Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 1716 The Opener
"Can you really give us something to eat?"

8pm

In a camp consisting of a large number of military trucks located next to the Weeping Bridge outside the southern security station, many yellow-faced, skinny, unkempt men and women, as well as some children, were waiting.

At the door of a consultation room, many people lined up in a long queue, waiting for their physical examinations. Some children needed vaccinations. Many criminals came here every day.

"If you have weapons, you can hand them over in exchange for extra food and water."

A team leader from Section 3 explained to the criminals who came to collect the food that several tightly packed criminals looked serious at this time, but the team leader did not ask them to hand over their weapons afterwards. thing.

Many people were waiting to receive food and water. The staff of the administrative department waited to remember everyone's situation. At first, many people were repelled, but it was just a simple registration of name, age and gender. After that, everyone A special electronic inkjet code will be stamped on each arm, and this biological inkjet code will completely disappear and be excreted from the body within a month.

This is to prevent people from receiving food repeatedly, with a cycle of 30 days a month, these people can come back to receive food again after 30 days, 60 cans of liquid food, and 30 kilograms of water.

And if a criminal is willing to admit his crime, he can go back to the city, but he needs to work in the agricultural base for a corresponding number of years according to the crime he committed before he can be free. Many criminals have already applied for Yes, but most of them are light criminals, and those serious criminals don't have anyone to apply.

There are small distribution stations outside the four security stations. People who come here can receive food for a month, including medical examinations by doctors, and some medicines, but many medicines have never appeared on the market.

Such things have begun to spread in the city, and many people are also criticizing the practice of Section 3, which is tantamount to indulging those criminals, and some even say that these criminals will become a threat to the city in the future, but such arguments are only a minority, because Many people don't care much about the barrier area and the 3rd division.

In the consulting room, there were not only doctors from the 4th department, but also many doctors from medical enterprises in the city.

Several staff members of Section 3 who were patrolling nearby looked at everything in the house, as well as some conversations among the doctors, including the medicines that were distributed. Many staff members had never seen these medicines. It should be some kind of New medicine, but why it is not sold on the market.

And the conversations between many doctors also made many staff members of the three departments feel puzzled, because doctors usually say something accurately when seeing a doctor, but now what the doctors say to these patients is Blurred, as well as some symptoms that may occur after taking the medicine, are also clearly written on the light and shadow panel, and the paper is printed out with the Gula printer technology on the side, and given to some patients, and it will be confirmed whether some patients are literate, For problems such as vision, make clear text descriptions or picture descriptions for them.

The progress of the entire consulting room is very slow, and some patients have been waiting here for more than a day.

At this time, a televised election meeting of councilors is going on in the city. At the beginning of every year, there will be a campaign for the election of councilors in the region. In August, the election of councilors will be held.

Generally, the term of office of a council member is 3 years, and within 3 years, if there is a problem with the affairs taken over during the term of office, the term of office is likely to be terminated. The affairs done by each councilor are judged and reviewed by the other 9 councilors of the local district power office. Members Internally we conduct this kind of cross-review, and most of the councilors can spend their three-year term in peace, but if the people in the area are dissatisfied, they can initiate impeachment, and the administrative department will directly come in to punish the councilor in the area. Review what you do.

Once any problems arise during the review, the councilor will be arrested and punished according to the situation. Most of the district councilors belong to different factions, so it is difficult to cooperate with each other in private.

The eight major associations will also review the members of the district power office's own faction from time to time. The annual election of members is basically the same. Many people just vote. The two votes per year are related to the appointment of district councilors and the reserve of the district power office. Members are eligible.

And in order to let some people who don't care who is the member of parliament participate in voting, votes in each district will be counted as points, and these points can be used for medical treatment, payment of utility bills, and certain commercial activities. Both are quite high, which is equivalent to a special welfare in the region.

Freya sat quietly in front of the table, and the people sitting below were all members of the medical faction, many of them had happy faces, and Yuli sat at the front with great excitement.

This is just a cutscene election, the host is still announcing the number of votes in District 1, and Freya has already accounted for more than 90% of the votes.

The voices criticizing Freya for the failure of the reform of the medical system in the past year have gradually subsided in the chaos of the medical market in the past few months, and many people have realized that this is not the reason for the failure of the medical reform. , as the destructive review of the entire medical industry led by Chief Alpha of the 5th Public Security Management Section advances, all kinds of ugliness in the medical system surfaced.

The businessmen of medical companies have been slammed by people in the city, and the supervision system of the 4th department is the same. In the past few months, due to the shortage of supplies in the medical industry, the price of medical treatment has been three to five times that of the past.

No matter how the administrative department controls prices, there is still no way to go against the principles of the market. It is not difficult to see from the financial statements of the temporary medical industry of the Angus family in the past few months. Basically, the Angus family has not made any money. In less than half a year, the supply of the entire city's medical industry was supported, and the actual profit was less than 100 million.

Now that the medical industry has resumed work in an all-round way, as Freya decided to continue to run for parliament, many people began to talk about Freya's good time as the president of the medical association.

Someone had to clean up this mess, and the merchants fell silent, as did the members of the medical faction, because the only person who could clean up these messes was Freya.

The back row was full of businessmen from the medical industry, and everyone was looking at Freya. If Freya hadn’t negotiated terms with the administrative department last month, most of the medical businessmen would have been unable to hold on. up.

Now the pharmaceutical industry is recovering slowly in an all-round way. It still follows the original review system, but some changes have been made in the rules.

Freya just wanted to end this boring TV show quickly, and then go back home. During this time, Freya felt very tired, and returned to the field of power competition, but this time was different from the last time, the city Things have changed and times have changed.

Freya felt uneasy at this time. The biggest problem in the medical industry is that the number of new drugs developed in these years is too small. This is the most fundamental problem. The disease caused by the imbalance of microorganisms in the human body cannot Some drugs have little medical effect because these microorganisms are becoming more and more drug-resistant.

In the past 10 years, a total of 139 new drugs have appeared, 87 of which were developed by Huashen. There is only one such person in the city.

Most of the clinical trials of drugs recruit experimenters and use some mutants with strong physical conditions. However, although the effects of most drugs on the human body can be determined by using mutants, they must be used on ordinary people. Dosage adjustments , and the impact on the human body as a whole is also a problem.

In recent years, most of Huashen's energy has been devoted to the research and development of drugs that can suppress the berserk gene of mutants. In the past three years, less than 10 new drugs have been developed, and the research and development of drugs has almost come to a standstill.

Because there is no way to conduct large-scale drug experiments, there is no way to obtain drug data, and the development of many drugs even stopped after failing in some clinical trials.

In the past, the Hillman family had the strongest ability to develop drugs, but Hillman Pharmaceutical no longer exists. In the past ten years, Hillman only developed 21 new drugs.

Times are changing, human beings are also changing, and the research and development of drugs is already at the most difficult moment.

Before, Freya had been thinking about how to negotiate terms with the Department of Operations, but after learning about the actions of the 3rd Division after the attack on the agricultural experiment base last month, Freya immediately thought of how to save the city The medical industry in the city, how to save more patients that may appear in the future, and how to maintain the continuous, stable and efficient development of medical technology in the medical industry in the city.

The technology of light and shadow surgery that Huashen mentioned will take a lot of time to develop, and the problem of medicine is a big problem that affects everyone in the city. If it is not solved effectively, the future chaos in the medical industry will only Repeat the same mistakes.

Freya is really unwilling to make such a decision. The most critical part of the drug is the clinical trial, and the condition that needs to be met in the clinical trial is a large number of patients. If some new drugs are used for ordinary people, it will cause harm to the body and The risk of R&D costs is very high.

Only the barrier area can meet all the conditions for drug development. This is Freya's first reaction after learning about the actions of the 3rd department. Freya has been thinking about this problem for a week, and she has been thinking about it every day, but no matter how she thinks about it The only way to make the medical industry develop healthily and smoothly, to make the price and coverage of medical expenses satisfy the whole city, and to continue for a long time is to launch large-scale drug experiments in barrier areas.

This is already helpless, if the criminals wandering in the barrier area have any value, this may be the last trace of their remaining value.

It is extremely difficult to make such a decision. Freya once again stood under the choice between the majority and the minority, but in any case, from the facts at hand, from the impact on the future, and from the perspective of the medical industry as a whole , this approach is correct.

"enough!"

Freya listened to the host who was still talking, and suddenly stood up.

"This is not an entertainment show!"

The moment Freya stood up, the host shut up, and many media people at the scene also felt frightened. Seeing the angry expression on the face of the Queen of Bright City at this time, the scene fell silent.

"Don't engage in such entertainment programs in the future, you bastards!"

Freya cursed, and the members below looked at each other in dismay. Several members hurriedly got up and found the person in charge of the TV station. No matter what reason they used to end the TV show, Freya got up and walked.

"Finally, I want to warn you all, please be serious and consider this issue carefully. This is not a joke, let alone"

Freya didn't go on talking, and the councilors got up and followed. Now they need to listen to Freya's specific arrangements, and the expressions of each councilor became serious, while many businessmen from medical companies smiled happily. up.

"As expected of a queen, she is really courageous."

"I can think of a bright future for us in the future."

"Damn the Hillman family."

The merchants all praised Freya for her kindness, but they didn't even remember that they were planning to push Freya down a few months ago.

Merchants only need to bear all the expenses of the criminals in the barrier area, and the so-called expenses are only water and food, and when the food is distributed every month to treat people in the barrier area, it is the time for the distribution of new drugs, and The time to obtain specific new drug data.

Freya was walking in the long corridor, and the members of parliament behind her followed unhurriedly. At this time, Freya was extremely tormented in her heart. She knew very well that such an approach violated human morality. What hurts her heart at this time is that many people don't think there is any problem with this approach at all, but it is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

Giving a little food and water to the wandering criminals in the barrier area can bring a bright and dazzling future to the entire medical industry. , This is just an investment for most businessmen.

At the door of the room in front of me, Michelle was waiting. Freya walked over and hugged her daughter. Michelle saw the tears overflowing from the corner of Freya's eyes, and looked at her mother's expression in surprise. Full of sadness, and the people who followed behind were all smiling.

"Mom, what's wrong with you!"

Freya hugged Michelle tightly, she was still trying to adjust her emotions.

"Mom made the hardest and most shameless decision of a human being!"

Michelle looked at her mother who had stood up, and she had returned to her usual coldness. She looked at several female congressmen who were talking to her, and then glanced at her mother.

"Remember Michelle, in the future, only when you stand in the right position can you do the right thing and have the right to decide everything!"

10:13pm

A large landing plane landed in front of Agata silently. She stood up and watched as the hatch of the landing plane opened little by little. The equipment came down from the elevator.

Agata walked over step by step, raised one hand and stretched out his thumb to point to the secret passage. At this time, several people at the entrance of the passage tremblingly looked at the scene in front of them, as if seeing the sudden hope. As time fell, some mutants of the Hillman family were carrying supplies, distributing some liquid food to these people who were about to starve to death.

After Agata walked in, Ran Zhi sat in front of a large hood in the corner of the shelf of the large lift.

"It's almost fast, right Agata."

Agata walked over step by step, and lifted the big cover on the table. There was a table of vegetables and wine. She picked up a chicken leg and ate it voraciously, including the bones. Ran Zhi was drinking.

After coming out of the secret tunnel near the Black Mountain, it only took a short one or two hours to come out, because in many nearby mines that have stopped mining, there are some reserves of the Hillman family, and they want to transport them. Some supplies come out very quickly.

Looking at Agata's empty arms, Ran Zhi asked with a smile.

"Need a robotic arm?"

"No need, you bastard."

Ran Zhi nodded, Agata seemed to be a little full, unscrewed a bottle of wine and began to drink.

"The administrative department or God did not expect that there would be a ventilation pipe in this cave base. If there was no ventilation pipe, the people inside would die of lack of oxygen in at most three or four days, but they lasted for a whole month. in the dark."

"It's all thanks to you."

Agata said, Ran Zhi shook his head.

"Is it really thanks to me?"

Agata looked at Ran Zhi wholeheartedly, she walked up to Ran Zhi and grabbed his collar.

"I'm going to kill you, me"

Ran Zhi laughed.

"So what if you kill me? Has the problem been solved?"

Agata looked at Ran Zhi emotionally, but the strength in her hands was weaker at this time. There had been a lot of friction among the 16 bosses. Everything, but because of the planning of the wise, they can only check and balance each other.

The time when the balance was really broken was during the raid on the Experimental Base of the Operations Department. After returning, Agata thought she would calm down for a few days, but the result was worse than she expected, and the actions of the Operations Department were even worse. The unexpected, and the coming of God.

"There is no safe place in this land, you should have known that early on, but why are you struggling?"

Ran Zhi asked, Agata let go, kicked the chair angrily, and took a sip from the wine bottle.

Ran Zhi looked at the angry woman in front of him, and he shook his head.

"No matter how you think about it, once you set foot on this land, there is no turning back! So I have a proposal, what do you think?"

Ran Zhi said, Agata said with a sneer.

"I want to come again."

"I was serious!"

Agata helped the chair up, and after sitting down, Ran Zhi called out a light and shadow screen, which showed what was happening in the city today.

"Hahaha!"

Agata laughed, and there was a hint of sadness and bitterness in the laughter.

"Even the last sliver of our value should be used? Don't these guys have even a little bit of it in their hearts?"

"You should never argue with vested interests and hypocrites. This is the only value here, and the only reason you can survive."

Agata clenched her fists tightly. What she saw was that people from Section 3 were distributing water and food. At first, Agata thought it was a joke, but after grabbing some food from some criminals, Agata Only then did I know that this was true, but what Ran Zhi showed Agata now was a new drug experiment developed by a medical company in the city, and all the wandering criminals in the barrier area became the subjects of the experiment.

Agata looked at everything on the light and shadow screen angrily, and Ran Zhi nodded with a smile.

"The administrative department will not do anything to the barrier area now, all thanks to the initiator of this plan, Freya."

Agata's clenched fists became tighter and tighter, and there was a crisp rubbing sound of bones.

Ran Zhi stood up, walked in front of Agata, and stretched out his hand again.

"No matter how resentful or angry you are, you have no ability to change what has happened. The only thing you can do is to lead the people here to live freely on this land. There are a lot of ore resources in the mountains, I think you can live on."

Agata shook her head.

"Then use us as pawns to contain the city, right?"

Ran Zhi nodded.

"What's wrong with this, at least you can have the opportunity to realize your own value."

"Is it your own value? Hehe."

Agata turned and walked away, Ran Zhi said with a smile while holding his wine glass.

"You should know better than anyone else that everything here and why you are here is not what you want, isn't it?"

"Who wants to be in this kind of place, who wants to go"

Agata pressed her forehead, walked out step by step, looked at everything outside Agata laughed, she looked at the circle of bright white light in the distance, and shook her head.

"Never go back."

Agata closed her eyes, and in her mind was the muddy street that she grew up in when she was a child. This is the most beautiful place in Agata's memory, the dirty street where fights often occurred, although From time to time, I may still be hungry, but at that time, I was actually very happy.

Before leaving the city, Agata went back once, and everything in the past has long since disappeared, leaving only tall houses and renovated streets.

"It's time to make a choice."

Ran Zhi reminded, Agata nodded.

"We need some mining equipment."

Agata said, Ran Zhi nodded.

"These things will be delivered."

Night is the time when most people in the barrier area are active, because the wind and sand at night are relatively small, and it is more convenient to move around, but recently many people feel that the temperature at night is getting lower and lower.

It's just that most of the people are gathered outside the four guard stations at this time, hoping to get a month's worth of food and water, as well as some medicines, and return to their place of residence.

No one is willing to surrender. Many people are used to living in this land. Although they may be threatened with violence and death here, they don’t need to think about anything and just go on day by day. This is what many people want idea.

"We may have done something bad! But we may have been right."

"Who knows, no matter what you think, things have become like this, no matter what we have opened, only the future can test the results."

Osman hugged his wife Zijuan, and the two stood on the city wall of the eastern defense station, looking at the light and shadow screen, the officers who were busy outside the barrier, and many officers who went out to serve, could enjoy a bonus The bonus, the money is issued by medical companies, including some financial assistance to the 3 departments, and has recently entered the 3 departments one after another.

Osman doesn't know what the gods think, but now he can only continue like this. He plans to form a special monitoring team in the barrier area to learn everything about the barrier area. Many people have already signed up to participate.

"It's like a decision you'd make."

Zijuan stroked her stomach while talking, Osman nodded with a smile.

"I don't know what started it, but this is the most correct decision I can make as a father who is about to become a child. Either choose to ignore everything, or choose to face everything squarely."

Zijuan is very clear that these two completely different attitudes will determine the future fate of the city. Now the city is facing the most serious problem in history, and the conflict between mutants and ordinary people has intensified.

The 3rd University of Science and Technology has dispatched many people to the area to assist the 5th Division to maintain law and order, and the current situation of the 5th Division is also worrying Osman, the work efficiency is not as good as before, and the most important thing is Alpha. Resisting the huge political system of the Administrative Department.

This is the most intuitive feeling that Osman has seen Alpha many times recently, and it all started after Gene left.

Osman himself also has doubts about this huge political system, so he is very clear that Alpha is thinking about the same problem as himself, whether to ignore or face it squarely.

"In the past, we always felt that we could show our talents and manage the city as beautifully as we discussed in class in the past. Unfortunately, the reality is always cruel. We have to make choices constantly, between the majority and the minority. position."

As Zijuan said, Osman nodded.

"Everyone is very tired. They all know where the problem is, but it is difficult to solve it."

Osman said with a helpless smile.

"Our child will be born next month. We will leave these problems to our children. I still say Osman. The only thing we can do is to protect the foundation of this city and make everything stable. It's the only thing we can do, and the only way we can start the next era."

"Will it really get better in the next era?"

Osman asked, Zijuan leaned on Osman's arm and shook her head.

"You have to ask the child in your belly!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, bowing their heads.
