343. Tatooine's boy (Part 2)
In the evening, Johnson walked along the smelly roads in this slum. Although most of the surrounding residents knew him, the terrifying shape of the metal skull still kept the area a few meters around him clean.
Johnson knew that the place where Otto lived was in the alley at the other end of the street. It took about seven or eight turns, but it had no effect at all on him who had already entered the map of the entire area into the database.
As he walked into the alley, the sound of several people chatting was captured by his sound sensor.
"Have you heard? Otto was killed!"
"What's going on? Who did he mess with?"
"Tokta from the north of the city, that Nikto. Otto competed with Tokta for a smashed E-5 Blaster rifle, but the angry Tokta broke his neck!"
"Otto is he crazy? At noon, I saw him trying to grab the things that boy Anakin picked up! He really didn't want his life. That robot Anakin is called Rock-Johnson. Is this something that can be messed with?"
"You don't know this, right? Otto's brother broke his leg a few days ago. He was supposed to be able to walk with a splint and rest for a few months. But last night his brother was infected and has been suffering from a high fever, and Otto Homeworld has nothing to buy medicine for."
"Shh! Keep your voice down! Look, Johnson is here!"
Johnson Look back and move on. When he came to a dark house, he turned on the thermal imaging sensor and found a human-shaped heat source lying inside the house, so he opened the door and went in.
Otto's brother was lying on the bed. He was extremely weak and his body was twitching from time to time. It was obvious that he was not far from death.
"Brother, brother, are you back... water... I want to drink water." He opened his chapped lips and whispered. If it weren't for the sensitive sensor of Johnson, this sound would be basically inaudible to ordinary people.
Johnson looked around, and his electronic eyes fixed on a jar of water at the foot of the wall. The scan concluded that the microorganisms seriously exceeded the standard, and drinking it would only make him die faster. So he turned around and went out, went to a nearby room, picked up a can of water without any explanation and left.
Feed the water to brother Otto. He drank almost all the water in the bottle. Only then did he regain a little strength and whispered, "You are not my brother, who are you?"
Johnson put the energy transmission device in his hand and said, "Your brother was injured and is being treated. This is what he got from scavenging today. The intact energy transmission device, although only half of it, should be enough for your diet for the next week."
Otto The younger brother fumbled and grasped the energy transmission device tightly, holding it in his arms as if it were the most precious treasure. His vision was severely damaged and he was almost blind. "Thank you... thank you... thank you."
As he said this, his tears kept flowing down like broken pearls, and he could already feel it.
"If there is nothing else, then I'm leaving." Johnson stood up and walked out the door.
His voice of thanks continued to be heard in the room. Johnson turned his head 180 degrees, looked at the dark room, and said, "Farewell."
Back to Homeworld, Anakin-Skywalker has opened the shell on the back of the humanoid robot's head and is soldering in some circuits obtained today to adapt to the chip. When he heard that Johnson was back, he asked without looking back, "Did you give anything to Otto?"
Johnson came to Anakin and replied, "The things have been given to him, and then he moved away with his brother."
"Thank you, Johnson." Anakin showed a pure smile, "No matter what the result is, thank you."
"There is a problem with the welding of circuit No. 4 on the left. You need to re-solder it." Johnson glanced at Anakin's work results and pointed to a place.
"Ah, I didn't pay attention."
One person and one robot stood together in harmony like this, working together to repair their hard work over the past few years - a robot repaired with parts found in scavengers.
At night, Johnson sat on the roof, staring at everything around him sleeplessly, keeping watch for the mother and son.
Suddenly, there was a slight noise inside the house, and then Anakin climbed up, and he also sat next to Johnson.
"You should go to sleep." Johnson said.
"Tatoo II's light is a bit bright tonight, so I can't sleep very well." Anakin said.
Johnson looked at the dim star in the sky and said, "Let me help you cover the window with that thing."
"No, Johnson. I just want to see..." Anakin stared at the sky blankly, "What kind of place is it in space?"
"Vacuum, darkness, cold, no gravity. Ordinary people will die within a few seconds if they go up there." Johnson said.
Anakin shook his head and asked, "So, are there angels in the sky?"
"Where did you get this term?" Johnson asked.
"That retired pilot uncle told me that on the distant Igo Satellite, there are the most beautiful creatures in the universe, which are angels, the kind of very beautiful and kind-hearted big sisters." Anakin looked at the sky with great longing.
"There are no angels in the sky, but if you continue sailing, you will go to other planets. There are also people living on those planets, and maybe they are looking in your direction now." Johnson said.
Anakin closed his eyes, "I... seem to feel it... but it's so blurry..."
"This is just your illusion." Johnson said.
"I hope that one day, I can also drive a spaceship and fly in the sky. I want to fly to every corner of the universe, and I want to see this universe... It's a pity, Benny said that people like us will never have a spaceship of our own, and no one is willing to take us away." Anakin was a little frustrated.
"Since we can complete the ceremonial robot C-3PO today, we can also build a spaceship tomorrow, I confirm." Johnson said.
"I've been thinking, you shouldn't have made it on Tatooine, right? Johnson. Did the story you told me, the three major natural disasters, really happen?" Anakin asked.
"My database was damaged and most of the data was lost, including my codes. But if I can repair the communicator in my body, I may be able to find some clues." Johnson pointed to a depression on his head, "As for Void Demons, Purification Protocol and High-Dimensional Invasion, the labels in my remaining database are historical categories. So, maybe this really happened."
Anakin looked at the vast sky again and fell into silence again.
I don't know how long it took, but he fell into a deep sleep. Johnson gently picked him up, climbed down from the roof, put him on the bed, and then sat quietly next to Anakin all night.
