The dimly lit parliament building.

Lights flickering.

Although it was the end of August, the air was a little cold.

The gunfire and artillery fire had stopped, which should have been good news, but everyone in the room was in no mood to laugh.

The leaders of West, who mistakenly believed many years ago that there would be no more large-scale wars in the world, decided to cut some of the army's expenditures in the context of the economic downturn, and over the years, they have repeatedly cut the current situation.

No one is now investigating whether the person who made the decision to cut expenses in the first place was an undercover agent or an underground native, anyway, it is already like this.

"Crunch ......"

The heavy door to the chamber was pushed open.

Dust falls.

Bright light streamed in from outside the door, lighting up the dimly lit hall.

Outside the door was the sound of neat footsteps.

A group of old nobles and members of the royal family walked into the council chamber surrounded Her Majesty the current Queen.

Many of the West's top executives present were in mixed moods, they seemed to have seen the industrial age hundreds of years ago, or even earlier, when the royal power was above all things.

"Your Majesty, are you willing to be puppets of androids for the sake of power?"

Someone at the scene asked such a prickly sentence.

Due to some gaps in thinking, androids can't better manage humans, so Northern Eden needs to invite Old Man Constantine to go.

The same is true of the situation at hand.

Lu Wen needed a high-level organization that was a mix of humans and androids to manage the second android city on the ground for him.

In the face of some people's questioning, old Russell stood up, straightened his back, glanced coldly at the person who asked the question, and replied for the queen: "Not for power, but for the people of West, take back your disgusting idea of fighting for power." ”

A transfer of power was complete.

Other cities sent congratulatory messages.

The crisis in Westster City has been lifted for the time being, and the people have a safe place to go, which is still managed by humans, so no one sees this twilight raid as a declaration of war by androids against humanity.

The transfer of people began on the same night.

When the residents of Westster City heard that there was a safe city, they dragged their families and waited at various airports under the protection of the android army.

There were several dwarven attacks on the way, and they were all beaten back.

"These dwarfs are very difficult to deal with, they are divided into large and small teams, hiding in all corners of the city, even in the sewers, and they are dedicated to hunting our unarmed residents, and if they can't beat them, they can run."

"The terrain of the ruins of the city is complex, and it has been ...... for two weeks"

West's ground command is exchanging experiences with the androids.

Everything is in order.

The transfer could last for months, from the initial congestion to the later fragmentation, and the android leaders who came to Westster City were ready to stay for a long time.

Meanwhile.

Lu Wen is discussing the most important thing at the moment with a group of royal family members.

【Money】

Although Westster City is so dilapidated, he believes that the city still has some heritage, and every member of the royal family or old nobles who can survive until now should have some kind of ......

Not long after, boxes of gold and silver treasures took off from West, and were transported to Mowu City and other cities that were relatively peaceful in exchange for supplies.

Lu Wen also sent messages to the other seven cities except Versailles, saying that the refugees had begun to move to the second city of androids one after another.

The implication.

[Humanitarian aid can be sent]

It's free, you can save as much as you want, even if it's just a tent.

Old Russell sat by the window of the council hall, his dry hand stiffly grasping the wooden staff, and said to Lu Wen: "Nine, the way you calculate the money, it looks more cunning than usual. ”

"It's called thrifty housekeeping."

"Is it complicated?"

"I deal with a huge amount of data every day, including the flow of funds, the whereabouts of materials, the arrangement of personnel, etc., down to every penny and everyone's residence...... All of this, if it were a normal person to deal with, would have gone crazy a long time ago. ”

Old Russell smiled: "Humans are social animals, and the first thing to do when dealing with this kind of thing is to form a team." ”

"I also have a team, but they are all a little bit uncomfortable, so I need to calculate everything myself."

……

Continental Center.

Canterlot.

The situation in the city is acceptable.

The residents of the original Floating City have now elected a new regional leader, who is none other than the former archdeacon Luo Xunfeng.

And Luo Xunfeng found Wu Yu as soon as he set up the team.

Two young men who can be called geniuses get together.

Their small teams supported each other with Canterlot's leadership, with some remaining in the city to move the populace underground or to other safety, and the other at the edge of the city fending off the mechanical soldiers.

Everything is working fine at the moment.

"There hasn't been any movement in the city in the sky, and in the past two weeks, only those robots have launched tentative attacks on us, and their penetration into the city is much smaller than that of other cities."

"Every robot we catch has a self-destruct program in its body, and there is no way to read any information from them, and whoever created or improved the race has a natural distrust of machines."

Canterlot can only get news from other cities.

The mechs on the ground pose less of a threat to the city, and the real threat comes from above.

Canterlot had previously been ruled by the sky, and many of its residents had grown up in the shadows.

Luo Xunfeng looked up at the huge land in the sky, his young face was a little more tired and scarred, he had grown up very quickly during this time.

"What do you think?" He asked Kure, who was beside him.

"We're definitely going to win."

Wu Yu is still that confident character.

The hardships of these days have not worn away the vigor and enthusiasm of his youth.

He added: "But it will come at a great cost. ”

"Yes...... Luo Xunfeng sighed, "I chose to start a war in the city instead of facing off against the two armies from afar, the principals of the other side obviously have no confidence and want to force us to negotiate peace and let their race have a place on the ground, but now two weeks have passed, and there is still no movement on the other side." ”

As the two talked, gunshots rang out in the city.

These mechs are as flexible as flesh creatures, and they are extremely defensive on the surface, so they don't know pain, and they are quite troublesome to deal with.

A robot lurking in the ruins saw the time and jumped up while the two were distracted.

The tall figure is also more conspicuous in the dark.

The sword light flickered, cold and cold.

His target is Kureha.

But Wu Yu just raised his hand and shot it.

"Bang!"

The bullet pierces through the steel eyebrows.

Under the thick night, in the ruins of the city, there was another steel corpse.

"He just tried to sneak up on me with a knife, indicating that he had run out of bullets in his body, and he didn't find any other firearms in the ruins of the city."

Even if the competition is consumed, the underground world cannot compete with the ground city.

This is the home of the ground after all.

Therefore, everyone knows very well that the first to propose peace negotiations must be the leaders of these strange races underground.

It's just a matter of time.

Everyone is waiting for the day when the time comes.

It could be a week, a month, or even half a year......

……

Above Canterlot.

Suspended high-rise world.

The command center of this underground race is still brightly lit at the moment.

There was no gunfire, and it was bustling.

The ground city was very restrained and did not make a move here, because the time was not yet ripe to find out the true strength of this floating land, and making a move now would only lead to greater chaos.

As for the upper world here.

Without news of Yin Long and the leaders of the other two companies, all the residents had to continue their lives.

Two weeks ago.

After the failure of the tripartite talks due to the 'coming of heaven', the leaders of the three companies never appeared in public again.

Even Yin Long, who has appeared most frequently, has not heard any news in the past two weeks.

Public opinion is slowly fermenting.

"Why does it feel like Mr. Yin Long has disappeared?"

"It's too quiet, it's not normal, the lower races of the Middle World, and the untouchables of the mixed zone, have been at war with the damned invaders on the ground for two weeks."

The pure human race of the upper world enjoyed two weeks of sunshine.

Also worried about the outcome of the two-week war.

They had been ready to go to war two weeks earlier, but the leaders of the three companies had not made any arrangements for them.

"I've heard that every company has more than 200,000 humanoid mechanical troops in their hands, and that's our killer weapon."

"But after all, those are just machines, machines are not credible, let's make plans early, practice more firearms skills in the past few days, and grasp the future fate in our own hands......"

The current situation is actually quite strange.

Many people underneath and above ground are wondering.

A war of this magnitude.

As the launching party, the underground has not yet had a unified organizer, and the various races are fighting independently, very scattered, and there is not even a little support for each other.

The high-level world, which has the most powerful force and technology, has not yet moved, and has cut off ties with other races, and only a very small number of high-level people can know about the current state of the war.

"A real all-out war should be all mobilized and propagated as much as possible."

"But looking at our peaceful life now, it feels like those three have no intention of winning this war at all......"

There are smart people who smell something.

The bustling high-level world life seems to announce defeat and surrender at some point in the future.

Some high-level world experts who have studied the war more thoroughly have already predicted the humiliating peace talks in the future, and have publicized it through certain news media.

As a result, there are more and more public opinions pressing on the heads of the three companies.

The general public does not want the underworld to fail again and be driven back underground.

They have seen the light.

Even if you die, you will die in the light.

Lu Wen and RA are also on the phone.

"What has Yin Long been doing lately?"

"I don't know, I didn't get any news during the time I planted in Haoyue's manpower, after that day, that old guy seemed to have disappeared from the world, and he didn't show up for two weeks, and all the arrangements were ordered online."

Even RA can't get any record from Yin Long.

The old guy evaporated.

But the high-level world is so big, Yin Long can't go to the sky, right?

Heaven......

Lu Wen was suddenly stunned, thought of something, and immediately asked, "Does Haoyue have an aviation department?" Has the high-rise world secretly carried out the space station plan on the surface over the years? ”

The last time he was outside Li Meng's villa, Yin Long's mechanical body said that he had obtained information from the early days of Baker City, such as the 'Ant Soldier'.

In the early days of Baker City, there were also plans such as 'Super Soldiers' and 'Space Wars'.

Yin Long, that old guy probably took the early technology and machinery of the entire Baker City.

RA immediately understood what Lu Wen meant, and replied: "No, at least Haoyue doesn't have anything about space on his face, definitely not before, after Yin Long took charge of Haoyue, the biggest action is to mass-produce humanoid machinery and form an army of humanoid machines that can resist strong electromagnetic interference." ”

Haoyue is exploding, and batches of fifty good brothers have walked out of the production line one after another.

All three companies have humanoid mechic armies, but Haoyue has the most.

Gu RA's informant in Haoyue said that it is very likely to exceed 400,000.

Lu Wen has personally experienced the power of these machines, which are more capable of fighting than the military androids on the ground, and each one is a machine that is born to kill.

"In this war, the underground will definitely lose, and when the peace talks fail, I will throw out all the underground truths and Yin Long's true identity."

Lu Wen expects that the war may last for half a year.

Half a year of integration is enough for all the information to circulate.

The races in the underground will gradually realize that history is not what they have always known.

And after these cruel years for half a year.

The hatred in the hearts of these ground creatures will also fade a lot, and it will be replaced by exhaustion.

At this time, Lu Wen released the truth and said that they could stay on the ground from now on to live, and there must be many people who are willing to believe it.

"The moment the war ends, Yin Long will be ruined, this old guy must understand this, so the war is just a means for him to delay time, he is trying to find a way to counteract or escape, as long as his true body is not found, he has a way to continue to do things by controlling the mechanical body."

Lu Wen was already tired of this old guy's golden cicada's method of shedding his shell.

He didn't want to go through hardships again and again, and the final solution was just a mechanical body of Yin Long.

In any case, Yin Long must be completely eliminated this time.

……

Time passed little by little.

Another month passed in the blink of an eye.

Late September.

The weather is still hot.

Since Lu Wen turned on the machine, he has rarely had such a long-term repetitive life.

Three lines are operated every day.

Manage the stars in the high-level world, take in refugees in no-man's land, and take on mixed zone teams and evacuate civilians in Mou City.

It's a very fulfilling life.

Full and monotonous.

The sound of gunfire in my ears was incessant, and the smoke of gunfire filled the air all day long.

The protracted and brutal nature of the war exceeded many people's expectations.

The city of Versailles also applied for a refugee transfer not long ago, so the residents of the two western cities have been transferred to the second city of androids.

Just when Lu Wen thought that this life would last until the end of the war, Canterlot suddenly sent a message asking for help to all cities.

【Cataclysm】

These two words are used in the message for help, indicating that the situation is quite serious.

It was a small hidden danger that Lu Wen ignored.

Not far from the central city, there is a ruined city where the nuclear pollution has not yet dissipated, and there are some mutated animals and plants in the city, as well as genetic monsters made by Haoyue researchers who have nothing to do.

In fact, in many ruined cities in the no-man's land, there are genetic species that are randomly made out by the senior scientific researchers of the three companies underground, such as the luminescent creatures that Lu Wen saw in Zero.

However, most of these creatures are just ugly and have no ability to attack or reproduce.

After Lu Wen dominated the stars, he ordered to stop this random genetic programming.

He didn't want to have the mad scientists in the movies under him.

But Lu Wen has always ignored the city, and the strange plants in that city.

"Those seeds floated to Canterlot, blossoming and bearing fruit on the flesh and blood of the human body, spreading extremely quickly......"

Maybe it's an accident, or maybe it's man-made.
