Chapter 16
The sky was getting darker, and there seemed to be lightning gathering in the clouds, making an indistinct muffled sound from time to time. Werther searched for the route next to him at the fastest speed, but either the terrain was unknown, or he needed to go backwards and make a big circle, or even an extra hour or two.
No matter which road is not as easy as the current one, plus it is about to rain, going back and taking a detour will only increase the danger.
Zhuang Jiu immediately stopped, took out a protective suit from under the seat, and put on a mask; Werther also put on a special full-body metal suit and gloves.
The two opened the car door, and Werther quickly made sure that there was no other lifeform beside him, and then carefully approached the empty shell.
Even if it is dead and even its body is hollowed out, it is uncertain whether there are active viruses, parasites, etc. on its body. In addition, there is such a large empty shell in front of it, and even the predecessor is a mutated cockroach, and a full set of protection must be done to get close.
Werther has a built-in thermal induction system, which can clearly sense that the outside of the shell is still emitting a slight heat, perhaps because the heat has not completely dissipated because it has not been long since he died.
Just as he walked to the edge of the shell, Zhuang Jiu smelled a foul smell coming from the inside of the hollow. She frowned slightly and squeezed the mask tighter.
Although it seems that the shell only has a thin layer, the touch of the hand is a little strangely soft, and it is not strong. Zhuang Jiu and Werther pushed for a long time before the shell moved slightly less than half a meter to the left. Werther is a robot and won't feel tired, but Zhuangjiu's current body is 7 years ago, not the body that has been trained after 7 years, so it is already too tired at this moment, waved his hand, "Wather wait, I will first Take a rest."
She casually rested on the ground for a while, and she regained some physical strength. Just when she was about to stand up and continue, Werther suddenly got up and rammed Zhuang Jiu directly in the direction of the car!
Zhuang Jiu didn't notice its move, fell to the ground and rolled in a circle, looking at Werther with flowery eyes.
At the same time, the layer of "fluff" on the shell trembled wildly, then suddenly fell off the shell, rushed towards Werther, and rolled Werther into the layers of fluff!
Zhuang Jiu's eyes widened, and she shouted in a voice: "Werther—!!"
When the layer of fluff opened, she clearly saw that the bottom of the fluff was densely packed with feet, almost all over the bottom layer of the fluff!
That's not fluff at all, it's simply a mutated parasite attached to a cockroach!
If Werther hadn't knocked her off just now, the person wrapped by this parasite should be Zhuangjiu!
The situation was urgent, Zhuang Jiu quickly came to the side of the car, pressed a switch next to it, a small door was slowly opened on the side of the car, and a star magnetic gun lay there quietly.
Zhuang Jiu calmly pulled out the gun and aimed it at the parasite!
In an instant, a strong magneto-light was ejected from the muzzle, hitting the parasite heavily. It squeaked in pain, and half of its body was raised high, revealing its frantically waving feet, and its mouthparts also shrank, seeming to be threatening the wine that had just attacked it.
This is the time!
Zhuangjiu fired again.
The powerful recoil almost made her wrists sore, but this time it wasn't just the magneto-light. The violently rising fireworks instantly burned all the black fluff, and the flames completely wrapped the parasite!
In a few seconds, it couldn't bear the scorching of the hot flames, got down from Werther, threw himself on the ground and started rolling frantically, trying to suppress the flames of its whole body, but how could Zhuangjiu let it go so easily? Papa took two more shots, and finally the parasite gave a strange cry, fell to the ground with a burning smell, and lost his life.
Werther was also disengaged from the self-defense system. When I threw down the metal coat, I found that the metal seemed to have been corroded by the liquid, leaving only a bumpy bottom, and even a large hole was corroded in some places, and there was still a slight smoke.
If Zhuang Jiu didn't take out the star magnet gun in time, or if the star magnet gun couldn't emit flames that would cause fatal damage to parasites, Werther's metal body might be lost!
Werther's main chip is still in this body. If even the chip is corroded, although the code is still there, you can recreate an AI, but the AI that appears again will not be Werther after all!
After the wine, Zhuang realized that he was afraid, and he was relieved to find that his body was terribly stiff. She came to Werther, hugged its neck, and said happily: "Fortunately, fortunately, I can react fast enough. If you slow down, you may not be able to keep your body."
"I can't lose it anymore. You!"
Werther patted her back: [It's okay, sister, Werther will be fine. Werther put my chip in a safe place before this trip, in the mezzanine of the car's trunk. Therefore, even if this body is lost, Werther is still there, but he can't drive his sister for the rest of the journey. 】
Zhuang Jiu finally felt relieved, "You still think more."
Werther smiled shyly: 【Be prepared. 】
When the two were chatting, the flame beside them had gradually extinguished. The parasite was incinerated into a huddled mass of charred black.
Werther took out a set of metal clothes and put them on again. Wearing gloves, he carried the parasite to the edge of a cliff not far away, and threw it down!
Looking at the falling thing, it snorted humanely.
After doing these things, it goes back and the château pushes the shell again. The shell was much lighter, and it was pushed for a long distance after a while. It seemed that it was so hard to push just now, all because of the weight of the parasite.
Pushing the cockroach shell under the cliff, this bot was finally a lot easier. Zhuang Jiu took off the protective suit, and after the fire set it on fire, Werther also sterilized the metal clothes, himself and Zhuang Jiu before returning to the car.
Drops of rain began to hit the dirt and the roof of the car, hitting the rhythm of the rhythm. Werther hurriedly set off, and finally before the rainstorm completely fell, the two saw the shadow of the base from a distance.
After they left, the parasites and cockroach shells that Werther threw down the mountain were also washed away by the rain, gradually washing away their stench and burnt smell.
Under the heavy rain, a passing bee hurriedly hid in the temporary shelter built by the shell. Standing on a slightly protruding hard shell, it looked curiously at the object that fell next to it and was still being washed by the rain, the dead, charred body, and the object that could no longer see its true colors.
It likes to eat honey, and has little interest in this foul-smelling thing. After being washed by the rainstorm, there was not much pollen left on its body. It smelled the smell on the side in distress, but still couldn't find the smell of going home.
What it didn't see was that, under the cover of the rainstorm, a black soft-bodied creature as small as a fishing line wriggled down from the scorched parasite corpse and slowly approached the bee.
It didn't know the danger was coming. Seeing that the sky was already dark, the rainstorm showed no sign of stopping. Its wings vibrated slightly, and it flew out of the shell to find its way home, but it didn't notice that its tail needle was covered by a small the creature wrapped around it, and followed it away.
It didn't take long for the bee to be attracted by the tiger lying under the tree next to it, and landed on it silently, and at this time, the soft-bodied creature also got into the tiger's hair instantly, and gently broke its flesh, along the subcutaneously into its brain.
The rainstorm finally fell completely, and Zhuang Jiu finally came to the gate of the base.
The time has already pointed to 8:30 in the evening, and they arrived at the gate of the base more than two hours later than originally planned. After completing their work, the transport robots left the base and flew back to return to their lives. At this time, the lights in the base were not turned on, and it looked empty.
This is a base built in the depths of Qinshan Mountain, on a flat ground with few green plants. It seems to be far more than the one kilometer required by Zhuangjiu at the beginning, with a radius of about three kilometers.
The fence was all installed with power grids, and a very deep ditch was dug on the outside, three meters wide and more than ten meters deep. Even about 15 meters away from the ditch, there is not a single grass in sight.
It perfectly meets the requirements mentioned by the winery at the time, and even a lot more.
But the problem now is that this deep ditch surrounds the entire base and separates the gate of the base from the outside world.
In front of Zhuang Jiu is a huge pit.
How should she and her car get in?
While thinking, the gate detected the appearance of Zhuangjiu's car. Didi scanned it with infrared light from top to bottom, and then made a cold metallic sound: [Visitor detected: Galaxy 239. Identity is met, confirm entry. ]
The gate opens, and a metal plate extends from the bottom of the metal, spread out like a red carpet, just above the ditch, connecting a metal road that communicates the base and the outside.
Galaxy 239 drove into the base, the metal road was retracted, and the gate slammed shut, turning the base into an isolated island.
Remaining and independent.
Zhuang Jiu suddenly thought of this sentence.
After driving inside for several more minutes, Zhuang Jiu saw a familiar villa appear in front of her.
The layout and construction of the villa where she used to live are very different, except that the color has changed from the original dark gray to...
uh... grass green?
Werther made a proud voice as if taking credit: [Although it was only three days, Werther instructed these decoration robots to try his best to restore the villa we used to live in perfectly. Werther also checked on Wikipedia, and green seems to be refreshing, and to cover up the traces of such a large base, I painted the villa green at my own discretion. 】
Zhuang Jiu praised it violently, until it fluttered, and then asked weakly: "But there is not a single grass on the land in this base, and suddenly there is such a large green in the middle. Will it look a little more abrupt when the star probe sees it?"
Werther thought silently for a while, [Then why should Werther paint the land green too? 】
Zhuangjiu was joking, but Werther was seriously thinking about it. She was startled and quickly stopped, "No! Werther did a great job this time! Anyway, no aircraft will be able to get here in a while, and the possibility of us being discovered should be relatively small."
It is raining heavily now , Zhuangjiu couldn't see other things in the base, and she had been on the road for several days and didn't have a good rest. At this time, she was not in the mood to observe where the things she had stocked up in the past few days were kept.
After parking Galaxy 239 in the basement of the house, and in a small cubicle in the basement, the whole body was disinfected - cleaned - and then disinfected. After that, the two took the elevator directly to the first floor of the villa.
It is similar to the appearance of the home. The sofa, refrigerator and other furniture are all available, and they are placed in their respective places according to the familiar positions.
Knowing that Zhuangjiu was too hungry, Werther quickly opened the kitchen to make a meal as soon as he came in. Zhuang Jiu, who finally relaxed, was lying on the sofa, and when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a sound from Xingwang.
Werther was working, and Zhuangjiu struggled for a while to get up and open the star network, but found that the message was sent by an unfamiliar account.
When I clicked in, I found that Qian Xiyi had changed another number, and the message sent to Zhuang Jiu was urgent and anxious.
[Zhuangzhuang! Where are you now? Be careful and hide quickly, there seem to be strange people roaming the streets! ]
The author has something to say:
Small Theater:
Werther (throwing something off the cliff): [Bah! You parasite of #@￥%...&*, #@...%￥*&]
Werther (when facing Zhuang Jiu): [嘤嘤嘤, sister, this thing is terrible QwQ! 】
The thrilling journey (?) has passed, and the leisurely life of salted fish will start immediately!
I overslept in the nap... so I didn't post until 6 o'clock, sorry...
