001 Desert City, Radiant Land

Thirty years ago, a nuclear explosion that turned the once most prosperous city into a dead city, and even after all these years, its tritium content remains high, and it is hundreds of miles away from people.

At this time, a heavy truck drove into this radiant city in the yellow sand. The car stopped in front of a dance hall, with a towering platform and a huge screen swearing to the prosperity of the past.

The door opened, revealing five people in isolation suits.

In the 22nd century, human beings are basically hollowing out the earth's energy, and a very small number of human beings have evolved telekinesis to survey, excavate, and collect energy, which is called energy trappers. These five people are the best of the energy traps, and they have accepted the task of finding new energy from the energy trapping association.

"Becky, are you sure the energy is in this kind of place?" A young male voice asked in an urn, he was the team's collector Gaia, who was good at spatial transfer, but he couldn't exert his telekinesis in Radiant City, which made him very irritable.

"The instrument says there's energy in there." The petite woman replied. She was the only woman in the team, the team's prospector, and due to the strong radiation here, her telekinesis was suppressed, and she had to use instruments instead.

"Since they're all here, let's go in and have a look." The most sturdy middle-aged man. This is the leader of the team, Barron the Excavator, who was once a mercenary who had been on the front lines of war, and 50% of his body had been transformed into weapons to be the most lethal.

"Those damn human skin ghosts, if they hadn't caused that nuclear explosion, humanity wouldn't be in such a difficult situation." Gaia scolded.

"Even if there are no artificial humans, sooner or later humans will be killed by themselves." A path that is also a team collector.

As the earth's environment is getting worse and worse, in order to survive better, human beings have developed artificial survival satellites for habitation, which is called satellite colonization.

Satellite colonization requires a lot of energy and labor, and in order to accelerate the development of satellites, two giant companies have emerged - Star Energy Company and Creator Company.

Xingchen Star Energy is responsible for energy extraction, and Creator is developing artificial humans to replace labor.

Cyborgs have been developed and marketed since the beginning of the 22nd century, and the fifth-generation androids have become self-conscious, with a lifespan equal to that of humans, and have been input into memory emotions to facilitate better control by humans.

However, to the surprise of this, one of the androids rebelled, using a nuclear launch to destroy the database, turning the once thriving six large cities into a radiant land, emptying the electronic database of the android files, and the androids have been hiding among humans ever since.

The Creator Corporation was forced to stop developing androids because of this incident, and the development of satellites stalled. During this time, very few human beings have evolved telekinesis to survey, excavate, and collect energy, and are called energy trappers.

Ten years ago, a new president came to power and continued to support the development of androids. The Creator Company has developed a new type of artificial human, carried out mass production, and set up the three laws of artificial humans, which are controlled by the mastermind, and the lifespan and function are customized by humans, and they are absolutely obedient to humans.

Nowadays, the relationship between the capturers, humans, and new androids coexists on the earth, and their relationship is pyramid-shaped, and for humans, the captors are the noblest profession, and the androids are ghosts in human skin.

Pushing open the door, the dance hall was surprisingly neat, and there was no chaos to be seen except for the dust. You must know that after the nuclear explosion, everyone was in a hurry to flee, and everywhere was in shambles.

"It's like someone lived there." Barron scrutinized his surroundings and frowned. There must have been people living here for a while after the nuclear radiation.

Becky turns on the life detector, and the red dots of light on the screen converge behind the bar. "There are life features in the back!"

"Search." Barron gave the order.

The five of them scrutinized the bar counter, not missing a single detail.

"Found it!" Hearing a low cry from the road, he held one of the bottles of red wine on the bar in his hand, and twisted it slightly, and the bar made a "click" mechanical movement sound, opening from the middle, revealing a road leading to the underground.

Barron walked in the front, leaving the road to stand guard outside.

"The structure underneath this ground is a bit rough, as if it was dug out by hand." Barron Road. "Becky, how far are you from life?"

"A hundred meters ahead."

Barron and the others cheered up, and those who could survive in this kind of place were probably alien beasts! If you can't find energy, catching a special type of exotic beast is also a lot of income. Due to the depletion of the earth's energy, some animals have also undergone mutations, and the telekinesis generated by the same energy trap is very valuable, and their brains will produce crystal nuclei that can be used as energy sources.

Around the corner of a hundred meters was another pink door, Becky nodded above Barron, Barron kicked the door open, turned on the machine gun mode with his hand, and aimed vigilantly inside.

I saw a starlight projection lamp turned on inside, a fluffy carpet on the floor, and a solid wood bed placed in the middle of the room, like a little girl's room. The only thing that stands out is that there is a capsule on the bed, which is tightly closed, indicating that the life form is inside.

Barron looked up at Becky, who understood and connected the instrument to the capsule port, typing the code into her fingertips, and after a while, the capsule made a thud, and everyone took a step back and aimed their weapons inside.

Wu You's eyelids moved, she slowly opened her eyes, and the memories of the owner of this body were still swirling in her mind.

This is the third life of her reincarnation, her father is a human, a genetic engineer for the Creator Corporation, and her mother is an android, and the two of them accidentally fall in love and defect from the Creator Corporation.

When she was ten years old, her father's body was in danger of radiation, so she made the capsule and put her into a deep sleep, but twenty years later, she was awakened by a group of energy trappers and started her nightmare.

She was sold to Xingchenxing Energy Company because of her special physique and huge mental power, and she was repeatedly experimented. The body was stripped of by a dreamer, and the rest of the brain was tampered with, taking the place of the dreamer, responsible for inputting memories and emotions into the android.

Barron saw a small, boneless snow-white hand resting lightly on the edge of the capsule, and after a long while, they were able to see what was inside and sit up—a little girl of about ten years old, with indescribably delicate features, her hair and eyes were a rare purple. It has always been a symbol of nobility, and it is said that the probability of purple eyes appearing is only 1 in 10 million, which is mysterious and noble.

"Cyborgs?" Barron pointed the gun at Wu You and wondered.

I saw Wu You blinking, pouting aggrievedly, tears rolling in his eyes, weak and pitiful, really hard-hearted people have to soften their hearts.

"Daddy—" her voice was soft, like a newborn cat's meow, and her wet eyes were on Barron, and she cried out timidly and enviously.

Barron felt as if his brain had been thumped, and the call woke up Barron's dusty memory.

Once upon a time, he also had a daughter, who was as old as the little girl in front of him, but her body was too weak and she died in a hospital bed. In order to survive, he transformed his body and became a non-human and non-mechanical thing, on the surface he was a highly respected energy catcher, but he was the only one behind the heart.

"Becky, check it out." Barron froze, although his mind was relaxed, but he still remembered his mission, this girl appeared here strangely, the radiation here is so strong, the life form will not live for ten years, even if it lives and mutates, it is all deformed.

Wu You secretly praised in his heart. is worthy of being the leader of the A-level energy catcher team, and he is really determined.

In her memory, this uncle, who looked wild and even had a somewhat hideous face, was the best person in the team to her. His original intention was to send her to the Capturer Guild, but unfortunately the original body listened to Gaia's provocation, thinking that Barron was going to treat her badly, and left with Gaia, resulting in being sold.

Becky stepped forward and attached a wireless smart electronic sticker to Wu You's temple, which can monitor her heart and brain activity, body temperature, breathing, eye movements and other body signals.

Everyone held their breath and did not dare to relax their vigilance at all, for fear that the angelic girl in front of them would suddenly turn into a monster.

Becky looked at the data and confirmed, "It's human." ”

Barron asked, "Then how is she not affected by radiation?" ”

Becky retracted the electronic sticker and said, "My equipment is insufficient and I can't be sure, but this child's bone age is only ten years old, and all indicators of his body are normal, and there is no tritium exceedance." The capsule was equipped with enough equipment to put her to sleep for sixty years, and it was our arrival that woke her up early, and she had been asleep for twenty years. "You know, in this kind of ghost place, every extra breath is poisonous, and even if they have telekinesis, they don't dare to take off their protective clothing for a moment.

"What's your name, kid?" Gaia was the first to put away her weapon and asked softly, like a gentleman, completely different from the way she had been swearing outside.

Wu You shrank for a moment, leaned in the direction of Barron, and shouted with teary eyes: "I'm afraid..."

Ha, it was the first time that Becky had seen someone who hadn't been deceived by Gaia's surface, and she smiled in her heart.

Looking at the well-behaved Wu You sitting in the space capsule, like an angel who fell into the world, unstained with dust, Barron's steely heart couldn't help but be moved. He stepped forward and covered Wu You under his tall back: "This kid may have telekinesis, and maybe he is defensive like Tom." ”

There are four types of energy trappers, prospectors, diggers, collectors, and monitors. Barron's Tom is the Monitor, who can put up a defensive shield to keep others safe.

If this child really has the ability to move freely in this environment, she must have great potential, and sending her to the Energy Catcher Association will grow into a big help, and it will not be in vain for them to come here.

"What's your name?" Barron asked.

Wu You smiled a little shyly and said, "Wu You." ”

"It's so cute!" Becky, who is also a woman, has to admit that this girl is too good-looking, and fortunately she is protected in this Fallout City, otherwise she will definitely become a prison for the rich.

"Have you always lived here? Is there anyone else here besides you? Barron asked.

Wu You nodded, shook her head again, she lowered her head gloomily and said, "It's just me and my dad here, but my dad is sick and said that he wants to find a place to treat his illness, let me fall asleep and wait for him... Have you seen my dad? ”

Becky shook her head almost invisibly at Barron, there were no other lifeforms left. The girl's father, who had either fled from here, was dead.

"Will you leave with us?" Barron thought of the possibility behind him, and unconsciously softened his voice.

"Can you take me to Daddy?" Wu You raised his eyelids, and his purple eyes shone like the most beautiful gems.

In the face of such a pure look, Barron couldn't bear to deceive her, he squatted down on one knee, looked into Wu You's eyes, and said seriously: "My name is Barron, I am an energy catcher, your father may be out of this city because of something, you can't survive if you stay here alone, I suggest you leave here with us to have a chance to find your father." ”

Even through the protective clothing, Wu You could still feel the sincerity in his words, and she nodded: "I am willing to go with you." Can I take something with me? ”

"Kid, you can't use the things here if you take them out, because they're too exposed to radiation and they're going to hurt you," Becky explained. ”

"I'll just take this, okay?" Wu You held the capsule and staggered out, she picked up the starry sky projector on the table. It was her father's last gift to her. Before she fell asleep, her father repeatedly explained that this projector was a very important thing, although she didn't know what was important, but she must take it away.

Becky stepped forward and probed it with the instrument, and was surprised to find that this projector did not exceed the tritium standard! Thinking that the instrument was malfunctioning, she tested the table next to her, and the instrument made a screeching sound.

"Is that okay?" Wu You hugged the projector tightly: "This is a gift left to me by my father." ”

"Yes." Becky glanced at Wu You with a deep look and nodded.

Wu You happily opened the wardrobe, took out a backpack, put the starlight projector in it, and carried it on his back. There is no meson space in this world, so she needs to disguise her space.

There are no living beings willing to set foot in this lonely city, and she must leave with their strength, otherwise she will not be able to get out of here by herself who does not know the year of the monkey.

Although Wu You was immune to radiation, Barron didn't want her to look too eye-catching, this peculiarity was too dangerous for her who had no ability to protect herself at this time, so he asked Becky to take out a protective suit and put it on for Wu You.
