Four "people" with purely mechanical bodies sat in the ruins that were only half blown up, except for Xiao Sui'er, who was holding a bottle of wine in his hand. In fact, they no longer have the ability to perceive alcohol in the pure sense, and they do not need to use biological enzymes to degrade it, and sometimes drinking alcohol is just a habit that has been retained from the human stage.

There was also a radio next to An Lian's feet, and the veteran next door had broken it before, so he brought it over for her to fix it. By the time An Lian finished repairing and wanted to give it back, the veteran was no longer there.

Although human beings have created prosthetic bodies, and although they have allowed the human body to break through the limits of physical energy and do more things that human beings could not otherwise do, they still have not been able to resist time and disease. After all, death is still a shadow hovering over people, no matter what kind of machine one's body is transformed into, no matter how illustrious the achievements have been, when death comes, everyone is equal, and no one can be exempted.

There are few people in the current fortress who survived Gu San's era. Most of the survivors who lived through the Great Explosion and the human flight to history are no longer alive today. Carefully calculated, Gu San is also nearly a hundred years old, and such a long time does not know whether it should be a blessing or a disaster for human beings.

After returning to the ground, Gu San didn't think about finding some former friends, those who fought side by side, at least knowing what her name was and what they had experienced together. But this was too difficult, at that time, even the people in the same fortress would sometimes be separated due to the sudden attack of zombies, and everyone was so busy running for their lives that they didn't even have a chance to erect a monument after they died.

In addition, in order to prevent the corpse from mutating, all the sacrificed soldiers will be cremated. Sometimes there are so many people who are cremated together that they can't tell who is who. Gu San didn't say that he would find an acquaintance to talk to, even if he wanted to find one or two tombstones, he didn't have a chance to toast his dead comrades.

So for Gu San, it seems that except for the friends she only met after her "death", she no longer knows anyone in this world.

"It's been three years in the blink of an eye...... Where did you say that the city in the sky has been hiding for the past three years? An Lian sat on the edge of the wall of the ruins and sighed, "It's strange that they were so crazy, but they haven't even shown a shadow in all these years." ”

"The city in the sky didn't need to be connected to the ground in the first place, and when they first drew the design, they were ready to cut it off from the ground." Juri held the wine glass, and he looked more like a symbolic take, so as not to look a little out of place, "Now it is the situation of the gentleman that worries people." It's been three years, and I don't know what Sky City will do with Mr. Miss Gu, have you ever thought about what if we really succeeded in finding a device that could locate Sky City, but the gentleman was gone? ”

"Murong Yuhua was killed by them?" Gu San raised his eyelids. An Lian frowned when she heard this, and hammered Zhu Li's arm: "You speak too straight, right?" If we really die, won't our efforts be in vain? ”

"There is a certain probability of such an outcome." Juri was very blunt, "Although I will feel sad about this too, this point must be considered first. Once the city in the sky is found again, perhaps the second war will start again. We have to be in place. The ground is no better now than it was then. The gap between the rich and the poor is widening, there are more and more illegal businesses, the crime rate is increasing year by year, and the law and order situation is sometimes even worse than during the reign of Sky City. ”

"It's ironic, but it's true. The more freedom you give people, the easier it is for sin to breed among them, and the more repressive you are, the less people dare to sin. Gu San played with the lighter in his hand, a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, "Hoping for the kindness and consciousness of the people, choosing self-government without government is the most stupid means for urban development." ”

An Lian rolled her eyes, and impatiently raised her head and poured her beer, "Here we go again." Sister-in-law, you used to be impatient when you heard this kind of talk, but now you have spoken of it yourself, and it is exactly the same as Murong's nerd. ”

Xiao Sui'er next to her suddenly smiled, "Sister Lianlian, you also found out, right?" Haha, my aunt said no before. You do, and you always say things like that for no reason. ”

Gu San looked away a little unnaturally, she pointed to her brain, "Because of the storage device now." It's not so easy to think of these things. Maybe Murong Yuhua instilled something that I wasn't interested in. ”

But that's also the reality. From the perspective of data analysis, the more stable and innovating the area, the easier it is to manage and rule. Because people will embrace power, people will find ways to find recognition when they are excluded from the community. And this process is bound to continue to consolidate the original unitary rule. "However, this kind of centralized rule ultimately guarantees only the submission of the ruled, but there is no way to limit the behavior of the higher-ups." Centralization of power eventually breeds corruption and creates more problems within power. ”

"Freedom is the government of the people, not the government of the people. The two are always pulling at each other. Once the balance is lost, the managed side slides into the abyss and eventually becomes the exploited side. As in the current situation, without government control, more and more capitalists begin to exploit labor, and those living in slums will only live more and more miserable. And there's no way to change it easily. An Lian followed Zhu Li's words and raised her eyes to look at the lights in the city, "Did Murong think about all this before deciding to start a war?" ”

Juri sighed, "Human beings lack 'consideration', no matter how intelligent and perfect people are. ”

"And Murong himself is too kind than most people." "He always has high expectations for others, thinking that people's sense of morality will definitely override guilt, and eventually achieve peace among the crowd." Therefore, the revolution is reasonable in his eyes, and it should be completed without delay. ”

Xiao Sui'er tilted her head and listened to these adults discuss this, although her thinking pattern has gradually grown over the years, it is still a little difficult to understand these. She bit the lollipop, blinked her eyes, and asked coldly, "But Sky City killed a lot of people at that time." ”

She counted them one by one with her fingers, "Xiaoyue, Jingjing, Ah Zi, and Doudou I know...... They were all killed by the police officers of Sky City. ”

Xiao Sui'er may be the android who has been with Murong Yuhua for the longest time, although she looks far younger than An Lian and Zhu Li, but the manufacturing time is far ahead of them. For Murong, a child can still escape the doubts of others very well.

Xiao Sui'er also came to the ground earlier than them, at first she followed Lin Si, and later Murong Yuhua stayed by Murong's side after finding a place to camp on the ground. She's a child, and she always blends in quickly and naturally with her surroundings. In her memory card is stored the violence committed by the city in the sky over the years.

At that time, the White Terror was everywhere, and the censorship of the Robot Inspector became more and more stringent, and everyone who talked about the Sky Castle in private would be dragged out of the bed by the Robot Inspector in the middle of the night. The city in the sky does not allow anyone to question, and they force the young people to open up the wasteland and clean up the city surrounded by zombies.

Even if some people don't want to do this, they will be violently suppressed. People eventually became machines for the city in the sky to plunder the resources of the ground. Mechanical police officers are almost everywhere, their eyeliner is all over the fortress, and they want to escape unless they leave the fortress and enter the deserted city, but at that time, the number of zombies has not completely dropped below the safety factor, and even the prosthetic people have to worry about being attacked and eventually dying.

Some people who were dissatisfied with the actions of the city in the sky began to rebel, and some people began to conspire.

But betrayals and whistleblowers are always emerging.

For a time, everyone in the fortress was required to live in the same strict hierarchy as the castle in the sky. What distinguishes them is the degree of belief in the city in the sky. The more devout people are, the more comfortable they can live in, the more resources they have, and the more space they can move around.

And those who don't want to surrender, who have dissent in their hearts, or who care so much about their own free ideas can only live in dilapidated slums, doing heavy work and not giving them a chance to breathe.

Therefore, not all rebellions are unprovoked, and it is not that Murong Yuhua can have the ability to set off a revolution by relying on words, or the secrets he discovered himself. Everything happened in a trace, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people willing to respond.

Some people may be for profit, but some people are indeed igniting themselves for the ideals in their hearts. Although none of them thought that when everything came true, some people sacrificed for it, and some people lost everything, the happiness that would have been achieved after the desired victory did not happen.

In fact, these people who participated in the war at the beginning, Lin Si, Gu San or An Lian, they are all on the unspeakable gray list in this incident.

The survivors on the ground would never admit that the person who saved them was from the Sky City. They had just defeated their own enemy, and how could they attribute all this merit to the man who himself came from within the enemy? So from the beginning, Lin Si wasn't even interested in telling the true identity of Murong Yuhua. He didn't want his friends to end up being spurned after exhausting everything.

People are always good at making gods, especially in times of despair, in times of oppression, and the person who bravely leads everyone in the pursuit of freedom is given the highest respect.

But people are also good at destroying God, and when everything is settled down and everyone gets everything they want, they always want more, they want more, and at that moment, everything that the "hero" gives is often not enough to satisfy their greed. That's when they look for the God's flaws, try to threaten him through his weaknesses, and force him to do more for himself.

So instead of that, it's better not to stand on the altar from the beginning.

Murong Yuhua had long known this, and he did it with Lin Si. So over the years, Gu San hadn't even seen Murong Yuhua's name in any of the remaining materials on the ground. Among the many materials left behind, she only knew that there was such a person, who was familiar with the scientific and technological methods of Sky City, and helped the survivors on the ground to achieve victory.
