monster he just wants to be a good guy

“neon”

Lu Man stuck the crab claws on the mouth of the bottle, exerted a little force, and finally pulled out the cork.The cork discarded aside was not squeezed by the bottle wall, and the volume of the entire cork expanded several times.

He held up the inner bottle, at the same level as his eyes, and stared at the crystal blood beads inside carefully. After careful observation, the color of the blood beads was not uniform, one side was darker and the other was reddish, it looked like two kinds of blood mixed together Together, form distinct layers.

Lu Man poured the drop of blood into his palm, and exchanged a glance with Lu Man.

"I'm red and you black?"

Lu Huan nodded, stretched out his fingertips to lightly touch the darker side, and put the stained blood in his mouth.

"How does it feel?" Lu Man observed him curiously.

"Hot." Lu Man's cheeks flushed slightly.

It seems that the dark side is some kind of monster blood. After Lu Slow ingested the monster blood, his appearance did not change, probably because the amount was too small.

Lu Man dipped the red side and put it in his mouth, a faint smell of blood spread throughout his mouth.

Lu Man, who was in front of him, looked at Lu Man, with a rare expression of panic on his face, which was always as if he hadn't woken up.

"What's the matter?" Lu Man tilted his head in confusion, reached out to touch his face, the bridge of the nose, lips, eyes, and all the organs that should be there. Why is Lu Man so surprised and speechless?

Lu Man walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at his reflection in the water.

The surface of the water was not calm, and the shadow reflected by the swaying waves also appeared fragmented, but Lu Man still pieced together his own appearance from it.

He also widened his eyes in disbelief, stroking his cheeks with trembling hands, and only then did he feel the difference in details - the slack cortex of the cheeks, the high cheekbones, the wrinkles on the forehead and the fine lines at the corners of the eyes are all very tactile. obvious.

What is reflected on the surface of the water is not the face of a young man between youthful and mature, but the face of a middle-aged uncle who is slightly thin and vicissitudes.

"Uncle Lu?"

Lu Man muttered to himself in confusion.

what happened?Why did he suddenly look like Uncle Lu?

After staring blankly at the swaying water surface for a while, Lu Chuan's face slowly faded away, and Lu Man's face floated up again.

"Maybe this is the ability that the monkey monster brought to the master?" After being reminded by Xiao Ai, Lu Man finally came to his senses.

It turns out that the monkey monster's face-changing ability doesn't need to eat a person, but just a little blood or flesh from the other person?

Lu Man recalled the almost natural human face on the monster's face he saw in the Aurora Base, and a thought flashed through his mind—maybe the amount of intake can determine the time to change the face?

Devouring people like monsters, the face is permanently embedded in them.But simply sipping a drop of blood like Lu Man can only last for a short 2 minutes.

So, this bottle is indeed carried by Uncle Lu.Perhaps when he was collecting monster blood, he inadvertently mixed it with his own blood.Or, he was injured.

Could it be that Uncle Lu was swallowed by that huge fish?

Lu Man handed the bottle back to Lu Man, and said to him, "Little Man, stay on the shore and wait for my signal."

Lu Man nodded obediently, and when Lu Man was about to turn around to leave, he asked him, "Where are you going?"

Lu Man stood on the shore, turned his head sideways, his black eyelashes cast shadows like crow feathers.

The suppressed gloom flashed across his brows, and Lu Man blinked, revealing a relieved smile.

"I'll take a look inside the monster's stomach, you wait here, if all goes well, I'll be back soon."

He jumped in without a splash as he fell into the water.

"Go quickly, come back quickly." After Lu Man disappeared under the water, Lu Manan's exhortation sounded belatedly.

Lu Man turned into an octopus again, with a streamlined body, cutting through the water gracefully and quickly.He looked left and right in the water, looking for the strange white-bellied and black-spotted fish that he had glimpsed before. While emitting ultrasonic waves for positioning, he also activated the heat source sensing system that hadn't been used for a long time.

Soon, he located the corresponding target. The huge and conspicuous fish was sucking in a big mouthful of water in the distance. Except for some relatively small strange fish and shrimps, it was deposited in the abyss. The mud and dirt on the bottom, human bones, clothes fragments, personal belongings, gun parts, etc. were also sucked in by it.

"Do you think this monster would like to eat octopus?"

"Report to the owner, this monster should be a mutant of a baleen whale. Normally, the esophagus of a baleen whale can only accommodate small fish and shrimps, but the esophagus of the mutated whale monster should be enlarged. For a delicious octopus like you, the monster should I like to eat."

When Lu Man heard this, he was gearing up to throw himself into the trap.

But before he got close, a stream of muddy water spewed out from the mouth of the strange whale.

It turned out that it didn't swallow everything in one go, but spit it out selectively.Originally all kinds of garbage and stones were fine when they went in, but they were ground into silt-like debris when they came out, and were excreted together with the water.

Is there a stone mill in the mouth of this monster?

"According to Xiaoai's guess, the thick hair used to filter food in the mouth of the baleen whale may also have some kind of abnormality. Please strengthen the body surface protection."

Hearing that Lu Man put a hard turtle shell on top of the soft skin of the octopus, he slowly swam over.

The monster whale started a new round of puffing and puffing. It opened its mouth wide, and Lu Man could almost see its entire mouth structure. As Xiao Ai said, the monster whale's upper and lower jaws were covered with hair. It didn't look soft, but looked like It was as hard as steel and shone with a cold light.

As the monster's mouth closed, Lu Man's world gradually fell into darkness.He could feel himself being pushed in by the water, and the hard bristles squeezed against his side. With the protection of the turtle shell, Lu Man didn't feel much. He followed the fish and shrimps that were swallowed smoothly, The line poured into the narrow and lengthy esophagus of the whale.

The process from the esophagus to the stomach was very slow, and Lu Man gradually lost his patience in waiting.

He decided to jump in line, stretched out his tentacles to push away the lifeless bones or the small monsters that were still struggling, and squeezed forward little by little, eager to get into his stomach.

After a while, the eyes suddenly opened up.

Lu Man finally managed to reach the exit of the esophagus. He fell headlong and fell into an empty place.

At this time, the stomach pouch was very dry, not full of corrosive mucus as Lu Man imagined.

It was dark all around, but Lu Man's night vision ability was very strong, and everything around him was very clear in front of his eyes.

Compared with the stomach, this is more like a "hall" filled with all kinds of garbage, all kinds of things piled up into hills - ordinary fish and shrimps that have lost their water and are dying, they are swallowed into the stomach of monsters and you will fight with each other The crab monsters and snail monsters, the skeletons that belong to human beings... There are "new members" slipping into this big family from the esophagus one after another.

Lu Man didn't pay too much attention to why there was no gastric juice here. He turned into a wolf, showed his sharp claws, and started digging through the huge garbage dump.

The monsters over there were still immersed in eating and devouring each other, firmly blocking Lu Man's way of rummaging.

"Stop fighting, peace is the most important thing."

Lu Man, who was hindered from finding the progress, raised his fist with a smile.

On the way, the fish and shrimp who were already on the verge of death were tossed and burped on the spot. The monsters who hit me and hit you earlier also reached an agreement, huddled together shivering, and hugged each other to keep warm.

Lu Man searched around and turned the entire garbage dump upside down, but he didn't even see a trace. He scanned the messy stomach bag, and the smile on his face faded into a deadpan expression. .

Suddenly, the stomach wall under the feet trembled violently, like an earthquake, and the snail retracted into its shell and rolled from left to right.

The surrounding stomach wall began to shrink inward, and granulation sprouted continuously to grind all the food.As the stomach pouch squeezed, a new hole appeared.

"Xiao Ai, do you know where that hole leads to?"

"A whale may have three or four stomachs. The place where the owner is is the first stomach of the whale, which is used to crush and grind food for the second time. The opening over there should lead to the second—"

Before Xiao Ai finished speaking, Lu Man charged forward and got into the hole first.

Everything behind him was turbulent in the crushing tremor, turning into crumbs and powder, and followed Lu Man to the next stomach.

As soon as he stepped out of the cave, a strange smell came over his face. Lu Man subconsciously spread his wings and soared into the air.

Sure enough, his instinct was right.

The food crumbs following him could not brake like Lu Man, and fell into the gastric juice deposited below one by one, making a sizzling sound under the corrosion.

Half of the crab shell floated on the water, and in the thick, bubbling highly corrosive gastric juice, there were also all kinds of food residues that were crushed and about to be melted.

Of course, there are also some living creatures, such as the snail monster, which struggled and floated in the gastric juice. Fortunately, it touched the nearest stomach wall before it corroded, adsorbed on it, and slowly released itself from the shackles of gastric acid. break free.

The height of this stomach is limited, and acidic mucus is constantly pouring down like rain from above.Lu Man had to fly carefully, he avoided the acid and patrolled around above.

Looking at all kinds of creatures that were crushed into pieces in the first stomach and melted and sunk in the second acid-filled stomach, Lu Man felt a little cold in his heart.

It is impossible for Uncle Lu to be swallowed by a monster.He's so smart, so good at escaping...

Suddenly, he noticed with sharp eyes that there seemed to be something shining faintly in the darkness in a corner near the wall.

When Lu Man got a little closer and took a closer look, there seemed to be someone over there...?

The man's upper body was out of the water, while the lower part was soaked in gastric juice, and he was holding his stomach wall tightly with his hands to prevent himself from sinking deeper.The exposed skin is bare and hairless, the body and head are sharp-edged, and the whole body is glowing with an iron-blue metallic luster.It was the first time Lu Man had seen a person with such weird skin color and appearance.

The top of the strange man's head was flickering lightly.There seems to be a certain rhythm in the flickering of light, and this is the third time Lu Man has seen this rhythm.

Three short, three long, three short.

That was his call for help from the outside world.

Lu Man hesitated for two seconds, but chose to fly over. He cautiously kept a distance, and asked, "Hi, can you hear me?"

When the other party heard the sound, the light was temporarily interrupted for a moment, and then a strange sound sounded. Lu Man had heard it before, and it was somewhat similar to the disordered current sound from the communicator.

"Zi... Zi... Dian..."

"What did you say?"

"Electricity..." The other party's voice was so hoarse that it seemed unbelievable, Lu Man turned his ear to listen carefully.

"Electrical what?"

"I need...batteries...zi..."

Battery?Lu Man knew that the battery was a piece of stuff that was put into a flashlight, but this man seemed to be struggling to speak, what do you need the battery for?

"Master! This is a robot!" Xiao Ai shouted excitedly in Lu Man's head, almost scaring him.

"Robot?" It's a brand-new term again. Is it a monster combined with a machine and a human?

Ignoring Lu Man who was full of doubts, Xiao Ai murmured in his mind: "It looks like the oldest housekeeping robot, and the serial number is even higher than FH70. It should have been eliminated by the market long ago. There is also a lack of specific performance records in the database...Master, please ask him for me, whether it can accept biological blood for power supply or salt decomposition for power generation?"

"I don't have a battery here, can you generate electricity through biological blood or salt decomposition?"

"Electric... Zizi..."

Just when Lu Man thought it didn't hear, its sky cover suddenly flipped open, which startled Lu Man again.

"Why is its head blooming!"

"Master, there is its power storage area, go and have a look."

"Xiao Ai, why are you so sure that it is not aggressive?"

"Because it's a robot, a robot must not harm a human being."

Lu Man's eyes lingered on the robot for a moment, then flew over.

When he took a closer look, the "Tianling Cap" he thought was actually a piece of iron.Lifting the lid off reveals the intricate wiring and battery storage area inside.

"You two... fellow countrymen?"

"Reporting to the master, although we are not products of the same production line, we may come from the same city. According to the concept of human beings, we can be regarded as "fellows". "

"Oh! It needs the 07-size three-ring compressed battery, which we don't have here."

In this regard, Lu Man is just a country boy who knows nothing. He looked at the complicated wires inside and asked, "Then is there any other way to charge it?"

"Report to the owner, I saw that there is a biological blood power supply interface in its circuit, and a thin transparent line is connected to the top."

Following Xiao Ai's instructions, Lu Man pulled out the thread. The so-called transparent thin thread at the top was much smaller than a hair, and it was almost hard to see with the naked eye.If it weren't for Lu Man's exceptionally good eyesight, he almost didn't find it.

"The emergency measure that most robots will take when they lack energy is to embed fibers in the blood vessels of the skin to obtain energy from the flowing blood. This is also the most primitive means of energy supply besides batteries."

"Of course, if the fiber port is buried in the blood vessel without sterilization, there may be a risk of bacterial infection. But the owner may not have to worry about this problem."

"You mean I'm in good shape?"

"Not only, because I have tried it on you."

Lu Man raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"You inserted a tube into me?"

Until now, he has a relatively full understanding of the fact that Xiao Ai is actually a technological product.

"Master, my blood-powered fiber is more advanced than its own. It only needs to be close to the surface of the skin and sense the biological current in the body after being bound by blood."

"You avoided my question. To be honest, have you intervened?"

"Well, at the beginning when I didn't recover enough energy to provide better service for the owner, I plugged it in a little bit, just two or three days...Master, Xiaoai's fibers were sterilized at that time, and as a new smart housekeeper, it was also set up. Self-cleaning function, Xiaoai is very clean and free of bacteria!"

"Okay, then I know."

Perhaps, this robot has seen and known some news about Uncle Lu, so he will try it anyway.

Lu Man buried the fiber into his arm, and felt no pain or itching.

"Why hasn't it moved yet?" After a while, the robot was still motionless as if dead, Lu Man asked.

"The energy supply speed of the biological blood will be relatively slow, and you may need to wait patiently for a few more minutes."

"Xiao Ai, you said before that you might be from the same city, but I haven't asked you yet, where is that?"

It was the first time that Lu Man clearly realized that there were other cities besides the besieged city.

“neon”

"Say something I understand."

"Hongdu."

Just as they were talking in their minds, the light that had been faint and nearly extinguished on the head of the robot in front of them suddenly brightened.
