Chapter 54 Entering the Oily Swamp
Before dawn, the daughters were awake.
After returning to the car and eating something, He Mu drove to continue driving south.
After driving on the open metal plain for about two or three days, we finally approached the oily swamp.
As we approach the oily swamp, the outside environment gradually becomes different.
I occasionally encountered various machines in the past.
Whether patrol or cleaning, teams are orderly.
When approaching the oily swamp, the traces of the machine squad gradually disappeared.
All kinds of waste metals outside were piled up at will.
Moreover, the waste metal is covered with thick oil stains, which looks like an old factory. All kinds of processed waste materials are piled up and discarded at random. The metal occasionally leaks out from the oil stains are also rusted.
Keep moving forward and start to smell some pungent odor
It's not a foul smell, but it smells very pungent.
It's like a kind of oil mixed with rotten substances, and the sourness and smell are mixed together.
In order not to let his daughter smell too much, He Mu asked his daughters to wear helmets.
Breathe with the internal circulation of the exoskeleton mecha.
This naturally makes the girls feel uncomfortable.
But I can't be sure if the pungent smell is dangerous, or if I don't want my daughter to take risks with me.
After walking for about a day or two, the car arrived at the edge of the oily swamp.
From a distance, the road ahead is covered with dark and greasy.
It feels like a sticky mud.
It seems that as long as you step into it, you may fall into it.
He Mu stopped the car and began to hesitate in his heart, not knowing whether he should go in.
At the moment of stopping, the robot Xiaoguang on the car suddenly made a sound from the main brain.
“You have arrived at the periphery of the oily swamp, and you need to be reminded that
My will descends to this swamp, and may be delayed.
That is to say, once you enter this swamp, I will not be able to provide you with any protection as soon as possible.
Everything you have to do after entering depends on you.
If there is a crisis, you also need to delay enough time.
Otherwise, I will not be able to come to help you as soon as possible.
Whether to enter or not depends on your own choice.”
The main brain's meaning is very clear. He could hardly interfere directly with the matter in this oily swamp.
The will of the master's brain cannot be directly controlled.
Don't know what's inside?
He Mu was really hesitant and turned his head to look at his daughters.
Shouldn't you bring your two daughters in?
When the two girls sensed something when they noticed their father's gaze.
"Dad, we're going together."
"Ha, dad is not allowed to leave us."
Sure enough, the two girls were determined to go together and didn't want to be left behind by their father again.
Moreover, He Mu was not at ease to leave his two daughters outside.
It is already far from the base, and it will take many days to go back.
He Mu still worried about whether the master's brain would be detrimental to his daughter.
He nodded to his daughter with a smile: "Okay, okay, dad will definitely not leave you behind. This time, no matter where we go, we will go together, but it will be very dangerous to go in. You must be obedient."
The two girls immediately assured their father.
"Xinxin promises that she will definitely listen to her father."
"Ha, Xuanxuan also promises."
Then the two girls stretched out their little fingers together.
He Mu also smiled and stretched out his fingers.
"Hanging the hook for a hundred years will not change..."
After typing, He Mu reached out and tapped the robot Xiaoguang's head.
"Master, don't forget our agreement."
"I am the master's brain, and the agreement I have made will not violate it."
Seeing that the master's brain had agreed, He Mu nodded and then started the car again.
The armored tiger slowly drove onto the oil-filled road.
The moment you enter the oily swamp, the will of the main brain disappears instantly.
The robot Xiaoguang was stunned for a while.
"Xiao Guang is on standby, and it feels really bad to be occupied by his head."
Xinxin reached out and touched the robot's head.
"Be good at Xiao Guangguang, don't worry, dad will defeat that bad-brained person sooner or later."
Xuanxuan also reached out and touched the robot's head.
"Ha, right, Xiao Guangguang will not be occupied by the brain at that time."
The robot Xiaoguang enjoys the girls' touching.
"Okay, then please come on."
The robot Xiaoguang directly repeated the girls' names, which made He Mu a little amused.
Xinxin immediately corrected: "Oh, Xiao Guangguang can't call him dad."
Xuanxuan said a little domineeringly: "Ha, it's Xinxin's father and I, not Xiao Guangguang."
However, the robot didn't understand this very much, so he turned his head and looked at He Mu, and asked a little puzzled: "Then what should I call you? What should Xiao Guang call you?"
He Mu thought about it and replied: "Just call me my name, He Mu."
"Okay He Mu."
"He Mu asked you to slow down. There is danger in the 500 meters ahead."
Hearing this sentence, He Mu quickly braked.
Fortunately, there was an early warning in advance, otherwise I would have rushed over at full speed.
The moment the car stopped, I saw a viscous oil pond not far ahead.
Let’s look at the traces left by the mobile factory on the ground, and they were clearly passing by directly.
"Is that little bug crazy? It actually drove over directly?"
"According to the depth of the oil pond, mobile factories can pass through, but your armored tiger cannot pass through, so you need to take a detour. It is recommended to take a detour from the left, which will save half the distance."
The route suggestions given by Xiaoguang really surprised He Mu.
But I still chose to believe in the robot.
Turn the front of the car, slowly drove forward, and drove along the edge of the oil pond.
The two girls were curious about everything here.
The surroundings are not made of shiny metal like they are outside.
It was all dark, with dark and greasy covering the metal surface, as if even the sky above the head had turned black.
"Dad, why does it seem dark here?"
"Ha, is it dark?"
While driving, He Mu explained to his daughters: "This place is covered with oil stains. The oil stains are too thick, so they look dark. You look up and see, it's not dark yet."
The two girls looked up at the distant sky and found that it was indeed not dark.
However, when the girl looked up, a ball of oil suddenly dripped from her head.
"Oh, dad, be careful, something is dripping."
"Ha, hurry up and avoid it."
Xuanxuan shouted while raising the gun in her hand.
He Mu reached out and pressed Xuanxuan's muzzle.
This place is covered with oil and dirty, and it is really a fire. Even if it will ignite everything, it will be even more dangerous to be trapped in the sea of fire at that time.
"You should be careful. The oil stains outside are easily ignited, so we try not to use guns or fire up the oil stains, otherwise we may be in danger."
After hearing what his father said, Xinxin turned around and asked Xuanxuan to put away the gun.
Seeing his daughter obediently put away the gun, she quickly twisted the front of the car to avoid the dripping oil.
Avoiding the dripping oil and continuing to drive the armored vehicle, suddenly I heard a strange sound in the oil pond next to me.
"Gudu Gudu" accompanied by strange sounds, He Mu and his daughter soon saw that a guy covered in black oil slowly emerged from the viscous oil pond.
