Chapter 396: The Second City

Mixed feelings.

All the main battle factions are now entangled.

In the no-man's land not far from the city of Mou, there is a large city.

Now known as the Second City of Androids.

Not long after the city was founded, the main battle faction on the Mowu side had already begun to plot to destroy the city one day.

In fact, they almost succeeded, but Lu Wen happened to arrive in time with the strongest army of Baker City androids on land.

In this impromptu meeting at dusk, everyone had a different expression.

Someone repeatedly stated: "Our situation is completely different from the Western side, the Western side really can't support it, and there is no longer any strength to resist, so we will turn to the androids for help, but we are fully capable of destroying all the existing invaders." ”

"In fact, even if there were ten times more of these invaders, we would be able to wipe them out completely, and it was only a matter of time!"

A modern metropolis with a population of nearly 200 million.

Both the military and the economy are among the best in the world on the ground.

The size of the normal army exceeds 600,000, and there are millions of reservists who have only been in the army for two years and are discharged, with abundant weapons and equipment, and various military factories continue to produce day and night.

And the other party's humanoid machinery is limited after all.

As the speaker just said, even if there were ten times as many humanoid mechs as the battlefield, after a brutal tug-of-war day after day, the final victory would only belong to Mou City.

"It's a time of war, so let's put aside our personal prejudices and political prejudices, and there's no need to risk the lives of residents to consume the strength of the other side."

The city of Mou is in the same situation as in the West before.

The opposition and support for the contact androids split into two factions.

This time there may really be no stakes involved.

It is purely from a personal point of view and a city point of view.

Both sides have their own opinions, spitting stars on each other.

Wei Bo'an naturally supported finding the androids and transferring the residents of Mowu City, but the anti-android forces were deep-rooted, and many old stubborns were against the androids.

This stereotype began 80 years ago, when the A01 was presented to everyone.

Eighty years of opposition have been accumulated.

"If you want to find those androids, go find them, anyway, I will definitely not, in the end, there will always be a group of people who will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"

"I also object, it is this kind of war period that can test the will of human beings even more, from ancient times to the present, when have we really relied on machinery?"

There is also a part of the anti-android community that is anti-tech.

They are against all high technology, including androids.

Some people think that these technologies are fake.

Others believe that if this continues, humanity will become more and more dependent on machines, and its own evolution will stop, and one day it will be ruled by machines.

For this reason, they have also gone to great lengths to come up with the 'theory of human degradation'.

For example, human beings used to be able to resist various diseases on their own, but later they needed to rely on antibiotics produced by fungi such as Penicillium to survive, as if the human race needed some kind of special symbiotic relationship with other races in order to survive and reproduce...... Many people feel that the human race as a whole is becoming weaker and more dependent on things outside of them, and the prosperity of technology is the best explanation for this phenomenon.

Many of the arguments are untenable, but there is always a small group of people who are convinced.

"It's really interesting that these people are fighting around, all of them are standing on the moral and emotional high ground, and when it comes to it, these politicians are actually the most powerful keyboard warriors."

Xia Chuluo took a sip of tea lightly and continued to watch the play.

She was right.

These politicians have knowledge, culture and status, and their skills in spraying people are particularly outstanding, often spraying each other across the Internet platform, and can be called the top group of keyboard warriors in Mowu City.

Now it's just a shift from online to offline.

Since the beginning of the android riots, the current government has been under the greatest pressure in eighty years due to high levels of anxiety and anxiety, with many people no longer wearing the hypocritical smiling masks and often spraying each other in their busy daily routines.

"What kind of wedding dress do you think I'll wear then?" Xia Chuluo put the picture of the mobile phone he was browsing in front of Lu Wen.

"They're arguing so fiercely, you're actually paying attention to this?"

Jiang Fatzi's wedding is still a few months away, and Lu Wen feels that it is too early to pay attention to these now.

When the war will end is unknown.

Yin Long, that old guy didn't know where to hide.

The only thing that can be determined is that Yin Long is in the high-level world.

But the high-level world is so big, it's easy for a little old man to hide.

"I guess you have a way to get these guys to stop arguing, right?" Xia Chuluo asked.

"Why do you say that?"

"After all, you are the master of that city, and it will be easy to find out which residents of Mowu City have settled in recently."

In the early days of the war, just a week or two after the first week, there were already wealthy merchants in Mowu City who had brought their families to the second city of androids.

In the past three months, many more residents of Mowu City have come over one after another.

Lu Wen only charged a nominal part of the fee.

At this time, most of the people who thought of taking refuge in the android city were people who were very well-informed and trusted the androids, such as the blue engineers, or some high-ranking people in Mowu City.

Ordinary people can't think of this.

They weren't well-informed enough to know that the second city of androids was already habitable.

Now that Xia Chuluo has already explained, Lu Wen is no longer hiding, and he said in a low voice: "There is a very interesting phenomenon at present, many of the guys who oppose androids have quietly transferred their families to the second city of androids. ”

"It's really interesting."

This group of cunning and treacherous old politicians never knows how many masks they wear on their faces.

Now it seems that the quarrel has turned red, but who knows how many people are pretending?

The two watched with interest as they argued.

I even want some popcorn.

After the argument lasted for more than an hour, both sides probably felt that the performance was almost done, and each other's tones were a little softer.

However, the jury is still out on whether or not to ask the androids for help.

So Lu Wen appeared.

He looked at an old man in the anti-android camp and asked with a smile, "Mr. Yan Tao, why are you objecting to asking for support from androids?" ”

I saw that the old gentleman had a serious expression and snorted coldly: "We are human beings, the creators of androids, how can we ask for help from that group of numb machines?" ”

It's like not saying it.

But the general meaning was expressed in a cold tone.

So everyone on the anti-android camp applauded and expressed their support.

So Lu Wen's smile became even brighter.

He asked softly, "Then Mr. Yan Tao, why did you secretly send your family to the second city of androids?" ”

Yan Tao's face changed suddenly, his face was calm, and there was anger in his voice: "You investigate me privately? ”

"As the head of the 15th District Executive Board, I have the right to investigate your financial transactions directly, and if you feel unhappy, you can ask your lawyer to discuss these issues with me."

Not long ago, Lu Wen was promoted.

The 15th arrondissement only has tourism, and the post here has no other role than pension, and the previous chief was extremely corrupt, leaving a mess.

Therefore, Lu Wen was logically upgraded under the operation of Wei Bo'an.

Not even a single voice of opposition.

After the end of the war, there will be a change of parliamentarians, and Lu Wen will have another identity at that time.

Wei Boan must have had enough of these old politicians who disagreed with him, so he was forming his own team.

Inside the venue.

Yan Tao really had nothing to say under everyone's gaze, and finally could only snort coldly and sit down indignantly.

That's the default.

He quietly transferred his family to the second city of androids.

So the camp that supports the androids suddenly got excited.

Yan Tao is obviously not alone.

When Lu Wen's gaze moved to the side of the anti-android camp, most of them either lowered their heads or shifted their gaze to other places, and few dared to look at him.

The confrontation between the two camps was thus broken.

"Let's start transferring the residents tomorrow, we can't delay any longer, I don't know if there are more mechanized troops on the other side."

……

End of meeting.

The whole city continues to function in an orderly manner.

Gunshots rang out in every corner, quite close to the parliament building.

Every old politician pulled a bunch of bodyguards to protect himself.

It is human nature to be afraid of death.

There were still a few corpses in the square in front of the building that had not been taken away, but fortunately now that the weather was getting colder, the flesh and blood would not decompose so quickly.

Wei Boan walked to Lu Wen's side with a smile and reached out to hold his shoulder, the two were like a pair of brothers who had known each other for many years.

"You will be responsible for the residents of our Mowu City, and the accommodation arranged for them must be better than those guys in the West."

"You went to find No. 9 for this, what are you looking for me Lu Wen for?"

"It's all this time, you're still pretending?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Lu Wen looked at the dim and flickering street lamps in the distance, and sighed helplessly.

"This war will continue for a few more months, and the whole world will have to run to my little broken city."

Wei Bo'an said with a smile: "Who told you to have such great ability now, how can you say that...... With great power comes great responsibility. ”

Lu Wen replied: "Have you watched "Dragonfly Man"? ”

"Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"In the movie, after the protagonist's uncle was shot, he fell to the ground and said to the protagonist: 'The more power, the more girls will be.'"

"Is this a serious movie?"

……

The great transfer of the city of Mou began at dawn the next day.

Only part of the population needs to be transferred.

Mainly areas that have been heavily infiltrated by those humanoid machines.

As for the other areas, they are safe for now.

There are spontaneous groups of the population that patrol the rear of the city.

They clenched their guns, many of them returning from the army and just wanted to do their part to defend the city.

Others, although they don't have much combat ability, try their best to contribute.

"The front lines that are close to those invaders have begun to evacuate their populations, and the area ahead will become a place of fighting."

"Everyone, cheer up, don't let up, there will be more and more intruders breaking through the front line and entering our area......"

The enthusiasm of the residents who took the initiative was high.

Many shops are still open on the streets.

Some provide hot water and food to the patrolling residents with guns, some provide a place to rest for a while, and some repair broken vehicles or modified mechanical bodies for free.

Lu Wen wandered the streets casually.

Beside him were the people and vehicles that were constantly patrolling back and forth, the smoke and dust were billowing and roaring, the gunshots rang out in the distance, and the smoke filled the sky.

The atmosphere here is a little more relaxed than in the frontline area, but the tension of many people can be felt.

Some people will say hello when they see him.

Lu Wenhui nodded in response.

The body is just looking around at the moment.

Most of his energy was focused on the body of Number Nine in the second city of androids.

"The city is still not big enough and needs to continue to expand."

Money, population, weapons and equipment, urban planning......

Massive amounts of data flow through Lu Wen's brain.

Fortunately, he has currently obtained the permission of A00, and all the data centers are available for him to use, otherwise Lu Wen is estimated to have been down many times now.

While frowning and thinking, Lu Wen unconsciously walked to a more familiar place.

【Fanshi Machinery Repair Factory】

Very kind five words.

This is where Cloudiplus works.

This young man is one of the first few humans Lu Wen has met since he turned on the camera, and he has had a lot of intersections.

At the entrance of the mechanic shop was a recent billboard with words such as "Free repair of cars and mechanical bodies for patrol teams".

I haven't seen him for a few months, and Yun Yang is still like that.

Relatively thin, sitting at the door of the machine shop.

The war had brought most of the industry to a halt, and there was no one else on the street except the patrol team, so his job was easy now.

In fact, he came of his own free will.

After offering to help the patrol team repair the machinery and equipment, the owner of the machine shop gave Yun Yang the key and told him to pay attention to safety.

Only a few months after he got married, he encountered the war, and this young man was not very lucky.

Lu Wen stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Did you have a conflict with your wife?" ”

Yun Yang was surprised and asked, "How do you see this?" ”

Lu Wen pointed to his left ring finger.

"There are traces of wearing a ring, but there is no ring, and you take the ring off, which is not normal for a newlywed husband who has just been married for a few months, so I guess you young couple have relationship problems."

"Indeed."

Yun Yang sighed slightly.

He said that he had not met the bride a few times before getting married, after all, it was the parents of both parties who brought the connection.

After getting married, all kinds of trivial things in life exposed that the personalities of the two were not compatible, it can be said that they were far apart, and they didn't even spend the honeymoon period, so they began to live in separate rooms, and now Yunyang sleeps in the machine repair shop every day, and he hasn't been back for a long time.

Lu Wen didn't understand why in this era before they got married, and his parents had to be involved in marriage, but after all, it was someone else's private matter, and he couldn't interfere.

He asked, "The second city of androids has begun to accept the residents of Mowu City, you can bring your family with you, I have a good relationship with the androids over there, and I can arrange a more comfortable place for you to live." ”

Yun Yang hesitated for a moment.

He can stay on his own, but his family is a big concern after all.

He said in a deep voice, "It's okay, then it's troublesome." ”

The young man chose to stay in the city of Mou until the end of the war.

Lu Wen arranged for his family to fly to the Second City on the same day.

……

And so the war went on for more than a month.

It's December 24th.

Christmas Eve.

The night of Christmas Eve.

When the stars are shining and the snow is falling.

Two more areas in quick succession stopped the war.

The long war has left everyone feeling tired and tired, and the prelude to peace is slowly begining.
