Bionic Era

"Lu Wen, your copy of the data is still with me, remember to come and get it tomorrow."

"Good Uncle Luo."

"Take good care of Xiaoxia, don't let her run around."

"no problem."

The phone hangs up.

Just a few words.

Luo Ruyan told him to go and get the copy of the document tomorrow.

"Could he have made a copy of my information?" Lu Wen habitually wanted to frown, but then suddenly remembered what Xia Chuluo said about the surveillance in the room.

Very passive!

Since the dinner last night, he and Xia Chuluo have fallen into a passive state.

But why didn't Xia Chuluo remind him at the beginning? Is it because Xia Chuluo wasn't sure last night?

"The monitoring is not so small that the naked eye cannot recognize it. Luo Ruyan is also aware of the capabilities of my body, so there should be no monitoring in a small space, and it is easy to be found."

Lu Wen thought about it.

"The bedroom and the living room must be monitored."

"As for the kitchen ... if there is one, it can only be hidden in the smoke alarm."

"Xia Chuluo is pretending to be stupid. She is sober now, so the medicine she took since childhood has no effect. But she has been pretending to be taking medicine for so many years. Who is this for?"

For a while, Lu Wen thought of a lot.

Xia Chuluo's parents died in a car accident when she was very young, but she always felt that there was another reason.

According to Wu Yu, Xia Chuluo's father is a very powerful person, even the number zero has to be taken seriously, and he wanted to create the illusion that such a person had a car accident...

Either the opponent is strong, or the opponent is...

loved ones?

"It's time to eat, turn down the volume of the TV, so as not to disturb the neighbors."

Lu Wen walked to the living room with the prepared dishes.

This may be the most passive moment since his rebirth. It's fine if there is a zero number pretending to be a ghost, and Luo Ruyan who doesn't know the details comes.

The body in No Man's Land fared much better.

Everything is under control.

...

Dusk in no man's land is charming.

The night wind rolled up the fine sand, like a soft tulle, blowing over the low and rolling mounds.

The mechanical spider crawled across the sloping abandoned high-rise, its eyes glowing red.

With a light leap, its legs curled into a ball, and it rolled down onto the dry and cracked city road.

"he came."

"Number nine?"

"Um."

"Only him?"

"right."

"Very sincere."

Two androids sit on an abandoned traffic light.

Beneath the lamps lay cracked asphalt.

It used to be spacious and tidy, but now it has been mostly buried by sand.

The asphalt road leads to a huge city, a dilapidated fortress of steel and concrete, wind and sand passing through the icy void.

The setting sun stretched Lu Wen's shadow very long, and the wind that hit the ground blew past his ankles, and the soles of his feet stamped footprints on the yellow sand.

"Number Nine, my friend, you are finally here!"

The two androids jumped off the traffic lights.

One of the tall ones smiled and extended his hand kindly.

This world is always like this. When we don't meet each other, we are tense, but the first thing we do when we meet is to laugh.

"my friend."

Reach out and don't hit the smiling face.

Lu Wen also smiled and stretched out his hand.

"The message said, you want me to join you with my own organization?"

"Joining is too much of a stretch. Bionic people are a family. We only hope that we can gather those family members who are wandering outside."

It was still the tall man who spoke.

【Core Red Five Generations】

【No. Ⅴ17-0000036598】

【Military type】

The military type is the most difficult to escape after awakening.

There are at least three fuses in the body, and any one of them can cause a crash and be dragged back by the company to restart.

Therefore, most of the awakened bionics that Lu Wen sees now are housekeeping or labor service types, and security types are rare.

"The news you sent is not convincing." Lu Wen said in a questioning tone.

"My friend, you have to be clear about one thing. Whether it's parts or blue blood, they are precious resources in no man's land. Join us, and you can get a certain allocation of resources." The tall man seemed very patient, explained.

"Where do you get your resources? Replace human identity?"

"My friend, you still know the identity of a human. You are indeed very unusual." The short man said, "But the identity of a human is only available in large organizations. Under normal circumstances, a bionic organization of a hundred people may not be able to To have a human identity."

Lu Wen glanced at the short man.

【Core Red Five Generations】

【No.Ⅴ02-0004459821】

【Security type】

The little man was right.

There are more than 300 people in Brother Cockroach's organization, and there are only three human identities, so there is always a risk of exposure.

"Without a human identity, your supplies were... robbed?"

"A small part was snatched." The short man said with a smile: "My friend, although you are very smart, your knowledge is not long enough after all. Those useless family members, their bodies... are not materials ?”

"You dismantled your own kind? The living kind?" Lu Wen's eyes were fixed.

"My friend, do you know about the Air Disaster in the Andes?"

The short man jumped onto the short mound beside him.

He stretched out his right hand and drew an arc in the air.

"Those human beings fell on the snow-capped mountains, and the color of the cabin merged with the snow-capped mountains. They heard the news of abandoning the search and rescue on the radio. The severe cold took away many survivors, and it also made the living gradually cold..."

"After many days, they eat all they can eat, and if there is nothing to eat, they die, my friend, do you know what choice those humans made?"

The short man opened his hands.

It seems to be showing Lu Wen this vast no-man's land.

These ruins, these places where human civilization was once glorious.

"This is no man's land, and it's more cruel than that snow-capped mountain."

"My friend, choose to give up some, so you can get more."

Life is all about trade-offs.

At least that's how it is in human life.

"I don't think so." Lu Wen said lightly, "Since you said that every bionic person is a family member, then naturally there are family members who need to be protected. Usefulness and uselessness are only relative terms."

"Hehe, my friend, I guessed what you were thinking, so I made some preparations in advance."

The short man smiled.

"Do you know, in fact, we don't want your organization, we just want you to join in alone." He paused, "After all, whoever can lead the group of old, weak, sick and disabled to arrest a team of executive officers Bionic people are really too rare."

"You, can be the soul of our organization."

"But you don't want to join, and you need some means at this time."

"My friend, don't you find it strange? Why are only me and him here to greet you?"
