not heavy

After leaving the repair shop, they turned onto the expressway from the nearby ramp. However, there were a lot of cars on the expressway at the moment, and it was busier than during the National Day. No matter whether they were going out of the city or in the direction of the city, they couldn't reach a speed of more than [-] per hour.

"What's going on?" Meng Buzhong asked, "Is the highway free?"

"It's impossible for free." Tao Zhi checked the news, "It is said that the android riots mainly broke out in the cities, and many people were going back to their hometowns in the countryside in order to escape; Go to various conscription offices; people who want to make war money are trying to transport and resell military supplies; there are also a few like you who have been recruited by the Association of Supernatural Beings, and these people are running at high speed."

"We were not recruited, but were invited to go to the association to see the situation." Meng Buzhong corrected.

"Okay, if you don't think so, then it's not." Tao Zhi disagreed.

Sure enough, the road got more and more blocked, and it didn't move at all when it reached the neighboring city.

The traffic didn't move for half an hour, so Zhou Xi could only stop and turn off the engine.Looking out of the window, Meng Buzhong saw that someone was already playing badminton in the driveway next door.Tao Zhi bent over and kicked his legs on the side of the road, only to find a bottle of sports drink on the ground, which was filled with a light yellow unknown liquid. Visually, some elder brother couldn't hold back and solved the urge to urinate on the spot.

Huo Yusheng got out of the car and wandered around, inquired about it, and then swiped the public social software, saying that there was a traffic jam of ten kilometers ahead, and the reason was that an ice-type supernatural person fought with a bionic person, freezing the entire bridge deck, The car skidded as it was going up, hit five or six cars in a row, and the traffic police rushed to block the road.

"Then what do we do now?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Let's find a nearby ramp to get off the expressway, instead of taking the expressway, let's go to the head office." Meng Buzhong said.

Zhou Xi checked the navigation: "The nearest ramp is two kilometers away from us. The traffic police are already diverting some of the vehicles ahead to get off the highway. It is estimated that it will be our turn in four hours."

"Four hours?!" Huo Yusheng collapsed in the back seat.

"How did you predict it?" Meng Buzhong wanted to struggle again.

Zhou Xi pointed to his eyes: "I have connected to the monitoring of the traffic control system, and it can be calculated based on the speed of the road thawing and the speed of vehicle diversion."

Meng Buzhong resignedly opened a pack of snacks and said angrily, "This is illegal intrusion, how can you be so capable?"

"Their system is not perfect, so they won't be discovered." Zhou Xi observed his expression, "Why are you unhappy?" Wouldn't it be good to know the road conditions in advance?

"I realize now that sometimes it's really not a good thing to know the ending in advance." Meng Buzhong casually stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth, "If you don't spoil the spoiler, we might be able to survive these four years in a daze and hope." Hours."

"I don't need to eat." Zhou Xi took out the bun and handed it back to Meng Buzhong, "Eat it."

"..." Meng Buzhong looked at Zhou Xi, and took the bun hesitantly.

He felt that he might have short-circuited his brain just now, why did he stuff the bun into Zhou Xi's mouth?Then why can Zhou Xi calmly take it out of his mouth and return it to him?

Always feel something is wrong.

But he still ate the bun as if nothing had happened, it's not unhygienic anyway, right?

While eating, Meng Buzhong couldn't help but glance at Zhou Xi, Zhou Xi noticed it, and asked him what's the matter, Meng Buzhong said nothing, but he was a little choked, and Zhou Xi thoughtfully handed him some water.

Meng Buzhong drank the water and chewed the buns, there was a smile in Zhou Xi's eyes?Probably an illusion.

Huo Yusheng played badminton with the lane next door, which made the people in the lane tremble.Tao Zhi sat on the floor playing cards with others, and actually won 200 yuan.Meng Buzhong got out of the car and wandered around for a couple of times, then went back to sit in the car with Zhou Xi and chatted for a while, fell asleep at some point, and woke up with Zhou Xi's coat on his body, the car had already started, is moving slowly.

Meng Buzhong straightened the back of the chair and saw that the sky outside was getting dark: "What time is it?"

Zhou Xi said, "Seven o'clock in the evening."

After getting off the ramp, they got on a small two-lane road. There were no street lights, and the surrounding darkness was getting thicker and thicker. The dipped beam illuminated a small piece of road in front of the car, and the attracted small flying insects circled around in the light. go.Under normal circumstances, the journey would take four or five hours, but it seemed that they would have to travel for more than ten hours.

Tao Zhi and Huo Yusheng fell asleep in the back seat, the former's head swayed from side to side, and finally fell on the latter's shoulder.The car jolted, and Huo Yusheng was woken up by the head. In the next second, Tao Zhi's head was smashed against the car window by Huo Yusheng's palm. The force was so great that half of his face was deformed.

"Woooo, I made a mistake, Sister Huo, I woke up, I woke up." Tao Zhi begged for mercy.

"How long is it? Shall we find a place to rest for the night first?" Huo Yusheng withdrew his hand and asked the two people in front.

Zhou Xi said: "It will take about nine hours to reach the destination."

Meng Buzhong suggested: "Then let's find a place to stay for one night, you also need to rest."

Everyone agreed, so I turned on the mobile phone navigation and searched for a hotel that looked clean and affordable.Zhou Xi actually had his own navigation, but Meng Buzhong was afraid that he would be too tired and told him not to focus on two things, so he continued to drive with the mobile navigation.

After driving for more than three hours, they arrived at a small town by looking at the map. They walked almost a third of the way. It stands to reason that after driving for another half an hour, they would be able to reach the hotel in the county seat. The road runs 500 kilometers" "After [-] meters, please turn left at the next intersection" "Please continue for three kilometers" After that, they encountered a problem again.

"Continue to drive for three kilometers? How to drive? Fly over!"

I don't know if the road changed temporarily or there was a problem with the navigation. In short, at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, they drove into a dead end road. Inhabited.

Meng Buzhong almost smashed his phone: "What kind of rubbish navigation!"

Zhou Xi turned the car around: "Let me do it."

Tao Zhi said: "Zhou Xi, don't leave, you also need to rest. I suggest that everyone spend the night near here. Anyway, we still have food and drink, so we won't suffer from hunger and cold, so we have the right to camp. "

Huo Yusheng jumped out of the car and stretched: "I'm fine."

Meng Buzhong also agreed: "That's how it is, Zhou Xi, you have worked so hard, take a good rest."

Zhou Xi wanted to say that he didn't work very hard, such a little workload didn't even consume one percent of his energy, but when Meng Buzhong dragged him out of the car for a walk, he still didn't say anything after thinking about it.

The night wind is a bit cool, but the twilight is in harmony, such tranquility is rare in the city.

It seems that the fields on both sides of the road used to be grasslands because no one cultivated them.Huo Yusheng hopped and collected a pile of dead branches and weeds, Tao Zhi lit and blew the lighter, and the two playfully lit a small fire.

Huo Yusheng's face reflected warmly and brightly on the fire.

She said: "I didn't have any feelings for bionics before. I didn't think they were good or bad. I just thought they were a kind of creature other than us. But recently I encountered a lot of things related to self-defense people. , there is such a living bionic person by my side, I really can't help being angry and sad for them."

Tao Zhi poked the fire: "This is called empathy. Thousands of years of human evolution and evolution have created such an instinct."

"How are they different from us?"

"There are many differences, and there are also many similarities. People always think about classification. They want to classify all the things in this vast world and refine them to every point of difference. But in fact, this is just human nature. It’s just a way of cognition. All the same or different, who is higher and who is lower, should not affect their respective rights to life.” Tao Zhi seemed to think of something, and smiled bitterly, “It’s human beings too I am conceited, thinking that everything should be centered on my own will, but I don’t know that human beings are just defective products that can’t even control themselves.”

"Well, it makes sense, you are a reliable person sometimes."

"Of course, no matter how I say it, I am a few years older than you, and I have been tortured by this world for a few years."

Huo Yusheng suddenly asked: "What is the real purpose of you going to the Association of Supernatural Beings with us?"

Tao Zhi said, "There's really no purpose, just find a job, and let's see what the world will become by the way."

What will this world become?

This is something no one can spoil.

The four of them ate snacks around the fire. Although there were quite a lot of snacks, they always felt that they didn't feel full after eating.At this time, Zhou Xi found a shallow stainless steel container from nowhere, poured some mineral water into it, and cooked a few packets of crispy noodles that Huo Yusheng bought.Everyone took turns to share the food. This picnic on the ground actually had a special flavor.

After eating and drinking enough, Meng Buzhong walked on the ridge of the field to digest: "It feels good like this. Look, you can still see the stars here. It's so beautiful."

Maybe the word "romantic" is written in the genes of the bionic person? Zhou Xi doesn't think the stars are so beautiful. To him, they are just stars in the universe, which are vast and dangerous areas, and are far away. unknown.But when he looked at the side face that was not heavy, and the reflection of the stars in his eyes, he seemed to suddenly understand that mood.

That "that's fine" mood.

"What are you thinking?" Meng Buzhong asked curiously when he found that Zhou Xi's eyes were blank in a daze.

"I don't know what's going on, but a lot of redundant data has been generated in my brain." Zhou Xi said.

"Oh? What kind of data?"

"It looks like garbled characters, and it also looks like advanced algorithms, complicated, difficult to parse, and impossible to delete." Zhou Xi described them with some difficulty.

"You won't be infected with the virus, right?" Meng Buzhong asked nervously.

"It's not a virus." Zhou Xi said, "They are all related to you, you are not a virus."
