Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 1335 Cheers

On the street, the low-level people who watched the mutants' promotion exams became more and more emotional, and the exams had already started in all 10 exam rooms.

The commentators in every examination room were shouting vigorously. Some commentators saw the excitement and stood on the table directly, raising their hands and cheering.

Yincai walked slowly towards an alley, and the bustling sounds behind her gradually faded away. It had been a long time since she had seen Area 67 so lively. Get old people and kids.

Most young people work in factories all year round, and only come back occasionally. Yincai will return to the place where she was born every once in a while. The houses and streets are still the same as 40 years ago. There is no change, but it has become more old.

There used to be quite a lot of children here, but now there are fewer, most of them are old people, there are some familiar faces, Yincai didn't take the initiative to say hello to these people, because she knew very well that if she did, it would be difficult for her Get away.

When I came here, Yincai asked the local administrative department officers not to follow her, and it was like this every time, so every time Yincai came, these officers were very tactful and kept silent, but they would still Invite Yincai to dinner, and Yincai will go from time to time.

But many times Yincai likes to wander around this area alone, not because she misses something, but because she wants to have a look, and she herself may not know exactly what she is looking for.

A long time ago, when the Western Industrial Zone was being built, there was no birth control, and there were many children. Yincai still remembers that the streets were full of children at that time. I am willing to come back. If I have family members, I will come back occasionally. If I don’t have family members, I will basically never come back.

Although every district will open up reproductive rights every few years, there are many poor districts at the bottom, and many parents have voluntarily given up their reproductive rights. There are many districts at the bottom like District 67. The future will die a little bit.

This time, the pungent metallic smell in the wind became lighter. Yincai walked on a winding stone path between houses, walking up a little bit. From a distance, you can see a mountain standing on the top of a hill. Above, dilapidated, large buildings that are about to collapse.

On the original white dome, the white has been covered with black and gray. This facility built during the war has been used as a temporary shelter for the homeless in the past years.

In the end, it was converted into an orphanage. The land was worthless in this kind of place. Yincai stopped and looked at the damaged wooden door on the left, which was tied to a small piece of metal with a line of small words engraved on it.

Zhang Lin, if you go home, remember to find us at your uncle's house in District 89, we are waiting for you.

This is the 30th time Yincai has seen the rusty metal plate, and no one has touched it.

Yincai once inquired that there are 15 people named Zhang Lin in the city, but none of them were born here, and the age is not right, so this person named Zhang Lin should be a black family. There have been many criminals and illegitimate children in the past. , as well as people who were expelled to the barrier area and returned to the city by relying on the gully area that was not yet fully formed at that time, and even many people who were unwilling to pay taxes chose to hide when the population information was registered. became a black household.

With the virtualization of currency, these black households gradually surfaced. When Niya took office 20 years ago, she was cracked down once, but there are still some black households at the bottom. Many of them are in a dilemma and can only rely on some The local powerful gangs help with wallets and live on meager income.

Among them, after the birth control was implemented that year, more children were born, and Yincai used to be a black household.

In front of me is a broken bridge. In the ravine nearly 5 meters deep, you can still see some rusty metal spikes and some scattered bones. This was originally a fortress on the top of the mountain, with ravines around it And a city wall nearly 10 meters high.

A large section of the city wall on the right side of the front has collapsed, and the main building inside is the tall dome house that could be seen before, with a total of 8 floors, surrounded by large and small houses, and the surrounding area is no longer inhabited. .

On the 20-meter-long bridge, Yincai squatted and jumped over it, and landed on the metal gate that had fallen, and the memory began to come to mind again.

When she was 14 years old, when she was walking out from here, an old worker who often worked on the construction site saw her pity, so he took her to the construction site.

The days when she was a black household were the deepest in Yincai's memory. She had to avoid the people in the administrative department from time to time, and she had to pay a certain amount of money to the local organization regularly.

In the past, in order to warn the large number of black households that remained, the black households arrested by the administrative department were usually sentenced to 5 years in prison. When Yincai was 18 years old, she was arrested. She either went to the eastern grain base to serve 5 years in prison, or left the city directly. .

23-year-old Yincai came out of prison and obtained a third-class citizenship and a service fee of 3 yuan. At that time, Yincai was shocked. She never thought that after she was released from prison, she would still have a sum of money to live temporarily. , and will not have to pay taxes for the next 2000 months.

For the past five years, Yincai worked on the farm during the day and learned to read with an old woman in the same cell at night. When she was working on the construction site, she found that people who could read seemed to be paid more.

Looking at the cylindrical 8-storey building in front of me, it is about to collapse. It has been neglected since more than 30 years ago.

On the ground that has been corroded into black by a large amount of harmful metal substances, a lot of garbage is randomly arranged. Inside the wall, in a lower place, you can see some colorful graffiti, and a series of fading that can no longer be seen clearly. Notes, Yincai walked over, pressing the wall with one hand, these notes were drawn by her before, together with the oldest boy in this orphanage.

More and more things came out of memory. Yincai had been looking for children in this orphanage over the years, more than a dozen of them were missing, and the rest had already been registered on the death list.

This orphanage is quite big. When Yincai was smaller, there were nearly 100 children in the orphanage. The director worked hard to maintain the use of the entire orphanage. Relying on a factory he ran, he went back and forth every day. Several districts, soliciting donations everywhere.

But it is difficult to feed so many children. Children often die due to illness, and the only way for the dead children is to burn them and throw them into the ditch.

Yincai once asked the dean if they should be buried, but the dean often said that although the sunlight is weak, this is a mountain where the sunlight can reach, and he wants to let the children who have been sleeping in the ravine bask in the sun.

What the dean often tells the children is that as long as they grow up and have strength, they can live, and as long as they are still bathed in the sun, they can live.

It’s just that the factory run by the dean finally closed down. Yincai still remembers that the dean was still thinking about countermeasures at that time. She saw the dean coming back from the outside several times, returning empty-handed and frowning, but when he came back, the dean was happy again. laughed.

There are fewer and fewer children. Some children are lucky enough to be accepted by other welfare institutions. Some children who are more beautiful are adopted by others. In the end, there are fewer and fewer children left, and those who are born thin and with Children with diseases, without exception, died here in the end.

The dean is still running around outside every day.

"Where are you going? Allen."

Yincai will always remember that day. The children left behind were tortured by hunger and illness every day, and they were taken care of by 16-year-old Alan and 14-year-old Yincai.

However, when there were still nine children in the orphanage, Allen chose to leave.

"Follow Yincai with me, the two of us should be able to survive."

"Didn't you say that you are the father and I am the mother, for them!"

Alan left the orphanage without any hesitation, but Yincai did not chase after her. She knew very well that if she left, the remaining children would die.

Finally the dean came back, and this time he came back here with a desperate expression, no longer smiling, and the dean persuaded Yincai to leave too.

What Yincai thinks most these years is that she left in the end. If she didn't leave at that time, she might die here too. After leaving for a while, she made some money and wanted to come back. This can be called A place for home, but the reality is cruel.

Yincai stepped into the gate of the building in front of her. She raised her head and seemed to be back in a trance when she was 15 years old. There are still rotten knots hanging on the beams. The dean committed suicide.

There was a sound of footsteps
"Sound color!"

A voice came from behind, Yincai's eyes widened, but she didn't turn her head away. She was a little puzzled, turned around and smiled slightly. The man behind him was wearing ordinary clothes, a white T-shirt, black jeans, and a band on his face. He is smiling, but his face is slightly pale, his facial features are regular, and he has short hair.

It's just that Yincai seems to be confirming something, she seems to have seen the man in front of her somewhere, the man smiled at Yincai, approached slowly, took out a key from his pocket, and immediately Yincai stared at him. Big eyes.

"You are Ellen!"

The man nodded, and put the uniquely shaped and rusty key in Yincai's hands. There were many irregular jagged teeth on both sides of the key, and a plum blossom pattern on the key handle.

Yincai was still staring at the man in front of her, she didn't believe it right away, although the outline of this man did look familiar, the man who called himself Allen walked past Yincai.

"follow me."

Holding the key in his hand, Yincai hesitated, but followed quickly. Everything in the hall of the building was very messy, with a lot of waste piled up.

Allen walked up to the stairs with Yincai. After going up the stairs for a certain distance, they were divided into left and right sides. Allen stopped at the middle staircase, then reached out and pressed the stairs to sweep away the accumulated dust, and soon A small piece of metal was revealed, which he snapped open to reveal a keyhole.

Yincai looked at Alan in surprise. Only he and Alan knew the location of the keyhole. There was a relatively large bunker underneath, but it had been abandoned long ago and there was nothing in it.

"Want to go down and have a look! I haven't been back for many years."

Yincai walked over and directly inserted the key into the lockhole. After turning it, with a crisp clicking sound, the stairs on both sides of the keyhole collapsed downwards, revealing an entrance with a musty smell. Passed out.

Allen took out his phone without saying anything, turned on the lighting function, and went down the stairs, and the bottom was empty. Allen went straight down, and Yincai looked at the back in a daze. In his memory, Allen often did this, when no one was around. When you go down, the bunker here is like a secret base that only she and Allen know.

Yincai finally nodded and followed, the underground is a bunker extending to the edge of the ravine.

However, Yincai was a little surprised at this time, her eyes widened, and in the originally empty bunker below, there were some things placed on the edges of the two sides.

patter
The lights turned on, and Yincai's eyes widened. There were a large number of weapons and small training facilities in the entire bunker. She had no idea what was going on in front of her. After checking some places, she found signs of life.

"What the hell is going on?"

Yincai looked at Alan, and Alan turned around, looked at Yincai and said.

"The dean is still alive."

For a moment, Yincai's eyes widened, and Allen continued to walk towards Yincai. As if planning to leave, Yincai suddenly blocked Allen.

"What's going on?"

From the corner of Otoya's eyes, she could see a large pile of weapons covered by cloth.

"I'm just a black household now. You may have too many things to ask, but the only thing I can tell you is that the situation will get worse and worse."

While speaking, Alan continued to walk, and Yincai pressed Alan's shoulder.

"Come back with me and tell me everything you know."

Allen smiled.

"You are very good now, you have completely changed, or you have not changed all this time, and I am the same."

Allen turned his head as he spoke, his eyes met, and he showed a smile.

"If you take my word for it, we'll meet again."

Yincai looked at Alan in surprise, and at this moment she was convinced that the man in front of her was indeed Alan.

"Is there any credit for a man who abandoned this place many years ago!"

Allen handed over the key to Otocai again.

"Take Yincai, this key, I came this time to give you this key."

Yincai hesitated, but in the end she let go of her hand. At this time, her heavy heart felt better, because the man in front of her was still alive, which Yincai did not expect.

"What have you been doing all these years!"

Allen walked to the stairs and turned around.

"Looking for some meaning to live."

"did you find it!"

Allen nodded.

"Please trust me, Yincai, you are the only person I can trust in the administrative department."
