Seeing that Ai Xueer's guard was gradually letting go, Yang Ming did not intend to know too much about her story for the time being. Instead, he glanced at the wall clock in the room, pointed at it and said:
"It's already six o'clock in the afternoon. I think we can prepare the food for the evening first. It won't be too late to discuss it then."
"Oh... I, can I eat together?"
Ai Xueer asked cautiously.
"Of course, you can just come along and help."
After Yang Ming finished speaking, he assigned their respective tasks.
Let Carters and Lesia go to the ground to quickly strengthen the building's fortifications according to Theia's instructions, and then return to the basement.
As for Yang Ming and Ai Xueer, they are responsible for preparing dinner in the kitchen.
After instructing the relevant matters, they began to take action separately.
The reason why I did this was to create a separate scene of contact with Ai Xueer, to see if I could get close and get some additional information.
Carters and Lesia had already left, and Yang Ming also brought Ai Xueer to the kitchen.
Looking at the kitchen waste in the garbage pile, Yang Ming asked:
"How did you cook before?"
"hey-hey."
She took out a bag of instant meals from the refrigerator and said with a playful smile,
"I'll just boil this and eat it."
It seemed that she didn’t know how to cook, so Yang Ming said:
"Just help carry the plates and get the ingredients there. Just follow my instructions."
"Oh, okay."
Aixueer agreed immediately. Yang Ming first checked the specific resources left in the kitchen, and after telling her to get them, he also took out some ingredients from the compressor to supplement each other.
This scene was seen by Ai Xueer, and she exclaimed:
"Wow, what kind of magic is this?"
Although the special effects during the use of the compressor are indeed very cool, this was added intentionally when Lian was originally designing it.
But Ai Xueer's first reaction was to say "magic", which is not a word that may appear in normal conversations.
Now is an era of extremely advanced science and technology. In fact, the main group of new humans has long forgotten this concept. Theia indeed deliberately concealed magic.
After all, it is a major leader of the Human Alliance. For the purpose of suppressing competition, Theia will try its best to prevent ordinary people from realizing these things.
Ai Xueer blurted out these two words, although she must have done it unconsciously, because Yang Ming believed that the memory of the past was temporarily lost.
Precisely because she is unconscious, she can deduce more details. This girl named Ai Xueer does not belong to the old human group of Arashen Planet, nor is she likely to be a new human being.
Then her true identity is very interesting. It may be related to the friends Yang knows. Even if she is not a transcendent existence, there is probably some connection.
This thinking process was completed in an instant, and Yang Ming realized that his thinking acceleration ability could gradually operate even when suppressed by reality.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming said:
"This is actually a technological product of the Human Alliance. In the vast universe beyond this planet, human civilization has been extremely developed."
"Oh~"
Ai Xueer repeatedly praised,
"I see. Is the outside world more powerful than here?"
"It can be understood that the technological level of this planet is indeed not very high."
Yang Ming started plugging in the rice cooker and said while cutting vegetables,
"But there are very few people who know how to cook food."
"Haha, don't you know how to cook like me?"
Ai Xueer laughed and said,
"But why do you understand so well?"
"The pioneer team I am in has the habit of imitating the lives of our ancestors, so I am more or less good at it."
Yang Ming said this. At this time, Ai Xueer looked very confused, so she continued to ask,
"What, do you think there's something wrong?"
"Do you think your ancestors' lives were better?"
So she said.
"It's not a matter of good or bad, it's a gap in belief. Human beings have been comfortable for too long and have long lost the ability to fight."
Yang Ming turned around and said seriously,
"Can you understand the meaning? Just like the current zombie crisis, if human beings break out, it will easily become one-sided."
In fact, the existence of artificial intelligence is deliberately concealed here. In fact, humans and intelligent agents complement each other, and the zombie crisis can be easily solved.
However, if it is the ultimate virus targeting artificial intelligence, it is actually very likely that it will collapse the defense line in an instant.
"Oh, I can understand. Although I don't remember the past, but based on the scenes I encountered when the crisis broke out before, I also feel that society can easily collapse."
Ai Xueer concluded based on her experience.
"Well, you're right."
Yang Ming agreed and then said,
"So the organization I work for is a professional response team formed to prevent this kind of thing from happening, so it must have a combat concept."
"So that's what happened. No wonder we have to learn from our ancestors."
Ai Xueer looked very excited on the side, clenched her hands, couldn't help but jumped up, and said,
"I didn't expect the mission you have to carry is so great!"
"You don't need to use honorifics to me, that's too polite. It's just that different people have different tasks, and I'm just doing what I'm assigned to do."
After that, Yang Ming continued to cook food and reached the stage of stir-frying.
"I see"
After hearing about her own deeds, Ai Xueer became even more diligent.
The meal was quickly prepared, and Carters and Lesia returned to the basement smoothly.
The next step was to have dinner together. Thanks to the previous friendship and Ai Xueer's cheerful and lively personality, she quickly integrated into the group.
Yang Ming took this opportunity to ask a question that had always puzzled him:
"Speaking of which, it seems that you can only see with one eye?"
Ai Xueer raised her head and could clearly see that her left eye was indeed closed tightly. She said casually:
"Ah, this, I don't know why, I couldn't see it from the beginning."
She gently lifted her hair, exposed her closed eye and continued:
"It might be a little scary."
Seeing that she seemed to be showing off, Yang Ming quickly said:
"It doesn't matter. We have seen a lot of things and we won't be scared."
Then, Ai Xueer slowly opened her left eye.
How should I put it? It was indeed beyond Yang Ming's expectation. He originally thought that if he couldn't see it, it would be hollow, but he thought it was not.
Her eyelids gradually moved to both sides, and the internal situation became clearer, but also became increasingly weird.
I saw that her open eyes still had eyeballs, but only the white part of the eyes could be seen. As for the pupils... she didn't seem to notice them for a while.
