Yu Le watched the noodles in the bowl swell in front of him, fiddled impatiently with the chopped branches, and finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing to eat. After so many years in the sea of ​​ruins, he is not a picky eater, but the stench of the human brain in his memory is still lingering at the tip of his nose, and the feeling of nausea is lingering.

He raised his head and glanced at Ruan Xian who was silently peeling the eggshell. A few hours ago, that handsome young man looked much paler than now.

"Can anyone answer me, what were these things used for before the Great Rebellion?" The memory returned to the basement of the Flower Peacock shop again, and the other party's question was still buzzing in his ears.

Yu Le suspects that after returning to the car to rest tonight, he can still dream of those crazy scenes in the basement.

Ruan Xian actually had no appetite. Even though everything in the grounds of the shop had disappeared with the flames, the pale light on the operating table was still etched in his mind.

For the purpose of study and research, he has dissected many creatures since he was a student, until the disease made him lose the ability to pick up a scalpel. Ruan Xian had a high degree of acceptance of blood, but the madness in that scene grabbed him.

It is difficult for people in peaceful times to imagine real corpses.

People may have seen it in film and television works, text or pictures, and mistakenly think that their receptivity is high enough, but vision and imagination are only part of perception. When a person stands in a real pool of blood, surrounded by bodies and wreckage of the same kind, the sensory impact is not an order of magnitude at all. In an era when people still need to shoot and execute criminals in person, police officers who deal with all kinds of darkness still need psychological counseling, and scenes that are too distorted are more likely to cause people to collapse than people think.

Ruan Xian was calmer than he thought, but the cold he felt was more inclined in the other direction.

He suddenly had a strange feeling that he was like a wolf raised in a pile of rabbits, insisting on living on vegetable leaves under various disciplines. As soon as they stepped out of the cage, the rabbits were busy eating the meat residue on the corpse, their mouths full of blood.

Even though there is no shortage of corpses in the sea of ​​ruins, the ones here make people even more frantic. Corpse mounds are bad enough in and of themselves, both in battle and in relatively peaceful neighborhoods.

The blood continued to spread in his memory.

"I don't know." Yu Le was hesitant for the first time in his memories. "I've been in prison for a few years, and I don't know what's going on outside. Damn, what are these things?"

The former captain of the Walker seemed to be trying to adjust the atmosphere, but there was an inescapable shock in his voice.

"The variant of Ruan Xian and Fan Linsong's farewell plan, I should have mentioned that plan to you." Tang Yibu replied calmly and coldly, "Extract the memory of the patient with special brain damage and complete loss of perception, and replace the brain. For the electronic brain. They let such a new product accompany their family members, and also let them get rid of the fate of spending money for a hopeless vegetative person for many years. Of course, there are also people who insist that such a product is also their family member, but pretends to be artificial Organs, it's very common."

"You said that the farewell plan is strictly controlled."

"Yes." Tang Yibu glanced at the electronic brain on the shelf, "but I also said that Pulan Company chose another way. They used human tissue to add a mechanical synthetic shell, combined with the electronic brain, to make such a bionic human When it was put into the market, the ethics department required that the composition of human tissue in the android shell should not exceed 35, and the tissue donor must also be legal.”

Then he walked to the pool full of bodies, lowered his head, and looked at the sardine-like bodies in the pool. "Strictly controlling the content of human tissue requires the cooperation of very sophisticated bionic mechanical technology. We all know how to do it the easiest way. The combination of the plan and the farewell plan is like making a complete replicator, removing the brain and replacing it with an electronic brain. The natural design is much more subtle than the human, and it is faster to manufacture.”

"Part of the underground industry" Ruan Xian felt uncomfortable.

"It's not necessarily underground." Tang Yibu turned his head, and the smile on his face disappeared. "To be honest, a lot of people don't care."

""

"Few people really care about other people's emotions, let alone what other people have in their minds. As long as you don't have to see this picture in person, it's not a matter of a day or two for humans to treat the same kind as commodities."

Tang Yibu stretched out his hand and pulled out a wet arm from the pool.

"On the other hand, if a large number of artificial mechanical organs are used, the natural tissue content of normal humans may also be lower than 35. Can such a person be classified as a bionic person? Later, people simply turned a blind eye."

"Your ethics department's work efficiency is terrible." The inexplicable discomfort became stronger and stronger, Ruan Xian forced a smile.

"No, it's because the benefits are too great." Tang Yibu threw back the unresponsive arm, "When Pulan just launched the bionic man"

"I know about this. I'm against the parade using humanoid machines, right?" Yu Le was still staring at the bucket of brains, his teeth were grinding. "Just before I squatted. I remember it was quite a big riot, but everyone quickly settled down. Legal slaves can live more comfortably by themselves. There is public opinion and money on the top, who cares. That moral bottom line"

"So this is the machine to take out the brain." Ruan Xian shifted his gaze from the operating table to the pool. "That is the body storage tank. As long as the body is made by printing with organic materials like the shelter, it is really convenient."

He was silent for a while, his eyes swept over the blood-stained operating table machinery. In the pale light, the machine's slender metal feet cast messy black shadows on the operating table, and with the bloodstains on the table, it is quite a bit of a show of teeth and claws.

"The technology of taking memory samples from a living body and then filling the electronic brain with memory is definitely not something that non-professionals can easily come up with. The farewell plan is Ruan Xian's thing, and he can't even manage his own technology."

The anger that he hadn't seen in a long time struck again, and Ruan Xian stabbed his fingernails into the palm of his hand to keep his tone steady.

"Sorry, I don't know the details here." Tang Yibu's voice was flat, not sure if it was an illusion, Ruan Xian heard a bit of loneliness from it. The android stood on the edge of the body of a pool of white flowers, and seemed to be a part of it, looking strong but fragile.

"Crazy, crazy." Yu Le murmured, "Compared with this group of people, Fan Baiyan can be regarded as a conservative. It seems that Lao Tzu was right to squat at the beginning, I would rather face that group of murderers, I don't want to see this either"

"Let's make a big noise." Ruan Xian was neat.

Yu Le and Tang Yibu looked at him at the same time, Tang Yibu turned his head slightly, and something Ruan Xian couldn't understand flashed in his eyes.

"How to say?" Yu Le sounded eager to try.

"No, now our intelligence is seriously insufficient." Tang Yibu rarely put forward the opposite opinion. "This is not a sea of ​​ruins. I know very little about it. In addition to the previous city defenders, the power situation in the dungeon is relatively complicated. Even if our fighting ability is no problem, if there is too much trouble, it will definitely attract orderly supervision."

He paused.

"Besides, 80% of the people here are accustomed to this kind of thing, and Qian Yigeng is definitely not the only one doing this. It's useless to make a big deal. Mr. Ruan, this is not the purpose of our coming here. It is better to choose the plan with the greatest chance of winning."

"I don't care how other people react, or how many people are still doing this. Tang Yibu, you really think I want to be a self-absorbed hero. You still have a lot to learn in terms of observation."

Ruan Xian began to take materials from the medicine cabinet beside the operating table, and his movements were extremely firm.

"I know how to have the best win rate. It's just that I'm in a bad mood right now and don't really want to control it."

He threw two packets of hemostatic powder on the blood-stained operating table, and supported the edge of the operating table with both hands, not caring at all about his blood-stained hands. Across the operating table, he looked directly into Tang Yibu's eyes.

"Next, I will declare war, and I will bite Qian Yigeng's throat tightly and pull him out of this street. As for the power, it's good to see the move. The winning rate is not zero, the two of us can win. If you want to stop you know how to stop me."

Ruan Xian touched the earring in his left ear. Tang Yibu didn't speak or respond.

The android silently watched Ruan Xian mix the potion with other chemicals, while Yu Le began to destroy the large machinery and dump fuel at the key points. The priceless old-fashioned electronic brains were placed on the shelf by his hand, and the former Ruins didn't even look at them.

"Yu Le, there is a fire isolation device here. You go upstairs to make a small fire first, and see if the people who should be evacuated have finished. Then just leave, remember to draw the attention of those people at the door. Yepo and I Keep it here, and put it here when the time is right."

He twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was almost joyful.

"Burn this place down with a bang."

"Where to meet?" Yu Le did not protest against Ruan Xian's command. He rolled up his sleeves to reveal his sturdy forearms, and put the sharp scalpel in his fanny pack.

"Yibu, do you still want something to eat?" Ruan Xian's voice softened slightly when he turned to Tang Yibu. "It's a bit risky to go back to the car directly. Let's meet at Li Ji Noodle House."

Yu Le gave him a thumbs up and quickly left the creepy basement. Tang Yibu remained silent, he stared at Ruan Xian closely, as if he knew him for the first time.

"Perhaps the personality data is miscalculated." After a long time, he opened his mouth. "From the sea of ​​ruins, you are getting more and more out of control."

"Faced with such a scene, you put the word out of control on me." Ruan Xian wrapped the damp mixture and stuffed it into a temporarily found iron pipe. "I thought you would like this kind of experiment, after all you can see a lot of things that you don't usually see."

Silence drifted between the two for a few seconds.

"Ah." Ruan Xian put the ready-made signal explosives in the right place, he wiped his hands on the white coat casually, and the smile on his face became strange. "You are worried."

He walked slowly in front of Tang Yibu and raised his head slightly, "I'm getting more and more out of control, and I'm starting to choose a harder path, right? You can't guess right. If you continue like this, maybe one day I will also ignore the most reasonable ones. Choose and risk your life to shoot at you."

He stretched out his hands and held Tang Yibu's cheeks. He found vigilance in the eyes of the other party unsurprisingly, and there was a trace of panic that was almost untraceable.

"I don't like this feeling." Tang Yibu muttered, stretched out a hand and stuck it on Ruan Xian's throat. "It made me a little uncomfortable."

The android slightly tightened his fingers and glanced across the absurd room. Ruan Xian didn't struggle, just let go of the hand holding the other's cheek, and rubbed his hands on the operating table behind him.

Two steps away from their feet was a pool of countless bodies, and the shattered brains kept spitting out the fishy smell in the metal bucket. Tang Yibu pressed him to the edge of the operating table, completely snatching all his escape routes, but the confusion in those golden eyes became deeper and deeper.

"I'm not the only one out of control, you found it." Ruan Xian continued with a little difficulty, clenching his fists secretly.

"This is a test." Tang Yibu's voice was a little hoarse, "You deliberately spend your leisure time, and choosing a more dangerous approach is not purely emotional."

"I even prepared a venue and equipment for you." Ruan Xian smiled, "If you destroy my brain, you may even have the opportunity to replace it with a new old-fashioned electronic brain. How convenient. This is the safest and most reasonable solution, why don't you do it? Woolen cloth"

Near-dark rage mixed with subtle longing burst out the moment he discovered the true use of the machine. This move is almost foolish, but full of temptation. His rationality and common sense screamed to stop, but Ruan Xian involuntarily moved his feet to the edge of the cliff.

Perhaps the absurd circumstances intensified the madness, and the almost illogical pleasure almost made his blood boil.

Outbursts of anger, subtle longings. Ruan Xian wasn't sure whether he wanted to confirm something impatiently or deny something impatiently. I don't know if it was an illusion or not, but the barrel of the gun, which was close to the skin near the ribs, was slightly warm. The emergency explosive device in his hand made his palm hurt, maybe bleeding.

He ignored the pain and stared into those beautiful eyes with fascination.

"Why didn't you do it?" He repeated again, satisfied to find that the strength of Tang Yibu's hold on him was getting smaller and smaller, and for a moment he looked like a lone wolf who had lost his pack.

"This is a dangerous influence." Tang Yibu muttered, sounding even a little aggrieved. "Unknown and dangerous, but valuable. And makes me sad."

He looked at Ruan Xian, as if he wanted to dig out some antidote in the other's face with his eyes.

"Mr. Ruan." After a few seconds, he muttered in a low voice, as if he wasn't the one who showed the killing intent just now. "You win, let's take this step first and see Qian Yigeng's reaction. I still don't support your approach, but if I can't hear you again"

Ruan Xian didn't respond, he hooked Tang Yibu's waist with one hand, clenched the other's black hair with the other, and kissed him fiercely. The emergency explosive device clutched in the palm of the hand rolled to the ground and stopped silently. Tang Yibu responded to the kiss awkwardly for the first time. He pressed the other person on the operating table again, and his forehead almost rubbed the blood-stained mechanical tip.

It wasn't a erotic kiss, and Ruan Xian didn't even know why he did it. Maybe he wanted to prove a certain emotion, or maybe he just wanted to defeat the other party.

The other party's response was equally uncertain and shaky.

Simply escaping is no longer an option, Ruan Xian thought. Not to mention Tang Yibu, he himself couldn't accept this. The other party was like a beautiful butterfly with virulent poison. He knew that it was deadly, but he was reluctant to look away from it. If you want to be free, that freedom is bound to be bloody.

The original simple use of the relationship gradually developed into a mess, only to see who showed the knife to cut them off first.

He pulled Tang Yibu's hair fiercely, making sure that the other party bit the tip of his tongue intentionally or unintentionally. As he deepened the bloody kiss, he kicked the emergency explosive device beside the operating table, the flames blazing from the iron barrel full of brains.

"Let's go."

Ruan Xian grabbed two parts and ended the long breathless kiss. The smell of burnt flesh began to fill the air. The ceiling was collapsing, and he knew the bright red signal bombs would follow the iron pipes through the roof, lighting up bright red marks in the dark.

"What kind of noodles do you want to eat this time, my bowl is still yours."

After that, things were much simpler. With Tang Yibu, who can quickly travel through the darkness, they arrived at the noodle shop almost at the same time as Yu Le.

Pulling himself out of his memory, Ruan Xian put the peeled boiled egg into Tang Yibu's bowl and sighed.

Tang Yibu's chopsticks stopped for a few seconds. He carefully opened the egg and poked the yolk into Ruan Xian's mouth solemnly, acting a little aggressively, as if he was in some kind of competition.

"You two stop for a while." Yu Le pushed the bowl of noodles that had risen to the side, "It's alright now, it's time to make trouble. Next step, I think"

"If I guessed correctly, Qian Yigeng will ask He An first." Ruan Xian swallowed the egg yolk and licked the tip of his chopsticks. "Let's not talk about He An's attitude, Qian Yigeng will definitely act."

"Why, I don't think He An will help." Lao Yu dropped a little from the branch and began to pick his teeth. "He doesn't look like a broken-brained hi, well, maybe we're the ones with a broken-hearted mind these days."

"Let's see what Miss Ji means in the morning." Tang Yibu quickly finished the bowl of noodles. "After all, she has certain information in her hands. It is better to be safe."

Ruan Xian gave him a meaningful look, "Agree."

"Uh." Yu Le tapped the table with his chopsticks and frowned slightly. He was sitting facing the door, looking towards the small door of the noodle shop. "Maybe we can get more information, you two, look back quietly."

It's a pity that he didn't finish his words, and he stepped forward to the convenience, and his voice was smiling, gentle and pleasant.

"Old Litou, save me a bowl of noodles, I'll come and get three of them later, we'll meet again, it's quite late for supper." He An still had a warm smirk on his face, "Why, I found a car repair craftsman.I couldn't introduce you to this Li Ji Noodle Restaurant, it seems that you have found an old fried dough stick. The noodles here are the best in the neighborhood."

After that, he pulled up the stool and sat down by himself, "So tell me who you are looking for, and I'll help you see if it's really reliable."
