Chapter 1436 Survival After Disaster

Flight N-177 was successfully decelerated.

The patrol ships of the Pan-Asian First Fleet set off 11 hours ago and are expected to catch up with them 48 hours later.

At that time, professional pilots will come to take over the flight, and professional equipment will replenish the propellant for the flight and take them home.

On the other side, the passengers who survived the catastrophe and the six flight attendants on the flight spontaneously formed a temporary rescue group to maintain order on the flight and distribute food and drinking water to the elderly, children and other passengers.

When Lu Zhou returned to the cabin again, many people gave him hugs and thanks.

Some people hope to exchange virtual community accounts with him, but Lu Zhou from the 21st century is completely at a loss as to what kind of virtual community and so on. Penguin of water, perfunctory passed.

After finishing his lunch, Lu Zhou left his seat, got up and went to the corridor outside the cabin.

The bodies of the two hijackers had been removed, and volunteers, composed of passengers, dragged them to the already empty bionic rest area.

As for the pile of bionic human remains on the ground, no one has touched them, and it seems that they intend to hand them over to their owners and the Pan-Asian authorities.

It didn't take much time, and Lu Zhou quickly found the rusty old-fashioned bionic man.

It had been brutally destroyed by the exoskeleton-clad hijacker in the previous battle, so all that lay there was a pile of wreckage.

However, even so, Lu Zhou still wanted to thank it.

"Thanks."

Looking at the bionic body that could no longer move, Lu Zhou closed his eyes and mourned for it for a while.

Although the time we spent together was very short and there were no conversations, but in just a few days, it has saved itself twice.

Maybe it's because of being with Xiao Ai for too long, for those AIs that are particularly human-like, he always feels that he can't completely treat them as machines.

What do you say?

It's probably like seeing your own child.

"Woooo..."

On the way back to the cabin, Lu Zhou saw a little girl with a cute ponytail, about seven or eight years old, who was sadly wiping her tears with her small hands, squatting on the ground and sobbing softly.

Walking forward, Lu Zhou knelt down in front of her and asked in a comforting tone.

"Did you get lost with your family?"

"My tail...she...she's broken."

"……Tail?"

Looking up at Lu Zhou, the little girl nodded with tears in her eyes, and spread her clenched right fist, revealing the memory card-like thing she held in her palm.

"Tail... is Lili's good friend. Every time I am sad, she will sing to me and comfort me."

As she spoke, the little girl's voice became even more sad.

She sniffed, looked down at the memory card in her hand, and spoke intermittently in a choked voice.

"...Don't worry, when Lili returns to Earth and saves enough pocket money, she will definitely fix you. At that time, I will replace you with a more beautiful one..."

Lu Zhou: "..."

Originally, he thought what a "tail" was, but he didn't expect it to be a bionic person.

He couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when he thought that the bionic man sent by Xiao Ai had activated all the bionics on the ship in order to save himself.

If only he had money on him now.

If you have money, you must pay her one according to the most expensive configuration.

Unfortunately, the only pockets he has now are borrowed from an Englishman. After the flight arrived, he still didn't know how much of his "inheritance" he could inherit.

"If your tail knows that you are so sad because of her, it must be very sad..." Lu Zhou squatted in front of the little girl, touched her head, and handed her a command With a reassuring smile, "Go to your parents, they are all worried about you."

"Um……"

Perhaps infected by that sunny and handsome smile, the little girl nodded. Although there were still tears in her eyes, she was much better than before.

Standing up and patting the corner of her skirt, she bowed her head politely to Lu Zhou, said thank you, and ran away towards the cabin.

Looking at the back of the little girl leaving, Lu Zhou thought for a while before returning to the pile of machine wreckage.

After groping on it for a while, he pulled out a black cuboid about the size of a harmonica and similar in shape from the chest of the broken bionic man.

"Is this a memory card?"

It looks much bulkier than the one in the little girl's hand, but the interface and shape are basically the same.

Is it because the machine is too old?

"...When you return to the earth, I will also replace you with a new body."

At least change to one that can talk.

Of course, the premise is to save enough money first...

Standing in the corridor for a while, Lu Zhou, who had nothing else to do, looked at the scenery outside the window for a while, then turned and returned to the cabin.

When he returned to the cabin again, people finally vented their joy for the rest of their lives, and stopped whistling at him, or doing things that bothered him although they were well-intentioned.

After returning to his seat and sitting down, Lu Zhou took off the brain-computer neural interface from the seat, and was about to connect to the database on the machine to continue charging his knowledge.

However, at this moment, not far from his seat, a woman with a good face and mature female charm settled the infant child, got up from the seat, and walked towards him.

"I wanted to say thank you."

Hearing these words, Lu Zhou looked up at her and recognized this lady, the mother he had rescued earlier.

"You're welcome," Lu Zhou looked at her and nodded, then asked casually, "Speaking of which, where is your husband?"

"I do not have a husband."

"...Sorry, I asked a heavy question."

"Where, it's not what you think," the mature lady smiled, "Speaking of which, sir, are you a dormant person?"

Seeing Professor Leonard frowning at him, although Lu Zhou couldn't figure out what he wanted to express, after thinking about it, he still gave an ambiguous answer.

"... Can you see this too?"

"Many dormant people who have been frozen for a long time will have a lot of confusion about the morality and values ​​​​of the current society after they wake up, especially in marriage and family."

"for example?"

"For example, in this day and age, the concept of family in the traditional sense of a century ago does not exist anymore. Although some people will still get married, most people still prefer to live alone and have a 100-year-old family. Shundi's bionic companion. As for love, there are many similar substitutes in the virtual world."

Lu Zhou looked at Professor Leonard and gave him an unexpected look.

Professor Leonard shrugged and said.

"...she's right, the old-fashioned stuff stopped working about half a century ago. My father conceived me at the age of fifty through artificial organs and scientific means. I don't have a mother, But I probably know that my egg donor is a woman of Italian descent, I just never met her."

Unexpectedly, this guy has such a past. Lu Zhou stared at Professor Leonard dumbfounded, and opened his mouth not knowing what to say.

"This is too..."

"Forget it if you want to sympathize with me. I think it's good. And everyone is like this. If it's a two-parent family, it will look very special."

Lu Zhou opened his mouth, still unable to understand this strange concept.

He thinks his point of view is quite advanced, he can accept not marrying for a lifetime, and he also thinks that there is no need to choose a person he doesn't love just to continue the DNA, but he still can't accept this kind of casual family idea.

Can a child without a father or mother really have a healthy and complete childhood?

I always feel that if you have to deprive someone of something that should belong to someone from the beginning, it is better not to let it come into this world from the beginning.

This is not only responsible for yourself, but also for your children.

However, in this era, what he couldn't understand seemed to have become a common thing.

His head was a little messed up, and his intuition told him that this was not good, but philosophy was beyond his professional scope after all, and he couldn't say what was wrong for a while.

"...Of course, nothing is absolute, and many couples will enter the palace of marriage. It's just that today's society is more tolerant, and it doesn't exclude or persecute those who disagree."

Saying that, the lady with a mature feminine charm turned her head and threw a smile at Lu Zhou.

"...Moreover, after seeing you, sir, I feel like I believe in love again."

This counts as...

Tease me?

Faintly read a trace of enthusiasm from that line of sight, Lu Zhou hesitated a little, and said with puzzled eyes: "...but you don't even know my name."

"The name is just a code name. What I value more is your maturity, stability, reliability and... well, masculine feeling? Anyway, it's not the same as the sissy next to you. I still like you. .”

Upon hearing this sentence, Professor Leonard immediately became unhappy, and refuted what he said.

"What is a sissy? Which of your eyes can tell—"

Ignoring Professor Leonard, the woman took a step closer with a smile, looked at Lu Zhou and continued.

"At that time, you were the only one who stood up bravely and saved me, my child, and the little girl who helped me, didn't you? If you can—"

"Sorry, I already have someone I like."

Although she, like everyone else, has become a memory of the times...

I was a little surprised by Lu Zhou's answer, and there was a surprised expression on his mature face.

But soon, that surprise turned into a smile, and she continued.

"If you feel that the fetters of the soul are too heavy, I don't mind developing another partnership with you—"

Lu Zhou: "I mind."

woman:"……"
