Chapter 619 Return
Pollution Zone No. 6.
The people were completely unaware of what was happening outside.
The armored vehicle rolled through the last twisted section of the tunnel and plunged into a completely different area.
In an instant, the sky brightened and the turbulence came to an abrupt end.
Xia Mingang gripped the handle tightly, and the moment he saw the scene outside, he questioned his existence. "What's going on? Am I hallucinating from being jostled around?"
All that could be seen outside the car was the view outside.
The streets were spotless, lined with shady trees, and flowerbeds were filled with blue flowers that I had never seen before, emitting a soft glow, making the whole street look like a dream.
The buildings, each with a distinct style, are arranged in a staggered pattern.
The nearest school to them is one with a huge arched dome.
The school gate is designed with a childlike touch, with cloud patterns carved on the arched gate and two adorable mechanical bear sculptures standing beside it.
Through the car window, Fu Heng saw a cleaning robot silently gliding by on the street.
She seemed to have a guess, and looked up at the driver's seat, "Is this your home?"
Yun Zhao slowed down the car, stared at the scenery outside, and nodded slowly, "This is my home before I was six years old."
It's exactly the same as the scene in the spiritual realm.
Based on fragments from her childhood, she had long remembered the existence of school.
At that time, the nanny robot was responsible for teaching her to read. Sometimes she was unwilling to study, so the robots would simulate school scenes, take her to school to play and learn at the same time, and even imitate 'parents' to pick her up and drop her off at school.
"Is this whole area schools?"
Jiang Mu, with his sharp eyes, realized that this was not a street at all, but an entire district.
The entire area appears to be full of schools.
Cloud Kindergarten, Cloud Primary School, Cloud Middle School... Each building has a unique design and is full of fairytale charm. From kindergarten to university campus, all facilities are readily available.
Why open so many schools?
Xia Mingang, without any restraint, asked Yun Zhao, "Does your father know that he won't be coming back?"
Yun Zhao swerved the steering wheel and almost crashed into a roadside flowerbed, but Xie Tu caught him in time.
Her face was expressionless. "No, he might just have OCD."
The education system needs to be improved; she may not need it, but it's essential.
Xia Mingang shrugged: "Yeah, what if your father thinks you're a genius and you go to university at three years old..." It's absurd to even think about it.
At this moment, the little bluebird suddenly turned its head, flapped its wings and flew to the back of the car, standing in front of Xia Mingang and cursing.
Bixi translated it for him word for word.
It calls you an idiot, a moron, a moron... and tells you to shut up, or it'll throw you out to be fed to the red-eyed monster...
Xia Mingang: "..."
No one else on the bus said a word.
Although Yun Zhao said it was safe here, it was still a contaminated area, so the sentries remained vigilant, their eyes following the cleaning robots moving outside the vehicle.
Xie Tu stood quietly behind her, looking down at her, "Do you want to go down and take a look?"
Yun Zhao nodded slightly and turned off the car.
Only then did the sentries dare to loosen their grip on the handles.
The dozen or so people huddled on the roof of the vehicle helped the injured person get off the vehicle quickly.
On both sides of the road, flower beds are filled with unidentified blue flowers, shimmering with a faint light, blooming so beautifully that people dare not approach.
A group of people stood in the middle of the road, their curious eyes tinged with a hint of wariness, looking around with their weapons in hand.
Jiang Mu jumped out of the car, patted the wrinkles on his combat uniform, and his gaze naturally fell on the only moving object on the edge of the street.
It was a simple and sleek cartoon-style cleaning robot.
Painted entirely pink, with flexible omnidirectional wheels at the base, and equipped with a rotating brush head and suction nozzle at the front of the robotic arm, it silently glides along a fixed route, cleaning the already spotless floor.
It was also towed by equipment, a mini sprinkler truck with the same cartoon design.
It's unbelievable that even fourteen years after Yun Zhao left, these robots are still working methodically.
Fu Meng followed closely behind, carrying the Gatling gun. Sensing no danger nearby, she said, "Let's quickly find a place to discuss our next move."
Red Eyes is just too powerful.
Even Yun Zhao couldn't defeat it, so they had to readjust their battle plan.
"Don't forget, this is just one of the gatekeepers."
Xia Mingang casually chimed in, "We'll have to deal with this sooner or later anyway, so why don't we get back up from where we fell, regroup, and then fight our way out again?"
Jiang Mu raised his eyelids, about to speak, when his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he looked at the cleaning robot by the roadside again.
However, during the brief exchange, the robot suddenly stopped working, as if it had sensed living beings, and silently began to turn its wheels to face the crowd.
A laser cannon had somehow appeared on its head, its muzzle pointing directly at the crowd.
"Intruder detected. Initiate cleaning procedure."
A cheerful electronic sound suddenly broke the eerie silence of the street.
The laser cannon rapidly charged, emitting a dangerous red light, and precisely locked onto Jiang Mu, who was standing at the forefront.
"Holy crap!" Xia Mingang reacted quickly, shouting to everyone, "Quick, find cover!"
"Click".
Yun Zhao was a few beats slower. He had just put on his backpack, opened the car door, and got out with Xie Tu.
Her boots made a soft sound as they stepped lightly on the smooth, mirror-like floor.
The moment her figure was fully revealed, the sound of the laser cannon on top of the robot charging abruptly stopped.
The crimson aiming dot vanished instantly, and the raised gun barrel retracted into the casing at an astonishing speed, the sliding cover closing perfectly.
Immediately afterwards.
The mini cartoon sprinkler truck played melodious music as the cleaning robot towed the truck along the route, starting to water the flowers in the flower beds.
It was as if nothing had just happened.
The sentries, who were on high alert and even in defensive stances, froze in place, weapons in hand, watching helplessly as the robot, now back to "normal," drove away.
Seeing that they were all standing there blankly, Yun Zhao looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Mu put down the gun in his hand and said in as calm a tone as possible, "Nothing much."
It seems that the so-called safety here is only for Yun Zhao.
Xie Tu watched the cleaning robot's departing figure.
Its identification system uses very absolute criteria to distinguish between 'intruders' and 'one of our own'.
Apart from Yun Zhao, all living, moving creatures are invaders.
The program may be modified.
However, Xie Tu, for Yun Zhao's safety, did not intend to speak.
"Let's go," Yun Zhao called to them, "Let's go rest in the castle."
At the end of the street lies the familiar lake, and all the buildings are constructed around the park and lake, not far apart.
Yun Zhao wanted to explore as he went, so he simply left the car there.
I thought to myself, I'll just call two robots to come and haul it away later.
The group nodded blankly, their eyes filled with complex and unreadable expressions as they followed behind her.
After walking a few steps, the exterior lights of all the buildings suddenly lit up in unison, creating a soft halo.
The cheerful music from the water trucks echoed through the streets.
At the same time, the amusement park rides several blocks away lit up, as if the entire ghost town had awakened from a long slumber.
It made it even more eerie.
This "fairytale town," built for her but forgotten by her, is welcoming its owner back in this way.
