Little Robot on the Run

Chapter 49

Mobius ring.

On that rainy night not long ago, Biddle said that humans in the age of apocalypse were struggling so hard under the full-scale invasion of robots.

There is no way to get rid of machines and technology. Even after the disaster a hundred years ago, human beings are still taking huge risks.

It was a total machine invasion at the time.

But now, it is completely human beings, invading with a brand new attitude.

The study area is brightly lit.

A certain researcher looked at the screen with horror in his eyes, "The scanning image is densely packed, there is no way—"

"Contact the Second City General Base!"

"How many people need to be evacuated now?"

"Four regions, 1000 schools, about [-] million people."

……

The researcher gets to work on things.

Nan'an picked up the books scattered all over the place, organized them very neatly, and put them into a box beside them.

At this moment, he turned his head and saw Lin Ze walking towards him.

"Ke Luoyi." Lin Ze said lightly, "Take Nan'an to the underground base."

Koroy was slightly taken aback.

"Is it now?" he said.

Lin Ze: "Yes."

Nan An obediently stood aside. At this time, it was raining heavily outside the window, and the big holographic heads in the city were shaking left and right. The lights were chaotic, and the light made him squint his eyes.

"Do you need me to do anything else?" Nan'an asked.

Lin Ze: "No need."

His silver eyes looked at Nan'an, and after a while, he said, "Don't run around this time."

So Nan An really stopped running around.

He obediently followed Koroy out, carried two boxes, and took the high-speed elevator at the base.

At the moment when the cold steel door closed, Nan'an heard Lin Ze's communicator ringing, and Jason's voice came over: "The police department, all districts are now fully staffed, waiting for the final confirmation of the time."

"three hours."

Lin Ze said: "The impact is expected to begin in one hour."

Nan'an couldn't understand what they were saying, when he wanted to say more, the elevator door closed with a bang.

This is an elevator that can go directly to the underground base. Like the repair shop, there are four stop points on each floor. On the first floor, only a few members of the base, the data department, and the research institute... until the elevator stopped. layer.

The elevator door slowly opened.

Nan'an opened his eyes wide.

This was a scene he had never seen before. Under the tall circular roof at the entrance of the base, there was a dark stream of people, crowded and rushing towards the base.

In addition, there are also robots that are turned off. They are scattered among the crowd, like a pile of rusty broken copper and iron, being hugged or carried by the owner, and walking forward with the flow of people.

A group of evacuated residents came up the elevator.

They seemed to be in a state of shock. When they got on the elevator, they even tried the fingerprint verification several times, but their hands were so trembling that they couldn't put it on.

Nan An hugged the cardboard box and looked at Ke Luoy: "Is this going to evacuate everyone?"

Ke Luoyi frowned: "I don't know either."

Nan'an looked at the intern researcher's badge on his white coat, and knew that for Ke Luoyi, all he could do was wait for orders.

So Nan'an continued to stand obediently.

Lin Ze said he couldn't run around.

Then he didn't even move a step this time.

The elevator continued to sink, and the display on the side flashed the rate of descent, the air pressure outside the elevator, and the temperature. They were suspended with green data bars, surrounding Nan'an and the others.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a dull landing sound, and then a sweet mechanical female voice sounded.

"The [-]th floor of the underground base has arrived."

Accompanied by a female voice, the mechanically heavy elevator door opened, and the scene in front of him came in through the gap, slowly unfolding in front of Nan An——

Nan An opened his eyes wide, full of unexpected surprise.

It was a world he had never seen before.

Like on land, the base here almost completely reproduces the appearance of the city. Under the tall dome, modern buildings are next to each other. The holographic human face is engraved on the upper floor, surrounded by a blue-purple light circle. At the same time, There are also suspended trains speeding past, shuttling among the floors.

"It's actually... the same as the cities on land."

Nan An whispered something.

Ke Luoy: "The fourth city is like this, and the underground base in the second city is bigger than here."

He said as he walked out of the elevator, handed the box to the researcher on the side, turned to Nan'an and said: "The base here is only for emergency evacuation. Human beings cannot live underground for a long time and will face many problems, but the underground base in Ercheng can Residential, environmental facilities will be more advanced."

Nan'an: "Advanced? Such a city is not considered the most advanced.

What would Rose II be like?

Nan'an couldn't think about it so much. He watched Delya come over and said something urgent to Ke Luoyi, which required screening, partial evacuation, and blockade.

Nan An was listening.

He had heard these terms at the Kepler base, and those researchers said similar words.

It's just that at that time, he was just a little robot who didn't understand anything, lying on a cold mechanical chair, and his body was covered with wires, patches and testing machines.

But now, after staying in the institute for a while, the meaning of many terms gradually became clear in his mind.

"Dr. Lin wants to use the flow of high-energy particles to directly penetrate the chip of the robot." Delya said, "So the solar storm came at the right time."

"What about the rest?" Koroy frowned, "There are still many researchers and police officers who stay in the city to assist."

Delya shook his head: "I don't know, but the robot is already approaching the base."

After the words fell, he took out a small chip from his pocket, with the logo of 8768 on it, a miniature detector used by the base.Delya tapped lightly, and a tiny projection of the entire city immediately appeared in front of him.

In this light blue projection, Nan'an saw countless robots, they were densely packed around the city, like invading insects and ants.

In addition, there are mutated combinations and unknown mechanical monsters. They crawl on the streets of the city, and their slender mechanical arms clasp the walls of the building, shaking back and forth like a spider spinning silk.

The robots kept pouring out, and followed the fleeing crowd with claws and teeth. Then, Nan'an saw that their directions were gradually unified—the direction of the underground base.

"Will Lin Ze be in danger?" Nan An asked tremblingly.

"He should evacuate at the end." Delya said, "The instability of the high-energy electron flow may be a problem, so you must stay at the entrance and wait until the city is completely shut down before you can leave."

Nan An's eyelashes trembled, and he took a small breath.

He looked at this technological city built underground. Hundreds of elevators passed through the dome continuously and sank to the bottom of the city through circular tracks. Countless robots were on standby there to help humans evacuate.

Nan'an didn't know what would happen next.

But at this moment, his five senses were fully amplified, and he seemed to be able to hear the hooting of robots, the terrifying sound of rubbing against the walls, and the attacking sound of mechanical monsters attacking the outer wall of the base above the 30th floor.

Nan'an made his decision almost instantly. Amidst the astonishment of Delia and Ke Luoyi, he ran to the elevator decisively and pressed the up elevator button.

He is going to see Lin Ze.

No matter what happened afterwards, whether it was wage deductions or other things, Nan'an decided to stand with this human being.

The surrounding data bars jumped rapidly, the oxygen supply and outdoor temperature gradually increased, accompanied by a crisp ding, a female voice sounded, and all the suspended data disappeared instantly.

Nan'an put the rose in his pocket and took out his silver gun.

The heavy elevator door slowly opened again.

Accompanied, not just the dark crowd before.

There are also many robots hanging in the building not far from the entrance of the base. They cannot break into the underground base, just staring at the evacuated personnel in front of them.

But even so, Nan'an still saw in the distance, those bloody streets, smashed buildings, billboards, mechanical monsters constantly patrolling and wandering, men and women in tights who gave up their escape under the holographic head, still sitting on the street The drunks, as well as the humans with mechanical arms who resisted the attack, begged if they could be put into the base.

There was a lot of crying, screaming, and the sound of mechanical rotation that would never stop.

Nan'an took a few steps forward, the rain mixed with flashing blue and purple light hit him coldly on the face.

"Aren't they leaving?" Nan'an asked.

"Some gave up voluntarily." Flo walked over at this time, "There are also those who have planted high-risk chips before and cannot enter the base for the time being."

Flo said: "We need to ensure most of the safety, so we must give up a small number of people and robots. This is a choice we have to make. As for the others who do not evacuate, if you want to stay here, then respect their rights." choose."

Nan'an looked at everything in front of him.

He suddenly remembered the moment when he first entered the city, full of high-tech, luxurious holographic projections and billboards.

At that time, he thought, human beings are really powerful, they can create such things, and they can make everything look so dazzling and advanced.

As a little robot, he never expected how many crises and undercurrents were hidden under such technology.

At this time, Nan'an heard footsteps.

A familiar figure appeared in front of him. He stood on a platform not far away and shot at the mechanical monster outside the base.Then, he turned around coldly, and when those silver eyes saw Nan'an, a slight emotion flashed across.

Nan'an stayed where he was.

He looked at Lin Ze, just like the rainy night that night.

He didn't speak, he didn't back away, he didn't do anything, he just opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Ze with his whole body soaked.

Nan'an saw Lin Ze lightly jumping off the platform. He said something to the communicator, and the whole base immediately emitted a red warning light, and then he walked towards here step by step with the light on his back.

The surroundings fell into silence, and the entire city pressed the shutdown button in an instant.

The lights began to go out, starting from the underground base, one by one, one by one, the darkness gradually spread, gradually engulfing this once dazzling city.

Nan'an saw the last struggle of the robot, breaking through the defense line and biting several researchers, and also saw those decadent men and women, smiling but unwilling to leave, even though they were only tens of meters away from the base.

At the end, when the city lights go out and the solar storm is about to hit, everything, everything—seems to be emptied.

It's like the buzzing in the depths of the universe, an irresistible torrent of technology.

Humanity develops, falls, and then saves itself, develops, and falls again.

It seems to have entered a never-ending cycle, an inescapable Mobius ring.

The entrance of the base was slowly closed, accompanied by mechanical sounds and screams, and the blue-purple neon light disappeared. At the last moment, Nan'an saw a few petals of roses not far away, only the last few plants in the city , was trampled to the ground.

So Nan An ran over and carefully picked up these rose petals. In the silence, he held these roses carefully as if he was afraid of withering. Then he raised his eyes and saw Lin Ze approaching, and gently wiped them away. Tears in the corners of his eyes.

The closing sound of the last entrance to the base sounded, and the rose trembled in Nan'an's hands.

This chapter is a bit difficult to write, so it's a bit slow.

I have adjusted the update time in the past few days, and found that it is more appropriate to update at 12:9 noon and [-]:[-] p.m. I am grateful for all the support and company.
