Chapter 1601 Fight!Master and Apprentice 66
The light of the morning sun began to warm the city. From the east, the light began to move towards other parts of the city. The light swept across the city little by little. It took more than ten minutes from seeing the light at the beginning to feeling the warmth.
In a long alley, the light continued to extend, and stopped when it approached a pair of black and callused soles.
Quasimodo opened his eyes and woke up from the dream again. He turned his head solemnly, and at the entrance of the alley, Pete walked over with a bitter expression on his face.
"I know where Miranda is, sorry Quasimodo, I lied to you."
嗡
Pete looked at Quasimodo in horror. His body was already floating in the air, as if he was about to be crushed. Quasimodo raised a hand, and black particles were flying in the air.
"Let go of me, Quasimodo, first, calm down and listen to me."
Quasimodo looked at Pete in a daze. He only needed to use his strength to turn the man in front of him into meat paste. The anger had completely eroded Quasimodo's heart. In his mind, what he saw at this moment The appearance of Miranda is no longer beautiful, but a rotten and dilapidated appearance with thousands of holes and pus all over her body.
"Listen to me slowly telling you about Quasimodo!"
Pete looked at the man in front of him in horror, looked at him beggingly, and kept shaking his head.
6:13 am
Located in District 1, a large number of businessmen and family members have gathered here. Many people are concerned about whether there are some things submitted to their district authority after the first city meeting.
A large number of reporters were interviewing on the streets, asking these merchant families what they had proposed to Congress.
Everyone is paying attention to this city meeting, because this meeting will determine the future of the city, and everyone hopes that the city will usher in a bright future.
"Let's play a game, shall we, Michelle?"
Yin Xianglin smiled and looked at Michelle who was sitting on the sofa and had already started reading. Although it was some children's books, it was very simple, but for such a young child, this time should not be a good time to have fun.
Yin Xianglin couldn't help laughing when thinking about the time when she was a child who played like crazy all day and night.
"Sister Michelle."
Yin Xianglin deliberately squatted next to Michelle with a childish voice.
"I'm sorry, Miss Xianglin, I want to study!"
Yin Xianglin thumped in her heart, she looked at Michelle helplessly, today's work report will be up around 10 o'clock, Yin Xianglin still has a lot of time, as long as it can be finished within today, she looks at Michelle With a serious attitude, Yin Xianglin felt that he could no longer slack off. Today, the general manager and section chiefs have entered the congress hall, and the meeting lasted for three days.
"Sister, let me start working too."
Yin Xianglin looked around, turned around and sat at Luo Jiahui's desk, turned on a light and shadow screen, and started working.
"Miss Xianglin, are you working hard!"
Yin Xianglin said with a smile.
"Of course it worked hard."
"Then why do you still do it!"
Yin Xianglin said after thinking for a few seconds.
"Because I'm still happy doing it now, if one day I'm not happy, or if something happens, I won't do it."
Michelle looked at Yin Xianglin incomprehensibly, and Yin Xianglin said with a smile.
"How about Michelle, how about you replace Sister Xianglin in the future? If you are so serious, you will definitely be able to do this job."
"Okay!"
Yin Xianglin walked over with a smile, picked up Michelle, and put her on the large chair at Locke's desk.
"Come on, you can study here today, the table is very big."
Michelle nodded, looking at the bright and clean wine red wooden desk in surprise, Yin Xianglin looked at Michelle quietly, always felt that this child was a little incredible, as if he could see something.
"By the way, Michelle, what do you want for lunch today?"
"Vegetables, a little meat, and soup."
6:36 am
All kinds of aromas permeate the air, which is incompatible with the fresh air in the forest.
In a solid small room with materialized light and shadow, the people in the administrative department and the councilors are making their own breakfast.
This is the Central Park above the Congress Hall. The start time of the Congress remains the same, starting at 10 o'clock. Before that, everyone can move freely in the Central Park.
Most of the staff of the General Affairs Division were in charge of making breakfast. At this time, the councilors also sat in several places in the park according to their factions.
It's just that Wu Qun and the eight of them found a room, and the eight of them gathered together and were eating breakfast.
"I always think that child is quite pitiful, Freya."
Wu Qun put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Freya next to him, and Beckinsale on the opposite side looked at Wu Qun unhappily.
"Old Wu, this is a family matter, besides, you have never even been married, let alone have children."
Wu Qun laughed and shook his head.
"If Michelle is not willing, I will not force her. The times will inevitably change. We cannot sit in this seat forever, and you too. Think about the future and how to make this good present carry on into the future.”
Freya raised the fork in her hand and said, Lin Xiao took a sip of the wine.
"One thing to say, Freya, today's situation may be very intense."
Everyone nodded. Except for the first issue, which is the separation of family marriage from family immunity and formally incorporated into the control of the Marriage Law, there should be relatively large differences between the two sides on some follow-up issues, so everything today will be abnormal. fierce.
"No matter what, we should have figured it out a long time ago. Once we officially set foot on this stage, we will inevitably become hostile to them. This is inevitable."
As Wang Ying spoke, she picked up a glass of wine that Lin Xiao handed over. Several other people found that Wang Ying looked very happy today, and Lin Xiao was the same.
"Pullman, I heard that your daughter was hospitalized a while ago."
Chris asked, and Pullman nodded.
"Hey! There are a lot of things going on recently, and my wife is a mother for the first time, and she doesn't have much experience. Improper feeding has caused enteritis, so it's not a big problem."
Baozhen nodded with a smile.
"It's almost there, we should go back to our respective camps."
Everyone was holding wine glasses, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Wu Qun, who was close to the door, walked over. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Eddie standing at the door with a glass of wine, smiling kindly.
"Old classmates! Can we chat for a few words?"
"What is there to talk about with you guy?"
Wang Ying looked over with her hand on her chin, and Freya immediately added.
"Eddie, if you want to talk business."
Eddie shook his head. He was in a good mood today. Looking at the eight people in front of him, he felt joy in his heart. He stepped into the room, closed the door and raised his glass of wine.
"Congratulations everyone! Respect to our eternal star student union."
Everyone also raised their glasses, and everyone took a sip.
"It's been 25 years!"
Eddie put down his glass and walked over, Beckinsale giggled.
"I didn't expect you to remember it, I thought you had forgotten it a long time ago."
Eddie shook his head. The student union of their alma mater has had a name for each session since the last few sessions, and their name for this session is Xingchen.
"I'm just here to catch up with everyone, not to talk about business, Freya, you must be too hostile to me!"
Freya put away her joking expression and became serious, as did the others. Everyone didn't have a good impression of Eddie, and over the years, many crimes related to the Hillman family, Let everyone feel disgusted with Eddie even more.
"What's wrong with everyone?"
Eddie glanced around the eight people, Wu Qun walked over with a smile, took the wine bottle, poured some wine into Eddie's glass, and put down the bottle.
"As a classmate, I have something to say, Eddie!"
"Of course, Old Wu."
Wu Qun said with a sigh.
"Stop it, there is something!"
Eddie looked at everyone suspiciously.
"What's the matter?"
Wang Ying laughed out loud.
"Don't take us for fools Eddie, what do you want to do, we are not fools!"
Eddie immediately showed surprise, but quickly shook his head.
"I don't know what you are referring to!"
"About the Angus family."
Freya said unceremoniously, then stood up.
"Eddie, if you want to mess around, I won't be polite."
Eddie hummed and raised his glass.
"Finally, I would like to respect everyone again. After all, it may be time for us to say goodbye in the future, and our positions are completely different."
Wu Qun put away his smile. Everyone present knew well what the intentional or unintentional actions of the Hillman family meant. No one was a fool. The Hillman family's plan to annex the Angus family was already It's obvious.
Those seemingly accidental things are actually inevitable. From the beginning of the construction, the Angus family had no choice but to accept the investment from the Hillman family. Later, Eddie lobbied the Angus couple to go public to temporarily alleviate the gap in construction funds. And pressure, until now after the delisting of the stock market, the Angus family, which is heavily in debt, can only sell most of the family land.
If it hadn't been for the administrative department to take the pricing power into its hands, the Angus family would be finished now.
"I shouldn't have done anything to make everyone angry!"
Wu Qun frowned slightly.
"I'll just say Eddie, be more mature!"
Eddie hummed, put down his wine glass and bowed, then turned and walked away, with a sense of satisfaction on his face.
Eddie is very clear that as long as there is no evidence, they can't do anything to them, and with their personalities, they won't drag ordinary citizens into trouble. This is the double guarantee of Eddie's plan.
The collapse of an Angus family has already made the city worse. Now if there is a problem with the Hillman family, Eddie will not need to explain the result. They will naturally know that no matter how much they complain about themselves, they will not do anything. of.
The poisoning caused by water pollution is enough to explain everything. Eddie originally thought that Freya would reveal the truth to the world, but the actions of the Medical Association and members of the medical faction surprised Eddie.
But Eddie's goal has been achieved. Although the matter was not exposed, it forced the Angus House, which is still closely preparing for the next phase of construction, to start construction before it is ready. If the previous things are exposed, it will only be icing on the cake. That's all.
"By the way, everyone! Where are you standing now?"
At this time, Eddie stopped at the door and asked a question. The people behind him were silent, and did not answer Eddie's question. He opened the door of the room with a smile and went out.
Seeing Eddie leaving, Freya's serious expression became angry.
"If there is evidence"
"Don't talk about Freya anymore, that guy is still the same as before, sinister and vicious. The deaths of many people who developed new drugs in the city in the past are absolutely inseparable from their family, and Eddie himself is also inseparable. It is not Pula. A guy like Tom can do it."
Lin Xiao stood up, and the eight of them started to pack up the dishes, then walked out of the room, looking at the waiting staff from the administrative department opposite the central fountain in the park.
6:49 am
Ah Choo
Mo Xiaolan sneezed and started to shiver. She glanced back at the bottomless ravine and the icy cold and terrifying air, her whole body shivered and her throat felt a little uncomfortable.
"I already told you, put it on."
Gene took out a dust mask from his pocket, and Mo Xiaolan put it on obediently at this moment.
"Is there still time to come down?"
Gene said with a smile, Mo Xiaolan glanced at the city shrouded in light behind him, and then at the wild and endless barrier area in front of him.
"No, if I walk for a day, my feet will get blisters. Even if I ride a motorcycle or drive, I can't stand it. Besides, it's not agreed, will you carry me there?"
Gene smiled helplessly.
"It's really willful."
Mo Xiaolan pouted.
"Who is capricious? No one wakes people up from bed early in the morning, and ah, how can you sneak into a lady's boudoir."
Gene smiled and shook his head.
"Sorry, I'm leaving and sit tight, the speed will be very fast."
Mo Xiaolan lay tightly on Gene's back, and Gene had already bowed his body. The moment the light blue particles floated, Gene had ejected out with Mo Xiaolan on his back.
According to the investigation report on the barrier area from Section 2 and Section 3, Mo Xiaolan deduced that there should be a hidden gathering place suitable for human habitation in the barrier area.
Some rough equipment that has been destroyed on the spot by Section 2 is impossible to complete in a place like the barrier area. Nowadays, although every garbage truck leaving the city is strictly inspected, it is impossible for criminals to leave the city from the garbage truck. But it can be used by micro lifts.
This kind of thing that can be bought in the black market is quietly circulating. Mo Xiaolan just talked to Gene about this for a few days, but now he is carried by Gene to the barrier area. Go deep into some places in the barrier area and investigate directly.
It is nothing new for criminals to flee. Now under the high-pressure policy of Section 5, most criminals will run away as soon as they are exposed, because they will definitely be caught if they don’t run, and once they are caught, they will be caught. With the current laws in the city, many people may not be able to get out after entering.
"Go over there and have a look."
There was a dilapidated town in front of him, Jin stopped, and walked over slowly with Mo Xiaolan on his back.
There are some figures in the town, but they look very loose. After a casual glance, there are probably less than 100 people. Many people are rummaging through some ruins, and some are constantly collecting things that float over. Rubbish.
As soon as the two entered the town, someone ran over.
"Do you have anything to eat? Hand it over."
A bony man held a sharp knife in his hand. He looked like he had lost the strength to hold it, and his eyes showed desire rather than threat.
Just as Gene was about to make a move, Mo Xiaolan grabbed Gene's ears and took out some dry military rations from his pocket.
"If you want to eat, you have to answer questions."
After a while, everyone in the town gathered, everyone looked at the dry food in Mo Xiaolan's hand, and there were more than ten people lying on the ground beside him.
"Is there somewhere you can get food here?"
One person rushed to answer, while Jean sat aside, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff.
The people from the 2nd and 3rd subjects who came to investigate before had inquired, but there was no result at all.
"I heard that there is a place to get food in the larger gathering place over there, but it's not there anymore."
Mo Xiaolan was still asking questions, but after asking around, most of the answers were irrelevant. After Mo Xiaolan gave them some food, he lay on Gene's back again.
"The people in Section 2 have asked about these things."
Mo Xiaolan said with a grin.
"A simple logical question, how long do you think you can live without food here?"
"A week at most!"
Jin bounced continuously on the cold and hard ground, and Mo Xiaolan on his back laughed.
"Don't say a week, even three days is enough. According to my calculations, there are now garbage disposal outlets in the east and west, and now some garbage disposal companies on both sides have closed down. In addition to the garbage that can be disposed of, the number of garbage trucks going out of the city is now reduced by 50 to 100 times compared to before construction.”
"That said, it's also true that the chances of getting food in a garbage truck out through the guard station is very small."
Gene replied, and Mo Xiaolan hummed.
"I'm afraid many people are unwilling to take such a risk and carry private goods out of the city in garbage trucks. Although there are lifts available, how many gangs and organizations can afford lifts, so I dare For sure, there must be a place here that can grow its own food."
Gene stopped. The distance of dozens of kilometers was nothing to him. There was a ruin in front of him. It was a point that had been dealt with by the 2nd Division before. town.
Congealed blood was still visible on some walls.
"Is it really okay to deal with it so roughly?"
Mo Xiaolan asked, Jin shook his head, but nodded again.
"Otherwise, what do you think should be done?"
Mo Xiaolan shook her head. She didn't know what to do. Most of the criminals who fled to the barrier area committed serious crimes, and their sentences were at least ten years.
In order to escape sanctions, most people flee to the barrier area is the best way, and then sneak back to the city from the northwest after the storm subsides, and live in some marginal areas, many businessmen's construction sites or factories, the favorite It is this kind of black households, who only need to give them a little food and a meager salary, and they can be sent away, and they dare not say anything.
The saved labor costs, as long as the number of workers is large, the company also enjoys a tax reduction policy, and the money is a net profit.
This is a very large underground criminal industry chain, which is often difficult to control.
Many people obviously only need to bear the crimes they committed, and there is still a chance to accept punishment, but most people automatically give up this opportunity and choose to flee. When Mo Xiaolan was investigating in the city, he saw such people. Many of them just wanted to run when they committed the crime, and they regretted it only after running, and they could only live in darkness for the rest of their lives.
"The scope is so large, it is not realistic to rely on manpower to find it."
"It's not realistic to rely on machinery. Since the other party has the ability to manufacture some simple machinery here, they have the ability to scale up the investigation, and how much does the machinery cost? In such a place where there is no network, if you want to use machinery to investigate , what is consumed is only the tax money of the people.”
Gene smiled, and the two continued to wander around the town, and soon came to the outside of a factory. Gene quietly looked at the dilapidated factory, which used to be a factory for producing clothes.
Before the light of the sun disappears completely, human beings still have plenty of time to prepare to fight against the darkness that envelops the earth after the sun disappears, but the remaining human beings have begun to fight.
As the sun's light became weaker and weaker, the battle became more and more out of hand. After half a century of darkness, although human beings survived, some facilities and towns that first appeared on this land were eventually lost. It became like this.
"What are you thinking Gene."
Mo Xiaolan is still looking at some damaged machinery, many of which are used to make items, most of which are used to make clothes, and some shelter materials. The people here seem to be living very well.
It's just that some of the corpses that were burned in the workshop made Mo Xiaolan uncomfortable.
After knowing where K went and what he did, Mo Xiaolan was shocked. It is true that if these criminals really go back, the burden on the administrative department will be increased, as well as their subsequent treatment and food supply. , will cause a certain burden on the city, the prison is already overcrowded, and with the current practice of Latis and the others, the result of these people entering the prison is the same, they can only wait to die.
"This is not Game Gene!"
Mo Xiaolan said to Gene seriously, and Gene shook his head.
"You told me about these useless little lazy people. If you really want to do something, the best thing is to take over the second subject."
For a moment, Mo Xiaolan didn't know what to do, she was still checking everything in the factory with the light.
Suddenly, Mo Xiaolan found a scorched metal box, opened it with difficulty, took some things inside, looked at it for a long time, and then took a look at the cauldron in the factory building.
"ore!"
Gene smiled and nodded.
"The amount of mineral deposits on this land is actually quite sufficient. Even if it supports the city's industry, there is no problem, but mining is very difficult."
"According to the current technology?"
Gene nodded.
"definitely no problem."
"It's not a trivial matter, Gene, can you stop acting like a fool."
Gene smiled and nodded, and the two walked out of the factory. Mo Xiaolan saw some tire marks that hadn't disappeared all the way. down.
"Has the excrement been checked?"
Gene was a little surprised, Mo Xiaolan said immediately.
"If you want to know what they have eaten, checking their excrement is the best way. What are you doing in a daze, go find it."
Gene was a little surprised. This is indeed a solution. As long as you know what the people here have eaten, you can probably determine some directions. In this barren land, things like excretion are all solved on the spot.
The investigation of Section 2 was too rough, and the investigation of Section 3 was limited to the surrounding areas of the city, and the formal in-depth investigation had not yet begun. This cold and hard land is vast and changeable, and it is too difficult to investigate.
"We have to ask Noah and the others to make a special machine."
After a while, Mo Xiaolan really found excrement in one place, and it had turned into a hard stone. She looked at it with a disgusted face, and looked around for a bag that could hold it, planning to take it back first. The specific inspection Then you will know what they ate.
At this time, Mo Xiaolan looked into the distance, although there was only a vague black outline, but a very huge mountain range.
"Where is that over there?"
"Alatan Ula Mountains, which means a majestic place."
Mo Xiaolan carried a bag of excrement and handed it to Gene with a disgusted expression.
"Will it be over there?"
Gene shook his head. He didn't know or was sure, because no one could imagine that someone could dig mountains and build a base in a place like the barrier area.
The time, materials, and manpower required for this project are immeasurable. Mo Xiaolan looked at the mountain range suspiciously.
"Take me over there."
"It's very far away. It's probably hundreds of kilometers in the past."
Mo Xiaolan nodded, but still insisted on going to have a look.
"As a woman, my sixth sense is very accurate. Put things down first, and come back to pick them up later."
Gene glanced back at the city behind him, bowed his body with a smile, Mo Xiaolan climbed up, and Gene started running again with her on his back and ejected.
Looking at the increasingly dark place in front of him, Mo Xiaolan always felt that this land always exudes a dangerous atmosphere.
Such a simple and rude way of dealing with it can only temporarily contain it, but if you want to contain it in the long run, the only way is to let the light shine on this land.
"Jin, what do you think about letting the light shine over you and slowly revive the land outside the gully?"
Gene smiled and nodded.
"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that the grain base in the east is already enough for the needs of the whole city, and there is even a shortage of labor."
"Just use a machine."
Gene didn't answer, and chose to remain silent. Once the mechanical breakthrough is opened, most people's life will be more difficult than it is now.
(End of this chapter)
The light of the morning sun began to warm the city. From the east, the light began to move towards other parts of the city. The light swept across the city little by little. It took more than ten minutes from seeing the light at the beginning to feeling the warmth.
In a long alley, the light continued to extend, and stopped when it approached a pair of black and callused soles.
Quasimodo opened his eyes and woke up from the dream again. He turned his head solemnly, and at the entrance of the alley, Pete walked over with a bitter expression on his face.
"I know where Miranda is, sorry Quasimodo, I lied to you."
嗡
Pete looked at Quasimodo in horror. His body was already floating in the air, as if he was about to be crushed. Quasimodo raised a hand, and black particles were flying in the air.
"Let go of me, Quasimodo, first, calm down and listen to me."
Quasimodo looked at Pete in a daze. He only needed to use his strength to turn the man in front of him into meat paste. The anger had completely eroded Quasimodo's heart. In his mind, what he saw at this moment The appearance of Miranda is no longer beautiful, but a rotten and dilapidated appearance with thousands of holes and pus all over her body.
"Listen to me slowly telling you about Quasimodo!"
Pete looked at the man in front of him in horror, looked at him beggingly, and kept shaking his head.

Today, the general manager and section chiefs have entered the congress hall, and the meeting lasted for three days.
"Sister, let me start working too."
Yin Xianglin looked around, turned around and sat at Luo Jiahui's desk, turned on a light and shadow screen, and started working.
"Miss Xianglin, are you working hard!"
Yin Xianglin said with a smile.
"Of course it worked hard."
"Then why do you still do it!"
Yin Xianglin said after thinking for a few seconds.
"Because I'm still happy doing it now, if one day I'm not happy, or if something happens, I won't do it."
Michelle looked at Yin Xianglin incomprehensibly, and Yin Xianglin said with a smile.
"How about Michelle, how about you replace Sister Xianglin in the future? If you are so serious, you will definitely be able to do this job."
"Okay!"
Yin Xianglin walked over with a smile, picked up Michelle, and put her on the large chair at Locke's desk.
"Come on, you can study here today, the table is very big."
Michelle nodded, looking at the bright and clean wine red wooden desk in surprise, Yin Xianglin looked at Michelle quietly, always felt that this child was a little incredible, as if he could see something.

All kinds of aromas permeate the air, which is incompatible with the fresh air in the forest.
In a solid small room with materialized light and shadow, the people in the administrative department and the councilors are making their own breakfast.

"Old Wu, this is a family matter, besides, you have never even been married, let alone have children."
Wu Qun laughed and shook his head.
"If Michelle is not willing, I will not force her. The times will inevitably change. We cannot sit in this seat forever, and you too. Think about the future and how to make this good present carry on into the future.”
Freya raised the fork in her hand and said, Lin Xiao took a sip of the wine.

If it hadn't been for the administrative department to take the pricing power into its hands, the Angus family would be finished now.
"I shouldn't have done anything to make everyone angry!"
Wu Qun frowned slightly.
"I'll just say Eddie, be more mature!"
Eddie hummed, put down his wine glass and bowed, then turned and walked away, with a sense of satisfaction on his face.
Eddie is very clear that as long as there is no evidence, they can't do anything to them, and with their personalities, they won't drag ordinary citizens into trouble. This is the double guarantee of Eddie's plan.
The collapse of an Angus family has already made the city worse. Now if there is a problem with the Hillman family, Eddie will not need to explain the result. They will naturally know that no matter how much they complain about themselves, they will not do anything. of.
The poisoning caused by water pollution is enough to explain everything. Eddie originally thought that Freya would reveal the truth to the world, but the actions of the Medical Association and members of the medical faction surprised Eddie.
But Eddie's goal has been achieved. Although the matter was not exposed, it forced the Angus House, which is still closely preparing for the next phase of construction, to start construction before it is ready. If the previous things are exposed, it will only be icing on the cake. That's all.
"By the way, everyone! Where are you standing now?"
At this time, Eddie stopped at the door and asked a question. The people behind him were silent, and did not answer Eddie's question. He opened the door of the room with a smile and went out.
Seeing Eddie leaving, Freya's serious expression became angry.
"If there is evidence"
"Don't talk about Freya anymore, that guy is still the same as before, sinister and vicious. The deaths of many people who developed new drugs in the city in the past are absolutely inseparable from their family, and Eddie himself is also inseparable. It is not Pula. A guy like Tom can do it."
Lin Xiao stood up, and the eight of them started to pack up the dishes, then walked out of the room, looking at the waiting staff from the administrative department opposite the central fountain in the park.
6:49 am
Ah Choo
Mo Xiaolan sneezed and started to shiver. She glanced back at the bottomless ravine and the icy cold and terrifying air, her whole body shivered and her throat felt a little uncomfortable.
"I already told you, put it on."
Gene took out a dust mask from his pocket, and Mo Xiaolan put it on obediently at this moment.
"Is there still time to come down?"
Gene said with a smile, Mo Xiaolan glanced at the city shrouded in light behind him, and then at the wild and endless barrier area in front of him.
"No, if I walk for a day, my feet will get blisters. Even if I ride a motorcycle or drive, I can't stand it. Besides, it's not agreed, will you carry me there?"
Gene smiled helplessly.
"It's really willful."
Mo Xiaolan pouted.
"Who is capricious? No one wakes people up from bed early in the morning, and ah, how can you sneak into a lady's boudoir."
Gene smiled and shook his head.
"Sorry, I'm leaving and sit tight, the speed will be very fast."
Mo Xiaolan lay tightly on Gene's back, and Gene had already bowed his body. The moment the light blue particles floated, Gene had ejected out with Mo Xiaolan on his back.
According to the investigation report on the barrier area from Section 2 and Section 3, Mo Xiaolan deduced that there should be a hidden gathering place suitable for human habitation in the barrier area.
Some rough equipment that has been destroyed on the spot by Section 2 is impossible to complete in a place like the barrier area. Nowadays, although every garbage truck leaving the city is strictly inspected, it is impossible for criminals to leave the city from the garbage truck. But it can be used by micro lifts.
This kind of thing that can be bought in the black market is quietly circulating. Mo Xiaolan just talked to Gene about this for a few days, but now he is carried by Gene to the barrier area. Go deep into some places in the barrier area and investigate directly.
It is nothing new for criminals to flee. Now under the high-pressure policy of Section 5, most criminals will run away as soon as they are exposed, because they will definitely be caught if they don’t run, and once they are caught, they will be caught. With the current laws in the city, many people may not be able to get out after entering.
"Go over there and have a look."
There was a dilapidated town in front of him, Jin stopped, and walked over slowly with Mo Xiaolan on his back.
There are some figures in the town, but they look very loose. After a casual glance, there are probably less than 100 people. Many people are rummaging through some ruins, and some are constantly collecting things that float over. Rubbish.
As soon as the two entered the town, someone ran over.
"Do you have anything to eat? Hand it over."
A bony man held a sharp knife in his hand. He looked like he had lost the strength to hold it, and his eyes showed desire rather than threat.
Just as Gene was about to make a move, Mo Xiaolan grabbed Gene's ears and took out some dry military rations from his pocket.
"If you want to eat, you have to answer questions."
After a while, everyone in the town gathered, everyone looked at the dry food in Mo Xiaolan's hand, and there were more than ten people lying on the ground beside him.
"Is there somewhere you can get food here?"
One person rushed to answer, while Jean sat aside, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff.
The people from the 2nd and 3rd subjects who came to investigate before had inquired, but there was no result at all.
"I heard that there is a place to get food in the larger gathering place over there, but it's not there anymore."
Mo Xiaolan was still asking questions, but after asking around, most of the answers were irrelevant. After Mo Xiaolan gave them some food, he lay on Gene's back again.
"The people in Section 2 have asked about these things."
Mo Xiaolan said with a grin.
"A simple logical question, how long do you think you can live without food here?"
"A week at most!"
Jin bounced continuously on the cold and hard ground, and Mo Xiaolan on his back laughed.
"Don't say a week, even three days is enough. According to my calculations, there are now garbage disposal outlets in the east and west, and now some garbage disposal companies on both sides have closed down. In addition to the garbage that can be disposed of, the number of garbage trucks going out of the city is now reduced by 50 to 100 times compared to before construction.”
"That said, it's also true that the chances of getting food in a garbage truck out through the guard station is very small."
Gene replied, and Mo Xiaolan hummed.
"I'm afraid many people are unwilling to take such a risk and carry private goods out of the city in garbage trucks. Although there are lifts available, how many gangs and organizations can afford lifts, so I dare For sure, there must be a place here that can grow its own food."
Gene stopped. The distance of dozens of kilometers was nothing to him. There was a ruin in front of him. It was a point that had been dealt with by the 2nd Division before. town.
Congealed blood was still visible on some walls.
"Is it really okay to deal with it so roughly?"
Mo Xiaolan asked, Jin shook his head, but nodded again.
"Otherwise, what do you think should be done?"
Mo Xiaolan shook her head. She didn't know what to do. Most of the criminals who fled to the barrier area committed serious crimes, and their sentences were at least ten years.
In order to escape sanctions, most people flee to the barrier area is the best way, and then sneak back to the city from the northwest after the storm subsides, and live in some marginal areas, many businessmen's construction sites or factories, the favorite It is this kind of black households, who only need to give them a little food and a meager salary, and they can be sent away, and they dare not say anything.
The saved labor costs, as long as the number of workers is large, the company also enjoys a tax reduction policy, and the money is a net profit.
This is a very large underground criminal industry chain, which is often difficult to control.
Many people obviously only need to bear the crimes they committed, and there is still a chance to accept punishment, but most people automatically give up this opportunity and choose to flee. When Mo Xiaolan was investigating in the city, he saw such people. Many of them just wanted to run when they committed the crime, and they regretted it only after running, and they could only live in darkness for the rest of their lives.
"The scope is so large, it is not realistic to rely on manpower to find it."
"It's not realistic to rely on machinery. Since the other party has the ability to manufacture some simple machinery here, they have the ability to scale up the investigation, and how much does the machinery cost? In such a place where there is no network, if you want to use machinery to investigate , what is consumed is only the tax money of the people.”
Gene smiled, and the two continued to wander around the town, and soon came to the outside of a factory. Gene quietly looked at the dilapidated factory, which used to be a factory for producing clothes.
Before the light of the sun disappears completely, human beings still have plenty of time to prepare to fight against the darkness that envelops the earth after the sun disappears, but the remaining human beings have begun to fight.
As the sun's light became weaker and weaker, the battle became more and more out of hand. After half a century of darkness, although human beings survived, some facilities and towns that first appeared on this land were eventually lost. It became like this.
"What are you thinking Gene."
Mo Xiaolan is still looking at some damaged machinery, many of which are used to make items, most of which are used to make clothes, and some shelter materials. The people here seem to be living very well.
It's just that some of the corpses that were burned in the workshop made Mo Xiaolan uncomfortable.
After knowing where K went and what he did, Mo Xiaolan was shocked. It is true that if these criminals really go back, the burden on the administrative department will be increased, as well as their subsequent treatment and food supply. , will cause a certain burden on the city, the prison is already overcrowded, and with the current practice of Latis and the others, the result of these people entering the prison is the same, they can only wait to die.
"This is not Game Gene!"
Mo Xiaolan said to Gene seriously, and Gene shook his head.
"You told me about these useless little lazy people. If you really want to do something, the best thing is to take over the second subject."
For a moment, Mo Xiaolan didn't know what to do, she was still checking everything in the factory with the light.
Suddenly, Mo Xiaolan found a scorched metal box, opened it with difficulty, took some things inside, looked at it for a long time, and then took a look at the cauldron in the factory building.
"ore!"
Gene smiled and nodded.
"The amount of mineral deposits on this land is actually quite sufficient. Even if it supports the city's industry, there is no problem, but mining is very difficult."
"According to the current technology?"
Gene nodded.
"definitely no problem."
"It's not a trivial matter, Gene, can you stop acting like a fool."
Gene smiled and nodded, and the two walked out of the factory. Mo Xiaolan saw some tire marks that hadn't disappeared all the way. down.
"Has the excrement been checked?"
Gene was a little surprised, Mo Xiaolan said immediately.
"If you want to know what they have eaten, checking their excrement is the best way. What are you doing in a daze, go find it."
Gene was a little surprised. This is indeed a solution. As long as you know what the people here have eaten, you can probably determine some directions. In this barren land, things like excretion are all solved on the spot.
The investigation of Section 2 was too rough, and the investigation of Section 3 was limited to the surrounding areas of the city, and the formal in-depth investigation had not yet begun. This cold and hard land is vast and changeable, and it is too difficult to investigate.
"We have to ask Noah and the others to make a special machine."
After a while, Mo Xiaolan really found excrement in one place, and it had turned into a hard stone. She looked at it with a disgusted face, and looked around for a bag that could hold it, planning to take it back first. The specific inspection Then you will know what they ate.
At this time, Mo Xiaolan looked into the distance, although there was only a vague black outline, but a very huge mountain range.
"Where is that over there?"
"Alatan Ula Mountains, which means a majestic place."
Mo Xiaolan carried a bag of excrement and handed it to Gene with a disgusted expression.
"Will it be over there?"
Gene shook his head. He didn't know or was sure, because no one could imagine that someone could dig mountains and build a base in a place like the barrier area.
The time, materials, and manpower required for this project are immeasurable. Mo Xiaolan looked at the mountain range suspiciously.
"Take me over there."
"It's very far away. It's probably hundreds of kilometers in the past."
Mo Xiaolan nodded, but still insisted on going to have a look.
"As a woman, my sixth sense is very accurate. Put things down first, and come back to pick them up later."
Gene glanced back at the city behind him, bowed his body with a smile, Mo Xiaolan climbed up, and Gene started running again with her on his back and ejected.
Looking at the increasingly dark place in front of him, Mo Xiaolan always felt that this land always exudes a dangerous atmosphere.
Such a simple and rude way of dealing with it can only temporarily contain it, but if you want to contain it in the long run, the only way is to let the light shine on this land.
"Jin, what do you think about letting the light shine over you and slowly revive the land outside the gully?"
Gene smiled and nodded.
"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that the grain base in the east is already enough for the needs of the whole city, and there is even a shortage of labor."
"Just use a machine."
Gene didn't answer, and chose to remain silent. Once the mechanical breakthrough is opened, most people's life will be more difficult than it is now.
