Don't pick up the wild people on the roadside (Twenty-three)
I'm not going to dye this thing green.
Jiang Yuanshi didn't quite understand their shock. The medical robot Hariri explained to Jiang Yuanshi that the production process of prosthetic eyes was very complicated, and that a chip was needed to connect to the nerves after implantation. The strong man's two children were born in the lower city and had never had an implant. They also didn't want their children to be controlled by the company, so unless a brand new chip was made, it would be impossible.
The strong man said, "I don't want them to be controlled by the company one day. It's better to lose one eye than to be controlled. Moreover, any prosthesis may be corroded in the danger zone. If an eye is infected, I'm afraid the other eye will be blind as well."
Jiang Yuanshi understood Party A's requirements: 1. Wear an artificial eye with a brand new chip that is not controlled by the company 2. Would rather lose one eye unless it is corrosion-resistant
That's good, each has its own difficulties.
"Before that, I have a question that I hope you can answer. Why do you have to stay in the danger zone?"
Hariri replied, "It's not that we don't want to leave, but we can't. The only way out of the danger zone is the alley you came from. When we were thrown into the danger zone, we tried to get through, but unfortunately we failed. There is a clinic in the alley, and the clinic is covered by red light. Whenever we step into the red light range, the functions begin to become disordered and the movement stops. There were a few people who tried their best to move forward, but in the end, most of them were scrapped before they even reached the entrance of the clinic. Later, when we went back to check, we found that a corner of the chip had been burned and could not be driven and became completely useless."
Jiang Yuanshi pointed at Jiang Tang and said, "Then how did he get through? Because the chip is different?"
Hariri nodded. "Your guess is correct. After everyone's experiments, we found that the problem mainly lies in the chip. So the clinic is more of a monitoring station than a place to save people. Any human or robot with an implanted chip cannot reach the other side."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuanshi's first reaction was that Jiang Yuan did not have a chip implanted, but then how was his neck connected to the data cable? Jiang Yuanshi casually touched the suppression ring on his neck.
Find a chance to take it apart and have a look.
But the problem now is that Jiang Yuanshi’s attitude towards these people is very confused and there are too many contradictions.
"I have a rather offensive question, is that acceptable to you?"
"What do you want to say?"
Jiang Yuanshi looked at the two children who had been lowering their heads and said bluntly: "Since these two children don't have chips implanted, why not send them to the other side of the downtown area? Even if they live in poverty, at least they won't be at risk of infection."
Hariri was not surprised that anyone could come up with a solution. The other gang members looked normal. Hariri said, "I think it would be better for the child's father to talk about this issue himself. Li Ming, you come."
The strong man Li Ming pulled the two children and said bluntly: "We thought so before, but no one knows how long the alley is. How can a child of a few years old walk the whole way by himself? And even if they can walk the whole way, no one can guarantee their future and safety. Even if the leader can take the children there, what about their future? Will someone really adopt them? If all this is guaranteed, then my wife and I will definitely agree."
Having said that, Jiang Yuanshi had to understand even if he didn't understand.
"But now, I have appeared, a human who can travel back and forth between the two ends and has normal physical strength." Jiang Yuanshi continued. Faced with Jiang Yuanshi's statement, the gang members fell silent again.
Jiang Yuanshi tapped the table with one hand and applauded: "What a good method, first you raise a difficult problem, and then throw out a relatively quicker solution. I was wondering why you are so happy, it turns out you want me to be a nanny."
Hariri said respectfully, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, this is the best solution we can come up with. If you can't take care of the child, you can entrust the child to someone else you trust. We will provide you with everything you want, including daily food, regular resources, etc."
With every word Hariri spoke, the two children, except the one who was forced to raise his head when he came in, lowered their heads tightly, holding their father's hand with the other hand and grabbing the corner of their clothes.
Most of the guys in the danger zone are dirty. Not the kind of dirty that doesn't like cleanliness, but rusty. The human prosthetic limbs have large and small spots, which are more obvious on the robots. The outer skin is peeling, and the display screens are aging and cracked. There is no sign of abundance of resources.
The two children, one boy and one girl, were about the same height. Their clothes were a little old but very clean. The girl wore a pink babydoll dress with a pair of small leather shoes with some scratches. She had two ponytails tied on her head with hair bands of different colors, one high and one low. The boy wore a white short-sleeved shirt and black shorts, with a bullet necklace around his neck and black boots on his feet. The cool boy had his bangs tied into a crooked little bun on his forehead, and he used the same hair band as the little girl.
The best resources in the danger zone are probably used on these two children.
Jiang Yuanshi sighed: "I know you have good intentions in wanting them to live, but even if I agree, do the children agree?"
"These two children are very obedient, definitely..."
Jiang Yuanshi interrupted Li Ming directly: "Children also have their own thoughts. If robots can have them, why can't they have them too? No child would be willing to leave their family for no reason. And the adjective "obedient" in this case is just because they don't want to disappoint you. Obedient children are most afraid of their parents being angry, sad and disappointed, so in order to make adults happy, they will choose to do what adults want them to do, even if they don't want to do it themselves. I can guess that the next second after I finish saying this, you will hold the child's hand, ask them to look into your eyes, and ask: Do you really think so? I want to ask, if you really do these things, what answer do you want? Nod or silence?"
Jiang Yuanshi suddenly became aggressive. Z01 looked up at his serious expression. It seemed that the host would be very sensitive whenever words like family and obedient children were mentioned. Those predictive words were not really predictions, but warnings, or hopes that they would not happen.
Everyone was silent. Li Minggan, who had anticipated the action, stood and looked down at the child. He could not squat down to ask that question. Jiang Tang carefully rubbed Jiang Yuanshi's hand and touched it. After his behavior attracted Jiang Yuanshi, he touched it again and whispered: "Jiang Jiang, are you angry? Don't be angry."
Jiang Yuanshi shook his head as if he had regained his personality and said, "No, I'm no longer angry."
Jiang Tang whispered, "Will you raise them? Can't you just have me as your child?"
He raised an eyebrow: "Are you a child again at this time?"
Jiang Tang nodded cheekily, and gently pulled Jiang Yuanshi's clothes up, stood on his shoulders and leaned close to Jiang Yuanshi's ear and said, "Qingqing and Cheche don't want to. When I was playing with them, I heard them say that their parents wanted to spend money to send them to the upper city, but I don't know why they changed their minds and didn't send them anymore. I guess they didn't find a good person."
“Is there such a channel in the Lower Town?”
"Yes, Yun Qing came down with the help of the company. There is also a designated spot for the company, but it is very far from us. We have to spend money to go through the formalities to find the person. I don't know the rest. Let me tell you, the downtown area is actually very big. I used to run around and it took me many days to find the way back. The place where we live should be the edge of the danger zone."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Why are you running so far?"
"... Actually, I wanted to find the guy who abandoned me, but I couldn't find him after searching many places. Then I got so angry that I just ran around blindly, thinking I would die if I ran out of power. But when I was about to die, I inexplicably started to recharge automatically, and I haven't died yet."
Jiang Yuanshi touched Jiang Tang with his backhand and said, "It's not good to die. You might as well expand your territory. Maybe one day you will become famous and attract people."
Jiang Tang nodded in agreement: "You think the same as I do! That's why I came to the Danger Zone to be the boss. This is my first step! Let that guy know what it means to be out of his reach!"
Don’t look down on the young because they are poor, right?
Jiang Yuanshi smiled helplessly. While they were chatting in low voices, the gang nearby had already become a mess.
The reason was simple, because no one knew when the children started crying, and the two of them cried silently together, with their tears falling to the ground and drawing maps, which made people feel even more heartbroken.
The group of guys didn't dare to make a sound and were in a panic. The robots took out toys from their bodies, and the humans took out all kinds of candies from their weapon boxes and pockets, but the child didn't say a word and just cried.
Large-scale pantomime performance.
Jiang Tang sat on Jiang Yuanshi's shoulder, leaning against his head. She counted his hair and said, "Every time I feel like they really don't know their own body shape. If Qingqing and Cheche don't cry when they are surrounded by them, I will cry too."
"You seem to cry every day."
"No way! Wait... who allowed you to say that about me! He can do it, but why should you, with your oval head?"
Jiang Tang turned sideways and looked over Jiang Yuanshi's chin at the guy on Jiang Yuanshi's other shoulder.
"Damn it! Who told you to stand on his shoulders?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the oval head sat down, even touching Jiang Yuanshi's neck.
The cold touch made Jiang Yuanshi shudder. He poked Z01 and said, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing. I just did the same thing as the cube robot."
Jiang Yuanshi was helpless: "Childishness is contagious."
Z01: "No."
"Then be careful or he'll pick a fight with you again."
"I'm happy to accompany you. The other party is not set up to have combat power."
You are quite proud.
Unfortunately, even though he has no fighting power, Jiang Tang has electricity.
The machine wars begin again on the desktop.
Jiang Yuanshi looked at the battlefield on this side and then at the pantomime over there.
The evening news seemed dull.
After a while, Jiang Yuanshi checked the time and saw the two robots lying on the ground facing each other again. The mime protagonist had already put a lollipop in his mouth. He then said, "It's almost time. I should leave too. Someone is waiting for me over there."
The gang members stopped, looked at the child and then looked at Jiang Yuanshi. Jiang Yuanshi said, "Sorry, if it's safe enough where I am, I can take them there, but I don't think the other side of the alley is much safer either."
"What do you mean? If it's an excuse, I don't think it's necessary. We respect your choice."
Jiang Yuanshi shook his head: "It's not an excuse. There were some strange people over there recently. They were probably from the upper city. They ran to my doorstep covered in blood and were chased."
Jiang Tang nodded. "Oh, I know. A very tall Alpha! He looks very rich and speaks in a condescending manner. It was Jiang Jiang who spent money to save him, but he still belittled the Lower City District. But he said he wanted to repay him."
Jiang Yuanshi hummed, "But I guess I'm being targeted."
Hariri asked: "There are abandoned nobles from the upper city in the lower city, and it is possible that they are being hunted down, but why do you think they are targeting you?"
Because that's how the novel is written.
Jiang Yuanshi thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud: "Because the other party said that he had lost his memory, and someone would come to pick him up and take him back to the upper city. I wonder how kind a person from the upper city must be to be willing to repay a lowly person from the lower city, and even say that if he can't come himself, he will send someone to come?"
"This... maybe it's a lie he made up," Hariri said.
"But he could have just walked away. Why did he come to me? To put it bluntly, that person is still abnormal. If I take your child back and fail to protect him, wouldn't that be a dereliction of duty?"
"this……"
"And everyone knows that people die every day in the Lower City, and no one knows when and why their lives will end, so my advice is to live happily and leave no regrets. What's more, seeing how much you like these two children, apart from the congenital injuries, the children have no scars on their bodies, doesn't it prove that they can live well in the danger zone under your protection? I don't think there should be other outsiders who are more willing to sacrifice their lives to protect the children than you, at least I won't."
Jiang Yuanshi glanced at everyone and said to Hariri, "It seems that you can't make up your mind for the time being. If you really want me to take them away in the future, that's fine, but now please provide me with the data of the children's eyes, such as size, diameter, etc. I'm in a hurry to get back to work."
Hariri was a little surprised. Li Ming said first, "Don't you think you can't make a chip?"
"Yes, but that doesn't mean we can't make decorative prosthetic eyes, right? It's fine if we make them for appearance. Otherwise, let your two children live with glass beads on their heads every day? Would you be willing to do that?"
Li Ming was speechless.
Jiang Yuanshi: "First wear fake eyes, and then improve them when the chip is really made in the future."
The future... a word that is very far away for the Lower Town District was spoken so easily by Jiang Yuanshi, but no one refuted it, not because they believed in hope, but because they were moved by the young man's subsequent actions.
They watched as a robot youth stood up and squatted down, lowered his head, and asked the two children in a brisk and gentle tone: "Okay, my two little guests, what color eyes do you want?"
