Volume 1 Desert Symbols Chapter 7 They are still alive
This factory didn't know what machinery it was producing before, not only was the outside full of things similar to mechanical arms, but even the inside was also full of various mechanical shells, and the ground was scattered with all kinds of threads and things similar to iron sheets.
He and Liancheng secretly followed Gu He into the depths of the factory, which looked like a warehouse with lights inside.
I saw Gu He check it privately, and after making sure that no one was following, he walked into the warehouse.
Xue Shanhai and Liancheng squatted behind a pile of instruments nearby, looking through the crack in the door to see the situation inside.
Unexpectedly, there was a barge inside, and without even thinking about it, Cheng was about to rush in and drag Gu He out, but just as he was about to stand up, he was pulled by Xue Shanhai.
Xue Shanhai motioned to wait first, and pointed at Gu He.
Unexpectedly, Gu He was not only not afraid of the barge, but walked into the barge step by step, and the barge was also strange, seeing Gu He walking over, he did not make an attacking gesture, but stood there motionless, Xue Shanhai saw clearly that this barge was tied to a big pillar by a chain.
Gu He sat down less than a meter away from the barge, and took out the food he was carrying and fed it to the barge, watching the barge gobble up food, he said something with a smile, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious, Xue Shanhai and they were too far away to hear what he said. But looking at Gu He's face of that barge, it was like treating a relative who had been reunited after a long absence.
"This Gu He looks honest, why did he secretly raise a pet, don't you know about it?" Xue Shanhai looked at Liancheng and couldn't help complaining.
"I don't know." Liancheng frowned.
But Liancheng didn't talk nonsense, regardless of Xue Shanhai's obstruction, he walked directly into the warehouse, and without saying a word, he escaped from the dagger of Dream Flower and rushed towards the tied barge.
Gu He didn't expect Liancheng to appear in such a place, seeing that Liancheng was about to stab this barge to death, he didn't think about it and blocked in front of him, and the dagger of Dream Flower stabbed into his chest, fortunately, Dream Flower did not harm the human body, otherwise Liancheng really didn't know how to end it.
"Idiot, do you want to die for such a beast?" Liancheng punched Gu He in the face, Gu He took a few steps back and fell to the ground, covering his red and swollen face and looking at Liancheng in surprise.
"Liancheng, why are you here?"
"I've been in the tower for so long, I didn't even know you kept this thing outside, do you know how many of us have been killed by this thing, what do you mean by maintaining it now?" Liancheng asked.
"It's not like the others, it's my sister!" Gu He hurriedly explained: "Moreover, it won't hurt people, I promise!" ”
"You promise to have a fart? Even though it used to be your sister, it's now a barge without any consciousness, and you want to wait for it to turn us all into barges when you keep it? "Liancheng doesn't want to hear explanations at all, refutation is refutation, a monster with no human emotion, no consciousness, and only knows how to eat.
"No, she still knows me, she can change back!" Gu He stood up, pointed to the refutation in front of him and explained: "She has been locked up here by me since she became a refute, and she has never hurt anyone, not now, and not in the future." ”
Liancheng couldn't help but give Gu He another punch: "What kind of hysteria, after so many years, if they could change back, they would have changed back long ago!" ”
"Liancheng, I know you hate it, and so do I! Their appearance has taken away our family, friends, and even occupied our homes, and I don't want to let them disappear for a day, but what if, in case these retorts still have consciousness, in case one day we find a way to make them turn back......" Gu He was also a little excited, and his whole face turned red.
"Wake up! Stop dreaming! Perhaps unable to accept being deceived by a partner he had always trusted, Liancheng vented all his anger on this barge, and couldn't help but take out a dagger and stab at it.
"No way!" Gu He said and stepped forward to stop again, and the two of them fought in front of this barge.
And Xue Shanhai looked at these two people, and then looked at the barge that was tied to the pillar, and he didn't know whether to step forward and pull the frame for a while.
"Get out of the way!" Liancheng punched Gu He's body again, and Gu He's head was buzzing after this punch.
"Please, don't kill it." Gu He knew that he was not Liancheng's opponent, and after receiving a few punches from Liancheng, he actually knelt in front of Liancheng with a thud.
"What are you doing here?" Lian Cheng saw Gu He kneeling in front of him, and the fist he had just raised could only be put down, he had experienced many things big and small over the years, life and death, no matter how ordinary, but it was the first time he had seen someone as obsessed as Gu He with such a deep obsession.
The barge behind him also seemed to feel Gu He's emotions, and he actually let out a muffled snort, as if they were pleading with Liancheng together.
"Hey, hey, although I, as an outsider, shouldn't intervene at this time, but you can't get any results if you continue to fight like this, Liancheng, you might as well listen to what Gu He has to say, so as to give him a chance to explain." Xue Shanhai couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly stepped forward to play a round.
Faced with this embarrassing situation, Lian Cheng had no choice but to retract his anger just now, and glared at Gu He with his waist in his arms, waiting for him to explain.
Gu He said that when the barge invaded the city, he also witnessed the tragic situation in the city with his own eyes, and that day he hid here with his sister, but unfortunately there was also a barge hidden here, and the barge bit his sister and then fled.
Because the wound was too serious, his sister only had one breath left, dying, Gu He didn't want to lose his sister who depended on him for his life, so Gu Cheng chained her here before his sister became a barge, for so many years, he has been secretly coming here to visit his sister who has become a barge, which is a little different from the barge outside, the sister who has just become a barge has not hurt anyone, so it seems that there is no cruelty outside.
Later, he was taken to the tower by Liancheng, only to know that the people outside had all been swallowed up and fallen, and the only people who survived were a few of them who were brought into the tower, and Gu He was one of them.
Gu He didn't know if he was unlucky or lucky, it was good to be alive, but watching the originally prosperous city turn into a dead city overnight, such a reality made him unacceptable for a while.
He was originally a member of Liancheng's company, and now he is repairing the barrier system with Liancheng, but when he checked the system data, he found the database of the Dream Flower system, which also has the information of the residents of the entire city, and the lives of those people are all recorded, and the slightest detail is so detailed, as if these people are still living in another world, Gu He found his sister's, looking at his sister's life record from childhood to adulthood, everything was in a trance just yesterday, and his sister was still celebrating his birthday. A thought popped up in Gu Cheng's heart, maybe those who refute the consciousness of the remaining human beings are not necessarily.
So from that day on, Gu He always came here secretly, and told this refutation all the details of his relationship with his sister as a story, hoping that one day it would be able to understand it, and maybe it would regain consciousness.
This has been the case for many years, day by day, and it has never changed.
In fact, Gu He himself sometimes felt that he was deceiving himself. But the barge also seemed to feel his mood, every time Gu He told a story, he would listen patiently, and let out a few muffled hums from time to time in response, back and forth, Gu He couldn't tell whether it was his own illusion or the emotion of the real person.
"So you ran out of the tower with me on your back just to tell a story? Stupid can. Liancheng was a little helpless, but he was not as angry as he was just now.
"So, please, don't hurt it." Gu He was still kneeling, looking like he wouldn't get up if he didn't dispel his thoughts.
Liancheng couldn't help it, he withdrew the blade, facing the man in front of him, he didn't know what to evaluate, naïve or naïve? Persistence or stubbornness?
But it didn't matter, the important thing was that Gu He's behavior reminded him of the past that he wanted to forget.
"You're right, they're still alive." Liancheng suddenly said slowly.
Hearing Liancheng say this, Gu He was also stunned, and Xue Shanhai, who was standing next to him, was even more confused.
"Remember the first development project of the Gu Group?" Liancheng continued.
Gu's Group? He really lied at that time? Xue Shanhai was stunned, but continued to listen.
Gu He remembered that it was a long time ago, before he attacked the city, Liancheng developed a brand new system, which can upload people's consciousness radio waves and upload the memories in the human brain to the database in the form of numbers. The data that carries the memories can be implanted into the robot's chip, and the robot can have the memories of humans exactly like the owner of the memory, and in some ways the dying can be 'resurrected' in this way.
"As long as we upload your sister's memory data into the made robot chip, you can get an identical sister." Lian Cheng's gaze suddenly became a little sharp, and he leaned over to look at Gu He, as if waiting for his answer: "In other words, now we can extract the data of any person in this city to resurrect them, and we can create a machine city, exactly like the original city." ”
"Liancheng! Robots are different from people, even if they have the same memory, the same behavior pattern, and even the same appearance, but they are not that person after all, and the dead cannot be resurrected, this is an eternal law. Gu He immediately knew Liancheng's intentions, and he also remembered that Liancheng wanted to resurrect a dead person in this way, and that desire even became stubbornness, and he paid a heavy price for it.
He didn't forget those memories, but he didn't expect that one day he would have some understanding of Liancheng in the face of his deceased relatives.
"Gu He, it was you who stopped me at that time, so there were no serious consequences. But what are you doing now? What you're doing now is 10,000 times stupider than I was back then. Lian Cheng pointed to the barge behind him and continued: "As for that thing, which one do you think is more real, it or the robot?" You have said that people cannot be resurrected after death, not to mention that this is a refutation, it is another species, not a human! He's not your sister, your sister is dead! ”
Being scolded by Liancheng like this, Gu He was also stunned in place, for so many years, he has been treating that barge as his sister, and that barge is his family to him, but being scolded by Liancheng like this, Gu He seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on his head, and he was a lot more sober, he turned his head and looked at the barge next to him, although the guy was changed by his sister, but its strange face still revealed the ferocity of a beast, and the sharp claws and the muffled snort of the beast from time to time proved that this thing was already another creature.
"So, fix it and follow me back to the Tower." Lian Cheng coldly dropped a sentence and handed the Dream Flower Dagger in his hand to Gu He.
"I can't, it was my sister after all." Gu He was like a deflated ball, and he couldn't do anything about it.
While the two were at a stalemate, there was a heavy noise from outside the warehouse, and a few beastly roars, even the one that had been chained to the pillar was uneasy, and his mouth let out a low whining roar, as if in response to the sounds outside.
"Oh no, its companion is here."
"It seems like there's more than one or two." Xue Shanhai ran to the door and poked his head out to look, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, these scarlet eyes were like red stars in the dark, and the number alone was innumerable.
