messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 55 Wandering With The Planet
The sun shines brightly in the sky, and through the thin clouds, it shines on the ruins of the city, on the desolate land, on the abandoned silent planet.

In the past, it was obviously the sun's favorite child, but now it has become like this.

In the dilapidated ruins, the glorious and prosperous civilization of the past can still be seen vaguely, the civilization that belongs to human beings, and the civilization that belongs to the earth.But now, these civilizations can only be silent under the broken bridges, collapsed high-rise buildings, and empty streets, and no one can tell them anymore.

"Here, here, here." On the empty street, any sound is so obvious, not to mention the huge footsteps of B3068.

It moved forward, and the old iron plates on its body rubbed against each other, making a harsh sound, which echoed on the street.

It lowered its head, held two hands, and twirled its fingers.It looked like a shy girl, but it was a huge robot.

Obviously its movements don't match its looks, but it's certainly tense.

Lifting his eyes secretly, B3068 looked at another person beside him, that was a girl in black robe.

The girl's side face couldn't tell whether it was soft or indifferent, it was a flat expression without any emotion.

Her short black hair hung by her ears, swaying gently with the breeze blowing on her face.

Her appearance is very attractive, no matter what kind of aesthetics is used, she is like the most beautiful work carved by the most exquisite craftsman, endowed with all the beauty in this world.

But then, like a prank, the craftsman finally drew a scar on her face, ruining this perfect work, and everyone must feel sorry for her.

But B3068 doesn't understand these things, what it pays attention to is the girl's eyes.

Those eyes are as dark as the night, but can reflect the starry sky.

Those eyes that had watched it last night made the only sound in the silence.

For this completely different life, B3068 is very curious and looking forward to it, but dare not approach it, because the other party seems to be too beautiful, which makes it a little ashamed.

Looking down at his broken and old parts, B3068's light green eyes dimmed a bit, and then secretly looked at Chu again.

Maybe because he noticed B3068's sight, he turned his head and looked at it.

Seeing that the girl discovered his peeping, B3068 quickly looked away. It looked at the sky, pretended to wave its hands casually, and made a beeping electronic sound.

It seems that it was just enjoying the scenery of the sky from just now, although there is nothing in that sky.

Looking at B3068 for the first time, of course she doesn't mind B3068 looking at her. What she was thinking about just now was the task.

Although she knows that her mission is to accompany B3068 for the rest of her life, she doesn't really know what companionship is.

Is it okay to just be by its side?

Thinking about it, Chu moved his steps and approached B3068.

B3068 became even more nervous, and even walked with the same hands and feet, making him wonder if there was an error in his own program.

At this time, Chu raised a hand, and she gently held B3068's rough metal palm.

The gray-red rust stained Chu's hands, but she did not let go, but looked at B3068.

Since it was companionship, she wondered if she should be more intimate.

Holding each other's hand is the only way Chu can think of to show intimacy.

She didn't know if it would work.

But in the next moment, B3068's footsteps that were still buried in front of him stopped, its swaying arms also stopped, and its huge body froze in place.

It felt that Chu Zheng was holding his palm.

"beep--"

The light on the chest lighted up.

It made that sound like the heart stopped beating again.

quite a while.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, a puff of white steam emerged from the top of B3068's head.

Its motherboard overheated, so that the automatic cooling function was turned on.

Chu stood aside, looking at B3068 suspiciously.

At least in the eyes of others, its situation is not optimistic.

"Sorry, can't this work?"

Chu calmly apologized, and let go of B3068's hand, she thought she had done something wrong.

B3068 recovered a bit, and when it heard Chu's apology, it waved its hands in a panic while emitting steam.

"Dididi." The electronic audio rang rapidly.

At first, he seemed to understand the meaning of B3068, but he didn't seem to understand. He raised his head in confusion and looked at this huge robot.

"Here."

In the end, B3068 lowered its head and lowered its hands, as if giving up on explaining, because it couldn't explain itself.

The two started walking along the road again.

But this time, B3068 walked by Chu's side.

It looked down at its dilapidated self, hesitated for a long time, and finally stretched out its hand slowly, carefully holding Chu's palm.

Its gentleness is very clumsy, for fear that I will hurt Chu with too much force.

Chu did not refuse, feeling the huge and rough palm holding her, she walked silently.

But is this a kind of companionship? She doesn't know.

But the souls of the two lonely people seem to be getting closer.

Among the ruins, a giant robot walks down the road holding a girl's hand.

They were like two wanderers, the last wanderers.

With this empty planet, wandering aimlessly in the endless silent space.

······
When humans created B3068, they gave it the only instruction to find an environment where it can still survive.

It has never given up on this instruction, first of all it will not violate its procedures, and second, it also looks forward to the day when it finds a suitable environment.

It thought that if it could find the right environment, its creators would return, they would rebuild their home, and it would not be so alone anymore.

It looks forward to the day when human beings can come back to the earth from the vast starry sky.

At that time, this dead planet will definitely come back to life.

It thinks so.

So it has been looking for it, and it is still looking for when its companions are damaged one by one, and one by one betrays the order and becomes a chaotic robot.

Even when human beings have given up, it is still looking for it and has never given up.

Maybe, it's the last guy still holding on to this thing, but maybe it's not, who knows.

The sky was dark, and there was a brown-red smog under the clouds.

Sitting on the roof of a tall building, I looked down at the wreckage of the city.

This place is very similar to the Apostle Wasteland, it is empty, and it looks the same everywhere you look.

Standing behind Chu, B3068 raised its hand above its head, and an opening was automatically split on its finger, collecting air samples around it.

It's checking the air quality here.

After holding it up for a while, B3068 put down his hand, and a few rows of numbers appeared on a display screen on its arm.

B3068 looked at the numbers on the display screen, and the light green light in his eyes flickered.

In fact, it has tested the air quality of this place before, and its database still retains the data it collected here before.

Compared with that time, the air quality is now better. Although it still does not meet the requirements set by human beings, it thinks this is a good phenomenon.

While B3068 and Chu were staying on the roof, a figure walked by in the street downstairs, it was a robot.

"Z, Z, Z."

When it walks, the sound of iron plate friction is almost exactly the same as B3068, and even its appearance is almost the same as B3068.

The slight difference is that the number on its chest is C6752, and its eyes are shining red.
