Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 17 The Dark Place
At 6 o'clock in the morning, the artificial sun slowly appeared from the east on time, and the slightly reddish light spread to the city little by little.

Jean stood at the Bridge of Weeping and looked back at the sun that looked like a huge fireball behind him. The artificial sun would simulate the correct position of the sun's rise and fall, and it was the best way for the sun to rise and fall, maintaining a warm climate of 15 degrees Celsius all year round during the day. At night the temperature drops to 10 degrees at most.

The climate will not change too much temperature. Such a temperature is conducive to the growth of a large number of crops, but at this moment, where Gene is, it is dim and dark, this is the real world, the appearance of the earth after the destruction.

There are a large number of abandoned houses, dilapidated streets, and old abandoned cars. Many places on the ground have been solidified, but some crops are planted on the edge of the large gully behind them.

Genn walked over slowly and crouched in front of these crops. Many crops were extremely malnourished, but some looked plump. Because of the artificial sun above Bright City, when the sun rose in the east and set in the west, the light would occasionally shine. to the edge of the gully.

It seems that a lot of potatoes are planted. The soil here is still moist, because the waste discharge area is below, but although these crops are edible, they have already been polluted, but people who live in dark places will not care. These.

In the distance, signs of human activities can be seen. With the lights on, the world will fall into a state where you can't see your fingers at night. Only some places on the edge of the ravine rely on the lights of Bright City at night, and the sight is slightly better.

Looking up at the sky, the thick black clouds will be a little gray, so this world is like a cloudy and rainy day during the day, but light cannot penetrate the polluted clouds.

After Gene took out the multi-functional light and shadow bag from his pocket, he called up the wardrobe function. Soon, the black uniform on his body returned to the wardrobe with a touch of light, and then a thick set of linen clothes was put on. with a black turban and a white veil.

In the barrier area without light, the temperature is between 0 and 5 degrees all year round, but it will not rain or snow, because the cloud and rain system constructed by the materialization technology of light and shadow over the Bright City will start to extract water from the air at night. molecules, and then artificially create water.

And these large amounts of water molecules pass through the special filtration system that the defensive wall had at the beginning of its establishment. When it is sucked into the wall, it will only absorb water molecules, but this is top secret to the outside world. The guild claims that the city has an underground reservoir. , can be used by humans for hundreds of years, don't worry for the time being.

In fact, the underground reservoir has been exhausted as early as a hundred years ago. More than 100 years ago, you can still see rain falling, but now you can't see it. The barrier area is dry and cold year after year, like a desert at night.

Water is an extremely scarce resource here. The guild regularly distributes solid compressed heavy water to the people in the barrier area every month. This is all developed by relying on liquid deformation technology. A fast 500 ml solid compressed heavy water can be used after liberation. The water volume can reach 1 ton, the weight remains unchanged, and only the form can be compressed to only 500 ml.

I came to the dilapidated block that had long been corroded by the chemicals in the air. There was no one living here. The gully of the bright layer had a light and shadow partition wall, which would isolate the harmful chemical substances discharged.

Looking at a car that had been disassembled to the point where only the shell remained, Gene sat in the car, took out a cigarette, and waited quietly.

Gene came to the barrier area in order to plan to run around the barrier area in the past few days to interview all the independent armed forces. This is the only thing he can do now. For those radical armed forces, he will directly obliterate them.

If the problems in Bright City break out, the biggest threat comes from the outer barrier area, where a large number of vicious people live, and there are two completely different worlds under the sun and in the dark.

A world with civilized laws and a world where power is supreme, the two worlds have long been divided by that ravine.

Gradually, on the street in the distance, a man in similar attire to Jean walked over, looking at the figure of a woman.

"Lord Jean, my name is He Min."

As soon as she arrived, the woman took off the black veil, revealing a face that was somewhat pale and vicissitudes of life. The woman was upright and beautiful, with large and small black spots on her face.

Gene nodded, took out a cigarette and handed it over to help He Min light it. He Min took a deep breath as if he had been reborn, raised his hand, light and shadow flowed in the bracelet, and an identity certificate appeared.

It belongs to the 3rd Military Section, operation code 3BK00189.

"Do you have anything to eat, Lord Jean, these days."

Without waiting for He Min to speak, Gene opened the light and shadow locker, which contained bread and meat. He Min swallowed and ate it, as if he had been hungry for many days.

BK is the eyeliner placed by the 3rd Military Section in the barrier area. The biggest purpose is to prevent the people in the barrier area from planning a plan to invade the city, and many other things.

Between He Min's meal, Gene looked at the light and shadow report that He Min transmitted to him.

At present, there are 793 armed forces in the barrier area. According to incomplete population statistics, there are about 700 million people. Among them, there are more than 1 mutants. About 4000% of them are over 40 years old. % are children and the remaining 100% are young adults.

The numbers are much different than what Jean has seen before. Among them, more than 1 mutants are the biggest threat. It is not difficult to break through the guard station, because most mutants have the ability to harden, Bullets can't penetrate their bodies, and although light-killing weapons can be activated, if the bridge is destroyed, it will be extremely difficult to rebuild, and the invisible defensive barriers that shroud the perimeter of Bright City will also be affected.

"Lord Jean, to be honest, I can't take it anymore. I may go crazy if I stay in this place, can you give me another cigarette?"

He Min, who was full, hugged his legs, curled his head and leaned against his knees. Gene took out a cigarette directly from the light and shadow locker and handed it to He Min.

"Thank you."

"Has your mission expired?"

He Min shook his head. They were all specially trained 3rd Military Section personnel, and they were mutants with A-rank or above. The general mission period was 10 years. After 10 years, they could return to Bright City, and no need work, pensioned by Congress.

Gene could see that He Min was tired. This dark place was filled with the darkest part of human nature, and violence was part of life here.

"It's only been 4 years. The last time you came here, Lord Gene, I remember it was two years ago."

Jean patted He Min on the shoulder.

"Take me to the town of the largest armed force nearby."

He Min was shocked.

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

But He Min soon realized that, she lowered her head silently, and walked with Gene after a slight tap.

A frolic sounded, accompanied by a woman's scolding.

"You little bastards, hurry up and help the old lady, you don't want to live anymore?"

I have come to the living area of ​​the residents of the barrier area. They can only live in the houses that humans once used to live. Many of these houses have long since collapsed. The streets look quite lively. People wearing thick and shabby clothes , gathered here in twos and threes, many of them elderly.

Several children were playing happily around a rusty bicycle, while the fat woman who was doing laundry beside them scolded the group of children furiously.

"Bah, if you're immortal, we won't go!"

One of the older children retorted, which soon made the people next to him burst into laughter, but now everyone on this dilapidated street looked at Gene and He Min, and some of the young and strong men looked at It was He Min behind Gene.

"Yo woman, did you two have no food to eat? The women over there come over and let me have a good time. I will reward you with a meal."

After a while, the people who were joking around gathered around. Some guys carried weapons with them. The children who were still playing also started joking with the adults. Gene stared coldly around.

The atmosphere froze for a while, and many men here were staring at He Min, Gene pulled out a cigarette, and then one of the men with a knife rushed up.

The smoke was burning violently, and the moment Gene exhaled a breath of smoke, the person had disappeared, and everyone looked at it in astonishment, but the man who rushed up first fell to the ground, and Gene held a a finger.

Immediately, the scene became chaotic. However, as Gene shuttled through the chaotic crowd, after one person stunned him with his finger, the surging crowd gradually quieted down. Gene took He Min and walked away. The people behind them who didn't faint began to take advantage of the fire, scavenging for everything available on the fainted person, not even a pair of underwear.

This town is given to a group ruler called the Zombie Club. The number is nearly 3000, and there are 76 mutants. The leader of the group, Zhang Wang, has the level of A-level mutants.

Gene and He Min quickly shuttled through the deserted alley block, avoiding the main street as much as possible. Gradually, the two stopped. In an abandoned factory, the meeting was in full swing, with a large number of people wearing different colors of clothes. People gathered together to talk and laugh. A black flag was fluttering at the top of the factory. The black background, the pattern was hideous zombies, and the exposed arms of these people were tattooed with zombie patterns.

Most of them are young people, and some old people are serving as waiters for these young people. The factory has been remodeled, and the pillars on both sides of the gate have been raised to make sentry towers with searchlights on them.

"Lord Jean, are you going to kill them all?"

He Min asked, and Gene shook his head.

"You find a place to hide, and I'll go alone."

Gene slowly walked out of the dilapidated building corridor and walked to the factory. Some young people would find Gene and stop him immediately.

"Boy, I haven't seen you before, take off your veil."

"Call your boss out."

Immediately, a lot of people gathered around. Gene was motionless, and a burly guy pushed and shoved, but he found that he couldn't push Gene, and there was laughter from the side.

With a bang, Jean raised a finger, and the sturdy guy in front of him flew more than ten meters away and fell to the ground unconscious, and the scene became chaotic in an instant.

Genn walked softly and dexterously in the attack, knocking down one after another zombie group, and gradually some guys exclaimed, because seeing the mutants were all knocked down with one blow, the searchlight on the tower instantly The lights came on, and the bell rang.

With a bang, Gene kicked the door open, pinched a person's neck with one hand and fell to the side. Hundreds of people had already fallen behind him. Some people with weapons watched in shock and did not dare to come over.

There was a creaking sound, and a mutant appeared in front of him. His body became like the surface of a rock. The man had already rushed over. After Gene avoided easily, an accurate hand knife was cut on the neck of the mutant. , With a click, the mutant man's nose blood spurted out and fell to the ground, and the ground sank with a bang.

"Death to him."

A guy shouted and came out of the door with an RPG, intending to fire, but was quickly held down by a pair of old hands.

"Gene, why are you bastard here again, are you planning to kill us?"

A man with large and small pustules on his face came out, limping, everyone moved away, he was Zhang Wang.

"If I really have the heart to kill you, it will only take one minute before there will be any more voices here."

"It's all gone to Lao Tzu."

Zhang Wang shouted, and many people around were muttering, Gene from Section 13.

Soon Gene followed Zhang Wang to a large room that was slightly furnished on the second floor of the factory. All the cadres of the Zombie Society were there, and they stared at Gene with hostility.

"I didn't expect you to build your own group in just two years."

Gene said, took out a cigarette and handed it over, Zhang Wang smiled, showing his dark teeth.

"Hmph, it's not by killing it."

Zhang Wang took off his coat, revealing countless wounds on his body.

"Long story short, you help me call all the armed bosses in the west. You should have this strength now!"

Zhang Wang snorted coldly.

"There's something big going on in the city, Gene, hehe, you guy, you should have seen how the situation on our side is going? Don't you feel that your conscience will hurt as a human being? Not only are you not thinking about how to solve the fortress area now. Question, are you going to kill us? Gene, you're a real bastard, that's what I thought two years ago."

Gene smiled and took a breath.

"I'm just here to negotiate, and I will call all the forces in the four regions for an interview, and your misery is of your own making, no matter how miserable it is, this is not the reason why you live under the sun to hurt others and get nothing for nothing. , the useless scum can only be excluded."

Zhang Wang looked at Ji En angrily, someone couldn't help it anymore, and was about to rush over, Zhang Wang raised a hand.

"There's nothing to talk about with someone as cold-blooded as a machine like you, I'll make an appointment for you, but"

"Tomorrow, people from Section 3 will send a certain amount of food, water and medicine."

Zhang Wang raised a hand and laughed again.

"make a deal."

Gene shook it.
