Chapter 144: Transcendence
On the way through Kaiyang Street from the underground, Aaron felt someone or something staring at him in the dark several times. Fortunately, with the leader following him, he enjoyed the convenience of a fox pretending to be a tiger. Aaron had to sigh about this.
The people in District 9 have really strong ability to survive. At the same time, they are becoming more and more curious about what desperate obstacles make these survival masters finally give up their efforts to change the situation. When he really stands in the direction of the district government
When he reached the tunnel entrance, the intuitive visual impact made him immediately understand the source of people's despair.
It is a wall and a net, composed of countless drones in the sky, covering the center of District 9 arrogantly and brutally. The blood and wreckage of the losers cannot even get close.
In the end, the edge of the Skynet was only scattered in places not far from the edge, and there were no new attempts.
Those who were willing to attack this skynet were either eliminated or retreated.
"Go ahead, I've arranged to take you here." The leader stopped at the entrance of the tunnel and had no intention of following Aaron out. His body vaguely blocked Aaron's retreat.
"It seems like you can't regret it now?" Aaron smiled bitterly.
"The man who was with you died because of you." The leader's voice was cold and his eyes were cold. "It was you who wanted to come here, not him. He was inspired by you. I must have read this correctly.
Bar?"
"Yes, I incited him to join me." Aaron didn't lie. He didn't want to and knew that he couldn't deceive the other party.
"Then you have the responsibility to fulfill your promise to him, even if you die in the middle." The leader looked at him calmly, "I hate people who don't keep their promises. If you plan to let him down, I will send you down to accompany him.
He, not only despicable people can survive in this world."
"...Same." Aaron smiled, took out a chocolate bar from his pocket, threw it into his mouth, chewed the whole bar, and swallowed it. The excitement brought by theobromine and caffeine soon filled his body. Take a look.
Amid the overwhelming drone network in the distance, Aaron took a step towards the exit.
He was locked in the moment he emerged. Aaron, who is familiar with the functions of such drones, is convinced of this. These low-cost rotary-wing drones were developed and put into large-scale use during the peacekeeping war. The original design
The opponent they have to deal with is the elusive anti-government guerrillas. Although the perception and firepower of individuals are very limited, once a combat network is formed, it becomes extremely difficult to deal with. They are often used by the federal army to conduct blanket searches and attacks on the guerrilla areas.
Long-term surveillance has also been revealed to have indirectly created war scandals in no-man's land.
Since they have been put into operation countless times on federal soil decades ago, it is not a particularly unexpected situation to put them into operation again with enough evidence. I just don't know whether my police identity is
Are these drones that should be delivered by the military still effective? If they are ineffective, it means that they will be shot into pieces.
"Come on." Aaron simply threw away the weapon in his hand, raised his hands and walked step by step towards the area controlled by the drone network.
There seemed to be some commotion in the sky. Several drones flying outside the overall network began to hover near Aaron's head but did not launch an attack. Instead, they flew in front of Aaron like a guiding bird to guide him out.
The way forward.
"Pa!" A sudden gunshot from the sky hit the entrance that Aaron had just left. The leader who sent Aaron here retreated into the tunnel angrily. Aaron had no choice but to smile bitterly in response.
Even though I have determined that as long as I don’t seek death, there is a high probability that I will not be targeted by drones. Walking among a group of automatic weapons in combat readiness will still make people’s heart rate accelerate and my head will break into a cold sweat. From time to time, I can see being hit by obvious excess firepower on the ground.
The sifting corpses were probably the out-of-control prosthetics killed by the drone swarm when they first suppressed this area.
If these drones were allowed to sweep the streets outside block by block, the situation inside District 9 would probably have been calmed down a long time ago, Aaron couldn't help but speculate. Although there may not be a few living people left in District 9 because of this,
The security level can still be reduced to a level where army combat personnel can enter and take over. Is it really like what I heard along the way that the situation is deliberately allowed to worsen in order to completely eradicate the residents of District 9?
With such doubts, Aaron got close enough to see the district government. This strong reinforced concrete building did not seem to have suffered much damage in the chaos, or maybe it was just because it was built so strong that even if it was attacked, it would not appear on the outside.
Can't you tell?
The drone that was guiding Aaron stopped. The drone network in the sky seemed to have kept a subtle distance from the district government. Aaron didn't really want to use humanistic words to describe these fully automatic killing machines.
But they really seem to be afraid of the district government.
Standing in front of the gate of the district government, Aaron followed the "customary courtesy" of previous visits and informed the people inside that there were visitors outside.
"So you are still alive." Aaron waited for a long time before hearing the cold voice of the old district chief.
"Yes, barely alive." Aaron smiled.
"Come in." Aaron heard the old district chief sigh inexplicably, and the iron door, which was as thick as a bank vault, slowly opened a gap that could allow people to pass through.
A strange smell hit his face, but it felt very familiar to Aaron. He should have smelled a similar smell in the designer's underground stronghold.
Then he saw many more people than he expected behind the door. At a glance, there might be a dozen or twenty of them, with gray faces and injuries on their bodies. Some looked like civilians and some were wearing military uniforms. These
People were sitting or lying dejectedly against the wall of the hall, some distance away from each other. When they noticed that the door was opened because of Aaron, they all cast a look of worry and anger, as if blaming him.
The appearance of Aaron forced them into danger.
"Don't be dazed, come in quickly." The old district chief was still sitting on the chair belonging to the security guard, but instead of the paper newspaper of that day in his hand, there was a paper book whose cover Aaron could not see clearly.
"Oh!" After being scolded, Aaron woke up from his dream and hurriedly walked through the iron gate and entered this foreign-like space.
"Another unlucky guy." The iron gate closed behind Aaron, and the old district chief sighed again.
"...What did you say?" Aaron actually heard the sigh of the old district chief clearly, but the weird atmosphere here made him really uneasy.
"Do you know who is controlling the drone outside?" The old district chief did not answer him directly, but asked a question instead.
"Not the military?" Aaron revised his answer when he caught a glimpse of a man in military uniform lying half-dead on the floor.
"I don't know who it is, but it's not the military anyway." The old district chief nodded, "If the military was in control, they wouldn't even shoot down their own plane and crash it on my rooftop."
"Ah?" Aaron was stunned. This was too much information.
The swarm drones outside were not controlled by the military, and even shot down military aircraft, causing the soldiers I saw to be trapped here. If this is true, then who controls these drones, and who
Who allowed himself to enter the district office unscathed?
"Now you understand why I sighed?" The old district chief picked up the tea cup at hand, put it in front of his mouth and took a sip.
"If you want to find the answer from me, unfortunately I don't know." Suddenly realizing that the most suspicious person now was himself, Aaron quickly tried to clarify.
"I'll tell you something similar. If you are here to solve the problem, unfortunately I am powerless." The old district chief did not express his position on Aaron's clarification, but instead imitated his tone and said in reverse.
"What do you mean..." Aaron's heart sank, maybe he and Yu Wanzhi thought of things too simply.
