Volume 14: Devastation Chapter 659 Aphrodite
Among all the women Ke Lan had ever met, only the "inhuman creature" Ze Luo could compete with her in terms of beauty.
But the essence of the two is different... Ze Luo's appearance will be fine-tuned according to Ke Lan's preferences for the opposite sex deep in his brain. The appearance presented may not be the most beautiful, but it must be Ke Lan's favorite, and the one in front of him...
She represents the purest beauty.
"Aphrodite...I should call you that, right?"
"Yes, Chiron." The other party nodded slightly.
"My name is Ke Lan." Ke Lan couldn't help but frown. The name Chiron always reminded him of the giant mountain of flesh that was rotting and dying on the "Sick Village" space station.
"The name is just a code name. When you inherited Chiron's seat, you also inherited this code name." Aphrodite said.
"Then can I understand that... the members of the Undead Crew have actually been rotated for several terms?" Ke Lan's mind moved, "You... or some of you, are not the first to use these code names."
"Yes." Aphrodite admitted readily.
"So, there is an information gap between the members of the Undead Crew. The later you join, the less you know... and I know almost nothing." Ke Lan shrugged. "Even if the main archive is right in front of me, it's hard for me to find what I want in it."
Ke Lan didn't think that the incredibly beautiful Undead Crew Club member in front of her would help her - although she voted in favor of her joining the Crew Club, she was a member of the opposition on the resolution to share intelligence.
To Ke Lan, Demeter and others, she is a member of the "opposing camp".
Judging from the results of Ke Lan's analysis just now, the opposition must know more secrets than those who support intelligence sharing, and they have been members of the Undead Crew for a longer time.
If that resolution is not passed, the information gap between the two camps will never be eliminated.
"Why are you here?" Ke Lan asked, "You are not here to mock me, are you?"
"No, I'm here to help you." Aphrodite's answer was somewhat unexpected to Ke Lan.
"What did you say……?!"
"You can ask the core brain. I think it may tell you the answer...part of the answer." Aphrodite said slowly.
"The Ark's core brain... is right here?" Ke Lan said in astonishment.
As the main body of the Ark's highest-level intelligent control system and the most sophisticated supercomputer in human history, the specific location of the Ark's core brain has always been a mystery. Except for the members of the Undead Crew, no one knows where this supercomputer is hidden.
"Not far." Aphrodite said.
This answer was within Ke Lan's expectations. The Black Well was located at the border between the North District 1 and the Central Core District... No matter how well the core brain was hidden, it must be located within the Central Core District. In terms of physical distance, it was indeed "not far away."
"I can take you there." Aphrodite said again, "The core brain's computer room requires at least two members of the Undead Crew to enter together. You can't go in alone."
"Okay...thank you." Ke Lan nodded to her.
Although he really wanted to ask Aphrodite why she wanted to help him, now was obviously not the best time to ask this question - the other party's purpose and motives were still unclear, and all Ke Lan could do was to wait and see.
Led by Aphrodite, the two walked through countless shelves filled with anti-magnetic boxes and came to a high wall that seemed to have no top.
Along the way, Ke Lan silently counted his steps - a total of 24,450 steps. His body, which was strengthened to almost the peak of human strength by the living armor, could accurately control the length of each step to 0.5 meters. If the depth of this general archive was measured by the number of steps, it would be almost 12,000 meters.
Although he didn't know when this data would come in handy, Ke Lan still kept it in mind.
"Behind this wall is the core brain's computer room." Aphrodite said.
Her voice was very pleasant to hear, and unlike most members of the Undead Crew, which had an innate majesty and indifference, her voice was an ethereal girlish voice, like a guzheng, and could not help but remind people of the unique crisp sound of raindrops falling into a jade plate.
Even though this was just a cyborg made of mechanical and bionic materials, and even though Ke Lan hadn't figured out whether he was a friend or an enemy, he had to admit that getting along with the sixth member of the crew club made people feel instinctively happy and comfortable.
Ke Lan subconsciously took a deep breath... He almost realized that he was almost bewitched by this "woman" just now.
This is not normal at all... I can even resist Ze Luo's "temptation", so there is no reason why I would be fascinated by a cyborg.
Could it be that the other party was using some little tricks in secret that she was not aware of? If so, what was her purpose?
Honey trap? Trying to pull me onto their side?
Ke Lan quickly thought back to her own "young lady" and tried to push Aphrodite's perfect face out of her mind.
At the same time, dozens of kilometers away, Sofia Soma, who was processing documents on the top floor of the "Silver Building", felt her nose itchy for no reason and sneezed subconsciously.
"Miss, are you okay?" Caroline, the chief assistant and temporary security director of the Silver Building, asked nervously, "Maybe you caught a cold? Do you need me to call the medical staff over?"
"No...it's okay." Zofia waved her hand, " My nose just itched a little bit."
"The air conditioner is set to 25 degrees, and your daughter is wearing a suit jacket and trousers. How could she catch a cold?" The hound behind the table on the other side raised his head and said with a smile, "According to me, it's probably that little bastard Ke Lan is...missing you."
Lao Gou originally wanted to say, "It's probably that little bastard Ke Lan who is eyeing the young lady's body," but fortunately, he changed the second half of the sentence as soon as he said it.
"He... he should be busy with more important things now." Thinking of Ke Lan, a blush appeared on Sofia's fair face. Just before Ke Lan left the Silver Building and headed for Heijing, the two had a "deep exchange" in Sofia's car...
"That guy went to check some things." The Hound smacked his lips and hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Something that only members have the authority to view."
