Chapter 40 Farewell

Xiang Shan opened his eyes.According to the schedule, today is the day when the welfare officer will announce the restoration of asylum.

It was also when he was scheduled to leave the town.

Now that that inexplicable turmoil has passed, it doesn't make much sense for him to stay here any longer.Also, while he doesn't remember who he is, at least he can be sure that he must have been a famous villain in the past.He felt uncomfortable just being in a place under official surveillance.

Need to go away, into the wilderness.

At this time, Xiang Shan's prosthetic body has changed again compared to half a month ago.The outer armor that was damaged during the battle with Leif has been recast.This time, the curve of his outer armor is more slender, but the chest and back are thicker than before, apparently stuffed with new machinery.The entire outer armor was painted a matte black.The lower body is still a prosthetic leg with artificial muscles, walking against joints.The hands are also taken from the swordsman Ronconi, but they have been painted in the same color as the outer armor.

It's not about aesthetics or "style consistency".Xiang Shan hadn't paid much attention to that condition yet.This is mainly to prevent space-based weapon satellites in the sky.

These days, he has looked at the starry sky more than once.With the support of the driver chips of the three warriors, his prosthetic eye can finally be opened with higher power.With the help of artificial eyes, he also found many celestial bodies moving at unusual speeds in the sky—that is, "artificial satellites."

In terms of quantity, the density of artificial satellites in this era has reached its limit.Xiang Shan estimated that the track was already densely packed with man-made objects.

Those are "eyes" suspended in the sky

He doesn't know how precise the optical scanning of this era can be, but the matte black is always harder to find than the shiny silver metallic color.

Knights must know how to deal with these things.

Of course, internal strength can follow the electromagnetic signal to invade the enemy's terminal equipment, disrupt the equipment and even seize control.But with the power of this humanoid prosthesis, Xiang Shan couldn't directly send the internal force into space no matter what frequency band the electromagnetic wave used.

He couldn't use his internal strength to cancel the detection of this kind of orbiting satellite that was thousands of miles away.

Unless you can control a transmitter with sufficient power.

In addition to "reconnaissance", there are also "attacks that may arrive at any time."

According to Xiang Shan's memory, the only limitation of "space-based weapons" is "the possibility of damaging important property."If a knight is discovered in the wilderness, what awaits him is the focus of the space-based weapon satellite.

Xiang Shan looked around.The elderly and handicapped people around the waste parts recycling bin are all stuck in the corner like dead machines.The mayor was afraid that these guys would collide with the welfare officer, so he closed the prosthetic body of these people in advance and put them in a state of suspended animation.Xiang Shan was not very comfortable with this approach.In the past era, the function of "closing the prosthetic body" could not be authorized by others.Only the "biological brain directly connected to the prosthetic body" can order the motor part of the prosthetic body to shut down through neural signals.But in this day and age, such things seem to be commonplace.

Xiangshan glanced at another machine in the corner.The infrared signal from the prosthetic eye penetrated the machine.Then, it stood up tremblingly.

It is a four-legged machine, almost two meters high.Xiang Shan disassembled the parts of Leif's prosthetic leg, and then refitted the power structure in it on the skeleton he commissioned the village chief to make.This machine has four legs dragging a rectangular table top, and there are two prosthetic eyes in front of it.

Longconi's driver chip is installed in a small metal box under the prosthetic eye.

Xiang Shan's body code name for this thing is "Donkey". "Donkey" is a pack animal robot.

Although on a smooth road, the efficiency of the tire is far greater than that of the backward structure of the leg, but it is difficult for the tire to cross complex terrain.Under this premise, multi-legged robots still make sense.

This thing will be responsible for carrying what remains of Leif, Paulus, Ronconi, and Madden Quay.In addition, it is also a "spare prosthetic body" itself.

No words needed.By staring at the "donkey"'s prosthetic eye, Xiang Shan can give the command to "follow".

He walked out the gate.The street is very quiet, no one is there.Only the other side of the town has some flying dust.Apparently, the residents gathered in the square again, waiting for the arrival of the welfare officer.

Xiang Shan glanced over there.

Well, the little guy didn't come over in the end either.

Xiang Shan shook his head.There is no reason to talk about children's awkwardness.

He walked a few steps and soon came to the other side of the town.Here is a raw material storage yard.Going further outside is the garbage dump that the residents depend on for survival.Xiang Shan planned to go in this direction, pass through the ruins of the battlefield, and go to the wilderness where almost no townspeople have ever been.

Xiang Shan stood on the edge of the garbage dump, turned around, and looked at the recycling bin town.

"Tsk, tsk tsk, it's such a lousy place, yet I still feel a little bit reluctant." Xiang Shan shook his head, "I have to find a way to get back more of my memory, otherwise, what a waste of money. Everyone thinks it’s a good thing…”

At this time, a cloud of smoke was approaching quickly.Maybe someone came looking for me.Take back your steps towards the mountain.

Not long after, Yulia appeared in Xiangshan's sight.A cloth strip is tied to her rearview mirror.The mayor was lying on the side of her truck.

Xiang Shan was a little strange: "Ms. Yulia? Mr. Mayor? Why are you two here?"

He was indeed quite surprised.At this time, the residents of the town should all be welcoming the welfare officer.

The mayor shrugged his shoulders and said embarrassingly: "We are just here to see you off, the martyr. You have been in our town for so long, and you have helped our town a lot..."

Yulia was straightforward: "I asked the mayor to come with me. You told Yuki earlier that there is one thing that must be returned to you before you leave. I don't have a prosthetic hand that can be easily retrieved, so I have to take it with me. The mayor is here."

The mayor removed what was tied to Yulia's rearview mirror.It was a rayon fabric with a driver chip inside.

That's Yuki's spare chip.Xiangshan made some changes and banned some external interference ports.

This is what Xiang Shan did to keep his own secret.In his original thinking, if he wanted to teach his apprentice something real, he had to find a way to get him out of those potential monitoring.But this stuff is tantamount to saying "I'm a rebel" to those in power.So Xiang Shan told Yuki very early on that if he separated from him, Yuki would have to discard that chip by himself.

It looked like Yuki at least remembered that.

"The kid is making trouble..." Xiang Shan glanced at Yulia and the mayor.

It looks like Yulia doesn't fully trust the mayor.This thing should have been wrapped around Yulia's rearview mirror by Yuki himself.She didn't hand it over to the mayor, perhaps because she was afraid that the mayor had hidden the chip in private, and this behavior might implicate her and Yuki.But she was really afraid that the chip would fall off halfway, and she wouldn't be able to pick it up, and she would offend the "thug" Xiang Shan in the end.

"Why bother? I just said that it's best not to have this thing checked. If there is a risk of being checked, just destroy it yourself."

As Xiang Shan spoke, he connected the chip to the interface on his wrist and formatted it.

He threw the chip to the mayor: "That's fine."

"Haha..." The mayor smiled cautiously, "Shouldn't the righteous man stay for a few more days?"

"Forget it. The town is kind to me. I helped you repel a wave of thugs, and then guarded them for so many days, which can be regarded as repaying the favor." Xiang Shan shook his head: "Next, I have some things of my own to deal with."

The mayor turned pale with shock: "We didn't mean that..."

Xiang Shan ignored the old man, but turned to Yulia: "Ma'am, please tell Yuki that boy, I am very disappointed with his performance in the last few days. Do you understand, I am very disappointed! Knowledge is the most important thing in this world. The most precious thing. I never think that I don’t have enough time to teach everything. This kind of thing that someone can teach but can’t learn can’t be done without criticism.”

Yulia was silent for a while, so that Xiang Shan began to wonder if this guy didn't want to talk to him at all.After a while, a voice came out of Yulia's speaker: "It's my idea not to allow Yuki to come over. Please don't embarrass my son."

Xiang Shan smiled: "I don't think I have the chance to embarrass your son anymore. I really have to leave."

Yulia breathed a sigh of relief.She was indeed quite afraid of such a thing.

If Xiang Shan harbored any malice towards her and Yuki, the mother and son would have no way to resist.

"It seems that you really like that kid Yuki..." Yulia said.

"After all, he was the one who dug me out of the garbage dump. I only have one apprentice at the moment." Xiang Shan waved his hand.

Yulia thought for a moment and asked, "Then, is the knowledge you gave Yuki really important?"

Xiang Shan nodded: "I think, if he doesn't go astray, after many years, he should be able to live a more human-like life - of course, it doesn't matter if he forgets."

A gust of wind blows.The sand and dust made visibility plummet.Glancing back at Xiangshan, the familiar ground-effect aircraft was already on the horizon.He nodded: "It's time to go."

Sure enough, the hero should be picking up something with a spear, walking into the wind and sand, and slowly disappearing.

Yulia started the engine [this is probably some kind of etiquette that Xiang Shan couldn't understand], and said to Xiang Shan: "Thank you for educating my child. Shan, I hope you can go well..."

"No, it's impossible."

At this time, another voice broke into the conversation.
