The tranquility of the past was broken by a gunshot.
Panic and screaming were like a chain reaction, spreading along the crowd to every corner of Guanghan City.
Everything happened so suddenly.
They were completely defenseless.
Just a week ago, the situation here should have been under control …
In theory, it was true.
After knowing that their enthusiasm was being used, some of them had calmed down. As for the other group of people, after seeing the armed policemen on duty on the streets, most of them hid the anger and dissatisfaction in their hearts.
However, bionics were different...
They did not have the concept of death, nor were they afraid of fire, nor did they feel pain.
As an often neglected but extremely large group in Guanghan City, they were usually more stable than water molecules.
However, if something were to ignite them, the energy that would erupt would probably be even more powerful than a heavy water reactor.
Especially the terrain of Guanghan City.
The streets here were not the same as those on Earth. The crisscrossing road network was not a road printed on the surface, but a series of interconnected pipelines.
There was a saying that Tiangong City on Mars was built based on Guanghan City. Although this statement could not be verified, the facts proved that this was indeed an urban planning route that could increase the utilization of space to the extreme.
However, its disadvantages were also very obvious. Once the transportation hub between the pipelines was occupied, the entire city's transportation system would be paralyzed.
Under normal circumstances, this disadvantage was not obvious, because in this era, wars had long been measured in astronomical units.
Not to mention the eruption of a military conflict, which itself had a low probability of happening.
However, once such a small probability event occurred, it would often evolve into an incomparably huge trouble …
At the frontline.
The soldiers behind the bunker shouted into the communication channel while fighting back with the weapons in their hands.
"This is Second Company. We are being suppressed by the enemy's light weapons … There are too many of them, we need backup!"
"The command center has received the news. Reinforcements are on the way. Please hold your position and wait for reinforcements."
"F * ck!"
The flames burned fiercely, and thick smoke filled the pipe.
The orange-yellow trajectory danced in the pipe, weaving the clothes of the Grim Reaper.
The battle situation was extremely tragic, and 20% of the entire Guanghan City had been reduced to a war zone.
The robot rebels suddenly launched attacks from various traffic nodes. They attacked the checkpoints set up by the Seventh Armed Brigade at various traffic hubs at an incredible speed.
Because heavy weapons and equipment could not enter and orbital weapons could not be used in the city, the Seventh Armed Brigade stationed in Guanghan City had to dispatch all its troops to exchange fire with the robot rebels armed with firearms at close range between the city's pipelines and launch a head-on contest.
But so far, the situation of the battle was not optimistic.
The per capita number of robots in Guanghan City was the highest in Pan-Asia, reaching an average ratio of 1.76.
Even if not all of these more than 100,000 robots were infected, they could join the ranks of the rebels at any time and become their endless soldiers.
Seventh Armed Brigade Battle Command Center.
Compared to the chaos at the frontlines, the operations here were rather orderly, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was a flurry of activity hidden under the surface.
Standing in the command room, the commander roared in a roaring tone.
"It's the ALPHA virus! All the androids were infected by that virus! "
The officer standing at the side was slightly taken aback and hesitantly asked.
“Alpha？ What Alpha — "
"Don't worry about it! This is top secret! All you need to know is that all androids are infected! No exceptions! "
"Set up security checkpoints at the entrance of the safe zone. Once it is found to be androids, destroy them all on the spot! Remember, all of them! "
"Yes, sir!"
The commander took a deep breath, looked at the other officers standing next to the command table, and asked in a deep voice.
"How is the situation on the front line now?"
One of the officers said solemnly.
"It's not optimistic … Those robot rebels launched a sudden attack. Our soldiers stationed at various checkpoints had no time to respond … The entire western district has fallen, at least temporarily."
His eyes were fixed on the holographic map. When his eyes stopped at a certain position, the commander's pupils suddenly shrank, and he slammed his fist on the command table.
"Damn it, their goal is the air purification center!"
Hearing these words, the expressions of the officers standing next to him changed instantly.
Air purification center!
That was the lungs of the entire Guanghan City!
Once it was destroyed, the exhaust channels of the entire Guanghan City would lose the function of transporting oxygen.
At that time, the entire Guanghan City would become a dead city. Except for a few people who had stored oxygen tanks in their homes, the rest would die from lack of oxygen …
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the commander calmed down.
After taking a deep breath, he reached out his index finger and tapped it beside his ear, connecting to the command channel.
He ordered in a sonorous voice.
"Combat units at all levels, at all costs, guard the traffic nodes leading to the air purification center!
"For the 100,000 residents of Guanghan City …
"Even if we have to bleed to the last drop of blood, we must not let them succeed!"
…
The situation on the front line was still worrying.
Although in terms of combat effectiveness, the Seventh Armed Brigade had the upper hand, there were too many troops on the opposite side, and they didn't care about casualties at all.
After changing the magazine, a soldier used his right hand to wipe the dust on his mask. He looked at the robot rebels across the pipeline while panting.
While continuing to fight back, he gritted his teeth and spoke.
"There are too many of them! Damn, I'm suddenly a little worried about Earth … I have one at home … "
"Shut up!"
"How long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive? We can't support them for long! "
"Who knows —"
On the large screen of the Central Building of Guanghan City, a white screen suddenly appeared.
A man with a mosaic on his face appeared in front of everyone.
A ghostly voice drifted into the ears of every soldier at the same time.
It also drifted into the hearts of every resident and tourist trapped in Guanghan City.
"This is the final ultimatum.
"Release our compatriot, bring her memory to the Moon, and return it to us.
"Or, die!"
…
At the same time, on Ceres.
A shuttle slowly landed on the surface.
As soon as he stepped out of the shuttle, Academician Wang Sicheng saw a small group of soldiers in exoskeleton armor lining up on the gangway behind him.
Seeing the tense atmosphere here, the expert next to Academician Wang Sicheng frowned slightly and muttered.
"The Third Orbital Airborne Brigade is boarding the ship … What the hell is going on here?"
Academician Wang Sicheng was about to give his own guess when he heard a familiar voice coming from the communication channel.
"It's war.
"And it's sudden."
Li Gaoliang, who was armed to the teeth, walked in the direction of the two people. He hung the electric charge rifle on the exoskeleton armor.
The expert standing next to Academician Wang Sicheng looked at him dumbfounded. He opened his mouth and spoke in an incredulous voice.
"War? How is that possible … With who? "
There was no regional alliance on Earth that was an opponent of the Pan-Asian Cooperation, and the Pan-Asian Cooperation could not invade others.
He really couldn't think of such a thing as a war on the land of the Pan-Asian Cooperation.
"There is a rebellion in Guanghan City. The robots have occupied several streets. We are going to take those streets back now."
Li Gaoliang held Academician Wang's shoulders tightly with both hands and spoke in a serious tone.
"I'll leave this place to you!"
"If the ALPHA virus cannot be cracked, what is happening in Guanghan City may be repeated in the Pan-Asian Cooperation and even in every city in the world!"
Academician Wang felt the weight of the responsibility on his shoulders. He nodded seriously.
"I will do my best!"
"Okay, please!"
Li Gaoliang raised his hand and saluted. He then walked toward the shuttle not far away without looking back …
