"Lu Wen, where did you get the news?"

“A00。”

"Androids can't be trusted."

"I'm android too."

Lu Wen has said this sentence many times.

Most of the people around him will ignore his identity as an android, so he has to remind him again and again.

……

For the city of Mou.

It's a day of city-wide vigilance.

After a night of rioting, many residents returned to their homes.

They received instructions from the Parliament.

"Our army has entered the city, soldiers have begun to patrol the city roads, please believe the council, we are strong enough to protect every citizen."

"A large number of androids are missing, please stay at home and do not go out."

"If you have a problem......

The arrangement of the council was a relief for everyone.

Last night's killing was like a hellish nightmare, and no one wanted to experience it a second time.

But there are also people who have doubts in their hearts.

Where have all the androids in Mowu City gone?

If they all go to no man's land, then the huge number should be captured.

There is only one possibility for such a silent disappearance......

They're still there.

Maybe it's in the shadow of a street corner, under a manhole cover, in the ventilation duct of a shopping mall......

There is a very important factor in horror movies.

The unseen is often the most terrifying.

Possessing physical ghosts will gradually make the audience get used to it, after all, the audience can't experience the feeling of being there, but the fear of not seeing, such as the creaking attic, the slowly opening door, the curtains that move without wind......

These things can arouse the ghosts in the hearts of the audience.

"Don't go out, maybe those bloodthirsty androids are waiting for us at the door."

"Let's hope our army can get rid of those things sooner, I'll never order androids again."

“……”

Such exchanges occur in thousands of households.

Parliamentary propaganda and the fear of the disappearance of androids.

Succeeded in keeping the residents of Mou at home.

The same is true for Canterlot, Baker, and West......

All over the world, such measures have been taken.

The current situation is more serious than the zombie outbreak, most of the zombies are slow and dull, but androids have always been synonymous with agility and high intelligence, advanced machines, and this is designed so that they can better protect humans.

A thin man stood in front of his bedroom window.

His house is on the second floor, facing the street.

You can clearly see the dilapidated streets outside, and there are still dried blood and burning marks on the streets, all in ruins.

The shops along the street have also closed or been destroyed by external forces.

Soldiers on patrol are alternating by.

"I wish those damn androids were wiped out."

The thin man is one of the most extreme anti-android forces.

He has contributed to several large-scale demonstrations before.

"These machines are rubbish, broken copper and iron...... Don't hide, come out, come out and fight those GIs, the more deaths the better......"

He kept babbling.

Hopefully, the androids who have been hiding will immediately show up and engage the patrolling soldiers.

As for the death or wounding of the soldiers, he didn't care, and it wasn't him who died anyway.

"Boom...... Boom......"

A strange sound suddenly sounded.

It looked like white bones were shaking, and it was like old worn-out planks wailing.

It occurs every few seconds.

The thin man quickly realized that the voice was coming from behind him.

He turned.

The voice is clearer.

"Living room?"

He didn't have a good ear and had a problem in an explosion in his early years.

After stepping out of the bedroom, he first checked around the living room.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

The house was empty.

He seems to be the only living creature.

There are no mice under the sofa, the old wooden TV cabinet that carries the old TV does not make a sound, and many old objects in the living room are normal.

He then inspected the kitchen, study, bathroom, and other bedrooms one by one.

Everything is normal.

It was as if the sound came out of nowhere.

"Boom...... Gurg...... Boom......"

The voice still rings in my ears.

Sounds a little uncomfortable.

It's quiet, but it's like a small hammer that keeps smashing on the head.

"Is it the bedroom I was in before?"

The thin man looked back at the bedroom he had been in before.

That was the last place he hadn't checked.

It is also the most overlooked.

"It's supposed to be a rat gnawing something, damn rat, don't let me catch you."

He walked briskly into his bedroom.

First habitually glanced at the window, and the soldiers outside were still patrolling.

Then he lay down and looked under the bed.

It's messy under the bed.

Lots of clutter.

Stacks of yellowed waste newspapers, useless kitchen utensils, a few pairs of tattered slippers, tattered clothes......

Cobwebs with heavy dust cover these debris.

The thin man had leaned over as much as he could, and his whole brain was almost stuffed under the bed.

But I still can't see clearly.

So he got up, shook his sore neck, and prepared to turn on the flashlight of his phone.

But he was suddenly stunned.

It's a cabinet.

There was a bed between him and the wardrobe.

The closet door was opening little by little.

The black gap is like a devouring abyss, which has an inexplicable horror.

"Boom...... Boom......"

The thin man suddenly understood something.

The androids that were in large numbers, but suddenly disappeared...... There may be a lot of them hiding in the homes of residents.

The gaps in the wardrobe gradually widened.

He saw it......

A pair of bloody eyes, a bloody butcher knife, and misshapen and twisted limbs crawling outward.

……

The city of Mou in July is quite hot.

Heavy clouds turned the heat into a muggy one.

Each soldier was wearing heavy body armor and the various equipment on his body was also quite heavy, and all the men were highly nervous and sweating.

In this kind of weather, when you go back to take a shower and change clothes at night, you can clearly see the white salt stains on the inner layer of clothing.

"When is the changing of the guard?"

"There's still half an hour, bear with me."

"It's so hot this day, and I don't know where those androids are hiding, so it's not a way to patrol like this all the time."

The soldiers walked and communicated.

Their gaze travels to every corner of the city.

"Sector 9 has already had five firefights with androids today, and those androids are very weak in combat, just don't be attacked by them."

"Don't be intimidated by the appearance of some androids yet."

"We're all highly trained, how can we be scared by those machines? If you want me to say, those Executive Directors are too timid to even tell the androids about their appearance. ”

"Many people in the Executive Board are retired veterans, don't take ...... lightly"

"Bang ——!"

Before the soldier could speak, he heard a bang overhead.

It was the sound of glass breaking.

"Get out of the way and take cover!"

The enemy is unknown.

The captain of this squad did not look up, but immediately told everyone to dodge.

Even just looking up can waste a lot of time.

In times of emergency, time is precious.

"Pop ......"

A corpse fell along with glass shards on the potholed street.

It was a rather miserable corpse.

From the outside, you can see that he is a thin man.

Both of his eyes were gone, leaving only two hollow bleeding eye sockets, and his body was covered with knife wounds.

The horror and pain on his face had long been frozen.

It's as if I've seen something terrifying before I was alive, and it's hard to have a complete part of the skin on my body.

At this time, the patrol team was already far away, standing behind a scrapped private car.

They saw the enemy as they were.

"That'...... That's an android? ”

In their minds, androids should be exactly like humans.

So when I first received the order in the morning, many people were quite excited, it was a kind of excitement that could kill.

On weekdays, when training in the army, androids are occasionally used.

However, because it is a one-time consumable, they rarely really experience the joy of shooting androids that are exactly the same as humans except during large-scale military exercises.

So many people went to the Executive Board after retiring from the military so that they could experience this kind of fun.

"Hold your breath, that's the androids." The team leader said.

It's in that broken second-floor window.

A bloodied creature crawled out.

His head turned at a strange angle, the corners of his mouth were torn wide, as if he was laughing, his limbs twisted and deformed, and he clung to the second-floor wall.

It's not like a android, it's just a humanoid monster crawling out of a bloody horror movie.

"Incongruity, the twisting and incongruity of human limbs, and the shedding of human blood and the stench of it, will make you feel instinctive fear."

The squad leader was calm and carefully analyzed.

"He has the appearance of a human being, but ordinary people stand on two feet, and he crawls on all fours, and his head is rotated one hundred and eighty degrees, there are many such weirdness, don't be afraid, treat him as an animal."

The captain discovered that the android had no ranged weapon.

So he was at the front of the line.

With that, he glanced at the immature faces in his team.

"Which of you wants to shoot a shot?"

"This monster ...... Is one shot enough? ”

"That's enough." The captain was sure, "The weaknesses of the androids are obvious, I have told you countless times, and they are also used as imaginary enemies during military exercises, and now is the time for you to really do it." ”

"That'...... I'll give it a try. ”

A young man spoke, looking only eighteen or nineteen years old.

The captain nodded.

In my heart, I thought that in the future, I should suggest that some horror elements should be added to the program of recruit training.

Those surviving veterans 80 years ago once said that they were very afraid of going to the battlefield at first, and if they were not afraid, they were deceiving, but then they slowly got used to it, and they saw too many teammates being shot in the head next to them, and their heads were blown up like watermelons...... It will be a lot calmer.

Their words have been passed down from generation to generation.

The city has not faced war for 80 years.

Now this batch of recruits.

Not only must you overcome the fear of going to war, but you also have to overcome the fear of unknown creatures.
