Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

ticking

The soup dripped from Le Xiao's mouth and chin into the bowl, while Michelle opposite her was wiping her lips.

Looking at the bowl of sweet and clear pumpkin soup in front of her, Le Xiao fell into deep thought again. She clearly remembered what she had for dinner when she helped Frye Mental Hospital to raise donations. There's pumpkin soup in there.

It is said that it was grown by the patients, but the pumpkin soup was a bit bitter compared to the bowl in front of me. Due to the lack of light all year round, Le Xiao only found out after visiting 10 departments that the original area and amount of the sun's rays were Can be controlled.

No wonder when I went to the middle and lower areas in the north, I still felt a little chilly even though the light was shining on me.

"I have really seen it. It should be impossible to admit it."

Le Xiao recalled that when the nuclear weapon was blocked by him that night, he instantly floated over the barrier area like a ghost. He did see Frye at that time, but what was different from usual times was that Frye's clothes were There seems to be black orderly pleated armor.

"What have you seen?"

Michelle asked, and Le Xiao came back to her senses. She picked up the pumpkin soup with an awkward smile and drank it in one breath. Michelle neatly stacked a small bowl, a plate and a soup on the opposite side. In front of Le Xiao, there were 10 bowls and plates, including four kinds of meat, and she also ate two bowls of rice.

"Come up with me."

Le Xiao hurriedly planned to clear away the dishes, but the head chef who was not far away ran over with a smile.

"Master Le Xiao, I'll take care of it. Come up quickly and tell me what you want to eat tonight!"

Le Xiao said thank you and turned back immediately after taking a few steps.

“Salt and pepper grilled chicken!”

The chef held out three fingers.

"Is 30 skewers enough?"

"Let's go to 35!"

After dinner, Le Xiao felt a little sleepy. As soon as she got to the 7th floor, she met Locke.

"General Manager"

Locke just waved his hand and ran away, licking his mouth.

"Your Excellency, Manager, please pay attention to your reasonable meals. I have given two of your four steaks to Secretary Le Xiao."

Locke stopped at the elevator entrance, and Le Xiao had already run into Michelle's office first.

After eating, Le Xiao felt a little sleepy, but she still tried to stand up straight. The hall below was completely silent just now, and everyone was eating quietly. When she thought of the powerful woman behind her, Le Xiao's sleepiness disappeared immediately.

After Michelle sat down, she asked Le Xiao to bring up a sofa. After Le Xiao sat down comfortably, she looked at a large light and shadow panel on the wall, which had seven physical ability test items for mutants, and finally occupied 30 A practical combat test.

"First of all, you have to have an image in your head, know the overall process of the exam, and what the values ​​of various mutants represent."

Le Xiao looked at each word carefully, and immediately felt sweat starting to form on her forehead. It was too strict, and she felt like she was going to die when she thought of even cheating on her.

"There is a way to become a mutant. Let's first talk about the awakening of normal mutated cells. There will be about two or three in 10,000 people. The probability is not very high, because the life-span vaccine you have injected contains it. With alienated genes.”

Le Xiao nodded, she knew this.

"The second method is through physical exercise. In the process of continuous exercise, the human body will be overloaded. As long as you endure it and continue physical overload exercise, basically one or two people out of 100 will be able to do it. Awakening alienation genes."

overload? This is how to exercise!

Le Xiao felt more and more stressed. Michelle could see through Le Xiao's little thoughts at a glance, because they were all written on her face.

"According to the industry's research standards for many years, running 30 kilometers a day, doing 500 push-ups, 500 pull-ups, and 500 sit-ups is the most basic."

"should be no problem!"

Le Xiao clenched her fists, but Michelle immediately added.

"This is just the basis. If you want to awaken more quickly, you need other aspects of training. Actual combat training is essential. During combat, the human body will have a self-protection mechanism amidst the sense of crisis and tension. In such a mechanism It is the easiest to awaken. By the way, if you awaken and become a mutant, your salary will increase. By the way, my current salary is 150,000."

"It's so difficult!"

Le Xiao stood up and looked at Michelle in disbelief. When she thought of the salary limit for mutants stipulated in the law, Le Xiao understood and felt a little excited.

Michelle immediately brought up another light and shadow screen, which was a very detailed 3D picture of a mutant.

"Generally speaking, normal people have 20,000 to 25,000 genes. After being vaccinated with the longevity vaccine, there will be 350 to 400 more genes in the human body. These genes have been found to be able to effectively increase human lifespan. can be extended and fit well with the original gene. Once the lifespan of a person's body is over 400, the body will begin to change and become a mutant. This part is collectively called alienated genes, and every 100 The increase in genes corresponds to the six levels of mutant EDCBAS."

Le Xiao listened carefully and nodded, got up, went to the wall, took out the tea set, and started making tea.

"By the way, Secretary-General, how many alien genes do you have?"

"I have 7387 alienated genes."

Lexiao was startled and swallowed.

"By the way, among the heads of the Executive Section, except for Mo Xiaolan, the head of Section 2, who only has more than 6,000 alienated genes, the number of alienated genes is more than 8,000. Among them, the section chief with the most alienated genes is King Xue, who has more than 6,000 alienated genes. 14,568.”

Michelle said, raising a hand, and when Lexiao had just finished pouring the water, she directly used telekinesis. White particles floated in the air, and a cup of tea was moved directly, but there were some signs of shaking in the process. , Michelle immediately released red particles, and the teacup seemed to be fixed, and even the overflowing water droplets were stagnant.

Le Xiao clapped her hands, and Michelle frowned slightly.

"Haven't you read relevant scientific reports about the power of mutants?"

Lexiao smiled awkwardly and shook her head.

"In general, the reason why mutants have telekinesis is because a large number of alienated cells invisible to the naked eye penetrate into the air from the mutant's skin. These alienated cells are like machines and can receive mutations. You can imagine the signals from the human brain as extra limbs. As you just saw, the white particles are the signals after the appearance of alienated cells in the mutated human body, because the quality of the cells is not uniform, and some are larger. Alienated cells have higher energy, and because of the extra tubes and crystals in the alienated cell structure, when the alienated cells are exposed to the air, the energy carried in the nucleus will emit light during the violent transformation process. ."

Michelle pulled out the structure of an alienated cell from the light and shadow screen. Originally, human cells only had 5 types of structures, but there were 8 types of alienated cells, including energy cores, tubes, and crystals.

"The energy of the alienated cells of E-class mutants is low. No matter how high the energy is, it can only emit a faint light. And because of the low energy, it will be very laborious to complete the process of moving an object with telekinesis. There are an uncountable number of them. After clear alienated cells come out of the body, they cannot survive for a long time due to the energy of the cells. Therefore, the range of telekinesis used by E-class mutants will not exceed one meter at most, even if they want to lift something weighing dozens of kilograms. , for example, people can only be in close proximity.”

Le Xiao nodded, something extremely clear came to her mind.

"As the alienated genes in the mutated human body increase, the energy of the alienated cells produced will be higher. During the reaction process, the color will follow the gradient sequence. The difference between E to D level mutants is that the alienated cells In terms of brightness, E-level can only achieve weak fluorescence, while D-level can achieve the level of illuminating light. Later, due to the pigments contained in human blood, the alienated cells produced by C to B-level mutants will turn brown. , and finally there are the red particles of A-level to S-level mutants. The physical level of a mutant can be judged by distinguishing the brightness of the particles."

Le Xiao blinked and Michelle sat down.

"The body's data is useless if it cannot be effectively transformed into actual combat. Therefore, the combat link is an extremely important link for every mutant. Most low-level mutants can only do Lifting heavy loads."

"By the way, how many mutated cells does Jean have?"

At this time Le Xiao asked, Michelle did not nod or shake her head. She was not sure and could not answer. After all, Jean was one of the gods.

"You can just ask Master Jean yourself about this later."

Le Xiao said oh, Michelle stood up and walked to the wall, and brought up a light and shadow screen. It was a battle in last year's mutant promotion exam. The two of them looked about the same size, and there were various body values ​​​​beside them. close.

When the battle started, both sides began to fight each other, with fists to the flesh, but both sides were creating scabs for defense.

"Who do you think will win?"

Le Xiao blinked and watched the two of them fight almost, but one guy was obviously suppressed. Le Xiao immediately chose the mutant in blue sports shorts. However, three minutes later, the mutant in red sports shorts Won.

"During the battle, the red candidates are very smart and know how to save their energy. Creating scabs is like a double-edged sword for every mutant, because scabs want to have extremely high hardness. It requires a large number of alienated cells to be stacked and manufactured. Under the control of the mutant's thoughts, the alienated cells can be completely crystallized because of the crystals present in their cell structure. To put it simply, it is armor stacked with cells. The higher the density of alienated cells and the more scientific the arrangement and combination, the hardness and flexibility of the scab will be different, and the ability to resist being hit will also be different."

Le Xiao nodded. In the short 3-minute video, Le Xiao recalled that the blue examinee attacked fiercely from the beginning and spared no effort to create scabs to defend the opponent's attack. Even if he was beaten, he would attack the opponent, but the red examinee Very smart to avoid. At the end of the three minutes of fierce fighting between the two sides, the blue candidate's movements obviously became a little slow. As a result, the red candidate took advantage of this and launched a round of fierce attacks, and the opponent fell down.

"Follow me to the indoor training ground on the fifth floor."

Michelle said, Le Xiao took a sip of water and followed Michelle.

Many people in the General Affairs Department would always do some exercises in the training ground after taking a break after meals. Fighting was an indispensable part. Le Xiao also heard shouts from inside several times.

"Then among the section chiefs of the executive department, is Jean the strongest?"

Le Xiao asked again, and Michelle nodded.

"Lord Jean should not be included. Excluding Lord Jean, the top three section chiefs in terms of combat ability are Heathcote, Tianhen, and Niya."

Le Xiao was a little shocked. When it came to Heathcote, the bearded section chief seemed to be quite easy-going, always smiling and speaking very gently. Tian Hen and Niya Le Xiao were not the same. Accident.

"By the way, Chief Niya has only 8976 alienated genes. If we really fight, she will be more powerful than Chief Tianhen."

As soon as he arrived outside the indoor training field on the right side of the dormitory on the fifth floor, Le Xiao heard shouts inside. As soon as he entered, he saw that not only the general affairs department, but also many department officials from other departments were here. At that time, a director from Section 5 and a director from the General Affairs Section were fighting fiercely on the field.

After watching it for a few minutes, Le Xiao felt that she couldn't see anything, because it didn't have much reference value and she couldn't experience it personally. And the most important thing was that the battles she saw many times were at a relatively high level. All this meant to her It's like watching a movie.

"I surrender!"

The director of the General Affairs Section raised his hands, bursts of laughter immediately erupted from the sidelines, and the director of Section 5 laughed.

"Lao Liu, have you not exercised enough recently? It has only been 5 minutes and you are already tired!"

"Don't come here. There are so many things going on lately, and you don't even think about how old I am. I'm almost 20 years older than you."

At this time, everyone noticed Michelle and saluted. Michelle raised her hand and waved.

"Is anyone coming?"

Michelle said, and immediately the originally calm atmosphere in the room was lifted up again. Le Xiao blinked and looked around, and people stood up one after another in the crowd.

"I don't know. Every time the secretary-general fights, there are at least 3 opponents and at most 5 people."

Looking at Wu Lei approaching from the side, Le Xiao was a little surprised.

Michelle took off her uniform jacket and wore a tight beige vest underneath. Waves of cheers erupted from the crowd around her. Le Xiao swallowed and looked at Michelle, who was well-proportioned and muscular. A body with a sense of beauty.

"How do you practice this?"

Wu Lei laughed helplessly.

"Just take your time. By the way, Le Xiao, you seem to have gained weight recently. Some people are discussing in private that the secretary of Section 13 eats so much."

Le Xiao blushed and laughed awkwardly.
