Chapter 112
When Gu Huai regained consciousness, he felt that he was laying in a warm environment. This place was very dark and he could not see light.
It was still a confined space…. As soon as Gu Huai reached out, he felt some kind of hard object, which should be metal. Unlike the warm environment, the metal was still cold.
At the moment when the young man who was still not clear reached out and touched the metal plate, the mechanical creature that received the touch suddenly froze and looked down at its ‘belly’. The originally smooth data flow became disordered and knotted, and it was completely afraid to move at will.
“Du, Du-” The old models of robots were generally not equipped with language modules. This mechanical creature looking down at its belly made a very monotonous sound.
And the other mechanical creatures who heard the sound quickly dragged their damaged bodies to their companion, making the same sounds as the other.
Although he could not hear the outside world, Gu Huai could feel the space around him shaking obviously when he first touched the cold metal plate.
He just met some machines…..
The thought just popped up in less than a second.The metal plate Gu Huai just touched suddenly shrank upward. At this moment, a bright light made him squint slightly. At the same time, Gu Huai felt that the place he was lying on was automatically moving outward.
When this movement stopped, Gu Huai finally adapted to the light. He opened his eyes completely. At this time, Gu Huai suddenly turned to more than a dozen pairs of blue light eyes, which belonged to the mechanical creations.
“Du… Du… ” The same monotonous sound, the difference being that these mechanical creatures were slowing down their sound speed a lot. They gathered together and stared at the youth who had just been sent out of their companion’s “heat preservation room”.
No action was taken except them staring together. The mechanical creatures made of cold metal on the scene used their electronic eyes to perform several full-body scans on the youth. There were no facial features that could make expressions, but these mechanical creatures inexplicably showed a kind of attitude that in the eyes of ordinary people could be seen as attentive and serious.
The young man looked very healthy and had no wounds on his body. The low body temperature when he left the freezer had now returned to a normal level.
However, the determination of “health” with human beings was very complicated. It was far from enough to evaluate it from appearances alone, but there was no Grade C medical robot among them…
Gu Huai was stunned by the scene he saw. He was still lying on a metal plate. When he was facing a dozen pairs of electronic eyes around him, Gu Huai slowly got up from the metal plate.
The blue light on the eyes of the mechanical creations flickered and immediately followed the movements of the youth. The youth was very energetic, they analyzed and judged.
It was clear that these mechanical creatures had no intention of attacking him. They were even a little nervous about him. Gu Huai had already recovered from his minor stupor. Now he was trying to reach out to one of the mechanical creatures.
The body of this mechanical creature was quite large, and its metal parts had been damaged in many places. Some outer shells had even been pierced through the surface and looked tattered. However, even so, the threat posed by this mechanical creature had not decreased by half, because its two forearms were bright heavy beam weapons, which was obviously dangerous enough to be feared.
This mechanical creature was the one that had made a big crack in the thick ice before. Now it saw the youth reaching out to it, so it instinctively acted.
Due to the damage on its body parts, the friction of the metal parts made a bad noise when it moved. This mechanical creation slowly extended its left arm to the youth and let the youth sit on its arm.
Upon completion of this movement, this mechanical creature uttered a flat, synthesized sound, and its eyes kept looking down at the precious thing on its arm for a moment.
The human body was different from theirs, very warm and soft, opposite to their cold and hard bodies.
Gu Huai raised his head and looked at this mechanical creature’s electronic eyes which were bright with blue light for a while. When he heard the other person’s monotonous sound of “Du, Du” again, Gu Huai touched the robot’s arm and smiled slightly.
Other races were flesh and blood, but only human beings… No, only the touch of the youth in front of them made them feel warm and soft.
Sitting on the arm of this R-03 robot, Gu Huai clearly saw the confined space he had just stayed in. It was in the belly of a mechanical creature. Its inner structure looked a bit like a baking room.
All of a sudden, there was an illusion that he was fresh meat. Gu Huai stopped to look around, and his mood became a little delicate.
This kind of mood did not last for a long time. Gu Huai quickly looked around the environment with caution. He knew nothing about the background of the potential world and needed to understand it as soon as possible.
None of the mechanical creatures around had a language function. They relied on data flow to communicate with each other, and they could not communicate with people too complex. And Gu Huai couldn’t search for useful information from himself. His memory was blank.
They didn’t know what the youth was doing. The mechanical creatures on the scene were carefully observing his every move. This was their important treasure.
Looking around, Gu Huai initially judged that this was a long-abandoned building. The furniture that could be seen was covered with a thick layer of dust and the lamp tube was very old.
This building should have been attacked on a large scale. One wall had been broken, and had a big hole. Looking through this hole, Gu Huai saw a world of ice, and the outside was an endless glacier.
It was very cold. Although the cold wind did not blow in, the low temperature was still really felt. It could be tolerated. Gu Huai tried his best to adapt to the temperature and didn’t let himself behave differently.
Just then, a relatively small mechanical creature came over with a piece of clothing. It gently draped the clothing on the young man and then slightly tilted its head, “Du.”
This was the legacy of human beings who originally lived in this fortress. Although many years passed, this special combat uniform made of special materials could still be used.
The combat uniform had the function of keeping warm at low temperature. If he put on the uniform, the youth would not feel cold.
Seeing the young man put on the clothes he handed over, the small mechanical creature obviously flickered the blue light on its eyes.
The light from the window had been very bright for Gu Huai who just came out of the closed space, but after he adapted, although the current environment could only be said to not to be dim, it was still quite a long way from being bright.
“Is there a room for keeping materials, files or books?” Gu Huai asked the mechanical creatures surrounding him in a low and slow voice. Although the latter could not answer in words, they could understand what he said.
Manipulating its body to nod, the R-03 robot carrying the youth with its arms began to move its heavy body and steadily moved to the place the youth wished to reach.
Data room. This room was in the basement of this fortress.
At this time, other mechanical creatures in the field consciously followed. For a while, all kinds of moving noises echoed in the abandoned fortress with only one living body.
“I’m sorry, you don’t have permission to enter …”
“Boom-” Before the synthesized electronic voice finished, the closed metal door was damaged by a beam of light. The alarm sounded immediately after, but there was no guard in the abandoned fortress.
After this action, the blue light on the eyes of the R-03 robot carrying the youth faded slightly.
There was only a small amount of energy available, and the mechanical creatures that used this abandoned fortress as a temporary residence had been very thrifty from a long time ago. However, if it was to satisfy the wishes of the youth or to make them more comfortable, they would not calculate this energy consumption.
Human beings needed at least one small lamp to read in a dim environment.
The mechanical creatures gathered in the data storage room watched the young man take down several file bags from the bookshelf, sweep the dust on the desks and chairs with the file bags, and then sat up, as if ready to start reading the data.
The light tube in this storage room was no longer usable. It thought hard for a while. The R-03 robot that carried the youth lifted its arm to the position beside the youth, and then condensed a small energy light mass at the front end of its beam weapon.
This should be a small lamp.
The thoughts of the mechanical creatures on the scene were like this. They quietly stayed where they were, silently watching and guarding the black-haired youth in front of them.
