Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

January 1, 2192

"I've already paid my taxes."

A supermarket owner looked at a group of administrators blocking the entrance of his supermarket. A management officer smiled, took a red pen, and began to draw a straight line in the supermarket, all the way to the back door of the supermarket.

"Sir, we are from District 61, and you are at the junction with District 62. Based on your area calculation, you have to pay 53% of the tax to us and 47% to District 62."

The boss looked at the managers in front of him with an innocent face, and he couldn't express his sorrow.

"Forget it, we just came here to inform you that we hope you can pay us the taxes for December last year as soon as possible."

Although the boss wanted to say that he had paid all the taxes to District 62, he also knew that the door of his supermarket faced District 61. He did not want to be ordered to make corrections and close the store later, so he nodded in agreement.

In October last year, Bright City was officially divided into 120 districts. This city with a distance of 200 kilometers from north to south and 300 kilometers from east to west, with a total area of ​​more than 60,000 square kilometers, was divided into 120 major districts, with the eastern part of farmland occupies nearly 10,000 square kilometers of cultivated land, and the average area of ​​120 regions is 280 square kilometers.

However, the flow of people has always been concentrated in the south and west. The south was gradually formed due to the large-scale mining of mineral resources in the barrier area when the city was first established, while the west has now built a large number of factories and is a particularly developed industrial area. .

The north is the first choice for most people to buy land and build houses on the ground floor, but most people who work have difficulty going home once a year.

The wealthiest people are the upper class, and a large number of corporate families are located in the 20 differentiated districts of the upper class.

Children can be seen everywhere on the streets. After most people at the bottom have a better life, a family may have two or three children. After the 120 large districts are divided, part of the district's after-tax tax will be given to the children in the local area. With our nutrition education subsidy, the number of newborns in the city has increased by nearly 1 million in the past five years.

Nowadays, there is such a thing as liquid food, food prices on the market have been stabilized, various liquid food companies have emerged, and fresh products are constantly coming out.

Many people are quite excited because the first movie in the city will be released at 8 o'clock tonight. Although there have been some entertainment activities such as stage plays before, most audiences are still looking forward to the movie. Although in some markets in the city, There are still some movies floating around from centuries ago, but most people have already seen them.

Many people have already purchased movie tickets on their home TV devices, and plan to get together with the whole family to watch this first movie.

Watching the managers finally leave, crowds of people outside the supermarket swarmed in and began to buy large quantities of meat on the shelves. This year, meat production also began to increase significantly. Thanks to biological proliferation technology, Six kinds of meat, including pigs, chickens, ducks, fish, beef and sheep, can even be eaten by people at the bottom.

Within a few minutes, the fresh meat on the shelves was sold out. The boss looked happily at the long queue of people buying. At this time, the boss looked a little uncomfortable as more than a dozen guys with fierce eyes left. Come in, the guy in the lead said with a smile.

"Business is booming, boss."

The angry look on the boss's face immediately turned into a smile. He took out a small brown paper bag from his pocket and handed it to the other party. After the other party opened it, he counted it and found that there were more than 10,000 yuan.

"Boss, your business will continue to prosper this year."

Watching a bunch of people leaving with smiles and grabbing rice cakes from a shelf, the salesperson on the side hurriedly chased after them.

"You haven't paid yet."

Several people turned around instantly.

"Damn cripple, are you looking for death?"

The boss hurried over and pulled over this young man named Ran Zhi, who had just come to work three months ago.

"Forget it, you don't want to think about how your leg is lame."

Ran Zhi knew very well that he was not lame in his legs, but it still hurt when he walked, and he still needed some time to recuperate. But he had to work, and finally he found a job in this middle-level supermarket in the south.

Because he still has a food wholesale license, Ran Zhi has been relying on this license to make a living before he became lame, earning five to six hundred a month. However, since his leg was broken, he has temporarily stopped working, and his wife has not I drove a truck alone to do wholesale in the east. Later, with this food license, the boss here hired him, and the salary of people with food licenses working in this supermarket was 200 RMB a month higher than ordinary people. There is 600, but the wholesale food must be supplied to the supermarket at the price set by the supermarket.

"What are you so angry about? Spend money to keep yourself safe."

The boss said, seeing that there were not many goods in the supermarket, he asked Ran Zhi to go home. Ran Zhi limped on the motorcycle behind the supermarket, and returned home after a while. It's very cheap. A large high-rise apartment of 120 square meters only costs 150 a month.

"Why are you back?"

His wife Ding Manman, who was busy in the kitchen, came out with a smile. There was no furniture in the living room, only a set of tables and chairs, and a 21-inch home TV.

"Everything in the supermarket was sold out as soon as it opened this morning. The boss asked me to come back early."

As the wise man spoke, he walked to the bedroom and looked at his daughter who was still sleeping soundly on the bed and his little son who was just born last year. The sunlight filtered through the glass softly and sprinkled on the gray ground. The wise man held on to the door frame with a solemn look in his eyes. It also contains sadness.

It's another year, and this year's life is a little better than in the past. At this time, a pair of hands gently hugged him from behind. Ran Zhi held his wife's hand, and Ding Manman buried her head in Ran Zhi's broad back.

The originally smiling expression darkened, and his wife behind him snorted softly as if comforting him.

"hug"

Ran Zhi shook his head, turned around, and kissed his wife on the forehead.

"Go get me something to eat, I'm hungry."

His wife picked up her smile again. Ran Zhi watched his wife go to the kitchen tenderly, the gentleness on his face disappeared, and his bloodshot eyes stared at the sunlight shining on the ground.

The memory once again returned to the exact same morning a year ago. On the first day of the new year, my wife was supposed to come back at 8 o'clock after attending the party in the evening. However, it was not until 1 o'clock in the morning the next night that my wife came back in a state of despair.

The bad premonition came true. His wife cried herself to sleep that night. Ran Zhi said nothing, just sat in the wheelchair and looked at his wife quietly.

The corners of Ran Zhi's mouth opened slightly and rose slightly. The smile was still there, but the smile was no longer in his eyes, and the smile looked a little weird.

Ran Zhi stretched out a hand and grabbed the sun again. This time there was still nothing, and the world in front of him began to look a little gray.

In February last year, Ran Zhi finally stood up. Late one night, he opened a door where his wife would come home late from time to time. He only remembered that he just walked in and took his wife from there. After returning home, he quit his job at the transportation station and took his wife back to work in food wholesale.

"Just destroy it, everything like this."

"What's wrong, honey!"

His wife's voice came from the kitchen, and Ran Zhi regained his consciousness. At this time, the little son by the window started to move, opened his eyes, and started crying. Ran Zhi walked over quickly and hugged 2 lovingly. one month old son.

Gradually, the son stopped crying and stared at Ran Zhi quietly with his big, watery eyes.

"Fry, get up quickly. There is a worker who was injured at the construction site."

Accompanied by a piercing cry.

Swish

The curtains were pulled open, and Frye stood up in horror. He looked at Nabe who had already put on surgical clothes and a mask with a red face. He quickly stood up.

The two quickly arrived at the operating room in the clinic. At this time, a worker whose legs were pierced by sharp metal and was still bleeding was wailing in pain. He looked at the two with sad eyes.

"Sir, you are very lucky. If you were sent to other places, you would definitely have to have your legs amputated, but you won't need to do it here."

As Nabe spoke, Fry quickly prepared all the surgical supplies. The two began to use a cutting machine to cut off the sharp parts of the metal objects, then cut open the patient's bones and took out all the metal objects.

The operation lasted from 8 a.m. to 12 noon, and then ended. The worker's legs were saved. As soon as he returned to the clinic, there was already a long queue of patients outside. The two began to return to their respective clinics and began to treat the patients. People see doctors.

This is District 66 in the southeast, close to the eastern farm where they live. Two years ago, the two opened a small five-story clinic here. Because of their superb medical skills, the two people lined up here every day. There were long queues, and the medical prices were much cheaper than those at nearby hospitals.

Frye looked at the patient in front of him carefully and listened to his description. He already knew roughly what kind of disease it was. Next, he only needed to go through specific tests and he could prescribe the right medicine for the disease. He would use a variety of drugs and take a small amount of each. Dosage, mixed treatment, the effect is very fast, and the side effects of the drug on the human body will be minimized.

Only Fry can do this. Nabe often records the patient's diagnosis in detail, and then Fry prescribes medicine.

After the two were busy for another hour, at 1 o'clock, they couldn't hold it any longer. They planned to have a meal and rest for half an hour before continuing to see the doctor. At this time, a short and fat man was crowding at the door. Dui walked in.

"Doctor Fry, Dr. Nabe, haha."

The fat man is the director of a nearby hospital. In the past few months, he has been pestering the two of them, hoping that they can work in the hospital. He has provided very generous conditions. He is a member of the Hillman family and their father. Kuhl also knew him. Now Kuhl is committed to drug research, Nabe will go back at 6 o'clock to assist his father in research, and Frye stays in the clinic almost every day.

Looking at the half-eaten liquid food on the table for the two of them, the dean hurriedly said that he could hire a professional chef for the two of them every day. He just hoped that they would work in the hospital.

"roll!"

Nabe's direct words made the dean leave helplessly. Frye just smiled on the side, and Nabe rode a chair in front of Frye.

"Are you mute? Why do you have to say this to me every time?"

As Nabe grabbed Frye's nose, Frye was a little embarrassed. Nabe kept twisting Frye's nose, like a plasticine-like neck. After being pinched flat, it returned to its original shape after a while. Looking at Nabe With a grin on his face, Fry smiled awkwardly.

The nose was made using an NDA active substance restoration technology jointly developed by father and daughter. The surgeries on Frye's face and legs were successful. The scars on his face are gone and his legs are back to normal.

"Where are we going to play tonight?"

“So many patients”

Nabe snorted coldly.

"You're such a big piece of wood, you're pissing me off."

Fry looked at the coquettish Nabe and just smiled. After Nabe saw the patients still waiting in the clinic, he sighed.

"I won't go back tonight. Let's see the doctor together until late at night."

Frye nodded, drank the liquid food in one gulp, and walked out to continue seeing the patients. Nabe planned to take a nap.

"When will that idiot be smarter and willing to propose to me?"

There was a sense of helplessness and sourness in Nabe's words. Frye was good at everything, but he was taciturn. He obviously had feelings for him, but he never expressed them with his mouth. He only showed them in his life.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the door. Nabe's sleepiness was gone. She stood up and walked out of the rest room. She saw Jean squatting on the ground, and the two little girls lying on his back got off his back. .

"Sorry Nabe, it's obviously nap time now."

Nabe laughed helplessly.

"Mr. Jean, when did you change your job to be a nanny?"

Mo Xiao looked at everything around him with some fear. She was afraid when she came to a place like this because she was most afraid of doctors. Alpha came over with a smile on his face and said hello to Nabe.

Nabe then walked out and took over Frye's treatment, while Frye walked in and took Jean and the two little girls to an examination room on the second floor.

"Sorry Fry, I bother you every time."

Frye just nodded. Gene pushed Alpha's back. She pulled off her coat and stretched out her arms. When Frye was ready, he began to extract Alpha's blood and start testing.

The alienated genes in Alpha's body are becoming more and more unstable, and symptoms of power agitation often occur. Currently, they do not have any solution, but the young man in front of him can use some mixed drugs to temporarily suppress the alienated genes, because as he grows, , the alienated genes in the body begin to increase, and some of the drugs in the college will only have the opposite effect on situations like Alpha.

"Would you like to come to our school, Frye?"

Gene took advantage of the gap to ask. Frye was a little surprised and just smiled and shook his head.

"Mr. Jean, people like me are too conservative and not suitable for conducting medical research."

Gene smiled. This young man was low-key and reserved, with a gentle personality and a kind person. He just didn't get more accurate and systematic medical knowledge.

"It's not a big problem, Mr. Jean. I will prepare some medicine later and let this little sister take it."

Mo Xiao looked at the many instruments around him and felt inexplicably irritated. He looked at Alpha's face when he was drawing blood just now, and his expression didn't change. He would have cried if he had done it.

"Where are we going to play Uncle Gene today?"

Alpha smiled and raised his head.

"Today I will take you to a place to see."

Alpha stood up excitedly, and Mo Xiao said.

"Uncle Gene, why don't we go home? Today I just want to lie on the sofa and watch TV all day."

"Xiao Lazy, you should exercise well, otherwise your body will be very fragile in the future."

Alpha turned his head and raised a finger with a preaching look. Mo Xiao looked at Alpha with some disgust, but still didn't show it. She really still hated Alpha.

"Why is so much information missing? Are you doing your job properly?"

King Xue looked at the pile of materials on the table quietly. He had completed the review one morning and compared it with the records on the Internet. It turned out that most of the information was missing. The bunch of management officials who were as young as King Xue in front of him were a bit confused. He looked unhappily at the special inspector who suddenly came over this morning to review things in the local neighborhood.

"Your Excellency King Xue, because many things are not complete yet, so..."

"I don't mean to embarrass you. Okay, I'll take these materials back with you. I'll come back after a while."

King Xue said as he picked up the hat on the table and smiled gently. At this time, the manager immediately came over, took out a small paper bag from his pocket, and stuffed it into King Xue's pocket.

"We are all colleagues. There is no need to embarrass anyone. Is it your Excellency King Xue who is having a big holiday?"

King Xue smiled and nodded. However, the moment he walked out of the management office, the expression on King Xue's face froze. He squeezed the money in his pocket tightly, which turned out to be as much as 20,000.

"No matter what era it is, it's the same. Guys who only have money in their eyes are just garbage."

King Xue walked slowly towards a car reserved for inspectors. He saw a beggar begging on the side of the road. No one was giving alms to anyone passing by. King Xue walked over casually and threw the money in his pocket. A beggar begging from a bowl.

The beggar was confused at first, but when he picked up the paper bag, he trembled with fear and hurriedly pulled King Xue's leg.

"Sir, this is me"

"It's nothing. I'm in a good mood today. This money is for you."

The beggar knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. After King Xue quickly got into the car, he drove the car quickly towards the nearby college. During this time, the gods were conducting research underground. If they couldn't spare time, King Xue had already run away. There are nearly 40 districts, each with a minimum of four to five thousand and a maximum of ten to twenty thousand.

It's just that when King Xue went out, he changed hands and gave it to beggars, prostitutes, and some miserable people. In King Xue's understanding, he would never want anything given to him by rubbish, so he gave it to him casually based on his mood. other people.

"Why is there always so much rubbish in the world? It's so overwhelming!"

The car was driving slowly on the road. At this time, a quarrel broke out on the street. A woman was arguing with several men. King Xue stopped the car and stuck his head out of the window with a smile.

"Hey, Miss Whit, what happened?"
