Little Robot on the Run

Chapter 30



Chapter 30

Moving again.

When Nan An woke up the next day, it was six o'clock in the morning.He got up and looked out the window, under the foggy sky, the neon lights at night were still on, mixed in the whitish skylight.

After a few seconds, Nan An rubbed his eyes and yawned softly.

After a while, he suddenly felt something, and turned his head to look—then saw that the bed beside him was empty, and the squarely folded quilt and pillows were placed on it.

Lin Ze seemed to have left the house early.

Nanan got out of bed, wrapped himself in a small blanket and sat at the table, habitually unpacked the biscuits and milk, and began to enjoy the breakfast given to him by this human being.

Very peace of mind.

While eating, the monitor's bracelet accidentally rubbed against it.

Nan An was slightly stunned, his eyes lingering on it for a few seconds.

He shook his slender white wrist, and saw the bracelet following his movements, making extremely subtle beeping sounds.

For some reason, he remembered "The Law of the Rose" last night.

And Lin Ze's cold voice.

After experiencing last night, Nan'an decided to stay with this human being for a while longer.

At the very least, he has to wait for Rose City to control the infection, and then find the brain chip, and tell Lin Ze to protect it.

And now he is most likely to be a bionic robot, although from now on, except for the difference in appearance and action thinking, he is no different from ordinary robots.

Oh no.

He seems to be able to eat more than other robots.

On this point, Nan'an feels that it needs to be verified.

After all... it just ate a little more than other robots.

Nan'an finished his breakfast today, and by the way, got rid of the two chocolates hidden under the table, and patted his stomach with satisfaction.

Taking advantage of Lin Ze's absence, Nan'an quietly opened the drawer, took out the postcards he had hidden before, and tore them all into pieces.

Just as he was throwing the piece of paper into the trash can, there was a crisp doorbell from behind the door—it seemed to be the docking staff of the institute.So Nan'an tied up the garbage bag and ran towards the door.

But in just a second, Nan'an thought of what Lin Ze said.

If the police come to the door, no matter what he says, he needs to inform Lin Ze.

The code to turn it into a small robot is that when a stranger knocks on the door, you need to take a look at it first to identify whether it is a bad person before opening the door.

Nan'an is very strict.

But this time there were indeed people from the institute outside the door—Derya, as well as several unknown researchers.

Since the chip infection incident, many researchers have also been infected, so every day, Nan'an can see new researchers joining the staff in the lobby on the first floor, as well as other support staff from Rose City.

"Hi." Nan'an whispered.

Delia smiled: "Dr. Lin's order, we are responsible for the evacuation of this building."

Nan'an nodded.

Seeing four or five researchers coming in, Nan'an helped carry the boxes out together. Except for his two big boxes, Lin Ze's things seemed to be very few, only a thin long box.

According to Delya, the personnel of the investigation team are basically based on attendance, and since Lin Ze is still in charge, the research institute is obviously more suitable than a temporary place to live.

Downstairs is a five-story truck. On the third to fifth floors, there are two robots standing with traction belts in their hands. They can easily pull residents' luggage into the car with just one hand.

As for the remaining first and second floors, they are used to evacuate residents. Fifty seats are placed on each floor, and the electronic screen behind the chairs scrolls to display the corresponding names, ID numbers, and living floors.

Nan'an found his name in the fourth row on the second floor.

He sat down with his carry-on bag.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Delia's name written on the left seat—it seemed that they were grouped together as employees of the institute.

After sitting down, Nan An looked around curiously.

His seat is by the window, and above it is a rolling electronic belt, which helps residents carry their carry-on luggage to the seat.

So Nan An stared curiously for a few seconds.

After a while, the bus started.

Accompanied by the sound of the engine, the street scene he was in quickly reversed. Nan'an lay in front of the window, watching the Dashan street getting farther and farther away from him, and finally disappeared and dissipated in the white mist.The neon lights were turned on again, and they entered the business district, the train levitated with a roar, not far away, among those buildings, there were advertisements with red lips and holographic heads.

Nan An watched quietly.

At this moment, he heard Delya say: "The location of this evacuation is relatively far away, on the north side of the city."

Nan'an turned his head: "North side?"

"Yes." Delia said, "It used to be an industrial area, but recently it was demolished and several schools and residences were rebuilt."

Nan'an: "Will Dr. Lin be with you?"

He knew that in the evacuation plan, they were divided into four Rose cities, and they were not unified.The base will allocate according to the actual situation. For example, couples or friends can apply for suites in advance, and the base staff will make corresponding adjustments based on their own judgment.

Delia was stunned, as if he hadn't reacted. After a few seconds, he squinted his eyes, as if he understood something, so he smiled and said, "Check it out for you."

Nan'an's voice was full of unconscious joy: "Yes."

"You have a really good relationship with Dr. Lin." Delia said, "I haven't said a word to Dr. Lin since I joined the job."

Nan An opened his eyes wide, very puzzled.

"Doesn't he talk to other people?"

"The only thing we're talking about is work." Delya said, "Although I've been employed not long ago, I heard from seniors in the institute that Dr. Lin is difficult to get along with, and no one will talk to him about anything else."

He looked at Nan'an, and added: "You look different, come on."

Nan'an didn't understand why Delia wanted to say come on, and he didn't know what was different.

But he still whispered thank you.

They were silent for a while.

At this moment, something suddenly rang.

Nan'an followed the sound and found that it was the radio that he had picked up earlier, and it was continuously emitting the sound of electricity.

Nan'an held it in his palm and pressed it several times, but he still heard the popping sound.

He thought about it, but didn't want to understand.

It can be used normally yesterday, and there is no trace of water ingress, so how could it be broken?

Nan'an didn't understand.

So I patted it with my small hands again, frowning, and then patted it back and forth, left and right.

"The solar storm is coming," Delia said, "and it will affect the radio signal."

Seeing that Nan'an's eyes fell on himself, he added: "Solar storms will affect human communication. This is a high-energy charged particle flow, which is violently released by the sun, disrupting the earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere, and all equipment. ——Including robots, chips, and communication tools will all be affected.”

Nan An frowned.

He couldn't understand these words, which was very similar to the science popularization given to him by the Kepler base, which always liked to mix a lot of advanced vocabulary.

but.

In Delya's explanation, Nan'an captured a message.

"Robots will also be affected?" Nan'an asked.

Delya nodded: "Yes."

"All electronic equipment will fail," he said, "so, during that time, we also need to manually cut off all communications, and completely shut down the entire city after everyone has safely evacuated into the underground base.

At that time, not only living areas, but also industrial areas and commercial streets will all be cut off from the power supply to meet the solar storm—this is called the stationary plan. "

Nan An: "That's right."

——So, will he be affected too?

Nan'an didn't know about this, but judging from his experience in the desert before, he didn't seem to belong to the affected category, including now, and everything seemed to be quite normal.

Accompanied by two beeps, the sweet voice of the bus girl sounded——

"There are still 10 minutes to arrive at Weipu Road. When you get off the bus, please don't forget your belongings."

Nan'an put the radio in a small bag.

At this time, the bus was still shuttling through the fog, and the rainwater hit the windows, and when it meandered down, it took on neon colors, like colorful little tadpoles.

Gradually, the factory buildings in the industrial area appeared in sight.

Nan'an was the industrial area where humans were seen for the first time.

A huge chimney stands on the factory building, and there is a water circulation system in front of it. These are two pentagonal buildings, standing symmetrically, with a height of [-] floors. They are connected to two different pipes to treat rainwater-one system is responsible for purifying water and transporting it to humans. community, and the other assumes the power supply for humans, converting part of the water energy into electricity.

After that, the stretches of low bungalows are the power generation area, with densely packed generators, placed in the open air, like small boxes, generating electricity, transporting the electricity to the resource department of the base, and then distributing it uniformly.

And their residential area is just behind the power generation area.

The surrounding area is desolate, but the residential area rises like a lonely steel forest.

They are put together, each building has [-] floors, close together, this is the outer ring area, and in the inner ring of the residential area, the living area is established, and then the inner ring - several schools are placed, Used to house evacuated cubs.

Despite being in the human world for a long time, Nan'an still opened his eyes wide.

He lay down in front of the window, watching all this intently.

Then I heard Delya say: "We are here, let's get off."

Nan An obediently followed the researchers out of the car.

He was assigned to a residence in the inner ring, room 3025.

It's a small room, but clean and tidy, with a desk, single bed, and an open kitchenette.

Nan'an dragged his luggage in.

For some reason, although it was no different from the previous human room, he always felt that there was something indescribably inconsistent.This came from an instinctive intuition, hiding an indescribable sense of incongruity.

So Nan'an turned around and dragged Lin Ze's luggage into the room by the way.

I don't know where this human went.

What residence was allocated.

Regarding this point, Nan An knew that it was entirely up to the members of the base to decide. After all, he and Lin Ze did not have to be together, unlike those couples or couples who applied to live together.

Nan'an admitted that he was a little bit reluctant yesterday, but as a little robot who is good at observing the human world, he feels that every human being will have such emotions when changing to a new environment.

After waiting for a new place, you will have a strong ability to adapt.

Nan'an felt that he was very adaptable.

Without any hesitation, he couldn't wait to open the box, and put the sticker book, cookies and candy cans on the table—according to the past, if the big villain was around, these things would have to be hidden and tucked away, which took a lot of effort .

But now, does that mean... he can eat cookies as he pleases?

There is no need to speculate on any intentions of this big villain anymore?

Nan An: "Great."

He instantly forgot the previous reluctance, hurriedly threw the radio and the law of roses on the bed, and then happily went to the life supermarket beside him.

Candy, biscuits, chocolate.

Not one fell.

Great.

Nan An smiled until his eyes narrowed, like a completely liberated little robot.

After paying the bill, he raised his head, holding the snack bag higher than his head, swaying step by step, and walked back leisurely.

Fortunately, the supermarket is not far from the residence, and Nan'an returned to the residence in just 10 minutes.

The snack bag fell to the ground, and the chocolates and cookies were scattered all over the floor, and Nan An didn't clean it up. He touched the snacks with his little hands, as if he was holding a priceless treasure, and smiled happily—until he caught a glimpse of a door out of the corner of his eye.

It is located on the right side of the open kitchen. It is a silver iron door, very hidden, and there seems to be something written on it.

Nan'an stared at it for a few seconds.

He finally knew what that sense of disobedience was.

Obviously a single room.

But there was an extra door out of thin air.

Just thinking this way, Nan An trembled subconsciously.

very scary.

He glanced around vigilantly, then got up carefully, and brought a drink bottle as a Nan'an-style self-defense tool.

Nan An walked there step by step, frowning tightly.

It's a little robot in full alert mode.

When he moved to the door and raised his head with a frown, he saw a silver medal hanging on it.

"Family...suite?" Nan An read out in confusion.

He didn't understand what this meant, so he carefully pulled the doorknob and opened the door - he saw the same room layout, with an open kitchen, a small sofa, a single bed, everything was the same as his Same as that one.

The only difference is people.

Before he had time to wonder, he met those familiar silver eyes. At this time, the other party just came in, and he didn't put down the ID card and room magnetic card in his hand.

Nan'an: "??"

What's the situation?

The author says:

Thanks to base members for their judgment.

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
