Global wasteland: I am as good as a god with a machine

Shangzhou Port Warehousing Area, Machinery Clinic.

The doctor held a pistol to his forehead, looking at Wu Mian with a fierce look on his face, breathing rapidly: "This... this friend, I don't know why you are so irritable, but if I remember correctly, we met before

Yes, I also saved your friend, you can't retaliate with kindness, right?"

"I'll give you two choices. Tell me where to find a brand new mechanical heart. I promise that I will never bother you again from now on, otherwise..."

Wu Mian opened the firing hammer of the pistol: "I don't think you want to hear another option!"

"You are really making things difficult for me. You know, even before synthetics were defined as non-humans, the price of a mechanical heart was as high as two million. Now even second-hand equipment is sold on the black market.

The price also exceeds five million."

No matter the beads of sweat rolled down the doctor's face: "In this era, the coalition government is more strict on cracking down on the production of prosthetics than on drug production. No one dares to touch this red line. There are very few prosthetics in existence.

If you want to find this kind of equipment, you have to go abroad. As far as I know..."

Wu Mian was pressed for time and impatiently interrupted the doctor: "I'm not talking about foreign countries, but Kyoto city."

"I don't know. Even if you kill me, I can't do it!" The doctor swallowed: "This is the capital of the coalition government. You don't know how strict the security is! It's not impossible to find a new mechanical heart.

, but I absolutely can’t do it!”

Wu Mian could see that the fear in the doctor's eyes was not disguised, so he could only settle for the next best thing: "If there is no brand new one, a second-hand one will do."

"During this period, the official crackdown on synthetics has become more and more severe, especially the appearance of the Kyoto Police Department's Plain Clothes Division 3 and the Special Agent Division 9, which has made the life of synthetics even more difficult, and the prosthetics on the black market have also been widely used.

Large-scale collection, as far as I know..."

The doctor wanted to explain something, but when he saw the impatience flashing in Wu Mian's eyes, he quickly swallowed the rest of his words and said angrily: "I can make a call and try. As for whether I can get the information you want, I

I can’t guarantee that.”

Wu Mian did not answer, but simply put away his gun.

While the doctor was on the phone, Wu Mian also sat on the chair and lit a cigarette.

What the doctor just said stimulated Wu Mian's nerves and allowed him to regain some memories.

He has heard of these two names: Three Divisions and Nine Divisions.

These two spy agencies are not under the jurisdiction of the same department. The three agencies were established by the Kyoto Police Department, while the nine agencies were established by the police department.

Although synthetic humans have been listed as an explicitly prohibited existence, there are still many wealthy businessmen in the private sector who need prosthetics to survive, so people who secretly replace mechanical organs and limbs are still banned.

The purchase of prosthetics can be suppressed with power and money, but the production of prostheses is against the entire society. Therefore, companies that are capable of producing prostheses will not take risks for the sake of profit, which makes the prices of rare prostheses rise.

.

After the Freedom War, the number of synths has dropped sharply, and the coalition government's power has been severely divided. The primary goal is to weaken the power of corporations and gangs, and will not focus all its energy on synths, so cracking down on synths has always been

The police are arresting, not the military.

In addition to regular arrests, police in various places have established relevant intelligence agencies and organized a group of "industry police" who specialize in cracking down on synthetics.

The original intention of the police to establish a special service department is definitely to protect people's livelihood and stabilize social security. However, after all, power is exercised by people. Certain policies will naturally change when they are placed in the hands of individuals and are bound by interests.

Faced with prosthetics that can earn tens or millions of dollars if resold, and thousands of dollars in bonuses distributed after capturing a synthetic human, it seems that it is not difficult for the special agents of these special departments to make a choice.

The original intention of the Police Department and the Kyoto City Bureau to establish the 3rd and 9th Bureaus was to combat synths from multiple levels and to prevent one of the departments from having too much power and someone enriching their own pockets. However, the result was that the two departments competed with each other for power.

The outcome of internal friction.

If there is demand, there will be a market. Even if the coalition government adopts a thunderous approach to the smuggling of prosthetics and sentences 80% of the captured prosthetic smugglers to death, related transactions are still banned repeatedly. After all, as long as those smugglers can

If you make a big deal, you can become a master in this era of solidified classes.

Under this background, it is tacitly understood why the two departments, Division Three and Division Nine, are competing for the law enforcement power to crack down on synthetics.

A mechanical heart that is hard to find in Kyoto and sells for millions is definitely not a valuable item for the senior officials of these two departments, but Wu Mian does not want to obtain it through this channel, because it is impossible for those senior officials to communicate with strangers.

If someone trades, even if he trades, he has no money, and with his current ability, fighting against those people is going to die.

Not long after, the doctor walked up to Wu Mian, glanced at the gun in his hand, and asked tremblingly: "You just said that as long as I can provide you with clues, you can let me go. I don't know what you said."

Is it real……"

"Don't worry, what you did is enough for the government to sentence you to death. I'm not afraid that you will betray me, and I believe you won't be that stupid."

When Wu Mian heard what the doctor said, he understood that the doctor must have found some clues, and kept his tone calm: "As long as you tell me the news I want to know, I guarantee your safety."

The doctor hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "Xin Anping, the deputy manager of the Second Branch of the United Industrial Group, bought a second-hand mechanical heart on the black market for a high price of 6.5 million two days ago. It is a universal model. I only

Know so much.”

Wu Mian put out his cigarette butt: "United Industries?"

The doctor shrugged: "United Industries is one of the five major groups. You must have heard of their background. Based on my information channels, there is only one mechanical heart transaction that can be confirmed."

Wu Mian did not respond and turned to leave.

…

Worker bee backup base.

Wu Mian sat in the conference room, looked at the remaining members, and said concisely: "Uncle Min said that Nan Ci's condition is very dangerous and it will be difficult to last for too long. If we want to save her, we must find a replacement machine.

Heart. I have found out the news that a vice president of United Industries named Xin Anping has a mechanical heart in his hand, and I am going to snatch it."

"robbery?"

One member frowned and objected: "Our Worker Bee Organization is the intelligence agency of the resistance, not a thug organization! We will not do anything that violates the law!"

"Since you know that you are a member of the organization, you should obey the orders of the organization. Now that I am the person in charge of the worker bees, all you have to do is obey."

Wu Mian looked at everyone with an arrogant attitude: "This matter does not accept any refutation. Everyone must act in accordance with my orders. Remember, I am giving orders, not discussing!"
