"In this battle, we exposed many problems, and it can be said that we lost quite completely."
Ark stood on a high platform in the android base and summed up his experience.
Lu Wen was speechless.
The underground organizations in Baker City were almost beaten to the point of losing their confidence. The battle damage almost reached a terrifying 1:15. Those gangsters who idled around with a gun in the dark all day were beaten until they were dizzy.
At least two very large organizations were severely damaged.
Jia Ren's organization was the worst, and they resisted hard from the beginning.
And those gangsters, perhaps due to the pressure from the boss above, or because of the so-called brotherly spirit, rushed forward one by one to die, and fought without any structure.
Go and die one by one.
The happiest people are probably the people from the Executive Bureau.
"The owners of the numbers 7, 8, 9, and 10, these four leaders, stayed in that dilapidated city forever. They died with dignity as warriors..."
Classic speech routine.
The first is simplicity. The central idea must be given at the very beginning to mobilize people's emotions.
For example, the sentence above, "lost quite completely", set a sad tone for this speech.
Then turn the sadness into other emotions, anger, anxiety, panic, etc.
But all androids understand.
They are still too weak, and a peaceful and comfortable life does not apply to them now, so they will remain vigilant at all times to ensure that they will not be eliminated by humans.
Lu Wen remembered the speeches given by some members of the Mowu City Council. They were full of nonsense for an hour or two and made people drowsy.
Ark's speech ended quickly.
Short and urgent, this was the impression his speech left on people.
"No. 9, my friend, please come with us to discuss the next steps."
Fangzhou invited Lu Wen into a tent.
Of the twelve leaders, four died in this morning's battle.
This is also the style of these android organizations outside Baker City. Every leader must lead by example and have certain combat experience, otherwise he is not qualified to lead other androids.
"My friends, this is Number Nine from Mowu City. I think you have all heard of his name."
Lu Wen shook hands with everyone one by one.
Everyone has the function of data transmission, and it is enough to provide identity information at the moment of shaking hands.
"You all know what happened this morning. Out of more than a thousand compatriots, only more than two hundred came back. According to our calculations, this situation should not happen." Fang Zhou said.
Every android has certain deduction and calculation capabilities.
They can speculate on possible future states and the proportion of each state based on the current situation of things.
"Even on a frontal battlefield, when the number of deaths reaches a certain proportion, the opponent will be defeated and flee. According to the initial calculation, 800 people will be enough for the underground organizations to retreat and sue for peace." The owner of number 2 said .
"In order to ensure the safety of our compatriots and the final victory, we arranged two hundred more people, but... something must have gone wrong." The owner of number 4 said.
"Those nineteen super large underground organizations, although they are an alliance, the leaders of each organization are quite selfish. They are actually willing to help Jia Ren's organization today. This is very strange. There is something wrong. It seems that someone is secretly involved. Control all this..."
Being able to become leaders, these androids are not stupid.
They quickly concluded that someone secretly used some method, whether it was inducement or coercion, to make other underground organizations choose to reinforce Jia Ren's organization.
Judging from the situation of these underground organizations, the possibility of inducement is relatively high.
"The inducements are very simple, such as paying a certain amount of money for each person's death, and turning lives into numbers, but this requires strong financial support."
Not many people in Baker City have that kind of money.
The android organization controls the personal circumstances of all rich people, and according to analysis, no one is willing to do this.
"No. 0, do you remember No. 0... My friends, No. 9 brought us news about No. 0." Fang Zhou said.
So the other seven androids all looked over.
The name Zero is not unfamiliar to them.
This is a legendary figure.
People who once studied with Dr. Jiang but were later kicked out.
After that, the legend of Number Zero gradually spread among the nine major cities. He lived in the dark side of the world. No one knew what he looked like. Maybe he was the face of Dr. Jiang who had studied with him, or something else.
"Zero returned to Baker City, hoping to start a war between Baker City and No Man's Land."
Lu Wen briefly explained the situation.
"The most critical point in this is that you... as long as a certain number of you enter the city and fight with other forces in the city, he will have a way to expand the war."
These androids are cautious.
In the past, when buying weapons, they would only send a few people to sneak into the city to trade. Too many people would easily expose them.
As for the handover of weapons, the other party will transport the weapons to the border between the city and the no-man's land.
It is not easy to let a certain number of androids enter the city, unless there is some troublesome incident involving them, and a certain amount of manpower needs to be used to conduct interviews and investigations.
"From the death of the reformed councilman to the spread of the news, it was all planned by Zero. The purpose is to introduce you to the city."
The androids looked at each other.
Regarding the death of the Cyborg Councilor, they had deduced many conclusions but could not agree on them, so they sent a certain number of people to sneak into the city at the risk of being exposed.
As a result, not long after entering, he was discovered by people from underground organizations.
"Actually, the fight between you two was started by me."
Lu Wen didn’t hide anything.
Many things cannot be hidden for too long. They will be exposed one day, so it is better to tell them directly now.
In a sense, he cooperated with Zero.
"My friend, how did you know we entered the city?" the owner of number 1 asked.
"Dr. Jiang has surveillance throughout the city, and he has known about Zero's plan for a long time, so he has his assistants monitor the entire city."
"No. 9, my friend, you should have no interaction with No. 0, right? Why are you targeting him?" the owner of the number 5 asked.
"Dr. Jiang has a close relationship with Zero. I have a good relationship with Dr. Jiang, so I will help him once."
Lu Wen glanced at the owner of the number 5, a female android.
this problem…
A little strange.
Judging from the identity of No. 9, he really has no interaction with No. 0.
"Understood."
The owner of number 5 nodded.
No one blamed Lu Wen for causing the war between the two forces.
"The underground organization has a lot of conflicts with us. They like to kill our compatriots, transform them into monsters, and let them fight in the ring to gain money from the rich."
"Now we should discuss how to proceed."
According to the temperament of these androids, they will definitely enter the city again, and enter the city on a large scale.
The more underground organizations are eliminated without touching the bottom line of the parliament, the happier the parliament will be.
"The bottom line of the Parliament is civilian casualties. As long as we control the number of civilian casualties, a large-scale war will not break out and Zero's plan will not succeed." The owner of Number 5 said.
Once the number of civilian casualties exceeds a certain limit, Parliament will be under tremendous pressure.
And within that scope, the android organization can even be considered to be doing good things, helping to end the chaos in Baker City.
It's just that they don't know.
What is the specific number of casualties
"First decide on a time and a place."
Lu Wen knew that this battle could not be stopped, so he had to participate.
"Given the character of those underground organizations, they would definitely not dare to start a war outside the urban areas, so the location can only be urban areas, but it must be an urban area with a relatively small population."
"Lure them to places with very small populations, and inform the parliament in advance to evacuate all people from that area... "
This discussion lasted for a long time.
At ten o'clock in the evening, someone sent the four iron plates that were lost in the battle.
After the battle, some androids lurking in the city, disguised as ordinary people, rushed into the dozen or so neighborhoods where the battle took place, together with the wanderers.
Wanderers are here to rob stores on both sides of the block for supplies. If you are lucky and pick up a gun and some bullets, your destiny will change.
"Nine, my friend, we hope you can have the number 9, you deserve it."
These androids placed the iron plate with the number 9 in front of Lu Wen.
Lu Wen did not refuse.
He still has to rely on him to save those guys outside Mowu City.
Those guys probably haven't realized that the crisis is coming, and they are just waiting to sign the so-called peace treaty and prepare to build a city.
…
At night.
Nights in Baker City are two extremes.
Ordinary people returned home early to avoid trouble.
And underground forces began to become active.
So many people died during the day. Except for Jia Ren, who was really miserable, no one else took it to heart.
Human life is the least valuable thing. The money Zero gave them is enough to find countless younger brothers who are willing to sacrifice their lives.
"Boss, there are rumors that those androids will return to the city tomorrow, right here in the East District."
"Grapevine? What grapevine? We are the source of gossip. Is there anyone more gossipy than us?"
“…”
That night, gossip came out of nowhere and spread throughout various organizations.
So everyone knew.
The android organization will enter the city in large numbers tomorrow, and even the address is known.
"I feel very bad about being beaten by those broken machines today. Whoever is not afraid of death, come with me and ambush me tonight!"
One call and a hundred responses.
The leader of that force was very pleased.
Looking at the many active gangsters, he seemed to see bills moving one by one.
Number Zero has made a promise that for every person who dies, his account will increase by 50,000.
One life in exchange for 50,000, it's so worth it.
