The Sabbath Chapter 176: Separation
All the older children have been assigned a good place, and the older babies also voluntarily claim and take them with them. There are only three youngest babies. Two of them look like they were just born, and the other Slightly larger but physically weaker.
These three children obviously couldn't run and jump with the older child. Just being brought here through the ventilation duct made their frail little bodies look even weaker, and the slightly older baby even started to have a little fever .
"Otherwise, why don't you just put it here first?" The child in your arms happened to be the one with a fever among the three children, and it looked like she was lying on her shoulder with a red face after taking the antipyretic medicine prescribed by Xiaomei. Ronggui said to Xiaomei in embarrassment.
Pause for a moment, Xiaomei quietly looked at the three children, then at Ronggui, and finally nodded.
"Grandpa Wang is in charge of the Arrow team, hiding in the extension pipeline, once you notice something is wrong, immediately take him to hide with Kerry—"
Uncle Wang is no longer a child. Although he is a thin and withered little old man, it is still difficult to drag him into a higher-level prison cell through the ventilation duct. The only way to go is the extended passage, which is what Kerry once walked through. The extension channel is relatively wider than other channels, but it is only relative. The extension channel starting from here can only reach Kerry.
"We will take good care of him." The team leader named Arrow nodded, and dragged the old man up with other members of the team.
At this point, everyone is settled.
"Next, Agui will stay here to take care of the three babies, Eluo will take Grandpa Wang to the designated floor, and the others will also go to the place assigned to them. As for me—" the eyes slid across the faces of the children , Xiaomei's gaze finally fell on Berg's face: "Can you invite me to your place?"
There is no doubt that Xiaomei is referring to the children's playground in the ventilation duct.
It is a paradise that only belongs to children, and people outside have never entered it.
"Of course." Glancing at the other friends, he found that everyone had the same meaning as him, Berg nodded, but he was still a little hesitant.
"Xiaomei, what are you going to do?" Thinking that what happened before was everything, never expecting that Xiaomei would show up again, Ronggui looked at Xiaomei puzzled.
Xiaomei looked at him quietly and explained: "The previous plan is for everyone. In order to make everyone safer, we need someone to go inside the pipeline and make some arrangements.
I want to place vines at fixed points in the pipeline and use the fertilizer as a mechanism. Once the opponent's cleanup activity starts, the mechanism can be triggered spontaneously. When the vines spread rapidly in the pipeline, the danger of the opponent's surprise attack can be slightly reduced. . "
As usual, Xiaomei explained to Ronggui in a simple and clear way.
For Ronggui, he is always very patient.
"I can't tell which method the other party will use, and I don't know when the other party's actions will start, so it is not appropriate to let any child go."
"As a person who uses a mechanical body, I am the most suitable person to carry out this plan."
"I will not be drowned, and I will not be afraid of poisonous gas."
"Is the best person to go to the pipeline for layout."
Xiaomei evaluated calmly.
"Then I want to go with you! I'm also a robot!" Hearing what Xiaomei said, Ronggui immediately became anxious.
Even an idiot like him can guess how dangerous it is to do this, okay? ?
Walking alone in an unfamiliar pipeline, I don’t know when there will be cleaning activities in the pipeline. The flood of poisonous gas is Xiaomei’s guess, and the other party’s most likely behavior. Although I don’t know why Xiaomei has such a guess, But Xiaomei's words have always been reliable, since he said so, the other party will most likely do the same.
However, whether it is flood or poisonous gas
In Ronggui's mind, a picture of a small robot being washed away by the flood, its body scattered, and its body floating everywhere appeared in Ronggui's mind;
Or the little robot was corroded by poisonous gas and couldn't move.
Ronggui immediately grabbed Xiaomei tightly!
"You have to stay here and look after the child." Xiaomei looked at him and said to him calmly.
"But but..." Ronggui didn't know how to refute.
What to do? He always felt that Xiaomei assigned him the task of looking after the child in advance just for her own sake!
"I can do well, I'm very good, don't you always say that?" Big blue eyes looked at Ronggui quietly, Xiaomei said to him in a tone of stating the facts.
It was the first time I saw Xiaomei speak in such a stinking tone, but Ronggui couldn't laugh at all.
“What’s more——”
"It's just a mechanical body. If it breaks down, I'll go back to my body. Didn't we agree? Go back to my body together, wait until other things are done, and go to the bar?"
"Don't worry, I never do things that I'm not sure about, don't you always know?"
"Yeah." It was still this sentence that gave Ronggui confidence, holding Xiaomei's hand, Ronggui finally nodded.
Then Xiaomei pursed her lips slightly, raised her arms, and patted Ronggui's bald head lightly with his palm: "Take care of my body, take care of your body, I will come back as soon as possible of."
After speaking, Xiaomei waved the children away.
The Berg team and Di Dou took the initiative to stay, and they offered to bring Xiaomei in. Xiaomei didn't refuse the proposal, but just asked them to wait a while, and then turned around and went to the studio.
Xiaomei came out of the studio with a schoolbag on her back, on which he tied her own toolbox with a rope, wearing a steel helmet on her head, and a small lamp in front of the hat, this is still the two of them A memento left over from the days of the miners, with such a dress, Xiaomei looks a bit like an elementary school student going on an outing.
However, he wants to go out to do a very difficult but very great thing.
Next, Xiaomei went back to the bathroom again. He cut off a large number of whispering grass vines with scissors, and quickly packed them up. He also carried these things on his body.
"We'll help you!" Seeing that Xiaomei was about to be drowned by luggage, several children including Berg immediately volunteered to help him share some vines.
Xiaomei's head emerged from the vine again.
"Then, I'm leaving." With all kinds of things, Xiaomei stood in front of the elevator, Berg and the other children had already jumped to the ceiling briskly, and a few little heads were poking around. Waiting to pull Xiaomei up at any time.
"Xiaomei" was still holding a child in his arms, Ronggui suddenly felt a strong reluctance.
He and Xiaomei are rarely separated, especially after coming here, Xiaomei has never left him alone.
Now that he was separated for the first time, he was a little at a loss.
"I will try to come back as soon as possible, but you also know that there are many floors here, and what I need to do is to go from the 999th floor to the top floor, so it may take some time for me to come back. Time." Seeing Ronggui like this, Xiaomei comforted him.
"It's time to get our bodies, this time you have to go there by yourself, don't talk to anyone on the way, and return here immediately after you get your body."
Xiaomei urged, Ronggui could only keep nodding his head, it was the first time his mind was spinning so fast, he wanted to try to remember every word Xiaomei said.
Because the head kept pointing and pointing, he didn't notice that Xiaomei's eyes stayed on his face from beginning to end, calm, gentle and serious.
When he raised his head again, the other two emotions had disappeared from Xiaomei's eyes, and all that was left was tranquility.
Xiaomei took out a chip: "Things may become very bad, once things reach a state where you can't bear it, insert this chip into your brain."
"It's where the memory card is placed, I told you before."
"Put it in and you'll know what to do."
"But only use it as a last resort."
Xiaomei's words were still soft, but Ronggui suddenly became frightened, and grabbed Xiaomei's hand suddenly, Ronggui looked at Xiaomei nervously, and finally hugged Xiaomei's neck tightly.
Xiaomei quietly let him hold her, and finally put her hand on his waist lightly.
Where Ronggui and the children can't see, Xiaomei's eyes glow brightly.
The two little robots snuggled together quietly for a while, and finally it was Xiaomei who patted Ronggui lightly, and the two let go. His figure disappeared in front of Ronggui.
Ronggui will never see Xiaomei again.
And Xiaomei can no longer see Ronggui.
Without looking back, Xiaomei quickly followed Berg's figure, followed behind several children, and walked deeper and deeper. Soon, he left the slightly wider extended passage and came to the real "children's house". paradise".
Even for Xiaomei's figure, the environment here is narrow and terrifying. When she first entered, Xiaomei was stunned. It is possible for people to live here.
However, those children in the front just survived here.
Compared to Xiaomei, their figures were terrifyingly flexible. It didn't take long for Xiaomei to find that she couldn't keep up with their speed. But Xiaomei is Xiaomei, after carefully observing the movement of those children, he quickly imitated it, and in less than a minute, he moved as well as the children who grew up here.
Darkness, cramping, smell of urine and feces
The former is what Xiaomei can feel directly, while the latter is detected by him through the air analyzer.
I also want to know that these children live here, eat, drink and scatter here. Even if they have a certain awareness of hygiene, the hygiene conditions here must still not meet the standards.
He used to think that he was living in hell, but as he and Ronggui went all the way and experienced various things together, he no longer thought so.
Hell is not the dungeon he once thought, but here.
These kids are living in hell!
Fastly climbing behind the children, Xiaomei's heart was heavy, until turning a corner, the suddenly smaller pipe indicated that they had entered a deeper place again, and Xiaomei was ready to enter in an instant Preparations for more difficult terrain, however—
Turning the corner, he actually saw the starry sky? !
It was still dark all around, but on the dark background, there were dots of stars, and against the dark background, they emitted a faint green fluorescence.
Xiaomei was taken aback.
At this time, Berg in front smiled: "Well, we didn't eat all the ground beans you gave us, and each team saved one or two every day. We planted the ground beans in the pipeline Lila"
"Look! Isn't it very beautiful?"
The children giggled.
Xiaomei tilted her head and stopped at the corner. He quietly looked at the pipeline in front of him like a starry sky. After a long time, he nodded.
"It's really beautiful." Xiaomei sighed.
The ground beans that Ronggui insisted on bringing out actually created an almost miraculous beauty in this kind of place, which was something he could never have imagined.
Although they also saw some fluorescent lights inside when the elevator door opened, those fluorescent lights were far less shocking than what they experienced personally at this moment!
Xiaomei admired, pressed the camera button, and he saved the beautiful scenery in front of him as a photo.
I want to show it to Agui in the future - this was the thought in his mind at that time.
But soon, he was stunned again.
Silently pulling the backpack to the front, he raised his head and said to the children in front, "I'm going to plant the first vine here."
There were whispering weeds planted here by the children to mark the search records, but the children were inexperienced, and the soil here was not thick, so these whispering weeds did not grow as well as ground beans.
Xiaomei readjusted the position of the whispering grass, and then buried a fertilizer bomb in it.
He also buried a small trick, but that's something children can't understand.
The children helped Xiaomei together at the beginning, but when they reached the floor they were assigned to, Xiaomei asked them to leave.
"Di Dou will walk with me for a while, you go and get ready first." Waving her hand, preventing the children from following up, Xiaomei bid farewell to Berg's team.
Then it was just him and Didou.
The little child didn't know what fear was, so he took Xiaomei to the smaller channel where he usually moves.
They finally came to a pipeline that even Xiaomei's size couldn't pass through.
At this time, Di Dou watched curiously as Xiaomei removed the luggage from her body, and then took off her left arm and left leg.
So he can move on.
Looking at Xiaomei like this, Didou just found it funny, and kept turning her head curiously, and the little guy let out a cheerful laugh from time to time.
He still doesn't know what it means to be afraid.
Probably because few people came here with him, Didou was very excited, and kept pointing Xiaomei to the secret passage that only he knew, and the little Didou was very proud.
And when Xiaomei buried the vines and traps, he lay on the sidelines curiously.
Just like that, with only two of them, they climbed higher and higher.
Finally reaching a very high position, Xiaomei gently waved at Didou with her remaining right hand.
"Go, go where you were asked to go before."
Although he is young, Didou understands "orders" and general "plans" very well.
Looking at Xiaomei, the little guy finally left with three steps.
At this point, Xiaomei is the only one left in the pipeline.
There are still three vines left in his hand, and he wants to bury these vines on the top floor of the tower, so that if an unexpected disaster happens, the whispering grass in the entire ventilation duct can resist the first wave or even Second wave of damage.
Looking at the way she came, Xiaomei turned her head and continued on her way.
