Chapter 170: No. 139
At this time, Zhou Yu didn't know what to do, and being too close became a disadvantage. The opponent's combat strength is unknown, and a rash move may lead to fire, so he chooses to respond to all changes with no change.
"This big, big? You can also visit the morning market! The Governor nodded as he stepped back. It wasn't until he retreated a distance of about a meter that he could see the whole picture of this person under the firelight.
It's not quite accurate to say that he is human, it should be said that it is a corpse. But this corpse is very strange, he is neither hanging from the beams of the house nor on the table, but planted in a flower pot.
Exposed to the outside is his upper body, the lower half of his body below the navel is in a huge vessel, the whole person is skinny, without an inch of skin, dark red muscles are exposed in the air, the epidermis has long been oxidized, and it looks like a specimen in a laboratory.
I went and it turned out to be dead, scared to death. Zhou Yu hurriedly patted his little heart, shook his head with a wry smile, and continued to hold the torch to find Wei Ya.
It didn't matter when he walked, it startled the Metropolitan Governor. There is not just one corpse of this kind of flower pot, but it is neatly arranged horizontally and vertically, filling the entire underground space. Zhou Yu gasped, obediently! 1510, 252...
There were three or four hundred.
Do? Plants vs. Zombies, Kind of Pea Shooter? Zhou Yu was not only surprised to accidentally fall into the underground corpse, but to turn around and shout by himself, why didn't Wei Ya's little girl say anything? Could it be that she is being controlled by some kind of force? That is, there are others here!
Zhou Yu used his brain and had a plan. He found two bricks and set up the torches and placed them in the clearing. Quietly, quietly, creeping backwards until he retreated into the endless darkness, gazing at the torches and the light around them.
Since you play with dark arrows to hurt people, then don't blame Lao Tzu for the silver snake. The rope that the Grand Governor held in his hand led to the place where the torch was, and there were miscellaneous items underneath it, and only he knew where the knots were hidden in the ambush.
Hold your breath, hold your breath, try to control the amplitude of your inhale and exhale, and let everything be quiet. The Duke's heartbeat became the loudest noise around.
Bones, bones, a sound from far to near, a black shadow gradually appeared within the range of the firelight, the outline became clearer and clearer, Zhou Yu didn't dare to breathe, staring at the shadow quietly, waiting for it to show its true face.
But the sound of bones coming into the ears is not like footsteps, but rather something like the kind of medicine delivery cart that nurses push around in hospital wards.
Finally, the shadow completely walked to the trap, and Zhou Yu saw its true face. It was indeed a trolley, similar to the medicine cart in the ward and the shopping cart in the supermarket, except that the cart was pushing nothing else, it was Wei Ya. The child, not knowing whether he had been knocked unconscious or fainted, lay quietly in the car with his eyes closed and motionless.
The cart was pushing a non-human thing. The reason why Zhou Yu said this is because that guy has a humanoid appearance, but if you look closely, you will find that it is a machine, made of metal from head to toe, and instead of walking on his feet, it is a pair of tracks, no wonder Zhou Yu didn't hear the footsteps just now, and the sound of bones was made by the trolley and the tracks.
The robot buzzed its head three hundred and sixty degrees, as if searching for something. Perhaps no anomalies were found, but as soon as the upper half of his body turned, he pushed and pulled, ready to pull the medicine cart back into the darkness.
Okay, now is it. It doesn't matter if you're a human or a machine!
Zhou Yu threw off his arm and pulled it away, and the knot next to the torch contracted rapidly, locking one of the robot's tracks with a snap.
Run! The Governor put the rope on his shoulder, exerted all the strength of the milk, and ran forward with his back molars gritted, even though his feet hurt to the core.
He only felt the rope tighten on his shoulder, and then it seemed that there was a force weighing more than a thousand pounds to drag him back. You can't go back, you can't go back. But the rope in his hand was not so obedient, and it retracted in two large quantities in a row.
It's not good, it's not its opponent to work hard. What to do? Zhou Yu had an idea, and began to run around the experimental utensils all over the ground.
With a bang, the robot must have been slammed into the side wall of a vessel with a loud bang. Most of the governors must be sold cheaply, when the local sound is endless, don't you want to tug-of-war? Lao Tzu will play with you for a while Invincible Hot Wheels. See if your head is hard or if these metal utensils are hard.
Zhou Yu relied on his own memory, anyway, these flower pots were placed horizontally and vertically, as long as he didn't bump into them, everything would be fine, the guy who was dragging the rope behind him was smashed and pulled down, and now the most important thing is to make sure Wei Ya's safety, eliminate the guy behind him and then save the child.
Ping Pong banged the gong and drum, Zhou Yu felt that the force on his shoulder was much less, and he dragged the rope to the torch trap to check it carefully. The robot was broken in two, the upper body head was still spinning in the bones, and the track part of the lower body had long been gone, probably because it was thrown away after the impact.
Flickering, the position of the robot's eyes lit up a few times before being completely extinguished.
"Dead? Will this thing die too? Zhou Yu said to himself, he lowered his head and took a closer look. When it comes to craftsmanship, this artificial intelligence from other civilizations is really not sophisticated, from the lines to the materials, it is a minimalist Nordic style. How to describe it? I don't know if you've seen "Iron Fist", it's somewhat similar to Atom.
"Wei Ya, Wei Ya?" Zhou Yu hurriedly went to the flatbed truck to pick up the little girl and called her name.
"Ka, Kani, where am I?" The little girl slowly opened her eyes.
"No, it's okay, it's safe. How did you fall off? Zhou Yu has always wondered what happened after he pried open the handle.
"Just now, just now, there was a sudden emptiness under my feet, and then the whole person rolled down, and then all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, he fainted."
It turned out to be a fainting caused by the impact when rolling down, and it seems that Zhou Yu mistakenly blamed the half-cut robot under his feet. However, he does not regret it, and there is a rule of survival in the Borderlands: if you don't know whether the other party is friend or foe, treat them as enemies. This will ensure that you live longer.
"Come, I'll carry you down."
"Carney, what is this?" Xiao Weiya had never seen a robot, and of course it was impossible to believe that this thing could actually work and think like a human.
"Well, it's—it's a machine."
"Machines? Is it the same train we were on? ”
"Well, it's essentially the same."
"But why didn't it move? Motionless, as if dead. ”
"Oh, it might be broken. Come, let's go up! ”
"Ahh Wei Ya suddenly got into Zhou Yu's arms.
"He—How did they...
It turned out that she saw those halflings planted in the flower pots, not to mention that children couldn't accept it, and Zhou Yu almost lost his soul and seven souls when he saw it for the first time.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, they're all dead."
"Dead? Can a person still be planted in a pot? Wei Ya had only seen the flowers and plants that her mother had planted in pots, and she had never heard that people could also feed them like this.
"There are many things beyond the scope of your and my understanding, and I will tell you slowly in the future. Let's go, let's go up. ”
Just as Zhou Yu rolled up the rope and picked up the torch and prepared to go up the slope, there was a slight flicker everywhere his side light went.
"Hum, hum—" The yellow light flickered more and more rapidly, and finally the whole thing lit up.
It was the robot that had been cut in half by him, and its head lit up, just like when it first came over with a supermarket cart.
Hey, you're not going to die, are you? Zhou Yu paced over, raised his foot and was about to stomp down to give him a good time.
"What are you doing?" A milky voice stopped him.
Who's talking? Zhou Yu looked around vigilantly, and it was so dark that he couldn't see anything except for a few flower pot people.
"I..." And stomp the machine's head again.
"You, stop!"
Well?
"Is that you? Wei Ya, are you talking? ”
"No, no, it's not me, Carney."
"Do you hear anyone talking? Or am I having auditory hallucinations? ”
"Okay、Looks like the one you said... Machine! Wei Ya pointed to the soles of his feet.
Did the machine speak? Zhou Yu squatted down curiously, and looked carefully at the iron box that shone with yellow light: a fairly regular head, a boxy upper body, and the terminals of the two mechanical arms were actually a palm driving five fingers. Ten fingers twitched as power was restored, as if playing the piano. The Metropolitan Governor couldn't help but admire, this robot's craftsmanship was not exquisite, but it was definitely an epic existence for the era of Ru Mao's blood, and Sullivan's talking tree seemed a bit of a science fiction in comparison.
"Are you talking?" Zhou Yu sat down cross-legged, straightened the upper body of the robot, and placed it opposite him. He deliberately stayed about a meter away from the machine to prevent the pair of mechanical arms from going crazy and scratching his face. After going out like that, Anthony and the others must not think that he could not take a peek at the girl taking a bath here.
Bah, where did the girl come from, this creepy place is even more terrifying than Genting Heavenly Palace.
"Hum, it's me."
"Hey, you're smart, you can talk." Zhou Yu snapped his fingers. In fact, he had a lot of questions, and even wanted to fly back to Kuzsia with wings, dig through the tunnel in the reactor that was sealed by the black tooth Changzhi, and ask Sullivan what happened. Unfortunately, he didn't have a chance.
"Why are you attacking me?" The barbed wire mask on the robot's eyes flashed violently, turning from yellow to red. It seems to be angry.
"Hey, you're still angry?" Zhou Yu's childlike heart rose, and he actually slapped him, as if the game had been cleared.
"Why are you attacking me?" The robot stared at the red eyes and continued to ask.
It will be embarrassing to be asked the same question one after another, let alone by a machine. Besides, most of the governors are at a loss, and he is taking advantage of people's inattention to set a trap attack, and there is nothing to deny. But what makes people smarter than machines is that people can lie, machines don't.
Of course, machines shouldn't have joys and sorrows, but this one in front of them does, just like Sullivan. Zhou Yu wondered very much, how did you do it in that distant civilization.
"Oh, I—I didn't want to attack you, it was you who walked into my noose for no reason. If you accidentally bump into something like this while walking, can you blame others? Zhou Yukou defended himself with flowers.
The robot raised its mechanical arm and scratched its bulging skull. It's so amazing that it can even scratch its scalp and think like a human.
"Well, I believe in you. Even if you don't mean to, please give me back my feet. The robot pointed to the tracked lower body with its feet facing the sky in the distance.
"It's okay to give it back to you, but you have to swear not to hurt either of us." Although Zhou Yu let down half of his guard against it, he always felt that he should make sure that nothing went wrong.
"What is an oath, an oath?"
"Alas, I have served you, and I can't communicate. You're far worse than Sullivan. Zhou Yu sighed helplessly, after all, a machine is a machine, and no matter what, it can't be injected with human emotions.
"Sullivan, which Sullivan?" The robot's red mask turns back to yellow, indicating that it has returned from being irritable to calm.
"It's a tree, a big tree. Far away, you can't know each other. ”
"Why is it impossible, isn't it the same Sullivan who said to everyone, 'Come and see me often'?"
Zhou Yu sat on the ground, his mouth wide open enough to stuff an apple. No, this little guy really knows Sullivanye, otherwise how would he know the details? The best way to tell if a person is lying is to ask them for details.
"Old, dude!" The Metropolitan Governor swallowed and foamed, he could no longer treat this pile of scrap metal as garbage. Since this kid knows Sullivan, he is naturally a product and experiencer of the last civilization, and may have experienced the first and second wars between heaven and earth.
If it is left to its senses, the little one may be able to tell himself how to activate the ship in the Netherworld. When the time comes, flying to outer space will not be a dream, and it will be logical to dominate the five gates at the center of the universe.
Hi! It's all messy.
"Dude, what's your name?"
"I don't have a name, you can call me number 139."
"Number 139?" Zhou Yu frowned, have I arrived at the foot massage city? Or did you buy China Mobile's ultra-large capacity package?
"Well, there are a lot of soldiers like me, and 139 is just my code."
It turned out that the robot in front of him had never regarded itself as a machine, it had even always thought that it was a soldier, and the reason why those flesh-and-blood soldiers looked different from themselves in the appearance was because of everyone's different division of labor.
"Then 139, why are you here?"
"Work, of course, because of work."
"What kind of work, what kind of work is it in the dark?" Zhou Yu spread his hands in confusion.
"To train warriors for the Empire, of course. Well, here it is. 139 proudly unfolded his robotic arm and performed a typical chest expansion exercise.
Zhou Yu looked left and right, these half-cut corpses in the flower pot were imperial soldiers? What empire? What fighters?
"What empire?"
"W-what..." This question turned 139 upside down, and its two mechanical arms tapped on its metal skull at the same time, seemingly speeding up the calculation, looking very painful.
"What kind of empire is it?"
"I—I can't remember."
"Can't remember? Why can't you remember something so important? How do you remember everything else? You melon baby! Zhou Yu came up in a hurry, jumped up directly from the ground, and pointed at 139 to scold.
"I—I really can't remember! Who let me, who let you just cut off my power. 139 said with a complaining tone.
Hey, he will still be wronged and complain! Zhou Yu slapped his head. No, I want to be quiet, I have to be quiet.
