Although the Tiehua Regiment's settlement was built underground, there was no shortage of light sources here.

Whether it's the moss that is deliberately cultivated on the underground canopy, or the street lamps that rely on solar panels on the surface, they can keep the settlement from falling into the darkness that cannot be reached.

Although all of Tiehuatuan's settlements were built underground, they were no different from surface cities in terms of urban planning.

The buildings are divided into districts in an orderly manner, and there are enough roads for pedestrians, and the paved roads are divided into roadways and sidewalks according to needs, and there are even mechanical parts shops run by mechanics, machine repair shops, hospitals run by life medicine doctors, and some storefronts selling food and recycling garbage.

Except for the limited height space of the underground, the inability to build overpasses to improve the traffic environment, and the inability to build high-rise buildings, the look and feel here is not much different from living in a brightly lit bustling city.

Vehicles can often be seen coming and going on the roadway, some are full of people traveling around the city and its surrounding development areas according to the planned route, and some are loaded with goods from the suburbs outside the settlement, and all kinds of raw materials produced in the suburbs are sent into the city, but these vehicles are stitched together with parts, and even the shell of the car is often welded by several alloy plates of different models, specifications and color sizes.

Although the vehicles all look strange, they all have one thing in common: there is no driver to drive.

Because drivers implant their brains in their vehicles.

In this way, they can work harder, earn more pay and resources, send their children to a better education, buy better mechanical parts or genetic means to modify them, and do not have to be like them: they have to sell their organs and limbs, adapt their brains to neural control circuits, be imprisoned in steel and mechanical cages all day long to feed themselves and their families, no longer be able to hug their loved ones, no more delicious food, no more crying and laughing, To be deprived of what you should have as a human being.

In order to survive, the people here have been transformed to a greater or lesser extent. Wearing a baseball cap and a loose jacket, Zhao Xida put her hands in her pockets, seemingly wandering aimlessly on the street, but in fact, the pair of inorganic eyes hidden by the brim of the hat have been capturing the information of the surrounding pedestrians with high intensity, and with several detection devices in her body, she is secretly observing the pedestrians in the settlement.

According to her observations, the colonies, from the adults on the move to the ignorant babies in swaddling clothes, have undergone at least one transformation of their bodies.

This technology can completely get cells out of the conventional metabolic mode, so that the cells of carbon-based organisms no longer rely on oxygen, ingestion and decomposition of nutrients to survive, but like an electrified electronic machine, directly relying on electrical energy to maintain cell activity and supply daily biological consumption.

In short, organisms that have undergone complete cell modification can survive even if they don't eat or drink for the rest of their lives as long as they hold a shark-shaped electromagnetic power bank and keep charging themselves.

But the cost of this kind of transformation is often very expensive, the complete transformation of a natural person is enough to make an ordinary survivor's family bankrupt, many people can only afford the most basic transformation, and this transformation under the electrical energy can only replace at most 10% of their daily energy consumption, so there will be so many people who sell their organs and limbs, only transform the brain, and then put the brain into the nutrient solution.

In this era, the natural person who can maintain his original body and not undergo any transformation has become a luxury privilege.

Even extreme natural person fundamentalists such as the Brotherhood of Proto-Humans have been more or less modified by genetic technology in order to survive.

Hey, kids in baseball caps over there! Just as Zhao Xida was wandering aimlessly on the street, about to turn into a remote alley, a loud voice behind her stopped her.

Zhao Jida retracted the steps she was about to take, turned her head a little puzzled, and saw a burly man in a black uniform and a big cap walking towards her.

The moment the security officer of the security team saw this outfit, Zhao Jida judged the identity of the other party: Why did you stop me? The anomaly of the puppet's body? Or am I breaking the rules of the settlement?

As multiple thoughts weaved through her thought circuits, the vigilante had already stepped in front of her.

His expression was serious, and there seemed to be a fierce light in his eyes staring at Zhao Xida condescendingly: Where is the guardian of your family?

Zhao Xida looked up at the security officer and tilted her head in confusion, a little bit unsure why the other party asked such a question, but the inorganic eyes and expressionless face were mistaken for a frightened expression in the latter's eyes.

Well, I mean, it's not very safe here, and it's dangerous for kids to go out alone. The vigilante, realizing that he might have scared her, tried to temper his tone and expression, but to no avail. The distorted expression and strange tone became more powerful to scare crying children under his well-intentioned thoughts.

But Zhao Jida is neither a child, nor will she be scared by this, after explaining, she has understood what the other party meant, shook her head and answered concisely and clearly: He was at home and did not come out together.

Did you sneak out?

Zhao Jida shook her head: I said hello to him, and he let me come out.

Monkey business! The security officer's voice and tone raised a few degrees at once, but he immediately realized that his emotions might frighten Zhao Xida, frowned and lowered his voice again: Obviously, there have been several announcements, and the child must be accompanied by a guardian when he goes out, where is your home? I'll send you back now, and by the way, educate that irresponsible guardian of your family.

I have to think of a reason to get rid of this nosy person Zhao Jida thought like this, the camera in her eyes zoomed in slightly, but she still played her role faithfully: But I still have to buy it

However, the security officer didn't listen to her defense at all, and waved his hand: It's nothing, the security force has been insufficient recently, and there have been frequent evil incidents in this area, not to mention you as a child, even mechanically transformed adults are in danger of walking into remote places, which direction is your home, I will send you back!

The tone is firm, the expression is serious, and it doesn't look like he will be persuaded no matter how you look at it.

Zhao Jida also analyzed the other party's firm conclusion from the expression on the face of the security officer, and had to give up the original plan of finding a reason to slip away in line with the idea of making fewer troubles, and obediently pointed in one direction: My home is over there

I was sent back this time, so it's a big deal to find a chance to come out next time, and I can also take this opportunity to take a closer look at the human heart model.

The puppet girl thought to herself, and changed her purpose.

At the same time, on another street.

Wu Ming strolled out of the apartment with the crimson queen in his hand, and Elizabeth ran away since she walked out of the apartment building, running around the street excitedly with a curious baby, and every store had to go up to take a look, just like a husky who had been at home for several days, and as soon as she was taken downstairs, she broke free from the rope and went to have fun

Big Brother Big Brother! You see! That shop actually sells mechanical prosthetics and solar panels! Shall we buy some for the dolls?

Wow! The energy bars in that store look delicious! And compressed biscuits and beef jerky! Big Brother Big Brother! Can you buy some for me to taste! Just 100 million points! It's really 100 million points!

Cyberman charging stations? What is this for? Interface? Is it a meal when you have electricity? Woo evil

Elizabeth could often be heard shouting in the streets, as if a stone from another world could surprise her.

You don t want to run too far Watching Elizabeth run farther and farther, Wu Ming greeted in the spiritual link, If you don't run away, you will have to go home by yourself

Elizabeth's deliberately prolonged reply came from the Good Spirit Link, as well as a large pile of silly emotions.

I don't feel like I've listened to it at all, even if I forget it, wandering around the street like this is also a kind of investigation, maybe I can just run into Lao Zhao.

Wu Ming comforted himself and justified his actions.

Big brother, can you go in that direction and have a look? It was at this time that I was hugged

The laptop in her arms emitted an electronic synthesized sound, and the crimson queen on the screen pointed in the direction to the right, where there was a seemingly deep, remote alley, with exposed metal pipes and wooden boxes piled up at the mouth of the alley, making it difficult for ordinary people to pass.

Wu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and through the gaps in the debris, he could see that this alley was very deep, and there were several forks, like an intricate maze entrance, and in the depths of the alley, there seemed to be a faint inaudible sound

There was a scream

The Scarlet Queen's expression was a little complicated, and she didn't know how to describe what she saw, so she could only nod her head and said anxiously: Well, hurry up, they are in danger now, and they may die in a while

Boom!

Without waiting for the crimson queen to finish speaking, Wu Ming kicked open the wooden boxes and sundries blocked in the alley, said hello to Elizabeth in the spiritual link, and rushed into the alley with her in his arms, and then the transparent and invisible shield unfolded, expanded, squeezed and crushed the debris blocking the passage, and the whole person turned into a black shadow that exceeded the speed of ordinary people, and quickly walked through the intricate alleys in the direction of the source of the sound, and it didn't take long to find a spacious mezzanine hidden in the deep alley building.

However, as soon as he rushed into this mezzanine area, the first thing he saw was a young child covered in blood, his limbs twisted and lying on the ground, and a giant spider-like machine with eight slender mechanical feet, was using several slender mechanical feet to tightly fix a convulsive barrel machine, the latter's canopy used to protect the brain had been opened, a mechanical foot pierced into it and stirred, the nutrient solution inside had already been spilled on the ground, and the perpetrator's presumptuous but without any emotional ups and downs of electronic synthesizing sounds were also constantly coming out.

Called. Keep screaming. Hahahahaha. Didn't you just scream so happily?
