The violent wind and snow, mixed with broken ice, hit us head on.
Every step led to waist-deep sinking into the snow.
Rather than walking, it's more like making a path.
Even though Raul was wearing power armor, he still felt out of breath.
The wind and snow hit the panel, and Raul subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
He still remembered that a long time ago, when he and his colleagues had just received the task of staying behind.
At that time, they would often leave the ecological dome, wear power armor, travel across the vast land of White Star, and inspect the locations of factories.
It was not until later, as time went by and everyone got older, that the number of inspections began to decrease.
Later, they discovered several dormant chambers, and decided to select a few people to hibernate in order to spend the long years, looking forward to the day when they could report to the main civilization and the mission was completed.
Later, when Raul woke up for the first time, there were already thousands of descendants of androids in the entire biodome, and most of his old friends were already dead.
Only a few dormant guys like him are still alive.
Sleeping and waking up again and again, the environment of the entire ecological dome is changing.
The population is growing.
However, the dormant warehouses they found gradually began to be damaged.
So they disassembled the parts that damaged the dormant chamber and used them to repair the well-preserved ones.
And those who go into hibernation are chosen by lot.
Until three thousand years ago, there was only one dormant chamber that could still remain intact.
Raul is the lucky one, but also the unfortunate one.
He would never forget the relieved smile on the old man's face when he didn't win the last draw.
"Raul, I'm sorry, you can only walk the rest of the way alone."
Later, the nuclear fusion generator set used to power the dormant cabin was damaged.
Raul couldn't fix the generator, so he began draining the energy from the biodome's artificial sun.
Until he thought he couldn't hold on anymore.
Finally, we waited for the return of the main civilization.
Follow the route that has been patrolled countless times thousands of years ago.
Raul remembered clearly that not far ahead, only a few dozen kilometers away, was the location of a factory.
As long as you get there, you will definitely be able to contact the main civilization.
As Raul trudged in the wind and snow, his breathing became more intense. He felt that his hopeless heart, which had long been aging, seemed to be about to explode, and he began to feel pain.
Even the power armor he was wearing began to make a creaking sound.
Tens of thousands of years have also left traces on this powered armor.
"Old man, just hold on, hold on. This is our last patrol. We must go to the end."
Raising his head, Raul could vaguely see the towering peaks in the distance.
I remember correctly, the inside of that mountain is the entrance to the factory.
Suddenly, Raul's eyes widened. He saw a transport plane rising from the inside of the mountain.
The huge transport plane flew across the sky above Raul and flew towards an unknown distance.
Raul's eyes were blurred by tears unconsciously.
Ten thousand years later, he finally saw traces of the main civilization again.
Cough cough cough, violent wheezing accompanied by violent coughing.
Raul squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body, controlled the power armor, stepped forward, and continued walking towards the mountains in the distance.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Raul's consciousness began to drift.
He could only rely on the pain caused by biting his tongue to stimulate himself to wake up.
The power armor staggered across the snowy field.
Raul's mouth was full of blood.
He wanted to fall countless times, but he knew he could never fall here.
If he fell down here, he would never be able to stand up again.
Until he was in a trance, Raul saw a dozen small drones flying towards his location in the distant sky.
Raul's footsteps finally stopped.
He watched the dozen small drones hovering around him.
Raul laughed.
He raised his hand and saluted where the drone was.
He knew someone behind the drone would see it.
that's enough.
With a bang, the powered armor fell into the snowfield and was gradually buried by the heavy snow.
Raul's last sight was of the Earth in the sky.
Then, he closed his eyes with a smile on his face.
Lin Xu received the news just before entering the dormant warehouse.
The news was reported to Lin Xu by Bai Xing, who was in charge of the factory repair work.
"What are you talking about? The bionic man from ten thousand years ago is still alive? Are you sure?"
"Yes, there is a well-preserved hard drive in his power armor. According to the data recorded in it, he relied on the hibernation chamber to survive until now."
"How is he now?" Lin Xu asked.
"He has naturally aged to the end of his lifespan, and medical treatments are useless."
"That's it." Lin Xu looked at the image data transmitted by Bai Xing.
Especially the way he saluted at the end, sighing.
Later, Bai Xing introduced the information in the well-preserved hard drive to Lin Xu.
Among them are the daily patrol records of three hundred androids.
Later, they decided to select a few people to enter the dormant warehouse to extend their lives.
And the remaining people decided to reproduce in order to better maintain the operation of the biodome.
At the same time, they also wrote down the knowledge they knew in their minds and made it into books, so that their descendants could have this basic civilization and not become savages.
Minutes of meetings and decisions are all recorded.
"What's his name?"
"Number 60011027789 Raul."
"What's the significance of this number?"
"It was 600 years after its launch. It was shipped from the factory on November 2nd. It is numbered 7789. Raul was named by the human who was responsible for releasing him later."
"I remember, take him back to earth and bury him at the foot of Mount Everest."
"clear."
"By the way, if the remaining three hundred androids can find a burial place, they should also be brought back to Earth and buried with Raul."
"I will search, but human Lin Xu, in ten thousand years, it has been difficult for them to leave traces." Bai Xing reminded.
"I know, just do your best."
Lin Xu finally said, then entered the dormant chamber, slowly lay down, and closed his eyes.
The last thing he saw was Miss Qiu tidying up everything in the dormant cabin for him as gently as ever, smiling at him and closing the hatch for him.
Miss Qiu actually smiled?
Lin Xu was a little surprised, but before he could think more, waves of sleepiness came over him, and Lin Xu fell asleep.
In the end, there was only one thought in my mind.
She looks pretty when she smiles.
