Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

A large mountain appeared in the distance, surrounded by large and small peaks, with an altitude of about 1,000 meters. From a distance, there were roads winding up, with many large and small foothills on both sides of the road. There are many houses above, and this place looks more like a place where people live. There are also neat wooden houses at the bottom of the mountain, but most of the wooden houses have aged badly, and most of the houses have been repaired with cloth and iron sheets.

Although it was still a bit cool, the temperature had reached 7 degrees. Gene walked slowly over. There was a scent of aroma wafting in the air, and food was being cooked in small stone stoves and iron pots.

The mines are not exhausted. You can still find some coal at the bottom of the pit. Picking some out can be enough for a few days.

Most people will pour part of the liquid food into a pot, then mix it with water, make it into porridge and drink it, which has some nutrition and can fill the stomach.

As soon as Jean reached the edge of the town, seven or eight fierce-looking people came over.

"You need to pay two cans of liquid to enter the town."

Jean didn't say much. He took out two cans of liquid food from his backpack and was released. There is a relatively large barrier area occupied here. The number of mutants exceeds 300. The last time Jean came to talk about the barrier When the armed forces in the district were in power, this force also left. Under the control of these armed forces, the people here lived a pretty good life.

It's just the same everywhere. Only those at the top can live a good and stable life. It's always the people at the bottom who are exploited.

"Old man, do you know where Guan Tong's family lives?"

Jean walked up to the old men who were sitting by the stove waiting for the water to boil, and asked softly. The old man turned his head and looked at Jean with some surprise, then looked around with a sly look, and waved to Jean.

"You are looking for Guan Tong, she is here, but you have to give me a can of liquid food."

Gene took out a can from his backpack, and the old man pointed to the long wooden house at the end of the road to the mine on the main street of the town.

"She's right there. I said, young man, where are you from? You shouldn't be from the east, right?"

Jean didn't answer but walked away directly. Although he felt a little weird, when he just asked the name Guan Tong, the old man suddenly showed a look of fear.

There are always people staring at Jean along the way. These places where armed forces are entrenched have their own order. Basically, the local people will not mess around. On the contrary, those places without managers are very chaotic.

The ground in Mining Town is all black. It has been like this since the mining began a long time ago. The ground is covered with crushed coal gravel, which makes it creak when you walk on it.

Gene walked all the way up, and he still vaguely remembered that the big room was where the former managers of Mining Town worked.

The bottom of the wooden house is empty, separated from the ground by tens of centimeters. The wooden house's feet are supported by metal pillars. There are many people gathered outside the wooden house, all of them look fierce, and they are all sitting at some old tables playing cards. There were many cans of liquid food.

Jean stepped forward in one step, and immediately everyone outside the wooden house stared at Jean warily.

"Is Guan Tong here?"

The moment Jean finished speaking, a big man came over gearing up.

"Boy, what are you doing with our boss?"

Gene was a little surprised, but the big man put his hand on Gene's shoulder with a malicious look on his face, and everyone else gathered around him.

"Sorry, I'll just go on my way."

The big man's eyes widened in an instant. Just as the dozen or so people next to him were about to take action, their vision went dark, and they fell to the ground one by one. Gene walked over slowly.

"what do you want to do?"

Leaning at the door of the wooden house was a woman with regular features, a red headscarf, and short hair. Her face was relatively clean and there was no dirt caused by soot. She was wearing a thick jacket and a pair of baggy trousers, and her eyes were wide. Staring at Jean sharply.

"It's a wonderful telekinesis attack. It only takes 1 second to kill them. It's just that you showed mercy. Sir, I am Guan Tong. What do you want from me?"

There were people around now, and Gene stepped forward.

"Let your men leave and let's talk alone."

Among the many people who came out of the room, Jean saw the bald man who had gone to the last interview, staring at Jean with an angry expression.

"This guy is the boss"

Guan Tong raised his hands and then smiled.

"Come in with me."

The woman's voice was a little hoarse, and Gene slowly walked into the room.

Liquid food, water, and many empty cans were piled in many places in the house. There were some shabby sofas and chairs. Guan Tong sat directly on the chair at the top.

"Any cigarettes? Gene."

Jean walked over slowly, took out the cigarette case, and put it on the table. Guan Tong took it over and opened it with joy. He took all the more than 20 cigarettes inside and threw them to Jean. One stick.

"It's your brother Guan Wei, saying that his sister is here and he died in the line of duty."

Guan Tong lit a cigarette and smoked it leisurely, lying on the sofa and snorted.

"It turns out to be that guy Guan Wei. He has been gone for more than 10 years. What kind of brother is he? Our mother died in the third month after he left. There has been no news for several years. She said she joined some bullshit special affairs department. , after the mission is completed, we can be taken to the city to enjoy the blessings. Even if we die, we are free from worries now."

Jean took out a light and shadow locker. After opening it, Guan Tong looked at it doubtfully. In addition to liquid food, there were a lot of food inside. She hurried over, grabbed a sausage and put it towards her mouth. Li Sai, there were many people outside the house watching and swallowing greedily.

"Do you know the people from the Special Affairs Department who came here to select talents before?"

Guan Tong smiled.

"Those guys come here every few years. As long as they give you food, they can be whoever they want. I don't care. Jean, I have to thank you. We also got a lot of food before. If nothing happens, you'd better leave. Well, we don’t welcome you here.”

"When's the next time they come over?"

"I'm not sure. The last time I came here was more than two years ago. If there is any news, please go to the East Guard Station to inform them and find a way to keep them."

Guan Tong sneered.

"Okay, I'll help you Jean. My brother died working for you, right? Although the work was not completed, he still got some credit. I can help you, but I need a permit to move into Bright City. I just need Just one will do.”

Gene nodded, stood up, put away the cabinet and planned to leave.

"By the way, Jean, how did Guan Wei die in the end?"
