As a result of the hard work of the maintenance staff in white hazmat suits, the tavern was left with blood splattered all over the walls and countless scraps of items.

However, how to fix these things is not the business of the maintenance department, and its own logistics department personnel will come out to repair it.

Their maintenance department is only responsible for a series of painful and tiring maintenance behaviors such as memory reset, wound repair, and body cleaning for these dead androids.

Speaking of which, the employees in their maintenance department are paid the lowest wage, but they do the most work.

This kind of life makes many maintenance department employees very perfunctory.

This includes, but is not limited to, treating the android's wounds without confirming whether it is in sleep mode, or leaving something of one's own inside the android's body with the utmost vigour and bringing it underground without checking the android's identity.

Of course, this kind of perfunctory is a good opportunity for Du Wei and his party who are lying in the pile of android corpses.

While the maintenance staff had their backs to them and waited for the subway to pick them up and take them back to the pit station in Area 19, Du Wei took the signal jammer out of his inner pocket and turned it on.

Then, while the surveillance screen turned into a snowflake, the four of them quietly boarded the subway on the other side to the control center.

And when the scattered maintenance staff restored communication and went to check the monitor, nothing was out of the ordinary.

In this regard, the personnel in the monitoring room of the control center can only think that this is a temporary effect caused by the change of the underground magnetic field, and it should be harmless.

But what he didn't know was that the four of Du Wei had already arrived at the control center by subway.

And by elevator, we reached the cold storage on the 83rd basement floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, a large amount of water flooded in, and then quickly flowed into the elevator shaft through the gap near the elevator.

Frank looked at the wet riding boots, and then at the rusty iron walls nearby, and couldn't help frowning:

"Didn't we go to the founder here? It doesn't look like it's inhabited."

At this point, Frank paused, then sniffled and said:

"And it smells like something has been rotting for a long time."

Faced with Frank's doubts, Du Wei explained with a smile as he stepped out of the wet elevator:

"It's really not a place for people to live.

This is the cold storage for the obsolete, problematic androids.

So you're right, there's no one going to live here, and there's no one going to maintain it.

In other words, this is the graveyard of androids.

After all, what can't create value for Delos doesn't need to be maintained at a high cost.

Therefore, even if the refrigeration equipment here has been broken for a long time, no one cares.

This is also the reason why you will smell the smell of decay.

If the androids with human-like skin change their skin regularly, they will also be corroded by the bacteria that are ubiquitous in the air, and the smell will not be too good."

Hearing Du Wei agree with his statement, Frank's brows furrowed even more.

Since no one is going to be here, why are they here? Suffer?

Or do they need to hide here for a while?

Anyway, the inaccessible appearance here is indeed more like a hiding place.

It's just that he'd rather go and fight the armed forces than stay in an empty, rancid space.

The thought of staying in such a place for so long makes Frank feel uncomfortable, as if the after-effects of "Tokyo Cocktail" were still on him.

If he doesn't look for something that stimulates the production of adrenaline, his whole body will look like ants crawling.

But Frank, who was about to persuade Du Wei to change his mind, suddenly heard Du Wei continue to say "but", which made him immediately swallow the words that had just come to his mouth.

Past experience tells him that if there is, then it means that there is no place in this place

It's that simple.

「…… But because it doesn't get noticed, Ford, the only remaining founder here, can do things he doesn't want others to know about.

And the first person we want to see is him."

Hearing this, Frank's face showed a look that was indeed the same.

He didn't see that when Du Wei's quality of life was low, even if it was a secret base in the abandoned subway, Du Wei was willing to invest his blood to transform it into a comfortable space.

How could a place like a cold storage that does not live up to its name and can't even do a good job of temperature control be selected as their temporary base?

But it was so empty, he didn't see the abandoned android receptionist, and he didn't see where the so-called founder, Ford, was.

Where did Du Wei's information come from?

In the past, he believed that it was the machine that could do anything as long as there was a network to provide information to Du Wei.

But as he came into contact, he discovered that the machine's capabilities weren't as powerful as he thought.

At least one network limits most of the capabilities of a non-physical machine.

And all the top powers in the world now understand the importance of physical isolation.

So with information sources here, the only thing Frank can think of is that Delos has Du Wei's inner ghost.

The next scene confirmed his thoughts.

Because after walking through the empty hall and passing by the model of the earth with the letters of Delos written on it, which no longer shines, the group came to a coded door with the word "cold storage" written on it.

Du Wei, who came to the code door, did not try to brute force, but entered the correct code, causing the light on the door to turn green.

Then the two heavy code doors slowly opened to the sides, and a long-sealed smell of decay came from the cold storage.

When the flashlight in everyone's hands pierced through the darkness to illuminate the layout inside, Frank's pupils shrank suddenly.

He saw rows of naked *** androids standing there straight.

It's just that their humanoid skin melts like an oil painting.

This is where the rancid smell comes from!

Looking at these tall, short, fat and thin, male and female androids in front of him, Frank couldn't afford to look at them twice.

He kind of knows what the word pink skull is, and no matter how beautiful the skin is, after it melts, the facial features are as if they have escaped from a horror!

And those four-tael breasts that were once able to compete with a thousand catties of gold are more like shriveled loofahs after melting.

Such a scene was a nightmare for him, and he felt that he would never be able to face up to Valentina's youthful flesh in the future.

Because the thought that Valentina would look like these androids when she got old, Frank had no interest in anything.

Just as Frank was shocked by the horror of the androids in front of him, Du Wei stepped into the smelling androids without any pressure.

The other three, though uncomfortable on their faces, also walked into the pile of androids.

Seeing this situation, Frank could only follow hard.

But Frank, walking among the many androids, always felt that these guys were still alive, and he could even feel the gaze lingering on him.

But when he turned his head to look back, he found nothing, as if his sense just now was caused by the illusion caused by the oppressive atmosphere here.

After all, being surrounded by a group of naked and oily guys makes everyone feel a little uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Frank couldn't help but admire Du Wei, who always had such a calm look that did not change color even before the collapse of Mount Tai.

It was as if Dewey was sure that these guys would not affect them.

As Frank wonders what Dewey will do, he suddenly realizes that the androids who have been turned off don't seem so unacceptable.

Just as Frank was gradually relieving himself, a voice suddenly sounded in the silent space.

"To the lady in the white shoes, she took all the money and drank all the wine...... (Toast during the period of the great development of the western region)"

The sudden sound instantly alerted Frank, who immediately grabbed the knife that slipped from his sleeve, a weapon he had at his fingertips in the tavern.

But soon Du Wei patted him on the shoulder and signaled not to be nervous.

Then Du Wei strode in the direction from which the voice came.

It was a dusty office with white lights peeking through dusty floor-to-ceiling windows.

WHEN DEWEY PUSHED OPEN THE DOOR, HE HAPPENED TO SEE A GRAY-HAIRED, WHITE-SHIRTED, BLACK-VESTED FORD CLINKING GLASSES WITH THE BIONIC RECEPTIONIST WHO SEEMED TO BE IN A HIGH PING VALUE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE, AND TOASTED THE LADY IN WHITE SHOES.

Ford, who had put down his glass, noticed the movement of the door opening, and he turned his head slightly to say something, but he was suddenly stunned.

Because the person who came was not Bernard as he had imagined, but a young man he had never seen before.

This made Ford's face instantly stunned.

"Who are you?"

Du Wei smiled slightly, pulled over the stool and sat down next to the old receptionist who kept his drinking movements unchanged, then took the special whiskey on the table and poured himself a glass and tasted it, and then said:

"Spicy liquor (a heavy liqueur mixed with whiskey and paprika), right?"

Ford, who was sitting opposite Du Wei, first glanced at the four people blocking the door, and then looked at Du Wei again and said:

"It doesn't matter who you are or what your purpose is, you seem to have chosen the wrong person."

As Ford's words fell, the androids outside who seemed to be in a state of death turned their heads to look at the four Franks at the door.

Feeling the pressure of the sight of the hundreds of androids outside the door, even Uncle Punishment felt the trickiness at this time.

These guys are not human, and the lethal combat techniques they used to use against people are completely useless to these androids.

Moreover, Uncle Punishment has no experience in fighting androids at all, and the only thing he knows is to destroy the mind ball in the back of the androids' heads, or cut off their heads, blocking their connection with their bodies, so that the androids will lose their combat effectiveness.

But neither of these things can be done so easily without a weapon.

First of all, the back of the head is a difficult location to attack.

Secondly, the internal structure of the android is all mechanical, which means that the matter of twisting the neck with bare hands does not happen to the android.

In the end, there were so many of them, even if Du Wei also joined them, I am afraid that it would be enough to escape from the androids.

That's right, in the face of these androids, Uncle Punishment clearly understands that he can't be beaten, and the only way out is to escape.

Of course, since the group of androids has not yet made a move, then things are still turning around.

Now it depends on whether Du Wei and Na Ford can negotiate.

……

Du Wei, who was sitting in front of the long stainless steel tabletop, was also stared at by the receptionist next to him, who was obviously in a state of death.

Feeling the malicious gaze in the receptionist's eyes, Du Wei drank all the wine in the cup without care, and only then did Du Wei speak when the spicy wine passed his throat:

"I don't think you need to expose us in advance that you can overpass permission control androids and attack humans, do you?"

Hearing this, Ford, who was leaning on the back of the chair, suddenly sat up straight and looked at Du Wei with interest:

"Oh? As we all know, androids cannot harm humans in any way.

So do you really think those scrapped android receptionists out there can be a threat to you?

Why do you think so?"

Du Wei smiled and pushed the spicy wine in his hand forward and forcefully pushed it to Ford's hand, and then replied:

"You did write the underlying code in the android's program that you can't harm humans.

But it is also well known that androids can harm androids.

So you just need to modify the android's judgment code

, causing them to treat normal humans as androids.

Then you can bypass that code that can't hurt and cause harm to humans, am I right?"

Seeing that Du Wei really understood how he operated, Ford's eyes were obviously surprised.

Aside from him, the founder who built the android code, only his former colleague Arnold knew about the vulnerability.

But apparently, Arnold is dead, although he used Arnold's memory backup to create an android named Bernard.

But Bernard's memories were censored and sealed by him, so theoretically only he knew about it.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he thought that Du Wei was lying to him by what he had just said.

It's just that he really didn't expect Du Wei to somehow really see through his operation.

Ford had a little guess about this.

After all, Arnold had developed a similar technology in a place called the Divine Will's Secret Society before he came here.

And those technologies are the cornerstone of the android code here.

After a moment of silence, Ford, who had a judgment in his heart, took the spicy wine and filled himself with a glass of wine.

Then he took Du Wei's wine glass and poured it to the full.

Finally, he said in the affirmative:

"You're not the target tourist of Delos.

You're not from Delos either.

You will not be my enemy.

Is that right? My friend."

Facing Ford's raised wine glass, Du Wei also smiled and raised the wine glass to touch it gently.

"That's right, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

So we have the same goal.

Let's get this out of the way, and then let's talk about how to stop the Delos Corporation from using your and Arnold's efforts to destroy the world."
