Don't pick up the wild people on the roadside (Twenty-two)
Five minutes later, the candy box suddenly became quiet.
Jiang Yuanshi was a little surprised as to why it quieted down so quickly, so he got closer to take a look.
Oh, the battery is out of power, it’s in hibernation.
In front of everyone, Jiang Yuanshi picked up the candy box and opened the lid.
Everyone in the gang:!
Those who remained in the room were the members who had discussed last night. Naturally, they all knew the importance of the candy box lid. Unfortunately, this human also knew it. Even if the other party helped them, this young man's methods and behaviors were inconsistent with his age. It must be said that the way the other party casually held the knife with the hand that was shot was deeply imprinted in their minds, and they felt fear.
Just as they were wary of the other party's next step, Jiang Yuanshi took out a very small power bank from his pocket and plugged the connecting cable into the square-shaped component interface inside the candy box.
"Charging..." The candy box's display screen lit up and a cartoon sound played.
The robots can quickly wake up if they are exposed to even 0.1% of the power source, and the candy box is no exception.
Two round eyes appeared on the screen, blinking and looking at Jiang Yuan in confusion. When they reacted and were about to warm up for the next attack, a battery was stuffed into their mouths.
Candy Box: "Don't you (chew chew chew) think that (chew chew chew) a battery (chew chew chew) can please me!"
"Don't move." Jiang Yuanshi gently pressed the candy box, unplugged the connecting cable, took back the power bank, and closed the lid on it.
Candy Box looked at the power bank that had been taken back and said unhappily, "You treat the power bank better than you treat me. Do you care so much about its energy?"
Jiang Yuanshi sighed helplessly, took out the power bank and turned on the switch: "See, it's out of power. It's dead. I picked it up a while ago. It's the only one I have. I never used it. I gave you the remaining power. You're still blaming me for it. You're really something, Jiang Tang."
The candy box snorted twice. He would not be tempted by such petty gains...right?
"Wait, what did you call me?"
"Jiang Tang..." Jiang Yuanshi said weakly, "I was just teasing you. I was wrong. Be quiet, Chief. Your subordinates are still watching you."
"Whatever, the name is mine?" Jiang Tang looked at Jiang Yuanshi with wide eyes. Jiang Yuanshi nodded and promised in the other party's urgent eyes, "It's yours. Once sold, no returns are allowed. Okay, you really don't care about other people's opinions at all."
"Who's watching? Let me see!"
Jiang Tang put her hands on her hips and looked around, and everyone around looked up at the sky.
"Well, it's a nice day today."
“Your ceiling is nice, too.”
Jiang Tang turned back to Jiang Yuan confidently: "Look! There is nothing."
No, we are all deaf and blind.
Dr. Hariri, who was closest to him, put the scalpel behind him back into the tray and said, “Mr. Jiang, although I know that you have a good relationship with the leader, I hope you will not open the leader’s lid at will in other places.”
Jiang Yuanshi: "Yes, I know. I opened it this time because everyone knew me."
"Thank you for your cooperation." Hariri said, "Thank you for your help this time. The traitor has been caught. From now on, you will be a distinguished guest in the danger zone and protected by the two major gangs. If there are any parts you need, you can make a list and we will help you keep an eye out."
"Ah, thank you, but may I know how you deal with traitors?"
"Isn't that simple?" said the one-armed bearded man sitting on the paint bucket sofa with his legs apart. "Of course, we should dig out his two artificial eyes and throw him into exile."
Jiang Yuanshi: "That's it?"
"What do you mean that's all? Do you know how dangerous it is in the danger zone at night? That guy has lost his eyes, and there is no way he can get any supplies in the future. It's like letting him die. Isn't that enough? What do you want to do?"
Jiang Yuanshi blurted out: "I thought you would kill him and hang his body in the garbage dump under surveillance to show it to the guys in the upper city, or dig out his eyes and break his hands and feet at the same time to reduce the risk of escape and collusion."
“…………”
silence.
Everyone was silent, staring at Jiang Yuanshi with an indescribable look.
Hariri said politely: "Mr. Jiang, the number of deaths in the lower city is countless, and people die every day, so..."
"So you guys usually don't do anything unless you can?"
Hariri nodded. Jiang Yuanshi didn't expect that the gangs in the danger zone were so kind. In comparison, he seemed more like the worst.
Jiang Tang patted Jiang Yuanshi's arm and said, "You killed too quickly. Death is a relief for the betrayer. How could he feel good about it?"
?
Jiang Yuanshi: “Is that so?” Why does it feel like others don’t mean that?
Jiang Tang patted his body and said, "That's it. Hariri told me that this is the most painful way to die."
Chronic death is indeed painful, but it is obvious that the ideas that Jiang Tang was instilled with are inconsistent with reality. Jiang Yuanshi is very clear that when he said those words, there was disbelief and horror in those humans' eyes, as if they were looking at a monster.
The monster felt his hair being pulled, and he looked sideways: "Z01, what are you doing?"
Z01 said nothing but gently pulled Jiang Yuanshi's hair. Because the makeshift body was too small and too light, the whole body was suspended in the air, swinging like a swing: "Your hair is stuck in my body."
No wonder, he is Z01, how could he do something that is out of character like swinging on a swing.
He tried to look down, lowered his head to separate the hair from the oval head, and put it on the table. Hariri saw this and asked, "Mr. Jiang, excuse me, who is this?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Oh, yesterday I was holding that head, and it was too heavy, so I used the extra materials to make a small robot, which was barely usable."
Hariri: "This one doesn't seem to have any facial features."
Jiang Yuanshi: “It’s true that there is no complete one, but it’s enough as long as it has sensory functions.”
"What do you mean by complete?"
Jiang Yuanshi nodded his oval head, ordering the other party to open his eyes. The outer shell in the center of the oval lifted up and disappeared like an eyelid, revealing a red eye that was staring directly at Hariri.
Jiang Tang moved closer and tried to sneak attack and poke it, but was dodged and said, "Isn't this the eye of the traitor? Did you pick it up and put it on him?"
"After the fight, you were all picking up equipment, but he didn't. I thought he probably didn't want it anymore, so he just picked it up and left."
Jiang Tang jumped up: "Idiot! Do you know that this guy's eyes are not normal? Isn't he afraid of being monitored?"
"The Lower City has always been under surveillance, so having one more eye won't be a big problem. Don't you think this eye is quite cute on him?" The oval head leaned against Jiang Yuanshi's fingers, and closed his eyes as the other's fingers gently rubbed against his. "By the way, I modified this one now, and it has lost its surveillance function, so our actions will not be exposed."
Hariri's display screen flashed: "Mr. Jiang, do you know what you are talking about? Transforming the company's things, things that even the company's R&D personnel cannot do."
The bandaged hand was still rubbing the oval head from time to time. Jiang Tang said nothing but was angry. He quietly ran over and tried to pull the other person away. The oval head opened his eyes and silently glanced at Jiang Tang, then rubbed against it again.
This made Jiang Tang furious again, but Jiang Tang did not scream like before. Instead, he calmly started a new round of silent competition with the oval head.
Jiang Yuanshi held his chin with one hand, watching the battle between the two robots. He smiled and said to Hariri, "I can separate the head from the head, so why can't I transform it? Please look carefully, this is not a completely red eye."
A group of people stepped forward quietly, and the oval head on the table blocked the way very calmly. The red eye was different from the artificial eyes made by the company with codes imprinted on the pupils. There was nothing inside, only a deep black color.
"This...is definitely not the work of the company."
"This is impossible..."
"You...are you really not kidding us?"
That look of looking at a monster appeared again, but this time it was mixed with hope.
"Why did I lie to you? To die faster?" Jiang Yuanshi rubbed his fingers and said, "If you don't believe me, you can find something to try on me, but don't make it too big, I only have one hand now."
After that, Hariri broke the silence and said: "Please allow us to discuss it."
Jiang Yuanshi waved his hand and let you do whatever you want.
Except for the candy box, all the gang members gathered in the corner, and they didn't know how they could not hear any sound.
However, Jiang Yuanshi didn't care. He just concentrated on watching the round-based fight whose outcome had already been decided.
It can be seen that Z01 held back this time, probably because he was afraid that Jiang Tang would break down and cry again. In the end, the score was 6 to 5, and Z01 narrowly won.
Jiang Tang panted and said, "I'm making rapid progress. I will definitely beat you next time!"
The oval head didn't say anything, but just returned to lie down next to Jiang Yuanshi's hand. Seeing this, Jiang Tang also ran over and lay down next to Jiang Yuanshi's hand.
The two robots looked up at Jiang Yuanshi.
Jiang Yuanshi: ...
"You guys don't want to fight anymore?"
Jiang Tang nodded and said, "I'll definitely do that next time."
The oval head said nothing, just blinked.
Jiang Yuanshi said helplessly: "Z01, will you die if you say two more words?"
Z01's oval head continued to blink.
Jiang Tang also blinked and reacted. As he lay down and looked at Jiang Yuan, he stretched out his arm and pointed at the robot beside him. He said in disbelief, "Z01? The artificial intelligence that you are not familiar with? Why did you bring him out?"
Jiang Tang excitedly hit Z01's eyes. Z01 refused to give in and closed his eyes and pinched the other person's hand with his eyelids.
"Ah!" Jiang Tang cried out, but because she was the one who started it, she couldn't say much. She just stood up and carefully rubbed against Jiang Yuanshi's side, begging for comfort pitifully, saying, "Aren't you two on bad terms?"
Jiang Yuanshi pinched Jiang Tang's mechanical hand with two fingers: "Well... we have to cooperate when necessary."
"Oh~~ I don't believe it." Jiang Tangguo said, "You really think I'm a child. You said that Z01 hates you, but this guy is still sticking to you like crazy, and you even touched him! You are basically secretly having an affair! "
"..." Jiang Yuanshi knocked on Jiang Tang's lid, "Don't use random words."
Jiang Tang snorted. The oval head not far away was still lying there without any reaction, but its open eyes were rolling around, as if it was thinking about something.
It goes without saying that Z01 went to search for translation again.
Jiang Yuanshi tapped the lid of Jiangtang and asked, "You can only lift the lid if you want to eat? Didn't your maker make an external mouth for you?"
Jiang Tang: "No, who knows what that guy was thinking? He probably just made me for fun and then just threw me away and ran away."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Not necessarily. What if he has something important to do? After all, you have the most unique chip."
Two horizontal bars appeared on the Jiangtang display: — —
"So what? I'm still a robot, right?" Jiang Tang said with a disappointed tone, "I don't want a unique chip at all. I just don't want to be left behind. I hate being alone."
“…”
"But it's okay now, I found you! A new human!" Jiang Tang adjusted herself and spun in circles holding Jiang Yuanshi's hand.
Jiang Yuanshi sighed and said nothing more.
Not long after, the gang members came back. The only difference was that they brought two children with them. Each of them was missing an eye. The thing stuffed in the missing eye looked very much like the glass beads that Jiang Yuanshi had seen in his childhood.
Hariri stood at the front and said: "Mr. Jiang, we apologize for our previous rude suspicion of you. We all choose to believe you and bring our greatest sincerity."
Hariri stepped aside, and the bearded man led two children to Jiang Yuanshi and said, "They are all my children. Both of them are missing an artificial eye. If possible, please help me. I will try my best to get you whatever you want."
Jiang Yuanshi could never have imagined that such a big project would happen right from the start, and that people would trust him so easily?
"No, don't you guys want to test my strength? What if I'm just lying to you?"
The sturdy man took a deep breath and said, "It's okay to lie. To be honest, it's not that we are stupid enough to believe it easily, but the children can't wait. When my wife gave birth to them, the prosthesis was infected, and the children were also infected. We were lucky. When they were five years old, one of their eyes was completely necrotic and couldn't be used. There are not many newborns in the downtown area, and there are no suitable eyeballs for them to use. We can only stuff those toy beads into their eyes to prevent shrinkage. Now they are six and a half years old, and the beads are not big enough. There is no new thing to pick up, so I want to take a gamble."
Jiang Yuanshi: "You trust me too much."
The sturdy man laughed and said, "It's a dead end anyway, so it's not a loss to take a gamble."
Hariri continued bluntly: "Even if it is a deception, at least your ability to deceive is unheard of in the Lower City. Everyone in the Danger Zone will try their best to find the right materials for you. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, you will always be a distinguished guest in the Danger Zone."
It's such a big burden. Jiang Yuanshi sighed. Hariri thought the other party was dissatisfied, so he asked Jiang Tang to come over. After mumbling in front of Jiang Yuanshi for a while, Jiang Tang jumped back and said, "No matter whether you succeed or not, as long as you ask, you can be our leader! Hello, new leader!"
"Hello, new leader!" Jiang Tang responded immediately.
"Stop it." Jiang Yuanshi pressed his forehead, annoyed by the noise, "I didn't say I wanted to be the boss. Did you give it to me because you don't want to do it anymore?"
Jiang Tang pointed to her finger: "No."
Jiang Yuanshi made a stop gesture: "I refuse to be the leader, and we will talk about other things later. Now I have a condition. If you are sure that you want to remove the traitor's artificial eye, please give it to me after you remove it, okay?"
The sturdy man was stunned: "Of course, you can, but what are you going to do? That guy can't put his eyes into the eyes of a child."
Jiang Yuanshi: "I plan to disassemble it and analyze its components, and then try to make a new one, but it will take some time, and I may need your help."
"You want to make a new one?"
"You want to make a new one?"
"What? New?"
For a moment, Jiang Yuanshi finally experienced what it meant for the sound to echo through the empty valley.
