Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 14 Fermentation
"If you don't get up, I'll hit you!"

There was a violent shaking sound, and Le Xiao woke up, looking at a white little man about half a meter formed by the light overflowing from the bracelet, with a round body, soft little fists, big round eyes, and puffy eyes. Xiaozui, that little fist kept beating Le Xiao's head.

"I know, I know I'll get up now."

Soon the villain smiled and turned into light and shadow and returned to the bracelet, Le Xiao showed a bright smile, the dazzling light of the sun came in from the window, her cheeks were red and hot, and Le Xiao rolled up on the bed. , holding the quilt and smiling like crazy.

She still remembered the wonderful time yesterday, and Gene took her around the street gently. He asked a lot of Gene's questions, knowing that he likes cigarettes, but he doesn't like sweets and other daily interests. Destroying the atmosphere, Le Xiao didn't mention 13 subjects and left Gene's phone number.

"Yeah, great!"

As soon as she thought of this, Le Xiao took the phone and looked at the number on it, 0013, a four-digit phone number. Although it was a bit weird, it was Jean's number. This morning, this bumbling little guy was shopping yesterday. On the way, Le Xiao said that he was always late. Gene bought it for Le Xiao in a light and shadow store for 300 yuan. Although Le Xiao kept resigning, he finally bowed to that gentle and handsome face and accepted it with joy. .

I glanced at it at 7:30, and it was still too late. Le Xiao, who had been heartbroken by her work, received a call from Shi Ke, the editor-in-chief of the second channel of the weekly magazine, and asked her to come to the ring at 10 in the morning this morning. In a hotel chain on 10th Street, the Comfort Chain Hotel is going to hold a press conference. They are short of staff and need temporary reporters.

One after another, good luck pulled Le Xiao from hell to heaven in an instant. Le Xiao, whose citizenship level has dropped to level 3, will be finished if she doesn't work harder.

Because of previous financial problems and more than 10 dismissals, after graduating from college, I was still at the 8th level of citizenship, and dropped to the 3rd level in a few years.

All the resumes and working hours of everyone in Bright City have a detailed and rigorous record. There is no room for people who do not work hard in the city. I was looking for a job in the 9th business department and recommended that kind of job, because Le Xiao has a bad track record. Her resume makes it particularly difficult for her to find a job now.

If this continues, the citizen level will continue to be lowered. Generally, if it falls to level 1, it will no longer be able to get up. Such a level will be defined as useless garbage. After one month, the citizen level will be automatically lowered. to 0, unless a miracle occurs.

What Le Xiao needs to pay attention to now is that she has been out of work for almost two days. If she does not work for 30 days, she will be interviewed by the 9th Business Section and forced to recommend a job. If she refuses to do it, she will go to the farm near the prison tower. Go to work, not to mention the low salary, you have to work from early to late for a month before you can keep your current citizenship level. If you refuse, your citizenship level will be downgraded directly.

After eating some liquid special food left over from yesterday, Le Xiao went out. As soon as she ran to the underground station, Le Xiao felt dizzy, her heart was pounding, her hands and feet were sore, and she pressed her forehead.

"It's been a little bit lacking in exercise lately."

The train galloped all the way. After three stations, Le Xiao was already standing on Ring No. 8 Street at around 10 o'clock. She was quite familiar with this place. When she was tested for her press card, she had been here for too long. .

Outside a 20-story high-rise hotel, it was already crowded with people, all of whom were journalists from the same company. It seemed that Shi Ke hadn't come yet. Le Xiao quietly looked at the many passers-by outside the hotel and said angrily.

The Shuchang hotel chain was exposed because of the unauthorized provision of special services for men and women in the hotel, as well as illegal gambling activities. They are going to hold a press conference, and as many as 9 hotels in the city have been seized for nearly a month.

"Lele, it's you, long time no see."

Le Xiao turned his head, a 40-year-old man with a face of vicissitudes stood in front of Le Xiao with a smile.

Xu Ming, the boss of the first Nuanyi News Agency where Le Xiao worked as an intern after graduation, Le Xiao was full of energy at first, and worked hard to report a large number of warm and positive events in the society, but this society did not know how No one likes to watch this kind of news. Their news agency originally only had four or five people, and the traffic was not good enough to make ends meet and eventually closed down.

Everyone likes to watch violent and bloody things, and they like to watch entertainment gossip, or some special reports for adults.

"Brother Xu, are you okay? I heard that you became a freelance journalist."

Xu Ming smiled and nodded, a slightly bitter smile.

"Lele, I heard that you were fired again. Do you want to?"

Before Xu Ming finished speaking, there was a violent roar at the door, the hotel door opened, and reporters started lining up to go in. Shi Ke also appeared and walked quickly with Mana. Last night Le Xiao has prepared the manuscript and the questions that may need to be asked on the spot.

"I'm sorry Brother Xu, if you're free tonight, I'll invite you."

There was a surging crowd, and there was a long queue in front of the large light and shadow hazard measuring machine that appeared at the door. Shi Ke was explaining a lot to Le Xiao.

Then, when it was Le Xiao's turn, as soon as he walked to the danger measuring machine that looked like a gate, a green light flashed on the light and shadow screen next to him. Le Xiao blinked in confusion. Everyone else had to scan for a few minutes. passed.

"Sure enough, it passed in 1 second."

Both Mana and Shi Ke went to the adjacent room to complete a full-body search, and also cross-examined a lot of things before they were able to enter.

"The press conference of the Sanlian Company in a few days, this idiot will come in handy."

"She can bring things in, nothing goes wrong. We waited for a few months at the gate of Section 2 until we finally found someone who could use it. I'll call everyone tonight, don't make any mistakes, you must be with us. This little girl communicates well."

Shi Ke hummed, showing a sinister smile.

For a whole day, 13 hours, Le Xiao received a salary of 260 yuan, and she was so tired that she couldn't move. When she got home, Le Xiao lay on the bed, smiled contentedly, and had to meet Xu Ming for a while.

It was just after 10 o'clock, and Le Xiao planned to take a shower and go to the bar on the corner, and today Shi Ke said that if the next report is done well, he will recommend himself to the company boss and can work in the weekly magazine.

"Finally good luck, I can ask Jean out tomorrow."

Located in the middle section of Industrial Avenue on the west side of the city's middle floor, a huge building with a red cross background and the number 4 logo, the 4th medical department, and the 19th hospital are still busy at this time. Inside, the lights were transparent, and people flashed from time to time.

Medical care is the foundation of a society. From the beginning of the establishment of Bright City, medical care has been undertaken by the Congress. All citizens can go to the medical department for treatment at low prices. It is only for some special diseases that require expensive biotechnology drugs. The price will also be very expensive, only some minor ailments and pains are cheap.

At this time, in the third basement of the 19th Hospital, in an aisle, Gene quietly watched the case data on a light and shadow screen. Michelle next to her was covering her nose, and the pungent smell of disinfectant was in the air. diffused.

A staff member of the 4th Medical Section in a black uniform stood by and waited. There were wards on both sides, and there were patients who had been penetrated by the beams of light.

The application of light and shadow has been used in medical technology for half a century, and it is now relatively mature. After entering the human body through special light, after the lesions or inflamed parts are solidified, the treatment can be started, and drugs can be given or even carried out. Surgery, direct treatment from the inside.

"This is your hospital's data. I want specific data, and I need to know the specific number of victims."

"The patients with vascular myomatosis are divided into three stages. The number of patients in the onset stage is huge. Lord Jean, it is temporarily impossible to count, and the patients in the deterioration stage."

The medical staff of Section 4, who was wearing a white mask, looked at Michelle, who was wearing a white uniform.

"Tell me the truth."

"A total of 15783 people, the number is mainly in the slums, and many blocks in the lower level cannot be counted for the time being."

Gene looked at the patients in the ward, whose bodies had been severely deformed, their skin was black in many places, and the pain was so painful that they could no longer speak.

"There are about 1384 patients in the death stage. We have 160 people here. There is no treatment at this stage. After eating liquid food for a long time, the pathological lesions are being studied and investigated. It's down to the particle level."

Gene turned off the light and shadow screen, leaned against the corridor, lit a cigarette silently, and raised his head.

The problem has begun to ferment gradually. The 4th medical department asked Sanlian to discuss it half a year ago, hoping that they would hand over the particle ratio file of liquid food, but it has been delayed until now, and it has not been able to get it. The problem is getting more and more serious. Now, there are already rumors in the society that there is a problem with liquid food. In order to suppress all this, a month ago, the 4th medical department announced a fake news, the infectious disease of unknown cause, and the characteristics of the infection, just a certain Some people are contagious.

"But now we have found that some people have special antibodies in their blood that can resist hemangiofibroids. At present, patients in the death stage can only remove the fibroids produced on the blood vessel wall to temporarily save their lives."

After glancing at the patients in the ward again, Gene turned and walked up, and Michelle quickly followed.

"Lord Jean, this matter must not be messed up, otherwise"

Gene nodded. He knew very well that if the problems of the Sanlian Company were really exposed, the whole society would probably be in a river of blood in an instant, so Gene wanted to make the Sanlian Company take the initiative to admit that some of the food was contaminated or something like that. Rhetoric, pay money like this, find a way to cure the people, and take the initiative to admit that it is much better than the day when things really exploded, and the impact on the whole society can be alleviated.

Walking to the street, aerial medical take-off and landing planes hurriedly returned to the hospital, and a new batch of deteriorating patients entered the hospital again.

"Master Gene, just keep pressing. Poverty is the original sin. If these people work harder when they are young and strong, they don't have to lose their lives for a can of liquid food for 1 yuan."

"Things can't be suppressed. Those guys who have already discovered the hidden filth of the Sanlian Company will expose all this."

The two walked all the way. At this point, most of the workers in the factory just got off work. All the nearby factories are dome-shaped, and the maximum area that receives sunlight can provide electricity to all the equipment in the factory.

All the generated waste gas and waste will be directly discharged into the deep ditch outside the Bright City through the underground pipeline that was planned and laid from the beginning.

An uncontrollable feeling spread all over his body. Gene walked quickly down the street, and soon came to the stairs to the lower floor. The light on the lower floor was very weak, dotted with stars, and many places were dark.

"Help me find out where the people who developed this liquid food were originally."

Michelle sat aside and shook her head.

"Lord Jean, those people are probably dead or exiled. As for the recipe, only the three founders know, and I'm afraid they won't say it when they die, because once they fall, there will be many people behind them. Being involved, the entire interest group will never allow this kind of thing to happen.”

Gene stood up, looked further away, the dark barrier area, and showed a smile.

"Hope may still exist. It's enough to solve all the essential problems. If there is not enough food, let the food supply meet every corner of the city."

Michelle smiled and shook her head.

"The rhetoric of the 12th Division to establish an agricultural foundation in the barrier area is just a beautiful and intoxicating bubble. If it is really implemented, it will encounter many resistances, just like most people will be full of hope as long as they see the sun tomorrow. , such a bubble is as dazzling as the sun to them."

Gene took a step forward and stepped down the stairs.

"You go back tonight, Michelle, I have to deal with something."

Michelle was startled and seemed to feel something.

"Lord Jean, what are you going to do?"

"It's just dirty work, so don't go to Michelle. Don't you have a serious cleanliness addiction?"

Looking at Michelle's puzzled look, Jean said.

"I will go to the waste discharge pipe and find the waste discharged after the Sanlian Company produces food, from which I can find the particle-level formula."

With a whimper, Jean had disappeared. Michelle covered her mouth and looked into the distance in disbelief.
