China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 333 Omnic Crisis

After the dense waterfall of green text codes, it turned out to be animation again.

When Wu Heng watched the first concept trailer, he carefully studied the information flow at the beginning that looked like computer code. He paused to watch it several times and found that it was made up of Roman letters, oracle bones and numbers. It seemed to have no actual meaning.

meaning.

What came into view was a dark tone, completely different from the gorgeous colors in the first animated short a week ago.

Desolation, silence, and even the soil seemed to be covered with a layer of black haze like volcanic ash.

A dilapidated car was driving in the bumpy and hazy wilderness. After a while, the car stabilized, and Wu Heng noticed that the car had entered a highway.

The road almost blends into the surrounding wilderness and is almost completely covered in dust, but there are still vague flat unnatural traces on the road surface, indicating that this is a long-abandoned road.

The driver of the car was a messy-haired teenager wearing a shabby sweater with a long scar on his cheek. Sitting next to him was a little girl, about six or seven years old. Although the girl's clothes were also very shabby, her cheeks and pigtails were

Tidy up neatly.

Through the dialogue between the two children, it was revealed that they were a brother and sister. The settlement where these brothers and sisters were located was destroyed. Only the two of them escaped and wanted to find the next human settlement that would allow them to stay.

place.

The boy kept adjusting the radio equipment in the car, but no matter which frequency band he adjusted to, there was a rustling sound without any echo.

It's as if the entire human civilization has disappeared.

The robot dog was still in hot pursuit, but was pulled further and further away by the car.

But it turned out to be a false alarm.

Wu Heng thoughtfully deciphered the information given in the short film. This seems to be the background of the end of the world. Is there a nuclear war? Or some other disaster?

But what does this have to do with last week's first trailer?

It's not day, but night. Thick clouds in the dark night sky cover the moon and stars.

Wu Heng knew that this should be the locator that the robot dog shot out at the beginning. It seemed that humans had been prepared for it, and they must have done this kind of thing often.

A "black mouse" was hiding in a secret corner. Because the boy's last search was gentle and silent, the "black mouse" was not disturbed. He was awakened by the brother and sister's voice that they had not deliberately suppressed. He stood up on his limbs.

Wu Heng was shocked by this sudden and divine turn. The young man also realized miserably that there was definitely no way to save him this time. A dozen or dozens of trackers couldn't be dug out or cleaned, and that would be the same as committing suicide.

There is no difference.

This setting directly makes the sound extremely sensitive, using the details of the sound to arouse Wu Heng's tension and uneasiness, making his tension rise all the way during the process of the picture, because of the slightest movement of the sound.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, but Wu Heng in front of the screen kept tense because according to his experience in watching movies, the audience would often encounter a surprise attack from the plot at this time.

Omnic Crisis!?

Wu Heng had some strange thoughts in his heart. In the first animated short last week, humans were killing robots, but in the second animated short, it was robots chasing humans? Interesting...

After filling the tin box with gasoline, the boy hesitated for a moment, looked back at the car where his sister was in the distance, gritted his teeth, and carefully walked into the gas station without making any sound. The convenience store was already empty except for packaging.

Paper shells and garbage were scattered on the ground, and Wu Heng seemed to be able to see through this scene the panic of people entering the store and looting all the goods.

In the horrified eyes of the young man, a small ball shot out from the top of the streamlined machine, exploded, and countless small warheads flew in all directions.

The little girl struggled to drive the car aimlessly in the wilderness.

After a lot of danger, the brother and sister escaped from the building and staged a silent and tense chase scene in the city. When the robot dog was about to catch up, they got into a car parked on the edge of the city and sped towards the wilderness in the distance.

.

"Once they hear you, they'll start hunting you."

This scene of human beings remaining silent amidst the chirping of birds, the sound of natural wind, and the rustling of animals and insects gave Wu Hengsheng a strange feeling of horror and chill.

In the past, when we were in settlements, adults would regularly organize exploration teams to collect materials in the city. The settlements could solve part of the material consumption, but some still needed to be obtained from the city.

Sure enough, the boy drove the car and asked his sister to take out a small package from the back seat of the car. The box contained gauze and several slender knives that looked like scalpels.

Except there is not a single person to be found.

Are robot dogs hunting humans?

In the end, two people, one large and one small, drove together towards the faint city on the skyline.

The black beads were thrown out of the car window. After a while, the robot dog caught up with him, leaned down and looked at the locator, and lost track of the vehicle.

But the car target still flashes red in the robot dog's eyes, allowing it to stay behind and unable to get rid of it.

The mouse-shaped streamlined machine deformed and stood up with four mechanical legs. Its body was a bit flat like a cockroach, and it chased after the boy. One of its front legs could also lift the barrel of a gun with its feet exposed for shooting.

The little girl walked slowly to the corner of a ruined wall, carrying the mini teddy bear that her brother had found for her from the city, and lay down in the corner, hugging the teddy bear tightly, basking in the warm light of the sunset.

The young man faced her with a bright smile, and there were no wounds on his face.

And the brother and sister were strangely silent and moved slightly, as if they were acting in a silent movie.

However, the little girl's little hand grabbed the boy's arm and never let go, no matter how much the boy tried to persuade her.

Although some buildings showed signs of damage, most of them were intact. Even compared to the gray haze in the wilderness, the city seemed vibrant and radiant.

Wu Heng sniffed, thinking that this should be the destroyed settlement where the brother and sister mentioned at the beginning were.

The robot dog lost its vision, and even other detection equipment was sealed by a layer of sticky milky white paint. It was played by teenagers like headless flies, and the real whereabouts of the brother and sister could not be found.

Robot dogs walked out of the city one after another, running towards the young man walking towards him like a warrior.

Before watching it, he was still wondering whether the second animated short film was a follow-up to the first animated short film. The first animated short film really made him feel uneasy and quite depressed.

And Wu Heng also learned the reason from the boy's instructions to the little girl.

Until the sun sets, the car stops.

The vehicle stopped on the side of the road. Not far away was an abandoned gas station. The vehicle did not have much gas. The boy found the location of the gas station based on a worn map. The boy took out a gas station from the trunk of the car.

The tin box, through the car window, gently and sternly told the little girl not to make a sound or get out of the car, and then walked to the gas station alone.

But the teenagers are not discouraged, because their parents, their relatives, and all the adults in the settlement firmly believe that there must be humans like them in some corner of the world who still insist on living together.

The teenager didn't seem disappointed that the radio station couldn't find any traces of human activity. Perhaps it was because their search was no longer a day or two, and they were already used to disappointment.

…

Then the young man carried a long shotgun on his back, facing the sun with his bleeding cheek, and walked towards the city.

The picture shows Wu Heng's somewhat blurry vision overlooking the wasteland-like wilderness.

Before the boy and Wu Heng in front of the screen could smile, the robot dog shot a small black ball from its back before dying. Then the black ball exploded, like a goddess scattering flowers, tracking tiny particles one by one.

The weapon was shot into the boy's head, cheek and body.

Wu Heng had to admit that his appetite was whetted by this setting. Although he still didn't know what kind of monster or thing would hunt them, it didn't stop him from being extremely nervous when he didn't even see a single hanging hair.

became tense.

"Interesting..." Wu Heng's slightly relaxed nerves became aroused again. Maybe it is indeed the end of the world, but it is definitely the end of the world with dangers. What danger is it?

It seemed like the kind of simulation video that Wu Heng had seen of a city that had been abandoned for a few months. There were not only the sweet sounds of birds, the rustling of insects and small animals, but also touches of tough green from the cement.

, asphalt, emerges from the buildings, and even the overall tone of the animation becomes fresh and sunny.

The settlement was destroyed, and all the food and vegetables they grew were burned. The two of them are currently unable to be self-sufficient.

Although the little girl was only six or seven years old, it seemed that this was not the first time she had gone under the knife. The boy bit a piece of cloth in his mouth and endured the pain while the little girl used a scalpel to dig out a black heart from the wound on his arm.

of small beads.

The boy carefully picked up the refueling gun from a gas dispenser, but there was no oil in it. He tried several more refueling dispensers, and finally found that there was remaining gasoline in the last dispenser.

The little girl stood blankly in front of the messy ruins, with broken pieces of rubble, corpses thrown to the ground one by one, flies crawling and flying on the corpses, blood stains everywhere, and gray-black snowflakes that seemed to be burning embers.

, falling slowly from the sky.

Although the boy was disappointed, he was not discouraged and carefully searched around the convenience store and the gas station room next door. There was nothing unusual or dangerous.

But high energy often occurs when both the characters and the audience are unprepared, and Wu Heng's nerves that had just relaxed became tense again.

While Wu Heng lamented that the robot dog had any grudge against humans and seemed to be chasing them to the end of the world, he also realized that the brother and sister must have been marked by something.

So this is-

Because it was not a city, the boy no longer had to worry about loud noises attracting more robot dogs, so he took his sister and ran to the car, took out a long shotgun, rushed into the gas station, and shot it to pieces

The body of a robot dog.

The boy picked up a teddy bear and handed it to the little girl. The little girl hugged the teddy bear and showed a happy smile silently. Toys are luxury goods for them.

"So this is a robot dog..." Wu Heng finally knew the meaning of the title of this trailer.

But fortunately, they were inside a building, not in the open wilderness or on the road. The brother and sister had room to avoid him. In this way, the boy took the little girl and started to escape and avoid inside the building.

The brother and sister fled to the original gas station. This gas station had been carefully searched by the teenager before and there was no danger. The two planned to rest here for the night.

So he also believed it.

Then there was another chase inside the gas station, and this time it was even more thrilling than in the city. The moment the robot dog rushed over, the boy picked up the paint bucket next to him and poured milky white paint on the robot dog.

.

The little girl sat up and looked outside in horror. A robot dog slowly appeared, followed by another robot dog, and more robot dogs surrounded the little girl and slowly approached.

The young man carefully climbed up a shelf and prepared to take away a box of food on the top shelf. When he lifted the box, he saw a streamlined mouse-like thing with a sci-fi feel, but it was smaller than a mouse.

Much larger.

Before that, the boy had lowered his head and jumped to the ground alertly, but his arm was still injured by the bullet.

There was a rustling sound, and the black shadow made a strange noise.

Although the boy has not yet joined the "Urban Supplies Collection Team", he has heard the relevant precautions discussed by adults.

The little girl stood up happily and ran to her brother. Just when she was about to hold the boy's hand, she woke up.

Amidst the roar of the boy, the strong little girl stood in front of the driver's seat of the car with tears in her eyes. Her small body grasped the big steering wheel. The boy stretched out his arms with blood holes and walked through the open door.

He opened the car window, held the key and started the engine, looked deeply at the little girl, showed a bright smile, and watched the car drive away into the distance.

However, the animation did not give Wu Heng time to think. What followed was an exciting and terrifying "hide and seek". Combined with the cramped interior space of the building and the setting of being unable to make any sound, Wu Heng was always in a tight position.

among the emotions.

The boy returned to the car and filled up the gas. He seriously discussed with the little girl and asked her to stay at the gas station. He had checked that the gas station was safe. He was going to drive to the city on the distant skyline to collect supplies. They had already

There is not enough food.

Her brother told her that he had been rescued by others, and that the people who rescued him were people from other settlements. They invited the brother and sister to settle down in the settlement.

Until she was awakened by the dazzling sunlight. When the little girl opened her eyes, she found a figure standing five or six meters away from her. It was her brother!

A few blood-colored flowers splashed out from the gray-black ground that was covered with what looked like burning embers.

The moment the screen was shrouded in darkness, the words spoken by the little boy at the end of the first animated short film a week ago suddenly appeared in Wu Heng's mind with moist eyes.

"All cruel pleasures must end violently!"

This animated short film mainly refers to the content of the fifth episode of the fourth season of "Black Mirror", plus some settings of "A Quiet Place"
