There were still no street lights on the street, and the cars around had no headlights at all. ←Everyone is too poor to use light bulbs—Ronggui thought to himself.
Then, a light suddenly appeared in front of him.
The white light, like the sun at night, suddenly appeared in front of Ronggui, and he suddenly couldn't see anything for a while.
But before he could panic, Xiaomei's voice suddenly came from next door: "It's not a malfunction. Because of the sudden appearance of the light source, it takes a certain amount of time to switch the viewing mode."
Although it was a little confusing, Ronggui firmly understood that this was a normal phenomenon.
Sure enough, about thirty seconds later, he could suddenly "see" things again!
There was a subtle difference in the texture of the scene he "saw" before. It was not as clear as before, but the dark light and shadow were clear. This... This was almost what he could see before!
Ronggui was a little excited.
Almost greedily looking at the scene in front of him, his sight finally fell to the front—also the starting point of the light source.
The lights came from the top of several buildings in front. There were five tall and thin buildings that looked a bit like chimneys. These "chimneys" stood in the middle of the convoy in front. The architectural style was very similar to the vehicle management office he had seen before. Ronggui guessed that the functions of the two were similar, and they should be public institutions.
Probably similar to a toll booth?
Soon, he thought he guessed right.
Although the convoy moved slowly, it was also moving forward in an orderly manner. Soon it was their turn.
Driving the Dahuang, Xiaomei drove the car to a chimney. The window of the chimney happened to be on the left, and Ronggui was sitting on the left side of the car. Ronggui just happened to face the staff there.
The woman inside was wearing the same ugly uniform of the same color and style as the man in the vehicle management office before, with an equally ugly tie, but the hat on her head was different - her hat was much smaller and more unique.
I don't know if the difference is caused by different types of work or different genders.
However, it was precisely because of the exquisiteness of the hat that Ronggui saw the cat ears on the other person's head at a glance.
Uh... is it an ornament?
Ronggui was stunned.
Just at this moment, the other person spoke to him:
"I need to check the pass, please show it."
The other person's accent was still a little different from the language that Ronggui was fed by Xiaomei, but fortunately he could understand it.
But! They don't have a pass! ! !
Will they be arrested? Ronggui immediately became nervous.
"We don't have a pass, where do we need to apply for it?" Just when Ronggui didn't know what to do, Xiaomei spoke.
Ahhhh~ Is this so practical?
Ronggui was a little crazy.
But he didn't know what a better way was, so he could only add a few words weakly beside him: "That... we just came out of our hometown in the countryside, and we don't know what a pass is, and we don't know that we need to apply for a pass..."
Xiaomei is okay, after all, she is a native of the local area, but he is not! He is an illegal resident! He hasn't died for so long... It sounds like he has great research value. Won't he be caught and sliced?
After watching a lot of Frankenstein movies, Ronggui's thoughts immediately diverged to the bad side.
"Oh, it doesn't matter if you don't have it. Just apply for it here. A pass costs 10 Nabi."
As the staff member said, he stretched out his hand from the window. Ronggui looked at Xiaomei, and Xiaomei took out two coins from the pocket under the seat. Ronggui took the coins and handed them over. The other party took the coins and soon handed out two round objects from inside.
"Is this the pass?" When Ronggui took the pass, he was still a little confused: Is it so easy to get a pass? You don't even need to fill in your name and place of origin? You don't even need to collect fingerprints and blood?
Uh... well, they are both robots now, and there is no need to collect fingerprints and blood.
"Yes, but since you only have the most basic pass, the initial score is 1. In this way, you can't go to other places, you can only go to Euni City."
"Hey? Does this lead to many cities?" Ronggui immediately heard the hidden meaning in the other party's words.
"Yes, different points correspond to the level of cities you can go to. There are a total of three roads leading to cities here, but due to your points, you can only go to Euni, which has the lowest score requirement."
"Ah! It sounds like a very free city!" Although he was told that he had only one choice, this did not prevent Ronggui from imagining and yearning for the other party.
For a moment, the little robot actually revealed a sense of fantasy.
Euni... "city"!
Ronggui crossed his hands in front of his chest.
"Haha, yes, a very free... Mineral City." The other party said one more sentence after being amused by Ronggui's appearance.
"Uh..." He seemed to hear the word mineral?
"Okay, please follow the road sign in front to Euni." A lot of time had been wasted, and the other party ordered him to leave.
At the same time, the road sign in front lit up. Ronggui took a closer look at the words on the road sign, which were exactly the words of Pladen.
There were two other roads next to them, with other words written on the signs above, but unfortunately the road signs were not lit at this moment, so Ronggui could not see them.
Just after they drove into the road to Euni, several cars drove onto the two roads whose names Ronggui could not see clearly before. Turning around and leaning on the seat back, Ronggui tried to look at the road sign a few more times. When he still couldn't see it clearly, Ronggui finally sat back in his seat and continued to pedal step by step.
"That's great! Xiaomei, we're going to the city soon~" Although he was a little worried about the other party's comments on Eoni, Ronggui still encouraged himself to comfort Xiaomei: "The staff just now seemed to say that Eoni is a mineral city. It seems that the place is rich in resources~"
"Our Dahuang is so pitiful, Xiaomei, when we get there, you have to find some good materials to exchange for good energy~"
"Of course, I will help you find it."
"It's really strange, why are people not surprised by our current appearance?"
"But, I don't know Dao Xiaomei, did you see that the staff girl just now was wearing cat ears? These staff are very fancy~ They change their ties and wear animal ears and so on... It seems that everyone is very fashionable! "
"Should we buy cat ears and wear them after entering the city to improve our fashion sense?"
It doesn't matter if no one pays attention to him. Ronggui alone is responsible for the conversation in the car. He chats to himself, while Xiaomei keeps steering steadily. After driving for another two hours, the two small robots sitting on Dahuang finally stop in front of a city.
Pushing open the car door, Ronggui got out of the car behind Xiaomei, walked to Xiaomei's side, and looked at the city in front of him. Ronggui didn't say anything for a long time.
This is a city full of light. There are countless light sources in the sky that illuminate the entire city as if it were daytime, almost like daytime.
However, for Ronggui, who has really seen the daytime, this is a very "fake" daytime.
The white light was abnormal, and the city hidden under the light was a cold black metal.
Ronggui heard the sound of a huge mechanical engine accompanied by various knocking sounds coming from the city ahead.
At the same time, he heard another voice——
"Reminder, the metal pollutant index in the air exceeds the standard, and the following indexes are played..."
It was Da Huang's voice. For some reason, Da Huang's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
Ronggui was startled, but soon figured out that it was probably Xiaomei who did it.
Because he still couldn't get used to this robot's body, he often missed some important changes in vital signs. Ronggui asked Xiaomei to help him think of a way. Xiaomei made an extra reminder, but it hadn't been used after it was made. Today, it seems that this small modification is quite successful, but Xiaomei is very lazy. The reminder sound actually uses the same version of Da Huang's sound source. .
Ronggui's first reaction was to find a mask, but soon, he saw his robot hand. Although he was still a little uncomfortable, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
The robot's body should not be afraid of air pollution, right?
Metal, machinery, and a strong light without a trace of warmth - just these few things, people would never think this is a friendly city.
"But... this city is very manly, right?" Even in this case, Ronggui still helped E'ni find an adjective that sounded good.
"The country bumpkin in front! Get out of the way!" At this moment, a horn suddenly sounded behind him. Turning his head, Ronggui found that a car had stopped behind him.
Unlike Xiaomei, who was standing in a remote place, he was standing in a bit of a way because he wanted to see the city in front of him in all directions. Although he was indeed wrong, the other party's attitude was indeed very bad. After speaking, the other party drove forward.
This was aimed at Ronggui!
At present, it was just a robot made of simple materials. Ronggui's reaction was not quick at all. He was so scared that he sat on the ground.
Fortunately, the other party seemed to just want to scare him and stopped before hitting him.
A rude laugh came from the car.
He was still a little angry, but Ronggui suppressed it.
Slowly standing up, Ronggui made way, fearing that Xiaomei would do something inappropriate. He kept holding Xiaomei, and then said to Xiaomei earnestly: "This is the first time we have arrived in a strange place. We are unfamiliar with the place. It is better not to cause trouble if we can."
"I was not very calm when I first entered the city before I fell asleep. People said that I had a fight with them. As a result, I was beaten up by the helpers brought by the other party at night, and all the money on my body was robbed. In the end, I had no choice but to find a job casually after being fooled by others." He introduced his experience.
"But-" Ronggui changed his voice and said: "I still feel very unhappy. I remember the appearance of their car. When I see me later, I will secretly puncture his car's tire."
A very boring way of revenge-looking at Ronggui holding her hand, Xiaomei pulled her hand out, got back in the car, and he started the car again.
