I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

It is the act of making sacrifices only when there is no other way out.

"Are you so sure that I, who just joined here, will obey your order to let me die?"

"I never expected that."

"Which way are you talking about?"

Rick, who was sitting on the horse, was silent for a while with his back to Cheng Rang, and then urged: "Hurry up and get on the road."

"Okay, okay, Master Rick!" Cheng Rang smiled and raised his hand as a sign of surrender, and jumped onto the horse neatly.

With the clattering of horseshoes, the figures of the two gradually disappeared into the falling black ash.

Rick never looked forward to the moment when he needed to order his comrades to die, nor the moment when someone would refuse the order.

One is the moment when a few people are personally buried to maintain collective survival, and the other is the moment when the pressure of human nature to survive will bring more dire consequences.

Rick expected neither.

The wind that was blowing on the face seemed to be a little colder, as if it wanted to penetrate the cold into the bone marrow along the gaps in the clothes.

On the way later, the two arrived at the supply point and replenished precious fresh water. It was a pool formed by falling down stalagmites in a deep cave.

——On the fifth day of the journey, Cheng Rang and Rick finally saw the ruins not far away as they climbed over the mountains at their feet.

It is said that it was an elf city that was destroyed by a single blow from a Flügel in the past.

Information about the elves is extremely confidential and precious.

You can't get any items by picking up on the battlefield, and the knowledge you collect lacks many details.

After all, they don't use props, and they can solve everything by relying on non-catalytic magic.

"It's finally here." Cheng Rang sighed with relief. Half of the journey this time has passed, and he finally saw the dawn of harvest. The previous hustle and bustle was not in vain.

"The falling of the black ash has intensified, you have to go in quickly."

Rick pulled his gaze back from mid-air to the front, tightened the hood on his head, and rode off.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Cheng Rang, who had just learned how to ride a horse, lowered his voice, still controlling the rein in his hand with some unfamiliarity, and followed Rick's figure.

Sure enough, Rick, who still couldn't stand this guy talking strange things behind his back, taught Cheng Rang how to ride a horse, hoping to use this thing to shut his mouth for a while.

After a while, the two came to the ruins, tied up their horses in a hidden place, and Rick chose to enter on foot.

The area of ​​the ruins is huge, but after all, they are "ruins" that have passed for an unknown time, and no one knows where the road under their feet will collapse, so it is more convenient to pack lightly.

More importantly, there are actually no roads in the ruins that you can easily walk on.

"Spiritual Needle Disk." Rick climbed up the vines with his hands, and took the time to ask.

"no response."

Hanging himself easily on the steep stone wall with one hand, Cheng Rang took back the spiritual needle plate that Rick gave him.

"It seems to be a platform, can you find anything?"

"Look at luck, who knows what's right."

"That's not like something you could say, Rick."

Cheng Rang quickly overtook Rick, took the lead to climb onto the platform, and pulled Rick up with a reflexive probe.

Huge, weird, and delicate honeycomb-shaped vines enveloped the platform, and underfoot were unknown yellow flowers that were carpeted, and the colors of the flowers on the ground further away on the platform were gradually changing to green and red.

"It's really a huge building."

Rick squatted down and reached out to stroke the soft flowers under his feet.

"It's really the same as their names, elves."

"The protective technique here still doesn't seem to be effective." Rick looked around, then tore off the goggles and mask, breathing in the fresh air greedily.

Where there is no black ash, the plants everywhere exude a strong breath of life.

"But we didn't come here to see the scenery, to find out if there is any information about the elves left here."

"learn."

Before entering, Rick had already briefed Cheng Rang on the style of the elves' characters, and what the two of them needed to find was a place with these characters.

"Then I'll go over there and look for it." Cheng Rang pointed to the giant flower buds in the distance of the platform, which might be houses where elves lived.

"Well, if there is a situation, please contact me immediately."

Although it has been confirmed that there is no response from the spiritual needle plate and the surrounding area is very quiet, Rick is still very vigilant.

Seeing Cheng Rang's vigorous figure easily climbed up to the place where he had to climb for ten minutes, Rick couldn't help but show some envy.

Cheng Rang came to the huge flower bud, looked back and forth at what looked like a house in front of him, then raised the scabbard in his hand and poked it.

Hard as a rock.

The slight sound of the wind lingered around, becoming the only white noise in his ears. Cheng Rang subconsciously opened the spiritual needle plate, and found that the pointer swinging around had obviously been affected by black and gray and had failed.

Even here it will be affected, one can imagine how grand the black ash outside the ruins is at the moment.

Maybe it was a storm.

Walking around the flower bud, this huge thing surrounded by more than a dozen people seems to have no entrance.Although it sounds hollow.

Or just cut it open and have a look.

That's what I was planning to do

Just as Cheng Rang put his hand on the handle of the knife, there was a huge movement not far behind him.

boom!

It was Rick's side, and it seemed that an object falling at high speed hit the ground.

what happened? !

Cheng Rang ejected backwards, and a cloud of smoke and dust rose from the huge platform that came up before. Looking through the flying dust, there seemed to be another figure.

"inside..."

Cheng Rang's pupils shrank suddenly when he saw Rick's figure in a wave of dust and mist.

The figure of a young girl on the outside is pressing on Rick, and the distance between the two has reached the point of face-to-face, but such a scene cannot be reminiscent of a sudden welfare situation.

Its exposed mechanical parts very intuitively revealed the girl's race—the Ex-Machina.

Not human.

And controlled by her, Rick's life flickered like a candle in the wind.

The tenth in the ranking sequence of the fifteen races is a race composed of pure machines, all of which act in groups without exception. Each 437 machine individuals are united under the overall planning of the "commander body".

As long as you have been attacked once, or the strategy you have seen is no longer useful, and you can design the same weapon, in the endless war, the race that can theoretically become infinitely stronger.

Rick slowly let go of the dagger in his hand, and signaled Cheng Rang not to act rashly with his eyes.

Although the situation at this time is extremely dangerous, there is one thing, both of them are very clear in their hearts - the Ex-Machinas will not take the initiative, that is, the race that will not take the initiative to attack unless they attack it.

However, as long as they attack any one Ex-Machina, it is equivalent to making an enemy of all Ex-Machina.

Don't act rashly, or we'll all die.

Such information was conveyed to Cheng Rang from Rick's eyes.

Cheng Rang nodded slightly to show his understanding, and then slowly moved his hand away from the handle of the knife.

It wasn't until she was judged harmless by the Ex-Machina individual that her golden eyes that kept flashing through the information flow were peeled off from Cheng Rang's body.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Cheng Rang and Rick, the Ex-Machina girl pinched Rick's chin and said:

"Brother, I can't bear it anymore, please make me a woman~"

"what?"

The stunned Rick only had time to squeeze out a syllable expressing doubts from his mouth, and his lips were tightly blocked by the girl who leaned over to kiss her.

"Well!"

Chapter 12 hearts

Cheng Rang said that this situation shocked my mother on the spot.

Are all of you Ex-Machines so dishonest?So what is this battle about?

Cheng Rang was not the only one who was shocked, Rick was also the same.

(My name is Rick, virgin...what the hell! Better than that guy with a weapon and calling his wife!)

wrong.

No, no, no, this is a question that arises from chaotic thinking entering an idling state. Wait a minute....Calm down!

Let's sort it out first, although it is impossible to grasp what this situation is, it means that this is the worst situation beyond imagination.

Prioritize questions—what happened?How is this going?what will happen

"[Review]...the situation is being sorted out...."

The Ex-Machina girl sitting on me, the monster in appearance, as long as she makes any move, I will be finished!

"[Question]....unintelligible."

The Ex-Machina pressed against Rick's body, the mechanical ground was expressionless and made a sound without emotion.

Damn!It's me who can't understand!

But because of knowledge and rationality, Rick restrained the words that were about to blurt out due to the spinal reflex action.

"What I can't understand is our side, hey!"

The corner of Rick's mouth twitched violently, he even forgot that Cheng let this guy witness it.

Does this guy have a clear understanding that if he speaks inappropriately, he will be regarded as an "enemy"-human beings will become extinct because of this?

Rick yelled in his heart about the multiple contradictions with the information he knew.

“[Conjecture]——Is this context-appropriate setting insufficient?”

At this time, the skin that was attached to her body left, and the girl who straddled Rick said mechanically.

Hearing this completely unexpected question, Rick hesitated for a moment.

Human beings are undead, do not exist, cannot exist, and cannot be perceived....Do you want to remain silent and not answer?

Damn it, the shocked idiot next to him has already made subconscious complaints, bastard!

But Rick didn't realize that the expression on his face was exactly the same as that on Cheng Rang's.

then--

"Don't talk about whether you like it or not, who allows you to take away my virginity without authorization?"

At least it is certain that this machine is obviously speaking human language, so she must know something about the human race.

While that fact alone made Rick shudder, ignoring—rejecting her words might well be seen as an act of hostility as well.

Just as Rick was racking his brains to think about how to deal with the Ex-Machina in front of him, Cheng Rang, who heard his first answer, covered his mouth and let out a snort.

Visible blue veins appeared on Rick's forehead.

The guy laughs

Already?Definitely laughed!

So why does this Ex-Machina keep ignoring Cheng Rang and lying on top of me!

She had no expression on her face, and replied in a voice without ups and downs: "[Read] Setting 072—people... people didn't do this voluntarily. It was an accident, yes, it was an accident."

Hearing her reciting lines not inferior to the original "brother", Rick's mind went blank again.

Subconsciously cast a questioning look at Cheng Rang on the side, who knew that he also seemed to be concerned about me, first nodded his own head with his index finger, and then pointed at the Ex-Machina girl on his body, exaggerating He shrugged his shoulders, as if to say: Is the brain of this thing broken?

I'm thinking about this too!
