Fog envelopes the city at dawn.
Red and blue light spots flickered on both sides of the hazy street, and the sound of "swishing" drifted in the morning breeze.
The android cleaning the streets started a new day's work.
"Crack!"
Lu Wen crushed a leaf.
He walked to the alley on the street, where countless homeless people were still sleeping.
Most of them were covered with newspapers and tattered clothes.
The young painter is an alternative among the wanderers.
He carries a sleeping bag with him at all times and a drawing board by his side.
Late at night, he stroked the drawing board, and his slender fingers traced the cold surface, as if he wanted to draw the stars in his dream.
"The person is missing."
Empty sleeping bags.
"None of the homeless people around were awakened. They should have left on their own."
Although Lu Wen had only met the young painter a few times, he probably knew the young man's character.
The young man was timid and a bit shy.
If you suddenly see a monster, you will most likely scream and wake up the surrounding wanderers.
Lu Wen touched the sleeping bag.
"Still warm."
Didn't go long.
The drawing board is still there.
The mobile phone was on the side of the sleeping bag and was not taken away at all. Lu Wen found it by following the location of the mobile phone.
The surroundings were not quiet, and the slight snores of wanderers could be heard one after another.
It had rarely rained in the past two days, so there were no obvious footprints on the ground.
"The drawing board and other tools are still there. When people face unknown fears, they will instinctively want to grab something to defend themselves, but he didn't take anything with him... "
Lu Wen felt a chill in his heart.
But he suddenly turned around, and in an instant, a sharp blade popped out of his right arm.
Cold light radiates!
The sharp sword light seemed to cut through the gray mist in the air.
The blade of the sword drew a pale shadow in the city at dawn.
"Ding!"
The sound of a blade colliding with some metal.
In this early morning, the breeze rippled away.
Lu Wen strode forward.
All the body's sensors are adjusted to maximum power, so power consumption doesn't matter.
"That thing is missing?"
Lu Wen frowned.
In fact, the small alley where many homeless people are located is more suitable for fighting. The empty streets are very disadvantageous for him. It was a wiser choice to retreat into the small alley before, but those homeless people are likely to die.
If it were the previous body, Lu Wen would definitely retreat.
But things are different now.
The first ray of sunshine has already shone at the end of the steel city in the distance. Soon, the gray fog will dissipate a lot.
But on the street where Lu Wen was, the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and it was almost impossible to see his fingers.
If he were a normal person, he would be no different from being blind now.
"You should know that androids can measure distances using lasers, so these things are useless."
Get the other person to talk.
Lu Wen was now 200% alert.
When encountering a sneak attack before, the system did not issue any prompts.
On weekdays, as long as any creature stares behind Lu Wen for too long or approaches quickly, the system will issue a "attack intent detected" command.
But this time the system failed!
[Start combat mode]
A sharp blade also popped out of the left arm.
quietly.
Lu Wen walked in the gray fog, walking slowly, like a silent killer.
Under his clothes, out of sight.
The biological material on the surface slowly faded away, and countless black muzzles quietly emerged. No matter what the thing was, as long as it dared to get close, it would turn into a sieve in a few seconds.
[A radius of one hundred meters, seven sewer manhole covers]
so much
Is it because the rain is too dense
"We have refused to upgrade urban surveillance for thirty years, but the sewers have been repaired very diligently."
Gray fog can give people a suffocating feeling.
The increasingly dense fog created a strong sense of oppression, rolling and rolling from time to time, as if there were some weird creatures walking in the fog.
But Lu Wen didn't detect any traces.
"I have countless ways to take you away, but that would be too easy. Besides, I want to observe carefully whether you... are what I imagined."
A voice came from the gray fog.
In all directions, it seems as if it comes from an unknown void.
Lu Wen's perception was still blank.
"Actually, I have seen many bionic people who are more human than you. I took them back and took them apart one by one. Those metals, those parts, those chips, those data... I thought it would be different, but I was still disappointed. "
Perhaps the other party already felt that they had a winning chance and thought they could easily win over Lu Wen, so they didn't hide anything.
"You know what I'm looking for."
"It should be a non-existent accident, a slim hope. I don't know when it started. I suddenly had this idea, like... an obsession."
The electronically synthesized sound is very deep and the original sound cannot be heard.
This is also the same as described in the information.
This person always likes to play tricks and make himself very mysterious. Let alone his true identity, he can't even give his true voice.
"This world should not exist, these people should not exist, and those who should not survive survived..."
"Uh... interrupt me."
Lu Wen spoke politely, bringing sudden silence.
Even the surging gray fog calmed down.
"I found that you all like to say some confusing things to make others think you are mysterious and to make others think you are powerful. But in fact... you don't even notice that your brain is being targeted."
"boom!"
A dull sound came from the sky.
…
The gray fog dissipated.
At the same time, the sunshine on the horizon also dispersed.
Low-pressure clouds were drifting in from afar, but luckily people were accustomed to carrying umbrellas.
This world is always gray, as if it is dead, and only those virtual projections are alive.
"You made the plan this time, do you have any ideas?"
"If you have any other ideas, just act."
Lu Wen shrugged and sat on both sides of the street.
Xia Chuluo sat next to him, holding a cake in his hand and a sniper rifle beside him.
"Do you feel that your IQ has improved significantly after staying with me for a long time?" she asked after taking a bite of the cake.
"Is it possible... that I have a high IQ?"
"You are extremely serious when you are brainless."
“…”
This plan was really formulated by Lu Wen.
After hanging up the phone, he suddenly realized.
With the courage of a young painter, if he realized that the monster was underground, he would not be able to calmly go to the official website of the Executive Bureau to check his contact information.
So there's only one possibility, someone wants him out.
And this person can only be number zero.
"This guy probably wants to scare me, and then see my subsequent reaction to judge what I am."
Zero actually didn't say much, but his words all revealed a message - he could take Lu Wen away at any time as long as he wanted.
This is to plant the seeds of fear in Lu Wen's heart and then observe his subsequent reaction.
