Dusk gradually fell, and night fell completely.
For people living in the urban area, their night life had just begun.
In sharp contrast to the brightly lit urban area, the night in the suburbs came a little earlier.
It was just after 10 o 'clock, and the traffic flow on the main maglev road had become intermittent. As for those small roads deep into the residential area, there were almost no cars coming and going.
However, at this moment, a truck slowly drove into the residential area along the not spacious road.
Detecting the violation signal, the traffic police drone parked on the side of the road flew toward the truck.
However, just as the drone was about to persuade the driver in the truck to leave, a light blue electric current suddenly jumped from its surface.
As if the circuit was short-circuiting, the drone quickly emitted blue-black smoke and fell to the ground.
After putting the EMP pistol back into his pocket, the robot sitting in the driver's seat skillfully pressed the button on the driver's seat to open the cargo compartment door.
As the alloy door opened outward, robots with rifles in their hands walked toward the villa next to it, surrounded by drones.
Standing in front of the door, one of the robots took out a toolbox for unlocking from his backpack and was about to open the door.
However, at this moment, the door in front of them opened on its own.
At the same time, a string of characters with unknown meanings appeared on the holographic window of the access control system.
【(?* `? ′ *)??]
The moment he saw this string of characters, Chester, who was sitting in a van a few kilometers away, instinctively had a bad feeling in his heart.
However, he couldn't tell where this bad feeling came from for a while.
He gritted his teeth, thinking that since things had already come to this point, it was already too late to hesitate about whether or not to make a move.
He stared at the door on the screen. Thinking that the enemy who killed his brother was inside, a bloodthirsty anger suddenly ignited in his heart. He grinned and issued an attack order.
"Let's see where you can hide this time!"
The moment the attack order was issued, the dozen or so robots standing at the door immediately opened the safety of their weapons, then carried the weapons in their hands and rushed into the open door.
However, right at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The dozen or so robot militants who stepped on the lawn suddenly seemed to have been hit by an EMP. Light blue electric sparks burst out from the back of their necks and pupils one after another, and their steps also staggered.
The momentum of the attack suffered a heavy setback right from the start.
What was even worse was that Chester, who was sitting behind the screen and controlling all of this remotely, could only watch the robots he modified turn into scrap metal, but he still didn't know what happened.
"Damn it …"
Chester panicked as he watched the cameras turn white one after another. He immediately tapped on the holographic screen with both hands and locked onto every window in the villa.
Soon, more than ten quad-rotor drones floated up from the top of the truck.
After setting the cruise path and detonation time as quickly as possible, Chester decisively activated offline mode while issuing the attack responsibility.
The drones that blocked all external signals were like cruise missiles, swooping down and smashing into the villa dozens of meters away.
However, at this moment, a scene that made Chester even more horrified happened.
The previous robots that seemed to have been hit by an EMP suddenly became agile.
Not only that, but the muzzles of the guns instantly turned, locked on the group of drones flying in the air like locusts, and pulled the trigger.
The orange-yellow flames flickered, and the dense trajectories produced a rain of death in the air. After colliding with the rain of bullets, the drones were suddenly like flies without wings, being shot down one after another and falling to the ground.
The flames of the explosion lit up the lawn in the front yard of the villa. Many robots were engulfed by the flames of the explosion, and some were even directly blown away.
Chester, who watched the robots and drones killing each other through the holographic screen, had his mouth wide open. He was completely speechless.
He couldn't figure out what happened to those smart devices at the moment he issued the attack order.
"This … This is impossible."
Looking at the robot soldier standing in the flames, a flame of hope ignited in Chester's heart. His ten fingers tapped quickly on the holographic keyboard, trying to find loopholes in the program and regain control of this robot.
However, the ideal was beautiful, but the reality was cruel.
Five minutes passed. No matter how hard he tried, the robot standing on the lawn with a rifle in his hand seemed to have not heard his orders. It just stood there without saying a word.
"Sh * t, what the hell happened?! Get moving! F * ck! "
An ominous premonition enveloped Chester's heart.
For some reason, he had never been afraid of anything. Looking at the indifferent robot soldier on the screen, an unprecedented fear suddenly rose in his heart.
It was as if it was not the robot that was being controlled, but him. Invisible puppet strings had tied his hands and feet, manipulating everything from a place he couldn't see.
After trying to gain control of the robot for the last time and seeing that there was no effect, Chester decisively gave up the smart devices he had delivered to the battlefield. He started the van and prepared to escape.
[The intelligent navigation system has been turned on, connecting you to the maglev road network …]
"Disconnect! Use road navigation mode! "
[Switch to road navigation mode.]
The reason why it was not connected to the maglev road network was that this thing was monitored by the Pan-Asian Cooperation Police Department and the Security Bureau.
After the gunshot just now, the maglev road in this area was no longer safe for him.
After starting the van, Chester's nervous mood relaxed a little as he looked at the scenery flying by outside the window.
However, just as he turned on the holographic computer and was about to troubleshoot the previous malfunction, a string of characters with unknown meanings suddenly popped up on the holographic screen.
The moment Chester saw this line of characters, he was stunned.
【(?* `? ′ *)?]
"…?"
What the hell is this?
Just as he was thinking about this, a figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the road illuminated by the headlights.
The person was wearing an airtight raincoat, standing defenselessly in the middle of the road.
The shadow under the hood obscured its eyes. Even the head-on high beams could not allow Chester to see its facial features above the tip of its nose. However, an inexplicable intuition told him that this guy was looking at him and coming for him.
Cold sweat broke out all of a sudden. Chester decisively threw away the holographic computer and held the steering wheel with both hands.
"Activate manual mode!"
[Activation failed.]
Chester: "???"
Like a runaway wild horse, the uncontrolled van crashed into the person standing in the middle of the road.
No, to be precise, it was not a person.
No one had ever been able to remain unscathed in the face of such a speed. It was even more impossible to be like a telephone pole, smashing the car that collided with itself into such a tragic accident scene.
Starting from the hood, the van that crashed into the man looked like it had crashed into a stone block. The entire front of the van was smashed beyond recognition. Debris and glass flew everywhere.
Chester, who was unable to move in the driver's seat, had blood on his forehead. He was on the verge of death.
Finally, from the corner of his eyes, he could vaguely see that the figure under the raincoat had a body of steel that was filled with an austere aura.
Looking at the person — or rather, the robot — who took the computer from the car, Chester's heart was filled with a trace of bitter despair, and he gradually gave up the hope of survival.
"What kind of terrifying guy did I provoke?"
He sighed with the last shred of his remaining consciousness and slowly closed his eyes.
It was an antique from 100 years ago, but it was terrifyingly strong …
At the same time, at the gate of the villa a few kilometers away, the police who heard the news had already surrounded the area.
Facing the police outside, the robot on the lawn thought for a while, pointed the muzzle at its memory chip, and pulled the trigger.
With this gunshot, the crisis alarm was finally lifted. The heavily armed special police began to step forward and control the scene.
Although there were no casualties, the appearance of such a large number of weapons in the Pan-Asian border was undoubtedly a severe test for the security of the Yangtze River Delta city group.
Standing by the window, Lu Zhou watched the police officer he saw yesterday walk toward the gate of the villa with two police officers. He turned his gaze to Xiao Ai and asked.
"Is there any result from Ling?"
"The guy who threatened Master's safety has been taken care of! Ling found his personal computer in the car! There are a lot of interesting things in it. Master, do you want to see them now? (?????)??”
Lu Zhou thought about it and spoke.
"Let me meet the guests first."
While he was speaking, a light blue holographic window was projected in front of him.
The police officer standing at the door politely rang the doorbell and spoke while looking at the surveillance at the door.
"Hello Academician Lu, this is the Jin Ling City Public Security Bureau —"
Before he could finish his sentence, the door in front of him opened automatically.
Looking at the opened door, the police officer was slightly taken aback.
Immediately afterward, Lu Zhou's face appeared on the screen of the access control system.
"The door is not a place to talk. Come into the living room."
