Many years ago.

It's also such a cold dusk.

In that hospital.

Before he died, Yin Mu leaned on the hospital bed, held Yin Long's hand tightly, and told him: "The mechanical body with human memory is uncontrollable, don't try to ...... easily"

These are the words of his father, the first android engineer.

As one of the true creators of androids, Yin Mu's words are quite authoritative.

Yin Long remembered these words for a long time.

But then......

Time can erase many memories of flesh and blood, and make people forget those who were in the past.

So there is Lu Wen in front of him.

It's a perfect masterpiece.

"Why didn't you run away?" Lu Wen asked.

"Is the golden cicada out of its shell?" Yin Long smiled, and the dry skin on his face was squeezed together, "The same method, if you use it too much, it won't be new, not to mention ...... It was indeed lost. ”

Lost to a android of his own creation.

Decades of layout turned into a bubble.

Maybe it was frustration, so Yin Long didn't run away anymore.

"Is there anything you'd like to ask?"

"About A00...... She's faking amnesia, right? She knew that I was jealous of her, so she pretended to have amnesia so that I could continue my plans without any scruples and make it easier for you to move. ”

"Yes."

After getting Lu Wen's affirmative answer, Yin Long had no problem.

Although it was the first time the two had actually met, they had already known each other very well.

Follow-up processing does not need to be handled by Lu Wen.

The troops belonging to Mowu City entered the bottom of the pit and controlled Yin Long.

In fact.

After Lu Wen's simple calculation, this old guy has not been able to live for a few months, and now this body will not have much strength to resist.

Wei Bo'an went down to the bottom of the pit, he glanced at Yin Long inside the gate, and then asked, "Are you sure it's really Yin Long this time?" ”

"Sure."

"How is that determined?"

"By feeling."

"Feelings?"

……

It's all over.

Yin Long was imprisoned.

After follow-up testing, it was determined that this was the real him.

There are countless secrets in this old traverser, and the crossing alone is enough to make people's hearts yearn for it, as well as his mechanical skills, other talents, progress in the direction of immortality, and so on......

Lu Wen may see the old man in a few months, before he dies.

But now, he needs to enjoy life seriously.

A00 shared the rights with him again.

Rebuilding began around the world.

It is also clear to people that Lu Wen is the number nine.

The three-legged world pattern is slowly taking shape.

"The third and fourth cities of androids are being built, no man's land outside the west and east, respectively......"

"Underground forces began to relocate, and after many inspections, 90% of the contaminated area has been safe, the radiation indicators are normal, and it is suitable for survival ......"

"Nine cities sign environmental governance treaty to conquer no man's land ...... in the next 100 years"

A month passed.

The whole world is on the right track and developing in an orderly manner.

……

Outside Baker.

No man's land.

Lu Wen drove an old off-road vehicle, and Zero sat in the passenger seat.

Yellow sand rolled, and the raging sand and dust slapped against the car windows.

The destination arrived quickly.

It was the empty ruined city, the location of Zero's main body.

The little toy robot remained the same, its black lacquer shell peeling off, its machinery rusty and limping, searching for food in all corners of the city.

In the central square of the city, the body of a thin little boy lies among countless rotting food.

Time seems to freeze here.

Only the passing yellow sand can make people feel the temperature of life.

Lu Wen pointed to the city's high-rise buildings.

"Just here, don't come out in the future, if you want to continue to live, I can provide you with blue blood on a regular basis."

"Nine, what's the difference between you letting me wait here to die and killing me?"

"There's a big difference."

Lu Wen slowly returned to the car.

He closed the car door, and the yellow sand was flying.

"The difference is whether you want to die now or wait until the battery runs out."

After that, Lu Wen drove away.

There are his eyes in the sky.

Zero can't get out, and the city is her forever prison.

Maybe it's not forever, you have to change the blue blood once in five years, it depends on whether Zero can endure the loneliness of the years.

……

April.

Heavy snow is still falling in the north.

Suburbs of Kerry City.

Patches of maple trees have lost their leaves, leaving only dry trunks and branches.

White ice crystals piled up on the branches.

The snow on the ground is ankle-deep, and the pure white snow is covered with thick maple leaves.

Fat Jiang was wearing a heavy polar bear suit, standing in the snowdrift, his fat face was red from the cold, and he was teaching Lu Yang, who was trembling, while exhaling hot air.

“…… Like this...... Drill holes in the trunk of the tree first, then put the metal cannula in it, hang a large iron bucket on the cannula, and the maple sap will slowly drip out......"

Lu Yang was shivering with cold, and while jumping to his feet, he asked tremblingly, "Brother Jiang, shall we ...... Let's ...... Call...... How much maple sap does it take to boil a kilogram of maple sugar? ”

"I haven't survived either, maybe forty or fifty kilograms."

"This ...... So much...... Yes? Why don't we eat sucrose? ”

"You know a hammer, it's mainly a sense of ritual." Jiang Fatzi slapped Lu Yang on the face, "Think about it, when the snow is falling, living in a cozy cabin with your lover, chiseling a little ice every day, cutting some maple sugar, or walking a hound to hunt in the forest......"

"But Brother Jiang...... I'm single, I can't imagine it. ”

“……”

Jiang Fatzi's wedding was held simply.

Next to this snowy cabin.

There are no churches.

Only a group of friends and family.

Very simple.

In the snowy season, it is simple and warm.

Simple wedding, which was proposed by the bride Christina, said that he especially liked Phoebe's wedding in "Friends", just in such a heavy snow, it doesn't need to be too complicated, there is no traditional cumbersome etiquette, there is a group of friends, it is good to be happy.

Christina has no parents, so Lu Wen temporarily acted as her father and pulled her on the field.

Lu Wen also served as a pastor and best man by the way.

There are many doppelgangers, and they can indeed be capricious.

Small light bulbs glowing with a warm yellow light hang from the trees around them.

The wooden house is also decorated quite warmly.

Everyone stood up with a smile on their faces.

Falling snowflakes dance in the air.

Lu Wen held Christina, and in the music of the wedding march, slowly walked into the wedding hall composed of snowdrifts and relatives and friends, and handed over the bride in a white wedding dress to Jiang Fatzi in a black suit.

The bride is opposite the groom.

Lu Wen, who plays the priest, needs to speak.

"Family, friends, and beagles......"

"Wang!" The little black dog that Lu Yang was holding barked.

"Thank you for being here to witness this God-given marriage......

Lu Wen, who played the groomsman's side, was in charge of handing over two wedding rings.

At the bride's side, Xia Chuluo wore a very simple bridesmaid outfit.

She chose many styles this month, all kinds of bells and whistles, but in the end she chose a simple set, not to steal the limelight with the bride, and to return to simplicity.

The wedding ended quickly.

Everyone gathered around the campfire in the snow, the light of the fire flickering warmly, and on one side of the shelf was the game that had just been hunted, and on the other side was a clay pot containing Dan

There are talking and laughing, although the weather in the north is cold, but the atmosphere is harmonious and warm.

It's a rare sight for everyone to get together.

Life is going to be dull after all.

The daily clutter can drown out a lot of joy.

Xia Chuluo shrank beside Lu Wen, kept drinking, rubbed his white hands from time to time, his cheeks may be frozen, or maybe it is the firelight, which is reflected red.

Lu Wen said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not impossible to wear a beautiful wedding dress, just hold a wedding by yourself." ”

Xia Chuluo shook his head when he heard this: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to get it." ”

……

Time passed little by little.

Come in May.

In May last year, Lu Wengang started filming outside Li Meng's villa.

Before you know it, it's been a year.

Changed.

Some get married, others get divorced.

Lu Wen is busy with the construction and capital turnover of various cities, and sometimes participates in some major decisions in Mowu City.

More often than not, he would use a clone to wander around the corners of various urban areas of Mowu City, walking slowly with his hands behind his back, taking a look at the world and enjoying the life of the elderly that Dr. Jiang said.

After the cessation of heavy industry, the city of Mowu was less rainy and hazy.

There's a little more sunshine.

It was at dusk that day.

Lu Wen and Xia Chuluo walked in the city and unconsciously walked to the Fanshi Machinery Repair Factory.

The bench at the entrance of the machine shop is still there, but it is a little more mottled.

Cloudiplus is still busy in the machine shop.

"You're divorced?" As soon as they met, Xia Chuluo looked at it a few times and saw it.

"Yes."

Yun Yang was not so embarrassed and admitted it calmly.

The husband and wife had different personalities, and they discussed a divorce long before the end of the war, and they were very peaceful and did not cause any trouble.

In modern society, everyone has the right to pursue their own life.

There was a lot of noise in the machine shop, and the machinery rumbled.

The three of them spoke in the doorway.

The setting sun shone on the dilapidated streets.

When I meet an old friend, I always say a few more words.

Xia Chuluo has a lot of friends, and his connections are all over Mowu City.

But Lu Wen didn't know much about human beings.

"I will make enough money in the future, I want to move to the 15th district, build a house by the sea, and live a simpler life," Yun Yang said about his plans for ......the future.

"Yes, it just so happens that I am the chief of the fifteenth district, and I will give you some relations when the time comes."

Lu Wen is used to using small powers.

The three of them chatted briefly for more than ten minutes.

Before parting.

The sun is setting.

Encounters are always accidental.

Meeting again may be another coincidence.

Yun Yang looked a little hesitant, and when he wanted to speak, he looked at Lu Wen.

"That...... Lu Wen: Do you have the addresses of all the people in the world? ”

"Yes."

"I think, I think...... Find someone, it may not be easy to find, she may change her name......"

That's a difficult question to answer.

Lu Wen glanced at Xia Chuluo, but Xia Chuluo avoided his gaze at the right time.

So this matter can only be decided by Lu Wen himself.

He said slowly, "She went to a farther place. ”

Yun Yang was stunned.

"Is it another city? It was indeed quite far before, but now it's okay, there is no barrier between the nine cities, and she will come back, right? ”

The crimson sunset shone obliquely on the silhouette of Mou, making the cold, dilapidated city look a little warmer.

Heavy machinery leaned against the sloped high-rises, heavy shadows stretched long, and workers walked up and down the ruins.

Lu Wen reclined at the door of the machine shop, and there were people on the road ahead.

The red sunset is just around the horizon at the end of the road.

Distant and vague.

Make this city road seem to never end, noisy and lonely.

For some reason, he remembered the border city written by Mr. Shen and the old ferry.

There is also a more classic ending.

"She might be back tomorrow......"
