Bionic Era

It was nearly five o'clock in the morning.

An old off-road vehicle was driving in a desolate no man's land.

Jiang Xiaonian sat in the driver's seat, looking calmly ahead.

He changed clothes.

Got a gun.

No man's land at night looks very lonely.

Except for the howling wind and sand, there is no other company.

The off-road vehicle came to a ruined city.

It's very quiet here.

Desolation and dilapidation spread wantonly with the wind and sand.

There used to be androids who were willing to live in these cities, but now those androids have left and gone to the Bionics Alliance.

"Crack..."

Jiang Xiaonian got out of the car and crushed a piece of dead wood.

Wearing a night vision tool, he walked slowly into a dilapidated hotel.

The gate of the hotel has been corrupted and collapsed over the years, buried by endless yellow sand.

There are many rooms on the first floor of the hostel.

He goes into one of them.

The interior decoration of the room is very simple.

A bed, a wardrobe, and a desk.

Already decayed.

The fallen walls were all over the floor, and the air was filled with the smell of decay.

Jiang Xiaonian lifted the tattered quilt on the bed.

The underside of the bed has not yet rotted away.

Uncover the bed.

A dark tunnel was revealed.

...

Zero has many underground lairs.

It has also only been spotted by a handful of people over the years.

Most of her lairs are in the south, with the most around Baker City.

Maybe it was to protect her main body, or maybe it was to surround Dr. Jiang.

Stay away from this underground place in Mowu City.

Zero sits in front of the big screen.

Long emptiness and solitude float in this fortress,

She didn't accept her failure.

But at present, her body has been locked, cut off the connection with the outside world, and can't even sense other bodies, and she dare not take the initiative to try to break the blockade.

She knew that a bionic person had taken over the authority of A00 and was waiting for her outside.

Zero is very distressed by this situation where he can't do anything.

As much as she hates to admit it, she needs help now, and the person who helped her has stopped contacting her.

A voice suddenly sounded in this underground space.

"clatter……"

"clatter……"

It was footsteps.

Someone is coming down.

A visitor, or an enemy?

Zero became alert, she looked at the entrance, her gun clutched tightly.

More than ten seconds.

The footsteps stopped.

A skinny young man stood at the entrance, half of his face was burned by the flames, making him look a little scary.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

There was no emotion in his calm voice.

Like a dead man crawling out of a morgue.

"Jiang Xiaonian..."

Zero saw who was coming.

This person is just a pawn that she once arranged.

There are thousands of such small chess pieces in her hands.

Some were used by her all the time, and some were killed after being used.

"Did Lu Wen call you here?"

"That's right."

"You came to kill me?"

"yes."

Zero got a positive answer from Jiang Xiaonian.

She was silent for a moment, and used the body's existing deduction ability to calculate the probability of her getting out alive.

The probability is very low.

The young man in front of him was very dangerous, and he could feel that dangerous aura from a long distance away.

"Actually, we can work together."

"How to cooperate?"

"I can get that person's help again, regain authority from Lu Wen or the restarted A00, and set off a bionic riot again. This time I will not fail, and I will build a world ruled by bionics."

"What's in it for me?"

"I need the creativity of human beings, so I will raise some human beings in captivity. You happen to be a human being. I can hand over those human beings to you to manage you. You are their king. Whatever you want to do, just..."

"boom--!"

Blue blood splatter.

With a "click", the gun in No. 0's hand was blown away and fell to the ground.

Jiang Xiaonian looked at her indifferently, and said: "I thought you could sense that I was distracting you, but you didn't. It seems that failure really hit you hard."

"you……"

Zero looked at the gun that fell on the ground, and then at Jiang Xiaonian.

Her arm was still overflowing with blue blood.

"Don't you want to be free? What did Lu Wen promise you? Will he let you go if you are stumped?"

"He didn't say anything." Jiang Xiaonian responded truthfully.

"He will definitely not let you go. He has human memory. Although he is a machine, he is bound by human morality and will take you back again. You..."

"boom--!"

Another shot.

Hit the head this time.

The body of number zero fell down.

Until the moment before she was hit, she still had the idea of ​​tricking Jiang Xiaonian into cooperating with her.

Jiang Xiaonian calmly retracted the gun.

Return to the ground step by step.

It's six o'clock in the morning.

It was slightly bright.

He leaned against the old off-road vehicle, silent for a long time.

The wind and sand are constantly walking through the streets and alleys of this city, engulfing desolation and aimlessly moving forward.

Jiang Xiaonian was waiting for a call.

Not long after, the phone rang.

Opposite is a familiar voice.

The voice just said four words.

"you're free."

"Your human morality?"

"Even human beings are not necessarily bound by moral values."

Hang up over there.

Jiang Xiaonian put down the phone.

He knew that Lu Wen was still looking at him.

Now Lu Wen is everywhere.

Every camera, whether it is a mobile phone or a computer, is Lu Wen's eyes, and he can also hack into any electronic device.

As long as we live in modern times.

He couldn't escape Lu Wen's surveillance.

That's why Lu Wen let him go.

Jiang Xiaonian smiled lightly, this should be the first time he smiled in a long time, he returned to the car and set off towards the urban area of ​​Mowu City.

The billowing yellow sand submerged the back of the car.

Lopsided……

...

It was half past six this morning.

Sleeping people wake up.

Summer's sleep is always short, and they have a lot to do.

Homes have been damaged, roads need to be cleared and businesses are reopening.

The heavy cloud that had been hanging over Mowu City also dissipated.

It is an early morning with dawn.

Brilliant golden morning glow.

After one night.

There are only two big topics that people discuss in the nine cities.

[Whether A00 can still control all bionics after restarting]

【Where will the bionic man go?】

I don't know who spread the news that A00 is restarting.

Everyone is worried.

The fate of bionics has also become a big problem.

At least for now, these androids can be kept temporarily to help clean up the ruins of the city.

Many buildings have to be demolished and rebuilt.

The city of West, which suffered the most losses, basically needs to start all over again.

Even the royal palace is dilapidated.

"Lu Wen, is A00 really restarting?"

At seven o'clock in the morning, everyone gathered at the Executive Directorate of the Ninth District.

The first question asked was this.

Everyone's biggest concern right now.

Lu Wen didn't want to lie to them, so he nodded.

"Um."

"Then she...after she reboots, is she still the same as before?"

"Not sure, maybe she will lose all her memory, only her original bionic instinct will remain."

"Does she still have the authority of all bionics?"

"have."

A00 shared her authority with Lu Wen.

Lu Wen can use the remaining data centers.

"To be prepared, it's best to spread the news in advance." Lu Wen looked at everyone, "There is still half an hour before she restarts, and there may be some abnormalities at that time. She needs to adapt to her own authority when she starts up. All the androids may be controlled again, and there may be abnormalities in the electrical appliances at home and the screens on the street."

"It's going to cause people to panic."

"That's why advance notice is required."

So people started spreading the news.

The councils of eight other cities were the first to get the news.

This news was quickly known by most of the people under their spare no effort to promote it.

"The bionics are going to be controlled again?"

"Just for a moment, A00 needs to get used to clearance."

"Didn't you hear that she was dead? How could she have a data backup with such a large amount of data?"

There was a lot of discussion.

This topic also became the hottest topic of discussion this morning.

【Do you want A00 to restore memory】

Statistics like this appear on various social platforms.

The final statistical results were surprising.

There are actually 73% of people who hope that A00 can restore the memory after restarting.

"She prevented this catastrophe that could destroy the world, and she deserves a lot of credit."

"At least before this, she had had these clearances for almost 80 years without doing anything out of the ordinary."

This result even felt unbelievable to Lu Wen.

He secretly hacked some personal devices.

In the personal chat records of some residents, when communicating with friends, they all said things like hoping that the bionics would disappear, and hope that the restart of A00 would fail.

However, these residents actually clicked "hope to restore memory" when making anonymous statistics.

"Deceptive behavior of humans."

...

In the north of Eden.

The eruption here is very late.

All the simple rebuilding and cleaning has been done.

The city returned to normal, and all the bionics began to perform their duties and continued to expand the urban space.

They are also concerned about the restart of A00.

"Lu Wen, are you sure?" Constantine asked.

"It's not up to me, it depends on A00 himself."

Eden's management is waiting outside the warehouse at this time.

After one night.

Lu Wen successfully followed A00's method to get all the data of those two years on the server.

Restarts are slow.

At about five o'clock in the morning, the A00 was already on, and it has not yet opened its eyes.

half an hour.

Neither long nor short.

On this day when the sun at dawn completely sprinkled.

The little girl who had been sitting by the bed slowly opened her eyes.

...

at the same time.

Electronics around the world suffer from some level of disruption.

The big screens on the street and people's mobile phones and computers started to flicker again.

Even all the androids are eerily still.

"Yes...A00 restarted?"

Everyone held their breath.

The planet has never been so quiet.

Soldiers in every city were ordered to kill the bionics immediately if they became abnormal.

After A00 opened his eyes.

There was no action.

She just lowered her head and said a word softly.

This sentence appeared on those big screens on the street.

People all over the world can see it.

"hello, world"

...

Good night, fellow readers!

During this period of time, the main problem was the eyes. Conjunctivitis happened again. The disease came back and forth, and the eyes were itchy. I took some allergy medicine, and I always felt sleepy after taking eye drops. Why do young people always commit this thing.
