Bionic Era

"how old are you?"

"19 years old."

"What are you stealing money for?"

"Have a good meal."

"Have you done it before?"

"No."

Lu Wen stared at Xu Eryi who was devouring.

disappointed.

First of all, he didn't get any useful information from Xu Eryi.

What Xu Eryi knew could be found out in the information. This young man at the bottom of society didn't know much about this city.

Secondly, the young man was lying to him, and he should have lied in some respects.

"Where do you live at night?"

"In some factories outside the city, you can just find a place to sleep. Anyway, no one is in charge. Find some waste newspapers, lean in a corner where no one is around, close your eyes and open them all night."

"Have you wandered since childhood?

"right."

"Usually alone?"

"Um."

"What do you usually eat?"

"Just... get some wild vegetables or something, and some people will give some things."

This time Lu Wen was sure that Xu Eryi was lying.

Baker City doesn't have as many kind-hearted people as Mowu City.

In Mowu City, lying on the side of the street, pretending to be pitiful, at least someone would throw two coins into the bowl.

Baker City here.

Don't count on coins.

What is most likely to happen is lying on the side of the street, suddenly a van stops, a bunch of people come down, and tie up the single homeless.

The next day there were more fresh organs on the black market.

That's why the homeless people Lu Wen saw before were all in groups, sitting around the fire. These fires can bring them warmth, and the number can make them feel at ease.

"Do you have no other sources of income?" Lu Wen asked.

"No."

Not long after, Xu Eryi was full.

Lu Wen called the waiter.

The android waiter.

He gently held the waiter's hand and completed the transfer in a moment.

"You...you are a bionic person? No, you don't have a bracelet on your hand, are you a cyborg?"

very good.

Lu Wen successfully brought up another topic.

He deliberately let Xu Eryi see this scene.

A cyborg is a combination of a real human and a bionic human.

in most cases.

Human beings will replace some parts of the body with usable mechanical parts due to certain problems, such as physical defects, car accidents, etc., which make some parts of the body no longer usable.

Limbs are the most common.

There are also people who are healthy.

But he is obsessed with transforming himself and embedding machinery into his flesh and blood.

Generally, it is to make yourself look different, or to gain more power.

This technique is close to what Zero has mastered.

Lu Wen had investigated before coming here.

But he found that the Dr. Jiang mentioned by Duan Tiannan didn't have many records in Baker City, and he only saw this name in a corner of the newspaper every few years.

As for Dr. Jiang's research institute, he didn't even know the exact location.

"Aren't there quite a lot of reformers in Baker City?"

"right."

The two left the hotel.

"Which institutions are generally engaged in human body modification?"

"There are...a lot of them, big and small." Xu Eryi looked at the dark night in the distance, his eyes rolled around, "Why don't you come with me to my resting place, I'll talk slowly tonight for you."

"Yes." Lu Wen smiled lightly, "Are you alone in your resting place?"

"Yes, only me."

Faint flames appeared and disappeared on both sides of the street.

Ashes floated in the night sky.

From time to time there was the sound of steel clashing in the darkness.

The dark red lights are like poisonous snakes clinging to the dilapidated pipes, silently watching the people coming and going.

Tens of millions of people.

It looks like an abandoned dead city.

Withered vines spread over streetlamps, and drooping leaves hid the decaying interior.

These special vines seem to be strangled into steel, so that rust begins to spread on the plants' bodies, and life and death are intertwined.

"Has anything major happened in Baker City recently?" Lu Wen asked.

"Yes, recently there was a bionic congressman. This congressman is really powerful. Some time ago, there were a lot of incidents of transformed people going crazy, and people were panicked. Many people were afraid to go out. Later, this bionic man found the source and caught it. The person behind the scenes is behind the scenes."

"So you all elected him as an MP?"

"Yes, but people like me do not have the right to vote. Only those who are rich and have formal jobs have the right to vote. I am actually a black householder, and my name is not in the population database of Baker City."

"Was this bionic congressman famous before?"

"I'm not famous. I heard that he was a small executive officer in the executive bureau before, and he never made any achievements."

A very familiar script.

The director of this drama should be the same person.

The timing of council elections varies from city to city.

The Mowu City side is not over yet, and the Baker City side has been over for a while.

"How long has the android congressman been elected?"

"It's been half a month."

half a month.

According to Jiang Xiaonian's inference.

If Number Zero is really promoting the election of the android councilor behind the scenes, then the bionic councilor won't live long.

"What has this congressman been doing lately?"

"He made a lot of suggestions to improve the rights and interests of androids, some of which have been voted on and received strong praise from the two companies."

"Are there a lot of bionics supporting him?"

"Yes, not only the bionics in the city, most of the bionics organizations outside the city have expressed their peaceful wishes."

A bionic member of parliament has become the link between humans and bionics.

He was loud on both sides.

If he dies suddenly and tragically at this time, even the data backup will be completely destroyed.

And all kinds of evidence point to human beings.

One can imagine what happened next.

Lenovo said before number zero that he was going away for a while.

Could it be that Baker City is almost fermented?

But does he really dare to do it?

After all, this is Dr. Jiang's place, and he learned all his skills from Dr. Jiang.

"It's that factory. I usually sleep there. It's very quiet and no one disturbs me."

Lu Wen looked in the direction of Xu Eryi's finger.

An abandoned factory.

The wild grass is luxuriant.

The flat ground around the factory was covered by withered yellow grass and trees to waist depth.

Part of the factory building has collapsed, and the collapsed steel beams are buried deep in the dirt of the years.

Lots of graffiti on the walls.

Colorful and confusing to look at.

"I usually sleep on the second floor."

"Worried about the factory collapsing and suppressing the first floor?"

"right."

Lu Wen followed Xu Eryi into the factory.

Very empty.

The concrete floor was full of dust.

It was pitch black inside the factory.

If you have a dark phobia, you will definitely not dare to go inside this situation.

Xu Eryi took out a very weak flashlight and led the way.

"Boom...boom..."

Footsteps echoed in the dead space.

Xu Eryi walked up the stairs.

There are no guardrails on the stairs, so you need to try to walk along the rough wall on one side.

"arrive."

The two came to the second floor.

Same emptiness.

But not dead silent.

In the dark night, there are some small sounds.

"Snapped!"

The sound of turning on the lights.

Sudden light can make many people feel uncomfortable.

But Lu Wen is a bionic person.

So he can see clearly.

More than a dozen young people surrounded him, all holding weapons, two of them holding real guns.

Xu Eryi took two steps forward, then turned to look at Lu Wen.

With a smile on his face, he was completely different from before.

"Welcome to Baker City."
