Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 586: The beginning of darkness

"Is it ready to remove the bandage?"

When Yun Qian was sitting on a sofa asking questions, he leaned forward slightly and wrung his hands together. At such a close distance, the Chief Executive looked even taller; the tough and steady aura on his body seemed to carry an invisible weight, even making people have to hold their breath slightly.

"Well, the doctor said it's almost done." The young man sitting cross-legged on the bed responded. Just as he was about to raise his hand, he was stopped by Yun Qian - "You can't see, let me do it." He said, While standing up, he cut a slit in the bandage on the back of the boy's head.

For such a tough guy, his movements are very delicate; the white bandage loosened up in circles and fell on the bed, gradually revealing the thin scars on the young man's face, crisscrossing his once clean and fair skin. on the cheek.

Yun Qian bent down and took a close look at the young man's cheek for a while. His breath sprayed on the skin, causing the side with necrotic nerves to feel a slight heat - "The color of these scars is much lighter than last time," Yun Qian straightened up, seeming to breathe a sigh of relief. "It seems that your skin will become the same as before before long."

"I'm not a girl, what does it matter whether my skin is good or not?" Ayun laughed, but still reached out and touched half of his face. "I wonder if Yan Qiu's blood stains have faded? That guy is not good-looking to begin with."

"I'll go take a look for you and convey your words to her." Yun Qian made a rare joke and picked up a jar of ointment next to him: "Is this what you want to apply?"

"Yes - Chief Commander, I'm really sorry that you have been asked to take care of our three wounded these days."

"Now that there is an epidemic, everyone is not allowed to go out. Of course I, the only healthy evolver, have to do some work." Even when Yun Qian smiled, his hard facial lines did not show any signs of change. Soften down. He lifted the boy's chin and applied a layer of cool ointment on his face: "...I just hope you can get well soon."

"Thank you, Mr. Commander." Ayun raised his head without daring to move. Because of his excitement, his long eyelashes trembled and cast a shadow.

"Young people recover quickly," Yun Qian took back his hand, tilted his head and glanced at him, "It's done! Don't rub it indiscriminately."

The young man smiled a little shyly, revealing a row of snow-white teeth in the plum red color. However, the nerves on the right side of his face were destroyed, and there was no fluctuation in his expression. Only half of his face looked like a smile, and the other half was calm.

Yun Qian's eyes stayed on his face for a few seconds, nodded, turned and walked towards the door.

Just when the chief executive was about to leave, the young man suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked: "Mr. chief officer, is there any news about the evolvers who left the city?"

"An evolver has returned this morning." Yun Qian stopped half-opening the door and turned around to say.

The young man was taken aback and his eyes immediately lit up: "Great! Who is it and how is it?"

The chief executive frowned his two sword-like eyebrows: "I really have no impression of him. I have to go back and check the roster. He was seriously injured and fell asleep as soon as he came back. I don't know for the time being. Did he get the information...but no matter what, it's good that he can come back alive."

Speaking of this, Yun Qian pursed his lips, paused and then said: "If too many evolvers are damaged because of this task, I will be the sinner of Nine Cities."

Seeing that the chief executive finished speaking and turned around to go out, Lin Sanjiu glanced at the sunset and exhaled - it seemed that today was another fruitless day. In the orange-red sunset light, she quietly climbed back to the attic along the outer wall. She also felt that she was about to transition from a peeping tom to a pervert. It was okay that no one noticed it at the moment, but once someone noticed, She didn't even have a valid reason to explain her behavior.

As long as the puppet master is sane, Yun Shou Jiucheng will be a relatively complete and normally functioning world. Maybe it was because the information he learned afterwards was filled in his memory in disguise? Lin Sanjiu thought drowsily while feeling sleepy and tired.

Since entering the territory of the data body, she has not closed her eyes - when she thinks of the data body observing her in the dark, she does not dare to let her consciousness become blurred.

It was fine before, but in Yunshou Jiucheng, watching the sunrise and sunset every day, even her biological clock was assimilated. Both physically and mentally, she felt as if she had passed the time. One month. Even an evolutionist couldn't bear to cook it slowly like this - Lin Sanjiu pinched herself hard, and even suspected that this was the purpose of the data body: maybe they just wanted to make themselves sleepy and lose all resistance?

The slight pain on the skin didn't even have any effect. After she sat down in the attic, the raging sleepiness finally revealed its power: Lin Sanjiu felt that her head was getting more and more dizzy, her eyelids were glued together, and every time she opened them again, it seemed as if she had exhausted all her energy. All the strength was exerted. Sleep actually released such a sweet temptation, making her just want to give up and forget about anything else, not caring about the puppet master...

I don’t know how long she struggled, but just as Lin Sanjiu slowly closed her eyes, a series of loud footsteps quickly approached from below, and there was a loud thud on the wooden floor with an echo. She was so startled that she woke up. When she listened carefully, she realized that there was more than one person coming, and the destination seemed to be the attic. Lin Sanjiu stood up in a hurry, looked around, and quickly jumped out of the window.

The outer wall of the Governor's Mansion was flat, with almost no room for strength; she grabbed a handful of hanging green leaves with one hand and stepped on the edge of the window on the next floor to steady herself.

There was a "squeak", which sounded like the door embedded in the attic floor was pushed open.

"Sir, sir," the first voice that sounded was Ayun's voice, "can I just put it here first?"

Did I fall asleep just now and a long time passed unknowingly? Lin Sanjiu was startled, feeling as if the puppet master's memory flow was getting faster and faster recently; she quickly adjusted her angle slowly, moved herself under the attic window, and looked inside.

Although the attic of the Governor's Mansion was already very spacious, when Yun Qian walked in, it suddenly seemed narrower, as if it could not accommodate this steady and tall executive general; his back was to Lin After three drinks, the twilight shone in from the other side of the window, and people could only see his dark back.

Countless fine dust floated in the air, and together they were dyed into floating golden-red particles by an egg-yolk-like sunset. The young man named Ayun held something like an iron box in his hands, which seemed to be so heavy that even he felt it was difficult. He gasped and put the thing on the floor with a thud, which suddenly stirred up another layer of floating dust. , he suddenly choked and coughed, and a blush appeared on his face.

Yun Qian patted his back, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just that the right side of my body is not very flexible yet."

Yun Qian squatted down in front of the iron box and spoke softly, as if he was afraid of scaring it. He slowly stroked the surface of the box and said in an almost whispering tone: "Yes, that's it... that's it. I, I've been looking for it for a long time, but I still failed... Unexpectedly, I never expected that one day I can actually see it again..."

"Chief Commander, thanks to your persistence at that time, and thanks to Brother Gong for risking his life to bring it back." The young man also squatted down and showed a half-bright smile to Yun Qian. . He turned to look at the iron box, with a hint of surprise in his tone: "But... can such an ordinary iron box really be used?"

Yun Qian slowly stretched out his hand, his fingers trembling constantly. He swallowed and seemed to have finally calmed down: "Of course, I just started it."

"Already-?" The young man was suddenly surprised again. He looked at the box carefully for a while, but saw nothing. "There's not even a sound... I always thought that the artificial intelligence command station should look very high-tech. At least it has to have a screen, right?"

Yun Qian glanced at him and smiled softly: "Yes, it has everything."

But he didn't wait for Ayun to ask again, and suddenly stood up and strode towards the attic stairs: "Let's go - the time is not right now."

The young man was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to ask, he saw that Yun Qian had already gone downstairs; he hurriedly followed, and the sound of their footsteps was farther away again.

Lin Sanjiu re-entered the attic. After thinking for a while, he did not look at the box, but followed him downstairs quietly - this was just a world copied from the puppet master's memory. It is impossible to completely restore things that you don't understand; even if she went up to look at them, she would probably only be confused.

It’s just that she originally thought that things were about to take a turn due to the arrival of the iron box; but in the next half day, there was nothing surprising at all. The chief executive went to see Brother Gong, who had been injured and had made meritorious service, and talked with him until late at night; at the same time, Lin Sanjiu followed the young man Ayun, watching him do rehabilitation for a while, and read a book She read a book, washed up and went to bed after dinner - not only was it boring, but it also made her feel even more like a pervert.

A silver moon slowly hung in the dark night sky. After the young man Ayun fell asleep, Lin Sanjiu quietly returned to the attic. She didn't know if she could survive the night - she was too sleepy and tired.

Only in the dead of night, she could hear the iron box in front of her constantly making a very light "buzzing" sound, as if there was some movement running inside. When facing this kind of technology that he had never seen before, Lin Sanjiu felt like an ancient person who saw a TV. He walked around it and still didn't understand how this thing could become an artificial intelligence commander. stand.

Just when she sat down on the floor again out of boredom, there was a slight sound of the door hinge turning, which immediately tensed her nerves.

The sound was so fleeting that she almost thought she had heard it wrong. Lin Sanjiu waited patiently for a while, until she caught a footstep that was so subtle that it seemed as if it didn't exist. Then she jumped up, threw herself downstairs, and rushed over following the sound.

...The dream seems to be entangled with the night, so heavy that it is difficult to distinguish one from the other. Turning over in his chaotic and entangled sleep, Ayun vaguely heard his own breathing, which was echoing steadily and long in the dark night. The right side of his face still seemed to be covered with a layer of biting ants, and his skin was numb and painful; then, something warm gently landed on his right side of his face and stroked it slowly.

Ayun dreamed of the chief executive's hand, slowly sliding over the iron box-like command post.

A hand also fell on his face, and he realized this in his daze.

This thought passed through him like an electric shock. As soon as he opened his eyes, his breathing suddenly stagnated - at some point, a tall black figure was standing in front of the bed.

"Who?" The boy was about to step back as soon as he propped himself up on the bed, his voice still filled with the nasal sound of someone just waking up; however, before he could move, the hand on his face turned like lightning and pinched his throat.

"Don't move." The dark figure said softly, and every word carried the weight of a high-ranking person, as if it could make people hold their breath to listen.

Ayun was stunned, and for a moment his body seemed to lose control.

"I have been to Yunshou Nine Cities several times before, during my inspection tour." Perhaps because of the darkness, the familiar voice sounded a little different, dark and hoarse. "Even with artificial intelligence, Ninetowns has developed itself into a slum... In the eyes of others, there is no value in inspection at all. However, I disagree, I have very good memories here. The more The better I can find what I want in a poor and chaotic place."

The young man listened motionless in the darkness, feeling that the big hand on his throat slowly let go a little, but gently held his neck without taking it away. The other person's body temperature was like a snake, feeling cool against Ayun's warm skin.

"After the fall of a city, there are fewer and fewer humans around me. As soon as I show my head, the only things I see are artificial intelligences - even though they are humanoid, they are different." The voice grew louder and louder. He came lower and lower, as if he was about to disappear into the darkness, but there was a frightening undercurrent: "Oh... people. I can promise you, there is no one who loves people more than me." It’s human...Ayun."

"General, Chief, you..."

"Shh." Yun Qian suddenly lowered his head and whispered in his ear softly, "I don't need you to speak, and I don't need you to take any action. Ayun, listen up, artificial intelligence command station, We have started working a long time ago...AI has taken over all the defense and weapon systems of this city. To be honest, I am a little surprised that it took over this city so smoothly."

The intense beating of the boy's heart could be heard far away in the night.

The cool hand gently stroked his Adam's apple and went around the back of his neck. Touching the goose bumps that suddenly aroused in the young man, Yun Qian smiled softly and said: "Are you sixteen this year... or seventeen? Your Adam's apple is not big, like a girl... Your evolutionary ability can only control people. Right?"

His hand was also like a snake, but it suddenly stopped.

In the thick darkness, the young man's low sobs sounded intermittently.

"What, are you scared?"

Ayun gasped for air, and his vision, which was originally covered by the night, became even more blurred because of tears. He hated himself for crying, but he couldn't stop the waves of fear and confusion in his heart that seemed to be about to swallow him up - he wanted to vomit and cry at the same time. The young man said hoarsely: "I, I... let's take the risk to save him." I killed you..."

"Yes, I'm grateful for that."

"Then why did you——"

"You don't want Nine Cities, okay? If you want it to be good ~IndoMTL.com~ you have to pay a price." Yun Qian's voice was still so light, "I can make Nine Cities into something similar to the Golden Century. Same...with AI, you know I'm not lying."

The young man turned his body sideways and punched the black figure in front of him; Yun Qian caught his punch and smiled lowly: "Didn't I say it? I don't need you to move."

"Fuck you!" When Ayun was about to jump up again, a hand was suddenly pressed on his shoulder. All the strength in his body immediately flowed away from the place where the hand was holding him like water from his mouth, and disappeared completely in the blink of an eye - his limbs immediately softened, and the young man could not help but feel at ease for a moment. My body can't hold it up anymore.

He was so anxious that he broke into a cold sweat, and tears kept rolling down his cheeks. His stomach seemed to tighten and shrink to the size of a pinhead - but no matter how hard he struggled, it was still useless.

"Making the people obey is the power of the commander-in-chief."

The shadow smiled slowly, "Since I activated the command post, twenty law enforcers, seventy engineering AIs, and fifteen mobile weapon mother stations responded to my orders this afternoon... Just now, the first batch has arrived."

This did not reduce Ayun's resistance. It was his next words that made the young man suddenly stop moving.

"Your two friends are now sleeping soundly under the eyes of the law enforcers."
