"There's still an hour to go to the shelter." After being silent for about half an hour, Chi Lei finally spoke again.

Ding Zepeng sniffed and hummed hoarsely.

Floating motorcycles rustled the grass. After entering the complex terrain and relatively dense bushes, the last drone finally gave up tracking and disappeared behind the four people. As dawn approached, the sky turned from dark blue to ultramarine, with a slight whitish in the east.

"Zhang Yazhe's choice is wise."

Perhaps it was because Ruan Xian's arms were too tight around his waist, and Tang Yibu's tone revealed a sense of suffocation. His voice was not loud, and was blown away by the oncoming wind.

"If you want to forcibly take someone away in that situation, you can only stun him. If you remove an important combat power and add a comatose adult male, the difficulty of action will increase exponentially."

"I know." Ruan Xian replied dully. He and Tang Yibu were originally unstable factors outside the master brain's monitoring. If you make the movement too big and cause the main brain's vigilance, then it will really be detrimental to the entire area.

He understands, but

Ruan Xian tightened his arms unconsciously, and Tang Yibu spit out a sound similar to a balloon leaking, "Please don't continue to restrain me, I also have internal organs in my body."

"Feel sorry."

As soon as the voice fell, Chi Lei, who was driving in front, suddenly braked suddenly, Tang Yibu turned the front of the car horizontally, and stopped immediately.

"There is something ahead." Chi Lei hissed and threw a nut forward. Like hitting an invisible soft wall, the metal nut that was supposed to fly away fell vertically into the grass. "It's not a full-coverage barrier, what's specifically targeting us"

The dark forest suddenly became bright. The dark part between the tree trunk and the tree trunk climbed to blood red, and countless crimson circles lit up around them, and the floating ghosts moved in small increments. These things surrounded them at some point, and the whole process was silent.

As a first-class explorer of the sanctuary, Chi Lei's reaction was astonishingly fast. He raised his hand and smashed a device with a large bowl opening. The blue light on the edge of the device turned on, and the red circles went out all together, like a multi-eyed monster closing all eyes at the same time. At the same time, there were also two air bikes that stalled, and the smooth bottom of the motorcycles hit the grass.

"E bomb, low-level mechanical equipment loses its function for five minutes." Chi Lei moved the rear of the car, "231, manually restart the airbike, you have thirty seconds left."

"Where are we going?" Ding Zepeng jumped out of the back seat of the car and held the suitcase tightly in his arms, his voice full of confusion.

"I don't know, but we have to keep moving." Chi Lei responded annoyed, carefully following the tangled wires in his hands.

This can't be done, Ruan Xian's thinking quickly turned.

It is good that the predicted variables appear in the experiment, and no researcher can tolerate powerful unknown factors wandering on their own turf. He and Tang Yibu probably had the strength to repel these things, but in the surveillance range of u01, they had to dance in shackles. This high probability is not the only wave of chasing soldiers, and there must be a suitable plan that can ensure the safety of everyone, and will not make the entire escape plan "beyond the scope of human ability" and attract the attention of the master mind.

Ruan Xian tucked his wet hair behind his ears and stared at Chi Lei, who was a few steps away and started his motorcycle with a gray face. The other party's spirit doesn't seem to be very concentrated, and it is estimated that he can't stop thinking about Zhang Yazhe and the replica.

and many more. Since Zhang Yazhe was able to successfully deceive the machine, the machine that just hit took a long time to catch up with them after they escaped. The mastermind's pursuers should not have the ability to pinpoint their location.

"Tang Yibu, three questions." Ruan Xian glanced at the surrounding environment, his voice was as low as a whisper. "Can the master brain have real-time access to our life and death situations?"

"According to my observation, if there is no detection machine to detect the corpse, it will take at least 12 hours after the body dies, and the black box will be completely deactivated." Tang Yibu quickly connected the wire, with a pleasant soft sound, The operation panel of the airbike lights up again. "If the person is in the signal blind area, the parsing process will be extended to about 24 hours."

"The S-Type Initiator allowed me to be, um, destroyed to what extent"

This time, Tang Yibu glanced sideways at Ruan Xian, "Unless a special attack is made on the brain, as long as it is not smashed into pieces and broken up, it can theoretically recover."

Ruan Xian's expression froze, he stretched out his hand, pointed to the dark corner, and threw the last question, "Is that hill far enough from the city? Can you block and rewrite the information transmitted to u01 there?"

"The distance is enough. But if the other party has high intelligence, the information block may be detected. By the way, now is a good opportunity for us to retreat."

"Brother Chi, go to the hill." At the moment when Chi Lei successfully started the motorcycle, Ruan Xian shouted out the words, obviously not intending to retreat much. "Come with me"

Chi Lei stepped on the motorcycle and looked at him with red eyes. He lowered his face and was silent for a few seconds, looking like he wanted to refute a few words out of habit. However, when he opened his mouth, he just spit out the simple word "lead the way."

Tang Yibu smacked his lips, took the lead in starting the floating motorcycle, and rushed towards the dark hill in the night.

Just a few minutes after they set off, there was a humming mechanical sound behind them. The machine that just flashed red emerged from the bushes, revealing four familiar animal-like mechanical legs in the moonlight, in the shape of a large hunting dog. Those chasing behind looked like the squad's police auxiliary machine, only the color of the aperture was different.

Their backs arched slightly, and several shooter drones came out of the metal, leaving eye-catching grooves.

"Mechanical police dog." Chi Lei muttered, "Xiao Ding"

"learn"

Ding Zepeng spun around on the speeding motorcycle and sat upside down on the seat. He took out the long gun behind him and neatly tied the suitcase to his waist with a gun belt. The whole process took less than ten seconds. After stabilizing his posture, he didn't shoot every shot indiscriminately, and a mechanical police dog or drone fell out of the high-speed chase.

However, the speed of the mechanical police dogs was still faster. In less than five minutes, the most leading ones stuck out their guns and tried to set fire to Chi Lei's floating motorcycle.

It's a pity that the ammunition flew halfway in the air, and then hit the lasing bullet, which exploded like fireworks in the air. Ruan Xian couldn't turn around like Ding Zepeng did. He wrapped one arm tightly around Tang Yibu's waist, turned his body sideways, and shot black bullets from the blood gun in his hand, shooting down all the oncoming ammunition.

In the slightly harsh explosions and air waves, Chi Lei just followed Tang Yibu's rear quietly, like a colorful ghost.

"Here" to the steep side of the mountain wall, Ruan Xian jumped off the motorcycle first. He threw an energy canister and the bullet detonated, blowing up the nearest rows of mechanical police dogs.

Tang Yibu grabbed the back of Ruan Xian's clothes with one hand and climbed up the cliff with one hand. Chi Lei and Ding Zepeng followed closely. After climbing to the top of the cliff, Ding Zepeng rushed down and fired a few shots, destroying all the drones that were trying to stick up.

"Brother Chi, do you still have infrared camouflage?" Ruan Xian asked specially when Chi Lei was as quiet as a stone.

"Four more."

"Enough, we still have six here. Not counting the heat of the hoverbike, just start two at a time, and it should be able to cover four people." Ruan Xian motioned for everyone to get into the cave.

"What if I get stuck inside?" Chi Lei finally frowned, returning to his usual meanness.

"I know the way." A place with air movement smells quite different from a dead end.

"Isn't this the boss's favorite hill?" Ding Zepeng put his suitcase behind his back and put one hand on the rock wall.

"Well." Ruan Xian walked at the end. "Large machines can't get into this kind of hole. The structure of the cave is complicated, and it is suitable for each person to destroy. It is close to the shelter, and blowing up the entire mountain will cause panic in the shelter.

"But it won't give up so easily." Chi Lei sighed softly.

"I know." Ruan Xian twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the sound of metal rubbing from behind him.

Seeing everyone get into the cave, the mechanical police dogs changed their strategies. Incendiary bombs capable of draining oxygen were blasted one by one, and gravel and sand slid down the mountain wall. However, under the leadership of Ruan Xian, the four of them were as slippery as loaches in a ditch, drilling to and fro in the ant-like cave. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer mechanical police dogs that can keep up with them

Ruan Xian suddenly signaled everyone to stop and hide in the shadow of the rock wall.

His sense of smell and hearing brought back an extremely ridiculous news at the same time, Ruan Xian turned his head and looked at the thick darkness behind them.

"Someone is after us."

Ding Zepeng was so terrified that he stopped breathing, Chi Lei frowned so much that he could kill the mosquitoes, only Tang Yibu was indifferent.

"It's not an ordinary machine. It's a human, or a android with human organs. He is surrounded by mechanical police dogs, he is commanding the mechanical police dogs." Seeing the light of the incendiary bomb once again piercing the darkness not far away, Ruan Xian calmed down. "This way, hurry up"

Tang Yibu glanced at the familiar rock crevice in front of him, and raised his eyebrows at Ruan Xian. They just came here a few days ago.

Ruan Xian did not respond to Tang Yibu's scrutiny. Without hesitation, he took out the rope ladder from the base of the old tree, measured the position with his footsteps for a while, and fixed it at the place closest to Tian He's body. Ding Zepeng just wanted to come over, but was stopped by Ruan Xian's gesture.

Ruan Xian took out his pocket and divided the infrared camouflage on his body into two more. "Have you seen the cave on the stone wall over there, you and Brother Chi hide there. Turn on all the infrared camouflages, and keep quiet. Wait for the chasing soldiers to leave, and return to the shelter immediately."

"Brother Ruan, but you"

"I won't go back." Ruan Xian responded calmly, spitting out lies extraordinarily fluently. "I remembered what happened before the injury, Xiao Ding, I still have my tasks, this time just to help."

"I have a mission." Ding Zepeng wiped his nose and took it all honestly, "Then, remember to come back and have a look when you have time."

Chi Lei didn't say anything, just gave Ruan Xian a deep look.

Seeing that the two were well hidden, Ruan Xian carefully listened to the approaching footsteps of the approaching person, stepped on the rope ladder, and stared at the cave closest to the crevice. Tang Yibu was half-squatting by the crevice of the rock, with a look that was close to watching the excitement.

Several mechanical hounds drilled out of the hole and charged like lightning. Ruan Xian took a deep breath, lowered his head, and shouted at the deserted crevice, "Xiao Ding, Lao Chi, run and they're catching up!"

Before the end of his words landed, several incendiary bombs blew down the cracks in the rock. For a while, the dark cracks in the rock were filled with scorching light, and bursts of smoke and flames erupted, like the entrance to hell. The powerful impact from bottom to top lifted Ruan Xian flying, he vacated for half a second, and then slammed into the ground.

"Report, the remains of two human male skeletons were found at the bottom." Amidst the collapse of the rock crevice, the cold and inorganic voice of the machine sounded.

Hearing the sound of the soles of the boots running over the stone chips, Ruan Xian quickly turned over and got up, supporting Tang Yibu. He didn't turn his head to see the man's appearance, but ran unsteadily to the farther exit.

A muffled sneer came from behind him.

"There is one left." The man muttered, his voice slightly familiar. "Chase."

Ruan Xian ran along the outside moisture. The breathing method that Zhang Yazhe had taught him was very useful. This time, the pain like a knife cut in the lungs appeared very late. The artillery fire of the drone and the mechanical police dog was blocked by the curved rock wall. Ruan Xian dutifully played the image of fleeing for his life and did not fight back.

Tang Yibu ran beside him, looking a little inexplicably excited.

"I think I know what you're going to do next." He said, wrapping his arms around Ruan Xian's waist, and quickly ran towards the shelter.

Ruan Xian opened his eyes in surprise.

"How far do you want to run?" Tang Yibu adjusted his arms and hugged Ruan Xian in front of him.

"Go to the tallest tree over there." Ruan Xian replied.

"You're shaking again."

"Nobody likes to be killed."

"But you still came up with this strategy." The darkness faded, and in the gradually clear air, Tang Yibu announced calmly. "As expected of that Ruan Xian's work, you are completely a machine dedicated to serving human beings."

"" Ruan Xian remained silent.

They were getting closer and closer to the tallest tree, Tang Yibu deliberately slowed down, put down Ruan Xian, and pretended to lack strength. Ruan Xian pretended not to care about him and stumbled to the shelter.

The mechanical hounds followed one by one, and they passed Tang Yibu as if he was just some mushroom-covered stump in the forest. The beasts made of metal rushed towards Ruan Xian, who was running in front. The bullets poured from behind like a torrential rain. His lungs and heart were instantly pierced, and his chest almost became a honeycomb.

Ruan Xian fell to the ground, his face buried in the grass. The sanctuary uniform he wore was stained black and red with blood, which quickly spilled into the nearby grass.

That's enough damage and blood to kill.

"The heart has been completely destroyed. There is no record of this sample in the database, do you save it and copy it?" Behind him, the cold mechanical sound sounded again.

"No need." The voice of the person who came didn't take a breath, and obviously had his own way of transportation. "I know this person. He is brave and has a mediocre resume, so luck and marksmanship make do. His connection is estimated to be Zhang Yazhe, the new leader of the shelter arranged by Zhang Yazhe. It is good to take this opportunity to beat him. Save him Take yourself too seriously, thinking that anyone who dies can be sent back."

"Yes." The mechanical voice replied flatly.

Very good, Ruan Xian quietly breathed a sigh of relief. At present, the other party's judgment is completely consistent with his conjecture.

"Remove the blockade here. a07, a08 to clean up the cracks just now, remove the smell and traces of burning, don't attract the attention of the shelter. b45, automatically generate a draft report. By the way, call a few cockroaches over and let them eat here. Clean." The hem of the man's clothes brushed over the blades of grass, making a rustling sound. "Prepare to return."

Ruan Xian held his breath and continued to pretend that his uniform was blood-stained and tattered, but the body under the uniform had already recovered, and all the blood on his body had been recovered. Pain is pumped into the blood, the blood vessels leading them to the limbs. Not daring to tremble or scream, Ruan Xian forced himself to stick to the soil, imagining that he had long since died, rotting like a leaf full of insect eyes.

The drone was still buzzing slightly above, and a mechanical police dog stepped on Ruan Xian's back. The heartbeat hit his eardrums, and the blades of grass rubbed against his ears with a thunderous noise. He grabbed the air little by little from the gap between his teeth, for fear that the sound of his heartbeat would attract the attention of any machine.

Counting the time, Ding Zepeng and Chi Lei should be able to run to the foot of the mountain. As long as they maintain the infrared camouflage, it will not be a problem for them to return to the shelter according to their abilities. Even if the survival of the two is investigated afterwards, everything can be explained by the known information of the shelter.

The boots trod across the grass in a slow rhythm, and the sound faded away. The roar of machinery in the distance is getting louder and louder, and the man is probably about to leave.

Go quickly. Ruan Xian repeated desperately in his heart.

But the damn boots stopped abruptly, and took a step in place that sounded like a turn.

"Interesting, why does sample 897 still have a life reaction?"

"Warning, warning. Implanting a sample with a sensing device other than an auxiliary chip is a violation of the rules of confidentiality."

"Article 64, I know. Just a sample, the master will not be too dissatisfied." The man responded coldly, "I am willing to be punished, isn't it that the service period is extended for a year. Now give me a new blockade of this mountain. , things are fraudulent, I'll go back and have a look."

Then the sound of the boots disappeared, and the rumble in the air quickly moved away.

Oops.

After confirming that the other party could not find him, Ruan Xian quickly sat up. Tang Yibu was already standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile.

"Now, I guess you're going to catch up," the android said with great interest.

"Yes."

the other side.

Chi Lei and Ding Zepeng breathlessly separated the bushes in front of them. There are also several drones hovering over the air motorcycle to guard it, and it is not wise to retrieve it specially. Fortunately, the machinery that was patrolling around the hill just now stopped, and no longer radiated and isolated the power grid around.

Their hooks are still intact, and if they move forward to the shelter by swinging in the forest, they can go back in less than half an hour.

Hope was in sight, but unfortunately the rumbling mechanical sound shattered the meager joy again. The patrol machinery that should have stopped suddenly started to move again, and Ding Zepeng almost hit the power grid that was lit up again.

"Just, it was canceled just now, what's going on?" The young man squeezed the handle of the suitcase tightly, his face sweaty.

Chi Lei frowned tightly, his expression never so gloomy. He dragged Ding Zepeng back a few steps, raised his head, and looked at the rumbling sky. The rising sun has already risen, and the little stars in the sky have become blurred.

A man was grabbing the hook line, swinging under a medium-sized aircraft, and landing quickly towards the two of them. Chi Lei took out his gun without hesitation, but all the bullets hit the invisible barrier and bounced off in front of the man. After the visitor stepped on the ground with the feet of the boots, the medium-sized aircraft split into two, extending out six pairs of muzzles, floating symmetrically behind the person. Like two open black shells.

Several mechanical police dogs stopped at his feet and squatted down obediently, the red halo on their head still dazzling.

It was a tall, sturdy man. A long black trench coat with a slim fit and no complicated decorations on the clothes, like some kind of uniform. A half-mask gas mask covered his face, and there was only a little pale skin that lacked sunlight and black hair that was a little too long under the hat, which was a bit like a military cap.

Those eyes were a little familiar. They are filled with indifference and numbness, plus a bit of creepy banter.

Seeing that the shooting was useless, Chi Lei slowly moved a few steps and blocked Ding Zepeng behind him.

The man noticed his small movements and laughed unabashedly. Chi Lei was not shaken by the laughter, he still held his gun vigilantly, the muzzle pointed straight at the opponent's heart.

Suddenly he saw a little light in the bushes behind the man. Ruan Lijie and 231 didn't know when they ran back, and the cat was in the bushes not far away, reflecting the sun's rays with an infrared camouflage metal box. The mysterious Ruan Lijie was covered in blood, his face was pale, and he made a delaying gesture.

It seems that they may still have a little hope, Chi Leigang intends to breathe a sigh of relief

Unaware of the two behind him, the person in front of him pulled down his gas mask. The moment he saw that face, Chi Lei subconsciously stopped breathing, like falling into an ice cave. Behind him, Ding Zepeng sat down on the ground and almost dropped the suitcase in his arms.

"Brother Chi, you're still the same." The man's tone was steady, and he slowly pulled the gas mask to his chin. "Seriously, your reactions are just as funny every time."

The facial features of Ding Zepeng are exposed behind the mask.

The man looked a few years older than their little Ding, and there was no honesty and honesty on his face. The temperament is like a bladed saber, gloomy and sharp.

Ding Zepeng, who was behind Chi Lei, was breathing more and more rapidly, and he seemed to have a tendency to over-breath. Chi Lei stepped back subconsciously, his face turned from shock to blank.

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Ding, don't be afraid." He said dreamily, not knowing whether he wanted to comfort the young man behind him or himself. "This is the android, this must be the android."

"Bionic man, you mean that the pile of garbage left over from the old world, the fragile human body and the incomplete electronic brain, are simply the worst combination. Except for the few people who were given the body by u01, the others are just inferior machines."

The older "Ding Zepeng" had a bit of sarcasm on his face. He made a gesture, and a mechanical hound swept past Chi Lei, tearing off his pocket, plus the large piece of flesh on his waist.

Chi Lei snorted in pain, and the blood quickly stained his waist.

"Ding Zepeng" dressed in black quickly found the medicine box, twisted the medicine to restrain the android in disgust, and swallowed it in front of the two of them. His gestures were relaxed and casual, like a cat holding a mouse's tail.

"Even if you don't believe me, you should believe in Guan Haiming's technology." The man laughed again, "Don't run away from reality, you two. It's a pity that I'm a fake human being."

He pretended to reach out to the air in front of him and put on a handshake gesture, "Order monitoring, Ding Zepeng. For the sake of distinction, you can call me Major Ding."

Ruan Xian almost dropped the infrared camouflage in his hands in the bushes a dozen steps away. He stared at the back in shock, unlike himself, the man swallowed the pill firmly, and his tone didn't sound like a lie.

If that so-called Major Ding is telling the truth, there are real humans in the u01 camp, and the number is large enough to form an organization with a "title".

why

The sight in front of him began to make him feel uncomfortable.

"Tang Yibu, are you all right?" Ruan Xian moved his lips and asked in a voice close to an angry voice.

"He is equipped with strong armor, not an unsuspecting detection bird. Once I block the information transmission here, he will notice it immediately, and then take Chi Lei and Ding Zepeng as hostages. The information blocking must be after turning off the armor."

Tang Yibu gestured quickly in the air, as if he was directing an invisible band in a small range, "His armor is outside the network, I must use other means to crack it"

"how long will it take"

"Ten minutes." Even though the situation was so tense, Tang Yibu still exuded a kind of unhurried outsider feeling.

"It's been too long, let me help you, give me an interface." Ruan Xian quickly opened the light screen of the electronic wristband, Tang Yibu swiped in his direction, and countless data instantly filled the small light screen.

"How long can you handle it"

"Four minutes at most." Ruan Xian quickly swiped across a screen of data. As soon as the damp clothes on his body showed signs of drying, they were soaked in cold sweat again.

"Then it will take a total of four minutes."

Ruan Xian took a breath, leaned out slightly, and conveyed the time information to Chi Lei with gestures. Chi Lei's eyes started to wander, and Ruan Xian made three gestures before he tightened his cheeks and nodded very slowly.

"I've heard of you guys, Order Inspector, but they're just dogs of the mastermind, traitors of humanity." Chi Lei's voice was so hoarse that it didn't look like his own. He began to take Major Ding's words consciously and tried to talk.

"Ruan Xian is the betrayal of humanity. If he hadn't insisted on fighting against u01, the rebel army would have been wiped out long ago, and the observation of the rebels would not have lasted so long. To be honest, you are all for him alone. Willful purchase."

Major Ding seemed to be interested. Without looking at the dozen or so dark muzzles behind him, just listening to the tone, his tone was like chatting with an old friend.

Ruan Xian, who was cracking the data, paused.

"In order to save the so-called human tinder he suggested that you install black boxes, drop false hope, and put you in the ward of the mastermind. He knew the mastermind would gladly swallow the bait and that you would die from it over and over again. Like Zhang Yazhe, he just experienced his 92nd death."

Chi Lei's face was as pale as paper.

"This is the first time you know the truth here. How does Chi Lei feel being played around by the most respected Ruan Xian?"

"I"

With three minutes left, Ruan Xian quickly opened the encrypted data, and his fingertips and toes became numb due to tension.

"Because, because we are human." Seeing Chi Lei falling into silence, Ding Zepeng swallowed and summoned up the courage to rebut, but his voice was still shaking. "If Professor Ruan didn't do this, we would have been killed by u01 in the first place, and at least a lot of people are still alive now"

"We" turned his attention to Ding Zepeng, and Major Ding's voice was suddenly indifferent. "You're just a clone of me, and your memories are all fakes edited by me. You really think you're human"

Ding Zepeng flinched, and he looked at Chi Lei for help. However, Chi Lei just covered the wound and stared blankly at the void in front of him.

"Your life has only two uses." Major Ding lowered his eyes and looked down at Ding Zepeng, who was sitting on the ground. The dozen or so muzzles behind him turned around, heading straight towards Xiao Ding. "Number one, this face can make them dull when I'm dealing with people in the shelter. Number two, you've made me have a lot of fun and helped me pass the boring time."

"My life is my own, I"

"Too much worship for elders, lack of assertiveness, lack of self-confidence, and easy credulity. It is also worth mentioning copying the athletic talent of the past. You see, I can also become such a useless person by implanting a boring life fabricated out of thin air."

Ding Zepeng dialed the suitcase behind him and shrank back. "Do not"

Only two minutes left. Sweat dripped down Ruan Xian's nose, they had broken through the armor device behind Major Ding, as long as they stopped the energy system

"This is the fifth time we have had such a conversation." Major Ding continued cruelly, "I also deliberately let you go back, and every time you will wash away this memory. Although it is unlikely that if you are lucky this time and run Before removing your memory, remember to say hello to Guan Haiming for me."

Slowly raising his head, Ding Zepeng looked at the "self" in front of him in shock. "You know Guan Haiming"

"One-sided understanding." Major Ding took a few steps closer, and the muzzle behind him made a clack, entering the calibration stage. "Mr. Guan has always been the object of my admiration. He is also an insider. I can't figure out why he insisted on staying with Ruan Xian."

"Because Haiming is a kind person, and kind people don't use human life as a toy." Ding Zepeng took two steps back and squeezed the sentence between his teeth. He looked directly into "self"'s eyes, and there was a little more anger in his tone.

Chi Lei finally moved, and he turned towards the two of them. The eyes were complicated and sad, and the whole person suddenly aged a lot.

One minute.

"You are not qualified to call him Haiming, and by the way, you are not qualified to be angry at me either." Major Ding glanced at Chi Lei and found that the other party had no intention of fighting. He snorted coldly and continued to focus on Ding Zepeng.

"Why does the mouth grow on me? If the main brain doesn't want to be used, just kill us all and create a bunch of androids to observe whether it can be done and edit the memory at any time, which saves a lot of trouble." Ding Zepeng was still trembling, but his face was blank. With a bit of anger and smirk.

Thirty seconds.

"It's definitely better to observe creatures close to the original ecology. Puppet shows are meaningless." Major Ding glanced at the time on the screen and called out the operation interface of the weapon. "Don't take yourselves too high. You make the scene so pathetic, but to me it's just a daily data refresh."

ten seconds.

Major Ding thought for a while, instead of starting the weapon, he took out his own gun and put the muzzle against Ding Zepeng's eyebrows.

"I don't like the way you smile," he said softly. "I've never liked it."

Ding Zepeng, who was covered in mud and dust, had red eyes, his fingers dug into the turf, and stared at each other.

At the same time, Tang Yibu, who was behind the bushes, cleared his throat, "The armor program is destroyed, and the communication with u01 is temporarily blocked. If you need me to remove it"

A shot went off.

The machine that was floating in the air slammed to the ground. The body that once belonged to a human fell heavily to the ground, the head was blown open by bullets, and blood and brains were scattered all over the floor. Memories, emotions, time, or the necessary parts of the "soul", slide down the blades of grass and flop onto the soil.

Ruan Xian stood straight behind the bush with guns in both hands.

Time seemed to be suspended, and the bloody smell was mixed with the smell of other human tissues. He smelled the gunpowder smoke, the heat of the rising sun transpiring the leaves, and the shock and fear emanating from the pores of others, as well as his own.

The sun has risen, and his eyes are bright, and his hands and feet are still cold. Maybe he should vomit, be afraid, and collapse hysterically. It's normal, it's normal, and even the most skilled detectives are subject to psychological intervention after shooting. There's nothing shameful about it.

In an instant, he felt a lot of things, anxiety about reality, sadness for Zhang Yazhe, and worry for Ding Zepeng and Chi Lei.

But no guilt. He desperately searched for emotions, like rummaging through a drawer full of clutter.

No guilt.

Ruan Xian lowered his muzzle, and he seemed to break the old chain wrapped around the box with one shot. The chains jingled to the ground, and the devil floated out of the box. It had been lurking there for a long time, scratching his heart from the inside day and night, and now it finally broke free of the box and extended its claws to the outside world.

"Tang Yibu, ready to replace the intercepted data. His armor failed because of a malfunction, and was then attacked." He heard himself whispering. "Then we'll get out of here right away."

He found himself stepping out, stepping over the corpse whose head was blown up, and with the most appropriate comforting smile on his face, he walked towards Ding Zepeng, whose face was splattered with blood.

"Good job, Xiao Ding, you bought a lot of time." His voice was calm. "Brother Chi, you'd better leave quickly"

"No." Chi Lei said.

He raised the muzzle and fired frantically at Major Ding's body on the ground, his face blank. The bullet was almost empty, and the corpse bounced on the ground as he shot. After stopping shooting, Chi Lei rubbed the barrel of the gun with his hand and looked up at Ding Zepeng, who was shaking into a ball beside him.

"Xiao Ding, go home." Chi Lei said wearily. "I can't go."

Ding Zepeng finally got up from the ground staggeringly. He held the suitcase tightly and tugged at Chi Lei's jacket, his face full of pleading.

Chi Lei took a step back.

"I am a bad-tempered person, and I am very suspicious. But there are three people, I will never doubt it." Chi Lei said slowly. "Professor Ruan, Lao Zhang and you, you are my family. The refuge is my home."

"Brother Chi." Ding Zepeng's eyes were red.

"But today, my home isn't home anymore. It's just my temper, I don't have the confidence to go back to the sanctuary and act well. Also, like I said, I have a stinky problem of doubting this and that. Now I know , Lao Zhang lied to me, Professor Ruan lied to me, and you are"

Chi Lei did not continue to speak.

Ding wiped his eyes with his sleeves. Ruan Xian stood silently, staring at Chi Lei's expression.

"It can't be done." Chi Lei sighed, "This way I can't advance and retreat with everyone like before. But I don't want to leave this team, and u01 shouldn't want this to happen. I want to continue to believe in it. You, I must continue to believe in you."

"Brother Chi, Brother Chi, you go back, you go back to Guan Haiming with me, and let him cut your memory" Ding Zepeng panicked when he realized what the other party wanted to do.

"That will leave a record, and I will be suspicious sooner or later. All in all, it's my fault that I'm at this point in the city. Don't cry, boy. I'll see you tomorrow. Xiao Ding, you have to tell me Promise, go back and forget about it."

Then his eyes poked to the side of Ruan Xian.

"Thank you for your help, Ruan Lijie. Although I don't think it's your name." Chi Lei lowered his voice. "If you can do the shot just now, if you have the ability to interfere with the communication between that guy and the mastermind, replace the person who killed him in the replacement message with me, so if you go to the scene, u01 won't notice you. Count your points. Humanity."

He put the gun to his temple.

"But I still trust my instincts, Ruan Lijie." He grinned weakly, his eyebrows darkened, his expression a bit like when they first met. "You are a dangerous fellow."

Chi Lei's tone was still a bit vulgar and mean, it was hard to tell whether he was joking or sighing seriously.

Another shot went off.

Ding Zepeng's knees softened and he knelt on the ground. He covered his eyes, only seeing a little dark red between his fingers. Ruan Xian slowly crouched down and patted his back, but couldn't say anything.

Half an hour later, above the city of artificial intelligence, inside the mechanical cavity of the blind spider.

Pale hands grabbed the metal handrail, and after a few waves of liquid churning, the man stepped out of the liquid tank with one leg. He grabbed the bath towel on the shelf, dried his dripping hair, and put on a simple bathrobe.

"Good morning, Major Ding Zepeng. Your breakfast is ready." The electronic voice reminded him just as his wet feet hit the ground. Major Ding rolled his eyelids and skillfully coughed up the small amount of liquid remaining in his lungs.

The hot breakfast is not far away, and it is no different from yesterday's. Major Ding glanced at him with little interest and began to change his clothes.

"Reminder. First, in the early hours of yesterday morning, you violated Article 64 of the confidentiality regulations again by implanting and activating induction devices other than auxiliary chips for the sample without authorization. This behavior is at risk of being discovered by the sample, and your service time will be extended by 365 days. "

Major Ding hummed casually.

"Second, your communication time with the sample yesterday was 6 minutes and 23 seconds, exceeding the stipulated 3 minutes, and your service time will be extended by 15 days."

"Well." Major Ding was still absent-minded.

"Third, you made an inappropriate statement about the current management mechanism yesterday, and the relevant memory has been erased."

"I didn't speak properly. I met Chi Lei and the others. I guess I said something like how many times I died repeatedly. It's just to shake them. I'm not dissatisfied with the mastermind's data refresh mechanism."

"Rejected by reason. Please keep in mind the guidelines, data refresh does not mean death. As an order supervisor, please be cautious in your words and deeds. Please remember that you are enjoying the highest quality data refresh service. During your service time, you will never suffer from disease, The troubles of old age or death." The machine pulled a long, tiresome note.

"Um."

Major Ding looked out the window. Today is a sunny day, and there is not a single cloud above the blue sky. The empty city under his feet rumbled as usual, receiving countless memories, computing and editing huge memory data from all directions from the auxiliary chip as a real black box.

He manipulated the spider-shaped surveillance machine, turned the angle of view, and turned on the communication device.

"Sample No. 24 Zhang Yazhe and No. 29 sample Chi Lei, the detectors have confirmed the bodies, and the backup has been refreshed. Two new human corpses were found under the No. 4 mountain peak. The deceased had taken an identity-disrupting agent, so the identity could not be confirmed, but there was no obvious impact. . Sample No. 897 Ding Zepeng has returned to the shelter, priority observation, data refresh is suspended. The report is over."

After all, he opened the largest light screen in front of him.

A soft music sounded, and the icy mechanical voice was replaced by a soothing and beautiful female voice. "Today, the weather in the petri dish 1036 turned sunny and cloudy, and there was light rain in some areas in the evening. All 27 forest shelters in the petri dish have started to operate, please order The inspectors pay attention to observe and correct the wrong data in a timely manner.”

The man skillfully pressed his palm onto the cold operation panel.

"Hello, Major Ding, welcome back. Your data refresh has been completed today, and you are in good physical condition. There are still 23:50:13 until the next refresh. I wish you a good day."
