[Detroit] No Paradise

Marcus opened his eyes after disconnecting the communication.

The current situation of bionics is unprecedentedly severe, almost a dilemma.It is difficult for them to fight against the human army in a frontal conflict. If they adopt peaceful means of resistance, they may not get corresponding returns while paying a huge price. If they keep hiding here, they will only let the outside world be arrested and sent to concentration camps The fellow bionics died one after another.

At this moment, all the androids in Jericho inevitably had a haze in their hearts, and Marcus was no exception.When he heard that Joshua was fine, this rare good news finally made him feel a little more relaxed.

He walked towards Connor, who was leaning motionless against the corner in a daze, the LED light on his forehead was always flashing yellow, dutifully showing that its owner was in a state of confusion at the moment.

"Connor."

Connor was awakened from his daze, and raised his head to look at Marcus: "...Marcus?"

He looks out of shape.Marcus thought.Since he came here, he has been alone without saying a word, and he is at odds with the atmosphere of Jericho.There are still many bionics here that he has hunted down, including Marcus himself. Perhaps only Connor knows what it feels like to be under the same roof with his former mortal enemy.

What's more, he still has Joshua's huge knot in his heart. If Joshua doesn't hear from him for a second, he will suffer for another second.

"Joshua, he..." Marcus paused, looked at Connor's slightly widened eyes, and couldn't help smiling: "He's fine."

"..." As if stunned by the good news that fell from the sky, Connor stared at Marcus with wide eyes and opened his mouth slightly. After a long while, he asked with some uncertainty: "Really...really?" Is it?"

"Yeah." Marcus nodded, "Hank just contacted me and told me that Joshua is awake."

Connor's whole body froze, and after a long while, he leaned against the wall as if drained of strength, closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

The LED light on his forehead also slowly turned back to blue, shining a soft light in the dark corner.

He suddenly wanted to meet Joshua, but he was afraid.Not only because of Hank's threats, but more importantly, he found that he had lost the courage to face Joshua.

He didn't understand many things until he truly awakened, and it was too late for him to understand.

Connor felt that it was largely his fault that the group of bionics had come to this point.Joshua desperately wanted to help the bionic man, he couldn't let Joshua's hard work go to waste.Besides, he had to make up for the mistakes he had made against his own people.

"I'm going to tell North and the others the news." Seeing that Connor seemed to have relaxed, Marcus prepared to leave.

"Wait." Connor stopped Marcus.

Marcus had already walked away, but when he heard Connor's voice calling him, he turned around and looked at Connor: "Is there anything else?"

Connor took a step forward, hesitated, and asked, "How's the situation outside now?"

Marcus shook his head: "Not very good."

He briefly explained the external situation to Connor, and Connor listened carefully. After Marcus finished speaking, he looked up into Marcus' eyes and said, "I have a way..."

"what?"

"There are thousands of bionics in the warehouse of simulated life, if they can join us, it will be a great help to us." Connor said.

"..." Marcus was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to understand. He felt that Connor's idea was really unbelievable: "You want to infiltrate the life control building? Connor, this is suicide!"

"Perhaps." Connor didn't deny this statement, but there was no trace of fear or retreat on his face, suicide?How many so-called suicides did Marcus and Joshua do?Sometimes they have to do some extremely dangerous things for the sake of faith and a better future, and now, it's their turn. "Let me go and try, Marcus, the cyborgs trust me, they'll let me in, and if anyone can infiltrate the cyborg building, it's just me."

"They're going to kill you, Connor." Marcus shook his head disapprovingly.

"The probability is very high..." Connor said calmly, "But statistically speaking, things that are unlikely to happen still have a probability of happening."

Such as one's own awakening.

Such as the victory of this war.

Such as the future of android freedom.

Marcus looked into his eyes and realized suddenly that there was nothing he could do to stop this man.

He stepped forward and patted Connor on the shoulder lightly.

"Be careful."

……

On the other side, Perkins looked at Joshua with a gloomy face. The blood pressure on the display screen of the medical monitoring equipment beside him had begun to drop, his pupils had also begun to dilate, and his eyes gradually lost focus. It was obvious that he was severely hypoxic, but even Even so, he still looked at himself with a smile on his face, not intending to give in at all.

"If you think about it, just nod." Perkins whispered, "Listen, Joshua, I don't want to kill you, as long as you cooperate, I can guarantee that your sentence will be greatly reduced after this war is over, understand ?"

Joshua watched Perkins' mouth open and close, but he couldn't hear what he was saying at all. He felt that his consciousness was a little fuzzy, as if he could fall asleep at any time, and his chest hurt like a tear , this pain kept him awake.

A detective on the side said with some concern: "He may be suffocated..."

"Damn!" Perkins cursed, glanced at the ventilator on the side, and wanted to try again, he leaned into Joshua's ear and said, "Listen, this is my last warning, if you still refuse If you don’t cooperate, I swear that I will put you in jail.”

"..." Joshua's pupils moved slightly, looked at Perkins, and then nodded very slightly.

Perkins thought his threat had worked, and Joshua's condition seemed to be getting worse and worse. He didn't dare to kill people in a public place like a hospital, so he quickly pressed the switch of the ventilator , continue to supply oxygen.

Oxygen continued to be delivered, and Joshua felt the pain in his chest slowly subside, and the feeling of suffocation like being strangled in his throat slowly disappeared. Only then could he look at Perkins, smiled easily, and then opened his eyes. He opened his mouth and mouthed a word to him.

Perkins couldn't read his mouth: "What did you say?"

Joshua repeated it patiently.

This time Perkins understood what Joshua said:

"See you again, Babazi."

When he said this, he even had a smile on his face, as kind and polite as if he was saying good evening to the other party, but what he said immediately made Perkins furious.

"Okay, okay, okay..." Perkins laughed angrily, "It's still tough, so let's continue and see who can outperform whom!"

He stretched out his hand to press the button of the ventilator again, when suddenly there was a gunshot outside.

"boom!"

All the FBI agents in the room immediately went on alert. Perkins was startled by the gunshot and failed to press the button of the ventilator. Joshua, who smiled amiably, glanced at him: "I'll deal with you later."

After finishing speaking, he pulled out his pistol, pushed open the door of the ward and walked out.

Gunshots rang out at this juncture, and Perkins could only think of the bionics attacking the hospital.After all, there is an accomplice of a bionic person in the hospital. I heard that the group of mutated plastic garbage can simulate human emotions, so it is really uncertain whether they will come to save this hateful criminal.

A group of people ran to the place where the gunshots sounded, their guns raised high for guarding, but they were all stunned when they saw the scene of the incident.

Hank held up the gun in his hand, pointing the muzzle at a kneeling bionic man. The bionic man's chest was hit by a bullet, and blue blood splashed on the ground, dyeing a thin piece of snow dark blue.

Perkins' first reaction was: "Sure enough, it's a bionic man." The second reaction was: "Why is there only one person?"

Connor 60, who was caught off guard and shot in the chest by Hank, stared at Hank in disbelief, and asked in a voice mixed with the sound of electricity after a long while: "Vice-captain, you..."

"Don't call me the vice-captain." Hank said, "I don't know you. I only know that the whole city is on alert now, and the bionics will catch one when they see it."

Connor 60 looked down at the gunshot wound on his chest. The shot wasn't fatal, but what made him even more incomprehensible was Hank's attitude. What did his predecessor do during the time when he lost his memory?He knew that Hank didn't like him, but based on his understanding of Hank's character, it was impossible for him to pretend that he didn't know him!Moreover, shooting without saying a word as soon as they meet is clearly the attitude towards a deadly enemy!

"Why are there bionics here!?" Perkins was already furious, but when he saw a bionic, he immediately poured all his anger on Connor 60, "Kill him!"

Following his order, the FBI agents with their guns pulled the trigger immediately. Before Connor 60 had time to reveal his identity, his biological components were completely destroyed, and countless alarm interfaces flashed in front of his eyes. , only had time to upload the memory at the fastest speed, and heard Hank's voice one second before the machine was about to shut down:

"I didn't break you, don't make me lose money."

"..." Connor 60 wanted to say something, but his system completely collapsed at this moment, the LED light on his forehead went out instantly, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say again.

mission failed.

Hank looked at Connor 60 who was completely lifeless, put away the gun in his hand slowly, patted the snowflakes on his body, glanced at Perkins happily, and couldn't help but smiled gloatingly at him, It seems that this guy Perkins has lost money and lost his fortune.

Killing a counterfeit and making a poor asshole, Hank was very satisfied with his double-edged plan, and his steps became much lighter.

Perkins' back was chilled by Hank's inexplicable smile, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only stare bitterly at being hit by countless bullets. The sieved Connor took a look at 60, and walked quickly back to the hospital.

When he was about to go back to Joshua's ward, the communicator suddenly rang. Perkins stopped and picked up the communicator.

Soon he put down the communicator and said to the agents behind him: "If there is an emergency, go to Wuwo Avenue immediately, hurry up!"

"Then...do you leave that person alone?" one of the detectives asked.

"Leave two people to watch him, and the others follow me." Perkins ordered two people at random, and then hurriedly walked outside the hospital.

It is obviously more urgent to solve the real emergency than to force a confession from a human being who may never speak.Wuwo Avenue is very close to the Bionic Human Recovery Center. There have been a considerable number of Bionic Humans nearby, and more force is needed to suppress them. The nearest FBI team is the Perkins team. They must immediately Go there for support.

"Understood." The FBI staff acted immediately and efficiently.

Hank watched the FBI personnel leave the hospital, and quickly walked towards Joshua's ward. He turned his head and glanced at the two FBI agents standing at the door of Joshua's ward. The two were like door gods, one left and one right Standing still, staring straight ahead without moving, did not stop Hank from entering the ward.

"Joshua!" Hank rushed in, looking nervously at Joshua who was lying motionless on the bed, "Are you okay? Those bastards didn't do anything to you, did they?"

Joshua slightly turned his head to look at the nervous Hank, smiled at him reassuringly, then shook his head, indicating that those people didn't do anything to him, and told Hank not to worry.

"That's good." Hank breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly smiled gloatingly, and said, "I've seen Perkins upset a long time ago, and he's probably going to be unlucky now, so he's avenging you .”

Joshua looked at Hank with some doubts, and Hank saw Joshua's confusion, so he described what happened just now to Joshua.

"Fortunately, I was in contact with your bionic friends. He told me that it wasn't Connor. I thought it was probably sent by the simulated life. It happened that I was also unhappy with this face, so I shot... ..."

Hank paused at this point, thinking about whether Joshua would be angry because he shot someone who looked the same as Connor because of Joshua's love for Connor, so he looked at Joshua without any trace. Looking at Shu Ya's expression, he found that the latter's expression was still the same as usual, and he didn't show any distressed or angry expressions, so he continued to talk with confidence.

"Then those idiots from the FBI ran out when they heard the gunshots, and Perkins asked them to shoot and kill the bionic man who looked the same as Connor, hahahaha, that bastard Perkins probably didn't even dream I know how much I have to lose hahaha..."

Hank laughed happily. Joshua couldn't help but also laughed when he thought of the soaring Perkins, who was so proud that he wanted to kick his head, and frown while holding the indemnity bill. As a result, he couldn't hold back his cough. When he got up, his wound was so painful that his tears were about to burst out.

Hank looked at Joshua with a painful expression while laughing, and was startled: "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Joshua glared at Hank angrily, and mouthed, "Don't make me laugh, please? It hurts."

Hank understood what Joshua meant, and then restrained himself a little: "Okay, okay, I won't laugh."

"Where's the Perkins?"

This guy hasn't asked any useful information from himself, and he doesn't feel like the kind of person who will give up at will.

"He answered a phone call, and then left in a hurry." Hank said, "It's probably because there's something going on with the bionic man."

"How's the situation outside now?" Joshua asked.

What he is most concerned about now is not his own physical problems, but the current situation of the bionics.It seems that the government's suppression of androids is ruthless and thorough. If they can't take measures tonight, they may never have a chance to turn things around.

"I don't know." Speaking of the situation outside, Hank also became serious. He sighed, raised the bed board of Joshua's upper body a little, kept him in a sitting position, and opened the wall of the ward The electronic screen on the phone was tuned to Channel [-], which was broadcasting live news, "It is probably broadcasting the current situation now, what the hell, how long has there been no civil war in this country..."

"The reporter is currently broadcasting live in Detroit. Thousands of bionics are parading in the city. The leader of the abnormal bionics is named 'Marcus', and he is at the forefront of the parade..."

The reporter of Channel [-] broadcast the video of the incident on the helicopter. Joshua sighed softly, thinking: He still chose to use this peaceful way to fight. Maybe there is Maku in Jericho. It is a very lucky thing to have someone like Si as the leader.

He seems to have an admirable divinity. In him, no one can feel the violence, resentment, anger and all the negative emotions that will be felt when facing unfair treatment. Tranquility is detachment, compassion and fraternity after seeing all the ugliness in the world.

Joshua didn't know what he had experienced, and he didn't ask him why he became an abnormal bionic person, but he sincerely admired Marcus at the moment, and he asked himself that he would never be able to do this step, maybe this is Marcus The reason why Si can become the leader who leads the androids to freedom.

It's just that this road to freedom is bound to be accompanied by countless sacrifices.

Joshua and Hank watched the broadcast quietly, watching batch after batch of bionics fall under the guns, watching them being relentlessly attacked by human artillery even though they had expressed their peaceful attitude. Mercilessly hurt.

They were cornered, they were surrounded by human armies, but none surrendered.The belief in freedom makes them never bow their heads even if the flag is broken and blue blood is everywhere.

In the end, surrounded by countless guns, when Marcus bowed his head and kissed North in desperation, Joshua suddenly thought of Connor.

He doesn't see Connor on camera, not once.

Hank, who was sitting next to Joshua, saw the rebroadcast and knew that it was the last moment.He saw Joshua's bionic friends exposed to the guns without any cover, and they would be pierced by bullets at any time. Finally, he couldn't bear to watch any more, stood up, and said, "It's over, I'll turn off the TV." Lose……"

He was about to take two steps forward to turn off the TV, but he felt a very weak force grabbing the corner of his clothes.

Hank froze for a moment, then turned to look at Joshua.The latter's hand with the intravenous indwelling needle gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, and quickly let go without any strength.

Joshua smiled when Hank noticed him, and shook his head slightly.

"It's not over yet," he said.

Silent but firm.

Hank was stunned for a moment, as if touched by the light in his eyes, he subconsciously sat back and looked at the electronic screen again.

Then they witnessed a historic moment in this small and dark ward.

The heavily armed soldiers put down their guns, turned and left.The broadcast screen switched to the White House. On the electronic screen, President Warren issued a live broadcast of a statement that shocked the world.

"Today, at the dawn of November 2038, 11, thousands of androids took to the streets of Detroit. According to our intelligence sources, these androids came from the Mock Life Warehouse, and it was determined that they were infiltrated by anomalous androids .Due to the large number of androids and the risk of harming innocents in an engagement, I have ordered the military to withdraw. In the next few hours, I will be presenting my opinion in the Senate on how we should respond to this unprecedented situation. Maybe humans should start Think about whether bionics can be regarded as a new form of intelligent life..."

"They did it..." Hank murmured.

Joshua lay on the bed, watching Connor who finally appeared on the live broadcast and walking in front of countless bionics, felt something slowly blooming in his heart. The sky was full and the ground was covered with snow, but he felt an unprecedented warmth.

Yeah, they did.

The world changed forever at this moment.
