A Bug’s Desire To Survive

After half a year and dozens of treatments, Yuan Chu and Li Xun's bodies not only recovered, but also healthier than before.

The therapeutic device developed by Yuan Chu and her laboratory was released to the world soon after and officially put into production the following year, which, as expected, aroused a huge response, benefiting many helpless patients, and creating a new concept for Li Chen. made a fortune.

The three brothers and sisters of the Li family were all waiting for Old Man Li and Li Tan to die, but not only did they not die, but they lived more and more comfortably. Grandpa Li didn't die until he was 100 years old. At that time, Li Wenhong died of illness, and Li Wenyi also died in a car accident when he was 50 years old.

Yuan Chu and Li Tan sent away Grandpa Li together, and then adopted two children from the orphanage and cultivated them carefully. When they grew up, they handed over all the family business to them. The two packed their luggage and traveled around.

They traveled all over the world, saw all the scenery, and lived a happy life.

After Li Tan passed away, Yuan Chu left this small world with luck and faith.

The luck of this world is not as powerful as the previous world, but Yuan Chu felt very familiar, and always felt that the two children of luck might be the same person. In a small world, she can't break the space barrier and peep into another world.

Originally, I didn't know why I should care about this issue, but I just had a secret expectation. The connection established between her and the Child of Luck may have created some kind of traction, allowing them to meet continuously in the Great Thousand World.

Consciousness drifted for a long time, and before Tiandao found her, Yuan Chu threw herself into the new world again.

Xinlan is a small border town located in the northwest of Kalo Country. It is remote and sparsely populated. Although it is not as prosperous as a big city, it is far away from the hustle and bustle, with magnificent scenery and a unique style. The local residents are warm and simple, but also quite sturdy. Due to the proximity of the steel ruins and the numerous mutant mechanical beasts, most of the men, women and children in Xinlan have learned some combat skills.

Not long ago, a manor on the outskirts of Xinlan welcomed her new owner, a 24-year-old handsome young man named "Fei Xiu", blond and blue-eyed, with a strong figure and outstanding appearance. He had just arrived in Xinlan. At the time, it attracted the attention of many local young girls. Later, I heard that he used to be a soldier, because he was seriously injured and was forced to retire, and he was entitled to the third-level disability treatment. This kind of treatment is very high, with high monthly subsidies, free transportation, free use of public facilities, etc., but in any case, it is not comparable to a healthy body.

Fei Xiu became famous as a teenager. He showed amazing talent and strong mental strength since he was a child. He enlisted in the army at the age of 18, and was awarded the Warrior Medal at the age of 19. In the next four years, he won many military exploits and is expected to become the youngest major general in the history of Carlo.

However, in a sneak attack, the team he led was ambushed by the enemy. There were more than 100 soldiers, but only a dozen survived. Fei Xiu was also seriously injured. Spiritual power is also downgraded from S rank to B rank.

Fei Xiu was young and arrogant, and he offended many people. Young people of his age either admired him or envied him. After his retirement, I don't know how many people regret it, and how many people applaud.

Fei Xiu used to be a young hero with outstanding achievements, and he was qualified to despise all the young heroes who were inferior to him, but now he is disabled at the third level, and his fighting power is not as good as that of an ordinary soldier. No matter how high you stand, it hurts when you fall.

After learning about his physical condition, Fei Xiu couldn't accept the reality. The sympathy, disappointment, regret, ridicule, and irony of others made him unbearable. He is a born warrior, he can't do anything except fight, forced to leave the battlefield, he doesn't know how to go in the future. So after being discharged from the hospital, he resolutely left the main city and came to his mother's former hometown, refusing to communicate with the outside world, hiding in an unoccupied corner, and licking his wounds alone.

In the old manor, he was alone.

In the evening, Fei Xiu ate a random bit of compressed food, then lay on the roof, staring absently at the sky.

The sky gradually dimmed, the earth fell into darkness, and the streets of the city were lit up with lights, flickering like a bright galaxy, in sharp contrast with the dark and dark suburbs.

After an unknown amount of time, Fei Xiu sat up and was about to go back to his room to sleep when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a few dim lights in the darkness in the distance.

That was the only way to the iron and steel ruins. It has long been abandoned, and there are metal garbage everywhere, and it is rarely crowded.

The vigilance that Fei Xiu had cultivated over the years of fighting made him unable to ignore the suspicious light.

The night is the best cover, Fei Xiu approached the target carefully, hid himself in the garbage heap, and looked intently, only a few dozen meters away, a figure more than one meter high slowly moved in the garbage heap, making a creaking sound. sound.

At first glance, Fei Xiu thought it was a child, but it turned out to be a... robot.

This robot should be a life assistant robot produced many years ago. The outer casing is damaged, many circuits are exposed, and a mechanical arm is missing. The energy indicator light flashes and it is hard to believe that it can still work.

Fei Xiu didn't make a sound, secretly observing the strange robot.

The country of Caro has developed technology and has produced many machine creatures to assist humans in their work. A few decades ago, a mad scientist implanted a virus into the brain, giving some mechanical creatures self-awareness, which triggered a large-scale mechanical riot. Humans and mechanical creatures fought for five or six years. year of battle. As the virus continues to spread and mutate, the development of mechanical organisms has become irreversible, and human beings have finally paid a painful price to barely control the situation. However, as long as people come, they still need networks, brains, and technology, and mechanical creatures will not go extinct.

The only good thing is that not all mechanical creatures are enemies of humans. Only those mechanical creatures infected by viruses and mutated in their cores will attack humans. Humans are constantly improving their firewalls, constantly monitoring and scanning those dangerous viruses to prevent them from invading. The emergence of mutated viruses, although a threat to human society, has also promoted the rapid progress of human network technology.

Later, humans strictly classified various mechanical creatures, and only the military could use combat-type mechanical creatures. The average family can only use the assistant robot, can not be connected to the Internet casually, and only retain the basic auxiliary functions.

The iron and steel ruins a hundred miles away from Xinlan were the remnants of that war, and there are still many mutant mechanical beasts in it. Carlo Country is now at war with Kramon, and for the time being, there is no spare energy to clean up these steel ruins, and it can only rely on the local defenders to deal with it.

Xinlan is relatively poor, with only a few hundred defenders, and there are at least tens of thousands of mutant mechanical beasts in the steel ruins, and they will come out every once in a while to **** resources. If it were not limited by materials and energy, it would not be possible to manufacture powerful weapons, Xinlan would not have been able to keep it long.

Fei Xiu hid in the dark and observed quietly, not knowing what the robot was looking for in the garbage. This model cannot actively connect to the Internet or fight, and is very unlikely to be infected or inserted with a virus. It cannot start on its own if no one gives instructions.

Fei Xiu glanced around vigilantly, making sure that no one was controlling him, and he couldn't help but wonder. What's up with this robot? Is it possible for a half-crippled old-fashioned assistant robot to mutate?

While Fei Xiu was thinking about it, the robot had already dug out a lot of spare parts from the garbage, and then waved the only remaining mechanical arm to start repairing its own body.

Fei Xiu: "???"

He can hardly believe his eyes, an assistant robot can only perform simple fault scanning, and does not have the function of self-diagnosis at all!

But what does he see now? The robot took off the metal shell on its chest, replaced aging parts, and even repaired itself.

Fei Xiu wondered if the machine in front of him was a mutated mechanical beast in the shell of an assistant robot.

After observing for a full two hours, the robot repaired 5% of its body, and then bumped toward the north, stopped at a place where a lot of large garbage was placed, curled up, and the lights in its eyes went out, as if Crash in general, and the surrounding environment as one.

Fei Xiu stood not far away and watched for a long time, but in the end, he did not look closely, but turned and left.

The next night, he came to the ruins again, and unsurprisingly saw the robot running out to rummage through metal waste and repair his body.

Day after day, without interruption, although progress is slow, but never give up. Sometimes I work all night and I can't find the right spare parts. Sometimes the accessories don't fit, and you can only try again and again.

It was obviously just a robot, but Fei Xiu saw a kind of perseverance in it, a kind of perseverance.

Ten days later, Xinlan ushered in a heavy rain. Fei Xiu stood in the room, watching the heavy rain outside the window, thinking that the robot should not appear tonight.

In the hazy rain and fog, a sliver of light flashed away.

Fei Xiu was taken aback, took out the telescope, and aimed at the spot of light.

It's the robot again!

So much rain, what does it come out for? With its tattered body, it is not waterproof at all! Does it want to be completely scrapped?

Fei Xiu held a sigh of relief in his chest, hesitated for a moment, then whispered a curse, put on his raincoat, and strode into the rain.

When I got close, I heard some strange noises vaguely. With Fei Xiu's ear and experience, he quickly determined that it was the sound of battle.

fighting?

Who is too busy fighting a broken assistant robot on this rainy night?

As soon as Fei Xiu stuck his head out, he saw that the robot was knocked into the garbage heap, and the one who struck it was a canine mutant mechanical beast. Although he is thin in stature, his movements are agile. Compared to it, that robot is a bit horrific.

The mechanical dog rushed towards the robot in the posture of a hungry dog, aiming at its head, and it was about to bite. At the critical moment, the robot grabbed a quick metal plate, slapped it hard, and slapped the mechanical dog aside, and its only remaining mechanical arm was also detached from its body.

Fei Xiu: "..."

Looking at the robot that lost its arms and looked like a metal pillar, Fei Xiu felt that it was definitely over.
