Bionic Era

Duan Tiannan told Lu Wen a very simple truth.

There is no permanent enemy in the world.

He wouldn't be surprised if one day he saw Lu Wen and Number Zero cooperating.

"That year, when we were still very young, a big event happened in the north - the city was built by bionic people."

That city is called Eden.

Dawn of the androids.

And that city was recognized by two human cities in the north.

Many people went there admiringly, but did not find the location of that city.

Gradually, that city became a legend, a legend known to almost all awakened bionics.

"Is there really such a city?" Lu Wen asked, he thought it was just a trap.

"Yes, but it's not on the ground, so those guys haven't been found, and the number of bionics inside... can't be estimated. It's so many that it's daunting. 90% of the awakened bionics in the north have merged into that city."

"There are cities underground?"

This is not the first time Lu Wen has heard this statement.

The last time No Man's Land's body captured the Executor squad, I heard one of the Executors call Eden's people gophers.

At that time, Lu Wen was guessing whether the reason why Eden's location was mysterious was because it was not on the surface at all.

"Since there is a floating city, why can't there be an underground city?"

Duan Tiannan pointed to the floor of the bar.

"Mowu City is built on countless abandoned cities. The reason why the world is so desolate is not because of a certain war, but because of countless population explosions since the birth of human beings - wars - sharp population decline , caused by this vicious circle.”

One city stacked on top of the other.

Layer upon layer.

"Some underground cities have completely collapsed and are buried in the sand, while some are only covered by wind and sand on the surface, and some are more special. For example, in the center of the inner sea in District 15, there is a Submerged small cities."

Lu Wen was thinking, if the wind and sand were to bury the city, it should be buried little by little.

Why is there space left in the ground?

"What does it mean that a layer of the surface is covered by wind and sand?"

"That's what you understand."

"impossible."

"Never say the three words impossible."

Duan Tiannan took out his mobile phone and opened the map.

He found the location of the first district on the map, and then zoomed in to show Lu Wen.

"There is a building in the urban area of ​​the first district. You have turned it on for almost three weeks, and you still don't know about it." He pointed to the picture on his phone, "That building is called Xincheng Building, and its foundation is another building. The roof of the building, the building, buried deep in the ground."

"You mean, the underground of Mowu City is empty now?" Lu Wen felt a little unbelievable. He had never studied architecture, but his subjective feeling was not credible.

"Very few places are empty, most places have been compacted"

"Why did this happen? When Mowu City was built, didn't it consider completely bulldozing the ruins of the previous city?"

"How would I know?"

Duan Tiannan shrugged, took a sip of wine to moisten his throat.

"It's uncomfortable to talk to you bionics. Don't you feel dry when you talk too much?"

"Won't."

"..."

Duan Tiannan explained to Lu Wen how that Eden was built.

"At that time, those bionics accidentally discovered an underground city. I don't know which war it was before, and it was deep underground."

"The underground space was almost completely swallowed up by sand, and they transported the sand to the surface bit by bit, and began to reinforce the expanded underground space. Until the last time I left, they were still strengthening, maybe until now. .”

Duan Tiannan took out a pendant from his pocket, made of bullet casings.

Throw it to Lu Wen.

"If one day, you want to go to that city, this is the pass."

Lu Wen picked up the pendant and looked at it carefully.

A cyborg face was engraved on the bullet case.

"By the way, there is an empty underground city near Baker City. It is relatively well preserved. After reinforcement, it has become a scenic spot, but you must sign an exemption agreement before entering."

"How did that underground city form?"

"At that time, the city was built among the mountains. It is said that I took the elevator to the first floor, stood on the balcony on the first floor and looked down. There were more than 30 floors. It was a very poor place. Without an elevator, people would be exhausted. "

Duan Tiannan explained.

"Experts speculate that the tall buildings on the top of the mountain fell down and were supported by many buildings on the mountainside or at the bottom of the mountain, forming a natural barrier and then covered by wind and sand... In fact, as long as you are not blind, you can see it at a glance."

Then he started to tell Lu Wen about that trip to the north.

It was a winter, and he was going to find the legendary Eden.

Later he really found it.

And tried their best to get the pass

Later, he felt bored, so he wanted to go to the extreme north to take a look, and wanted to engrave words like "Duan Tiannan is here for a visit" on the North Pole.

Then it was trapped by the snowstorm.

"The news said it was a once-in-a-hundred-year blizzard. At that time, I was wondering how the news knew that it would only happen in a hundred years..."

The young Duan Tiannan was trapped in a log cabin.

All the roads were flooded with snow, and many birch trees outside the house were covered with nearly half of their trunks.

This log cabin is still far away from the North Pole, and it is not a distance that can be completed in a day or two.

There is an iron pot in the house, and the pot is goulash with potatoes.

It's sticky, bubbling and bubbling, and doesn't seem to have much appetite.

Those who were trapped in that cabin together were Xia Zheng, Number Zero, and several others.

"You were in the same room as Zero? You didn't finish him with a single shot?"

"There is no eternal enemy, and it is just a clone of number zero. At that time, one more person would have more hope of going out. The snow was really heavy. For several days, most of the wooden house was surrounded , the door can’t even be pushed open.”

Duan Tiannan purely wanted to go to the North Pole for fun, but the weather was too bad.

The rest of them said that they got the news and went to the extreme north to find something.

A group of people sat around a warm fire.

Sparks burst out from time to time, crackling.

Duan Tiannan was wrapped in a thick green coat.

The temperature in the cabin was normal.

There was a mist of mist on the glass window, and the snow had covered the view outside the window.

The aroma of goulash filled the air.

They held nostalgic green iron cups with a faint red five-pointed star pattern printed on them.

The owner of the wooden house was a strong bearded man, who was very hospitable. He served half a cup of beef stew for everyone, and then began to play and sing their local folk songs.

The memory of that period of wind and snow is not very clear, but every time Duan Tiannan thinks of it, he will sigh.

"That was the best goulash I've ever had."

"What are they looking for in the extreme north in summer?"
