"Huh... I didn't expect it to be so difficult." Moses brushed the cloak behind him, closed his fists and took a long breath.
There are mechanical debris everywhere, and the dense piles make the entrance to the base look like a garbage dump.
Yu Zhesen and An Zhitian also looked like they had just escaped from a fierce battle. The father and son leaned against each other and watched the surroundings.
The combat power of these incoming defense robots is not high, but there are quite a lot of them. Even if Mercer's power is a metal crusher, it took a lot of time to clear these obstacles.
"It seems that there will not be another wave of attacks for the time being." An Zhitian closed the safety catch of the assault rifle and waved to Yu Zhesen and Messe to follow him.
Yu Zhesen glanced at the messy ground and said uneasily: "We made a big fuss at the entrance, but we didn't see any reaction from the base. Is this place completely controlled by artificial intelligence?"
Messer didn't think so. He reminded: "Remember the aluminum steel hut at the mouth of Sha Valley? Drinking water and energy food are stored in it. There must be someone here."
"Are they a remnant of the old era?" Yu Zhesen's heart skipped a beat.
After learning the truth about the establishment of the Iron Dome World, he once thought that the Administration must not be able to bring all the people from the old era to the Iron Dome World. It may even be a cruel fact that they can reach the Iron Dome World and survive.
People only account for a very small part of the human race in the old era.
Although the official history books attributed the sharp population decline in the old era to the war, Yu Zhesen guessed that when the Iron Dome immigration plan was first carried out, a considerable number of people must have been left behind because of objective reasons.
Judging from the desolate scene of the outside world today, most of the people left behind have already encountered misfortune.
There must not be many shelter facilities with self-circulating energy and life support systems like the underground military base in front of us, because all resource supply will give priority to ensuring the success of the Iron Dome Project.
"If there are really remnants of the old era, I'm afraid they won't welcome us." Moses shrugged, "Maybe those things just now were sent by them to attack us."
"Is it because of resentment and jealousy?" Yu Zhesen asked.
Mercer laughed: "I think the more important reason is that to them we are already almost as alien as another species."
Seeing Yu Zhesen's confusion, Mercer further explained: "People in the old days did not have superpowers like us. Their blood was pure human blood and did not contain any superpower genes."
"But there are many people without special abilities in Fuxing City, Lao An..." Yu Zhesen subconsciously looked at An Zhitian who was walking in front.
In his impression, An Zhitian was not a person with superpowers. He had never shown superpowers in front of himself and An He since he was a child, and the Director-General's abilities had not been heard of in the Security Bureau.
Messer corrected: "The people without superpowers in the revitalized city are still different from the purebred humans of the old era. In your eyes, they may appear to be ordinary people without superpowers, but in fact, their superpower genes are still in a latent state.
There is no awakening. You must have heard that a catalyst for the awakening of supernatural powers has been developed, right?"
"That's illegal and prohibited."
"Yes, but just like guns, as long as there is demand for purchase, there is always no shortage of circulation channels."
Yu Zhesen gritted his teeth and criticized: "This is the evil consequence of capitalism. In order to obtain huge profits and destroy human nature, we will do whatever it takes."
Messer said with a very cold sense of humor: "But there are also people who believe that a world where everyone awakens their superpowers is an equal world, so that there will be no superpower monopoly and privileges for a few people."
"This is sophistry. Superpowers also have strengths and weaknesses. Even if all the people awaken to their superpowers, it will not be able to change the world controlled by capital and form monopolies and privileges." Yu Zhesen retorted sharply.
"I didn't expect you to see the problem quite clearly." Mercer nodded, "You are right, no matter how lofty ideals the Authority gave it when establishing the Iron Dome order, the world still cannot escape the natural law of survival of the fittest.
."
"This is not a matter of survival of the fittest at all." Yu Zhesen smiled bitterly, "This is the oppression of ordinary people by the superiors. That is what Han Jinghu did - creating chaos and panic in order to make armed forces a necessity."
At this time, An Zhitian's voice came from the front, interrupting the conversation between the two.
"You shouldn't talk about this now, and you shouldn't talk about it after you go back." He warned Yu Zhesen earnestly, "Don't forget that you are already being targeted by the Administration."
Before Yu Zhesen could say anything, Messer took the lead and said half-jokingly: "I have to lock my brain again after I go back, otherwise I will be in trouble if they find out that I have touched the restricted area of thinking during regular inspections."
"Asen, you'd better forget all this." An Zhitian said in a serious tone, "As long as I'm still here, don't think too much about these distant things and just do your job in the Security Bureau."
Yu Zhesen replied helplessly: "Yes, Mr. General Director."
An Zhitian was obviously dissatisfied with his answer: "This has nothing to do with whether I am the director-general or not. You know too little about the Administration and the Iron Dome world. One-sided observation is not enough to draw conclusions."<
/p>
Yu Zhesen closed his mouth in silence. He regretted the cynical remarks he made just now in front of An Zhitian. It was all his fault that Mercer had started it.
However, he also found that he actually got along well with Messer, a member of the internal security guard. Tang Suguang had become the spiritual bond between them invisibly. Messer's personal experience also made it impossible for him not to have some opinions on the Iron Dome order in his heart.<
/p>
The shackles that closed off the forbidden thinking zone in Mercer's electronic brain could not seal his emotions as a human being. Yu Zhesen couldn't help but imagine in his heart, how did Mercer reach a reconciliation with his own heart and spend so many years in the Ministry of Internal Affairs as if nothing had happened?
Maybe Lao An is right, and those thoughts he just had were just based on one-sided observation.
As a student of Tang Suguang, Moses has lived for so many years relying on cybernetic transformation. His life experience and depth of thought must be much higher than his own, but doesn't he also live peacefully under the Iron Dome order?
If it weren't for this contact to investigate himself, Moses might never have mentioned the past and the shackles in his mind to others.
An unusual "bang" sound disrupted Yu Zhesen's self-reflection. A crumpled metal plate fell off from the top of the passage and hit the ground with a clanking sound.
"Get out of the way!" A shout came from the black hole where the metal plate had fallen off.
When Yu Zhesen and An Zhitian heard this familiar shout, their hearts shook violently.
A bionic robot fell from above, and its body was covered with metal parts of different colors, making it look like an old doll that had been patched up.
Messer didn't recognize An He's voice, and suddenly saw Android 1001, which was almost exactly the same as the defense robot that attacked them at the entrance, falling from the sky, and immediately made an instinctive reaction to fight.
He curled his arms and clenched his fist, activated the metal crusher, and punched the face of Android 1001 that had just landed.
This punch was completely instinctive, and the action was done without thinking. Therefore, after the punch, when Messer saw the bionic robot carrying a young woman wearing a blue camouflage windbreaker on the back of the bionic robot, he suddenly felt uneasy.
Good feeling.
The next second his premonition came true, Yu Zhesen rushed over from the side, knocked him away and smashed him against the wall on the side of the passage.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mercer, but please stop." Yu Zhesen glanced apologetically at Mercer, who was knocked unconscious by him, and then faced forward without looking back.
Lying on the back of Android 1001, Yu Qingxue recognized Yu Zhesen from the voice, raised her head in surprise, and eagerly wanted to get off the robot's back.
Android 1001 carefully put her down, and then stood quietly, watching without saying a word the exoskeleton armor that was very similar to the original form of the Platinum Age.
"Yu..." Yu Qingxue stopped after calling him one word, because she found that Yu Zhesen's attention was all on Android 1001.
She pursed her lips, swallowed down her joy and excitement, and stepped aside wisely.
"An He." Yu Zhesen reached out and touched Android 1001's cheek. The exoskeleton's gauntlet and the metal face of the bionic robot collided gently, making a slight sound.
Android 1001 tilted his head and made a puzzled movement.
"I miss you so much." Yu Zhesen hugged him directly.
