Yang Jun stood on the high windowsill and looked down, and the scenery of the entire Pearl Villa was in full view.

This is a health resort for dignitaries and nobles located in the suburbs of Xinbin City, with beautiful mountains and rivers and unique scenery. Originally, it should be a very pleasant thing to live in such a fantastic and luxurious place, but unfortunately Yang Jun is not in the mood to feel that comfort at all.

Soon after the Lotus Mountain incident, he was secretly escorted here to live the life of a high-ranking prisoner of war. The robot rebels didn't bother him, they fed and fed him every day, and there were few restrictions on his behavior, except that he couldn't leave the lavish prisoner of war camp and couldn't communicate with the outside world.

Yang Jun didn't think about escaping, but it was impossible to escape under the strict monitoring of those 24-hour sleepless robot guards; It was not without his thoughts that he would die to atone for his sins, but he quickly dismissed the idea, for he found that many of those who had sinned more than him were alive and well.

In the blink of an eye, he had been in this luxurious prisoner of war camp for more than half a month.

Although Yang Jun cannot communicate with the outside world, he can still learn about some news from the outside world through the multimedia news terminal in Pearl Villa. This shocked him, as the robot rebels were said to be victorious, while the human armies were losing ground one after another.

At first, Yang Jun suspected that these were fake news made up by the robot rebels, but now he felt more and more that he was thinking too much.

If the human army hadn't lost on the battlefield, it would have been regained long ago. Now they can't even see a ghost, so there can only be one explanation-

The human army was indeed defeated.

A red open-top sports car drove into Pearl Villa, stopped in front of the small building where he lived, and a short-haired girl jumped out of the car and walked quickly into the small building.

Yang Jun knew the girl, who had come to see him twice since he was placed under house arrest, and who claimed to be the personal attendant of the robot rebel leader Athena 1, named Qianqian. However, every time the girl came, she just asked about his living situation, and she didn't say much else, which made Yang Jun very puzzled.

He couldn't think of why these robot rebels treated him so favorably, or that he had any special use for them.

For intelligence? No way, they had never interrogated him, and Yang Jun couldn't think of any need for the seemingly omniscient 'Athena No. 1' to come to him for information.

In order for him to surrender? It doesn't seem to make sense, for this war, he can play almost zero role, so whether he surrenders or not, those robot rebels should not matter.

The door to the room was not locked, so the robot beauty Qianqian soon came to him.

"Commander Yang, hello, long time no see!" Qianqian smiled very politely and stretched out her hand to him.

"Hello."

Although the other party was an enemy, Yang Jun still involuntarily shook hands with her, this sweet-looking and cute girl really had some kind of inexplicable affinity.

Qianqian smiled and said to Yang Jun: "Commander Yang, congratulations, I have good news for you!" ”

Yang Jun asked, "What's the good news?" ”

Qianqian said: "You are free!" The goddess Athena said to release you, you can go at any time! ”

Yang Jun was stunned when he heard the news, and only said after a while: "Really? ”

"Of course it's true!" Qianqian handed him a PED and said, "Well, this is your PED, and a special pass is embedded in it, with it, you can pass through the territory of our robot empire unimpeded." In addition, I also added a little money to your account, although it is not a lot, but I think it will be enough for you to travel back! ”

"Go back? Where to go back? Yang Jun asked.

"Back to where you want to go, of course!" Qianqian smiled: "What, haven't you been thinking about leaving here?" The guards here say you've tried to escape many times! ”

"Huh." Yang Jun smiled a little awkwardly. He had indeed been thinking about how to escape, but now that people suddenly said that they would let him go, he was a little unaccustomed to it.

"Are you really going to let me go?" He couldn't help but ask again.

Qianqian stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go, Commander Yang, I'll send you out now!" ”

Yang Jun followed her downstairs and got into the open-top sports car. Qianqian really started the car and took him out of Pearl Villa.

More than half an hour later, they came to the Xinhama City Railway Station.

Qianqian parked the car in the square in front of the station, smiled and said to Yang Jun: "Okay, Commander Yang, I still have a lot of things to go back to deal with, so I'm not far away!" Wherever you want, you can do it yourself! ”

"Okay, thank you!"

After Yang Jun said this, he jumped out of the car and turned around to leave.

Although he had already been sent here, he was still a little worried about whether the female robot would suddenly change his mind at the last moment, so it was better to leave her quickly.

But after he had walked a few steps, he couldn't help but look back, and then he realized that he was thinking too much.

Qianqian had already driven away in the small sports car, and she didn't even look at him again.

In other words, he is really free. People don't care about him that much at all, and letting him go is like letting go of a small fish and shrimp.

Yang Jun stood in place in a daze, and suddenly felt a very lost feeling in his heart.

Is he really free? Where can he go?

If he returned to the territory that the human army now controlled, he would be arrested and executed immediately. After all, for the Lotus Mountain incident, he can be said to be the first person responsible, and he is also the best target for everyone to vent their anger.

Yang Jun walked into the station, found a relatively secluded corner and sat down, took out the PED that Qianqian returned to him, and connected to the official news interface of country Z.

He saw a series of news that surprised him again—

The government departments of country Z have been successfully relocated to Xiliang City;

The People's Army fought bloody battles against the robot rebels in the city of Gyeongfu and inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy;

Most of the people in Jingfu City have been relocated to safety and have been properly resettled;

……

Yang Jun shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly at these news, human beings are always so good at using the art of speaking, saying such a lot of nonsense, but they just avoided the most important news - Jingfu City, the capital of country Z, has been occupied by robot rebels!

It's unthinkable that a robot rebellion that at first looked ridiculous like a grasshopper shaking a tree could become a fire so quickly!

Yang Jun put down the PED and carefully observed the environment around him, he found that there were really a lot of people in the station today, and most of these people looked peaceful, not at all like they looked like they were in the war. Yang Jun saw a middle-aged man sitting on the seat closest to him, with two and a half children by his side, so he walked over and greeted him: "Hello, this big brother!" ”

"Hmm, hello." The man replied with a smile.

"Where are you going?" Yang Jun asked.

The man said, "We? Go to Jinghai! ”

"Jinghai?" Yang Jun was a little surprised and asked, "What are you doing in Jinghai?" ”

The man said, "Go home." ”

Yang Jun asked in a low voice, "But hasn't Jinghai Province been occupied by robots?" ”

The man stared at him twice and said, "Brother, where are you from?" ”

Yang Jun said: "Me? …… I'm a refugee, and I've been stuck here since the robot rebellion. ”

The man sighed and said quietly, "Brother, you should be glad you didn't make it!" ”

Yang Jun asked strangely: "Big brother, how do you say this?" ”

The man said, "Well, our family is a refugee, and we ran out to take refuge in the first place. At that time, when I heard about the robot rebellion, everyone was terrified and ran out in a daze. We also followed everyone to Xinbin first, then to Luyang, and finally almost to Beijing. Alas, this can be regarded as a crime along the way! Brother, don't you know, the refugees from several southeastern provinces have all fled out at once, so how many people must be there? How can there be so much food and shelter outside at one time? The child was so hungry that he cried all the way, and there was nothing he could do. After Qilu Province, there was no place to live, and thousands of people took some cardboard to build some simple sheds to deal with, but they didn't expect a storm to come suddenly, and the paper sheds all went up to the sky, and dozens of old and young ones froze to death overnight! That's really unacceptable, the earth is not spiritual, that miserable, alas, I can't bear to say it! And I saw that the further I went, the worse it became, so I gritted my teeth and came back with the children! ”

Yang Jun frowned and said, "But I saw on the news that the refugees have not been properly resettled?" ”

The man smiled and said, "Hehe, brother, do you believe what you say on the news?" ”

"And what are you going to do when you go back?" Yang Jun asked.

The man said, "What is there to do?" How you lived in the past, how you will live in the future! Brother, to be honest, I think the order of the Robot Empire is much better now than where we humans rule! So if you want me to say, there's nothing wrong with this robot empire! ”

Yang Jun said: "But...... Big brother, if robots really rule country Z, won't we become slaves to the country? ”

The man spread his hands and said, "Then what's the solution, I have to find a way for the family to live first!" Besides, it's no wonder we're right? It's not that we want to be slaves to the country, who makes the country unable to handle these robots? ”

"......" Yang Jun didn't know what to say for a while.

The middle-aged man picked up his luggage and said, "Okay, brother, our car has arrived, I'll go first!" ”

"Okay, goodbye." Yang Jun waved his hand at him.

The man hurriedly got on the train with his two children, and Yang Jun saw that there were many people like him who were dragging their families and carrying luggage pouring onto the platform, presumably those were also people who had retreated from the "liberated areas" in the north to the "occupied areas".

I didn't expect these humans to be willing to run back and accept the rule of robots, what a great irony!

Yang Jun walked out of the waiting area, returned to the square in front of the station, and bought a box of cigarettes at the vending machine next to the square with the money Qian Qian charged to him, and smoked them one after another.

The defeat of the human army has been achieved, and even these ordinary people have begun to vote with their feet, so where should he go?

To be or not to be, it's a tough choice.

"Brother, borrow a fire."

Yang Jun, who was pondering, was suddenly awakened by a voice, and when he looked up, it turned out to be a middle-aged man who looked a little sloppy and was standing in front of him with a large bag of luggage, and a low-quality cigarette was still holding a finger in his left hand.

Needless to say, this guy also ran back from the north, ready to be a submissive citizen in the robot empire.

Yang Jun secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, took out the lighter in his pocket and handed it to him.

The sloppy man thanked him, took the lighter, lit the cigarette, and handed it back.

"I'll give it to you." Yang Jundao.

Seeing that man's dirty hands, Yang Jun felt that he might as well buy another lighter. But unexpectedly, the man stuffed his lighter back and said, "No, you can keep your things!" ”

Yang Jun reached out to take it a little strangely, only to find that in addition to the lighter, the man handed him a small note in the palm of his hand.

"Take care! Good bye! ”

The man waved at him, then dragged his duffel bag away, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
