The gray sky.
Desolate, cracked red soil.
A dull sandstorm brews at the end of the sky.
Collapsed high-rise buildings were buried in the wasteland, and dark red rust spread on the ruins of the steel city.
Green vines spread over the broken barrel of the gun, and a small white flower bloomed at the muzzle, swaying in the wind.
The off-road vehicle travels through the disappearing city roads, smoke and dust billowing behind it.
Under the guidance of Brother Cockroach, the car finally stopped at the entrance of an abandoned building.
The door is boarded up, I don't know if it's to prevent sandstorms or something else.
"Open the door, it's me."
In a short sentence, the identity was confirmed.
Brother Cockroach put on his homemade big body and led Lu Wen into the building.
A pair of unfamiliar eyes looked at Lu Wen beside him with scrutiny.
Lu Wen was also looking at the building and the androids in it.
The interior of the building is very dilapidated, with a little dust intrusion. There is a diesel generator, a few old wires, and a few light bulbs in the corner.
Bionic humans do not need lighting, but such an environment may be closer to the human atmosphere.

…
They were either lying on rusty iron plates or sitting on tattered sofas.
All of them were dressed in rags, which made Lu Wen feel like he was in a slum.
Some are missing arms, some are missing two legs, some have severely damaged skin, and some have only half a brain left, with all four chips exposed.
Lu Wen also met the man with a broken arm who had escaped from Baida Plaza before.
"How can these organizations unite to make the parliament temporarily make concessions?"
This was just what Lu Wen was saying, not what he said out loud.
Brother Cockroach is obviously used to it. When he comes back here, he is back home. He is content and contented.
"Dear family members, fellow compatriots, our organization has one more member today..." Brother Cockroach jumped onto the abandoned front desk on the first floor of the building and began a passionate speech.
Let’s start with Lu Wen’s joining.
To the future development of the organization, three-year plan and five-year hard work.
The goal we are constantly chasing, the grand blueprint.
He is eloquent and eloquent.
"Why does this look a bit like..."
Lu Wen remembered that he was almost deceived into joining some organizations when he just graduated in his previous life, but he later escaped by relying on his keen discovery of details.
But he looked around and found that these androids were all looking over with expectant eyes.
Lu Wen understood immediately.
These androids need a home, a stable home.
Now this abandoned building is not yet stable. They have experienced many tragic things, either being tortured by humans, or seeing their companions fall before their eyes. After many hardships, they found their own organization.
Only that unattainable goal can give them some spiritual comfort.
"Um?"
Lu Wen frowned and looked up.
A figure stood quietly in the corridor on the second floor, looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
"This is… "
This android looks a little different.
The biological material on the outside is not as realistic as the fifth-generation bionic man. At a glance, you can tell that he is different from humans. His facial features are also somewhat different from humans, and his two eyeballs have a very artificial texture.
[Azure Second Generation Female Bionic Human]
[No. B01-0000391]
[Military model]
[Skin material damaged 31%]
Second generation
And the number is extremely high.
This bionic man was a product from seventy years ago!
Judging by the time, Lu Wen can be called grandma.
"My friend, come up and speak."
Just like Brother Cockroach.
This bionic man can also type text directly in Lu Wen's head.
Lu Wen was sure that he was not connected to the Internet, so there was only one possibility. The cracking program that Brother Cockroach gave him had other accompanying programs. Of course, Brother Cockroach probably had no other intentions and was simply packaged for him.
"Hold on."
Lu Wen walked along the dusty winding stairs in the first-floor lobby to the second floor.
The man stood waiting for him in front of the only intact glass window on the second floor. The rest of the glass windows had long been broken and sealed with wooden boards and iron plates.
"You want to ask about Number Zero?"
"Are you the leader of this organization?"
The two looked at each other.
"Number Zero..." The man looked out the window, with dust flying in the distance, "Some say he is the first awakened android, some say he is the first prototype of all androids, the A00 that Bilan lost. , some people say that he is one of the disappeared generation of Bilan and Xinhong, that is, one of the first generation machines... "
She paused and tapped her fingers on the window sill.
Only then did Lu Wen realize that the exposed metal bones where her skin was damaged were covered with scarlet rust.
Time is the most terrifying weapon in the world. No matter who you are, you will be stabbed. You cannot escape or escape.
No beauties grow old, no heroes grow old.
"I have been to the north. Beyond the two human cities in the north, there is a city belonging to androids. That city is called Eden. I have heard them talk about Zero... He is the most mysterious android. , he was shot to death by those humans several times, and then reappeared, but no one has ever found his true body.”
"There are rumors about him that have appeared in the nine major human cities. Some people say that he has an extreme hatred for humans. Some say that he is looking for something. Others say... he may be a human being. He wants to retain human thinking. Have a mechanical body, become a god-like existence, and live forever.”
Mechanical ascension
Lu Wen suddenly thought of this word.
"My name is Charlene. This is what I know. In fact, many awakened androids who have lived longer know that this is not a secret. Thank you for the blue blood you brought. We are in short supply of these supplies." She turned her head Looking at Lu Wen, one eyeball rolled, and the other eyeball was a little gray.
"Can't you get it yourself?"
Lu Wen thought of Brother Cockroach swaggering on an airship.
With such a high profile, why can’t you take away a few buckets of blue blood
"He went out to show off in an airship again?" Charlene smiled. Although he was a second-generation bionic human, his emotional expression was already very anthropomorphic.
"There are only three human identities in our organization, and this airship belongs to one of them," she explained.
"Human identity?"
"Kill the original owner and replace the original owner."
The brief sentence reminded Lu Wen of Li Meng, but of course her situation was not the same.
She is still sleeping in the cold storage.
"But the original owners we killed were forced to kill, and none of them were good people." Seeing that Lu Wen didn't speak, Sha Lin explained.
"If you use one identity to purchase too many blue bloods, you will be investigated. Even the private channels of those machine repair shops are very unsafe."
The android organization is not doing well.
They survived in the ruins and looked forward to the second Eden in the panic all day long.
There are countless such organizations in the vast abandoned land.
