I don't know how long it took, Hao Wu slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly a full feeling of weakness surged into his whole body. He found himself lying in a hospital bed at this time.

It turns out that I'm still alive. He thought.

He suddenly noticed that beside him, He Zhi was sitting on a chair next to the hospital bed with his eyes closed, looking like he was sleeping. She's connected to the charging cable on her wrist.

He glanced at the clock on the bedside table and saw that it was midnight.

He tried to sit up, but suddenly he felt an excruciating pain in his calf, and he couldn't help but scream.

He Zhi suddenly opened his eyes, saw Hao Wu's painful appearance, and quickly got up to help him lie down: "You can't move now!" The doctor said that you need to lie down and rest for a while. ”

"My feet!" Hao Wu said bitterly.

He Zhi sat down and said with a little anger: "Xiao Wu, you stupid! Why did you hold me back then? also blocked *** damage for me, so that now you are not only covered in injuries, but even your right foot, is gone! ”

Hao Wu stretched out his hand, stroked He Zhi's cheek, and smiled.

"What's so funny?" She pushed Hao Wu's hand away.

"Fool, I'm relieved that you're okay. How could I bear to see my fiancée blown into a pile of broken iron? The last time I didn't have time to save you, I swore that if there was a next time, I would rather sacrifice myself than protect you. ”

Hao Wu's words made He Zhi not know how to refute. "Huh, stupid!"

"Didn't you still want to save Rijima Katsu at that time? How is he doing now? Did it survive? Hao Wu then asked.

He Zhi shook his head helplessly: "He didn't seem to have any intention of running away at that time, I watched him being devoured by ***." ”

"That was terrible. However, he also got the retribution he deserved. Hao Wu said.

Since the day of the action, He Zhi has not mentioned to anyone what she said when she was alone with Rijima Katsu, and she chose to remain silent about this matter.

Early the next morning, when I learned that Captain Hao Wu had woken up, everyone came to visit him.

And Hao Wu didn't realize until the morning that he had been lying in the hospital for more than a week.

Li Zhe was the first to come that day, and when he came, he had a large bouquet of flowers in his hand, saying that everyone bought it for the captain. After Hao Wu received the flowers, he was naturally very happy.

After everyone came, Hao Wu said solemnly: "I want to announce an important thing to everyone, and you also know that I lost half of my leg in this operation, so this job as a criminal police officer is over for me." ”

Everyone was silent after hearing this, after all, there was no way to do it.

"Then who will inherit the position of captain in the future?" Li Zhe asked.

After hearing this, Hao Wu looked at the uncle standing in the corner and said, "Who is the person we have been a policeman here for the longest time?" ”

The uncle glanced at Hao Wu, understood what he meant, and excused himself and said, "Hey, hey, I don't want to be a captain, the pressure is too great, I can't do it!" ”

"I think back then, my uncle still relied on your guidance and companionship to achieve what I am now. In fact, I know very well that you are no worse than any other person. Although I understand that you don't want to be the captain, there is no one else who can hold this position except you. Uncle, take it as a favor I owe you. Hao Wu said sincerely.

"But I think He Zhi is more suitable to be the captain, with her strength, we are like ants." Uncle replied.

"Actually... . He Zhi suddenly interjected, "After this operation, I plan to resign from this job as a police officer. ”

Her answer undoubtedly surprised everyone other than Hao Wu, after all, with her ability, it can be said that she can be perfectly used in the profession of the police. But who knew that she suddenly wanted to resign.

"Although part of this is Xiao Wu's meaning, through this action, I also feel that I am a special existence in this society. I am both a robot and a human. So I wanted to use this identity to understand the connection between humans and robots more deeply, rather than being treated as a weapon to live. ”

After hearing He Zhi's explanation, everyone was out of line.

At this time, Li Zhe suddenly said on the side: "Captain Hao Wu, Sister He Zhi, no matter what your choice is, I will support you." All the while, I want to formally thank you. After all, it was Captain Hao Wu who gave me my own goal in life, so that I could become a police officer. And Sister He Zhi gave me a second life, a second chance, so that I could continue on this path. Thank you so much. When he had finished speaking, he bowed deeply to them.

After He Zhi and Hao Wu listened, they suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

The uncle walked up to Li Zhe, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "But in the end, it's up to your own will, and they just pushed you on the side." Isn't there a saying that when you save others, you also save yourself. ”

After listening to the uncle's words, everyone nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, now that things have come to this point, then I have to accept the important responsibility of captain." As soon as he finished speaking, he ordered the others: "I will return to the police station in the afternoon and immediately start recruiting new people, now our team is seriously understaffed, we must hurry!" ”

"Okay, uncle!" The crowd replied

"Call me Captain from now on!" The uncle sighed helplessly.

After everyone left, He Zhi asked Hao Wu worriedly: "What should I do about my resignation, do you need me to talk to the director in person?" ”

"Probably not, I'll contact the commissioner then." Hao Wu replied.

"But we can't come up with that much money."

"Not necessarily." Hao Wu smiled evilly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the ward. When he came in, he saw that he was wearing a suit and looked very dignified.

"Hello, I was specially sent by the insurance company, and this is the amount of insurance to pay you, totaling 6 million yuan." As he spoke, he opened the box and saw that it was full of cash.

He Zhi glanced at Hao Wu. "Are you . . . . ."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but in fact, I bought a high amount of insurance for myself not long ago, for fear that something would happen to me, and I could use this money in exchange for your freedom in life."

"But congratulations." He Zhi showed a disdainful expression.

After the man left, Hao Wu asked He Zhi, "At first, I thought that you were still reluctant to give up on this profession. Have you suddenly figured it out and are planning to pursue another career? ”

"Yes, I am going to become a teacher, and I think that in this era of gradual development with artificial intelligence as the main body of development, there is a need for someone who can lead the young people of this era in close proximity. At the same time, I can learn a lot for myself. ”

"Yes, I feel at ease when I hear you say that." Hao Wu smiled happily.

In the days that followed, He Zhi accompanied Hao Wu in the hospital, waiting for him 24 hours a day. Seriously, Hao Wu felt an invisible pressure.

Unexpectedly, one day, Director Wu came to visit them. He told them that because of this operation, the two of them were named city heroes and received a prize of nearly 2 million.

Just as Hao Wu mentioned to him about He Zhi's resignation, the director shook his hand at him and said, "Seeing that you are not ready to ask for anything from you this time when you are born and die for everyone. If Xu Hezhi really plans to resign, then we will not hinder you. ”

After listening to this, they couldn't help but express their gratitude to the director.

A month passed like this, and Hao Wu had almost recovered, and the doctor told him that he could be discharged from the hospital. It's just that he can only live in a wheelchair for the time being, but the doctor said that he can be fitted with a prosthetic leg if he wants to.

On the day he was discharged from the hospital, everyone was waiting at the door to welcome Hao Wu home. When He Zhi pushed Hao Wu to the gate of the hospital, because there were quite a lot of people in the inpatient department of the hospital that day, He Zhi inadvertently rubbed a woman who just wanted to enter the door. The woman looked very young, only about 25 years old, but He Zhi was stunned, and when she noticed the woman's eyes, she found that she had eyes of the same color as herself.

. . . . . .

At this time, there was an isolated uninhabited island south of Aixing City.

A robot slowly crawls out of the metal box. He looked around ahead, and there was a dense jungle.

At that moment, he heard a voice.

From now on, create and prosper, this is a world that belongs to you! The voice said.

The robot picked up the box and stepped onto the island, he slowly moved forward, and his figure gradually disappeared into the seemingly endless jungle.
