In the cramped and muddy cave, Li Liang used his hands and feet to crawl forward quickly.
The entrance behind him shone with red light, and there were continuous explosions, indicating a fierce battle.
Leah was buying him precious time.
Even though Liya is a junior service robot with no individual consciousness, Li Liang feels aggrieved by being forced to let his companions take the back seat.
He gritted his teeth and kept moving forward. Reason told him that in the current situation, decisively giving up the robot and taking advantage of the chaos to escape was a judgment that an adult with a normal IQ would make. There is no need for any psychological burden. , but he still felt a deep sense of frustration.
However, he can only move forward. He must keep up with Mr. Yuan and rescue Messi.
The hole was very long, rough and tortuous. As it went deeper, its diameter gradually increased, and the smell of sand and chemicals in the air became stronger and stronger.
As he climbed along, Li Liang also noticed that at regular intervals, there was a small device embedded in the cave wall to deceive the robot into scanning. This showed that the hole did not exist in the eyes of the reconnaissance robot.
The sound of fighting coming from the entrance was extremely soft. In the darkness, Li Liang could only hear his own heartbeat.
He didn't know how long the hole was, let alone what was waiting ahead.
After climbing for a long time, it felt like a few hours. After turning a corner, the wind suddenly picked up. The dust and chemical smell made every breath he took extremely difficult.
For a moment, he saw a red light flashing under the cave entrance not far away. At the same time, he touched something with his hand. He fumbled with it for a while and found out that it was a face-covered respirator. Apparently, Mr. Yuan had prepared it in advance to leave. Prepared equipment.
Putting the respirator on his face, Li Liang took a deep breath. After filtering, the air was dry and cold, which made him sober in an instant.
The entrance to the cave was just above. Li Liang squatted half-crouched and slowly poked his head out.
In an instant, he saw the Southern Death Prison, which was shaped like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, standing straight in the distance. The machine guns on the "tower" were firing in all directions, and clusters of vector-propelled projectiles were chasing something fast-moving in the night sky.
On the ground, swarms of armed robots were advancing steadily, and streaks of red light representing death were passing over Li Liang's head.
Li Liang turned his head suddenly, just in time to see more than a dozen four-wheeled motorcycles leap out from the flaming explosion and hit the ground hard. More than a dozen light clusters trailed long flame tails and flew over his head towards the robot phalanx. Then he heard the long-lost roar of the diesel engine and the fearless wild laughter.
At this moment, Mr. Yuan and Wang Chao were nowhere to be found, and he was in the middle of the battlefield.
boom!
A violent explosion sounded more than ten meters away, splashing flying sand.
Taking advantage of the sand filling the air, Li Liang jumped up from the entrance of the cave, rolled up, and observed the battle on his knees.
Obviously, the firepower of the quad bikes did not cause any damage to the robot phalanx, but they were extremely mobile and used the undulating hilly terrain around them to adopt guerrilla tactics. They whistled and laughed wildly, as if they were playing a game on the edge of life and death. .
The robot kept advancing. Li Liang no longer hesitated, chose the fastest direction away from the battlefield, and rushed over in a half-crouched position. It went very smoothly at first. He ran very far along the back slope of a small sand dune, and even the red light and explosions on the battlefield were almost obscured by the sound of the wind.
More importantly, after climbing over another sand dune, he saw a little blue light swaying far away. It turned out to be Wang Chao and Mr. Yuan. It was obvious that everyone chose to stay away from the battlefield as quickly as possible at the first time. direction.
Looking back in the direction of the prison for the last time, Li Liang gritted his teeth and followed closely.
No matter who is fighting the garrison robot troops and commandos, or for whatever reason, they are not something he can participate in or influence.
However, Li Liang had just been running for a few minutes when he heard the roar of a diesel engine approaching from a distance. He turned back suddenly, and an arrow with flashing blue light pierced his chest with a sharp sound.
A huge electric current was released, and the next moment, his world fell into darkness.
——————————
Beijing Order Bureau.
In the spacious conference room, a huge screen was split into two, with one half showing the scene outside the death prison in the south: the battle seemed to be coming to an end, with dozens of four-wheeled motorcycles fighting and retreating in three directions, being swarmed by flying " The "Octopus" drones caught up and destroyed one after another. However, just where the armed robot phalanx stopped, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly occurred, and the scene was frozen.
The other half shows a scene in the prison, where prisoners are being questioned individually one after another. The camera switches to show the door hole in the back wall of the King's Nest cell.
The ground inside and outside the doorway was littered with the corpses of commandos and drones, and blue and red liquids sprayed all over the cell.
The camera switched again and froze on a leaping figure, which was a semi-modified service robot. The left side of the body was completely broken, but the right side was intact. The right hand transformed into a long and narrow blade.
The conference room was silent. Hundreds of agents were staring at the screen with different expressions on their faces. The only thing they had in common was a sense of disbelief.
The Order Bureau has not suffered such a huge loss for a long time. The Mayfly Brotherhood is openly provoking the New Order Joint Meeting and is a direct humiliation to Xi'an Company.
Who gave them the courage?
In addition, judging from the prisoner's confession, there was actually someone who could control the guard robot army and directly authorized the upgrade of a service robot. Could it be that the accomplice of Cain they went to arrest with such force was a noble Xi'an?
Every agent has thought of this, but no one dares to say it.
There was dead silence in the conference room.
The director of the Order Bureau looked livid and looked around, his eyes finally stopping on the faces of Dro and House.
Dro was so frightened that his body almost collapsed and slid under the table. He felt that he was dead and could not die anymore.
At this time, the deputy director sitting on the side coughed: "Director Li, should we report to... Xi'an, cough, report."
"Director," House suddenly stood up and said in a calm voice: "I don't think it's necessary. Obviously, this is a violent attack against the Bureau of Order planned by the Mayfly Brotherhood, and I think the reason why they dared to launch this The attack was based on an obvious fact."
As he spoke, he walked out of the conference table, walked to the screen, and pointed at the service robot leaping up in the screen: "Mayfly was lucky enough to crack the dispatching system of the Southern Death Guard Robot Force and was able to briefly control that robot. The troops, it is for this reason that they deceived Dro and I and designed this trap in the southern death row.”
His voice was loud and righteous: "I am willing to go to jail for my previous mistakes in judgment, but Director, I would rather die in the battle to eliminate the mayflies!"
Dro shuddered and jumped up suddenly: "Me too! Me too!"
All the agents cursed "fuck you" in their hearts. Everyone was doing a lot of work to make money for the dead guy, so who were they trying to fool?
However, the director remained silent for a long time and turned around to leave the venue. The detectives looked at each other and had to leave one after another.
More than ten minutes later, only Dro and House were left in the huge conference room.
Dro's legs were so weak that he still couldn't stand up. He trembled and whispered: "House, you, you, we..."
"Hey, Dro," House leaned back on the chair, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth. He held the lighter in his hand and trembled slightly. He lit it several times before it started to light up. He blew out a puff of smoke and smiled. Then he said, "Guess, arresting a Xi'an without permission, and then getting involved in the Xi'an family affairs, and being unprepared to be attacked by the Mayfly Brotherhood and finding out that they just hacked the firewall by luck, this is Which of the two options seems more stupid?"
"Wha, what?"
"It's nothing, don't worry, we won't die." House sneered and patted Dro on the shoulder, "Let's go."
"We can't leave," Dro shook his head with a pale face, "You have to...go get me a pair of pants first."
