Dusk and Dawn Underground is rudimentary.
There is no setting sun, no morning glow.
When Lu Wen arrived outside the underground fortress, it was already dark.
"Xia Wen, my friend, we will take action at dawn, when the RA leaves the villa and is on his way to the Yao Ling Building. He has been keeping a low profile and has no bodyguards. We only need to deal with a driver..."
"Um."
It was a blow from a humanoid machine.
A very naive plan.
Lu Wen has never had much hope in the autonomous plan of androids. Just like the android alliance back then, just after hearing the whole process, he knew that there was no hope of success.
There are too many holes in this plan.
If even a small organization of one hundred androids could figure out RA's life trajectory, then RA would have been robbed countless times.
"Weapons, what weapons do you use?" Lu Wen asked.
"With our powerful fists!"
“…”
Lu Wen remained silent.
If you are careless, you should not ask.
Earlier, he discovered that this organization only had some semi-automatic pistols and other firearms with few bullets. He thought that other hot weapons were hidden.
It seems that the situation here is similar to that in Mowu City.
The bionic man lacks weapons and cannot form a complete combat capability.
If you meet an experienced human team, you will only get beaten.
"Have you never thought about getting more weapons in the middle world or mixed zone?" Lu Wen asked.
"Well, since our organization has not been established for a long time..." Andre said hesitantly: "So... for now..."
"Understood."
Short of money.
In the mixed zone or the more chaotic middle world, if you have money, it shouldn't be difficult to get a gun.
…
ground.
Mowu City.
The dusk here is quite complete, with only a few light rain scattered today.
Lu Wen's brothers have all ceased their activities and seem to be waiting for the results of the referendum.
The street lights come on one after another.
Dusk falls.
Lu Wen was walking casually on the street, surrounded by countless demolished houses on both sides. Heavy machinery lay on the broken bricks and tiles. The workers had all gone home from get off work.
A string of data was rushing through his mind.
It should be fine for the housekeeping type android to stay.
Although it has been less than ten hours since the referendum, the future direction can be easily predicted.
"Mr. Lu, is it almost over?"
A voice came from the side of the street.
Lu Wen quit thinking and turned around to look.
That's a wanderer.
Dressed in rags, unshaven, skinny, in his thirties, he sat on the old gray quilt and asked the question just now.
"End?" Lu Wen frowned slightly, "Is it a referendum?"
"No, all of it."
"What do you want to ask?"
Lu Wen walked over slowly.
He wasn't worried about what the wanderer could do.
[Flesh creature]
[No weapons]
[Malnutrition]
[There may be internal diseases]
[…]
The system determined that this was a weak human being.
Facial recognition is not automatically turned on, which is actually a bit of an invasion of privacy. Facial recognition is generally only used on dead people.
Lu Wen sat on the street.
In this way, the two people can talk to each other as equals, instead of being condescending.
The streets were covered with dust left over from demolition, as well as some fine cement blocks.
"Mr. Lu, you are waiting for victory, right?" Wanderer asked this question.
"You mean the android referendum?"
"Mr. Lu, do you know the history of this neighborhood?"
The wanderer asked another question.
The preface does not match the postscript.
If it weren't for his calm expression, Lu Wen might have thought that he had some kind of neurological abnormality.
"I know." Lu Wen replied normally.
"Yes, you can read those past reports and books anytime and anywhere, but those are just a few words, a few short lines of text, which can describe the lives of everyone in this neighborhood."
It was an ordinary dusk in Mowu City.
Faint sunlight shines on the street.
I can barely pull out some blurry shadows.
The wanderer suddenly began to relate some ordinary history.
Lu Wen did not interrupt. He was now focused on the referendum results and had nothing else to do. There was nothing wrong with chatting with the homeless people.
"This neighborhood used to be a place where poor people lived. There is an old cinema on the corner over there, and the tickets are very cheap. Behind this is an old square, where children like to skateboard and play ball... "
He was describing what it was like sixty or seventy years ago.
There are indeed only a few lines in Lu Wen's database.
"Later this place was taken aback by developers, and the old low-rise bungalows were bulldozed, just like what they are now... Children from poor families suddenly found that there was no free place to play anymore, and they had to move to a narrower place. In a humble place, these stories are never reported in the newspapers..."
It became the residence of the rich, the square was converted into a fitness center, and the old equipment was thrown into the garbage dump.
The new fitness center requires a fee to enter.
"Later, taller buildings were built in other places, so the rich moved away, and this place gradually became a place where poor people gathered. For many years, until one day, someone took a fancy to this location..."
Wanderer's story-telling ability isn't very good, but his articulation is fairly clear.
He looked at Lu Wen.
"Mr. Lu, history never changes, right? It just repeats itself again and again."
"Your ancestors lived here?"
"Yes, when I was a kid, they would tell me stories about this place..."
The wanderer picked up a piece of gravel and held it in his hand.
"Mr. Lu, many people are born with everything. They can enjoy the best food in the world, travel to other cities, and have countless partners... In their spare time, they ask people to make up their inspirational stories, saying that they only sleep four or five times a day. hours, and then go out and make a speech in public, saying... we are poor because of laziness.”
"Maybe some rich people are like this." Lu Wen was not completely sure.
"But even though I work twelve hours a day and only have one day off a month, those people still say we are lazy and unmotivated, but I really feel tired."
The halo of dusk faded.
It's a new night in the city.
[Antisocial Personality Disorder]
The system suddenly gives this prompt.
"Have you ever had a job before?" Lu Wen asked.
"Yes... not everyone is born a wanderer."
The Wanderers were peaceful throughout.
He said: "Mr. Lu, I have always envied my former boss. In his autobiography, he had traveled around the world and visited every city at the age of eight, so he established lofty ambitions from that time... He started from scratch. , His life experience is wonderful and rich, and his speech is contagious, and everyone will applaud him.”
He threw out the pebble in his hand and patted the dust from his palm.
During the years when the floating city was suspended, various cities were almost isolated.
Being able to travel around the world at the age of eight is destined to not be an ordinary family.
"But I... I had never left District 13 when I was eight years old. I didn't know what the outside world was like."
"Androids took your job?"
Lu Wen suddenly understood the reason why this person stopped him.
Spared such a big circle.
The core content is hidden quite deeply.
Does this person hope that he can stop manipulating the referendum results, let those androids leave, and give low-level humans a job opportunity
Human beings always like to talk in circles.
But the homeless man's answer was somewhat unexpected: "I'm not a bionic person. I gave up that job myself. After all, I can only buy a single room in this neighborhood in my lifetime, so I came to the street. I wandered for a long time. I heard Had many interesting conversations.”
"A rich man walked past me, and his companions said that the city should take care of these homeless people and expel them."
"But the rich man said that these homeless people are also human beings, they are just poor and should not be expelled. I was very moved at the time, but I didn't expect that his next sentence would be... Without these poor people, their superiority cannot be reflected."
"He said that their descendants can also become more outstanding because of the descendants of these poor people, but... after all, they can only be poor for three generations, right?"
He smiled self-deprecatingly.
There were a few scattered figures of androids on the street, seemingly walking aimlessly.
In addition, there were a few hurried young people who had just gotten off work and were in a hurry to go home.
Even in times like these, there are still some companies that continue to operate.
"Mr. Lu, I often sit here and watch those people busy going to and from get off work. They are more like machines than machines. They spend their whole lives just for a house, or a partner who doesn't love them..."
[Antisocial Personality Disorder]
The system reminded again.
Lu Wen knew what this thing meant.
The personality of such people deviates from socialization. Not everyone has violent tendencies. Some may be calm, lack empathy, and even show depression. They also like to read "The Catcher in the Rye"...
"Mr. Lu, you are waiting for the victory of the androids, right?" The wanderer asked the question again.
"I will not manipulate the voting results." Lu Wen answered truthfully.
"Is it all going to end?"
"Soon."
"Is this the peace before the end?"
…
A night passed quickly.
The underworld has dawned.
Five o'clock in the morning.
The sky is slightly bright.
At the edge of the high-rise world, under the high walls, a place surrounded by silence.
A lonely villa.
The black car sets off.
"Just one car, as usual."
Andre and Lu Wen were hiding far away.
Their entire organization passed through the border wall by forging their identities and got here in advance.
"Brother Xia Wen, did you see the old guy getting in the car? That must be RA."
"I didn't see the face."
"You can't really see the face of this place. This RA is very mysterious. Few people know what he looks like, but... we will find out when we catch him later."
Around 5:30 in the morning.
The great plan of this dawn has begun.
When the black car passed through a narrow road, many androids launched an ambush.
"Do it!"
"Be quick, don't let the opponent's mechanical troops react!"
"This is far away from the Stars Building. It will take at least ten minutes for them to get here, which is enough!"
All the androids took action.
Either holding a gun or running forward with bare hands.
The other party is just a car, a driver, and an old man.
It was a plan that seemed destined to succeed.
But Lu Wen felt it would fail.
Some kind of intuition.
So he persuaded me.
I persuaded them not only once, but spent the entire night analyzing the situation with them, saying that they couldn't take action so directly.
But the androids represented by Andre believe that caution will not succeed, and there will be no future without risk.
Even if this adventure means a lot of sacrifice.
really…
That's when the action begins.
The huge laser beam shot straight down from the sky, unstoppable, like the judgment of God.
A weapon that has never appeared in the surface world.
Lu Wen looked above his head.
The huge sky supported by those steel machines, with steel beams crisscrossing each other, is like a complex matrix outlined by the alchemists of ancient times.
The dome of the entire world is actually a weapon.
This news was not mentioned in the previous information provided by Singer.
The android hit by the laser fell to the ground instantly, melted under the high energy, began to burn, and lost the ability to move.
"Why doesn't the surface world develop laser weapons?"
Lu Wen thought for a moment.
He suddenly thought of the smog in Mowu City...
Well, there's no point in developing it.
The actual combat effect is not great.
"Singer didn't use this device when he intercepted me before. It was a permission issue. He didn't know it at all?"
Perhaps this can explain why the SA of Fanxing has been sleeping for many years and still has no rights emptied by his subordinates.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t, or I dare not.
Just as Lu Wen was thinking.
The android organization has suffered heavy losses. More than ten compatriots fell down, still thirty meters away from the car.
"Bang! Bang!"
Several bullets hit the car window, but only made a small hole.
bullet-proof glass.
Probably the best.
"Damn it!"
Andre yelled in frustration.
Their information is not accurate enough and the information is not comprehensive.
No one expected the emergence of laser weapons.
The dozen or so burning humanoid mechanical compatriots on the ground are the price.
And more and more of our compatriots are still falling.
Retreat
But it has already entered the twenty-meter range.
You will never be too willing to retreat at this time.
"Does this weapon have a time limit?"
Lu Wen was mixed in with the attacking team.
He didn't care about the final result and kept analyzing.
"According to the frequency of lasers, this android organization can successfully approach the car after paying a small amount of damage. Is Yao Ling's leader only capable of this?"
Lu Wen's guess was correct.
After paying the price of nearly forty androids falling, they had entered a ten-meter range.
But at this time.
The car in front suddenly changed.
Two heavy machine guns suddenly rose from the front and rear of the car, and black muzzles protruded from other places.
Fully armed.
"Is this a car? Or a tank without a muzzle and tracks?"
Cold murderous intent suddenly filled the air.
All the androids stopped, with fear on their faces.
Ten meters.
This is a natural chasm.
If those guns started spitting flames, they wouldn't be able to move forward.
"All humanoids still alive, put down your weapons."
The car door opens.
It was the driver who spoke.
A middle-aged man with strong muscles, a tight black suit and a plain face.
He didn't take any weapons and just got out of the car.
Face all the androids calmly.
Ten meters away.
The last of all the androids.
A lucky android slowly raised his arm and tried to kill the middle-aged driver.
His movements are stealthy.
However, there was only a "whoosh" sound.
A bullet was fired from a gun on the car, hitting the android between the eyebrows.
The chip was destroyed, the body fell to the ground, and blue blood flowed.
So all the androids became honest.
Lu Wen can probably guess the mentality of these androids.
[You will definitely die if you rush forward]
[There is a chance of survival if you listen to this driver]
[The third principle...]
The life-saving principle in the body takes effect.
After all, androids will still be restricted by programming to some extent.
The driver looked around and saw that everyone was honest, so he slowly walked to the right side of the car.
"Click-"
He opened the car door respectfully.
That was an old man in a suit and tie.
He got out of the car with a smile on his face. He was tall, with a straight back, a well-fitting suit, and his silver hair neatly combed back.
He is in good spirits and his smile makes people feel friendly.
There is no sense of aging like ordinary old people.
It's even a bit stunning at first glance.
He must have been quite handsome when he was young, so even when he is old, he still has a special temperament and charm that makes him look particularly outstanding, making people admire him from the bottom of their hearts unconsciously.
"very familiar… "
Lu Wen looked at that face.
Based on his current face, he deduced for a moment what he would look like when he gets older.
…
Good night, fellow book friends!
