Mecha and God

I was restless until we reached the passage the mayor had spoken of.I feel like I've been here before and believe I've had particularly bad experiences here.I was in pain and panic, and I knew something terrible lay ahead.

And not just monsters.

When I stood under the high lintel, the feeling of chilling all over my body became clearer.This one-hundred-step corridor is full of human bones.After a long time, the human bones were scattered in piles and thrown in the corridor in a mess, mixed with the wall.I always feel like there are tiny ashes floating in the air.

"They were not eaten." Dr. Nian glanced at the skull of the corpse, and then looked down, stopping at the neck bone and ribs in turn. "Someone grabbed them by the neck and dragged them out, directly broke the neck bone, then roughly reached into the chest cavity, pulled out their heart, and ensured that they died immediately. The killer with such explosive power is probably only the strange demon The strange demons neither want to eat these people, nor do they want to parasitize them."

"These look like human bones. You said, where are the strange demon sentinels who will come back to life when they are stained with blood?" Long Yin asked the mayor.

The mayor told him to look up.

We all followed his gaze towards the wall.At first I didn't see anything wrong, but after Long Yin shone the light on a small area, I realized that there was a space behind the wall.Those alcove-like spaces are blocked by glass. After a long time, the glass is so dirty that it is impossible to see that there is a doorway behind if you don't look carefully.But the small area illuminated by Long Yin seems to have been wiped by someone's hand, revealing the dark green liquid on the back.

"This is……"

The mayor nodded, "Sentry of Strange Demons."

Nian Xiang dragged out a device capable of jetting out high-speed air from his backpack, and blew violently at the glass, gradually revealing the structure inside.Behind the whole piece of glass are life support cabins isolated into single rooms, just like small lattice windows.I couldn't help approaching those display windows, trying to see through the cloudy nutrient solution to see what was soaking inside. When I really saw clearly, I was so scared that I took a step back and leaned against the wall——

I see myself!

"I" soaked in the nutrient solution suddenly opened his eyes and gave me a weird smile.

I screamed.

"Nuo Nuo! Nuo Nuo! Shush, shush, don't shout... I know you're scared, but it's okay, they're inside, they can't come out."

Long Yin patted my palm, and my eyes focused.

I cried loudly: "There, what is soaked in there is..."

"I know, Strange Demon Sentinel. It's scary, but I will protect you." Long Yin rubbed my face.

I stopped crying, frowned, and looked over his shoulder to the life support compartment.I was the one who was soaking in it a second ago, and now, a strange demon sentry is fully armed to occupy that position, his body shrinks into a skeleton, almost like a fossil, but according to the mayor - a drop of blood can make them wake.

I had a terrible headache, my vision was blurry, and I was half asleep.I don't like this state, it's like I'm sick, and this is the first time in my life that I'm trapped in pain.

Long Yin stood under the shadow of the strange demon sentinel, his face was heavy because of my reaction, "Don't worry about it, keep going, we'll leave this morning."

The mayor agreed with him, but Nian Xiang suddenly said, "No, take one back."

"Are you crazy!"

"After we evacuate safely, the city will be destroyed. The gene bank of strange monsters, including all ancient technologies, will be wiped out. If we want to save something, this is our only chance"

"Save? Save the strange demons? They are predators, and they still carry the plague on their bodies. They will be infected and die!"

"The plague can be cured. Smallpox, flu, sars, we fought many plagues and won the war. And you have also seen the power of the strange demon, we can use him instead of being afraid of him. Take away the living body, Do you know what will happen next? Evolution! Humans can evolve more perfectly! Human history can take a big step forward.”

"But you don't know if there is a cliff in front of you. A single linear view of historical development has long been proven to be naive." Long Yin stopped talking to him, and instead ordered Daedalus, "Daedalus, bring the old man Doctor, let him calm down."

"I'm on the side of Dr. Nian." Carter Julian, who had never had any sense of presence, suddenly raised his gun and held it against Daedalus who was about to move.He said in his usual emotionless voice, "Dr. Nian is right, we need biological samples."

Nian Xiang and Long Yin were very surprised, but Nian Xiang reacted immediately, drew his gun, and pointed at the life treatment cabin.

"No!" Long Yin yelled at Nian Xiang forcefully, "It is definitely not a wise choice to retreat with strange demons. This is like installing a monitor on us! We will be wiped out before we leave, and outside The people don't even know what happened. Before Sha Zuo comes back to his senses, he will be defeated by the strange demon."

Nian Xiang also seemed to vehemently refute Long Yin.I could hear them arguing at first, but the voices receded farther and farther away, and the despair and anguish climbed back into my mind, cast into terrible shadows.My gaze uncontrollably penetrated Long Yin and Nian Xiang, and turned to the life support module.Once again I saw myself soaking in it, and this time the scene was clearer, even the umbilical cord attached to my stomach was clearly visible.I looked around in dismay, and suddenly found: the entire corridor, every life support cabin, is me!

They smiled at me, they blinked their eyes, they raised their hands from the amniotic fluid-like nutrient solution, and compared me to OK.

"You're back," they said. "You shouldn't be here."

I took a step back in fright and leaned against the wall.

So many me... why are there so many me!

Just when I was panicking because of this weird sight, I heard the footsteps of strange demons.

The sound of footsteps so heavy that even falling rocks would crack.

A huge figure appeared outside the door.

They began attacking the hatch.

I wanted to call someone, to tell Long Yin that the strange demon was coming, but I couldn't make any sound.I could only cover my ears and cower in the corner of the wall in fear, watching them break through the last line of defense, watching them file in, silently open the life support cabin, strangle my naked necks that are still connected to the umbilical cord, and drag them out , to kill, to rip out the heart.

My fear was suddenly replaced by sadness.My body was lying in every corner of the corridor, my blood soaked the ground, and my bones turned into flying dust, so that after 2 years, they would not be able to disperse.And those strange demons stepped into the life support cabin shamelessly, and stood in it fully armed, occupying the chance to survive for more than [-] years, until they turned into cold and hard fossils.

I leaned against the wall, a corpse at my feet, the black eyes of the cracked head staring silently at me.I also feel like I've become one of them, left here hopelessly, as time consumes me...

The sun rises and the moon sets, and the stars move.

I cry alone as the time flies by.

After an unknown amount of time, a gentle hand pressed on the top of my head.

"Don't be afraid."

He said.

I rubbed my eyes, looked up, and saw a face identical to mine.

"Are you one of the mass-produced 'I's too?" I said to him.

"That's just a body, Messiah. A system can have many bodies, this one mecha, that one mecha, but there is only one consciousness behind it. The same is true for you. You are too important, so humans have created many bodies for You spare."

"I, I haven't gotten better in my heart... There are so many I used to exist, like an assembly line assembly workshop, and they all died in the end, and only I stayed."

"Actually you are dead too." He smiled softly and let me lie in his arms. "The Queen of Different Demons defeated you. Although you sealed her, she deprived you of your life."

"Really? That...that must have happened 2 years ago. How am I still alive?" I stared blankly at the broken bones under my feet, "I should be with them and become a pile of dry bones... ..."

"Because you still have unfinished missions. You have many doubts in your heart, but you are already very close to the truth." He combed my temple hair carefully. "Since I let you come into this sad world, I will do my best to protect you. No matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, never give up. I have prepared a great destiny for you."

The doubt in my heart was even stronger: "Who are you?"

"I am your father," he said.

"Are you the maker of the Messiah?"

"I didn't create you." He stretched out his palm, and a three-dimensional chromosome model floated on his palm, "I gave you blood."

I had a very empty guess in my heart: "You... who are you? What's your name?"

He smiled: "I have 70 billion names, my son. When I walked on this ground in my last life, they called me Ye Xiao."

As soon as he finished speaking, I heard the sound of glass shattering.

The magic stick disappeared as abruptly as when he came.

In front of me is still a dark corridor, the life support compartment is broken, and a turbid and unpleasant nutrient solution leaks out.Long Yin looked at the smoking barrel in Dr. Nian's hand with astonishment.

But he missed it.

After a long period of corrosion, the transparent material was already extremely fragile and could not withstand gunshots at all. The cracks in the cabin quickly spread to the entire corridor, and the nutrient solution rushed to our feet, submerging the combat boots and dry bones, exposing the extremely shriveled flesh inside. limbs.They looked like they were dead, but I could see a tiny tremor.

"Diewhyyoutry!" Long Yin was furious.

Nian Xiang silently kicked open the nutrition cabin in front of him, put a sack on the monster, tied it with a knot, threw it to the two soldiers, turned and left.
