Chapter 64
Lower area, mechanical settlement.
Nashida strolled on the cold land.
Next to her, a girl named Clara was moving with her.
She was not very old. When she saw herself surrounded by a bunch of small robots in the settlement, she rushed up and drove the group of small robots away.
Next to Clara, there was a robot named [Swarro].
From some of Swarro's actions towards Clara, it is not difficult to see that this big robot has some special feelings for this girl.
Now Swarro may not be considered an ordinary robot, but a mechanical life form.
In the chat with Clara and Swarro's supplement, Nashida knew the situation of this world, and also knew the situation of Clara and the lower area.
The cold wave came, built a city to protect it, Beloberg, the great guardian, the earth marrow provides heating, and the lower layer is blocked.
The lower area is still in a blockade.
"So, sister Nashida, are you also from outside the world?" Clara asked.
Originally, Clara thought Nashida was a child in her teens like her, but after she said that she was 500 years old, she changed her name for Nashida.
"Do travelers from outside the world often come to this place?" Nashida stopped and looked up at the sky.
The dark steel is the sky that people in the lower area can see.
In the past, people in the lower area could use the cable car to go up and see the same blue sky, but since an order from the Great Guardian more than ten years ago, the cable car to the upper level has been blocked.
Since then, there has only been communication between the upper and lower levels, such as the earth's marrow and material supplies.
"No, no,"
Clara shook her head and explained: "Some time ago, a clean and tidy big brother came to the settlement. His name is Baiyu, and he claims to be from outside the world."
"Big brother Baiyu is a good man. He gave Clara a job he didn't know what to do, and also let Clara go to another place..."
A smile appeared on her face, and her tone was full of longing, "That place is called [Earth], with a blue sky, clear lakes, warm fireplaces and endless food, just like a dream..."
"Oh, right!"
As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, took out a piece of candy from her clothes pocket and handed it to Nashida.
"Sister Nashida, this candy is for you, it's delicious."
"Thank you."
Nashida took the candy, peeled off the sugar coating and put it in her mouth.
The sweet feeling bloomed on the tip of the tongue, and a sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously.
She was not greedy, but just wanted to find an excuse to help Clara.
"Candy is sweet, Clara... Do you like flowers and plants?"
"Yeah? I do."
Clara answered without hesitation, but then she lost her temper. She lowered her head in disappointment. "But the environment in the lower area is very bad. Clara brought some flowers and plants from her big brother's [Earth] to raise them, but failed... Basically, no flowers and plants can survive outdoors in the lower area."
"The environment is too bad, isn't it?"
Nashida folded her hands and thought.
If you want to change the cold environment...
Teyvat has an example of blowing down snow mountains and introducing warm winds, but I don't know if he is willing to take the trouble to help a group of strangers transform the world...
But he probably won't do such a thankless task.
"ε=(´ο`*))) Alas."
Nashida sighed.
She raised her hand, and a green sprout seed appeared in her palm, "Clara, this seed is for you."
"But--" Clara was still a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, this seed is easy to grow."
Nashida put the seed in Clara's palm, let her hold it, and patted her hand, "My power alone is very small, but I will do my best to help you."
"No, no, I'm used to it."
Clara shook her head at her, "If I make you lose too much power and can't leave Beloberg and go back to Teyvat because of me, sister Nashida, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
"Don't worry, take it, it's just a seed that is easy to survive." Nashida smiled.
"Well... okay."
Clara took it and secretly decided to plant it in a potted plant at night.
Creaky--
The creaking sound of the mechanical legs grabbing the ground came over.
Clara stopped and looked at the small robot Perkins in the shape of a traffic light running towards them.
"What's wrong, Perkins?"
"Report to Clara, there is someone outside the mechanical settlement"People came to see me. They said they were looking for someone here."
Perkins said mechanically, "They came to look for [Nashida]. "
"Looking for Nashida's sister?" Clara looked at Nashida.
"A friend... did come to the lower area like me..."
Nashida turned and looked in the direction of the gate, "The wind nearby suddenly became active."
"Nashida's sister's friend?"
"Well, it should be him. Do you want to go and see together? Clara." Nashida invited her.
"Is it okay?"
"Of course. "
Nashida took her hand and led her towards the gate.
Swarovski followed the two of them, with red light flashing in his eyes.
It detected the energy in Nashida and assessed the degree of danger of Nashida.
It should have been rated as dangerous, but after seeing Clara's smiling face, it finally revised the assessment.
[Harmless, but to be observed]
Since the last trip to Baiyu [Earth], Swarovski has known that [Baiyu] is a variable, and people and things related to Baiyu can be called variables. .
Variables, often unable to assess good or bad, can only make improvisations based on what is about to happen.
But no matter what, it will stick to its will to protect Clara...
After walking behind them for a while, Swarovski saw the people coming.
Oleg, Xier, and a guy covered in green from [Underground Fire].
Risk index assessment: medium, high, uncertain.
Swarovski raised his hand slightly, ready to fight at any time.
By the door.
"Nashida, are you okay? I'm here to pick you up."
Wendy waved to the people coming towards him.
After he was sent to the lower area, he not only met the doctor Natasha and the leader of the Underground Fire, but also had lunch at Natasha's research institute. It can be said that he saw Natasha's gentleness.
It's a pity that there is no wine, but in the lower area or even in the environment of Beloberg, it is still difficult to get wine.
He didn't force it.
"I'm fine. "
Nashida walked over, "Wendy, what do you think of the journey?"
"I also heard that there is only one city on this planet, Beloberg. This is the last barrier and the last place of refuge for humans on this planet."
Wendy spread her hands, "But I don't have much to say, but the children are innocent."
"As long as the problem of the cold wave is solved... the blockade of the upper area will be broken." Nashida took a deep breath and stared at Wendy sincerely.
Wendy: "..."
"Stare--"
Nashida continued to stare at Wendy.
The two parties stopped their actions at the same time and looked at the two.
Finally.
Wendy couldn't stand being stared at, and said helplessly: "It's useless for you to look at me like this... My current wind... is not enough to blow away the wind and snow in this world."
"But if it's just Beloberg... is it okay?"
"Nashida, you have to know that we are just travelers who have just arrived... If we do this, is it really necessary? "
Wendy's tone became even more helpless.
The Great Kind Tree King is gentle and kind, and the Little Lucky Grass King completely inherited her character, kind, hard-working, benefiting the people, and not caring about gains and losses.
This can't be said to be bad...
But...
Harm.
It's better not to mention it.
"I overstepped my bounds."
Nashida lowered her head in disappointment, "Just seeing Clara, I seemed to see myself in the past... If it weren't for the arrival of the travelers... I don't know how long I would have stayed in that cage..."
"Don't worry, it's not impossible to do this... If we can leave the lower area today, then I will try to use the wind to disperse the ice and snow around Beloberg. "
Wendy patted his chest and promised very seriously.
According to the information he learned from Natasha and Oleg, even Baiyu's promise to them was a few days later...
So.
He doesn't have to worry about the lower area opening early.
Unless there is an accident...
However, just after he set up his flag, a member of the Earth Fire who came out of nowhere ran over with a newspaper.
"Boss! Something big happened!!!"
"The Rift Monsters invaded the town again?" Oleg frowned and looked at Xier beside him.
"I'll take care of it." Xier summoned the sickle neatly.
"No, no, no, boss. Huhu——"
The man took two deep breaths, stroked his chest with his hand to calm down, and then continued: "The great guardian of the upper area issued an order to lift theThe blockade between the upper and lower levels, Boss, people in the lower area can go to the upper area now! "
"Huh?" Oleg was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why is it so sudden?"
"According to the newspapers sent down from the upper level: [The Great Guardian, with the help of several aliens, has driven out the evil that has been poisoning this city for seven hundred years from our home. From now on, the wind and snow outside the city wall will gradually subside, and the expansion of the Rift will also be suppressed by the offensive of the Iron Guards]."
"emmmm..."
Oleg's mind flashed through several figures who accompanied Bai Yu down.
"What is the current situation?"
"The cable car will be opened...The Silver Mane Iron Guards will re-enter the lower area, but not today."
"..."
Oleg was silent for a moment, and continued to ask the man: "The lower area has been blocked for more than ten years. The hardships and scars suffered by our lower people, the Great Guardian just revealed it? "
"About this... the newspaper also said..."
The man took out a folded newspaper from his pocket and handed it to Oleg: "The Great Guardian [Cocolia Rand] feels very upset and regretful about the blockade order for the residents of the lower district for more than ten years, but the scars brought by time cannot be healed in a short time. She promised to make Beloberg rejuvenated within a year, and decided to step down as the Great Guardian after that."
"Is there no substantial compensation?"
Oleg took it and quickly glanced at it. "Substantial compensation is still under discussion. During this period, the upper level will provide medical supplies and food to the lower level. The meeting will produce the results of the discussion within seven days at the earliest? The lower district can elect five people's representatives to enter the upper administrative district of Klipperburg for a meeting and discussion?"
"Well... That's it, boss. It seems that the people in the upper district are still too full. They don't know what we want at all! "
The man stamped his feet angrily, "What kind of discussion is this? Who knows if the five people who are selected will be secretly bribed? By then, the five of them will make a fortune, while the rest of us in the lower level will still live a hard life. Isn't the so-called compensation just bullshit?"
"Well... don't worry, it's okay for the five of us to go up and discuss."
Oleg held a different opinion, "The upper and lower levels have been separated for so long, they really don't know what we need... As for the unexpected situation of bribery, as long as we ensure that there is a fair, just and open [person] in that meeting, it will be fine."
After saying that.
He looked at [Swarovski] and Clara.
This so-called fair, just and open candidate is the most suitable for Swarovski.
Robots don't eat humans, nor do they use humans' (money), so there is no need to worry about bribery.
"Mr. Oleg means that you want Mr. Swarovski to go with you? "Clara saw the meaning behind Oleg's behavior.
"Prototype No. 3 - "Supervisory Machine" Swarro, Agreement Three: Protect Clara. Swarro, you have to find Clara's family and will not be away from Clara." Swarro spoke directly.
"When encountering this kind of problem, the solution is very simple, just let little sister Clara go with you." Oleg suggested.
"Would it be a bit bad if Clara went with you..." Clara hesitated.
"Hasn't Clara always wanted to protect everyone? Now is a good opportunity."
Nasida took Clara's hand and encouraged her: "Strive for more benefits for yourself and for the residents of the lower district."
"Can I...?" Clara looked at Swarro next to her, "Mr. Swarro..."
"Striving for more benefits can create better living conditions, which is more conducive to Clara's growth. Suggestion: Go." Swarro replied.
"Okay! I'll go! "
Clara's eyes became firm.
I want to protect everyone too!
"In this way... a candidate can be finalized, and I believe that the people in the mechanical settlement will not have any objections..."
Oleg nodded in appreciation, and then moved his eyes to Wendy on the side, "Sir Wendy, did you promise anything just now?"
"Ah this..."
Wendy's mouth twitched slightly.
I didn't expect that the final target of the conversation was still pointed at him.
I thought it could be quietly revealed like this... Next time, no, there will be no next time, he will never set any flags randomly in the future!
"Don't worry, Wendy will work hard to do what he said, he is such a trustworthy person." Nashida was full of confidence.
"...”
Xiaocao, the one you are talking about is not me! It’s Zhongli! Zhongli wow!!!
Wendy screamed inwardly.
On the surface, he remained unmoved, and said with a serious look:
“Don’t worry, Oleg, I will do my best to do what I promised. But if possible, can you give me wine as a reward? Please.”
“I will also try my best to ask...”
“Okay.”
Wendy sighed.
In fact, he didn’t have much hope...
He looked up at the sky.
But.
Who made him meet good people at the beginning...
Just like that.
A plan to change the environment around Beloberg was temporarily finalized.
