78. Chapter 78
The more you go to the back world, the more lonely you feel.
I don't know when it started, when a person has nothing to do, he will always be slightly sad. At the beginning, I was very uncomfortable, but I was not emotional, I was annoyed, I was helpless, but I was not lonely.
Maybe it's really related to memories.,When I didn't remember anything before.,Because I didn't understand what it's like to be accompanied.,So also.
Really, Li Yao secretly spit on himself, and began to be hypocritical again, why do you want to do this, a man can't be lonely and lonely every day.
"So you're a little self-aware. β
"yesβ"
Unexpectedly, Goudan'er appeared, but this time Li Yao did not quarrel with it.
In fact, the dog will always divert his attention like this, and now that I think about it, such a disgusting and effective way is really gentle.
"Wait, what disgusting words are you using to describe me?"
Ah, I forgot that the dog could read his thoughts, Li Yao skipped this and went straight to the point: "Where did you go before?"
"As you can see, the technology of this world is very advanced, and the island you are on has a special magnetic field that can affect me, and something went wrong when it first loaded. β
"Are you okay now?"
"It's okay, shouldn't you be happy if something happens to me?"
Li Yao rarely heard Goudan'er's expression contain ~ self-awareness, and he felt very novel: "Ah, yes, I'm very happy, but my memory is still in you. γ
"Let me tell you a little bit about the background of this world. "First of all, this novel is very long, it was created during the Fourth Technological Revolution, the rise of the theory of technological threats, and its author abstracted and personified humanistic revivalism, creating the artistic form of the beast race"
"Hey, I need to know all this stuff too?"
"They help you understand the world, because it's a special shape and setting. Your identity must have been clear, you are a thief who stole the protagonist out of the real room, whether it is in the original text or in this world, you have an important meaning, that is, to influence the composition of the protagonist's worldview. In the original text, the thief's evil behavior not only makes the protagonist hate humans, but also makes him ruthless and murderous. β
"That me"
"I'm not here, but I can probably understand how you raised him, and he should be closer to humans now. β
"Oh no!" Li Yao thought of the escape that day, and his heart ached, "I don't think he likes humans anymore." γ
Goudan'er didn't ask, but said: "That's good, it's more in line with the plot, and it will be easier to achieve the goal of the original text." β
"What's the goal?"
"Let the humans and the orcs all perish you have to listen to the background, I'll say it again. β
"When this book was written, it was a hot day, and the author used these avatars to remind people not to be confused by the convenience in front of them and not see the future clearly. The protagonist of this book is a machine person who can think for himself, and at the same time, he is also the leader of the machine people. The orcs wanted to destroy the self-machine, and the humans had to invent the self-machine in order to deal with the powerful orcs, but the final outcome was that the machine-qΓ¬ people were dissatisfied with the command of the humans and eliminated the humans, and the orcs were also disheartened because of the failure of the mission, lost their faith, and finally perished. β
"You're saying that all orcs and humans are going to die?"
"Not necessarily, you just need to push the plot to an irreversible Cheng dΓΉ to complete the mission. β
"So, what happened to Yang Ming after he was taken away by those people?"
"Transformation, brainwashing. β
"Is it brainwashing?"
"Humans think they can delete the protagonist's memories in the same way that they delete Wen JiΓ n, but they don't, which only increases the protagonist's antipathy towards humans. They made the protagonist more powerful, and began to mass-produce the main character-like machine qΓ¬ people. β
"Is that virtual idol who looks the same as Yang Ming a coincidence or?"
"It was designed a long time ago to get closer to the people. The ego machine qΓ¬ person is a strict contraband, and suddenly changing the people's perception will be detrimental to the government, so it is just a prop to shorten the time for the people to accept it, he is so popular, too many people hope that he can really have his own consciousness, which is the same as the function of the self machine qΓ¬ person. β
Li Yao didn't expect that there was such a far-reaching scheme hidden under this matter, and this world was really far more complicated than he thought.
"When you have time, figure it out for yourself and think about how you can complete the task. Don't forget what I told you before, stupidly wasting your feelings in"
"I've wasted it, I can't get it back. γ
ββ
"There's no way around it," Li Yao smiled bitterly, "It's not that being cold can mean being cold, even if I know it's all empty in the end, I can't help but I just can't help it." γ
Goudan'er's voice was very cold: "Do you know that you will pay for it again and again?"
"Well, I know so. γ
Li Yao thought that the dog would say something derogatory, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see him say anything.
"Dogs?"
He disappeared again. Li Yao sighed, he knew that Goudan was caring about him, but he really couldn't do it without intersecting with anyone, especially Yang Ming.
He heard the door being pushed open, but he wasn't as nervous as he had been, probably knowing that there was a dog. Although he doesn't usually come out, he is never absent when he is needed.
Zed carried a wooden basin with a few cloth bags on his shoulders, and laboriously lowered the wooden basin on the round table next to the bed, and let out a sigh.
Li Yao's hearing deteriorated very much, and his voice couldn't help but become louder: "Your name is Zed, right?"
"Yes. Zed replied with a raised voice, then soaked two strips of cloth in the barrel.
"Why are you helping me?"
The five senses of the beast clan are already sensitive, and Zede's race is a fennec fox with excellent hearing, listening to Li Yao's deliberately expanded voice, he felt like thunder, and his ears were buzzing.
He directly rolled the two strips of cloth into two balls, plugged his ears, and replied to him: "I have just come of age, and rescuing you is my first mission, and we save you because you still have some value, after all, you are the first contact of the real yΓ n body, do you understand the meaning?"
Li Yao didn't hear it too clearly, but he could probably understand what he meant, so it seemed that he was lucky, no matter what the reason, he should be grateful for this "zed".
"Come and sit on the edge of the bed," Zed had just finished speaking, remembering that he couldn't see, so he pulled him directly to the side of the bed, knotted two strips of cloth soaked in medicinal juice, wrapped them around his eyes, and then took the strips of cloth from his ears and wrapped another layer around them.
After being entangled, I didn't feel any changes, the nerves in my eyes were necrotic, I couldn't feel pain or anything else, and the skin around me was just feeling the coolness of dampness and dampness.
It was pitch black before, and it was pitch black afterward. His sense of light was always strong, and he could see things in a faint light even on a particularly dark night, which was rare, but it felt much more natural when he was blindfolded.
"The medicine you use is mainly fermented by the leaves of the West Asian tree, I got you a pot, put it on the table, I covered it with a lid for a while, the length of fermentation time also has an impact on the effect, and when it is fully fermented, the medicine will almost run out, and your eyes will be good." β
"I see, thank you. β
Zede hugged his bent ear in pain: "If you really want to thank me, just speak quietly, my ears are very smart, and I can't stand too loud." β
Only then did Li Yao realize that he was talking too loudly, and hurriedly lowered his voice: "I'm sorry, I can't see it, but won't it be inconvenient for you to do this?
"Let you be quiet, I don't let you talk so sneakily, forget it, if I plug my ears, I won't be able to hear far away, it's dangerous, I can't do that." β
"Isn't this orc territory, why is it dangerous?"
"It's naΓ―ve, danger is everywhere, only you humans believe in what you build and create all day long, and the sense of security of the beasts only comes from their own strength. β
When Li Yao was talking to him, his voice became louder unconsciously, Zede hugged his ears, and his tail flicked around irritably: "It's also that this room is too small, and the echo is loud, I'll take you out for a walk." β
"Is it much better outside?"
"yes, there's not a lot of echo outside, and if there is, it's because of the obstacle, and I can hear the distance directly. β
"I don't know much, but bats seem to be like that?"
Zede's voice sounded a little more relaxed: "Let's go with a difference, the shoes are next to the bed." β
Li Yao groped his way out of bed, he was still a little uncomfortable when he first touched the ground, and he didn't know how long he had been lying down.
Zed helped him and explained, "Each of us orcs has our own specialty, I am hearing and speed, and some can fly and farsighted, steal and dodge, etc., there are many types. Do you humans only have brains?"
"Even humans can run fast and jump high."
"Hmph, the perk that can't be used in actual combat is too unreliable. Zed was picky about humans, but his hand kept holding Li Yao, leading him around the furnishings in the room and leading him out the door.
The first thing I felt was no longer the light, but the wind, a very textured wind, with the smell of the forest and the temperature of the sun, greeted from the front, and then quickly disappeared to the sky behind me.
He was excited by the feeling: "I can see, there are trees, there is the sun, right?"
Zede was not surprised at all: "Nonsense, it's a living thing that can be felt." β
"But I can barely see or hear now, and I thought it was already powerful. β
"There's so much I can feel from the light blocking in front of you, my smell, the humidity I breathe," Zed put his hand on his brow, but didn't touch his skin, "I didn't touch you, but can you feel my fingers in front of you?"
"I really can."
Zed said again, "Feel it again now, what is my expression?"
"You're laughing. β
"Yes," Zed patted him on the shoulder, "I'm laughing." You're doing a great job, let's go, there's a lot more to it, I'll tell you slowly. β
Li Yao was led by him, and he didn't worry about whether a stone would trip over him, so he kept walking. I must have walked into the forest, and there was the sound of birdsong overhead, and occasionally dew dripping on my head, and the soft soil under my feet.
Zede walked quickly, and after a while, Li Yao felt out of breath and couldn't keep up, and his stomach screamed unconsciously, his stomach contracted, and he felt hungry.
"Are you hungry?"
Li Yao nodded: "I don't seem to have eaten much since I passed out." β
"Walk further, in front of the village of Saad, there will be some bread and cheese for you in the market, humans should eat this thing, right?"
"I don't think humans eat much of this anymore. β
"Yes," Zed continued to lead him, "I went to save you last time and I went to human territory for the first time, I didn't have time to visit, I just cared about saving you, next time you can take me around." I've heard that it's interesting. β
Li Yao was a little curious: "What have you heard?"
"I want to think about taking a pill that can go a whole day without eating? Is there this?"
"No, no, it's fake, although I used to think it would. β
"I'll just say it's fake, how happy it is to eat, there are actually things that make people omit not to eat, and even if they are invented, no one will use them. β
He said it very bluntly, Li Yao thought this was very cute, combined with his relatively childish and tender voice, he felt that he should be a little boy, and combined with the orc image of "all hair on his body and face" in his heart, a little monkey with big ears appeared in his mind, so he thought of something else to tease him: "Although there is no such pill, but human meals can be printed directly, which is quite interesting, right?"
Zed wasn't interested in that: "I know, it's just those very strange dishes, we basically eat meat, at most sprinkle some condiments. I think the original taste is good, and I don't like the overprocessed stuff very much. β
As soon as Li Yao wanted to answer, he vaguely heard a noise in the distance in front of him, and sure enough, Zede beside him also said, "It's almost there, Sade Village, Suana, why are you here?"
Sana was walking down the street, her golden curls glittering in the sun made her face even more charming, and after noticing Zede and Li Yao he was pulling, she gathered her cloak: "I was about to go over there to find you, the general sent me." β
Zed pouted: "I thought this guy wasn't that important, so I still have to make a trip." β
The bottom of Suanna's cloak was a long tassel, but the tassel was a little peculiar - it was a thin blade that shimmered with cold light, made in the shape of a slender willow leaf, hanging gracefully there, and occasionally colliding with each other with a crisp sound. She looked at Li Yao: "You are going to bring the human beings into the village with a swagger like this? β
The language between them was not human language, but animal language, and Li Yao's mozen was forcibly dismantled, and there was no auxiliary equipment that could translate, so he couldn't understand what they were saying at all. But why does Zed speak human language so easily?
Before he could think about it, the conversation between the two ended, and Zed's expression didn't look so good, but he nodded at Sana anyway.
Suanna smiled charmingly and spoke to Li Yao in a language that she was not very proficient in: "Hello, I'm Suanna." β
Li Yao heard it vaguely, he seemed to hear "suona", but the scene where this word appeared seemed to be very disobedient, and he couldn't understand it for a while.
Suona explained for a long time, but Li Yao didn't react, so she had to shrug her shoulders, then untied her cloak, put Li Yao in her head, and then picked him up easily, and motioned Zede to take it: "I can only cover up the taste and appearance like this first, if you want to buy something, tell me, I'll go with you." β
Zed had no choice but to hug Li Yao like this, although his specialty was not strength, but the basic element of orcs did not make him feel difficult, Li Yao was startled, and thought that he would be sold directly in a sack by a girl with a good voice.
Zede walked down the street with him in his arms, and Sana bought a few breads and handed them to Li Yao from under the cloak, dry, without water, and very bumpy.
Since the crossing, anything can really happen, and there is still a moment when I am held in a sack and eat bread, I really don't know what to say.
Suona is a tall and powerful beauty, very famous among the beasts, and there are constantly people who greet her along the way, and naturally there are many people who ask who is under the cloak, Suona only briefly explains that it is the task goal of the general, and she is not as friendly as before.
Zed's identity is special, and he is also secretly looked at by many people, he is the youngest son of the orc general, and when he was a child, he was known for being weak like a human, and then he was thrown into the forest to live alone in order to exercise, but most people knew that the general secretly brought him prey. In the beast clan that admires strength, relying on his elders makes his reputation not very good, although he showed amazing abilities in his first mission as an adult, but this matter has not yet spread, and everyone's influence on him has been stuck in the impression of "very weak" and "unworthy of the identity of the general's son".
As he was walking, a male orc came out of front of him, greeting Sana with a grin.
This guy is Thackley, a guy with a bad character and a penchant for causing trouble, if he hadn't been really powerful, he would have been driven into the forest by the orcs to live on his own.
I don't know if it's because of those anthropological faults, he calls himself a "playboy", and thinks that the act of messing with flowers and grass is a kind of romance, and his favorite is the beauty Suanna.
Strong, beautiful, well-built, and easy-going looking, she is actually not close to anyone except the members of the same squad, and she is a kaolin flower. Thackrey had been rejected by her a few times, and she had never given up, but today she saw her walking down the street, followed by Zed, the general's illegitimate son who was holding a mass of unknown things, and immediately thought that Zed was being courteous to Sana and helping her move things.
He deliberately showed off, so he directly reached out and stopped them, looking down at Zed with disdain, but his mouth was talking to Sauna:
"Wind God above, my dear Sana, you actually allow this kind of creature to surround you, look at his ridiculous height and stupid face, isn't it your mother's love overflowing, just dazzled for a moment?
Sana didn't have time to pay attention to him, and replied bluntly: "I'm not free now, please get out of the way, don't block my way to see the general." β
When Thackley heard that he was going to see the general, he didn't dare to stop him anymore, and stepped aside, while scolding and taking advantage: "My dear, even if you want to go to see the general, you don't have to find this useless thing to carry things for you, I'm done-"
Before the word "all" could be spoken, the next second he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground with convulsions, ~ blood foam flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his teeth landed a little later than him and fell in front of him. I thought the reaction bounced twice, and then it didn't move.
The people watching the excitement were stunned. With a flick of his mind, Zed took a step back, then bounced and kicked Saric in the face with his toe so hard that he was crooked from the face, and then his front teeth flew out, and then he fell hard.
This speed is too fast, so fast that people who watch the excitement don't have time to exclaim at the first action, so fast that the very capable Salick doesn't have time to react, so fast that Sana doesn't have time to stop it Of course, the strongest feeling is Li Yao, he has been held by Zede, and the fingers naturally tightened physiologically when the other party exerted force, but he didn't feel any pain, so he whirled around for a while, although it stopped quickly, but the dizziness was delayed, and the stomach that had just eaten was very uncomfortable.
"Let's go. Sona. Zede only said this sentence from beginning to end, and everyone realized that he had not taken Thackry in his eyes all along, and in the face of Thackrey's provocation, he also seemed very calm, and directly moved his hands, using the strength to shock the audience to silence the other party.
Sana reacted: "Oh good. β
Walking a little farther away, sure enough, there was a chatter behind him.
As soon as Zed turned around, his voice was gone, and everyone pretended to do their own thing.
Zede looked back. The voice rose again.
Turning back again, the voice suddenly stopped.
Sana smiled: "Alright, Zed, don't scare them." β
Zede turned back and didn't look back again, and from the slightly raised corners of his mouth, he could tell that he should be in a good mood.
Li Yao had no idea what had just happened, he played a prop from beginning to end, although the treatment of this character was very poor, not to mention eating in the bumps, and there were unpredictable special situations. He heard the noise around him quiet, and asked Zed, "What just happened?"
"Nothing, a slap in the face. β
This answer is very neat, as a traverser, Li Yao has never been able to slap others in the face, but has been slapped in the face. When will he be able to become strong and say such handsome words?
Zed seemed to know what he was thinking: "Forget it, by my side, no matter what happens, I can protect you." β
Alas, this sentence is also very handsome, and Li Yao made up his mind that one day he would say the same himself.
Sana: "You've been alone for a long time, so you probably don't know that the general doesn't live where he was now, and comes with me in the forest further north." β
She motioned for Zed to follow, and kept exerting her strength under her feet, stepping on the trees around her, and jumping forward. Zede hugged Li Yao tighter, said "Hold me", and then followed Suona quickly.
Needless to say, Li Yao's taste, but fortunately, after stopping, Zede considered his body, and did not let him go by himself, but continued to hold him.
After approaching the general's station, the first person she encountered was Ellie on the watchtower, she nodded sternly to the two of them, and then continued to look intently into the distance, Suona saluted the guard at the gate to show her loyalty, and the guard returned the salute and let him go.
When he entered the station, the first thing he saw was Babbitt, who was sitting under a tree reading a thick book, with stacks taller than a human beside him, and he pushed his thick glasses from time to time, and then slowly turned the page.
"Ha, Babbitt is still like this, right, Zed shouldn't know him, right?" Sana walked over and introduced: "This is Babbitt, a historian obsessed with research, he should also have an assistant named Newman, I don't know where that guy went." β
Zed nodded, "Hello." β
Babbitt lifted his face, pushed his glasses, looked at them for a while, and asked, "Who's this?"
Suanna: "This is zvezed, it's the child who has been living in the forest, we all call him zed Zed, Babbitt always likes to pretend to be like an old man, in fact, he is not very old, don't look at him like this, his ability is very mysterious intuition and perception, very useful in actual combat, but my combat ability is really not very good." β
Babbitt did look like an old man, squinting his eyes for a while before he suddenly said, "Oh! It turned out to be Xiao Zede, by the way, if you are free, can you go find my assistant Newman?"
Zed: "??"
Sana sighed: "It's just a bad taste, don't pay attention to him, he has been keen on studying human civilization in the past few years, and he said this when he met people, thinking that he was an NPC at the entrance of the village." β
Zed nodded in understanding, it was indeed a bad taste.
Li Yao felt better now, and helped Zede to stand up on his own. Zed took off the cloak he had draped over and returned it to Sana, and the appearance and smell of the human immediately made him look abrupt. Babbitt was excited: "Wait, is this the captured human?"
"Yes," said Saana, "but we must take him to the general now, and it is not too late for you to study him when you have met him." β
Babbitt waved his hand again and again: "Then you go quickly, the general is in that tent, and he is talking to Tobels, you must remember to come to me after you go!"
"Got it, got it. Sana replied.
The three men entered the tent, and sure enough, the general was inside. In the center of the tent was a thick blanket, on which was a low table, and in addition to a number of shelves for the placement of blades, a total of six pairs, arranged separately on both sides of the house, which looked very imposing.
The general saw his beloved little son, and even in front of outsiders, he couldn't restrain his doting look: "My child, you are doing well, come here." β
Zed's expression towards him was not as affectionate as before, he just made a loyal salute and signaled to Li Yao behind him: "General, this is the human person I rescued. β
The general was saddened to find that his beloved youngest son did not seem to want to be close to him so much.
Sana reminded: "General, let's take care of business first, this is Zed's first mission." β
The general's expression came alive again, yes, his son may just attach more importance to this task, and after the process is completed, Xiao Zede will definitely hold him as before.
Sana knew what he was thinking when he looked at his expression, their general was indeed very strong and had leadership skills, the only weakness was his youngest son Zed, the whole beast clan knew that he doted on this child too much, and this child was so weak, which made many people look down on Zed, thinking that he was a greenhouse flower, and it was not suitable to stay in the beast clan. But everyone loves their generals very much, which has become the characteristic of generals, generals are so decisive in other things, but they will be soft on this child, which makes people feel that even if they are heroes, they will have weaknesses.
This is also what she likes about this leader, who has a strong and admirable power, but also has a lovely human touch, such a leader is the one who can lead their beasts to complete the mission of the wind god.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Yang Ming looked at the person in front of him, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, it was pitch black outside, but he didn't move.
He didn't move, and he couldn't move himself.
Yang Ming looked at his back and thought to himself, obviously he had a similar face, and he was so similar to his code name, but there was a world of difference.
He didn't think there was anything unfair, because the "Yang Ming" in front of him was said to be the best and most successful self-machine, and at the same time, he was also the leader of their race, and it was said that he had gotten along with humans and had exactly the same thinking pattern as humans, and they, the self-machines that were mass-produced later, were locked in a small room to watch a large number of images and videos since they were born, repeating over and over again to remember their mission to fight for humanity.
Yang Ming is different, he is special, originally the humans above are not very satisfied with him, because he has been taken away by irrelevant humans, I don't know what kind of impact it has, although I regret his performance, but it still has to be destroyed, but Yang Ming's selection makes those humans very satisfied, his thinking is equal to human beings, and he also thinks that he is a human being, and what is even more terrifying is that he obviously has more perfect feelings than any of them, but he is more like a machine than them, and the utilitarian terrible machine is very goodγ
The humans say that the person Yang Ming is looking for has been killed by the orcs, and since then he has been bent on revenge against the orcs. Cold, wise, clear and right-minded, he is the perfect leader in the human heart.
He was Yang Ming's lieutenant and was given a similar name to Yang Ming. However, a leader is a leader, no matter how much he is below ten thousand people, he is still fundamentally different from Yang Ming.
Yang Ming sometimes thinks that although the purpose of these machines is to fight against the beast clan, but Yang Ming is for himself, and they are for the human race, is this the biggest difference between them?
What does it feel like to act for your own reasons?
He didn't know, but humans would tell them how to do it and how to do it, and he clearly told them that their own thinking should be applied to the judgment of the battlefield and should not be used in other aspects.
Yang Ming stared out the window at the pitch black.
Even if it's morning, it's always dark in this secret base underneath.
The last time I saw the sunshine, it was not long after I realized it, I was wearing a peaked hat and a hoodie, and I was taken away from the original dilapidated house by Li Yao, there were many people on the street, and there were many cars coming and going, and I followed him ignorantly.
It's just that, and I don't want to.
In this base, a group of self-employed people are produced every day, and then they are trained by the so-called. The first stage of training is to inculcate the idea of serving human beings, the second stage is to inculcate practical skills, and the third stage is the training of physical coordination.
Who will be the winner of this battle, Yang Ming doesn't care at all. His wish is to live the past days, and since it can't be realized now, it doesn't make a difference whether the humans are defeated or the orcs are defeated.
However, Li Yao was killed by the beast clan, which he didn't want to believe, but the bones and other evidence sent by humans showed this fact plainly and cruelly.
When he first learned the news, Yang Ming was not sad, he was just dazed, ignorant, and didn't quite understand the meaning of "dead".
Li Yao taught him a lot of things, but he didn't teach him how to deal with life and death.
It's not sad. Until now, even if I have a clear goal in my heart to make the orcs pay, I am not sad. All the emotions seem to be necrotic, everything is wrong, and it needs to be fixed.
Yang Ming didn't intend to fix it, and once he was sad, it was as if he really admitted this fact, so it was just like that, just like that, and it was extended in self-deception.
After the number of self-employed people was finally objective, the government suddenly announced this fact, and the reaction of the people was very strong, but under the guidance of the remarks of the major mainstream media, the time to accept it was shorter than expected. There is a lot of talk about the self-machine people as the savior of the race, while exaggerating the threat of the orcs.
Yang Ming's appearance and name are the same as the popular virtual idols, which makes fans around the world particularly excited, if the attitude of the elderly towards the self-machine qì people is more conservative, then the attitude of the young people can be called fanatical, the petitions and admiration letters of the meeting have not stopped, and even the acceptance of the whole society to the self-machine qì people has been greatly improved.
The news spread quickly, the orcs did not expect that the human race had really massed these evil things, and the war was inevitable, the witch danced day and night to pray to the wind god, and the warriors stepped up their training and did not dare to get tired for a moment, they had lived a peaceful life on the sea, and faith made them come here to destroy the source of evil from the hands of wise and blind humans.
The wind has always guided the orcs, and this time is no exception, they fight for their faith, and humans fight for greed.
The mountain rain is coming, and the pattern is about to change.
