Chapter 12: Cities and Deserts
What's on the 3rd floor?
Lu Wen guessed the result.
The moment he opened the door, the scene he saw was not much different from what he had guessed.
……
An hour later, Lu Wen sat in the driver's seat, a low-pressure cap and big sunglasses covering most of his face.
Li Yu sat in the passenger seat, leaning on his shoulder, very intimate.
The two seem to be men and women in love.
The car starts.
Lu Wen turned on the autopilot.
Drive away from the city.
"Put on some songs, don't be so serious."
Li Yu is like a naughty little goblin.
Sitting in the car, he refused to be quiet, and he would put his hand out of the window for a while, and shout out of the window for a while, attracting a sideways look from pedestrians on the road.
【Still Alive】
Lu Wen connected to the on-board system and downloaded the song.
This song belongs to a parkour game called "Mirror's Edge", which I didn't expect to have in this world.
A familiar melody sounds.
The breeze caressed Lu Wen's hair from the window on one side.
He reached out against the window and looked out at the receding scenery.
There was a trance.
It's like returning to that familiar world.
The car sped along the straight road, unrestrained and unstoppable.
"This song is so good, I didn't expect you to have such taste." Li Yu leaned on the saddle, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes closed, and his right hand stretched out from the window, like a free bird.
It was as if she was enjoying the feeling of freedom.
"When I was buying wallpaper before, I heard it by chance."
Lu Wen explained casually.
The car is getting farther and farther away from the city, but the surrounding buildings are gradually increasing.
It's a deformed city, where people are busy in urban areas, renting in the suburbs and buying houses in smaller towns further afield.
The car drove past town-like complexes of buildings.
Farther away, the abandoned cities.
Deserts are encroaching on places that are inaccessible.
I don't know when I got up, Li Yu leaned on his shoulder, as if he was asleep.
Lu Wen looked down and saw her long eyelashes trembling, and he didn't know if he had dreamed of something.
……
Evening.
It's rare for a purple sunset to appear on the horizon.
A taxi stopped in front of the villa.
They drove out.
Taxi back.
Lu Wen and Li Yu both changed their clothes and changed back to the clothes they were wearing.
As for the car, it may soon be discovered.
"Lu Wen, make a dinner for two, a little more hearty."
Li Yu stretched and opened the door.
She walked quickly to the couch and threw herself on it like a lazy kitten.
"Hmm."
Lu Wen paid the money and walked into the villa with a shopping bag.
Halfway back, they casually found a supermarket in a small town and bought some things.
When the door was closed, it was pitch black.
Lu Wen adjusted his night vision to adjust to the darkness around him.
Walking into the kitchen, he took out two steaks from his shopping bag, cut off the fat on them, put them in a pan, and turned on a low heat.
Ten minutes later.
Lu Wen walked out of the kitchen with two dinners.
The sight in front of him made him stunned.
"Candlelight dinner, why are you suddenly in the mood to get this?"
It was rare for Li Yu to take the initiative to open the curtain on one side, and it was already dark outside.
All that came into view was an endless meadow and a lingering purple glow.
On the dining table by the window were two silver candlesticks, and the white candles were burning slowly.
The flickering candle flame fills the room with a hazy beauty.
Li Yu sat by the window, as if in a daze, her beautiful eyes stared out of the window, the night breeze invited her hair to dance, and the soft music sounded, which was the one that was put in the car today.
"Feeling good?"
Lu Wen put two dinners on the table.
He knew that there was no one on the third floor, and the two dinners belonged to him and Li Yu respectively
"Of course, it's hard to go out on an outing."
Li Yu came back to his senses and smiled lightly.
"I've worked hard for you in the past two days, and it won't be so hard in the future."
She opened a bottle of red wine, and then handed half a glass of red wine to Lu Wen.
Lu Wen took it.
The two of them had dinner against the backdrop of music and candlelight.
Li Yu didn't know what he was thinking.
Lu Wen has been analyzing Li Yu's last sentence.
"It won't be so hard in the future?"
The more he thought about it, the more it sounded weird.
Is it going to restart him tonight?
can look at Li Yu's appearance, she is in a good mood tonight.
"By the way, tomorrow an executive will come to our house to ask, you must not show your flaws." Li Yu smiled slightly, licked the red wine stains on his mouth, and admonished.
"Well, don't worry."
Lu Wen nodded.
That's an order.
Li Yu's words were the highest order for him, higher than the rest of the human race.
Therefore, even if an executive officer orders him to tell the truth tomorrow, he doesn't have to follow it, and he doesn't worry about violating the second principle of androids.
"In this way, I won't be restarted tonight."
As for what the executive officer will ask tomorrow, Lu Wen probably knows it in his heart.
Had dinner.
Lu Wen began to clean up the dishes, while Li Yu lay on the sofa and watched TV.
After he finished cleaning up, he came out of the kitchen and found that Li Yu had fallen asleep on the sofa.
On the TV, news flashes by, all of which are boring things.
"Take this opportunity to take her phone?"
This idea disappeared in a flash, and was quickly vetoed by Lu Wen.
The positioning device in the body has not been taken out.
Li Yu's mobile phone must also have a positioning device, and it can't run far.
Sane, calm.
Sit back and wait for your time.
Wait for the game-breaker to appear!
Maybe tomorrow?
"Hopefully tomorrow's executive will have humans among them."
Lu Wen didn't look down on his android brothers, but simply felt that the androids who had not awakened might not have enough brains.
Their language, movements, and demeanor are still limited by inherent procedures.
And the androids after awakening, such as last night's cockroach brother.
It completely gave him the feeling of "human", and the propaganda eloquence of the cockroach brother was put in those financial companies, and they were all first-class good players.
Lu Wen walked up and turned off the TV.
found a dress for Li Yu, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, and then sat quietly by the window.
It was the first night in the two days since I came into this world that I had nothing to do.
The android didn't need sleep, but Lu Wen still felt a wave of tiredness welling up.
"Just get ten minutes of sleep."
He closed his eyes.
Nothing happened overnight.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn.
The dark clouds were once again entrenched in the sky, and the clouds were getting lower and lower, and the weather in this world was always so confusing, and the faint morning light was obscured by thick clouds.
"It's going to rain again?"
"Is it because human activities in this world are too intense, affecting the weather?"
Lu Wen rubbed his eyes.
He suddenly found that he was wearing a piece of clothing, which he had put on Li Yu last night.
Sometimes I really can't tell whether this girl is a ruthless murderer or a gentle and lovely little jasper.
There was no trace of Li Yu on the sofa.
The familiar voice came to my ears.
“…… The four of us went on a trip yesterday, and my sister and her boyfriend said they were going to go a little farther, but they haven't come back yet, and I'm worried......"
Li Yu was on the phone, pacing in the living room.
