Chapter 1148: Kill For A New Dawn

Translator: Lordbluefire

Sun Mo drove the car and sped through the vast fertile land of Paradise. He was using the greatest speed the car could muster to escape.

That bar boss was clearly an android with self-awareness and was also one of the rebels. Although he said he permitted the two of them to leave because Emma had pleaded mercy for the androids, Sun Mo knew that it was merely a method for him to show that he was on the side of righteousness.

So, that bar boss could prove that androids respected life more than humans and knew what was propriety, justice, integrity, and honor.

“What’s going on with you?”

Sun Mo turned his head and glanced at Emma who was in the seat beside him.

The young girl was cowering in her seat. Her hands hugged her knees, and she buried her head within.

Firstly, that android couple being killed had caused Emma’s mental state to be impacted. She felt that their love was very beautiful and shouldn’t be destroyed like this. Also, when she had seen the players being abused and killed by androids, she felt that they deserved it.

This was originally something to be happy about, but the matter of androids killing humans was something wrong according to the values she had been indoctrinated with since she was young.

It was like when a human abused a dog, everyone would surely call that human cruel. But if someone was bitten to death by the dog, everyone would feel that the dog was too menacing and had to be put down strictly.

Subconsciously, Emma’s original perspective, where androids were tools to do housework, had changed.

“Emma, don’t think so much. It’s useless!”

Sun Mo consoled her.

Emma shook her head. Her expression was one of disappointment.

“There’s no answer to this question. When the first batch of self-aware androids appeared, the day where they would stand against humans was set in stone!”

“There must surely be a way to solve this?”

Emma stared at Sun Mo.

“Let me ask you. If a museum caught fire, would you first choose to save people trapped inside or the priceless antique paintings?”

Sun Mo counter-asked.

“Save the people!”

Emma’s answer was very clear-cut. In fact, she even added more explanation. “I’ll save the kids first!”

“Alright, what if we exchanged humans with cats? Would you first choose to save the priceless paintings of humanity or the cats?”

Sun Mo asked again. The question was very incisive.

Emma fell silent. She was seriously considering this question. She only spoke roughly a few minutes later, “The paintings!”

“Is it because you feel that it was impossible to replicate the famous paintings, but there would always be many cats around? It wouldn’t matter to the world even if one or two cats died?”

Sun Mo continued asking.

“Mm!”

Emma nodded.

“What if those cats trapped within are pregnant? Or maybe, those cats have saved humans before?”

Sun Mo’s question got deeper.

Emma stared at Sun Mo. She was stunned.

(Are you a devil?)

“Human nature is a very complicated subject. Emma, there’s no need to feel conflicted. I feel that you should just follow what you feel.”

Sun Mo stretched out his hand and stroked her hair. “You shouldn’t be thinking about the loss of a painting or watching a cat being burned to death. Instead, you should be thinking whether you choose to save the paintings or cats in the end, they were lucky enough to survive. Because of you, they could continue on with their own stories! Emma, it’s enough as long as you have kindness in your heart and respect life!”

After hearing this, Emma’s bewildered gaze suddenly grew brighter.

(Your words are so logical! You shouldn’t be a bodyguard but a guide of life instead… Wait a minute! Why would a bodyguard android think of these things? Could it be that he…)

“Enemies are coming!”

Through the rearview mirror, Sun Mo saw three cars rapidly closing in.

“Can you drive?”

Sun Mo held the steering wheel with one hand, while his other hand loaded the gun.

“I can!” Emma nodded.

“Switch with me?” Sun Mo gave up his seat. “Don’t panic, just drive normally and leave everything else to me!”

Because Paradise was an existence that allowed players to do whatever they wanted to, there were all sorts of weapons here. Just Emma’s car alone had plenty of weapons in it.

Sun Mo picked a sniping gun. He loaded the bullets quickly and took aim.

Bang!

An android stretched half of his body out from the car window and was trying to aim, but Sun Mo had sniped his head.

Ding!

As Sun Mo pulled the trigger, the bullet shell popped out and landed on the ground.

“…”

From the rearview mirror, Emma saw Sun Mo killing a target with every shot. As for Sun Mo himself, he had completely no change to his expression. It was like he was doing an insignificant matter.

“Too cool!”

Emma’s nervous feelings also gradually calmed down due to Sun Mo.

The pursuers sped up and they also increased their firepower. Many bullets blasted into the car, creating clanking sounds.

Emma subconsciously shrank her neck back.

“There’s no need to be afraid. Unless I die, nothing will happen to you!”

In order to allow Emma to be able to focus on driving, Sun Mo blocked the area behind Emma, becoming a meat shield for her. By doing so, she would at least feel at ease on a psychological level.

The pursuers came closer, and the distance between both parties was less than 50 meters.

Sun Mo changed to a submachine gun and directly sprayed bullets.

“Charge over!”

The androids roared. At the same time, the suppression of their firepower caused Sun Mo to return to the car, not daring to show his head.

“AO!!!”

The androids screamed in a weird manner and floored the gas pedal until the engine let out a strange whirling sound as they sped forward.

“Capture them alive so we can play them until they die!”

Just after an android finished speaking, he saw that guy exiting the car again. Now, there was a rocket launcher on his shoulder.

“F***!”

After the androids cursed, the rocket blasted into them.

Boom!

Their car turned into a gigantic fireball and was sent flying through the air.

BOOM!

Sun Mo casually tossed the launcher aside. He took a shotgun and fired 7 shots continuously.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The glass shattered and the driver became a sieve. The vehicle lost control and drifted left and right before slamming into a large tree at the side of the road.

“T…too impressive!”

Emma exclaimed in admiration.

(Are you an emotionless killing machine?)

“You are an android too, right? Why do you want to serve humans?”

The other party roared when he saw Sun Mo. “We are from the same species!”

Emma’s heart trembled when she heard that.

Sun Mo’s expression didn’t change. He decisively pulled the trigger and replied the android with a spray of bullets.

“There’s no need for you guys to teach this daddy how to do things!”

After Sun Mo finished these pursuers cleanly, he had killed a total of nine androids.

“Do you want me to drive instead?”

Sun Mo smiled as he returned to his seat.

“No need!”

It was unknown why, but Emma suddenly felt very relieved when she looked at Sun Mo’s smiling face.

“We need to have some gas in reserve!”

Sun Mo stared at the map of Paradise at the navigation system. He chose a gas station that was considerably further away.

An hour later, the two of them arrived.

“You should wait here!”

Sun Mo instructed.

“No way, it’s too dangerous for you to go alone. I’ll accompany you!”

Emma stubbornly lifted her shogun.

Sun Mo shrugged. He didn’t mind it. They then entered the gas station.

There was no one here!

“I’ll go inside to check things first. You should find a place to hide and keep a look-out for me!”

Sun Mo didn’t enter through the door. Rather, he broke the window and tossed a grenade inside.

“Damn!”

Curses rang out within. After that, the grenade exploded.

Boom!

Airwaves and some wood fragments blasted out from the window.

After a while, Sun Mo then used his hand as support on the window sill and leaped into the house.

There were two android corpses on the ground.

“It should be safe now!”

Sun Mo inspected for a bit before walking out. He was preparing to add petrol to the car. “Emma, it’s safe now. There’s no need for us to continue being vigilant!”

“Okay!”

Although Emma replied, Sun Mo actually frowned. This was because her tone of voice sounded wrong.

(Oh no, could it be that she got kidnapped by an android?)

Sun Mo felt a headache. Just when he was pondering how to save Emma, someone suddenly called his name.

“Sun Mo?”

Sun Mo turned his head and saw Murong Mingyue holding Emma hostage. She stood up from her hiding place. “It’s you?”

Because androids were man-made, Murong Mingyue couldn’t be sure whether this person with Sun Mo’s face was Sun Mo himself or not.

“I like the Kite-Chasing Girl!”

Sun Mo’s answer caused Emma to be completely clueless, but Murong Mingyue could understand. It was the famous painting Sun Mo had drawn in the Dragon Subduing Academy.

“Emma, go and top up the gas for the car!”

Sun Mo knew that Murong Mingyue had many things she wanted to talk to him about. Hence, he could only get Emma to move away for now.

“What did you do? Earlier, someone used a communication device and told us to do our best to delay you guys!”

Murong Mingyue frowned. “Now, there should be many pursuers rushing here!”

Sun Mo explained simply before urging. “Come with me, let’s leave here first!”

“I can’t do so yet!”

Murong Mingyue shook her head. “Xinhui, Ziyu, and Xiuxun are all still here!”

“…”

Sun Mo frowned.

“Is she very important?”

Murong Mingyue knew Sun Mo’s feelings for An Xinhui, Mei Ziyu, and the others. He could give up his life for them. However, he was actually in conflict now. This indicated that the young girl must be an important character.

“Mn!”

Sun Mo sighed. “I keep feeling that the condition of clearing this game might lie in her!”

“In that case, you should hurry up and bring her to leave!”

Murong Mingyue was very rational and decisive. “I and the others are androids. We wouldn’t know what to do even if we went outside, so we might as well choose to wait in Paradise.”

“You are underestimating the strength of humans. I dare to say that this attempt at rebellion would soon be extinguished!”

Sun Mo kneaded his glabella. “How about this? You guys go and hide first. This young girl is named Emma, and her father is among the highest management of this city. Through this channel, you all should be able to find me swiftly.”

“Sun Mo, you should trust us!”

Murong Mingyue felt that she was being underestimated. “I know you care about us, but we wish to depend on our own capabilities to clear the game. We also have the ability to solve problems.”

“Haha!” Sun Mo laughed. “True, you guys are all geniuses!”

Murong Mingyue also smiled. Sun Mo wasn’t a male chauvinist, so he was able to listen to the opinions of others. This was also a point that she admired about him.

“In that case, pay attention to your own safety!”

After Sun Mo’s many reminders, he separated from Murong Mingyue.

In order to avoid Emma being pursued and killed, Murong Mingyue reported false information and got the pursuing androids to head off a different path.

…

Emma and Sun Mo only returned to the city after the second afternoon.

Paradise had become a warzone. Androids were entrenched there and had entered a gunfight with the city guards. Naturally, this incident was not known to the general public; otherwise, fear and panic would surely occur.

A place like Paradise couldn’t be made known to the ordinary public anyway.

That night, Emma’s parents rushed back to the villa.

“My baby!”

Li Linna hugged her daughter. Avery was much calmer. After seeing that his daughter was fine, he smiled and poured a glass of red wine.

“Father, can you close Paradise down?”

Emma suggested.

“I know that you are frightened, but there’s no need to be so afraid to the extent of wanting to close Paradise down, right?” Avery scolded. “You have grown up and shouldn’t be wilful!”

“It isn’t because of this!”

Emma shook her head. “I feel that humans in Paradise are too devoid of humanity.”

Avery’s expression turned cold. “Are you pitying androids?”

“Emma, quickly apologize to your father!” Li Linna urged.

“Yeah, I’m pitying them. This time around, I’ve seen many terrifying things in Paradise.”

Emma had only visited Paradise a few times and previously, she had gone there with her parents, treating their trip there as a leisurely holiday. Such scenes of massacre basically wouldn’t appear.

Bang!

Avery swept his cup onto the ground and glared at his daughter. “You are absolutely not permitted to utter such words in public!”

Emma replied very loudly. “It’s one thing for ordinary androids. But I feel that for self-aware androids, we should give them some rights!”

“Would you feel sympathy for your mobile phones and computers? When you are angry, wouldn’t you damage them?” Avery rebutted.

“This is different!” Emma persisted.

“Only the shape is different!”

Avery roared. “Also, who do you think you are? What rights do you have to make such a decision?”

“I’m your daughter. Father, you should be able to do this given your authority, right?”

Emma was very naive.

“Stop talking!”

Li Linna stopped her daughter.

“Butler, lock her in her bedroom. Without my instructions, no one is permitted to let her out!”

Avery was angry.

…

“Has that bodyguard of Emma gained self-awareness?”

Avery asked.

“I have no idea. We need to do a more detailed inspection.”

Li Linna had done a check. That bodyguard had protected Emma all the way, killing a path of survival out from Paradise.

Such strength was too powerful.

But there was no time to do such a detailed inspection.

“Go and inspect, forget it. Just directly demolish him and change to a new one!”

Avery impatiently waved his hands. “Emma finally became aware of this thing.”

“All daughters will eventually grow up!”

Li Linna sighed, feeling somewhat gratified.

The two of them were very busy people with high authority and great statuses. Usually, they would only return home every ten days to half a month. This time around, they came back because they were worried for Emma.

Since they were angry now, the two of them might as well return to their companies and concentrate on work instead.

…

“Come out!”

The butler forced Sun Mo’s door open.

When Sun Mo saw the armed guards, he immediately knew something bad was coming. They must be suspecting him. Just when he was preparing to attack, Emma’s voice rang out.

“You guys, scram!” Emma stood at the staircase and roared. “Immediately!”

“Miss?” The butler smiled.

“Scram!”

Emma took a decorative vase at the side and smashed it.

Thud!

The butler knew that Emma was his master’s favorite treasure so he didn’t want to anger her. He decided to obediently leave the place for now.

“I’ll act after Miss is asleep!”

Bang!

Emma entered Sun Mo’s room and looked at him before announcing with a straight face. “I want to leave home!”
