Chapter 195: Rising Wasteland World (1)

Meng Hui sat on a hard iron chair, the legs of which were rusty, facing a transparent floor-to-ceiling window, and behind her was a small square room.

On the left wall behind him are a lot of posters full of science and technology, and if you look closely, they are not the kind of paper pictorials on the earth, but thin sheets of metal, and the patterns on them can shine in various colors.

There is a wall bed on the right wall behind him, apparently because the room is too small, and it is retracted from the wall when he is not sleeping. Behind her was the door, rusty like the chair beneath her, and next to it was a transparent washroom with a washbasin, toilet, and bathtub made of gray metal.

It was dark outside, and the room could be seen clearly without obvious lighting tools, as if the metal walls, floor, and ceiling were glowing together.

Meng Hui saw that outside was a city made of metal, the buildings were disorderly, dilapidated, messy, and dense, and many houses seemed to be built casually with metal boxes, which could collapse at any time.

"It looks like a metal version of the slums, it's not tall at all! Where is the spaceship? Where are the shiny high-tech buildings? Meng Hui received a lot of messy and disorderly memories, many of which were bloody and violent fight scenes, and all kinds of strange weapons exploded in her mind.

The original owner's name was Raph, and she was now ninety-two years old, and she looked like a young girl from Earth Twenty-Three and Four. In a world where she can easily live to be more than 200 years old, she is indeed a young girl.

Despite his young age, Raph has been working for a hunter company called "Trial" for fifty-two years, is the youngest gold medal hunter ever, and is now the captain of Team Alpha.

"Hunting androids who have awakened their humanity? No wonder every fight is so cool......" Meng Hui was amazed, Raph looked at most one meter six, looked very thin, and in fact his whole body had been modified by drugs and bioaugmentation. In order to make it faster, more defensive, and more combative.

Raph's daily job is to search for old androids "FR-3" that show signs of awakening, or have awakened, find them, and destroy them.

The FR-3 is a special model designed for the "Freedom War" five hundred years ago, which is extremely aggressive and a good helper for humanity in wartime. And now the trial company claims that once they awaken to their human nature, they will kill people as they want.

"The War for Freedom ended five hundred years ago, and now it's the post-war era, and with countless FR-3s roaming around, it seems like Raph has been busy all day. Hey? The latest mission is to hunt Carrie?! ”

Carrie is the daughter of the deceased Yana, 90 years old, about the same age as Raph, and is currently studying "interstellar colonization" at Metro University.

"Carrie is neither a 'android' nor a 'transhuman' that has been enhanced by bioaugmentation technology, she is just an ordinary college student, who has no grudges with the trial company in the past and has no enmity in the near future, why is she being hunted down?" Meng Hui was a little puzzled.

For Raph, a task is a task, and she doesn't care if one or two things pop up once in a while that have nothing to do with androids, but for Meng Hui, it's different.

"Fortunately, Raf only received the task this afternoon, and he is still in the information gathering stage." Meng Hui was glad that he didn't waste time, if he had come a day or two late, Raph would have solved Carrie quickly, and this task would not have been able to continue.

Outside the window, neon-like traffic tubes flickered, and in the distance, a lifelike beauty of light and shadow was huge, making many provocative gestures towards pedestrians coming and going on the muddy street.

After the end of the War of Freedom, all the countries of this world disappeared, and the remaining human beings cast the old city, which is where Meng Hui is now. In the past 100 years, some chaebols have built new towns, which are relatively more orderly and clean.

But no matter how good the underground world is, it can't be better than the huge city suspended in the sky. That's where the dead Yana wanted Carrie to arrive, Jeru.

"Jeruz has existed for more than 3,000 years? How does this thing sit in the air? Meng Hui leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window that was obviously not glass, looking at the round behemoth in the dim sky, and he could vaguely see light and shadow flickering on it, which looked much stronger than the sense of technology on the ground.

It is recorded that Jerucheng was lifted from the ground 3,500 years ago, and that the first inhabitants were carefully selected as "perfect genes", which is why the inhabitants of Jeruo City have always been reluctant to let the "inferior genes" of the ground contaminate them.

With the increase of national wars on the ground and the gradual reduction of resources, people's living space is getting smaller and smaller, and it is becoming more and more difficult to survive. The kingdom below set their sights on the city of Jeru, trying to storm it and grab the resources, so they launched a war for freedom.

During the War of Freedom, there were all kinds of flying machines on the ground, such as huge attack types, small detection types, and portable types to assist human combat...... These aircraft played a large role in the war, and the determination of the inhabitants on the ground to fight to the death had a great impact on the city of Jeru.

However, the impact is always an impact, not a destruction. Jeru's technology was more advanced than that on the ground, and within 500 years, it ended this desperate war with a landslide victory.

In order to prevent World War II, they also destroyed the ground aircraft, and sent emissaries to the ground to destroy everything related to flight technology, so that nothing could fly in this wasteland.

"No wonder it doesn't look like there's any technology content on the outside, it turns out that even low-tech aircraft such as airplanes and drones have been banned." Meng Hui recalled carefully, and was suddenly even more speechless, "Even bamboo dragonflies are on the list of contraband......

The current wasteland world is considered a slave state of Jeru, and most of its inhabitants have to participate in forced work, planting crops for Jerucity, producing low-tech parts, and so on. Regardless of whether it is the old city or the new city, all the characters with heads and faces are actually the little dog's legs of Jeru.

Raph's Inquisitorial Company, of course, also belongs to Jeru, and they hunt down the androids not for the safety of the inhabitants on the ground, but for the androids to help humans fight and carry out high-altitude missions that are impossible for humans.

"There are four pipelines leading to Yelu City," Meng Hui recalled, looking out the window, and in the darkness, four slender and fragile "ropes" hung diagonally from Yelu City, leading to "farms," "factories," "offices," and a place known as "forbidden land."
