"Doctor, there is a red light spot in front of us."

Hongyun's voice came from the roof of the car. Zhou Jinru turned around and looked ahead. Sure enough, there was a red light spot approaching continuously, which could not be avoided on this narrow road.

"only one?"

"only one."

"Gavel goes to the balcony on the second floor, Broca is preparing to attack, everyone is in position!"

Jian Lei glanced at Shuang Ye who had been effectively healed, and raised the shield in his hand: "Let me do it."

Zhou Jinru stretched out his hand to stop her: "No, we have a powerful warrior, let her vent."

As he spoke, Gavel climbed up to the second-floor balcony of the street shop and stared at the red light that was gradually approaching in the darkness.

"illumination!"

Zhou Jinru shouted, and the searchlight installed on the roof of the car was lit. A beam of strong light passed through, allowing the so-called robot to reveal its original shape.

The silver-white metal shell and the clumsily moving lower limbs look like a cylindrical trash can.

"Isn't this the sweeper of St. Martin?"

Zhou Jinru thought of the mechanical intelligence he saw in the inner city that maintained the daily cleanliness of the city. They looked harmless to humans and animals, and were not aggressive.

After taking a closer look, he finally discovered that he was a little different from the little guys he had seen before. He had one more forelimb than the sweeper, which looked like a hook. Maybe this was the equipment used to capture the infected?

Huge sweepers appear on the streets to catch infected people. If they have been professionally modified, it can be explained why there are so many robots suddenly. However, the appearance of these things is really not on the table.

There are two lights on the front of the sweeper. In addition to the red light spots that are constantly flashing, there is also a light that is always turned off.

A group of people lurked near the vehicle to see clearly. When the distance between the two sides was less than fifty meters, the extinguished light on the sweeper suddenly lit up, and it kept beating with an earthy yellow light. It rushed towards the vehicle!

"superior!"

Zhou Jinru roared, and Jiavir, who was hiding on the second floor, jumped up, waved the staff in his hand, and hit the top of the sweeper with a loud bang.

Broca, who was in charge of the strong attack, also rushed forward with his weapon and collided head-on with the opponent. Immediately, the sweeper was knocked to the ground. Jian Lei had already dodged over, raised the knife in his hand and cut off the forelimbs and hook claws. Dropped at your feet.

Almost instantly, the Sweeper was deactivated and turned into an immovable piece of steel.

Only then did Zhou Jinru emerge from the back of the carriage, rubbing the bridge of his nose, wondering if he was making a fuss out of a molehill.

Now it was Broca's turn to work. With his understanding of machinery, he dismantled the shell of the sweeper in a few clicks.

"I didn't expect it to be welded inside. This kind of rough craftsmanship cannot withstand beatings. As long as you hit the body of this thing with a blunt instrument, there is a high probability that it will be scrapped directly."

"It's powered by electricity. It has a battery inside. It's not a high-end device. It's something we don't even use in Rhode Island anymore. The normal running time is no more than four hours."

"Oh, what is this? A signal transceiver. It seems to be controlled through a nearby communication network and cannot be operated too finely."

Broca was wearing plastic gloves and was about to tear off all the wires inside the cleaner. Zhou Jinru suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute."

"We're in a hurry, Doctor."

The macho cat Maotou reluctantly stopped what he was doing.

"It won't take too long, I'll just do a simple verification, it'll take a few minutes."

Zhou Jinru looked at Jiavir who was carrying the staff: "You were very close to this thing just now. Did you feel anything strange?"

"Strange things? No, doctor, what do you want to express?"

Zhou Jinru also gave in and stared at the remains of the sweeper and said: "I noticed that Jiaweier was the closest to the sweeper at the time, but the sweeper did not come towards her at the first time, but directly towards our car, and then It was knocked down, it must have found an infected person, there are many infected people here, but everyone has something in common, with the exception of one person."

"Frost leaves..."

Jian Lei was the first to react. She stared at everyone: "What do you have on you? Are they special devices issued by Rhode Island?"

"I probably figured it out, it's something like this."

Zhou Jinru smiled bitterly, holding an identification card in his hand, which was the temporary professional consultant identity certificate issued by Saxon Detective Agency.

"We all have this thing. Even infected people will be recognized as unattackable objects, but Frost Leaf does not. The sweepers discovered her immediately and immediately launched an attack."

Broca stood up and said in a solemn voice: "It is a safety protocol. All mechanical intelligent equipment, including drones, will be embedded with a complete set of safety protocols. Most of them are identification functions to prevent accidental injuries."

"Move the hook and the core of the sweeper back. I think the equipment department will be very interested. Those bastards usually hide it and are unwilling to take it out if they have good things. I want to give them a good blow this time .”

Zhou Jinru jumped into the car and sat next to Shi Huaiya consciously. He tapped the back of the little tiger's hand with his fingers, causing the young lady to feel uneasy.

After everyone got on the bus, Zhou Jinru cleared his throat and pressed the headset: "Now we rush back to the police station in Qiangwei District. These iron bumps will not do anything to us, but those gangs will be in big trouble."

The vehicle circled around and got back on the road. Shi Huaiya looked at Zhou Jinru's profile and whispered, "I thought you cared about the infected person who was knocked away."

"I can tell which is more important. An infected person who has lost his mind attacks others wantonly. I don't care about his life or death. The most important thing now is that nothing happens to my people."

He was wondering what happened to Ansuo, and hoped that everything was okay.

If nothing else, the team of sweepers should have exchanged fire with the gangs that besieged the police station. Both sides did not understand what the other party wanted to do. One was a mechanical intelligence that rigidly carried out the order to capture the infected, and the other was a person with a deep heart. The ghost gang will be damned if they don't fight.

"I was robbed on the road before entering St. Maarten. The Rhode Island ship has always been on alert in the infected community. This shows how strong the local gangs are. Free St. Martin can't even protect the police station in the outer city. Today Once the gang takes over the Rose District Police Station, its prestige will rise to a terrifying level. Coupled with the Prohibition Act, a large amount of illegal liquor will be sold to obtain huge profits. I am afraid that in just half a year, a daytime state controlled by Colombia will be created. The night is a lawless place for gangs.”

"I'm more curious about what brings those gangs together. In addition to the inaction of the politicians in San Martin, there must be some other forces involved."

Shi Huaiya lifted her hair: "Then why don't you want to believe that great men will appear from heaven?"

"That would be even more terrifying. I don't want to see such a great man who can easily conquer half a city. It makes people feel frightened."

"Are you talking about Mr. Lin?"

Zhou Jinru was silent for two seconds, shook his head, and expressed his unwillingness to talk more on this issue.

Mr. Lin's problems are very broad and deep. His rise is like a comet, bringing misfortune to countless people and benefiting countless people. He is a person with a strong purpose in doing things and strictly controls every link. , once an abnormality occurs, it will deal a devastating blow.

Zhou Jinru also wanted to complain. This is completely different from those big guys in time travel. They didn't leave any chance for others, and they didn't even say "Thirty Years to Hedong".

The prohibition bill must have a purpose. Mr. Lin cannot be without aim. He is eager to force the politicians in St. Martin to take sides. I am afraid there is some internal reason.

After confirming Mr. Lin's true identity, Zhou Jinru was dumbfounded. He was facing a participant who had read the script. The only possible opportunity was the birth of a brave new world, which should be different from the original script.

Because this company does not exist in the game.

But this cannot bring any substantial help to Zhou Jinru. After all, Rhode Island Pharmaceutical Company and Brave New World are not on the same level at all.

"Longmen must have also studied Brave New World. What do the Swire Group have in mind?"

Shihuai Ya put his arms on his forehead and said in a dull voice: "My family has no direct business dealings with Brave New World, and there is no branch in St. Martin, but we have been doing business in Colombia."

Zhou Jinru couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that I can't get any practical investment. The idea of ​​​​emptying a wolf with nothing is certainly wonderful, but this business is too loss-making and I can't do it."

"What a waste of money, can't you see other hidden investments?!"

Shi Huaiya immediately straightened up, stared, and said loudly.

"Okay, I understand, Miss Shihuaiya, but the actual situation is far more complicated than all of us thought. I hope that the Swire Group can make another investment, maybe in other aspects, such as giving another investment to Rhode Island. For orders and things like that, we don’t need people, we already have people, and having too many would be bad.”

Zhou Jinru spoke carelessly and blatantly expressed that he wanted more benefits, which aroused Shi Huaiya's dissatisfaction. Why has the doctor become so philistine since he came back?

"Don't worry, you won't suffer a loss. This is not a blackmail, but a reasonable demand. It is not that you and your family are seeking cooperation, including Kjerag, Colombia and Victoria. All parties involved must increase their stakes, because we are facing He's putting all his chips on the line against a really scary guy, and I don't want to face him head-on."

There were faint shouts and continuous explosions ahead, and the ground began to shake slightly.

"Oh, it's really lively. Gangs, sweepers, police stations, and now there's another party. Who is this time?"

Zhou Jinru saw clearly that this was the first time that a melee between all parties occurred.
