Walking against the light - rebuilding Homo sapiens

The smart screen in the cab shows that there are still 150 kilometers away from the new city. Dan opened the small curtain and looked out the window, the scenery has changed slightly.On the Gobi, which was originally yellow sand and metal balls, some plants with hard thorns were gradually scattered.They looked so gray that it was hard to tell whether they were alive or dead. It was far from the imagined oasis.

The new city was coming soon, so Dan opened the small window in the cab.It is the time when day and night are shining, and the wind is wrapped in a refreshing temperature. Dan sticks his nose and mouth to the window, sucking in the fresh air.

"Dangdang~" Allen knocked on the door a few times.

Dan stood up and opened the door.In the small space, two people were crowded together, almost close together.

"I heard that there are small animals here~" Allen simply opened the curtains and put his palms on the air vents.

"What animal?"

"It's just little mice or something." Allen narrowed his eyes, as if he was looking for something.

"What do you mean?"

"It means~" Allen smiled, "It means you have to adapt to the new food!"

"Rats? I don't want to eat them!" Dan squeezed his fist and beat Allen's shoulder, then pulled up his sleeves. "I think it's good to inject nutrient solution, although it will leave a lot of needle holes."

Allen pulled Dan's arm and took a look. There were indeed quite a few pinholes. The old ones had turned a light grayish brown, while the new ones looked like blood beads that hadn't completely solidified.

"You can't always rely on Hu and Reagan. The nutrient solution is what they use to sell money to realize their dreams. How can you use it for you? What's more, we can't be bound to them for a lifetime. They have their plans. We always want to Separate." Allen's fingertips ran near the pinhole in Dan's arm.

"When we arrive in Xincheng, we will be separated from them?" Dan asked reluctantly.

"It's nonsense before that they are used to traveling aimlessly on the planet Monida. Maybe one day, they will pass by the new city and come to see us?" Allen's gaze shifted from Dan's arm to his face.

"Then us?" Dan just looked at the tip of Allen's nose when he was looking straight.

"Us?" The speed of the maglev vehicle was slowly decreasing. Allen felt it before Dan. He opened the door of the driver's cab and took a small step. "You can think about it in the new city, and you should think about it too?"

"Cut!" Dan gritted his teeth and made a grimace at Allen's back.In fact, what happened in the future is not important to Dan, who has been a test product since he was a child. Even if he dies tomorrow, being with the person he likes today is eternity.

The car stopped just above a shallow puddle.There is a little green around the puddle, but most of it is the gray thorny plants that Dan saw just now.

Hu and Reagan jumped out of the car and trudged to dry ground.Immediately afterwards, Lance and Komaru also jumped down.

"What? Do you want me to carry you?" Allen saw Dan's reluctance to get out of the car, quietly turned sideways, and whispered in his ear.

"No need!" Dan turned his head and looked at everything in the maglev car. Although the past few months with Hu and Reagan were full of adventures, they also had sweet and romantic memories.In his 18 years of life, the content of these months is several times more than before.He was reluctant to part with everything here, and then turned around, trying to remember what it looked like in the car.At this time, he suddenly hated himself for not being a robot like Allen.

"Then get out of the car! Everyone is waiting!"

"Hmm!" Tears flickered in Dan's eyes, he pursed his lips, and swallowed the tears forcefully, "Let's go! Let's think about our future together!"

Before Allen could react, Dan jumped out of the car.Dan, a silly boy whose athletic ability is far inferior to that of a robot, actually landed on his knees first.With his hands also plunged into the puddle, the whole person fell to the ground.

"Ah! No wonder I had to jump off the car, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself?" Allen also jumped off, and nothing was wet except his shoes.

"Hey~" Dan wanted to be sad for a while, but he didn't expect to make several robots burst into laughter.Facing Allen's outstretched hand, he insisted on pushing it back, "Don't help me! I can do it myself!"

"Okay! Then hurry up!" Allen withdrew his smile, got up and followed those in front.

Hu remotely controlled the maglev car, and the back door slowly closed, without the light of the lights behind him, but Dan felt his eyes darken instantly, his eyes were not very good in the first place.

Getting up from the shallow puddles, dragging wet jeans and T-shirts, staggering to chase the crowd, rubbing a piece that I just picked up from the puddles with my right hand... I can't see what it is, it feels like alloy!Leaving him alone, Dan stuffed the piece into his trouser pocket.

"Is there anyone here?" Lance asked Hu and Reagan beside him.

"Yes! There are quite a few humanoid robots hired by the Star Alliance to open up wasteland!" Hu explained to Lens happily, "But they all live in the highlands on the hills. Most people won't come to the place where we park .”

"Oh~" Lance nodded, and kicked away a group of thorny plants under his feet, "You mean to plant these things when you talk about land reclamation?"

"Well, the entire monida planet alliance is preparing for the reconstruction of Homo sapiens. In order to develop an environment suitable for human habitation in the future, someone must plant these things." Reagan explained.

"Did you hear that? These are planted for you, and the humanized robots on the entire planet Monida are serving you!" Allen turned his head and glanced at Dan who was chasing him, and joked.

"Although I am the only Homo sapiens in monida now, it doesn't mean that I planted it..." Dan's breath was a little messy, which may be the reason for trotting a few steps, and he spoke with panting, "Didn't you say that I just A walking sperm-making machine?"

"What?" As soon as the words came out, Hu, Reagan, Lance, including Xiaomaru looked back at Dan.

"It's walking..."

Before Dan finished speaking, Allen covered his mouth, "Shh! I want to die!"

"Hehe~" The group of people laughed and turned around and continued on their way. Only the Xiaomaru "flyed" to Dan with the air current at the bottom and asked him, "What did you just say you were?"

"Children's family, don't you care so much?" Dan ignored Xiaomaru and grabbed Allen's sleeve. After Allen pulled a little, he took his hand. Dan turned to Allen and asked, "What do you give him?" What is the set age?"

"Ten years old!" Allen gave Xiaomaru a headache and gave a clear answer.

"Why? You're a 400-year-old man playing with a ten-year-old child!" Dan also imitated Allen's example, and gave Xiaomaru a brain break.

"What? In the eyes of a 400-year-old robot like me, you are just a few years older than Maru, why don't you 'play' together?" Allen gently squeezed Dan's fingers in his palm.

"Allen! You are so naive!" The airflow at the bottom of the Xiaomaru changed direction and flew towards Lance.

Watching the Xiaomaru fly away, Allen explained to Dan seriously, "I set him as ten years old, because the area before 10 years old is missing in my central storage space."

"Huh?" Dan wanted to ask, but held back. It was the first time he had seen Allen so sadly talking about his past.It turns out that allen's memory before the age of ten is blank!

"What were you doing until you were ten years old?" Allen asked Dan suddenly.

"In the eco-house, 360 five days a year multiplied by ten, lying down, frowning, not knowing why I am alive..." Dan's words reminded Allen of the first time he met him.A boy who is frowning even in his deep sleep must not have had a happy childhood!

"Allen!" Dan broke free from Allen's hand suddenly, and jumped up and stood opposite him, "Why don't we take this opportunity and let's get back our memories from before we were ten years old?"

"What? What do you mean?" Allen vaguely felt an ominous premonition.

"All the things that boys have to do before they are ten years old, let's do it together!" Dan became excited and danced a little.

"doing what?"

"Catching fish, catching shrimp, picking out bird eggs, climbing trees, skating, and counting stars! Let's do all the things boys do!" Dan calmed down slowly and said seriously.

"Uh~" Allen looked around, even though there was grass, it still couldn't stop the desolation, and he couldn't remember whether boys played with these things 400 years ago, "Where do you think these~ ten-year-old boys are really amazing Woolen cloth!"
