Outside Mowu City, the second city of androids.
Thanks to its unique geographical location, the city has not been affected by extreme weather.
Fangzhou also said objectively at the beginning that this city was indeed quite good simply based on the location.
Now, the androids from both cities gathered outside, tens of millions of them, with a huge momentum.
"No. 9, shall we go further south next?" Ma Bo said.
"Half of the troops can be left here, and the remaining half can be used to escort compatriots with weaker combat effectiveness." Fang Zhou pointed to the map, "Now is a rare period of peace, and Mowu City is probably also discussing it internally."
"Don't worry, I have asked some of my compatriots to secretly go to the south to find a suitable location. We will stay here temporarily during this period."
Lu Wen took a long breath and arranged all the things that needed attention in the next few days.
He asked someone to call Huang Liang over.
Huang Liang sees things from a different perspective than these androids. When necessary, he can help everyone make decisions from a human perspective.
Then Lu Wen had to leave.
"No. 9, are you going back to Baker City?" Fang Zhou asked.
"Um."
Lu Wen nodded.
"Something happened over there, I have to go take a look."
"I'll call a group of brothers to escort you there. The chaos in Baker City hasn't ended yet, and the fighting among the underground forces has spread into the day."
"No, it's urgent this time. I'll fly directly from Mowu City."
Lu Wen said goodbye to everyone and drove towards Mowu City.
Halfway through, she called Yin June and asked her to rent a plane and asked the captain to set the route immediately. She had to get to Baker City today.
Do not know why.
Lu Wen always felt that something was starting to get out of his control.
In the future he deduced, Dr. Jiang is a very important character. However, this character is now unreachable and seems to have disappeared from the world.
"June, do you still have the money I left you before?"
"Yes, but... lease in my name?"
"Yes, you are a human being. Once my identity is exposed, it is estimated that the Mowu City army will come directly and suppress me."
"Okay then, I'll go right away. When will you come over?"
"Soon, two hours."
The location of the Second City of Bionic People is very close to Mowu City.
This distance was the opinion put forward by the human side during the first negotiation.
The reason is also very simple. It facilitates the transportation of various building materials from Mowu City to the Second Bionic City, and is also conducive to the future development of special industries such as tourism in this city.
Lu Wen speeded up.
The car roared through no man's land, with billows of yellow sand thrown up behind it.
Thanks to the urban construction during that period, vehicles transporting construction materials have created a relatively smooth road between the two cities, so there is no need to worry about accidents such as vehicle breakdown.
Two hours later.
An airport on the outskirts of the city of Mowu.
Lu Wen boarded the plane.
"It takes three hours to reach Baker City. Please take a rest."
"Good work."
Lu Wen sat by the window.
Yin Liuyue sat opposite him, with a trace of worry that couldn't be wiped off his handsome face.
"Don't worry, the doctor is so cautious, it's unlikely something will happen." Lu Wen comforted him, although he didn't have much confidence in his heart.
"But why doesn't the Doctor respond to us?"
Yin Liuyue kept stirring a cup of coffee on the table in front of her.
This continuous repetition of small movements revealed that she was very anxious now.
After all, the doctor had saved her life and taught her a lot of knowledge, treating her like a granddaughter.
"Do you think it could be that guy from No. 0? Is it possible that she has evolved again, become stronger, and come back to cause trouble for the doctor?"
"Or is it the 'Chip No. 1' you mentioned? Could it be that that guy is not dead at all? He hid his consciousness somewhere in the four chips and secretly attacked the doctor..."
"Is it official from Baker City?"
“…”
Yin Liuyue kept reading.
During these three hours, she analyzed all possible situations.
But none of them stand up to scrutiny.
As they all know, Dr. Jiang is everywhere.
A supercomputer of this level cannot completely kill him as long as there is a village on the planet connected to the Internet.
What could be the reason for him losing contact
Could it be that another supercomputer took action against the doctor and blocked him from the outside world
With doubts.
The two walked out of the airport.
The current state of Baker City is really terrible.
In the mutual struggle between underground forces, new ruthless people emerge every day and are killed by other ruthless people. The parliament has also sent special forces to participate, hoping to reduce civilian casualties.
The city was filled with beacon fire and gunpowder smoke.
Those underground forces are like a gangrene that is difficult to eradicate.
Death and madness entangled this city on the verge of being broken. During this period, countless residents dragged their families and families away from here. It was really unbearable.
The population of Mowu has been growing.
"When Mowu City attacked the gangs in the slums in the past, there were also wars everywhere, and countless people were killed and injured. I hope Baker City can end it as soon as possible."
Lu Wen sighed, and then headed to the lake on the outskirts of the city with Yin Liuyue.
The two jumped into the lake, causing a splash of water.
There are many swimming fish in the lake.
Although it was daytime, the light had disappeared after diving to a certain depth.
The deep darkness enveloped the two of them, and the water flow at the bottom of the lake carried a certain resistance, giving people the feeling of being entangled, squeezed, or even suffocated.
Lu Wen's night vision mode allowed him to see clearly in the dark and turbid lake water.
Just like last time, the two successfully entered the research institute.
This seemingly living research institute took the two of them to the bottom level.
"The institute is still running, which is good news. It has not been damaged by external forces."
Lu Wen was thinking this, but the scene in front of him immediately surprised him.
What caught his eye was the elderly form of the bionic man that Dr. Jiang often used.
The android body fell straight to the ground.
"Doctor? Doctor, are you okay?"
Yin June was the first to rush forward.
But no matter how much she shook, the body didn't react at all.
"Don't worry, I'll take a look at the institute's surveillance."
Lu Wen accessed the data from the entire institute.
He found that the scope of Dr. Jiang's research was quite broad, including mechanical evolution, human body modification, human consciousness, genetic programming, etc.
The surveillance in the institute is intact.
Lu Wen started searching from the surveillance four days ago.
Four days ago that morning, after an all-night battle, they wiped out the cancer of the temple from Central City. Fatty Jiang and the others carried back a complete Wuya body.
The doctor read the data and left.
The cat he placed his consciousness on also transformed back into an ordinary bionic cat.
"The doctor should be able to crush this No. 1 chip. It cannot be counterattacked."
Let’s look at the video and the institute’s data.
Dr. Jiang did not start with the emotional chip first, but analyzed the other three chips. This analysis process did not last long.
"It's just an ordinary chip. It seems that the emotional chip is indeed the reason why Lu Wen and the others are so special."
Dr. Jiang said and began to study the data in the emotion chip.
There is also a small system inside this chip. Even with Dr. Jiang's ability, it will be difficult to decipher the contents of this system in a short time.
Time passes like this day by day.
Until yesterday.
Dr. Jiang continued his research as usual.
The progress of cracking the emotional chip was still very slow, and he was going to start working on other projects.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
He seemed to be suddenly invaded, and fell straight to the ground, dead.
This is what Lu Wen and Yin June see now.
Lu Wen read all the data circulating within the institute during that time period, but did not find any abnormalities.
"Strange... Could it be that someone invaded the institute's system, attacked the doctor, and then erased the traces of the invasion?"
After Dr. Jiang analyzed the Lu Wen chip last time.
Told him once.
There is a mysterious being watching him.
Is this No. 1 chip also under surveillance? Did the person behind the scenes take action against the Doctor? In addition to Yin Long, did anyone else know that he put in nine chips
But with Dr. Jiang's caution, if it was really that person, he would definitely not take action directly, otherwise he would alert the snake.
Last time he reminded Lu Wen in a very subtle way.
"Lu Wen, did you find anything?" Yin Liuyue asked.
"No."
Lu Wen shook his head and turned back to the doctor's fallen body.
He slowly squatted down.
Reach out and hold the doctor's arm to start data transmission.
This is actually a very dangerous move. If the other party leaves a virus-like program in Dr. Jiang's body, ordinary androids will simply not be able to resist it.
But Lu Wen is fearless and no one can control him.
Soon, his expression turned ugly.
"What's wrong?" Yin Liuyue asked hurriedly.
"The doctor's data has been erased. His four chips are all empty. There is no data left. He... is as if he has never existed."
"This...doctor, he still has data backup, he can definitely be resurrected."
"You are the doctor's assistant. Do you know where he keeps the data backup?"
"I... Doctor, he never told me..." Yin Liuyue looked a little flustered. As an assistant, she felt that she was too incompetent at this time.
Lu Wen stood up immediately.
He tried to find Dr. Jiang's own data among the institute's huge data, but found nothing.
Yin June also began to rummage through boxes and cabinets throughout the institute, trying to find physical data backups.
But both knew it.
Dr. Jiang is very confident in himself. He can go to any corner of the world at will.
so he…
Is it possible that there is no physical data backup left at all
"If you really can't find anything."
"And the Doctor didn't leave any clones anywhere else."
"So… "
Dr. Jiang has completely disappeared from this world.
Lu Wen tried his best to think on the bright side.
He searched carefully in the institute's data and looked at the projects Dr. Jiang was currently working on.
and determine where the Doctor may have been recently.
…
at the same time.
Something happened here in Mowu City as well.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Wei Boyan is complaining to Lu Wen, saying that his fans have been urging him to run for mayor recently.
In terms of popularity alone, for the position of mayor now, the one with the highest voice is actually Lu Wen, but everyone knows that Lu Wen is a bionic man and cannot become the mayor of a human city, so those guys are actually a bit of a prank. After all, Lu Wen is so popular now.
A new round of mayoral election has begun. As long as there is enough support, the campaign can begin.
The combined support rate of other campaigners now is less than half of Wei Bo'an's.
Wei Boyan, on the other hand, participated passively.
While the two were chatting, they received the news.
"When an entrepreneur dies, he is a philanthropist." Wei Boyan said.
"Philanthropist?" Lu Wen was slightly skeptical.
"A true philanthropist has personally established many charitable organizations and donates a large amount of money and materials every year to help develop remote areas."
There was nothing black about the old philanthropist who died.
According to Wei Bo'an's information, he is a pure good person, praised by everyone and has high prestige.
Of course, even so, his death should not alarm Wei Boyan and Lu Wen.
After all, the old philanthropist lived in the Fifth District.
His death should be held by the Executive Directorate of District 5.
However, District 5 notified Wei Boyan and told him the whole story.
"It was the android's hand that moved it."
Wei Boyan shared the news with Lu Wen.
Some video materials are very direct.
inside the video.
The bionic man appeared out of nowhere, shot the old philanthropist to death, and then drove away in a panic.
On the way to escape, three innocent passers-by were killed one after another.
Four others were seriously injured and were being rescued, while 11 others were slightly injured.
and caused traffic jams for half an hour.
"This was a vicious homicide."
"The old philanthropist has not made any discriminatory remarks against androids. He is also relatively frugal and has never hired any androids..."
"Let's go to District 5 immediately."
This time is very delicate.
Mowu City has just experienced large-scale anti-android demonstrations, cleanups of hidden androids, and peace talks.
Public attitudes towards androids are complex.
Sudden murders will once again push the group of androids to the forefront.
Everything is a little confusing.
But Lu Wen smelled a familiar smell in it.
"Number Zero... are you back?"
