super No. 13 exists.
Tang Xuan didn't know what the outside world had become, or whether Super No. 13 had appeared.
It's better to be cautious in everything.
"It's better to get familiar with the power in the body quickly!" Tang Xuan rubbed his head. The artificial man could not improve its power and could only make up for it through skills.
"Tang Xing, it seems we can't go out rashly yet!"
"Um."
Next, Tang Yuan looked at the stack of documents in her hand, raised her lips slightly, and then started to rummage through the boxes, and soon collected another thick stack of documents.
Tang Xing stared blankly at first. After all, the two of them had the same roots and the same way of thinking. She quickly understood what Tang Xing meant, and silently pushed open the cabinets one by one to look for useful things.
As the creator of artificial humans, Dr. Gallo's wisdom is extraordinary. Like Bulma's father, Dr. Breeves, they both represent the most advanced technological fields on earth. It's just that Dr. Gallo's wisdom was not used on the right path. For more than ten years, he only wanted to kill Sun Wukong, who destroyed the Red Ribbon Army.
He is an almost paranoid villain.
But the research information he left behind is very valuable and is very helpful in understanding the structure and even mechanism of artificial humans.
Tang Xuan was barely engaged in computer research in her previous life. Her skills were not very high, and even a fluent reader could understand some of the points.
After placing the documents neatly, Tang Xuan walked around the research room again and found an escalator in the corner of another room in the research room.
Looking at the vertical escalator, Tang Yun stepped up.
"Going up from here should be Dr. Gallo's research institute in the northern glacial mountains. I just wonder if there will be someone guarding it?"
"Dr. Gallo has been dead for several years. It is impossible for an android to be so patient and guard it." Tang Xing thought for a while.
Tang Yun thought it was right. After taking two steps, she turned back to Tang Xing and said, "You stay here for now. I'll go up and take a look. I'll call you when everything is alright!"
Tang Xing silently agreed to Tang Yun's arrangement, but she didn't like it. Tang Yun's kindness in taking care of her would only make her look more redundant.
After watching Tang Yuan climb up the escalator, Tang Xing found an open space to sit down, lifted his chin with his hands and rested it on his knees, thinking quietly about his future.
Where does she go from here
Not long after, Tang Yun came down again and gave her a thumbs up, "The top is also abandoned."
