Baker City.

The soft morning light brought the dawn and ended the night of fighting.

The gunshots gradually became less and less.

Shops along the street opened their doors one after another to welcome customers.

Lu Wen's transformation is finally over.

The new body is heavier than ever, a lot of parts have been added, and the firepower is guaranteed.

He stood in front of the mirror, and the contour of his face had changed a lot, and it was no longer the public face he used to be.

"Doctor, you're actually a good-looking party." Yin June said loudly.

"What do you mean by 'too'?" Dr. Jiang asked.

"Nothing...... Don't forget my little spider. ”

“……”

Dr. Jiang rested for a while and watched Lu Wen adjust to his new body.

"I added some weapons to the inside of your body, I replaced some useless parts, and my limbs were also replaced, and your previous limbs were all different, which may affect your use."

Lu Wen lowered his head and raised his hands.

Very special feeling.

The previous hands were always a little awkward to use, after all, one was original, and the other was taken from another android.

"I checked your body from the inside out, and there was no problem, and as for the contents of the four chips, I didn't find anything unusual at the moment." Dr. Jiang said.

"It's a real problem."

"It's nothing, it's boring to be idle, it's okay to help you young people."

Dr. Jiang walked up to Lu Wen and patted him on the shoulder.

The shot was heavy.

Quite heavy.

He seems to have something to say, but it's hard to say, so he can only express it in this way.

Lu Wen's heart sank.

There's a problem with the chip!

Dr. Jiang didn't explain it to him directly, could it be because someone had been monitoring his every move through the chip?

Jiang Xiaonian?

But Jiang Xiaonian has been in prison, although he is not in prison these days, he is also in the hospital, and he has been recuperating from his burned face, so it is impossible for him to have access to this kind of thing.

Could it be that he is in order to be released from prison one day in the future so that he can control Lu Wen?

"Don't worry, there are no problems, and the program vulnerabilities that can survive under my nose have not yet appeared."

Dr. Jiang repeated the explanation again.

There is nothing wrong with that.

This made Lu Wen's heart even heavier.

Something is wrong, and the problem has probably been around for a long time.

Dr. Jiang didn't say it, because once he said it, the person who was secretly spying on Lu Wen would know.

He hoped that Lu Wen could grasp the initiative through the information difference between the two sides.

Who did it?

Only people who have had physical contact with him are likely to manipulate the content of the chip.

Lu Wen thought about all the people that this body had come into contact with, there were too many, Jiang Xiaonian, Huang Liang, Xiong Zhuang, the leaders of the two city android organizations......

Everyone's suspicion cannot be ruled out.

"Lu Wen, your little spider is quite strange, a product of Xinhong Company, lend me to study it." Dr. Jiang said with a smile.

"No problem, Doctor, you can use it."

Lu Wen tried to behave normally as much as possible.

"Can you use this spider as an eye and see what it sees?" Dr. Jiang asked.

"Yes."

Lu Wen nodded.

He suddenly reacted, and Dr. Jiang was still reminding him.

The one who is in the shadows can see through his eyes, see everything he sees, know what he is going through.

"However, this technology is actually not very safe, if this spider is caught by someone with a heart, it is very likely to set other trap programs to let it get out of control and eat its own owner."

Dr. Jiang's words seemed to be telling Lu Wen.

He made a program in Lu Wen's body that could be reversed, so that Lu Wen's body could get out of control.

But how do you start this program?

"In addition to using this spider as an eye, you can also directly control the spider's actions and read all the data in its chip, right?"

Dr. Jiang's words made Lu Wen more and more frightened.

He's like that spider, and the people in the shadows can even control his actions at any time, making him do things that go against his own ideas.

But......

With the second set of control systems implanted by Yin Long in the emotional chip, he should not be completely controlled.

At the beginning, Jiang Xiaonian also wanted to control Lu Wen, but he failed.

"Don't worry, I won't destroy your spider, just study it and make a similar one to defend June."

Dr. Jiang didn't say anything more.

He got busy, studying the spider's inner workings.

Lu Wen sat not far away, habitually calm.

From the beginning of obtaining this body, he had been vigilant, worried that there were things left by Jiang Xiaonian in it, but later he became more and more accustomed to using it, and he was negligent.

"Jiang Xiaonian is the most likely, but if it were him, he would have told me on the way back to prison last time, looking at his appearance, he didn't have much heart to change the world."

There are many things, and now Lu Wen can only think about them in his heart.

The four chips must not be left with any clues.

"Huang Liang is my most trusted, he is Yin Long's eighth chip, and he is from the same source as me, but he is very miserable, he shouldn't have the ability to implant content in my chip, unless he deceives me......"

To keep Dr. Jiang silent, he can only remind Lu Wen through special methods.

The one in the dark, very strong.

Does he want something from Lu Wen?

"Don't worry too much, I'm not going to break you spider." Dr. Jiang said suddenly.

Do not worry......

These four words show that Dr. Jiang has a certain degree of certainty in dealing with the person in secret.

But it may be that the time has not yet come, so he can only appease Lu Wen now.

It's useless to think so much now, since Dr. Jiang has said don't worry, let's take one step at a time.

No matter who did it, he couldn't completely control Lu Wen after all.

Unless that person can crack the second system that Yin Long left behind.

But Yin Long made it very clear in the image he left before he died that no one in this world should be able to crack the system he left behind.

Dr. Jiang's research on spiders continued until noon.

"It's okay, there's nothing wrong with your spider, it's clean, I'm worried that it's being tampered with." Dr. Jiang assembled the spider and returned it to Lu Wen.

"Don't worry about June, I'll make one for you right away."

Dr. Jiang's words reminded Lu Wen.

This spider has been following him for a long time.

The body of No. 9 subdued Xiong Zhuang's organization when he first entered the no-man's land, and that organization only had more than a dozen people, and was later provoked by another organization, and this spider was that organization.

The most likely person to do something to him is this spider.

But judging by Dr. Jiang's tone, the spider was clean.

More than two hours passed.

Dr. Jiang made a mechanical spider, almost identical to Lu Wen's, except that his eyes flashed with blue light.

"Alright, June, let's connect with your little pet." He threw the spider to Yin June.

The process of establishing a connection is quick.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon.

The group of three left the institute.

Lu Wen and Yin June both had a spider on their shoulders.

They were going to go to the coordinates that Dr. Jiang had obtained yesterday, where the main body of Zero was located.

"Doctor, is that far away?" Yin June asked.

"It's not too far, just drive out of the city, and drive for more than two hours in the no-man's land, Lu Wen, I'll give you the coordinates, you can drive...... The coordinates of Eden in the north will also be given to you, so that you can find it later. ”

Dr. Jiang gave Lu Wen two coordinates.

One is close, the other is quite far away.

An hour later, Lu Wen drove out of the city.

The billowing sand of the no-man's land came in front of you and slapped against the windshield.

Dr. Jiang sat in the back seat, looking out the window, his eyes far-reaching, as if he was remembering something.

Yin June sat in the co-pilot and kept urging Lu Wen, saying that the speed was too slow.

"No-man's land driving safety first, you were smuggled from the no-man's land at the beginning, you should understand such a simple truth."

The sun in the sky was a little white, probably blocked by smoke and dust.

The target location is a ruined city.

A very remote city.

Further south in Baker City.

Middle of nowhere.

A no-man's land that even androids won't go to.

The dry grass vines fluttered in the wind with the yellow sand, and Lu Wen saw the city from afar.

Perhaps because of the topography, the city is not too much buried by wind and sand, and even the asphalt road in and out of the city can be clearly identified.

"I've been to a lot of abandoned cities, and most of the roads have been buried half a meter deep in sand, and the city is fairly well preserved." Lu Wen said to the two people in the car.

He drove into the city.

As soon as you enter, you will find that the city is different.

"Dust...... The dust from the shops along the street was not serious, and it seemed that people frequented it. ”

After driving in the city for a while, Lu Wen parked the car on the side of the road.

After all, it was the place where Zero's main body was, and he was worried that it would be dangerous.

"Doctor, you and June are sitting in the car, and I'll take a look on the side of the street." Lu Wen said.

"Don't worry, there won't be any danger." Dr. Jiang is sure.

But after all, there are no absolutes.

At the beginning, the fourth-generation Vasily was sniped by Lu Wen in a deserted city.

In such an abandoned city, in the shadows that cannot be seen, any danger is possible.

"Smack!"

Lu Wen closed the car door and slowly walked towards a shop along the street.

It was a small supermarket.

The plaque on the top of the supermarket has gone through 80 years and has not fallen, but the words on it are no longer legible.

Lu Wen stood in front of the door, stretched out his hands, and slowly pushed them open.

"Squeak......

There is very little dust falling from the cracks in the door.

The dust marks on the cash register are very heavy.

【Footprints】

【Unknown Footprints】

There was also a lot of dust on the ground, which was covered with footprints.

The same kind of footprints.

But the system doesn't recognize it.

This is not one of the creatures that have been recorded so far.

"On the street outside, the footprints disappeared quickly because the wind and sand were blowing, but inside the supermarket was different."

Lu Wen slowly squatted down and carefully observed those footprints.

It's not too big, not much bigger than a human baby's footprints.

"It's the same footprints, and there's always been a creature moving in this city."

Lu Wen walked into the supermarket.

As if to confirm his suspicions, all the food in the supermarket was gone.

Eighty years...... Even if this food had been left, it would have rotted long ago.

Even canned food is long gone.

Lu Wen walked out of the supermarket after observing it for a while.

"The doors of the shops along the street are relatively clean, and there are often creatures coming in and out."

He walked into a few more shops, and the scene inside was similar to the inside of a small supermarket.

The same footprints.

Some of these 80-year-old shops were food stores, pet stores, and toy stores.

Without exception, nothing was found to be edible.

Seems...... Everything the city could eat, was taken by the creature.

"It's interesting to visit a toy store more than 80 years ago, when technology was so advanced that you could see this kind of smart toy in street stores."

On the shelves of toy stores, plush toys make up the majority.

But it's basically in tatters.

Just shoot it and it's thick dust.

There are also some special toys.

It's not like a toy, it's more like a little robot.

"It's quite expensive."

Lu Wen wiped the dust of the price signs on the shelves.

Five-figure price.

Even more than eighty years ago, when there was extreme prosperity, this was not a small amount.

The more expensive ones even sold for six figures.

"It's so expensive, will anyone really buy it?"

Lu Wen came to the innermost shelf.

It was a row of black robots.

Less than a meter tall.

The reason why it is so expensive seems to be co-branded with a movie called "Sky Men" back then, and many children like the Robocop in the movie.

But it's so old that there's not much information left about the movie.

"The feet of this robot...... It seems to match the footprints on the ground. ”

Lu Wen took a robot and placed it on the ground.

【Footprints】

【Unknown Footprints】

【Matching......

【From the same creature】

Lu Wen mentioned this little black robot.

Eighty years later, can this robot still drive?

"This charging socket...... Seems like I can match. ”

Lu Wen stretched out his right hand, and the bionic material on his two fingers slowly retreated, revealing the metal support inside.

The metal supports are also fading.

Eventually, it turned into two hollow metal bodies.

Lu Wen put his two fingers as if inside the charging port of this little black robot.

A few minutes later.

The little robot actually reacted.

The screen on the head shows that it is charging.

Lu Wen pressed and held the switch on the top of the robot's head.

With a shudder.

It's turned on.

"Sky Combat, Zero, keep you safe at all times!"

……

Good night, book friends!
