59 Days of Scavenging
The little robot was already being secretly watched by many students, and more than one person had witnessed him picking up trash, so the number of people paying attention to him grew even more.
When it came time to donate later, almost everyone contributed something.
So when the donation was returned, the story of the little robot's ideals in class spread throughout the entire campus.
These students, who were already passionate and ambitious, were immediately moved by the little robot's words, feeling both guilty and deeply impressed by him.
They didn't know if they could put aside their pride and rummage through the trash every day without a care in the world.
However, it's not too late to do it now!
Therefore, these young students were willing to sign up and follow Naji on the path of protecting the environment and conserving resources.
Some have even suggested that the little robots establish an environmental protection society.
The little robot refused.
He knew that there were all sorts of clubs and organizations at the university, making it a great place to build connections.
However, he doesn't need to make friends with humans, so he has no interest in participating.
They'd rather not build one from scratch. Just thinking about how time-consuming and tedious that would be is enough.
Given that time, the little robot would rather pick up trash from an extra street and place a few more trash cans.
Although he did not agree to his classmate's suggestion to establish a club, he still compiled a "Garbage Recycling and Sorting Guide" for those who were willing to pick up trash with him.
The trash listed in this booklet is all that he encountered after coming to this world, and the methods for dealing with it are written in response to the technological level and needs of this world.
He didn't include some items that required more precise instruments.
It only says "Can be handed over to Najitong for processing or put into the designated trash can".
Of course, these two options are essentially the same.
After receiving the booklet, the students gave the little robot a thumbs up repeatedly.
Look at that, that's what it means to strive for one's ideals!
Learn from Naji!
Under Na Jitong's influence, college students could be seen rummaging through garbage on every street in Beiping.
Besides the increase in college students picking up trash, the little robot also noticed that more humans were talking to it.
On his way to and from school, he would always be greeted by classmates, both those he knew and those he didn't.
During and after class, some people would even come up to him to shake his hand and say "Keep it up!"
Little robot: "??"
He no longer always kept to himself in class, especially Ning Ruo, who would always take the initiative to get closer to the little robot.
Ning Ruo's close friends and their group of young people also got used to bringing the little robot along for everything they did.
The little robot didn't know what was wrong with it either. It was clear that activities like "delivering newspapers," "eating together," and "want to go see the wildflowers when they bloom?" were all a waste of time for it.
On the contrary, when these humans stood in front of him and extended an invitation, the little robot unknowingly agreed.
After a few times, the little robot simply stopped struggling and followed along when called.
In any case, whatever these humans take him to do, it won't affect him. The scroll will still be a scroll, and the trash in the recycling bins will still be processed.
The humans who invited him didn't mind at all; they knew Naji's personality, and it was already a good thing that they could get him to come out and participate in the activity.
Ning Ruo also took the little robot with her and registered it in the physics club.
The members of the Physics Club were very happy to see the little robot arrive.
It wasn't because of his appearance, nor because of his "ideal of picking up trash," but because of the little robot's achievements in physics.
This is one of the reasons why small robots always attract a lot of attention.
To outsiders, he was the kind of person who never studied, but always came in first place in every test.
The same applies to physics. No matter what problems the members of the physics club encountered and sought his help with, they always received an answer.
How could they not want such a knowledgeable person to join their club?
This went on for a while, until a major event occurred that drew everyone's attention.
The students at the school were no longer in the mood to pick up trash.
In November, the Japanese army launched a battle in which the Chinese suffered a major defeat and heavy losses!
Not only did they lose hundreds of thousands of troops, but they also lost the territory of several provincial capitals, and at least hundreds of bases, factories, and hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land were occupied.
Tens of millions of our compatriots were suddenly under the iron heel of the Japanese army!
When the damage from this battle was published in the newspapers, everyone was in an uproar.
Some analysts believe that the key reason for the heavy losses in this battle was the inaction, corruption, and incompetence of the South Korean government, which was the main fighting force.
Even after the defeat, some cowardly officials of the Nanju government attempted to curry favor with the Japanese army.
Anyone with a sense of righteous indignation would be furious about such a thing!
When Ning Ruo came to the little robot's door, she learned that the students at the school had organized a group of people to hold a protest march the next day.
Ning Ruo came to invite the little robot to participate as well.
procession?
The little robot knows what this is.
In the time he'd been in this world, he'd witnessed more than one parade. Only the number of participants was small, and the scale of the parades was modest.
He didn't know whether the issues they were protesting against were ultimately resolved after these marches.
Upon hearing Ning Ruo's invitation, the little robot thought for a moment and agreed.
Ning Ruo left happily.
The next morning, when the little robot arrived at school, the parade at the school gate had almost finished gathering.
The little robot was also given a newspaper, the front page of which featured the devastating battle of a few days ago.
He found a spot at the tail end and stood there.
Most of the students in the same class as the little robot ran to the front of the parade. People like Ning Ruo and Zhang Lanyue even held banners and megaphones and stood at the very front to lead the way.
Most of the students in the school participated in the march.
Shouting slogans protesting Nanchong's weakness, the march was joined by other student groups as it passed other schools.
By the time the procession reached the main street, it had grown into a massive parade.
The little robot's position is getting further and further off; it's almost impossible to see the head of the group anymore.
He followed the team forward, surrounded by deafening slogans of national rejuvenation. Looking around, he saw that the young faces of everyone around him were filled with concern for the future of their motherland and fervent enthusiasm.
The little robot doesn't quite understand what humans mean by "love".
Perhaps it's like enjoying your job?
But this doesn't stop him from growing to like humans more and more.
As the marching procession grew larger and larger, it gradually approached the office in Beiping (Beijing) to the south.
A gunshot rang out, instantly drowning out the slogans filling the air.
The scene was completely silent.
Gunshots?
Has someone fired a shot?!
Before the thought had even finished forming in everyone's minds, screams suddenly erupted from the front of the parade.
"Ah!—Someone's dead!"
"The police opened fire!"
"Run! Run! Run!"
The marchers instantly descended into chaos.
Some people panicked and fled for their lives in all directions.
Some people became increasingly indignant and tried to move forward.
Some people, worried about their companions who were not in the same place, were frantically looking around for them.
Some people ran while craning their necks to look ahead, whether out of concern for the person who was shot or curiosity about who it was.
The little robot then rushed towards the group of people in front.
He wasn't angry, but rather worried about the humans he knew. He felt that they were all good people, and it would be a great pity if they died so young.
Moreover, the little robot felt a pang of anxiety the moment it learned that someone ahead had been shot.
He finally understood the "tense" feeling in the database.
"So, does the upgrade mean the addition of an emotional program?"
The little robot kept thinking about this even as it went against the current.
Under the pressure of real guns and ammunition, the protesters dispersed quickly.
The little robot quickly saw the scene ahead.
The person shot was not Ning Ruo or Zhang Lanyue, but the little robot recognized the person who was shot.
He is one of Ning Ruo's friends, Zhu Zhiwen.
Ning Ruo was completely stunned.
Zhang Lanyue bit her lip tightly, trying to press down on Zhu Zhiwen's bleeding abdomen.
However, there was so much blood that her hands were stained bright red, and there was blood everywhere on her clothes and the ground.
Tears streamed down the faces of those around him.
In front of them stood a group of uniformed men with guns.
One of them looked terrified, and could barely hold onto his gun.
It was clearly him who fired the shot.
However, apart from the one who fired the shot, the sheriff in this group clearly didn't care whether his men had killed a student.
He brandished the gun in his hand and said to Ning Ruo and Zhang Lanyue, "Young Master Ning, Miss Zhang Lanyue, your childish game should end here. That person is just unlucky, he can't be saved, don't bother with him, go home and do nothing, what's with this parade, it's a waste of everyone's time."
Before Zhang Lanyue could speak, Ning Ruo had already come to her senses.
His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at the sheriff: "Say that again?! Is this gun for you to fire at civilians?! Is this uniform for you to stand here and casually say 'bad luck' to the people you killed?!"
"You have the guts to shoot civilians, but not the guts to shoot Japanese soldiers! Beg for mercy, beg for mercy from your father!!"
Ning Ruo had never lost her composure like this before, much less swore so rudely.
But at this moment, he simply couldn't hold back any longer.
Not only him, but all the students who hadn't left yet couldn't help but glare angrily at the sheriff.
However, the sheriff was not afraid of this mere group of students at all. Instead, he sneered, "So what are you capable of? A march? What good is a march? Can a march make the Japanese army retreat? If you're really capable, get us some powerful weapons. Then you can let me fight the Japanese army. I will never fight John!"
"Unfortunately, are you able to buy it?"
"With your meager funds, you can't even afford a box of bullets, can you?"
"Is this all you want us to do to die in vain?"
The sheriff said, too lazy to argue with these guys, and waved the muzzle of his gun.
"Alright, everyone disperse now. If you keep causing trouble, I don't care who you are, I'll throw you all in jail for a few days and teach you a lesson!"
With that, he turned and left.
The other police officers followed him away, leaving only a few behind, still holding their guns, to watch the crowd disperse.
At this moment, Zhu Zhiwen's breath was barely perceptible.
Ning Ruo knelt beside Zhu Zhiwen in anguish, holding his hand, unable to speak.
Everyone was extremely sad.
Kneeling beside Zhu Zhiwen, looking at him.
This was the first time they had lost the life of someone close to them.
Such an experience is truly too painful.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from above everyone's heads.
Is he dead?
Ning Ruo paused in her breath.
Looking up, I saw the little robot with a calm gaze and no trace of sorrow on its face, and I suddenly became furious.
"He's not dead yet!"
Ningruo couldn't believe it. How could Ji be so calm and not sad at all?
He even went so far as to ask if Zhu Zhiwen was dead. Did he want him to die sooner?!
How can people be so cold-blooded!
If she weren't still holding Zhu Zhiwen's hand, Ning Ruo would have stood up and started yelling at the man in front of her.
Even while still squatting on the ground, Ning Ruo felt she couldn't tolerate such a thing happening.
He opened his mouth, about to swear.
There were just sounds that were faster than him.
It was the little robot, whose voice still betrayed no emotion. He said, "If he's not dead, I can save him."
Ning Ruo: "...?"
Ning Ruo: "!!!"
What did he say?!
Thankfully, I didn't have a chance to yell!
