Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

In the dark edge of the western bottom, Michelle covered her nose and stared quietly at Jean, who was smoking silently in front of her and raising her head.

Gene's eyes exuded azure light, and beautiful blue crystal particles were flying in the breeze, like ribbons, and like bright stars in the dark night sky.

Michelle put on the liquid form-changing glasses and could clearly see everything around her. The wind carried a disgusting smell.

Liquid form-changing glasses that exude a faint red light. This is another amazing technology of humans in Bright City in addition to the materialization of light and shadow. It can make many small objects, and even some larger objects, in the form of liquid. , it is compressed and stored in a special substance the size of a fingernail shell. It is easy to carry. When used, the liquid will start to change shape and return to objects as long as it is touched slightly.

This technology was first used in firearms technology. It was first developed by the military, but later it was gradually used in cities. However, these things are not as materialized as light and shadow. They are safer and can be controlled. This technology was previously open to the public. At that time, it was used by criminals and caused great harm to the city, so it is now under the strict control of the 5th Public Security Management Section, because after being compressed and liquefied, it is only the size of a fingernail and is easy to carry.

The huge ravine in front of us with a width of 5 kilometers is like a moat, surrounding the Brilliant City. The stones for all the buildings in the city come from this deep ravine. From the beginning of the establishment of the Brilliant City, it was planned by a genius. Under the leadership of the master, everything for the entire city 300 years later was planned.

This deep trench has been mined by humans for hundreds of years to build houses. Because the west is an industrial area, stone mining has stopped and is used to discharge waste from the entire city, except for the south and east where the terrain is higher than here. In addition, there are remote northern areas where waste can be discharged.

Because of the terrain, a large amount of waste will flow to the west. The stench here is now terrible. It is about tens of thousands of meters deep. As long as the wind blows, the stench will permeate the town behind it, so it is also called It's a stench area.

In the extremely desolate and stinky area, there are only some places where the firelight is flickering. Most families will gather together at night to burn some garbage brought from the barrier area for lighting.

Seven or eight kilometers away from here is the West Guard Station. Michelle looked at Jean with a worried look on her face. She had already taken out the rope from the light and shadow storage box and started to find a place to fix it.

Michelle couldn't imagine what it would be like to directly enter the waste discharge pipe. In the middle-level western industrial zone, there are many places where Sanlian Company's production and distribution factories are located.

"Lord Jean, forget it, even you."

Gene said with a smile.

"Michelle, did you know that two centuries ago, there was a kind of worker in human society, the sewer worker. Their job was to deal with blockages or other problems in the smelly sewers."

Michelle started retching. She couldn't bear the stench one after another, and she couldn't even imagine what Jean said about the sewer workers.

Jean had made up his mind to search for particle-level chemical raw materials in the sewers. In the afternoon, after he and Ji Mo, the chief of the 9th Business Department, learned about the situation, they went straight to the hospital to figure out the current situation. The number of potential patients is probably in the millions. This symptom is more suspicious of poisoning, so it is very important to understand the industrial ratio of particle levels. Just touch the waste disposal pipeline under the manufacturing workshop of Sanlian Company. It can be seen at a glance what kind of industrial raw materials they used.

If you want to enter such a large enterprise investigation, you have to force your way in, or apply for an investigation order with Congress, but both of these will make the problem self-inflicted. Before a bigger storm comes, Ji En will En must find a way to deal with the storm.

After fixing the rope, Gene planned to go down.

"Lord Jean, you can't do it for those untouchables."

Gene lit a cigarette and tilted his head with a smile.

"Michelle, Section 13 exists to solve problems. Since those businessmen do not intend to hand over any industrial raw material ratios, continuing to investigate is just a waste of time. Go down below and everything can be determined quickly. If we develop an antidote, the problem can be solved one day earlier. If we just sit back and wait for death, 10 million hungry and angry people will start rioting day and night. Which one is more serious?"

Gene said, grabbing the rope and jumping down. He slipped down in an instant, very fast. He relied on the images in his memory to quickly stop at a large excretion pipe one kilometer away. The pipe was more than ten meters high. , with a number 36 printed next to it, which is the discharge pipe of the industrial area.

Sure enough, as soon as Jean approached the mouth of the pipe, he felt a strong pungent smell coming to his nostrils. After he took the last puff of cigarette, he stepped into the pipe in an instant, and his blue eyes burst out. A fierce blue light came and made a sizzling sound. Jean looked at the clothes on his body, which had been corroded by the violent chemicals in the air. He took a step and felt a sticky feeling under his feet, and his shoes began to feel sticky. corrosion.

Gene smiled, suddenly started running, and quickly entered the pipe. Soon he came to the fork. There were several huge black pipes five meters wide. He accurately found the underground pipe leading to the western factory area. road.

Time passed by, and Gene kept running. His clothes were almost corroded, his skin was exposed, and some places began to become scorched black. If an ordinary person came into this place, he might not be able to survive for even one minute. Neither can survive.

The air is filled with violent particles of various chemical substances. If these toxic particles are inhaled, lung infection may occur.

Although Jean could move faster, he gave up because these fragile pipes could not withstand his power.

Michelle looked at the rope anxiously. She had already reported the current situation to Locke, and she always felt vaguely uneasy. Maybe this is a woman's nature, she couldn't resist, and the biggest reason was that Michelle didn't understand. , even if some people die, the 4th Medical Department has begun to collect serum from some people who have developed antibodies in their bodies after eating special foods. An antidote can be developed in a few months at most. At that time, the maximum number of deaths will be It's only up to 200,000, and most of them are people at the bottom, so it's not worth what Jean does.

The 4th Medical Department has sent the top medical experts over in a lift.

A violent roar pierced the sky. At this moment, people in the town behind them also woke up. A large oval-shaped helicopter with a pair of wings flew over and slowly landed. Many residents in the stench area They all came out, but soon as the helicopter landed, a voice shouted.

"Put up a cordon and anyone who dares to cross the cordon will be shot."

Michelle frowned and looked over with a serious face. A strong gust of wind blew past. Soldiers from Section 3 wearing black uniforms and armed with live ammunition immediately erected a human wall and set up a cordon. They began to drive away the people who came to watch.

Following closely behind her was Niya, the section chief of the 5th Public Security Management Section. She walked out of the cabin wearing only her coat, with a button on her chest, a cigarette in her mouth, and many people from the 5th Section behind her. Then came out.

Immediately, more and more onlookers gathered, many of them with a trying attitude, Niya strode towards Tianhen.

"Get away from Tianhen, the city is our department's territory."

Seeing that something was wrong, Michelle walked over quickly, but the strong smell of disinfectant made Michelle feel cold all over. A man wearing a white coat, with his hands in his pockets, walked out of the lift. A silver-haired man walked out with a smile, exuding an elegant temperament, and a sense of nobility in his movements.

"Why did you come here in person, Lord Huashen?"

Michelle looked at the man in front of her in surprise. Hua Shen, the chief of the 4th Medical Department, is the leading medical expert in Glorious City and an innovator in medicine. He has invented countless drugs and medical technologies. He is like a god. The man is as gorgeous as his name.

Huashen smiled and turned his head and shouted.

"You two, stop arguing and persuade the people watching to go home. I don't want tomorrow's headlines to be about tonight's events."

In the end, Tianhen compromised, and soon the personnel of Section 5 quickly entered the city, began to persuade the onlookers, and searched all their media equipment, because someone had just secretly taken pictures. In the end, due to manpower, Section 3 People from the military department also joined in.

Huashen stood by the gully and looked down thoughtfully.

"How long has Gene been down there?"

"1 hour and 37 minutes."

Huashen nodded and sat down cross-legged with a relaxed smile on his face.

"The reason why I came here is, firstly, to obtain first-hand information, to ensure it is accurate, and to immediately know the toxicity of chemical raw materials that invade the human body and other things, and secondly, to prevent certain things from happening."

Michelle looked at Huashen doubtfully and didn't ask any more questions.

There was a violent coughing and wheezing sound, and Jean picked up the particle level analyzer with difficulty. There was no good skin on his body anymore, and he was walking hard in the black liquid that was thick around his waist, and the corners of his mouth continued to overflow. Come blood.

"Oops, I'm a little confused."

As he spoke, Gene took out a cigarette, lit it, and just took a puff. He immediately coughed out blood. He smiled slightly, and was about to lose consciousness, but suddenly his eyes widened, and there was a bang. The viscous liquid in his body bounced away instantly, as if it was stopped by a force, but soon the pipe wall creaked and cracks appeared in some places.

"Ellie, it's enough to bleed day and night. Human beings, who have finally managed to stand in the sun, have to return to an era of only killing. I will never allow this to happen."

A little bit, Jean fell into the mud again. If the pipeline was damaged, the industrial area in the west would be in disaster. He could only continue to move forward, but the pipeline in front of him came very quickly, and when he left, But extremely difficult.

"Probably 70% to 80% are infected."

Pimples appeared on Gene's face, and blood seeped out of his pores from time to time. He still kept smiling, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and continued to move forward. In the dark and lightless sewer, the only thing that could light the way was Only his eyes were glowing blue.

There was a snapping sound, and Jean's feet felt slippery. In an instant, he slipped to the main pipe. The huge main pipe was only about 500 meters long and straight. Jean breathed a sigh of relief. With a thought, his body turned into a violent wave. The stream of light rushed outside with a bang like a rocket being launched.

With a loud bang, Jean had rushed out of the pipe, holding the rope firmly with one hand. A bright white beam instantly hit the opposite mountain wall, and there was a violent explosion, and the flames shot into the sky.

There was a tug, and Jean felt someone pulling him up. When he reached the edge, the blood bubbles on Jean's face had disappeared, and the blackened areas on his body had begun to heal themselves, and a hand grabbed him.

"It's really dangerous, you walking human nuclear bomb."

Jean walked up with a smile and stood up straight. Not far away, a pot of porridge had become a mess. Michelle looked at Jean in shock, but for some reason, she was extremely excited inside. She was in awe. He walked over quickly and put a coat with 13 on it on Gene.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Jean."

"Is it enough?"

A machine the size of a small bench with countless tentacle-like machines is being fiddled with by Huashen.

"Well, that's enough. I can make the antidote in three hours at most after I get back."

At this moment, a cigarette was thrown from a distance, like a bullet. Gene caught it between his fingers and put it to his mouth. Niya walked over slowly.

"Don't interfere anymore, Jean. I'm begging you. Congress has just issued an orange alert, and the whole city has begun to enter the alert period."

Looking at the blood spilling from the corner of Jean's mouth, Niya felt terrified.

"Go back and recuperate for a few days, Gene."

Huashen behind him stood up and said with a smile.

"How about I give you an injection of Jean? You will recover faster."

At this time, many members of the department who had gathered around looked at the distance with wide eyes. Where there was still smoke and fire, a large piece of the mountain wall was dented, as if it had been hit by a missile.

Gene walked slowly, tilted his head and looked at Huashen and said with a smile.

"No, I'm most afraid of injections."

Jean walked behind Tianhen. As soon as Tianhen turned around, Jean took off his coat and wrapped it around him.

"I'll lend you your coat."

The moment Tian Hen turned around furiously, the Jean people were nowhere to be found.

"You two, when you go back, tell your men that nothing will happen tonight. Do you understand?"

Niya looked back at the mountain wall again and waved her hands helplessly.
