Chen Xu saw a black and white world through the foggy glasses. All the objects he could see were black, some were darker and some were lighter.

Moreover, there are black spots floating in the air, which are larger dust particles.

According to Chief Engineer He, this pair of glasses is the first generation of products and is relatively crude. They can be improved in the future to ignore the presence of floating dust.

At first, he was not used to this kind of perspective. After watching for ten minutes or so, he would take off his glasses to give his eyes a rest. After a while, he got used to it. Basically, he would wear them for several hours.

Now, all he saw were the shapes of trees everywhere, and further away, undulating black curves, which were mountains.

They were taking the national highway, which was a very steep section. After climbing several mountains, they crossed the provincial border.

The reason why I didn’t take the more convenient and faster highway was that I was worried about encountering robots.

After the successful implementation of "Project Mist", the global wireless networks were cut off, and the robots previously controlled by "Tai Chi" also lost control.

It is understood that the vast majority of robots currently on the market are unlikely to develop autonomous consciousness because the performance of their chips does not meet the requirements.

At present, the largest number of robots on the earth are nanny robots, which are only capable of doing housework, and cannot do more complex work because they can only have so many built-in instructions, and more is not enough.

These robots cannot receive commands from Tai Chi and will only act according to the programs implanted in them. They will probably search for and kill humans everywhere.

Along the way, they had encountered many robots walking aimlessly on the road. When they heard the sound of the car, they would rush over like crazy, wasting a lot of his bullets.

It seemed to him that these robots were exactly like the zombies in the movies, except that they couldn't bite people.

In this world, driverless technology is already quite mature, especially on highways. There is no doubt that these vehicles will be controlled by "Tai Chi".

If you take the highway and happen to encounter a vehicle transporting a robot, you're doomed.

Therefore, it is safer to take the national highway.

Finally, they climbed over the mountain and saw a sign that read "The people of XX Province wish you a safe journey." After driving a little further, they saw another sign that read "The people of Xx Province welcome you."

"It looks like a hotel there. Let's stay there tonight."

Bai Jinxuan, who was driving, suggested.

Chen Xu saw a solitary building on the side of the road. Next to it stood a sign that read Shunfeng Hotel. He nodded and said, "Yeah."

According to the map, a few kilometers ahead is a town. However, the nights before were not peaceful. When I was sleeping at night, I was attacked by robots.

Perhaps, such a remote house is quieter.

Bai Jinxuan drove the car to the door of the hotel. In the past few days, her driving skills have improved qualitatively. In Chen Xu's opinion, she is really smart and learns things quickly.

She took some time to turn the truck around so that she could drive away immediately if she encountered danger.

Her U-turn technique was still far from perfect. The space in front of the hotel was not very big. She went back and forth more than a dozen times before she managed to park the car. When she got out of the car, her forehead was covered with sweat.

Chen Xu turned on the alarm and saw no movement on the display.

Bai Jinxuan had already moved the wheelchair down and put it away. He helped him down and sat on it.

"Thank you." Chen Xu said after sitting down.

Bai Jinxuan took down his backpack, closed the car door, and finally couldn't help but say, "I should do all this, why do I have to say thank you every time?"

Chen Xu took his backpack, controlled the wheelchair, and walked towards the hotel entrance, saying, "You can think this is what you should do. But I shouldn't think you should do this."

Bai Jinxuan was confused by his words. After thinking about it for a few times, he finally understood what he meant. He said a little unhappily, "Why are you so distant with me?"

Chen Xu pulled the shutter door, but it didn't move. It must be locked. He took out the master key, raised his hand, and was about to open the door. Bai Jinxuan followed behind him and took the key from him, inserted it into the keyhole, turned it, and said, "For something like this, can't you just ask me to do it?"

Chen Xu moved his wheelchair back a little to make room, and said, "If I need your help with everything, I will definitely order you around after a while. By then, you will not be able to bear it."

Bai Jinxuan pushed the shutter door up with some difficulty, turned around and said, "You won't."

Chen Xu looked at her, shook his head, and said, "You also started working when you were very young. You are not an ignorant girl. You have experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature. You have even been in the entertainment industry and seen the world of fame and fortune. Why do you always speak so naively?"

After saying that, he controlled the wheelchair and entered the hotel.

There was a counter at the entrance, and seven or eight tables were placed inside. The floor and tables were covered with dust. It seemed that no one had been here since the disaster.

Crash.

At the back, Bai Jinxuan silently closed the rolling shutter door, placed the box in his hand on the table, opened it, and connected an LED light to the power source, illuminating the entire hall.

After that, the two of them had nothing to say to each other and each did their own thing.

Bai Jinxuan was washing the pot and cooking.

Chen Xu was wiping the gun he was carrying.

In the military camp, there is a large amount of food stored, all of which are easy-to-carry dry food, such as various canned foods, compressed biscuits, and dried vegetables. Convenient and nutritious, they brought a lot, enough to eat for several months.

The two finished their dinner in silence. Chen Xu opened a tablet map he had brought with him and began to plan tomorrow's route.

This map was downloaded from a computer in the military camp. It is a military version, much more detailed than the civilian version. Even this restaurant can be found.

It is best to avoid the center of the town. The more people there are, the higher the chance of robots appearing. Therefore, remote paths are safer.

After washing the pots and bowls, Bai Jinxuan found the bathroom and went to take a shower. As long as conditions allowed, she would take a shower and change into clean clothes every day.

"It's your turn." She came out of the shower and said to Chen Xu.

Chen Xu had almost planned the route. He put down the tablet and drove the wheelchair to the bathroom. The bucket was full of warm water and there was a stool next to it.

There was a red bag hanging on the wall, filled with brand new clothes.

He sighed, pulled out two short sticks from the back of the wheelchair, grabbed the two ends and pulled them to make two crutches.

With the help of two crutches, he entered the bathroom and closed the door.

…………

Half an hour later, Chen Xu came out in a wheelchair.

Bai Jinxuan was sitting at the table, writing something in a notebook. When he saw him come out, he closed the notebook and put it in the small box he always carried with him. Then he moved a chair, walked in front of him and sat down, reaching out to grab his feet.

"No."

Chen Xu's wheelchair moved backwards, avoiding her hand.

"You need to move your knee more. Otherwise, if you don't move it for a few months, it will become stiff. Then, it will take a long time to recover, which is very troublesome. My grandfather broke his leg before, and it happened like this. Even after the bone healed, his knee couldn't bend, and he still couldn't walk."

Bai Jinxuan said this and grabbed his legs again.

Chen Xu stepped back a little more and said, "I said no need."

This time, Bai Jinxuan's expression froze.

The atmosphere fell into an awkward silence.

She breathed a little faster, clenched her fists, then unclenched them, and said, "Why do you have to do this?"

Chen Xu didn't look at her expression, but stared at the ground. Luo Xiyun and Yang Jinxia's faces appeared alternately in front of him.

At the beginning, he could flirt with Luo Xiyun without any burden and have sex with her. He also copied Yang Jinxia into his dream. He could tell himself that this was just a dream.

It was not until he knew that everything in the dream would affect the people in reality that he could no longer regard this as a simple dream. He could no longer regard the people who were copied into him as his own imagination.

This change in mentality gave him a completely different attitude towards Bai Jinxuan.

He said, “I already have a girlfriend.”

"Really?" Bai Jinxuan's chest rose and fell sharply, and he finally couldn't suppress his emotions. "Have you ever thought that she might be dead?"

Chen Xu raised his head and looked at her excited face. He was not angry at all and said, "Isn't this good? If you are angry, just vent it out. If you are unhappy, just express it. Why do you have to wear a mask all the time and hide your true side?"

"What about you?"

Bai Jinxuan stared at him with red eyes, "Aren't you living with a mask on? You are obviously considerate of me, why do you have to have a cold face? You are obviously doing this for my own good, why do you have to irritate me with cold words? You obviously care about me in your heart, why do you have to push me away so cruelly?"

Chen Xu's expression gradually changed. He turned his wheelchair and said, "Go to bed early."

Bai Jinxuan became more and more excited as he spoke, and chased after him, "In fact, you are feeling inferior, you are avoiding me, you are afraid that I am just impulsive, you think you are not worthy of me..."

"That's enough." Chen Xu stopped and growled, "What do you know?"

"Yes, I don't understand."

Bai Jinxuan walked forward, hugged him from behind, and buried his head in his shoulder, "I just want to tell you that in my heart, you are better than anyone else, a hundred times better, a thousand times better."

"Do you think I can't see the dirty thoughts of those men? I know them all. I have met many men who said nice things to me and helped me a little, but then wanted to eat me alive. Their thoughts can be seen at a glance."

"No one is really good to me. Only you, even though you have a stern face and say harsh words, I can see that you care about me, love me, and are afraid that I will suffer. Even if you reject me, it's because you are afraid that I will get hurt. I know that."

After hearing the last part, Chen Xu was silent for a while and murmured, "You are really stupid."
