Bionic Era

Chapter 399 The Second City

Complicated feelings.

At the beginning, all the main combat factions are now very entangled.

In the no-man's land not far from Mowu City, there is a big city.

Now known as the second city of bionics.

Not long after the city was established, the main combat faction in Mowu City had already started plotting to destroy the city one day.

In fact, they almost succeeded, but Lu Wen happened to arrive in time with the strongest army of Baker City bionics on land.

In this impromptu meeting at dusk, everyone had different expressions.

Some people have repeatedly stated: "Our situation is completely different from that of the West. The West is really unable to support it. It has no strength to resist, so it turns to bionics for help. But we are fully capable of using existing All the invaders are wiped out."

"In fact, even if there are ten times more intruders, we can completely wipe them out. It's just a matter of time!"

A modern metropolis with a population of nearly 200 million.

Both military and economy are at the top level of the ground world.

The size of the normal army exceeds 600,000, and there are millions of reserve troops who have only been discharged after two years of enlistment. There are abundant weapons and equipment, and various military factories continue to produce day and night.

And the opponent's humanoid machines are limited after all.

Just as the person who spoke just now said, even if there were ten times as many humanoid mechanical troops as the battlefield in this steel jungle in which they lived, after day after day of brutal tug-of-war, the final victory would only belong to the Mowu City.

"Now is the time of war, let's put aside personal prejudices and political prejudices, there is no need to use the lives of residents to consume the strength of the other side."

Mou City fell into the same situation as the West before.

Opponents and supporters of contacting androids are divided into two factions.

This time, it may be that there is really no interest.

It is purely a team from a personal perspective and a city perspective.

The two sides insisted on their own opinions and spat on each other.

Naturally, Wei Bo'an supports finding bionics and transferring the residents of Mowu City, but the anti-bionics forces are deeply rooted, and many old stubborn people are against bionics.

This prejudice has started since the first generation product A01 was shown in front of everyone 80 years ago.

Eighty years of opposition have accumulated.

"If you want to find those bionic people, go find them. Anyway, I will definitely not. In the end, there will always be a group of people who will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"

"I also object. It is this period of war that can test human will even more. From ancient times to the present, when have we really relied on machinery?"

Among the anti-bionic people group, there is also a part that is anti-technology.

They oppose all high technology including bionics.

Some people think these technologies are bogus.

Others believe that if this continues, human beings will become more and more dependent on machines, their own evolution will stop, and one day they will be ruled by machines.

For this reason, they also painstakingly compiled the 'Theory of Human Degeneration'.

For example, humans used to be able to resist various diseases on their own, but later they needed to rely on antibiotics produced by fungi such as Penicillium to survive. It seems that the human race needs to have a special symbiotic relationship with other races to survive and reproduce... Many people feel that The entire human race is becoming weaker and needs to rely more and more on external things. The prosperity of science and technology is the best explanation for this phenomenon.

Many opinions are actually untenable, but there are always a small number of people who believe deeply.

"It's really interesting for these people to fight back and forth. They all stand on the commanding heights of morality and emotion. Speaking of which, these politicians are actually the most powerful keyboard warriors."

Xia Chuluo took a sip of tea lightly and continued watching the play.

Her statement was indeed correct.

These politicians have knowledge, culture and status, and their skills in trolling people are particularly outstanding. They often troll each other across the Internet platform. They can be called the top group of keyboard warriors in Mowu City.

Now it's just shifted from online to offline.

Since the start of the android riots, the high level of anxiety and anxiety has put this government under the greatest pressure in 80 years. Many people no longer wear that hypocritical smile mask, and often spray each other in their busy daily work.

"What kind of wedding dress do you think I should wear then?" Xia Chuluo put the phone pictures she was browsing in front of Lu Wen.

"They are arguing so fiercely, why are you paying attention to this?"

Fatty Jiang's wedding is still several months away, and Lu Wen feels that it is too early to pay attention to these things now.

It is unknown when the war will end.

That old guy Yin Long didn't know where he was hiding.

The only thing that is certain is that Yin Long is in the high-level world.

But the high-level world is so big, it's easy for a little old man to hide it.

"I think you have a way to stop these guys from arguing?" Xia Chuluo asked.

"Why do you say that?"

"After all, you are the owner of that city. It is very easy to find out which residents of Mowu City have settled in recently."

In the early stage of the war, in the first week or two, wealthy businessmen from Mowu City had brought their families to the second city of bionics.

In the past three months, many residents of Mowu City have come here one after another.

Lu Wen only charged part of the fee symbolically.

Those who can think of taking refuge in the bionic city at this time are almost all a group of people who are very well-informed and trust the bionics, such as Belan engineers, or some high-level officials of Mowu City.

Ordinary people can't think of this.

They were not well-informed enough to know that the second city of bionics was already liveable.

Now that Xia Chuluo has explained everything, Lu Wen no longer hides it, and said in a low voice: "There is a very interesting phenomenon at the moment, many of those who oppose bionics have quietly put their own The family has moved to the second city of bionics."

"It's really interesting."

These cunning and cunning old politicians will never know how many masks they wear on their faces.

Now it seems that the face is flushed with arguing, but who knows how many people are pretending?

The two watched with interest as they quarreled.

Even wanted some popcorn.

After the quarrel lasted for more than an hour, both parties may feel that the performance is almost done, and the tone of each other is also milder.

But there is still no conclusion on whether to ask the bionics for help.

So Lu Wen appeared.

He looked at an old man in the anti-bionic camp, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Yan Tao, why do you object to asking for support from bionics?"

The old gentleman looked serious, and snorted coldly: "We are human beings, the creators of bionics, how can we ask for help from those numb machines?"

This is almost as good as not saying.

But the general meaning was mixed with the cold tone.

So everyone on the anti-bionic camp applauded and expressed their support.

So Lu Wen's smile became even brighter.

He asked softly: "Then Mr. Yan Tao, why did you secretly send your family to the second city of bionics?"

Yan Tao's face suddenly changed, his face was sullen, and his voice contained anger: "Are you investigating me privately?"

"As the chief executive of the fifteenth district, I have the right to directly investigate your financial transactions. If you feel unhappy, you can ask your lawyer to discuss these issues with me."

Not long ago, Lu Wen was promoted.

The 15th District only has the tourism industry, and working here has no other purpose except to provide for the elderly. The previous chief executive was extremely corrupt, leaving a mess.

So Lu Wen was upgraded logically under Wei Boan's operation.

Not even a voice of dissent.

After the war, there will be another change of parliamentarians, and Lu Wen will have another identity at that time.

Wei Bo'an must have had enough of these old politicians who disagree with him, so he is building his own team.

Inside the venue.

Under everyone's gaze, Yan Tao really had nothing to say, so he could only sit down angrily with a cold snort.

This is the default.

He quietly transferred his family to the second city of bionics.

So the camp supporting the bionics was suddenly excited.

Yan Tao is obviously not an exception.

When Lu Wen's eyes moved towards the anti-bionic camp, most people either lowered their heads or turned their eyes to other places. Few people dared to look at him.

The confrontation between the two camps was thus broken.

"Let's start transferring residents tomorrow. There can be no further delay. I don't know if the other party has more mechanical troops."

...

End of the meeting.

The whole city continued to function in an orderly manner.

Gunshots sounded from all corners, quite close to the parliament building.

Every old politician has a bunch of bodyguards to protect himself.

It is human nature to be afraid of death.

There are still a few corpses that have not been taken away in the square in front of the building. Fortunately, the weather is getting cooler now, and the flesh and blood will not rot so quickly.

Wei Bo'an walked to Lu Wen's side with a smile, and put his hand on his shoulder. The two were like a pair of brothers who had known each other for many years.

"We will leave it to you to take care of the transferred residents from Mowu City. The accommodation arranged for them must be better than those guys in the west."

"You go to No. 9 for this matter, why are you looking for me, Lu Wen?"

"It's this time, are you still pretending?"

"..."

Looking at the dimly flickering street lights in the distance, Lu Wen sighed helplessly.

"This war will last for a few more months, and people from all over the world will have to go to my little broken city."

Wei Bo'an said with a smile: "Who told you that you have such great ability now, how do you say that...the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

Lu Wen replied, "Have you seen "Dragonfly Man"?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"In the movie, after the protagonist's uncle was shot, he fell to the ground and said to the protagonist: 'The more powerful you are, the more girls you will have'."

"Is this a serious movie?"

...

The big transfer in Mowu City started at the dawn of the next day.

Only some residents need to be transferred.

Mainly areas heavily infiltrated by those humanoid machines.

As for other areas, it is still safe for the time being.

There are people spontaneously organized to patrol the rear of the city.

They clenched the guns in their hands, and many of them were reservists who had returned from the army, and they just wanted to do their part to defend the city.

There are also some who don't have much fighting ability, but try their best to contribute.

"The front lines close to those invaders have already begun to evacuate the residents, and the area ahead will completely become a place for fighting."

"Everyone cheer up, don't relax, more and more intruders will break through the front line of defense and enter our area..."

Residents who acted spontaneously were enthusiastic.

Many shops along the street are still open.

Some provide hot water and food for the patrolling residents with guns, some provide a place to rest temporarily, and some repair damaged vehicles or remodeled mechanical bodies for free.

Lu Wen casually strolled on the street.

Beside him are the people and vehicles that are constantly patrolling back and forth. The smoke and dust are billowing and the roar is constant.

The atmosphere here is a little more relaxed than the frontline area, but the tension of many people can also be felt.

Some people greet him when they see him.

Lu Wenhui nodded in response.

The body is currently just looking around.

Most of his energy was concentrated on the No. 9 body in the second city of the bionic man.

"The city is still not big enough and needs to continue to expand."

Money, population, weaponry, urban planning...

Massive amounts of data flowed in Lu Wen's brain.

Fortunately, he has obtained the authority of A00, and all the data centers are for him to use, otherwise Lu Wen would probably have been down many times now.

While frowning and thinking, Lu Wen unknowingly walked to a familiar place.

【Fanshi Machinery Repair Factory】

Very kind five words.

This is where Yunyang works.

This young man was the first few humans that Lu Wen met after turning on the phone, and had a lot of intersections.

The nearest billboard was placed at the entrance of the machine repair shop, with words like "Repair cars and mechanical bodies for the inspection team free of charge".

We haven't seen each other for several months, but Yun Yang is still the same.

Relatively thin, sitting at the gate of the machine repair shop.

The war had shut down most of the industry, and there was no one in the streets except patrols, so he had an easy job now.

In fact he came voluntarily.

After offering to help the inspection team repair the mechanical equipment, the owner of the machine repair shop gave Yun Yang the key and told him to be careful.

The young man was not very lucky to encounter war within a few months of his marriage.

Lu Wen stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Are you in conflict with your wife?"

Yun Yang was surprised and asked, "How do you know this?"

Lu Wen pointed to his left ring finger.

"There are traces of wearing a ring, but there is no ring. You took the ring off. This is not normal for a newlywed husband who has just been married for a few months, so I guess your young couple has a relationship problem."

"Indeed."

Yun Yang sighed slightly.

He said that he had not met the bride a few times before getting married, after all, it was the parents of both parties.

After getting married, all kinds of trivial things in life revealed that the two people's personalities are not compatible. It can be said that they are far apart. They have not even passed the honeymoon period, and they began to live in separate rooms. Now Yun Yang even sleeps in the machine repair factory every day. , It's been a long time since I went back.

Before they got married, Lu Wen didn't understand why in this day and age, parents had to get married, but after all, it was someone else's private matter, and he couldn't interfere.

He asked: "The second city of bionics has begun to accept residents of Mowu City. You can take your family there with you. I have a good relationship with the bionics over there. I can arrange a more comfortable place for you."

Yun Yang hesitated for a while.

He can stay on his own, but his family is a big concern after all.

He said in a deep voice, "Alright, that's troublesome."

The young man chose to stay in Mou City until the end of the war.

Lu Wen arranged for his family to fly to the second city that day.

...

The war went on like this for more than a month.

The time came to December twenty-fourth.

Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve night.

When the stars light up and the snow falls.

Two more areas in succession stopped the war.
