Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 1779 Tears of the Times 3

"Robbery!"

In an alley, a woman fell to the ground. She raised her hand and watched as a bagful of food just bought from the supermarket was snatched away. Some potatoes rolled on the ground and eggs were smashed to pieces.

The woman yelled in horror. There was some confusion on the street at this time. She got up and ran out in a hurry. After several people from Section 3 heard the woman's description, one of them immediately went to a person from Section 5 nearby, and the others from Section 3 people chased after him.

A clerk on the street was being torn apart by a father and daughter. He was still explaining to the woman that they hadn't received the notification from above, so they didn't know what was going on for the time being, but the woman said , her child is sick and needs money to see a doctor, but now that Hillman's finances are in trouble, the woman can't withdraw any money.

The whole city is becoming more and more chaotic. The black smoke rising from the eastern agricultural base in the distance, and the burning smell in the air make the already restless crowd become more and more irritable stand up.

In the center of the street, next to two collided cars, the two car owners were arguing fiercely. Both of them were blaming the other party for the problem. It is not known how many years ago this kind of thing happened. A few people from Section 5 could only bite the bullet and check carefully on the street, listening to the testimony of some witnesses who witnessed the car accident.

Since the introduction of the AI ​​system, the traffic accident rate has been zero for 15 consecutive years, but serious traffic accidents have occurred in many places today.

At the entrance of a restaurant, the boss is selling food that has been made into boxes. A piece of food is priced at 5 yuan. Many people are waiting in a long line to buy. This is a large restaurant. A lot of food purchased today , They were all made and processed at 3 o'clock in the morning last night, and they are waiting for the guests who ordered meals today, but most of the guests who ordered meals have canceled their reservations. In order to prevent losses, the boss can only rely on this method to promote sales.

"I'll buy 100 copies."

A man smiled and handed over 500 yuan. The boss looked at him suspiciously. Soon the man called a mutant and began to put the food into boxes. The man looked at the food excitedly. Today You can earn 500 a day, and the man has decided to take these foods to the vegetable market in the next-door district to sell. A piece of 10 yuan is definitely a hot item.

The boss also saw what this person who came to buy 500 food suddenly wanted to do, but he didn't say it clearly, it's not bad to be able to process the food without losing money, and the streets are full of excited people.

Many people are looking for business theory because they don't have half a dime, and there is already a long queue at the entrance of the supermarket. This situation was not seen in the past Chinese New Year. People are worried that there will be problems with the money they recharge their shopping cards.

Today's situation is not quite right no matter who looks at it. Some people have already started to buy a lot of daily necessities, because they all feel fear, especially the fire in the eastern agricultural base, and Congress has not issued any statement on the situation so far.

Some congressmen have already taken to the streets, and under the escort of some bodyguards, they are persuading the people on the streets to keep calm. The Congress will announce the situation soon.

10:03

L
Ran Qiu pressed his forehead, he didn't know what happened, he was just brought here from Section 2, he still had some injuries, and Ran Qiu had already been beaten up in Section 2, he didn't know what to do next There will be something more cruel waiting for him, but Ran Qiu was extremely shocked when he came here.

Ran Qiu never thought that such a big event would happen to the Hillman family, and the elder sister in front of him became abnormal. No matter what Ran Qiu and elder sister said, the elder sister seemed to not know him, just smirking.

At this moment, two people from Division 2 came in and led Ran Qiu out. He stared blankly at Frye sitting by the door. Ran Qiu knew that Frye was the best psychiatrist in the city.

"Dr. Fry, my sister."

Before Ran Qiu finished speaking, he was escorted by two people from Section 2 and walked away. Frye got up and walked over, motioning for the two people from Section 2 to wait.

"I will try my best. If your matter is cleared up, you can come to Frye Mental Hospital to visit your sister anytime!"

Ran Qiu wiped the tears from his cheeks, his wife and children were gone, they died in the massacre last night, his father was missing, and his sister was the only survivor in the Hillman family.

Ran Qiu didn't know what happened, but overnight, his family was ruined. He originally planned to go to the Hillman family to reunite with his wife and son this morning, but now there is nothing left, and the sadness in his heart is hard to express. Ran Qiu knew part of everything about Erman's family, but he had never participated in it. Although Ran Qiu didn't know what his father was doing, he had roughly guessed it.

When the people in Division 2 were interrogating themselves, from their anger and few words, they could guess that the crimes committed by the Hillman family had been discovered, and who killed the Hillman family, Ran Qiu also guessed.

"Please doctor!"

Ran Qiu said, wiping away tears, Frye nodded with a smile, watching him being brought out, Frye glanced at the woman in the room again, feeling an indescribable helplessness in his heart.

The Hillman family was still being investigated outside, and Frye walked out of a row of rooms temporarily created with light and shadow materials. He looked at the agricultural base to the east, with billowing smoke and dust, and the entire sky was black.

No one knows what will happen today, Frye glanced at the light and shadow screen, reports from all over the place, chaos constantly popped up, and there were many robberies and crimes in the city.

Frye's heart is full of what the clone Lolita once said. The suffering of human beings has been prolonged due to the long lifespan, and this suffering is still infinitely magnified, because the class has been solidified, and no one can Against such a solidified system, even the gods are helpless, Frye is very clear, he can see the helplessness in the expressions of the gods.

At this moment, what Frye said about the cloned Lolita in his heart is more certain, and human beings will suffer greater suffering because of the success of the longevity vaccine.

"Era will end."

As Frye said, he had a bad premonition in his heart. This may be the problem that most senior executives are worried about now. This era will usher in the end.

10:08

Gu Yi, Li Chu, and Deguna are at the side of the Prometheus server that has stopped all functions, checking all the data. On the light and shadow screens, there are all discarded data. There is no way for these data It can solve the problem, but only from these discarded data can it be possible to find a way to repair the current city's collapsed network system.

"These bastards."

As Tang Rao said, looking at Eddie lying on a workbench with his head completely shattered, he had already found a brain control chip implanted in Eddie's body. Brain control chips are fundamentally different, both in terms of technology and capacity.

Although this brain control chip has been completely destroyed, after the material and technology appraisal, the technology of this brain control chip does not belong to Bright City.

This made Tang Rao, Werther, and Rose, who were monitoring, feel weird. The current problem must first restore the network. Only after the network is restored can the situation be announced in front of the whole city, and most of the AI ​​controlled systems, and can also restore control of some systems through the supercomputing power of the AIs.

At this time, Tang Rao walked up to a mechanical head that had already been processed. He had already checked the NDA of the rotten brain. He could not find the DNA of this guy in the city, and it was certain that the brain was cloned. And the most important thing is that many substances that do not belong to this planet have been detected in this brain.

"What should we do next!"

At this time Deguna said, Witt is still watching the situation of the eastern agricultural base. In most of the burning farmland, the fire has been contained temporarily and has been brought under control, but there are still a small number of areas where the fire has not been brought under control. Half of the agricultural base was affected.

All five guys present could foresee what would happen in the future.

"Activate Citizenship Level!"

As Deguna said, the other four people also stopped their work for a while, Tang Rao took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a leisurely puff.

"Are you sure! This is the most cruel system for human beings, but it is also the system that can spur human beings to move forward, and it will further deepen the solidification of the physique, and even determine everything about human beings."

Deguna shook her head.

"If you want to clean up the current chaos, you can only take this step. If the citizen level is introduced, it will take up to 30 years. The city will become much better than it is now, and our plan for the mechanized age will be easier to realize. Now Today, AI still has problems, and it will be interfered by an AI of unknown origin, and even implanted with a virus."

Deguna looked angrily at the host in front of her, when Werther spoke.

"What would Gene think?"

"No matter what he thinks, so many people in the city need to be fed, and more people will be needed to support them in the future. The collapse of the Hillman family and everything they have done will destroy most of the things, but this It’s also a chance for a new life, we just have to keep everything under control.”

Gu Yi nodded, and Li Chu laughed.

"Through external strife to stimulate domestic demand, the current barrier area has reached this point. Although such a big problem has arisen because of a small problem with the Hillman family, it does not pose any threat to the development of the city. "

Tang Rao's expression was still serious, and Deguna asked again.

"Then do you have a better way? If you have something, you can bring it up to Tang Rao, including that bastard Jean. If there is a better way, we will obey and help find a way together." , Human society is like this, it goes round and round, if human beings want to live, they need society, and if society wants to survive, it must rely on ordinary people, businessmen, and technology leaders.”

Tang Rao shook his head.

"Isn't it the same as before?"

"It's even worse than before, or half a dozen."

As Werther said, the five of them started to work again.

10:11

Luo Jiahui returned to the General Affairs Section, still looking at some documents, he had already changed his uniform, his wife Yu Wanrou looked at him worriedly.

"There is a smell."

As Yu Wanrou spoke, Luo Jiahui hummed. Yu Wanrou knew what Luo Jiahui had done, but she didn't call the name. The current situation is very chaotic.

Outside the General Affairs Department, there are still a large number of people who don't know the truth. They all want to get the news as soon as possible, and they are still waiting outside the General Affairs Department, including a large number of reporters in the lobby on the first floor, who are still waiting for the General Affairs Department Announce the news, but now there is no way to connect to the network.

"What do you think will happen this time?"

Locke shook his head.

"No one knows what to do! What we can do is try our best to calm the impact that the announcement of the Hillman family will have on the city."

10:14 am

In the Eastern Prison, there was chaos. Gene stood quietly on the wall of the Eastern Prison. Some of the 3rd Sections stationed here were helping people from the 11th Section. Weapons, once the prisoners wake up and try to resist, they will be shot directly.

Jean knew very well that what he could do had already been done, and the next step was to see what would happen to the city.

The city used to be very simple. Although it was full of violence and crime, the problems in the city at that time were far simpler than it is now. With the advent of the information age, the city has changed from one town to another connected by roads in the past. Incomparably close, the problems become more and more complicated and more and more.

Now many people in the city are wondering what happened, and Gene really wanted to ask what happened. Tiredness filled Jean's body, and his mind was extremely tired.

Seeing such a tragedy again, Gene couldn't help recalling in his mind that he was the same in the past, growing up in a neighborhood with economic collapse.

Gene knows what economic collapse means, because this is a social norm set by human beings long ago. In a society with a good economy, the crime rate will be low and people's happiness index will be higher. In society, the crime rate is high, and people always feel unlucky.

Gene still remembers that his mother was a dancer, and Gene didn't know who his father was. Although he asked his mother, his mother didn't know either. From the day Gene was born, all he saw in his eyes was violence and crime. , and social malice.

When Gene was very young, he witnessed someone being beaten to death in the street at the door of his house. The shock brought about by that incident is still very clear to Gene.

Because Jin knew very well that if he continued to live here, one day he would die in the stinky ditch like the man who was beaten to death.

One day when Gene returned home, he found his mother lying in a pool of blood. Since then, Gene has been alone and committed crimes himself. Like everyone else in the block, at the age of 14, he was already a frequent visitor to the prison. Now, Gene, who had escaped from the juvenile detention center many times, finally no matter which charity organization it was, he was unwilling to take over himself again.

It's just that one day, when Gene robbed a shop owner, he made a mistake. Gene thought he would die, but the owner of the restaurant didn't shoot, but called himself to the back kitchen and gave himself a meal. There was enough to eat, and Gene has been working in that restaurant ever since.

Gene still puts his inner anger and dissatisfaction into violence every day, and every time he is beaten up by the boss, he never reasoned with himself.

"Does Gene know why I don't reason with you? Because you never reason with others, you just put all your grievances into violence."

Thinking of this, Gene laughed helplessly, looking at the criminals below, who might be the same as himself in the past.

Later, when Gene grew up, he gradually became less violent, but the boss, who had shown great kindness to Gene, died of a serious illness, and Gene felt alone again. Warned Gene.

"The truly strong man is the one who is willing to help someone in times of adversity, not the one who resorts to violence."

Although Gene clearly knew what the boss said, but after the boss left, because of some things, Gene could only be the same as the past, because the shadows of the past always follow Gene's side like undead, regardless of Gene How to escape, how to run, there is still no way to escape.

It was at this time, when Jean was haunted by the ghosts of the past, that Jean met Ellie, as well as his mentor, the Destroyer of Worlds.

Many students have asked Gene why there is no death penalty in Brilliant City. Gene only answered them, because there is still value. If the future value of this person is deprived in advance, it will damage the city.

It's just that Gene is very clear why he tried his best to rule out the death penalty when he established the Brilliant City. It is because his past, that gloomy life, can also have light shining in, and these prisoners are the same, They still have value, so they can live.

Gene knew very well that he couldn't do what he had saved the three people, he couldn't understand, and he couldn't do it, but the kind deeds of these three people did change his dark life.

"Give the city to a kind person! Ellie."

Gene smiled bitterly. Looking at the black smoke constantly rising from the eastern agricultural base, Gene's heart was extremely heavy. Sad but without tears, helpless but without support, angry but with nowhere to vent, Gene didn't know how to accept it. What should I do when I go down.

What the future of the city will be like, Gene is very clear. At this moment, Gene really wants to talk to Ellie and ask her how to solve it, but it is already impossible.

Gene took out a cigarette and sat cross-legged on the ground. He looked up at the city in the distance. It is not easy for people to correct the past, let alone the concept of such a huge city.

There will only be more problems in the future. This era is collapsing, and no one can stop it.

"Is there anyone? In the future, there may be people who can solve all problems, or there may not be!"

10:27 am

Le Wen smiled and looked at the slightly relieved staff of the water plant and several local regional officials.

"Mr. Lewen, thank you very much for being able to help."

Levin shook his head.

"I think you should prepare some food as soon as possible. After all, many people in our district don't have money to buy food. Although I don't know what happened, this is a very serious problem."

Several regional officers nodded one after another, and his wife Su Xin, who had been waiting beside her, approached with a smile.

"It's better for us to go back. After all, there are quite a lot of children in our area. Although we can't get anything to eat, it is still possible to cook them a New Year's feast."

Le Wen hummed, and a regional officer walked over and took out a thick bag. Le Wen took out some money from it, and then said.

"Buy it as food and send it to my home."

"Mr. Lewen, I think it's better to forget it. If you do this, they will only be like children who can never have enough to eat, and even will."

Levin shook his head.

"Insufficient food is the big problem here, and how to keep these hungry children alive is your responsibility, is it what you should do!"

Looking at the couple leaving the water plant, a group of people fell silent at this moment, and Le Wen sighed helplessly.

"I just didn't expect such a problem to happen in the city."

"That's right, everyone is having a hard time now, and now it's just worse!"

The husband and wife held each other's arms, and did not feel anxious or sad because of what happened in the New Year today, because for them, instead of worrying and sad, it is better to face the cloudy sky with a smile, which is the most important thing in being human thing.

At this time on the street, many people took out some food from their homes. Many people at the bottom did not feel sad or helpless because of the sudden big problem today. Many people still celebrate the New Year normally. For the people at the bottom For example, if you have no money in your pocket, you should buy less New Year's things, as long as you can eat enough.

Some places on the street are still filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, and some officers on the street are also relaxed. Most of the people at the bottom are still using old phones. The network of this phone is different from the phone network controlled by AI. Yes, it can still be used normally, but the New Year’s entertainment for the lower-level people is actually very simple. Relatives and friends gather together, eat and drink happily, and talk about some things in the past year, so that they can spend a complete year.

At this time, some officers on the bottom streets have already started to rush to the middle level, and the middle and upper levels are where the situation is the worst.

Many people only need food, and most of the food at the bottom can fully meet the needs of the bottom people. After the food is just a little bit of entertainment, many people don’t have much feeling for the Internet. It’s not that they can’t live without the Internet. .

At this time, in the eastern agricultural base, the flames in the last farmland that caught fire were extinguished. Ye Chunwang quietly looked at the large area of ​​scorched farmland, his face was black with dirt, but soon Ye Chunwang laughed.

"New crops will grow in the land, for sure!"
