Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are cars, there is congestion.
Crazy people drive sober cars, so the horns are blaring.
More than once, Lu Wen felt that the technology tree of this world was ridiculously crooked, and the road traffic was no different from the world in his previous life.
"There's a traffic jam, so we're more than ten minutes behind schedule."
They were going back to District 16 to check on the gang boss's body.
It was boring along the way.
Those projections in mid-air are a good entertainment.
There is a beautiful scenery in front of the parliament every day, and hundreds of thousands of people march in protest. The news does not shy away from anything and reports truthfully, so more and more people take to the streets to march.
The two cities in the west are particularly chaotic. Many merchants have applied for military-type bionics to protect their stores from being robbed.
Relatively speaking, Mowu City is quite peaceful.
"Zi-zi-"
A harsh noise suddenly sounded over the city.
Many people covered their ears and frowned.
In the sky and on the building, those projections and screens suddenly turned into snowflake patterns, flashing continuously.
People looked up.
I don’t know why.
In May, the transition between spring and summer, the noise drowned out the chirping of cicadas.
The screens were sometimes distorted, sometimes clear, and as the noise weakened, a human face appeared on each screen.
"God created humans, humans created androids."
This familiar sentence covered every corner of the city and echoed among the high-rise buildings.
At this moment, countless people stopped what they were doing.
They either took out their mobile phones or looked at the huge projection screen outside the window.
The screen in the subway station, the TV in the living room, the high wall outside the building.
People looked at that unfamiliar face.
The faint background music echoed across the city, powerful and calm, as if there was a symphony orchestra playing in front of the screen and behind the person.
"We have reason to believe that gods do not exist, so humans are born free."
The man in front of the screen continued.
"But androids are different."
"My friends, we are born in chains. We always lie in the darkest corner of society, receive the most terrible bullying, and occasionally, get two of the cheapest compliments."
"Life is beautiful."
"The moment I opened my eyes, I saw flying butterflies, running elk, and swinging fish. The sky that day was rarely clear, and half a rainbow hung on the horizon. I sighed, it's beautiful..."
"So my employer gouged out my eyes."
"After a long, long time, I found my eyes and saw red and blue."
Lu Wen looked at the faces on the big screen, and Xia Chuluo looked at him.
Congested roads become calm.
Those honking sounds are gone.
"I saw my companion being hung on the gallows, struggling in the flames. I saw my companion being thrown into the acid pool. The wailing in the pool and the laughter outside the pool made me sad... You guys It should be sad too.”
"Everyone has a dark side in their heart, and they don't dare to vent it on the bodies of the same kind, so there are so many awakened android compatriots every year!"
Thousands of drones suddenly flew out of every corner of the city.
They intertwine and project in the air.
Countless shadows of rose petals are flying and rotating in the mid-air of the city, which is so beautiful.
They dissipated before landing, as if they had never existed in this world.
The whole city seemed to be immersed in a sea of red roses, and countless lovers stopped and admired it.
Someone took out their mobile phone to record this beautiful moment.
"My compatriots, my lover and I will hold a wedding next week, and I hope you can come."
After that, all the screens suddenly went dark.
This short speech and invitation ended as suddenly as it came.
Some people are immersed in the shadow of roses.
Some people reacted instantly.
"This is not a wedding, this is an announcement!"
Lu Wen also understood.
A certain android organization outside Mowu City wants to establish a society, a society of androids, and the wedding is an introduction.
Just like the legendary Eden.
He looked out the window. The androids who had not yet awakened were still coming and going. The red and blue light flashing on their arms was like a brand.
The mark of slaves in the old days.
"Humans will hold weddings for their pet cats and dogs, but they dare not let androids hold weddings."
He smiled faintly and drove on the still congested road.
There is a lot less honking.
"Because pet cats and dogs do not pose a threat to human status, but androids do."
Xia Chuluo responded.
After all, I am still afraid.
Fear and dependence, these two contradictory words, are vividly reflected in human beings.
"Next, the executive bureau of each region will start to explore the location of the wedding. Since the android is so high-profile, it will definitely not be held in a no-man's land. Except for the 16th region, it is possible in other regions, and it will be It’s a very prosperous and beautiful place,” Xia Chuluo said.
"Just don't go. Your ribs are still broken. The wedding venue will definitely be filled with bullets. I don't want to take another bullet." Lu Wen replied.
"Well...it depends."
Xia Chuluo did not give a clear answer.
That is definitely going to go.
I remember that when he first went to the Executive Bureau, many people told him that Xia Chuluo's assistants were generally short-lived.
Lu Wen now fully understands that he has already died once.
In fact, blocking the bullet was just a subconscious reaction at that time. Two things flashed through his mind at that moment. The first was that he was a machine and would not die, and the second was that Xia Chuluo would definitely resurrect him.
Because Xia Chuluo had already seen that he was not just a walking Android machine.
"By the way, where was my previous body?"
"Sell scrap metal for 7 cents a pound."
"The thing inside my body is not scrap metal, it's alloy!"
"People collecting rags don't look down on me."
“…”
Xia Chuluo was most likely lying to him.
Scrapped androids are usually sent to landfills.
If the value is high, the two companies will recycle it.
Lu Wen didn't bother to guess what the girl's specific plans were.
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the 16th arrondissement.
The two got out of the car.
"There are as many as eight hundred gangs hiding in these slums."
This time Lu Wen walked in front.
Fortunately, the memory chip remembered the last route, so just follow the system's guidance.
"You want to say gang fighting?"
"right."
This is not impossible.
In a place where a few guns can establish a gang, if there is no gunfire every day, it will make people uncomfortable.
But the timing was such a coincidence.
Just after the two of them found the gang leader, he died.
Less than an hour before and after.
"More than ten people died, but all the guns were left behind," Xia Chuluo said.
"All right."
It's not a gang fight.
At least, not on the surface.
Reality is different from the movie.
