Chapter Twenty-Five: Getting to the Bottom of the Matter
Wu Liao observed the large and small robots through the portholes of the lounge. In his cognition, the world of robots should be divided into men and women, young and old, but looking at this situation is no different from a mother comforting a child of seven or eight years old. They all sat in the corner, not knowing what they were talking about, but they always looked a little nervous.
Zhao Jie snuggled by the window alone angrily: "Boss? Why don't we just kill them? His parents did not survive Chinese New Year's Eve, and revenge has long been his only motivation. His personality is more extreme than that of the Grim Reaper.,When he sees a robot on a mission on weekdays, he always wants to kill him quickly.γ
"Don't be so naΓ―ve, okay?" Huanhuan fiddled with the hem of his trousers and said without raising his head.
"What?" Zhao Jie straightened up suddenly, his eyes spraying firelight, like a mad lion. "They're robots! How many compatriots have been killed, and how much blood are they stained on their hands? You call me naΓ―ve? He snorted contemptuously.
Huanhuan raised his head, and the usual charm on his face disappeared without a trace at this time, replaced by a look of anger: "Who are they?" Why is it here? The entire fleet of cyborg is dead, only two of them are alive? Aren't you curious at all? Do you know how to fight and kill? What can you do if you kill one or two more robots, and can you change the situation now? β
Faced with the aggressive eyes and a series of questions, Zhao Jie realized that he was not thoughtful, and his voice was a little weaker: "Then it also kidnapped Laura!" Almost... As he spoke, he shifted his face to Laura's direction, praying for Laura's approval.
Laura, who was squatting on the side and carefully studying the structure of the mechanical dog, was suddenly mentioned, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her little face, and she thought for a moment: "It's okay Brother Zhao Jie, it didn't cause me any harm, you see, I'm not good?" As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe and turned around lightly, with a sweet smile on his face.
"Boss!" Zhao Jie still didn't give up.
The Grim Reaper gently hugged Zhao Jie's shoulders
"Leave it to me, don't worry."
This lounge is not small, about eight or nine square meters, and there is a bed in the middle. Outside the porthole was a tree that had rotted for a long time, and its jagged dead branches were like demons with teeth and claws in the yellow sand-covered world. The door suddenly opened, and the robot immediately stood up alertly, shielding the short man behind him, staring fiercely in the direction of the doorway.
"I have some questions to ask." Death's words were cold without a trace of warmth, and he could never forget the last smile his mother handed him.
The cyborg didn't let his guard down in the slightest, and his body arched slightly.
The Grim Reaper spread his hands out, indicating that he was not carrying any weapons. Laura, cowering behind him, bared her head out and looked at them curiously.
"I'm sorry." The robot finally spoke, but its hands were still tightly protecting the little robot behind him. "I didn't mean to hurt you." It said to Laura, in a sincere tone.
"Before I answer your question, I want to ask you something, I don't know if I can?" The cyborg is still a little hostile. It could see that the man in front of him covered in scars should be the person in charge of this place.
Death turned and closed the door, the smoke from his mouth emitting cyan gas, hovering in the cramped cabin. "I want to hear about it."
"What's going on here?" The robot quickly threw the question. "The other day we only felt a violent shaking here, and then the door of the cargo hold remained closed until we met this little girl."
The Grim Reaper raised an eyebrow, didn't they know about the attack?
"This battleship was destroyed by a warship from Hailing City." He deliberately accentuated the three words Hailing City, hoping to get some response from the robot in front of him.
Sure enough, the robot's eyebrows twitched, and it responded softly: "This is also expected, the relationship between Sky City and Hailing City is not good, and the two sides are often tense. But I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. β
Castle in the sky? The god of death secretly said in his heart, what is the city in the sky? But he didn't show it on his face, but waited calmly for the robot's words.
"What about Bowman? How is he? β
"Bowman is dead." The Grim Reaper stared at the robot tightly, and did not show the panicked expression he imagined, what he didn't expect was that the robot was much more relaxed.
The cyborg was visibly relieved. He didn't look so nervous anymore, and his hunched body relaxed slightly. "This bastard is finally dead, and he deserves it."
This sentence made the Grim Reaper scratch his head, could there be any contradiction between this robot and Bowman?
Seeing the Grim Reaper's incomprehensible expression, the cyborg pushed the short man in front of him and pointed to the bed in front of him. After receiving a response from death, he placed it on the bed.
"Hello, human." The female robot bowed slightly, which was considered to have said hello.
"Don't talk nonsense. Why are you on Bowman's ship? Do you know what he did? You, your army of cyborgs, slaughtered tens of thousands of humans below! Do we have to exterminate humanity? Death crushed the cigarette butt, not caring about the temperature of the scarlet cigarette butt.
The cyborg smiled bitterly: "I know that robots have done a lot of harm to humans, and I have read that history, but please believe me, robots are not all evil. Suddenly, his tone changed: "However, you also carry the lives of many robots on your hands. Although there is no blood to shed among our compatriots, you human beings are also sinners of history and butchers! β
Death snorted coldly, "To be honest, I don't want to discuss right and wrong with you now. Say, why are you on this ship? Listen to you, you don't have a good relationship with Bowman. β
The cyborg pondered for a moment, but decided to tell the Grim Reaper the truth.
"We're robots from Foothills, and it's a beautiful and rich place. Compared to Sky City or Hailing City, Foothill City is simply too small, and it has no combat power. However, Foothill City is currently the most technologically advanced place in the entire robot world. The ship you're hijacking is the one I designed. It had some pride on its face.
"I was out on the fly that day, and I was driving the Leap Forward." Seeing the Grim Reaper's confused appearance, it quickly explained: "It's this spaceship, and when it was on its way back, it happened to meet them!" Thereupon.. β
The cyborg clenched his fists and said angrily, "It's sending a few combat ships to coerce us here!" Locked in the cargo hold and not allowed to enter or exit! I tried to contact Foothills, only to find that my signal was cut off, and Bowman hadn't spoken to me all this time! This was simply a naked kidnapping, and since it had already flown a long distance at that time, Foothill City did not find out. Then I saw you. β
The Grim Reaper bowed his head and pondered, "So the fleet of Hailing City has followed Bowman all the way here?" No, if they were really tailgating all the way, Bowman wouldn't have had a chance to attack the Ryulin bunker. β
"I don't know, we were already locked in the hold, and you know, even if Bowman's ship crashed, it would be safe and sound."
"Then what are the things you call Sky City and Hailing City?"
The cyborg replied softly: "Sky City and Hailing City are two of the most radical factions in the mech world, and they have single-handedly planned all the plans to clean up the human race, and after so many years, the human race has also disappeared from the ground. Sensing that the threat is gradually decreasing, they are all delusional to dominate the whole world single-handedly, and they may finally be unable to bear it. β
The Grim Reaper stood up and paced back and forth in the small room, finally asking, "What about you?" Where did you go that day? β
The robot didn't raise his head and said, "This is a private matter, no comment." β
