Chapter 53 Leaving the Forest
Behind the forest.
There are several winding streams in the vast forest. The water from the streams converges into a wide waterfall, and the violent water falls from the cliffs.
A huge waterfall separates the cliff, with lush forest on one side and ancient buildings on the other.
A broken stone bridge connected the two sides of the cliff. At this moment, Xia Yu and others were resting near the stone bridge.
On the other side of the stone bridge, the huge building built on the cliff is the so-called Forest Kingdom.
Of course, those buildings are also one of the buildings left over from the old times. The trees that grow wildly have become the support points of the buildings, preventing them from collapsing with the passage of time.
“Sizzle~”
Bopolla flipped the wild boar skewers on the grill. The fat and lean pork sizzled on the grill. The occasional dripping of fat made the flames flicker, but then quickly dimmed.
After they dealt with the mechanical life forms along the way, they soon arrived at the back of the forest. According to the crazy words of the mechanical life forms, they also knew that the kingdom of the forest was across the cliff.
At this point, Xia Yu no longer insisted on going over to take a look, as he was afraid that the artificial simulated heart that was protecting him would not be able to withstand it.
Although he could easily clear the Forest Kingdom by himself, there wasn't anything particularly good in it, except for a mechanical lifeform blacksmith named Masamune, who was a famous craftsman who could upgrade weapons in the later stages of the game.
However , after he has occupied the large network of mechanical life forms, he can let the mechanical life form come to find him, so now he is not so eager to enter the Forest Kingdom.
Once you have rested enough, it's time to leave the forest.
"My lord, your kebab."
Just when Xia Yu was distracted and thinking, Boppola came over with a wooden plate with the skewers of meat she had just grilled on it.
The wild boar was just hunted in the forest. After washing the boar meat with stream water, it was made into barbecue skewers using local ingredients.
These huge wild boars taste good, unlike the wild boars of the old times. These wild boars, which are at least three or four times larger, also have a fishy smell, but it is not strong.
Even without the extra cumin spice, the taste is still great, with a pure wild flavor.
"Thank you, Popola."
"It is an honor to serve you, my Lord."
Bobo La smiled slightly and silently clenched her fist in her heart. If she wanted to capture the human's heart, she had to capture his stomach first. It just so happened that she knew a few cooking skills. If conditions permitted, she could prepare a full banquet at any time!
But the conditions are poor now, so we can only grill some meat for the time being.
After handing the skewers to Xia Yu, Boppola sat next to Divara and started eating the barbecue. In fact, androids can eat. Their reactors can even decompose water into energy, let alone food.
And because they admire their creator, that is, humans, the lifestyles of the androids are all similar to those of former humans, including eating and sleeping, even though they do not need them.
So except Xia Yu, all the other androids at the scene were eating, but 9S went somewhere mysteriously.
Anyway, Xia Yu said that while we were resting here, he temporarily left the team, saying that he wanted to find dessert for the adults.
Xia Yu thought about it and ignored him. Maybe 9S was going to look for some fruits. After all, this was a forest and there should be wild fruit trees.
However, Xia Yu soon realized how naive his thoughts were, because 9S came back holding a pile of mud.
"Sir, this is the soil I found nearby. It is rich in iron. I'm sorry, I didn't find any iron ore. Please make do with it for now."
"I've read in a book that iron deficiency can cause iron deficiency anemia, so please supplement your iron intake, sir."
Xia Yu: ( ̄□ ̄)
How can this silly child be so honest?
9S: The child is stupid, but he is very proactive.
Looking at 9S's genuine anticipation, Xia Yu took a deep breath and said, "Poppola, I'm counting on you!"
"Yes, sir!"
Popola jumped to Xia Yu's side and understood the situation at a glance. Her face froze and she slapped the mud out of 9S's hand.
Before 9S could even show his confusion, Popola said confidently, "How can you let a human eat something like this? It's so dirty!"
"Even if you want to supplement minerals, you have to make it into food first. Look at this for yourself. Can you eat this stuff?"
Actually, it is possible, 9S answered silently in his heart, but soon he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. Yes, how can we let humans eat this kind of thing!
It is a well-known fact that humans cannot eat raw food, and the same goes for minerals. They need to be cooked into cooked food, but how do you cook minerals into cooked food?
9S fell into deep thought once again.
Seeing the silly child fall into thought again, Popola breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she could still explain it this way. It not only preserved the reputation of human adults, but also prevented 9S from doing such stupid things again.
And if you think about it carefully, she is right. Humans really do get various minerals from food, so there is no need to worry about any problems.
The little episode passed quickly.
After eating and resting, 2B's auxiliary machine suddenly sent news from the bunker. After reading the new mission, 2B walked up to Xia Yu with a serious expression.
"Sir, our commander wishes to see you in person, so the Forest Kingdom may..."
2B hesitated and couldn't say anything because she had to go against the humans' wishes to enter the Forest Kingdom.
But even so, Xia Yu understood what it meant, which was to leave here and go to the resistance camp, and he just happened to want to leave.
"Okay, then we won't go to the Forest Kingdom."
Hearing this, 2B breathed a sigh of relief, and then an indescribable feeling of being touched rose in her heart. Humans are so kind.
Under the beautifying filter, Xia Yu's image becomes even more majestic and sacred.
This time the departure did not take too long, because the mechanical life forms along the way had been completely destroyed before, so the group quickly returned to the forest entrance, which was the commercial ruins, without being blocked.
"Warning, special mechanical life form reaction detected."
Everyone returned to the entrance, and before they had time to catch their breath, auxiliary machine 042 suddenly issued a warning.
"Warning, the special individuals are Adam and Eve." Pod 153 added.
"Oh... this is a human being. How exciting."
An elegant and slightly magnetic male voice sounded out of nowhere, and then a figure appeared in front of everyone accompanied by golden light.
This is a young humanoid man with long white hair. He is wearing a well-fitting white shirt and a black scarf around his neck. His red eyes hidden by glasses reveal an excited look.
This gaze scanned Xia Yu back and forth, as if looking at a precious, noble and fragile item.
"Brother, is this the human you're interested in? Then let's just capture him."
Another male voice was heard along with a golden stream of light, and then a shirtless, short-haired young man appeared next to the young man.
The new young man looked at Xia Yu with his unruly eyes, but this time his eyes seemed very aggressive.
"Don't be rude, Eve, this is a noble human being."
The young man with long white hair bent down and performed the ancient European male aristocratic etiquette. His polite temperament was more human than human.
"Hello, noble human, my name is Adam, and this is my brother Eve. We are here especially for you."
The man named Adam said so.
