Do androids dream of the sun?

"This thing is too complicated..."

Zhong Ziyang muttered softly, pacing back and forth under the dim light tube, his eyes fixed on the thin piece of wood in his hand.

"Can you really read a map?" Aaron yelled. "It's been 10 minutes!"

Du Ningqi tugged on his sleeve lightly, signaling him to calm down, Aaron said a little aggrieved, "Wait any longer, they should finish their meeting."

"Right now, give me some more time!"

Zhong Ziyang was also very helpless, he was trying to catch the ducks on the shelves, no matter how smart he was, he couldn't understand a brand new encrypted map in a short period of time.

According to Lu Xiang, Black knew their identities a long time ago, and there was no doubt about their ulterior motives. The group immediately picked up their luggage and chose to run. Even the plan was discussed while walking.Fortunately, Lu Xiang disguised himself well, deceived many people along the way, and successfully brought them to the air corridor.

They thought that holding the map in their hands, the exit was close at hand, but they didn't know that this secret road was the real difficulty.

Zhong Ziyang turned the map in one direction, and quickly slid his fingertips along the lines. He tried several lines, but they were all broken halfway without any accident. Most importantly, the following strange sentence was even more clueless .The more he looked at it, the more he felt a throbbing pain in his forehead, and the earthworm-like lines were really dizzying.

But they don't have enough time.When the meeting is over, no, maybe not at all, those people will find that the reception room is empty.

Zhong Ziyang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his impatience, and was about to bite the bullet and look down.A hand stretched out from the side to take away the wooden plank, Xiao Le fiddled with it, pondered for a moment: "Lu Xiang, are you sure this is really a secret road map?"

"I'm sure." Lu Xiang was standing against the wall, "It says 'Secret entrance, keep it carefully'."

Zhong Ziyang suddenly raised his head: "Do you understand?!"

Lu Xiang was taken aback for a moment: "I can only understand the bottom sentence, which is a code word that Lu Nian and I created before, and the rest are..."

Xiao Le interrupted her without saying a word, and handed over the paper and pen: "Write down the code word, hurry up."

The situation was urgent, and Lu Xiang dared not neglect it, so he wrote it down as he said.Xiao Le directly used the wooden board as a cushion, picked up the pen and quickly started calculations on the remaining paper, and used up half of the paper in less than 2 minutes.Immediately afterwards, he pulled the board up from below, and wrote and drew on the original map without hesitation.After a while, Xiao Le finally put away his pen under the surprised or distressed gazes of the others, and pointed to the left side of the forked road ahead: "Go this way."

"Did you untie it?" Zhong Ziyang picked up his luggage and followed his footsteps.

"Well, it's not difficult." Xiao Le handed him the paper and board in his hand, and Zhong Ziyang looked through them at a glance.In fact, according to the situation of Lu Nian and Black, it is absolutely impossible for them to use such a sophisticated encryption method. With the key, the rest will be solved naturally, but Zhong Ziyang did not expect that the key would be in Lu Xiang's possession.

He turned the board over and found a small word "Nian" on the lower right corner of the back: "Lu Xiang, is this board given to you by Lu Nian?"

Lu Xiang's voice came from the end of the line: "No, I stole it."

"..." Zhong Ziyang was a little puzzled, "You didn't go to her?"

"I didn't see her," Lu Xiangdan said, "It was an emergency, so I went directly into her room."

Zhong Ziyang nodded knowingly, and did not continue to ask, only Lu wanted to know that he had lied.

She was actually very lucky, maybe because of this face and the identity of the bionic person, or maybe because the people here are not serious, she just found a reasonable reason, and found Lu Nian under the guidance of others s room.

But she didn't go forward, but stood far behind the corner, looking at the closed door.Not long after, the door opened, and Black put his arms around Lu Nian's shoulders. The two walked out of the room one after another, and walked to the other direction of the corridor together, occasionally turning their heads to whisper, and behaved very intimately.

Lu Xiang looked at the backs of the two of them quietly, and suddenly remembered that when Lu Nian came to deliver food, he gently asked himself in sign language: "You feel very familiar to me, did we know each other before?"

Numerous affirmative answers swirled in Lu Xiang's throat a few times, but the alienation in Lu Nian's eyes was like a sharp sword, piercing her nerves, and she had to choose another answer that didn't hurt.

Lu Xiang had no intention of looking for Lu Nian from the very beginning. She might not harm them, but it was absolutely impossible for her to confront Black for a group of strangers.

Black and Lu Nian walked away, and the corridor was empty. The technology and economy of District F are underdeveloped, and there is basically no anti-theft system. Lu Xiang walked to the door, unscrupulously turned the doorknob, and stepped into Lu Nian's room.

Lu Nian's room was bigger than the reception room they stayed in. It was simple but very tidy. Her gentleness and care were revealed everywhere. It could be seen that she liked it very much.

Lu Xiang couldn't deny that besides repaying Zhong Ziyang's favor, her initiative to invite Ying was also mixed with a little selfishness.But now, this little selfishness has been satisfied. It is obvious that Lu Nian is living a good life. She has a warm village, a person who treats her well, and has left all the suffering behind. Add to the trouble.

Even if she forgets herself.

Lu Xiang sighed silently, feeling a little cold inexplicably, the coolness gushing from the bottom of his heart carried strange emotions, and rushed to his limbs in the blink of an eye.She trembled, gathered her collar vigorously, accidentally caught the silver chain around her neck, and pulled out a translucent stone with half antlers carved on the back.

In Lu Nian's room, there is also an identical necklace.

Lu Nian's table was very clean, with only a few things on it.What Lu Xiang first noticed was actually a glass bottle, which was too conspicuous, filled with white balls similar to the medicine she took in the underground laboratory.

It reminded Lu Xiang of that bad memory. She really couldn't figure out why Lu Nian still ate this kind of food, so she picked it up and took a look out of curiosity.But I accidentally found a locked box in the shelf behind the glass bottle, hidden in the shadows, just blocked by the things placed outside.

Lu wanted to use a wire to open the small lock, and saw the wooden board and a necklace inside.

The pendant of the necklace was covered with a thick layer of dust, and I don't know how long it had been left there.Lu wanted to carefully brush off the dust on the surface of the stone, but unfortunately the dust had accumulated for too long, the originally translucent stone was still foggy, and even the carved antler patterns inside became blurred.

If any one of Zhong Ziyang's group can have fun in District A, even if he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, he must have heard of it. The specially bought bionics are nothing more than their eyes like a newborn deer.

Over time, deer has become synonymous with them, and everyone flocks to them.Later, they secretly named each other, turning deer into Lu, the older sister was called Lu Nian, and the younger sister was called Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiang couldn't remember everything about Area A clearly.In the past few days, Lu Xiang has clearly felt that there is something wrong with his body. Occasionally, he will feel weak in his hands and feet, lethargy and chills. The most serious thing is that his brain is dull, his memory has become disordered, and many things seem to be erased by an eraser. In general, she left vague traces and couldn't remember any actual details, just like the reminder she wanted to give Zhong Ziyang was blank before she had time to speak.Sometimes, Lu Xiang can't even think of Lu Nian and Delos.

She guessed that these were the sequelae of the experiment, and maybe soon, she would forget everything, fall into hibernation, or die.

Some bionics always dislike their short lifespan, but Lu Xiang doesn't think so much about death. She has seen too many people and heard too many interesting stories that she can't understand, including life and death.She had also imagined the scene of her own death, and the most perfect thing was to die at home with Lu Nian by her side.

Now that she has lost Lu Nian, she hopes that at least she can go home.

So Lu wanted to put down the necklace, steal the board, put on Lu Nian's windbreaker and mask, pretend to be her, and try to find more clues in this building.In the end, she saw the photos of Zhong Ziyang and the others on the screen in the conference room, and their identities were clearly written below, which was much stronger than she imagined.

They must be able to bring themselves home, she thought.

Maybe it was because the secret passage was shady, or because Lu Nian's clothes were too thin, but she still felt very cold.Lu Xiang didn't have time to think about it. Looking at the figures of the people in front, he staggered and quickened his pace.

The secret road seems to be winding, but the real distance is not long. After walking forward for about 10 minutes, they felt the coolness from the outside, the walls became moist, and the stairs finally turned around the corner. show up.But at this time, a chaotic sound of running came from the other side of the tunnel, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.

Everyone tensed up and rushed towards the exit with their eyes closed. The distance of about 100 meters became extremely long at this moment.

Zhong Ziyang was the first to step on the stairs. He rushed to the top of the stairs in two steps in three steps, threw himself in front of the black painted iron door, and twisted the doorknob vigorously. The lock didn't move at all.

The sky obviously didn't favor them, so Xiao Le stepped forward and twisted it vigorously, and it was indeed locked.

Du Ningqi and Aaron also caught up one after another. Du Ningqi frowned and looked at it for two seconds, then found a rusty wire from the ground: "I'll try."

Aaron couldn't help being a little surprised: "You still know this?"

"I learned it when I was on a business trip."

Du Ningqi said it lightly, but Lu Xiang and Lu Xiang are actually the same, and they are not good at knowing. In addition, the structure of this lock is more complicated than those inside.

"Are you all right?! They are coming!" Lu Xiang, who was standing at the bottom, raised his voice, and walked up a few steps with his arms folded. The wind at the stairs was too strong.

While she was speaking, more than a dozen figures walked out of the corner. The leader was obviously Blake with an angry face, who seemed to be cursing something in his mouth, followed by Lu Nian who couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Immediately!" Du Ningqi heard a click from inside, and hastily stretched out his hand to twist the doorknob, and the iron door creaked open a crack.He was overjoyed, and suddenly pushed it out, but unexpectedly got stuck in the middle.

Several people looked down and saw that there was an iron chain as thick as a tail finger wrapped around the doorknob outside and the wall.
