messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 73 The Best Blessing

Stepping on the slightly damp grass in the morning, Chu and B3068 stood on a hillside.

"Have you really made up your mind?"

Chu stood next to B3068 and asked.

B3068 raised its head. It looked up at the sky, or maybe it was looking up at the endless starry sky outside the sky, looking up at the direction where human beings left.

"Didi." Its crude electronic audio can't speak a full language, but sometimes it doesn't need so much language.

It has already made a decision, and then it only needs to act towards that decision. It is simple and clear, and there is no need for other choices.As a robot, that's what it does best.

Chu Chu didn't say anything to B3068, she watched B3068 raised his hand, and pointed the old and damaged metal palm to the clear sky.

The palm of the hand began to collect air samples, and the pale green anticipation in B3068's eyes became brighter and brighter.

It is looking forward to completing its mission, it is looking forward to the return of human beings, it is looking forward to the planet that is no longer broken, it is looking forward to the day when everything changes.

It shouldn't be too long before the detection data appeared on B3068's arm.

It has carefully checked the data on the display and confirmed the accuracy of each character.

The worn-out robot stood there for a while, then seemed to smile.

It sat down briskly, and passed its arm to Chu's face.

At the beginning, I didn't know what kind of data reached the standard, but the actions of B3068 have explained everything.

The test has passed. As an EDR robot, what B3068 needs to do now is to send a return signal to humans.

But it didn't do that the first time, because before that, there was a small celebration ceremony between it and Chu.

B3068 took a tape from the chest storage box, checked it carefully, and put it in its reader.

This is the tape it first listened to, the song under the stars, and the celebration between them has never been without this song.

Although in ordinary days, they have rarely celebrated anything.

Probably because too much time has passed, this same old tape only made a few vague sounds in the reader, and then lost its sound.

B3068 scratched its head helplessly, it had some regrets, because this was the last time, it hoped it would go smoothly.

Chu smiled slightly and sat next to the robot.

She looked at the distance seriously, as if the singing had already sounded in her ear.

So B3068 looked at Chu, Chu looked at the blue sky in the distance, as if he was back under the starry sky that day, the messenger looked up at the Milky Way, but the robot only looked at the messenger.

There is silence all around, only the rustling of the grass blades when the wind blows.

After a long time, Chu said.

"Good to hear."

The song is very pleasant, the sound of the wind blowing through the grass blades is very pleasant, and the sound of this world is also very pleasant.

Yes, in the silence, it seems that something that touches the soul can be heard.

B3068 also fell silent, it sat silently.

After a while, it scratched its fingers nervously, hesitated, took out another piece of paper from its storage box, and handed it to Chu.

This is what it prepared as a farewell gift.

Chu looked down, it was a painting.

There is a beautiful world in the painting, the sky, clouds, grass and rivers.

A black-haired girl is standing in the middle of the painting with her hands behind her back, standing in the middle of that world.She looked back outside the picture with a slight smile on her face.

The girl looked very similar to Chu, but there was no scar on her face, and her smile was as bright as the sun in the sky.

This is the most beautiful world in the eyes of B3068. Has it seen it with its own eyes? It has already seen it with its own eyes.

"Give it to me?" Chu asked.

"Didi." B3068 nodded.

"Thank you." Chu took over the painting from B3068.

She accepted the gift, but she didn't say that she couldn't take anything from this world, not even a painting.

After finishing everything, B3068 set up the signal transmitter on its shoulder, and it should do the last thing it has to do.

It recorded the landmark's position and then fed the signal into the transmitter.

It has been detected and suitable for the environment.

The signal transmitter was raised, and under the watchful eyes of B3068, the signal was shot into the endless sky, illuminating the long journey home.

B3068 finally sent its best wishes to this not-so-good world.

with its life.

As the signal came out, the green light in the robot's eyes gradually dimmed.

In the last moment of life, it carefully stretched out its hand, little by little, and gently held Chu's palm.

Chu lowered his eyes, and slowly took its hand in his backhand.

"3068." She asked the robot.

"Are you still alone?"

B3068 has no way to answer, most of its systems have started to shut down, but it has an answer in its heart.

It is not alone, it has been saved when the hand was stretched out to it in the darkness and silence.

With this answer, in silence, B3068's programs were closed one by one, the originally clear world gradually moved away from it, and it slowly closed its eyes.

But beside it, the world in front of Chu's eyes is slowly becoming clear.

Even the evil that is gradually gushing out is no longer such chaos and darkness.

When the evil black mist covered the green grass, Chu Jing sat there, letting the black mist pour into her body.

Just like B3068 chose to bring back human beings as a matter of course, Chu also chose to shoulder the crime as a matter of course.

Not because she has to, but because she wants to.

Because she's a villain from the corpse, because she's the most evil human being, isn't she?

She wants to atone for herself.

If there is no so-called evil in this world, if evil can be taken away, if there is such a person who is willing to bear all the evil.

What will the world be like?
When the black mist dissipates, will the light that symbolizes hope come again?
Chu Chu never thought about this, because it has nothing to do with her, what she has to do is to carry all the darkness before the light appeared.

After a long time, the black mist on the grass dissipated, and Chu's figure also dissipated.

The painting of the most beautiful world in the heart of the robot floated gently to the ground.

The robot sat there alone, looking up at the distant starry sky.

It is like a lifeless sculpture, but it is also it that gives new hope to all life on this planet.

No one knows whether humans have returned after that.

All I know is that the next day, the sun was shining brightly on this gray-green planet.
