Chapter 138 The Day Code Fell in Love (8)

On this unknown planet, they did not know how time passed. Only when they felt it getting colder and colder could they guess that it was late at night.

The warmth emitted by a small heater was far from enough.

Bai Yao was so cold that she could not sleep. Even though she had moved as close to the heater as possible, the temperature was too small compared to the surrounding cold.

She hugged her body and sneezed again. If this continued, she would probably get sick soon.

The young man who had been quiet for a long time whispered, "Do you need help?"

Bai Yao looked at him.

He said, "I'm not afraid of the cold."

Then, he hesitated and stretched out a hand to her.

Bai Yao held it tentatively and immediately felt a burst of warmth. She didn't know if it was because he was young and strong, but his body temperature was much higher than hers.

Moreover, in this chilly environment, his body temperature was not affected at all.

Shi Jiu said softly: "Can I?"

It was obvious that he was the one who was going to help, but his cautious tone and humble attitude made it seem as if he was the one who needed help.

Between being reserved and staying alive, Bai Yao chose the latter without hesitation. As soon as she showed signs of moving forward, Shi Jiu had already moved in front of her. She curled up her arms and legs and nestled into his arms.

Through the fabric of clothes, his body temperature was continuously transmitted, like a warm stove, isolating the cold outside.

Bai Yao could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Most of her body could be nestled in his arms, but she was wearing a skirt, so her calves were still exposed to the air. Shi Jiu

took off his coat and wrapped it around her body, covering her legs.

Now he was only wearing a thin black T-shirt, and others felt cold when they saw him.

Bai Yao asked him, "Aren't you cold?"

He shook his head and whispered: "No, my body is warm."

Indeed, Bai Yao could feel his body temperature, the warmth that would not be affected by the cold, which was much stronger than a heater.

Bai Yao had been holding on for a long time without rest, and now he couldn't help but start to feel drowsy.

She didn't say anything, and Shi Jiu didn't dare to say anything either.

He knew that he had soiled her skirt, and now that he was covered in more dust, it was inevitable that the person in his arms would become dirtier. He was afraid that his noisy voice would make her even more disgusted.

Bai Yao's curled up body gradually relaxed, her face pressed against his chest, she closed her eyes, and her breathing was long.

She had fallen asleep.

Shi Jiu lowered his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and his gaze fell on her sleeping face. His eyes were focused, and it was hard to tell whether it was curiosity or observation. He kept the same movement throughout the night. An

unknown amount of time had passed.

When Bai Yao woke up, sunlight was shining in from outside the cave. Although the sunlight still didn't seem to be that warm, it was at least more comfortable than the temperature at night.

The second time she looked, she met the boy's dark eyes.

Shi Jiu smiled, "Ms. Bai, good morning."

He always spoke in a low voice, fearing that a louder voice would disturb others and cause them to be disgusted.

Bai Yao sat up straight, and he also took back his hand holding her.

She asked: "Didn't you sleep at night?"

Shi Jiu said: "I closed my eyes and rested for a while."

Bai Yao returned her coat to him, and she said: "Thank you."

Shi Jiu hugged her clothes, raised the corners of his lips, and smiled innocently, "It's my honor to help you."

Bai Yao glanced at him, she didn't say anything, stood up and stretched, and then said: "We have to go out to find the landing point of the garbage ship." Shi Jiu

stood beside her and nodded obediently, "Okay."

In order to maximize the limited manpower, Bai Yao decided to split up with Shi Jiu. She let his bracelet design the same countdown as hers. Regardless of whether they found relevant information or not, they had to come back here to gather in two hours.

Shi Jiu seemed to have no subjectivity. Whatever Bai Yao said, he agreed.

Bai Yao and Shi Jiu made an appointment, so she headed towards the sandy road on the left. Her steps were neither fast nor slow, but all she could see along the way were sand and garbage.

Among these garbage, discarded synthetics were the most numerous.

Electronic equipment is updated even faster, so perhaps a synthetic bought one year ago would be outdated the next year.

Having a synthetic in one person is as common as having a mobile phone in the 21st century. The higher the ownership rate, the higher the scrapping rate.

Bai Yao knew that synthetics could not be considered humans, they were just machines, but they had the appearance of humans.

This garbage dump is the grave of synthetics, and it also makes people feel as if they are seeing the grave of humans.

Then a strange kind of sadness will arise.

Bai Yao did not find any useful information at the agreed time, so she could only walk back. When she arrived at the meeting place, she did not see the boy.

Shi Jiu did not seem like the kind of person who would break an appointment.

Suddenly, the shadow of a spaceship appeared in the distant sky. The spaceship was still descending, and the engine roared, like a beast falling into this desolate land.

That was the direction Shi Jiu was going.

The black-haired boy picked up a bunch of parts that might still be usable, and his eyes were fixed on the spaceship falling from the sky.

The dust blew wildly on his black hair and loose clothes, making people worry whether he would be torn to pieces by this gust of wind.

The spaceship with the letters "SpR" printed on it landed steadily, the hatch opened, and a bunch of useless synths were thrown out of the spaceship one after another and onto the ground.

Several synths had broken limbs, with circuits and bones exposed, but they were still "alive".

Their bodies trembled a few times, with electric light and sparks, and finally their eyes emitted a faint blue light, and they lay on the ground motionless, and were then drowned by the newly thrown synths.

Two men in company uniforms appeared at the cabin door.

A tall man complained: "It's unfortunate that we are always asked to do the hard labor."

The other short man was also in a bad mood, "This garbage planet smells bad, and the air makes people uncomfortable. I really don't want to come to this damn place again."

The first man took out a card and shook it, saying meaningfully: "I got a coupon for Dreamland. I heard that there are a lot of good stuff there recently. When we go back, we will go there to play." The second man

immediately smiled and said: "Sure." Shi Jiu

looked for a long time, and when all the movements stopped, the things in his hands fell to the ground, and he walked out from the corner.
