MTL - Right on Target-Chapter 133 Unique
At the beginning of 2163, there was a blizzard all over the world, and the world was like a rotten mat that could no longer resist the harsh wind. There are very few survivors of the Southern Alliance, and they followed in the footsteps of Xie Zhenshu and wandered among the ruins.
In the middle of last year, the commander-in-chief committed suicide during the siege. Tiancijiao wanted to reorganize the army, but the number of war weapons far exceeded imagination. Now, the southern city has long been turned into ruins, and everyone lives in fear of being ruled by killing weapons.
The experimenter ran away in a flood of Aoyin's surprise attack, leaving his assistant behind Xie Zhenshu. The assistant also wants to run, but there is no place that is safe now. These war weapons are very cunning. They first capture the aircraft on the northern front to transform themselves, and then rely on the detection system of the aircraft to hunt and kill humans, which makes people have nowhere to hide. Not long after, the survivors who were still wandering in the territory of the Southern Alliance fled to the city, seeking the protection of the mountain god.
But soon, Ao Yin, who was fascinated by machinery, focused on Zhuyin. They were like a group of flies that could not be driven away. Normal start.
In order to survive, Xie Zhenshu gave up on Zhuyin and left with the remaining survivors. They started heading north, originally planning to cross the border forest, but there were too many nocturnal wanderers on this route, so they had to divert to Mackerel Port.
According to reliable sources, there is still a ship in mackerel port that is well preserved, and they can cross the sea from here to the berthing area of the northern line.
The assistant opened the thermos cup and poured hot water from it. He didn't dare to drink first, so he changed into a clean disposable paper cup, handed the water to Xie Zhenshu, and said, "Sir, drink some."
After more than a year, Xie Zhenshu became whiter. The long absence of daylight made him look like a jade sculpture born at night, and when he sat still, he looked sleepy. But as long as he raises his eyes a little, his eyes are like the cold wind outside the tent, never staying for anyone, as if he has been staying far away from people.
He said, "Thank you."
The assistant hurriedly said "You're welcome", he packed his backpack and carefully stuffed it between his legs, so that even if he fell asleep, no one else could touch his backpack. He wrapped his ill-fitting military overcoat tightly, and said, "Sir, we've come within range of the mackerel port, can we see the ship soon?"
Xie Zhenshu "hmm" for an answer.
When they left, they took the equipment needed for the connection from the lab. During the day, Xie Zhenshu will lead the survivors forward in the heavy snow, and at night, he will control the boredom and lead the vigil. After a few months, even the gods will show some fatigue.
The assistant stopped talking, and drank hot water from the thermos. There is a simple electric stove on the side, and everyone sits around here. After a while, a believer from Tianshou closed the book of gods and began to pray to the book of thanks.
Everyone took it for granted, and even recited the teachings of the divine scriptures in a low voice. Only Xie Zhenshu looked indifferent, lowered his eyes, and turned a deaf ear to it.
It was snowing so hard today that they stopped their progress and huddled in their tents to wait for the snow to stop. Xie Zhenshu took a short nap, and when he woke up again, it was already dark.
The assistant said: "Why is the snow still not stopping? If it keeps falling like this, the road will be blocked."
The believers said piously: "With the gods here, you and I will surely arrive smoothly. Don't be afraid, don't panic. Come, come with me, to God..."
He was disheveled and unkempt, and because the people he knew almost died when he was in danger several times, he regarded Xie Zhenshu as a god, and he was extremely fanatical in prayer, even a little crazy.
Xie Zhenshu ignored them, broke his hard bread, and ate a little.
Around nine o'clock, the wind outside the tent gradually died down, and the assistant came to the door, wanting to see the situation. He put on the night gear he took off from the corpse, squinted one eye, and said while watching, "The snow has accumulated up to the thigh."
The others leaned over to the assistant and asked in a hurry: "How is the car we parked next to us? How about the boredom? Is the boredom frozen? Are the supplies okay?"
The assistant said: "It's good, everything is good! It's so close, we can really hear everything... Hey! I see a light in the distance."
In the distance, there are two lights like car lights, driving unsteadily in the snow.
The assistant suddenly said: "Turn off the lights, quick!"
The survivors quickly turned off the electric stove and huddled together coweringly, not daring to speak in the dark.
It's freezing cold, no one is rushing in the middle of the night, most of them are war weapons wandering here. Because of Ao Yin's fickleness, it is very difficult for everyone to tell who the other weapons of war are except for the Night Walking Girl.
The assistant couldn't see its whole picture clearly, but felt that it looked more like a car than a car, and the lights were still scarlet. When it gets closer, it can be seen that it seems to be injured and limping.
As long as it is not Ao Yin, Ao Yin has a detection system that can detect the location of human beings, other war weapons are not necessarily the case, most of them follow Ao Yin's instructions, or can only detect weapons and equipment.
The assistant did not dare to continue to spy, for fear of exposing himself with the equipment at night. He held his breath and leaned against the others, listening to the limping monster come closer. The believer hugged the divine book tightly, closing his eyes and meditating on something. After about two minutes, the monster passed them.
One said, "Let's go."
The assistant let out a sigh of relief, and said, "The sound is heavy, but I don't know what it's doing or where it's going. Don't encounter it on the road tomorrow."
The believer said: "There is a god, it can't do anything to us, even if we meet-"
The top of the tent suddenly became a little lower, and only a few sharp screams were heard, and the whole tent was crushed.
The assistant said: "It didn't go away, it's about to collapse!"
A group of people grabbed their backpacks and rushed towards the door. The tent collapsed on the snow with a "boom", and several survivors who hadn't escaped were crushed underneath, crying loudly.
The believer picked up the divine book, smashed it on the head of one of them, and said fiercely, "Don't cry!"
Shouting will attract more monsters.
The assistant ran to the position of the car, the snow had already buried his legs, and he had to help the officer open the connecting device.
Everyone finally saw the whole picture of the monster, which turned out to be a strange bird. The bird had nine metal heads and a thick neck that shook like dancing snakes.
The believer retreated in a hurry, but the ferocious bird bit his waist first, and threw him up violently. The believers still remember the warning they gave to others just now, with a piercing voice: "Help, help-!"
"Boom!"
Xie Zhenshu fired a shot, and the bullet hit the ominous bird's head, causing it to let go.
The believer fell into the snow, got up immediately, and ran towards the car in a panic, followed by the rest of the people.
Xie Zhenshu pulled the trigger and fired again. The murderous bird tilted its head after being hit, and uttered a pain-like cry. This scene is very inconsistent. It is a mechanical body, so it shouldn't be afraid of pain.
The ominous bird lowered its beaten head, opened its mouth, and made a gesture of wanting to vomit. It flapped its iron wings and sang again.
Xie Zhenshu backed away quickly and got into the car. The assistant had switched on the device and said to him, "Sir, boredom might—"
"Boom!"
The ominous bird ran and bumped, hitting the car doors and windows with its head. The assistant hugged his head tightly amid the exploding glass shards, protected the device under his body, and said, "It may be a little slow! Be careful!"
The fierce bird was still banging on the door, denting it. Just as it was about to stuff its head into the window, a hand reached out from behind, grabbed its neck, and pulled it back.
The fierce bird yelled and dragged it away from the car in disgust. It kicked its feet like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered. Those restless heads bumped into the snow, as if the system was disordered, and their behavior was very strange.
Xie Zhenshu found that its joints were not installed properly, so he broke several of its necks. The fallen metal heads rolled in the snow, and after a few minutes, the murderous bird was completely motionless.
The believer said: "Okay, okay, it's okay. Thank God, every time I can..."
He muttered, said something that only he could hear clearly, and bowed and bowed to the book of thanks pillow with his eyes closed.
The assistant jumped out of the car and waded through the snow to the side of the murderous bird. He tapped on the belly of the fierce bird, and said, "I've never seen this thing before, it looks weird like the legendary ghost car bird."
Tired of touching the back of the bird, there is a gap.
The assistant went around there. Use pliers to unscrew the iron plate at the gap. He took a few glances inside and said, "There is something bright inside, it should be something like a chip."
He reached in, found some wires, and tried to yank out the embedded chip. But he didn't know where he bumped into during the pulling process. He only heard the sound of "beep beep" from inside, and the vicious bird started counting down.
Xie Zhenshu had a premonition that something was wrong, but unfortunately it was too late, the body of the fierce bird exploded! The car shook violently during the impact and eventually overturned on the snow.
"Di-"
Annoyed by the sudden jump in the internal values, it has been left unrepaired in the war for more than a year, and it has already been covered with bruises. The parts flew away due to the self-explosion of the fierce bird, making it difficult to move again.
Xie Zhenshu was disconnected, his vision was blurry. He took a few breaths, pushed away the material box on his body, and climbed out through the broken window. Blood poured from the overturned car, and he dragged out a few survivors, all dead.
"Xiang..." The believer hung his upper body and was stuck in the seat. He was still holding the divine book, mumbling: "Pray to the gods..."
When Xie Zhenshu got him out, he still had a little breath left. The rolling eyes saw Xie Zhenshu from the sky, and wanted to say something. But in the end, he just let out his breath and died.
The north wind howled, and Xie Zhenshu's black hair was blown. He sat for a while, with thin snow covering his shoulders. His handsome face became paler, and those human things kept flowing from his body, and he didn't feel any sadness. At last he got up and dragged the bodies together for the snow to bury. At dawn, he left alone.
Xie Zhenshu went to the port, but found that the boat there had already been driven away. He found a car available and turned around for the border jungle. A month later, he crossed the border forest and entered the territory of the northern front.
The troops on the northern front were destroyed in the attack of war weapons, and some dilapidated camps along the way were requisitioned by monsters. When Xie Zhenshu was looking for supplies, he found a cellar in the camp. He opened the cellar and saw several people inside.
They are all naked and domesticated by monsters as pets.
"Sir, sir!" Someone hid his face and cried in the dark shadows of the cellar, "Don't go...it's me!"
He moved the arm covering his face, revealing a bearded face, which turned out to be the experimenter who escaped last year.
Xie Zhenshu jumped down to the cellar and unlocked those locks. The experimenters followed others to pick up some clothes to cover their bodies, and then read Xie Zhen's book, and couldn't help crying. He hastily wiped his face and said, "Sir, it's great to see you again... You, where are you going? I'll follow you! I'll be your cow and horse."
Experimenter—no, he should be called No. 05 now, he is no longer an experimenter. There is a metal ring around his neck, and on the ring is the "05" mark left by Ao Yin.
Xie Zhenshu said: "The people who followed me are all dead."
Hearing this, No. 05 burst into tears: "Sir, it's okay to die with you. I was being walked as a dog by those monsters on a chain, and I lived like a beast."
When he cried, the people around him felt sad and cried too. Xie Zhenshu can only drink water, not comfort.
Half an hour later, No. 05 calmed down, and took the initiative to talk about the situation on the northern line: "I ran out with my family, and met a group of survivors going north on the road, followed them to the border, and found that Ao Yin was also here. Our car had no time to turn around and was caught by Ao Yin. At first, they only killed people, but later, they recognized me—”
Xie Zhenshu was taken aback for a moment, then repeated in a deep voice: "They recognize you?"
No. 05 nodded, and said, "Yes! It's... too scary. It recognized me as an experimenter who participated in the production, so it pulled me to the front, put this metal ring on me, and ordered me..." Red, hard to say, "Order me to crawl like a dog, tie me to the gate of the camp, let me bark like a dog when I hear the sound...I won't obey...but they shocked...I..."
The fine snow drifted quietly, and No. 05 hunched over and shed tears. After a while, he continued: "Sir, Aoyin has evolved too fast...I originally thought of them as a group of crazy robots, but last winter, I realized that they have gone beyond my imagination. I saw them in the Light a bonfire at night and pay homage to 36810 in the night sky.”
It was an extremely weird scene. A group of robots, cloaked in darkness, stepped forward one by one in the ruined wilderness, mourning an abandoned paper notebook. They called 36810 "Dad" and used the dignity of those who had hurt Dad as sacrifices.
Xie Zhenshu pushed aside the snow and found the half-burned notebook under the frozen bonfire. He tried to open the notebook, but there was nothing in it, except that the shape was similar to the one left by 36810.
Who would have thought that the exiled genius would be commemorated in this way.
Xie Zhenshu thought of the experiment in District 14, maybe not only the commander of the southern line, but also the main **** system of the northern line regretted abandoning 36810.
No. 05 asked: "Sir, where are we going next?"
Xie Zhenshu said: "North."
No. 05 said: "Are you still looking for 7-006?"
Xie Zhenshu said: "Yes."
No. 05 said: "I was in the camp and met the arrested northerners. They told me that Fu Chenghui was killed by the Lord God system, and the black panther is gone."
Xie Zhenshu put down his notebook and said, "There are people waiting for me in the north."
No. 05 said: "The road is so long and so dangerous, sir, it's not worth it to go further north. It's okay to be killed, but if Ao Yin catches it, life would be worse than death."
Xie Zhenshu said: "Yes."
No. 05 was silent for a while, and said: "Sir, I heard from people on the northern line that Fu Chenghui may not exist. He is the incarnation of the system Ares, specially used to provoke wars. That very powerful 7-001 returned to the light track area , smashed the head of Ares, but it still exists. Intelligent systems cannot kill them. They are not afraid of these weapons of war, and are still preparing their own experiments. There must be a death struggle between the two sides. You have to go north, That's a dead end."
The snow fell and fell, and No. 05 slowly backed away. After a while, he wiped his face, forced a smile, and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, I can't... I dare not go that way. Thank you for saving us, again and again...Really."
Finally, he said.
"Goodbye sir."
Xie Zhenshu walked forward alone, and he didn't look back. The snow was blowing on his face, he had nothing but the wanted warrant in his pocket.
