"Someone is missing."
"who?"
"A lot of people."
Mowu City is still busy at five o'clock in the afternoon.
The first day of peace.
Heavy machinery and armored vehicles crisscrossed the roads.
Construction workers passed by heavily armed soldiers.
Knock down and rebuild.
According to the rules of history, many people know that there will be new prosperity after the disaster, and they will become witnesses and witnesses of the prosperity.
The city is still on high alert to prevent androids or other criminals from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
This 'missing' news quickly attracted the attention of the Executive Directorate.
It was because of this news that Lu Wen left Li Meng and returned to the city.
Missing people happen all the time. Before the android riots, homeless people in every city were often the ones who were 'disappeared'.
To this end, nine cities have established missing persons archives and will conduct comparative investigations when necessary.
This kind of thing was actually not a big deal in the past.
But this time is too special.
And too many people suddenly disappeared.
"Could it be made by androids again?"
"Don't blame the androids for everything. What do they want from humans?"
The executive bureau of District 9 became the center of discussions.
The aftermath of the riots has not yet been cleared up.
Many influential people are here to get the latest news or participate in discussions.
"Lu Wen is here, let's ask him first."
Everyone now attaches great importance to Lu Wen's opinion.
Except for Lu Wen, everyone present was human.
Only Lu Wen can communicate with A00 and obtain information from Eden. Lu Wen's performance during the last riot was also recognized by all the people in Mowu City.
He is now the only android trusted by the entire city of Mowu.
Many fans of Lu Wen posted comments on the Internet, saying that they were right to follow him.
So if Yin Long's previous plan really succeeded, then Lu Wen might indeed become one of the leaders of the captive humans.
"First tell me what happened."
"At 11:30 this morning, the location was a reconstruction project in the first district. A team of workers at the construction site took a rest according to the prescribed time."
It's hot summer now.
Construction starts quite early to avoid the hottest period at noon.
In the past, bionic people made up for this hot period, so efficiency could be guaranteed, but now bionic people cannot be trusted, and all construction has returned to the way it was decades ago.
"But at three o'clock in the afternoon, when it was time to start work, the team of 19 workers did not arrive on time..."
Those workers did not report to work, could not be contacted, and there was no one in their dormitories. They seemed to have disappeared.
The construction site leader immediately checked the monitoring.
After discovering that something was wrong, we immediately contacted the Executive Directorate.
"A total of nine such reports have been received today. The missing persons include catering, nursing, medical, transportation and other industries. There is already a small-scale panic, which is why we are so anxious to call everyone."
"Now that Lu Wen is here, everyone can express their opinions."
no doubt.
Everyone felt that this thing looked familiar, a bit like a replica of the early stage of the android riot.
Otherwise, they would not wait until Lu Wen came over to discuss it.
"A week ago, when the androids started having problems, it started on a small scale. There were only a few at first, and then more and more, until a full-scale riot."
The person speaking was a sitting member of Parliament.
Lu Wen had the impression that this congressman was a member of an anti-android force and often made remarks about hating androids on the Internet.
This is largely how he got his parliamentary seat, with the support of a large number of anti-android people.
The intention of this statement is also obvious.
I want to pin this on the android's head in advance.
"Don't jump to conclusions yet. All the androids are out of control, and that kind of thing won't happen again," Wei Boyan said.
"Brother Wei, I just want to remind everyone that the so-called 'androids are out of control' is a unilateral statement from Eden. No one can confirm it, and neither Bilan nor Core Red said anything." The man added. .
Another congressman who supports androids spoke up: "Bionics have been around for eighty years, and there have been no major problems in these eighty years. Are we going to stop eating because of choking just because of this incident?"
"That's not right... It's inappropriate to describe him as being unable to eat due to choking."
It was another MP who said this.
The same hostility.
"Even without the androids, Mowu City will still develop better and better, and the unemployment problem can be solved. There is no need to worry about the murders of the androids. This cannot be called giving up food because of choking."
He paused, then spoke again: "In fact, destroying all androids is indeed the most correct decision ever."
"If some people weren't too timid back then and always restricted the development of Bilan, how could this matter be so big?" Bilan's representative here couldn't help but say something.
Things started till now.
Bilan's stock has fallen below the lowest price in the past two decades, and it continues to fall with no sign of stopping.
From the top to the lowest level employees, everyone has been severely affected.
Many low-level employees will even face unemployment in the near future. It is very uncomfortable to be unemployed after such a disaster.
Xinhong also suffered heavy losses.
Both companies have completely halted production.
Fortunately, the two of them have developed other industries in the past few decades and can still barely maintain it. Otherwise, they would not be able to support it long ago.
Seeing that everyone was starting to make a fuss, the representative of Xinhong also said: "During the third generation of the product, the Floating City proposed to sanction our two companies, and the Mowu City Council seemed to be the first to agree? The bones are so soft, It’s worse than Central City. Not long ago, they lent their own army to an immortal commander who was over a hundred years old... "
"At that time, we just respected the wishes of the floating city."
"Haha, that sounds nice. If you don't know, you might think you're afraid of that city floating in the sky."
"Representative, please be careful what you say."
"How should I pay attention? How about I go back and ask the R&D department to get a swearing detector?"
“…”
More and more people are joining this discussion.
The general direction is anti-androids and pro-androids.
Everyone has their own little thoughts.
Others took the opportunity to verbally attack opponents with whom they had long had political disagreements.
"Some people support androids verbally and speak righteously, but who knows if they have interests in dealings with certain android companies behind the scenes? This kind of thing cannot withstand interrogation."
"Is this urgent? Who here is not here because of interests?"
"Oh, if you behave well, you can sit upright, and it doesn't matter who can't sit still..."
“…”
The atmosphere in the Ninth District Executive Bureau is usually quite harmonious.
Such an inexplicable quarrel suddenly broke out today.
And the noise is getting louder and louder.
Many superficial friends who seemed to have a good relationship are now quarreling, and some of them are even recognized by the public as old friends for decades.
"Everyone, can you stop making trouble?"
"Today we are going to talk about the disappearance case."
The director of the Ninth District Executive Bureau was helpless.
Although his voice alone was loud, it could not drown out the voices of the quarrel.
When people are emotionally excited, they can't hold back their voices, and they won't even pay attention to the level of business. The louder, the better.
The most important thing about scolding is that you must overpower the other party. The volume is a very important factor.
Many of you present have experienced political affairs. You are old androgynous people who usually hide their swords behind the scenes when talking about work. Now you can let go and have no scruples.
Everyone was blushing, spitting and pointing at each other.
The sound is getting louder and louder.
They were almost torn apart.
If this continues, it will definitely attract the attention of outside media.
At this time, internal strife suddenly broke out among the senior staff of Mowu City, which was not a good thing.
"Zi...Zi..."
The lights in the meeting hall suddenly began to flicker.
There was that terrifying and inexplicable sound of electricity again.
For a moment, everyone shut up.
Everyone calmed down and stopped arguing.
The flickering light flickered on their faces.
The scene in front of them reminded them of the night when the androids rioted.
Massive bloodshed.
Those deformed and distorted androids stained with human blood are still the shadow of many people. Many people now check every corner of their homes during a nap, even the ceilings.
Everyone in the executive bureau reacted the fastest.
At this time, he had already pulled out his gun and was staring at the surroundings cautiously.
"Everyone, just be quiet." Lu Wen said with a faint smile.
