MECHANICAL: Mechanism

Erwitt expected that Yanchi's mood would not be very stable, but he didn't expect it to be so stable, his mood was very complicated, and he didn't even know how to be a life mentor in the jungle full of dangers.

This does not match his factory settings.

Fortunately, Yanchi actually only acted a little more violently. After a while, he stared at the corpse, shocked: "I killed him."

Erwitt didn't want to repeat the facts, but just nodded: "Yeah."

Yan Chi looked at Erwitt with very strange eyes, feeling enlightened instantly like enlightenment, and muttered to himself: "You are right."

Erwitt didn't quite understand what he was talking about: "Huh?"

Yanchi supported the tree trunk and stood up, calmly walked over to open the boy, touched his chest again, confirmed that he was dead, and his tense shoulders collapsed.Although one of the targets of this operation was killed so quickly, this was not the reason that discouraged Yanchi.

"You're right," he repeated again: "I thought that there was no difference between the Laimu people and the new humans, but the moment I saw him, I felt like another I myself... didn't have any emotional fluctuations, and instinctively shot him to kill him."

Erwitt didn't urge him at all, and gave him time to organize his thoughts, and finish his assessment as soon as possible to assess his mental state and whether the task could continue.

Yan Chi sat on the ground, touched the hand that killed him, and sighed softly, as if he had aged several years at this moment, his eyes sank: "It may be easy to look at problems beyond race, but After all, I still choose a position and affiliation, thinking is one thing, being is another, and I understand what it means to be a teenager."

The world is not black and white. Between evil and justice, what occupies most of the world's concepts is a chaotic land that will not satisfy teenagers.Yanchi had never tasted the taste and power of chaos, but he finally realized that evil also existed in himself.

gratifying progress.

It was much better than Elwitt's expected situation where he collapsed to the point where he couldn't continue the mission because he killed himself. He didn't hide his surprise too much, raised his eyebrows, and praised concisely: "Very good."

On the contrary, Yan Chi was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the good meaning.Erwitt looked up and looked ahead: "If there is no problem, then we will move on."

It is still working thinking, and the purpose is always behind the tail of every sentence.Yan Chi stood up with his hands on his knees, nodded: "No problem."

From the perspective of his former self, this kind of reaction was unavoidably cold-blooded and ruthless, both Yanchi and Alwitt.But after all, the world view has been completely impacted once, and it was brought by himself, Yanchi feels that he is not what he used to be, quite calm.

So back on the road.

In fact, Yanchi's mind is still a mess, and most of his thinking ability is used to analyze the problem that he is not the same as his self-cognition. It was only when he walked that he gradually realized why Alwitt continued.

They will eventually come to the gathering place of wooden figures.

As for what the purpose is, Yanchi thinks it's either Migold Mithril or the Rebel Army, or both.

Yanchi sighed silently. For some reason, at that moment just now, he clearly felt as if a low-dimensional creature was aware of the existence of a high-dimensional space for the first time. An invisible curtain wall was broken, and he instantly entered a world without boundaries. feelings.

Fear and trembling are the instincts of creatures, but it is more of a sense of lightness that can only be brought about by complete psychological indulgence. There is no limit to bring even the absolute freedom of evil, making him feel like the first time the air fills his lungs The baby is so dazed and overwhelmed by all the changes in consciousness.

Of course, he fell back to his own dimension afterwards, and the feeling of enlightenment quickly disappeared with the recovery of consciousness, but the sense of shame remained.Yan Chi was in a complicated mood, and finally couldn't help asking: "Your Excellency, am I always very stupid in your eyes?"

This was the first small talk among the eight people since they had been on the road for so long.

Alwitt was obviously a little surprised, but when he met Yanchi's eyes, he clearly understood Yanchi's confusion.This was also the first time that Yanchi had a peaceful mind, and even asked a question in a somewhat depressed mood.

Alwitt felt quite fresh.

His memory has always been outstanding, and when he just landed yesterday, he saw Yanchi's image of a rebellious little wolf cub was very impressive, but it's hard to imagine him drooping.According to past experience, Yanchi's endurance is higher than the average level, and his plasticity is also stronger. This is often the characteristic of senior generals when they are young, so Elwitt doesn't mind being a guide at this time. the role of the author.

Human psychology is one of the compulsory subjects for cyborgs. Although the subtle twists and turns are difficult to fully explain with a science that is still under development, after all Elwitt deals with all kinds of soldiers professionally. This kind of self-doubt is no stranger.

——He doesn't know that his excellent qualities are also one of the reasons that make others feel depressed and feel ashamed. It's not easy for others to admit and confess directly. In fact, he is indeed better than most natural people. Erwitt pays special attention under his own mindset.

Erwitt's thinking didn't make his silence last too long: "This is normal, it can't be regarded as stupid, it's just a matter of experience."

It's not very consoling, but it's quite soft compared to Yanchi's expected "yes, you're stupid".Yan Chi shrugged and jumped over a small stream on the ground: "I don't think it's the first time you have encountered a young man like me who disobeys orders and is pretentious."

Alwitt: "Indeed."

I feel like I have three stamps of "disobeying orders", "pretentious", and "teenagers" on my body: "..."

He actually felt a little annoyed, probably because Erwitt was so open and honest.

"However," Elwitt turned suddenly: "For young soldiers, being able to have doubts is a good sign. This proves that independent thinking exists among you. I think all your knowledge about new humans comes from It depends on the people around you. In the absence of a large-scale thinking storm and the impact of regional temperament from other regions, the answer that perhaps neither the government nor the army is just is considered to be second-rate, but at least it proves that It's a product of thinking. I think you only know how black and white young people are, using yourself as a sample."

Yanchi was surprised that Erwitt could explain so many words in such a thoughtful way at once, but he suspected that Erwitt omitted the most important sentence, "You are already very good like this."

He felt that this was not his illusion, it was indeed Erwitt's original intention, but after thinking about it, to come to such a conclusion, Erwitt felt very complicated because he didn't know how many times he had to work part-time as a life mentor throughout the year.

Every teenager in the second year of middle school will feel that he is unique in the world, unprecedented, no matter in terms of intelligence or speed of discovering the truth and dark side of the world.Now that uniqueness doesn't exist, and it's stupid, Yanchi doesn't feel good.

And it's even more embarrassing.

Yanchi couldn't accurately describe what he felt, Alwitt's psychological activities and his evaluation, but he could admit rationally that it was definitely not high.

Maybe it's a little annoying.

...It's really not easy to be a teenager in today's society. Whether it's the rebellious period or the second disease, it seems out of place, and it will lower the evaluation in the eyes of Alwitt.

Yan Chi curled up deep in his heart, ashamed to face others.

In fact, Yanchi still has a lot of things he doesn't understand, but now he at least knows that there will only be more things he doesn't understand. It seems that it has not yet reached the time when all these questions can be answered.

Perhaps evil and goodness are two ends of a rope, and human history does not oscillate back and forth between the two ends of the amplitude, but most of the time lies in the middle, developing when it is indistinguishable.

What Yanchi has always been unable to live with is that the new human beings are the invaders for the Laimu people, and he thinks that he is neutral between the two and has an exclusive perspective-it is a pity that his instinct shows that he is a member of the invaders .Although he didn't want to admit it, Yanchi knew very well in his heart that the moment he saw the boy from Laimu, he subconsciously thought that he was going to attack Erwitt, and the emotion faded like a tide in that moment, leaving only the cold steel-like reason , Before his brain could fully analyze and understand the situation in front of him, he moved his hands.

And even after reacting, he didn't regret much.

Laimuren has some attack skills that new humans don't understand until now. Yanchi thinks that it has something to do with the legendary witchcraft, or more precisely, mysterious power, so he can't take any risks and let Elwit being threatened.

No matter how he feels in private, Yanchi knows very well that the new human beings cannot bear the loss of Erwitt, and Erwitt cannot suffer the slightest damage in this place anyway.

This is not about idolatry.

Yanchi once heard that in ancient times, courtiers were responsible to the king.Although the imperial system no longer exists, this kind of loyalty is not too solemn for Elwitt.

He's totally worth it, and he's important enough.

Even when he saw that face clearly, Yanchi didn't feel the panic and guilt he expected at all.

He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking blankly, neither Erwitt nor he need to die.

Like all mages, they are helpless against modern guns and bullets.If it wasn't because Yanchi's five senses were superior to ordinary people, and they happened to be very sharp at that time, perhaps the situation would be completely different when he succeeded.

Instead, Yan Chi was frightened by himself.He never realized that he was just a part of the invaders and could not be independent, and he was exactly the same in the eyes of Laimu people.

It was the same in his eyes.The usual views and remarks do not represent anything, and the instinct at this time is the real position.

He took the initiative to pull Alwitt to talk, which meant he was a little shocked.

I don't know whether it's more terrifying to realize my true face, or to kill the people I saved.

At least Yanchi is not the kind of naive and ignorant child who only believes that there is only one way in the world, but it is not that simple to digest the cruelty that suddenly appeared.

The collapse of the human setting is really terrifying.

The banquet pool remained silent for a long time, until they approached the campsite of the Muren.

According to their living habits, the chosen campsite generally has no ferocious beasts around, which is relatively safe, and the traces of activities will be quite dense and easy to identify.Yanchi squatted down to identify the messy footprints, and the red dragon also flew around lightly, and judged: "There are about 50 people."

Yanchi came to a similar conclusion.

Alwitt looked up and looked not far away.

At this time, it was almost night, and the twilight was dim. The food of the wooden people was mostly cold food, and they did not often use fire. This was the change they made to survive in the environment where the new humans were pressing every step of the way. Make a fire, so now there is some noise in the camp, but no fire.

Fifty people live in groups, and they are not far from the legion. If the situation is the same with the explorer team, it will be even more abnormal.

It is difficult to hide the traces of such a large group of people's activities. Once discovered, it will be recorded as abnormal and attract scouts to investigate. It is impossible for Laimu people not to know this, and they must act here at the risk of being caught in the pot , that proves that they have reasons to do so.

Elwitt quickly gave an order: "Look for a place to lurk until night, and then go in and investigate."

"Yes." Yanchi obeyed the order without further ado, and turned around to look for cover.

Obviously, after Yanchi killed one of the mission targets, if they want to know the truth now, they can only investigate quietly when Laimuren is most relaxed, so night is undoubtedly the most suitable time.

Of course, the Laimu people work at sunrise and rest at sunset. At night, they are not very vigilant. For professional soldiers, it is not difficult to complete the reconnaissance mission, and they will not even disturb the Laimu people in the camp at all.

Before that, they should replenish their energy, take a short break, and plan their investigation plan.

I have to say that going out on missions with Alwitt would definitely be a safe learning journey if Yanchi didn't have the complicated mood he is in right now.Yanchi squatted on the ground in a standard guard posture, pointed his gun at the ground, and the insurance was on, then he took out the energy bar from his backpack and distributed it to Alwitt and himself.

None of them were injured, skipping the step of bandaging, and directly began to supplement nutrition.

Yanchi felt relaxed for the first time after entering the jungle. If the timing wasn't right, he really wanted to take a puff of cigarettes and relax completely.

The sky above the head divided by leaves and branches is a beautiful gradient. The banquet pool is leaning on the tree trunk, holding an energy bar in its mouth to adjust its breathing and clear its mind.

This is one of the professional qualities of a soldier. He is used to it. It is all because of this that he did not lose his mind in the confinement room, and he is extremely proficient.

The taste of the energy bar is sweet, and one can logically be worth a meal, and there may be some leftovers, but not many people are willing to eat it unless they are on a mission.There is no feeling of fullness after eating, and the process is not like eating at all. There is only one advantage, which is convenience.

In order to improve the taste, the Academy of Sciences improved it several times, and the mush was quickly ruled out. First, the taste problem was more serious, and secondly, it needed to be reconciled with water. easy to carry.The current energy bar is in the shape of a jelly and has a soft taste.

The Academy of Sciences really has nothing to improve, so it adds a little more sweetness, and there are fruit flavors to choose from.

Just like tea and tobacco, candy is also an important material, and it is distributed uniformly, and energy bars have become a substitute for candy.Many young people who are hungry will steal the energy bars in stock to eat. Although they will be over-nutrition, it is difficult to become fat with this combination of proportion and exercise, but it will gradually increase the average height.

The general legion turns a blind eye to this, and there is nothing wrong with eating it. It can also make them enjoy playing as a game. If they really eat too much, they will be exhausted. Another question.Even when approving, we will prepare for this demand and apply for more quotas.

What Yanchi likes the most is the original sweetness, it doesn't look like any fruit, but the taste is simple, and even has a placebo effect, which can make him calm down quickly.

Neither of them spoke, and there were only the sound of wind and shallow breathing under the cover of trees.Elwitt raised his hand to check the time, but Yanchi was taken aback by the red dragon jumping on his lap.

In fact, the three-dimensional projection has no weight. The core of the Red Dragon's body, that is, the ring that actually exists in the quantum position is far from falling on his leg. The banquet pool is like a small animal being touched for the first time, with tense muscles. Look at the red dragon.

Maybe it's because the level of intelligence is too high, Yanchi thinks that Honglong's eyes are really as ignorant as a child's, and he can even see its cuteness from its chubby face.

Of course, the fact that red dragons are associated with cuteness is very limited.

Elwitt explained: "It has always been very curious, and usually there is no one to play with it. Observing more people is also beneficial to personality growth and enriches the database."

Of course, the Red Dragon is one of the largest databases and cloud computing systems today, but in terms of personality, the mental age is obviously not very mature, which is definitely more convenient for Alwitt to drive and communicate, but for the Red Dragon, as far as bringing Here comes the side effect of a childlike hobby.

It jumped back and forth on the banquet pool and Erwitte's lap, as a kind of game, and even played hard.

Yanchi couldn't help but stretched out his finger and pushed it when it jumped over.

The red dragon rolled down from his legs, slid down the calf line, and finally stretched out its claws to hook his pants, and then slowly climbed up, looking at him with condemning eyes.

Yanchi, who bullied other children in front of their parents, showed no guilt, stretched out a finger to touch the face of the red dragon, and smiled very friendly towards it.

The red dragon immediately forgot who pushed it just now. Anyway, the mecha didn't feel pain, so it rubbed against his hand very docilely, and said happily: "Chi Chi Chi!"

Yanchi was a little puzzled as to whether the dragon should be called that. He raised his eyes and looked at Elwitt, and found that he had no intention of expressing his opinion at all, so he played with the red dragon more relaxedly for a while.

You can guess it. For parents like Alwitt, it is basically impossible to play with their children. Yanchi made up the picture and felt that he could not accept it, so Red Dragon usually Even if you can play by yourself, you should still lack playmates.

After all, it is Elwitt's mecha, and it takes courage for ordinary people to dare to play with it.

Yanchi poked the red dragon's cheek and thought endlessly, wondering which mech he would meet if he had the chance.

Generally speaking, there is some information about mechas within the army, so as not to let young people who have the opportunity to drive mechas know nothing about it and affect their performance in the assessment, but certainly not all information about mechas is made public.

In the early years, Yanchi's thinking changed day by day, but when he grew up, he realized how low the success rate was, and he didn't have so much inexplicable self-confidence.

At night, Erwitt and Yanchi came out of the bunker, ready to enter the camp to investigate.

Surprisingly, several entrances to the camp were guarded.For the two of them, this kind of defense is of course easy to break through. The problem is that Laimuren's unexpected vigilance has proved that the situation is quite special.

Banchi and Erwitt communicated with hand gestures, calculated the approximate size of the camp, and had a good understanding of the terrain, then entered from the southeast.

The gatekeeper Laimu didn't even feel anything, he was knocked down by the anesthetic and lay unconscious on the ground.

Instead, there was no movement inside, and the simple tent was silent.Banquet slowed down and observed for himself. Sure enough, there was a deep pit surrounded by tents in the middle of the camp.

mine.

Yan Chi was surprised, but it was completely reasonable.It seems that all the abnormalities of the Muren, and even the leader of the rebel army going to take risks in the city, are all because of the rich mineral deposits here.

A few related studies have shown that Migold and Mithril are also very effective for Laimu people. I don’t know how to use them, but it should be related to their special abilities.It's just that the Laimu people's technology for developing mineral deposits is backward, the output is not high, and an industrial chain has not been formed, so they were preempted by the new humans.

There is a faint light in the mine, and it is conservatively estimated that there are guards inside. Due to the difference in perspective, the people on the top can only see a gentle slope extending underground, and nothing else can be seen clearly.Yanchi thought that the red dragon would continue to be responsible for detection, but unexpectedly, after circling twice, the red dragon flew away in the direction they came from.

Yanchi expressed his question with his expression, but he didn't get an answer. He only knew that they could only detect by themselves now.

Theoretically speaking, facing the Lai Muren, the technology of the new humans is always in a crushing state, but if a mine is placed here, no one knows how much the Lai Muren's combat power will increase. The facts speculate that at least their sensory systems have not been enhanced much.

Yanchi took a deep breath, met Elwitt's eyes, counted down to three seconds, raised the gun and moved forward.

There was silence in the mine, flickering torches were stuck on the walls on both sides, and no one could be seen where the naked eye could see.

When the banquet pool was breathing a sigh of relief, there was only a bang, the flames exploded around him, the hole was sealed with a bang, and Alwitt pushed him against the wall.

A large piece of fire splashed down on Erwitte.
