Don't pick up the wild people on the roadside (Twenty-one)
"It's bullshit!"
"This is not what we agreed on! What a big hole! Wuuuuuuu, Jiang Jiang is an idiot! Who told you to catch the bullet with your hands! Wuuuuuuuuu!"
The sound of the cartoon collapse pierced the eardrums of everyone present, especially Jiang Yuan who was receiving treatment nearby.
Going deaf.
"Is there a possibility that someone shot me in the hand?"
"You knew he was going to shoot, yet you caught it with your hands! And you blocked it. Do you know that humans are very vulnerable to infection? Idiot!"
Two symmetrical fountains flow continuously on the candy box screen.
Very good, I turned a deaf ear and was completely immersed in my own sorrow, totally ignoring the horrified, unbelievable and stunned expressions of the younger brothers standing around me.
So how do you stop?
"It's okay, Mr. Jiang. Just wait until the leader runs out of power." said the slender black robot that was treating the wound on Jiang Yuanshi's hand.
"Is that so?" You really have no dignity, Tangtang.
"But your behavior of not dodging even though you knew the other party would attack was beyond our expectations. You did not mention it in the plan we discussed yesterday."
"We can't help it. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. Isn't this more realistic? A scavenger in the old, weak and disabled area can't be as agile as a professional killer. Besides, if there is no bloodshed, we won't be able to provide visual enjoyment to the audience in the upper city. Those who don't like watching movies will not let us go so easily."
Jiang Yuanshi said this calmly as the slender robot once again carefully examined the opponent's wound.
The bullet pierced through the palm of his left hand, leaving a round hole and causing severe nerve disconnection. The two gangs searched the house collectively for a long time before they found some effective hemostatic agents. However, even if the bleeding was stopped, the pain could not be stopped. The wound was gently wiped with disinfectant, but except for the occasional tremor of the fingers and sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead, the expression of the injured person did not change much, as if it was a common occurrence.
Strange human beings.
The slender robot couldn't help but recall what happened last night.
The leader who was always on the run finally returned to the territory, summoned a group of old guys, and then proudly announced -
"I! I found a human servant!"
They were all old acquaintances, and except for important occasions, there was no distinction of authority or rank among them on weekdays. They all yawned and applauded their little leader.
Clap, clap, clap.
"There's also good news. I have a name now! It's Jiang Tang, which means Jiang for river and Tang for candy!"
Bang bang bang!
"What a great name! Boss Jiang Tang!"
"Hehehe, the human I picked up brought it to me!"
Bang bang bang!
The applause and cheering meeting finally came to an end, and everyone began to tell Jiang Tang about the problems in the gang and the sudden changes in the garbage dump.
The latter can still rely on brute force, but for the former, many people in the danger zone have recently experienced contact problems of varying degrees. This problem, which seems to be a common problem in the downtown area, can be said to be a fatal hidden danger for those living in the danger zone.
The reason why the danger zone is called the danger zone is not because of the ferocity and fighting of the gangs, but the environment of the danger zone itself. Every night, unknown dirty and corrosive gases appear in the air and permeate the entire danger zone. Therefore, most of the places where they live have to be patched with new materials or even rebuilt every few months.
People seldom go out at night, but in order to survive, they will go out in the corrosive air to look for supplies. Minor poor contact may lead to a complete interruption if one is not careful. People or machines exposed to the air will not die after a night, but will be almost corroded. In serious cases, they may even be killed without a complete body.
"Didn't you find out the reason?"
"I checked, but found nothing. It's like nothing happened."
"Yes, even Lao Ha, an advanced medical robot, couldn't find the problem. When you were away, we discussed it for a long time and we all thought that the chip was tampered with. After all, it all belongs to the company, so if they really want to control it, it's not impossible."
"But the premise of all this is that they know our correct serial number. We have changed our chips so many times over the years. It can only be that the gang members are colluding with the higher-ups. We recently checked and found eight guys who are suspicious. We just can't think of any good way to deal with them. It just so happens that you are back, Xiaotang, and we want to ask if you have any solution."
Jiang Tang's screen began to spin for at least three minutes, and she seemed to be at a loss. Perhaps because she was thinking, she said unconsciously: "As for the chip, the human I picked up has been learning it recently, and it seems to be doing quite well."
Everyone sighed: "Xiaotang, there are so many people who can make chips, and even if they can, they are only half-baked."
Jiang Tang put her hands on her hips and said, "Who said that? He's obviously a big shot! He's not making chips, he's trying to modify them!"
"You showed him your chip? Do you know that this is very dangerous? Didn't we agree not to tell anyone else except us? It would be terrible if someone in Upper City found out!"
Jiang Tang shrank back: "I didn't show it to him! He doesn't know anything about it! He wanted to create a chip that is not controlled by the company, so that the people on their side will not be in danger of being controlled!"
The gang member frowned, "Anyone can say nice things, and he's not the only one in the Lower City with such ambitions, but have they appeared in all these years? Either they're dead or they've given up! Xiaotang, I know you met a human you like very much, but that doesn't mean this human won't be a danger to you."
Jiang Tang muttered softly: "I think he can do it... and I didn't ask him to help."
Jiang Tang's protective behavior might be a good thing in the eyes of Jiang Yuanshi's people, but for everyone in the danger zone, their leader now seems to be confused and lost. They are not worried about what the human will do to them, nor do they care about Jiang Tang's betrayal. They are just worried about Jiang Tang herself. If a child with a new chip is exposed, how much abuse will he suffer.
"Xiaotang, are you sure that person didn't see your chip?"
"Definitely not!" Jiang Tang said with certainty.
"Your lid has never been opened, has it?"
"......Hmm." He hesitated.
Several old guys in the gang sighed. Jiang Tang sensed something was wrong and said, "You can't do anything to him! He didn't do anything!"
"We can't do it even if we want to, right? You know we can't get to the other end of the alley."
Jiang Tang's screen flashed, and she said as if she had made some important decision: "...At worst, I won't look for him anymore!"
Everyone was silent, no one knew what it meant, but their expressions said it all.
Jiang Tang's cartoon voice was full of disappointment: "I know. I'll tell him tomorrow that I have something to do and won't be back, otherwise he will come looking for me."
"That's a good thing, it saves us from looking for it."
"You guys! You guys are going too far. He's just an ordinary human being. Why are you bullying him? I told you I won't go looking for him anymore!"
Jiang Tang's thinking is always as innocent as a child. I don't know how old this robot is in human terms, but it looks pretty young.
They couldn't bear to do that to the child, but he had the ability to be a leader. So this was considered a compromise by the leader, and finally they nodded and agreed.
"Well, I hope you can do that, otherwise we will still capture that human if he shows up in the danger zone."
"Oh...I did what I said."
"Since you've kept your word, you still have to lead the way for me tomorrow. You won't go back on your word, right?"
"Of course not! I—?" Jiang Tang answered subconsciously. When she reacted, she stood up and turned to look at the source of the sound. She saw a tall young man holding a square head and walking out of the dark alley. The gang members immediately became alert. Jiang Yuanshi didn't care about the sight of those people. He just smiled at Jiang Tang and said, "Don't regret it."
Jiang Tang was stunned. After being offline for a long time, he suddenly jumped up three feet high: "Why are you here? No, how long have you been listening? No, why are you here now instead of sleeping? %@#￥&￥"
It seems to be disordered.
Jiang Yuanshi answered honestly: "I followed you here and listened to everything from beginning to end."
"You idiot!"
Several members of the gang remained silent. One of them, the slender one, said, "It seems that you are the human that the leader mentioned. From what you said, it seems that you are not worried about your personal safety."
Jiang Yuanshi smiled formally: "After all, no one noticed me, right? If I didn't show up, you wouldn't seem to be able to sense my presence."
Others in the gang: "…what did you do?"
Jiang Yuanshi tapped the robot's head in his hand and said, "Nothing special, just a little trick."
Is that the key to the robot head?
Just as everyone was about to make a move, Jiang Yuanshi spoke again as if he had foreseen it: "I suggest you don't try to take what's in my hand. If you leave me, I will explode instantly. Of course, if I lose my vital signs, the result will be the same. I think everyone just wants to survive, there's no need to hurt both sides, right?"
The atmosphere reached a freezing point, and finally Slim broke the silence and asked, "What is your purpose?"
"Oh, I just can't stand you bullying kids, and using your numbers to bully the few. Oh, and you're also taking advantage of your seniority and using moral blackmail." Jiang Yuanshi answered casually and straightforwardly.
Jiang Tang got so angry that he yelled "I'm not a kid!", and the gang members yelled with red necks "Who bullied him? And who are you calling old, you little white face!"
"Whatever you say, I just came out to see my Jiang Tang not sleeping. Since she heard about your affairs, she probably can't avoid you. It would be difficult for Jiang Tang to avoid you." Jiang Yuanshi still had a smile on his face, but there was no emotion on his face. He said, "Let's make a deal. If it succeeds, Jiang Tang will be free. If it fails, I will let you do whatever you want."
"Tsk, what can a human with skinny arms and legs like you do? I think you're still an Omega."
"I can help you find the traitor, and I won't lose any manpower." Before the gang members could taunt him, Jiang Yuanshi continued, "By the way, although I can't modify chips, I am good at detecting chip anomalies, modifying simple prosthetics, or escaping by separating the head from the body."
"Head and body separated? Do you know what you are talking about? Once a robot is disconnected, it is useless! You can say anything to save your life."
"Oh, really? Z01, show us your skills - oh no, say something."
Jiang Yuanshi patted the head in his hand, and the screen on the robot head lit up, saying: "Hello, robot Z01 is at your service."
Jiang Tang:?
Everyone in the gang: ???!
Unbelievable, the eyes on the other side were bulging out, and one of the robot's eyes rolled to Jiang Yuanshi's feet. Jiang Yuanshi silently took out his handkerchief and picked up the eyeball. The eyeball was empty and lifeless. He said puzzledly: "Strange, it turns out that the robot's eyes don't work independently? The last time I saw you fighting, an eyeball rolled over and seemed to look at me. It shouldn't be my illusion, after all, that eye was flashing a weird light."
The robot with one eye missing said, "What did you say? Moving eyes? From our gang?"
"I don't know whether it was done by you robots or humans, but it's an artificial eye. Oh, I'm not mistaken, it seems to be red. Is there any problem?" Jiang Yuanshi asked curiously.
Compared to his ease, the other side fell silent again. After looking at each other, the slender leader said, "In view of your concern for the leader, we accept your deal. After the deal is done, you will be protected by the gang and have no obstacles in the dangerous area."
"All right, let's find a place to discuss it first. I need to go back to sleep after we're done."
“…”
No one holds out hope, but everyone is still hoping for the best. What if?
The young man with slender eyes, who disguised himself as unreliable, finally gave them a plan that shocked them, and they finally decided on it because it was indeed the fastest and most labor-saving, and even took into account the upper and lower urban areas.
The plan of trapping oneself was a great success and no one was injured except the young man himself.
crazy.
Calm madness.
More intimidating than the frenzy of big moves.
He uses everyone and himself.
"Um...doctor? Aren't we done yet? I feel like my hand is going to spark." Jiang Yuanshi's words brought Xi Changtiao back to his senses. While recalling, Xi Changtiao unconsciously used disinfectant to wipe the young man's wound over and over again. Although the young man still smiled politely, he looked miserable.
"I'm sorry, I'll bandage it for you right away."
"Not dead." Jiang Yuanshi kept smiling.
It hurts so much, my life is so miserable.
In order to ease the pain, Jiang Yuanshi chose to chat and distract himself: "By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet."
"You're welcome. My name is Hariri, you can just call me Xiaoha."
"Okay, Dr. Xiaoha."
An overly polite child.
After Doctor Xiao Ha finished bandaging the young man's hand, Jiang Yuanshi had no time to look at it before Candy Box got there first, "Let me see, let me see!"
Candy Box's face was about to fall into someone's hand, and Dr. Xiao Ha picked him up: "You are so rude."
Jiang Tang was held in the air and snorted, "He hasn't said anything about me yet! Why are you saying anything about me! Right, Jiang Jiang."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Really? You are the leader and you have the final say."
"What do you mean? Why are you so weird?"
"It's nothing, Master Chief."
"I told you I have a name! Jiang Tang Jiang Tang! You gave it to me! Have you forgotten?"
Jiang Yuanshi smiled but said nothing. He stared at the candy box for a long time before his body suddenly stiffened in mid-air. He hesitated for a long time and said, "...Hey, you're not really going to take it back, are you? No way?"
Jiang Yuanshi didn't say anything.
"Hey! No, you've already gotten up! It's mine! Who else do you want to give it to?!"
The candy box turned into a man fluttering in the air. Suddenly, he saw a guy with an oval head and two thin legs coming out of Jiang Yuanshi's chest pocket. He became even angrier: "Okay, you actually have a new lover! If you don't say anything, are you going to give him my name? I won't allow us to fight one-on-one!"
The candy box struggled to the ground like a live fish and declared war on the oval-headed man: "Let's fight one-on-one!"
The oval head obediently got down to the ground. The originally small candy box looked extremely tall against the backdrop of the oval head. The candy box was very proud and it was sure to win.
Oh!
The candy box fell to the ground!
Five to zero.
A miserable defeat.
The oval-headed man retracted his slender arms and hands into his body and looked at Jiang Yuanshi silently.
It would be fine if it was really a robot, but... Z01, you are so childish.
Jiang Yuanshi clapped silently as he watched and touched his oval head.
The candy box couldn't stand it anymore and fell to the ground, starting to throw a tantrum.
"My name, my name! You are not allowed to touch him! You are not allowed to touch him! Obviously square things are better than round ones, his head isn't even round! Obviously I am better! Why don't you say anything? Why don't you say anything? Come on, say it! Say I am better! Wuuuuuuuu."
The candy box was lying on the ground, crying and wailing.
Jiang Yuanshi: “…” It would be nice if I had a camera.
Thinking about this, he looked at the oval head and had a good idea.
"Z01, please help me."
Z01 was puzzled and just said, "Okay."
Then, Z01, who was picked up, received the host's whisper and turned on the photo mode.
He took pictures of the candy box in confusion.
Z01: What’s so good about photographing a box?
Today is also a day when I don’t understand Jiang Yuanshi.
