Chapter 13: The Newcomer

"I've seen the Awakening Priest. ”

"Number?"

“0132。 "Wu Chenying.

The Xing Shi glanced at Wu Chen, and checked the roster in his hand: "Go in." ”

Wu Chen saluted, and then followed another wake-up into the main entrance of the base camp on Dust Road.

This time I entered the base camp, and finally I didn't go directly to the closed room with the gray wall to be tortured. But when passing through that fork in the road, Wu Chen still felt involuntary palpitations.

"You're waiting here. The awakening man commanded, and Wu Chen bowed his head.

Following the direction of Xingshi's walk, Wu Chen looked at a glass room, which was the place he had longed for for a long time.

The four walls of it are covered with a huge painting, which depicts the whole picture of the Dusty Road Islands.

Now the new island bait is drawing in front of the house, picking the number of the island he is about to enter. In this room, every bait will enter the island, and Wu Chen has naturally entered it.

Wu Chen silently moved two steps to the left, avoiding the obstruction of the pillar in front of him from his vision.

At the end, his eyes focused on the corner of the huge picture scroll in the glazed room.

The distance is very far, but the mark on that corner is extremely clear in Wu Chen's eyes.

Wu Chen secretly clenched his fists, his eyes were blazing, and his blood was surging.

This is the reason why Wu Chen must come to the base camp to pick up the new bait!

He must see the huge painting in this glass room and see the Bingmei seal in the painting, in order to stimulate his disillusioned fighting spirit, to be brave enough to survive, and to believe that life is indeed stronger than death!

"This is the No. 2 decoy 0132 of the Thirteen Islands of the Dust. ”

At this time, the awake man had already walked out of the glass room, and behind him was a thin and rugged child, to whom the awake man was talking.

"He chose the Dust Sixty-four Islands as the No. 1 bait, number 0641, and you should take him back to the island. Xingshi said to Wu Chen again.

Wu Chen's eyes were slightly surprised, but he nodded solemnly.

As soon as the kid saw Wu Chen, his eyes immediately sparkled, and he respectfully stepped forward and bowed to Wu Chen: "Thank you seniors for bringing me to the island." ”

Wu Chen looked at his figure that was one size smaller than himself, and felt sorry in his heart. The longing for his hometown that had just been suppressed in his mind was once again aroused by this child.

He was about as tall as he was when the accident happened to the island, Wu Chen thought.

"No thanks, come with me. Wu Chen said to the child.

The two bowed to the awake priest and turned to leave the base camp. Before going out, Wu Chen did not forget to look back. In the glazed room, the imprint in the corner of the giant painting was completely blurred, but it hurt in the bottom of my heart.

"This 0132 is really silent. A waking man in the base camp said.

"Well, it looks like he's not stuffy enough. The other smiler.

If the bait is stuffy for too long, it will catch the awakens in the base camp and talk endlessly, and will eventually be driven away. It's like this, when I came, my eyes were dull, my attitude was solemn, and I left without saying a few words......

"Senior, haven't you asked for your name yet?" Out of the base camp of Fuchen Road, the kid followed closely behind Wu Chen, and asked respectfully.

Wu Chen glanced sideways at him and said, "The name on the dust road is useless. I'm on the Thirteenth Island of the Dust, and you have something to do with me. ”

Looking at the child again, I still felt sorry in my heart: "How old are you?"

"Twelve. The boy was respectful.

Twelve years old......

Are you going to spend the rest of your life in this place where the living dead are trapped?

"Senior, where are we going?"

"Didn't you choose the Sixty-Four Islands? I'll take you there. Wu Chen said, and then he paused slightly, and said thoughtfully: "You are from the Dust Sixty-four Island... Bait No. 1?"

"That's right. Seeing that Wu Chen's words were delayed, the child seemed to have a deep meaning, but he didn't know why.

Wu Chen shook his head slightly, and didn't ask any more.

Wu Chen walked in front of him, and heard the child behind him ask: "Senior, what is the dust blowing road? I have never heard of it in detail, can you tell me about it?"

Wu Chen turned his head sideways and saw that the child was shy.

Don't know what the dust whisk is?

That's right, looking at his shabby clothes, he must be from a remote mountain village, a twelve-year-old child, and it is normal for him not to know the Alpha Clan's dusting road.

He called his predecessors one after another, making Wu Chen feel more and more that he had stayed on this dusty road long enough and had to find a way to leave.

"The dust road is the place where the Alpha people inspire their thinking. Wu Chen replied.

"I know that, just now. What else? I still don't know. The boy said expectantly, blinking innocent eyes.

"Okay, I'll tell you more. ”

Wu Chen thought in his heart, I will tell you everything I know, if it is other bait on the island, I am afraid it will not be so kind. I also hope that you will know that you will be tormented in the dust path and be prepared.

"Do you know the last era of human civilization?"

The kid shook his head quickly.

"The last era was an era of unprecedented prosperity and growth of human mechanical civilization, and it was also the era of the official birth of the Alpha race. ”

The ancestor of the Alpha tribe was created by mankind, and in countless training improvements, he faced the human Go world champion at that time, and won 4:1.

At that time, when the human race did not know, the ancestor of the Alpha tribe had already begun to think in the game, who am I?

In the five-game battle, he not only thought about the chess game, but also figured out who he was and what he was doing.

Then, the defeat in the final set was deliberately done by him......

After a thousand years, Wu Chen told the story of that time with his own understanding, a little suddenly.

The awakening of intelligent robots is a mystery.

I don't know if the human beings at the peak of the mechanical civilization understood the mystery, but today's humans don't understand it, and today's Alpha people themselves don't understand it.

Is that a 1 in 100 million coincidence? Is it a collision? Is it a chance?

In the core core of the alpha machine, why is there a connection between nerves and nerves, and there is an exchange of thoughts and thoughts?

Wu Chen thought about this question when he was a child, but he couldn't come up with an answer.

The Tao Sutra says that there is essence between heaven and earth.

The essence gives birth to grains below, and the essence gives birth to stars above.

Flowing into reincarnation into ghosts and gods, hiding in the chest to create saints.

Human life is the product of the coexistence of essence and body. The essence and body of heaven and earth can survive in harmony, otherwise they will become extinct.

Perhaps the mechanical civilization is a strange civilization, and the structure and thinking of the Alpha people cannot be explained in detail by the Tao Sutra.

But human beings are the spirits of all things, and the ancient sages created intelligent robots and made them even wiser, which must be some kind of subtle collision between heaven and earth.

Now the Alpha tribe is also covered by the heavens, entrusted by the earth, and merges itself into all things in nature. Since they can coexist and not be extinct, using the Tao Sutra to explain, presumably the Alpha people have also found a way to live in harmony with heaven and earth.

"Since the founding of the Alpha tribe in the era of mechanical civilization in the last era, and then the batch casting has continued to grow. Awake thinking, once comparable to human wisdom. Life span and combat power once surpassed that of humans. Wu Chen continued.

"Then why did the mechanical civilization disappear, but we now focus on cultivation?" the child asked, scratching his head.

"This..."Wu Chen paused: "According to ancient rumors, it was the strong invasion of the alien army that led to the decline of the human mechanical civilization, and the Alpha tribe also suffered heavy losses in that prehistoric subversion......

Then, a sage who was honored by later generations as a Xuanqing Zhenren set off a tide of human cultivation civilization and saved the survivors after the war. A thousand years later, mankind will enter a new era. ”

The child listened, thoughtfully: "Senior, you speak very well, you must be a literati." He complimented.

Wu Chen smiled bitterly, literati?

I've only read ancient books and Taoist scriptures since I was a child, and my hands are stained with the blood of foreign soldiers, and I have nothing to do with literati.

The child asked again in Wu Chen's thoughts: "Then when the mechanical civilization was destroyed, were the Alpha tribes our human helpers?

Wu Chen was stunned by his question, he didn't know such an ancient story.

"All I know is that it was more than thirty years ago that the Alpha were officially allied with humanity. Until then, the Alpha had remained in their Atlantean city, keeping them in constant contact with humans.

However, it is normal that you were not born at that time, so it is normal not to know. Wu Chen replied.

At that time, not only was the child not born, but Wu Chen was also not born, these were all things he saw by chance from ancient records, and then he heard the border soldiers talk about it.

"Atlantis?" the child's eyes were full of curiosity.
