Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 7 The cruel world

The afterglow of the sun is covering the bright city layer by layer, the breeze is blowing, and the large golden wheat fields are dyed with a layer of light golden yellow. From a distance, large farms and small towns are scattered. There are some near these wheat fields.

To the east of Bright City, where the middle layer connects to the lower layer is the city's granary. The output of grain and meat here can only meet one-third of the city's supply, so there is a special liquid food substitute, which is the first. The 10th Scientific Research Division and the 12th Agricultural Division jointly developed a food that uses bio-cultivation technology to increase food. Although there will be a little side effect, it is minimal for adults. After that, some companies have purchased patents. After the rights, the improvement produced liquid food.

Jean is standing on a wide road with a large wholesale market behind him. They have already reached this point. A large number of food merchants in Bright City are still gathered here, waiting for the food to be released from the warehouse. On the left side of the wholesale market, you can Seeing large-scale food processing warehouses, one by one, there will be a large number of people carrying them.

Because of the artificial sun technology on the top of Bright City, the crops here can ripen five times a year, but they still cannot keep up with the supply. Originally, under the biotechnology of the 5th Scientific Research Section, these crops can mature more quickly. The human body is harmful. Under the long-term research, the crops can only be stabilized at 10 ripening in one year, so that it will not cause harm to the human body.

The climate of Bright City is warm all year round. There are no seasons, and there is no rain or snow. Most of the people here have only seen the changes of weather and seasons in the past through some video teaching materials in their lives.

This is also the only area that allows the use of vehicles, and food wholesalers need to hire some professional mutants to carry ingredients back, and large companies have underground transportation pipelines.

Many mutants can not only use some supernatural powers due to the abnormality of their body cells, but the biggest feature is that they are extremely powerful. Some mutants can even lift a ton of things, but all mutants need to be in the Under the joint supervision of the 2nd City Crisis Analysis and Countermeasures Section, the 5th City Public Security Management Section, and the 8th Legal Affairs Section, it is necessary to obtain the corresponding certificates. The physical assessment every three months still needs to go to the 10th Scientific Research Section. Get checked to prevent the mutation from getting worse.

In this grain base, there is not only the 12th Agricultural Section, but also a main base of the 11th Criminal Management Section.

Gene was walking on the road, smoking a cigarette, and looking at a building that looked like a pillar in the distance. From a distance, it looked like a big chimney, inserted in the middle of this grain base with a large area.

The 11th Criminal Management Section, as the agency that manages all criminals in Bright City, whether it is robbery or theft, or murder and arson, there are only two ways for all criminals to go.

Either wear a special collar and work under the supervision of the 11th Division, or they are directly exiled to the barrier area to fend for themselves. Most criminals who do not want to leave the sun choose to work here, or in some underground engineering facilities. , and can only return to society after being released from prison.

No matter what kind of criminals, if they are old and weak, they will be directly exiled to the barrier area. Those who have no value to the society have no room for survival.

The 11th Criminal Management Section is also responsible for screening the barrier area once a month. The only way for people born in the barrier area to come to the sun is to pass the screening and prove that they are valuable to the society, and then they can be admitted to the lower class. identity authentication.

In the food warehouses on the left and right sides, heavy trucks started, carrying the processed food to the food trading station, and the sun was about to go out.

In the wheat field, the light and shadow poles are slowly protruding. The poles with all-round monitoring and lighting functions, as well as the spraying function of the soil nutrient solution, when a fire occurs, will immediately spray the explosive water for extinguishing the fire. Control the fire within 3 seconds.

Basically, there is a multi-functional agricultural pole about 10 meters away. The pillar-like circular building in front of Gene is close at hand, a gate is locked, and the working prisoner has returned to the prison tower.

The dark prison tower has no windows, only some tiny holes that are invisible to the naked eye, which maintain the temperature and ventilation function in the prison tower.

The prison tower that rises to the sky above the ground are detained light criminals from LV3 to LV5, and below the ground are detained serious criminals from LV0 to LV2. This time, Gene is going to the bottom floor and find one. The criminal of LV0, the guy called the wise man, was sent to prison by Gene himself.

The gate has a background image of a white iron fence with an 11 printed on it.

Gene, who came to the door, raised his head, and soon a concave mirror on the top of the door shot a beam of red light. After passing through Gene's body, the small door in the middle of the door opened with a click.

"Our section chief has been waiting for a long time, Lord Jean."

Gene snorted and stepped into the prison tower with a smile. Once inside, there was a long and narrow passage. There were a large number of convex mirrors on the walls on both sides, which were very irregularly distributed on the walls. This passage was called by the prisoners. the road to death.

Any prisoner who wants to escape from the upper level of the prison tower must go through this road of death. The walls are equipped with light-killing weapons, and it only takes 0.05 seconds for the prisoner to enter the passage and it will be cut into atomic levels, so it is almost impossible to escape from prison. appeared.

Mutant criminals are even more unlikely. They all have special collars that penetrate the central nervous system. Once they resist or want to escape, the 11th Criminal Management Section has the right to directly execute criminals. The special collar will destroy the central nervous system in an instant. Nerves, ranging from paralysis to severe death.

The receptionist led Gene down the passage. The nearly 30-meter passage soon came to an end. A spacious hall appeared. The scent of food was exuding in it. People from Section 11 were all queuing up to eat. Among them is a tall, thin, slender, sickly middle-aged man, wearing the uniform of the 11th Division, with a handsome face, long black hair, and a generous and decent manner. Chief, Jewell.

"Yo, long time no see Gene."

Jewell walked over with a plate of food with a smile on his face when he saw Gene.

"Want to have a meal together?"

Gene glanced at the sticky curry rice on the plate, and lost his appetite for a while. He had stayed here for a short time, and the food here was really unpalatable.

A pair of amazed eyes came over in the hall, Jewell smiled awkwardly, and a girl with glasses came over, bowed solemnly, and took the curry rice from Jewell's hand.

"Just take me down there."

Jewell and Gene walked through a passage on the left with a thick gate. Along the way, the gates slowly opened. There were a total of 10 gates made of special materials. They were sturdy and reliable. A small lift plane elevator, going down here is the underground labor place of criminals.

"I heard that the city has not been peaceful recently."

Jewell took the cigarette that Gene handed over, and after Gene lit it with a thought, he took a breath and coughed.

"It's you Jewell, your physical condition."

"Lord Jean, I hope you can persuade our section chief. He often hangs around in nightclubs in Qinglong District recently, and he also brought some prison chiefs there together. I don't know how he got such a bad habit. , go on like this"

The girl with glasses is Jewell's secretary, Song Xuan. She is very rigid and does everything in a straight-forward manner. She is indignant and repelled by Jewell's lingering in nightclubs.

"Xiao Xuan, I'll take you there someday. There is a nice man in a shop over there. He is strong and strong."

"No need for the section chief, I've been to that shop with friends a long time ago, and the men in it are just a bunch of scumbags. They speak disgustingly, and they look like that. As for the body, I'm good-looking."

Gene smiled helplessly and patted Jewell on the shoulder.

"Be careful, you'll be sucked dry if you go on like this."

Jewell coughed.

"My body is still very good, it's just a little ailment. It should be fine for another 50 years. It's not a problem to come once or twice a day, and it's not a problem."

With a snap, Song Xuan covered Jewell's mouth with a slap.

"Section Chief, please shut up, it's already here, Lord Jean is here to do business."

Jewell couldn't help but muttered as he watched Song Xuan politely lead Gene out of the elevator.

"What's so good about Gene, you respect him so much, what about me? I'm your immediate boss, but"

Song Xuan turned her head and glared at Jewell.

"Section Chief, the difference between you and Lord Jean is that one is a reptile on the ground and the other is the sun in the sky."

At the end of a spacious passage, there are more than 20 people on duty in a special glass house in front of us. This is the lowest floor of the prison tower. This long glass house is more like a city wall than a room.

Directly opposite is a place like a mine. The LV0 prisoners below are free. What they need to do is to dig holes day and night. The original LV0 prisoners were not detained here.

Under the suggestion of the 3rd Military Section, Bright City started a 30-year digging plan ten years ago. The world outside the barrier is no longer suitable for human habitation. Even the air is deadly, and because of the impact of the planet Later, in the world that began to mutate, a large number of unknown substances appeared. In recent years, they have been discovered through surveillance on the isolation barrier, but it is very difficult for people to investigate outside the isolation barrier.

Before going out from the air and breaking away from the isolation layer established with new substances, they had to face too many unknown dangers. The military department has not been able to bring back more effective information from the outside in recent years, and most of them are gone forever. However, communication with other cities can only rely on long-distance special signal waves, without any means of transportation.

Finally, under the comprehensive advice of the Second City Crisis Analysis and Countermeasures Section and the Tenth Scientific Research Section, the Congress of Bright City passed this huge plan to dig a deep passage from the ground, reach the outside world through defensive barriers, and then build a The external investigation base took too long and invested too much, which was not something that Bright City could afford.

Finally, the 11th Prison Section proposed that this plan could be completed by these prisoners who should have been sentenced to death long ago. Most of the prisoners in LV0 are mutants, their vitality is tenacious, their physical strength is strong, and they only need to provide food. In addition, the life expectancy of human beings has increased to 150 years.

This is a large-scale labor force, and they are criminals without any rights. The criminals from LV0 to LV2 will basically be alternately sent to this underground work site to work. If they want to eat, they have to exchange the excavated soil and rocks. For food, private fights are not allowed. Once the fight occurs, the guards of the prison can activate the collar to kill the criminals according to the situation.

There is a platform carrying elevator that leads directly to the ground on the left and right sides, and there are light-killing weapons on the four walls. Once the vital signs are detected, the light-killing weapons will be activated, so it is impossible for some criminals who are lucky enough to escape. of.

The yellow-faced, thin-skinned and pale-skinned prisoners below are constantly transporting soil from the huge 30-meter-high cave in front of them. According to the sensor on the prisoner's neck, it can immediately calculate how many kilograms of soil and rocks have been excavated. At the window where the food was taken, the prisoners who did not reach the amount did not eat.

All this cruel work is considered too cruel in the mouths of some citizens, but in this world that has been destroyed, the perpetrators have no right to talk about, and most of them have become prisoners of LV0 to LV2. It is the only way for them to survive. If they can't bear it, they can apply for the death penalty. After agreeing, the section chief will sign, and the prisoner will be executed immediately.

Those who don't want to work will have to starve to death. Gene quietly watched these faltering prisoners. In order for them to work for decades, the 10th Scientific Research Department will come once a month to examine these prisoners. Prisoners whose bodies have been given to those who cannot afford to work will be exiled to the barrier area by the 11 Criminal Management Section without hesitation.

"Open the door and I'll just go look for it."

At this moment, a glass cover opened in front of him, and Gene jumped directly from a height of more than 20 meters and landed in front of the window for taking food with a bang. The uniform he was wearing was shaking slightly, and he was wearing a hat. Walked slowly.

The dejected prisoners suddenly became restless.

"It's Jean, the devil Jean."

Accompanied by a loud shout, prisoners kept running out of the large tunnel. In this super large circular underground square, there were already huge crowds of people in a short period of time. These prisoners stared at Gene angrily.

"Lord Jean, have pity on us, I want to meet my wife and daughter."

"Lord Jean, I really can't take it anymore. I don't want to die. I want to see the sun outside."

"Lord Gene, please, as long as we don't let us do these tasks, we can do whatever we want, even if we go to do human experiments for the 10th Scientific Research Section!"

There were bursts of whimpering, some of the prisoners cried, and many pleadings were heard, but some of them were glaring at Jean.

"Bastard Gene, go to hell."

With a bang, a prisoner jumped out from the crowd, with murderous intent on his hideous and angry face, and smashed his fist towards Gene.

Just as the people in Section 11 on the city wall behind him were about to activate the collar, Jean raised his hand to stop it, and let out a soft breath of smoke.

With a bang, Gene squeezed the opponent's fist, and immediately the prisoners around him yelled angrily.

"It looks like you haven't been disciplined for a long time, don't activate the collar."

Gene said, and suddenly pulled the fist of the prisoner in front of him, put a hand on his head, and pressed him to the ground with a thud.

The surrounding prisoners flocked to Jean like a tide, and the killing intent was steaming with anger.
