35 THE HAZE

CHAPTER 35 THE HAZE Clickety clickety click! Roz kept clicking, but no echoes had bounced back in nearly a day. There must have been nothing else around. She swam on through the ocean in total darkness, in total emptiness. Our robot had never felt so alone. But she wasn't alone. A gentle current started flowing upward as a glowing haze rose from the depths. The haze was made of countless specks of light, all traveling together. One of the specks passed by Roz's face. She adjusted her vision and saw that it was a tiny glowing creature, no bigger than a grain of sand. A swarm of them was floating through the deep ocean. The robot searched through her computer brain and found words like plankton and bioluminescence. Tiny plants and animals floated throughout the world's oceans, and many of them glowed softly. Roz realized she was never really alone. Living things were everywhere. She simply had to look for them.

第三十五章雾霾咔嗒咔嗒！罗兹不停地咔哒咔哒，但将近一天没有回音了。 周围一定没有别的东西了。 她在一片漆黑、一片空虚的海洋中继续游着。 我们的机器人从未感到如此孤独。 但她并不孤单。一股温和的水流开始向上流动，一股发光的薄雾从深处升起。 雾是由无数的光斑组成的，它们一起移动。 其中一个斑点从罗兹的脸上擦过。 她调整了一下视力，发现那是一个发光的小生物，还没有一粒沙子大。 一大群鱼在深海中漂浮。 机器人在她的电脑大脑中搜索，找到了浮游生物和生物发光等词。 微小的植物和动物漂浮在世界的海洋中，其中许多发出柔和的光。 罗兹意识到她从来都不是一个人。 到处都是生物。 她只需要自己去寻找。

The robot continued on, swimming through those points of light like she was in the night sky, and the stars were all around.

机器人继续前进，穿过那些光点，就像她在夜空中一样，周围都是星星。
