SHEEP

Yi Heye heard the words and asked, "How do you say it?"

Hearing her hesitation, Yi Heye said indifferently: "Since you are asking for help, show some sincerity."

Lu Qing took a deep breath, and then said in pain: "Ah Qi and I... were hunted down..."

Aqi's name is Chen Yueqi, and she is Lu Qing's girlfriend.According to Lu Qing, they moved away from the tattoo shop because they were broken into the shop several times.

Lu Qing said: "Several times at night, I'm sure they wanted our lives."

At the beginning, they were followed by strange people, from Wenhua Street to where they lived, and later, some people wandered back and forth in front of the store, and even tried to attack them several times.

Lu Qing said: "...Because I have studied martial arts, I am relatively vigilant. When I felt a little weird for the first time, I made some preparations."

The "preparation" mentioned by Lu Qing, in addition to all-round monitoring, also included the gun Yi Heye saw last time, which was beyond the scope of "preparation" for ordinary people, and Yi Heye was no exception.

"But I still can't bear it anymore..." At this point, Lu Qing's voice began to tremble, "No matter where we move, they can find them. Yesterday our air vehicle was almost shot down from the sky. We haven't had a good night's sleep for a while, Aqi is very emotional now, I don't know how long we can live..."

Yi Heye listened to the whole thing in silence, as if he was not surprised by her situation, and spoke very calmly: "You escaped from Area E, didn't you?"

Lu Qing didn't expect that he would ask such a sensitive topic when he opened his mouth, and he didn't dare to answer in a daze.

Yi Heye continued to speak, without any politeness at all: "The tattoo on your back is to cover the logo of Area E. As a non-official employee, you can get a lot of guns. I'm afraid this channel is not accessible to ordinary people."

Seeing that Lu Qing was still silent, Yi Heye said indifferently: "If you don't need help, you don't have to admit it."

"Yes." When Lu Qing heard this, he finally became anxious, "Yes, we escaped from Area E. I used to..."

Yi Heye didn't want to hear the tragic and sad stories of what they experienced before and why they were imprisoned, so he interrupted gently: "Where are you? Who are there around?"

Lu Qing's voice was trembling with excitement: "Shui Yuntian in District D, they are downstairs now, with weapons in their hands, they seem to have found them, we don't know how long they can last..."

Yi Heye responded, "I'll be there soon."

According to Yi Heye's habits, he naturally likes to fight alone. On weekdays, let alone a dozen AIs, even a guy with a gun in a train carriage, Yi Heye is also confident that he can easily handle it by himself.

But he had just left the shooting range, and the feeling of holding the handle of the gun in his hand hadn't dissipated, and his fingertips were still trembling slightly.

He sighed, scolded himself as a piece of trash, and then dialed Director Li's phone in desperation:

"Hello? Director Li, some people reported to the police that they were surrounded by more than a dozen AIs. I'm afraid I can't handle it by myself. Please send some people to accompany me."

Director Li was silent for a moment, without asking where the people came from to contact Yi Heye, and without asking why he couldn't even handle a dozen AIs, he immediately said: "Okay, I will arrange it immediately, and you will update the relevant information in time." Condition."

In just a moment, the two hunters who were on duty at the unit were ready to go and join Yi Heye.

Yi Heye found that he didn't know many people in his work unit except for a few leaders who met frequently.

The two older hunters were quite polite and greeted Yi Heye, who also nodded and briefly explained the case.

After explaining, Yi Heye fixed the equipment, and after much deliberation he hesitated and explained: "It's like this, I got hurt in the previous mission..."

"Understood." The hunter surnamed Sun nodded, "Leave it to me and Old Chen."

For official duties, all the special duty vehicles equipped in the bureau were used, and they were not subject to air traffic control, so they arrived at the scene as quickly as possible.

Shuiyuntian is a leisure club on Zhongxin Street. The first and second floors are teahouses and billiard rooms, and the third floor is for long-term accommodation.

After the three people arrived at the scene, they immediately confirmed the scene environment with the survey robot.

"Twelve AIs are concentrated in the corridor on the third floor, and they are violently demolishing room 309. The guests on the same floor have already evacuated themselves, and there are no other safety hazards."

After Lao Chen reported the situation, the three of them directly surrounded the floor from both sides.

Yi Heye, who was used to rushing in the front row, hesitated this time, and just followed behind Lao Sun.

These two people seemed more reliable, after all, they were recruited into the bureau after passing the assessment, so Yi Heye felt at ease with them.

In fact, he was most worried about himself. The shooting training just now made him completely lose his confidence. He didn't even know if he would be able to pick up a gun again and be qualified for this job in the future.

After entering the third floor, there was a loud banging on the door from the end of the corridor.The AI ​​at the front directly held the ax and slashed at the doorknob.

Fortunately, strong metal doors are now being used in the market, providing temporary protection for Lu Qing and the others against attacks.

But even so, the powerful offensive is still thrilling to hear.

After a quick observation of the situation, the three of them immediately moved according to the original plan. Lao Chen, who was more mobile, was in charge of the east side, and the elder Sun led the broken Yi Heye to the west side.

Yi Heye hid behind the old grandson, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart - how could the original self need to make plans so carefully, outflank from both ends, and be protected by others?As long as the bullets in his gun are loaded, the AI ​​in this corridor will reach the mandatory scrapping time limit.

With a confirmation gesture on the opposite side, both sides immediately started to act.As soon as the AI ​​on the other side noticed the situation, they turned around and took a bullet from Lao Sun.

A muffled sound of "bang" exploded in his mind, and Yi Heye felt uncomfortable rationally, and the images that shouldn't be recalled frantically attacked him in an instant. At that moment, the nearest AI fell down, and his eyes began to blur In vain.

"Bang!" Another sound, it was Lao Chen who fired. Before Yi Heye had time to think of anything this time, his stomach began to convulse—vomiting.

But this is just the beginning. Of the twelve AIs in this corridor, excluding the ones who missed or couldn't be killed by a single shot, Yi Heye's journey to cross the tribulation is only worth two-twelfths of the past.

In the hail of bullets, Yi Heye even felt that he was about to be exhausted - he thought he just didn't dare to shoot, but he didn't expect that just listening to the sound of gunfire would make him almost unable to hold on.

Drenched in cold sweat, he leaned against the wall and looked at the battlefield in front of him—Lao Li and Lao Sun's abilities were quite satisfactory, and their basic qualities passed the test, but their reactions and movements were too slow, and there were flaws all over their bodies. High, it was probably transformed from functional AI for civilian use. The entire team used cold weapons, knives, forks and axes, which naturally couldn't cut through steaming bullets. After a while, this floor was almost cleared.

Seeing that the rescue of the hostages was in sight, the two old men breathed a sigh of relief, and were about to open the door to take Lu Qing and the others away when they heard a "kuang".

Turning around, Yi Heye was panting and kneeling on top of a violent AI. The bastard had been pretending to be dead just now, and wanted to take the opportunity to give these two a sneak attack.

Suppressing the other party's strong resistance, Yi Heye felt relieved a little bit - just now, it proved that his reaction speed was still on the line, even without a gun, he could barely play a role.

"Be careful." Lao Sun took the dead ghost in a panic, fastened the restraint lock on him, and confirmed that there was no other danger on one side, and finally knocked out the designated signal given by Lu Qing——the door opened from the inside.

On the other side of the door were Lu Qing, who was obviously haggard, and Chen Yueqi, whose eyes were swollen from crying. They were still in a daze, as if they couldn't believe that the war just now was over.

Old Chen showed them his ID: "The Administration of Artificial Intelligence, you are safe now."

The two girls finally couldn't hold back and hugged and cried.

After finally waiting for them to calm down, Lao Sun saw the stitches and said, "Please come with us to the bureau. We need to make a record of what happened today."

This sentence seemed to scare Chen Yueqi, she glanced at Lu Qing in a panic, and then immediately looked at Yi Heye.

"Please contact the recycle bin, trace the origin of this group of AIs, and record a statement for those who haven't been scrapped." Yi Heye looked at Lao Sun, then pointed at the two girls with his chin, "I will tell you about the two of them." Director Li asked in person, so I won’t bother you here.”

Fortunately, both Lao Sun and Lao Chen were past the age when curiosity killed the cat, and they would follow Yi Heye's arrangements.

"Be careful." Lao Sun explained before leaving, "Contact anytime if necessary."

Yi Heye nodded to express his gratitude to him.

As soon as Lao Sun and Lao Li left, Lu Qing anxiously asked Yi Heye, "Is this really okay? Our identities..."

Yi Heye glanced at her and said, "At least our administration won't take your life casually."

It's possible to fight back and go to jail again, but it's much better than dying on the way to kill.

Half an hour later, they returned to the Security Bureau. Director Li, who had reached retirement age, was forced to work in the middle of the night, making him look even older.

As soon as the two girls saw the leader, they immediately buried their heads listlessly.

Director Li smiled: "Don't worry, our Artificial Intelligence Administration is only in charge of our own affairs."

He obviously knew the origin of these two, but he obviously chose to turn a blind eye and not report it.

"Don't be nervous, just chat casually." Director Li took them to a room. There was no interrogation room's horrible bondage chairs, and there was no ubiquitous surveillance. There was only a long table and two rows of chairs. There are also two cups of tea that the little robot just handed over.

They didn't even ask questions separately, and the girls finally let go of their wariness.

"We have been escaping from it for five years..." Lu Qing said, "In the past five years, we have changed our appearance and lived well. No one is looking after us. I don't know why during this time, suddenly..."

"Are you sure it's because of the escape?" Director Li guided, "Could it be that you offended someone outside recently?"

"No, I'm sure." Chen Yueqi whispered, "Zhao Qiangqiang, who escaped like us, was killed a few days ago... It is said that he was beaten to death and thrown into the artificial lake ..."

According to her, this Zhao Qiangqiang also escaped from Area E not long ago. After being introduced by a friend, he quietly came to Lu Qing's place to get a tattoo to block the mark, and he had a brief relationship with them.

Lu Qing said: "Because we are fugitives, we use fake names and identities, and we dare not call the police when encountering such things... I'm not sure if this is a new policy in Zone E, but I don't think it's official. , they can recall us first instead of killing us directly..."

This feeling is a bit like trying to silence, but obviously, Lu Qing doesn't know what he has to silence.

When Yi Heye heard this, all he could think of was the male college student he caught before. Not long after he was caught, he was forced to cut off the power and format it, as if he was afraid that he would say something and others would hear it. .

The two girls chatted a lot intermittently, and Yi Heye listened carefully, and after the two of them settled down, the sky had already brightened.

An old man and a young man walked in silence on the way back to rest. After a long time, Yi Heye broke the calm with his mouth.

"Director Li..." He tentatively asked, "Do you think it's necessary to go to Area E?"
