Artificial Wizard Growth Log

The war lasted from day to night, and finally ended in the rising sun.

The morning light broke, and the gunpowder smoke did not disperse.

With the occasional artillery fire as the background sound, the robots walked on the potholed road hit by the artillery fire, silently carrying the dead bodies. The reporters who came to see the Peace Day ceremony were also silent, even the cameras in their hands were silent. Very quiet.

People grieve, grieve, hate, resent because of friends and relatives who can no longer speak, walk, or breathe.

The Peace Day ceremony in the 322nd year of the voyage has completely turned into a disaster.

The grove surrounded the cemetery on the outskirts of the capital, and it was raining lightly.

The light rain controlled by the cemetery's artificial weather system was very suitable for the occasion. Many people in black dresses held large black umbrellas and held white chrysanthemums in their arms, standing silently beside the newly erected tombstone.

The long hair of the television host who broadcast the funeral live was soaked by the drizzle and stuck to her clothes, but she didn't realize it.

She wiped her tears, tried her best to keep her voice steady, and said: "...she has accompanied the development of the Federation Peace for 20 years, without her, there would be no Federation today..."

"...But the Federation has lost her now."

Standing in front of the tombstone, Li Daolin trembled as he listened to the host's words.

Xia Zuo: "Mr. Li?"

Li Daolin suddenly recovered.

The former vice president of the Federation and the current acting president, Mr. Li Daolin looked very depressed.

For example, if it wasn't for the woman Li Chaoge at home, Li Daolin, who came to the funeral, couldn't even find a pair of matching leather shoes.

His eyes were deeply bloodshot, his two dark circles were dark and heavy, his eyes were swollen, his face was pale, and his whole face seemed to be swollen. The elegance and demeanor he emphasized in the past, now he Not a trace of it can be seen on the body.

It wobbles when walking.

Xia Zuo, who was present as an adopted son, supported him to prevent the acting president from falling into the mud in front of a large audience with a dozen cameras pointed at him. When the entire Federation is in mourning, such behavior of the president may be able to It brought a little bit of entertainment to the audience watching the live broadcast.

When he helped Li Daolin up, he heard Li Daolin murmuring absently.

"...lost her."

Xia Zuo: "My condolences."

Probably because the artificial man's tone was too cold, the man didn't respond to his words. Li Daolin struggled hard to get rid of Xia Zuo's hand, took a few steps forward, and suddenly knelt down.

"Mr. Li!"

"Mr. President, you..."

"You, you..."

The man turned a deaf ear to everyone's shocked words. He took off the white chrysanthemum on his chest and placed it in front of the tombstone. He watched the white and delicate petals rustling in the cold wind, and then stretched out his hand to brush the embossed words on the snow-white granite.

【Catherine Bacon

First female president in federal history

- she is a good president

July 258, 322-April [-], [-]]

The man finally couldn't hold back, covered his face with his hands, and cried bitterly.

Xia Zuo stood behind the man, holding an umbrella for him.

The rainwater slid down the umbrella surface, dripped on the blue rocks on the ground, and splashed on Xia Zuo's toes.

The artificial man lowered his head in a daze, looking at his toes. The rainwater on the ground gathered along the cracks in the bluestone slabs, winding into a stream, and he didn't know where it was going.

There were many suppressed cries from the rain and mist, and there was a short sound, and the dripping water did not know whether it was rain or tears.

Is this death?Artificial man thought.

It is not that he has never been in contact with death. The sticky feeling stained with blood from a day ago is still lingering on the skin of the palm of his hand. The death of soldiers and civilians, and the death of the enemy make no difference to him. Xia Zuo thinks that this is because he is unnatural caused by the gene sequence.

Today was his first exposure to the...sadness of death.

It is the cry of the living to the dead, the end of longing and bondage, and the unending separation.

Death is meaningless to the dead, death is meaningful to the living.

The man with wet legs stood up unsteadily, and Hugh Nobel, who was Ms. Bacon's chief of staff a few days ago, came to hold the umbrella for him.

Nobel smiled at Xia Zuo, but Xia Zuo didn't pay attention to him. The artificial man was stunned when he saw Li Daolin's eyes. The man's eyes seemed to ignite a fire, which could burn everything to ashes, and seemed to condense into a piece. Ice can freeze anything in it.

The rhetoric in the heart of the artificial man is naturally not so literary. Standing in this cemetery, he is cold and dazed, with a sense of incompatibility with the surroundings.

Li Daolin led him away from the cemetery and walked through the tree-lined path crowded with reporters. The security guard dutifully stopped the microphone for the interview, and the three of them boarded the presidential shuttle together.

The shuttle car went up smoothly, Nobel made a gesture, and the driver raised the partition. Xia Zuo, who had been exercising his control over the pseudo-psychic rays, keenly noticed that a sound-proof interference force field had been deployed around him.

"Xia Zuo," Li Daolin asked, who had been silent all this time, "Isn't it xd1001 who assassinated Catherine besides the chief worm?"

"Yes, sir."

Hearing Xia Zuo's answer, Li Daolin's expression became very strange.

Xia Zuo frowned, Li Daolin's expression reminded him of those genetically mutant beasts he had dealt with in the research institute, they all had the same ferociousness that only obeyed desire.

The man-made guide project was personally approved by Li Daolin, but xd1001, which was born from this ugly project, became the murderer who killed his beloved.

The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unhappy.

If he hadn't brought Xia Zuo back from the research institute, Catherine wouldn't even have known about this abandoned plan, so Catherine really died because of him?

"Xia Zuo?"

"Yes, sir."

"I read the report about xd1001, and some reports and evaluations left by the Mist Institute called him a monster."

Xia Zuo had indeed heard some researchers secretly talking about xd1001, he replied: "Yes, sir."

Li Daolin, who was a vigorous middle-aged man a few days ago but now looked a bit old, stretched out his hands and grabbed his shoulders with such force that Xia Zuo's bones cracked.

"You can do it too, right?" Li Daolin's eyes and ravings made Xia Zuo a little scared, "You must be capable of dealing with him, right?"

"..."

"Help me, xd1009," the incumbent ordered in an irresistible tone.

***

After getting off the car at the airport, among the crowd sending recruits to the front line, Xia Zuo first saw Pang who was dressed like a peacock with a tail.

The black-haired sentry was wearing a newly issued military uniform, with his back straight, leaning against the lion statue in front of the emergency office of the military department, playing with the military cap in his hand boredly.

His posture was extremely chic, and the humiliation and blow brought to him by the defeat that he could still see yesterday seemed to have disappeared from him.

It wasn't until Xia Zuo walked one meter behind him that the old man lazily turned around.

He accused: "Little white face, do you know how long I have been waiting for you?"

Xia Zuo who was complained was very calm: "I didn't ask you to wait for me."

"Would it be possible for me to wait for you and ask for your approval?" Uncle Pang is a master of nonsense, "Look what you said? Look, I'll clear all your luggage for you, and leave for the Gold Mercury front on the next trip." The special train is already preparing to shuttle, hurry up and get on the plane."

It was only then that Xia Zuo noticed that there were two luggage bags at Pang Jiuzhou's feet, and the two luggage bags were exactly the same, not the one he put in the dormitory.

Pang Jiuzhou also noticed his gaze.

"Your suitcase is inconvenient to go to the front line. I bought one for you when I bought it." The second-year middle school youth didn't say his ambition about the couple bag, pretending to be generous, "Everything is ready, Are you going?"

Xia Zuo: "Not leaving."

The cyborg answered very simply. After a few seconds, he looked at Pang Kyushu's expression of being choked by him, and blurted out an apology.

Pang Jiuzhou: "Ah, don't be sorry...you are joking with me, right?"

Xia Zuo didn't speak.

Pang Jiuzhou really thought he was joking at first, but he felt wrong when he saw Xia Zuo was silent.

"You're really kidding me... aren't you?"

The sentinel didn't realize how cautious his tone was, and even his breath became lighter.

Xia Zuo shook his head, "No, Mr. Pang, I'm not joking."

Pang Jiuzhou: "The whole class was recruited by the [-]st Company of the Jinshuixing Second Army. If you don't go, you little boy, you will defy the military order and you will go to court, you know?"

Xia Zuo shook his head again, "I'm not on the call list."

He lowered his eyes, remembering what Li Daolin said in the shuttle car, and didn't look at Pang Jiuzhou's eyes, "My military status has been transferred to the capital...the seventh section of the secret service system, the Nightingale Unit, so...I won't go to the front line, so , Mr. Pang."

Pang Jiuzhou froze, Xia Zuo didn't look at his expression, he also froze.

Two eye-catching handsome guys stood in front of the airport gate, and countless people passed by, looking at them strangely, and because of the weird atmosphere between the two, no one dared to approach them.

People who mourned the deceased relatives placed many lilies on the white bricks of the green belt along the street, and the spring breeze blew between them, bringing the icy fragrance of flowers not far away.

Pang Jiuzhou called out the light screen, ignored the shuttle that was about to depart, and checked the list of people enlisted to the front line one by one.

Sure enough, the name Li Xiazuo was not on the list.

In fact, there is no need to confirm, Xia Zuo is not a liar.

But...his future, the future where he is going to the stars and the sea, how can there be no Xia Zuo? !

He had already thought about it, he wanted to join the army with Xia Zuo, go to the battlefield together, rise up the military rank together, cultivate feelings for a long time, and then make everyone's eyeballs drop to apply for a partner.

This is the future that exists in his dreams.

Pang Jiuzhou felt that although an accident happened and he had to join the army in advance, the development of the matter did not get out of control, and everything was still on the track he envisioned. What is the result now?

He tried his best to suppress his anger, but the corners of his eyes were inevitably red. The black-haired sentinel took a few breaths and asked in a deep voice, "Why?"

"Zerg spies need someone who is professional enough to deal with it," Xia Zuo said, "This is the purpose of my birth."

Pang Jiuzhou reacted quickly, "Zerg spy? That man who looks the same as you?"

"Yes," Xia Zuo didn't know why he had to tell the whole secret, "xd1001 and I have the same base sequence, except for the special training after birth, I am no different from him. If judged in a human way, I It's the same person as him."

Pang Jiuzhou was stunned by the information he revealed in a short sentence. He took a few deep breaths, and suddenly pushed Xia Zuo roughly to the corner, and ripped off the artificial man's collar.

The barcode and number xd1009 under the collarbone are particularly conspicuous.

He suddenly understood all the secrets about Xia Zuo in the past.

It is so, it is so...

Pang Jiuzhou's sudden behavior attracted the attention of many passers-by, Xia Zuo glanced at them, his cold gaze forced them to look away before lowering their eyes.

The artificial human with gray hair and green eyes, sequence xd number 1009 asked, "So, do you want to continue?"

Pang Jiuzhou looked up at him in surprise, Xia Zuo's green eyes were transparent, like a mirror, reflecting his thoughts back into his eyes.

Xia Zuo didn't understand the meaning of Pang Jiuzhou's change of attitude after this semester, but he knew that Pang Jiuzhou wanted to get close to him. Xia Zuo didn't resent Pang Jiuzhou approaching him, but he was equally uneasy.

Can a guy like him, who is not even considered a human being, get these?

The cyborg who was infected with human bad habits took himself as a hostage and asked again seriously: "Do you want to continue?"

In such an unbearable truth, continue to approach something that is not even a human being like me?

The choice is yours.

Pang Jiuzhou let go of his collar and took a few steps back.

Xia Zuo was a little cold when Nuannuan left his side, and his heart also cooled down. The artificial man stood upright with his support against the wall, turned around and left without looking at Pang Kyushu again.

Then he was carried back to the corner by the collar by Pang Jiuzhou, the warmth came close to his side, and pressed against his lips quietly.

The sentinel panted heavily, and broke out in a lot of cold sweat because of the ups and downs of his mood, and bit the guy in his arms who was not surprising and kept dying.

A few seconds later, he let go of his mouth, looked at the bloodstain on Xia Zuo's lips with satisfaction, and asked viciously, "Do you know what I mean by what I just did?"

Shocked by the strange development, Xia Zuo shook his head in a daze.

Pang Jiuzhou wanted to cry when he saw his blank expression. If he had known this guy was a blank sheet of paper, why wouldn't he just go to bed?What kind of flower of Gaoling, it's just a cute one.

The portable smart phone has already urged him several times that the shuttle is about to leave. He had already missed several times in order to wait for Xia Zuo. If he missed this last one, he would violate military discipline before entering the army.

He stretched out his hand to pin Xia Zuo's too long sideburns behind his ears, knowing a shocking secret, but the haze in his heart dissipated completely.

It had been a long time since he ran with Xia Zuo so easily, passing through the farewell crowd, crossing the blockade for non-passengers amidst the airport security yelling, and running all the way to the shuttle.

Xia Zuo's hand was let go by Pang Jiuzhou, he stopped and watched as Pang Jiuzhou crashed into the hatch before it closed.

The hatch closed slowly, and the man waved inside.

"Let's compete again, Xia Zuo!"

"Let's see whose rank rises faster!"

"When we meet next time, you must figure out what I mean by what I just did!"

After shouting these three sentences, Pang Jiuzhou paused for a moment, and shouted again: "Goodbye!"

It was the words of farewell, but it contained the hope of meeting again.

Hundreds of electric currents light up around the cylindrical shuttle, and the central cylinder continues to rotate until everything is reduced to thin lines at an excessive speed.

The lights flickered on and the columns stopped.

Xia Zuo knew that the person who unilaterally made an agreement with him just now was no longer in the column.

Pang Jiuzhou arrived at Jinshuixing, where the war was raging, but he was left here.

Xia Zuo suddenly felt that he understood Li Daolin's sadness.

I agreed to your agreement.

The artificial man raised his hand and said softly, "Goodbye."
