messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 66 The Right Choice
The randomly selected historical records are still playing continuously on the monitor. In those records, there are human wars, the birth of robots, and the destruction of everything.

B3068 huddled in the corner, hugging the weed in its hand.

Its eyes are half-drowned, and the dim light in the indicator light on its chest beats one after another, as if it is its heartbeat.

Its creator destroyed the world and left it, leaving it to suffer alone.

Let it be here, in the wreckage they left behind, to continue the mission they had given up on.

Human beings are selfish, even human beings admit it, they are the most beloved children of the earth, so that they are pampered too much.

But B3068 didn't know, it thought that human beings were forced to leave, to leave their homeland and go far away.He originally thought that human beings are gentle and kind. As the primates of all things, they will take care of all things and create new lives.

But now, humans have personally told it.

Humans are sinners, their creators, responsible for making this planet obsolete.

Outside the window of the factory, the sky is filled with brown smoke, where the earth seems to be accusing human beings of their sins.

Heartbreakingly accusing her children of betrayal.

B3068 didn't understand what it should do, its program began to flash quickly, and its electronic audio became a little rushed.

Chu didn't know when she came to this factory, but among the countless robots, she saw B3068 at first sight.

Because only it is so scarred.

Passing through the silent robot, Chu came to B3068's side.

The video on the monitor was still playing in a loop, Chu looked up at the scene in the video, she saw the weapons, the war, and people's remorse after the war.

She saw what B3068 saw, and she also saw this grand banquet of evil, the black mist screaming hideously on this planet.

Then, when everything was over and all the evils subsided, the remaining endless loneliness was unreservedly piled up on B3068.

By Chu's side, the green light in B3068's eyes is getting darker and darker, almost disappearing slowly.

At this time, Chu asked aloud.

"Are you still willing to continue?"

The first voice broke the silence.

It was like the hand she stretched out to B3068 under the starry sky on the first night of her arrival, breaking its loneliness.

"drop."

The green light in B3068's eyes slowly lit up again, and it looked up at Chu, just like it looked at her when it first looked at the Milky Way.

The dark eyes seemed to be able to reflect everything.

Silence for a moment.

Without hesitation, B3068 handed the wild grass in front of Chu.

And this is the choice it made, if its creator is a sinner, it is willing to atone for it.

Looking at the weeds in front of her for the first time, but did not pick them up, she continued to ask indifferently.

"If I tell you again, you will be shut down after finding a suitable environment. This is a program set by humans for you. Are you willing to continue?"

She didn't go to see B3068, because she could almost predict B3068's shock and anger after being deceived.

But I was wrong at first thought, B3068 was neither shocked nor angry.

The robot just froze for a while, and then raised the weeds in its hands to Chuzhi.

"Drip."

Same as before, its light green eyes are bright, as if showing off its achievements to Chu, looking forward to Chu being happy.

Chu was slightly startled, and looked at B3068. In the eyes of the robot, she didn't see any hesitation, nor any emotion mixed in, only the expectation as always.

After a long time, Chu cursed softly.

"Are you stupid."

"Didi." B3068 turned its head blankly, it didn't understand why Chu scolded itself.

A breeze came through the window, blowing the weeds in its hands.

It just made the decision it should make.

······
Chu and B3068 left the factory after that, and they took note of the location of the factory.

Although they haven't found a way to activate those robots, if any parts of B3068 break down in the future, they can come here to pick them up, so in general, this trip to the factory has been very rewarding.

The two returned to the hut on the wasteland, and B3068 planted weeds in the grass. As before, it sat quietly and watched the grass blades blowing gently.

When night falls, it's time to rest.

In the hut, Chu Chu lay on the bed with his eyes closed, and B3068 habitually lay down on the floor to prepare for dormancy.

But at this time, it heard the sound of getting up from behind, as if it had just stepped out of bed.

Before it could turn around, Chu had already lay down behind it, reaching out to hug it.

B3068's body froze for an instant.

"Drip."

It was so nervous that it could barely speak.

"Do not move."

Chu lay behind B3068 and said softly, her forehead resting on the back of the robot, her hands wrapped around its waist.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep silently.

She wants to accompany B3068's loneliness and take away its sins.

Not because of the mission, just because she wanted to.

In the hut, neither of them made a sound, they were equally lonely, and they also atone for others.

I don't know why, when I first leaned against B3068, I remembered the feeling when I leaned against that orc in the Apostle Wasteland.

Although it is a cold iron plate, it seems to be very warm.

She remembered that one night, she and the orc were sitting in a cave in the wilderness to rest, and she was sitting next to the orc, wanting to sleep.

At that time, it was raining outside the wasteland, and the sound of the rain rang softly in my ears.

The orc looked outside the cave, seeming to be thinking about something, when suddenly it said to her.

"Hey, if one day, only one of you and me survives, don't be merciful."

At that time, I remembered that I was only half asleep and half awake in response.

"Ah."

"Heh." The orc grinned, showing his sharp teeth, pretending to be fierce.

"I won't show mercy either."

But in the end, the orcs never touched her.

She remembered that when the orc's blood flowed through her palm, it was extraordinarily warm, and that day, the rain in the wasteland was extraordinarily cold.

It was unfortunate at first, because she was walking on a deserted and lonely road, with only mud and abyss waiting to swallow her up.

But she is also very lucky, because on this barren and lonely road, she has encountered a lot of tenderness.
