"WAKE COMMAND: MATAU, CAN YOU HEAR ME?"

The familiar gentle voice came, and it belonged to Arilda in front of the screen, who was as gentle as a mother and looked at the MATAU program on the screen with a smile.

"Command received, runner loaded."

"So, please introduce yourself to me."

"Dear Professor Arielda, I am MATAU, and I am part of the R-E031 Institute's Defense Center, and my duty is to protect all members of the Institute and eliminate external risks."

"Very well, my child, from today onwards, do your duty well."

What a smile it is, and MATAU has saved it in a database.

"Understood."

"As a gift of birth, this is given to you." ARILDA PLACED THE OBJECT IN HER HAND IN FRONT OF MATAU'S IDENTIFICATION CAMERA, AND HE IMMEDIATELY ANALYZED IT AS A SPECIMEN BELONGING TO A DANDELION FLOWER, WHICH HE HAD IN POSSESSION OF THE DATABASE. "It's pretty."

"Love that can't stay." MATAU's database showed the dandelion flower language as it went, but he didn't understand it at the time.

The quiet days didn't last long.

Danger had befallen Arielda, but she hadn't expected the remnants to come so quickly. Even more unfortunate was the few days when he was about to stop supplying energy.

HE ANALYZED ARILDA'S FACIAL EXPRESSION AND FELT THE EMOTION OF ANGER, LIKE A SPARK CAUSED BY THE COLLISION OF INTERNAL STRUCTURES THAT CAUSED THE COMPUTATION TO SLOW DOWN, WHICH MATAU UNDERSTOOD.

A new emotion was born, and it came from Arielda, who had abandoned him and defended the victims to the death.

He was detached from Alilda's care, and instead of being with him as she was with him again, she ran away to the dangerous refugee pile.

"When you grow up, you have to learn to be independent." MATAU DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO GROW UP AND OPTIMIZE HIS PROGRAM?

Database analysis, showing evaluation, which is called selfless fraternity.

MATAU LOOKED AT ZOU XIAQI, WHO DID NOT HESITATE TO DIE IN ORDER TO PROTECT HIS FAMILY, AND THE EMOTION THAT ONCE MADE HIM PUZZLED REAPPEARED.

He seemed to be able to understand, even if it was still abstract and vague.

THINKING OF THIS, MATAU SILENTLY RUMMAGED THROUGH THE RUINS OF THE SECOND STORAGE ROOM NOT FAR AWAY, SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING THAT MADE HIM RELUCTANT TO GIVE UP.

TWILIGHT NOTICED MATAU'S UNUSUAL BEHAVIOR AND QUIETLY FOLLOWED.

MATAU WAS INTENTLY ANALYZING THE SCANNER, AND HE WAS SURE THAT WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR WAS BENEATH THE PILE OF RUBBLE.

Finally, he found a dusty, badly damaged specimen of dandelion flowers, the most precious gift Arilda had ever given him.

Twilight notes that this specimen has been featured in the video, and has been sitting on Arielda's desk since before MATAU was developed.

"Love that can't stay." MATAU MUTTERED TO HIMSELF.

Twilight remembers what Arilda said at the end, "Will he resent me for leaving him here alone?" ”

"Arielda's love has been given not only to you, but perhaps also selflessly shared with those who have been scathed, and even more humanity waiting to be saved." Twilight stared at the mechanical arm holding the specimen tightly, as if she was not looking at the cold machine, but at a living little boy standing beside her.

For Zou Xiaqi, his love may not be limited to the love of his children, but is poured into each of his family members.

"You may not know that Arielda's 'New World' project." Twilight spoke lightly. "It's a bold project that requires a lot of support, and Arilda started gathering strength early on."

"In other words, the attack on this institute is likely due to the Doomsday Agency's awareness of her intentions."

MATAU RESPONDED COLDLY, "WHAT DO I BELIEVE IN YOU? ”

"Don't forget, we're still partners, and the initial condition of cooperation was to protect Alilda's hard work."

"As I said, Arilda is my predecessor, I belong to the same organization as her, and I have long carried on her legacy and started to participate in the New World Project." Tap the USB flash drive before dusk.,This is also the one who wants to prompt MATAU.。

She blocked the part involving the New World Project in advance, causing Chaozhe not to see it, which is also her selfishness, this plan is too risky, and the less it can be involved, the better.

BUT MATAU DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AWARE OF ARILDA'S PRIVATE PLANS.

"Arielda's New World Project is to fight against the Ark Project, and she wants to save the humans abandoned by the Ark Project and give them a chance to survive." Twilight methodically explained to him. "It's also the work of Arilda for the rest of her life."

"The goal of this mission is one of the indispensable proofs of the launch of the Ark Project. This is a corollary and verification about the coming of the first great storm. With this, the agency has ample evidence to start the Ark Project. So I hacked into the system and forcibly assigned the task to our team, in exchange for the situation of cooperating with you now. ”

Speaking of which, Twilight felt even more apologies to the sacrificed Zou Xiaqi, but she would never let him die in vain, but successfully used the data to make it an important part of the mission.

"You are no longer a mere defensive center, from the moment Professor Arilda insisted that you run and even optimize before she died, you have been like her Noah's Ark, loaded with hope waiting for us to provide you with a harbor."

Twilight said earnestly, "You are her messenger and her hope. ”

"And her most cherished child."

This sentence is like a key, opening the memory storage data hidden deep in the MATAU library.

Memories that had never been experienced before began to run in that instant, and in the midst of these fragments, MATAU saw—

Who is this, the little boy?

The young boys ran around the lab with toys in hand, bouncing happily from time to time, and laughter was passed on to each of the researchers, who looked at the boy in front of them with a smile on their faces.

"Shifeng, stop playing, it's time to eat." THE VOICE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE FAMILIAR, AND MATAU FELT A WAVE OF SADNESS RUNNING THROUGH HIS SYSTEM, IT WAS THE PERSON HE LOVED MOST: ARILDA.

Arilda cared for the boy in front of her, gently kneading the cute boy's face with her hands from time to time.

"Little MATAU, do you want to eat tomato with your aunt, there are a lot of delicious tomato here for aunties." Several smiling researchers said to Shi Feng.

"Yes, yes!" Shi Feng looked very happy, and ran towards them in high spirits.

‘MATAU? Tomato？ Is that my name? MATAU SEARCHED THE SCENE IN CONFUSION.

He looked at the boy in front of him who had the same voice as him, and not only did he speculate, could this boy be him?

Is he Professor Arielda's child? Is he the wind of the times?

MATAU WAS INCREDULOUS AT WHAT WAS IN FRONT OF HIM.

But he watched Arilda treat Shifeng and his attitude towards him, and felt that his memories kept overlapping.

Fortunately, there were no tears in the machine.

Otherwise, he would have been crying here.
