[Detroit] No Paradise

The night had completely enveloped the land, and everything was silent and lifeless.

The darkness and low temperature have become the accomplices of death at this moment, like two devils with claws and claws, devouring the people who are struggling to move forward under the street lights.At this time, the dim light from the street lamps also seemed to have an ominous color. The dim yellow color was suppressed darkly, better than illuminating a small piece of snow-covered road surface, as if it was just to set off the depth and depth of the darkness.

Connor carried Joshua on his back, walked as fast as possible while keeping his stability, and rushed to the nearest hospital.He could feel that the body of the person behind him was getting weaker and weaker. His body temperature suddenly dropped after a short rise, and it had reached a very dangerous temperature at this moment.He could even feel warm blood flowing from Joshua's body, soaking his clothes slowly.

Joshua couldn't last long. Even though Connor had taken emergency measures to stop the bleeding, the blood loss and hypothermia would still kill him within 10 minutes.If it weren't for his amazing reflexes and self-protection instinct even when he was sick, which allowed him to avoid the vitals while running, the hemorrhage in his internal organs would have killed him at this moment.Connor tried to call an ambulance, but found that the communication network between all androids and public facilities had been cut off. Perhaps the original intention was to consider the safety of the country and citizens, but at this moment, it was undoubtedly worse for Joshua and Connor.

All the way from Jericho, there are all abandoned houses and alleys, and there is not even a car that can drive.

Connor gritted his teeth. He had never felt such anxiety, fear, or even despair. It would take about 10 minutes to rush to the nearest hospital from here. Ya can't make big moves at all, otherwise it will only make him die faster.

The breathing of the people behind was getting weaker and weaker, and they were already exhaling more and taking in less.

"Joshua! Joshua! Don't sleep! Keep breathing!" Connor said to the people behind him as he walked.

"..." Joshua's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes opened a little, but they closed again quickly.

"Hold on, hold on... don't sleep, don't sleep..." Connor didn't know what to do, so he could only repeat this sentence over and over again.He knew that the human body was extremely fragile, and once he fell asleep in a serious injury, his vital signs would only get weaker and weaker.

Joshua lay motionless on his back, and Connor could even feel that his body temperature was colder than his own.

"Don't sleep...wake up, Joshua, please..." His tone was almost crying, his voice was trembling, it was completely pleading.

Joshua heard Connor's voice in a state of extremely fuzzy consciousness. He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't control his body.

At first, he could feel severe pain and biting cold, but now he felt as if he had been immersed in a hot spring, in a daze, unable to feel anything, as if he had returned to the most primitive embryo, everything Return to chaos.It's very comfortable, like lying in an easy chair by the fireplace, you don't have to think about anything, just listen to the sound of the fire beeping, close your eyes and sleep, everything will pass.

Until he heard Connor's voice, calling him again and again, telling him not to sleep.

Do not sleep?

Yes, I can't sleep, and I may not be able to wake up after sleeping.

But why is Connor by his side?Is he in a hurry?Is he worried?

No, how could he have such emotion? He is just a machine, just a pile of 0 and 1 artificial intelligence.Besides, it was thanks to his merciless three bullets that he fell into such a fate.

——I really am dying, I have auditory hallucinations.

Connor watched Joshua's consciousness become more and more lax, but there was nothing he could do.If this continues, Joshua will never be able to persist in the hospital, and he will die completely on the way.

He seemed to have no desire to survive at all, and as the murderer who brought him to this point, there was little possibility of waking him up.

Just when he was almost in despair, a slightly familiar voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Oh, look what I found... an android and a wanted man?"

Connor turned around and saw Gavin standing not far away, holding a gun in his hand, looking at him and Joshua mockingly.

He suddenly understood the meaning of the phrase "the leak in the house happens to rain all night".

"I know you have a problem, Connor," Gavin said as he walked towards them, "You probably didn't expect that I drove after you after leaving the police station, and you disappeared after leaving Ferndale Station , I was still annoyed for a while. However, I was lucky, you appeared on the street again, and you brought me a surprise by the way—oh, what happened to our Mr. Herbert? Asleep?"

"Gavin, put down the gun, now is not the time to fight." Connor felt his heartbeat speed up suddenly. He knew that Gavin hated bionics very much, and he probably didn't even like Joshua, who had a feud with him.If he makes things difficult for them at this juncture, it will be in big trouble.

Connor took a look at the surrounding environment, there were no pedestrians, no surveillance, not even patrolling drones—it was too close to Jericho, and Marcus and the others had already dealt with all factors that might expose them .In other words, even if Gavin killed them here, no one would witness it.

"An anomalous bionic man and a wanted criminal, what an interesting combination, isn't it? Last time in the interrogation room, I thought there was something wrong with the two of you. Hey, when did you hook up?" Gavin didn't stop, Holding the gun, he walked towards the two of them step by step.

"Listen, Gavin..."

"Shut up, you damn bionic!" Gavin cursed back directly.

Normally, Connor would ignore Gavin's insults as if he didn't hear them, but the situation is different now, and he can't let Gavin waste any more time.

"Joshua is seriously injured and needs medical attention. There's no time to waste here, Gavin," Connor said eagerly.

"Really?" Gavin sneered, "You think I'll believe an anomalous bionic and a wanted man?"

"I didn't lie to you!" Connor even pulled out his gun and broke Gavin's heart. What's wrong with this human being?

"All right, all right, you didn't lie to me." Gavin said slowly, still in a mocking tone, "Then tell me, why should I care about the life and death of a wanted criminal?"

Connor immediately understood that it was impossible for this human being to help them. In other words, he might feel that it was kindness for him not to shoot immediately.

Simply incomprehensible.

Connor immediately deduced several routes to protect Joshua and deal with Gavin at the same time, but the success rate of each method was extremely low.His pistol fell into the water in the explosion just now, and is now equivalent to unarmed.If he had a gun, he'd be sure to send Gavin straight to God in an instant.

Now is not the time to hesitate, Connor immediately chose the route with the highest success rate, and quickly executed it.

He dodged sideways behind a billboard of a merchant, and Gavin reacted extremely quickly. He immediately pulled the trigger and fired a few shots, but all of them hit the billboard.

"Damn!" He cursed secretly, and slowly approached the billboard with his gun raised.

Connor carefully put Joshua down, listening to Gavin's footsteps, and judging his distance from here.

When Gavin was less than three meters away from the signboard, Connor rushed out, dodged Gavin's bullet, and snatched his pistol directly!

Gavin has also been a policeman for many years, and his skills are not too frustrating. He sideways avoided Connor's sudden blow, took two steps back, and pulled the trigger again at Connor——

"boom!"

A cloud of blue blood burst out from Connor's chest, he snorted, and the self-examination was completed in an instant, but fortunately, he didn't hit the nail on the head.

After Gavin hit Connor, he subconsciously relaxed his vigilance. He was obviously inexperienced in fighting bionics, so he didn't expect that Connor would attack again without being affected at all.

This time Connor grabbed his wrist accurately, pressed the other hand on the gun stock, and twisted it forcefully, Gavin let out a scream, but his hand was still tightly clenched | the gun refused to be released, he He slammed into Connor, and the latter took two steps back, briefly opening the distance between them.

Gavin glanced at the billboard, and ran towards the other side hidden in the shadows without hesitation, the target couldn't be more obvious.

Attack that damned wanted Joshua Herbert, and this damn android can't do both!

When Connor saw Gavin's movements, he immediately understood what he wanted to do. He didn't have time to think, he could only rush to Gavin as fast as he could, and threw him to the ground before he could shoot.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two more shots were fired, one shot into Connor's body, and the other missed. At the same time, Gavin was also thrown to the ground, pinned down by Connor and unable to move.

"How dare you..." Connor felt an unprecedented anger erupt in his heart. He used all his strength to punch Gavin's hand holding the gun. The sound of bone shattering and Gavin's scream sounded at the same time.

The pistol came out of his hand, and Gavin shrank into a ball in pain, sweating profusely as he looked at the bionic man in front of him.

From his point of view, Connor's face was hidden in a shadow, but the pair of brown optical components reflected the color of the white snow on the ground, with an extremely cold light.

"How dare you attack a seriously injured human being—you should be ashamed of it!" Another punch hit his other palm, this time Gavin couldn't even scream, and rolled his eyes Passed out.

Seeing that Gavin had fainted, Connor slapped Gavin on the face expressionlessly, waking him up abruptly.

"Where's your car?"

"What?" Gavin was dizzy from the pain.

"Your car!" Connor repeated again, "I know you came here by car, where's the car!"

"You thought I'd tell you?" Gavin insisted.

Connor picked up the gun that Gavin dropped and put it on his head: "Then you can choose to die."

Gavin had never seen such a ferocious appearance on this bionic person before. He subconsciously thought that this was a plastic trash that would not resist, would not get angry, and was ridiculously well-behaved, but he did not expect that when he was angry, It would be so chilling.

"Wait, don't shoot, I'll tell you where you are!" Gavin quickly told the location of the car. There is no monitoring.

"Car keys," Connor said.

"In...in your jacket pocket."

Connor quickly found the key and stood up from Gavin.

He still held the pistol tightly in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was still pointed at Gavin's head.

"I've told you everything, don't kill me!" Gavin panicked.

Connor just glanced at him coldly, then put away the pistol, turned around and walked to Joshua's side, carefully carrying him on his back.

"Hey!" Gavin yelled as he saw Connor walking away from Joshua, "You can't leave me here, it's too cold here, I'll freeze to death!"

The bone in his hand was broken by Connor, and the pain caused his eyes to turn black, and he had trouble getting up, let alone walking to the station by himself.

Connor didn't stop on his feet, didn't even bother to look at him, and disappeared into the night.

……

On the other side, over the bombed-out Jericho, several helicopters were patrolling back and forth.

In a hidden corner not far away, Marcus, North, Simon and Josh were hiding in the shadows, looking at the ruined Jericho.

"It's too late, Marcus." North sighed as she looked at the unrecognizable Jericho and the FBI special police who kept landing on the ground to search.

"No, it's too early to say that now." Marcus said in a low voice, "Joshua was on the deck at the time, and he couldn't have jumped off in time."

"Even if he jumped down, he might not be able to get up again," Simon said.

Marcus froze for a moment, then fell silent.Although he was extremely unwilling to admit it in his heart, he still knew that the water temperature in this river was too low for humans to bear, not to mention that Joshua's body had not yet recovered.

"Is the communication still unavailable?" Josh asked.

Marcus shook his head: "No one has responded to me over there."

This was what worried him the most. If Joshua was fine, why didn't he respond to him all the time?

"Then maybe he really has..."

"I don't believe it." Marcus gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to go into the water to find him."

"Are you crazy? Even if you can find it, it's just a frozen body now..."

"Stop it!" Marcus interrupted Josh, and the three of them knew that they could no longer stop him when they saw Marcus' eyes.

"I'll go with you." Simon stood by Marcus's side as always, without any hesitation.

"Let's go together." North and Josh also joined in. Although they had to act under the nose of the FBI, they didn't have the slightest fear or hesitation.

A few people quickly moved to the river under the cover of night, and after taking off their obstructive coats, North, Simon, and Josh jumped into the water one after another.

"North and I are in charge of the east, and Simon and Josh are in charge of the west." Marcus quickly set up tasks on the shore, and at the same time took off his coat.

He looked at the dark water, bottomless, as if some monster was hiding at the bottom of the water, devouring all creatures that dared to jump into the water.Snowflakes kept falling down and falling into the water. Marcus knew how cold the water was and how extreme the temperature was for humans without scanning.His heart kept sinking like a boulder.

He closed his eyes and tried the comm connection one last time.

"Joshua? Can you hear me? Please respond immediately, we are worried about you."

After he finished speaking, he sighed and did not expect Joshua to respond to his message.

At this moment, he suddenly received a signal from the communicator.

Marcus was startled, then overjoyed, and shouted into the communicator: "Joshua? Did you hear that?"

North, Simon and Josh who had already entered the water raised their heads and looked at Marcus in surprise.

After a moment of silence on the other side, a voice said, "Marcus? Is that you?"

Marcus was also stunned when he heard the voice, and he said after a while, "Connor? How could it be you? Where's Joshua?"

The other side fell into silence again, and Marcus' heart sank more and more in this silence. He suppressed the extremely strong ominous premonition in his heart, and asked, "Where is Joshua? Tell me, Kang accept."

North, Simon and Josh got up from the water and looked at Marcus worriedly.The latter listened to what Connor said, motionless, and his face became more and more ugly.

"Where's Joshua?" After Marcus looked at them, Simon asked the question that the three were most concerned about.

"...Go, go to the hospital."
