Nine years is not very long.

For people who live and work day after day, nine years is just a flick of a finger. Most busy people lose the concept of time.

Their time is measured by money.

"My daughter was only thirteen years old at the time. She met the people in the temple. I didn't notice at first, but she became more and more abnormal..."

The middle-aged man is called Zhong Xiong, who used to be the little owner of a fruit stall in Zhongxin City.

Although life is not rich, ordinary days will occasionally have some warm highlights.

Until his daughter met the people of the temple.

"That person... was just an ordinary member at the beginning, but he seems to have been completely brainwashed, and his spirit is abnormal. How can anyone believe that there really are gods in this world."

Zhong Xiong sighed.

His daughter gradually became mysterious and often made some weird behaviors.

Sometimes they would suddenly kneel down at their door, with a pious look, praying to the city suspended in mid-air, and muttering words.

Later, he found the man in the temple and asked him what wrong reasons he had instilled in his daughter.

The man just smiled gently and invited him to sit down and explain to him why there are gods in this world.

"He said... his own existence is the greatest miracle in this world."

"Did he tell you the reason?" Lu Wen asked.

"No, he just said at the time that if I am willing to join their organization, he will tell me why."

Zhong Xiong naturally refused at the time.

He returned home angrily and locked up his daughter, not allowing her to touch those inexplicable things.

But her daughter seemed to be a completely different person.

That night she turned the window and fled, returned to the organization's base camp, and, in full view, walked up to the altar and stood on top of the petrol-soaked pyre.

"Those people are talking about sacrifices, sacrifices, and other things. People who say that they become sacrifices will have their souls ascending to the city of heaven and becoming one of the rulers of that city..."

When Zhong Xiong arrived, it was too late.

Only one corpse burned to charcoal remained on the pitch-black altar.

After living in this city for so long, he naturally has weapons for self-defense.

Angrily, he drew out his pistol and killed the amiable leader who was about to recruit him at the time.

But he himself was seriously injured, and he was hit in one arm.

The shot fired by the man who pulled his daughter into the temple.

Later, he fled the city like a mourning dog.

"Nine years later, I didn't expect him to have become the new leader of the temple."

This organization sounds like a cult.

"First heal my injury. It just so happens that I am also a bit conflicted with that organization, and we will resolve it together at that time." Xia Chuluo said lightly: "Take the money back, I have more of this stuff."

Lu Wen still doesn't know how much money Xia Chuluo is leaving in the summer.

In the capacity of the summer.

No matter how many zeros are on the Xia Chuluo bank card, Lu Wen will not be surprised.

"I came to this city to avenge my father. You are to avenge your daughter. It's a coincidence that I am very interested in meeting the leader of that organization. You can go back and rest."

After Zhong Xiong expressed his gratitude, he left with his money.

The lobby on the first floor is much quieter again.

Xia Chuluo turned his head and looked at the rain curtain for a while, and said to Lu Wen, "What do you think?"

Wen Lu thought for a moment, and said seriously: "If you guessed correctly, the current leader should be the No. 1 chip made by Yin Long."

The time is right, nine years ago.

At that time, Yin Long just dropped the first emotional chip, mixing that chip among countless bionics in the central city who hadn't turned on.

According to Zhong Xiong, that person was just an ordinary member at the time, and it should have not been long since he joined.

And he could not confirm whether the person was a human or a bionic person.

Of course there is another very important sentence.

"He said that his existence is the greatest miracle. When I first started, I thought so."

The good thing of rebirth was unexpectedly encountered by myself.

Thinking about it now, it's all in vain.

But the No. 1 chip probably hasn't realized its true identity.

So he was so addicted to the doctrine of gods so hopelessly.

...

...

Remote no man's land.

After 14 days of large-scale transfer.

Tens of millions of bionics in Baker City finally heard good news.

"The first organization of one million compatriots has arrived at the outskirts of Mou City. It is only half a day away from the site where the city was built. It is taking a break, and it is easy to be found if you move forward."

The first organization was led by Lu Wen.

Fang Zhou also occasionally broke away from his own organization and went to Lu Wen for a stroll.

It is indeed very simple and fast for one person to cross no man's land, but this kind of large-scale transfer is really too troublesome.

"How many bionics are there in Mowu City?" Fang Zhou asked: "There must be hundreds of millions of bionics. These days, bionics are like mobile phones. Every household has almost one."

"I haven't counted it, and Bilan has never given any data."

It's not that Bilan didn't want to give it. When the two companies initially competed, they would give out sales to the outside world every year.

Later, there were more and more incidents of awakening of bionics.

The two companies had a tacit understanding, and both stopped giving specific data to the outside world.

"If you really give sales data and sell tens of millions of units a year, the guys with the bionic conspiracy theory will have to sit still, and the two companies will not be boring."

But there must be hundreds of millions of units.

Every manpower is considered low.

Some bionics were abandoned after being used for two or three years, and the employers replaced them with new ones.

Most of the abandoned ones were sent to be scrapped, and very few escaped.

"In the past, not long after I started the machine in Baker City, I often heard the soldiers next to me discussing how prosperous Mou City is, the public security is stable, the high-rise buildings are full of blue projections, and there are opportunities everywhere... …"

The Ark had some yearning for the city not far away.

The name of each city is very distinctive.

The first mayor of Mau was a mathematician who survived the war. He liked the Mobius ring, so he proposed to call it ‘Mobius’.

Later, people felt that the name was too long, so they changed it to Mowu City.

As for Baker City, the mayor at the time was a lover of detective novels, and he especially liked Sherlock Holmes by Conan Doyle.

The residence of Holmes is at 221b Baker Street, so he named the city Baker City at that time.

The Kerry city in the north derives its name from the architectural complex of a once powerful country, but that country was destroyed long before countless wars.

And the central city... the city is just as its name.

"I'm leaving for a while to see how the small organization before I left. Do you want to come together?" Lu Wen asked.

"of course."

Ark is very interested in everything in Mau city.

"I also need to go!"

Yin Yueyue jumped out of the car, her hair fluttering, like a red elf.

The long trek for more than ten days did not make her tired, but more excited.

It was the first time for her to go home after leaving Mowu City for so long.

"All right, one person and one car, I am in front, you are all following me behind, don't run around, there is quicksand in some places, it is easy to get stuck."

This is Lu Wen's home field.

He is quite familiar with this uninhabited area outside Mau city.

Wind and sand swept over the tent where everyone was stationed.

Many bionics are sitting outside the tent, looking at the brilliant starry sky in no man's land.

It is said that the compatriots in Mowu City have already begun to build the city. Although they have agreed to many unequal treaties,... after all, they are building a city and finally have a home.

Ark once said that bionics should not have a home, and that it is their destiny to wander around.

But occasionally I feel tired, and it’s not bad to have a stop.

"How is the progress of the Bionic Alliance's city building?"

Before leaving, Ark asked.

"At present, everything seems to be normal. Most of the buildings in that ruined city have been torn down. The human side is quite quiet, and the bionics will give whatever they want."

It's weirdly quiet.

According to the information obtained by Wei Boan, the two people from Floating City did not leave either.

It stands to reason that the negotiation has ended, and the two guys should go back.

Lu Wen started the car to lead the way.

Fang Zhou and Yin Yueyue are on his left and right sides, and the dust behind them is too heavy.

Hurry up all night.

At dawn.

The three arrived at their destination.

Light strips of various colors are hung on both sides of the city roads, posters and banners are also posted on some dilapidated low walls, and the main streets are cleaned.

Several child bionics are playing in the city.

"On the 9th, this city doesn't look like a bionic life, and it feels like a human city." Fang Zhou exclaimed.

"Bionics don't have to live in poor conditions. Before I leave, I asked Huang Liang to make the city as warm as possible."

When the few child bionics saw the three of them, they all stopped playing.

"Hello, are you here to find someone?"

One of the children asked, with a very childish voice.

These child bionics are specially customized for families who have lost their children. There are very strict regulations. Ordinary families or individuals cannot customize child bionics.

Even families who have lost their children need to undergo certain psychological tests to qualify for customization.

"I'm looking for Huang Liang, is he there?" Lu Wen asked.

"He is here, sitting on the tall building in the center, saying he is waiting for our leader to return on the 9th."

"I'm Number Nine~lightnovelpub.net~? But...but..." The kid scratched his head. "We all have the portrait of Number Nine. He...he is not as handsome as you."

"Bionic people can have countless faces." Lu Wen smiled and rubbed the child's head.

Since Huang Liang has been sitting on a tall building, he must have been seen.

Not long after, Xiong Zhuang and Huang Liang drove to the street into the city.

"Nine, you are finally back!"

Lu Wen was greeted by a bear hug from Xiong Zhuang.

After such a long time, Lu Wen was also plastic surgery by Dr. Jiang, and the two guys still recognized him.

"If you don't come back, I want to ask Huang Liang to take the organization to another place." Xiong Zhuang said.

"What's the matter?" Lu Wen looked at him.

"During your absence, the Bionics Alliance came several times, saying that they had successfully signed the treaty and selected the address to start building the city."

Xiong Zhuang Yiwuyishi talked about what happened during this period.

"Those guys from the Bionics Alliance are still saying something...'It's a pity that No. 9 can't be there to witness in person','If No. 9 can see it, I will definitely apologize for the opposition at the time.' I really want people to beat them up."

Lu Wen can probably imagine the scene at that time.

These bionics are just a tendon, and they don’t use filters to speak.

"It's okay, I did have a dispute with them at the time, and now they should come over to show off their achievements, otherwise I am worried that they will panic." Lu Wen smiled.

"No. 9, do we want to join that city?" Huang Liang asked.

"What do you think?" Lu Wen looked at him.

"I think the so-called construction of the city may be a scam."
