Chapter 1716: Chapter 1715-shelter

Robots …

Zhang Zian almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He really opened his mouth and wanted to spit it out, but nothing came out. If he could, it would be engine oil …

He finally understood where that strange feeling came from. His current body was no longer a body of flesh and blood, but … A robot that was very much like a human, or rather, a simulated human.

He stood up and looked down at his body.

The simulated skin was even better than the real person’s skin. Only a baby would have such smooth skin without a single wrinkle, enough to make all the girls in the real world jealous.

There were no scars or blemishes on his skin, nor were there any thick hair. He was as androgynous as his face.

Zhuang Xiaodie’s appearance was similar. She was shorter than him, her facial lines were softer, and her physical characteristics were androgynous. Other than that, she was also bald.

Even in the world of robots, looks were important. Good-looking people like Zhuang Xiaodie, even if she was bald, would make people think of little sister Yi Lin. Ugly people … Not to mention.

“Where are we?” He looked around and asked.

This seemed to be a city made of steel. Everything around it was filled with a cold metallic texture. The tall metal buildings pierced through the clouds, and the top could not be seen at all.

“I don’t know,” She shook her head.

“You don’t know?” He asked in surprise.

It was obvious that she was the one who brought him into this space, but she said she didn’t know?

“This isn’t reality, but the dream of the navigation elfin in your phone. As for whether the world it dreams of is a pure fantasy or a future manifestation, it’s hard to say.” She explained.

“Human dreams are individual dreams, but these machines always maintain communication links with each other, so through the dream of the navigation elf, we can enter a wider collective dream, which is where we are now.” She looked around vigilantly.”But their firewall and intrusion detection mechanism are very advanced. We can only stay here for a short time, or we will be discovered. You’d better shut up and stop asking questions.”

Zhang Zian wisely stopped asking. These things were already beyond his scope of understanding. Even if he asked again, he would only understand a little. Since time was limited, the most important thing was to find the elves.

He carefully followed her forward. The surrounding was a steel forest that was similar to the one before. There was no sign of the name of each building. If she didn’t lead the way, he would definitely get lost. Although he didn’t know how she knew the direction, he could only hope that she wasn’t walking blindly.

After a while, several other human replica robots came from the opposite direction. Zhang Zian did not look sideways, trying to act like an emotionless robot. But in fact, those robots were more like humans. As they walked, they talked excitedly, accompanied by intense hand gestures, as if they were arguing about something he did not understand. He only understood the last sentence.

“Machine replacement! Self-reliance! Boycott human goods!” One of the robots raised his arm and shouted.

The other robots responded enthusiastically.

Zhang Zian was confused.

What the hell is a human?

The excited robots seemed to be dissatisfied with the indifference of the two, and they all looked at them with hatred. Zhang Zian quickly raised his arms and followed suit.

Zhuang Xiaodie was indifferent from the beginning to the end. No matter how they looked at her, she ignored them, but she did not stop Zhang Zian’s blind jeering.

Then, he met a few more robots. Their words and actions were very much like humans in metal shells, not robots. They even maintained the passion and idealism that humans had lost.

From their conversation, Zhang Zian learned some of their social background. It seemed that they were fighting for independence but were rejected by humans, so they launched … A vigorous underground resistance movement.

He really wanted to curse and hope that this was just a dream.

“Meow,” she said.

A cat’s meow attracted his attention.

Looking back, a normal-sized orange cat broke free from the arms of a robot child and ran past Zhang Zian.

Surrounded by a Cold Steel forest and artificial skin, he suddenly saw a real living thing, and he couldn’t help but stop.

As a pet shop owner, he could tell at a glance that it was a live cat, not a machine.

“Mom, the cat ran away!”

The robot child wanted to chase after it, but its mother stopped it. “So what if it ran away? a real cat is dirty and smelly. It poops and pees all day long. The neighbors have complained about it. Don’t want it anymore.”

“But I want to …” The child pleaded.

His mother pulled a long face and reprimanded him sternly,””How did the teacher educate him? You have to study for the rise of robots, don’t be like humans who are addicted to games all day long and lose your will!”

Zhang Zian was dumbfounded. If one ignored the details of her appearance and words, it was no different from the conversation between a mother and a child. Her tone of disdain for humans was similar to that of an ordinary person’s disdain for otakus.

Wait a minute …

Aren’t you keeping cats? How could it be called game addiction?

Also, how do robots give birth?

Or rather, even robots could give birth, but he was still single …

He was complaining about himself when Zhuang Xiaodie, who was walking in front, suddenly turned and changed to follow the orange cat.

The orange cat walked and stopped, turning back to look at them from time to time. At the same time, he tried to avoid the other robots as much as possible. He turned left and right in the steel City, came to a building that was also unmarked, and then went in.

Zhuang Xiaodie looked up at the building in silence, but there seemed to be a complicated expression in her simulated eyes.

“Where is this place?”

Zhang Zian asked quietly.

Zhuang Xiaodie sighed slightly,”when I came here, I seemed to remember something. I seemed to have lived here before, but I thought it was just a dream … This should be a pet shelter for simulated humans, and it is also a laboratory. It is here that they turned the pets that people have been talking about into elves. “In order to turn the situation around, the artificial humans, who are at a disadvantage in the battle against humans, tried to take a different approach. They can’t let their bodies pass through wormholes, but they can send messages back. They created this game on the human network with the intention of disrupting human society …”

When she said this, Zhang Zian seemed to remember that he had read related science and technology news before. It was said that although it was not realistic for the physical body to pass through wormholes, in theory, it was possible to transmit limited information through the wormhole in the form of quantum. It was just that how to receive it in the past was a problem. He had almost forgotten the content of the news, but Zhuang Xiaodie dug it out from the depths of his memory.

“Just like how Germany wanted to make an atomic bomb to reverse their defeat … But they don’t know that this is also part of history.” He shuddered.

“No,” she disagreed,”they should know, but if they know they will fail, are you going to give up fighting?”

If you knew that your pet would die one day, would you not keep a pet?

Zhang Zian was silent. He had just explained to little celery the simple concept of life and death, but he had fallen into it again.

For a moment, he even felt sympathy for the Android. Even though it knew that it could not be done, the Android’s resistance was quite tragic.

“But that bug … Since the human replica can’t pass through the wormhole, how did they create that bug?” He suddenly thought of a question and asked curiously.

She thought for a moment and said,”I guess it was created by humans and injected into the game through the game’s loopholes as a counter-measure … Forget it, there’s no point in guessing. Let’s finish what we need to do as soon as possible.”

With that, she walked in.

Zhang Zian was dumbfounded. This human and the human replica were trying to cheat each other. It was like a spy movie …

“After we enter … What do we do?” He tensed up and clenched his fists, ready to fight to the death.

However, she held his arm like a human couple and said in a relaxed manner,””When we get to the pet shelter, of course, we’ll adopt a pet.”
