Winter, trench, It snowed a few days ago.
There were lots of Christmas trees and candles in the trench.
The soldiers sat around in the trench. There was a table with some biscuits and wine. Human soldiers were talking.
A medical robot soldier crawled across the middle of the battlefield, toward the trench of human soldiers.
Human soldiers heard something, stopped chatting, looked nervous.
Two human soldiers leaned out of the trench, explored the battlefield with a high-powered telescope.
The crawling robot soldier turned over into a crater.
The human soldiers didn't see anything unusual.
Human soldiers relaxed, continued their chat. A soldier was holding a bottle of wine and looked a little drunk.
The medical robot soldier in the crater took out a controller, stretched the antenna, pointed at the human trench, and pressed the button on the controller.
The bottle soldier stopped talking, heard something, he tried hard to hear what it was. "Did you hear the music?"
The other soldiers were still talking, "You're drunk."
Bottle soldier, "I did hear it. It's the music." The other soldiers did not respond to him and were still chatting.
The bottle soldier hummed the song "Edelweiss".
The chatting soldier quieted down and listened to the song. The commander asked the soldier sitting beside him, "Did you hear the music?"
The soldier, "The music has been playing for a while, and I thought it was a hallucination."
The commander motioned to the soldier, the soldier leaned out of the trench, explored the battlefield with a high-powered telescope.
The medical robot soldier in the crater was holding the controller and listening to the faint song from the human trench.
The soldier with the bottle continued to sing louder and louder.
The soldier leaning out of the trench, didn't see anything unusual.
Some soldiers hummed songs with the bottle soldier, more and more soldiers hummed songs together.
The medical robot soldier in the crater heard the song from the human trench. Smiled.
In the display screen in the control room, the medical robot soldier in the crater held the controller, were listening to the song from the human trench. There was a Logo on the top left of the display screen, with words "Central Powers&Entente Powers Samsara Program"
Several robots and human workers were sitting in front of the display screen, checking the data parameters on the small holographic screen in front of them.
A robot took a human scientist into the room and walked to the staff. "Did you say that the music code should not appear on the battlefield?"
The staff"The medical robot broke away from the program script and played music on the battlefield."
The scientist"Have you tried the super command to restore control?"
The staff"I tried, it didn't work."
The scientist checked the data parameters on the holographic screen.
On the other side of the battlefield, a lot of robot soldiers were sitting in the trench, there were lots of Christmas trees and candles in the trench. Robot soldiers heard the song from the human trench, more and more robot soldiers hummed songs together.
In the display screen in the control room, robot soldiers hummed songs.
The scientist who was checking the data parameters, "Super command doesn't work, more and more robot lost control, we should try to turn off the music first."
The scientist ordered the staff "Locate and lock the channel"
Staff 1" Channel 1 Locked"
Staff 2" Channel 2 Locked"
Staff 3" Channel 3 Locked"
The progress bar on the screen in front of the scientist ended. The scientist pressed the shutdown command.

The robot with the telescope, "Don't shoot, the human soldier didn't take weapons, it was a wine bottle in his hand."
The figure in the sniper mirror, wobbled and sang, walking towards the trench of the robot soldiers.
The human soldier who was exploring the battlefield with the telescope, turned around to the soldier in the trench, "Robots didn't shoot."

In the trench of robot soldiers, all the robot soldiers raised their guns a little bit.
The robot soldier who was exploring the battlefield with the telescope, said to the sniper robot, "prepare to shoot."
In the sniper mirror, it was the bottle soldier who was standing still.
In the Control room, the scientist saw the words on the display screen, "Virtual human code forced cleanup succeed."
The staff "That is the only female medical robot script."
The scientist, "In Samsara, all program scripts must be consistent with the prediction algorithm."
The bottle soldier looked at the empty crater, then he looked at the robot soldier trench.
The bottle soldier turned around, looked at the human soldier trench, took another sip of wine.
