With a sunny day, a gentle sea breeze and a pleasant view, this is Haisha Town, a zombie-free seaside town. By the sea, on the edge of the town, on a wooden trestle bridge, at the end of it, a girl in a long white dress, with long flowing hair, facing the sea, holding on to the railing, from the back, she must be a very beautiful girl.

A boy in a black suit with a white shirt and a bow tie. Holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, there are lavender, rosemary, cinnamon, etc.

The boy came up to the girl's back and said, "Hi, Shangguan." ”

Shangguan Nana turned around and faced the boy in front of her with a smile, "You're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

The boy was Dongfang A6, Dongfang stepped forward and handed her the flower, and said, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, and the data fusion has been delayed for a long time." ”

Shangguan smelled the flowers in his hand and said, "It's so fragrant." After putting away the flowers, he asked, "So, have you received the saints?" ”

Dongfang sighed, stood side by side with Shangguan in front of the railing of the trestle, looked at the direction of the sea by the railing, and said: "I have now merged with the saints, I don't know why the saints chose me, how to go in the future, I really don't have any bottom." ”

Shangguan said: "There are only five of us to choose from, and in the mission test, it is obvious that you are the best of the five of us, so it chose you." ”

"That's because you chose me as the captain, and the five of us are actually very good, and whoever is the captain will have better cash."

"That's right, we are all very good, no matter who we are the captain, we may be able to complete the task perfectly, but," Shangguan smiled, "none of us can see through the heavenly machine, it was you who first discovered the mosaic, it was you who discovered that there were many bugs in the copy, it was your wisdom and wisdom, and the spirit of not giving up, that made the saints hole." ”

"Anyway," Dongfang spread his hands, "I have now taken over the system of the saints, what to do in the future, I really don't know what to do, but one day, I am very relieved, because I have four of you friends, and I am thinking, I want to wake you all four up as soon as possible."

"You know what? The Saints have a probe station on the cosmic ecliptic plane between the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, and it has discovered a major enemy. ”

"Major enemy situation?" Shangguan asked suspiciously.

"Yes, a major enemy," said Dongfang in a deep voice, "about 4 light-years from our solar system, there is an unknown signal that is coming in the direction of the Earth at a speed of 0.1 times the speed of light......

"0.1 times the speed of light? So fast? Shangguan asked in surprise, "So it will reach the solar system in more than 40 years?" ”

"Yes, considering various complex factors, this time may be 50 years, maybe a little longer, according to the analysis of the system, this unknown signal is very likely to be an interstellar fleet."

"Starfleet? Oh my! So what do we do? ”

"The current state of the Earth is this: it's 2109, and for a decade after the end of World War III, it's been a barren planet, with about 600,000 survivors living in underground bunkers around the globe, and probably more," Dongfang said. The earth's atmosphere is very polluted by nuclear weapons, and the current ground is not suitable for human life, so they have been hiding underground and cannot come out.

"The second situation is our saints, an open-air machine, in fact, a starship, called the Doomsday Mineship, when on land, it is a huge armored combat vehicle......

Dongfang said, and a virtual image appeared in the air in front of the two, showing the giant "excavator". Dongfang said: "It's this big guy, we are all in this now, including the virtual zombie town copy yesterday is made in it." ”

Seeing Shangguan nodding his head, knowing that she could understand everything he said, Dongfang continued: "We have a Doomsday Mineboat, and I named it 'Excavator'. Now, the excavator has a three-level machine heart. As you know, the saint is just a computer, although he has a very advanced artificial ability, but after all, it is a computer without a soul, so he chose to merge with me. The Heart of the Machine is a god-level civilization creation, you can use it to develop your own strength, but you can't upgrade, I have the idea of cracking its upgrade system, but this will be slowly realized in the future.

"Now, the excavator has the heart of the machine, and the five of us, what we have to do is to find as many survivors of the earth as possible before the fifty-year deadline comes, and expand the scale of our saints, and realize the rise of the saints! After that—

"We will have two choices: one, hold on to the earth and defend against the invasion from the universe, and two, leave the earth. But whether we choose to stick to it or leave, we only have 50 years, which seems to be a long time, but on the scale of the universe, it is fleeting. ”

"That sixth brother, the burden on your shoulders is very heavy," Shangguan said and began to smell the flowers in his hand again,

"Isn't it, Shangguan, originally, you live very well and comfortably in the system, I really can't bear to wake you up, but ......"

"I understand the sixth brother, but it's a dream after all, and it's a broken dream. I'd rather live in a harsh reality than a false dream. ”

"But, have you ever thought about how to face the real world you woke up from? Without a human body, you are just a machine, and although you still retain the human mind, you are no longer strictly human from a biological point of view. Dongfang said this cruel reality, "Just like the two of us ......"

"The two of us?"

"I mean, for example," Dongfang couldn't help but become restrained at this point, "I'm a boy, and you're a girl, but what basis do you have to tell our gender?" ”

"I don't," Shangguan quickly replied, "without a body, we have almost no gender. ”

"But before the age of eight," said Dongfang again, "we were all still human, and at that time, we all had whole, even perfect, human bodies, and at that time, you were a real girl, and I was a real boy, and so were the three of them. But when the nuclear war broke out, all five of us lost our bodies, only our brains were preserved, and we lived in the saint's system for ten years, living a virtual life for ten years. In our subconscious, even though we don't have a body, we think of ourselves as boys or girls. ”

Shangguan bit his lip, was silent, and finally said: "Sixth brother, I have thought about it, wake me up, no matter what the reality is, I ......"

"Huh?"

Shangguan suddenly hugged Dongfang and sobbed softly: "Sixth brother, I want to wake up." ”
