Several people came to the jungle after seeing the signal bomb sent by Lu Ming. The old man was lying next to the tree trunk, completely silent.
Two old police officers, 075 and 080, went to check the heartbeat and breathing. It was obvious that the old man was dead.
"He rushed out with a gun, but I just strangled his neck and threw him down, that's all..." Lu Ming felt helpless.
Ling Qiwu nodded: "Just burn it!"
The order received was also to destroy it completely.
"You guys go back, this is the job of me and Zero 36!" Senior police officer Zero 75 said to the others.
Although Zero 80 and the other Zero 35 were unwilling to do so, they had no choice. They were caught and executed by others, and the cleanup work was theirs.
Lu Ming picked up the body and found an open space among the trees to ensure that it would not cause a forest fire if set on fire.
Then Lu Ming began to look for dry firewood, and Ling Qiwu helped to find it. After piling up the dry firewood, Ling Qiwu sprayed oil with a fuel spray gun and said, "The rest is yours!"
"Master, let me clean up the hay around to avoid catching fire," Lu Ming said.
Ling Qiwu nodded and watched Lu Ming busy. After a while, he said, "I'll wait for you at the meeting point."
Not far after he walked, thick smoke billowed out from behind.
…
Returning to the headquarters by helicopter, in the afternoon, several staff members in black uniforms came to the headquarters of the Bucks Branch of the Unified Joint Enterprise. This black uniform is somewhat similar to a space suit, with the top and bottom integrated. They summoned Lu Ming to go alone.
room.
Several people had expressionless faces, like robots.
Lu Ming has become accustomed to it. It seems that after living in this culture for a long time, his emotions will really become introverted, and the feelings of joy, anger, sorrow and joy will probably gradually become less intense.
The blond middle-aged man at the head stared at Lu Ming for a while, "Police Officer 29036, how long have you been alone with the destroyed parts? Have you ever communicated verbally?" He is the "Variable Auditor" from the headquarters.
.
Lu Ming shook his head: "No, he jumped out and wanted to kill me, but after I fell him, he didn't know what illness caused him, and he stopped breathing."
Lu Ming had already heard from Zero Seventy-Five's "Master" that since it was a destroyed part that he had executed alone and had been in separate contact with the part, he would undergo a simple investigation. "Master" said that just answer normally.
Yes, but don't tell lies.
The middle-aged man nodded after hearing Lu Ming's answer.
At this time, several men in uniforms pushed in a strange-looking machine from outside, and attached some small metal pieces connected to its wires to Lu Ming's temples, fingers, etc., and a kind of mask was also attached under his nostrils.
patch.
Lu Ming understood that it must be the lie detector of this world. There is also one in the Old World today. It detects lies through multi-parameter psychological tests of blood pressure, pulse, respiration and skin resistance changes, as well as muscle activity. It should be regarded as the second generation of lie detectors.
, the first generation can only detect pulse changes and blood pressure.
"Now I answer your questions and you say yes." The blond middle-aged man said calmly.
Lu Ming nodded.
"Are you a woman?"
"Yes!" When Lu Ming spoke, he controlled his heartbeat to beat a little faster.
"Are you a man?"
"yes."
The middle-aged man asked many more questions. When Lu Ming answered "yes", some answers were correct and some were wrong.
After dozens of questions, the middle-aged man asked: "Answer the questions normally. Do you really not remember anything from the past?"
"Yes." Lu Ming nodded.
"How long have you been alone with the destroyed parts? Have you ever communicated verbally?"
"No, he jumped out and wanted to kill me, but after I threw him down, I don't know what illness caused him, and he stopped breathing."
“Have you ever heard of the We Not Machines movement?”
"Never heard of it." Lu Ming shook his head.
"How did you discover the alienated parts?"
"Oh, I heard his breathing, and I was lucky enough to walk near him."
After asking some more miscellaneous questions, the middle-aged man finally asked: "What are your expectations for your future work?"
"I hope to become a middle-level police officer as soon as possible." Lu Ming said without hesitation.
The middle-aged man looked at the scanner in front of him and nodded slightly: "Police 29036, thank you for your cooperation!"
…
Everyone left, only Lu Ming remained in this small room.
More than an hour later, there was a gentle knock on the door, and veteran police officer Ling Qiwu came in and said, "You have passed the investigation."
Lu Ming nodded and stood up. After being here for a long time, his usual smile when communicating with others seemed to have gradually disappeared.
"In addition, because it is found that you are in particularly good health, with your pulse, blood pressure, heartbeat, etc., all in optimal condition, the Variable Auditor has taken a special look at your test results and will recommend you to a special department. If you can pass the preliminary exam
, you will become a formal member of the department and directly receive the treatment of a mid-level police officer."
Veteran police officer Ling Qiwu should be very happy for Lu Ming, but there was no expression on his face.
Lu Ming nodded lightly: "Okay."
But I was startled in my heart. I had already prepared to leave. The ships and speedboats of the Royal Air Service Marine Corps had been arranged to pick me up offshore in the evening.
At the same time, I will take the old man with me.
The old man said that he had a nephew who was a member of the resistance organization, so he warned him secretly and gave him some photos to see.
It's a nursing home city, and rows of old people are being hanged and sent to human furnaces.
In order to save resources, not only euthanasia, but also bullets will not be wasted.
In fact, I have also thought that it would be impossible for such a society to function normally with today's technical conditions.
But if all the burdens are dealt with and there are no old people who are not working to "waste" resources, this society will indeed not collapse.
However, these are really none of my business. If I meet an old man who is fleeing, I just need to save him.
I have no obligation to change the entire world, and I'm afraid it's not very possible.
But now, what special department do you have the opportunity to enter? Do you want to stay and see how its top management works?
Ling Qiwu looked at Lu Ming and said, "Don't you complain to me that you can't accept the ten-hour job from morning to night every day? And you said you want to be a homeless person?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lu Ming coughed and said nothing.
The first time I said this to Zero Seven-Five, I was severely warned by Zero Seven-Five. Now I think, this kind of lazy thinking is probably the alienated parts that will be destroyed, right?
At that time, I wanted to know if there were any people in this world who were lying flat.
"This special department, I heard, is very free." Ling Qiwu looked at Lu Ming quietly.
Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "Okay, thank you, Master."
…
That night, Lu Ming was sent to a place similar to a police academy in the northern central city called Black Tiger City.
The students have already started school for a month, and Lu Ming is a transfer student.
From the courses offered, Lu Ming knew that the function of this special department should be to infiltrate and exterminate resistance organizations.
On the first day of the strength test, Lu Ming used some of his special abilities and was placed in the Grade A special class.
One good thing about this world is that if you have extraordinary abilities, your upward path will be absolutely unobstructed.
In this world, there is no concept of family affection. From a young age, children are separated from their parents and sent to nurseries to start living together.
Many times, family affection also needs to be cultivated bit by bit in daily life.
Without family ties, and because of various social mechanisms, it is difficult to have real friends, that is, spouses, who are all assigned to you when you are twenty-four years old after working.
Those who receive a college education must be married to a college education, and blue-collar workers are in the same department, factory, as blue-collar workers.
Nepotism has no effect in this world.
Of course, it is also because once it is discovered that the employees are not selected strictly based on test scores, the person responsible will be directly destroyed.
Well, this has been the case for hundreds of years.
In fact, this society has basically reached the current technological level more than 300 years ago, and the progress in the past 300 years has been minimal.
Under this social model, innovation may not be so easy.
…
During the firearms shooting test, Lu Ming was surprised to find that among the targets, there was a monster model, which was very similar to the organism that appeared in the strange mirage on Lake Shenlondo six years ago.
From what the instructor said, this beast began to appear in the extreme south of the continent two years ago.
In this world, ordinary people cannot see the world map, and even ordinary police officers cannot see it, but in this Grade A special class, it is not taboo for the instructors to talk about some secrets. Obviously, this special class will definitely do so in the future.
access to these secrets.
Lu Ming felt that the New World seemed to be a very long and narrow shape. The southernmost part was separated by mountains and rivers, and further south it was difficult to explore.
The instructors had a vague idea that these beasts came over the mountains from the unexplorable places in the south.
