It was close to five o'clock in the morning.

An old off-road vehicle drove over a desolate no-man's land.

Jiang Xiaonian sat in the main driver's seat, looking calmly ahead.

He changed his clothes.

I got a gun.

The no-man's land at night seems lonely.

Except for the howling wind and sand, there is no other company.

The off-road vehicle came to a ruined city.

It's quiet here.

Desolation and ruin spread with the wind and sand.

There used to be androids who were willing to live in these cities, but now those androids have moved away and gone to the Bionic Alliance.

"Click......"

Jiang Xiaonian got out of the car and stepped on a piece of dead wood.

Wearing a night vision device, he slowly walked into a dilapidated hotel.

The door of the inn had rotted and collapsed over the years, and had been buried in endless sand.

There are plenty of rooms on the first floor of the hostel.

He entered one of the rooms.

The interior of the room was very shabby in its décor.

A bed, a wardrobe, a desk.

It's already rotten.

Falling wall skins were all over the floor, and the air was filled with the smell of decay.

Jiang Xiaonian lifted the tattered quilt on the bed.

The bed board underneath has not yet rotted.

Remove the bed slats.

A dark dark passage was revealed.

……

Zero has a lot of underground nests.

It has only been discovered by a few people over the years.

Most of her lairs are in the south, with the most around Baker City.

Maybe it's to protect her main body, or maybe it's to encircle Dr. Jiang.

Far from this underground in the city of Mou.

Zero sits in front of the big screen.

Long hours of emptiness and loneliness wander in this fortress,

She didn't accept her failure.

But now her body has been locked, cut off from the outside world, and she can't even sense other bodies, and she doesn't dare to take the initiative to try to break the blockade.

She knew that an android had taken over A00's rights and was waiting for her in the outside world.

Zero is distressed by the fact that nothing can be done.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she needed help now, and the person who helped her stopped contacting her.

A voice suddenly rang out in the subterranean space.

"Da ......"

"Da ......"

It's footsteps.

Someone came down.

Is it a visitor, or an enemy?

Zero became alert, and she looked at the entrance, gun clenched in hand.

More than ten seconds.

The footsteps stopped.

A thin young man stood at the entrance, half of his face burned by the flames, making him look a little scary.

"Long time no see."

There was not a hint of emotion in his calm voice.

Like a dead man crawling out of a morgue.

"Jiang Xiaonian ......"

Zero saw who was coming.

This man was just a small pawn she had laid out.

There are thousands of such small chess pieces in her hands.

Some have been used by her, and some have been killed when they are used up.

"Lu Wen called you here?"

"Sort of."

"You're here to kill me?"

"Yes."

Zero received an affirmative answer from Jiang Xiaonian.

She was silent for a moment, using her body's existing deduction ability to calculate the probability that she would get out alive.

The probability is low.

The young man in front of him was very dangerous, and he could feel the dangerous aura from a long distance.

"Actually, we can work together."

"How to cooperate?"

"I can get that person's help again, take back the authority from Lu Wen or the rebooted A00, and set off the android riot again, this time I won't fail, I will build a world ruled by androids."

"What's in it for me?"

"I need human creativity, so I will keep some human beings in captivity, you happen to be a human being, those human beings, I can leave them to you to manage you, you are their king, whatever you want, you can ......"

"Bang ——!"

Blue blood splatters.

With a "snap", the gun in Zero's hand was knocked off and fell to the ground.

Jiang Xiaonian looked at her indifferently and said, "I thought you could sense that I was distracting you, but you didn't, it seems that failure is indeed a big blow to you." ”

"You ......"

Zero glanced at the gun that fell to the ground, and then at Jiang Xiaonian.

Her arm was still spilling blue blood.

"Don't you want to be free? What did Lu Wen promise you? Will he let you go? ”

"He didn't say it." Jiang Xiaonian responded truthfully.

"He's definitely not going to let you go, he has the memories of a human being, and although he's a machine, he's bound by human morality, and he'll get you back again, you're ......"

"Bang ——!"

Another shot.

The head hit this time.

Zero's body fell.

Until the moment before she was hit, she still had the idea of tricking Jiang Xiaonian into cooperating with her.

Jiang Xiaonian calmly withdrew the gun.

Step by step back to the ground.

It's six o'clock in the morning.

The sky is slightly bright.

He leaned against the old SUV and was silent for a long time.

Wind and sand constantly weave through the streets and alleys of the city, carrying desolation and aimlessly.

Jiang Xiaonian was waiting for a phone call.

Not long after, the phone rang.

On the opposite side is a familiar sound.

The voice only said four words.

"You're free."

"Your human morality?"

"Even human beings don't have to be bound by morality."

Hung up over there.

Jiang Xiaonian put down his phone.

He knew that Lu Wen was still watching him.

Now Lu Wen is everywhere.

Every camera, whether it is a mobile phone or computer, is Lu Wen's eyes, and he can also hack into any electronic device.

As long as you are still alive in modern times.

can't escape Lu Wen's surveillance.

That's why Lu Wen let him go.

Jiang Xiaonian smiled faintly, this should be the first time he had laughed in so long, he returned to the car and set off towards the urban area of Mowu City.

Billowing yellow sand flooded the back of the car.

Drifting away......

……

It was half past six in the morning.

People wake up in their sleep.

Sleep is always short in the summer, and they still have a lot to do.

Homes have been damaged, roads need to be cleared, and businesses are reopening.

The heavy clouds that had been hanging over Mowu City had also lifted.

It was an early morning with a dawn.

Brilliant golden sunrise.

After a night of time.

There are only two big topics left to discuss in the nine cities.

[Can A00 still control all androids after restarting]

【Where will androids go?】

I don't know who broke the news that A00 is restarting.

Everyone was worried.

The question of where androids stay has also become a big problem.

For now, at least, these androids can be left on for a while to help clean up the city's ruins.

Many buildings had to be torn down and rebuilt.

West, the city that suffered the most damage, basically the entire city needs to be rebuilt.

Even the royal palace was in dilapidation.

"Lu Wen, is A00 really restarting?"

At seven o'clock in the morning, everyone gathered at the General Directorate of the Executive Board of the 9th District.

This is the first question asked.

The top concern for all right now.

Lu Wen didn't want to lie to them, so he nodded.

"Hmm."

"And she...... After she reboots, is she still the same as before? ”

"Not sure, maybe she'll lose all her memories and only her original android instincts."

"Does she still have access to all the androids?"

"Yes."

A00 shared her permissions with Lu Wen.

The rest of the data centers can be used by Lu Wen.

"To be prepared, it's best to spread the word in advance." Lu Wen looked at everyone, "There is still half an hour, she will complete the restart, and there may be some abnormalities at that time, she needs to adapt to her own permissions as soon as she turns on the machine, all the androids may be controlled again, and the electrical appliances at home and the screens on the street may also be abnormal." ”

"It's going to cause panic among the population."

"That's why advance notice is needed."

So the crowd began to spread the word.

The first to hear was the councils of eight other cities.

The news soon became known to the majority of the population under their unsparing propaganda.

"Androids are going to be controlled again?"

"It's just a moment, A00 needs to get used to permissions."

"Didn't you hear that she's dead? With such a large amount of data, how can there be data backup? ”

There was a lot of talk.

This topic also became the most discussed in the morning.

【Do you want A00 to recover your memory】

Such statistics appear on various social platforms.

The final results were surprising.

There are actually 73% of people who hope that the A00 can recover their memories after restarting.

"She prevented this catastrophe that would have destroyed the world, and she deserves to be trusted."

"At least before that, she had had those privileges for almost 80 years and hadn't done anything out of the ordinary."

This result was incredible even to Lu Wen.

He sneaked into some personal devices.

In the personal chats of some residents, they communicate with friends, saying things like they want the androids to disappear and hope that A00's reboot fails.

But when these residents counted anonymously, they actually clicked "hope to recover their memory".

"The Confused Behavior of Man."

……

In the north of Eden.

The outbreak here is very late.

All the simple reconstruction and clean-up work has been completed.

The city returned to normalcy, and all androids began to do their part and continue to expand the urban space.

They are also concerned about the A00 restart.

"Lu Wen, are you sure?" Konstantin asked.

"It's not up to me to say this, it's up to A00 himself."

Eden's management was waiting outside the warehouse at this time.

After a night of time.

Lu Wen successfully followed the A00 method and got all the data of those two years on the server.

The reboot was slow.

At about five o'clock in the morning, the A00 was already turning on, and it still hadn't opened its eyes.

Half an hour.

Not long, not short.

On this day, the dawn sun is completely sprinkled.

The little girl who had been sitting on the edge of the bed slowly opened her eyes.

……

At the same time.

Electronics around the world have been subjected to some level of disruption.

The big screens on the side of the street, people's mobile phones and computers, began to flicker again.

Even all the androids are eerily still.

"Yes...... A00 rebooted? ”

Everyone held their breath.

The planet has never been quieter.

Soldiers in various cities were instructed to wipe out androids as soon as they became abnormal.

A00 opened his eyes.

There was no movement.

She just lowered her head and whispered a word.

This phrase appeared on the big screens on those streets.

People all over the world can see it.

“hello， world”

……

Good night, book friends!

During this time, the two are mainly eye problems, conjunctivitis is committed again, this disease is repeated, the eyes are itchy and uncomfortable, I get some allergy medicine, I always get sleepy after eating, and eye drops are also a big torture in the world, I don't understand why I always commit this thing at such a young age.
