When I wake up, my wife is in my arms

You are the envy of machines

"I'm curious, how did you recognize me?" Dr. C smiled, "We probably haven't met before."

Wen Yin pointed to the badge on his white coat expressionlessly, on which was a cold picture of Dr. C and his title.

"Ah, people are old and confused."

Dr. C walked through the cabinet without hindrance, and sighed casually.

He looked at the human in front of him, with a trace of surprise that he couldn't hide, "I thought...you were dead long ago."

"To each other." Wen Yin said indifferently, "I also thought you were dead a long time ago."

In 223's mouth, there is also the information collected before. Dr. C died in the accident ten years ago. Who knew that today would give him such a big surprise.

Dr. C shook his head, "No, I've died a long time ago, it's true. What's in front of you now is just a projection of a dead person."

He subconsciously pushed his glasses, as if entertaining a guest, "Come in and sit."

The living room has a large space, but it is a pity that it is covered with a layer of white cloth to cover everything, and there are fine dust attached to it.

Wen Yin silently pulled up a stool and faced Dr. C face to face.

Dr. C is a scientific researcher whose age cannot be seen. From his face alone, time has not brought much aging to him. He may be 40 years old, or 50 years old or 60 years old.

"I was only 1 years old when I saw your photo for the first time." Dr. C's eyes were full of nostalgia, "So many years have passed in a flash."

Wen Yin realized that this was an opportunity for clichés, and he smiled, "I'm honored that my photos can be preserved for so many years."

Dr. C sighed: "Because it's you."

"How to say?" Wen Yin asked with interest.Although he doesn't know what kind of photos about himself now, but it's true to follow the formula.

Dr. C told a very clichéd story.

Many years ago (he didn't know exactly how many years ago) Wen Yin led a team to hunt down a group of notorious star thieves, and followed the star thieves to the Muse star, which was not marked in the empire's territory.

Their original intention was to take a group of star thieves back for trial on the basis of not disturbing the people on the original planet. If they were allowed to cause trouble on Muse, it might bring unexpected consequences.Unexpectedly, the commotion was too great, which shocked the local area.

That photo was taken at that time.

"My father was there at the time." Dr. C was immersed in his own world. "He was just a small scientific researcher at the time, but he kept that photo."

Dr. C enthusiastically said: "That is the first time to prove that there is a wider and more magnificent world outside Musi, just waiting for us to explore."

"Did you know?! This means infinite possibilities!" He was very excited, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no entity, he would have shaken Wen Yin's shoulders and chattered endlessly, "The resources of Muse Star are getting less and less, and sooner or later they will be exhausted, but It's different now."

Very good, the image of Dr. C corresponds to the one described in mouth 223, a mad scientist.

Wen Yin didn't say a word, and continued to wait for Dr. C to tell him a story.

As expected of a man of culture, he spoke immersively, and Wen Yin listened with gusto. Not only did he know the history of the planet Musi, but he also added some of his own experience by the way.

"But—" Dr. C's tone changed, and he suddenly asked Wen Yin, "Do you know why I blacklisted your photo?"

Wen Yin shook his head.

His expression looked very sincere, and he asked seriously following the words projected by Dr. C, "Why?"

He felt that the IQ of the projection in front of him didn't seem too high, at least not as good as Dr. C himself. If the real Dr. C was here, at least he wouldn't be able to talk for a long time without missing the topic.

Besides, 223 should know about his photo being put into the blacklist... Wen Yin's eyes flashed with thought, when 223 came out of the lab, he must have known something to behave so strangely.

Did you do something yourself?

"Many years ago, a virus appeared on Muse."

The point came, Wen Yin listened quietly.

Dr. C smiled bitterly: "This virus is very strange. It first appeared in animals. It was not taken seriously at first. The public thought it was just some common flu. By the time we found out that something was wrong, it was too late."

Thinking of the current situation of the base, Wen Yin frowned, "Can it be transmitted to humans later?"

"Yes." Dr. C said wearily, "This is an unsolvable virus, the number of human beings has been greatly reduced, they have been infected and mutated, and they have lost their will.

At that time my father had passed away, and I led the scientific research team to trace the source all the way, only to find that he might come from an alien—"

"The only one who knows our coordinates is you who have been here before, General Wen Yin." Dr. C looked at Wen Yin quietly, and the black-rimmed glasses flashed a cold light.

His tone was calm and helpless, as if this had been imagined countless times.

At that time, Dr. C established this base with the only remaining humans. He sat quietly in the laboratory all night, and finally walked to the control area, and recorded Wen Yin's photos.

If even the base cannot survive, then I only hope that the laboratory, which has preserved most of its defenses, is the last Noah's Ark for mankind.

He remembered that when he was young, he was taken into a cold laboratory. Mutations had already appeared in his father, and he voluntarily sacrificed himself.

The bony father was lying on the operating table. His lower body was swollen like a fish's tail and covered with scales. It was disgusting to look at.

He held his hand tightly, his nails almost sinking into the flesh:

"We must... Take Mu Xixing out and... solve it—" His voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes fixed on C.

Unfortunately, this wish was not fulfilled until Dr. C died.

"I don't know about the others." Wen Yin said indifferently, "I didn't do this."

According to Dr. C's timeline, when they encountered the catastrophe, they were still sleeping in the cave.

And... Wen Yin thought for a while, according to his superficial understanding of himself during the period of waking up, he didn't seem to be that bad.There is no need to get some virus to wipe out other people's planets.

Dr. C said wearily, "It's useless to believe it or not."

"Okay, one last question." Wen Yin said, "Your projection is here, who are you waiting for?"

Dr. C's surprised expression was not fake when Wen Yin entered the door.

"Wait for my child." Dr. C smiled helplessly, "I didn't expect that after so many years, he is still unwilling to forgive his father."

"223?"

"Did he change his name to this? It should be him. His name is Cheng Jiaze, and I have an adopted son named Cheng Jiayi."

"He is a real genius. After all, you know, not everyone has the ability to transform humans into robots."

…………

"I should go." Wen Yin stood up and said to the phantom in front of him, "Do you need me to speak for you?"

"It's not necessary." Dr. C's shadow almost disappeared, and the cold fluorescent lamp shone on the white floor without much warmth.

"Since he didn't come, it means he doesn't want to see me."

"Okay." Wen Yin paused before walking out of the room, then turned around and asked, "Which floor is your medicine section?"

"?" Dr. C was stunned for a moment, "At D1-1."

It seemed that his guess was right, Wen Yin smiled, "Where are the parts?"

"D1-3."

"Thank you."

The door was closed, and the light and dust left over from the past 10 years floated silently.

Dr. C, who stayed where he was, seemed to be a different person. With a malicious smile, he murmured, "He really believed it..."

------

223 waited long enough, he frequently looked at the time, but unfortunately almost an hour passed, and no one came out of the laboratory.

Shouldn't it be?

Suddenly there was the sound of rolling wheels in the distance, the movement speed was very slow, and a slow voice sounded, "223, I have been looking for you for a long time, why are you here?"

A wire accidentally protruded from the connection between 222's head and body, and 222's movements made a crackling sound of electricity.

223 knocked on 222's head, and stuffed the wire into the gap, "Didn't I tell you to wait in the house for me to go back?"

"But you haven't come back for a long time." 222 said aggrievedly, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Okay." 223 muttered something in a low voice, but 222 didn't hear it.

"What did you say, 223?"

"I said, I sacrificed a lot for you!" 223 said loudly in 222's "ear", "You have to compensate me well." For example, cleaning housework for a month.

Before the words fell, there was another sound of rolling wheels not far away.

223's eyes lit up, and the heart that had been hanging for a long time finally fell.

Wen Yin pushed the cart out, moving quickly.There were too many parts in the storage area. He didn't know what kind of parts 223 needed, so he took a lot of each and piled them up like a hill.

There are still some medicines in the outer pocket of the jacket. Fortunately, there are more medicines in the laboratory than in the warehouse, and some medicines are available and not expired.

"You want it." Wen Yin signaled.

"It's troublesome." 223 held back for a moment, but couldn't help but look at the pile of things like a baby.

Wen Yin said lightly, "I'll go first."

The distance was not short, but the suspension car traveled quickly, and soon arrived at Xie Huai's residence.

There is a robot who is going down the stairs with a sad face.

How did Wen Yin see that he was frowning? Probably because 823's electronic tentacles were too conspicuous, hanging down listlessly, without any energy.

Wen Yin's footsteps paused, and he had a bad premonition, "How is Xie Huai?"

823 said depressedly: "I just wanted to contact you, but the physical method didn't work, and he caught a fever again."

"It dropped to 38.3 at the beginning, we thought it would continue to drop, but who knew it would rise back to 39 degrees after a while."

"There's medicine, let's try it first." Wen Yin kept on walking, striding forward with 823.

"Really? So you went to get him medicine." 823's blue electronic eyes buling lit up, shining with a little starlight, and he praised unceremoniously, "You are awesome, and you are so kind to your friends. Friendship is really the envy of machines!"

"...Well, thank you..."
