Mechanical Memory: Chapter 14

For Xu Hezhi, she had another bleak weekend.

It's Sunday afternoon, and there are only two days left before the encirclement operation. At the moment, she was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room. Even though the TV in front of her was playing interesting and amusing variety shows, she didn't mean to watch it at all. Her consciousness has always been immersed in the past.

Past? No, she struggled not to recall her "lifetime" memories, because the amount of information was too large, and that would lead to an overload of the brain, which would be detrimental to herself. If she wanted to, she could recall everything that had happened, every person, every word that had happened in her memory. Perhaps for her, the past is the present.

All she was thinking about now was how to deal with the terrifying armed robots on her own and protect her companions.

Just as she was immersed in "self-analysis", the sudden ringing of the doorbell couldn't help but interrupt her thoughts.

Looking through the doorway, I saw Hao Wu standing there straight.

They hadn't spoken for about two days since they left the mechanical room.

He Zhi opened the door and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I. . . I want to come and see you. For some reason, Hao Wu's face turned red, and his original masculinity suddenly disappeared.

"Come in and say something."

So, the couple sat down in the living room, they faced each other, and the heavy atmosphere seemed to gradually coil between them.

"That day, I spoke too impulsively, so I'll apologize to you first." Hao Wu spoke first.

"There's nothing unapologetic, it's just that we don't agree." He Zhi said calmly.

"He Zhi, to be honest, I really don't want to see you, constantly destroying yourself and getting hurt again and again in order to help others. Last time, you lost your own body in order to save Li Zhe. So this time I don't want to see you again, and I'm willing to wear out my soul for our sake. Hao Wu cried and expressed his heart to He Zhi.

He Zhi saw Hao Wu's uncomfortable appearance, so he stepped forward and took the initiative to hold his hand.

"I'm sorry I ignored what you thought of me. But, Xiao Wu, in this matter, who else can protect our team besides me? ”

Hao Wu suddenly laughed after hearing this, and said, "He Zhi, in fact, I think that after the operation, you suddenly lacked something very important. ”

"What is it?" He Zhi asked.

"Trust." Hao Wu said excitedly, "In our team, since I became the captain, everyone has teamwork as the main goal. He Zhi, have you forgotten? ”

Hao Wu's words couldn't help but make the memories she had burned in her mind flicker continuously. When she first joined Hao Wu's team, when they first acted, when new partners joined... Many, much more.

"I have to admit that after the surgery, you have almost a capacity beyond what a human can achieve. But no matter what is important, it is not possible for one person to do it, trust me, trust our partners. ”

He Zhi shook his somewhat hot head, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, I believe in you, don't hold me back then." Like Li Zhe, he may still be the object of attention and care. After all, I had already taken my life on him last time. ”

Hearing He Zhi say it so humorously, Hao Wu couldn't help but be amused again.

"Do you remember the beginning? A kidnapped kid turned to me and asked me if he could become a police officer. I actually laughed in my heart at the time, so much so that I will never forget this incident for the rest of my life. But who knows? When I was recruiting a new person that day, I saw his application form and I was really stunned. Although it is said that his physical fitness was not good when he was in the police academy, his written test results were still very good, which shows that he worked hard. Hao Wu said with relief.

He Zhi listened quietly and nodded.

"Actually, I came here today to talk to you about something." Hao Wu looked into He Zhi's eyes, and then said, "I hope that after this operation, you can quit your job as a police officer." ”

"Why do you say that all of a sudden?" He Zhi asked in surprise.

"Because I think that if you continue to work as a police officer now, you will be farther and farther away from ordinary life. If you go on like this, you will feel extremely empty. Whenever I think of you like this, my heart is very uncomfortable. ”

"So, what do you think I should do?" He Zhi asked, trying to find the answer.

Hao Wu smiled as he knelt down on one knee towards He Zhi.

I saw him take out a small box and say, "When you become my wife, I hope you can find the share that belongs only to you - ordinary happiness." ”

Hao Wu opened the small box, and a diamond ring with white light shone inside.

"Miss Xu Hezhi, are you willing to marry me?"

He Zhi saw this diamond ring, hesitated a little, and replied: "Of course I do, stupid!" Bring it for me! ”

"Okay, okay." Hao Wu slowly put the ring on the ring finger of He Zhi's right hand, "Why did you suddenly change your appearance again?" It feels a little like you used to be. ”

"But now, it's me anyway." He Zhi's answer couldn't help but make Hao Wu a little clueless.

While He Zhi was overjoyed, he suddenly seemed to realize the problem, so he asked, "But does the director agree?" If I resign, it will be a huge loss for them. ”

Hao Wu didn't say anything, only said that he would find a way, so that she didn't have to worry about money. So I fooled this in advance. Since He Zhi knew that Hao Wu was a very upright person, he felt that he would definitely raise money through legitimate channels, so he didn't ask too much.

And just like that, the next day came quickly. Today, for the first team of the criminal police team, there is a particularly important group drill task: simulating a battle with robots.

He Zhi came to the mechanical room at 9 o'clock in the morning. After some discussion with her fiancΓ©, although she no longer plans to improve her brain abilities, she thinks that she can modify her physical performance through external surgery.

"What do you think you need to improve?" Haiming asked.

"A lot, like attack, defense, mobility, etc." He Zhi said it without hesitation.

"In that case, why don't I help you transform into a Terminator?"

"I'll excuse you if I can."

β€œSTOP!!!” Haiming shouted, "There must be something wrong with your humor system." ”

He Zhi walked up to him and said, "Please, is there any feasible way?" Tomorrow is the day of action. ”

Hai Ming looked at He Zhi with a serious look, sighed and said, "If you want to help you transform quickly and let you use it freely in the future, there is really nothing you can do." All I can think of is a bulletproof shield on your arm. β€œ

"Will this work?"

Haiming instructed her to lie down on the instrument, and he pulled up He Zhi's sleeve tube, found the position on her arm for plugging in and charging, and opened the flap of the artificial skin on the surface.

"This is it, you just need to install the bulletproof shield here, and leave the specific operation to me!" Haiming said confidently.
