Chapter 63: Do bionic humans make humans realize the evil of human nature?
After escaping from Todd's house with Alice.
Took the bus all the way to the city.
Get off at the last stop.
It was raining heavily at this time, and the temperature in Detroit, which was gradually entering winter, had begun to drop sharply.
Alice was shivering from the cold beside Xu Mu.
For normal players.
The most urgent task now, of course, is to find a place for Alice and myself to rest temporarily.
To ensure that the plot progress can continue.
However, the bionic man who just killed a human has been registered by the Detroit Police Department and is about to be wanted.
Both of them were penniless.
The area where you can rest will be greatly narrowed.
Or choose to spend the night in an abandoned car.
Or find an abandoned house.
In short, do it as covertly as possible and don't be too ostentatious.
In fact, many players in competitions do this.
Leading Alice to hide in various places.
What's worse, due to careless operation, he attracted the attention of patrolling police and was forced to hide in the city's sewage pipe with Alice.
The weather was already cold and damp, and the sewers were filled with all kinds of dirt, emitting an unbearable stench.
Alice's favorability also continued to decline.
It also makes players extremely worried, fearing that Alice will leave Kara in the next moment and find her own home.
But Xu Mu is different.
After getting off the bus, Xu Mu first took Alice to a 24-hour laundry.
The two of them had been fleeing all the way and their clothes had long been soaked by the rain. Although Xu Mu knew that Alice was also a bionic person, he was not afraid of getting sick.
However, excessive water infiltration can easily cause a short circuit in the body.
The laundry room is equipped with an intelligent unmanned system and there are no staff.
But there was a boy leaning on a chair, with earphones in his ears and his head down, seemingly having fallen into a baby-like sleep.
"Alice, wait for me here for a while." Xu Mu said.
"Sister Kara, what are you going to do...I'm a little scared." Alice looked at Xu Mu weakly and helplessly.
"The weather is very cold now, and we must get some clothes, some money, food, and a warm place to stay. I want to try my luck." Xu Mu smiled and rubbed her head gently.
"But...are there really such things? People are not very friendly to androids..."
"Yes, there will be kind people in this world." Xu Mu chuckled, and after calming Alice down, he went out and headed straight for a 24-hour convenience store on the corner of the street.
After entering the store, Xu Mu still adhered to the principle of using courtesy before force.
He first described his general situation to the human clerk, concealing the fact that he was being hunted, and only said that he needed help now.
Upon hearing this, the clerk immediately sneered: "What did I hear? A homeless bionic person is asking me for help?"
"Listen, miss, this is just a convenience store, not your Redeemer's logistics warehouse. If you don't want to buy anything, leave immediately and don't make me angry, understand?"
Hearing this, Xu Mu took out a pistol from under her skirt and gently placed it on the counter.
Arms display!
"I need some help." Xu Mu repeated.
The clerk's sneer froze on his face. He raised his hand reflexively to give Xu Mu a French military salute, then spoke haltingly.
"A homeless android, how pitiful... Who would refuse to lend a helping hand to such a poor person..."
As he said this, he hurriedly opened the cash register and forced a smile.
"Miss, please take it as you like..."
"I want them all." Xu Mu glanced at the cash drawer. There were about a few hundred dollars scattered around, which was enough for the time being.
…
Not long after, Xu Mu walked out of the convenience store.
The shop assistant laughed in apology behind him: "Welcome next time... Uh, please take care."
Xu Mu took the money and left quickly, and took a teddy bear before leaving.
I don't know why.
Doing this kind of thing in a country like this makes me feel inexplicably at ease.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
When I returned to Alice again, she was so tired that she dozed off.
Xu Mu took the opportunity to secretly take the coat of the boy who fell asleep while listening to music next to him, and changed Alice into a clean set of children's winter clothes from the laundry cupboard.
Immediately, wake up Alice.
"Wow! Sister Kara! How come there are so many clean clothes? And teddy bears?" As Alice exclaimed, Xu Mu hushed her gently.
"These are all gifts from kind people. Put them on quickly. Let's leave here and find a warm and comfortable hotel to stay in first."
"Where does the money come from?" Alice's eyes widened.
"It was also sponsored by a kind-hearted older brother." Xu Mu chuckled.
Alice was so moved that she cried.
"Wow, Sister Kara, there really are many kind-hearted people in this world."
[Alice's favorability towards you has greatly increased! ↑]
[Alice already treats you as family! ]
Soon, Xu Mu took Alice's hand and left the laundry, and looked for a hotel nearby that looked more upscale.
Logically speaking, since there is already a police record, you can't be so ostentatious.
However, Xu Mu, who was familiar with the plot, knew exactly what would happen next.
According to the development of the plot, Connor will take over the investigation of this case of the android devouring its host.
I investigate myself!
When we enter the Connor line, we can just quietly delete the Kara case from the police system.
Choose to spend a peaceful night with Alice in the soft and comfortable big bed and have a sweet sleep.
And at the same time.
Countless players were still holding Alice's hand, standing in the cold rain, and searching for a place to stay on the street.
…
The next day.
Nothing happened that night. After getting up early, Xu Mu took Alice on the journey again.
The destination they were heading to this time was an inconspicuous abandoned mansion on the outskirts of the entire city.
In the original plot, this will be another turning point for Kara's escape.
On a rainy night, Kara will meet a "kind" android who tells her there is an address that may help her escape.
And this address is exactly the abandoned mansion in front of you.
There lives a human named Zizrako in the mansion, who is said to be able to help mutated androids escape from the police.
Of course, if you believe his lies, then you can expect to be reformed.
This guy is an absolute perverted scientist.
Apply various unethical experimental theories to bionic humans.
The bionic people he created, if not similar to the zombies in Resident Evil, are at least close relatives.
Originally, Xu Mu, who had already achieved financial freedom, could have directly skipped Zlaco's storyline.
Taking Alice with him, he bought a ticket and fled to neighboring Canada overnight, taking advantage of the fact that the war between androids and humans had not yet broken out.
There, there are no relevant laws restricting bionic humans.
Bionic people can live freely like humans.
The ultimate goal of Kara Line is to take Alice to Canada!
If only we could get there!
The entire Kara line is complete.
However, after thinking it over again and again, Xu Mu still planned to quickly go through the story of Zlaco.
On the one hand, Xu Mu had his own plans in mind.
On the other hand, he was not sure whether he needed to take Luther with him to Canada in order to complete the Kara line.
In fact, there are different opinions on the final outcome of the Kara line in the game.
They took Alice on a boat to sneak across to Canada, but they were indiscriminately shot by the police's yacht machine gun. Alice died and Kara arrived in Canada.
There was also Kara Luther who smuggled with Alice, and they encountered a police patrol yacht on the way, but Luther was shot and died, and finally Kara and Alice successfully reached the other side.
There was also a route where three people successfully reached the other side.
The game's official production team has not given any explanation as to which one is the perfect ending.
Everything is understood by the players themselves.
If the player feels that it doesn't matter if everyone dies, as long as Kara can reach the other side alive, it will be considered a success and a happy ending.
But it’s different in the copy. If you make the wrong choice, you will lose evaluation points.
To be on the safe side, Xu Mu decided not to take Zlaco's route and chose to bring Luther with him.
He led Alice forward and knocked on the door of the abandoned mansion.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with a beard opened the door a crack and looked at Xu Mu and Alice warily.
"Who are you?"
"I'm here to seek help. I heard that you can help us escape from the police." Xu Mu pretended to be panicked.
After looking them up and down, Zlaco seemed to have ruled out the danger of the two men in front of him. A bit of greed flashed in his eyes, and he was secretly happy in his heart.
Very good, two more targets for human experiments.
Even if the transformation fails, the parts removed from their bodies can be sold for a good price.
Thinking of this, Zlaco smiled and opened the door wide.
"Come in."
The exterior of the mansion appears to be in disrepair and no one lives there.
But the interior is clean and tidy, and the roaring fireplace in the living room makes the whole house warm.
"Many mutant bionic people have come to me for help. They are all a group of pitiful people." Zlaco tried his best to look more friendly. He invited Xu Mu and the other man to take a seat.
Then just pick out nice things to say.
"I can understand the desire of androids to seek freedom and equal status."
"Bionics are another form of life. Look what those brutal humans have done to you."
"You can rest assured when you come to me. In Canada, on the other side of the ocean, there are no laws against androids. If I send you there, you will live a life similar to that of humans, working, resting, socializing, going on outdoor outings, falling in love, and starting a family. What a wonderful life!"
"That's great! I don't know how to thank you, Mr. Zlaco." Xu Mu smiled seemingly very 'happy', his face revealing his longing and vision for a new life.
"You're welcome. I respect every bionic man who fights for freedom." Zlaco watched Xu Mu's every move and sneered in his heart.
Bionic people are easy to deceive.
With this IQ, what does it matter even if it mutates and awakens human thinking?
In terms of innocence, it is probably not much different from a seven or eight-year-old human child.
Still dreaming of obtaining the same status as us humans?
Dream on!
Of course, Zlako's face remained expressionless.
"But before I send you to Canada, I need to remove the tracker from you."
"Tracker?" Xu Mu was puzzled.
"Yes, in order to control androids, the government requires CyberLife to implant a tracker in every android. You are carrying that little gadget on your body. If you don't remove it, the police will soon track you down."
"Oh my god... this is too scary." Xu Mu shook his head in fear: "Please help me remove the tracker."
"It's a piece of cake." Zlaco stood up and made an invitation gesture to Xu Mu: "Come with me, the location is in the basement."
Immediately, he looked up and gave an order to a man next to him who was as big as a mountain .
"Luther, you are responsible for taking care of this little girl."
Luther is Zrako's android assistant.
In the original plot, Luther was moved by Kara's sincere desire to protect Alice, broke the program's constraints and became a mutant android, and chose to kill Zlatko and save Kara and Alice.
Of course, if the player makes a careless choice, Luther will not help, but will turn a blind eye like a fool.
After Kara is transformed by Zrako, she will become a bionic assistant like Luther.
"No need, Alice must stay with me. She is very timid and will be scared if she can't see me." Xu Mu took Alice's little hand.
The copy system once again prompted that Alice's favorability had increased slightly.
"That's fine." Zlatko nodded.
I originally thought of taking them one by one.
But since these two androids are so eager to die, it's not impossible for them to go together.
Two mutated bionic sisters lay on two operating tables, watching each other being transformed in despair.
This is truly a rare pleasure.
Thinking of this, Zlaco felt extremely excited.
He couldn't wait to hear the cries of despair.
Isn’t the fear that erupts when the android first sees the dark side of human nature more interesting than the expression of a human being?
Soon, he led Xu Mu and the other person to the basement.
Rather than a basement, it was more like a series of dirty, dim cells, with only a corridor leading to Zlaco's laboratory.
From time to time, disturbing and strange noises were heard from the surrounding cells.
"Sorry, the environment is a bit bad." Zlaco explained, "But as you know, removing the tracker itself is illegal. To be on the safe side, I had to choose such an inconspicuous place."
Seeing that Xu Mu behind him did not have any suspicion, but followed obediently all the way, Zlaco laughed sarcastically in his heart again.
When leading Xu Mu to the laboratory, Zlaco pointed to the operating table nearby.
"Just lie down. It will be a little uncomfortable, but it will only last for a moment and will be fine soon."
As he spoke, he turned around and started to organize the disassembly tools that would be used later on the operating table.
And he was calculating the value of these two bionic men in his mind.
The Industrial Heart can be sold for over $10,000 on the black market.
Fine alloy limbs can also be used as limb replacements for disabled humans, costing around a few thousand dollars.
In addition, blue titanium blood flows in their vascular systems that imitate the human body.
This is also a precious metal fuel, and a pint is worth dozens of dollars.
"These two bionic men are just like pigs waiting to be slaughtered. They are full of treasures. We can make a lot of money this time." Zlaco muttered to himself.
Suddenly, he felt something hard pressing against the back of his head.
Zlaco could see clearly the light reflected from the small mirror on the operating table.
Xu Mu was holding a gun to his head.
"Damn... Damn it..." Zlaco's pupils shrank sharply.
Are you being threatened with a gun by a bionic man?
"Miss, I think you may have made a mistake..." Zlaco was about to make an excuse.
Then Xu Mu said expressionlessly.
"Androids don't have any trackers."
Hearing this, Zlaco was shocked again!
The tracker is indeed an excuse I made up.
But!
Every bionic person who came here to pursue freedom believed it!
No bionic person would ever doubt it! Because they are too innocent and don't understand what the evil of human nature is!
How did this guy know he was lying?
At this time, Xu Mu spoke indifferently again .
"You are not some kind-hearted uncle next door. You just want to demolish us, sell what can be sold, and renovate what can be renovated."
"You...you..." Zlaco's pupils trembled and cold sweat broke out on his forehead!
Everything she said was true.
But the question is...how did she know???
Zlaco was confident that his tactics were effective in dealing with all the bionic people, and he never revealed any flaws!
"Luther!! Save me!" Zlaco gritted his teeth and was about to call for his tool Luther for help.
But he saw Luther slowly standing behind Xu Mu and entering standby mode.
His orders had no effect on him, and he now only obeyed that young and beautiful female bionic man!
What is this situation? ?
Zlaco felt dizzy and the sky was about to fall down!
In fact, it was just now when Zlaco was leading the way.
Xu Mu has already completed the connection with Luther.
Luther was only one opportunity away from awakening and mutating.
During the data connection, Xu Mu informed Luther of the existence of the bionic organization Jericho. This organization is the real home that helps bionic people strive for equal status. It was created by the bionic leader Marcus.
"I have a very good relationship with him, almost like one person. After this time, I will take you to Jericho, where you can feel real respect." Xu Mu told Luther using data transmission.
In fact, he did not lie. He was Kara, but he was also Marcus.
Luther chose to believe Xu Mu.
"Help me control him." After Xu Mu gave the order to Luther, he put away the gun and rummaged around on the operating table.
Soon, a tube of anesthetic was injected into Zlaco's body.
With Luther's help, he was lifted onto the operating table.
The anesthetic took effect quickly, and Zlaco felt weakness rapidly spreading in his limbs and lay on the operating table, unable to move.
But at the same time, the fear that came like a tide made him temporarily overcome his sleepiness.
He didn't dare to fall asleep, but the scene before him made him even more devastated.
He watched the young girl rummaging through boxes and cabinets in her laboratory looking for various surgical instruments.
That familiar gesture told Zlaco everything.
That girl is even more familiar with this basement than himself!
But why...
This was clearly her first time here.
Why does she seem to know everything? It's as if she holds the script in her hands... and I am just a puppet in her hands...
"You, what are you going to do to me?"
"Let me go! You inferior android!!"
"The police won't let you go!! You'll be sent to the recycling station and crushed into a puddle of mud!!"
Zlatko roared and threatened with all his might.
Xu Mu just glanced at him coldly, then smiled contemptuously.
"do what?"
"Do what you want to do to me."
"Transform you into a android."
"A scientist android who can work for me."
"Don't worry, it's a little painful, but you won't remember anything soon."
The anesthetic needle had invaded Zlaco's brain nerves. He lost the ability to speak and could only stare with his eyes wide open, but he could only find the devilish smile on Xu Mu's face.
He finally experienced firsthand the fear that the bionic humans he had modified felt before they shut down.
Zlako never dreamed of it.
He is a human being.
However, he saw in the bionic man a heart that was even more cruel than his own...
Under Zlako's desperate gaze.
The girl took out medical gloves and a mask from the drawer and put them on with an expressionless face, and also put on medical goggles.
Under the illumination of the honeycomb light on the operating table, Zlaco could not see her eyes clearly, but could only see the cold light reflected by the eyepiece.
His last look before he passed out.
Freeze at the moment when the beautiful girl in front of him raised a sharp electric saw towards him.
Then, everything went dark before my eyes.
An emotionless command came into my ear.
"Luther, the transformation begins."
