Chapter 459: Ruined City

As a pillar of light descended from the sky, the Wandering Earth investigation team appeared in an overgrown city, surrounded by high-rise buildings that had long been abandoned, all covered with dense plants, like hanging gardens.

The ground is overgrown with weeds, rusty cars are parked on the side of the road, bicycles have even grown into tree trunks, and plastic bags are fluttering in the wind like tumbleweeds.

Such a scene is very reminiscent of the picture in the documentary "After the Disappearance of Mankind", human civilization seems to have long since perished, and nature is erasing the traces of human existence, but it will be a long time.

It's a strange beauty born on the ruins, so dilapidated that everything is so vibrant, and it makes people feel that life is still going on.

"Be on guard!"

The personnel of the Wandering Earth Survey Team are not in the mood to enjoy the surrounding scenery, and they must make sure that the teleportation point is safe as soon as possible in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Especially after discovering that the human civilization in this world has been so decayed, they must be even more careful about the reasons for all this, and maybe it will also pose a fatal threat to them.

The members of the investigation team are on guard in all directions, and the enemy who does not yet know his true face is the most terrifying, and he cannot let his guard down against any abnormalities.

At this moment, Liu Peiqiang found a small robot, which looked like an Android robot, feeling like an oil drum with a long head and limbs, and a rag hanging as a cloak. Wander through the ruins of human civilization and collect waste like a scavenger.

Truth be told, it doesn't seem like a threat, and it's even a little cute. The rusty body looks like it's never been maintained, and it doesn't look like a high-tech product, like a steampunk-style clockwork robot.

Even so, Liu Peiqiang did not put down the gun easily, and always aimed at this strange little robot, or a mechanical lifeform like a Transformer, after all, it was not confirmed whether they were made by humans.

The small robot turned its round head to search around, and finally found Liu Peiqiang and the others who were staring at it, at this moment its eyes flashed a red light, and repeated like a broken machine:

"Discover, enemy! Discover, enemy! Found, enemy!······"

As he spoke, the small robot ran over on two small short legs, its hands spinning wildly like a windmill, giving the impression that it was a small fist punching your chest, and attacking the Wandering Earth Survey Team in an orderly manner.

Liu Peiqiang did not hesitate to fire, and a single shot hit the small robot in the head and knocked it to the ground.

The depleted uranium projectile accelerated by the electromagnetic orbit easily penetrated the small robot's shell, opening a large hole in its head and bleeding out of it a liquid that looked like engine oil.

However, this shot did not directly kill it, and the small robot stood up again, covering its wounds and repeating:

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts······"

Liu Peiqiang couldn't help frowning, the actions of this small robot were obviously full of stiff mechanical sense, but it made such a humane behavior, it felt very weird, as if a machine was constantly imitating human behavior.

At the end of the day, does it really feel pain? And it is constantly re-read as if it were the essence of a human being, giving people a rather subtle feeling, not like a normal artificial intelligence.

At this moment, the small robot suddenly pulled out a laser cannon from its chest and tried to counterattack the Wandering Earth Survey team.

Seeing this, Liu Peiqiang hurriedly ordered: "Kill it!" ”

In an instant, several members of the investigation team opened fire on it at the same time, and the powerful fire instantly tore through the small robot, breaking it into a pile of broken parts, until it was completely out of shape.

At this time, Liu Peiqiang cautiously walked over, picked up the parts of the small robot, and found that its overall structure was indeed like a toy, only the laser cannon equipped on the chest was not a joke, it was like a machine gun mounted on a stroller, which was as unreasonable as it was, and it also made people feel even more weird and uneasy.

"It's these toy-like robots that have destroyed the humans of this world?"

Liu Peiqiang couldn't help but guess that, judging by the actions taken by the small robot when it spotted them, these guys did indeed treat humans as enemies.

It's just that who made such a bad toy soldier is as casual as loading a bomb on a remote-controlled car as a self-detonating truck, and installing the most advanced laser cannon in such a simple and dilapidated robot, even the Wandering Earth military, who are accustomed to carrying cannons in small cars, can't even look at it.

Everything here feels very weird, it is obviously the world after the destruction of human civilization, but it feels alive and everything is revived.

What's even weirder is of course this small robot, which looks so harmless to humans and animals, almost like a child's toy, but is equipped with extremely ferocious advanced weapons.

Judging from the caliber of this laser cannon, being hit by a shot is not a joke, it is simply pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, if you are really deceived by its appearance and relax your vigilance, I am afraid that it will be bombarded to the point that there is no scum left.

In any case, the investigation team temporarily confirmed the security around the teleportation point, and after finding no more robots nearby, they notified the Wandering Earth to teleport the follow-up troops, and asked them to bring the destroyed robot parts back to the Central Academy of Sciences for research and analysis.

Soon after, Wang Lei led the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force to teleport over, and their task was to build a frontline base and prepare fortifications around the teleportation point to facilitate the Coalition Government's next move.

Like Liu Peiqiang, Wang Lei was also taken aback by the strange and strange scenes in this world.

It's not that they haven't seen the world after the destruction of human civilization, for example, the Resident Evil plane they experienced before, but there are walking dead everywhere, and the ground is covered with stumps and blood, which of course is not beautiful.

"It looks like a world long after the destruction of human civilization."

Wang Lei said to Liu Peiqiang that it is only after the disappearance of human beings for thousands of years that it is possible to form such a unique scene.

"I know, I was really told by Qiao Lu."

Liu Peiqiang looked at this silent abandoned city, and said with a serious look in his eyes: "But in this case, why is there still a radio repeatedly emphasizing that the glory of mankind will always exist?" ”

That's what they're going to look into next.
