"Drop. ”

On the floor, B3068's eyes began to light up with the sound of electronic audio.

It woke up, but didn't dare to move, because it felt like it was still holding it behind its back.

Bowing his head, his white hands still wrapped around his waist.

It didn't want to wake up, but in those hands, the B3068 felt a hint of danger in addition to feeling that its motherboard was about to overheat again.

This is an intuition that comes from the consciousness of life.

That pair of hands had dismantled the robot with bare hands, and if it did something unconsciously in its sleep, its small body would not be able to stand it.

"Here. ”

B3068 slowly raised one of his hands, placing his palm on the back of Hatsu's hand with a defusal caution, gently trying to remove Hatsu's hand.

"Hmm. ”

Maybe he felt something, Chu whispered, put his body on B3068's back, and hugged his palm tighter.

Yes, just a little tighter, but the iron plate on B3068's waist has already made a piercing creak, and it is visibly dented.

"Dididi!"

If B3068 had tears, it would have been so scared that it was about to cry by now, and it had a feeling that it was going to say goodbye to this world today.

Thankfully, a few minutes later, Chu still woke up from B3068's struggle.

Although by the time she woke up, the two fixed parts on the B3068's waist had been basically scrapped.

"I'm sorry. ”

On the grass in front of the hut, Chu sat on the ground and apologized to B3068 with a slight apology.

"Didi. ”

B3068 hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that it didn't care, but today it could only go to the robot factory again, at least replace the two fixed parts on its waist.

And the matter of taking care of the weeds was handed over to the first hand, in fact, it was just a little watering regularly.

B3068 stood up, waved at Hatsu, and limped out into the city.

Hatsumu sent it away, then turned his head to look at the grass in front of him, with a solemn expression.

As an apology, she will take good care of the weeds.

But maybe she was too serious, and her body was overflowing with black energy.

In front of the black air, the weeds bent over and began their dark day.

If they were conscious, they would miss B3068.

······

In the factory, the B3068 carries two brand new fixed parts around his waist.

It still had the bodies of countless of its compatriots standing beside it, and it had tried to activate them again, but it later realized that these people were a little different from it.

They have not been programmed, which means that they are mere shells, or even model machines.

Also, in the last period of hope that humanity has not given up, all EDR robots that can be used have been put into use.

The rest should be just semi-finished products that had not been manufactured at the time of the shutdown.

After the parts were assembled, the B3068 went to the top floor of the factory.

There it saw a human skeleton.

That was supposed to be the man it saw on the factory recording screen, the creator of the war robots and the builders of the EDR robots, who had dedicated his life to the machines.

From the very beginning of wanting to change the war, to wanting to end the war, to repentance, to atonement. It seems that he has only done one wrong thing in his life.

But is he really wrong, or is he the only one who is wrong?

In his final record, he sat on the top floor of the factory and said that he was not going to leave and wanted to stay and atone for his mother's sins.

At the very least, he understood his mistake.

He had been sitting here, looking at the ruins in the distance, in the direction of the sky, gazing at the land that had given birth to him, either affectionately or full of guilt.

B3068 looked at the skeleton and sat down.

This man, so to speak, was its father, who made it so that it could have the opportunity to open its eyes and see the world clearly.

It accompanied the skeleton to look at the ruins, at the planet that the man had seen for the last time.

After a long time, the B3068 emits an audio clip to the skeleton.

"Didi Di Di, Di Di ······"

(I'll let the humans, come back······ ）

This is the heaviest promise it can give, to its father.

······

Next to the cottage.

"Staring—" Chu was still staring at the grass with a black glow.

The blades of the weeds bent a little lower.

······

On the way back, B3068 passed by a department store and walked in with the idea of finding something useful.

This is the first time it has walked into a department store, and in the past, it was just looking for the environment, and this kind of behavior of robbing houses is completely from the beginner.

The department store was different from the street shops it had been to before, and the shops used to be bustling shopping malls, with multi-storey buildings full of different goods, even though they had been on display for too long.

It is lined with different shops, and in the center is a small square, in the center of which is a lamppost that has long since ceased to work.

B3068 wanders around the store for a while, but it can't figure out what works and what doesn't.

Finally, it took an automatic umbrella, of course, it didn't know it was an umbrella, it just thought it was fun to open and close this little thing that opened and closed automatically.

Before leaving, B3068 noticed a number of small boxes hanging on the walls of the mall.

These small boxes are connected to a number of wires, which appear to store energy in B3068's perception.

It is able to sense energy, which is one of the few features it has other than detecting the environment.

Reaching out in confusion, B3068 pressed a button on a small box.

The next moment, in the center of the square, the lamppost that should have been abandoned actually rotated.

Maybe it has not been used for too long, and the lights on it are dimmed for a while, but then, the lampposts emit colorful lights, and the lights illuminate colorful circular patterns that rotate and move on the walls and floors of the mall, as if the mall becomes dreamy for a moment.

"Smack. ”

The sudden change caused B3068 to close the buttons in fright, and the lights dimmed.

But after a while, it couldn't help but open again.

The colored lights came on again, turning in its eyes.

"Drip ······"

B3068 was fascinated by it, it had never seen such a light before, it was like a scene in a dream.

But it seemed to think of something, and it didn't look at it for too long, and then closed the button again.

It sensed that the box had limited energy reserves, not enough to keep the lights on for long. This is supposed to be a reserve energy source that humans have left here and will not be regenerated.

However, it looked at the small boxes on the walls of the mall and had an idea.

Perhaps, it can give Chu a surprise.

(Some readers mentioned the problem of the book friend group, which is in the introduction.) One group is a group of readers with old books, and the second group is a group of new books, with fewer people. The three groups were accidentally built more, and everyone can not laugh and cry. ）
