"The androids of Baker City."
Lu Wen jumped down from the high slope with his feet firmly planted on the ground.
The heavy body smashed into a cloud of dust on the ground.
Martin, with a face full of shock, trotted down the top of the slope.
It was the first time for this young man to see such a huge army of androids. Even in Eden, the armed forces there were not too strong, at least... there were no such things as fighter jets.
That's why Eden chose to build it underground in the first place. After all, it didn't have the ability to compete for air supremacy.
"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Central City. If Central City had not suppressed Baker City, causing Baker City's economic decline to collapse, we would not have had the chance to rise." Fang Zhou said with a smile.
"So you're from Baker City?" Martin always thought that Fang Zhou was also from Lu Wen's organization.
"Yes, it's nice to meet Eden's friends."
Martin took a deep breath. The scene in front of him was really shocking to him.
He has believed since he was a child that directly confronting humans is not the first choice for androids.
Because the chance of defeating him is quite small.
But what he saw directly changed his views over the years.
"You... you are not draining the entire city to support your army, are you?"
Since there can be fighter jets roaring in the sky, there will naturally be an airport.
Even a makeshift airport is quite scary.
"Absolutely. Many of the Baker City council members have been replaced by androids, and the remaining humans are the type who turn a blind eye and only want to make more money during their term."
Although Baker City has declined, it is still a city that once relied on heavy industry as its economic pillar.
There are quite a few military-industrial enterprises in this city.
Only such a city can support such a large army of androids, so that every domestic android can have weapons.
Even if the level of combat effectiveness is uneven, at least everyone can be a soldier.
"Come on, I'll take you in for a walk."
Fang Zhou is very enthusiastic and shows his sincerity as a landlord.
After this visit, we will move part of the android army further forward, while the rest will stay here to guard the airport and other facilities.
According to Lu Wen's judgment, it is estimated that the real action will only take place in the next day or two.
…
The time in Mowu City came to half past two in the afternoon.
It's still cloudy.
Low clouds were weighing on almost everyone's mind, and the sky above the entire city was dark.
The huge gray airship floats above the cold steel buildings.
Occasionally, fire would appear on the street, but it would soon be extinguished.
The Enforcement Bureau was very efficient. It directly arrested some people and locked up all those who took the lead in vandalism.
The rest were determined to continue the march.
"As long as you don't destroy things and express your opinions reasonably, you can continue to march!"
Many executives held loudspeakers and shouted loudly around the streets.
"But... why don't you wait until three o'clock in the afternoon, when that press conference is over, and then think about whether you want to continue the march?"
"Three o'clock is coming soon. Comrades, take a rest. Don't you feel stuffy? Do you want to stop and drink some water? The Executive Bureau has unlimited iced boiled water."
Some executives took to the streets pushing their freezers.
The weather is indeed sultry.
It's July and the sun can't be seen again.
Many people participating in the demonstrations are now soaked to the skin and their mouths are chapped.
The reason why they can still hold on is mainly because they want to vent the negative emotions in their hearts, which have kept them marching from ten o'clock in the morning until now.
Most people didn't even have lunch.
"Then let's take a break for now and wait until the meeting ends at three in the afternoon!"
This voice finally came out from within the marching group.
Gradually, these guys who occupied the streets began to sit down and rest.
The chaotic city slowly became quiet.
"There is ice-cold boiled water here. Although the Executive Bureau has limited funds, there is an unlimited supply of this stuff. If you want to drink, come and get it. Don't be shy."
Many executives finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as this intensifying storm is contained, the next step will be much better.
After sitting down and taking a rest, those groups who are 'intense', 'full of enthusiasm', and 'just want to go for a walk' will begin to reflect.
People kept taking ice water from them, leaving a few words of thanks when they left.
These guys sure are hot and thirsty.
"Buzz..."
"Buzz..."
There are drones constantly flying over in the sky.
Some are from the news media, some are from the Executive Board, and some are private.
Together, these drones interweave projection images in the streets and alleys.
The same picture appeared on the big screens of high-rise buildings on the street.
The picture shows the square in front of the Parliament Building.
A big square.
Now it was densely packed with people.
There were also many people watching from the surrounding tall buildings with their windows open.
Some gray airships also stayed above the square.
"I hope Lu Wen can win." A researcher from Bilan Branch said.
They were all notified.
Around 2:50 in the afternoon, the entire branch stopped production to watch the meeting.
As the creators of Lu Wen, although they are human beings, they still prefer Lu Wen in their hearts.
"Hard to say."
Some people shook their heads and were not optimistic.
"Zhen Yingjie has always done his best in all these years and has never had any negative news. Why would he attack his secretary? Is he really that kind of person?"
"But Liang Jun did die in a car accident. The video given by Lu Wen can explain everything."
"You think... can Lu Wen lie to others?"
Everyone couldn't help but think deeply at this moment.
When they designed the androids, did they consider that the androids would deceive people
"Follow the program settings..."
"Not to mention the program, there are too many ways to bypass it. Even the circuit breaker measures can be easily cracked now."
Discussion now is of no use and no conclusion can be drawn.
Both sides said they would give more evidence in the afternoon.
Judging from the public opinion on the Internet, there are still many more people supporting Zhen Yingjie. After all, one is a human and the other is an android. One has been in office for many years, while the other has only become popular in the past two months.
[We believe Mayor Zhen, he will silence the android and give Chief Wei peace]
[Alas, I don’t know where Chief Wei’s body was hidden by this android]
[Chief Wei is also a good person... ]
…
On the Executive Board side.
The minds of many executives are also complex.
Leaving aside the Thirteenth District, other districts, especially the Tenth and Fifteenth Districts, don't really believe in the content of Zhen Yingjie's video.
They all know the relationship between Lu Wen and Wei Boyan.
Especially the little geniuses in District 13. Some of them actually knew that Wei Bo'an was a wandering poet and had provided help to Wei Bo'an.
Knowing this, they believed that Lu Wen would not attack Wei Boyan.
But they can't do much other than control hundreds of accounts on the Internet and forward content that is beneficial to Lu Wen.
As for other regional executive bureaus.
In fact, they also hope that Lu Wen can win.
If Lu Wen can win, then this demonstration with the theme of 'Opposing Bionic Man' will be over, and they won't have to be so busy.
But they all felt that Lu Wen had little hope of winning.
"The time is almost up."
Someone checked the time on their phone.
It's two fifty in the afternoon.
A podium has been prepared in the square. There are two podiums on the left and right sides of the podium. Video playback and file reading equipment are also provided to facilitate the debate between the two parties.
Both Lu Wen and Zhen Yingjie walked onto the podium in the presence of their respective supporters.
"Mayor Zhen please go first?" Lu Wen looked at him lightly.
"Then I'll go first."
This old man is really rude.
I saw Zhen Yingjie standing in front of the podium, holding the microphone and saying sadly: "Brother Wei and I have known each other for a long time. I know very well that he is an upright and kind person, and there is no room for one in his eyes..."
"Mayor, please don't waste your time and get to the point." Lu Wen said calmly.
This immediately interrupted the old man's lyrical session.
He looked ugly and turned to look at Lu Wen.
"Okay then, let's get straight to the point!"
Zhen Yingjie played the surveillance video from the previous night again.
In the video, Lu Wen is strangling Wei Boyan.
Wei Boyan's struggle seemed quite weak.
Everyone in the square was in an uproar, and most people in the entire city couldn't help but feel angry.
After all, they had only seen the media reports within the Executive Directorate before, but this time they saw it with their own eyes.
[The purpose of this step is to arouse public emotions]
The system provides such an analysis.
Lu Wen naturally felt the malicious eyes on the square.
But his expression remained unchanged and he remained calm.
Then Zhen Yingjie said: "I think everyone is clear about the cause and effect. This morning, Lu Wen kept making excuses, saying that this video or 'him' in the video was fake and wanted me to give more evidence."
While talking, the old man called up another video.
"Then now comes the evidence."
The video shows a wide road.
People who often travel between the city and the suburbs will recognize that this road is one of the main roads leaving the city and entering the suburbs.
A car speeds by on the road.
Although it was dark at night, the surveillance footage was still recorded clearly.
"Everyone should be able to see that Lu Wen is sitting in the driver's seat. He is driving Brother Wei's car. Brother Wei is sitting in the passenger seat. He looks like he is asleep, but everyone must know that his At that time... he was already killed."
Zhen Yingjie lamented.
A few more videos follow.
The traces of Wei Boyan's car were recorded.
"Lu Wen was so smart that he thought that if he removed the positioning device on the car, we would not be able to find Brother Wei, and he could die without any evidence, but he ignored one thing."
Zhen Yingjie pointed to Lu Wen and said, "Brother Wei's car was specially made for the director of the Executive Bureau. There is more than one positioning device in the car. Just now, we have found that car!"
As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar on the scene.
The crowd was excited.
Some people demanded that Lu Wen be taken down immediately and his memory chip checked.
Others asked how the car was doing now.
"The car was driven into a stagnant lake in the suburbs. Don't worry, our people have already started salvaging it. I immediately transferred the scene scene here."
Zhen Yingjie said, switching the screen.
The picture shows a quite large lake, and some viewers who live nearby have already recognized it.
"We have salvage personnel, first aid personnel, geologists and even blue engineers on site... "
Zhen Yingjie introduced the people in the picture.
I have to say that he really chose the right time to salvage.
[Use live images to win the trust of the audience]
The system gave the analysis again.
There is nothing more trustworthy than seeing it with your own eyes, especially in such public view.
The salvage team is also composed of different people and cannot be faked.
"Unfortunately, Chief Wei's body was not found."
News came from the underwater salvage crew.
This news made everyone present feel nervous.
Even Lu Wen frowned.
What if things are not what Xia Chuluo said, what if Wei Boyan is really kidnapped or even killed...
Where would the body be
The old guy Zhen Yingjie was too cautious in doing things. He even sent a bionic man who looked exactly like Lu Wen to deal with Wei Bo'an.
One reason is that the blame can be placed on Lu Wen.
Another reason is because he no longer has any human beings he trusts enough.
"We are preparing to salvage the vehicle. Chief Wei's vehicle is specially made by the Executive Bureau. The safety system on the vehicle is made by Bilan and is quite complete. Unless it is invaded, a distress signal should be sent out the moment it enters the water. "
The news coming from the screen made everyone present find the key point.
Invasion!
No wonder Bilan engineers were invited to the scene. It turned out to be just for this.
After a while, the car finally slowly emerged from the lake and was towed to the shore.
The blue engineer stepped forward and took out a blue chip from the vehicle.
He placed the chip on a dedicated computer.
"Don't worry, everyone, we will find out the cause soon."
After that, he began to inquire seriously.
In the scene, only the sound of him typing on the keyboard could be heard.
Everyone in the square could clearly see the blue engineer's computer screen. Although they didn't know what the strings of codes and data meant, it was enough.
Being able to see the screen means that the engineer will not cheat.
Everyone fell silent and waited for the results.
After a while.
The engineer raised his eyes on the bridge of his nose and said: "A bionic man has invaded the safety system of this car, so when the car was in the lake, the water protection module was not triggered, and no distress signal was sent out. This The android’s number is… E10-0005438899.”
The engineer's voice came through the screen and echoed in the empty square.
Zhen Yingjie turned to look at Lu Wen and asked, "Lu Wen, can you tell the people present now what your number is."
Lu Wen smiled faintly, he was waiting for him here.
It seems that the blue engineer has also been bribed.
"My number is E10-0005438899, which is the same as what the blue engineer just said." Lu Wen did not deny it and said it into the microphone.
The atmosphere at the scene reached its first climax this afternoon.
Many people couldn't sit still anymore. They stood up and said some dirty words that could often be heard to Lu Wen.
Many people were ready to rush to the stage and physically attack Lu Wen.
Fortunately, he was stopped by the security personnel present.
Otherwise, if Lu Wen slapped him casually, many people would be injured.
"I think there is no need to continue this meeting. Everyone has seen it." Zhen Yingjie said into the microphone: "So, should people from the Executive Bureau take Lu Wen away now?"
As soon as he said this, he immediately received a fierce response.
In the big square.
Only a handful of people remain sane.
Most people, especially fans of Wei Boyan and the original wandering poet, were overwhelmed by anger and hoped that Lu Wen would be sanctioned immediately.
They all know that if an android breaks the law, it can be shot on the spot.
"Aren't you ready to calm down and take a look at the materials I have prepared?" Lu Wen patted the microphone, his expression still very calm.
[13% of the people at the scene were in a state of extreme anger]
[29% of people are in a state of anger]
[83% of people are infected by the atmosphere and cannot listen to it at the moment]
[Advantage of first strike...]
This old guy is really awesome.
It aroused everyone's anger and spread this emotion, making more and more people infected by this emotion.
If he really succeeds and arrests Lu Wen, he will probably stand up hypocritically to stop the demonstrations from continuing, and make some talks about peaceful coexistence with androids, so as to win the favor of ordinary people.
Being a politician in Mowu City means making the most of what you can use.
But Lu Wen was not in a hurry.
He is waiting.
By the way, he took his time and copied all the evidence materials to the instruments at the scene, ready to play them later.
"catch him!"
I don’t know who was the first to shout like this. It was quite loud and overwhelmed the voices of many people.
The effect of these three words in fanning the flames is quite serious.
Gradually.
Someone shouted along with him.
"Get him! Get him!"
“…”
The voice is getting louder and louder.
A wave gradually formed.
The security guards at the scene cried out in distress.
The crowd kept pouring towards Lu Wen, and it was quite difficult for them to stop them.
Someone even pulled out a gun and pointed it at Lu Wen. If he hadn't been stopped by the security guard on the side and allowed the gunshot to ring out in the square, today's situation would have been completely out of control.
[You can play Zhen Yingjie’s murder video to calm down everyone present]
The system gives this prompt.
In fact, Lu Wen also knew.
If you play the video now, it will naturally make those people quiet a lot.
But he's still waiting.
Wait for the situation Xia Chuluo said.
"We are almost unable to stop you, Lu Wen, if you have any evidence, release it as soon as possible!"
A security guard said anxiously.
It's not that it's almost unstoppable, it's that it's already unstoppable.
As soon as he finished speaking, the defense line formed by the security personnel was broken through.
The crowd swarmed up and rushed towards Lu Wen.
"Catch this android! Which brother brought a gun?"
"I have!"
The dense crowd pushed away the security guards.
The gap is getting bigger.
The scene was about to get out of control.
This critical moment.
Suddenly a voice came from the sky.
"Wait a moment!"
The voice came from a gray airship.
Everyone was stunned.
They looked up.
I saw the airship's pod door suddenly opened.
The black rope was thrown out of the cabin.
A strong figure fell from the sky.
…
Good night, fellow book friends!
Thanks to book friends Northrend’s Fatty and I Love Meatballs for their tips.
