The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 333 Omnic Crisis
After the waterfall of dense green text codes, it really is animation again.

When Wu Heng watched the first concept trailer, he carefully studied the information flow at the beginning that seemed to be like computer code. He paused to watch it several times, and found that it was made up of Roman letters, oracle bone inscriptions and numbers, which seemed to have no practical meaning. meaning.

What greets the eye is a gray tone, which is very different from the gorgeous colors in the first animated short a week ago.

It was desolate, silent, and even the soil seemed to be covered with a layer of black haze like volcanic ash.

An old car was driving in the bumpy and hazy wilderness. After a while, the car stabilized, and Wu Heng noticed that the car was driving onto a road.

The road is almost integrated with the surrounding wilderness, and it has been almost completely covered by dust, but there are still faint flat and unnatural traces of the road surface, indicating that this is a long-abandoned road.

The driver of the car was a boy with messy hair in an old sweater, with a long scar on his cheek, and a little girl sitting next to him, about six or seven years old. Although the girl's clothes were also old, her cheeks and braids tidy up.

Through the dialogue between the two children, it was revealed that they were a pair of brothers and sisters. The settlement where the brothers and sisters lived was destroyed, and only the two of them escaped. They wanted to find the next human settlement, so that they could have a place to live. place.

The boy kept tuning the radio equipment on the car, but no matter which frequency band he tuned to, there was a rustling sound without any echo.

It seems that the entire human civilization has disappeared.

Wu Heng deciphered the information given in the video thoughtfully. This seems to be the background of the end of the world. A nuclear war?Or some other disaster?
But what's with last week's first trailer?

Before watching it, he wondered if the second animated short was a follow-up to the first animated short. The first animated short really made him feel uneasy and quite depressed.

The teenagers don't seem to be disappointed that the radio station can't find any clues of human activities. Perhaps they have been searching for more than a day or two, and they have long been used to being disappointed.

But the teenagers are not discouraged, because their parents, their relatives, and all the adults in the settlement firmly believe that there must be human beings who are still sticking together like them in a certain corner of the world.

So he also believed.

The vehicle was parked by the side of the road, not far away was an abandoned gas station, the vehicle was running out of gas, the boy found the location of the gas station according to an old map, the boy took out a gas station from the trunk of the car The tin box, through the car window, softly and sternly told the little girl not to make a sound, nor to get out of the car, and then walked to the gas station alone.

"Interesting..." Wu Heng raised his nerves after a little relaxation. Maybe it is indeed the end of the world, but it must be a dangerous end of the world. What kind of danger is it?

The boy carefully picked up the fuel gun from a fuel dispenser, but there was no fuel in it. He tried several fuel dispensers one after another, and finally found that there was remaining gasoline in the last fuel dispenser.

After filling the tin box with gasoline, the boy hesitated for a moment, looked back at the car where his sister was in the distance, gritted his teeth, and walked into the gas station carefully without making any noise. The convenience store was already empty, only the packaging, Cardboard boxes and rubbish were scattered on the ground, and Wu Heng seemed to be able to see the panic of people entering the store and looting all the goods through this scene.

The boy was disappointed but not discouraged, and carefully searched the convenience store and the room of the gas station next door, but there was no abnormality or danger.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, but Wu Heng in front of the screen was always tense, because according to his experience in reading films, the audience would often encounter a sudden attack from the plot at this time.

But it turned out to be a false alarm.

The boy went back to the car and filled up the gas, and seriously discussed with the little girl, let the little girl stay at the gas station, he checked that the gas station was safe, and he was going to drive to the city on the distant skyline to collect supplies. There is not enough food left.

When I was in the settlement before, the adults also regularly organized exploration teams to collect supplies in the city. The settlement can solve part of the consumption of supplies, but there are still some that need to be obtained from the city.

The settlement was destroyed, and the food and vegetables grown were also burned. The two of them are currently unable to support themselves.

Although the boy hadn't joined the "Urban Supplies Collection Team" yet, he had heard the adults talk about the relevant precautions.

However, the little girl's little hand holding onto the boy's arm never let go, no matter how much the boy persuaded.

In the end, two people, one big and one small, drove together towards the faint city beyond the skyline.

Although some buildings show signs of being damaged, most of the buildings are intact, and even compared to the gray and hazy tones of the wilderness, the city looks vibrant and radiant.

It seems to be the kind of simulated video that Wu Heng has seen after the city has been abandoned for a few months. There are not only the melodious birdsong, the rustling of insects and small animals, but also a touch of tough green from the cement. , asphalt, buildings popping out, even the overall tone of the animation has become fresh and sunny.

In addition to not being able to find a single figure.

And the brothers and sisters kept silent and moved slightly, as if they were acting in a silent movie.

This scene of human beings being silent amidst the chirping of birds, the sound of natural wind, and the rustling of animals and insects made Wu Heng feel strangely frightened and chilled.

And Wu Heng also knew the reason from the boy's exhortation to the little girl.

"Once they hear you, they start hunting you."

Wu Heng had to admit that his appetite was whetted by this setting. Although he still didn't know what monster or thing would hunt them down, this did not prevent him from being extremely nervous when he didn't even see a hanging hair. tensed up.

This setting directly makes the sound extremely sensitive, and uses the details of the sound to provoke Wu Heng's tension and uneasiness, so that his sense of tension will climb all the way because of the turbulence of the sound during the process of the picture.

The teenager picked up a teddy bear and handed it to the little girl. The little girl smiled happily while hugging the teddy bear. Toys are a luxury for them.

The young man carefully climbed up a shelf and was about to take away a box of food on the top shelf. When he lifted the box up, he saw a streamlined mouse with a very sci-fi feel, only smaller in size than a mouse. Much bigger.

Under the young man's horrified eyes, a small ball shot out from above the streamlined machine, burst open, and countless tiny bullets flew around.

Before that, the boy lowered his head alertly and jumped to the ground, but his arm was still injured by the bullet.

The mouse-shaped streamlined machine deformed and erected four mechanical legs. The body was slightly flattened like a cockroach, and it chased after the boy. One of its front legs could also lift the barrel of the foot to shoot.

But fortunately, it was inside the building, not on the open wilderness or on the road. The brother and sister had room to avoid it. In this way, the boy took the little girl and started to escape and hide in the building.

"So this is the robot dog..." Wu Heng finally understood the meaning of the title of the trailer.

Robot dogs chasing humans?

So this is-

Omnic Crisis! ?
Some strange thoughts arose in Wu Heng's heart. Last week's first animated short film was humans killing robots, but in the second animated short film, it became robots chasing and killing humans?interesting……

However, the animation did not give Wu Heng time to think. What followed was a tense and thrilling "peek-a-boo". Coupled with the cramped interior space of the building and the setting where no sound can be made, Wu Heng was always in a state of tension. among emotions.

After some dangers, the brothers and sisters still escaped from the building, staged a silent and tense city chase scene, and when the robot dog was about to catch up, they got into a car parked on the edge of the city and galloped away to the wilderness in the distance .

The robot dog still pursues closely, but is pulled further and further away by the car.

But the car target still has a red light in the eyes of the robot dog, which keeps him stuck behind and cannot be shaken off.

While Wu Heng lamented the enmity between the robot dog and humans, it looked like it was going to chase to the ends of the earth, and on the other hand, he also realized that the siblings must have been marked by something.

Sure enough, the boy drove the car, and asked his sister to take out a small package from the back seat of the car. There was gauze in the box, and several long and thin knives that looked like scalpels.

Although the little girl was only six or seven years old, it seemed that it was not the first time that a knife had been used. The boy bit a piece of cloth in his mouth and endured the pain so that the little girl used a scalpel to pluck out a black hole from the wound on his arm. of small beads.

Wu Heng knew that this should be the goddess-like locator that the robot dog burst out at the beginning. It seems that humans have been prepared for a long time, and they must have done this kind of thing a lot.

The black beads were thrown out of the car window. After a while, the robot dog chased after it, bent down to look at the locator, and lost the vehicle's whereabouts.

The brother and sister fled to the first gas station, which had been carefully searched by the teenager before, and there was no danger. The two planned to rest here for a night.

But high energy often appears when the characters and the audience are unprepared, and Wu Heng's nerves that have just been relaxed are tense again.

One was hidden in a hidden corner, because the boy's search was quiet last time, so the undisturbed "Black Mouse" was awakened by the sound that the brothers and sisters did not deliberately suppress, and stood up on all fours.

Then there was another chase inside the gas station, and this time it was more thrilling than in the city. The boy picked up the paint bucket next to the robot dog and splashed milky white paint on the robot dog. .

The robot dog lost its vision, and even other detection equipment was sealed by a layer of sticky milky white paint. It was played by teenagers like headless flies, and the real body of the two brothers and sisters could not be found.

Because it is not a city, the boy no longer has to worry that the loud noise will attract more robot dogs, so he took his sister and ran to the car, took out a long shotgun, rushed into the gas station, and smashed it into pieces. The body of a robot dog.

Before the boy and Wu Heng in front of the screen could smile, the robot dog shot a small black ball from its back before it died, and then the black ball burst open like a goddess scattering flowers. The weapon was shot into the boy's head, cheek and body.

Wu Heng was shocked by this sudden turn of events, and the young man also realized that there was absolutely no way to save himself this time. A dozen or dozens of trackers could not be plucked out or cleaned up, and that was no different from suicide. There is no difference.

Amid the boy's roar, the strong little girl stood in front of the driver's seat of the car with tears in her eyes. Her small body was holding the big steering wheel. He opened the car window, held the key and started the engine, looked deeply at the little girl, showed a bright smile, and watched the car drive into the distance.

Then the boy carried a long shotgun on his back, facing the sun with bloody cheeks, and walked towards the city.

The picture shows Wu Heng's somewhat blurred vision overlooking the wasteland-like wilderness.

Robot dogs came out of the city one by one, and ran towards the figure of the boy who was walking towards each other like a soldier.

……

The little girl struggled to drive the car aimlessly in the wilderness.

Until the sun went down, the car stopped.

The little girl stood blankly in front of the messy ruins, broken tiles, corpses thrown to the ground one by one, flies crawling and dancing on the corpses, bloodstains everywhere, and gray-black snowflakes that seemed to be burning embers , slowly falling from the sky.

While sniffing, Wu Heng thought that this should be the destroyed settlement where the brother and sister mentioned at the beginning were.

The little girl walked slowly to the corner of a dilapidated wall, carrying the miniature teddy bear her brother found for her from the city, lying in the corner, hugging the teddy bear tightly, basking in the warm rays of the setting sun.

Until she was awakened by the glare of the sun, the little girl opened her eyes and found a figure standing five or six meters away from her, it was her brother!

The boy showed a sunny smile to her, and there was no wound on his body or face.

The elder brother told her that he was rescued by other people, who saved him from other settlements, and they invited the brother and sister to settle in the settlement.

The little girl happily got up and ran to her brother. Just as she was about to grab the boy's hand, she woke up from her dream.

It was not day, but night, a dark night sky with thick clouds that hid the moon and stars.

There was a rustling sound, and the black shadow made strange noises.

The little girl sat up and looked outside in horror. A robot dog slowly appeared, followed by another robot dog, and more robot dogs surrounded the little girl and slowly approached.

A few blood-colored flowers splashed out from the gray-black ground that seemed to be covered with burnt embers.

The moment the screen was shrouded in darkness, Wu Heng, whose eyes were wet, suddenly had the words spoken by the little boy at the end of the first animated short a week ago in his mind.

"All cruel pleasures must end in cruelty!"

　This animated short film mainly refers to the content of the fifth episode of the fourth season of "Black Mirror", plus some settings of "A Quiet Place"
