Little Robot on the Run
Chapter 23
triple.
Nan'an could hardly think.
It seemed that everything he did now was a feeble justification. His arm was covered by silver light, and in the hazy light, he could even see the hard texture of steel and wires.
No matter how you look at it, he is very suspicious.
This is not something that Rose City residents should have.
Nan An gasped softly, facing Lin Ze, his body trembling uncontrollably.Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lin Ze say something into the communicator.Then jumped off the windowsill and walked towards him step by step.
This scene is very familiar.
On the previous rainy night, when Nan An came out of the leaking awning and was about to get in the car to go to Jill's house, he saw Lin Ze walking towards him in the same way.
At that time, he was directly defined as a suspect by Lin Ze.
And now it looks like nothing has changed.
As the most intelligent robot at the Kepler base, Nan'an knew that he was destined to reveal his secrets, and he was also destined to be suspected, and then——
What will happen to him.
Will Lin Ze kill him?
Or take him back and hand him over to the police?
Nan An didn't know, at this moment his heart was beating so fast and pounding that he could almost jump out of his chest. He looked at those silver eyes and the reflection of his wide-open eyes in the pupils, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Lin Ze raised his gun.
The pitch-black muzzle was only a few meters away from him.
"boom!"
Suddenly the gunshot rang out——
Nan An was so frightened that he closed his eyes.
Accompanied by the whistling wind, he felt something swiftly brushing through his hair and attacking behind him. Then, the cub's cry came sharply.Nan An was slightly startled, and turned his head to look—seeing that Lin Ze's bullet accurately hit a mutant human who was about to attack the cub.
Immediately afterwards, there were three more bang bang bangs.
Lin Ze fired.
Seeing that Nan'an was still standing there, Lin Ze looked at him and said calmly, "The iron frame on the right is there to respond."
As soon as the words fell, around them—behind those huge generators, four or five vague black figures appeared.Under the neon lights in the distance, Nan'an saw that they were covered in silver with a cold luster.It was a strange mechanical beauty, as if it was a new evolutionary form of human beings.
On the back, eight long and pointed mechanical arms broke through the skin, waving non-stop.On the lower part of the back, close to the tailbone, there are densely populated small mechanical arms, covered with tiny spikes, like the hair of a wild beast that keeps growing outward.
They stopped at a distance of 20 meters.
Like waiting for the last order.
Nan An took another breath, turned his head, and met Lin Ze's eyes.
They didn't say anything more, they had a tacit understanding almost for a moment, or something else, the moment Lin Ze shot, Nan'an ran towards the cub.
With the sound of the generator running, Nan'an withstood two more mutant attacks. He couldn't help the cub as a human, but he could in the form of a robot.
At the same time, gunshots behind him intersected.
Nan'an successfully sent the cub to the iron rack on the right, and saw that the members of the research institute had just arrived.
"Mr. Nan, the rescue vehicle has arrived now." The researcher took the crying cub and said to him, "Dr. Lin asked you to evacuate together."
Nan An was stunned for a few seconds.
This is a perfect escape opportunity.
Now he is only exposed in front of Lin Ze, but other people don't know it, including the cubs, who close their eyes almost the whole time and don't know his true form.
But now Lin Ze is restrained.
There is no time to report to the research institute, nor can he thoroughly investigate his identity—at least there is no chance right now.
So, is he really leaving?
Nan'an knew that this was an excellent opportunity to leave the human city completely.
Although there is no nutrient solution and charging pump, it seems that only by not being controlled can we think about ourselves in the long run.
Picking up rubbish in the desert, or looking for a human like Jill and asking for nutrient solution directly, is safer than his current situation.
Nan An fell into deep thought.
But he doesn't have much time left.
Gunshots continued behind him, and countless generators were shot through by Lin Ze, and together with the shot down mechanical arm, they fell to the ground and made a loud noise.
After a few seconds, Nan'an took a small step back.
He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling constantly, as if he was making a difficult decision, but when he raised his eyes again, there was only firmness in his eyes.
"Take the cub first." Nan'an said to the researcher, "I'm going back to find Lin Ze."
Second floor, platform level.
When Nan'an came back, Lin Ze had disappeared.
But the mechanical arms all over the floor, as well as the powder that formed crystals, all indicated the previous intensity.
Nan'an stepped over a fallen generator and was about to find Lin Ze when he accidentally stepped on something and tripped.
So he looked down.
These are three staggered robotic arms, all with the full Kepler base number, K-186F, written on them.It can be seen from the non-stop falling sparks that it just fell off the mutant human body and fell to the ground.
Each one has a bullet hole thirty centimeters from the tip, which is exactly the same.
Don't think too much, Lin Ze must have fired the shot.
Nan'an bypassed the mechanical arms lying in front of him, stepped on the debris, and walked forward.He stretched his neck to look for Lin Ze, but he didn't find any trace.
So Nan'an decided to start from the nearest generator and search all the way there.
At this time, the rainy day is still there, and everything is covered in fog, making it hard to see clearly.
Nan'an frowned and looked forward, at this moment, he caught a tiny sound - very subtle, almost only a second.
Nan'an stopped.
And the moment he looked back, a mutated researcher suddenly appeared in his field of vision!
Before there was any time to react, the mechanical arm slammed down.
boom!
Silver light instantly enveloped the arms.
Nan'an blocked it with his right hand.
Before the researcher could attack again, Nan An supported the wall and ran to the other side without looking back.Accompanied by the rapid ho ho and mechanical sounds, Nan An gasped a little, as if he was a little exhausted.
Under the neon light, everything became blurred.
All he had was his panting and the beating of his heart.
—until his arm was pulled.
Nan An's center of gravity was unstable, and before he recovered, he was pulled into a warm embrace in an instant.
"Lin Ze?"
"Don't make a sound."
Nan'an nodded. At this moment, he was still panting softly, his whole body was drenched, and he kept trembling.But for some reason, hearing the strong heartbeat of the other party's chest, Nan'an suddenly felt a lot of peace of mind, and gradually calmed down.
He didn't make any more noise, and quietly stuck to Lin Ze, hiding behind the generator.
The mutated researcher approaches.
He kept waving his mechanical arm, as if searching for a target.
Another generator was smashed not far away, and Nan'an trembled slightly.
He seemed a little frightened, his eyes widened helplessly, as if frightened and at a loss what to do.
And at this moment, his hand was suddenly grabbed.
Nan An was slightly stunned, and turned to look at Lin Ze.
Seeing that the other party was expressionless, his eyes fell on the mutated human being not far away.
Lin Ze's fingers were covered with thin calluses. Nan'an didn't know whether it was caused by the experiment or the gun practice.But at this moment, Nan'an couldn't ask Lin Ze, or in other words, there might not be a chance in the future.
Since he chose to come back and face the danger with Lin Ze, he should have thought through these consequences long ago.
The mechanical sound is far away.
Mutant researchers didn't spot them.
Nan'an took a breath, as if he was a little out of strength, then he felt the person behind him let go of his hand, and immediately heard the other party say: "It's safe."
Nan An whispered: "Yes."
The two didn't speak any more, the lights of the modern building behind them were flowing, stretching their shadows very long, and they were still standing, silent.
After a while, Nan'an took a small step forward, turned around obediently, and then stood with his head bowed without saying a word.
He has no way to face Lin Ze, but now he has to face it.
It's strange, this is an extremely contradictory emotion. Nan'an clearly knows what is waiting for him after he comes back to face Lin Ze, but it seems that his subconscious makes him have to come back because he is worried about this fierce human being.
Nan An suddenly felt aggrieved and wanted to cry.
He's just a little robot.
And this emotion didn't last long, when he heard Lin Ze sigh softly.
——Extremely subtle, Nan An even felt that this was an illusion.
Then, I heard him say: "Look up at me."
Nan An heard that his eyelashes trembled, and raised his eyes to look at Lin Ze.
At this time, Nan'an was very obedient, he didn't make a fuss or resist, and just looked at Lin Ze with wide eyes.
He waited to be questioned.
But in the end no.
Lin Ze picked out a half-folded umbrella from the ruins and handed it to Nan'an.
"Don't you need it?" Nan'an asked in a low voice.
"Hold on first." Lin Ze picked out another sharp knife and threw it to Nan'an, "Defense yourself."
Nan An accepted it obediently.
They evacuated from the school all the way, and when they returned to the first floor, both the playground and the security room in front of them became a mess.The sound of the empty wind came in with a blue-purple light, which made Nan An squint his eyes. He looked around and asked, "Where are Ai Li and the others?"
"They've all been evacuated." Lin Ze said, "Just now the security department called, saying that the last one has been resolved and the platform on the second floor is being blocked."
Nan'an nodded and didn't speak any more.
At this moment, he heard Lin Ze say lightly: "Do you know why I brought you here?"
Nan'an shook his head.
"Everything here is damaged, including the monitoring." Lin Ze said lightly, "The blockade from the second floor to the first floor will take time. All the researchers, except for the evacuated ones, are on standby in the geography classroom on the ninth floor."
Nan An bit her lower lip.
This has been made very clear.
Lin Ze was waiting for him to confess everything. There was nothing here, not even the surveillance and police officers.
Beside the ruins, there were only the two of them. No matter what he said, Lin Ze had the absolute right to dispose of it.
He finally made a choice with room for retention.
Nan An didn't know what mood he was in. He looked into those silver eyes, bit his lower lip, and didn't speak for a long time.Time seemed to have passed for a long time, but it didn't seem like it was, and finally he said softly: "I am not a resident of Yinling."
As soon as the voice fell, Lin Ze frowned.
Nan'an bit the bullet and continued to add: "I'm from the second city of Rose."
"Second city residents?"
"Yes." Nan'an tried hard to calm himself down. He looked at Lin Ze and said with a pause, "I met a human in the desert, and he said that by implanting a mechanical arm, you can gain powerful power... ..."
"He told me that Rose City can't use such a thing, but Yinling can." Nan'an continued to bite his lip, and said slowly, "So, I violated the regulations and implanted their mechanical arm, and it can Free transformation. After that, I met Jill and came here with him..."
Saying this, Nan An's eyes turned red again.
Lie to Lin Ze made him very sad.
But he had to.
Nan'an believes that in the near future, when human society returns to normal and he has saved enough nutrient solution and charging pump, Lin Ze will know his identity.
At that time, he hoped that Lin Ze would not be angry and not go to the south to catch him back.
"The address of Rose Two City?" Lin Ze asked.
"Shangshuilongtang."
Lin Ze didn't say anything more.
Nan An just looked at him with a frown.
He didn't know if there were any loopholes in what he just said, but it was obvious now that the information of the institute was not transparent.
Just like what Lin Ze said before, the police department will not take the initiative to give the information to the research institute, and when he joined the job, it was Ellie who took over. Lin Ze didn't even know that his ID showed the city of Rose II.
After a few seconds, I heard Lin Ze say: "Risk screening."
Nan An lowered his eyes and nodded.
"The Institute has no time today, and Professor Biddle's assistant was attacked." Lin Ze said, "I will take you for a screening tomorrow morning to thoroughly find out the type of implant you have."
Nan'an responded again.
They walked on without speaking again.
Nan'an knew that Lin Ze was protecting him.
But, but—he was still sad.
Because he deceived the humans in front of him, even though he didn't mean to.
They returned to the residence.
The familiar lights came on, and the stars dotted the whole room, soft and warm.
Nan An obediently entered the door, put the worn-out umbrella into the bucket, and then obediently stood aside.He saw Lin Ze answering the phone outside the door, talking about the news that the school was temporarily closed, and that the chip screening would be stepped up tomorrow.
After the phone call ended, Lin Ze entered the house.
"From now on, I will always be by your side." Lin Ze said, "You can continue to work in the institute until the chip screening is over and all indicators are normal."
"Then today's attack..."
"Biddle will help me deal with it and connect with the police."
Lin Ze's tone didn't fluctuate much, it was the same as usual, but Nan'an still felt uneasy - because his rhetoric didn't hold water at all.
In a daze, Lin Ze threw a towel to him: "Wipe off the water droplets on your face."
Nan'an obeyed obediently.
The texture of the towel is soft. Nan An likes all soft things, so he couldn't help but wipe it for a while, and when he looked up again, he saw that Lin Ze had disappeared.
He poked his head out of the door, stretched his neck and looked around, but still couldn't find Lin Ze.
Nan An frowned suspiciously.
But he didn't dare to go out, as if today's fierce human beings can obediently do whatever they say.So he sat back on the bed, stared at the screen for a few seconds, and finally pressed the remote to turn on the TV.
"The following is an urgent news. A chip mutation occurred in a restaurant in the center of the shopping mall, causing three deaths and 15 injuries. The research institute has sent a team of experts and the cause is under investigation."
Nan An watched it for a few seconds, then changed the channel.
"A chip mutation occurred at a construction site in the southwest of the Four Rose Cities—"
"Let's connect urgently to the scene of the attack at the school." "Hello, what is the status of the attack at the subway station now? Are there any injuries?"
Overwhelming reports.
Almost every station, every screen is infected with various chips.
Nan An opened his eyes slightly. He hugged the pillow and stared blankly at the overwhelming reports. His mind went blank—until there was a movement around him.
He turned his head and saw Lin Ze brought over a tray with two bowls of pasta on it. The slender noodles were covered with poached eggs and two vegetable leaves.
"This is..." Nan An crossed the half-person high screen, glanced at it and said in surprise, "Dinner prepared for me?"
Lin Ze didn't answer him.
So Nan An hugged the pillow, ran over obediently, and then sat obediently in front of his own share.
He is really hungry.
What happened today made him exhausted. Whether he encountered danger or was suspected by Lin Ze later, he didn't have any energy to think about what to do in tomorrow's inspection.
However, fierce humans can cook?
Nan'an didn't expect this, he thought that Lin Ze would only eat cold bread.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the type who can keep a house.
But it doesn't matter now to think about why this human being cooks.
Because from just now, his face was frozen, which made Nan'an have the illusion that the identity of the robot had been exposed.
"What's wrong?" Lin Ze looked at him.
"It's nothing."
Nan An replied in a low voice, and then continued to look at him.
Lin Ze put down his chopsticks and glanced at him: "If you don't eat it, take it."
Nan'an quickly waved his little hand and started to gobble it up.
The TV on the side was still broadcasting, the sound of old electric current was filling, and the suspended trains passed by one by one outside the window, bringing dazzling light-everything formed a very magical picture.
An opposing human scientist would share a room with a suspected robot, eat together, and sleep together.
After a few seconds, Nan An put down his chopsticks.
Lin Ze: "What's wrong?"
Nan An shook his head, as if hesitating for something, and finally said: "When will the examination be done tomorrow?"
"Eight o'clock in the morning." Lin Ze said lightly, "The assistant in charge of the inspection has just left Rose Two City and is expected to be here at 07:30 in the morning."
Nanan let out an "oh".
He hesitated a bit, but finally said nothing.
But Lin Ze seemed to know what he was thinking. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Nan'an.
"I said that I will not let go of any risk." His tone was still very light, "I believe you now, just based on the current judgment."
"Yes." Nan'an said softly, "Thank you."
"You don't need to talk about this." Lin Ze said, "Everything is subject to tomorrow's inspection results."
This is very clear. Nan'an knows that this is Lin Ze's responsibility. As the highest-level scientist in Rose City, he must eliminate all risks—especially in the current scene where chip infections are frequent, he needs more cautious.
It's not his fault.
Nan An thinks so.
So his mood adjusted a little according to this thought, and he even thought about the countermeasure for tomorrow.
If his identity is revealed tomorrow, he will directly transform into the form of a robot, and then completely stay away from this human city.
But before that, he needs to leave a message to Lin Ze and tell him that what the Kepler base wants now is an artificial intelligence brain, and this high probability exists in the package he sent.
Nan'an wrote this letter while Lin Ze was washing up.
There was no extra paper around him, so he found an old and yellowed photo from the cabinet, with a faded starry sky on the front, so Nan An wrote these on the back side by stroke, crookedly.
There are still a few words that I can't remember.
I wrote pinyin.
When he finished writing, he drew a little star and wrote "Nan An Liu".
Everything is ready.
Nan'an put it on the bottom shelf of the drawer.
This is where he keeps his backpack.
At present, it seems that this is the safest place. Lin Ze usually does not open that drawer too much. If it is really exposed, then Lin Ze will naturally see this letter.
Footsteps sounded in the hallway.
Nan An quickly closed the drawer, got on the bed quickly, and got under the covers.The rough texture rubbed his fair cheeks red, Nan An opened his eyes wide, his small face was hidden in the quilt, and he looked at Lin Ze without saying a word.
After a few seconds, he hummed twice, as if he was sleepy, so he turned over.
At this moment, he heard a soft power button - Lin Ze sat down beside him and turned on the computer.
The sound of typing was heard.
Now Nan'an is not sleepy anymore, it seems that listening to this, all the things that happened tonight resurfaced in front of his eyes.He didn't know how many people were killed or injured tonight, which was not so important to him, or most of the residents of Rose City.
What they have to do now is to find the source of the infection as soon as possible and find out the cause.
Thinking of this, Nan An couldn't help asking: "Who is the one who mutated today?"
"The security guard on duty." Lin Ze replied.
"Is it because of the implantation of a chip that can mutate?"
Lin Ze shook his head: "No."
Nan An was slightly taken aback.
"We checked all his records, including the model of each fingertip on the robotic palm." Lin Ze said, "There is no sign that he will mutate."
Nan'an heard about it and began to think: "Could it be other reasons?"
As soon as these words came out, he suddenly thought of Jill.
Jill didn't have any chips implanted at all, but got infected.
Could it be that……
Nan'an looked at Lin Ze.
As if responding to his questioning, Lin Ze said: "There is indeed a wound."
His slender fingertips rested on the keyboard, and his eyes fell on the screen: "The research institute gave feedback just now and found that there are obvious scars on his body, starting from the right shoulder blade and directly penetrating the sternum."
It's the shoulders again.
"If you look at it this way, is it also because of the injury, the wound caused the infection?"
"It's possible."
Nan'an fell into thought.
He doesn't understand the purpose of the Kepler base, just like understanding why humans continue to study technology, it is obvious that all chips can be completely shut down without any research.
If this is the case, wouldn't human society—at least the residents of Rose City—be safe?
For a little robot like him, it was really beyond the scope of his cognition.
but.
Now there is a more serious problem.
He fell asleep.
It may be that he was thinking too seriously just now, or other reasons. In short, he, a robot, lost sleep on what might be his last night in the human world.
Nan'an was deeply incomprehensible.
He bowed and bulged the quilt into a ball, and tossed and turned several times, his soft hair was messed up, but he still couldn't fall asleep.
So he grabbed the corner of the quilt with both hands, frowned tightly, and tried hard to fall asleep.
Lin Ze next to him was still working, and the crisp sound of typing on the keyboard came from time to time, accompanied by the occasional sound of the door opening—sometimes he would leave, go out with a communicator, and talk to other departments, like some kind of bionic person, electronic Intellectual terms.
Nan'an can't take care of so much anymore.
He is very sleepy.
But can't sleep.
But he must rest. If he can’t sleep like a human, he will also be tired. It can even be said that the human behavior of sleeping has become very important without knowing it—only for the nutrient solution and the charging pump.
If something happened tomorrow, he wouldn't be able to switch forms freely, transforming between robot and human.
This made Nan'an feel a little flustered.
So he worked harder to fall asleep, his small brows were frowned into Chuan characters, and he clutched the corner of the quilt tightly, trying to fall asleep.
But still to no avail.
The harder you try, the harder it is to fall asleep.
Nan'an felt like crying, and hearing occupied all his senses at this moment. He heard the beeping of the communicator, the sound of Lin Ze opening the door, and the rubbing sound of going to the bed to change clothes.
- It's over.
Even Lin Ze, a workaholic, is going to sleep.
He is not asleep yet.
Nan'an arched to the right, and was about to curl up and wrap into a smaller ball when he heard Lin Ze turn on the computer again.
Nan'an: "?"
He waited for a while without hearing the corresponding typing sound.
As usual, as long as Lin Ze turns on the computer, it will always be accompanied by the beeping sound of the communicator and crisp keyboard tapping.
But today, none of that.
So Nan'an quietly turned back, he closed his eyes, pretending to be in deep sleep, and then opened them a little.
Lin Ze's slender fingertips appeared in the field of vision.
At this time, he lightly touched the sensor button, as if he was browsing some page.
But Nan'an couldn't see it.
After thinking for a while, just when Nan'an was about to give up and continue to struggle with insomnia, a soft and melodious music came.
Nan An was slightly taken aback.
It was a soft tune, as if it contained the entire universe, ethereal but tactful.
Nan'an didn't know why Lin Ze played the music suddenly, but before he recovered, a gentle female voice came, with a soft bass, as if telling some story.
"Maybe there are five thousand flowers exactly like you in the world, but only you are my unique rose."
"Time soothes all sorrows, but when your sorrows have been soothed, you will be satisfied that you have known me."
……
Just a few words, Nan An was completely stunned.
If it was just music, he could still temporarily believe that Lin Ze played it because he wanted to hear it.
But now the little prince is completely for him.
It turned out that Lin Ze had already discovered that he couldn't fall asleep.
In fact, think about it, nothing can escape his eyes.
If he wasn't the most intelligent robot with the same limbs and appearance as a human, Lin Ze might have exposed him instantly.
I am sorry.
Nan'an repeated it in his heart many times.
At this time, the gentle female voice is still continuing, and together with the stars projected by the lampshade, they merge together to form a new dream in Nan'an.
This is a very strange emotion. If it was the same as before, he would have happily shouted "Yeah" and then fell asleep contentedly.
But today, he didn't seem to want to fall asleep easily.
Tomorrow will decide his fate, whether to completely expose the identity of the robot, or continue to work for this villain in the research institute in human society.
Everything is unknown.
However, at the moment when Nan'an fell into a deep sleep, he still believed that no matter what the result was, Lin Ze, a human being, might temporarily surpass the status of biscuits.
He will miss it all.
Nan An thought so.
Such a calm mood lasted until the next day. When Nan An entered the institute and saw Ellie and Professor Biddle, he also had a very calm expression.
Seeing Ellie's worried eyes, Nan'an knew that she already knew.
So Nan An shook his head, smiled and comforted him and said, "It's okay, Sister Ai Li."
Then, he said sorry again in his heart.
finished.He walked towards the other side of the corridor, which was the direction of the screening room. The institute was the same as before, with clean and tidy corridors and a strong smell of disinfectant.While carefully observing the surrounding environment, Nan'an followed the leading researcher.
He wants to find more ways to escape before being exposed.
It's not a so-called rebellion, because he didn't do anything bad at all.
Everything - it was given to him by the Kepler base.
He's just a little robot.
There were only Lin Ze and another researcher in the screening room. Nanan saw that the name tag on the white coat read "Flo", Professor Biddle's new assistant.
He has soft brown hair and curved eyebrows. Even though both arms were replaced with cold mechanical arms, he still smiled when he saw Nan An enter the door.
So Nan An also smiled at him.
"Hello, I'm the researcher in charge of this screening, my name is Flo," he said.
Nan'an responded: "Hello."
After finishing speaking, he subconsciously looked at Lin Ze, and saw that the other party's eyes just fell on him.
They stared at each other for a few more seconds.
"Next, I need to explain the screening project to you." Flo picked up the tablet and tapped it with his fingertips, "Including robotic arm screening, chip detection, brain wave monitoring, full-body scanning, and human index value testing." Wait, it will take about three hours, and Dr. Lin Ze and I will accompany you all the way, and you can go back after the inspection is correct." Nan'an couldn't understand these terms.
But judging from these words, he probably couldn't escape the monitoring methods of Rose City.
In fact, he was originally a robot.
It was just a panic to Lin Ze.
Nan'an walked into the testing room.
The door was closed immediately, and Flo walked into the monitoring room on the other side, and began to check one by one.
The sound of beeping.
Lin Ze stood not far away, looking at Nan'an who was being scanned through the glass, without any emotion in his eyes.It wasn't until Ellie pushed the door open that he turned his head and glanced indifferently.
"Is there a result?" Allie asked.
Lin Ze: "There is still an hour."
Allie sighed.
"I know that you kept Nan'an by your side in order to avoid risks." Ellie said, "But you can't bet all on your position. You must know that the police department has informed the two of you about his refusal to check the backpack yesterday." City, Nan'an must be imprisoned and then investigated, this is an indisputable fact, even if you stand in front, it will not help..."
Before Ellie finished speaking, Lin Ze interrupted: "I have my own plan."
Ellie was slightly taken aback.
She didn't say anything more, and after walking a few steps forward, her eyes fell on Nan'an, and her eyes were full of worry.After a few seconds, she murmured, "What if it turns out that Nan'an is not a resident of Rose City?"
Lin Ze said nothing.
"Now we are the only ones who know." Allie said, "But the test result is not what you expected, so..."
"I'll handle it."
"All the consequences will be borne by me." Lin Ze added, "I will truthfully report the inspection results of Nan'an."
Ellie was taken aback again.
Looking at Lin Ze in front of him, he smiled helplessly for a long while: "You are still you, you have been a colleague for so many years, nothing has changed."
Ellie didn't say anything, and stood beside Lin Ze.
At this time, Professor Biddle also came over.He is still a combination of white beard and white coat, but this time his pockets are fuller, filled with cookies and candies, as if for someone.
……
Screening room.
Nan'an seemed to have another dream.
Those scanning red and green lights reflected in his eyes, scanning layer by layer, just like the inspection done by the Kepler base.Accompanied by the sound of Didi and occasional instructions from Flo, Nan'an seemed to have returned to the base - where he seemed to have undergone such an inspection, countless circles of light swirled on his body, and the researchers around him whispered, saying " Phrases such as bionics.
—Bionics?
Nan An blinked blankly.
It seems that last night, when he couldn't sleep, he heard Lin Ze say this word too.
What exactly does it mean...
Nan'an fell into thought.
In a daze, the white halo on his body faded, and then the previous lights were restored in the screening room—it seemed that it was over.
Flo took off his earphones and got up from the glass room on the other side. He didn't let Nan An sit up, but frowned slightly, made a communication call directly, and said something to Lin Ze.
Nan'an's heartbeat quickened.
But he still tried to stay calm, because the wires and stickers that were attached to him were not removed.
Time seems to have passed for a long time.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lin Ze and Biddle walking beside Flo, discussing something.
But Nan'an couldn't hear these, because the glass in the screening room was too thick, as if it was made of some kind of material, and it was completely soundproof.
So he became even more nervous.
He tested it carefully with his fingertips, and saw an almost imperceptible silver light.
In this way, he still has the ability of a robot.
After deliberating for a few seconds, Nan'an decided to flee.
He quietly took off the patch on his chest, the bandages wrapped around his limbs, and the wires on his head, and got up quietly—but in just a second, he saw Lin Ze open the door and walk towards him.
Nan An shrank back subconsciously.
He looked at Lin Ze, and before he had time to say anything, he saw Lin Ze completely display the report he had just printed out in front of his eyes.
With just one glance, Nan An's eyes widened in disbelief.
——The report showed that it was actually a human being.
Except for the mechanical arm that perfectly fits his lies, there is no brain or chip, nothing at all.
How is this possible?
The author says:
Thanks for reading, the next chapter will reveal a little bit about An'an's cyberspace design——
After V is also the ninth watch in the evening, on the sixth day of the day, I want to make sure I don’t get fat =w= In the past few days, An’an will come to give out small red envelopes for comments, eh?
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Nan'an could hardly think.
It seemed that everything he did now was a feeble justification. His arm was covered by silver light, and in the hazy light, he could even see the hard texture of steel and wires.
No matter how you look at it, he is very suspicious.
This is not something that Rose City residents should have.
Nan An gasped softly, facing Lin Ze, his body trembling uncontrollably.Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lin Ze say something into the communicator.Then jumped off the windowsill and walked towards him step by step.
This scene is very familiar.
On the previous rainy night, when Nan An came out of the leaking awning and was about to get in the car to go to Jill's house, he saw Lin Ze walking towards him in the same way.
At that time, he was directly defined as a suspect by Lin Ze.
And now it looks like nothing has changed.
As the most intelligent robot at the Kepler base, Nan'an knew that he was destined to reveal his secrets, and he was also destined to be suspected, and then——
What will happen to him.
Will Lin Ze kill him?
Or take him back and hand him over to the police?
Nan An didn't know, at this moment his heart was beating so fast and pounding that he could almost jump out of his chest. He looked at those silver eyes and the reflection of his wide-open eyes in the pupils, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Lin Ze raised his gun.
The pitch-black muzzle was only a few meters away from him.
"boom!"
Suddenly the gunshot rang out——
Nan An was so frightened that he closed his eyes.
Accompanied by the whistling wind, he felt something swiftly brushing through his hair and attacking behind him. Then, the cub's cry came sharply.Nan An was slightly startled, and turned his head to look—seeing that Lin Ze's bullet accurately hit a mutant human who was about to attack the cub.
Immediately afterwards, there were three more bang bang bangs.
Lin Ze fired.
Seeing that Nan'an was still standing there, Lin Ze looked at him and said calmly, "The iron frame on the right is there to respond."
As soon as the words fell, around them—behind those huge generators, four or five vague black figures appeared.Under the neon lights in the distance, Nan'an saw that they were covered in silver with a cold luster.It was a strange mechanical beauty, as if it was a new evolutionary form of human beings.
On the back, eight long and pointed mechanical arms broke through the skin, waving non-stop.On the lower part of the back, close to the tailbone, there are densely populated small mechanical arms, covered with tiny spikes, like the hair of a wild beast that keeps growing outward.
They stopped at a distance of 20 meters.
Like waiting for the last order.
Nan An took another breath, turned his head, and met Lin Ze's eyes.
They didn't say anything more, they had a tacit understanding almost for a moment, or something else, the moment Lin Ze shot, Nan'an ran towards the cub.
With the sound of the generator running, Nan'an withstood two more mutant attacks. He couldn't help the cub as a human, but he could in the form of a robot.
At the same time, gunshots behind him intersected.
Nan'an successfully sent the cub to the iron rack on the right, and saw that the members of the research institute had just arrived.
"Mr. Nan, the rescue vehicle has arrived now." The researcher took the crying cub and said to him, "Dr. Lin asked you to evacuate together."
Nan An was stunned for a few seconds.
This is a perfect escape opportunity.
Now he is only exposed in front of Lin Ze, but other people don't know it, including the cubs, who close their eyes almost the whole time and don't know his true form.
But now Lin Ze is restrained.
There is no time to report to the research institute, nor can he thoroughly investigate his identity—at least there is no chance right now.
So, is he really leaving?
Nan'an knew that this was an excellent opportunity to leave the human city completely.
Although there is no nutrient solution and charging pump, it seems that only by not being controlled can we think about ourselves in the long run.
Picking up rubbish in the desert, or looking for a human like Jill and asking for nutrient solution directly, is safer than his current situation.
Nan An fell into deep thought.
But he doesn't have much time left.
Gunshots continued behind him, and countless generators were shot through by Lin Ze, and together with the shot down mechanical arm, they fell to the ground and made a loud noise.
After a few seconds, Nan'an took a small step back.
He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling constantly, as if he was making a difficult decision, but when he raised his eyes again, there was only firmness in his eyes.
"Take the cub first." Nan'an said to the researcher, "I'm going back to find Lin Ze."
Second floor, platform level.
When Nan'an came back, Lin Ze had disappeared.
But the mechanical arms all over the floor, as well as the powder that formed crystals, all indicated the previous intensity.
Nan'an stepped over a fallen generator and was about to find Lin Ze when he accidentally stepped on something and tripped.
So he looked down.
These are three staggered robotic arms, all with the full Kepler base number, K-186F, written on them.It can be seen from the non-stop falling sparks that it just fell off the mutant human body and fell to the ground.
Each one has a bullet hole thirty centimeters from the tip, which is exactly the same.
Don't think too much, Lin Ze must have fired the shot.
Nan'an bypassed the mechanical arms lying in front of him, stepped on the debris, and walked forward.He stretched his neck to look for Lin Ze, but he didn't find any trace.
So Nan'an decided to start from the nearest generator and search all the way there.
At this time, the rainy day is still there, and everything is covered in fog, making it hard to see clearly.
Nan'an frowned and looked forward, at this moment, he caught a tiny sound - very subtle, almost only a second.
Nan'an stopped.
And the moment he looked back, a mutated researcher suddenly appeared in his field of vision!
Before there was any time to react, the mechanical arm slammed down.
boom!
Silver light instantly enveloped the arms.
Nan'an blocked it with his right hand.
Before the researcher could attack again, Nan An supported the wall and ran to the other side without looking back.Accompanied by the rapid ho ho and mechanical sounds, Nan An gasped a little, as if he was a little exhausted.
Under the neon light, everything became blurred.
All he had was his panting and the beating of his heart.
—until his arm was pulled.
Nan An's center of gravity was unstable, and before he recovered, he was pulled into a warm embrace in an instant.
"Lin Ze?"
"Don't make a sound."
Nan'an nodded. At this moment, he was still panting softly, his whole body was drenched, and he kept trembling.But for some reason, hearing the strong heartbeat of the other party's chest, Nan'an suddenly felt a lot of peace of mind, and gradually calmed down.
He didn't make any more noise, and quietly stuck to Lin Ze, hiding behind the generator.
The mutated researcher approaches.
He kept waving his mechanical arm, as if searching for a target.
Another generator was smashed not far away, and Nan'an trembled slightly.
He seemed a little frightened, his eyes widened helplessly, as if frightened and at a loss what to do.
And at this moment, his hand was suddenly grabbed.
Nan An was slightly stunned, and turned to look at Lin Ze.
Seeing that the other party was expressionless, his eyes fell on the mutated human being not far away.
Lin Ze's fingers were covered with thin calluses. Nan'an didn't know whether it was caused by the experiment or the gun practice.But at this moment, Nan'an couldn't ask Lin Ze, or in other words, there might not be a chance in the future.
Since he chose to come back and face the danger with Lin Ze, he should have thought through these consequences long ago.
The mechanical sound is far away.
Mutant researchers didn't spot them.
Nan'an took a breath, as if he was a little out of strength, then he felt the person behind him let go of his hand, and immediately heard the other party say: "It's safe."
Nan An whispered: "Yes."
The two didn't speak any more, the lights of the modern building behind them were flowing, stretching their shadows very long, and they were still standing, silent.
After a while, Nan'an took a small step forward, turned around obediently, and then stood with his head bowed without saying a word.
He has no way to face Lin Ze, but now he has to face it.
It's strange, this is an extremely contradictory emotion. Nan'an clearly knows what is waiting for him after he comes back to face Lin Ze, but it seems that his subconscious makes him have to come back because he is worried about this fierce human being.
Nan An suddenly felt aggrieved and wanted to cry.
He's just a little robot.
And this emotion didn't last long, when he heard Lin Ze sigh softly.
——Extremely subtle, Nan An even felt that this was an illusion.
Then, I heard him say: "Look up at me."
Nan An heard that his eyelashes trembled, and raised his eyes to look at Lin Ze.
At this time, Nan'an was very obedient, he didn't make a fuss or resist, and just looked at Lin Ze with wide eyes.
He waited to be questioned.
But in the end no.
Lin Ze picked out a half-folded umbrella from the ruins and handed it to Nan'an.
"Don't you need it?" Nan'an asked in a low voice.
"Hold on first." Lin Ze picked out another sharp knife and threw it to Nan'an, "Defense yourself."
Nan An accepted it obediently.
They evacuated from the school all the way, and when they returned to the first floor, both the playground and the security room in front of them became a mess.The sound of the empty wind came in with a blue-purple light, which made Nan An squint his eyes. He looked around and asked, "Where are Ai Li and the others?"
"They've all been evacuated." Lin Ze said, "Just now the security department called, saying that the last one has been resolved and the platform on the second floor is being blocked."
Nan'an nodded and didn't speak any more.
At this moment, he heard Lin Ze say lightly: "Do you know why I brought you here?"
Nan'an shook his head.
"Everything here is damaged, including the monitoring." Lin Ze said lightly, "The blockade from the second floor to the first floor will take time. All the researchers, except for the evacuated ones, are on standby in the geography classroom on the ninth floor."
Nan An bit her lower lip.
This has been made very clear.
Lin Ze was waiting for him to confess everything. There was nothing here, not even the surveillance and police officers.
Beside the ruins, there were only the two of them. No matter what he said, Lin Ze had the absolute right to dispose of it.
He finally made a choice with room for retention.
Nan An didn't know what mood he was in. He looked into those silver eyes, bit his lower lip, and didn't speak for a long time.Time seemed to have passed for a long time, but it didn't seem like it was, and finally he said softly: "I am not a resident of Yinling."
As soon as the voice fell, Lin Ze frowned.
Nan'an bit the bullet and continued to add: "I'm from the second city of Rose."
"Second city residents?"
"Yes." Nan'an tried hard to calm himself down. He looked at Lin Ze and said with a pause, "I met a human in the desert, and he said that by implanting a mechanical arm, you can gain powerful power... ..."
"He told me that Rose City can't use such a thing, but Yinling can." Nan'an continued to bite his lip, and said slowly, "So, I violated the regulations and implanted their mechanical arm, and it can Free transformation. After that, I met Jill and came here with him..."
Saying this, Nan An's eyes turned red again.
Lie to Lin Ze made him very sad.
But he had to.
Nan'an believes that in the near future, when human society returns to normal and he has saved enough nutrient solution and charging pump, Lin Ze will know his identity.
At that time, he hoped that Lin Ze would not be angry and not go to the south to catch him back.
"The address of Rose Two City?" Lin Ze asked.
"Shangshuilongtang."
Lin Ze didn't say anything more.
Nan An just looked at him with a frown.
He didn't know if there were any loopholes in what he just said, but it was obvious now that the information of the institute was not transparent.
Just like what Lin Ze said before, the police department will not take the initiative to give the information to the research institute, and when he joined the job, it was Ellie who took over. Lin Ze didn't even know that his ID showed the city of Rose II.
After a few seconds, I heard Lin Ze say: "Risk screening."
Nan An lowered his eyes and nodded.
"The Institute has no time today, and Professor Biddle's assistant was attacked." Lin Ze said, "I will take you for a screening tomorrow morning to thoroughly find out the type of implant you have."
Nan'an responded again.
They walked on without speaking again.
Nan'an knew that Lin Ze was protecting him.
But, but—he was still sad.
Because he deceived the humans in front of him, even though he didn't mean to.
They returned to the residence.
The familiar lights came on, and the stars dotted the whole room, soft and warm.
Nan An obediently entered the door, put the worn-out umbrella into the bucket, and then obediently stood aside.He saw Lin Ze answering the phone outside the door, talking about the news that the school was temporarily closed, and that the chip screening would be stepped up tomorrow.
After the phone call ended, Lin Ze entered the house.
"From now on, I will always be by your side." Lin Ze said, "You can continue to work in the institute until the chip screening is over and all indicators are normal."
"Then today's attack..."
"Biddle will help me deal with it and connect with the police."
Lin Ze's tone didn't fluctuate much, it was the same as usual, but Nan'an still felt uneasy - because his rhetoric didn't hold water at all.
In a daze, Lin Ze threw a towel to him: "Wipe off the water droplets on your face."
Nan'an obeyed obediently.
The texture of the towel is soft. Nan An likes all soft things, so he couldn't help but wipe it for a while, and when he looked up again, he saw that Lin Ze had disappeared.
He poked his head out of the door, stretched his neck and looked around, but still couldn't find Lin Ze.
Nan An frowned suspiciously.
But he didn't dare to go out, as if today's fierce human beings can obediently do whatever they say.So he sat back on the bed, stared at the screen for a few seconds, and finally pressed the remote to turn on the TV.
"The following is an urgent news. A chip mutation occurred in a restaurant in the center of the shopping mall, causing three deaths and 15 injuries. The research institute has sent a team of experts and the cause is under investigation."
Nan An watched it for a few seconds, then changed the channel.
"A chip mutation occurred at a construction site in the southwest of the Four Rose Cities—"
"Let's connect urgently to the scene of the attack at the school." "Hello, what is the status of the attack at the subway station now? Are there any injuries?"
Overwhelming reports.
Almost every station, every screen is infected with various chips.
Nan An opened his eyes slightly. He hugged the pillow and stared blankly at the overwhelming reports. His mind went blank—until there was a movement around him.
He turned his head and saw Lin Ze brought over a tray with two bowls of pasta on it. The slender noodles were covered with poached eggs and two vegetable leaves.
"This is..." Nan An crossed the half-person high screen, glanced at it and said in surprise, "Dinner prepared for me?"
Lin Ze didn't answer him.
So Nan An hugged the pillow, ran over obediently, and then sat obediently in front of his own share.
He is really hungry.
What happened today made him exhausted. Whether he encountered danger or was suspected by Lin Ze later, he didn't have any energy to think about what to do in tomorrow's inspection.
However, fierce humans can cook?
Nan'an didn't expect this, he thought that Lin Ze would only eat cold bread.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the type who can keep a house.
But it doesn't matter now to think about why this human being cooks.
Because from just now, his face was frozen, which made Nan'an have the illusion that the identity of the robot had been exposed.
"What's wrong?" Lin Ze looked at him.
"It's nothing."
Nan An replied in a low voice, and then continued to look at him.
Lin Ze put down his chopsticks and glanced at him: "If you don't eat it, take it."
Nan'an quickly waved his little hand and started to gobble it up.
The TV on the side was still broadcasting, the sound of old electric current was filling, and the suspended trains passed by one by one outside the window, bringing dazzling light-everything formed a very magical picture.
An opposing human scientist would share a room with a suspected robot, eat together, and sleep together.
After a few seconds, Nan An put down his chopsticks.
Lin Ze: "What's wrong?"
Nan An shook his head, as if hesitating for something, and finally said: "When will the examination be done tomorrow?"
"Eight o'clock in the morning." Lin Ze said lightly, "The assistant in charge of the inspection has just left Rose Two City and is expected to be here at 07:30 in the morning."
Nanan let out an "oh".
He hesitated a bit, but finally said nothing.
But Lin Ze seemed to know what he was thinking. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Nan'an.
"I said that I will not let go of any risk." His tone was still very light, "I believe you now, just based on the current judgment."
"Yes." Nan'an said softly, "Thank you."
"You don't need to talk about this." Lin Ze said, "Everything is subject to tomorrow's inspection results."
This is very clear. Nan'an knows that this is Lin Ze's responsibility. As the highest-level scientist in Rose City, he must eliminate all risks—especially in the current scene where chip infections are frequent, he needs more cautious.
It's not his fault.
Nan An thinks so.
So his mood adjusted a little according to this thought, and he even thought about the countermeasure for tomorrow.
If his identity is revealed tomorrow, he will directly transform into the form of a robot, and then completely stay away from this human city.
But before that, he needs to leave a message to Lin Ze and tell him that what the Kepler base wants now is an artificial intelligence brain, and this high probability exists in the package he sent.
Nan'an wrote this letter while Lin Ze was washing up.
There was no extra paper around him, so he found an old and yellowed photo from the cabinet, with a faded starry sky on the front, so Nan An wrote these on the back side by stroke, crookedly.
There are still a few words that I can't remember.
I wrote pinyin.
When he finished writing, he drew a little star and wrote "Nan An Liu".
Everything is ready.
Nan'an put it on the bottom shelf of the drawer.
This is where he keeps his backpack.
At present, it seems that this is the safest place. Lin Ze usually does not open that drawer too much. If it is really exposed, then Lin Ze will naturally see this letter.
Footsteps sounded in the hallway.
Nan An quickly closed the drawer, got on the bed quickly, and got under the covers.The rough texture rubbed his fair cheeks red, Nan An opened his eyes wide, his small face was hidden in the quilt, and he looked at Lin Ze without saying a word.
After a few seconds, he hummed twice, as if he was sleepy, so he turned over.
At this moment, he heard a soft power button - Lin Ze sat down beside him and turned on the computer.
The sound of typing was heard.
Now Nan'an is not sleepy anymore, it seems that listening to this, all the things that happened tonight resurfaced in front of his eyes.He didn't know how many people were killed or injured tonight, which was not so important to him, or most of the residents of Rose City.
What they have to do now is to find the source of the infection as soon as possible and find out the cause.
Thinking of this, Nan An couldn't help asking: "Who is the one who mutated today?"
"The security guard on duty." Lin Ze replied.
"Is it because of the implantation of a chip that can mutate?"
Lin Ze shook his head: "No."
Nan An was slightly taken aback.
"We checked all his records, including the model of each fingertip on the robotic palm." Lin Ze said, "There is no sign that he will mutate."
Nan'an heard about it and began to think: "Could it be other reasons?"
As soon as these words came out, he suddenly thought of Jill.
Jill didn't have any chips implanted at all, but got infected.
Could it be that……
Nan'an looked at Lin Ze.
As if responding to his questioning, Lin Ze said: "There is indeed a wound."
His slender fingertips rested on the keyboard, and his eyes fell on the screen: "The research institute gave feedback just now and found that there are obvious scars on his body, starting from the right shoulder blade and directly penetrating the sternum."
It's the shoulders again.
"If you look at it this way, is it also because of the injury, the wound caused the infection?"
"It's possible."
Nan'an fell into thought.
He doesn't understand the purpose of the Kepler base, just like understanding why humans continue to study technology, it is obvious that all chips can be completely shut down without any research.
If this is the case, wouldn't human society—at least the residents of Rose City—be safe?
For a little robot like him, it was really beyond the scope of his cognition.
but.
Now there is a more serious problem.
He fell asleep.
It may be that he was thinking too seriously just now, or other reasons. In short, he, a robot, lost sleep on what might be his last night in the human world.
Nan'an was deeply incomprehensible.
He bowed and bulged the quilt into a ball, and tossed and turned several times, his soft hair was messed up, but he still couldn't fall asleep.
So he grabbed the corner of the quilt with both hands, frowned tightly, and tried hard to fall asleep.
Lin Ze next to him was still working, and the crisp sound of typing on the keyboard came from time to time, accompanied by the occasional sound of the door opening—sometimes he would leave, go out with a communicator, and talk to other departments, like some kind of bionic person, electronic Intellectual terms.
Nan'an can't take care of so much anymore.
He is very sleepy.
But can't sleep.
But he must rest. If he can’t sleep like a human, he will also be tired. It can even be said that the human behavior of sleeping has become very important without knowing it—only for the nutrient solution and the charging pump.
If something happened tomorrow, he wouldn't be able to switch forms freely, transforming between robot and human.
This made Nan'an feel a little flustered.
So he worked harder to fall asleep, his small brows were frowned into Chuan characters, and he clutched the corner of the quilt tightly, trying to fall asleep.
But still to no avail.
The harder you try, the harder it is to fall asleep.
Nan'an felt like crying, and hearing occupied all his senses at this moment. He heard the beeping of the communicator, the sound of Lin Ze opening the door, and the rubbing sound of going to the bed to change clothes.
- It's over.
Even Lin Ze, a workaholic, is going to sleep.
He is not asleep yet.
Nan'an arched to the right, and was about to curl up and wrap into a smaller ball when he heard Lin Ze turn on the computer again.
Nan'an: "?"
He waited for a while without hearing the corresponding typing sound.
As usual, as long as Lin Ze turns on the computer, it will always be accompanied by the beeping sound of the communicator and crisp keyboard tapping.
But today, none of that.
So Nan'an quietly turned back, he closed his eyes, pretending to be in deep sleep, and then opened them a little.
Lin Ze's slender fingertips appeared in the field of vision.
At this time, he lightly touched the sensor button, as if he was browsing some page.
But Nan'an couldn't see it.
After thinking for a while, just when Nan'an was about to give up and continue to struggle with insomnia, a soft and melodious music came.
Nan An was slightly taken aback.
It was a soft tune, as if it contained the entire universe, ethereal but tactful.
Nan'an didn't know why Lin Ze played the music suddenly, but before he recovered, a gentle female voice came, with a soft bass, as if telling some story.
"Maybe there are five thousand flowers exactly like you in the world, but only you are my unique rose."
"Time soothes all sorrows, but when your sorrows have been soothed, you will be satisfied that you have known me."
……
Just a few words, Nan An was completely stunned.
If it was just music, he could still temporarily believe that Lin Ze played it because he wanted to hear it.
But now the little prince is completely for him.
It turned out that Lin Ze had already discovered that he couldn't fall asleep.
In fact, think about it, nothing can escape his eyes.
If he wasn't the most intelligent robot with the same limbs and appearance as a human, Lin Ze might have exposed him instantly.
I am sorry.
Nan'an repeated it in his heart many times.
At this time, the gentle female voice is still continuing, and together with the stars projected by the lampshade, they merge together to form a new dream in Nan'an.
This is a very strange emotion. If it was the same as before, he would have happily shouted "Yeah" and then fell asleep contentedly.
But today, he didn't seem to want to fall asleep easily.
Tomorrow will decide his fate, whether to completely expose the identity of the robot, or continue to work for this villain in the research institute in human society.
Everything is unknown.
However, at the moment when Nan'an fell into a deep sleep, he still believed that no matter what the result was, Lin Ze, a human being, might temporarily surpass the status of biscuits.
He will miss it all.
Nan An thought so.
Such a calm mood lasted until the next day. When Nan An entered the institute and saw Ellie and Professor Biddle, he also had a very calm expression.
Seeing Ellie's worried eyes, Nan'an knew that she already knew.
So Nan An shook his head, smiled and comforted him and said, "It's okay, Sister Ai Li."
Then, he said sorry again in his heart.
finished.He walked towards the other side of the corridor, which was the direction of the screening room. The institute was the same as before, with clean and tidy corridors and a strong smell of disinfectant.While carefully observing the surrounding environment, Nan'an followed the leading researcher.
He wants to find more ways to escape before being exposed.
It's not a so-called rebellion, because he didn't do anything bad at all.
Everything - it was given to him by the Kepler base.
He's just a little robot.
There were only Lin Ze and another researcher in the screening room. Nanan saw that the name tag on the white coat read "Flo", Professor Biddle's new assistant.
He has soft brown hair and curved eyebrows. Even though both arms were replaced with cold mechanical arms, he still smiled when he saw Nan An enter the door.
So Nan An also smiled at him.
"Hello, I'm the researcher in charge of this screening, my name is Flo," he said.
Nan'an responded: "Hello."
After finishing speaking, he subconsciously looked at Lin Ze, and saw that the other party's eyes just fell on him.
They stared at each other for a few more seconds.
"Next, I need to explain the screening project to you." Flo picked up the tablet and tapped it with his fingertips, "Including robotic arm screening, chip detection, brain wave monitoring, full-body scanning, and human index value testing." Wait, it will take about three hours, and Dr. Lin Ze and I will accompany you all the way, and you can go back after the inspection is correct." Nan'an couldn't understand these terms.
But judging from these words, he probably couldn't escape the monitoring methods of Rose City.
In fact, he was originally a robot.
It was just a panic to Lin Ze.
Nan'an walked into the testing room.
The door was closed immediately, and Flo walked into the monitoring room on the other side, and began to check one by one.
The sound of beeping.
Lin Ze stood not far away, looking at Nan'an who was being scanned through the glass, without any emotion in his eyes.It wasn't until Ellie pushed the door open that he turned his head and glanced indifferently.
"Is there a result?" Allie asked.
Lin Ze: "There is still an hour."
Allie sighed.
"I know that you kept Nan'an by your side in order to avoid risks." Ellie said, "But you can't bet all on your position. You must know that the police department has informed the two of you about his refusal to check the backpack yesterday." City, Nan'an must be imprisoned and then investigated, this is an indisputable fact, even if you stand in front, it will not help..."
Before Ellie finished speaking, Lin Ze interrupted: "I have my own plan."
Ellie was slightly taken aback.
She didn't say anything more, and after walking a few steps forward, her eyes fell on Nan'an, and her eyes were full of worry.After a few seconds, she murmured, "What if it turns out that Nan'an is not a resident of Rose City?"
Lin Ze said nothing.
"Now we are the only ones who know." Allie said, "But the test result is not what you expected, so..."
"I'll handle it."
"All the consequences will be borne by me." Lin Ze added, "I will truthfully report the inspection results of Nan'an."
Ellie was taken aback again.
Looking at Lin Ze in front of him, he smiled helplessly for a long while: "You are still you, you have been a colleague for so many years, nothing has changed."
Ellie didn't say anything, and stood beside Lin Ze.
At this time, Professor Biddle also came over.He is still a combination of white beard and white coat, but this time his pockets are fuller, filled with cookies and candies, as if for someone.
……
Screening room.
Nan'an seemed to have another dream.
Those scanning red and green lights reflected in his eyes, scanning layer by layer, just like the inspection done by the Kepler base.Accompanied by the sound of Didi and occasional instructions from Flo, Nan'an seemed to have returned to the base - where he seemed to have undergone such an inspection, countless circles of light swirled on his body, and the researchers around him whispered, saying " Phrases such as bionics.
—Bionics?
Nan An blinked blankly.
It seems that last night, when he couldn't sleep, he heard Lin Ze say this word too.
What exactly does it mean...
Nan'an fell into thought.
In a daze, the white halo on his body faded, and then the previous lights were restored in the screening room—it seemed that it was over.
Flo took off his earphones and got up from the glass room on the other side. He didn't let Nan An sit up, but frowned slightly, made a communication call directly, and said something to Lin Ze.
Nan'an's heartbeat quickened.
But he still tried to stay calm, because the wires and stickers that were attached to him were not removed.
Time seems to have passed for a long time.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lin Ze and Biddle walking beside Flo, discussing something.
But Nan'an couldn't hear these, because the glass in the screening room was too thick, as if it was made of some kind of material, and it was completely soundproof.
So he became even more nervous.
He tested it carefully with his fingertips, and saw an almost imperceptible silver light.
In this way, he still has the ability of a robot.
After deliberating for a few seconds, Nan'an decided to flee.
He quietly took off the patch on his chest, the bandages wrapped around his limbs, and the wires on his head, and got up quietly—but in just a second, he saw Lin Ze open the door and walk towards him.
Nan An shrank back subconsciously.
He looked at Lin Ze, and before he had time to say anything, he saw Lin Ze completely display the report he had just printed out in front of his eyes.
With just one glance, Nan An's eyes widened in disbelief.
——The report showed that it was actually a human being.
Except for the mechanical arm that perfectly fits his lies, there is no brain or chip, nothing at all.
How is this possible?
The author says:
Thanks for reading, the next chapter will reveal a little bit about An'an's cyberspace design——
After V is also the ninth watch in the evening, on the sixth day of the day, I want to make sure I don’t get fat =w= In the past few days, An’an will come to give out small red envelopes for comments, eh?
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
