Mowu City, no man's land.
The wind and sand in the morning are relatively soft.
A thumb-sized cockroach sat on the top of a tall building, its feet firmly fixed on the blue-grey concrete surface of the roof to ensure that it would not be blown away by the wind on the roof.
He rubbed the two tentacles on his head with his hands.
This is a habit that is written into the program and is difficult to break.
"What are you thinking about?"
The second generation android Charlene sat aside.
She picked up the cockroach with her rusty right hand and carried it to her shoulder.
"I'm wondering if their plan really works?" Cockroach asked.
"It seems to be working so far. Many people in Mowu City have expressed their support for the awakened androids and hope to see peace come." Charlene replied.
"I always feel that the leaders of big organizations are not very smart. In order to support A12, they would actually formulate a plan to deal with the Lu Wen brothers."
"I told them that Lu Wen is also friendly to androids, but few people believe me."
At that early morning meeting, only Charlene went, not Cockroach.
So after learning about the plan made by the Blue Fifth Generation Ma Bo and others, Cockroach felt bad.
"I really envy Brother Lu Wen. Not only did he escape from that eerie place, but he also met someone like Xia Chuluo, who is now a second-level executive officer."
"Do you want to go back to Mowu City?" Sha Lin said with a smile: "With Lu Wen's current ability, it shouldn't be a problem to eliminate your charges and get a legal identity for you."
"No, no, he is still electing members. At this critical moment, nothing can go wrong."
Outside Mowu City.
A certain abandoned city.
The plan of the android organization alliance is still proceeding in an orderly manner.
The leaders of many android organizations gather together for meetings every day.
They are following the latest trends.
"Human parliamentary elections take too long. It takes so long to hold seats that change every two years. It's troublesome!" complained a burly leader of the organization.
"It is normal for political and economic activities to last for a long time. This is a characteristic of human society."
Under their plan, peace seems not far away.
More people believe that awakened androids are willing to achieve peace with humans.
After signing the treaty, the executive officers of each region no longer have to be busy chasing androids every day, and can spend more time serving ordinary people. Like they did a long time ago, they seriously study criminal investigation knowledge instead of being obsessed with weapons and firepower.
"No. 9 is just a little stubborn, but his starting point is still good."
Ma Bo sat in the first place, still thinking about Lu Wen.
"He is just lucky. He has won several victories against the Executive Bureau and found Yin Long's treasure. Ma Bo, my friend, don't take him too seriously." said a person on the other side.
"No, I always felt there was something different about him and us."
Ma Bo kept recalling his brief meeting with Lu Wen.
But I can't tell what's different.
"Anyway, our plan is almost successful. When the time comes, we will sign a peace treaty with Mowu City and invite No. 9 over when the time comes."
"I want to see the expression on his face then." Someone said.
The so-called 'time has come' here refers to the moment when Lu Wen became a member of the parliament.
The call for androids will reach a historical peak.
The alliance in the no-man's land will take the opportunity to propose a peace treaty and strike while the iron is hot.
…
…
Compared to the coming peace in Mowu City.
It's much more dangerous here in Baker City.
The morning light brought by dawn gradually made the city come alive.
The shops on the street opened one after another, and the rusty iron doors clanged against the walls.
Lu Wen was sitting in a very secret little shop in a certain alley.
"The metal embedded in your hand is not shrapnel, it is part of a certain modified human's accessory, but it was blown to pieces." The old man in charge of maintenance raised the monocle to let himself see more carefully.
"I know." Lu Wen replied.
"It's very pure blue blood. It was changed not long ago, right?" the old man asked.
"right."
"Let's see... your body has been modified to a great extent. Your right arm is so complicated. Did you replace the entire body with mechanical parts?"
"Well, I had a car accident before, so most of my body was replaced."
Baker City's overall attitude towards androids is hostile.
Therefore, when Lu Wen reveals his identity to anyone, he is claiming to be a reformer.
After all, he is half human.
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Alas, you young man, when you first came to Baker City, you killed an incredible man. The bounty, old man, made me excited. If I were ten years younger and could still beat you, I would definitely I will catch you and send you there." The old man sighed.
"Old man, actually you might not have been able to beat me ten years ago."
"Then twenty years... I think about the time when I was young, too... "
There is no end to the common problems of the elderly.
Lu Wen hurriedly stopped and asked: "Old man, do you think I killed an incredible person last night?"
"Yes, it's a big deal."
"Could he be the son or grandson of an underground organization boss?"
Lu Wenxun thought…
The younger one came and the older one came.
Such a cliche plot shouldn't happen to him.
"You guessed it right, there are nineteen very large underground organizations in Baker City, which control the entire city at night. Other organizations have to look at their faces to act." The old man picked up the metal tool on the side, "There is an organization The boss’s name is Jia Ren, and his child was blown to pieces by you last night.”
"Is it too much of a coincidence?" Lu Wen asked puzzledly: "Since it is a very large underground organization, when his children go out, they actually have so few people to protect them?"
The group of people last night were two factions.
The leader of one of the forces was obviously very logical. He didn't talk nonsense to Lu Wen, and everything he said and did was directed towards the goal.
That person looked professional at first sight.
Lu Wen recalled that maybe that guy was Jia Ren's son.
"Jia Ren has more than a hundred children, and the one who was killed last night was the one at the back." The old man explained.
"This is also... so lively."
Walking planter.
"Baker City is so chaotic, doesn't his child often get into trouble?" Lu Wen asked.
"Yes, the number has always been maintained at more than a hundred. It is enough to regenerate after death, but everyone who takes action on his children will have a miserable end." The old man used a tool to take out the metal piece bit by bit, " Especially at this point in time, you're just out of luck."
"At this point in time? What happened during this time?"
"A big thing."
The old man didn't rush to speak.
First take out the piece of metal, and then start to suture Lu Wen's wound.
It is said to be sutured, but in fact it is simply to use metal wire to fix the split parts.
"Fortunately, no major blood vessels were injured. Those materials have been in short supply recently." The old man raised his head and glanced at Lu Wen, "Your Mowu City is currently electing members of parliament. It has been a long time since the election, right?"
"right."
"It's earlier here in Baker City. The council election has ended. In addition to a bionic council member who made history, there is another modified human council member, who is also the first in history."
"Aren't there a lot of reformers here in Baker City?"
"There are many, but the previous congressmen were all pure humans. Many people believe that after those people turned themselves into monsters that merged flesh and machinery, their personalities may have changed and they were not suitable to become congressmen."
Baker City's parliamentary election has been over for more than half a month.
Just a week ago.
The reformer councilor is dead.
For such a big thing, it stands to reason that news should come out soon.
But I don’t know why, the information has been blocked tightly, and there is no public information.
"Later, rumors spread that it was the awakened androids in No Man's Land who had done it." The old man said, "But the android organization said it was not them."
Those androids.
From defensive at the beginning to angry at the end.
Quiet until now.
Their recent movements are a bit strange, and there seem to be signs of a large number approaching Baker City.
The relationship between the two parties is inherently disharmonious.
This kind of thing is still rumored.
Many androids felt that the humans in Baker City deliberately framed them just to find a reason for war.
As a third-party reformer, they are a little hesitant now.
Theoretically, the Cyborgs are all humans, but some of them have become machines, so they have to be extra careful when lining up.
"The population of Baker City is already small, and the number of troops is even more pitiful. It has been rotten for a long time. There are often reports of people selling weapons privately."
After the war eighty years ago, the ceiling of weapon power in the human world was suppressed to the extreme.
That weapon of mass destruction became legend.
Mowu City has complete firepower support. If it is a large-scale positional battle, they can seize air superiority from the beginning and ensure a complete firepower sweep.
So the androids outside Mowu City are very timid and just want peace.
But here in Baker City...it's hard to describe.
If a war really breaks out, someone might secretly sell weapons to the androids during the war.
"If those androids in No Man's Land really want to go to war with Baker City, there's no telling who will win." The old man sighed.
At his age.
My only thought is to live the rest of my life well.
"So Baker City is very dangerous at this time. A war may break out at any time, and bionics may invade on a large scale. You, a young man, didn't know how to investigate thoroughly before you came here." The old man said, "Now that I have provoked those underground organizations, I If it were you, go back to Mowu City as soon as possible."
"Yes, I understand. Thank you, old man."
Lu Wen looked at the bandaged wound and moved a bit.
Nothing serious.
Going back is impossible.
Dr. Jiang has not been found yet.
There was one more thing he needed to figure out next.
"Who spread the news that I am a foreigner?"
If it weren't for that young man last night.
Then there is only one goal.
The signal point in Lu Wen's mind was still flashing. For two days, the red-haired girl did not notice that there was a tracking device under her shoes.
"It's not too far from here."
