Chapter 22: Poor!
Nanci heard Jonny mention the matter of the sixth sense, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "Yes, your sixth sense is indeed very accurate, before you said that you felt that the garbage dump in Yoshii Town emitted a large amount of military waste, which caused the action team we sent to clash with the Akita gang of the islanders, and three people died." and the time when Zhu Tao was injured, you feel that you can replace his mechanical heart with scrap parts, which almost burned his electronic brain; And ......"
"Enough! Say no more! Jonny interrupted Nan Ci, and then responded with an oath: "Sister Nan Ci, you believe me, my sixth sense will be accurate this time!" ”
"That's what you said every time you got into trouble."
Nan Ci glanced at Qiao Ni: "Although Wu Mian has lost his memory, he is very kind by nature, before we were in the process of action, he had already left, but he came back, and told me that people are irrational animals." ”
"Indecent animals?"
Jonny was shocked: "This pervert, he actually insulted you?" ”
"Boom!"
Nanci punched Jonny's head, but he grinned in pain: "You talk nonsense again, be careful that I weld your mouth!" ”
Jonny tapped his throat: "I use a horn to make sounds, and for me, the mouth is just an ornament. ”
"I ......"
Nan Ci didn't want to talk to Joni about this matter anymore, so he changed the topic and said: "We didn't have any clues about the disappearance of synths before, and Wu Mian's arrival at least pointed us in the direction, I have a faint feeling that after his memory is restored, he may be able to provide some clues about Nan Yi, for now, this person is very important to us." ”
"If you want to keep him, I have no objection, but I strongly disagree with him joining the resistance! At least until we get to the bottom of him, I don't approve of your idea! ”
Jonny's tone was unusually serious: "I know you are eager to increase the power of the organization, but keep a person of unknown origin and extraordinary skills by your side, beware of being cocooned!" ”
Nanci knocked on Jonny's metal head: "Are you short-circuiting your brain again?" Do you really think the coalition government will send synths to come to us to go undercover? They can't afford to hire synths to work for them. ”
Jonny asked rhetorically: "The coalition government won't, but what about the oligarchic companies?" ”
When Nan Ci heard this, he frowned slightly and did not refute.
……
The place where Nan Ci talked to Wu Mian was in the canteen of the worker bee base.
The poverty of the life of this organization exceeded Wu Mian's estimates.
It was dinner time, and the thirty or so Worker Bee members and more than eighty synth residents sat around a table made from scrap pieces, each with only two roasted sweet potatoes and a piece of pickle for dinner.
Wu Mian looked at the food he had distributed and asked Nanci, "I remember when I was eating before, didn't you have canned food here?" Why do you usually eat so badly? ”
"Poor!"
Nan Ciyan succinctly spit out a word: "Nowadays, the society uses the digital currency issued by the coalition government, and this currency can be traced, from the day it was issued, whose hands did the money pass, what did it do, the background data is clear, so that we cannot participate in the transaction, otherwise it is easy to be exposed, the coalition government's blockade of us is more serious than you think, we have no land, we can't work, and our sources of income are very limited." ”
Wu Mian said casually: "If you don't have money, you can grab supplies, with your ability, it's very easy." ”
"You have to be clear that our rebels are not terrorists, our purpose is equality, and we are seeking the right to normal existence, not creating an atmosphere of confrontation and terror."
Nan Ci looked at Wu Mian with a serious expression: "Before, we exchanged fire with the police in order to protect ourselves and return to human society, this is just a confrontation with violent organs and bureaucracy, but we will not disrupt the social order, let the coalition government continue to stigmatize us, and make the people reject us even more." ”
"It is ironic that marginalized groups who are excluded from society, who do not have enough to eat, and who live in the open, still have to abide by the order of society."
Wu Mian saw that Nan Ci seemed to be very resistant to his proposal, so he took the initiative to terminate the topic: "Let's get down to business, I'm going to leave this place." ”
Nan Ci asked, "Did you remember something?" ”
"Not really." Wu Mian shook his head: "At present, the only memory I have is the Golden Horse Group, and I am going to start the investigation from this company." ”
"The Golden Horse Group is a technological oligarchy that has a lot of influence not only in Kyoto, but even in the entire federation, and you want to fight them single-handedly, no different from sending them to death."
Nanci shook his head: "I don't recommend that you investigate the Jinma Group privately, and in this matter, we also have a chance to continue to cooperate." ”
Wu Mian was not skilled in peeling the roasted sweet potato: "For example? ”
"If you have no problem with your memory, then the Golden Horse Group is our enemy by buying synths from human traffickers for research."
Nan Ci paused for a moment and continued: "According to our previous information, the crimes committed by the Golden Horse Group are not limited to this, we have always hoped to investigate some useful information and make it public, so as to establish a positive image of our rebels. If you are willing to cooperate, I can ask the headquarters for instructions, and our Linjiang branch will intervene in the investigation. ”
Wu Mian smiled dumbly: "You are all poor like this, and there is a headquarters?" ”
"Under the strong sweep of the coalition government, the living space of synths has almost been squeezed, and it is not easy for us to form a scale in this kind of iron-fisted means."
Nan Ci set his eyes on Wu Mian: "Before you recall any new clues, I suggest that you stay here, firstly, your identity will not be revealed here, and secondly, we can help each other, if you are interested, I can arrange for you to join the resistance." ”
"I can stay for the time being, and as for joining the Resistance, let's put it aside for now." Wu Mian smiled bitterly: "Before figuring out who I am, I don't want to waste my energy on other things. Don't worry, I won't eat for nothing. ”
Wu Mian's refusal made Nan Ci's wariness of him a little lighter: "You can also see that we have taken in a lot of desperate synths here, this is one of our duties, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Wu Mian was noncommittal: "It's already not easy for you guys, and you still take in so many people, is it to facilitate recruitment?" ”
"The biggest difference between synths and robots is that they are human beings, and there are also human emotions and six desires, not everyone is suitable for being soldiers, and most of the weapons they wear are civilian-grade weapons, and we don't have so many weapon modules to distribute to them."
Nan Ci shook his head: "In the ranks of the rebels, there is no such thing as forced recruitment. ”
Wu Mian took a bite of the peeled potatoes and did not dwell on the topic: "At the site of the sewage tunnel before, I asked you to bring back the shoes of the attacker, did you conduct an inspection?" ”
