Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

12:30

A light and shadow screen was erected on the middle and upper streets. There was no announcement on the screen, only a 30-minute countdown.

At 1 o'clock sharp, the medical department will explain the issue of the surge in patients in the near future.

The bright red characters were just above the countdown, and many people sitting in the store raised their heads.

"Is there any infectious disease?"

"Don't tell me it's really possible."

There is already some discussion about infectious diseases.

"Think about it. In recent years, several infectious diseases have broken out on the ground floor. It's scary to think about such a dirty and messy environment."

Early this morning, there were rumors about infectious diseases among the middle and upper classes, but many people did not pay attention to it because according to some exposures on the Internet, most of the patients were from the lower classes. In addition, the 12th Agricultural Department suddenly recruited people at a high price last night. The work of removing a large number of lower-level labor force has begun to be carried out one after another.

Some people suspect that the infectious disease may have broken out from the agricultural department. Although there are different opinions, basically such rumors have begun to reach the middle and upper levels, while the lower levels are still in the dark about these things.

Many people at the bottom have already taken a certain amount of money and signed a confidentiality agreement with Department 4 after a family member fell ill and was sent to the hospital, so they did not disclose anything. Regarding the recent sudden illness of many people at the bottom, Although some people have seen it, it doesn't matter to them.

Some people are even happy about this, because someone else just fell ill and someone got a replacement job.

Those whose family members are sick also feel it vaguely. This may be related to the liquid food they eat from Sanlian Company, but years of bad life have made them accustomed to such things.

In the impression of some middle-aged people in their 70s and 80s, poisonous food accidents happen once or twice at the bottom, and the management department will solve the problem every time.

The most serious incident was the heavy metal water pollution incident. At that time, the city's water supply facilities were controlled by the Sherman family. The source of the city's water was rainwater. There were no water molecules that are as convenient as today without causing any problems. Draw system.

The Hillman family was the water supplier. At that time, the equipment at a large water outlet factory in the industrial area was damaged, but the Hillman family did not report it, but continued to conceal it. As a result, many industrial discharges were mixed with rainwater. Water was supplied to some places on the ground floor without strict treatment, resulting in widespread metal poisoning.

At that time, there were no longer a few people suffering from metal poisoning. Although many people saved their lives, they were left with lifelong disabilities. The accident more than 50 years ago left many people feeling chilled. Many people who experienced it were still alive today. .

Afterwards, some people in charge of the factory took the initiative to stand up and take responsibility for everything. However, everyone knew that they were just the ones taking the blame, and the matter was settled. One can imagine the future lives of those with metal poisoning. , but after the treatment was completed and a sum of money was paid, the matter was considered over.

At this time, a man who had just eaten on the lower street was sitting at the door of his house. He lifted up his pants and exposed a pair of metal feet. He was one of the victims of the metal poisoning. At that time, the metal toxin made him The lower body was paralyzed.

If it hadn't been for the opening of prosthetic medical technology in Department 10 decades ago, he would never have thought of standing up in his life. There was a trace of worry on the man's face, because his son was hospitalized and his daughter-in-law was not allowed to go to the hospital to take care of him. Although the family received a living subsidy of 3,000 yuan, the man's heart was already cold at this time.

The man knew very well that he couldn't do anything. A reporter found him before, but he still didn't mention it. He also told the reporter not to continue the investigation. Things are buried.

“No matter who comes, the ground floor is still the same.”

The man sighed, and his daughter-in-law walked out.

"Dad, it's time to eat."

The man stood up, a little annoyed, because his health was getting worse day by day, and the only job he could do was street cleaning, but he didn't always have work. As the main labor force in the family, his son worked outside, basically saving money. I brought them all to my house because there are two children who are studying.

It turned out that my son was eating liquid food from Sanlian Company during that time. Because it was cheap, there were discounts for buying in large quantities.

Looking at the liquid food poured on the rice, the man sat down and pressed his hands on the table in pain for a moment. His son had been hospitalized for almost three months and he had never seen him before.

"Dad is fine."

dong dong dong

There was a knock on the door of the room, and my daughter-in-law hurriedly opened the door. When she saw two people from Section 4, they came in and closed the door.

"What's the meaning!"

A black wallet was placed on the table, with a string of numbers flashing on it, a limit of 100,000.

"Mr. Paul, your son died at 11:31:27 today!"

In an instant, the man named Paul stood up excitedly, and with a burst of whimpering, his daughter-in-law began to cry.

"According to the previous calculations by the General Affairs Department, your son will be compensated with 100 times the basic salary of 1,000 yuan, and the four members of your family can be included in the Bright City medical insurance plan!"

Paul trembled and stared quietly at the wallet on the table and a contract. The four members of the family would enjoy medical insurance of 200 yuan per month.

Paul said nothing, signed his name, and the contract came into effect.

"Mr. Paul, please keep it confidential from the outside world. Once you fail to comply with the contract, we have the right to cancel it."

"get out!"

Paul sat down, and the two people from Section 4 left and started walking towards another house.

The director of District 118 was explaining to some of the commissioners who were about to leave that 8 patients with stage III hemangioma admitted to Hospital 118 died today, and this number will increase as time goes by.

These people have been hospitalized for more than three months. Their cardiopulmonary function has completely deteriorated due to the pain. The gene enhancers have been used to the limit, and the daily surgical resections are the same.

"Try to soften your attitude, say sorry when necessary, and try to tell the family members that we have tried our best!"

The dean sighed and looked at the departing staff with a heavy heart. The reason why he chose this time was to avoid being noticed. Most people were still immersed in the carnival. If a person in psychology encounters No matter how miserable the situation is, the best way is to make the atmosphere around this person cheerful, which is somewhat useful.

There are still more than a dozen patients who are in extremely unstable condition and have begun to suffer from cardiopulmonary failure. They have just used genetic enhancers, which temporarily restored some of these people's cardiopulmonary functions. However, as the cancerous tissue is cut away with physical surgeries one after another, , the human body's metabolism is much faster than before, which is also the main reason for the rapid failure of cardiopulmonary function.

It is necessary to continuously add nutrients to the human body through capillary injections, ensure vital signs, and quickly remove the diseased tissue. Now there is nothing that can be done and we can only wait for the headquarters to develop antibodies.

Last night, the headquarters had contacted major hospitals and explained all the work, and they also learned that a method to combat this disease has been found.

Some patients in the second phase have also begun to deteriorate to a certain extent. After using gene enhancers, a large number of blind and deaf patients have appeared. These injuries are permanent and irreversible, and the most serious ones are muscle weakness and central nervous system damage. Neuropathy causes paralysis of the lower limbs.

At this time, the director also turned around and returned to the corridor. He planned to wait at the main entrance of the hospital. He would announce the situation later and was ready to distribute "antibodies".

Almost all the people queuing up to see a doctor in the hall had been cleared out. Unless there were critically ill patients, they were simply asked to prescribe some medicine or go home to rest based on their symptoms. At this time, two people who looked like they were twitching were carried away. Come in.

"A new patient!"

"As expected, Fatty, you can always be relied upon at critical moments!"

In the section chief's conference room, the section chiefs were all dealing with the matters at hand while waiting for 1 o'clock to arrive. Mo Xiaolan pushed a wheelchair to Locke's side.

"What's wrong?"

"The morning before yesterday, when there was a large-scale protest on the ground floor, our department did not activate the street screens on the lower floor, but these screens were suddenly activated. After we checked, the activation authority this time came from the General Affairs Department, from Your hand, thanks to your timely reaction, otherwise."

Locke Jiahui froze.

"Didn't you start Section 2?"

Locke Ka Fai and Mo Xiaolan were both confused for a moment. Mo Xiaolan directly called up a light and shadow panel, and quickly gathered the activation time of all the light and shadow screens in all the areas on the ground floor the morning before yesterday, and who started it. I just watched it. His face became serious at first glance.

"No record!"

Mo Xiaolan slapped his hand on the table, and Locke immediately held down Mo Xiaolan because it was about to start.

"Did something go wrong?"

Noah came over with a smile on his face. Mo Xiaolan glanced at the section chiefs, nodded and pointed to the rest area next to them. The three of them came to the stage, and Mo Xiaolan explained the matter directly.

"This is indeed a strange thing. How come there is no record?"

Noah took out his mobile phone, then snapped his fingers. The door of the conference room opened. A robot came in carrying a heavy 1 cubic meter black metal block, placed it next to the three of them and left.

Noah pressed his hand on the metal square, and light and shadow screens popped up. He quickly began to search. That morning, he opened the record of all permissions for the light and shadow screens on the ground floor on the ground floor. After searching around, he found nothing.

The expressions of the three people became serious.

"We'll investigate after the matter has passed. After all, if there hadn't been the person who had activated the authority earlier, things would have gotten out of hand."

"We will start investigating now to find out what is going on. It is impossible. Without the authority of the General Affairs Section or our Section 2 and your Section 10, it is impossible to control the light and shadow screen."

Mo Xiaolan became more and more confused. Everyone saw that the time was already 12:51, with 9 minutes left. At this time, the four gods also put down their work. The section chiefs sat on their chairs one after another, and someone appeared in the middle. A front-facing light and shadow screen is the front direction of your line of sight no matter which angle you look at it.

Tianhen will immediately return to Section 3 after the incident and go directly to the barrier area. There are still 5 team members who have not been found yet, not even their bodies. Tianhen plans to let the special forces search for them in the barrier area, even if they dig three feet into the ground. He also had to be retrieved, and after the situation calmed down a bit in a few days, a briefing session for the family of the deceased from Section 3 would have to be held.

Everyone has work at hand, but they have to wait until this matter is over and see what happens next. As long as it stabilizes, they have to return to their own departments and carry out the next step of work. Although it is left to the secretaries and the section chiefs can I feel relieved, but for such a huge job, I still have to go back and share some of it.

"Don't be lazy when you get back, otherwise Yincai will be exhausted."

Ivy, who was sitting next to Leona, murmured, and Leona smiled. Time passed by minute by second. At this time, with 2 minutes left, the screen appeared. In Examination Hall No. 1, The east side was full of media reporters, and Le Xiao was already standing on the stage, Gu Ningning was also there, Michelle was under the stage, Qin Dong and Zi Yu'er were there.

"Something seems not quite right, Lord Deguna!"

At this time, Noah stood up. He had discovered that some data within Section 10 had changed. The irradiation rate of the artificial sun had begun to increase.

"No matter what happens, let's wait until the announcement is over."

Noah bowed and sat down.

The afternoon sun began to heat up, but at this time many people on the street felt that the sun today seemed different from usual days.

"It's in color!"

Some people raised their hands and looked at the radiating sunlight. It was very warm on their bodies, not hot at all, and there seemed to be some colors in the light.

"that is true!"

Two women on the street raised their heads, but most people didn't notice. They were still talking about the upcoming announcement of the business department in some lounge bars.

But at this time, many people on the ground floor noticed that the color of the sun was a little different from usual, and the feeling of it shining on the body was also different from the usual heat.

On a light and shadow panel, there was a burning fireball with a lot of numerical values ​​next to it. Noah looked solemn, and Locke took a look.

"It seems like the sun is getting closer. What's going on?"

Noah shook his head. The distance between the sun and the ground was indeed getting closer. The colors of the light were being separated, and several colors of composite light began to appear. Noah felt that something was a little strange. Why did such a strange phenomenon occur? Separation The light coming out will affect some communications.

At this time, in the sky over the entire city, some morning-colored particles separated from the colored light can be seen, floating down gently like feathers, and soon submerged into the electric poles. It's just that this is abnormal. , no one can see it.

"Back to normal!"

Noah was a little strange. The light began to return to normal again. At 1 o'clock sharp, light and shadow screens began to appear in the middle of the street in the city, and the light began to weaken at this time.

Noah glanced at the shadow screen and the number of nuclear fusions began to decay.

The four gods and section chiefs all looked at Le Xiao on the light and shadow screen. Gu Ningning next to her looked very panicked.

"This little girl is still the same as before, unable to get on the stage!"

Gu Yi said something, Ye Chunwang said with a smile.

"She is still young, and now she is devoting herself to the research of genetic science and pharmaceutical research all day long. I think this is a good thing."

Le Xiao was already standing in front of the table, her hands pressed on the table with a serious face.

"Good afternoon, fellow citizens. I'm sorry to disturb your lunch break at this time!"

Le Xiao smiled and her expression softened a little.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if everyone is on holiday these days!"

Following Le Xiao's smile, many people watching the live broadcast also smiled and laughed naturally. Not only at the bottom, but also in the middle and even upper levels, some citizens smiled.

Because in the eyes of many people, what Le Xiao said can always be heard in their hearts. There is no trace of arrogance in her body, and no trace of prejudice in her eyes.

"The quality of this little girl is quite good!"

Deguna nodded as she spoke, and King Xue smiled slightly and nodded.

“Here, on behalf of the business department, I would like to extend my most sincere respect to those who are still working during the holidays, as well as my colleagues in the business department! Because of your efforts, the city can enjoy the feast when most people can enjoy it. , it can still operate normally, thank you everyone for your hard work!”

Le Xiao bowed with a smile on her face, but at this time, there was a lot of sweat on Le Xiao's palms, back, armpits, and forehead. She knew very well that the moment she said it, the whole city would stop. , and no one could predict what happened next. Le Xiao felt great pressure, but she still pursed her lips and smiled.

Many people have noticed the bitter look on Le Xiao's face. Gu Ningning on the side has already felt her legs are weak. She really wants to leave the stage, invisible pressure is stimulating every nerve in her.

Say it quickly! hurry up!

Le Xiao raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, while the whole city was waiting. Time seemed to have completely stopped at this moment, with pairs of eyes staring at the light and shadow screen in the middle of the street.

"By the way, I wonder if anyone has that today."

Le Xiao felt that her head was blank and buzzing. It was obviously something that had been discussed at the beginning, but when she arrived at the scene, Le Xiao was too nervous and her head was very hot, as if it was about to melt.

Michelle, who was under the stage, winked desperately at Le Xiao.

At this time, some middle-level streets began to whisper, because many people thought Le Xiao was a little strange and coy.

"What happened to this secretary today? It's weird."

"Hasn't she been like this since she took the stage?"

There was some knowing laughter in the street.

"By the way, everyone had a good time at lunch today, right?"

Le Xiao forgot, and only the matter of eating was left in his mind. Everyone watching the live broadcast looked at a loss, always feeling weird, looking at Le Xiao talking incoherently, talking about eating. thing.

In the section chief's conference room of the General Affairs Department, Deguna was so angry that her teeth itched.

"What's going on with this little girl? Let Michelle go up first and relax the atmosphere."

Locke immediately sent instructions to Michelle, but 30 seconds passed and Le Xiao was still talking nonsense on the stage, completely confused and looking frightened, but Michelle did not move.

"what happened?"

King Xue looked at Le Xiao and Michelle who didn't move in confusion. He realized something in his mind and stood up.

"By the way, I said so much today because I actually have something very important to tell you, but this incident may have a big impact on you, so I am a little scared, so I hope that no matter what you hear, Listen to me quietly, I just hope everyone listens to me!"

Le Xiao repeated again.

"Cut off the Internet!"

King Xue's eyes widened and he shouted instantly. At this time, the four gods and other section chiefs looked at King Xue with confused expressions.

"She wants the truth out!"

As soon as King Xue finished speaking, Le Xiao on the screen took a deep breath.

Today I am going to tell the biggest lie since I was born. This is the only way I can do it!

"In general, the recent surge in patients, mainly among the lower class, is actually caused by eating poisonous food. This is a follow-up to the previous accident, but don't worry, our excellent doctors from the 4 departments have already Be prepared to deal with it!”
