A large space, inside a building, where the lights had been turned on two minutes earlier in the pitch darkness.

The metal floor, which covers an area of more than 20,000 square meters and has no pillars, is empty except for the white light cast from above, but there is another mystery on the wall.

The four walls are covered with warheads-like objects with a diameter of one meter, which are noticeably different from the metallic color of the entire space, and these huge "warheads" look more like white plastic eggshells.

"The offline program is in progress, and the nursing class is in place." An indifferent mechanical voice rang out through the vast space, strangely not resonating in the quiet and empty area.

"Bang-" There was a sound, and a warhead somewhere on the wall was taken out by a mechanical arm, making a cupping sound. It turned out that the white egg-like thing was more than two meters long, and only half of the egg was exposed on the wall.

Strips of white eggs, well, let's call it for now. It was removed and placed upright in a newly raised groove on the ground. There was a small gurgling sound from the eggs.

On the other wall, a gap opened in a place where there were no eggs, and five or six egg-shaped robots ranging in height from 1.2 to 1.5 meters ran out of the gap.

Unlike eggs taken from the wall, these egg-like robots are floated, and although they also look like eggs, they use cartoon-like color blocks to distinguish eyes, heads, and bodies, and two of them also have organs such as hands. Their actions always follow a specific band of colored light on the metal floor, and they have a distinctive feature, they all have green cross-shaped lights on their chests, similar to the special reception in a service center in a data world.

When the robot surrounded the egg taken from the wall, the larger egg also cracked open, and the front side opened like a door.

Inside, a man came out, a bald man, a slightly pale and thin man with a body obviously lacking nutrients.

He, a member of the 20 billion group, is numbered CH073-02965111151163, like everyone else in the 20 billion, he originally did not have his own name, and he was using the body named Pan Wen in the virtual world!

However, because of the awakening, after leaving the egg room, he now has his own name, Lieyang, which is not very good, at least not a name assigned by the computer.

At this time, he was vomiting on his knees, but unfortunately, he could not vomit anything except a little light blue translucent viscous liquid, which still had some residue on his body.

An egg robot dragged a plate and was about to send a towel to wipe him, and he pushed him away, as you know, floating objects are not easy to brake.

"Get the knife first." After a while, the man, who had begun to adjust to the outside world, struggled to stand up and made a strange request to one of the eggs. This egg is the smallest of all the eggs.

Standing upright, he was a little taller than Pan Wen in the data world, but unfortunately his lack of nutrition made him look half a size smaller. There is no sun-shaped scar on the center of the eyebrows, in fact, the two are still somewhat similar in appearance or temperament, they are both gloomy faces.

The egg robot that was asked for a strange request had a small drawer popping out of its belly, which contained several scalpels and surgical equipment such as tweezers and scissors.

"For the sake of your health, please don't make strange moves."

Spoken! The eggs make a sound!

The man crooked his face and gave the egg a mocking smile, took out a knife, and slashed himself in the arm!

Seeing the white flesh on his hands gradually turning red and bleeding profusely, the man muttered to the egg robot, "I have to make sure you didn't turn me into a pile of metal!" ”

"Lieyang, I have been guarding humans for hundreds of years, and the number of humans has never decreased, your suspicions are groundless!"

An emotional female voice sounded in the empty space, and the tone was more human-like than the man who had harmed himself, at least.

The man, as if everyone in the world owed him money, did not respond to the woman's voice, but simply stretched his crippled arm to the side, and immediately an egg came up to stop him from bleeding and bandaged. Actually, he wants to refute the female voice in his heart, but without "that" mechanism, there would be no such thing, so be it.

At this moment, a holographic projection of a woman appeared in front of him.

"Lieyang, I must remind you once again that there is no factory in this world dedicated to the production of bandages, and this is the third time that I have vacated a production line specifically for you. Your actions are causing harm to hundreds of people of your kind. ”

"You expand the range, they can't even die a cell." Men don't seem to be happy about hurting their own kind and give their opinions.

The woman didn't seem to have any hope of convincing this guy and simply went straight to the next link: "So Mr. Lieyang, what do you want to do next?" ”

"Didn't you come out of me?" Only then did he raise his head to look at the female projection, not taking his naked body in front of the female projection seriously at all.

Compared to the second world, the snow is less colorful and slightly brighter here, and it is easy to see that the projection technology is not on the same level.

The projection of the snow was silent for more than ten seconds, and then replied, "The goods you ordered before your reincarnation just passed through the classification of the space station ten minutes ago. ”

The man closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking, "The test hasn't started yet, so you're not going to agree to let me go up and use it, will you?" ”

He didn't use a questioning tone when he asked, and sure enough, the female projection's answer proved his idea.

"Yes, after the next assembly, it will complete the test of power, safety, and reliability in orbit, and it will not let humans risk it until the test is completed."

"Hey......" he sighed softly in pity and nodded in understanding, "That means there's nothing to do yet...... Then go see the 'Warriors'. ”

Since the funds before and after the reincarnation have nothing to do with each other, Lieyang spent all the money before changing his identity, and his NPC identity can't stay outside for a long time to enjoy the service, so he buys some strange things, including a customized small space carrier.

Hearing this, the woman who appeared in a holographic projection frowned: "You are the weirdest person in the whole world. With that, the whole projection disappeared.

Looking at the place where the snow disappeared, the scorching sun, or Pan Wen, was in a trance: she was becoming more and more human, especially outside of the second world, here, Earth, her area of custody.

After saying a few words, the wound suturing and bandaging of the eggs were also completed, and the efficiency was not bad.

He was about to walk when he suddenly remembered that he was not dressed yet, and when he stretched out his hand, he didn't look at the eggs: "Clothes." ”

The clothes were nothing more than simple bathrobes, the shoes were legendary paper slippers, and a pair of large trousers, and it took only a split second to equip them.

Dressed up, he stepped out of the huge egg storage compartment through the gap where the robot appeared. It is said to be a gap, but in fact, it is because the internal space is too large, and it is a passage with a width of more than two meters.

Moving along the passage from inside the building to outside the building, there is an aerial platform more than 100 meters above the ground, and a gray car-like object without wheels has been parked on the platform, except for the rusty surface, which is also very similar to the unmanned taxi of Segeis.

He stood in front of the car and waited for two seconds, and after a gap appeared in the door, he skillfully pulled open and entered the car, and in the other seat, there was a holographic projection of the woman just now.

"You seem to be idle." He didn't look at her, but he wasn't supposed to be talking to anything else.

"Because you're special, I can't find a second 'person' like you." As he spoke, the car started, and the wheelless thing was used to fly!

Lieyang shook his head, and finally brought some emotion in his words, which was the so-called loss: "They just don't have a chance." ”

"No, they have a chance, but no one will come back a third time."

The gray sky, the metallic gray city, the gray water, everything here is so unbearable compared to that world.

"Oh, yes." Leaning against the car window and looking at the city below, he actually made a joke, "The city design is so bad, who wants to look at it a second time." ”

Below the car, there are exactly the same egg warehouses, each of which is boxy and about 200 meters high, which looks very neat and spectacular when the floating car exceeds the top floor. But for a human being, it is never a good experience to understand that 20 billion human beings are all in this kind of thing. Of all the buildings, there is only one that is slightly special, the top floor of the building in the middle of the city, there is a giant electronic screen on all four sides, and the woman on the screen is sitting next to him in the form of a holographic projection, she is the earth regulator, Xue.

"I can make the city more chaotic, but that doesn't meet the environmental governance provisions."

“…… Ay. ”

At the mention of this clause, he sighed again, and it was not the first time that he had been outside for less than ten minutes.

If it weren't for the environment, how could it be possible to entrust all people's lives to machines!?

Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about casually, the woman in front of her still has a few of her kind looking at each other in the second world, but outside the second world, even if there are hundreds of thousands of earthlings, there will be no news to leave this gray planet.

Hearing him sigh, the woman's projection turned her face in a very natural movement and smiled: "By the way, I haven't thanked you yet." ”

"Huh!?" He was stunned, because the memories inside and outside were a little confused, and he couldn't think of anything for a while that could make her say thank you.

Xue's smile widened slightly, and she reminded, "It's an energy thing." ”

She on the outside and the cold snow in the second world seem to be two completely different beings.

"Oh!" It dawned on him, "Oh, yes, I'm also for my compatriots." ”
