Bionic Era

Baker City.

The soft morning light brings dawn and puts an end to all night's strife.

The gunshots gradually died down.

Shops along the street opened their doors one after another and began to welcome customers.

Lu Wen's transformation is finally over.

The new body is heavier than before, many parts have been added, and the firepower has been guaranteed.

When he stood in front of the mirror, the outline of his face had also changed a lot, and he was no longer the popular face before.

"Doctor, you are actually a good-looking party." Yin Liuyue said loudly.

"What is 'also'?" Dr. Jiang asked.

"It's nothing...don't forget my little spider."

"..."

Dr. Jiang rested for a while, watching Lu Wen adapt to his new body.

"I added some weapons to your body. I replaced some useless parts and limbs. Your previous limbs are of different models, which may affect the use."

Lu Wen lowered his head and raised his hands.

Very special feeling.

The hands before were always a little awkward to use, after all, one was the original one, and the other was taken from another bionic person.

"I checked your body from the inside to the outside, and there is nothing wrong with it. As for the contents of the four chips, I haven't found anything unusual so far." Dr. Jiang said.

"It's really troublesome."

"It's nothing, I'm bored, it's good to help you young people."

Dr. Jiang walked up to Lu Wen and patted him on the shoulder.

The shot is heavy.

quite heavy.

He seems to have something to say, but it's hard to say it, so he can only express it in this way.

Lu Wen's heart sank.

There is a problem with the chip!

Dr. Jiang didn't explain it to him directly. Could it be because someone has been monitoring his every move through the chip?

Jiang Xiaonian?

But Jiang Xiaonian has been in prison. Although he is not in prison for the past few days, he is still in the hospital. He has been recuperating his burnt face. It is impossible for him to have the opportunity to come into contact with this aspect.

Could it be that he wants to get out of prison one day in the future so that he can control Lu Wen?

"Don't worry, there are no problems. There are no program loopholes that can survive under my nose."

Dr. Jiang repeated the explanation.

There is no problem.

This made Lu Wen feel even heavier.

Something is wrong, and it's probably been around for a long time.

Dr. Jiang didn't say anything, because once he said it, the person who was spying on Lu Wen would know.

He hoped that Lu Wen could take the initiative through the information gap between the two parties.

Who did it?

Only those who have had physical contact with him can tamper with the content of the chip.

Lu Wen thought about all the people this body has come into contact with, too many, Jiang Xiaonian, Huang Liang, Xiong Zhuang, the leaders of the bionic organizations in the two cities...

Everyone's suspicion cannot be ruled out.

"Lu Wen, you little spider is quite strange, a product of Xinhong Company, let me study it." Dr. Jiang said with a smile.

"No problem, doctor, you can use it."

Lu Wen tried his best to be normal.

"Can you use this spider as an eye and see what it sees?" Dr. Jiang asked.

"right."

Lu Wen nodded.

He suddenly realized that Dr. Jiang was still reminding him.

The person in the dark can see everything he sees through his eyes and know what he is going through.

"However, this technology is actually not very safe. If this spider is caught by someone with a heart, it is very likely to set up other trap programs to let it get out of control and attack its owner."

What Dr. Jiang said seemed to be telling Lu Wen.

He made a backlash program in Lu Wen's body, which can make Lu Wen's body out of control.

But how to start this program?

"In addition to using this spider as an eye, you can also directly control the spider's actions and read all the data in its chip, right?"

Dr. Jiang's words made Lu Wen more and more startled.

He is like that spider, people in the dark can even control his actions at any time, making him do things that go against his own ideas.

but……

With Yin Long's second control system implanted in the emotional chip, he should not be completely controlled.

At the beginning Jiang Xiaonian also wanted to control Lu Wen, but he failed.

"Don't worry, I won't destroy your spider, just study it and make a similar one for June's self-defense."

Dr. Jiang didn't say anything more.

He began to get busy, studying the internal structure of the spider.

Lu Wen sat not far away, habitually keeping calm.

He has been vigilant since the beginning of obtaining this body, worried that there might be something left by Jiang Xiaonian in it, but later he became more and more used to it, so he became negligent.

"Jiang Xiaonian is the most likely, but if it was him, he should have told me on the way back to prison last time. Judging by his appearance, he doesn't have much intention to change the world anymore."

There are many things that Lu Wen can only think about in his heart now.

Can't let the four chips leave any clues.

"Huang Liang is the one I trust the most. He is Yin Long's eighth chip, which comes from the same source as mine, but he has had a hard time. He probably doesn't have the ability to implant content into my chip, unless he lied to me. ..."

To keep Dr. Jiang silent, only a special method can be used to remind Lu Wen.

That person in the dark is very strong.

Does he want to get something from Lu Wen?

"Don't worry too much, I won't break your spider." Dr. Jiang said suddenly.

Don't worry……

These four words show that Dr. Jiang has a certain degree of confidence in dealing with the person in the dark.

But maybe the time has not come yet, so he can only appease Lu Wen now.

It's useless to think so much now. Since Dr. Jiang said there is no need to worry, let's take it one step at a time.

No matter who did it, he couldn't completely control Lu Wen after all.

Unless that person can crack the second system left by Yin Long.

But Yin Long made it very clear in the video left before his death that no one in this world should be able to crack the system he left behind.

Dr. Jiang's research on spiders continued until noon.

"It's ok, your spider is fine, it's clean, I'm worried it will be tampered with." Dr. Jiang assembled the spider and returned it to Lu Wen.

"Don't worry, June, I'll make one for you right away."

Dr. Jiang's words reminded Lu Wen.

This spider has been with him for a long time.

The body of No. 9 subdued Xiong Zhuang's organization when it first entered the no-man's land. There were only a dozen people in that organization. Later, it was provoked by another organization. This spider belonged to that organization.

The most likely thing to do something to him is this spider.

But judging by Dr. Jiang's tone, the spider is clean.

More than two hours passed.

Dr. Jiang made a mechanical spider that was almost exactly like Lu Wen's, except that the eyes were shining with blue light.

"Okay, June, let's establish a connection with your little pet." He threw the spider to Yin June.

The process of establishing a connection is quick.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon.

A group of three people left the institute.

Both Lu Wen and Yin June had a spider lying on their shoulders.

They were going to the coordinates obtained by Dr. Jiang yesterday, where the No. 0 main body was located.

"Doctor, is that far away?" Yin Liuyue asked.

"It's not too far away. Just drive out of the city and drive in no-man's land for more than two hours. Lu Wen, I'll give you the coordinates. You can drive... I'll give you the coordinates of the Eden in the north as well. It’s convenient for you to find it later.”

Dr. Jiang gave Lu Wen two coordinates.

One is very close and the other is quite far.

An hour later, Lu Wen drove the car out of the city.

The billowing wind and sand from the no man's land came oncoming, slapping on the windshield.

Dr. Jiang sat in the back row, looking out of the car window with far-reaching eyes, as if he was remembering something.

Yin Liuyue sat in the co-pilot and kept urging Lu Wen, saying that the speed was too slow.

"Driving safety in no-man's land comes first. You sneaked here from no-man's land anyway. You should understand such a simple truth."

The sun in the sky was a little pale, probably because most of the light was blocked by smoke and dust.

The target location is a ruined city.

A very remote city.

Further south in Baker City.

Desolate.

A no-man's land where even androids wouldn't go.

The dry grass and vines fluttered in the wind along with the yellow sand, and Lu Wen saw the city from afar.

Perhaps because of the terrain, the city was not buried too much by the wind and sand, and the asphalt road entering and exiting the city could even be clearly identified.

"I have been to many abandoned cities. Most of the roads have been buried half a meter deep by sand. This city is not badly preserved." Lu Wen said to the two people in the car.

He drove into the city.

As soon as you enter, you will find that this city is different.

"Dust...the dust in the shops along the street is not serious, it seems that people often come and go."

After driving in the city for a while, Lu Wen parked the car on the side of the road.

After all, it was where the main body of No. 0 was located, and he was worried that there would be danger.

"Doctor, you and June are sitting in the car, I'll go to the street to have a look." Lu Wen said.

"Don't worry, there will be no danger." Dr. Jiang was very sure.

But there are no absolutes after all.

Back then, Vasily, the fourth generation of Xinhong, was sniped by Lu Wen in a deserted city.

In this abandoned city, there are many dark places that cannot be seen.

Any danger is possible.

"Snapped!"

Lu Wen closed the car door and walked slowly towards a shop along the street.

It is a small supermarket.

The plaque on the supermarket has gone through 80 years and has not fallen off, but the words on it are no longer legible.

Lu Wen stood in front of the door, stretched out his hands, and slowly pushed it away.

"Squeak..."

There is very little dust falling from the cracks in the door.

The traces of dust on the cash register are very heavy.

【footprint】

【Unknown footprints】

There is also a lot of dust on the ground, which is covered with footprints.

The same kind of footprints.

But the system doesn't recognize it.

This does not belong to any kind of creature currently recorded.

"On the street outside, the footprints disappeared very quickly because the sand was blowing all the time, but it's not the same inside the supermarket."

Lu Wen squatted down slowly and carefully observed the footprints.

Not too big, not much bigger than the footprint of a human baby.

"It's all the same footprints. In this city, there has always been a creature moving."

Lu Wen walked into the supermarket.

As if to confirm his conjecture, all the food in the supermarket was gone.

Eighty years... Even if the food remained, it would have rotted long ago.

Even canned food is no longer edible.

After observing around in the supermarket, Lu Wen walked out of the supermarket.

"The gates of the shops along the street are relatively clean, and there are often creatures coming in and out."

He walked into a few more shops, and the scene inside was similar to the interior of a small supermarket.

Same footprint.

Some of these eighty-year-old shops are food stores, some are pet stores, and some are toy stores.

Without exception, nothing edible was found inside.

It was as if...everything that could be eaten in this city was taken away by that creature.

"The toy store more than 80 years ago is very interesting. At that time, the technology was highly developed, and such smart toys could be seen in street stores."

On the shelves of toy stores, plush toys account for the majority.

But basically it's all in tatters.

Just take a photo and it's thick dust.

There are also some more special toys.

Not like a toy, more like a little robot.

"It's quite expensive."

Lu Wen wiped the dust off the price tags on the shelves.

Five-figure prices.

Even more than eighty years ago, during the extreme prosperity, this was not a small sum.

The more expensive ones even sold for six figures.

"It's so expensive, will anyone really buy it?"

Lu Wen came to the innermost shelf.

It was a row of black robots.

Less than one meter high.

The reason why it is so expensive seems to be that it is co-branded with a movie called "Skymen". Many children like the Robocop in the movie.

But the age is too long, and there is not much information left about that movie.

"The robot's feet... seem to match the footprints on the ground."

Lu Wen took down a robot and placed it on the ground.

【footprint】

【Unknown footprints】

【Matching...】

[from the same creature]

Lu Wen mentioned this little black robot.

Eighty years later, can this robot still drive?

"I should be able to match this charging socket."

Lu Wen stretched out his right hand, and the bionic material on the two fingers retreated slowly, exposing the internal metal support.

Those metal supports are also constantly fading.

In the end, it turned into two hollow metal bodies.

Lu Wen put two fingers into the charging port of the little black robot.

A few minutes later.

The little robot responded.

A charging display appeared on the screen on the head.

Lu Wen long pressed the switch on the top of the robot's head.

Accompanied by a tremor.

boot up.

Feminine mechanical voice.

"Sky Warrior, Number Zero, always guard your safety!"

Good night, fellow readers!
