After half a year and dozens of treatments, Yuan Chu and Li Xi's bodies not only recovered as before, but were also healthier than before.

The therapeutic device developed by Yuan Chu and her laboratory was released to the world soon after and was officially put into production the following year. Unsurprisingly, it caused a huge response, benefiting many helpless patients and creating a new world for Li Xi. made a huge fortune.

The three brothers and sisters of the Li family were waiting for Mr. Li and Li Xi to die. As a result, not only did they not die, but they lived more and more prosperously. Grandpa Li did not die until he was a hundred years old. By that time, Li Wenhong had already died of illness, and Li Wenyi also died in a car accident when he was fifty.

Yuanchu and Li Xi sent Grandpa Li away together, and then adopted two children from the orphanage and raised them carefully. When they grew up, they handed over all the family property to them. The two packed their luggage and traveled around.

They traveled around the world, saw all the scenery, and lived a happy life.

After Li Xi's death, Yuan Chu left this small world with luck and the power of faith.

The luck in this world is not as strong as the previous world, but it makes Yuanchu feel very familiar, and he always feels that the two sons of luck may be the same person. Being in a small world, she cannot break the spatial barrier and peek into another world.

At first I didn't know why I cared about this issue, I just had a secret expectation. The connection established between her and the Son of Destiny may have created some kind of pull, allowing them to keep meeting each other in the world.

Her consciousness wandered for a long time, and before Tiandao found her, Yuanchu plunged into the new world again.

Xinlan is a small border town located in the northwest of Carlo Kingdom. It is located in a remote area and has a sparse population. Although it is not as prosperous as a big city, it is far away from the hustle and bustle, the scenery is magnificent, and it has a unique style. The local residents are warm and simple, but also quite tough. Because it is close to the Iron Ruins and there are many mutated mechanical beasts, most of the men, women, and children in Xinlan have learned some fighting skills.

Not long ago, a manor in the suburbs of Newland welcomed its new owner. It was a handsome 24-year-old young man named "Fei Xiu". He had blond hair, blue eyes, a strong figure, and a very outstanding appearance. He just came to Newland. At that time, it attracted the attention of many local young girls. Later I heard that he was a former soldier. Because he was seriously injured, he was forced to retire and was entitled to third-level military disability treatment. This kind of treatment is very high, with high monthly subsidies, free transportation, free use of public facilities, etc., but in any case, it is not as good as a healthy body.

Fei Xiu became famous at a young age. He showed amazing talent and strong mental strength since he was a child. He joined the army at the age of eighteen and received the Soldier Medal at the age of nineteen. In the next four years, he won many military exploits and is expected to become the youngest major general in the history of Carlo Kingdom.

However, during a sneak attack, the team he led was ambushed by the enemy. There were more than a hundred soldiers, but only a dozen survived in the end. Fei Xiu was also seriously injured. Even if he was cured, he could no longer perform high-intensity exercise. His mental strength was also reduced from S level to B level.

Fei Xiu was young, energetic and arrogant, which offended many people. Young people of his generation either admired him or were jealous of him. After he retired, I don't know how many people felt sorry for him, and how many people applauded him.

Fei Xiu used to be a young hero with outstanding achievements, and he was qualified to look down on all young heroes who were not as good as him. But now he has a third-level disability and his combat effectiveness is not as good as that of an ordinary soldier. No matter how high you stand, it will hurt when you fall.

After learning about his physical condition, Fei Xiu could not accept the reality. The sympathy, disappointment, regret, ridicule, and sarcasm of others made him unbearable. He is a born warrior who knows nothing but fighting. Forced to leave the battlefield, he doesn't know what to do in the future. So after being discharged from the hospital, he resolutely left the main city and came to his mother's former hometown. He refused to communicate with the outside world, hid in an uninhabited corner, and licked his wounds alone.

He was the only one in the old manor.

In the evening, Fei Xiu ate some compressed food, then lay on the roof and stared at the sky absentmindedly.

The sky gradually darkened and the earth fell into darkness. The streets in the city lit up with lights, twinkling like a bright star river, in sharp contrast to the dark and deep suburbs.

After an unknown amount of time, Fei Xiu sat up and was about to go back to his room to sleep when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a few faint lights flickering in the darkness in the distance.

It was the only way to get to the Iron Ruins. It had long been abandoned and was full of metal garbage. It was rarely visited by people.

Fei Xiu's vigilance, tempered by years of fighting, prevented him from ignoring that suspicious light. He flashed his body and quickly lurked in that direction.

Night was the best cover. Fei Xiu cautiously approached the target and hid himself in the garbage. Looking closely, he saw a figure more than one meter tall moving slowly in the garbage a few dozen meters away, making creaking sounds. sound.

At first glance, Fei Xiu thought he was a child at that height, but he turned out to be a... robot.

This robot should be a life assistant robot produced many years ago. The shell is damaged, many circuits are exposed, and a mechanical arm is missing. The energy indicator light is flashing. It is hard to believe that it can still operate.

Fei Xiu said nothing and secretly observed this strange robot.

The country of Carlo is technologically advanced and has produced many machine creatures to assist human beings in their work. Decades ago, a mad scientist inserted a virus into the brain, giving some mechanical creatures self-awareness, thus triggering a large-scale mechanical riot. Humans and mechanical creatures fought for five or six years. years of fighting. As the virus continues to spread and mutate, the development of mechanical organisms has become irreversible. In the end, mankind paid a heavy price before barely controlling the situation. However, as long as people come and need the Internet, brains, and technology, mechanical creatures will not become extinct.

The only good thing is that not all mechanical creatures are enemies of humans. Only those mechanical creatures that are infected by viruses and have mutated cores will attack humans. Human beings are constantly improving their firewalls, constantly monitoring and scanning for dangerous viruses, and preventing them from invading in large numbers. Although the emergence of mutated viruses poses a threat to human society, it also promotes the rapid progress of human network technology.

Later, humans strictly classified various mechanical creatures, and only the military could use combat-type mechanical creatures. Ordinary families can only use assistant robots, which cannot be connected to the Internet casually, and only basic auxiliary functions are retained.

The steel ruins a hundred miles away from Xinlan are the remnants of that war, and there are still many mutated mechanical beasts inside. The Carlo Kingdom is currently at war with Cramon and has no spare time to clean up these steel ruins. It can only rely on the local defenders to deal with it themselves.

Xinlan is relatively poor, with only a few hundred defenders, and there are at least tens of thousands of mutated mechanical beasts in the steel ruins, and they will come out to snatch resources every once in a while. If it weren't for the fact that it was limited by materials and energy and couldn't make powerful weapons, Xinlan might have been unable to survive.

Fei Xiu hid in the dark and watched quietly, not knowing what the robot was looking for in the garbage. This model cannot actively connect to the Internet or fight, and the possibility of being infected or embedded with viruses is very small. It cannot start on its own if no one gives the order.

Fei Xiu glanced around vigilantly to make sure no one was controlling him, and couldn't help but feel doubtful. What's going on with this robot? Is it possible for a half-disabled old-fashioned assistant robot to mutate

While Fei Xiu was thinking, the robot had dug out a lot of spare parts from the garbage, then waved its only remaining mechanical arm and began to repair its body.

Fei Xiu: "???"

He could hardly believe his eyes. An assistant robot could only perform simple fault scanning and had no self-repair function at all!

But what does he see now? This robot took off the metal shell on its chest, replaced the aging parts, and even repaired its appearance.

Fei Xiu had some doubts about whether the machine in front of him was a mutated mechanical beast wearing the shell of an assistant robot.

After observing for two hours, the robot repaired 5% of its body, then moved bumpily towards the north, stopped at a place where many large garbage were placed, curled up, and the indicator lights of its eyes went out, as if It looks like a dead machine and blends in with the surrounding environment.

Fei Xiu stood not far away and looked at it for a long time. In the end, he did not get closer to check, but turned and left.

The next night, he came to the ruins again, and as expected saw the robot running out to rummage through metal waste to repair its body.

Day after day, never interrupted, although progress was slow, never gave up. Sometimes I work all night and still can't find the right spare parts. Sometimes the accessories don’t fit, so you have to try again and again.

It was obviously just a robot, but Fei Xiu saw a kind of perseverance in it, a kind of perseverance.

Ten days later, Xinlan ushered in a heavy rain. Fei Xiu stood in the room, looking at the heavy rain outside the window, thinking that the robot would not appear tonight.

In the hazy rain and fog, a spot of light flashed away.

Fei Xiu was stunned, took out his telescope, and pointed it at the spot of light.

Sure enough, it's that robot again!

It's raining so hard, what's it doing out there? Just because its tattered body is not waterproof at all! Does it want to be completely scrapped

Fei Xiu held his breath in his chest, hesitated for a moment, then cursed lowly, put on his raincoat, and strode into the rain.

When I got closer, I heard some strange noises. With Fei Xiu's hearing and experience, he quickly determined that it was the sound of fighting.

fighting

Who is too idle to fight with a broken assistant robot on this rainy night

As soon as Fei Xiu poked his head out, he saw the robot being knocked into the garbage pile, and what hit it was a canine mutant mechanical beast. Although his body is thin, his movements are agile. Compared with it, that robot is a bit miserable.

The mechanical dog rushed towards the robot like a hungry dog, aiming at its head and about to bite it. At the critical moment, the robot grabbed a metal plate and slapped the mechanical dog aside, and its only remaining mechanical arm detached from the body.

Fei Xiu: "..."

Looking at the robot that had lost its arms and looked like a metal pillar, Fei Xiu felt that it would definitely end now.
