Cyber ​​Heroes

Chapter 1 Rusty Homo sapiens

"Kangdang! Bangdang! Bangdang..."

Accompanied by a series of crisp metal sounds, Yuki, a boy dragging a large pile of scrap iron behind him, ran happily on the street, saying to everyone: "I have a father! I have a father!"

Most of the residents of Recycle Bin Town watched this scene with a smile——specially noted, it was a ridicule.Yuki's biological father died many years ago due to lithium germs invading the biological brain, leaving behind a woman and seven children.

In order to support her seven children, the woman had to sell her spine, cerebellum, and pons for a construction machine.The reason why Recycle Bin Town is called Recycle Bin Town is because a garbage dump from the "Sublimation War" era was dug out here, and the people in the whole town lived on the resources of the garbage dump.There are some things like alloys from the sublimation war era to be transported to the city, and there is a great demand for transport volume.

After women become construction machinery, they no longer have the hands and feet to take care of children.Among the seven children, four died of illness one after another, and one was taken away by the tax collector as a gene tax to maintain the diversity of the human gene pool.The eldest son went to the city early to seek a living, leaving only the youngest son.He has been bullied since childhood.

Most of the residents have little interest in Yuki's "new dad".Only a few children carelessly pushed Yuki.Yuki's body fell to the ground with a loud "clank"—a characteristic of cheap prosthetics.

"Haha... a bastard without a father, where is your father? Huh? Let me see it?"

The older child in the lead laughed loudly.

Yuki snorted and raised his head in his arms: "Look! This is my new father!"

It was a... very, very miserable head.His celestial cap has completely disappeared, and the edge of his metal skull is still twisted, as if it has been ravaged by great force.Inside is a scorched black mass, which seems to be some melted residue, making people wonder if the biological brain is still there.He should have had a layer of bionic skin before, but now there is only a metal shell left, and the eyeballs are housed by metal eyelids.A chunk of the mandible was also missing.

The big boy was stunned for a moment, and then burst into a loud laugh: "Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! This is a dead head! Ha ha ha! It really matches you! Dead head! Wild species... ha ha ha!"

"It's not a dead head!" The boy was very angry: "He's still alive! As long as you give him a little water, his eyeballs can still move!"

"Hahahahahaha... that's too sweet! A dead head!" Now, the older boy didn't even have the interest to bully Yuki.He laughed wildly and waved his hand, signaling Yuki to get out of here.

Yuki hugged that...or that half head, and ran quickly towards the house.

He had found the head deep in the dump.He accidentally dug into a new soft zone—it was some kind of cushioning structure of the battleship, and polymer nano-cushioning materials were still valuable in this era.The head just lay there.He thought it was relatively rare garbage, so he was very happy for a while.But when he left the garbage dump, he accidentally dropped his head into a puddle of sewage.

Then, he saw the head's eyeballs move.

"I will definitely fix you!" the boy said to his head, "This way I will have a father."

……

--I……

The man had a dream, a dream about "martial arts".

In the dream, the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword.

Vector injectors, steel rods, ship-chopping knives, Vulcan cannons, wireless signal receivers...

Each one is a good weapon that shocks the past and shines today.

Mobile steps, subduing demon sticks, battleship tactics, gun locks, cloud dragon hacking methods...

Each one is a resounding good martial art.

--what……

Consciousness returned to the physical body.He opened his eyes, the world in front of him was swaying, and everything was in fluctuation.

"You child... why did you soak this head in water? You also put copper sugar in it? You can't eat enough by yourself..."

"Mom! Look! Look! His eyelids are really moving!"

"Huh? Really moving?"

"So I have a new dad!"

"We can't keep this dead head..."

"mom!"

There appeared to be a quarrel.

Then, there was the sound of a car starting.

"Okay, okay, I'll ask the mayor to come and take a look."

Inexplicable dialogue.

Men's thinking is unsustainable.

So, he fell into a deep sleep again.

But this time, he had a nightmare.

Countless fists clashed.He can't remember the way.

Then... a cyber prosthesis with a body of five meters... one... one...

"Yawg..." the man gritted his teeth.

"What are you talking about? Is that your name?"

Unexpectedly, another voice spoke up.

The man opened his eyes.What came into view was a wrinkled face.This face seemed to be original, the upper part of the head was replaced with a machine, and a lens-like cylinder grew out of the eye socket.

The man was a little surprised: "Who are you?"

"The mayor of Recycle Bin Town." The old man smiled: "Who are you? 'Yog', is that your name?"

The man thought for a moment.But unexpectedly, the mind went blank.

"I am me……"

The man wants to shake his head.But at this moment, he realized that he seemed to have only one head left.This discovery startled the man.He had no choice but to answer: "I shouldn't be called that name...'Yog' is not my name."

"However, this is the first word you yelled after waking up." The mayor pondered for a moment: "Then, for the sake of convenience, why not call you 'Yoge'?"

The man hesitated for a moment, trying to nod.But he found that he still couldn't nod his head now.He could only say: "For the time being... how about this?"

Although something in the back of his mind cries loudly, reminding him that there is definitely something deep about this name... definitely not his name.Even if he forgot himself, he must never forget this name... But he just couldn't think of why.

Yuki jumped up: "Mayor, mayor! Could my dad be an old-time warrior? The super powerful one!"

The man was startled...he couldn't move: "I have a son?"

"No, no, no, you picked it up." The mayor explained a few words, and then said: "Father and everything are the child's thoughts, and he lacks... the necessary care."

"Mayor!" Yuki stomped his feet: "You haven't said yes yet!"

"Hehe... This garbage dump was excavated 50 years ago. The 'Sublimation War' was even earlier. It is impossible for brain cells to live that long." The mayor wanted to explain a few words, but Finding that Yuki didn't understand at all, he could only shake his head.

"Should it be the garbage from the city a few months ago?" From outside the window, an unusually mechanical voice came in.

The sound was almost noise, shaking the glass.The man rolled his eyes and saw a truck parked outside the window...

That vehicle should be called a truck?Men do see huge cargo buckets.But the front of the car is so small that it is impossible to fit a person into it.On the front of the car, a camera was watching the man.

It was only then that the man realized that he...or his head was lying on a bed with a large lamp on top of his head.The lamp should have been brought by the village chief, and its wires are directly inserted into the socket on the village chief's neck.

And this bed is facing the window.

"Yulia sold her spine, cerebellum, and pons to raise money for her child's medical treatment, and then used the rest of the money to buy construction machinery." The mayor pointed to the door: "This way I earn more money than before. It’s a bit too much, but this kind of body can’t enter the house, so I can only arrange the room like this.”

The man was a little taken aback.

He vaguely felt that... humans shouldn't be like this.This is not what people should be like.

Yuki looked at the mayor expectantly.The mayor thought for a moment: "Maybe he was really a character before? Maybe he was an athlete?"

"Wow!" Yuki exclaimed in surprise.

The man is still confused.

"Okay, it must be tiring to think like this?" The mayor turned to the man and shook his head: "I still have a driver chip here, which was just replaced by my grandson-I don't know what you have experienced before, but you All the equipment on the outside of the biological brain was burned, and there are only a few components left. Fortunately, your brain-computer barrier is very reliable..." The mayor pressed his hand on the man's head: "I cleaned it for you, it seems that there are still a few components left. Replace it with a usable interface for you!"

Only then did the man realize that he seemed to have only half a head, no tongue, and a sound generator directly connected to his mouth.

——Why is such an important matter now... Ah!

A feeling of electric shock.

【Discover new equipment】

【Installing necessary drivers】

New signals race through the nerves.

--This feeling……

The man suddenly felt that his body was "alive".

My only body suddenly came alive!

"Without the assistance of the driver chip, it is difficult for the biological brain to control the prosthetic body... I think your eyesight is good, maybe it is quite valuable. Think about it? Sell it to me, and I can make you a prosthetic body."

The man wanted to shake his head again.He quickly denied it: "No, thank you for your kindness. But I think... Maybe there are clues about my past in my eyes. I don't want to change it yet."

The mayor shook his head: "Then there are no free prosthetic bodies..."

Yuki jumped up: "I can find it in the trash!"

"It's not that easy." The mayor shook his head with his hands behind his back, and left.

Yuki jumped up: "Bah! I can find..."

"Okay!" Yulia's horn sounded solemnly.Yuki immediately shut up.

In the evening, Yuki fell asleep with his arms around the man's head.

Outside the window, Yulia's camera focused on the man.Men don't seem to be able to sleep at all.

——What is this "Yog" thinking?

Yulia couldn't help being a little curious.She doesn't have the embarrassment of many women in the old era.Now except for the biological brain, the rest of her body is made of steel.With such a body, why is there any need to be shy?

She only has one wish now, and that is to watch Yuki grow up, put on a good prosthetic body, and then...then...

She couldn't imagine the future either.

That's why she didn't insist on Yuki throwing away the head.Perhaps the child would be happier that way.

However, it is impossible for their family to buy a prosthetic body, no matter how cheap it is.All the money will be used to replace Yuki with a prosthetic body.In a few years, Yuki's biological part would exceed the maximum limit of a child's prosthesis.

But adult prosthetics are expensive.

Sometimes, Yulia wants to sell her temporal lobe and frontal lobe again.But she heard people say that people who sell their temporal and frontal lobes are no longer human beings, but just machines.

Being a machine is no big deal.But if she can't love Yuki, can she still work?

We must save money quickly!

I hope this dead head can work in the future!

Think of it as repaying Yuki for saving him.

The man also saw Yulia's eyes.To be honest, the "eyes" of this kind of camera always make him feel a little uncomfortable, and he doesn't know why.

That's not all that made him uncomfortable.Now, the name "Yog" has temporarily become his synonym.But this made him feel very wrong.

In this darkness, he finally determined one thing.

The real master of the name "Jog," absolutely, absolutely, was his enemy.

A sworn enemy.

——I am... a rebel...

—I'm resisting... what?
