Chapter 380: The Price of Freedom

"They've got it!"

Andrew looked flustered and shouted something like this.

Who are they?

Su Xia guessed that most of them belonged to the Left Eye Group, but he didn't have the heart to delve into it now.

It's a tense time for the whole city, and a sudden explosion like this is sure to attract the attention of the technologists.

"Let's go!"

Susha grabbed Andrew, turned into an afterimage, and disappeared into the ruins of the garage.

I don't have time to care about anything else now, so let's go!

The kind of 155-mm guided artillery shell that just hit the villa belongs to a special self-propelled gun with extremely high accuracy and an effective firing range of more than forty kilometers.

Su Xia was not in the mood to look for the enemy in this radius of dozens of kilometers, maybe the enemy had not been found, and the mechanical clan would find him first.

Although he already has an anti-stance device, he really doesn't want to go through another bloody battle.

In the process of running, Susha carefully sensed Andrew's whole body.

"Idiot, you can't feel the positioning device that someone else has installed in your leg?" Su Xia scolded.

"Huh?"

Andrew's face turned pale, and he subconsciously wanted to look at his legs.

But now he was being carried by Su Xia, and his speed was also extremely fast, and the spine was under a lot of pressure, as if there were thousands of pounds of boulders pressing in front of him, and he couldn't bow his head at all.

In the next moment, Su Xia raised his hand and made a move, and with a bang, a ring-shaped tracking device broke Andrew's calf, leaving fresh blood stains.

"That's it!"

Su Xia squeezed it hard, and was about to pinch it up, but after thinking about it, he didn't do that, just discarded it casually on the side of the road.

Drop here to attract the opponent's artillery fire.

Speaking of which, it was also his mistake.

He sensed that there was metal in the fat man's leg before, but when he found that it was cylindrical, he thought it was an alloy leg bone, so he didn't care.

It was indeed an alloy leg bone, Andrew had been seriously injured in an explosion in the early years, and the leg bone had to be shattered, and he had to replace it with a metal bone, but this metal bone was topped with an additional ring-shaped tracking device.

This thing was so well made that it blended in with the bones, and even Su Xia was almost deceived.

"Hiss......"

Andrew trembled in pain, after all, it was equivalent to being taken out alive, and a large piece of flesh and skin were torn apart.

Su Xia didn't bother to listen to his wailing, and directly gave him a healing potionist to help him recover from his wounds.

At this moment, not far behind them, another explosion occurred.

"Boom—"

The coordinates of the explosion were exactly where Su Xia had just dropped the positioning device.

Obviously, the other party has been monitoring Andrew's position in real time through the device, and when they found him moving, they knew that he was not killed, so they fired a second shell.

This time, Su Xia carefully sensed the direction in which the cannonball was coming from.

It's from the outskirts of the northwest!

The other side did not dare to set up self-propelled guns in urban areas, after all, there were many people, and they only dared to put them in a no-man's area on the outskirts.

This high-precision and long-range artillery is the perfect tool for carrying out decapitation operations.

"Now that the situation is highly tense, you dare to use this thing, which shows that the other party really wants to kill you."

Su Xia sensed it, and the explosion of the shell just now successfully shattered the positioning device.

In the display of the other party's device, the signal belonging to Andrew probably disappeared like this.

Next, they may send someone to inspect it, or they may simply flee, after all, the cyborgs will soon be attracted by the sound of cannons and cordon off the entire area.

"Remember, you owe me my life."

Su Xia exploded at speed, moved quickly with Andrew, entered the suburb with few people, and after being far away from the area where the explosion had exploded before, he casually found an old house with no one and entered through the window.

He left Andrew in the room, then stood by the window and waited.

"Vomit ......"

In the room, Andrew's face was pale, holding his stomach, lying in the corner retching, nausea and feeling unwell.

This is the negative impact of high-speed movement, and Ding Can and Tiezi also reacted in this way last time.

After a while, he stopped retching and sat down on the floor, barely comfortable.

"Are you done throwing up?"

Su Xia casually summoned a piece of iron, twisted it into the shape of a chair, and then sat on the chair.

He crossed his legs, as if interrogating a prisoner, and said to Andrew, "I have a few questions next, and you answer them seriously." ”

"Yes, sir, you ask."

Andrew nodded repeatedly, not daring to object.

His life is now in Su Xia's hands, and he owes Su Xia a life.

"First question, about those two shells." Su Xia said unhurriedly, "Can you be sure who the other party is?" ”

"Yes, yes."

Andrew replied: "It's definitely the group I'm in, you should know, the Left Eye group." ”

Su Xia asked, "100% sure?" ”

Andrew replied: "Since I have a positioning device on my leg, it must be, they know that I am running away, and they are worried that I will leak secrets, so they want to destroy me." ”

"Destruction? That's an interesting word. Su Xia said.

"Yes, I am also one of the products of the Left Eye Group, so it is appropriate to use the word 'destroy', we are all using this usage internally, and we are used to it."

"What product?"

"Cyborgs."

"Hmmm......"

Susha looked at Andrew, observed carefully, and saw part of Andrew's life experience from the character descriptions that popped up in front of him.

As an android, Andrew has few genetic defects and has shown excellent IQ and physical fitness since he was a child.

As a result, such a good body was stunned by him to look like this vain and obese middle-aged man now.

"Where did you grow up?" Su Xia asked him.

"On the other side of the sea, on another continent, in the underground living quarters of a group branch." Andrew told the truth.

"Cultivated by the group since childhood?"

"Yes, yes, the group will educate us." Andrew said, "I didn't know what it was like outside when I was a kid, and I was with a lot of clone kids of the same age, and we wore the same color of white clothes, and we were centrally managed, and we ate together, we did activities together, and we were educated together......"

Andrew described a strange place.

In his words, it's probably a "nurturing factory", and the top management needs to make the children in the factory what they want them to be.

In the process of growing up, the little friends around him will disappear one after another, and it seems that they have gone somewhere else.

At the age of thirteen, he was lucky enough to be chosen and left the underground factory.

"After that, they began to train me in another direction, and gradually let me take over some things at the bottom." Andrew slowly recounted, "It was also the first time I saw the outside world, and it was a little different from what I imagined. ”

The education when he was a child made a child like him form complex emotions such as curiosity, dependence, and awe about the group itself.

Many people have even become machine-like, only carrying out the orders given to them by the group, not caring whether the orders are good or bad.

Because, in their worldview, except for the people of the group, the rest of the human race in the whole world is not the same race as them, and has nothing to do with them.

The outside world is a different world for them.

Even if the world is destroyed, as long as the group is still there.

Many of them have become alternative dead, just like the security guards Su Xia saw in the landfill.

Their minds are bound to the cage that the group has created for them, and when they leave the group, they have no idea what they are going to do, or rather...... What kind of person do you want to be?

In their minds, they simply do not have their own outlook on life and values.

Andrew was lucky.

His acuity set him apart and he was gradually assigned to work on more agile tasks.

"I was sent here when I was twenty-five years old, and since then I've been going back and forth between the two continents for more than a decade, and I've slowly mixed into what I am now." Andrew said to himself.

"Looks like you're doing pretty well." Susha said.

"Alas, maybe I've been more sleek since I was a child, so I'm suitable for doing this kind of external thing, I always thought that so many years of loyalty have made the group headquarters feel at ease with me, but I didn't expect ......"

Andrew glanced at his calf, and the wound on his leg had not healed.

Before today, he could never have imagined that he actually had a tracking device on his body.

His injuries were seven years ago, that is, during those seven years, his movements were monitored by headquarters.

Fortunately, he has been careful in the past seven years and has not done anything out of the ordinary.

Until today, when he planned to run away, he was targeted by the headquarters and became an unqualified product that needed to be destroyed.

"Alas, a person like me, who looks glamorous on the outside, is in fact not free for life, and will always be an additional product tied to the group."

After experiencing the life and death of that moment just now, Andrew seemed to see a lot and knew everything about Su Xia.

Anyway, he can't go back now, and his future life and death will all depend on Su Xia.

He continued: "I have been subtracting myself all my life, and I don't even dare to have it with my family, so that one day I can be free, leave the group, and then change my face, really integrate into this world, and get rid of all the burdens. ”

Susha said, "Freedom comes at a price. ”

"Yes, Lord Mask, you see it very well."

"Tell us about your group's main business."

"Good ......"

Andrew paused, hugged his calves, and his eyes were empty for a moment, as if he was remembering something.

After a moment, he said, "Mask-sama, you must also know a kind of business, which is to extract those things from living people that can make people live longer. ”

"Can you really live a long life?" Susha asked.

This was a question he had always wanted to know, after all, even the game's built-in system couldn't give an accurate description.

This world follows many basic laws of life, if the elderly here can prolong their lives by absorbing the life materials of the young people, then can the elderly on the other side of the earth do?

Andrew shook his head and said, "Of course not, it's just to deceive those fools and rich people." ”

Su Xia was stunned for a moment and asked, "No effect?" ”

"Nope."

Andrew was sure and explained: "My lord, the substances extracted, such as the so-called 'viviclist', 'renchin', etc., are actually all high-protein liquids, and they have no longevity effect at all. ”

"The rich won't notice?" Susha asked.

"My lord, do you think they are buying a real product?" Andrew said seriously: "Many of them are actually just buying a hope, anyway, they are going to die of old age, it is better to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor." ”

"Buy a psychological comfort?"

"Yes."

"I see."

Su Xia probably understood.

It should be one of the most painful things in the world for people to live and not spend their money.

Many of the rich are eighty or ninety years old, and half of their feet have gone to the grave.

But they are not reconciled, they want to live forever, always stand at the top of this world, and enjoy the pleasures brought to them by power, status, and wealth.

After all, who wouldn't want to live forever?

"In the first half of their lives, most of those people stepped on the heads of the people at the bottom, knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow, frantically squeezing, and constantly gathering the value created by the people at the bottom into their own hands......"

Andrew said: "In the second half of their lives, when they get old, they want to physically 'knock on the bone and suck the marrow', trying to absorb the lives of the people at the bottom to prolong their lives." ”

At the headquarters of the group, there is a special training for the training, teaching Andrew to analyze their psychology of such people.

In the words of their group - those people are going to be vampires twice in their lives, once in the sense of wealth and once in the sense of flesh and blood.

And one of the businesses of their group is to suck the blood of these vampires.

Use the money, connections, power, and more provided to them by these vampires to accelerate the research of the group's headquarters and the group's expansion around the world.

"I got rid of one of your senior buyers, a manor owner, who is in his sixties, but who also looks to be in his forties." Susha said.

"My lord, the youth of the body is easy to maintain."

"How?"

"The products we sell them come with some auxiliary liquids, but it's the ones that really make a difference, which can make them look younger."

Andrew explains: "But what they think is what really makes them young is the so-called 'viviparin' and 'cerebral crestin' and stuff. ”

Su Xia asked, "Won't they notice it?" The richest people should know a lot of high-end pharmacists. ”

"My lord, many rich people don't believe in potions." Andrew continued, "They feel that those drugs have side effects and are poisonous, so they trust our products more, after all, our products are extracted from the human body, and in their opinion, they are 'natural', even if they need to use a small number of auxiliary medicines. ”

"That's right."

"Yes, my lord, to do this business, you need to have enough understanding of the psychology of those rich people."

"Is there any other way to stay young?"

"Yes."

Andrew replied seriously: "We told those buyers that in order to make the product work perfectly, they must quit smoking and drinking, and get up early and go to bed early, keep exercising, and live a healthy life, so that the body can more perfectly absorb all kinds of longevity substances." ”

"If you can stick to these healthy habits for a long time, you will look younger than your peers," Su Xia said. ”

"That's right, that's right."

"So this is a murderous business?"

"Your Excellency, you summed it up brilliantly."

“……”

If it was just to deceive those rich guys, Su Xia would be happy to see it.

However, in order to make the deception real, this group has created kidnapping all over the world, and used cruel means to make those children, women, etc., so that there are many blood debts and deep crimes.

"After so many years, haven't your actions been exposed?" Susha asked.

"My lord, of course it has been exposed, otherwise how could there be so many conspiracy theories? Almost every conspiracy theory has its origins. ”

As we all know, most of the conspiracy theories circulating now have the following characteristics - mysterious organizations, masterminds behind the scenes, terrifying truths, some real events, and so on......

All kinds of legends, which are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, often become a joke in the eyes of many people in the end.

When Susha came into contact with part of the truth about one of them, he realized that this thing could indeed be called a joke.

It's just that too many innocent lives have died for this joke.

There are also too many people who rally around this joke and become a huge community of interests.

According to Andrew, they have faced the risk of being completely exposed several times in recent years, but with the joint efforts of various high-end customers, these risks have been suppressed.

Afterwards, they even funded the production of many literary and artistic works to mock those who tried to reveal the truth, such as "Escape from the Clone World", "Shocking Story", "Assassination of the Leader", etc., many of which won awards.

"My lord, to ordinary people, our group is indeed terrifying, hidden in the depths of the shadows, like a big hand that can only be seen, but ...... You're different, and you'll probably find this ridiculous. Andrew said.

"How?"

"You are already at the top of the world, and with your ability, watching us stir up trouble is like watching children fight."
