Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 1743 The Edge of Collapse: Blood and Sand 3

November 2224, 5 14:0

A lift slowly landed on the open space in the courtyard of the Frye Mental Hospital, and the surrounding area was brightly lit, which had never happened in the past few decades.

A large number of reporters were on the opposite side of the street, and many reporters had received the news that at 0 o'clock today, officials from the Operations Section would hold Secretary Jill's funeral here.

The cause of Jill's death was also announced. Because he had been exposed to a large number of berserk mutants for too long, his own berserk alienation gene was triggered, which eventually led to his death.

The reporters all wanted to enter the Frye Mental Hospital, but they were blocked by the staff of the 5th department outside. Yesterday, some major incidents happened one after another in the administrative department. Now nearly 30 people are displaced in the north. They live in some resettlement sites set up in the three districts where the headquarters of the department is located.

According to the latest news, more than 5 directors of the administrative department have submitted their resignations. Except for the 11 directors of the [-] departments who have passed the approval, the chiefs of other departments have not approved these directors who submitted their resignations.

This kind of situation is unprecedented, and as the night approaches, some things have been exposed to varying degrees. These resigned directors have been at odds with Alpha for a long time, and even the other chiefs and secretaries of the entire administrative department have incidents with Alpha. Had some conflicts at work.

There are rumors that Alpha promoted a person with incompetence so quickly because he wanted to consolidate his position in the administrative department. The interior of the administrative department has already begun to be filled with smoke, and Alpha's dominant power has been suppressed in many ways. Finally, he finally took advantage of this incident to seize the core rights of the administrative department.

There are different opinions. What happened in the administrative department has become a topic of discussion among most people in the city. It has completely overshadowed the disasters that happened during the day today. Some people even gloated about the serious disasters that happened during the day, because most of the people who died were They are mutants, and although ordinary people have casualties, most of them are from the north.

Because the construction of Angus started in the north, most of the locals in the north united and did not allow people from other areas to settle in and do business. In addition, the impression of the northerners was vulgar and old-fashioned from a long time ago. Some mutants were concentrated in the north again, so many people were not worried that such a large-scale incident would happen where they lived.

Today, with the large-scale rampage of mutants in the north, there are also some incidents of mutants rampaging in other regions, but they are too inconspicuous compared with the events in the north.

And this is also an important basis for the 4 subjects to come to the conclusion that there is a mutation cycle in the alienated genome of mutants based on the past data and the problems that have occurred today.

Conspiracy theories also began to appear. Some people suspected that the Congress had known for a long time that there might be a large-scale mutant runaway, so they concentrated the mutants in the north in advance, but the rumormongers were quickly caught. Such conspiracy theories It also came to an abrupt end.

At this time, a car slowly drove over on the street, and a large number of reporters rushed up, including members of parliament, members of the eight major factions, and the long motorcade stopped on the street at the main entrance of Frye Hospital. The congressmen got off the car one by one, and the reporters pushed and shoved behind the human wall formed by the administrative department, holding up the microphones and constantly asking the congressmen who got off the car questions.

Some councilors would respond in the past, while some directly entered the hospital. All the councilors were holding white flowers in their hands. The funeral had already begun, and the councilors lined up to enter the Fry mental hospital.

As soon as you enter, you can see that the directors of the administrative department are standing on both sides. After seeing the congressmen coming in, they all bowed in gratitude. The main entrance of the main building connected to the large cemetery behind the hospital has been covered with white Decorated with flowers.

I don’t know when it started, the huge backyard land of Frye Mental Hospital has become a burial place. Many people who don’t have land to bury their loved ones and don’t want to hand over their relatives’ ashes to the funeral home will send their ashes and bury them behind the hospital. Nearly 5 square kilometers of land.

Through the passage connecting the main building to the backyard, you can see the vast cemetery in front of you. Black columns are randomly inserted in the cemetery. At the end of a stone road more than 500 meters away from the main building, a pit has been dug out. The room was filled with flowers, and the section chiefs and secretaries of the administrative department stood nearby, standing respectfully.

As the first member of parliament to arrive, Wu Qun glanced at the section chiefs and secretaries on both sides. Everyone bowed slightly. Wu Qun put down the white flowers in his hand, and then grabbed a handful of soil next to him. She sprinkled it in, then closed her eyes silently, and formally bowed.

Julia, the secretary of Section 1 on the right, immediately made a gesture of please. Wu Qun nodded slightly and passed by the stone road on the right. When he came in, Wu Qun saw 5 directors of Section 11 standing on the edge of the cemetery, wearing black suits. They did not wear uniforms, because they all resigned yesterday, and Section 5 Chief Alpha approved their resignation .

Wu Qun also saw Hui Te, the principal of Shengde Women's College, and Xue Wang, the principal of All Fields College, standing by the cemetery behind the hospital where he was about to turn back, holding a bag of white flowers in their hands After Wu Qun walked over, Whit handed over a white corsage, Wu Qun took it and put it on his chest, and then walked to the front yard of the hospital, where some drinks and food were placed, to attend the funeral People can take a little rest.

Today at 8 o'clock in the evening, the temporary city meeting will start, and on this occasion, the administrative department and the councilors can also talk a little bit, in order to come up with a solution. After all, there are 30 homeless people in the north returnees, and the rebuilding of the north is no small matter.

Wu Qun was the first to come to the table and chairs that had been placed in the open space on the left side directly opposite the hospital. He took a bottle of wine, opened it and poured himself a glass. Members of Parliament will come to attend the funeral tonight.

This funeral was the most grand personal funeral in the city. At this time, Wu Qun saw Freya who was escorted in by the escorts, as well as some family businessmen, and many ordinary businessmen would also come.

The long line was still moving slowly, Wu Qun smiled bitterly, he probably knew that Alpha would not come over now, and would be the last one to come after everyone left.

Wu Qun, who was drinking at this moment, stood up suddenly, and looked at a couple of businessmen who came in with some surprise, Wu Qun suddenly thought of two people in his mind, Wu Qun stood up and walked over quickly .

"Two! Have we met somewhere?"

For a while, the husband and wife looked at Wu Qun in surprise, but the husband spoke first.

"It should be from the Hillman family, Councilor Wu Qun."

The wife lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look at Wu Qun, then the husband bowed slightly and walked away with his wife.

"Hey, tell me, who are these two?"

Wu Qun asked a council officer who used to eat at his restaurant, and the other party quickly called up the information. The man was named Lauren, and the woman was named Lu Fang. They used to be members of the Hillman family. After being kicked out of the family, the husband and wife started from scratch and now run a children's clothing company.

Wu Qun looked at the two people walking slowly in the queue, and always felt that they knew each other, but he couldn't remember where he met them. When he saw the couple for the first time, Wu Qun thought that they were already dead. Feite and Gu Lin, especially the woman named Lu Fang, had exactly the same eyes as Gu Lin, only with a different appearance.

Wu Qun was still looking at the two of them. In his memory, the two couples had indeed died in an accident. Wu Qun even went to the hospital to see their grooming, and then attended their funeral.

"What the hell am I thinking!"

Wu Qun turned around and walked towards the table. At this time, many people came out. Wu Qun was holding a glass of wine and sat at a table with several congressmen. This was the most unique funeral Wu Qun had ever attended.

At this time, Fei Te, who was in the queue, felt that his wife Gu Lin next to him was very nervous. He smiled at her and shook his head. Gu Lin also nodded. It is not easy to live in the sun now, but The moment she saw Wu Qun, Gu Lin really wanted to talk to Wu Qun. Although she didn't know why, it was obviously impossible.

Her husband has completely changed recently. Gu Lin probably knows what her husband has done, and also knows that he probably assisted the Hillman family in a cruel research, and finally let the two of them obtain the right to live in the sun, but They are already dead, and their identities have been replaced by others.

Except for the high-level executives and members of the administrative department who came here today, most of the other businessmen who came here have had contact with Jill. The same is true for Lauren and his wife Lu Fang in their original identities. They have received Jill's help in the past , after they were ruthlessly kicked out by the Hillman family, it was Jill who helped the couple.

"Why doesn't Alpha come here?"

After Whit distributed a corsage to a congressman who had just walked over with flowers, he opened his mouth and said, King Xue made a hissing gesture and shook his head.

"Don't show off."

Whit wanted to persuade Alpha to take back her order. Although she knew what Alpha wanted to do, doing so at a time like this would only make the internal affairs department more divided.

"I think even if you take the initiative to talk to the president, it won't change anything. This time I'm on the president's side."

Whit looked at King Xue in surprise, which Whit didn't expect.

"I think the chairman will explain the specific things at the city meeting tomorrow night. The current administrative department is terrible."

King Xue said with a smile, in the eyes of King Xue, after so many years, the administrative department has gone from high efficiency at the beginning to being idle now. This is not what Xue Wang wants to see. Many things have deteriorated. If it continues, the administrative department will will become more and more dangerous.

"It's surprising why you think that way!"

Xue Wang bowed slightly without saying a word, and handed the white corsage in his hand to Freya who came over.

"Ms. Freya, do you want to send Michelle here?"

King Xue asked, and Freya shook her head. She walked towards several escorts who were waiting, and then laughed.

"The contradiction has become irreconcilable, and the next will be the most difficult time for Bright City!"

King Xue nodded and watched Freya go away. He looked up at the sky and took off his glasses sadly. At the scene of the incident, Mo Xiaolan checked some of the environment where Jill was. It was severely damaged, but it can be seen that there were traces of fighting at the scene, which is very suspicious.

But Mo Xiaolan didn't say anything at that time, Xue Wang probably guessed what Mo Xiaolan would say, because Jill was the only one who had a problem in the senior management of the administrative department. According to the calculation of probability, the probability of Jill having a problem is very high. Low, but it could also have something to do with this top-secret program that Jill recently spearheaded.

Mo Xiaolan will complete the follow-up investigation by himself. At this moment, King Xue saw Eddie Hillman coming in. He was holding flowers with a sad face, and was slowly marching in the team.

King Xue's gaze has been following Eddie, and he has never moved away. King Xue is very clear that no matter what the Hillman family has done, or what they want to do next, the gods will not deal with them in advance, because the city Still need to continue to develop.

"Do you think it's possible they did it?"

Xue Wang whispered and asked, Whit looked at Eddie with a complicated expression, and shook his head.

"I'm not sure."

There were bursts of whispers in the prepared rest area, and many councilors and businessmen sat in a pile, and everyone was talking about today's incident.

"I don't know what you're thinking!"

As Wu Qun said, Chen Qiao beside him laughed.

"Old Wu, our Chen family has suffered an unprecedented loss this time, can't we?"

Wu Qun put down his wine glass, stood up, turned around and walked towards the gate.

"Old Wu, let's chat for a while, we think"

Wu Qun smiled and shook his head.

"I'm going back, I'm here today."

Distrust has begun to erupt among the businessmen and members of parliament. Of course, Wu Qun knew what the businessmen were doing secretly behind their backs. Wu Qun received the news this afternoon. The Chen family, the Huo Sen family, the Jiang family and the Wang family The four major families have already planned to join forces with the Hillman family.

The alliance of the five major families is the last thing Wu Qun wants to see and face, but now it is happening quietly behind the scenes, and no one can do anything and no one can say anything. After all, the overall interests of the businessmen are in the The northern disaster event has indeed been damaged, and the merchants have begun to resist.

As soon as we got back to the street, the reporters rushed up again. The people from Section 5 didn't even stop the reporters, they surrounded Wu Qun. He replied with a relaxed manner, but Wu Qun's heart was not relaxed.

After dealing with the reporters, Wu Qun got into the car. He was a little drunk, but he still took out the wine in the wine cabinet in front of him and drank it alone. The speed of the car was very slow. What does the failure mean, capital will once again start to get out of hand.

In recent years, Wu Qun has always had a feeling that when things are about to get better, they will suddenly get worse. It’s not just once or twice. Wu Qun doesn’t know what’s going on. Dee was manipulating everything, but thinking about it now, even if Eddie was very smart, he couldn't control everything precisely.

Wu Qun has never rejected the ridiculous nonsense in his mind, and he can only pin his hopes on Alpha for the next step. If Alpha still cannot reverse the crisis of the city, then the city will usher in collapse.

"What are you thinking! Alpha."

The presidents of the eight major associations did not sit for too long, and went back after attending the funeral briefly, because everyone knew that no matter how they talked, it was useless, and some councilors also left early because of disagreements with some businessmen .

People from the administrative department were not present at all, and many people who wanted to sit down and have a drink also left in a hurry. The funeral lasted until 2 o'clock in the morning and ended.

The streets were still brightly lit, but at this time there were not many people in Fry Jingsheng Hospital, and some people from the administrative department also began to leave gradually.

The black soil had already filled the pit where Jill was buried. Duan Kong squatted on the soil, sprinkled the last soil on it, and patted it with his hands.

"How about we have a drink"

Before the empty talk was finished, I noticed that the section chief and secretaries had left in twos and threes. Julia, who was next to her, still had tears in her eyes. She was blowing her nose and choking in her throat.

Duan Kong’s eyelids were trembling slightly, it was such a terrible feeling, soon Duan Kong saw the take-off and landing planes of the 6, 7, and 9 departments taking off, Duan Kong got up and wanted to keep the people who hadn’t left yet. But when they came to the yard, it was already quite empty, only Huashen and Frye were cleaning up in the empty rest area.

Everyone looked a little absent-minded, as if they wanted to leave.

"Xiaoxuan, wait"

Duan Kong chased after him, but Qin Xiaoxuan ignored him. Instead, she walked out of the hospital gate, quickly jumped onto the roof, and disappeared into the dark night sky.

"What the hell is going on, everyone!"

Duan Kong sat weakly on the steps, and Julia sat next to him, watching the classmates leave one by one, most of them had stopped talking, Duan Kong only felt the pain in his heart, so The pain must be something that everyone has at this moment.

"Why can't we just sit down and talk about it!"

Duan Kong stood up and shouted, but it still had no effect, people were still leaving, and many people left here as if they were fleeing.

This feeling of heartache and helplessness filled Duan Kong's body. Julia got up and walked. Duan Kong walked over and wanted to hold her, but soon Julia turned her head.

"I want to be alone for a while."

"This is reality!"

Duan Kong turned his head following the sad female voice, and saw Ling Hong leaning on the edge of a flower bed, she looked a little drunk.

Afterwards, Duan Kong joined Frye and Huashen in cleaning up. Ling Hong smoked one cigarette after another, as if she was waiting for someone, always looking up at the sky.

Until 3 o'clock in the morning, the three of them finished clearing most of the tables and chairs, and the Frye Mental Hospital was almost empty, the people on the street also dispersed, and the lights outside were also turned off.

嗖

Accompanied by a voice, Ling Hong opened her eyes, staring angrily at Alpha who came in from the courtyard wall.

"Sorry, something happened, I'm late."

Ling Hong walked over quickly and grabbed Alpha by the collar.

"Are you late? Are you really late? What are you thinking? There is no need to make our relationship so stiff, Alpha!"

Alpha pushed Ling Hong's hand away, staring at Ling Hong sharply.

"I won't stop, it's true that I didn't consider everyone's feelings, but"

Alpha didn't continue, but took a step forward, but in the next second, Alpha stretched out his left hand and held down Ling Hong's knee that was suddenly kicked up. A violent red lightning flashed, and Alpha slid backwards. In the past, then fell to the ground.

Ling Hong is very clear, clearer than anyone else, that what Alpha did is right, it has been the same for all these years, it is the other students in the administrative department who have deteriorated, everyone has been too loose in these years, and Ling Hong herself knows , since the end of the march in the barrier area, there has been a change in my heart.

Treating the work at hand, and even many things in the 3rd department, has become much looser, and I have not even returned to work in the 3rd department for a long time. Obviously everyone has seen the problem and clearly can see it, but many times people prefer to choose Turn a blind eye.

"Sister, wait for me!"

A voice sounded, and Niya jumped off the courtyard wall, and as soon as she landed, she saw the furious Ling Hong rushing towards her.

"Alpha, is it really necessary to do this step!"

Ling Hong asked angrily, Alpha did not answer, but dodged Ling Hong's fist in an instant, and without any hesitation, he punched Ling Hong's abdomen accurately, Ling Hong's eyes widened, and the whole person turned backwards After flying out, Huashen immediately jumped over and caught Ling Hong.

It's been a while since Alpha became stronger, unbelievably strong, Ling Hong clutched her slightly aching abdomen, all the scabs were broken, Alpha walked away silently.

"Alpha was the first to discover Jill's strange behavior. Don't say anything about Ling Hong. She is in more pain than any of you. She watched Jill die helplessly, but there was nothing she could do!"

The anger in Ling Hong's chest subsided. She looked at the two sisters who walked in. Ling Hong was a little surprised that Niya would follow, but soon Ling Hong remembered that Jill often mentioned Niya in the past.

Soon Alpha and Nya came to Jill's tomb, Alpha sat cross-legged on the ground, and Nya took out the wine from the bag she was carrying.

"Sister, let's have a good drink tonight."

Alpha unscrewed a bottle of wine, took a sip, lit a cigarette, looked sadly at the black soil in front of him, everything that happened yesterday was like a dream, but now it is extremely real.

Working with Jill for so many years, Alpha was very uncomfortable. The bits and pieces of the past were always circulating in Alpha's mind. Niya was talking to the side, and Alpha smiled bitterly. Red sat beside Alpha.

"Why don't you want to have a good talk with everyone? Why Alpha!"

"If we could really talk about it, things wouldn't be this far. I can turn a blind eye to many things, but once or twice is enough, but what about three times? What about the fourth time? What about the fifth time ?”

Ling Hong lowered her head helplessly, and looked at Alpha after taking a big sip.

"Sorry Alpha!"

Ling Hong knew that it was not Alpha's fault that such a situation would evolve into this situation, but that everyone had changed. In terms of city affairs, it was enough to stop at the end, but the work cannot continue like this, if it cannot be done , the problems will only become more and more complex.

In fact, from the very beginning, Alpha's idea was very simple, to stabilize the city's law and order, improve the city's laws, and then stabilize the economy and improve the quality of life of the people. , began to go out of order, and even often got out of control in recent years.

Obviously, many people know what the problem is, but they gradually fell into a dilemma, and then began to selectively ignore some things. Any problem, as long as the city continues to be stable, will be fine, but these problems will always exist. One day it will erupt, as long as there are problems like today, all problems will erupt.

"Have you ever wondered what will happen if you continue like this Alpha?"

Alpha smiled and shook his head.

"I have never thought about it, or why I have to look around. It is clear that the trajectory was established at the beginning, and it is good to strictly follow this trajectory. In turn, I want to ask everyone, when did you abandon yourself? !"

While Alpha was speaking, he suddenly took out two bottles of wine from his bag and threw them towards the empty place.

"Don't watch from the sidelines!"

Hui Te and Xue Wang showed their figures at the same time, and they walked over after receiving the wine.

"I agree with what you said, President."

Xue Wang smiled politely and sat over. Whit looked distressed. She knew very well that she couldn't blame Alpha for anything. Indeed, in Whit's view, many students had already given up on themselves.

"It will be very dangerous for the city to continue like this. Since everyone is tired, they should take a good rest. I will persuade them to work in the Academy of All Fields."

Xue Wang said, Whit stared at him sideways, Ling Hong raised his hand.

"I was the first to sign up for Principal Xue Wang."

At this time, Niya ran to Ling Hong's side with a smile.

"Sister Ling Hong, can you teach me?"

Ling Hong glanced at Niya, then at Alpha.

"Didn't you see how powerful your sister is? Do you still need me to teach you?"

Niya laughed awkwardly, when Frye came over.

"Please insist on your thoughts, President, the internal affairs department is already in chaos. If you choose to compromise at this time, the situation will only get worse."

Alpha looked at Frye, then nodded.

"Those who don't want to do it, let them do it. It doesn't matter if you want to hate me or blame me. I have said from the beginning, what is the power we have for!"

Alpha raised his hands and clenched his fists as he spoke.
