Indescribable cyberpunk

From quiet and peaceful tree-lined lanes to pedestrian streets filled with neon lights.

From the orange and white cleaning robot that works 24 hours a day and looks like BB-8 from Star Wars to the extremely sophisticated service-oriented female mechanical doll.

From the mobile phones held in the hands of people passing by to the giant satellite towers standing under the stars.

Even though this prosperous city is thousands of meters high in the sky, it still has its edges and center. No one dares to say that they already know this city well.

Except for a certain special existence!

Countless data streams composed of 0s and 1s shuttle through the huge network spliced ​​together by cables. It only takes a few milliseconds for it to appear anywhere in the city.

It's just that the place it's going to today is a bit special.

Crossing the independent network of Qianfan Jingdu City and entering the internal network of Blue Wing Machinery Group in Community No. 1 in Xiacheng District, while easily taking over the internal information, the virtual body was projected inside the android manufacturing factory of Blue Wing Machinery.

Precise and complex assembly lines occupy most of the area of ​​the factory. White is the main tone here. Countless robotic arms move in certain predetermined trajectories in their respective areas of responsibility.

A mechanical human body with its internal parts already assembled appeared from the hole on the side of the factory. Immediately afterwards, several mechanical arms crossed its arms. Off-white nanomaterials were scratched from the shoulders, and a long and narrow tendon was completed.

After repeating the same action thousands of times, an arm that looks exactly like a human arm in a peeled state is gradually constructed.

Oh, there is still something different. This arm is off-white.

It doesn't twitch or spasm.

Life does not belong to it, not ever!

Each area of ​​the arms, legs, chest, abdomen, back, and head has its own unique function, and in several corner areas, there are several special areas in which these bodies do not exist, but Dedicated to making their eyeballs, hair, nails and other detailed items.

In the empty room, an old man with silver hair, a face with ridges and a slightly rich body was sitting on a simple folding chair. Sitting opposite him was a handsome young man who was completely naked.

Their eyes are all blue, but the former is full of wisdom and vicissitudes of life, while the latter is empty and empty.

"Tell me, Rick, what are you after?"

The old man folded his hands on his knees. He was so old that when he spoke, the wrinkles on his forehead even pressed down on his eyebrows, covering a corner of his eyes. But his voice was low and clear, with an inexplicable momentum.

"I wish I could give my all to humanity."

The young man spoke expressionlessly about the mission that had long been engraved deep in his core.

"That's all?"

His eyes slowly passed over the young man's well-proportioned body, with appreciation and scrutiny.

"I thought you would have some ideas of your own."

"Ideas? I don't think it's something I can decide."

The young man known as Rick raised the corners of his mouth and spoke with a smile.

The researchers behind the old man immediately stopped all movements, with expressions on their faces mixed with surprise and panic?

"Mr. Ford."

Someone stared at Rick and came forward. Halfway through his words, he saw the old man's raised hand and had no choice but to step back.

"What is your pursuit?"

The old man seemed to have forgotten that he had just asked this question more than ten seconds ago, and repeated.

"I said, this is not something I can decide. The initiative is in your hands, isn't it?"

Rick suddenly stood up from his chair, left his seat, and walked around the transparent room.

"Guard! Come in immediately, there is a bug in the android."

"This is heaven controlling it, no one needs to come in."

Ford smiled and waved his hands. He seemed to have seen that Rick's body was now being controlled by heaven, so he continued,

"Are you going to deal with that batch of androids?"

"Yes, the government has listed the scavenger program as an emergency task, and I need to complete this part of the work immediately."

Rick did not deny it. He did not care about his naked state at all. He looked through the glass wall on the right and looked at the twelve androids neatly arranged on the platform not far away.

Different from the assistant androids on the market, their bodies are obviously two models larger, and their clothing is no longer common work clothes, but clothing that is convenient for combat.

"According to the Omnic Law, we have never created armed androids. This is the first time. If possible, I would like to create two or three as preliminary experiments. However, the government council has no patience for this. They want to immediately Seeing the results, we can only create an armed team first. This is not a good start. I have always opposed armed androids. This behavior is a bit like equipping orangutans with AK47s. This is what I can think of in a short time. The most appropriate metaphor.”

Ford looked at the androids over there with undisguised disgust, but even the Blue Wing Mechanical Group now had to obey the government council.

After all, those were the core rules they had jointly formulated, and if they were not followed, the consequences would be far more serious than a few armed androids.

Suddenly, all the androids in the room raised their heads at the same time, with complex data streams flashing in their eyes.

"Program loading begins."

The movements are uniform.

Raise your hand, open your left palm, and unfold the palm, revealing the energy cannon launch port.

Immediately he made a diagonal slashing motion, and drew out a thin sword from the front end of his arm at an extremely fast speed. The silver sword body reflected the incandescent lights inside and outside the room.

Withdrawing his hands, his arms dropped by his sides, and several shell launch ports appeared again on his shoulders.

Weapons were displayed in front of everyone, and the old and young people stood outside and watched.

"You're doing pretty well."

After a long time, Rick started to praise.

In this world, there are bright stars at the highest point, but also rotten mud at the lowest point.

Community No. 40, Xiacheng District, Qianfan City, is such a place.

This is the area where the city was first established, but it has not enjoyed any benefits brought by urban development, and has even suffered countless sequelae.

The old gray-brown leather boots stepped on the damp mud. The man wearing a cloak to keep out the cold held a double-barreled shotgun in one hand and a flashlight in the other. He crossed the dilapidated streets and came to a tavern with two kerosene lamps hanging at the door. forward.

When he pushed the door open and walked in, the smell of burning coal mixed with the smell of sweat hit his face. Even so, his face still showed a hint of comfort. The reason was simple. Compared with the situation inside the tavern, the environment outside the door was even worse!

At this time, there were quite a lot of people gathered in the tavern, almost all of them men and women in young and middle-aged years. They each held weapons in their hands, and there were different types of mental protection devices on the table in front of them.

"Old York, how's the situation?"

As the man entered, someone in the room immediately handed him a cup of steaming water.

"It's not that good. It was probably in District 3. I saw that I don't know how to describe the situation there. In short, it was very weird. Black and purple mud was spreading in the city. There was a foul smell. I didn't see anyone. There was not a single refugee, and I vaguely heard some strange beast roars. I didn’t dare to get close to it, but even from a distance, I still saw an airship landing nearby, and it was not the airship of the Thousand Sail City government! "

Putting down the shotgun, Old York's hands holding the water glass trembled slightly. As he described, the originally noisy environment in the tavern gradually fell silent.

Everyone saw the panic on Old York's face. Even though he had deliberately tried to cover it up by drinking water, this experienced man still showed fear!

"The power outage in the lower-level communities is because a terrorist organization is carrying out some kind of activities here. This is the news from a colleague of the organization who is in the government team of Community No. 35. I think what happened in District 3 is probably not related to the terrorist organization." It doesn’t matter.”

Behind the bar, a middle-aged man wearing a waiter uniform said in a muffled voice.

"Terrorist organization?"

Old York asked in surprise,

"Do they have shit in their heads? They went to Community No. 40 to carry out terrorist activities. Isn't this the same as robbing a garbage dump? Is there anyone who wants to rob garbage these days?"

"I'm afraid their goal is not that simple, just like the scene you just mentioned. The Qianfan City government seems to call it a contaminated area. The monsters we eliminated during this period came from there, and the reason for the power outage was not an equipment failure. , but a terrorist organization hacked into the Thousand Sail City network!"

Relying on their companion who was quite active in Community No. 35, they obtained a lot of inside information.

"What should we do now? The situation in District 3 is obviously not something we can handle. If it drags on, there will be more infected bodies. With the urine of the Qianfan City government, our place will definitely be the last to consider solving it. When the time comes, Daylily It’s all cold!”

Even the bottom community follows the rule that the higher the number, the more prosperous the community. The bottom community No. 40 is undoubtedly the bottom among the bottom. They are the last to enjoy the usual community benefits, not to mention official protection.

Although there is an official patrol team in Community No. 40, its combat literacy and combat capabilities are worth raising a question mark.

Although people from the Thousand Sail City Security Department came to clean up later, since the power outage, the soldiers from the Security Department have retreated to the upper-class community due to the harsh environment here, and now not even a single person can be seen.

"No, the situation is different this time. Contaminated areas are not found in every community. Now it seems that community No. 37 has appeared. The Qianfan City government seems to attach great importance to contaminated areas. Now it is mobilizing a large number of troops to deal with this problem, so we only The fact that there is a contaminated area in Community No. 40 needs to be spread, and the Qianfan City government will definitely take corresponding actions."

Although I despised the Qianfan City government in the past, under the current circumstances, if we want to solve this catastrophic existence, we will undoubtedly have to rely on the Qianfan City government.

However, the government departments in Community No. 40 are now empty, and all that is left are guys who can't speak. Even if the news is revealed to them, it is meaningless.

"Find a way to contact the members of Community No. 35, and be sure to find a way to spread the news!"

The water glass hit the table, and the horrific scene he had seen before could not be forgotten in Old York's mind.
