"brush!"
The car door opens.
A few reformers came down.
The atmosphere in the whole street suddenly became tense.
A pair of people looked at the old van with fearful eyes.
Children hide behind their adults.
Even the coughing blue people tried to lower their voices at this moment. Although it was uncomfortable, they did not dare to attract the attention of the transformed people.
The corpse collector stopped counting the money.
He squinted his eyes slightly and began to think about how many corpses needed to be taken away this morning and whether his dilapidated old tricycle could fit it. At the same time, he also glanced at Lu Wen...
In his opinion, this young man was of noble birth and should have a lot of money after his death.
I just hope that these guys on the second floor won't rob him of people's money.
"Be careful, the boss has specially warned you about these medicines, don't touch them."
"I know, don't talk so much nonsense. This medicine is not so fragile."
"Keep your voice down, Mr. Xia is watching..."
The subsequent plot development is not what the corpse collector expected.
These reformers didn't come over to ask him about the corpse, and they didn't even look at it.
It was as if the headless corpse lying on the ground was not one of them.
This is rather strange.
The second floor will maintain its dignity. In the past, if a member died, a few people would be killed as a warning.
I saw a few reformers working together to carry a large box out from the back of the van.
This kind of box has been seen by all the blue people on this street. It is used to carry medicines, but it is not so big in the past. It is usually carried behind the backs of those selling medicine.
"Mr. Xia, this is the follow-up deal that you and the boss negotiated last night."
Several modified people placed the box in front of Lu Wen.
The metal box was as tall as half a person, but the dwarf old lady was only slightly taller than the box.
The number of potions that can be contained in this...
It’s a bit surprising when you think about it.
The corpse collector was stunned. He had collected corpses for most of his life, and he had never seen so many genetic potions of blue people at one time.
What surprised him even more was the attitude of these reformers.
Respect, humility, obedience.
There seems to be a hint of... fear.
"If we have a cooperative relationship with the old man Jinxiong, it is enough for these little gangsters to be respectful, and there is no need to be afraid. Did something happen..."
The body collector got up too early today and didn't have time to hear what happened last night.
This is a mixed area after all, and not everyone has a mobile phone.
Communication relies entirely on word of mouth, which is very backward.
So when Lu Wen first arrived here, he always had the feeling of going back hundreds of years and living in an old era.
"Snapped!"
The buckle on the metal box opened with a crisp sound.
As the box opened, dark blue potions appeared in everyone's sight.
Neatly arranged, layer upon layer, in the early morning light, each one is shining with the light of money and hope.
"So many?" Lu Wen asked.
"We have channels to get the goods, but this stuff is not valuable, so the boss asked us to get more."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"No, no, it should be."
Several reformers were a little frightened and lowered their heads in response.
"Mr. Xia, do you have anything to give me?"
"nothing."
"Then... let's go back first?"
"Um."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the car one after another, and drove away in a hurry.
From the looks of it, it seemed that being too close to Lu Wen would put some pressure that they couldn't bear.
The corpse collector kept staring at the departing van. After the people had gone away, he looked back, turned to Lu Wen and said, "I'm really sorry, distinguished guest, if there was any offense in what I just said, I apologize to you."
"Nothing, just pack up the body and try not to leave any blood stains on the ground."
"No problem, this is my responsibility."
The corpse collector stopped talking and began to concentrate on collecting the corpses.
As he dealt with the blood stains, he thought to himself that he would inquire about the news when he returned. Something big must have happened last night.
Lu Wen turned to look at the shocked Christo at the door, patted the box and asked, "What do you want to do with these potions?"
"Me... me?" Christo covered her mouth. There were hundreds of potions in this box, enough for an ordinary blue man to last a lifetime.
She blinked her big eyes, as if she was quickly sorting out the messy thoughts.
"Well, come on." Lu Wen nodded.
"I... I want..."
Christo looked at the blue people walking out of their houses on the street, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
But she looked at Lu Wen again, and these hesitations quickly disappeared, and then said: "I want to distribute some of these medicines."
"Okay, the decision is in your hands."
These drugs are of no use to Lu Wen and are worthless to him.
So he gave it to Christo.
In his calculation, there was a 78% chance that Christo would send it out.
Some people here are poor and kind.
If it were in the surface world, over there in Mowu City, people who are too kind are often weak in daily life and usually can't make much money. This is especially true in Baker City. In that chaotic city, kind people can't even survive. The chances are not very high.
So after Lu Wen turned on the phone, everyone he met was more or less cunning and cunning, and more selfish. They would do whatever it took to achieve their own ends, such as Wei Bo'an.
Death is a very close thing to blue people.
These potions can make them farther away from death.
Hundreds of blue people live on this street.
When they took the potion, their eyes were filled with fear and gratitude, two not-so-complex emotions.
The fear is for Lu Wen, and the gratitude is for Christo.
Some people also thanked Lu Wen.
"Dear guest, thank you for your generosity."
Lu Wen responded with a faint smile.
There was nothing to do during the day, and he had made an appointment with Jin Xiong in the evening.
Some blue people are too weak, and Christo will send them to them personally.
In a shabby little bungalow near the end of the street lay a pregnant blue woman.
This small bungalow was where Christo delivered the first potion.
Lu Wen stood at the door and took a look.
The blue woman's belly was fairly flat, but her cough was quite severe.
[Estimated two months pregnant]
[Less than five months remaining in life]
In the past few days, Lu Wen had met many blue people.
It can be roughly inferred how long each blue person can survive after losing the support of medicine.
The pregnant blue person in the room looked haggard, her lips were white, and she was so skinny that it was difficult to even get up from the bed. There was no man in the family, and the child was an accident. She usually relied on the help of the kind-hearted neighbors around her. , can barely survive until now.
The five months given by the system is actually too much.
Without the medicine, whether he could survive more than three months was a question.
If he dies a few months later, he will lose two lives.
If Lu Wen had not come to this street, the subsequent situation would have developed as the system deduced.
There are many such things in this mixed zone of the underground world. Blue people are dying every day. The average life span of this race is very short.
However, they did not need genetic medicine when they were young, and they began to suffer from diseases as adults.
This keeps the blue people from becoming extinct.
Death and rebirth are constantly happening within this race.
"Buzzing..."
"Buzzing..."
Some kind of disgusting sound suddenly sounded beside Lu Wen.
It's a mosquito.
Lu Wen rarely hates anything. As an android, he shouldn't hate this kind of creature. After all, mosquitoes can't suck blue blood.
But in the memory that Yin Long gave him, he was once tortured by mosquitoes and almost went crazy.
The existence of this creature seems to be a mistake of the Creator.
Not far from Lu Wen.
A mosquito is vibrating its wings rapidly, and this "buzzing" sound is caused by the vibration of its wings.
Judging from its flight path, it should be flying into the room of this pregnant blue woman.
Lu Wen frowned and discovered something unusual.
With quick eyes and quick hands, he pinched the mosquito's feet.
After the mosquito is caught, it flaps its wings more and more frequently, and the "buzzing" sound never stops.
[Mechanical Mosquito]
This is what's unusual.
The last time I saw a mechanical mosquito was when I was dealing with Jiang Xiaonian.
Jiang Xiaonian once used mosquitoes as carriers to inject control programs into bionic humans. Even military-type bionic humans were inevitably controlled by him.
[There is some kind of fluid in the abdomen]
This is why Lu Wen noticed this mosquito.
This mosquito is actually very small, smaller than an ordinary mosquito. It can easily be ignored by the naked eyes of flesh and blood creatures.
Lu Wen stretched out his right hand.
The bionic material on my hands fades away little by little.
The thin metal layers inside also recede piece by piece, exposing the innermost complex structure.
A slender silver-white needle protruded from his wrist, and the sharp needle pierced the mosquito's abdomen.
A flash of color quickly appeared on the long and narrow transparent needle at the back.
[blue]
During the process of extracting the fluid from the mosquito's abdomen, the mosquito kept vibrating its wings in an attempt to leave.
After all liquids have been completely removed.
Lu Wen loosened his fingers.
The mosquito resumed its flight, swinging towards the pregnant blue woman in the room.
The instructions for this little mechanical mosquito seem simple.
Under Lu Wen's gaze, the mosquito landed on the blue man's arm. During this period, Christo and the pregnant woman in the room had been chatting without noticing.
Then there is the action of piercing the skin, similar to absorbing blood.
[injection]
[No reaction]
After a while, the mosquito swayed away again.
The blue woman didn't notice.
Perhaps at the moment of injection, the mosquito releases the drug used for anesthesia.
The entire process was recorded by Lu Wen.
He was looking forward to seeing whether the child born to this woman would have normal skin color or blue after giving birth a few months later.
…
The surface world.
Mowu City.
Cafe.
It was a rare day without clouds.
The bright morning light shines on every street.
The music in the cafe is soothing, and there are floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street. The sunlight just shines in, which is very warm and can dispel the haze of the whole day.
Xia Chuluo sat by the window, looking outside, her beautiful eyes lowered.
"Miss Xia, here are your sandwiches and toasted milk pudding."
A simple breakfast.
A very gentle voice.
The person who brought breakfast was a well-dressed young man, not a waiter here.
He has fair skin and regular facial features. He always has a gentle smile on his face, which is both literary and elegant.
"Do you mind if I sit across from you?" He asked with a smile and a soft voice.
"Yeah." Xia Chuluo responded lightly.
So the young man sat down slowly, every move he made was very gentle, his gentle movements were like an elegant nobleman who came out of the classical century, as if he was afraid of disturbing Xia Chuluo.
The sun shone on him, and his gentle smile seemed a little brighter.
He looked at Xia Chuluo with deep eyes and said with a chuckle: "Too Fuller once said that light is the eldest daughter of God... Miss Xia, you sit here quietly, making the beauty of the morning sun dim a lot. "
"Why don't you go find Lu Wen?" Xia Chuluo glanced at him lightly.
The young man was stunned.
"You know me?"
"Number five."
"Did I... do something that gave me away?"
"No."
"Then you are..."
"Guess."
“…”
The young man was silent for a moment.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, his identity was guessed.
This killed many of the words he had prepared in his mind.
"Can you really guess so accurately?" He seemed reluctant to believe it, so he asked, his voice still soft, "Did Lu Wen tell you?"
"no."
"you… "
"Currently, only No. 2 is left. No. 4 and No. 5 have not appeared. There is a one-third chance."
“…”
No. 5 did not expect that he would be hit by a third.
He was not surprised by Xia Chuluo's decisiveness. Before coming, he had collected all Xia Chuluo's information.
As a walking computer, it doesn't take much time to browse through information.
"Why don't you go find Lu Wen?" Xia Chuluo looked at him lightly.
"They all went to find No. 9, but they all failed. If it were one-on-one, they were all in the open. No one is No. 9's opponent now, so I came to find you."
No. 5 always had a smile on his face, a warm smile.
His appearance is very good, and it's easy to fall in love with him just by taking one look at him.
"When I really see you, I find that you are countless times more beautiful than in the photos and videos. If you had long hair, you might have become a goddess among those people."
From the moment No. 5 sat down until now, he has never stopped praising Xia Chuluo's beauty.
"Your wisdom is even more admirable. The more I study you, the easier it is to become addicted to you... Please forgive my presumption."
"I don't think you came today to say compliments."
"No, everything I say is heartfelt and comes from my heart."
"You came to kill me."
Xia Chuluo's expression was indifferent.
After finishing speaking, she calmly picked up the small spoon on the dinner plate and started eating breakfast.
Every move in the restaurant is under her surveillance.
Xia Chuluo was born with stronger senses than normal people. After training, her grasp of details has become extremely strong.
She could hear the "ding" of the oven ending, the exchanges in the kitchen behind, the whispers of the guests in front, and she could distinguish the countless mixed flavors one by one.
So she knew that this breakfast was non-toxic and no one was tampering with it.
Number 5 must have been aware of her abilities, so he wasn't stupid enough to resort to poisoning.
“Ms.
"Lu Wen has already told me this set of rhetoric."
"I really just want to meet you. After knowing that I am just a machine, I have always envied No. 9 and Yin Long for arranging for him to meet you. After all, being able to accompany such a flawless lady like you is one of the few in this world. It’s an honor.”
"Do you know the terrain here?"
Xia Chuluo put the spoon on the plate and didn't eat much.
Maybe it wasn't to my liking, or maybe it was disturbed by No. 5's chatter.
She leaned back slightly and looked at No. 5 lightly.
No. 5 was stunned by Xia Chuluo's sudden question.
Not everyone can adapt to this strong sense of jumping when chatting with Xia Chuluo.
It seemed that one moment they were talking about what to eat for lunch, and the next moment they suddenly talked about space war plans and space colonization.
He hesitated to speak: "I have a map of this city in my mind, recording all the topography and landforms."
Xia Chuluo pointed outside casually.
"This is one of the business districts of Mowu City. There are many high-floor office buildings, so this coffee shop is opened here, targeting white-collar workers."
"you… "
No. 5 looked at Xia Chuluo, and then at the towering office buildings outside.
He didn't quite understand why Xia Chuluo suddenly started talking about the location of the coffee shop.
Xia Chuluo continued to say: "I am sitting on the side of the street. The opposite side of the street is empty. The building opposite was damaged in the last android riot, so it has been blasted. Now the outside view is wide."
"There are three office buildings, 100 meters in front of me on the left, 200 meters on the left, and 150 meters behind me. These three office buildings just half surround the left side of this coffee shop. It is morning and the sun is shining It’s our side.”
"For the sake of caution, the sniper would not choose the front left or the left side even if the chance of the scope reflecting light was low, so he should be behind and to my left, looking at me with the scope."
“As for the floor height…”
Xia Chuluo paused and thought for a moment.
"The 13th and 15th floors of the building opposite have not been rented out yet, and there is no surveillance. Considering the human interference factor, he is more likely to be on the 15th floor."
No. 5 listened to Xia Chuluo's analysis, and the smile that had been on his face gradually became stiff.
After listening, he hurriedly said: "Miss Xia, you must believe me. I will not bring any snipers here. I can swear on my personal honor."
"It can be seen that you have good conditions after starting up, so you can receive a good education. In the next few years, you will be in contact with celebrities and nobles. In the West?"
"right."
"The group of imbeciles in the West who can't even defend their own cities can't give you the best education. They just cultivate you into a trash talk full of sweet words."
