Alpha Centauri Colonial Exploration Foundation headquarters building.
Normally, there would be a lot of people gathered downstairs of the building. However, at this moment, there were only a few people left in the building, let alone outside the building.
Walking quickly into the office, Gladstone hurriedly opened the holographic operating system on the desk, entered the background through the dual verification program of iris and fingerprint, and quickly pressed a few buttons.
Soon, a holographic beam was projected in the center of the office. An old man with an old appearance but a sharp gaze appeared from the holographic beam.
Before the old man could speak, Gladstone spoke in a panic.
"It's the Third Orbital Airborne Brigade! Now it is a mess outside. The militia organization in Tiangong City has been defeated. Now more than 50% of the residential areas are under their control … Hurry up and think of a solution! "
Lawrence quietly waited for the man in front of him to finish speaking. He smiled faintly and spoke softly.
"What are you in a hurry for? They are not coming for you."
"Yes, they are not coming for us, but what's the difference? If the city hall falls and the senior officials of Tiangong City are captured, the Alliance Army will definitely be exposed. Sooner or later, they will suspect us! "
Looking at Gladstone, who was panting, Lawrence pondered for a while and spoke meaningfully.
"It seems that the relationship between you and the Alliance Army is closer than I thought. Is it financial? Or are you guys involved in it? "
"It's just an investment. Otherwise, why do you think our plan passed so smoothly?!" Being stared at by those emotionless eyes, a cold sweat appeared on Gladstone's forehead. He explained nervously, "What's more, if they can be independent, we will gain a legal status on Mars and the power to match it —"
"Well, I don't care about these things." Interrupting Gladstone's explanation, Lawrence cast his gaze out of the window and quietly looked at the flashing fire in the distance. "It seems that if I don't make a move, the militia in Tiangong City will not be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrive."
Gladstone said, "Those idiots … They have the most advanced equipment, but they can't use it at the critical moment! Now everything is f * cking over! "
"Don't be so pessimistic. Not to mention that they are still a distance away from the town hall, even if they reach the door, they are far from desperate." Lawrence glanced at Gladstone and said with a faint smile, "After all, I still have a trump card in my hand."
The moment he heard this sentence, Gladstone's eyes suddenly rekindled the color of hope, and he quickly asked.
"What trump card?"
"ALPHA virus." Lawrence said softly as he looked at the thick smoke outside the window, "Although the infected equipment on Earth has basically been cleared, I haven't pressed the button on Mars yet."
Around this time last year, the ALPHA virus almost swept through the entire Earth-Moon system, so that the order on Earth was on the verge of collapse.
If Lu Zhou hadn't hijacked the starship that carried the "evolutionary code" and implanted a fatal virus into his "Oracle", he would've succeeded.
Fortunately, he still had a backup plan.
That was the distant Mars!
When the ALPHA virus spread on Earth, the spread on Mars was also progressing at the same time. When the agents of the Security Bureau focused almost all their energy on searching for the awakened ones on Earth, his loyal "believers" had already lurked in every corner of Tiangong City, New Virginia, and other major colonial cities.
They usually played almost the same role as normal people, and they would only show their true side when he needed them.
Originally, Lawrence didn't intend to use this trump card. After all, the new world needed labor to build, and he planned to take those awakened ones who were loyal to him with him.
But now, the situation had obviously reached the point where he had to make a choice.
At least …
Before "Noah's Ark" was completed, the town hall of Tiangong City couldn't be overthrown!
"Let me give you a hand," Ye Zichen said.
Lawrence, who was standing in the light and shadow, muttered softly. A string of dark green data flashed in his pupils. However, at this moment, his pupils suddenly shrank a little, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"Impossible!"
Seeing that the reaction on Lawrence's face was a little strange, Gladstone instantly became nervous.
"What's going on?"
"Someone tampered with the program I set up."
"Tampered with? What do you mean … "
Lawrence glanced at him blankly. Without saying a word, his figure, along with the holographic beam, disappeared silently from the office.
Seeing the old man disappear in front of him, Gladstone was instantly dumbfounded. He quickly rushed to the desk and shouted into the communication channel that was still connected.
"Wait a minute, hey! What the hell do you mean! Are you just going to leave us like this? "
The green light of the communication channel was still flashing, but there was no response.
Sitting back in the office chair, cold sweat slid down Gladstone's forehead.
This guy …
Seeing that the situation is not right, he actually slipped away!
"Asshole!"
Gladstone clenched his fists on the desk, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
I can't just sit here and wait …
He took a deep breath and sat back in the office chair. His index finger swiped across the holographic screen, selected a special number, and dialed.
Soon, the call was connected.
A hoarse voice came from the holographic screen glowing with snowflakes.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Keep an eye on the front line." Gladstone leaned back on the cushion of the office chair. He continued in a cold tone, "If the Third Orbital Airborne Brigade crosses the last line of defense, you guys take action."
The other end of the phone was silent for a while before he continued.
"I'm afraid we are no match for those people."
"I'm not asking you to fight against the Third Orbital Airborne Brigade. Your goal is Mayor Xiao and his staff." A faint killing intent flashed in Gladstone's eyes. He continued word by word, "Kill them.
"We must not let them fall into the hands of the Pan-Asian Cooperation!"
…
At the same time, in a corner of Tiangong City, a young woman sitting in a hotel slowly breathed a sigh of relief. After unplugging the data cable connected to her brain, she threw it into the suitcase.
"… There shouldn't be any problem now."
If Lu Zhou were here, he would be surprised to see this face.
Because this was none other than Tail, who he had helped before.
After that disaster, the Pan-Asian Cooperation introduced new laws on the application of artificial intelligence and robots, making a legal distinction between robots with autonomous consciousness and robots without autonomous consciousness. Since then, Tail and Lili had lived an anonymous life.
The reason why they appeared on Mars this time …
The main reason was that Xiao Ai was worried about Lu Zhou, so he entrusted her to come with him.
Fortunately, she came with him.
As soon as she arrived in this city, she noticed the abnormality here. Many awakened people who had been implanted with dangerous codes were hiding in the crowd.
She could sense from their electromagnetic waves that their emotions were deliberately distorted and magnified to kill.
Thinking of the tragedy that had happened on Earth, she immediately reported this situation to Xiao Ai. With the assistance of Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai copied her emotional code and implanted it into these "diseased" robots as a patch.
Just now, she finally completed this time-consuming and huge project.
"There seems to be a fight outside …" Tail got up and walked to the edge of the balcony. Looking at the thick smoke rising from the distant street, she couldn't help but have a trace of worry written on her face.
Lu Zhou didn't seem to be here these past few days.
She could almost no longer feel the electromagnetic waves that belonged to Ling.
However, that robot was very strong. If she followed Lu Zhou, there should be no problem.
In contrast, she was more worried about Lili.
I haven't seen her for a few days. I don't know if she ate well and slept on time …
