Wang Hu closed the door expressionlessly and sat back on the sofa in a daze.

Those memories from ten years ago are in my heart! Maybe those memories were never forgotten.

Of course, he remembered that he was Wang Hu - not the Wang Tiger who robbed his relatives, or Wang Hu, the 1976th clone of General Wang Hu. Number X43470Z3T500001976, the synthesizer Wang Hu who belongs to the fourth war zone of the Zebei Star District.

When the hydrogen bomb fell, he was indeed dead, and he was remembered clearly—because even at the last moment, the formatted brain faithfully recorded the whole process of the body being set on fire to ashes.

The reason why Wang Hu is still alive is because at the moment when the hydrogen bomb exploded, he awakened the third ability in addition to "hyperlink" and "tactical rehearsal......

It stands to reason that synths can't advance or awaken new abilities, that's the law; It also stands to reason that Level 3 abilities should be "3" regardless of the strength or number of abilities.

However, there is something special about the clones of General Wang Hu's type, although the strength of the synthesized can reach level three, but the number has always been two. Thousands of cases have been made, without exception...... Until the "Hydra" hydrogen bomb exploded above Wang Hu's head!

At that moment, Wang Hu's body burned and devoured most of the energy of the hydrogen bomb's air explosion, and then lit up the third ability, "Aye aye".

"Aye aye" is a naval term that means "to obey orders", and is mostly used to respond to subordinates after a superior issues an order; In the second scenario, when the captain boarded the ship, the soldiers who welcomed him in line could also say this word, so it also had the meaning of "captain boarding"; The third meaning is "unquestionable rule", authoritarianism.

As for this ability, Wang Hu still hasn't been able to figure out what it means, as it becomes "unusable" after it is activated once. But Wang Hu will definitely not be the third type, after all, the third-level difference is not strong, Wang Hu was created to position himself as "the captain of a team that manages 15-30 people", and authoritarianism is too ridiculous.

The ability "Aye aye" is automatically lit and activated, and then hypoxia, ischemia, strong radiation, etc., make Wang Hu fall into a coma of automatic protection.

He thought he would be reclaimed by the Republic, but when he woke up, he found himself lying in the Eastern European woods of the Earth.

The body is intact, and nothing is known about what happened in the process.

Through the gap in the woods, he could see the delicate town on the opposite hillside, which was so densely populated that he might wake up later and be taken to the hospital.

After waking up, Wang Hu examined himself and found that in addition to the formatted brain retention, the ability was also retained. However, his original synthetic body was completely destroyed by the hydrogen bomb, and the industrial organs that once filled his body such as sensors, metal nerves, braided muscles, plastic bones, and stab-resistant cut skin were dissipated - but he was cloned into a normal body that looked exactly like the past.

There is no major disease immune genetic adjustment, and this cloning technique looks quite ancient...... Fortunately, Wang Hu doesn't need that anymore, his dream when he was serving was to be an ordinary person, and now the dream seems to be close at hand.

The "hyperlink" is also incapable of feeling the Republic's host, and theoretically the current location is beyond the limit distance of the "hyperlink" from the capital star - and the Republic's actual control is far from that extent. In other words, his current location is thousands of rivers away from the capital star. Such a long distance cut off all possibility of being recovered.

As for the "There is a new communication request, is it accessible?" that has been flashing in the corner of his eyes since he woke up? ”

It's a communication link from the local host, just ignore it......

*****

The process by which Wang Hu obtained his status in Europe sounds a little incredible.

At that time, Europe was facing the impact of the refugee influx, and Wang Hu walked into Germany with the refugees pouring in from Turkey. At that time, the situation in the refugee camp was very chaotic, and there was no way to verify the background information, and there were many refugees with beards and beards who said that they were underage.

Wang Hu was also mixed in the refugee group, and it didn't take much effort to rely on the relaxed immigration policy of "Mother Mo" to easily get a temporary visa.

Instead of waiting for the government to pay him in the camp, as everyone else did, he left alone and disappeared into the crowd.

After leaving the camp, he worked in several cities before arriving in Frankfurt, one of Germany's industrial centers. Here, he first worked as a black worker, carrying goods, and then gradually became a truck driver for a regular transportation company, and later even made a lot of fame in this industry. Formal work visas and various documents are readily available, and most of them are handled by the company where they work.

After having a little wealth, Wang Hu went back and improved his "domestic" information step by step, and the compilation was rigorous, orderly, and seamless.

Just looking at the computer, no one dares to say that he is not indigenous to the earth.

……

The communication request from the local host, whom he had ignored, had been harassed for a full year from the day he arrived, and it seemed to understand what he meant, and then suddenly disappeared as it had suddenly appeared.

But just now, it reappeared, and specially asked the Zhang Tan brothers and sisters to come to the door to remind them to "answer the phone".

To accept, or not to accept?

That's a problem......

Wang Hu hesitated, unable to make a decision.

Just as he was looking out the window in a daze, his phone suddenly rang. Wang Hu swiped the screen and saw a text message from an unknown person.

"You have 28 days left in your life, so why give up now? Please contact me if you figure it out, well-known is not. ”

Figured it out, can I figure it out?

Wang Hu was at a loss.

The lifespan of the synth is only 20 years, and the first 10 years are used for service.

Because the mode of interstellar warfare determines that the time for each expedition will not be short. The short is two or three years, and the long one is more than ten years. Before each fleet leaves, it receives hundreds of "tactical objectives" that need to be completed on the journey.

In this case, the grassroots personnel can take turns by transferring consciousness and cloning their bodies, but the grassroots team leader must remain stable - this is the role that synths such as Wang Hu need to play.

After 10 years, if they are still alive and make it back, the synth will receive 10 years of vacation. Receive a small amount of retirement money, choose a remote planet to live incognito, and live as an ordinary person. In addition to not allowing procreation (marriage), such as voting, religious beliefs, passage, self-defense...... All civil rights are exactly the same as those of ordinary people.

Until the end of his life, the corpse was quietly recovered by the relevant staff, and this is the life of a synthetic.

- This is quite fair for the "tools" that are made, and no one owes anyone.

Because there is a precedent for "artificial intelligence" to demand human rights in turn and even lead to revolution. Therefore, after being created and indoctrinated, synths will first ask the question, "Do they live as tools, or do they die for freedom".

Choose the former and sign a contract; Choose the latter and destroy it now!

All agreements are guaranteed by the planetary host and run smoothly under the premise of absolute fairness and justice.

Just like Wang Hu's service period is 11 years, 10 months and 27 days, he originally thought that he only had 8 years, 1 month and 3 days left in his life, but he didn't expect that when he woke up from a coma, he saw that the remaining life was 11 years, 10 months and 27 days - when the two rules of "vacation time and service time are equal" and "synthesizer service life of 20 years" conflicted, he chose the more preferential implementation for Wang Hu.

Even the extent to which this detail has been taken into account, there is really nothing to complain about.

So when he had three months left in his life, Wang Hu chose to put down his work. He threw a party, invited friends he had known over the years, and then told them that he was going back home.

Farewell and reunion in the future, it seems that this is the case, Wang Hu, who is so simple that he is not good at socializing, can also deal with it.

He sold his house and truck, donated most of the money he had saved over the years to Project Hope, and returned to Frankfurt on his own.

Playing online games, eating delicious food, and occasionally walking through the woods, quietly waiting for the final moment to come.

*****

But today you suddenly called me to answer the communication?

I, Wang Hu, have long seen the prosperity of the world - I have drunk alcohol, danced, raced cars, spent a lot of money on things I like, and even had a few friends who love to listen to bad jokes - I have completed this kind of life!

I don't answer the phone! I don't care that there are only 28 days left in my life!

That "human death" system, you think so too, right?

The "Death" system flashed and gave three options:

A, [Decadent] Let's take it, it's better to die than to live, no matter how bad it is, it's not like going back to be a soldier again, just like in the past.

B. [Shrewd] The host must have something to ask me for if he is in such a hurry, and I should be able to bargain to get a better condition.

C. [Ambition] My life is up to me, I will take it first, and then I will have a righteous backstab when the life problem is solved......

Wang Hu blinked, the essence of the three options of the "human death" system is ...... "connection"?

That's what the system provides?

Well, generally speaking, when it comes to considering whether it is beneficial to the individual, the "human" system has an advantage over the synthetic human brain. Do you want to take it...... Then take it? Wang Hu's heart was a little shaken, in fact, he also missed the days of taking "insecticides" - the biggest advantage of being a soldier is that there is not much pressure (you may feel so), and pulling the trigger is very decompressive.

It's not surprising that Wang Hu has this idea, synths were created for war. He is able to play a fish in water on the battlefield and display 100 percent of his talent. Like Wang Hu's "real-time calculus" ability, it is an ability to perform infinite deduction on the battlefield in a very short period of time, and it is useless in real society!

(You can go to gambling or stock trading, but it is illegal, in the entire pan-human world, "fraudulent finance" is prohibited by the host constitution.) ）

Eleven years ago, Wang Hu refused the local host's communication request for fear of being forcibly co-opted by the local host (Wang Hu didn't know if there was such a mechanism). But now he doesn't have to worry about that problem, after all, he only has 28 days left to live, and now it's 27 days, 9 hours and 33 minutes.

Answering the communication and not dying.

Well, this synth man has been struggling around for a long time, and finally connected a loop from the stone and clicked "connect".

……

[Finally.] 】

After Wang Hu connected the communication, he received the first sentence.

Finally what?

Finally got through after you harassed me 28676th? It was really a meaningless word, Wang Hu waited quietly, as if the person who had 28 days left in his life was not him.

After a few minutes of silent competition, the other end of the communication gave up completely.

[You're the most machine-like synth I've ever known...... You win! 】

[This is the 77th river system in Dongtian District, the host N7856758, "Indigo", male! ] 】

[Synth X43470Z3T500001976 Wang Hu, I ask you to register as an exclusive warrior of this console. 】

"I refuse." Wang Hu didn't even think about it, and almost subconsciously rejected the proposal.

[You refuse? Wait a minute...... How can a synth reject a command from a host? It's illogical! 】

"Yes, I just refuse! No logic is needed. ”

After Wang Hu repeated it once, he leaned his body on the back of the sofa relaxedly, and finally figured out what he wanted at this critical moment - freedom.

[I'm not finished yet, sign up for the exclusive warrior of this host, you can get 20 years of lifespan immediately, and the task reward can still get an increase in the upper limit of life, isn't this what you want?] In addition, all bad records in the past will be erased, including hundreds of illegal records such as your armed assault and violation of local laws. They also have the right to move freely within the system...... Wait, the obligation is only to obey the instructions of the host and continue to serve for 10 years! 】

"I still refuse."

[You only have 28 days left!] 】

"I still refuse...... I do want to live a few more years, I do have a gun, but I'm not going back! Wang Hu looked at the air in front of him, and said resolutely - this contract is not how good it is, but it is a copy of the "life and death contract" signed at the beginning.

Not to mention the 20-year lifespan, even the body is the property of the state, and of course the bad record does not exist, because you are a tool man.

As for the freedom of movement of this galaxy, this should be a greatly reduced range - there is only a pan-solar system about 10 light-years away, and there were thousands of river systems, the Milky Way, on the frontier of the Republic!

Wang Hu wants to live, but he doesn't want to live the same as in the past.

I don't want to be sent to a bug nest with a single command, and I don't want to point my gun at someone who doesn't want to kill.

"If that's all there is, I don't think we need to go on. Please hang up the conversation and let me spend my last days quietly. ”

【…… Well, I have another proposal]

[You can register as a Freelancer of the 77th River System in the Eastern Sky District, with limited rights to move within the galaxy, and your lifespan is based on mission completion.] Reward for successful missions, and bear the consequences of failure. Previous violations will also be cancelled, but future violations of the Constitution will be punished. There is no support, no resurrection, and no welfare. 】

[Agreed, or returned to the parent menu?] 】

"No, I'll just choose this, I'm willing to be a freelancer."

[Your relationship with the host has been reduced to "cold"! 】
