There were rustling footsteps in the grass, and someone came alone to the stream.Rosie turned her head slightly, and saw Deng Huailing brushing aside the weeds and walking to him, sitting casually on the ground with one leg bent, with her elbow resting on her knee, looking left and right, looking for something.

Finally found a slender blade of grass, Deng Huailing skillfully folded it in his hands, and scratched the tip of Rosie's nose like a cat: "Why did you come here? Is it too crowded?"

"A little bit," Rosie let him tease, trying to hold back a sneeze, "I'm dizzy from drinking, and I don't have much to do. Come out and get some air."

"Sorry." Deng Huailing put away the blades of grass, lowered his head and tugged at the stems, and said, "I shouldn't scare away those who want to talk to you, leaving you alone with nothing to do. I just...I don't like you focusing on others, smiling at others, I'm already correcting it, don't be angry."

Rosie was stunned, and then realized that the other party mistakenly thought that his behavior of staying away from the crowd was to vent his anger.He raised his head, looked at Deng Huailing and said with a smile: "What, I didn't take it to heart at all. It's annoying enough to deal with countless officials all day long. It's good to be quiet for a while. But you just came to find me,Does it matter? You are the boss of the group of hunters, and you are indispensable by the campfire."

"It doesn't matter, they are all guys who can get up by themselves after drinking a little wine." Deng Huailing relaxed after observing that he was not angry, and glanced at the fire in the woods, "They just came back from the main city and are on the verge of life and deathIt's been months of rolling and everyone's stressed out. Now it's a release, let them do it."

"What about you? You've been in the main city for two months. How do you feel?" Rosie said considerately, "Do you want to go back and drink with them, recharge yourself or something?"

"The way I recharge is to stay with you." Deng Huailing smiled, rolled down neatly, and lay sideways in the grass beside Rosie, raised his hand to help him brush the broken hair on his cheeks, "let'sYou are more effective than any spirit in the matter of forgetting worries."

"Where did you learn all these love stories? It's a shame that those publishing houses didn't ask you to publish a complete book of love stories." Rosie looked at Deng Huailing helplessly, but joy appeared in her eyes.Pillow on the arm that Deng Huailing stretched out consciously.

The summer evening wind is a little cool, brushing their hair and blowing the blades of grass.The knee-deep grass bowed down to reveal a clear night sky, and the star-studded glow filled the meadow.

Rosie gently closed her eyelashes, and whispered in Deng Huailing's arms, "We haven't gotten along so peacefully for a long time... Every time I meet you, I always feel that time is tight, and I have to hurry up to kiss and go to bed."It’s enough. In fact, it’s good to stay quietly like this.”

"As long as I'm with you, everything is interesting." Deng Huailing slightly raised the corners of his lips, "Do you remember that we said before that we wanted to watch the stars on the ground in District 2? Now this wish has come true."

"Is this the selfishness of your reception on the ground? Do you want to see the stars with me before the battle?" Rosie smiled in the opponent's arms, opened her eyelashes, and looked up at the star-studded sky.Diamond-like stars float and sink in the blue-black Milky Way. Although the ground is changing, the stars remain unchanged. The nearly one hundred years since the establishment of Cesina is but a blink of a finger to them.

"The time for peace is running out. I want to seize the last chance and fulfill a few more wishes. During the few months in the main city, I found out about Robert's family. The bionics in his hands are more than enough to deal with the military., The reason why it took so long to take action is also to prepare for the battle with the second district." Deng Huailing said, "So as long as Robert chooses to attack, the military will not be able to survive the dawn. After the military is settled, we will probably see himThe news of the declaration of war on the second district."

"We have to return to the dungeon before dawn, and it won't be long before this place will be full of drones sent out by the main city for reconnaissance, and the ground will no longer be safe." Rosie said worriedly, "There are still a few hours left, Do you have any other wishes that you want to fulfill? I can accompany you to fulfill them."

"My wish is to look at you like this." Deng Huailing whispered, "Not only for these few hours, but also not only for today, even after the war starts and when the war ends, I also want to watch by your sideYou, that's the only thing I want to do."

"It will definitely come true, I assure you. Isn't there a rumor in Cesina City that Rosie is invincible on the battlefield, and there is no war that I cannot win? Even if it is for you, I have to prove it." Rosie said with a bright voiceLooking at the night sky with firm eyes, a star fell into the bottom of his eyes, blooming with vitality.

He secretly made a wish in his heart—or three wishes: he wanted to win the upcoming war with the least cost; if he had to pay a painful price in exchange for victory, he hoped that he would not die and leave Deng Huailing alone.One person is sad in the world; but if one of them must die, he would rather that person be himself, and he hoped that Deng Huailing could quickly forget him and enjoy the fruits of peace.

Rosie didn't know that Deng Huailing was also looking at the starry sky and making the same pious wish.If there are really legendary gods, I'm afraid they will close their eyes and laugh at them softly, how immature and greedy their wishes are.War is not a domain that any god can control, not even the initiator of the war can control it. It is a bloody vortex, and once it sets foot, it will never return to land.

Thousands of lives are ruined here, neither is it a price nor can it be exchanged. Death is just an inevitable, objective and neutral event. A wisp of blood floating in the whirlpool will disappear without a trace.

Cecina in the rainstorm, under the cover of anti-radiation materials, lightning and thunder among the clouds.

People in the main city were stuck at home, watching the sky outside their windows worriedly.This is the fifty-sixth curfew that Cesina City has implemented in the past three months. People are not allowed to step out of their homes at night, night entertainment venues are also closed, and most of the neon lights in the bustling area are extinguished.Under the heavy rain, only the street lamps on the street were smudged with pale light.

Ever since Rose, a renegade artificial intelligence, destroyed the city center, the city was restored, and the government replaced Rose with a new artificial intelligence "Poseidon", everything has changed.The high-pressure policy is like a haze over the city. As the news of the death of the top military officials continues to spread, the increasing tension seems to be strangling the throats of the citizens with an invisible hand.

The number of bionics patrolling each block has tripled, and the security checks in all public places are extremely strict. If any bionic suspects that a citizen is carrying a prohibited weapon or flammable liquid, he will drag the citizen away from the roadside without any explanation, and hand him over to him.To the police custody.It is not a human judge but an artificial intelligence "Poseidon" who is responsible for convicting these citizens.

Poseidon will judge the suspects with reference to their family background and wealth.hunter.

The blue trident logo can be seen everywhere on the streets and on the outer walls of buildings, which means that the important roads in the city are under the surveillance of Poseidon.The staff of the CyberRose R&D department designed the image of Poseidon's "surface" mode as a stiff and rigid human male, and in the unknown "inside" mode, this AI has the same face as Robert Dylan.

Poseidon was injected with Robert's memory and personality, his eyes were Robert's eyes, and his voice was the words spoken by Robert himself.Like a strict father, he disciplined and controlled the city, uprooting parts that did not meet Robert's wishes.

"Attention all citizens, the city of Cesina is currently under a curfew. Residents are not allowed to step out of their homes, and the homeless are not allowed to cross the boundaries set by the government." The dark blue trident sign turned red after the curfew, the blood-like red light fluctuated in the city, "Anyone who violates the order will be killed..."

Transparent rain flowers rose and fell on the road, and a series of mechanical footsteps slowly passed through the street, splashing water.It was a housekeeping bionic who came out of the beehive, Generation Mary-04, with a bright red trident logo flashing behind her ears, and a similar pattern in her eyes.She limped along the street, keeping up with the ranks of combat androids that patrolled the night.

After her, thousands of domestic androids walked out of the residential area with scarlet eyes.They gathered at the end of the bionic team like a river, and their numbers almost filled the entire street. The sound of their footsteps was uniform, and even the ground trembled when they fell.

The terrified citizens stuck to the windows, watching their androids escape uncontrollably, but they did not dare to open their doors to chase after them, considering the curfew order.

One street, thousands of bionics.Starting from the municipal center, Cesina City extended tens of thousands of streets, densely packed bionics walked silently in the rain, the number reached tens of millions.The number of combat androids produced by CyberRose is only 500,000, but with the addition of housekeeping, security, companionship and even sex, the number of androids is almost equal to that of humans in the city.

In the latest update, CyberRose secretly downloaded combat mods for all androids. Except for the old androids that are about to be phased out, the newly produced androids are more or less compatible with the combat mods.This is Robert's indestructible hole card, an army of bionics that is large enough to suppress the human army.

The tide of bionics rushed towards Cesina's military base. In the torrential rain, they chanted Poseidon's order in a low voice: "Conquer...the military base, kill...the rebels!"

The human army in the base also noticed the approach of the bionic man, and the hunters of Yanling told them before they evacuated that Robert would do it tonight.There are still the last few generals left in the army, all sitting in the command room and waiting in battle. They are the descendants of the old generals who were assassinated by Robert. Now all the hopes of the military can only be bet on these junior high-ranking officers..

From behind the ramparts of the military base, rise several columns of automatic machine guns and artillery.The machine guns fired at the bionics attacking on the road, and the dazzling flames exploded again and again. The bionics in front fell down immediately, but more bionics rushed up stepping on their corpses, their blood-red eyes were indifferent, staring at each other.Staring at the human soldiers behind the line of defense.

Under the cover of the storm, the firepower on both sides poured to the extreme.The cry of the bionic man was deafening:

"Conquer the military base, kill the rebels, kill the rebels!"

Rosie woke up suddenly from her dream, the sound of insects lingered in her ears at night, the surroundings were quiet, and the cool wind was still blowing through the grass.He was wrapped in a hot embrace, with his head resting on Deng Huailing's shoulders and the other's coat under his body. Deng Huailing's powerful heartbeat was close at hand, pulling him back from the boundless dream to reality.

He had just woken up from a dream, and he was holding on to the other person's clothes tightly, panting to calm his disordered breathing.Deng Huailing's lazy voice came from above his head: "Are you awake?"

"Huai Ling, are you still there?" Rosie frantically groped her lover's chest and back, until she confirmed that the person in front of her was not a phantom in a dream, but the real Deng Huailing. The whole portrait was overusedThe spring paralyzed on the opponent, "It's okay, it's okay, you're still..."

"Of course I'm here. You just fell asleep looking at the stars. How could I let you stay here alone." Deng Huailing's voice smiled, and stretched out his fingers to touch the corners of his wet eyes, "What dream did you have?, why are you still crying?"

"I had many, many dreams." Rosie buried her face in the other's chest sullenly, trying to wipe away the tears, "One of them was the dream of you sinking in the river again. I thought you...are not by my side anymore,Almost cried."

"What almost, I just saw you shed tears in your sleep for ten minutes, and I was still hesitating whether to wake you up. But it's not surprising to have the same dream repeatedly. Do you think about it and dream about it every day? I used to oftenDreaming about a bloody Christmas, but it's just a dream, don't take it seriously." Deng Huailing laughed at him, but hugged him tighter and kissed the top of his hair.

"It's not the same," Rosie said, shaking her head. "It's not the same dream, it's different this time. In the previous dream, I remember the river just dipped up to your waist, but this time I saw..."

He reached out his fingertips, touched Deng Huailing's Adam's apple, and said in a hoarse voice, "The river has soaked here."
