Bionic Era

Bloodstains are really troublesome to deal with.

To make matters worse, the entire second bedroom needed to be remodeled.

Lu Wen tore off the bloody wallpaper and burned them still in the fireplace.

Billowing smoke rose into the sky on this spring night. Fortunately, there are few people around here, and fireplaces are more common, so no one will be suspicious.

As for the blood stains in other places, they need to be cleaned up slowly.

The night passed in a blink of an eye.

The next day, the sun rose.

"Bah—"

Lu Wen opened the curtains in the living room a little, so it didn't look so dark at all.

The world is so advanced in technology that smart homes are not used.

Lu Wen remembered that in his previous life, the whole house was a rice smart home, and he just yelled: love your classmates, open the curtains.

The curtains will slowly open.

He looked at Li Yu who was slowly coming down from the third floor, and said, "I need to pay for permission, the blood on the wall cannot be completely removed, I'm going to the city to buy some wallpaper to cover it."

"No problem, thank you for your hard work!"

Li Yu smiled and took out his mobile phone, and tapped it casually a few times.

At the same time, a message came from Lu Wen's original functional chip.

【Payment permission is open】

【Account: Employer Li Yu】

【Balance: 4913676】

Rich man!

What is this girl's business?

As a mobile Android phone, Lu Wen expressed his sincere emotion.

In my previous life, I was a hairless programmer at least, but the sum of my whole body was not enough for a down payment.

After making two simple breakfasts, Lu Wen was ready to go out.

"Bring the key, don't lose it."

Li Yu put a bunch of keys in Lu Wen's hand and said softly.

Judging only by the appearance, this girl is definitely the cute and gentle type.

But Lu Wen kept the lyrics in mind.

The most fascinating of the most dangerous!

"Do not worry."

Lu Wen opened the door with a smile.

After walking out of the villa and bringing the gate over, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Normal people live in this kind of dark and depressing villa, and they will get sick after staying for a long time!"

as far as the eye can see.

The sky was a little gray, with dark clouds, but there was sunshine anyway.

The morning breeze caressed his hair, and the faint sunlight shone on his body.

Lu Wen really wanted to go away and slip away like this, but he could only think about it.

But until he figured out the circuit breaker, he can't do whatever he wants.

"Wow!"

The old lady's border collie was digging something on the nearby lawn.

A little further away, the old lady was drying clothes in the yard.

Lu Wen called a taxi, but the car hadn't arrived yet.

Out of curiosity for a moment, I walked over to the side shepherd and took a look.

"Isn't this the carp I disposed of yesterday?"

Many dogs have the habit of burying food.

It looks like this border herd regards the carp as its food, and is about to dig a hole to bury the carp and dig it out after a while.

Lu Wen was already wrapped tightly, but the dog's nose is so sensitive.

"Didi—"

The sound of a horn came from the street.

Lu Wen turned around, the taxi had already arrived.

The driver is also a bionic person, the E25 labor service model of the Blue Company, and thousands of E25s have the same face.

Lu Wen is different.

He is custom made and one of a kind!

"Get in the car."

"OK."

Lu Wen opened the door, sat in the passenger seat, and fastened his seat belt.

The vehicle starts.

Through the car window, the world began to slowly recede in his eyes.

The suburbs are plain terrain, stretching as far as the eye can see, surrounded by green lawns, and occasionally some low hills.

On both sides of the road are villas in twos and threes.

After about twenty minutes, the taxi came to the edge of the city.

"Mowu City."

Lu Wen glanced at the street sign on the side of the road.

Towering chimneys rise from the ground one after another, and at the edge of the city, they surround the whole city like pillars supporting the sky.

Smoke billowed.

Lu Wen finally understood why the sky in this world is always gray and gloomy.

The taxi headed for the city center.

There are fewer chimneys.

Gray high-rise buildings stand silently in the somewhat foggy sky, like lonely giants.

Huge colorful neon lights are slightly blurred in the fog.

The dreamlike holographic projection played some kind of advertisement, and the black rigid airship sailed into the distance through the projection.

"Gianlan's new generation of housekeeping bionic E09 can meet most of your daily needs..."

A soft female voice came from a distance.

Eighty years ago, Bilan Company was established.

On the day of its establishment, A01, the first bionic human being to pass the Turing test, appeared in front of the world.

Two weeks later, Xinhong Company was established and launched the first generation of bionics that also passed the Turing test.

The era of red and blue has begun.

Today, bionic people have appeared in all walks of life.

The fifth-generation bionics are almost identical to humans in terms of appearance, touch, and daily communication.

If it weren't for the electronic wristbands on their hands that marked the identity of the bionic person, they could completely blend in with the normal crowd.

"call--"

Several newspapers floated randomly in the dimly lit street.

People wrapped themselves in their clothes and came and went in a hurry.

A scruffy homeless man picked up the newspapers, covered himself with them, and pressed them tightly with both hands, leaning against the corner of the street.

At a glance, the whole street is full of people living on the street like this.

On the big screens in the high-rise buildings on the street, countless pieces of news scrolled and broadcast.

"Crematorium employee pushed into incinerator by android colleague during nap..."

"The federal unemployment rate has reached 28%, and countless people are living on the streets."

"More than 100,000 people marched and demonstrated in front of the parliament, demanding that bionics be banned from engaging in the construction industry and the financial industry..."

"The fifth-generation bionic person E24-0007474741 of Bilan Company has awakened self-awareness, and the circuit breaker has failed. He violated the first principle of bionics, and fled after injuring his employer. The council has sent executive officers to track down his whereabouts."

"..."

The defective rate of the two companies, Bilan and Xinhong, is controlled between 0.05% and 0.07% all the year round.

It is this defective rate of less than 0.1% that causes countless bionic awakening events every year.

Many people are thinking, is the awakened bionic man a wrongly coded AI, or a living body capable of independent thinking?

"Androids took my job and I'm now broke and homeless."

"I need 5 yuan to buy a bottle of beer."

"..."

In front of the homeless man, the distorted words on the cardboard flashed in Lu Wen's eyes one by one.

Many years ago, it wasn't necessarily your peers who beat you.

Now, it doesn't have to be the same kind that beats you.

"boom--!"

A body fell from the sky and hit the dark street.

Blood trickled down the cracks in the floor tiles.

The people who came and went just paused, few of them even looked this way, and then hurried away.

Suicide is nothing new.

Lu Wen was sitting in a taxi, and the sensors in his eyes captured that scene.

It was a man in a suit and leather shoes.

That is a liberated soul.

"When I was a kid, I was happy jumping off three steps."

"When I grow up, I want to start from the thirty floors..."
