But the slender hands stretched out and silently touched Yuan Yuxue's hands that naturally hung on both sides.

Slightly cold to the touch.

The slender and white fingertips are as smooth and beautiful as white jade carving. But to the touch, it's extremely soft to the touch, and people can't help but want to seek more touch.

However, Jie Zhouyan was a little sluggish - after lightly touching Yuan Yuxue's hand, he neither chose to take it with the trend, nor did he withdraw his hand as if he were a touch. He just fixed his hand there, as if his whole body was stiffened in place, motionless, except for the small contact surface of his fingertips.

But such a move also made Yuan Yuxue have other reactions besides being in a "daze".

He turned his head slightly, and his very thin and long eyelashes drooped down, revealing a certain emotion that made people's hearts palpitate. In the trembling, the eyelashes are also like butterfly wings trembling, beautiful. Those beautiful dark eyes fell on Jie Zhouyan, looking at him extremely quietly.

But Yuan Yuxue actually didn't think about anything in his mind.

His heart was as silent as it was near desolation.

In fact, there is no need for the verbal comfort of Jie Zhouyan, in the use of the human language system, Yuan Yuxue will not do it better than Jie Zhouyan. He was actually very accustomed to this kind of lonely and silent patience, which was also related to the environment Yuan Yuxue was in before - most of the time when he was not on a mission, he would be locked in a narrow, dark, quiet "cocoon" and fall into hibernation.

Communication does not exist. Yuan Yuxue has many of the same kind, but it doesn't seem to be the same kind.

He's just Battle Robot 001.

But at this time, he suddenly wanted to say something to Jie Zhouyan.

Chapter 542: Thousand People Copy 128

As a humanoid machine used in war, what Yuan Yuxue has to think about is just how to complete the task more efficiently.

Other than that, he doesn't need to think about anything superfluous.

Complete tasks, follow the rules, and so on -

Article 3 of the Robot Code stipulates that robots should assist humans and their companions in distress without compensation, and remove potential threats for them, provided that they do not violate the current highest level orders. Even as a "defective product", Yuan Yuxue is very accustomed to enforcing this rule and assisting the victims in distress. But the premise of all this is without violating the mandate.

This time, however, the mission was to allow him to sit on the sidelines and watch many humans die.

Yuan Yuxue was at a loss for the first time.

He has carried out many missions, even if the priority of the task is first, and sometimes Yuan Yuxue has to postpone the rescue operation. But that's not the same either. It was the first time he had encountered such a strange and stark task request-

Feed those monsters with human flesh and blood.

And what is the difference between killing them?

Yuan Yuxue thought very seriously.

He was even able to accept that the mission required him to nourish those monsters with his own flesh and blood to meet the conditions for the mission to be achieved. Anyway, it's not that I haven't had such an experience - ah, Yuan Yuxue has indeed performed a few "death" type missions, and almost everyone thought that he should be scrapped in the wormhole, but Yuan Yuxue still came back alive later.

However, the task of sacrificing a large number of humans to achieve the goal made him feel from the bottom of his heart...... Something seems wrong.

Yuan Yuxue has always strictly followed the mission rules, whether it is blood, death, or anything that is terrifying, it can't stop Yuan Yuxue's pace, and it can't even make him shake in his heart—it shouldn't be shaken in the first place.

But he hesitated now.

He has "doubts" about the mission, which is definitely a taboo for war robots, and he should go to the mission step by step. Only a damaged robot would hesitate like this, and it needs to be destroyed immediately-

When Jiezhou Yan touched it, Yuan Yuxue was thinking about it. Just touched by the touch of the fingertips, more rebellious thoughts seemed to float in his mind.

Only damaged robots will question the mission objectives. But he's a broken robot.

Yuan Yuxue is a defective product.

He was meant to be destroyed.

It's just that for some wonderful reason, it was changed to a new working environment and reused - Yuan Yuxue always thought that maybe she had been "repaired", but now it seems that it is not.

Maybe it was repaired, but it wasn't repaired. He's still a defect. So the defective product has such an idea...... It doesn't seem to be incomprehensible.

Yuan Xue thought.

He also turned his head, and after looking at Jiezhou Yan for a short time, he suddenly spoke-

"Quit Zhouyan."

The previous Yuan Yuxue would never discuss these contents with others - but the previous Yuan Yuxue probably wouldn't question the content of the mission.

"The task is the most important thing." When Yuan Yuxue said this, her face was still expressionless. It's just that unlike the usual calm and cold, there is only a dark color of longing left in his eyes, and there is no trace of emotional fluctuations on his pale face, like a real, cold product made of some spirit jade, "All factors that interfere with the execution of the mission should not exist—right?" ”

He asked earnestly.

Jie Zhouyan was suspiciously silent.

He knows Yuan Yuxue's character very well, and he also knows how Yuan Yuxue has an unusual obsession with "accomplishing the task", and even the sentence that Yuan Yuxue asks now seems to indicate an attitude bias - but after being silent, Jie Zhouyan quickly replied.

"It's not."

"It's your will that counts."

His tone was calm, as if it were just an ordinary conversation. The dark pupils were foggy, and they couldn't reflect everything.

But there is only Yuan Desire Snow.

After saying this, Jie Zhouyan said a little rudely, "Don't think about anything - the things that hinder you, let them die." ”

“……”

The gaze of Yuan Xuxue, who usually makes Jie Zhouyan enjoy very much, really makes him sit on pins and needles at this time.

When Jie Zhouyan had already considered how to apologize for his words, he suddenly heard a very soft laugh.

It seems that I can't hold back. There was a slight smile that leaked out. Soon, Yuan Yuxue restrained that smile—so fast that he didn't even react just now, and he laughed out loud very unseriously.

"You're right." Yuan Yuxue said softly.

He is inherently defective, and it is normal for him to be faulty. It doesn't matter how the mandate is enacted—to hell with those people.

The worst thing is to be repaired or destroyed - to be honest, Yuan Yuxue doesn't really care.

I disobeyed the lab, fought against the mission, and destroyed the results, but I knew I was a good robot.

Yuan Xue thought.

Something seems to have changed.

The machine that walks alone in the vast snow has a warm body temperature that is different from the mechanical one.

……

Pulsing.

It's a human heart.

Chapter 543: Thousand People Copy 129

Even though Yuan Yuxue is "nowhere to be found", players still have not stopped exploring the quest to complete the quest.

They slowly "opened" each shelter according to the number given to it, from largest to smallest—of course, according to the mission information, they decided to open 30% of the shelters the first time. Flesh and blood to slow down the mutations of those monsters.

If the number of people is not enough, they will open 10% more shelters at a time until the mission requirements are met.

Now that the situation is serious, the monsters that have changed are getting more and more tricky, that is, the players who have recovered their full abilities are very difficult to deal with, and they can't be allowed to continue to be alienated - otherwise even the players will be destroyed with this dungeon.

After deciding to sacrifice the 30% of the shelter (and the citizens inside), there is of course a part of the preparation, which is also a privilege given to those players...... In this world, their "relatives" and "friends" are still quite concerned. Since it is impossible to cut off this part of the bond, it is also a wish to transfer these special NPCs to those safe shelters.

It's harmless, and it's a tacit agreement between players - even players who don't have friends or family to move to stop anyone else.

There is really no need to complain about such a trivial matter.

It is precisely because of this seemingly trivial reason that it has been fought for some time and delayed the opening of the shelter.

At least after confirming that there are no "people who should leave" in this shelter - those players who are responsible for destroying the shield will use their abilities to turn the originally safe shelter into an abandoned city.

This is also a helpless move. Without the maintenance of the player, or after the continuous reinforcement of these monsters, these originally safe shelters will one day be breached.

But in that case, even the players will never be able to escape.

This is also a kind of rhetoric that players use to comfort themselves...... After all, if they don't do this, after the continuous strengthening of the monsters, this disaster will not end, and these citizens will also die.

In doing so, they were able to save some of the people - and of course, the players would never want to think about it...... They do this more to protect their own interests.

If the quest asks them to sacrifice all the citizens in this dungeon...... Of course, there will be struggles, but after the struggles, these players will still go along with the will of more players. With just a few people, it really can't change anything, even if some players are strong.

The outcome of the mission will only be achieved in a torrent of will that cannot be disobeyed.

And now what they're doing is just artificially and tinily advancing the process - for the survival of the players.

……

At the normal rate of time, it should be dawn by now.

But the sky was still foggy, there was no sun, no light source, and the boundaries between day and night were blurred infinitely. Although it is very strange that people can see the scene in the distance, such a dull and gloomy sky still reminds people of a lonely night.

Young player, sitting on the highest roof in a daze.

The scenery in front of him obviously also made some confusion in his mind...... Is it dark? Or is it almost dawn?

The infinite blurring of the time scale, and even for a moment, made him forget what he was supposed to do.

Until the wrist, the cold mechanism disguised as a watch let out an extremely sharp hiss—it was more like the screeching sound of an old-fashioned train before it was about to start, and it was extremely penetrating, an uncompromising noise, as if it was about to tear a crack in the dark sky.

The voice was so clear that most of the people in the shelter could hear it, and for a moment, the people who were not in good spirits looked up in panic and asked left and right...... They didn't notice that the person in charge who would have appeared so often seemed to be gone.

But soon, the shrill sound that seemed to be an alarm came to an abrupt halt.

The player, covering his ears, quickly flicked a part on the mechanical watch, and the shrill hissing that almost pierced the eardrum quickly stopped. As if he had received some instructions, he finally slowly rose from the roof.

- Yes, that was the signal from the other player alliances that the retreat was complete and it was time for him to do it.

To be honest, destroying the Shelter's defensive shield is not a good thing, and many players are reluctant to do it.

On the one hand, if you don't escape in time, it's normal to be swarmed and eaten by monsters rushing around. Danger is absolutely unavoidable.

On the other hand, even if these humans are constantly hypnotizing, they are just NPCs in the dungeon - they are so similar to real humans that they are indistinguishable.

To send tens of thousands of people into the mouth of a monster, the huge guilt carried in it is difficult to quickly dissipate it, even if someone shares it.

But something like this always has to be done.

The reason why young people were chosen was simple.
