Chapter 216: Martin
The person who came looked very young, about twenty.
He wears a brown cowboy hat with a scarf around his neck, a gray-blue shirt with a waistcoat, gray jeans, martin boots, and a belt pinned to his belt, a rifle butt, and a dagger.
Along the way, the wind and dust are served.
There were more chapped marks on his originally handsome and resolute face.
From the north to here, even if you travel in a straight line without sleep, you can't do it for half a month, not to mention that you have to avoid the extreme weather that you may encounter at any time.
The roads in the no-man's land are so bad that the speed cannot be increased, and the car often breaks down.
"My name is Martin, I'm from Eden, and it's a pleasure to meet you."
The young man named Martin smiled and stretched out his hand, his slightly curly black hair drifting slowly in the wind and sand of no man's land, and his eyes were yellowish.
He was followed by two special androids of different models.
Ma Bo noticed that this man named Martin had three-dimensional facial features and was a mixed-race child.
Very few people in general customize this type of android.
"My name is Ma Bo, and we still have the same last name, so I'm very happy...... You're not an android? Ma Bo was stunned, and when the two shook hands, he didn't feel any data flowing.
The androids sent by Eden can't even have the function of contact transmission.
Even if Martin doesn't, Marbo does.
He wanted to transmit some friendly data, but found that Martin simply couldn't receive it.
The young man standing across from him was not a machine, but a human being of flesh and blood.
"To be exact, my last name is actually Brown, and my first name is Martin." Martin smiled and said, "But there is a long list of names in the middle, including the names of the ancestors who have had great events in the last eighteen generations of my ancestors, and even the word Eden." ”
Martin said he had once been caught in the northern city of Kerry.
The local executive read his name for a full minute and a half.
"Why did Eden allow humans to exist?" Marbo asked.
"Sit down, do you have any water here? I'm almost out of supplies in the car, and I'm a little thirsty now, but it's better for these two guys behind me to go without eating or drinking for the rest of my life. Martin smiled and spoke.
His smile and voice are contagious, and it makes it easy to feel trusted.
Ma Bo noticed that the young man's lips were already chapped and seemed to be thirsty.
Androids don't have to worry about these problems in no man's land.
Luckily, they had some food and fresh water in stock.
Martin was invited into a makeshift tent, and the androids brought fresh water and fresh fruit, as well as some dried fruit and dried meat.
He just drank some water and moistened his lips and throat.
"Originally, there were two cars, and these two guys drove one each." Martin pointed to the two androids behind him, "One of the cars was full of supplies, but when I came, I encountered quicksand, and the car got stuck in it, and this guy was lucky, it just so happened that my car had some planks on it, and threw it on the quicksand, giving him a life passage." ”
Martin said it was a horrible quicksand.
Quite strong suction.
It didn't take long for the car to be swallowed up, and they didn't even have time to try to pull it out with another car.
"By the way, if you doubt my identity, I think this thing can reassure you."
Martin removes a bullet casing pendant from his neck.
The bullet casings have a bronze sheen and a mechanical face engraved on them.
This is the passage of Eden, Duan Tiannan once gave him to Lu Wen, and now Lu Wen still keeps it, but in his third body, he went to Central City with Xia Chuluo.
Naturally, Marbo knew the Eden Token.
This thing can't be faked.
The mechanical face on it is not just a simple notch, but also has a tiny chip embedded in it for identification.
Of course, it is not excluded that someone killed the people of Eden and took the passage talisman from them.
"You must be wondering if I'm going to kill the people of Eden and take their passes." Martin looked at him with a smile, "Well, you shake hands with these two guys and everything will be clear." ”
The two who came with him were androids.
After Ma Bo shook hands with the two androids, he got the identity information they had sent him, and finally determined the identity of the trio in front of him.
"There are a lot of humans in Eden?"
Ma Bo is still that doubt.
Eden is known as the dawn of the androids, and on the day the city was founded, many androids cheered as the sun rose in the north.
But then some gossip came out.
It is said that the founder of Eden was actually a human being.
As for the reason, it is also very simple.
The androids in the north felt that they didn't have enough brains and were prone to disadvantage when communicating with the human council, so they elected a human-friendly human as their leader.
"There aren't too many humans in Eden, there are some android couples who have adopted human babies, and the economy of the two northern cities is actually not very good."
Martin briefly described the inside of Eden.
Thousands of androids inhabit the city, and every day they come to find an entrance to the underground city.
For more than a decade, they have been reinforcing the underground space and expanding it little by little.
Among them, ventilation measures are a very important project.
Androids may not need oxygen, but humans cannot, and many androids have formed couples and adopted human children in two northern cities.
"On the streets of those two cities, you can often see street children, and the welfare homes are already full, and they can't afford more, but now, many cities are dying, and they are only one step away from collapse."
Martin said he was one of the adopted children himself.
The android who adopted him was originally a housekeeping android, and he also had a name, and the name was with his employer, so the long list of names in the middle of Martin was actually the ancestor of his parents' former employer.
When they grew up, most of them integrated into human society, and held various positions in the two northern cities.
The attitude of the two northern cities towards androids is quite good.
It was also the first to appear on the part of the android councillors.
"Zero came to the north a few years ago, and for a while he was trying to exacerbate the conflict between humans and androids, but in the end it was unsuccessful, and the two sides united to find Zero's underground factory and expel her."
Martin knew everything about the North quite thoroughly.
This completely dispelled the doubts in Ma Bo's heart.
"What is Eden's purpose here?" Marbo asked.
"Of course, I heard that you have formed an alliance and are ready to build a city following Eden's example, so I sent me to rush over non-stop, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late, and you have already finished negotiations." Martin sighed.
"The meaning of Eden...... Shouldn't we build cities? ”
Marbo could hear this in Martin's tone.
The subterranean city wasn't optimistic about them.
"First of all, judging from the comparison of strength and human attitudes, the androids outside Mowu City should not be assembled at all."
Martin was young, but he spoke in a rather sophisticated tone and demeanor.
He said that the situation outside Mou was quite good.
The android organization is scattered in various ruined cities, and humans cannot be wiped out at once, and if they really dare to do it, they will have to face endless attacks and chaos caused by androids with human identities inside.
"You gather together, human beings only need to pull out the rocket artillery regiment and place it dozens of kilometers away, and you can cover the entire city in all directions with rocket rain, I heard that the floating city has developed a rocket artillery of 500 kilometers, and the range of that thing is completely comparable to that of a short-range missile."
Martin said that it was the Floating City that had to suppress the ceiling of weapons firepower.
Now it is still the Floating City that secretly develops weapons.
He even suspected that after the war, the people of Canterlot didn't destroy the huge number of missiles at all, but secretly buried them somewhere.
"Rocket artillery, there are quite a lot of human reserves, which are used to carry out armed raids and artillery coverage, and now there are no signs of war in the nine major cities, who do you say they have so many reserves for?" Martin asked, smiling.
"But we have completed the negotiations and signed the treaty."
"Humanity is hypocritical." Martin said: "After all, I am a human being, so I know quite a lot about human beings, and the treaty is just a piece of paper, if humans want to hit you, do you need a reason?" When the time comes, just make an excuse to say that there are soldiers missing in your city......"
Humans know humans best.
There are many humans in Eden, all of whom were raised by androids themselves, and they later integrated into the society of the two northern cities, learning human knowledge, and analyzing the attitudes of the two cities towards androids from a human perspective.
Perhaps this is why Eden has been around for so long.
"Fighting a war, in fact, is about money, and Baker City, another city in the south, will not dare to fight, because Baker City is too poor, and a war can completely paralyze that city and stop all kinds of welfare guarantees."
Martin tapped on the table.
"But Mowu is different, Mowu was very poor before, but now Mowu is rich, quite rich."
"Eden's idea is to get the androids outside of Mou City back to their former ways and disperse?" Marbo asked.
"Of course not, after all, you've already started."
Martin smiled and pulled out a map he had with him.
Here is a map of the area around the city of Mou.
No man's land is large, vast and inhabited.
In comparison, the city of Mou is very small.
"Fiction, truth, and falsehood, this is the favorite routine of human beings, one set on the surface and one on the back." Martin circled the coordinates of the city on the map.
Immediately, he made an extension of the city and drew a line.
The line slowly headed further south into the no-man's land.
Farther away, he circled a white clearing.
That place was covered in snow and ice.
"Now that this city is being built for human beings, you can have a more hidden city."
