Bionic Era

Chapter 329: haven't seen you for a long time

Views:

"Just show them off as soon as you see them." Xia Chuluo said calmly.

"That may lead to being controlled by your opponent until death." Lu Wen analyzed it carefully for her.

"Besides Yin Long, do you know who the other opponents are?"

"have no idea."

"Then do you know what your opponent is going to do?"

"do not know either."

"Then wait for the opponent to reveal the information. Since the opponent did not let Yin Long control you, he naturally has a purpose. You are still valuable. This is your advantage. He will take the initiative to find you."

Xia Chuluo can always simplify things.

Yin Long failed to control Lu Wen at that time.

There are two possibilities.

One is that the real Yin Long changed his mind at some stage and felt that Lu Wen had other uses, so he tricked the mechanical Yin Long.

The other is that Yin Long has an opponent, or a colleague with whom he disagrees, and that person needs Lu Wen to do something.

Xia Chuluo preferred the latter.

"You see, you always like to think about things too complicatedly. In the two months since it was turned on, you have learned nothing but a lot of conspiracy theories." Xia Chuluo said.

"That's true..."

Lu Wen actually wanted to refute.

After all, in the two months since it started, all I have dealt with are very scheming guys.

He had to think a little more to prevent himself from being tricked.

The only human being in the world who can be completely trusted is Xia Chuluo.

Even that guy Wei Boyan has a criminal record, and he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and you will be tricked by him if you are not careful.

"Your biggest danger now comes from yourself. Your background is quite problematic. Aside from the emotional chip, I'm worried that there will be problems with your other chips." Xia Chuluo said.

"Probably not. The data in those chips were analyzed by Dr. Jiang, and I can see it myself."

"When can No. 1's emotional chip be analyzed?"

"Tomorrow morning, Dr. Jiang and I are working hard. Yin Long's technology is indeed amazing,"

This night is quieter.

But some people don't sleep soundly.

After the riots subsided, the number of deaths decreased significantly, but that does not mean that there were no deaths.

Dawn the next day.

People were surprised to find that many people died that night.

Mostly accidents.

Others had accidents in places where surveillance cameras could not see them, and it is not known how they died.

They all died very simply, without making much noise before they died.

"Did the androids do it?"

"There is no need for the androids to do these things secretly. Don't always force any accidents on the androids."

This large-scale accidental death around the world has triggered a lot of discussion.

The question of whether androids should stay or go has also been brought up by this topic.

Many people are still wondering why the parliament has not launched a referendum.

The councils of the nine cities did not give timely answers, leaving these people to discuss.

Only a very few people know.

These people who died seemed to have some connection with Number Zero.

If nothing else, they should all be controlled by Zero. The degree of control is so deep that there is no way to save them.

Death is indeed the best destination for these people.

Here in Baker City.

Lu Wen and Dr. Jiang are in trouble with their research on chips.

The estimated time is this morning.

It stands to reason that No. 1's emotional chip should have been cracked at this point in time.

But both were stuck.

"Only a few control programs have been discovered so far, and the rest are all self-destruction programs. It is not clear what is inside. It will take a long time to continue analyzing. If you forcefully crack it, the possibility of causing self-destruction is almost 100%." Jiang said the doctor.

"This is quite troublesome."

There's no way to figure out what the data is.

Don't understand your opponent's purpose.

It's really just a matter of trial and error.

Just when the two were at a loss what to do, Consciousness No. 1 on the side suddenly spoke.

"Lu Wen, I seem to have remembered something in the past two days. It was a dust-laden memory from my previous life."

"Don't always mention your last life. You don't have a previous life."

"No, I'm pretty sure I do."

If Huang Liang did that, No. 1 also started to recall something.

This made him more determined to be a reborn person.

No. 1 gave Lu Wen a detailed description of what he saw in his memories.

It's still that darkness.

It’s almost the same as Huang Liang’s.

Lu Wen also saw it last night.

this morning.

Something unusual happened in the city of Mowu.

Wei Bo'an became the interim mayor.

There is no voting, no other candidates, no months or even a year of preparation, speeches, fighting and canvassing, all the cumbersome and complicated things of the past.

That's how he became mayor.

The city of Mow now needs a representative.

Lu Wen is well-known enough, but he is a bionic man.

There are also some old congressmen and people with relatively high reputations, but their courage and execution ability are not enough.

Simply put, he is not young enough to withstand such a situation.

The current situation is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will happen next moment. If something big happens, the mayor will always be blamed.

So Wei Boan still had to come.

These congressmen and representatives from all walks of life are very keen. The events of the past two days have made them realize that the calm after the riots subsided will not last long.

As soon as Wei Bo'an became the interim mayor, he amended a bill and quickly passed the two votes of the parliament for confirmation.

This is the fastest mayoral decision ever passed.

Even the people were not notified.

There was no collection of public will.

It was passed without waiting for feedback from public opinion.

[Reinstate the death penalty]

Many residents learned of the new resolution as soon as they woke up.

Suddenly the person woke up.

The entire Mowu City quickly became boiling.

People have lost count of how many years it has been since the death penalty was abolished.

Whenever they see those people who have committed heinous crimes being arrested and imprisoned, there are many people with an explosive sense of justice who are itching to hate them.

"The death penalty has finally been reinstated. I didn't expect to see this day in my lifetime."

"The parliament said that now is a special period. Many prison inmates have escaped, and some people with evil intentions have taken the opportunity to cause trouble, so they have reinstated the death penalty to have a deterrent effect."

The law stipulates that the punishment of criminals is not to punish, but to prevent crime.

The crime detection rate in Mowu City is actually not high. It is better in urban areas. In the suburbs or more remote towns, the crime detection rate is pitifully low. Many cases have become unsolved, and many more have been solved by accident.

People started discussing.

The first is Wei Bo'an becoming the interim mayor.

All were unanimously supportive.

After all, the last one was defeated by Wei Boan and Lu Wen.

Moreover, Wei Boyan is young and his deeds in the 10th District are well known.

Compared to an old man in his 60s or 70s, many residents prefer a young, muscular guy like Wei Bo'an to become the mayor.

Another focus of discussion was the reason for the abolition of the death penalty in the first place.

There are different opinions on this.

Some said it was for humanitarian reasons, and then explained a lot.

Others say it is to avoid misjudgment.

There have indeed been some cases in recent years where people were imprisoned for more than ten or twenty years, only to find out in the end that they were wrongly accused. If they really died, even if the case was overturned, it would not help. That would be a real death with no peace of mind.

It is also said that at that time, many high-level officials in Mowu City had done extraordinary things and were worried that the death penalty would be applied to them, so they abolished it.

In short, the reinstatement of the death penalty is great news for many residents of Mowu City.

It’s noon this day.

Lu Wen found Wei Boyan in District 15.

This is a cemetery.

All tombstones.

Well-proportioned.

It's very quiet and there are very few people coming and going.

Nameless white flowers bloomed on the grass, adding some embellishment to the silence.

Feng Fugui's tomb is here.

He was very frugal when he was alive, but he only used such a small piece of land after his death, and his will only contained a few words.

This kind of life is very monotonous, even boring in the eyes of many people.

It can't be said that his death brought Wei Boyan a new life, but it's not too far off.

The human heart is a very complicated thing, and Lu Wen doesn't want to speculate too much. Thinking too much will indeed be very tiring.

"Death is actually not scary." Wei Boyan realized that someone was behind him, and he could guess it was Lu Wen, "It's just like closing your eyes. It's pitch black and there is no light source. If you are fully prepared and have no regrets, you can let go of everything. Enjoy that feeling.”

"So the living people have to bear something." Lu Wen said.

"You should be very busy now."

"Everyone is busy right now."

Mowu City on this day can indeed be linked to the word busy.

The rebuilding project was busy.

We are also very busy externally.

The source of the bombs that exploded is still not clear. Although there are signs of the Mowu City Army, it is impossible to figure out which army the bombs were leaked from.

The people of Mowu City also gradually learned the news.

After the floating city fell, the communications in the nine cities recovered a lot and were no longer as independent as before.

This time the android riots have even narrowed the distance between the news media in nine cities.

The public opinion caused by the explosion in West City was more like a trigger.

People in both cities gradually began to lose control of their emotions and began to quarrel with each other.

The riots left many people unemployed and at home.

These people have a lot of free time and are merciless when it comes to trolling people.

"You have to face this kind of thing when you first become mayor. What are your thoughts now?" Lu Wen asked with a smile.

"They pushed me out with the intention of taking the blame and getting scolded. Of course I understand."

Wei Boyan saw things thoroughly and calmly.

When you sit in this position, you naturally have to endure something.

"Actually, what troubles me more is the disappearance case. Even the little geniuses can't be traced. Those people really disappeared from the world." Wei Boyan said.

"I'll pay close attention. I happen to be relatively free these days."

Lu Wen did not tell Wei Boyan that he had obtained the authority.

Knowing this news is not a good thing for this middle-aged man, and it may also make him targeted by those behind the scenes.

Lu Wen is now monitoring the entire Mowu City.

Be on high alert.

He didn't miss any corner he could see.

He's waiting for a missing person case.

Wait for those people to take action.

A busy day passes quickly.

Various public opinions are still fermenting.

Panic did not spread successfully.

There were no missing cases all day long, which made Lu Wen almost doubt his ability.

At six o'clock that evening, there was finally some movement.

Right in District 13.

A large area that Lu Wen is most familiar with.

A group of three people, who seemed to be colleagues who had just gotten off work, were walking on the streets at dusk, talking and laughing.

But when they passed by a small alley where the surveillance camera was broken.

Said laughter disappeared.

All three of them fainted.

I don’t know what methods the other party used, but there are so many chemical drugs that can make people faint these days, and Lu Wen doesn’t bother to think about it.

The street was deserted and empty of people.

Lu Wen witnessed all this through the eyes of an android.

The three men were packed into a black van.

The van faced the setting sun and drove towards the road outside the city. Perhaps it was worried about attracting attention, so the speed was moderate and not too slow.

Lu Wen was not in a hurry to take action.

He followed.

It is still not completely confirmed that the ones who took action this time are the same force as the nine cases yesterday. If they take action rashly at this time, they may alert the snake.

At half past six in the evening, the van drove into the suburbs of the city.

Lu Wen drove the car and followed quite far behind. Several kilometers away, it was impossible to tell that he was following.

There was no positioning device on the van, so Lu Wen called the low-Earth satellite over the nearby area.

The car picked up speed after leaving the city, quite fast.

Modified, ordinary vans can't go that fast.

Before seven o'clock, we drove out of the suburbs of the city and began to shuttle between large and small towns.

eight pm.

The car was almost reaching the last town.

After passing this small town, not far away is the no-man's land.

Lu Wen was finally sure.

It's indeed the same group of people.

So he sped up and chased after her.

But soon he discovered something unusual.

"Stopped?"

The van stopped at the entrance to the town.

The driver's seat opens.

A young man came down, in his early twenties.

It was this young man who stunned the three office workers just now and put them into the car.

After he got off the car, he slowly walked under the surveillance camera at the entrance of the town, raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, raised his head and said two words to the surveillance camera.

That monitor has no sound.

But by analyzing lip reading.

The system gave the answer.

Those two words are...

[No.9]

The young man knew that Lu Wen was following him.

And he is waiting for Lu Wen here.

It seemed that he wanted to chat with Lu Wen alone in this place near no man's land.

Not a moment.

Lu Wen arrived by car.

It's almost 8:30 in the evening. The street lights in the town are all on, and the residents and shops on both sides of the road are also turning on their lights.

The wind and sand in the no-man's land can already be felt here, but it is weaker.

The young man leaned against the car.

Lu Wen got off the car.

The two looked at each other.

It was the man who spoke first.

He smiled faintly and said, "No. 9, long time no see."

Lu Wen frowned and said indifferently: "We have known each other before?"

"Of course we know each other." The young man looked at him with a smile, "That was a long, long time ago."

"how long?"

"More than two months."

Good night, fellow book friends!
