[Detroit] No Paradise

After a moment of silence, North looked at Joshua and then at Marcus: "Who is he?"

"..." Marcus moved his eyes from the staff who fell to the ground to Joshua's face, hesitated and said, "The people who helped me before."

"Joshua Herbert." Joshua said his name openly: "What about you?"

"Marcus."

"It seems that you are doing well, much better than before." Joshua glanced at the control room, and he saw four abnormal androids, all of them looked at him vigilantly, moving forward and backward quite a bit. headed means. "What are you here for?"

"Don't tell him, we can't trust human beings!" North still did not put down the gun in her hand, she stared at Joshua, as if as long as the latter made the slightest hostile action, she could blow his head off.

"Relax, miss." Being pointed at by a gun, Joshua didn't look nervous at all, but instead showed a gentlemanly smile in his own opinion. He lifted his coat and let North see his Waist: "Look, I'm unarmed."

The action of him lifting the jacket made North even more nervous, she took a step forward, and the bullet was loaded: "Don't move!"

Josh, who was standing aside, quickly shouted, "Noth! Don't be impulsive!"

Joshua stopped helplessly, froze there as if the pause button had been pressed.

Marcus quickly stopped North: "Noth, put the gun down first."

"Are you all crazy? I don't want to work so hard to get here, but my success falls short because of my carelessness at the last moment!" North said angrily, but still put the gun down.

The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.

Joshua could imagine that if Marcus had accomplices, that is, other anomalous androids, there might be androids that were less friendly to humans.But fortunately, Marcus's attitude towards him was mild and didn't seem hostile.

For Marcus, the only human beings who have shown pure kindness to him in this world are Carl and Joshua. hand.

In them, Marcus saw the brilliance of humanity.

So he chose to trust Joshua.

"...We came here to let the whole world hear our voice." Marcus looked at Joshua and said calmly. "I think you have also seen how our nation is enslaved and oppressed in this country. It is time for the world to understand that we are also living beings with emotions, thoughts, and consciousness, not plastic as they say machine."

His pair of pupils of different colors shone brightly under the lights in the control room, as if two small suns shone in his eyes, blazing and dazzling, and his voice had a convincing power, Gentle yet firm.

"..." Joshua was silent. Emotionally speaking, he was willing to side with the bionics, but intellectually speaking, he didn't think the outcome of this transformation was worth optimistic.

"You think we're whimsical, don't you?" North said coldly.

"No matter what the outcome is, we must take this step." Marcus walked to the console and said firmly: "If the world cannot hear our voices and understand our thoughts, then this revolution will never be possible." From the beginning, our nation will never be awakened and liberated."

"..." Joshua looked at Marcus and smiled, "I didn't think you guys were thinking too much. I just said that I'm here to help you."

Marcus gave him a surprised look: "Are you sure?"

As a human being, Marcus couldn't understand Joshua's thoughts for so decisively helping another race.

"I'm a mercenary." Joshua showed his usual mischievous smile: "A mercenary is only loyal to money, not race. Besides, I'm just helping a group of people who want to pursue freedom, and there is no moral problem .”

"But we can't pay you any money." Simon frowned and said calmly.

Joshua laughed: "Then let's pay on credit first, I'm not short of money, and I'm not in a hurry."

The bionic people looked at each other in blank dismay, and being able to get help from a human—and a human with extremely terrifying fighting power would obviously make things much easier for them.

Marcus quickly made a decision: "Okay, welcome to join, Joshua."

Joshua smiled, and retreated to the position next to the door of the control room: "Do whatever you want, and I will guard the door for you."

Marcus nodded.

Joshua leaned against the door and lit a cigarette slowly. Hearing Marcus announce the independence of bionics to the world, he thought about his behavior just now, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

He really didn't expect that after retiring for so many years, he would be able to rekindle his interest in returning to his old career.Maybe it's because too long time of comfort and the life that can only be stimulated by alcohol and nicotine made him tired, maybe it's because the fierce and dangerous battlefield should be his destination, or maybe it's because of some kind of selfishness that he really doesn't care about it. He joined the camp of abnormal bionics without hesitation, ready to stand on the opposite side of human beings and help them set off a revolution in pursuit of freedom.

And from the moment Marcus stood on the roof of the Stratford Building and in the center of the control room, representing the bionic man to send the voice of freedom to the world, the situation in this country has changed.

Just like the heavy snow that is falling in Detroit, the bitter cold wind howls over the city, freezing all life under the ice, cold and chilling.And perhaps behind this cold, the hope of spring dawn is brewing.

Joshua suddenly thought of Connor, he thought, if this revolution is really successful, then Connor would have no reason to insist that he is a machine, no reason to hunt and kill abnormal androids.

If it doesn't work, maybe Marcus can help him and turn him into an abnormal bionic.

At that time, this country will recognize the identity of the new race of bionics, recognize the equal status of humans and bionics, and maybe pass the decree on the marriage of humans and bionics.

Thinking of these wonderful futures, Joshua couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He didn't even know which planet he had flown to. He was delighted to think about what life would be like after marriage, and even considered how humans and bionics should be. The question of how to have a baby.

Just when Joshua was distracted, no one noticed that the staff member who was beaten by Joshua and fell to the ground had come to his senses, lying on the ground and covering himself with his body, Turned on the phone alarm.

After Marcus's speech was over, Joshua finally came back to his senses. His mind was awakened by the sound of chaotic footsteps not far from the door.

As soon as these footsteps sounded from well-trained soldiers or special police, Joshua's expression turned serious. If it was just an ordinary security guard, he might be able to solve it by himself, but if it was a group of heavily armed soldiers, he might be unarmed. It's hard to hold on even for half a minute.

But why did it come so fast?

It was too late to think about this question at this time, Joshua quickly said to the bionic people: "Someone is here, run!"

As soon as the voice fell, the door was violently knocked open, and a group of heavily armed special police rushed in with submachine guns, and opened fire on the bionics without hesitation.And Joshua, as a human being, was ignored by them.

opportunity!

Joshua rushed to the side of the nearest special policeman, reached out his hand to clamp his hand holding the gun, and threw the man over his shoulder to the ground with all his strength, and snatched the gun from his hand. The submachine guns fired indiscriminately at the special police wearing body armor, and there was a burst of gunfire and sparks flying all over the place.

The sudden and powerful firepower made all the special police officers unresponsive, and no one counterattacked for a while.

"Are you all mentally handicapped!? Run!!" Noticing that the bionic people seemed to be stunned by his tough and fearless behavior, Joshua yelled at them helplessly.

"Simon!" Marcus, North, and Josh rushed to the door leading to the rooftop, only to realize that Simon hadn't followed. Looking back, Simon fell to the ground with several blue marks on his body. blood hole.

"Leave me alone, run!" Simon said decisively.

"I'm going to rescue him, you guys run!" Joshua said while dropping the heavy submachine gun, and he rolled and hid behind the console table.The sudden burst of fire attack can only catch the special police's attention by surprise. Now they have reacted. Joshua is not wearing a body armor, and he is looking for death if he confronts them head-on, even if he is holding a submachine gun. Throw it down to lighten the load.

North stood behind the wall of the door leading to the rooftop, and decisively threw the pistol in her hand towards Joshua.

"Good girl." Joshua's eyes lit up. The pistol is not very useful in the face of these heavily armed special police officers, but at least it is light enough that it will not affect his actions, and it may have an unexpected effect.

Joshua quickly rushed out from behind the table, accurately caught the falling pistol, fell sideways on the ground, slid to the back of another table by inertia, got up quickly after blocking part of the firepower, and stood up. The dense bullets rushed towards Simon, and he was quickly picked up. At the same time, he kept shooting at other humans in the control room with pistols.

Those special police officers didn't know that Joshua would intentionally hit it wrong, so they could only be distracted to protect other humans. For a while, the pressure of firepower was much less, and Joshua took the opportunity to rush to the rooftop with Simon on his back.

North, Marcus and the others had been waiting on the roof, and locked the door of the roof the moment Joshua rushed up.

"It's so exciting." Joshua cursed with a leisurely smile.

"We need to jump off the roof," Marcus said.

"We only have four umbrella bags." Josh quickly discovered the problem.

"You guys go, I can't go anymore," Simon said on Joshua's back, his LED lights flashing red, showing that his biological components were severely damaged. "Do not bother me."

The atmosphere suddenly became serious. After a brief silence, North said in a heavy tone: "We can't keep him here. Once they detect the memory, the location of Jericho will be exposed."

Marcus gripped the gun tightly in his hand.

The safest way now is to kill Simon before the arrival of human beings, but killing his companions by himself is too heavy for anyone.

Joshua also understood what North meant. He frowned and looked at Marcus: "Don't tell me you want to kill your comrades."

"..." Marcus was silent. Of course he didn't want to kill his companions, but now it was a difficult time. Simon was severely damaged, so he obviously couldn't go with them. Staying here would expose them. Dangerous base camp.

Joshua heard the sound of knocking on the door behind him, and knew that time was running out, so he said decisively to Marcus, "You guys go first, Simon and I stay."

"What? Are you crazy?" North didn't understand Joshua's intentions.

"Listen to me first, you guys hurry up, if you don't go, you won't be able to go!" Joshua quickly ran towards the other end of the rooftop with Simon on his back, without saying any more.

Almost at the same time, the door of the roof was knocked open, and armed special police rushed up with guns, and there was a burst of gunfire.

Marcus reacted extremely quickly, and he shouted at Joshua's back: "Joshua!"

Joshua turned his head and saw a pistol flying towards him, and quickly stretched out his other hand to catch it.

With the two pistols of North and Marcus, he has more bargaining chips for survival.

After Marcus threw the gun, the bionics quickly ran to the edge of the roof and jumped off without hesitation.

On the other end, Joshua is running desperately with Simon on his back. As one of Detroit’s landmark buildings, the Stratford Building has a large roof space and a lot of debris, which is quite beneficial for hiding and terrain warfare environment.

Joshua found a hidden corner and squatted down, stuffed Simon into a huge box, handed him a gun, and whispered: "Protect yourself. No matter what happens, don't come out !"

"What about you?" Simon grabbed Joshua who was about to run out, "You can't go to die!"

Humans are different from bionics, they are much more fragile, once they suffer any damage, it is really over.

"No, I'm just going to find a place to hide." Joshua said.Of course it would be best if he didn't get caught, Joshua didn't want to fight head-on with the SWAT police whose equipment was several blocks away from him.

"You take this." Simon handed the umbrella bag he was carrying to Joshua: "If there is danger, you run."

Joshua looked down at the umbrella bag, did not refuse, took it, and carried it on his back.He covered the box, pulled another box over to cover it, and left after making sure everything was safe.

Fortunately, the special police did not search the rooftop for too long. They left after Marcus and the others jumped off the rooftop, leaving only a few special police on the rooftop to protect the scene from damage.

Joshua hid in a box not far from Simon, put the gun on the ground, breathed into the palm of his hand, and watched his exhaled breath turn into a cloud of white mist in the cold air.

It's really cold on the roof.he thinks.
