Bionic Era

For Mowu City, this is a rather restless morning.

The word chaos can describe everything.

On the other side of no man's land, everything is in order.

The people of the Bionic Alliance are taking Lu Wen and Fang Zhou to visit the city under construction, just like they took Martin not long ago.

"Our plan is to divide the city into four major regions, each of which can accommodate at least five million people, and leave room for expansion to facilitate the acceptance of fellow bionic humans who come in the future."

Ma Bo introduced Lu Wen with pride in his tone.

Roaring heavy machinery passed by on the city road beside them.

Those gravel, cement, bricks, steel bars, etc. were continuously transported from Mowu City.

Countless tall tower cranes have been erected in the city, and the long tower crane beams stretch over the city, moving slowly.

The tall buildings before the war were all pushed down.

Many bionics disassembled the collapsed ruins and transported them out of the city. There are special machines outside the city to break up the waste, which will be used to pave the city roads or serve as the foundation of roads leading to other cities outside the city.

Flying dust filled the entire city.

If it were a human being, they would definitely not be able to bear such severe smoke and dust. Fortunately, they are all bionics, so it doesn't matter.

"Over the years, the contacts and money we have accumulated in Mowu City are enough for us to support the construction of a city." Ma Bo said.

"But in this way, those compatriots who have replaced their identities will be exposed." Fang Zhou reminded.

"Now that the treaty has been signed, even if they are exposed, they will not be hunted down by the human executive bureau, and they can continue to live in Mowu City as before."

"What if Mo Wushi repents?" Fang Zhou asked again.

"Of course not. Their congressmen came to the no-man's land and spent several days talking dry, just to argue with us about the treaty. How could they suddenly go back on their word?"

Ark was silent.

Seeing the appearance of Lu Wen and Fang Zhou, Ma Bo knew that they still did not recognize the city, so he continued to show him other places.

"We plan to focus on building this large area in the south first, let some fellow bionic people live in it, and ask them to propose improvements during the living process, and gradually improve the entire city."

It is the southern region of the city that they are visiting now.

A fairly large area.

Judging from the main area of ​​the city ruins, the size of the city was much larger than the urban area of ​​Mowu City.

But it is smaller than the entire Mowu City.

The suburbs of Mowu City and surrounding villages and towns occupy too large an area.

"Actually, I came today...mainly to persuade you to give up building the city." Lu Wen pondered for a long time before saying this.

Everyone stopped.

Everyone in the Bionic Alliance knew that Lu Wen would still say this, but they still wanted Lu Wen to take a look at what they had achieved now.

Ma Bo is the most incomprehensible, and this city is his painstaking effort.

He put Lu Wen's shoulder and said seriously: "Number 9, my friend, take a closer look at this city, we have succeeded! This is the success of all bionics!"

Mapo pointed to places that were under construction.

"Just give me a year, after a year, this city will take shape"

"I will also build water sources, introduce animals and vegetation, stabilize wind and sand, and create enterprises belonging to bionics. Whether it is manufacturing, tourism, or finance, in the years to come, the prosperity of this city will not lose to that of Mowu City."

Mapo describes a rather rosy future.

Every bionic person has the ability to deduce the future.

In his deduction, the city will gradually become what he wants in the future.

And as the leader of the first generation of bionic alliance, his name will be forever recorded in the annals of bionics, and he will even have his own sculpture in the center of the city.

Lu Wen sighed and looked at the bionic man in front of him.

He felt that Ma Bo was too stubborn, already a little crazy.

"I have spent many years living in human cities, studying human character and behavior, just to ensure that this day will come, and to ensure that there will be no mistakes."

Mapo did a lot of things.

He spent more than ten years in the process of improving human beings' favor towards bionics in Mowu City, sending invitation letters to every ruined city to propose an alliance, and doing his best.

Perhaps since he knew that Eden in the north had successfully built a city, he had this idea.

"Maybe there are other ways." Lu Wen persuaded: "This city has always been under the eyes of human beings. It is too dangerous. You can use the construction of this city as a cover to go further south and build on the snow-covered land. An underground city."

"This idea is similar to our idea."

Martin, wearing a mask, has been following at the end of the line.

He was observing Lu Wen.

Ever since he came here, he had often heard the word 'Number Nine' from the mouths of some bionics. It was said that this bionic had played an important role in a certain treasure scramble.

After the observation just now, he can now confirm that this No. 9 is indeed somewhat different from other bionics.

Even the bionic man next to No. 9 who called himself Ark was very different from these guys outside Mowu City.

That is the difference in thought.

"Are you from Eden?" Lu Wen asked.

"Yes, Martin Brown, just call me Martin."

"I've always heard that the leader of Eden is a human being, but I didn't expect more than the leader to be human."

Naturally, the young man in front of him couldn't be the leader.

When Eden was established, he should only be a few years old.

"Eden adopted a lot of human children when it was first established, and it hasn't stopped over the years. I'm one of the earliest batches."

Martin explained.

"Our thinking is the same as yours. If the bionic people outside Mowu City really want to build a city, they can go further south, where it is safer."

But it is obvious that the bionic alliance is not prepared to listen to either Eden's suggestion or Lu Wen's suggestion.

They were just wasting their tongues.

"It seems that there is really no way to reach an agreement, so that's it, I'll go back first." Lu Wen greeted everyone.

"No. 9, I will prove it to you with actual results."

"I am looking forward."

Lu Wen finally drove away with Fang Zhou.

Three people from Eden also left together, to be precise, Martin and two bionics.

They said they had stayed here long enough, and they were going to visit Number Nine's organization again, and then they would go back to Eden.

The Bionic Alliance said some words to stay, and finally watched them leave.

"What are the guys from No. 9 and Eden worried about? Are they afraid that humans will repent?" A leader of the alliance sighed.

"It doesn't matter, whether we have them or not, the final result will not change. We will establish a kingdom of bionics, and they will understand by then."

"Are they worried about human conspiracy?"

When Eden was first established, many people said it was a human conspiracy.

They believed that humans would use that city to attract the androids scattered in every corner of the no man's land, and when enough androids gathered, they would wipe them out in one fell swoop.

But more than ten years have passed.

The city is safe and sound.

Time will tell.

...

Martin didn't want to take a look at Lu Wen's organization, he just had some ideas, so he wanted to have a brief chat with Lu Wen.

So he sat in Lu Wen's co-pilot.

When he was far enough away and the outline of the city could no longer be seen in the rearview mirror, he asked, "No. 9, how is your appeal in the no-man's land of Mowu City?"

Lu Wen understood what he meant, and could only regretfully say: "I have no appeal here. Except for the bionics I organize myself, no other bionics will listen to me."

"But I get the feeling you're pretty famous."

"Famous people don't necessarily have appeal. Many criminals are also famous."

Martin obviously hoped that Lu Wen could call on those bionics to leave the city and find other places to build the city.

But those androids were all summoned by Ma Bo.

In their consciousness, this bionic alliance is the only destination and is worthy of trust.

"This time, Eden asked me to come here to prevent them from building a city. At worst, I have to take a seat when they are negotiating and win enough benefits, but I am still a step late."

When Martin arrived, everything was settled.

Those people didn't listen to persuasion, so his arrival was actually useless.

"Negotiations are useless, be prepared, confrontation is coming." Lu Wen said.

"But in this situation, the strength gap between the two sides is too great, confrontation is impossible, and it is very likely to be a unilateral massacre." Martin was worried.

The bionics are too dense, and they only have light weapons, so they don't have enough resistance.

"You'll find out later."

Lu Wen smiled and didn't explain too much.

There are many things that you will only believe if you see it with your own eyes.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Lu Wen to believe that Baker City could raise such a huge army of bionics.

"I actually want to know your attitude towards human beings," Lu Wen said.

"us?"

Martin was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

What Lu Wen was talking about were humans raised by bionics.

"In fact, in Eden, the education we have received since childhood is mainly about peace. If we can avoid fighting with humans, we should try our best to avoid it."

Martin didn't answer directly.

It may even be difficult for them themselves to tell which side is more biased.

"You all live in human cities when you grow up?"

"right."

Martin didn't deny it.

"When we grow up, we will be sent to the nine major cities. Everyone can choose for themselves, and most of them still choose the two cities in the north."

Those were also the two cities that the bionics of Eden were most familiar with.

Those two cities are friendly to the bionics, so the humans raised by the bionics will not have any pressure to live in them.

"Of course, we generally have a certain background, especially in cities other than the two northern cities."

Martin said that the people of Eden were very good at faking their backgrounds.

In this way, it is convenient for the human beings raised by them to integrate into other cities.

"There are people from you in Mowu City?" Lu Wen asked.

"Of course." Martin nodded.

"Then why do you have to come here from the north? Wouldn't it be better to ask the people in Mowu City to convey the news?"

"They all have a mission, it's important, they can't walk away."

"Why not take a flight instead of driving across no man's land, worried about being identified?"

"I do have this concern."

Lu Wen stopped asking questions, as he recognized the identity of the person in front of him.

Maybe it's because there are too many things recently, one after another, which made him overly sensitive, and he felt that there was something wrong with everything.

Even after shaking hands with the two bionics of Eden and completing the data transmission to confirm their identities, Lu Wen was still worried, so he asked a few more questions.

Martin's performance was within the normal range.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

The car passed by on the dry and cracked ground, leaving the imprint of the wheels, which was then buried by the wind and sand.

Soon, the time came to two o'clock in the afternoon.

Visibility in no man's land is pretty good right now.

Lu Wen did not return to his organization, but took Martin directly to the place where the bionics were stationed in Baker City, and all the bionics were already in place.

The car roared up a high slope.

Stand on top of the slope.

All the sights ahead are unobstructed.

Under the khaki sky, yellow sand billows.

Dense tents, armored vehicles coming and going, high barbed wire fences, and the edge cannot be seen at a glance. This is an ocean composed of an army of bionics.

A fighter jet pierced the sky, and the sound of the sonic boom was deafening.

Martin's eyes widened.

"This... this is..."
