Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 589 The beginning of darkness

"Can the bandage be removed?"

When Yun Qian sat on a sofa and asked a question, he leaned forward slightly and twisted his hands together.At such a close distance, the chief executive looked even taller; the tough and steady aura on his body seemed to carry an invisible weight, and even made people have to hold their breath slightly.

"Well, the doctor said it's almost done." The boy sitting cross-legged on the bed responded, and was about to raise his hand, but was stopped by Yun Qian—"You can't see, let me do it." He stood up as he said , Cut a hole in the bandage on the back of the boy's head.

Such a tough guy, but his movements were very delicate; the white bandage loosened round and round, and slid down on the bed, gradually revealing the thin scars on the young man's face, criss-crossing and lingering on his once clean and fair cheeks.

Yun Qian bent down and looked at the boy's cheeks closely for a while.His breath sprayed on the skin, and the side that caused the necrosis of nerves also felt slightly hot-"The color of these scars is much lighter than last time," Yun Qian straightened his waist, as if he breathed a sigh of relief. "It won't be long before your skin looks like it used to."

"I'm not a girl, so what does it matter if my skin is good or not?" Ayun laughed, and reached out to touch half of his face. "I don't know if Yan Qiu's bloodstains have faded? That guy is not good-looking."

"I'll go take a look for you and pass on your words to her by the way." Yun Qian made a rare joke and picked up a jar of ointment beside him: "Is this the one?"

"Yes—Master Chief, it's really embarrassing to ask you to take care of our three wounded these days."

"Now that there is an epidemic, everyone can't go out. Of course, I, the only healthy evolutionary, have to do more work." Even when Yun Qian was smiling, his hard facial lines did not soften in the slightest.He raised the boy's chin, and applied a layer of cool ointment on his face: "...I just hope you guys get better soon."

"Thank you, my lord." A Yun raised his head without daring to move. Because of his excitement, his long eyelashes trembled and cast a shadow.

"Young people recover quickly," Yun Qian withdrew his hand, tilted his head and glanced at him, "It's finished! Don't rub it on."

The boy smiled a little shyly, revealing a row of white teeth in the bright red like plums.However, the nerves on the right side of his face were destroyed, and there was no fluctuation in his expression at all. It seemed that only half of his face was a smile, and the other half was calm and unwavering.

Yun Qian's eyes lingered on his face for a few seconds, nodded, turned and walked towards the door.

Just when the chief executive was about to leave, the young man suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Master chief, do you have any news about the evolutionists who left the city?"

"An evolutionary has come back this morning." Yun Qian stopped with his hand that opened the door halfway, and turned back to say.

The boy was taken aback, and his eyes lit up immediately: "Great! Who is it and how is it?"

The executive director frowned his two sword-like eyebrows: "I really have no impression of him, I have to go back and check the roster. He was seriously injured, and fell into a coma as soon as he came back. I don't know if he has Get the information... but no matter what, it's good that he can come back alive."

Speaking of this, Yun Qian pursed his lips, paused, and said again: "If too many evolutionaries are lost because of this task, I will be a sinner of Jiucheng instead."

Seeing that the chief executive had finished speaking, he turned and went out, Lin Sanjiu glanced at the sunset, and exhaled—it seemed that today was another day of nothing.In the orange-red sunset light, she quietly climbed back to the attic along the outer wall, and she also felt that she was about to go from voyeurism to perversion; it's okay if no one notices now, once someone notices, She didn't even have a valid reason to explain her behavior.

As long as the puppeteer is sane, Yunshou Nine Cities is a relatively complete and normally functioning world.Maybe it's because the information he learned afterwards was filled into his memory in a disguised form?Lin Sanjiu was sleepy and tired, thinking in a daze.

She hasn't closed her eyes since she broke into the territory of the data body—when she thought of observing her data body in the dark, she didn't dare to let her consciousness become blurred.

It was okay before, but in Yunshou Nine City, watching the sun rise and set every day, even her biological clock has been assimilated, whether it is physically or mentally, it feels like at least a month has passed.Even an evolutionary couldn't stand this slow suffering—Lin Sanjiu pinched himself hard, and even suspected that this was the purpose of the data bodies: maybe they just wanted to make themselves sleepy and lose all resistance?

The slight pain on the skin did not even have any effect.After she sat down in the attic, the turbulent drowsiness finally revealed its power: Lin Sanjiu only felt that her mind was getting more and more dizzy, her eyelids were glued together one after another, and every time she opened it again, it seemed that she was exhausted. With all my strength.Sleep actually released such a sweet allure that she just wanted to give up and forget about everything, regardless of other puppeteers...

After struggling for an unknown amount of time, just as Lin Sanjiu slowly closed his eyes, a series of loud footsteps quickly approached from below, echoing loudly on the wooden floor.She was so startled that she woke up in a jerk, and when she listened carefully, she realized that more than one person had come, and the destination seemed to be the attic—Lin San stood up in a jerk, looked left and right, and quickly turned out of the window.

The outer wall of the chief official's mansion was flat, and there was almost no place to rely on; she grabbed a handful of hanging green leaves with one hand, and stepped on the edge of the window on the next floor with her feet, and then stabilized her body.

With a "squeak", it sounded like the door embedded in the attic floor was pushed open.

"Your Excellency," Ayun's voice was the first to sound, "Can I put it here first?"

Could it be that he fell asleep just now, and it took a long time without knowing it?Lin Sanjiu was taken aback, feeling that the puppeteer's memory flow seemed to be getting faster and faster recently; she quickly adjusted the angle, moved herself to the bottom of the attic window, and looked inside.

Although the attic of the Chief Executive's Mansion is already very spacious, when Yun Qian walked in, it suddenly seemed narrow, as if it couldn't accommodate the calm and tall Executive Chief Executive; with his back facing Lin Sanjiu, Twilight came in from the window on the other side, and only his dark back could be seen clearly.

There are countless fine dusts floating in the air, all dyed into floating golden red particles by a round of egg yolk-like sunset.The boy named Ayun was holding an iron box-like thing in his hands, which seemed so heavy that even he was struggling; panting, he put the thing on the floor with a bang, and a layer of floating ash was immediately stirred up. , He suddenly coughed from choking, and his face flushed.

Yun Qian patted him on the back, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, it's just that the right side of the body is not very flexible."

With Yun Qian's back crouching down in front of the iron box, his tone softened, as if he was afraid of scaring it.He slowly stroked the surface of the box, and said in an almost whispering tone: "That's right, it's this...it's it. I, I've been looking for it for a long time, but I still failed...I can't think of it, I can't think of a day I could actually see it again..."

"My lord, thanks to your persistence at that time, and thanks to Brother Gong risking his life to bring it back." The boy also squatted down, and showed a half-bright smile towards Yunqian.He turned his head to look at the iron box, and said in a tone of surprise, "But... such an ordinary iron box, can it really work?"

Yun Qian stretched out his hand slowly, his fingers trembling constantly.He swallowed his throat, and seemed to calm down with difficulty: "Of course, I have already activated it just now."

"Already—?" The boy was suddenly surprised again, and looked at the box carefully for a while, but he didn't see anything. "There's not even a sound at all... I used to think that the artificial intelligence command station should look very high-tech, at least it must have a screen?"

Yun Qian glanced at him and smiled softly: "Yes, it has everything."

But he didn't wait for Ah Yun to ask again, he stood up suddenly, and strode towards the attic stairs: "Let's go—the time is not yet ripe."

The young man was taken aback, before he had time to ask, he saw that Yun Qian had already gone downstairs; he hurriedly followed, and the sound of their footsteps went further away again.

Lin Sanjiu went back into the attic, thought for a while, and instead of looking at the box, he followed him downstairs quietly—this is just a world copied from the memory of the puppeteer, which he doesn't understand It is impossible to completely restore things; even if she went up to look at them, she might only be at a loss.

It's just that she originally thought that things were about to turn around because of the arrival of the iron box; but in the next half a day, there was nothing surprising at all.The chief executive went to see the injured and meritorious elder brother Gong, and talked with him until late into the night; at the same time, Lin Sanjiu followed the boy Ayun, watching him recover for a while, and read a book. Books, washed up and went to bed after dinner - not only was it boring, but it also made her feel even more like a pervert.

A silver moon slowly hung in the dark night sky.After the boy Ayun fell asleep, Lin Sanjiu quietly returned to the attic, wondering if she could survive the night—she was too sleepy and tired.

Only in the dead of night can she hear the iron box in front of her continuously making a very light "humming" sound, as if there is some kind of movement inside.Facing this kind of technology that he had never seen before, Lin Sanjiu felt like an ancient person who saw the TV. After walking around it, he still didn't understand how this thing could become an artificial intelligence commander. stand.

Just when she sat on the floor again in boredom, there was a slight sound of the door hinge turning, which immediately tensed her nerves.

The sound was so fleeting that she almost thought she had heard it wrong.Lin Sanjiu held his breath and waited for a while, until he caught a footstep that was so subtle that it seemed to not exist, then he jumped up and rushed downstairs, following the sound.

#
... The dream seems to be entangled with the night, and it is hard to tell each other apart.Turning over in the chaotic and entangled sleep, Ayun vaguely heard his own breathing, which was echoing calmly and long in the dark night.The right side of his face was still covered with a layer of gnawing ants, and his skin was numb and painful; next, something warm fell on his right side of his face, and he stroked it slowly.

Ayun dreamed of the executive director's hand, slowly sliding over the iron box-like command post.

A hand also fell on his own face, and he came up with this awareness in his drowsiness.

This thought struck like an electric shock, and when he opened his eyes, his breathing stopped suddenly—at some point in front of the bed, there was a tall black figure standing.

"Who?" The young man was about to back up as soon as he got up on the bed, and his voice was still nasal; but before he could move, the hand on his face turned around like lightning, pinching his throat.

"Don't move." The black figure said softly, every word carried the weight of a high-ranking person, as if it could make people hold their breath to listen.

Ayun was stunned, his body seemed to be out of control for a moment.

"I have been to Yunshou Nine City several times before, when I was doing inspection tours." Perhaps because of the night, the familiar voice sounded a little different, dark and hoarse. "Even with artificial intelligence, Ninetowns has developed itself into a slum... In the eyes of others, there is no value of inspection at all. However, I disagree. I have very good memories here. The more The poorer and the more chaotic, the more I can find what I want.”

The young man listened motionlessly in the dark, feeling that the big hand on his throat slowly let go, but only gently held his neck, and did not move away.The body temperature of the other party was like a snake, coolly sticking to Ah Yun's warm skin.

"After the fall of a city, there are fewer and fewer humans around me. As long as I show up, I will only see those artificial intelligences—even though they are humanoid, they are different." The voice became lower and lower. , as if about to melt into the darkness, but there is a frightening undercurrent: "Oh... people. I can assure you that there is no one who loves people more than me... ...Ayun."

"President, Chief, you..."

"Hush." ​​Yun Qian suddenly lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "I don't need you to speak, and I don't need you to take action. Ah Yun, listen carefully, the artificial intelligence command station has already started It's working... AI has taken over all the defense and weapon systems of the city. To be honest, I'm a little surprised that it took over the city so smoothly."

The violent beating sound of the young man's heart spread far away in the night.

The cool hand gently caressed his Adam's apple and went around the back of his neck.Feeling the goosebumps suddenly aroused by the young man, Yun Qian smiled softly: "Are you sixteen... or seventeen? The Adam's apple is not big, like a girl... Your evolutionary ability can only control people Right?"

His hands were also like snakes, but they stopped suddenly.

In the thick darkness, the young man's low sobs sounded intermittently.

"What, are you scared?"

Ayun gasped heavily, his vision that was originally covered by the night was blurred by tears.He hated himself for crying, but he couldn't stop the bursts of fear and puzzlement in his heart that seemed to be swallowing him up - wanting to vomit and cry at the same time, the young man said hoarsely: "I, I saved you Fate..."

"Yes, I appreciate that."

"Then why did you—"

"You don't want Ninetowns, okay? If you want it to be good, you have to pay a price." Yun Qian's voice was still so soft, "I can make Ninetowns the same as it was in the golden age...with AI, You know I'm not lying."

The boy jerked his body sideways, and punched the black figure in front of him; Yun Qian caught his punch and smiled softly: "Didn't I say that? I don't need you to move."

"Fuck you!" When Ah Yun was about to jump up again, a hand was suddenly pressed on his shoulder.All the power in his body suddenly flowed away from the place held by that hand like a river that has vented, and disappeared completely in a blink of an eye—the limbs immediately softened, and the boy couldn't even move for a while. My body couldn't hold it up anymore.

He was in a cold sweat from anxiety, tears kept sliding down his cheeks, his stomach seemed to be constricted, shrunk to a little bigger than the tip of a needle - but no matter how hard he struggled, it was still useless.

"Getting the people to obey is the power of the commander-in-chief."

Soi Ying smiled slowly, "Since I activated the command post, twenty law enforcers, seventy engineering AIs, and fifteen mobile weapon mother stations have responded to my orders this afternoon...just now, The first batch has arrived."

This did not reduce Ayun's resistance, it was his next sentence that made the young man stop moving suddenly.

"Your two friends are sleeping soundly under the eyes of the law enforcement officers."
