Chapter 13: Discovery

Ah Yi knelt on the ground, stared at the quiet village, slowly bowed down, leaned over and kissed the land where he had once stood, religiously like a pilgrim.

"Let's go!"

He got up, his eyes swept over the village, staring at the tracks left behind by the chariot's tracks, and followed it all the way, leading the group to run forward.

Zhou He patted his head with his hand, and there was a murmur of 'snort' in his head from time to time, didn't he just break his head by Ah Yi's punch?

He was worried about this, and he didn't know if the sound he had just heard was his auditory hallucination, whether it would be like the video after waking up, the unfamiliar voice was also implanted in his brain.

Da Fifteen followed behind Zhou He with a gun, and he was responsible for looking at Zhou He, which was Ah Yi's order.

"At such a speed, I don't know when I can catch up."

Zhou He thought to himself, not fast or slow to keep up, countless images of subspecies flashed in his mind, he was really curious, what kind of life form could force a human with high intelligence to such an unbearable situation.

But no one will tell him, even if it is the people who were friendly to him before, such as the fifteenth, but after the previous misunderstanding, all the friendship no longer exists, and some are only vigilant and resistant.

In this regard, Zhou He could not do anything.

"I'm glad you're awake."

It was that voice again, with the magnetic voice unique to a mature man, and it sounded in his head again. "I'm the professor's tiny system implanted in your brain, which stores a lot of precious scientific and technological data, my name is Star Core."

It introduced itself, interrupting Zhou He's cranky thoughts, the pace of running suddenly stopped, startled the big fifteen behind him, subconsciously stretched out the gun, put the muzzle of the gun against his back, and asked vigilantly: "What are you doing?" ”

"Oh... I'm a little dizzy. ”

After reacting, he held his forehead with his hand, pretended to be uncomfortable, shook his head, and continued to follow the crowd forward.

"Star core?"

Zhou He's lips, who were slowly trotting up, trembled slightly, and asked in a very small voice.

"Yes sir."

It responded, but its voice was a little choppy: "I'm sorry sir... There was a slight glitch in the system... Need... Temporarily dormant ······"

"What?"

Zhou He couldn't hear it very clearly, but when he asked again, the voice had disappeared.

"Star core?"

He took a deep breath, it was actually a system implanted in his head, and in the picture he saw after he woke up, the old professor seemed to have said such a thing, and there were many scientific and technological materials stored in it.

"It doesn't seem to help me in my current situation."

He thought bitterly.

The day after following the tracks left by the Chariot of the Subspecies, the weather was getting worse.

The mournful cry of the wind 'whining', like a sharp knife cutting across the face, Ah Yi led everyone to hide under the low lying, avoiding the invasion of the wind, this gust of wind was blowing too strongly, so that people couldn't move forward at all, and they couldn't even open their eyes.

Under the rolling dark clouds, the silver snakes writhed wildly with the rumbling thunder, and after a while, the downpour fell loudly, and under the rain curtain, it was no longer possible to see the distant scenery clearly. In just a few moments, one stream after another converged to form a torrent of great scale, and all the people in the low-lying areas were spared, escaping the storm, but not the shower, and the muddy water washed down drenched them into soup.

"Ahh

It was a sad cry, Ah Yi rushed into the rain curtain like crazy, and waved the gun in his hand vigorously at the sky, but it was probably because of the slippery hand and threw the gun out of his hand······ He clenched his hands into fists and pounded his chest so hard that he was almost out of breath·······

Raising his head to face the rain washaway, Ah Yi screamed hysterically until he ran out of air in his lungs and could no longer shout······ He curled up on his back, covered his chest with his hands and coughed vigorously, his legs staggered, he fell to his knees in the rain, and plunged headlong into the mud, looking into the distance with a dull gaze as if his body had been drained of his soul.

This sudden rainstorm······ Wash away all the traces left behind by those sub-species chariots. Looking at the hazy figure that fell in the rain, Zhou He suddenly understood this rugged man, the relentless rainstorm washed away the only trace that could find his home, and completely cut off the only clue, what kind of despair should it be?

Maybe it's already collapsed······ He thought, and his nose didn't feel a little sour.

But it wasn't as Zhou He thought, just for a while, he felt that his body seemed to have regained consciousness, Ah Yi raised his head, supported his body, covered his chest with one hand, soothed the painful twitching heart, and gasped violently, after a while, he got up and wiped a handful of muddy water on his face, and his bloodshot eyes finally regained some vitality, bent over and picked up the gun, turned his head to the crowd and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Keep going!" ”

Everyone could only see the shape of his mouth, and they couldn't hear his words clearly, but they understood what he meant.

"I'm sure I'll find it."

Ah Yi told himself seriously, took a deep breath, grabbed the handle of the gun hard, stepped on the mud, dripping with floodwater, and probed forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Half a month has passed, and the jerky they carried has long been consumed, but they are still scurrying around like headless flies, and this is not the case, but Ah Yi stubbornly led everyone in one direction, and no one can say how much deviation there was during the period, perhaps, it is getting farther and farther away from the original goal.

Zhou He touched his chin, he had already grown a beard, and his skin couldn't see the original color, and it was a layer of dirt when he rubbed it slightly. The people on his left and right were lying on the ground, some of them snoring from their sleepy nasal cavities.

Ah Yi chewed on the grass roots in his mouth, squatted on a mossy stone, his bloodshot eyes were deep-set, and he looked haggard as if he had changed into a different person.

"It's time to get some food."

He muttered, got up and clapped his hands, "Let's go find something to eat." ”

The awake people woke up the sleeping ones one by one, and the people who woke up from their sleep rubbed their stiff faces vigorously and looked at Ah Yi with a yawn.

The place was supposed to be a city, and the original outline could still be faintly discerned, but it had long since become a ruin, covered in greenery.

Zhou He rubbed his stiff face and let out a mouthful of white mist, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, if it goes on like this, he will either starve to death or freeze to death, even if it is a steel body, he can't stand such a torment, and he doesn't know when it will be a head. There has been no news about the system called Star Core for half a month, and he is a little skeptical that it is just his own auditory hallucination.

The direction they were now going was outside the city, the water along the river was frozen, and the wreckage of cars on the bridge deck was already rotten to the ground, and the slightest touch of the hand would cause rust and dust to fall on the ground.

"Wait!"

After walking over the bridge deck that was almost collapsing and climbing up the steep slope, Ah Jiu in front made a gesture: "There is movement." ”

Ah Yi picked up the telescope hanging on his chest, stepped up the steep slope in three or two steps, and looked at a relatively wide path diagonally below.

"That's it!"

Ah Yi took a deep breath, barely restrained the excitement in his heart, and beckoned to everyone behind: "Quick!" Come up! ”

It shouldn't be food······

What can make Ah Yi excited?

Zhou He raised his eyebrows, took three steps and made two steps, jumped up the slope, and then lay down: "Lend me a look." ”

He stretched out his hand to Ah Yi, and in the past half a month, the relationship between them has eased a lot, and they are not as wary of each other as before, and even hostile.

Ah glanced at him and handed over the binoculars in his hand.

Zhou He took the telescope and observed through the telescope that there was indeed a team marching in the distance:

The one in front should be the chariot of the subspecies that Ah Yi said in his mouth, it is black and gray throughout, the size is huge, it should be said to be a mobile war fort, preliminary estimates, the height should be six or seven meters, the surface is inlaid with external sharp cones, there are five triangular track wheels with a height of about one meter on the horizontal plane, the roof should be a rotating turret, there are three cannon barrels, because the distance is too far, Zhou He does not see very clearly, the one in the middle should be a large transport vehicle, and the back is also a chariot, The convoy's cars are a group of robots with robots······

It should be robots, they stand on the ground like octopuses, with eight mechanical legs, moving in an orderly manner back and forth, very fast, and there is no bumpy feeling on the ground with gravel potholes everywhere. They are endowed with extraordinary balance.

"Keep up!"

Ah Yi clenched his fists and swung them hard in the air, his emaciated cheeks stained with a flush of excitement.
