Bionic Era

The visitor looked very young, about twenty.

He was wearing a brown cowboy hat, a scarf around his neck, a gray-blue shirt with a waistcoat on his upper body, gray jeans and Martin boots on his lower body, and a waist bag, a gun stock, and a dagger pinned to his belt.

Came all the way, travel-stained.

There were some dry and cracked marks on the originally handsome and resolute face.

From the north to here, even if you drive in a straight line without sleep, you can't do it without half a month, not to mention avoiding the extreme weather that may be encountered at any time.

The roads in the no-man's land are really bad, the speed of the car cannot be increased, and the car often breaks down.

"My name is Martin, from Eden, nice to meet you."

This young man named Martin stretched out his hand with a smile. His slightly curly black hair was slowly floating in the wind and sand in no man's land, and his eyes were yellowish.

Behind him are two special androids of different models.

Ma Bo noticed that this man named Martin had three-dimensional features and was of mixed race.

Generally, few people customize this type of bionics.

"My name is Ma Bo. We still have the same surname. I'm glad...you're not a bionic person?" Ma Bo was stunned. When the two shook hands, he didn't feel any data flow.

It is impossible for the bionics sent by Eden to not have the function of contact transmission.

Even if Martin doesn't have it, Marble does.

He wanted to transmit some friendly data, but found that Martin could not receive it at all.

The young man standing opposite him was not a machine, but a human being with flesh and blood.

"To be precise, my surname is actually Brown, and my first name is Martin." Martin said with a smile: "But there is a long list of names in the middle, including the names of the ancestors who have had great events in eighteen generations of my ancestors. Even added the word Eden to it."

Martin said he had once been caught in a crime in the northern city of Kerry.

The local executive read his name for a full minute and a half.

"Why would Eden allow humans to exist?" Marble asked.

"Sit down and talk, do you have any water here? I have almost all the supplies in the car, and I'm a little thirsty now. It's better for these two guys behind me. They can live without food or drink for the rest of their lives." Martin said with a smile.

His smile and voice are contagious, and it is easy to create a sense of trust.

Marble noticed that the young man's lips were chapped, and he looked really thirsty.

Bionic people don't have to worry about these problems in no man's land.

Fortunately, they have some food and fresh water stored here.

Martin was invited into the temporary tent, and some bionics brought fresh water and fresh fruit, as well as some dried fruit and dried meat.

He just drank some water to moisten his lips and throat.

"There were originally two cars, and each of these two guys drove one." Martin pointed to the two bionics behind him, "One of the cars was full of supplies, but when it came, it encountered quicksand. The car got stuck, and this guy was lucky, I happened to have some wooden boards on my car, and I threw them on the quicksand to build a life passage for him."

Martin said it was a horrible quicksand.

Pretty strong suction.

That car was swallowed up in no time before they even had time to try and pull that car out with another car.

"By the way, if you doubt my identity, I think this thing can reassure you."

Martin removed a bullet case pendant from his neck.

The shell was shiny bronze, with a mechanical face engraved on it.

This is Eden's pass, Duan Tiannan once gave him to Lu Wen, and now Lu Wen still keeps it, but it is in his third body, and he went to the central city with Xia Chuluo.

Naturally, Ma Bo knew the Passport of Eden.

This thing cannot be faked.

The mechanical face on it is not just a simple notch, but a tiny chip is embedded in it for identification.

Of course, it doesn't rule out that someone killed Eden's people and took the pass-through symbols from them.

"You must be thinking in your heart, will I kill Eden's people, and then take their pass." Martin looked at him with a smile, "Well, you shake hands with these two guys, and everything will be fine." It's all clear."

The two who came with him were bionics.

After Ma Bo shook hands with the two bionics, he obtained the identity information from them, and finally confirmed the identity of the trio in front of him.

"There are many humans in Eden?"

Ma Bo still had that doubt.

Eden is called the dawn of the bionics. On the day the city was built, many bionics cheered, and the sun rose from the north.

But then some gossip came out.

It is said that the creator of Eden was actually a human being.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

The bionics in the north felt that their brains were not enough, and it was easy to suffer when communicating with the human parliament, so they elected a human being friendly to bionics as the leader.

"There are not too many humans in Eden. Some bionic couples have adopted human babies. The economy of the two cities in the north is actually not very good."

Martin briefly described the scene inside Eden.

Thousands of bionics lived in that city, and every day, bionics came here especially to find an entrance to that underground city.

For more than ten years, they have been strengthening the underground space and expanding the space a little bit.

Among them, ventilation measures are a very important project.

Bionics may not need oxygen, but humans do not. Many androids formed couples and adopted human children in two northern cities.

"You can often see homeless children on the streets of those two cities, and the orphanages are already full, so they can't afford more. In fact, many cities are struggling, and they are only one step away from collapse. "

Martin said he was one of the adopted children himself.

The bionic who adopted him was originally a housekeeping bionic, and he also had a name. The name followed his employer, so the long list of names in the middle of Martin actually followed the ancestors of his parents' former employers.

After they grew up, most of them integrated into human society and held various positions in the two northern cities.

The two northern cities have a very good attitude towards bionics.

It was also the first bionic congressman to appear there.

"Number Zero came to the north a few years ago, and was engaged in trouble for a while, trying to intensify the conflict between humans and bionics, but failed in the end. The two parties jointly found Zero's underground factory and expelled her."

Martin knew things in the North quite well.

This completely dispelled Ma Bo's doubts.

"What is Eden's purpose here?" asked Marble.

"Of course I heard that you formed an alliance and planned to follow the example of Eden to build a city, so I was sent here without stopping. I didn't expect it to be a step too late. You have already concluded the negotiation." Martin sighed.

"Eden means... shouldn't we build a city?"

Marble heard this meaning from Martin's tone.

The underground city was not optimistic about them.

"First of all, from the perspective of strength comparison and human attitude, the bionics outside Mowu City shouldn't gather at all."

Martin is very young, but his tone and manner when he speaks are quite mature.

He said that the original situation outside Mowu City was quite good.

The bionic organizations are scattered in various ruined cities, and human beings cannot wipe them out at once. If they really dare to do it, they will face endless harassment and chaos caused by bionics with human identities inside.

"When you gather together, humans only need to pull out the rocket artillery regiment and place it tens of kilometers away, and they can cover the entire city with rocket rain. I heard that the floating city has already developed a rocket artillery with a distance of 500 kilometers. The range of the thing is completely comparable to that of a short-range missile."

Martin said that it was the floating city that suppressed the ceiling of weapon firepower.

Now it is Floating Void City who is secretly developing weapons.

He even suspected that after the war, the people in Central City at that time did not destroy the huge number of missiles at all, but secretly buried them somewhere.

"Humanity reserves quite a lot of rocket launchers, which are used for armed raids and artillery coverage. Now that there is no sign of war in the nine major cities, who do you think they have so many reserves to deal with?" Martin asked with a smile.

"But we've finished the negotiations and signed the treaty."

"Human beings are hypocritical." Martin said: "After all, I am a human being myself, so I know a lot about human beings. A treaty is nothing more than a piece of paper. If a human being wants to beat you, do you need a reason? Find it at any time." An excuse that a soldier is missing in your city..."

Humans know humans best.

There are many human beings in Eden, all of whom were raised by bionics. They later integrated into the society of the two northern cities, learned human knowledge, and analyzed the attitudes of those two cities towards bionics from a human perspective. .

Perhaps this is why Eden has been able to exist for so long.

"Wars are actually fought for money. Baker City, another city in the south, dare not fight because Baker City is too poor. A single war can completely paralyze that city and stop the operation of various welfare guarantees."

Martin tapped the table.

"But Mowu City is different. Mowu City used to be very poor, but now Mowu City is rich, quite rich."

"Eden's idea is to let the androids outside Mowu City return to their former state and disperse?" Ma Bo asked.

"Of course not, after all, you have already started."

Martin smiled slightly, and took out a map that he carried with him.

Here is a map around the city of Mou.

The no-man's land is huge, vast, and sparsely populated.

In comparison, Mowu City is very small.

"False and true, this is the favorite routine of human beings, one on the surface and the other on the back." Martin circled the coordinates of the current city on the map.

Immediately, he made an extension on the city and drew a line.

The line slowly moved further south toward the no-man's land.

Farther away, he circled a white clearing.

That place is covered with ice and snow.

"Now this city is built for human beings to see. You can have a more hidden city."
