Do androids dream of the sun?

"How did Cyril die?"

"Very few people know the real reason. Lance held the funeral silently. Some people say it was a suicide, while others say it was an accident. According to what I've heard, there are many conspiracy theories about the struggle of wealthy families."

"They seem to have a good relationship, why are there still struggles?"

"Because the heir of the Bots Group was originally supposed to be Cyril."

As Lu Xiang said, he walked up slowly while supporting the cold concrete wall.The other two were slightly behind by two steps. Xiao Le put his left hand on Zhong Ziyang's waist, and lifted his other hand up a little, so that the light could be aimed at the stairs in front of him.

After Zhong Ziyang copied the encrypted file rack and all the information about Lu Xiang, several people left the laboratory.According to Lu Xiang, the stairs behind this password door should lead to the exit. In the past, Mike and his companions would transport the boxes in the corner from here every other week or so.When they opened the door just now, they could still see the mechanical arm installed on the wall, shining coldly under the light leaking from the laboratory.

After Lu Xiang vented, most of his timidity faded away, and he trusted Zhong Ziyang and Xiao Le more and more, so he talked more.Taking advantage of the long and silent road, she continued the unfinished topic to satisfy Zhong Ziyang's curiosity.

She said slowly: "To be honest, among the Botts family, Lance Botts is actually the most unsuitable one."

"But he manages the company pretty well now." Zhong Ziyang was puzzled.Although Lance has a weird temper, he does manage Botts Group in an orderly manner.It is an indisputable fact that a huge group finally rose to its current status under Lance's rule.

Lu Xiang shook his head: "At the beginning, everyone said that Cyril was a natural manager. He was trained as an heir since he was a child, and the knowledge he received must be systematic. If Bots Group falls into his hands In the world, it will only be more prosperous than it is now, and it is even impossible for the Farr virus incident to occur back then. There is still a gap between Lance, who became a monk halfway and was driven away from the shelves."

"However, if you let go of all your prejudices and say something seriously." Lu Xiang sighed silently, "Lance, it's a pity."

"Why?" Zhong Ziyang involuntarily stepped forward two steps, trying to hear Lu Xiang's words more clearly.

"Although Lance is weak and sick, God compensated him with a smart brain. Just like Cyril was born to be in a high position, he was destined to be a genetic designer. Without his research results, Bots would probably be the same as the current Burton wasn't much different."

Zhong Ziyang was reminded by her, and finally remembered: "Oh yes...Lance is also the designer of the third generation of bionics."

Xiao Le was a little surprised, and glanced at him sideways.

Zhong Ziyang touched his nose in embarrassment, and whispered: "I read it in the textbook before, it's been too long, I forgot."

He used to lament the power of Lance with his classmates in school.Later, after I really entered Bots and got in touch with Lance a lot, the filter has long been shattered into a mess, leaving only a solid businessman image, and I have long since left this matter behind.

What's more, in this era when the fifth generation of bionics has been popularized, and even the sixth generation has been put on the agenda, people who remember the fourth generation have gradually become rare, let alone its designer.

"I haven't been to school. I don't know about three or four generations." Lu Xiang shrugged. She stopped and touched her body with her good hand, trying to find a cigarette, but suddenly Remembering that I didn't even have a place to put things on my body, and Zhong Ziyang's coat pocket was also empty, so he could only support the wall and continue walking, and said, "But, I heard someone say such a sentence back then. , if there is no Louis, Lance will be the greatest genetic designer in Noah City."

Zhong Ziyang looked at Xiao Le subconsciously, and asked deliberately: "What about after having Louis?"

When Xiao Le heard this, the light on the bracelet flickered inadvertently, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The Lewis formula, those of you who have read the book, should know better than me, right?" Lu Xiang smiled lightly, "Besides, Lance is no longer a genetic designer."

Research is a persistent thing, as short as a year and a half, as long as 20 or [-] years, and it takes a lot of time and energy.From the moment Lance inherited the Botts Group, his identity as a genetic designer has been buried in the long river of memory.

Zhong Ziyang echoed repeatedly.Obviously he wasn't talking about himself, but a burst of pride came from the bottom of his heart, and he winked at Xiao Le with a smug face.

Xiao Le was a little helpless, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up a bit, his hands lightly rested on Zhong Ziyang's back, and he raised his eyes to Lu Xiang: "Then what's going on with Cyril and this laboratory?"

"I don't know much about him. But he does often go to the lower city, and even often goes to the F area, under the name of looking for the factory site."

"Factory, factory site?!" Zhong Ziyang was surprised.

Lu Xiang nodded slightly.

Area F looks like a slum on the surface, but it is actually very rich in energy minerals.Leaving aside the underground, the scrapped robots and bionics on the ground alone are enough to pile up a mountain, and if they are sent to the recycling center to be rebuilt, they will become new resources.

"I guess, this laboratory was also built by Cyril during that time, for Lance and his research." Lu Xiang said indifferently, "After all, with Lance's physical condition, he couldn't leave Area A at all."

Zhong Ziyang stroked his chin and thought, "Is it possible... that Cyril built more than one laboratory?"

Lu Xiang was taken aback for a moment: "I don't know, Boci has built seven factories in the lower city, maybe there will be some of them."

If there were really seven laboratories, all of them would look like the one in the bar, Zhong Ziyang would feel chills all over his body and couldn't help shivering as long as he thought about it for a while.

Xiao Le patted him on the back twice with comfort, and thought to Lu, "How do you know these things?"

"I heard half of it at work." Lu Xiang knew that they would definitely ask again and again, so he simply told his background, "I used to work in District A. From my point of view, you are also from there, right?"

"Hmm..." Zhong Ziyang responded wholeheartedly, wondering, "Then why did you come here?"

Lu Xiang smiled self-deprecatingly: "The place where I work is too man-eating. I happened to meet a friend. She helped me escape and brought me to Area F."

"You wanted to escape by yourself?!"

Zhong Ziyang stopped in his tracks, his eyes on Lu Xiang became extremely hot, and his brain began to work rapidly.This was the first time he had heard of bionics voluntarily escaping from their workplaces. Lu thought that the situation meant that some bionics might have developed a sense of autonomy and even started to resist.

Lu Xiang was frightened by his attitude, and took a step back: "It doesn't count, it was my friend who chatted with me for a while, and I suddenly felt that I couldn't stay there any longer..."

"That friend of yours, where is she now?!" Zhong Ziyang's eyes lit up, and he walked closer involuntarily.

"This...I don't know either."

Lu Xiang was about to stick herself to the wall, and she didn't know where she had hit Zhong Ziyang, so she felt very anxious.Seeing Zhong Ziyang getting closer, Xiao Le frowned, stretched out his hand and pulled him to his side: "Yangyang."

Zhong Ziyang suddenly came back to his senses, stepped back again and again, and waved to Lu Xiang: "I'm sorry, I was too excited... By the way, you said that she took you to the F area, did you go to the village that guy just mentioned?"

Before they left, in order to prevent Mike from raising the alarm, after dealing with his wounds, they were tied to the operating table.Mike was delirious by then, and wanted to yell at Landing, saying things like "village," "stuff," and "no one can get away."After Zhong Ziyang thought about it for a while, he was able to connect with what he said to his companion at the door of the cell.

"Yeah." Lu Xiang probably remembered the plan Mike mentioned, his face was pale, and his expression was slightly angry, "They want me to be a guide and go to the village to catch people."

"There are bionics in your village?"

"To be precise," Lu Xiang sighed, and tightened his coat a little, "most of the village are bionics."

A tribe of androids.

Zhong Ziyang's eyes widened, he was so surprised that he fell silent for a moment, all kinds of thoughts flooded into his mind, and the doubts were crowded to the brim.He opened his mouth, but didn't know which one to ask first.

Xiao Le happened to break the silence: "We are here."

Zhong Ziyang looked up, and a familiar password door appeared in front of them, only a flight of stairs left.

Its combination lock was the same as the one when he came in, Xiao Le still twisted it casually, and the door lock opened with a click.Looking out from the crack of the door, it is indeed the alley at the back door of the bar.

Lu Xiang was the first one to go out. She had just gone out when she saw some interesting expression on her pretty face under the neon lights.

Zhong Ziyang and Xiao Le didn't know why, so they followed closely and stepped out of the door, and they were stunned on the spot as soon as they closed the password door.

The narrow alley was chaotic. In just a few tens of meters, there were more than a dozen people dressed as gangsters lying there. Some were holding their stomachs and whimpering like gnats. Bye.Besides the three of them, there were only two men standing in the audience. One of them had blond hair and pressed the other against the back door of the bar. Some sound of water could be faintly heard, and the air was filled with the smell of no evil.

He felt that the three of them should be on the roof, not here.

To Lu Xiang, this kind of scene was purely pediatrics. Judging by her appearance, she completely regarded everything in front of her as a drama.Xiao Le looked calm, as if he didn't see anything.Only Zhong Ziyang was so embarrassed that he wanted to get back into the password door.

He tugged on the sleeves of Lu Xiang and Xiao Le, and motioned them to leave quickly while they were not paying attention.Unexpectedly, they had barely taken two steps when the person pressed against the wall pushed the blond man violently, and then slapped him on the face with such force that there were echoes in the alley.

The man immediately shouted: "Wake me up!"

Zhong Ziyang paused, feeling that the voice sounded familiar, but when he looked back, the man under the pressure kept struggling, and happened to reveal half of his blushing face, it was Du Ningqi.

Du Ningqi raised his head and happened to meet Zhong Ziyang's eyes, everyone was taken aback.

Zhong Ziyang: "..."

Xiao Le: "?"

Lu Xiang's tone was a little meaningful: "Oh... so I know you."
