Pan-Asian Cooperation headquarters.
Li Guangya, who was sitting at his desk, was listening to the commander of the Pan-Asian First Fleet make a brief report on the situation on the front line with a serious expression.
Since the rebellion in Guanghan City, he hadn't slept well during this period of time. Now that the good news came from the front line, although this result wasn't very gratifying, at least he could sleep peacefully.
"I understand the situation."
Li Guangya looked at the image standing in the holographic beam. He tapped his index finger lightly on the table and continued after thinking for a moment.
"The top priority now is to help those refugees who have been displaced in the war. We must settle them properly."
The commander nodded with a serious expression.
"We're already doing that."
"Very good." Li Guangya nodded. "Then keep it up … I will call the authorities in Guanghan City again in a while and ask them to do their best to cooperate with you. We have lost too much in this war. We can't let our people lose hope again. "
The commander replied neatly, "Yes, sir!"
The phone call ended.
Li Guangya's shoulders relaxed slightly as he watched the holographic beam gradually fade away. He leaned against the office chair tiredly as if he wanted to close his eyes and rest for a while.
However, his colleagues obviously did not intend to give him this time.
Wu Shuhua, who had just returned to the headquarters after a foreign affairs visit, said, "The day before yesterday, I was at the regional alliance summit in Los Angeles."
"What are the opinions of the other regional alliances?"
"We finally reached a consensus at the meeting. The safety of robots has become a global crisis." Wu Shuhua paused for a moment and continued, "Their opinion is that they hope that we can set up a crisis response team to deal with this problem together."
"Crisis response team …" Li Guangya shook his head, and a faint self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Is there any point now?"
The only solution now was to cut off one's wrists. The regional alliances and member states should work together to completely remove the cancer of robots from human civilization. Although it would cause heavy damage to the Pan-Asian Cooperation and even the global economy in the short term, it was at least better than waiting for all the contradictions to accumulate to a critical value before erupting.
Just like Guanghan City now …
The scars left behind by this kind of war could not be healed without ten or twenty years of effort.
Wu Shuhua read the worry in Li Guangya's eyes. After a moment of silence, she said, "Anyway … it's better than nothing."
That was true.
But now was the time to race against time …
Suddenly, a light blue notification flashed on his desk.
After seeing the name of the calling department, Li Guangya reached into the drawer and took out an AR glasses and hung it on the bridge of his nose. Wu Shuhua looked at the chairman and didn't say anything.
After all, not all calls were suitable to be answered in public, especially calls from the security department.
If it was something he could tell him, he would naturally tell him later. If it wasn't convenient, then it was fine. But if it wasn't related to her, she wasn't too interested in finding out.
Wu Shuhua quietly waited for the call to end. However, at this moment, Wu Shuhua suddenly noticed that the expression on the chairman's face changed from calm to shock, and then from shock to solemnity.
After dropping a sentence, "Let the First Fleet go to support immediately", he hung up the phone.
Looking at Li Guangya, who didn't look too good, Wu Shuhua frowned slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she finally asked.
"What happened?"
"There has been a mutiny in the garrison on Ceres …" Li Guangya pinched his eyebrows and said with a headache, "We may be in big trouble."
…
In the supercomputer base deep in the valley, sporadic gunshots echoed in the empty corridor.
In the temporary command room at the end of the corridor, corpses fell there, and blood almost dyed the floor red.
On the command table next to him, a weak and lonely communication sound echoed.
"This is the garrison of Ceres, we are under sudden attack …"
"Repeat, we are under attack …"
"Ahhh!"
The battle broke out almost instantaneously, and almost everyone had no time to react. When their former comrades aimed at them, many people's first reaction was, "This joke is not funny at all", instead of quickly pulling out their guns to fight back …
A soldier wearing an exoskeleton armor fell to the ground and crawled backward with his elbows.
Blood oozed from his abdomen. Although the blood coagulant had sealed the wound, the feeling of cramping still continued to impact his remaining consciousness.
Even so, he still did not give up.
However, at this moment, a soldier wearing an exoskeleton armor walked towards him.
Just when he was about to ask for help, he saw the muzzle pointing at him.
His heart stopped beating for a moment, and he swallowed the cry for help that had already rushed to his mouth.
Almost exhausting all the strength in his body, he condensed the confusion in his heart into a sentence and squeezed it out.
"Why …"
However, his former comrade did not answer his question. He just silently pulled the trigger.
The soldier closed his eyes in despair. Just as the scenes in his memory flashed, a muffled sound suddenly came along the floor.
At this critical moment, a light blue electric arc flashed at the end of the corridor.
The electromagnetically accelerated projectile was like a spear, instantly penetrating the back and chest armor of the soldier holding the gun.
A thumb-sized bloody hole instantly appeared on his chest. The soldier wearing the exoskeleton armor seemed to have been hit by something. His body swayed and fell to the side.
Looking at the rebel who suddenly fell to the ground, the wounded soldier raised his head, looked toward the end of the corridor, and immediately saw a familiar figure.
"Lu … Academician Lu …"
"Don't move."
Lu Zhou looked at Ling, who was holding an electromagnetic rifle.
Ling glanced at the soldier on the ground, then looked back at Lu Zhou and shook his head gently.
"No."
Lu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward.
"Can you still move?"
The soldier took a light breath and nodded vigorously.
"The bleeding has stopped, I can still …"
"That's good. I'm afraid you have to hold on for a while." Lu Zhou pointed to the road behind him and continued, "Go straight down this road … Find the basement where the quantum supercomputing array is located. When you get to the door, look at the access control system. Someone will take care of you. You just need to answer like this …"
Lu Zhou told him the code and told him that it was a safe zone. Academician Wang and those information engineering experts were there.
However, after listening to Lu Zhou's words, the soldier gritted his teeth stubbornly, supported his body with the rifle, and barely stood up from the ground.
"I can still fight … It's you who should take refuge."
"Me?" Looking at the persistent expression on the soldier's face, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "What is your name?"
"Yang Yi!"
"Okay, Comrade Yang, your courage is admirable." Looking at him nodding approvingly, Lu Zhou continued, "But I'm afraid I can't guarantee your safety. Bullets have no eyes on the battlefield. You have to be more careful."
The corners of Yang Yi's mouth twitched slightly. He spoke without fear.
"I was ready from the moment I joined the army."
