A Bug’s Desire To Survive

Originally came to this world, found dozens of children of luck, and finally chose "Fei Xiu". He is young, energetic, and extremely talented. At the age of 23, he has made great achievements in military affairs and has made a name for himself. However, after he was injured and retired, he was at a turning point in his life.

He left the battlefield with regret and unwillingness, hiding in this remote town, refusing to communicate with anyone, it was very difficult to get close to him and establish contact with him at first.

After thinking twice, she decided to temporarily transform into a robot, gain his trust, and then guide him step by step to create a new future.

However, Primordial, who did not establish contact with the Child of Luck, was hurt by the power of the law anytime and anywhere. It was difficult to survive in a small world, and the robot incarnated was only a defective product. Although it successfully attracted the attention of the Child of Luck, it failed He asked him to take her home, and unfortunately met a patrolling mechanical dog.

Originally, he knew that Fei Xiu was hiding in the dark, but he had no intention of helping. She could only save herself, using the only remaining mechanical arm, to shoot the mechanical dog flying, but the force of a single blow was not enough to subdue the mechanical dog. Seeing that it turned over and rushed towards her again, it was lying on the garbage heap at first. , the circular mobile base was suddenly dislocated and turned into two mechanical legs, which accurately clamped the neck of the mechanical dog.

Fei Xiu in the dark originally thought that she would see the tragic scene of the robot being dismembered, but unexpectedly, her base turned out to be a composite mobile device. At the critical moment, she switched modes and used a scissor leg.

The mechanical dog kept swaying, trying to shake off the robot hanging around its neck, but she was like dog skin plaster, sticking so tightly that she couldn't shake it off.

After a while, the metal eyes of the mechanical dog lit up with red light, and two lasers shot at the robot hanging under the neck.

After a few sizzles, the armor on the robot's chest emitted a chance of blue smoke, leaving two traces of being melted.

The mechanical dog's attack power is not strong, but it is more than enough to deal with a broken and old assistant robot.

One after another laser shot on her body, leaving her incomplete body full of holes. The metal parts that took her several days to replace were damaged again, and a large cloud of smoke came out of her body, but she always No need to loosen her legs.

One minute, two minutes...five minutes, the robot's eyes flickered, and every time Fei Xiu thought she was about to lose the next second, he saw the light come back on again, dragging her battered body, bravely She fought against an enemy dozens of times stronger than her.

In a trance, Fei Xiu saw a strong survival urge on a robot.

The battle that could have ended in three minutes at most, under the tenacious resistance of the robot, persisted abruptly for seven minutes, paid nearly 70% of the physical damage, and exhausted the energy of the mechanical dog.

They fell to the ground at the same time, allowing the rain to hit them with a crackling sound.

Fei Xiu slowly walked out of the dark and came to the place where the two mechanical creatures lay down. Looking at the tattered body of the robot, it completely lost its luster, as if it had turned into a cold metal corpse.

He observed the robot for ten days, watching her repair her body little by little, replace parts, piece together the skeleton, and survive alone in the ruins like an ant.

However, what if you try harder? Didn't it end up being a pile of junk? A low-level mechanical dog can easily kill you and make all your efforts go to waste.

A flash of self-mockery flashed in Fei Xiu's eyes, the rain slid down his face, his wet hair hung down overwhelmedly, and his whole body exuded a depressing and desolate aura.

After stopping for a moment, he moved his steps and turned to leave. Just as he took a step, a weak pulling force suddenly came from his boots, preventing him from moving forward.

Fei Xiu lowered his head and saw a mechanical leg resting on his instep, as if he wanted to hook his ankle, but he didn't have enough control, and it lifted and dropped several times.

Fei Xiu followed the mechanical leg and looked at the leg's owner, the robot that was supposed to be cool. There was only a faint glow in her eyes that was almost negligible, and her broken body was pressed by the mechanical dog. Because she had no arms, she could only wriggle slowly like a caterpillar, struggling in the muddy water. , so pathetic and ridiculous.

"Your body can no longer be repaired, and the energy is endless." Fei Xiu said indifferently, "Immersed in the rain for dozens of minutes, it will soon be fully functional, and then become a part of this pile of garbage. "

The robot seemed to understand, and the mechanical legs fell weakly, splashing a piece of muddy water.

"No matter how good you used to be, once you lose your ability, you are worthless." After leaving this sentence, he decided to leave.

Fei Xiu thought it was ridiculous to try to find comfort in a robot, follow her like a fool, observe her, watch her repair her body day in and day out, and see success in a mechanical dog. Under the attack, it turned into a pile of metal garbage again.

Running back to the manor, Fei Xiu rushed into the bathroom, washed himself with warm water, then went back to the bedroom and fell asleep.

The next day, after the rain and the weather, Fei Xiu woke up to the sound of birdsong, got up to wash, changed into home clothes, ate a random compressed biscuit, put on sneakers, and was ready to go out for a morning run.

He stepped out of the door, suddenly felt something, looked down, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

A few rays of morning light fell on the stairs outside the door, reflecting the mottled tree shadows. A tattered robot was leaning against the wall. The silver-gray metal shell was covered with scratches. Different footprints, with half-dried muddy water, extended from under her feet to the outside of the yard.

She... followed him back?

How did she manage the distance of several kilometers in her current situation?

Fei Xiu tightened his fingers, and an indescribable emotion flooded his heart.

He didn't care when she was tossing around the garbage, trying to fix herself; he didn't care when she was attacked by a mechanical dog; he didn't care when she was dying.

Now, with her last strength, she stumbled to find his manor.

Will he continue to watch from the sidelines?

Fei Xiu closed his eyes, finally bent down, and with gentle movements that he didn't even notice, he took the robot into his arms and brought it back to his home.

Fei Xiu has not systematically learned to repair machinery, but he has been in the army for many years, and he still understands the simple mechanism. He first checked the core of the robot, only 1% of the energy was left, and he couldn't even turn it on. I really don't know how she insisted on getting here.

After dismantling the outer shell, Fei Xiu's internal structure was completely exposed, which shocked him again.

The internal parts are old and new, and it looks messy, but it is unbelievable that this kind of messy structure can maintain the normal operation of the robot.

Which factory made this robot, the performance is too good!

Fei Xiu searched carefully, but did not find the manufacturer's mark, only two vague fonts on the edge of the kernel.

"... Chu?" Fei Xiu only recognized one of the words, "Is this your name? Chu..."

Fei Xiu dried her whole body, wiped off the stains, and made simple repairs to make sure she wouldn't fall apart before charging her up.

He planned to see if she could still start, and if it could, he would find a mechanic to help her change her body to a new model. Now this body, the degree of damage is too high, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to repair, and has no use value.

An hour later, when the energy was charged to 10%, Fei Xiu was about to try to turn it on, but the robot's eyes suddenly lit up, and the blue light flickered, staring at him quietly.

Fei Xiu: "...you're awake."

The original eyes flickered a few times, and I was in a good mood. Because she found that when she was dead, she had successfully established a connection with the child of luck, temporarily getting rid of the crisis of being rejected by the law.

When she thought about it, the mechanical leg made a clicking sound and slowly folded and folded. As a result, because the parts were damaged, it got stuck in the middle, like a crab.

Original: "..."

Fei Xiu: "..."

"Your body is so damaged that many functions can't be used." Fei Xiu said, "I'll find a mechanic for you in a few days and change your body."

"Buzz..." Yuan Chu debugged the voice system and made a cold mechanical sound, "Can you help me connect the arm first?"

Fei Xiu looked at her in amazement: "How can you still speak???"

Original: "I have a complete speech database of 42 common languages."

"But you're just an assistant robot." Fei Xiu pointed out, "How is it possible to have complex communication with humans?"

"I am the first-generation intelligent assistant robot newly developed by Kemal Company in 3711. The intelligence level is 5.7 times higher than that of ordinary robots."

Fei Xiu: "...do you know how many years it is now?"

Original: "I just left the factory for a year, and it has been put into use for less than half a year. Now it is 3713, and the error is about 2 to 3 months."

Fei Xiu: "...No, it's 3724 now."

Original: "..."

"Furthermore," Fei Xiu added, "the Kemal Company closed down more than ten years ago because of illegal research and development of intelligent robots. You may be the ones that were destroyed in the first place."

Of course Yuan Chu knew, that's why he chose this identity, an intelligent robot that survived the crisis of destruction.

"I thought you were a mutant robot at first, but I didn't expect it to be an intelligent robot." After the human-machine war, the development of intelligent robots was restricted, and today's general-purpose home robots only retain basic auxiliary functions.

It is estimated that this robot was sent to be destroyed soon after it left the factory, but it was not completely destroyed. Under a certain opportunity, it turned on by itself and survived alone in the garbage heap.

With the intelligence she showed, she should have attracted the attention of the world, but as soon as she was born, she was destroyed and thrown into the garbage heap, and she didn't wake up until now.

Fei Xiu felt that she was really similar to him, with different talents, but her fate was unfortunate. She fell from a rising star to dust on the ground. From then on, she could only be in the company of garbage and completely lost the qualification to pursue her dreams.

"If you don't want to be destroyed again, then don't stand out in front of people other than me in the future. I'll go back and input the basic data of today's assistant robots into your chip, and you have to learn to be a qualified, sand sculpture. The assistant robot." As for the mechanic, he didn't plan to look for it for the time being, lest any clues be found.

Yuan Chu: "...Okay."

Qualification is no problem, just sand sculpture.
