Chapter 173 - Unfamiliar
.?According to normal time, it is now time to use the restaurant at noon. Of course, it is normal for someone to eat. However, what Tianxiang is concerned about is a woman who has just walked into the restaurant. She is one of the female managers of Longcheng and the author of the "Dragon Hunter Marriage Law" - Huang Manyun.
Since the moment she stepped into the restaurant, Huang Manyun's eyes never left the location of Tianxiang and others. Of course, it was not the noble patriarch and the knowledgeable Qin Guang who attracted her attention. But when she nodded politely to the other party, she suddenly discovered that among the respected crowd, there seemed to be a familiar figure. "Class leader, this person is..." Without even thinking about it, Huang Manyun trotted to Tianxiang in front of him in three steps and directly expressed his questions.
"He is Chen Zhiwen, and he is our friend. He is also a "pathfinder". "Bu Guan Xiang replied. He also noticed the doubts in the eyes of the head of Liuyun's matriarch. Therefore, at the end, he added: "What, it seems...you know each other?"
This sentence made the man who was concentrating on dealing with a bunch of food raise his head. However, from the confusion on his face, it can be seen that he was not familiar with the woman in front of him. "You...you...Chen Zhiwen...I...have we...have we...she...she...she...she's there?" After hesitating for a long time, Huang Manyun finally expressed his own problem. However, she didn't even notice it herself. As the words blurted out, everyone around changed their expressions on their faces.
A man who had just woken up from the training trough actually met Huang Manyun. This was an extremely strange thing in itself. Tianxiang didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and quietly grabbed the face from under the table with surprise.
Qin Guang, who wanted to ask questions, signaled him not to speak for the time being and wait and see what happened.
"You know me" Chen Zhiwen tried hard to swallow the huge canned insect meat in his mouth.
He stroked his chest in difficulty. He looked at the woman opposite him in confusion. He was surprised.
He said, "You, you recognize the wrong person, I have no impression of you at all!" "Then why do I feel like I have seen you somewhere?" Huang Manyun frowned, and the eyes in his eyes did not mean to leave the other party at all: "No, I must have seen you somewhere. I must have seen you."
Tianxiang was still smiling on his face. His right hand had already quietly touched the pistol holster on his waist.
"Haha! It's weird. Then why can't I remember it at all?" The man smiled, ignored her, and lowered his head to continue his unfinished meal. Huang Manyun stopped speaking. She just stood there thinking hard. She was in the past memory, trying to search for everything about this familiar and strange man. After all, the other party was so special that it was so special that people could not forget it if they had seen it...
She was sure that she had read the wrong person.
"Wait! I remembered it. It was you, it was you, at that time. It was you who gave me that map." Suddenly, Huang Manyun pointed at the man opposite and shouted desperately. "Map? What map?" Tianxiang and the man asked in unison.
"Class leader, have you forgotten? More than 20 years ago, when you just discovered and rescued us from the snow and ice, I showed you a strange map. The map marked many resource names that can be used. Among them, you are most interested, and the only word I can understand is "coal".
"...You mean...that geological map that is quite precisely made?" Tianxiang suddenly realized after she said this. "Yes. It's that picture." Huang Manyun shouted excitedly: "It's him, he gave me that picture at that time."
In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on the man. However, from the blank expression on his face, it can be seen that he did not seem to understand what the other party was saying.
"Is he who gave you the drawing?" Tianxiang suddenly stood up from the chair and stared at Huang Manyun's eyes. He said seriously word by word: "Can you be sure... it's him?" "Yes!" The head of Liuyun nodded heavily: "It's just that he changed to someone else, I might remember it wrong. But I can never forget him."
Yes! In the cold winter when you are bone-cut and lack food and clothing, someone suddenly tells you that there is plenty of fuel in a certain place. The only thing you need to do is to follow the location marked on the map given to you by the other party that almost doesn't understand. Take the shivering and trembling tribe members, and be forced to look for a way to freeze to death at any time...
Rather than giving such help, it is better not to give.
Huang Manyun will never forget in his life that when the snow outside was deep enough to his knees, he was wearing only a few strands of ragged cloth strips. In order to save that little fuel on the road of searching, dozens of women gathered together and faced the extremely weak flames to keep warm. If it weren't for the help of the big ?? at that time... I'm afraid he would have become a cold bone in the vast snowfield like other hunters who died prematurely. "It was him, he provided us with that drawing. Although he kept saying that it was helping us, judging from the actual situation at that time, he was simply ulterior motives."
Such accusations were all indignant to everyone. However, no one noticed that a hint of panic flashed through Chen Zhiwen's eyes with a blank expression. "Sorry... I really don't know what you are talking about. I have never seen you... any memory about you. However, from what you just said, we should be very good friends. Otherwise, I would not have handed such an important drawing into your hands easily."
As he said that, Chen Zhiwen said in confusion with a look of thought and confusion: "I think if I really did this...then, it must be that there was something else at that time. After all, as a "pathfinder", I would never do anything that harms humanity." "According to this, you still can't remember the scene of her encounter with her at that time?" At this time, Tianxiang suddenly interrupted from the side.
"I really don't have any impression. Maybe... it's because I've been sleeping in the cultivation trough for too long!" The man shook his head and smiled mockingly. He put his attention on the unfinished lunch again. Although he was still sweating, the speed of his swallowing food did indicate the existence of hunger. However, in the eyes of others, there were obviously more ingredients for making preparations. Tianxiang did not speak, but just whispered at Huang Manyun, indicating that she should not continue to be entangled. Then he turned to Qin Guang and winked, then stood up and left the restaurant alone.
"Are you full?" An hour later, in the office of the patriarch of the city office hall, Tianxiang said to Chen Zhiwen who had just walked into the door.
"If my stomach wasn't really too much to hold, I really wanted to eat a few more cooked canned worm meat. I really admire you. Even this method of preserving food that has been lost since ancient times can make it... It seems that the dragon clan has a considerable reason for its strength." "It doesn't matter. If you like to eat, say to the people below and ask them to supply you according to the quantity." Without caring about the other party's flattery, Tianxiang replied lightly, and immediately turned the following words to the topic: "There are no outsiders here, tell me! Who are you?"
"I am the 'pathfinder' like you. You have known this for a long time." Chen Zhiwen's face was still as sincere as he could see it, and he didn't feel artificial at all. "I didn't say you are not." Tianxiang replied calmly: "In front of me, it's better to put away the set of things used to confuse your tribe. Such brain thinking intrusion has no effect on me. As long as I am willing, I can turn you into an idiot at any time. You should be able to feel that my thinking energy is far stronger than you."
"Haha! I don't want to offend you at all! Dear patriarch. On the contrary, your lovely female subordinate did make me feel a little confused in language just now. What are your good suggestions for this?" The man responded with a gentle smile. "I am not very interested in the matter between you and her for the time being." Tianxiang frowned and glanced at the other party. Suddenly, strong brain wave energy was emitted, completely wrapping Chen Zhiwen who was laughing. Then he continued: "Tell me, who are you?" The sudden energy rushed from all directions, like an invisible rope, tied the man tightly to the chair.
It seemed like a zongzi with a not-stricken shape. This behavior made him open his eyes wide, stare at Tianxiang opposite in horror, and shouted in a trembling voice: "How is this possible? How can you have such powerful energy! Are you... Are you a human... Such energy... is not something that humans have at all..." "It seems that you are not going to answer my question." Tianxiang shook his head and looked at the man in front of him who could not move at all: "Since you can't answer my question, it's not worth wasting more time on you. It's better to go back to the cultivation trough and continue to sleep with your good sleep!"
As he said that, Tianxiang wanted to increase the energy dispersion, and his spearhead was Chen Zhiwen's brain.
"No! Don't do this. I say, I say everything..." Maybe I feel the other person's strength, maybe I really don't want the scene that Tianxiang said. Or for some other reason, the man who was chatting and laughing and looking calm finally let go.
"I...I didn't lie to you...I'm indeed a "pathfinder". "I didn't say you lied to me." Tianxiang shouted in a gloomy face: "I'm asking you, who are you? What I feel in you is not exactly the gene of the "pathfinder". There are other things... It's strange and special..."
"That's not my cell." Hearing this, Chen Zhiwen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your feeling is indeed quite keen. You may have noticed that my legs do not exactly match my body structure. In fact, they did not belong to me before." Tian Xiang raised his eyebrows and did not speak. He just signaled him to continue talking.
"It was about sixteen years ago! I accidentally discovered a biological laboratory hidden underground in this extremely cold land in the northern part of the mainland. It should be one of the scientific research sites of ancient humans. At that time, I was ecstatic and did not pay attention to the surrounding environment at all, so I rushed into it and turned on the central control computer. However, at that time, I discovered that it was not an ordinary computer, but a powerful machine with self-thinking ability and completely artificial intelligence." "The computer has self-awareness, and this is not surprising." Hearing this, Tian Xiang suddenly thought of the "Zhilong No. 1" in charge of "Tianyu" in the morning, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. After all, in his opinion, the self-awareness shown by artificial intelligence on ancient computers was really too much to be raised, and he could no longer raise any of his interests.
"No, no, no! If you understand it wrong, that is definitely not an ordinary computer performance." Chen Zhiwen quickly explained: "That computer is quite strange. It seems to be very clear about everything about the "Pathfinder". Even... I have an extremely strong interest in the genes in my body..." "Oh?" Tianxiang looked at him in surprise and smiled sarcastically: "Haha! Why, is that computer trying to plunder your genes? This is a very good idea."
"If I just plunder genes, at most I can squeeze some blood for it. In fact... its purpose is my body..." When he said this, Chen Zhiwen's throat seemed a little dry and his tone became a little awkward. "Your body?" Tianxiang narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party carefully: "What does this mean?"
"It wants my body, my hands, feet, brain... everything on my body. Let's say that! That computer...it no longer wants to keep itself like it. It...it...it wants to become a real person."
"Become a human?" Tianxiang asked in surprise: "A computer? How is this possible? How can it become a human?" "I don't know." Chen Zhiwen admitted: "The moment I walked into the laboratory, I found that something was wrong. Robots from all directions surrounded me in the middle. When they tied me up and sent me to the computer and heard it requested, I felt like you, and I felt that this kind of thing was extremely ridiculous."
"What happened later?" Tianxiang became more and more interested in his words. Because, based on his experience and thoughtful detection results, although these words were not sure that they were 100% credible, the real part of them accounted for at least a large proportion.
"Later?" Chen Zhiwen smiled slutty and said, "You can't imagine all my experiences there. The computer controlled all the robots in the laboratory. They opened a large culture tank, filled with strange medicine liquid to soak it in it. And injected some inexplicable potions into my body. While keeping my mind clear, I lost all my body's feelings. Those guys who were killed by the gods cut off my legs in front of me and took out the bones.
Then he used the steel components made of metal. In the words of that computer, this was the strongest transformation of my body. In order to obtain a more perfect body, he grabbed the knife on the table and stabbed it into his left leg. Then, he used his hands to open the divided muscles. Under the bright light in the room, Tianxiang could clearly see: between the bright red and the muscles, there was a round metal object with dazzling light.
"Don't be nervous, these two legs have no feeling." The man smiled bitterly: "They have been blocked from the pain in the nerve center. In addition to the necessary touch, they have lost all the nerve abilities that humans should have. These phenomena of sourness and swelling will never occur. Of course, the strength must be far beyond normal people..." Looking at the man sitting opposite and full of miserable faces, Tianxiang couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable pity. The hostility and vigilance that had existed since the beginning also reduced most of the time with this action.
