Little Robot on the Run

Chapter 85

"Big Scientist"

In almost an instant, Nan'an locked the position of Sombra.

As a robot, it is not uncommon to use such an ability, because the transmission speed of electronic chips is extremely fast, compared to humans, he can perceive each other in the first time.

Nan'an pushed open the door and ran towards the place where the black shadow disappeared—in just a few seconds, he caught up with the black shadow, stretched out his hand and transformed into a robot form, grabbed the opponent's sleeve, and pulled him out.

"Well--"

The black shadow let out a pained voice: "Let me go!"

Hearing the immature voice, Nan An was taken aback: "Cub?"

His arm immediately turned back into a human form. With the neon light outside the corridor, Nan'an pulled him around and found that it was one of the cubs who were sleeping in the air-raid shelter, the boy named Kent.

"Why are you here?" Nan'an asked, "Where's your teacher?"

Kent bowed his head and said nothing.

Nan An: "If you don't answer...you will be fined to stand up later."

Kent hesitated for a long time, and finally hummed twice: "I miss my friend."

"friend?"

"I have a few good friends who have been playing with me all the time." He said, "But they have been gone since not long ago, and they don't come to the classroom anymore."

Nan An thought for a few seconds following his words, and suddenly thought of the list of cubs—from this point of view, Kent's friend should be a mutated cub, or at least risky, so he could only stay in the base.

So Nan An asked: "Do you miss them very much?"

"Of course." Kent said, "We grew up playing with them, and my brother also likes them very much, and sometimes takes them to visit the police station."

Nan An: "Your brother?"

"His name is Kenle," Kent said. "Police officer on base."

Hearing this, Nan'an tilted his head and recalled for a while, and realized that it was the police officer who gave him the bracelet.

At this time, Kent was still humming, even if Professor Biddle came over with candy, it would not help, he just wanted to find his friend.

Seeing that Biddle was also at a loss, Nan'an had no choice but to comfort Kent and said: "Your friend just can't come back temporarily, and went to study and live in another place."

Kent shook his head: "I don't believe it!"

He opened his eyes wide and said with red eyes, "They were taken away by the base, right? My brother is at the police station. Are they also locked up there?"

Hearing this, Nan'an fell into a tangle.

As a robot, he has no idea what a white lie is.Although the Kepler base had taught him, he really didn't understand the word.

At this moment, he heard Biddle say a place name: "In the base research institute."

Kent froze for a moment.

"You have a buddy named Wes, don't you?" Biddle said. "They're all there."

"Then I'm going!" said Kent. "I'm friends with them, and I'll go with them wherever I go."

Biddle shook his head: "No."

"why?"

"Because they are in a situation right now, only the base can help them, not even friends." Biddle said, "Go back, kid."

Kent was still on the spot, staring blankly at Biddle as if he didn't believe it.

Nan'an bent down and said softly to Kent: "Shall we go back?"

Kent responded lightly, and Nan'an thought it was a sign that he could go back, so he took his hand.

At this moment, I heard him say: "My brother once said to the communicator that they all have mutated chips and are controlled by the base."

"They won't come back." Kent said while crying, "I won't see them after the mutated chips are cracked."

Nan'an looked at Kent, with only a quiet and soft look on his face.

After a while, he said, "Yes."

Seeing Kent's gaze falling, Nan'an squatted down/body, the faint neon light outlined his good-looking outline, and his firm eyes: "The scientists in the institute are working hard. After you find out those bad guys with mechanical arms, you Your friends will meet you."

Perhaps because of the soft tone, Kent gradually calmed down.

After looking at Nan An for a few seconds, he lowered his head and shed tears: "Is it really possible?"

"I promise." Nan'an looked serious, "I also have a friend who is not around, but I believe he can come back."

Kent sniffled: "How can you guarantee it?"

"Um……"

Nan An tilted his head and thought for a few seconds, then stretched out his little hand: "Shall we pull the hook?"

Nan'an knows that this is a way of human commitment, not only the cub likes it, but he, a mechanical cub, also likes it very much.

When the hook was over, Kent went back like this.

Before leaving, he looked at Nan'an and suddenly asked, "Teacher's friend is at the base?"

"No."

"Then where is he now?"

Nan'an: "In the four cities."

Kent opened his eyes wide in surprise: "There are all big mutant monsters there."

Nan An paused for a few seconds and said, "Yes."

It was because of the terrifying mechanical monster that Lin Ze passed.As a scientist, Nan An knows that this is what he should do, just like he needs to take care of the cubs now.

So he said to Kent again: "Because he is a great scientist, so he is going there."

"Scientist?" Kent's tone was still slightly puzzled, but it took only a few seconds for him to realize, "I watched it on TV, and like my brother, he is a hero who protects us."

Nan An heard this and smiled, acquiescing to this statement.

He watched Kent being taken away—according to Biddle, Kenle was on his way, and he would take Kent home in a while.

For some reason, seeing Kent's back, Nan'an wanted to change Lin Ze's remarks again.

— Just change "a super villain" to "a great scientist".

Nan'an nodded to himself, planning to change it on the way back.

Before leaving, Biddle gave him a transparent umbrella, saying that the rain in the second city will be more frequent than that in the fourth city, and the probability of heavy rain is much higher.

Nan'an readily accepted.

The city lights are brilliant at night. When Nan'an leaves school, the billboards on the street can almost turn the night into day. Pedestrians are in a hurry, and the only echoes are the roar of cars and the faint dynamic music.

Nan'an has long been used to this kind of urban scene, he is no longer curious, but more concerned about modifying Lin Ze's remarks when he thinks about it.

The green light in front of him jumped to red at this moment.

Nan'an stood still in front of a corridor.He was holding a transparent umbrella, and the red and blue lights came in directly, so that all the street scenes could be seen at a glance—the opposite was a clean and old station, and countless people were waiting for the suspended train with no expression on their faces.On the other side, there is Bar Street, where men and women in tights are playing and playing, and some teenagers in hooded sweaters are spraying graffiti on the wall with robotic arms.

It seems that all this is very normal.

So Nan'an withdrew his gaze, turned on the communicator, and concentrated on revising Lin Ze's remarks.

At this time, he was holding the cake and roses with one hand, and tapped the screen with his thumb, while holding an umbrella with the other hand to prevent the rain from getting wet on the communicator.

The neon lights were flowing, and at the moment when Nan'an's revision was completed, he suddenly looked up and took a look at the station by a ghost - he saw Kent and Kenle standing together, waiting for the train.

Kent saw Nan'an first, so he smiled and waved his little hand.

Seeing this, Nan'an smiled happily.

He leaned the transparent umbrella to the right, intending to free his right hand. At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure approaching the station from the corner of his eye.

Even though the station was full of people, there was no room to spare.

But the figure still didn't stop.

The black umbrella he was holding perfectly covered his face, and Nan An couldn't see clearly, but a bad premonition came to his mind instantly, just like countless times before.

At this moment, Nan'an saw the black shadow standing behind Kent.

The rain fell on the transparent umbrella, mixed with a mechanical sound that would not be noticed at all, and a slender thing quietly grew out of the countless umbrella covers.

Nan'an opened his eyes wide.

And Kent was still waving at him, not noticing anything unusual.

But Nan'an could barely breathe, the roar of cars around him, the countdown of pedestrians passing by, the roar of trains in the distance - at this moment all turned into his beating heart.

Without any further hesitation, Nan'an dropped the transparent umbrella and cake and rushed towards the station.

At this time, the vehicle was speeding, and at the moment when the mechanical arm fully grew, it completely ran over his cream cake and roses.
