The autumn wind blew through the barren valley, and the withered yellow and sparse vegetation covered the tents, and the wind blew the curtains of the tents rattling.

This is a garrison point of the army in the main city in the mountains, and the bionics carrying guns shuttle back and forth between the tents.The weather turned cold in late autumn, and the mornings and nights in the second district were extremely cold, but they were still wearing thin combat uniforms, as if they could not feel the temperature change at all.

In the corner of the garrison point, in the wounded barracks where the human wounded are housed, the command android leads a group of android soldiers on routine patrols.Painful groans came from the simple tents on both sides, commanding the bionic man to ignore it and walk, when he passed a tent, he was suddenly blocked by a figure jumping out of it.

"Commander," the commanding bionic man just wanted to go around, but the human opened his arms anxiously, his face covered with plaster was full of panic, and forced himself to say, "Commander! Yesterday ourMore than a dozen soldiers died in the tent, and the wounded will die within a week if this continues, can you ask CyberRose to provide some medicine, even the most basic antibiotics..."

"The drug ration for this month has been used up," commanded the bionic man to slap the man's hand away, and continued to move forward, "According to Poseidon's calculations, the company's drug supply is just enough for the minimum needs, and you are consuming it too quickly.”

"But isn't this the result of you sending human soldiers to minefields? These soldiers were blasted to detect mines for you, and their hands and feet were blown up. Now the wounds are infected!" the man roared excitedly, and suddenly noticedI was overly emotional, quickly lowered my voice, and grabbed the sleeve of the bionic man, "Commander, please, give the soldiers some medicine, or ask the medical bionic man to amputate their limbs."

The commanding bionic man's gaze fell on the opponent's shoulder patch, where three white "V"-shaped stripes were embroidered.This is the symbol of the rank of sergeant. Since Robert incorporated the original army of Cesina City, he secretly ordered the assassination of all officers above sergeant. This is already the highest rank that a human soldier can have.

"Sergeant, go back to your own tent." The command bionic man said coldly, holding down the gun pouch beside him.

"No, you can't just be like this..." The sergeant still tugged on the cuff of the bionic man and refused to let go, but the sudden cold feeling on his cheek made him shiver and swallowed his words.

Command the bionic man to draw out the pistol without hesitation, and put it on the sergeant's temples.He leaned down and stared intently at the trembling sergeant, with a rigid tone: "There is a principle in my bottom-level procedures, 'the property of the company is inviolable'. We bionics are the property of the company, and only when resources are investedOn us, we can guarantee that property will not be damaged.”

His face is indifferent, although it is beautifully designed, the sense of disobedience in the subtleties is chilling.The trident in his eyes is hellish red. At such a close distance, the red light enveloped the sergeant's frightened face, "Humans are fragile creatures, and the cost performance of maintenance is very low. Instead of abusing resources to maintain a humanIt is better to use the same money to repair ten bionics. The mayor is willing to allocate funds to repair you every month, which is the best of humanity."

After the android finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave, but he heard the sergeant trembling behind him say, "Is the mayor merciful, or is he trying to put us to death? There are so many androids here, the most dangerous taskBut they were all handed over to humans... Cesina's army used to be the mayor's eyesore, he was concerned about public opinion and couldn't kill us himself, so he wanted to exhaust us in the war, didn't he?"

"What did you say?" The commanding bionic man turned around, raised his gun and pointed at the sergeant's forehead again, his handsome brow furrowed in confusion.

The sergeant's voice was crying with despair: "I said..."

"boom"

The faint smell of gunpowder smoke permeates, mixed into the autumn wind carrying dust.The sergeant's body "thumped" onto the sand, a large amount of blood splashed out and slowly melted into the gravel.Commanding the bionic man to put away the gun, his expression was still puzzled, it was puzzled at how the slaughtered lamb dared to accuse the butcher.

He didn't even look at the sergeant who was lying on the ground, and left with the rest of the androids, their military boots stepped over the mangled corpse, and quickly turned the desperate face into mud.

The wounded who could still move in the tent came out silently, tears rolling down their cheeks.Some of them were missing a hand, and some could only crawl without a leg, but they still slowly moved to the sergeant's body.Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to cry out loud. In the fortified barracks, only by abiding by the rules would they have a chance to live an extra day.

But the soldiers all knew that they would not live to go back.In that pearl-like city covered by a transparent hemisphere, their relatives live. In the sheds of the slums, there are fathers returning from odd jobs, mothers sewing clothes, and sitting on the top of the sheds, looking out of the city with their chins in their hands.The younger sister in the direction of the barracks, all this constituted a nostalgia they never dared to look back on.

Could it be...are they destined to die on the battlefield?Couldn't they have done something to save themselves and flee back to the main city to be with their families?

In the eyes of the soldiers with tears in their eyes, the marching team of bionics suddenly stopped.The group of bionic figures seemed to have been drained of energy within half a second, and they froze there strangely, some of them still kept walking, like two rows of lifelike statues.

The entire barracks fell silent in this short moment—not the silence where no one spoke, but the silence without a sound, only the autumn wind blowing the banners above the camp, making the sound of hunting.The sounds of tens of thousands of bionics' activities completely disappeared at this moment. The human soldiers looked at each other in surprise, and the rumors circulating in the barracks surfaced in their minds at the same time.

The lock of the brain.Although no one saw Rosie's speech in person, a soldier heard the news about Rosie's speech on a radio assembled from scrap parts, and the relevant information spread quickly in the wounded battalion.

In fact, until this moment, no one really believed that the second district had such top-notch countermeasures, otherwise the war would have ended; but they were still praying silently in their hearts, hoping that Rosie's promise would come true.

Didn't that leader also say that?His name means "hope".He sincerely hopes that everyone will not give up hope.

In the suffocating silence, one of the soldiers raised his hand tremblingly, forming a gesture of rebellion above his head.The same gesture rose from the surrounding crowd, sporadically at first, but as more and more people responded, the cross gradually converged into a wave of thyme.

Then they lowered their arms neatly, just like the recruits did when they received training for the first time. They formed a regular team, raised their hands and took down their guns from behind.

It was precisely because Robert was afraid of the leading rebels that he killed officers above the sergeant, but he didn't understand that the rebellious heart was not organized from top to bottom, it was a heart that was deeply rooted in everyone's heart.seed.

— just a seed that wants to go home.

Roars broke out from the throats of the soldiers, and the roars tore through the silence that hung over the garrison.They kept shouting, and their voices echoed in the thick valleys. Fierce gunshots exploded from all over the camp. The sheep picked up the butcher's knife and slashed at the butcher who had lost his ability to move.

The shouts stretched across the hillsides and fields, burning on the earth.On the first day when the imitation of Brain Lock was opened, even Rosie did not expect that the first rebellion came from outside the city, not in the city.A major rebellion broke out.

The balance of war began to subtly change its inclination.

Deng Huailing raised the flashlight and shook it into the dark corridor. The light illuminated a row of house numbers extending forward, and also illuminated the nameplate of the clinic at the end of the corridor.He took the capsule train for a day and a half, and finally arrived at the East 5 underground city in the afternoon of the second day. Following the light of the kerosene lamp, he touched the residential building where the clinic is located in many blocks.

There was no one in the corridor, because of the power outage, although it was afternoon, it was no different from late at night.Along the way, he saw that the situation in East 5 was similar to that in East 1. Except for transportation, medical care, food and other basic industries, the power supply was still maintained, and the rest of the electricity was saved to supply electromagnetic wave generators. The huge second district was basically paralyzed.state.

Deng Huailing came to the clinic through the corridor, and noticed that white light was leaking from the door close to the ground. It seemed that the doctor had prepared an emergency energy source.He was just about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but suddenly realized something was wrong, squatted down, stretched out his fingertips to wipe the ground next to the crack of the door, and put his fingers in front of his eyes.

A drop of crimson liquid was stained on the fingertips, and a strong fishy smell lingered on the tip of the nose.is blood.

"Doctor, open the door!" Deng Huailing was taken aback, got up quickly, and knocked on the door twice, "I'm Deng Huailing, I just came from East 1, and I want to chat with you, I'll leave after the chat, noHow long will it be delayed?"

No one answered, but he heard slight footsteps behind the door, and the hidden camera installed on the door frame rotated silently, as if someone was watching him after surveillance, but deliberately refused to open the door.Hearing the voice, Deng Huailing was slightly relieved, and knocked on the door twice:

"Hey, doctor, I know you're inside. If you don't come out, I will take compulsory measures. If you break any equipment, please remember to send the bill to Rosie. The address is East 1 Administration Center, Leader's Office!"

"What coercive measures?" The intercom by the door rustled for a while, followed by a dull human voice.The doctor seemed to be hiding in a closed fortress, unwilling to speak or see anyone. Such a mental state was obviously not good.

"Stay away from the door." Deng Huailing said.He took out a group of miniature bombs from his pocket, and skillfully found the detonator in the storage bag, assembled them and stuck them on the iris lock at the door, retreated into the corridor, and detonated the explosives.

Three seconds later, the bang of the explosion filled the entire corridor, thick smoke billowed up, and a big hole was blasted open the door of the clinic.Deng Huailing raised his leg and kicked the door open, and leaned against the wall outside the door. The bullets flew past him, crackling and hitting the wall at the other end of the corridor, and large pieces of ash fell from the wall.

That's the automated weapon hidden behind the door.Deng Huailing had expected that for a person like a doctor who had been in the black market for ten years, it was impossible not to set up an agency in his residence.He thought for a while, and threw a spherical device into it. This little gadget simulates the temperature of the human body at all times, and can detect all the temperature measuring mechanisms. "You won't tell me that there is another way?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of steel scraping and snapping violently. The device was pierced by the iron spikes protruding from both sides of the entrance. When he walked to the door, the iron spikes were slowly retracting into the wall, the fragments of the device fell, revealing the figure of the doctor in a white coat.

"This is really a solid fortress." Deng Huailing sighed and walked into the door.He knew that if the doctor wanted to see him, he would shut down all other organs, so he walked quite casually.

"..." The doctor seemed helpless with his rogue breaking in, "Ettore asked you to come?"

"This is one of his last wishes, asking me to confirm your mental condition and prevent you from doing irrational things." Deng Huailing heard the doctor seemed to sneer, then paused and said, "Do you think he is unnecessary?What I mean is, he clearly knew how his death would affect you, but he did it anyway, and he even asked someone he didn't know very well to comfort you afterwards..."

"Stop analyzing my thoughts." The doctor said lightly, turned and left the hallway, "I know you are good at this, but I don't need psychological counseling. My mind is normal and I have no suicidal thoughts. Where did you come from?go."

After he walked away, the scene inside the clinic was revealed.Deng Huailing had guessed when he found the blood by the door, so he looked at the bright red all over the floor and the bones and flesh scattered everywhere, turned around and closed the door gently, and found a chair with a back to block it.The hole in the door.

The doctor is indeed a lunatic comparable to a killer. This clinic is covered with blood from the floor tiles to the walls. There are not many human tissues in the reception room outside, but through the open door of the operating room, one can vaguely see the piles of blood inside.The refrigerated cabinet was almost full, and a few hands protruded from the cracks in the cabinet.

The air was filled with a sweet smell, and the smell of blood and rotting corpses mixed together, making one almost want to rush out the door.

"If your mind is normal," Deng Huailing leaned against the door with his arms folded, looking at the doctor's back and said, "just explain what's going on here."
