Chapter 63: From the ground

The girl glanced in the direction of the kitchen, got up and walked over.

"By the way, those milk tea stains on your body are not in the right place. They seem to have been smeared on purposely." Duan Tiannan said while sitting on the sofa.

The girl was stunned at the door of the kitchen.

"So what, she still doesn't see it."

Duan Tiannan smiled and did not argue.

"Xia Chuluo's assistant is also pretty good. He was chosen by Zero. He is not just an awakened android, but the system shows that he only turned on his computer two weeks ago, which is very interesting." He added.

"I've seen him before. Apart from being handsome, I don't see anything special about him." The girl's voice came from the kitchen, followed by the sound of pots and pans clinking gently.

"Don't look down on anyone."

"Number Zero is not an ordinary... person... maybe a human being." Duan Tiannan paused, "When I was young, I tracked him for a long time and only killed him once."

"He is very cunning and cautious. He never shows up in person. Several times, I thought I had found his lair, but it turned out that the person behind the scenes was just a puppet controlled by him."

According to legend, Zero has only been killed three times since its emergence.

The middle-aged man sitting on the sofa said that he did it once.

"Don't interfere in what happens next. Just watch these boring western movies quietly." The girl walked out of the kitchen with a large bowl of beef stew and placed the beef stew on the coffee table in the living room.

She filled a bowl, carried it to the door, opened the door, walked out and knocked on the neighbor's door.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman with two children.

The children all smelled the fragrance, looked at the bowl in the girl's hand, and swallowed.

They are too young to hide their longing eyes.

This is a slum, and even in this better area, you can't often eat meat.

"The stew is too much. We, father and daughter, can't finish it. The children are still growing..."

Children are the hope of the ghetto.

The girl used to not understand why people like Duan Tiannan ended up living in the slums. When she saw these children, she understood a little bit.

This is a place of despair and hope.

After all, she was also picked up by Duan Tiannan from the pile of corpses.

When she was a child, she liked to listen to Duan Tiannan's legendary stories and legendary figures.

There is Zero, there is the first-generation machine A00, there is Dr. Jiang, there is Xia Zheng...

Those stories are always gorgeous and gorgeous. They walk on the high walls of Parliament, swim in the shelter of the night, dance with the fallen royal family, and hunt in the cold winter of the Far North. They hold the truest corner of the world, and sometimes they are friends. Sometimes it's the enemy.

But when she grew up, she found that she was just living in a slum at the bottom of society.

She once thought that Duan Tiannan was lying to her.

"Do you know the rules of cowboy duels in the old west?" Duan Tianzheng's voice came from the living room.

The girl returned to this simple home with an empty bowl.

She sat on the sofa and put down the bowl in her hands.

"Not interested in knowing."

"They will feel that honor is more important than life. Drawing the gun first means fear of death. Even if they win, they will lose their honor. So many times they will fall into a confrontation, waiting for the opponent to draw the gun first... If the one who draws the gun later wins, , he will gain both honor and his opponent’s life.”

The afternoon and evening back in the Thirteenth Arrondissement were uneventful.

Many animals like to move in the dark, and the night is the protection given to them by nature.

Lu Wen washed the dishes and leaned on the sofa.

Xia Chuluo has been leaning on the sofa since she came back, not moving, and Lu Wen always puts food in front of her mouth.

"It hurts if you move. Just lie here tonight."

"It's only a few steps from here to the bedroom... Aren't you quite energetic during the day?"

"So you need to save your energy at night."

“…”

Lu Wen doesn't need to sleep anyway, so he can just take care of this girl.

Of course, he could sleep if he wanted to. Just like a normal person, he could close and open his eyes all night long.

Lu Wen thought more than once, what on earth has he been reborn into

He received the message once.

In the remote no-man's land, another body is setting up a trap, preparing to catch all seven executives.

People can be released, but the weapons will remain.

"There are many android organizations in the no-man's land. If we can all unite, maybe we can build a society for androids?"

Lu Wen feels that if the current situation is allowed to develop, something will happen one day.

He just did it just in case.

If it really develops into the worst situation, no matter which side wins, he can have a place.

Although this feels a bit like stepping on two boats...

The night passed quickly.

Just when it was getting slightly brighter, Lu Wen's cell phone suddenly vibrated.

An unknown number.

Lu Wen only had Xia Chuluo's number on his cell phone, and he usually used this body to send messages when communicating with Xia Chuluo.

"This is the first time anyone has called me."

As a walking Android phone, this feeling is amazing.

"Is it Executive Officer Lu? I know you must not be sleeping. Androids don't need to sleep." The voice on the other end of the phone was familiar, and Lu Wen thought hard.

"junior Painter?"

"It's me, it's me. I found your contact information on the official website of your executive bureau."

The voice was a little soft, and it felt like the little painter opposite was talking quietly under the quilt.

It was getting slightly brighter now, just after six o'clock in the morning.

It was still gray outside, with blue and pink intertwined in the mist.

"Executive Officer Lu, I have a situation here."

"Just call me Lu Wen."

"Okay, Executive Officer Lu, when I was drifting off to sleep, I suddenly felt something shaking under me."

"Your description..."

"Listen to me, I sleep on the street, just like those homeless people, except that I don't use newspapers... You know that I, a street painter, need to find inspiration, and art comes from life."

True, street, painter.

Lu Wenxun thought that this guy got so much bounty last time, so he wouldn't have to live on the street, and he also had a certain amount of income from selling paintings.

He doesn't quite understand this kind of life.

Maybe this is art.

"You mean, there is something shaking under the street, is it the sewer?" Listening to the little painter's description, Lu Wen suddenly became energetic.

Yesterday Zero left a note saying that he would show up again today.

Monsters like to crawl into sewers.

Now there may be traces of monsters in the sewers throughout Mowu City.

During this period, people continued to go missing, and the places where they disappeared happened to be in surveillance blind spots, and there were sewer manhole covers in the blind spots.

"Yes, there is a sewer manhole cover not far from where I sleep. I... I heard about the recent monster incident, so I was thinking..."

"Hang up the phone immediately! Turn on location sharing on your phone, lie quietly on the street, close your eyes, and don't move!"

The third update I told you readers before, I promise.
