Little Robot on the Run

"Mr. Silent Communicator."

Nan'an walked in the city for a long time.

Under the red light, those holographic silver heads looked at him, and Nan An walked through them carrying a cloth bag, and arrived at an abandoned convenience store.Because of the robot invasion, the goods are scattered all over the place.

Nan An squatted down, picked through the dirty shelves for a while, and finally found some dry bread, and a bottle of nutrient solution that was only a third left.

He stared at the bottle of nutrient solution for a long time.

The crystal clear liquid swayed gently in his hand, just like the bottle of nutrient solution when he came to the desert.

At that time, he planned to go to the oasis—the photos hanging in the Kepler base were his destination.

but.

Why is he here now?

Nan'an didn't understand, and he didn't understand why there were so many independent robots in the human world. They occupied every building, every iron shed, and even pushed to the white walls full of graffiti, and replaced them with silver bells. projection.

He was confused for a long time, but he didn't know where to go.

After sighing lightly, he bent down and picked up a charging cable with copper wires exposed, as well as a power bank.

These are used to recharge the communicator, as only 20% of the charge is left.

But in fact, for him, this communicator also appeared inexplicably.

In his impression, he didn't know how to take Kepler's communicator, it was a small robot with excellent quality - what was even more puzzling was that there was a name he didn't recognize in the address book.

"Lin Ze..."

Nan An read softly.

For some reason, every time he sees this name, he always feels sour, stuffy in his chest, throat, and spread to his whole body, completely suffocating.

So Nan'an decided not to look at the name.

But just a few minutes later, he lowered his head again and swiped open the lock screen, followed by big tears, which dripped on the screen in strings and fell on Lin Ze's name.

He didn't know what was wrong with him.

But as long as that name appears, he will be very sad.

The robots around were still there, but they were not interested in Nan'an, they just brushed past him.Their chests glow red, and the back of their round, silver heads are engraved with the pattern of silver bells, marching towards the base of the rose.

Sometimes, a few robots would turn their heads to look at him, and Nan'an would always feel scared.

Although I don’t know the reason, subconsciously, many pictures appeared in front of me, long mechanical arms, silver bullets, white smoke... They were like illustrations in a storybook, after being torn off, they fell lightly into the water , and then gradually, gradually sinking until it disappeared.

On the way, Nan'an asked a robot and got the exit location of Sicheng.At the same time, another robot with six robotic arms saw that he was supporting the wall and seemed to be exhausted, so he took the initiative to care for him like a human being, and carried him to the gate of the city.

"Thank you..." Nan'an thanked.

"Dear friend, you don't need to thank you." The robot waved its arm, without the previous stumbling tone, and replied very fluently, "This is what I should do. I hope everything goes well for you in the future."

Nan'an blinked.

He has never seen such a robot, even the tone and tone, are exactly the same as humans.

But it has nothing to do with him.

There are red lights, rain, mechanical vehicles and skyscrapers behind him, and he is leaving.

When he went out, he saw a lot of discarded beetle shells, with their abdomens open to reveal the cockpit.

Nan An bent down a few times, seeing that there were no humans, he climbed in with confidence, and used it as a tool for him to escape from the human world.

The huge trees in the artificial rain forest blocked his vision. He drove for a while, and when he realized it, the sky was no longer raining, and his vision became wider——

An endless desert.

The human city gradually turned into a black spot. At the moment when it finally disappeared, Nan'an turned his head and took a look.

For some reason, he felt sad again.

He knew that he had lost his brain, but he didn't know why—it might have been lost, or put somewhere by him.

As for which place, Nan'an couldn't remember.

Those memories seemed to be full of rust, as if they would be completely eroded in the next moment, and all he could think of was the star lamp.Under the starlight all over the sky, there seemed to be a person with silver eyes, his brows and eyes were cold and cold, but when he looked at him, he was so gentle.

Nan'an's breathing became short of breath.

He hugged his body tightly, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

So, he rushed to the communicator that was charging, gripped the shell tightly, and looked at the name again.

He just looked at it for a long time, the shadow of his eyelashes covered his expression, but from the trembling fingertips, it could be seen that his emotions were still fluctuating violently.

"Lin Ze...Lin Ze..." He whispered a few times, and his eyes turned red again.

Beetles still drive across the wasteland.

I don't know how long it has passed, it seems that after more than a dozen days and nights, accompanied by the notification sound of the communicator being fully charged, another huge shadow approached in front of him.

With just one glance, Nan'an's eyes widened slightly.

He actually... came to a human city again?

Nan'an didn't understand.

He clearly decided to leave the human world, but now it seems that he has returned to the starting point - the artificial rainforest in front of him has collapsed, and not far away, four roses are carved on the outer wall.

Another city of roses.

However, it is not the same as the previous one.

Everything is dilapidated, without the shadow of technology, the buildings are empty, there are occasional unknown mechanical roars, and large billboards are spread all over the ground—like a completely hollowed out empty city.

And just when he turned on the radar and wanted to locate it, a voice appeared in the dark.

It was the ethereal female voice in the dream, word by word, like an apocalypse, echoing in his ears——

"Human beings will eventually be wiped out... just like a face on the sand by the sea."

Nan'an grabbed the communicator in his hand.

Hearing these words, his breathing became short again. The beetle was driving between cities, and the radar showed that it passed one place after another, Luoshan Street, Dashan Street, Triangle Base...

But Nan'an couldn't take care of it anymore, he curled up, buried his head in his knees, and quietly leaned against the bridge.

Until there is a crisp sound.

The beetle was completely silent.

Nan An raised his head and looked at the bridge.

You can see that the power display on the top is zero, and the charging indicator is lit.

Nan'an stared and thought for a while, then came to the conclusion that the beetle needs to be recharged.

This is what human transportation needs. Only when it is charged can it continue to drive, and then take him to the oasis.

With a little force, he opened the hatch.

After walking a few steps forward, a vague sign appeared in front of my eyes. The holographic image was weak, but Nan'an still recognized it. It was the word "Weipu Road".

For some reason, when he saw these three words, he was startled again.

In the memory, something seemed to wake up again, and appeared dimly in his mind.

But what exactly is it...

In a daze, Nan An walked forward for a while, and when he realized it, he was already in a brand new environment, an apartment building for human beings.

He didn't understand why he came here, logically, he couldn't come here.

But everything is so familiar.

The number plate of Room 3025 was hanging on the wall. The small kitchen, single bed, and desk appeared in front of him. Nan An's eyelashes trembled, and then he walked in slowly.

On the side door was written "Family Suite". Nan An looked at it for a few seconds, then turned around and opened the drawer.

Dusty candy, cookies, and chocolate.

And underneath those bags are...

Nan'an stretched out his hand and scratched a few times.

It was an old fairy tale book. After wiping off the dust with his small hands, his eyes fell on the top, and after a long while, he said slowly, "Little Prince?"

Nan'an turned a page curiously.

Immediately afterwards, I couldn't help but "wow", and turned a few more pages.

He was totally caught up in this one story.

The rose, the desert, the little prince, the pilot and the fox.For Nan'an, these are all new and completely untouched.

At this moment, the communicator beside him rang.

Nanan picked it up subconsciously, and saw a message from the common channel, saying that the alarm at the Rose Base had been lifted. Dr. Lin Ze led a team of scientists to synthesize the bionic data of Rose and Yinling to prevent the robot from invading.

Seeing such words, Nan'an's nose was sore, and he wanted to cry again.

He didn't understand such emotions, but he couldn't resolve them, and those dream-like scenes reappeared in front of his eyes, and he refused to leave for a long time.

Nan'an crossed out the information on the public channel.

Now, Lin Ze's communication bar appeared at the top.

He stared at the name for a long time, and then reached out to touch it.

It's just that the moment the fingertips touched, there was a click, and some channel was connected.

Nan'an was flustered for a moment, he subconsciously pressed the emergency communication a few times, and wanted to hang up again, but a female voice heard a successful connection.

Holding the communicator in both hands, his eyes fell on the word "calling".

long silence.

The other party didn't speak, and he didn't dare to say anything.

A few minutes later, Nan'an tentatively asked, "Hello?"

"I don't know who you are." He whispered, looking at the empty surroundings, "But, can you stay with me for a while?"

The other party didn't hang up.

Nan'an became happy.

As a little robot, this is his first contact with a human being, with fear and nervousness.However, it may be because of the silence, it didn't take long for Nan'an to regard the other party as a friend, and called him "Mr. Silent Communicator."

So he stayed in this room for the time being, with this little prince's storybook, and a communicator friend who didn't make a sound.

Occasionally, the roar of the plane and the beep of the radar can be heard, but the next moment, it will become silent again.

Despite this, Nan An still fell in love with "Mr. Communicator".

"Can I read you a story?" Nan'an said slowly into the communicator, "I want...to read "The Little Prince" to you."
