Chapter 11: Coming Home to Visit Mom

Zhao Hui was afraid of losing more time on the road, so he chose the airbus fifteen minutes later.

In the sixth area, there is a very peculiar phenomenon here, where private aircraft come and go in the air, and oxen or horse-drawn carts appear on the ground from time to time; On the east side of the road, there are fully automatic programme-controlled machines, while on the west side of the road, farmers are harvesting wheat with scythes.

The inhabitants were armed with guns or other weapons, and all the buildings were surrounded by barriers and tall barbed wire.

On the border with the 1st arrondissement, look up to see towering superbuildings and low-altitude taxis that never want to cross the border. The hovering train whizzed past the grid, but had nothing to do with the Sixth Sector on this side of the wall.

Huge holographic advertisements that run all night will reflect the wheat fields in the distance in a variety of colors.

Due to the lack of adequate feed-throughs in the 6th arrondissement, Airbus was only able to stop at a few designated locations. Zhao Hui has to walk back to the farm where his mother works for about 20 minutes. In fact, he was fortunate that some of the residents in more remote areas had to walk for several hours.

This is a harvest season, the millet in the field is already ripe, and the waves of rice are caressed by the wind, like a mother caressing Zhao Hui when he was a child.

Seeing Zhao Hui come back, my mother was very happy. Quickly throw away the work in hand and follow him, the fatigue of long hours of work disappeared in an instant.

The mother decided to just cook a casual meal today and cook a big meal tomorrow at noon to see off her son. Zhao Hui will return to the fourth district tomorrow afternoon, otherwise he will not be able to rush to work on Monday morning.

In addition to helping with some simple housework, Zhao Hui spent more time hiding in a quiet corner and playing with his mobile phone. Of course, he is different from others, not because he is addicted to some imbecile and brainless game.

Either discuss a certain technology with Situ Yao, or check the latest developments of the Pioneer team on the APP.

Situ Yao said: "In the Pioneer team, you should be the only one who can enter the sixth district. ”

Zhao Hui nodded, and said with certainty: "It is precisely because of this that Aokang needs me even more, and needs special people like us to exist, those people in the AI R&D center, who can muster up the courage to enter the sixth district from the second district?" ”

"So, are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid! I heard that the Storm patients in the 6th District are very cruel and feed on people. "Zhao Hui is also telling the truth, if you look at it from a different angle, storm virus carriers are indeed a very dangerous species.

There are some things that Situ Yao can't understand with the information he currently knows, "Then why don't you take your mother to your side?" ”

"There are so many reasons, and lack of money is the main reason. Also, it's good now, there's no need to change. ”

"I was born in the Sixth District, did you report it to the host?"

"Why not? What happened to District 6? X-OS doesn't discriminate like you humans. As long as they are not storm people, they are all the same in Situ Yao's eyes. ”

Zhao Hui kept nodding and accepting Situ Yao's statement.

I always thought that X-OS was just a program, an interactive system based on artificial intelligence and human thinking, but now I think more and more that Situ Yao can replace him in the virtual world and complete some tasks that he can't complete in reality.

"Hey, hey!"

Facing Zhao Hui, who was suddenly smirking, Situ Yao was a little inexplicable, "What are you laughing at stupidly?" ”

"Suddenly it's a little evil."

"Huh?"

Zhao Hui rolled his eyes, fantasizing about the future he thought was possible, "If ......, I mean if, one day I don't want to go to work, and you help me turn on the computer and deal with the day's work, will the company still pay me?" ”

"Theory is okay. Not only that, but I can also access Lihao's attendance system and attend on your behalf! ”

"Also, if I run out of money one day, can you also add more money to my bank card?"

"Theory is okay. But this kind of thing doesn't seem to be in line with the X-OS code of conduct, so it's not feasible. Situ Yao's analysis is absolutely reasonable, she doesn't need to spend too much time thinking about it.

"It's just assumptions, not really asking you to do it. But then again, we're good friends, aren't we? One day when you don't have anything to eat, will you break the X-OS code of conduct and steal something for me to eat? ”

"Uh......"

Situ Yao didn't know how to answer this kind of question, and the emotions she understood had to help her good friend when she was in trouble. But stealing is illegal after all, and the program will never support her to do so.

Zhao Hui didn't really want her to answer the question right away, turned back to the beginning, and said, "Okay! Then start with work. ”

The mother cooked the meal and came over to call her son. "Zhao Hui, who are you talking to?"

Zhao Hui turned off his phone in a panic and replied, "A friend! ”

The mother hurriedly took a few steps back, obviously afraid of letting her son's friends see it. This is an extremely dangerous move, and people from all over the district must be more vigilant.

When my mother was young, she had seen the world before, and I heard her talk about living with her father in the first district more than 20 years ago, until Zhao Hui's father accidentally contracted the storm virus at work.

The girl in his son's phone should be his female friend, I don't see what she looks like, but the voice is still very good.

"Got a girlfriend?"

"Nope! Just friends, met in the game. ”

Zhao Hui was serious, but his sincere answer immediately made his mother unhappy.

Mom has unspeakable pain in her heart, according to Zhao Hui's situation, he naturally can't have a girlfriend. But when you reach the age of 20, if you don't find a girlfriend, it will arouse the suspicion of the neighbors around you.

Zhao Hui tried to stay calm.

Mom let out a long sigh, "Alas! Let's eat! ”

It's finally time, this is Zhao Hui's happiest moment.

On the small table, the freshly killed chicken was specially placed, which was a rare meat.

"Eat it! Must be starving. The mother put away the anger that had just hung on her face and gently beckoned her son to eat.

Zhao Hui was already drooling, grabbed the whole piece of raw chicken and devoured it.

The mother stood quietly at the door, looking back at her son from time to time. She knew that her son was miserable outside, and she could find the answer from his face that had been emaciating recently.

"Mom, you can eat too!"

"I don't eat it, you can eat it!"

Zhao Hui shook his head, almost forgetting that his mother was not infected with the storm virus. So I stopped talking and ate as much as I could, which was the best gratitude to my mother.

When he finished licking the last piece of meat on his fingers, his mother took out the pre-packed meat from the cupboard and handed it to Zhao Hui for him to take to his residence in the fourth district.

The mother was very worried that her son would be exposed because of the illness, so she would send him some raw meat from time to time.
