Chapter 124: The Human Wolf and the Mechanic: Xiaodi
Late at night.
On the east side of the city railway station, at the entrance of the lotus pond home community.
The robot is carrying a huge fertilizer bag and two heavy gas cylinders towards the entrance of the community.
Every time it moves forward, it looks for a place to hide.
Maybe it's a garbage can, maybe it's a tree, maybe it's an abandoned car.
But the funny thing is that when it hides behind the bunker and carefully listens to the wind and grass, the fertilizer bag behind it has already betrayed its lurk.
However, as if the robot was not aware of it, it still maintained this marching position.
Because its creator Xiaodi told it many times as early as the first day of its birth: be careful to go out, go home safely, Xiaodi is waiting for you to go home.
Mechanic En hid behind the car, looked around with a probe, and after making sure that there was no danger, he picked up the gas cylinder and continued to walk towards the community.
And at this moment, the roar of the corpse beast and the cold snort of the human were heard in the distance.
The robot quickly lowered the gas cylinder and lay on the ground to sense something.
"Humans detected." A mechanical voice sounded, and its LED eyes flashed green: "Protocol five, grandma said that good children should be helpful so that they will have friends." ”
The robot quickly got up and dropped the fertilizer bag full of supplies on the ground, and the mechanical arm had already removed the black metal rod from its shoulder.
The robot's legs moved rapidly, and in a burst of hydraulic sounds, the robot had already run towards the place where the sound came from.
The moonlight shone on the running silver robot, and the scratches on its metal exterior were still vivid.
It didn't take long for the robot to arrive at the sound scene.
It was a robot that resembled it.
The whole body is encased in a silver can-like metal, the only difference is that there is no thruster behind the can, but it does.
The corpses of two swift corpse beasts and a sound-patrolling bat also lay on the ground.
There was also a sound-patrolling bat hovering in mid-air.
The man-wolf pulled out the thorn from the corpse beast, and at the same time stomped on the patrol bat whose wings were torn in two, and shot it in the head.
"Monster detected." The cyborg looked up at the Patrol Bat that was hovering looking for an opportunity, and the light in his eyes turned red in an instant: "Protocol Four, let the monster sleep." ”
In the next second, in the unbelievable eyes of the human wolf, the thruster behind the robot opened, and this short figure actually flew towards the Patrol Bat!
The Soundpatrol Bat is a swarm-attacking demon species, and it is gathering more companions here when its companions have died.
But the dash of the short figure made it feel dangerous, and this danger made it instinctively turn around and want to escape.
At this moment, the metal rod in the robot's hand popped out the ion hot blade, and the energy fluctuations that it was struggling to find made the sound bat stunned for a moment, and it subconsciously opened its mouthparts to send out sound waves to call its companions, and then felt its vision fall, and its head was in a different place.
Boom!
The robot falls smoothly to the ground and bends its knees to unload the force.
Boom!
The sound of the bat is in a different place, and only the sound waves before death are still rippling into the distance.
"Mechanic?!"
The overjoyed man-wolf quickly ran up to the robot, and a dull voice came from under the full-coverage helmet: "You're a mechanic?!" ”
"Hum" the cyborg snapped the metal rod back into his shoulder: "I'm a miniature mecha, Xiao Di One." ”
"The danger has been lifted, I wish you peace." After the robot finished speaking, he ran towards the entrance of the community again.
But this time, it was significantly slower due to its excessive energy consumption.
Joy flashed in the eyes of the human wolf, according to the commander's prediction, this miniature drone armor was the handiwork of the mechanic!
According to the Commander's predictions of information about the mechanic's profession, the human wolf knows that drone mechs have only simple intelligence and will only act according to the mechanic's pre-input procedures.
The man-wolf strode after the robot, smiling as he looked at the inverted triangle thruster behind the robot.
Behind the full-coverage armor of each of their beastly soldiers, there is such a groove reserved for the future installation of thrusters.
And the role of the thruster, just now, the human wolf has seen it with his own eyes.
"Thank you, Commander, for your efforts!"
"There is hope for humanity!"
Joy wells up in the hearts of human wolves, who are often confused and tyrannical due to genetic modification.
It was the first time he had felt joy since he had been genetically modified.
The human wolf quickly followed the robot, and one person and one machine advanced in the community.
On the way, the robot still crouches down to hide itself every time he passes by an obstacle.
It looked at the canned man suspiciously, wondering why he still had to follow him when the danger was gone.
Afraid of danger?
Maybe that's what the Creator said: I am for all and all are for I?
Lotus Pond Home Community.
Inside a four-story house in Building 25.
A candlelit bedroom corner.
A boy with large-rimmed glasses, clasped on his knees, squatting in a corner.
His full name is Xiaodi, but maybe it's because of regional factors, people around him call him Xiaodi, and he also likes the title Xiaodi very much, because it is more intimate than the full name.
Whenever there was a sound from the outside world, Xiao Di would tremble and turn his head to look at the sealed window, as if there were devouring ghosts there.
Next to his feet was a mesmerized tablet.
It was originally a tablet computer for young children to learn, but at the moment there is no knowledge such as various pinyin characters.
Instead, there is a constant flickering of obscure symbols and data.
These are the real-time status data of Xiaodi 1.
It includes various data indicators such as maneuverability, body damage parts, modification progress, weapon energy consumption, thruster energy consumption, etc.
Xiaodi, whose parents died when he was a child, was raised by his grandmother.
At the time of the catastrophe, my grandmother went out to buy groceries.
The frail and sickly Xiao Di happened to take leave to recuperate at home, so he escaped the invasion of corpse beasts during the catastrophe.
Perhaps it was fate that due to its location at the city railway station, a large number of corpse beasts converged on the side where the screams continued one after another.
In addition, it is school time, and the adults in the community are also going to work after dropping off the children.
Under various factors, Xiao Di, who did not have a corpse beast, was not harmed.
It's just that his grandmother never came back.
Since he was a child, he and his grandmother have depended on each other, and even need his grandmother to be by his side every night to sleep peacefully.
But when he heard the screams in the community gradually stop, the timid Xiaodi still had the courage to run out of the house to find his grandmother.
Although the poor child did not find all his sustenance, he touched a golden ball of light.
Inside the sphere of light is a class legacy: the Mechanic.
And it's still a legendary level where you can choose one of two skills every ten levels.
With this, Xiaodi created a robot that protected him many times: Xiaodi One.
But maybe it's a young relationship, or maybe it's a timid relationship.
Xiaodi never dared to step out of the house, but relied on Xiaodi No. 1 to go out to find supplies to survive.
This kind of life has been going on for more than ten days.
Without his grandmother's care, he often woke up in the middle of the night when he couldn't sleep peacefully, and the children with weak nerves had serious black double circles.
Even the originally cute little mushroom head has been transformed into a messy chicken nest.
"Xiaodi, come back soon."
Xiao Di's nose twitched, his little face was aggrieved, and his extremely low voice seemed to comfort himself not to be afraid.
The immature little hands that have been scarred by the transformation of the mecha are not white, but they are seriously oiled, and even some of the wounds have begun to become inflamed.
But the child who is not vigilant does not know: in this world, the end of inflammation is to wait for death.
"Didi, the battery is low, please charge it in time!"
The Haoji Star tablet next to him made a sound.
Xiao Di picked up the tablet that displayed the real-time data of Xiao Di No. 1 and took out a large rechargeable battery from his pocket, which was one of the materials that Xiao Di No. 1 obtained when he went out.
He stretched his legs straight on the ground and turned the microcomputer upside down and placed it on his lap.
There is no back cover on the back of this computer, just a mess of threads.
Even, there is a processor engraved with the word A25, I don't know where this thing came from, Xiao Di relied on the professional inheritance information to connect this thing!
And it worked!
Xiao Di held the battery in his left hand and hovered above the power supply of the microcomputer, and the five fingers of his right hand were spread out, and he did not see any special gestures.
A touch of blue electric light bloomed in his palm!
Xiao Di stared seriously at his natural skill: mechanical power.
As the mental value on the panel slowly decreased, the blue electric light slowly extended to the battery, and after a few seconds, the blue light left the battery and drilled towards the energy source of the microcomputer.
"Didi, charging." The microcomputer makes a sound.
A few seconds later, the microcomputer made another noise: "Drop, charging is complete." ”
Xiao Di breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard the prompt sound, although it was not the first time to manipulate such a magical electric light, but every time he had mechanical strength, Xiao Di felt that it was very magical.
This electric light, called mechanical power, can not only transfer energy.
The fuel in the gas cylinder can also be purified and compressed, and then transferred to the thruster on the back of the Xiaodi 1 for use.
Although due to the inferior fuel in the gas cylinder, even after purification, it can only be used reluctantly, and its quality and battery life are very low.
But the thruster is always barely usable, if a better source of energy is found later, maybe.
In addition, the mechanical force can also do a series of magical operations such as extraction of metal impurities, welding, purification, compression, etc.
The assembly of Xiaodi's Xiaodi No. 1 is inseparable from this magical talent skill.
After charging, Xiaodi carefully put the battery into his pocket, and the little hand that was cut by the metal carefully patted it on the pocket a few times.
Xiao Di flipped the computer and checked the data of Xiao Di No. 1 again.
Since Xiaodi No. 1 went out to look for supplies, its data has changed twice.
One is at the beginning, and the other is just now.
Among them, the data just now fluctuated the most obviously.
"Did you run into a monster?"
Xiao Di helped the sliding glasses and looked at them seriously.
The reflection of the microcomputer was reflected on his immature face, and the eyes covered with heavy dark circles behind his glasses suddenly changed from tired and scared to extremely serious.
"Twenty-three percent of the ion hot blade is left, and only seven percent of the thruster is left."
"It should be quite high in the air, otherwise the thrusters wouldn't have dropped so badly."
"I hope Xiaodi No. 1 can bring back the gas cylinder, otherwise the propeller energy will not be replenished."
Xiao Di pursed his lips, looking forward to the return of Xiao Di No. 1.
The residents of the community are all natural gas, and the young children do not know how to find the pipes and get natural gas out of the pipes.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Tuk-tuk.
Sincere.
Tuk-tuk.
A rhythmic knock sounded softly.
Hearing the sound, Xiaodi heard that this was the code between him and Xiaodi No. 1, and the child got up from the corner as if he saw his family, and happily ran towards the security door.
He didn't have any, defensive sense to look through the cat's eye, nor did he just open a gap to see.
Xiao Di, who was full of joy, opened his door so widely.
"Little Di! I'm back safely! ”
Xiao Di No. 1, carrying two cans of gas, appeared behind the door, hugged his creator in a hug, and then quickly said: "Xiao Di, we have guests at home!" ”
Xiao Di, who heard the sound, was obviously a little scared, and his neck couldn't help but shrink.
But when he saw Xiao Di No. 1, the sense of security in his heart strengthened a lot.
Xiao Di had the courage to look at the human wolf behind Xiao Di No. 1.
The appearance of the man-wolf canned armor splattered the blood of some corpse beasts and sound-patrolling bats, and he was in a hurry to wipe the blood.
The human wolf didn't expect that the mechanic was actually a child who was only about eight years old!
At this moment, the human wolf is no longer the previous ruthless appearance of trampling the bat to break the head.
Instead, he looked like a boy who had seen his first girlfriend, and quickly cleaned up his blood-stained armor without saying a word.
"You" Xiao Di hid behind Xiao Di No. 1, and timidly poked his head out to look at the man who was cleaning up the unknown minced meat on the soles of his shoes and said, "Hello. Uncle Canner! ”
The action of the human wolf golden rooster wiping the soles of his shoes independently, covering the helmet all over the eyes, and the eyes behind the goggles showed a smile.
"It's okay, please come in, Uncle Canner."
Xiao Di showed what he thought was the best smile and said timidly.
Since the cataclysm, he has not seen a living person for a long time because of the proximity to the city train station.
The young children did not have any wariness of the way of the world.
The human wolf who walked into the house clearly understood this.
The man with a certain amount of dark vision looked around at the small home, which was not big, but very warm.
The walls are plastered with certificates signed by Xiaodi, as well as various big red flowers.
Well, children with excellent character and learning.
There is also a photo of the child and the grandmother on the table in the living room, the child is smiling happily and lively, and the grandmother who looks at the child is also smiling kindly.
Well, there should be an accident in the parents, it should be dependent on the grandmother, not seeing the elderly, it was work time during the catastrophe, maybe the adults were outside, and they were not seen at the moment, and it was estimated that the possibility of death was greater.
The human wolf continued to scan the living room, and in one corner there were several disassembled mobile phones, all of which were of various brands and models.
There are even a couple of laptops.
Why so many notebook electronic devices?
The human wolf had doubts in his heart, but he continued to check.
In a corner, a bunch of them are placed.
Scrap copper and rotten iron?
The human wolf was not sure, and in Xiao Di's surprised gaze, he strode towards the corner.
After a closer look, it was found that it was indeed a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, some steel, pans, various TVs that were disassembled, miscellaneous wiring with all kinds of colors, electronic boards, and some of them.
Dumbbell?
Strange, how these things fit together.
The man-wolf crouched down and reached out to crush some of the remaining debris on the ground.
It's metal!
The man-wolf's pupils shrank, as if he had thought of something.
He turned his head and looked at Xiao Di suddenly.
The latter was now unsuspecting himself doing various checks on the robot.
Look at its serious inspection appearance, and from time to time look at the microcomputer in his hand to think.
The man-wolf seems to have an answer.
He has been thinking about it since he came, and the appearance of the robot is made up of various metal splices.
But in the house, he did not see any tools such as cutting electric welding.
It seems that the mechanic has some means of purifying these metals, even welding, and the setting of intelligent programs!
The man-wolf walked towards Xiao Di, who had already guessed about the same, and his eyes were locked on the microcomputer.
Although he didn't understand the various data displayed above, looking at Xiao Di's serious comparison, the human wolf estimated that it should be the state data of the robot.
"Why is it so badly injured, the lines inside are all damaged."
Xiao Di lay on the robot and overhauled it carefully, and Xiao Di No. 1 replied: "I met a monster, he ran fast!" Thanks to the thrusters that Xiao Di gave me, I was able to lull the monster to sleep! ”
"I didn't save the little animal, Xiaodi, I'm useless."
One person, one machine, one word, one word, one word, one person
But soon, thinking of the sound patrol bat's cry before it died, the human wolf looked worried.
He knew that those bats had the ability to attract their companions.
For safety, he must immediately move the mechanic out of this place where he could be in danger at any moment!
