Artificial Wizard Growth Log

For most people on the front line, today's battle is quite inexplicable.

Humans and Zergs have been facing each other across Venus's Skynet for many years, and the two sides are well aware of each other's deployment of troops. Even before the peace day happened three years ago, although Venus was the front line of the confrontation between humans and Zergs, it was a long time ago. There was no fighting.

And after the Peace Day, the fighting never stops every day, and the fighting between the two sides has formed a certain rigid inertia, and it seems that there will never be a day to break this inertia.

Frightened by the lessons of the Seven-Year Human-Insect War, the human government is very hesitant to go to war. Although the total number of Zerg in these years is not much worse than that before the war, the increase is all low-level Zerg as cannon fodder, and the evolution of high-level Zerg. Numbers are far from recovering.

This is also the reason why the Zerg hastily declared war. Higher Zerg will only evolve in war.

The battle between humans and Zerg around Venus has formed a certain balance. In order to prevent the decisive battle that will come one day in the distant future, both sides are tacitly training their troops.

So... the Zerg force suddenly doubled today, what's going on?

Increases increase, just got angry, why did these bugs retreat again?They almost spared the life of the leader Bug Anari.

Anari, who was asked by the Human Alliance to act as a bait in person, felt extremely irritable, while Marshal Turan and An Huaichun on the other side were equally irritable.

Neither the irritable bugs nor the human soldiers noticed that a small spaceship flew out from the top of the sky pillar, quickly activated its optical camouflage, and disappeared into the vast universe.

***

Xia Zuo didn't stay in a coma for as long as some people planned.

Not long after the spaceship left the Tianzhu, his consciousness had already awakened. Orange photons flickered faintly in the air, which did not attract the attention of the person in charge of the infirmary.

Before the machine that imprisoned him could react, Xia Zuo used a pseudo-mental ray to hack into the vital sign scanning machine beside him, so that the machine did not send out an alarm to report that the electromagnetic waves of his brain had changed from no excessive fluctuations to an active state.

With just such a small intrusion, Xia Zuojue felt that his hard-earned physical strength was exhausted again.

"..." I wanted to vent my grief and anger.

His usual calm kept his breathing and heartbeat unchanged, and he lay on the bed with his eyes closed for a few minutes, making sure that his hands and feet regained some strength before turning his attention to his surroundings.

A very rapid breathing sound, a fast heartbeat, and the soles of the feet unconsciously slapping the floor... Anxious, nervous, not a familiar person... Disinfectant alcohol, strange smell of medicine, bad rubber smell, bloody smell, air freshener... …a person who is in the hospital a lot.

Is it a doctor?

But, why did he also hear the slight hum of the thrusters and feel the vibration of the metal bed beneath him... This is on a spaceship.

Judging from the sound of the propeller engine, it is a light space elf-class spaceship, military series.

This kind of light spaceship can usually only carry three to four people, and in this spaceship, apart from the doctor, he is the only one.

... What about Pang Kyushu?Is he not by his side?Xia Zuo thought silently.

He was depressed for a moment, then quickly broke away from this emotion and began to think about his situation.

Obviously, the doctor who was in the same room with him would not have any resistance when facing him, and he who had the absolute advantage didn't need to be too careful.

Thinking of this, he opened his eyes.

The doctor in a white coat was sighing with his back facing him, looking very sad from the back.

In the small spaceship, there are only buttons on the operating platform and the weak light source of the screen. The moment Xia Zuo opened his eyes, he automatically adjusted to night vision, and his eyes glowed weakly in the dark.

The person in charge of the infirmary who was sighing and sighing was stunned, his eyes shining with emerald green light were reflected on the frosted steel plate in front of him, turning into two small groups of bright green halos.

Kind of like phosphorous fire in Midnight Graveyard.

The heart of the person in charge of the infirmary stopped beating at this moment, and he heard the sound of blood hitting the heart valve after a few seconds.

Hehe, hehe...how could there be ghosts?

After admonishing himself like this, the person in charge of the infirmary couldn't help recalling a short ghost story of about [-] characters that someone posted while browsing the forum yesterday.

It seems to be a story about a pilot who is flying a spaceship alone and is haunted by a ghost.

Wrong ghost... He who has dealt with Hopkins' mentor several times has a life in his hand, and now, he is alone...

The person in charge of the infirmary felt something cold and soft pinching his neck, the feeling was like hands.

Xia Zuo: "..."

Who will tell him why the bald doctor fainted without saying a word, and he hasn't said anything yet.

He raised his hand and looked to make sure that there was no ether smell on his hand, and he didn't even use much effort just now.

Xia Zuo squatted silently, turned over the bald doctor who had fainted face to the ground, and fell into deep thought while looking at that very unpleasant face.

Xia Zuo's memory is much better than Pang Jiuzhou, who took a while to remember the person in charge of the infirmary. Xia Zuo almost remembered who it was when he saw this face.

The artificial man touched the back of the neck subconsciously. The interrupted nerve connection was installed on the seventh cervical vertebra. The wound from the original operation had healed long ago, and there was not even a shallow scar left.

Portable Smart: "...Mr.?"

Xia Zuo shook his head, and didn't say anything to the intelligent AI who helped him a lot, but picked up the bald doctor, put him on the metal bed, and took the handcuffs he had just unwrapped silently, and handed it to the bald doctor. superior.

After making sure everything was safe, he went to see the operating platform of the spaceship.

There is no driver, it is an intelligent automatic driving, and the coordinates of the destination are roughly judged to be in the small meteorite belt between Mercury and Gumen.

Xia Zuo frowned, and clicked on the light screen to modify the destination.

The coordinates of the nine federal administrative stars are the most basic content in geography textbooks. Xia Zuo tapped the keyboard to enter the coordinates of Venus Mercury, and press Enter to modify.

The light screen suddenly went dark.

A few seconds later, a new light screen was popped up by the operating platform, and a long period of garbled characters appeared on the faint blue light screen, and it returned to normal after tens of seconds.

The lights in the spaceship turned on suddenly, and the darkness disappeared. It didn't bring Xia Zuo a sense of peace of mind, but made him feel hairy all over.

Just now... it seemed that something terrible had glanced at it.

In the next second, Xia Zuo's already pale face was as pale as if he had lost his life. The man who appeared on the light screen looked at him without the slightest warmth in his eyes.

The man looked at him like he was looking at something alive.

Xia Zuo lowered his eyes subconsciously to avoid meeting the man's gaze, and a name blurted out from his mouth.

"...Dr. Peter Hopkins..."

The artificial man felt like he was groaning, but in fact he was very calm, and even Dr. Hopkins didn't see his panic.

"My child, do you still remember me?" Dr. Hopkins smirked, "I thought you were having so much fun outside that you didn't even know you should go home."

"Go home?" Xia Zuo repeated in doubt, and this short sentence set off a storm in his heart.

When the doctor refers to going home, he only means going back to the research institute.

And the cyborg xd1009 is very satisfied with his current life, he has found his position in normal human society, with his fetters, his relatives, his subordinates, his... lover, although he still has many I don't understand the place, but he can maintain this kind of life until his normal death, and he doesn't want...change at all.

For example, get involved with the research institute.

"Aren't you willing to go home?" Hearing the reluctance in Xia Zuo's tone, Dr. Hopkins narrowed his eyes to hide the vicious light flowing in his eyes, "xd1009 has always been a good boy of father... By the way, Your name is Xia Zuo now, right?"

Xia Zuo shuddered, and when his name came out of the doctor's mouth, there was a strange sense of disobedience.

"Xia Zuo, I still remember that this is the name given to you by the researcher Alice who was close to you back then, right? You really need such a normal name to communicate with ordinary people. It's a good disguise, but..."

Xia Zuo lowered his head, not daring to look at the extremely malicious smile in the light screen.

"...However, a disguise is a disguise after all. Don't forget that your real name is xd1009, the xd man-made guide project, the first generation of man-made man, number nine."

"xd1009, there is a huge gap between artificial humans and humans"

Saying this sentence like an elder persuading a younger generation, Xia Zuo's silent reaction made Dr. Hopkins a little bored. He waved his hand to say goodbye later, the light screen went out, and the lights of the spaceship also went out along with it.

The spaceship fell into darkness again, just like Xia Zuo who fell into darkness.

The bald doctor who was tied to the metal bed groaned in pain. Xia Zuo raised his hand expressionlessly, and slashed the back of the bald doctor's neck with a knife, causing him to faint again.

"……I"

"...I am human."

Xia Zuo murmured in the dark, repeating as if reciting a magic spell that could bring about a miracle.

"I have seen... among humans, there are guys who are more indifferent than me. I have also seen... humans who live like robots. Some humans regard emotions as scourges and avoid them, and some humans are addicted to emotions. I don't know the reality, I may be fundamentally different from others, but I am learning, thinking, getting family, friendship...and love from people around me, and trying to give back with the same feelings, at this point, I and The tens of billions of humans in the universe... make no difference."

He paused and raised his voice, "Whether Xia Zuo is human or not, you don't need to admit it."

After saying this sentence, Xia Zuo closed his eyes and regained his composure.

The operating platform of the spaceship has been remotely controlled by the research institute, and the destination cannot be changed. However, he lost the nanomechanical group, and his combat capability has been reduced by more than 20.00%. The specific value needs to be calculated by a computer.

It's a pity that his ship-slaying knife was damaged in the previous battle. Otherwise, it would be better than being brought into the base of the research institute even if he could not survive in the universe for a long time without oxygen and protective clothing.

However, has the research institute forgotten that he is not a cyborg used for frontal combat like xd1001, he spent 19 years of his life receiving training in infiltration, intelligence gathering and assassination, and combat training occupies an important part of these courses It's just a small fraction.

What about being sent to a research institute?Are the group of researchers who are not active in four limbs really confident to deal with him?
