messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 68

After B3068 came back that night, he was always very strange, as if he was preparing for something, but he didn't tell Chu.

The first thing I knew was that every night after that, B3068 would go out secretly, but I didn't know where it was going.

During the day, it would stand under the sun and bask in the sun, reducing its actions, as if it was storing energy.

night.

Lying on the bed at the beginning, it seemed that he was already resting.

B3068 opened his eyes in the room, and it is the same tonight, it is about to go out.

It stood up as quietly as possible, but its heavy body and rusty joints simply wouldn't allow it to do so.

"Here." The sound of metal friction sounded, and B3068 nervously looked back at Chu on the bed.

Chu still lay there without making a sound, and seemed to be in a deep sleep.

"drop······"

As if relieved, B3068 bent down and walked out of the door of the hut.

After the robot left, Chu woke up in the room.

She sat up and looked at B3068 walking away through the window of the hut.

She woke up early, in fact, the sound of B3068 walking around was hard not to wake her up.It's just that she pretended not to wake up, because B3068 didn't seem to want her to wake up.

Until the figure of B3068 disappeared into the night, he sat by the window for the first time, retracted his gaze, and lowered his head.

The moonlight outside the window outlines the outline of her profile.

She didn't know what B3068 was going to do.

She doesn't like this feeling very much, it makes her feel that she has not fulfilled her duty as an apostle.

But after sitting quietly for a while, Chu still lay down. B3068 didn't want to talk, so she didn't ask more questions.

Expressionlessly, he picked up the pillow beside him, pressed it on his face, and let himself fall asleep again.

······
In the next few days, the B3068 was like this, storing energy during the day and going out at night, whether it was sunny or rainy.

It is worth mentioning that B3068 finally discovered the function of the umbrella it brought back from the store.

Although it is basically resting during the day, B3068 looks more and more tired. After all, this violates its original functional design.

However, it still insists on going out every night, as if there is something that must be done well.

This kind of life pattern made the communication between B3068 and Chu less and less, and later, even only in the morning, they would say a word or two to each other.

The work of taking care of the weeds was gradually handed over to Chu. Fortunately, those weeds had gotten used to Chu's breath, and they were no longer as timid as they were at first, otherwise their growth would probably be affected.

Putting the shower aside, I finished watering the weeds at the beginning, and listened to the faint sound of the wind around me.

Today's weather is not bad, at least the sun can be seen, and the brownish-yellow fog in the sky is not so obvious.

Chu turned his head to look at B3068 not far away.

B3068 stood there with eyes closed, it was still dormant, and the energy panels on its body were propped up to face the sunlight.

Chu looked at B3068 in silence for a while, turned around, picked up the shower again, and watered the weeds a little.

"If you have anything, you can tell me."

Chu lowered his eyes and said softly.

But B3068 is in hibernation and cannot hear her.

At first I knew it couldn't hear it.

The wind blows lightly, and the green grass is covered with crystal dew.

The days that were too quiet passed by like this day by day.

Until one night, when Chu was about to rest as usual, B3068 suddenly patted her on the shoulder.

"Drip."

Chu was stunned for a moment, and looked at the robot.

"Is there a problem?"

B3068 held his palm, looked at Chu with flickering eyes, and spoke with its unique electronic audio.

"Drip drip."

It said it wanted to take Chu to a place.

······
On the dark street, B3068 covered Chu's eyes with his hands and led her forward.

At the beginning, I didn't know where B3068 was taking her, but in fact, even without looking, she could feel the surrounding environment.

They walked for a long time on the empty street, before B3068 came to the front of a building with Chu Chu, which seemed to be a department store, Chu Chu felt it.

But it's dark inside, and there's nothing special about it.

At first, he was slightly puzzled, but B3068 motioned her to wait a moment.

"Drip."

It stretched out a hand and pulled a switch next to it.

At the same time, he let go of Chu's eyes.

"Snapped."

The sound of the switch sounds.

He opened his eyes and looked in front of him.

In front of her eyes, the department store lit up, amidst the countless lights.

In this not-so-large building, countless lights were hung, and they emitted bright light, illuminating the night.

And in the middle of all the lights, the central lamp post on the square began to rotate, illuminating the surroundings with colors that were not enough to be called brilliant.

Dilapidated department stores, light bulbs hanging from wires, old monotonous lampposts.

All of this is not beautiful, even a little crude.

However, this is already the grandest banquet that B3068 can prepare for the first time on this ruins.

Although this banquet doesn't even have food, and there are only two of them.

Standing in front of the light for the first time, the light is not bright, but there is no shadow.

When looking at the light for the first time, B3068 hurriedly ran to a machine, which he found in this shop.

It took a tape and put it into the machine. After a while of stumbling, a song began to play in the machine.

It's still the same song, without lyrics, only the music that will quietly flow into people's hearts.

Amidst the music, B3068 turned around, bent down, and awkwardly made a funny invitation to Chu.

To be honest, its bulky body is not suitable for such elegant etiquette.

B3068 lowered his head nervously.

Light and sound, these are the most beautiful things it has, but it is still afraid and does not like it at first.

At this moment, it felt its own hand holding something, it raised its head, and found that Chuzheng was standing in front of it, holding its outstretched hand.

"Thank you." Chu said softly, with a slight smile on his face.

Enough is enough, B3068 thinks so.

"Drip."

The clumsy and timid robot seemed to be smirking, and scratched its head. It just wanted to give Chu a present, but unfortunately it had almost nothing, so it had to give everything it had.

It has the ruins, it has the solitude, it has the nights to gaze at the stars, it has a song, and now a few more light bulbs.

These are all it has, and you can take whatever you want with you.

But what it doesn't know is that Chu will only take one thing away, and that may be the only thing it doesn't want to give to Chu, its sin.

No way, because it's stupid, isn't it.

This solitary banquet for two lasted half the night, and until the power reserve ran out, the lights of the department stores flickered on the dark planet, and calm songs sang to the desolation.

The two quietly enjoyed this simple banquet that could not be called a banquet.

Before everything fell into darkness again, Chu suddenly said to B3068.

"It's your turn to water tomorrow."

B3068's eyes flickered blankly, and then nodded embarrassingly.

"Drip."
