Strict air pollution.? Come on,.! Dirty city streets, almost the same as no city management system...... It's hard to imagine that this is a modern city in the interstellar age.

In Shen Chao's view, this is simply a city that exudes the smell of corruption and death everywhere. While the city seems to be functioning normally, it looks more like a ruin that is slowly falling silent.

This is Shen Chao's first feeling about this place, of course, if nothing else, the target they want to recruit this time should be the same as them, incompatible with such a city atmosphere.

At this time, Shen Chao had already put away his umbrella, he was carrying a bag and wearing a black windbreaker to shuttle through the dark streets here, looking for several important plot points that appeared in the movie.

The streets of the city are very peculiar, not only are they narrow, but a lot of places are filled with moving food stalls. If he wasn't very sure that the location here was Los Angeles, Shen Chao would have suspected that this was a famous snack capital in the Celestial Empire.

After some exploration, Shen Chao found an important plot point. According to the just-concluded group newsletter, Dr. Neville and Alice also have some valuable discoveries.

Custer and Jonathan have each found two important government databases and are conducting reconnaissance before infiltrating and stealing information.

In this work, they stole some of the technical information they needed, both public and non-public. Although the information technology of this world is very backward, there are high-tech products such as curvature spaceships.

Custer and Jonathan's mission is to steal the world's vital technological data so that they can replicate it in other high-tech planes.

At this time, Shen Chao was standing on an uninhabited building. The rain kept hitting his face. But he didn't notice that he was looking at a section of steel beam under his feet.

If nothing else, the place where he is standing now is where the final scene of the movie takes place. The Blade Runner would never have imagined that his "prey" would save his life before he died.

Shen Chao stood on the edge of the roof and looked down, the edge of the opposite building was not far from here, but it was more than 5 meters, close to 7 meters. It's much farther than what it looks like in the movie. It seems that both of those two people are much better than the body of Xiàn in the movie.

Thinking of this, he jumped lightly, like a phantom, and jumped over the distance between the rooftops and jumped to the flat roof opposite, which should be the building that their candidate would soon choose to hide......

Shen Chao jumped over. After carefully inspecting the floor, there were no candidates yet, and there was no sign of a shootout. It seems that the timeline is right, and they still have plenty of time to find their target.

It's an old residential area, far from the city center, and the entire neighborhood is home to just a dozen families, and the garbage on the ground is piled up and fermenting in the rain.

Due to the sensitivity of the senses. When Shen Chao was on the roof of the building, he could already smell the rancid smell of those garbage heaps. Now as soon as you leave the building, it is even more unbearable on the street. If it weren't for the need to investigate the scene around here, he wouldn't have stayed here.

Looking at the flickering lights at the end of the street in the distance and the deadly neighborhood at his feet, Shen Chao couldn't help but feel that this world where technological development was too biased. Is the municipal waste management and sewer system at the level of the third brother?

The seemingly endless lights in the distance only accentuated the desolation of the area beneath his feet, where a huge pyramid-shaped building sits in the far center of the city. In the city's luminous glow, the building is even larger.

Even if he was separated by a distance of more than 10 kilometers, Shen Chao could still feel the strange temperament of the building, and the "pyramid", which was at least twice as tall as the surrounding buildings, naturally exuded a momentum of control.

If you use the analogy of the floor area ratio of a building on the main plane. This megastructure is more than enough to accommodate 500,000 people. It was the beginning of a qiē, probably the most important building in the earthly world of this plane, the headquarters of the Taylor Corporation. Taylor is an enterprise that produces biochemical machinery.

The company's most famous product is their chain of cyborgs, which are the pinnacle of this world's application technology.

Before each replicant was created, it underwent a series of complex genetic designs, eliminating one "disadvantage" and adding all the "advantages". The "perfect" human being is finally bred in a culture tank.

These cyborgs, or replicants, have far more intelligence and physical intelligence than ordinary people, and are widely used to develop distant colonies, doing the hardest, most tiring, and most dangerous work, being used as slaves, and only having a lifespan of more than ten years.

Thereupon. Naturally, after many more years of enslavement, the duplicants finally rebelled against the brutal oppression, and the first duplicants took up arms and occupied some of the small farland colonies.

In the remote colonies with harsh environments. The replicants who survived the war with the government gained their meagre freedom, while the rest of the replicants on Earth were slaughtered.

At this stage, the government of Earth issued a policy to limit the production of replicants, and since then all newly produced replicants have only a 4-year design lifespan. to ensure that they can't do much damage in their limited lifespan.

The government has also formed a special forces unit called Blade Runner, which is composed entirely of elite military personnel and SWAT officers among natural persons. Responsible for hunting replicants hidden in populations of natural persons.

The development of technology is supposed to serve people, but in this world, human beings can also be a cheap technological product. The saddest part is that there are also many replicants in Blade Runner, armed with weapons, helping natural people hunt their own people.

Of course, none of these new duplicants knew they were replicants, and they were indoctrinated with false memories that they were natural.

There is also no 4-year limit on their lifespan. This made their comrades unaware that there were replicants in their ranks that they had sworn to kill.

The tragedy is nothing more than that, Shen Chao led the team to recruit these replicants this time. Of course, he needed to make sure that the replicants were in their right minds before recruiting, and he had a very limited number of recruits this time.

Meanwhile, in the center of the city, about 20 kilometers away from him, inside the central police station in the city center, a man in a brown trench coat had just been taken to the chief's office of the police station.

"Hi Deka, I'm sorry to arrest you, but I know you wouldn't have come if I had just called you. Sit down......" said the fat police chief, telling the man who had just come in to sit down.

The man looked at the policeman next to him, but finally sat down with some reluctance. If there is Harrison. Ford fans will be able to recognize this man's face if they see this.

"What are you looking for from me, O'Brien?" After sitting down, the man took the glass from the police chief and asked. It was clear that he knew the police chief opposite.

"I have 4 "fakes" (replicants) on hand, wandering the streets...... "The police chief smiled and began to introduce the problem at hand.

It turned out that he had received word that a group of replicants had entered his jurisdiction and were attempting to infiltrate the headquarters of Taylor Corporation.

The agent he sent to investigate was beaten half to death by one of the replicants before he could get any useful information, and is still lying in the hospital.

"It's not my problem......" The man got up and left, knowing that the director's next words were to let him take over the dangerous job. So he wanted to take a step forward to flash people, but as soon as he stood up, he was stopped by the police on the side.

"Don't be stupid, Deka, you're a little guy now......" The fat sheriff saw that he wanted to leave and immediately threatened him with cruel words, forcing the man to turn around and sit down again.

"No choice, huh? The man asked with a wry smile as he sat down.

"That's right, you don't have a choice. I need you, I need the former Blade Runner......" The fat sheriff smiled, threatening and promised, and finally gave the job to Decca semi-forcedly.

Decca is the elite of Blade Runner, with a successful "retirement rate" that far exceeds that of other colleagues, and he "retires" or kills more than 100 replicants, making him a real first-class master in the industry.

However, he suddenly quit his job, having been tired of killing for a few years. If it weren't for the difficulty of the case this time, the police chief would not have asked him to come out.

Half an hour later, Shen Chao met Alice and Dr. Neville in a luxurious hotel in the center of the city, and they had already found out the background information of several important people and some publicly available technical information.

In the large hotel room, they closed the doors and windows and began to study the information. If there is anything in this world that can be regarded as eye-catching for Shen Chao, it is the decoration technology here.

The whole hotel room is very retro, with Gothic reliefs on the walls on the outside and mixed interior interiors, which is very nostalgic.

Of course, the most important thing is the temperature in the hotel room, which is also very dry, very different from the heavy rain outside.

They rented the most exclusive room in the hotel, so there was nothing to be afraid of in the living environment, and after some security checks, they all took off their wet clothes and changed into dry spare clothes.

In fact, before they came, they also considered wearing civilian clothes in the Mass Effect world, after all, those clothes made of polymer materials are waterproof and breathable, and the comfort is good.

But in order to avoid attracting attention as much as possible, they still brought only ordinary clothes. After changing his clothes, Shen Chao talked to Custer and them again to confirm their progress.

After confirming that they were okay, Shen Chao hung up the communication and began to direct Alice and Dr. Neville to begin integrating the information they had gathered ......)
