Little Robot on the Run

machinery factory.

Nan'an decided to go to the repair shop to find out.

With less than three hours until his shift, that was perfectly adequate.

Without staying too long, Nan'an went downstairs again.

There is a back door at the rear of the school, which is usually tied with a heavy chain and covered with sticky moss. It looks like no one has been in or out for a long time.

And Nan'an left the school from there. He went out along the path all the way to the repair shop.

Along the way, he didn't meet many robots by accident, and more were ordinary residents fleeing in a hurry—at least, in appearance, they were very different from those waving their mechanical arms.

It was eerily quiet all around.

The more Nan'an walked out, the more he felt such silence.

There was no panic in his brows and eyes, and the eyes under the curled eyelashes were very calm, but the surroundings were too quiet, which had to make him more vigilant.There was blood trailing on the ground, mixed with scattered robotic arms, human tissue, and joints.Occasionally, a few black figures squatted on the side of the road, with their mechanical arms hanging down, like dragging long cicada wings, but they just crouched in the corner, looking at him with their eyes exposed.

It seems that at this moment, what Nan An heard, or felt, was only the screams and roars in the distance.

Nan'an quickened his pace.

The repair shop gradually appeared in sight.

Also a back door.

It wasn't locked either, with rusty chains hanging precariously from the door.

Looking at the gate in front of him, Nan An lowered his eyelashes in fear, panted slightly, and the moment he raised his eyes again, he walked into the repair shop.

There was no one in the repair shop at night, and with the eruption on the north side, all the shelves and repair tables were covered with white cloth, with different heights, and it was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling.

Nan'an stood still in front of one of the shelves. He looked at one of the raised pieces, which looked like a white cloth at the height of the skull, and took a breath.

After a while, he stretched out his hand calmly, and opened the corner of the cloth very vigilantly and decisively——

Just a row of repair tools.

It seemed that he was overthinking.

So Nan'an decided to go directly to the B1 floor.

As a robot, even in places without light, he can clearly capture every corner through night vision.

So when he entered the elevator and pressed the B1 button, there seemed to be some dark shadow passing by the door beside him.

Nan'an didn't have time to react, the elevator door slammed shut.

Immediately afterwards, the red prompt screen above the elevator lit up, starting from the second floor, then going to the orientation, going down to the first floor, and jumping down quickly—until the east side of the first floor where Nanan was, everything came to an abrupt end.

a few seconds.

But it seems like a century has passed.

Seeing this, Nan An plucked up the courage and reached out to the elevator button again.

Just when he was about to confirm the B1 button again, the elevator suddenly shook violently.

Unsteady, Nan An hit the right side of the elevator, and the next moment, his back hit the floor again.After a few seconds, just as he stood up, a sudden sense of weightlessness hit him.

The elevator began to sink rapidly.

Its speed is very fast, and it falls rapidly layer by layer, not just the floor of B1.

Until the end, when Nan An didn't know how many floors he had fallen, the elevator stopped suddenly, and there was a vague mechanical sound.

——Indistinct, yet very clear.

Nan An frowned.

He rubbed the wrist that was hit, then opened the elevator door, his eyes gradually focused on the scene in front of him, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

This is an existence completely beyond imagination.

In front of Nan'an, there are thousands of robots standing, and they can't see the end at a glance.Their eyes are closed and they have the appearance of humans, but they have more silver-white skin. There are mechanical arms placed on the left and right positions.

Nan'an didn't dare to stay too long, he ran to a hidden place, trying to hide first - at this moment, more voices appeared, ho ho echoed around.

So Nan'an became more and more careful. He walked forward and exited from the platform full of robots.

Above is a circular dome, covered with incandescent lamps, very bright.Following the light falling, Nanan saw more than 100 cold metal platforms, and occasionally a few of them were tied to humans—or in other words, they could no longer be described as humans. Half of their parts were replaced, and the soft human limbs were replaced by Throw it in a jar on the side, and throw it on the stage naked like this, blood dripping all over the ground, but no one cares about them.

In addition, there are parts, robotic arms and artificial chips all over the floor, in a mess, close to the connection position of the platform, there are many freezer tanks, round, arranged from small to large, with words for storage.

Nan'an didn't understand what was being stored, but at this moment, he knew what the so-called gap was.

——You have to tell Lin Ze immediately.

Thinking of this, Nan An decided to leave immediately.

But just as he was about to go back the same way, a robot suddenly opened its eyes!

It stared at Nan'an stubbornly, as if it had discovered an intruder, and then, the chip on its body brightened, as if warning, and gradually called a group.

So countless robots opened their eyes, and the lights started from the first row, then to the second row, and then to the third row...

Without even thinking about it, Nan An ran towards the door!

There was the sound of wind and mechanical friction behind him, but he didn't dare to turn back, or in other words, as long as he turned back, he might be overtaken by this group of robots.

Just like that, he ran all the way to the original elevator, and hastily pressed the option for the second floor.

The moment the elevator door closed, the sound of hitting the elevator sounded instantly.

Nan An took a breath.

He wiped the fine sweat from his cheeks, before he could recover, the elevator jumped to the second floor.

The moment he pulled it away, his eyes widened in disbelief.

In the repair room in front of him, there were countless robots standing, looking at him with their heads tilted.

Nan An had no other choice now. He took a few steps back carefully, but every time he took a step back, the robot in front of him would follow suit.

until--

He was suddenly pulled to the side cabinet.

"Lin Ze?" Nan'an's tone was filled with surprise.

Lin Ze didn't speak, nor did he explain too much, he turned his head out of the window.

Nan'an understood.

From the repair shop on the second floor, there is a wide flat land connecting the residential buildings on the side.

When Nan An and Lin Ze jumped out of the window, they saw two pale men in thick padded jackets, tilting their heads, showing fine teeth, trying to tear the wires off.

"Snapped--"

The power supply line snapped.

Immediately afterwards, the entire North District building fell into complete darkness.

One after another, one building after another, like dominoes, the lights of all the rooms began to go out one after another, and in an instant, it turned into a dark and endless abyss.

But even so, the sky that Nan'an looked up at was still gray, and the rain was still there. It seemed that it was not so clear because of the darkness.

"Follow." Lin Ze's voice came over suddenly.

Nan An closed his eyes, nodded and said in a low voice, "En."

They were about to go down the ladder to the flat ground when they heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind them.

Nan'an subconsciously turned his head - he saw the robot that was chasing them fall a dozen meters away from them, smashing the platform out of the depression.

It was clearly a human body, but it was unscathed.

In a daze, the robot tilted its head and straightened up, arched its back in a strange arc, and swooped towards them!

Before Nan An could react, Lin Ze beside him fired.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three special bullets precisely hit the screw connection of the clothes shed in the residential building. The next moment, the entire blue iron shed fell and smashed on the monster!

Lin Ze's communicator sounded an alarm at this time, he put away his gun, turned around and took Nan'an's hand: "Let's go."

In the chaos, Nan'an got off the platform and turned to the main road in the residential area.

He seemed a little powerless, maybe because he was too tired tonight, or for some other reason, or maybe this human being was too fast, and Nan An almost failed to keep up several times.

After an unknown amount of time, a light appeared in the distance of Nan'an's vision.

That is the west side area near the north side. Everything looks normal, and passers-by are in a hurry, which is in stark contrast to the north side.

It seems that, although it is a regional level, it is only limited to the North District.

Just then, several police officers appeared in front of them.

When one of the officers saw Lin Ze, he stood at attention and said, "Dr. Lin, although the outbreak in the North District has erupted, everything is normal in the West District now. Do you need support—"

Before the words fell, the movement of the mechanical arm suddenly sounded somewhere.

Not only did he react at all, the mechanical arm stretched out rapidly, flipped over, grabbed the guard in an instant, and penetrated straight through his body!

"you--"

Another team member quickly drew his gun!

At this moment, a mechanical arm rushed out from nowhere and grabbed the back of his neck precisely.With a click, the thin steel needle at the front of the arm pierced into the flesh and passed through the policeman's artery neatly.

In an instant, an exclamation sounded.

This is something Nan'an is familiar with, and it was the same in the North District before.

And the west district in front of him, accompanied by countless screams, instantly became a purgatory.

Countless mechanical arms stretched out from the passers-by, flipped rapidly, like a doll-grabbing machine, and attacked other ordinary residents!

Looking at the scene in front of him, Nan An gasped.

"What now?" His voice trembled.

"Go to the side door first." Lin Ze glanced at the three o'clock position, calmly loaded the gun, and fired.After killing several mutant humans who blocked the way, he threw the communicator in his pocket to Nan'an, "Contact Biddle."

Nan'an responded.

Following his memory, he called the institute.

"Hello, the number you dialed was not answered, please try again later."

Mixed with the terrified screams of people on the street, a cold mechanical female voice sounded.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of pressing the button to dial again.

During this period, Nan'an caught a glimpse of many broken limbs, or arms, or half palms, hanging on billboards or street lamp covers.But the place where it was broken was very crisp, as if it had been bitten off directly, and the broken part revealed a terrible forest white.

The blood fell warmly along the lit lights, dyed into colorful neon lights.

However, Nan'an didn't have time to take care of these.

He pressed the number keys on the communicator, contacted the laboratory, and followed Lin Ze to escape.And he was still holding the silver gun in his right hand, which was held by Lin Ze at this moment, and walked out of the west side area.

"Hello, the number you dialed was not answered, please try again later."

Gradually, the mechanical female voice became empty.

Only then did Nan An move his eyes away from the communicator, and when he looked forward, he saw them coming to a certain street in the West District.

Without the previous scene, pedestrians in twos and threes walked around them, chatting on the road.The flies above the head bumped tirelessly against the street lamps, and the dim light flickered on and off, lengthening the surrounding shadows.

"Is this safe?" Nan'an said, "But the research institute can't be contacted yet."

"Continue." Lin Ze said.

Nan An hummed in a low voice, but for some reason, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lin Ze frowned and loaded the last few bullets.

"what happened?"

"We are surrounded."

As if to confirm this sentence, everyone on the street stopped at some point.

They were motionless like telegraph poles, but the bulging veins on their arms gradually became more apparent, and their silver-white skin appeared in sight.

——The sound unique to the rotation of the mechanical arm sounded again at this moment, echoing around them.
