The plane flew relatively smoothly in the dusk. The old machine parts made the plane's maneuverability not very agile. It had to shake three times every time it adjusted its attitude. Fortunately, there were no pursuers along the way. It only needed to
Just fly to the destination. The internal combustion engine is much noisier than the electric motor. Even if you shout at the top of your voice in the cabin, it is difficult to hear what the other person is saying. Although the two people who were rescued were full of doubts, they could only be honest first.
Sitting, the current environment is really not suitable for conversation.
Xiao Wu stared at the metal man opposite with curiosity. She looked all the way and saw that the man couldn't help but avoid her eyes. This was not because Xiao Wu was rude...well, she was just rude, but
This metal man does look very strange. His body has no trace of "humanity" at all, and even his head is just a helmet-like thing. It is more like a robot than a cyberman.
The person piloting the plane is a female cybernetic. Her appearance is much more normal than those of the scavengers. At least she still has her hair, and her clothes are similar to those of passers-by on the street. It is considered normal in this world. The head of a gay friend
It was placed on the co-pilot's seat, which was the position Xiao Wu had specially chosen to prevent him from falling. The friend was very embarrassed now, and what was even more embarrassing was that the driver didn't say a word to him, so he could only pretend
He was a decoration. He moved his gaze to the outside of the lower observation window and saw that there were gradually more building debris on the wasteland.
The plane lowered its flight altitude and entered the ruins of this old city. Many of the high-rise buildings in the past have not collapsed, but only the broken skeletons of reinforced concrete are left. But in the center of this ruins, there is a building that is not too big.
A tall but relatively complete building exists. Due to its small shape and geographical location, this building was not much damaged in the original war, so it has survived to this day. There are obvious signs of repairs on the surface of the building, and the roof
The lighted traffic lights indicate that someone is living there.
"Wow~~There is actually a stronghold hidden in such a ghost place~"
Xiao Wu leaned half of her body out and watched with interest as the plane landed on the apron paved with steel plates on the roof of the building, and then jumped out first.
"That's right, this is called cyberpunk! On one side is a prosperous but depressing city, on the other side are dilapidated and empty ruins, it's really interesting!"
Xiao Wu ran to the edge of the rooftop and happily looked at the scenery of the ruins. She acted like a child out to play, without any sense of crisis.
"Don't run away! Come and take me with you!"
The gay friend yelled pitifully in the cabin.
"Oh oh oh, I forgot about you!"
Xiao Wu opened the cab door and lifted up the gay friend's head.
"Is this how you treat your man's head? Shouldn't you hold it tightly to your chest?"
The gay friend complained in his mind that he felt that his fiancée was not gentle to him at all.
"Are you thinking about Taozi? Then should I take off your clothes and hold you face to my chest? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tie a chain to your head and make it into a meteor hammer!"
"Hey~!"
Jiyou didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, because he knew Xiao Wu would really do that.
"You guys, come with us."
The pilot jumped off the plane and asked Xiao Wu to follow him. The metal man folded the plane's ducted propellers and pushed the plane into the simple hangar with his companions on the roof.
"This place seems to be their secret base."
As Xiao Wu walked, she looked at the surrounding environment. Although this building was a relic of the previous era, it was well taken care of by the current owner. The damaged structures had been repaired and reinforced, and the interior was not too bright.
But there is enough lighting, and the environment is quite clean, with no random piles of clutter and garbage.
"Who are these?"
My gay friend is also observing, but he is more concerned about their identities.
"Whatever, he is a good person if he saves us anyway!"
"Isn't your judgment too hasty?"
"What's so sloppy?"
"What if they have other intentions?"
"Huh? You guy, is your delusion of persecution an ancestral skill inherited from the people in your hometown? What do they want from you?"
"Uh... But as the saying goes, you must be on guard against others..."
"Then you can defend yourself if you can~ You only have one head now, let me see how you defend yourself!"
"I told you to be on guard..."
"I don't care! The goddess never defends anyone, even if they are really bad guys!"
"Oh...then you have to protect me~"
"Oh, you've become like this, it doesn't matter if you protect me or not~"
"Hello!"
"At worst, I'll give you another one~"
"No……"
It is inevitable to take the elevator when traveling in a high-rise building. But this building is strictly a "relic", so there is no serious elevator at all. The elevator shaft is still usable, but the original car has already fallen to the bottom
It turned into scrap metal, so the people here welded a simple cage with steel bars and steel plates, and realized the function of the elevator through a manually controlled hoist.
"We're in the cage again. I have an ominous premonition..."
"What a premonition! I didn't even have a premonition. What could you have had?"
"Don't you think this place is nice?"
"Is there anything not weird about this world?"
"It seems so..."
"That's it!"
"Tell me...will Raeder be okay?"
"Ah? You are actually thinking about another woman?"
"No! This is just a normal worry, okay!"
"Don't worry, she is the daughter of a wealthy family. No matter how she is punished, there will be no substantial damage. There is no need to worry about her!"
"But she seemed very scared..."
"You were scared when your dad wanted to beat you!"
"But that kind of fear is obviously not just about parents..."
"So what, it's none of your business? Can you save her now?"
"cannot……"
"Then shut up!"
"oh……"
The speed of the simple elevator was very slow, and it took a long time to descend ten floors. When reaching the target floor, the driver immediately stopped the operation of the hoist, and after the iron cage shook a few times, it barely aimed at the elevator door of the current floor.
"follow me."
The driver pushed open the manual screen door like a fence and walked in front to guide Xiao Wu.
This building should have been an office building in the old days. The layout of the entire floor still retains the original partition design, but the glass that was once used as the wall is gone and it has become an "open design." And because
There is nothing placed here, so it looks empty. There is still a part of the glass curtain wall on the outside of the building, and the missing parts are covered with metal plates and plastic sheets, which makes the natural lighting in the room difficult.
It's great. And because most places here don't have lights on, it gives people a drowsy feeling.
"They're coming."
The driver took Xiao Wu to an office area. There was no desk here, but a circle of sofas and some shelves. It looked like a simple living room, with quite a large area. Warm yellow lights illuminated it.
When the area is lit up, a strange and warm sense of nostalgia permeates the air, not unlike the feasting and feasting cyber world.
"Welcome you two, you have had a hard time traveling all the way, please have a seat."
The brown-haired mature woman on the sofa stood up, smiled and said to the two of them. There were obvious traces of splicing on the surface of her skin, but overall she still had a natural human-shaped body.
"Okay, then I'm welcome!"
Xiao Wu sat down opposite the woman generously.
"Would you like some black tea? Although it was preserved from the last century."
The woman pointed to the metal kettle heated by an electric stove on the coffee table.
"good!"
Xiao Wu nodded happily.
"Hey, aren't you afraid of falling asleep after drinking this black tea?"
My friend reminded me in my mind.
"Do you think I'll fall asleep?"
"It doesn't seem like..."
"That's it!"
"Oh, so who are these? Just ask~"
"Okay, let me ask."
Xiao Wu took the stainless steel cup handed to her and cast a rude look at the woman.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the leader of the Natural Society. You can call me Linen."
