Mowu City.
District 13.
Wu Yu escorted a fleeing prisoner back to the General Office of the Enforcement Bureau and prepared to register.
His eyes were bloodshot.
The consequences of abolition of the death penalty will be an increase in prisons and prisoners.
The final count over the past two days was that the number of prisoners who escaped during the fire had reached 79, and all capable executive officers had joined the pursuit.
If it were an era before the abolition of the death penalty, 80% of the more than 400 inmates in this high-level prison would not have appeared here, but would have been shot shortly after the verdict was announced.
Wu Yu is the most positive one, a workaholic.
But he seemed to be in pretty good spirits.
"Have you paid off the loan you owed while studying?"
Lu Wen was also in the executive bureau. Seeing Wu Yu's energetic look, he couldn't help but ask.
"Adding this, it's all over."
Wu Yu patted the fugitive in front of him.
The system of the Executive Board is very special. The monthly salary is composed of basic salary and remuneration. In fact, each executive is more like a bounty hunter in those novels.
It's just that they are more organized than hunters who go it alone.
The basic salary of the executive bureau is quite generous, which is the envy of many white-collar workers.
But not everyone has the ability and courage to do this.
"Where's Xia Chuluo? She's not in good health yet, so she shouldn't be running around every day." Wu Yu said.
"I know this, you should worry about other places..."
"You know the news, right?"
"I heard about the two people from the Floating City."
"Tomorrow is coming. The existing parliament is holding a meeting to discuss the purpose of the floating city."
There was some regret in Wu Yu's words.
The election of congressmen is not over yet. Although he is definitely the next congressman, he still has to wait for some time.
Just like those androids in No Man's Land complained.
The election of MPs takes too long.
There are 91 ordinary members and 31 functional members, one-third of whom will be replaced every two years.
Most of the people attending the meeting were ordinary members of parliament.
They put forward their views on certain aspects of rights, bill amendments, relevant treaties, etc., and solicit opinions from the entire Mowu City. If the feedback they receive is good, they will start voting.
The end of the line is for the functional councillors.
If a new clause is unanimously praised by the public and passed by the ordinary members, but is deemed too nonsense by the power members, they will reject it.
For example, the gun control bill is mentioned almost every year.
"I think those two people came for the so-called android alliance in No Man's Land." Wu Yu expressed his opinion.
"It's very possible." Lu Wen nodded.
Back then, the Floating City watched helplessly as the Eden in the north was being built, but failed to stop it in time.
After that, every once in a while.
Someone from the floating city will go to the two cities in the north and ask them to send troops to find the address of Eden and make that city disappear forever.
But the two cities in the north are more stubborn and have never paid attention to the floating city.
Now the android organization outside Mowu City is also showing signs of building a city.
Lu Wen walked out of the executive bureau and drove to pick up Xia Chuluo.
Something happened on Xia Chuluo's side.
To be precise, something happened to one of her team members.
last night.
The computer of Fatty Jiang, the IT pillar of her team, was hacked.
The fat man's entire fat face also darkened.
"Fat Grandpa, I've been playing with computers since I was a baby. Don't let me track down which bastard hacked into my computer. I'm going to fuck him back to the Stone Age!"
When Fatty Jiang said this, he gritted his teeth and looked ferocious.
Fortunately, there was nothing important in his computer.
The only purpose is to track Luo Ruyan.
Now Luo Ruyan's traces are gone. He was disturbed and can no longer be traced. Everyone only knows that Luo Ruyan was last seen in Central City.
At the beginning of Xia Luo had been fishing for a long time, and Luo Ruyan was the bait, but now the fishing line is broken.
Lu Wen came to the small warehouse.
Fatty Jiang was still leaning in front of the computer, his fingers flying, and the fat all over his body was trembling rhythmically.
Didn't sleep all night.
"Take a rest. After all, this is Luo Ruyan, a person who has been connected with Central City more than ten years ago. It is normal for him to know some powerful people." Lu Wen comforted.
"No!" Fatty Jiang picked up the coffee on the side and drank it all in one gulp. "When I think of the complacent look on the guy opposite me, I can't sleep. If I don't teach him how to behave, he won't understand who this era belongs to!"
This guy is really cruel.
Either the opponent is brought back from the computer age to the Stone Age, or he dies suddenly.
After a while, Xia Chuluo came to the small warehouse.
Didn't sleep the same night.
She tracked the criminal all night long.
Of the three criminals who stole the firearms and escaped, one of them was shot dead by her, and the calf of another was broken by her shot. They were sent to the ambulance with howling in agony. I don’t know if they will ever walk normally again in this life. hope.
"Have a rest?" Lu Wen looked at her tired look and asked with a frown.
"Well, let's drink some porridge first, and then go to sleep." Xia Chuluo nodded.
She walked behind Fatty Jiang.
I looked at the data that kept beating on the computer display for a while.
Although she is smart, she is not smart enough to become a top hacker in a very short period of time. She has a specialization in the art.
"There's no need to fight so hard, just forget it if you lose it." Xia Chuluo said.
"No, Miss Xia, if he can hack me once, he can hack me a second time... Although I was careless this time, I must be cautious and fix all possible loopholes, otherwise I will leave for Central City when the time comes. We may be watched by the other party the whole time.”
Changing from a hunter to a prey made Fatty Jiang very uncomfortable.
"Okay, if you really can't hold it anymore, just take a rest."
Xia Chuluo drank some porridge, found a random place in the warehouse, and lay down quietly.
Dark clouds hovered over the city of Mowu.
Many unexpected things disrupted the team's plans.
Over in the floating city, an old immortal came in person with a clear goal.
But this news was not known to the general public.
even.
Even within the Executive Directorate, only a handful of people knew about it.
The confidentiality work is so good, isn't it because you are worried that the information will leak and be known to the androids in no man's land
Of course, there is also a possibility.
Those two people came to lead the mediation of conflicts between the two parties and help the androids build the city.
But this possibility is slim.
"Do you want to notify the android organization in No Man's Land?"
Lu Wen thought for a moment and then rejected the idea.
Those guys.
Even if they were informed, they wouldn't believe it.
We can only take one step at a time.
If Lu Wen can get the exact information and confirm that Mowu City is going to take action against those android organizations, it will not be too late to notify them at that time.
…
…
Baker City.
Yin Liuyue was full and packed as usual.
The two distributed the extra meals to homeless people on the street and received a lot of praise.
Lu Wen has never experienced a life of being full and hungry.
But many people around him have had this experience.
"The tragic experiences of childhood will affect a person's life. Those emotions accumulate in their hearts, and some people grow up to be criminals, using whatever means necessary." Lu Wen sat on the street, watching the people coming and going on the street.
"Where are the others?" Yin Liuyue sat next to him.
"And... grow into a person who catches criminals."
Ten o'clock in the morning.
There were fewer people on the streets.
Nuo is such a big city, even during the day, people are coming and going in a hurry.
People who grew up here don't understand what security means, so capable people leave one after another.
"Why did you choose to come to Baker City from Mowu City?" Lu Wen asked.
"I grew up in the slums of the 16th District. Later I ran away from home and went to the wealthy area that adults always said. I felt that the prosperity was incompatible with me, so I came here."
Many people feel this way.
Growing up in an ordinary life, but later going to those splendid places, I will unconsciously develop a feeling of inferiority.
They do not belong to that magnificent world.
"I came here in a stowaway car. Along the way, I passed through no-man's land and encountered extreme weather. Many people died, and less than half came alive." Yin Liuyue said.
"In such a chaotic place, is there any need to sneak here?"
"Those people said that the money earned by working here is more than that in Mowu City. Many poor people came here with the idea of making money, but in the end they found out that they were just wandering in another place."
Girls smuggled over are often miserable.
On his first day in Baker City, Yin June was kidnapped.
Sitting in the dilapidated van, she knew that if she didn't resist, her life would be worse than death.
The girl who grew up in the slums used all her strength to break free and grab the steering wheel.
The car body exploded in a violent roll.
Everyone but her died.
"When I woke up, I was in the doctor's research institute. Most of the flesh and blood in my body had been replaced. In fact, I'm not much better than you now. Except for my brain and heart, there are only a few original parts left."
"Can you taste the food you eat?"
"able."
"Then you are still much better than me."
Maybe this is fate.
Dr. Jiang, an empty-nest veteran android, has been bored in the research institute for a long time and is ready to find a reliable assistant.
The old van rolled past him.
After an explosion.
He rushed to the front and dragged out a tattered body from the rubble.
Yin Liuyue is his most perfect masterpiece, but it doesn't stop there. Even if 70% of the parts are replaced with machines, the remaining 30% will still slowly age and die.
So during the early morning communication, Dr. Jiang told Lu Wen that eternal life does not exist.
"In many science fiction works, there are plots about uploading consciousness into a machine to achieve immortality. I don't know when this technology will be realized."
Maybe it will never come true.
Of course, Lu Wen has no such worries. He is a bionic person.
If nothing else happens, I can live until the end of this world.
He will send many people away.
It would be very sad to send away someone who is acquainted. He can stay young forever, but those human friends cannot.
The two were chatting when they suddenly noticed a commotion in front of them.
"It's people from Jia Ren's organization. They are rushing in one direction." Yin Liuyue recognized those people.
"It looks like there's going to be another fight."
