Chapter 257: Beacon Fire
Deep black background.
A golden MΓΆbius ring.
The appearance is smooth, flattened and has a special sheen.
"This is the city medal of Mou, and we hope that the two of you will accept it."
Someone from the government sent two medals.
"Honor you deserve." The man smiled and said, "If you are an ordinary person, you can't confront Zhen Yingjie at all, and you may die an unknown death." β
City Medal.
Quite a bonus.
Such a medal has not been awarded for many years.
For so many years, there were no wars, the economy was stable, and there were few major accidents, so these city medals once became rare objects that could only be seen in allusions.
It was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
Lu Wen was still surrounded by a lot of media at this time, and those media wanted to know more details.
Under the witness of everyone, the relevant personnel wore this medal for Lu Wen.
The lights on the scene flickered non-stop.
Wei Bo'an was blocked on the other side, and everyone asked a lot of questions, most of them asking why he didn't show up in the first place.
It took about eight o'clock in the evening for the two to deal with the steady stream of problems.
"Finally got out." Wei Bo'an wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I shouldn't have come down, you have to force me down." β
"Isn't it good to get a city medal?" Lu Wen asked with a smile.
"You can't eat this thing."
Speaking of food, Wei Boan was really hungry.
He's got this physique.
Normally.
Eat four to five meals a day.
Each meal has to be quite nutritious.
But I've been too busy lately, so I've regained the level of three meals a day.
"You go eat by yourself, I still have to pick up someone." Lu Wen said.
"Zhen Yingcai?"
"Hmm."
"Let's go with us, and treat him to dinner."
The situation can be reversed this time, largely thanks to the information given by Zhen Yingcai.
Fortunately, Zhen Yingjie always thought that Wei Boan just wanted to investigate illegal drugs.
If the old man knew from the beginning that Wei Bo'an was going to attack him, then he would definitely arrange for someone to keep his brother under surveillance, or even find a confinement room to lock him up.
That's the advantage of poor information.
Around nine o'clock in the evening.
In the psychiatric hospital, the middle-aged man who had been locked up for many years went through the discharge procedures.
Until now.
His mind was still filled with the words 'unbelievable'.
"Free?"
Zhen Yingcai walked out of the hospital gate.
The outside world that I haven't seen in a long time.
It's still a bustling faction.
The glorious night scene was reflected in his somewhat cloudy eyes.
Vehicles come and go, bringing with them countless earthly atmospheres.
It wasn't until he stood on the soil outside completely that the middle-aged man was finally sure.
It's really free.
"My brother ......"
"The trial hasn't started yet, but it's definitely indefinite, there's no hope of probation, and I'll spend the rest of my life in prison." Lu Wen said.
"Alas...... Still came to this point. β
Blood ties are hard to part with after all.
During his years in the psychiatric hospital, Zhen Yingcai has always hoped that his brother will one day be able to repent and do something for the ordinary people with peace of mind.
"Want something?"
Lu Wen looked at him.
The middle-aged man thought about it, he had been in a mental hospital for too long, and the opportunity to come out was in exchange for his brother's imprisonment.
He was suddenly a little confused at the moment.
Zhen Yingcai walked a few steps on the side of the street and saw a fast food restaurant.
He walked in.
I ordered a fried chicken, a coke, and a fries.
"When I was a child, my family was poor, and these were the things I wanted to eat the most." Zhen Yingjie sighed: "At that time, I always thought that rich people would definitely eat hamburgers and fried chicken every day, and I thought that if I had money in the future, I would eat it every day." β
"It seems that my situation as a child was okay."
Wei Boan recalled for a moment.
"Although my parents died early, the relatives who have always raised me are relatively rich, I often ate this kind of thing when I was a child, and after I was eighteen years old, my parents also inherited the money to me."
He was holding two family buckets.
Take out a fried golden crispy chicken thigh from inside, and the aroma is overflowing.
"Lu Wen, when you were a child...... By the way, you didn't have a child. β
ββ¦β¦β
Lu Wen was speechless for a while.
The previous life that Yin Long compiled for him was actually quite good.
I have lived in the countryside since I was a child and had many playmates when I was a child.
Every day when I come home from school, I walk on the ridge.
The road is lined with the scent of grass.
Later, I was admitted to a very good middle school, and I had the courage to confess when I had someone I liked.
Then I became a programmer.
Every day is a battle for hair.
However, if Yin Long really crossed over, then ......
"Wei Bo'an, do you believe that there are real weird events in this world?" Lu Wen asked suddenly.
"Why do you ask this?"
"It's nothing, just ask."
"This ...... Strange Events...... There are a lot of them in the archives of the Executive Board, and you've certainly seen them, but most of them are artificial, and it's hard to say whether they're real or not. β
Wei Boan was not sure.
He didn't know why Lu Wen suddenly asked about this.
As a highly educated modern person, he doesn't really believe in the gods and ghosts.
"But I've seen weird-looking creatures, and I've been on a mission before, and I've been in a contaminated area before, and the radioactive materials in that city have been lowered to safe levels."
Wei Boan said there was water in that city.
He described some of the scenes.
There were many flesh-like creatures, with no limbs and no facial features, squirming slowly among the ruins.
"I saw weird things happen to my own eyes when I was a kid." Zhen Yingcai said suddenly.
"Really?"
Wei Bo'an was stunned.
"Don't bluff people."
"No, I saw it with my own eyes."
Zhen Yingcai is very sure.
"When I was very young, I saw a floating creature, it looked weird, I couldn't say it clearly, just one glance, I felt a mess in my head, I heard the whispers of countless people, and I felt that the whole person became confused, as if I had arrived in another world."
"That's it?" Wei Bo'an asked, "You watched too many horror stories when you were a child and had nightmares, right?" β
Sometimes people can't tell the difference between dreams and reality.
This kind of thing happens all the time.
It is usually seen in people who have sleep disorders due to stress, fatigue, or have certain mental problems, and these groups need to take some drugs to get peace of mind.
"No, I really felt like my mind was getting more and more confused, not refreshing, like I heard some kind of call...... Until a gunshot pulled me back. β
Zhen Yingjie said that when he woke up, he only saw a bullet casing on the ground.
Brass-colored shells.
There are quite complex lines on the surface of the shell.
"Do you still have that shell?" Lu Wen asked.
"No, then ...... Later, when the family sold scrap, they were sold together. β
The world has recorded quite a few strange events.
It is also in the archives of the Executive Board.
But Lu Wen looked through some and found that many of them had traces of artificiality, but the executive officer in charge at that time didn't pay much attention to it, or it was limited by the conditions of the year.
Yin Long's crossing of this matter has never been explained by the science and technology of this world.
Dr. Jiang was created by Yin Long, and he also said that Yin Long should not have deceived Lu Wen, Yin Long was smart and mature when he was a child, and he didn't look like a child at all.
"You asked this suddenly, it didn't mean that you wanted ...... Find a way to become a human, right? Wei Boan asked.
"Of course not, isn't the endless life of an android uncomfortable?" Lu Wen shrugged his shoulders, "Now that many rich old men outside have pinned their hopes for immortality on the mechanical ascension, why should I come the other way around?" β
Dinner.
The two sent Zhen Yingcai back to his home, and then said goodbye to each other.
This operation against Zhen Yingjie's old guy is actually very dangerous, and if there is a mistake in any link, it will lead to serious problems.
Wei Boan may indeed die.
Lu Wen may also really be slandered and forcibly shut down.
Zhen Yingjie's action efficiency exceeded the imagination of the two.
In fact, according to Wei Bo'an's original plan, the reputation of the two should be improved step by step, evidence should be collected slowly, and from time to time the little geniuses should release some negative news about Zhen Yingjie.
The original plan was the most secure, unknowingly trapping Zhen Yingjie and finally closing the net, and there would not be such an unprecedented meeting this afternoon.
But after seeing those illegal drugs, Wei Boan couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and decided to do it in advance.
"I can finally rest for two days."
Wei Boan drove his new car, humming a song and driving towards his house.
Lu Wen won't be able to rest in the next few days.
There are also many TV shows, commercials, speeches and even charity events waiting for him.
β¦β¦
In a distant no-man's land.
A night that was not quiet.
Around three o'clock in the morning.
The androids of Baker City have discovered the situation.
"Someone, quite a scale."
"It's the three infantry divisions of 02, 11, and 57 in Mowu City, and they have actually come to no man's land."
On the sly.
The army of Mowu City seemed to fall from the sky, slowly surrounding the city in the darkness of the night.
"Tell the large forces behind to stop, now is not the time for a head-on collision, this is just three infantry divisions in the southeast direction, and the strength of Mowu City is more than that!"
The two sides are far apart.
There is no distinction between the front and the rear in modern warfare.
Usually the time is short and the destructive power is quite large.
"The infantry division is not the main force, they should be responsible for encircling and suppressing the androids who escaped." Lu Wen said.
"Nine, what now?"
Everyone looked at Lu Wen.
After all, this is Mowu City, Lu Wen's home stadium.
"Inform our rocket artillery units, be ready to cover with fire at any time, don't hit people, deterrence by force, I don't want this war to escalate completely."
More than ten kilometers away, the final commissioning of all MLRS has begun.
That's a distance that could cover an entire android city.
"Inform the air force formation, they are estimated to be the first to go on the field and pull up all the anti-aircraft guns."
Lu Wen knew that he was facing Gong Liangyu.
That old guy came back from the war years and experienced brutal artillery fire, unlike these leaders and officers now, except for drills are drills.
Both in those days and now.
Air supremacy is very important.
Ground forces need to rely on air support.
If the android army can seize air supremacy and carry out air blockade at the first time, then the reconnaissance, airlift, medical support, and so on of the human forces will be greatly affected.
"Divide the troops, Ark, you take people back to the outside of Mowu City to carry out military deterrence."
