The Sabbath Chapter 77: My right hand, your left arm
Ronggui heard small and dense chewing sounds coming from below.
Like a little mouse - he thought.
"Is it delicious?" Ronggui asked the child.
"Delicious! Very delicious!" Moisturized by the juice, the other party's throat was finally no longer so dry, and his voice became mellow.
"But, you really don't want to eat it?" The child asked in a low voice, "I only ate half, and there's still half left."
"Don't eat, don't eat, you can tell by looking at my hands, I'm already mechanized, I don't need to eat the fruit." Rong Gui said heartily: "Hurry up and eat the remaining half of the fruit."
"No, I don't know how long it will take to be rescued. I want to keep this half of the fruit and eat it slowly." The child refused.
Ronggui: =-=,,,
What should I do if I suddenly feel like facing Xiaomei? Is this the case for all academic masters? As long as they are given a little condition, they can think more comprehensively than anyone else.
However, hearing the other party's words, Ronggui glanced at the remaining energy in his body with a guilty conscience:
5%
A very, very dangerous number.
The alarm bell that warned him that he was about to run out of energy has stopped ringing because it will cost electricity.
Ronggui was startled.
However, he soon became optimistic again: Anyway, after spending so much effort and electricity, I managed to deliver the fruit to that child, didn't I? He ate the fruit and said that the fruit was delicious, didn't he?
Besides, he still has half a fruit left, so he can wait for rescue, right?
I don't know if it's because of the lack of electricity, but Ronggui began to feel that he lost control over his body. Forget about the others, he kept thinking about the right hand that delivered the fruit, probably because he focused all his attention on that right hand, at this moment, for Ronggui who had gradually lost his perception , the perception ability of that right hand has improved instead.
He felt a small hand beside his own.
Standing next to each other, not grasping, but just sticking to each other all the time.
He felt that little hand trembling slightly.
It's the child's hand.
Is he afraid? That's right, he should be even more scared when he has a fever and feels uncomfortable all over his body, right? It's just that he doesn't show his fear.
Just like Xiaomei.
Ronggui thought of Xiaomei again.
Maybe all smart people are like this?
In the darkness, the corners of Ronggui's mouth curved, and then he said softly: "Excuse me, can you hold my hand? I'm a little scared"
A person like Xiaomei has a strong self-esteem, so he can't be exposed directly, he needs a little skill.
So, in turn, Ronggui began to ask the other party to hold his hand.
His performance was really good, and there was even a hint of tremor in his voice.
"Don't be afraid, someone will come to save us." The trembling little hand that was rubbing against his hand immediately grabbed his hand.
In the darkness, Ronggui smiled again.
"Please hold my hand well, this is a new hand, very beautiful, I really like it"
"Please hold my hand tightly and help me keep him!" Next, Ronggui solemnly begged that child.
"I will." The solemnity in his voice was heard, and the child's voice also became serious.
"Is this hand really so precious?" Probably because he finally got to know Ronggui, or because he ate food he hadn't seen for a long time, or because Ronggui's hand in his hand gave him a sense of security. Showed a little childlike appearance.
He asked cautiously, with a little curiosity in his voice.
Then Ronggui replied to him: "It's very precious, this is what Xiaomei made for me, it's a very precious hand!"
"When we came out of our hometown, we were just two very broken robots. We walked and fell all the way. In order to change our bodies, Xiaomei took me to Erni City. He has no points. He has been a miner for a long time."
"Been buried several times."
"The head was smashed flat."
"But we finally accumulated enough points, and then Xiaomei took me to Yedehan City?"
"Do you know the city of Yadhan? It is a place where you can buy a lot of good metal materials"
Ronggui told the child the story of himself and Xiaomei.
It is obviously a very difficult life, but his words are lively and his tone is full of hope.
Ronggui talked like this, and then saw that the battery in his body was getting lower and lower, and finally, there was only 1% left.
Oops, talking about Xiaomei again
Sorry
But Xiaomei, you are so powerful, you must be able to find me, right?
My body is still complete, but one hand is missing
In the dimness, Ronggui told the child again: "I'm probably running out of battery, you must take good care of my hand!"
Hearing the other party's affirmative answer, he was relieved.
Then, his consciousness became even more hazy.
And then——
"Shall I sing you a song?" Ronggui said suddenly.
"When I was in the orphanage, there was a church nearby. At that time, I would go to the choir to sing every week. After singing, they would give me bread to eat
The pastor of the church is a foreign old man. I don't understand the meaning of the songs he taught me, but they are really very nice. "
"Shall I sing to you? It's just right, it should be almost burnt in a few days, right?"
Ronggui murmured.
His consciousness has been a little unconscious.
However, every syllable of that song was so clear in his mind.
Then, he began to sing.
Just one syllable, it amazes the people who hear it!
In the beginning, it was just a low hum, a very simple syllable, but Ronggui's voice was extremely clean, although it had a metallic feel to it, but he skillfully let this metallic texture blend into the song, making his voice listenable instead. Look glamorous!
Then, his voice began to rise slowly.
The soft, round metallic voice sang out of his mouth, and then penetrated into the darkness, into the gap between stones, between sand grains, Into all the places that Ronggui's body could not reach, and finally entered the ears of the child underground.
The dark space is full of oppression, everything is compressed.
Ronggui's voice was also compressed, but Ronggui's voice was not afraid of this stuffiness. It was even because of this environment that his voice became more suitable for other people's eardrums, as if a face-to-face Sing live.
Ronggui sang in a language that others could not understand, as he himself said, he actually didn't understand what he was singing.
But he still remembers the scene when he heard this song for the first time.
Blue sky, white clouds, white pigeons sliding across the sky——
The edges of the clouds are golden, and the shadow of the cross on the top of the church is black on the ground. The old pastor in religious clothes smiled and handed him an apple.
At that time, Ronggui had just been sent back by the family that adopted him for the second time, sad? Fear? Confused?
Maybe a little self-blame?
The little child was extremely helpless, and at that moment, he unconsciously broke into that remote chapel.
Listening to the choir there singing songs all afternoon, the old pastor found him and instead of chasing him away, he handed him a red apple, and then he gnawed on the fruit and continued to listen to the songs there.
Until you fall asleep.
Then Rongfu and the others came to find him.
Rong Fu is carrying him on his back, the little girl's back is thin but extremely warm
The feeling of redemption.
This is the emotion that will surge in Ronggui's heart every time he sings this song.
He was filled with this feeling, and then, when he sang, he was able to convey this feeling very well.
Still buried deep underground, the boy whose body is painful, hot and cold is the first to be redeemed by the emotion conveyed by singing.
In the darkness, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He looked straight up.
Through the boundless black sand and mud, he seemed to see some incredible scene.
Tightly holding the mechanical palm in his hand, the boy whispered: "My name is Joshua, can you tell me your name?"
Just as he was tremblingly waiting for Ronggui's reply——
The singing stopped abruptly.
The energy in Ronggui's body is exhausted.
——
"The family of the miner! That person is the family of the miner!" In the darkness, someone suddenly shouted with great excitement.
"What? The miner's family? Isn't that person number 31557?" Another person asked in a dry voice.
"He is No. 31557, but he is also a family member of a miner! He is a family member of a miner!" The person who spoke first said, stretching out the back of his black hand and wiping away the hot tears on his cheeks.
This person is naturally the Oni City DJ who once had a "never met relationship" with Ronggui in Oni City.
If someone could see in the dark at this time, he would see the red eye circles of this young man and the wet tears on his face.
Erni City DJ is not the only person in this small house buried under the soil, there are ** people around him, and everyone has tears on their faces.
This is probably another thing they have in common besides being dirty and hungry.
Xiaomei was right: the earthquake was indeed caused by the imbalance of forces in the star-making movement. The accident happened so suddenly that the vast majority of people were affected by the earthquake, and not one or two people were buried under the soil, but a large number of people.
The situation of Erni City DJ is slightly better. When the accident happened, he was reading a boring radio script in his room. After the earthquake happened, he passed out in the process of sinking immediately.
He woke up to the sound of someone calling.
Woke up rubbing his eyes in a daze, and after listening for a long time, he realized that the person calling was not his own name, but a person named "Xiaomei".
The sound came from the radio chip he wore--the little chip that was stamped on his pass, and everyone who was conscripted had it.
That voice is very familiar, it is another anchor in the camp, the one who has been in the limelight recently, although a bit jealous of his peers, the dj of Erni City also admits that the other's voice is really nice.
Being in a coma for too long, his mind was dizzy. Thanks to the other party's constant calling, he was forcibly woken up.
There is more than one person who had the same experience as Erni city dj.
Quite a few people fell into a coma after the earthquake, it was Ronggui's voice that woke them up, and the conversation between him and Xiaomei reassured everyone a little.
The voice is number 31557, and many people are quite familiar with his voice.
He probably didn't turn off the broadcasting equipment, which allowed the sound to reach everyone's radio chip.
Fortunately, he didn't shut it down. At this time, many people were buried alone, buried under the cold sand, and Ronggui's voice was the best comfort for them.
They heard that Ronggui and Xiaomei reported that they were safe, that Ronggui had found another victim, and that Ronggui had been desperately chatting with that victim.
At that moment, the victim rescued by Ronggui's voice was not the only one Ronggui spoke.
At that moment, all the people who fell into the trap alone took Ronggui's voice as a straw to save their lives.
What Ronggui said to that child seemed to be speaking to them.
When they heard that Ronggui had found the fruit, they heard Ronggui handing out the fruit with difficulty, and when they heard the sound of the child eating the fruit, everyone's mouths were filled with sweetness, as if they had eaten Ronggui themselves It is the same as the precious fruit sent over.
In the end, they heard the song that made everyone's hearts tremble——
At that moment, all those who listened to the radio felt that they were redeemed by the singing.
Anxiety, pain, tension, fear and all bad emotions are suppressed.
When the singing stopped abruptly, everyone burst into tears.
With one exception.
Xiao Mei.
Unlike most people, Xiaomei turned off the radio chip on the pass.
He is also a robot, just like what he said to Ronggui, he also wants to save energy.
The intercom program of the two people was disrupted by the earthquake. In order to repair this channel, he spent a full 9% of the energy.
For Xiaomei, who is very budget-conscious, this is a huge number.
Immediately afterwards, he used 15% of his energy to crawl out of the pit—without telling Ronggui, he was also trapped in the mud, and the buried position was not too shallow. After Sonic surveyed the situation around her, Xiaomei pushed herself out bit by bit.
The little robot came out missing a left arm.
His left arm was trapped under a huge steel bar. If he stayed in place, he could keep his arm, but he needed to come out now, so he took the initiative to remove his arm.
Just after he left, another small collapse occurred where he was standing.
Seeing that the place where she was originally trapped became completely unrecognizable again, Xiaomei knew that the arm he left there should not be able to get back.
He turned around quickly.
He wants to locate Ronggui as soon as possible while Ronggui still has electricity, and dig out that clumsy guy.
Before the earthquake, he was in the warehouse and knew every corner of the warehouse. Even after the collapse, Xiaomei could still locate the warehouse with an accuracy of about 85%. He knew where all kinds of items were stored. .
I also know the tools I need most now.
Xiaomei found a spherical backhoe.
In the following time, Xiaomei began to use the excavator to dig people.
When he was looking for the excavator, he dug up several unconscious people. After capturing them and waking one of them up, Xiaomei got on the excavator.
He abruptly used an excavator to dig a path out of the warehouse.
It is true that there is a locator in Ronggui's body, but the corresponding identification device is on Dahuang. In order to find Ronggui, he must first find Dahuang.
Fortunately, rhubarb didn't run around, it stayed in its original position, but after the earthquake, its position was deeper than usual.
The rhubarb was buried deep in the ground.
The location was much farther than expected, but Xiaomei finally found Rhubarb.
Of course, in the process of searching for rhubarb, he dug out many more people.
As usual, put these people in a safe place, wake one up, Xiaomei will leave the other things to the person who wakes up, and he will continue to look for Ronggui himself.
The energy in that idiot's body is probably running out.
He can only hope that the guy actually uses battery saver mode.
With a blank expression on her face, Xiaomei saw Rhubarb.
The car modified by Xiaomei with high-grade materials is now very strong, even though it is carrying countless sand and stones, its figure is still tall and straight.
Only the left window is broken.
Jumping out of the spherical excavator with difficulty, Xiaomei climbed into Dahuang's body along the car window.
At this time, fifteen hours and thirty-two minutes have passed since the last time he and Ronggui spoke.
If Ronggui has used the power saving mode, his current remaining power should be about 45%, if not, then there should be 36% remaining.
Still safe.
The locator in Ronggui's body consumes a lot of energy, and it needs 20% of the energy to mobilize. The reason why I told Ronggui that 30% of the energy must be reserved is because I was worried that he would waste too much energy if he didn't care about it.
Turn on the screen on Rhubarb, and Xiaomei looks at the opened screen as a black screen——
The locator is broken.
Calculating the energy consumption in Ronggui's body in her mind, Xiaomei began to calmly repair the instrument.
When the energy in Ronggui's body was still 28% in his heart, the screen finally turned on.
The locator has been repaired.
However——
"The equipment on the other end has insufficient energy and has been shut down."
What awaited him was the news that the locator in Ronggui's body had been turned off.
After all, an idiot is an idiot, that guy still consumed the energy in his body beyond the safe range.
By this time, their intercom calls were no longer available.
Sitting on Dahuang, Xiaomei was startled.
Then, very quickly, he moved again.
"I was strolling outside to see if anyone needed help. I saw Da Huang and said hello to him, and then, right after that."
"With a sound of biu, I just watched myself fall."
In the last conversation, he memorized every word Ronggui said, and he also accurately found useful information in the nonsense.
Rhubarb has a video function! Before, it was just to prevent someone from stealing a car, but now it seems that this function should capture the scene of Ronggui sinking!
Immediately thinking of this, Xiaomei quickly called up the video recording on Rhubarb's body.
Fortunately, Rhubarb was not Ronggui, and he did not drop the chain at the critical moment. Ronggui's expression before falling was clearly captured, and the process of falling was also very clear.
Xiaomei saw the complete picture of the falling robot with a pair of **** eyes.
There was still a smile on Ronggui's face, he didn't seem to realize what happened, he fell down in a daze.
Xiaomei remembered the location where Ronggui fell.
Climbed from Rhubarb's body to the spherical excavator outside again. At this time, the battery in his body still had 36% power remaining.
At this time, there are more and more people outside, and the search and rescue personnel sent by the government have also arrived. All kinds of excavators came to rescue the buried victims everywhere.
Those excavators are equipped with life signal recognition equipment, which is mainly aimed at non-mechanical life. According to the principle of rescue, the rescue team will take the lead in rescuing identifiable victims.
This naturally does not include Ronggui who uses a mechanical body.
Middled among a group of large machines, Xiaomei was digging expressionlessly.
During this process, he dug up three more people.
Every time I hope that person is Ronggui, every time, that person is not Ronggui.
Immediately, someone yelled and came over and carried away the dug out victims.
Xiaomei continued to dig.
He has less and less energy in his body.
Only 5% left.
At this moment, an indescribable feeling suddenly appeared in his body.
There was a wave in her mind, and Xiaomei suddenly jumped out of the excavator.
He stretched out his hand to scrape away the top brick on the ground where the excavator was working, and he touched a foot.
The color and material of the foot are exactly the same as the color and material of his right hand, this is——
Your honor!
Xiaomei immediately squatted down and continued to dig.
He dug desperately, his movements were so fast that he didn't look like the usual calm little robot.
Finally, he completely dug out Ronggui who was buried in the ground in an upside-down state.
Letting the black-eyed, unconscious little robot lie on her only remaining right arm, Xiaomei looked at him quietly.
Then, maintaining this movement, Xiaomei remained motionless.
The energy in the body was finally consumed to 0%, Xiaomei also shut down.
The two little robots nestle together still, like a group of harmonious statues.
