long night fire

"There are a few more, but with your equipment, as long as they don't take the initiative to attack them, they won't provoke you." Harris Brown's head reflected a little light in the sun.

Shang Jian Yao seemed to be thinking and asked:

"What if there are no such weapons?"

Harris Brown's face suddenly twisted:

"On the dusty soil, being weak is the original sin."

His eyes became a little fierce, showing a bit of hatred that couldn't be concealed.

Before Shang Jianyao could ask again, he exhaled and his expression returned to normal:

"It's my turn to ask.

"This is the reward that needs to be paid for the advice just now."

In fact, he didn't expect Shang Jianyao to definitely answer, and he was not playing a rogue. Anyway, the information contained in that advice was not very valuable, because many of the relic hunters who had withdrawn found more or less abnormalities.

Besides, this happened more than a day ago, and it would take more than a day at the fastest to get to the north of Yuelu Station. In this way, even if Harris didn't give advice and let the two people on the opposite side go, They're also likely to be behind things as they happen.

"Can I pay with something else?" Shang Jianyao let go of his left hand holding the assault rifle magazine, and reached into his clothes pocket.

"We have to see." Harris Brown and his companions suddenly raised their alert level, fearing that Shang Jianyao would bring out some dangerous items.

Shang Jianyao quickly took out two small bags of compressed biscuits and showed them off.

— which was supposed to be part of his ruin lunch.

"...It's great, you are very generous." Harris Brown didn't expect the other party to be willing to exchange food.

This can barely make them deal with a meal.

Shang Jianyao then threw the two small bags of compressed biscuits over.

Harris Brown and his companions did not go to pick them up, and let the two small bags of compressed biscuits fall to the ground.

This is the fear that the other party will shoot while they are picking up the biscuit.

"Let's talk later." Shang Jianyao smiled, as if saying goodbye to a friend.

He and Long Yuehong immediately walked towards the gate of the ruins of the steel factory step by step, without relaxing their guard against Harris Brown and his companions.

The other side is no exception.

When the distance between the two sides was wide enough, Harris Brown asked his companions to pick up the compressed biscuits and pushed the two bicycles over.

After watching the two leave the ruins on bicycles, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong held assault rifles and looked around the square outside the gate.

"The outside should be the accommodation area. Search here first, or inside?" Long Yuehong asked hesitantly.

Shang Jianyao didn't look at the collapsed or dilapidated "green" buildings on both sides of the square, and pointed to the gate:

"Inside first, figure out the basic layout."

"Okay." Long Yuehong didn't object.

The two then passed through the iron black gate that allowed multiple cars to run side by side.

"It seems that the relic hunters have their limits. The gate has not been divided and moved away." Long Yuehong glanced back and sighed.

Shang Jianyao followed and looked at it:

"It might not be worth it."

They stopped talking and walked along the wide but dilapidated road to the depths of the steel factory.

There is a row of very tall and spacious bungalows on the right here, unlike the bungalows in the outpatient area of ​​the hospital, where there are small rooms separated by walls, and there are only pillars in the middle to mark the divisions.

In some rooms without left and right walls, there are trenches where people can stand or lie down.

"What is this place?" Long Yuehong asked puzzled.

Shang Jian Yao shook his head:

"No idea. But don't you think standing in those gutters would be a handy way to fix the bottom of the car?"

"Is this the repair area? The side is equivalent to a garage?" Long Yuehong suddenly realized, "Remember to mark it later."

On the left side of the road, there is a foul-smelling pond, a group of trees with small intervals, and a small building hidden in the depths of green.

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong ignored these places for the time being, and went deeper into the factory area step by step.

Not long after, they came to the towering "chimneys" and saw many steel brackets and rough buildings erected around them.

A series of large iron-black pipes like dragons slid down from somewhere in the "chimney" to different places, and the angles were not too steep.

These pipes are not closed, and seem to be the remaining half of the circle after cutting it horizontally.

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong entered this area, going up and down along the road, walking through the rusty steel forest.

Soon, there were incomplete guardrails on the edge of the road, and outside was a pool full of rainwater. I don't know what it was used for.

Because the high places here are covered, the sun can only shine a little, and the surrounding area looks very gloomy and dim.

Coupled with the fact that there was no sound coming, and it was quiet, Long Yuehong's heart trembled more and more as he walked.

He couldn't help but said:

"Didn't you say there are other relic hunters? Why didn't you meet any of them?"

Shang Jian Yao glanced at him:

"It doesn't seem very auspicious to say such things at this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden bang bang bang bang from high above.

A black shadow fell quickly, and after colliding with the steel bracket and the building expenditure part a few times, it fell heavily not far in front.

This is a human being, his body has been damaged to a certain extent, and the blood is rapidly spilling out.

At this time, the clanging sound was still reverberating in this area, and it had not completely subsided.

Before Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao had time to react, they saw a figure approaching the corner of the road ahead.

This figure is taller than Shang Jianyao. Its whole body is made of black metal skeleton, with a grenade launcher on its left arm, and a flame nozzle and a laser emission hole on its right palm.

"He" was wearing a tattered yellow monk robe and a bright red cassock outside, with a pair of shining red eyes on his face.

Chapter 36 Monks

Seeing this tall and strange "robot", Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong's hearts thumped at the same time, every pore on the body surface involuntarily closed, and every hair stood on end instantly.

At this moment, the same noun flashed in their minds:

"Monks of the Order of Monks!"

This is a very dangerous creature on the gray soil. It also has a name:

"Eternal man"!

According to the internal teaching material of "Pangaea Biology", before the destruction of the old world, human beings had made breakthroughs in certain fields of science and technology. Among them, the most outstanding and most admirable and yearning is "consciousness uploading".

This technology can upload human consciousness into a specially designed robot bionic chip through special equipment, so that human beings can get rid of the limitations of fragile bodies, no longer aging, no longer sick, no longer hungry, no longer due to the passage of time. As for death, it only needs regular maintenance or replacement of the carrier, so as to achieve immortality at the level of consciousness.

However, before the complete destruction of the old world, there were still many flaws in the scientific and technological achievements in this area, and they were never formally applied, and only existed in the laboratory.

When the old world was destroyed and the era of chaos came, a group of robots who claimed to be "eternal people" suddenly appeared on the earth.

They use the imagination, way of thinking and other strong evidences that are completely consistent with human beings to make the remaining people believe that they were indeed human beings, and that consciousness can live forever.

But according to those "immortals", all the technologies of "consciousness uploading" were lost in the catastrophe, and now there are only a few devices that can be used, and only one factory can produce "bionic chips" that can carry human consciousness and The corresponding robots, and they can't reverse crack, only know how to use these to create "immortals" to a limited extent.

Therefore, their purpose of walking on the earth is to call on mankind to unite, reverse crack the device, reproduce the corresponding technology, let everyone obtain eternal life, end the dark age, and enter a new world.

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong didn't know how it developed at that time, they only knew that it was recorded in the textbook as follows:

"As time goes by, the 'immortals' have gradually exposed many problems, not because they are malicious, but because the technology is far from mature.

"Among them, the most obvious problem is that when a person loses all the feelings brought by the body, he also loses all the motivations for human beings to struggle for survival.

"Many 'immortals' began to feel that life was boring and meaningless, and they developed very serious mental problems, and the crazy 'eternals' brought a new round of extremely serious harm to the already fragile human group at that time .

"Though the remaining 'eternals' were not mad, they also became very confused, and they began to seek solace from various religious remnants left over from the old world.

"In the end, they took a certain religion as the main body, absorbed useful things from other religions, and created a brand new religion with self-consistent but extremely distorted teachings that could help them solve their psychological problems.

"They call themselves monks, and they call the hidden stronghold where the 'consciousness uploading' equipment is hidden, the Liuli Pure Land."

These monks who look like robots are not afraid of light weapons and have powerful firepower. They are like an exoskeleton device with human intelligence. They are dangerous creatures that ordinary humans cannot fight with a small team-even if they use heavy weapons, they may have to fight against them. Only with the cooperation of dozens of well-trained people and proper tactics can we have a chance to solve a monk.

When Jiang Baimian summed up the more dangerous human beings before, he did not mention "eternal people". A completely different creature.

Of course, the monks of the Order of Monks are not too aggressive towards humans, and even in many cases, they are friendly enough.

But the problem is that consciousness cannot be created out of thin air, and one monk who has lost the ability to reproduce will lose one if he is destroyed.

In order to maintain the "population" and maintain the order, the monks are active in various wildernesses, looking for "people with predestined relationship".

If they find it, they will "transform" the target back to the Liuli Pure Land, let the other party give up their physical body, and upload their consciousness to the robot's bionic chip.

Among those "destined people", a small number of them are full of desire for "eternal life" and have no resistance. Most of them dare not try it because of the flaws of "eternal life".

This quickly brought the Order of Monks a bad, almost notorious reputation.

At the same time, it may be because of some defects in the "eternal life" technology that many mechanical monks have certain and different problems-when they encounter a certain scene or even hear a certain sentence, they will not be able to control themselves and become Going crazy and taking a while to calm down is like having a triggered mental illness or having a triggered personality defect.

This unstable state has caused many humans in the dust to regard the mechanical monk as a scourge.

Based on these reasons, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong reacted so strongly when they found a mechanical monk on the opposite side.

——Only monks of the Order of Monks like to wear monk robes and cassocks outside their bodies. Ordinary intelligent robots will not have such needs and "hobbies" at all.

Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao aimed the muzzle of the "Berserker" assault rifle at the iron-black robot in the red cassock at the same time, with cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.

They knew that the weapons on their bodies could not threaten the opponent at all, and the opponent was not as vulnerable as the bandit leader wearing a military exoskeleton device before, and could be targeted.

Facing the mechanical monks, in terms of equipment, they have no chance of winning. The reason for aiming is mainly because of conditioned reflex.

At this moment, they can only pray silently in their hearts, hoping that they are not "destined people".

In the next second, the 1.9-meter-tall robot in tattered monk's robes and red cassock glanced at them with its eyes flashing red.

The mechanical monk didn't speak, and walked in front of the person who fell to his death in silence.

Then a cold and emotionless voice sounded:

"All living beings are suffering, why are you so stubborn?

"Follow me back to the pure land, abandon the flesh and skin, and realize the supreme enlightenment, and you will understand that the four elements are all empty, and the enlightened one will last forever."

After finishing speaking, the mechanical monk clasped his hands together and recited in a low voice:

"Namo Anuttara Sanyak Sambodhi." (Note 1)

Seeing that the other party ignored them, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong looked at each other, and silently and tacitly began to step back.

At this moment, the mechanical monk in the red cassock kept his posture unchanged, and made that cold and emotionless voice again:

"Why don't the two benefactors wait for a moment?

"Although you have no relationship with my Buddha, all sentient beings have Buddha nature. It is not a bad thing to listen to the scriptures."

Hearing the word "No Fate", Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong were secretly happy and relieved.

At the same time, they were afraid of angering each other, so they could only stop their retreat.

——Since the monk has no intention of attacking or converting, but just wants to teach, it is better to listen casually than desperately.

Seeing that Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong stopped, the mechanical monk looked at the corpse on the ground and continued:

"Although you are obsessed with your obsession, I, Buddha Bodhi, am merciful, and cannot bear to see your corpse exposed in the wilderness, and cannot be liberated.

"I will save your soul, and may you get rid of your body completely and gain a new life in the pure land."

Long Yuehong watched quietly, and Shang Jianyao's voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

"How do you plan to surpass?"

The mechanical monk stretched out his right hand and pointed his palm at the corpse.

Then, with his left palm upright, he read in a low voice:

"Namo Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi, great compassion, saves all living beings, blazing pure fire, burns your shackles..." (Note 1)

Amidst the sound of chanting, the mechanical monk's right palm spewed out streams of white and thick flames, instantly igniting the corpse.
