01131 Friend's Scream

"Hey! You're going the wrong way! You're going the wrong way!"

Xiao Wu yelled at the taxi's control computer, as if she was complaining to the real driver.

"Can you understand me? Are you infected by a virus? Or hacked? Hello!"

"What's the use of shouting at it? It's just a controlled machine."

The gay friend watched helplessly as his sister acted foolishly.

"Of course I know it's a machine! I'm wondering if its AI is advanced enough and can it be awakened by me."

"There shouldn't be much advanced AI in this kind of cheap taxi...it certainly won't have self-awareness."

"That's right. It's unreasonable to think about a world where sweeping robots are all self-aware. If tools are self-aware, how can they be used as tools?"

"Well... that's not necessarily true. After all, there are tool people on the other side of the earth..."

"Ah~ It's true when you say that~ Don't talk about a tool person, I am a goddess who is also a tool god~ Our lower-level goddesses are like this, running around the world to save the world every day, but the boss can never leave the door or step out.

Stay at home all day~"

"Is the boss you're talking about Reime, the God of Gods?"

"Yes, that's her~your best friend's husband~"

"Why is it that the more you hear this, the weirder it gets..."

"Don't worry about the details, that's pretty much it~ ah~ stop."

The taxi stopped in an open space. It seemed to be a warehouse hidden among the buildings. Of course, the warehouse here was not a low-rise frame structure building with a large area on earth, but a high-rise building.

It is built on the bottom elevated floor. The rolling shutter doors of these warehouses are all closed, giving this place a rare sense of cleanliness in the city. There is almost no accumulation of debris in the open space. It seems that the owners here like to be tidy.

"get off."

Xiao Wu pushed her friend.

"Ah? I won't go down! This place looks very dangerous!"

The gay friend shook his head vigorously.

"Do you think it's not dangerous in a car? Let's not mention whether the hacker will directly crash the car into the wall. How much protection can this fragile glass provide you?"

"You're right...then my life depends on you!"

"Don't worry, you may die once!"

"Hey~!"

"Stop whining and whining, get down quickly!"

The friend opened the car door and stood tremblingly on the rough cement floor, not daring to move an inch away from the car door until Xiao Wu pushed him away. He tensed up and kept searching the area with his eyes, but could never find any trace of anyone.

.Xiao Wu did not install night vision components for him, so the dim lights here made it difficult for him to see things clearly.

"Do you know why you can't find a bright enough light in a place like this?"

Xiao Wu held the box and stood beside her gay friend, asking in a relaxed and comfortable manner.

"Why? Because the people at the bottom don't have money to buy good lights?"

"Because of the 'bad future', the planet is actually facing an energy crisis, and only the upper class can afford electricity."

"Ah? But everything here needs electricity?"

"Yes, there is an energy crisis on one side and a highly energy-consuming society on the other. New energy cannot be found yet, so we can only continue to squeeze the people at the bottom, a vicious cycle."

"Oh~ It's really uncomfortable when you say that..."

"Are you not so scared now?"

"I'm scared again when you mention it!"

"Coward!"

Xiao Wu cursed and pulled her friend behind her. She had already noticed someone emerging from the pedestrian entrance of the warehouse.

Soon, five people appeared from there, each with rough mechanical limbs, which looked very dangerous. The alloy bald head at the head had all his limbs replaced, and even half of his body was replaced with machinery.

"Give me the box."

The little boss slowly approached Xiao Wu. His four-clawed mechanical legs walked on the ground like a mecha. His voice was a featureless electronic synthesized sound, and there was almost no "human" atmosphere in his body.

"Huh? You caught us out of nowhere and asked for things as soon as we met? Are you robbers?"

Xiao Wu frowned and complained.

"Yes, we are robbers, so hand it over."

The leader advanced slowly and extended his thick mechanical claw towards Xiao Wu.

"Give me a reason! Otherwise, why should I give it to you! Humph~!"

Xiao Wu put on a stinking look. Her extremely abnormal behavior made the leader stunned and he couldn't help but stop. He took another look at the seemingly incompetent girl in front of him and spoke cautiously.

"Miss, I don't know the reason. I just know that someone paid us to take away that box. Your body is very advanced, but it doesn't look suitable for fighting. I don't want to damage it."

"It turns out you are doing things for others~ That's easy to handle! I'll give you double the amount of money your employer gives you! Ask the other party to come over and face me in person!"

Xiao Wu was not afraid, and like magic, she took out a stack of translucent cards from behind. Even the gay friends behind her didn't see clearly how she took it out. The little boss stared at the original eyes and the light-shielding cover of the electronic eyes.

He was also trembling constantly and seemed to be very excited. He took two deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.

"Miss, we value our credibility and cannot betray our employer because of your high price. Also, we don't know who the employer is. This commission is an anonymous task received online."

"Online? Anonymous? That's too unreliable! This is real cash! Let us go, and the double commission will be yours!"

Xiao Wu shook the card in her hand and subtly changed her request.

"Miss, the employer has already paid, and I don't think we will be fine after letting you go."

The leader was unmoved.

"Oh, I understand, you are just tool people who can't help themselves. You are afraid that you will be taken care of by the real boss."

Xiao Wu showed a mocking expression.

"You are right, so give me the box. This is your last polite request."

The leader's original expression was a little embarrassed, but he still spoke patiently.

"You actually refused my proposal? Very good. What I like most is to refuse those guys who think they are rejecting other people's kindness! I will not give the box to you!"

Xiao Wu shouted righteously, and at the same time thrust the box into his friend's hands.

"Hey? Why did you give it to me?"

The gay friend was originally trembling with fear, but Xiao Wu suddenly made him sluggish.

"How can I fight with this thing! You have it!"

"I don't want it!"

The gay friend found that the eyes of the boss and other bad guys had been focused on him.

“You have to have it even if you don’t want it!”

"be careful!"

Xiao Wu turned around and saw that the leader had already rushed towards her with a bang, and the others also spread out to surround her.

"Savage collision? I like it!"

Xiao Wu showed a weird smile, turned around, lifted up the taxi, and threw it towards the boss.

"Oh my god~~~!"

The gay friend finally couldn't help but scream, just like a little girl.
