Baker City, bottom of sinkhole.
The war did not end because of this sudden collapse.
Several hundred meters of sinking.
Many androids survived.
Very few humans survived.
Most of the members of the underground forces fell in the ruins and stayed forever in this place where the sun would not stay for too long.
These collapsed buildings and broken steel beams are like broken mausoleums, burying them here forever.
"In a sense, Zero has done a good thing by leaving half of the underground organization here. Is this to reduce the chaos in Baker City so that the council can free up its hands to deal with the androids?"
Lu Wen met Jia Ren in the ruins.
The former leader of one of the nineteen large underground organizations.
If they follow the routine of literary and artistic works, the two of them can still have a little dialogue between the decent and the villain.
But it is a pity that Jia Ren did not survive. Except for one face that could barely be recognized, the other parts were all bloody and bloody. They were almost smashed into two-dimensional creatures by the collapsed pillars. Together with his men, they stayed behind. this world.
More than ten minutes later, Lu Wen and the others cleared away the members of the underground organization who were lucky enough to be alive.
He looked up at the top.
"A few hundred meters high, above one city and another. The people who built Baker City were really powerful."
Under the sinkhole, a place where light cannot reach.
Densely packed reinforced concrete structures run through this huge underground city, some of which are like pillars supporting the sky, standing deep underground.
"As long as no one blocks you, it's not difficult to climb up."
Suddenly there was the sound of a helicopter in the sky.
The roaring propellers cut through the air and echoed over the city.
Neat and powerful steps from far to near.
There seemed to be the roar of the chariot, but because the nearby structure had just experienced an explosion and was unstable, the chariot was only far away.
Baker City Army.
These guys…
Entering at this time, the atmosphere is more subtle.
All the androids looked up at the sky. To be honest, if Baker City chose this time to attack them and be condescending, there was a high chance that they would be buried here.
But this is not wise.
There are only a small number of androids here, so it doesn't matter if they all die.
"My friends, please come up these rope ladders."
At the gap, countless ladders were lowered.
The several hundred meters of soft ladder must have been temporarily modified by these guys.
Lu Wen stepped on the ladder first. As an existing leader, it was necessary to take the lead. He had to go up and see what the Baker City Council planned.
There should be no hostility.
He heard a familiar voice, it was the android congressman.
After climbing for a period of time, at the gap that collapsed, the man stretched out his hand, grabbed Lu Wen, and pulled him up.
"My friends, we don't have any ill intentions. Instead, we want to thank you for cleaning up these maggots in the ground. The people have been comforted by us. There is no need to worry. The subsequent settlement will be left to the parliament." The android councilor said sincerely. .
"Then why did you bring these troops here? Are they scary?" Lu Wen smiled lightly.
At a glance, the sky was filled with hovering helicopters, overwhelming the sky.
Smoke and dust billowed in the distance, indicating the constant movement of chariots.
Thick troops filled the streets.
All kinds of ordnance and weapons are available and well-equipped.
The military appearance is impressive and uniform. The soldiers hold their heads high and their chests high, and they are full of energy.
At least it's not as bad as the legend says.
Perhaps many people at the upper levels have rotted away, but the ordinary sergeants at the lower levels still have the feeling of defending their homeland in their hearts, and their passion allows them to persevere in this shabby city.
"As soon as I came up, there were two digits of snipers aiming at my head. Are you afraid that I will suddenly attack you?" Lu Wen asked: "Are there so many people afraid that I will blow myself up or something?"
"My friend, please understand that these troops are only brought out to show ordinary people and reassure them."
The android councilman explained very hard.
He feels a little different now.
However, the reasons given by the parliament were very sufficient. After three consecutive days of fighting, it was still inside the city, causing a certain number of casualties among ordinary people. Therefore, they must do something to show that the parliament is still strong and will not be afraid. challenge from any force.
"Since it's just a show for ordinary people, there's no need to deploy snipers, right?" Lu Wen looked around, "My friend, you are a bionic after all, remember your identity."
"Of course, I never forgot."
The android Yiyuan turned back and discussed with the other human councillors.
He also made several phone calls.
After some time, all the snipers left.
The helicopters hovering in the sky also went further and began to patrol over the entire city to calm the people's emotions.
After confirming that Baker City would not take action against the androids for the time being, Lu Wen made a gesture to the following, asking all the androids to come up.
The troops also moved back a bit to make room for the androids.
"As a bionic person, and also a member of parliament, after working for so long, how do you feel about it?" Lu Wen asked.
"Pride and Prejudice." The android congressman smiled with a bitter smile, "During the meeting, everyone looked at you with a strange look, as if there was a strange creature mixed into the crowd. It shouldn't be Belongs to that brightly lit place.”
This bionic congressman gave himself a human name, Zhang Ji.
It's very simple, so it's easier for others to remember.
The two companies also entered the name into the database.
"What about your suggestions? Do the people of Baker City support them?"
"It's difficult... My friend, in this city, what people care most about is not the relationship between androids and humans, but whether they can live to see the sun every day."
Zhang Ji explained his current dilemma to Lu Wen.
Every time an opinion is raised, the people who pay the most attention are not the people, but the news media.
Every word he says will be used to make a fuss.
Some programs will invite some politicians and celebrities to chat on TV. Many of the topics come from him, the bionic congressman, and most of them are disdainful, critical, and objectionable.
"This is the current situation of this city, my friend, there is nothing I can do. I once fantasized about improving the rights and interests of our compatriots and letting them live a better life, but in the eyes of those people, we are just machines after all. "
The machine requires no equity.
"A bionic councilor is also going to be born in Mowu City. His name is Lu Wen. Have you heard of it?"
"Of course I have heard of him, and I envy him very much." Zhang Ji sighed, "Mowu City is a breeding ground for politicians. The people there are wealthy, the public security there is very good, and the streets at night are not like Baker City. Qing Leng, Lu Wen has a lot to do there.”
"Maybe." Lu Wen smiled.
"I have learned about the news there. Lu Wen is more popular than me. He has turned defeat into victory several times. The comments on his social account are the most harmonious I have ever seen. Many people are conveying their wishes for peace." Zhang Ji Envy said.
"It may also be that someone is manipulating public opinion in Mowu City. My friend, don't just take the superficial appearance."
The two chatted about the current situation in Baker City.
Zhang Ji said that after this incident, many people left messages on the official account of the parliament and the social accounts of many members.
It is recommended to eradicate the androids in no man's land.
"No one denounces these underground organizations, because everyone understands that the battlefield with the androids will be in no man's land, while the battlefield with the underground organizations can only be in the city."
These people are afraid of death.
So they aimed these small-scale battles at no man's land.
This is similar to the gangs that surrounded and suppressed the 16th District in Mowu City.
The gangs failed to eradicate a few, but instead caused a large number of civilian casualties.
"Baker City lacks a person who can unify the underground world." Lu Wen said.
"Such a person has never appeared before, and there may not be one in the future." Zhang Ji is not optimistic, "Not everyone is Xia Zheng, who has absolute strength and skill, and can end chaos and bring order."
"There will always be others. Don't underestimate those who come after you."
The parliament gave a piece of data about the other side of this war, the underground forces.
These nineteen super large underground forces actually accepted Zero's inducement and sent people here to fight the androids.
There are also some small underground forces.
"Number Zero sent a sum of money to the leaders of those forces in advance. It was regarded as a deposit. The amount was quite large, so those people were moved."
Five very large forces completely disappeared and were buried at the bottom of the sinkhole forever.
Other forces did not go all out, but they also suffered heavy losses.
"The council is very happy to see such an outcome, and I am also very grateful to you for sending people to report last night, allowing us to evacuate residents from this nearby area overnight," Zhang Ji said.
"Get the word out."
"what news?"
"There is news about the bosses of these underground forces collecting money from No. 0 and selling the lives of their subordinates for fifty thousand a piece."
fifty thousand.
As long as you are an independent person, you will feel that your life is not worth more than this number.
They will be disappointed that their leader traded their lives for money.
After disappointment comes anger.
People's hearts will gradually become unstable.
"If we do this, the underground forces in Baker City will be turbulent." Zhang Ji was worried, "The night will no longer be peaceful, and the darkness will usher in a new reshuffle. I'm worried..."
"There's nothing to worry about. The night in this city is inherently restless. Do you really want to rely on these loose sands to maintain order in the night?"
Lu Wen patted his shoulder.
"Actually, I like the chaos of this city. After all, only in troubled times can the king emerge."
