Chapter 142 The Day Code Fell in Love (12)
Shi Jiu then sealed the glass jar and put it into his backpack.
Bai Yao glanced at the sky which was getting darker. It should be raining soon. She said, "Let's go back quickly."
Shi Jiu nodded.
When they stood up and walked back, Bai Yao hadn't reacted yet. Shi Jiu suddenly threw her to the ground. He protected her head with his arms, being very careful not to hurt her.
The next second, a black creature jumped down from the tree and landed on the ground.
It was huge, with an inconspicuous head and several thin and long legs. It looked like a reptile like a scorpion on Earth, but its tail was exceptionally long. The joints looked very powerful, and its body was covered with a layer of disgusting mucus.
If it wasn't for Shi Jiu, this disgusting creature would have landed directly on Bai Yao.
There were rustling sounds coming from the surrounding trees, and there were many dangerous peeping in the dark.
There are bugs everywhere!
Bai Yao was pulled up by Shi Jiu, and there was no time to think too much, they ran back along the way they came.
These unknown creatures moved very quickly, and they jumped down from the trees one after another in a dense manner. Bai Yao's electric gun did not have much effect on them.
They seemed to be only interested in living things, so their targets were all focused on Bai Yao.
While escaping, Shi Jiu raised his hand to block a black creature that pounced on Bai Yao's head.
The reptile's legs and tail were tightly wrapped around his arm. It opened its mouth and made a piercing sound. Several sparks flashed from the circuit, and Shi Jiu's arm was torn off.
It was just a matter of a moment.
Warnings kept flashing in front of Shi Jiu's eyes.
[Warning, warning, the body is seriously damaged, warning, warning...]
Bai Yao called out: "Shi Jiu!"
He suddenly seemed to have regained his consciousness from his trance, watching Bai Yao in front of him kick away a black bug that tried to approach, ran back and grabbed his intact hand, and led him to run forward.
Behind him was the alien creature chasing him relentlessly. The power of two people... no, it should be said that it was the power of one person, which was so small.
She is a smart person.
He should have known that leaving him behind to stop those creatures would not matter, because he was just a machine, he was not "dead".
Just like after turning off the emotion simulation function, he would not feel pain even if he lost an arm.
Shi Jiu looked at Bai Yao who was constantly shuttling between the black shadows of the trees, and he said calmly: "Miss Bai, I will stop them, you go first."
Bai Yao panted, "Don't talk nonsense, the spaceship is just ahead, run quickly!"
The sharp branches scratched several bloody marks on her exposed skin, and her skirt was torn in several places. The ponytail she tied up was scattered because of the intense running, and the end of her hair lightly touched his chest.
Unlike synthetic humans, she cannot use other people's skin to heal her own wounds.
Shi Jiu looked at her quietly, and in his black eyes, a dark red light vaguely emerged again.
The spaceship was getting closer.
Bai Yao pulled Shi Jiu up the gangway, but before they reached the door, the alien creatures behind them had caught up. At that moment, Bai Yao was pushed by the person behind her, and she fell forward, passed through the door, and entered the spaceship.
At the same time, the black-haired boy who was blocking the road outside was bitten by two alien creatures and dragged out.
[The damage to the machine has reached 40%, 50%, 60%... about to shut down, warning, warning...]
Shi Jiu didn't pay attention to the words that kept appearing in front of him. He looked straight ahead, the direction where she was. "Miss Bai, close the door."
His body was being torn apart, but his voice was still so calm.
Bai Yao watched him lose another leg with her eyes wide open. She didn't know what happened to her. Another broken body seemed to appear in front of her.
Tears fell from her eyes unconsciously, but what was inconsistent with her crying, which could perhaps be defined as weakness, was that she quickly got up from the ground and pulled down the fire extinguisher hanging on the wall.
She rushed out, first using a fire extinguisher to smash a black creature that was biting Shi Jiu, and then opened the fire extinguisher at another black creature. The moment the white powdery substance spurted out, it was frozen into an ice block.
Bai Yao kicked it to pieces, and then aimed the fire extinguisher at another black creature that rushed over. The moment it solidified into ice, she smashed it with the fire extinguisher with inexplicable hatred.
She didn't feel relieved.
But more and more black creatures rushed over, and she threw the fire extinguisher at them. While they were dodging, she bent down and dragged the disabled Shi Jiu into the cabin door.
The spaceship's gangway was retracted, the cabin door was closed, and the danger was isolated outside.
Shi Jiu lay on the ground.
He was missing an arm, a leg, half of his face was torn to pieces, half of his body was bitten horribly, and his metal skeleton and wiring were exposed to the air.
His body was severely damaged and he couldn't move.
He could only try his best to turn the ugly half of his face away, "Miss Bai, don't look at me."
Warm liquid dripped onto his body drop by drop. This temperature seemed to be hotter than any substance in his database, making people feel uneasy.
But this was not right.
When his body was damaged, it could no longer support the operation of various functions, and the emotional simulation function was automatically shut down. He would not feel "panic".
A pair of trembling hands turned Shi Jiu's face back.
What he saw was Bai Yao who was crying.
She was looking at him, as if she was suffering from some kind of stress disorder, tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes, her pretty face was pale and bloodless, dotted with tear marks, and looked so weak that it seemed like it could break at any time.
Shi Jiu's eyes flashed with strange light as she kept reporting errors.
Why was she crying?
She didn't cry when the escape capsule malfunctioned, she didn't cry when she fell on the garbage planet, and she didn't cry when she inexplicably came to this desolate planet.
[Analyzing the meaning of this behavior...]
Shi Jiu's database was running rapidly, looking for the possibility of her crying through her micro-expressions.
But he was too badly damaged, and this would take some time.
Bai Yao had already bent down, and a warm kiss fell on his lips.
The data that was jumping in Shi Jiu's eyes and was invisible to the naked eye stopped in an instant.
A long time passed.
He ignored the warning sound of the damaged body, spent the available power on the relatively intact arm, raised his hand to cover the back of her head, and pressed her more and more towards himself.
The boy opened his lips slightly, and the tip of his tongue darted into her mouth, intertwining with her madly.
[Big data comparison and analysis is successful, the existence of this behavior is because of love]
