Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"Look!"

A few young people who had just walked out of the pub, one of the women pointed to the Capitol Hill. At this time, several others who were still talking and laughing stopped and stopped to look over. Everyone looked at it in surprise. There is a light blue light from the west.

"Strange, why does that pillar that has never been lit up glow?"

More and more people saw that around the bright white light on Capitol Hill, directly to the west, there was a blue light pillar, which was breathing and shining slightly.

Congress has never given any explanation for why this pillar does not light up. There is only one rumor that is more reliable, that is, when the gods disagree in their decision-making, this pillar will light up. This is the current theory. It is the most popular and sounds more reliable.

Gil and many directors came to the top floor of Section 5 headquarters, and everyone looked down at the pillar that glowed light blue.

"Why did the principal go to Congress?"

Gene asked, and the director named Qin Xiaoxuan next to him said with a smile.

"Needless to say! It must be about the Angus family."

Not only the 5th subject, but also the directors of all other subjects noticed this pillar that emitted a faint blue light. All the students of the God's Academy knew that Jean's character was unlikely to be influenced by the world. , to intervene in this position, so Jean said on the day they graduated that if the Congress is established, the position of subject 13 will always be absent, allowing students to use it according to their own opinions. These 10 tickets for 13 subjects.

But tonight, this incident shocked many people, because Gene has been absent from dozens of city meetings, but now he has entered the hall of Congress.

9:13

Freya covered her cheeks in excitement, and the chill that had been caused by the words of the gods was instantly eliminated.

Wu Qun looked at Freya's reaction with confusion, and many young people present were a little surprised. Most of the patriarchs in the family had serious expressions at this time, because many people knew Jean's identity and that he would step into the trap. Entering here means that there will be huge differences in the Angus family tonight.

Locke breathed a sigh of relief and whispered softly.

"finally come!"

Locke put his hands behind his back and began to make gestures towards Jean. After reminding Jean how far the meeting had progressed, Jean immediately understood. Jean knew this gesture very well. This was when he and Locke were playing around when they were children. A code word agreed upon by the two.

Everyone in the business department was extremely shocked, but the most shocked person was Alpha. The cigarette she held had already burned a lot. As the corners of Alpha's eyes twitched slightly and the ash fell, Jean had already walked to her. In front of him, he smiled at her, nodded slightly, and walked to Section 13.

The six gods in the middle were all staring at Jean, and the cyan god was the first to speak.

"Chief Jean, please don't interrupt the meeting for no reason!"

Jean took out a cigarette with a smile and nodded. At this time, the red god stood up directly. Violet, who was originally livid on the opposite side, seemed to see hope at this time. She brushed away the tears from the corner of her eyes with some emotion. Gene is still exactly the same as before, without any change. No matter what time, he always stands there, standing where everyone can see, and never leaves.

Jean brought up a light and shadow panel and quickly used the permissions to unlock the meeting records. However, before Jean finished browsing, the red god spoke directly.

"After discussion among the six of us, it is obviously unrealistic to use criminals who are currently serving sentences to work on the construction site. Even if the bill for prisoners serving sentences is three months, it cannot be repaired. This is against the law. In addition, the prisoners still need to adapt to such a project, which will not be possible in a short time.”

"I can do it alone!"

Gene stood up with one hand raised, and many people were shocked because Gene interrupted God's words for no reason.

"What do you mean, Chief Jean!"

Cyan God asked immediately.

"The purpose of our 13th Division's existence is to solve some complicated affairs in the city. Since the problem now lies with the Angus family, and their family's construction projects have been started intermittently, which has caused problems in the city's economic chain, then the problem lies with the Angus family. I will solve it. Our department does not need any funds, and I do not need any salary. I can help the Angus family complete the construction. At least some of the problems that have arisen so far, I will solve them one by one. Give me three Months are enough.”

Immediately the purple god chuckled.

"What can you do alone? The amount of work is huge."

"I will work for the Angus family for free, day and night, 24 hours a day, without any mistakes. If you all want to see my qualifications, they are all complete."

As he spoke, Gene used his authority to bring up a large light and shadow screen, which contained a lot of engineers' qualifications, ranging from mechanical to biological.

The yellow god laughed. At this time, the green god was obviously unable to sit still. The red god next to him kept standing.

"Even if you work 24 hours a day, it's impossible."

Gene smiled and blew out a puff of smoke.

"I still have a few trustworthy partners who have walked hand in hand with me all the way, but now they just want to live a stable life, but I am old friends with them, and they can also help me 24/7 Hours of work, without any gaps, plus me and our total of 7 people, it only takes three months to solve most of the problems of Angus construction. Of course, my trustworthy partners have the same qualifications as me. You can rest assured about the corresponding qualifications for construction!"

For a moment, everyone noticed that the six gods were looking at Jean blankly. No one spoke in the Congress Hall. Jean walked out slowly. Of course, the people in the business department understood the six trustworthy partners that Jean said. Who it is, they are right in front of them.

"I used to run around this city every day with these trustworthy partners. Although sometimes we had disagreements, no matter what time, we could always get things done, so I hope everyone will give me your support. The Angus family needs some time, I promise within three months! Everyone in the city will see the results."

Alpha pressed the edge of the table excitedly, feeling a surge of sadness in her heart. However, she did not shed tears and suppressed the excitement in her heart. This was the first time that she would feel despair, because she also knew that An What is the situation of the Gus family? He knows that his parents can no longer hold on.

"I believe everyone should have learned ancient history. Rome was not built in a day! My six trustworthy partners and I will take responsibility and solve the problem of Angus construction."

Alpha himself has thought of many ways, but no matter how he thinks about it, the problem this time the Angus family is facing is the problem of the city. When it comes to the huge problems of the city, the Angus family is completely powerless, and when the gods decide today The moment she dealt with the Angus family problem, Alpha found herself extremely vulnerable, and she couldn't even say a retort.

Gene walked to the stage next to Locke and stood up with a smile.

"The problems that are plaguing the Angus family now are technical problems, so the construction progress has been very slow. As long as there is a slight mistake in the technical problems, the progress of the project will be delayed indefinitely. We will solve it. Regarding these core points and technical issues, we will spare no effort to reach a safe range! Please give us some time."

Alpha clenched her fists. She didn't know what to say. The man in front of her was still the same as before. He was her mentor, the person she trusted the most, and the person who understood her best. But many times this man The mentor's behavior made Alpha a little sad. No matter what, he just stood there.

But this time it was different. When Alpha felt confused and powerless, his mentor stood up.

"The city is integrated, and it affects the whole body. Over the years, the Angus family has had many problems that have prevented the construction project from going smoothly, which has brought too much burden to the city. But our 13th Department was established for this purpose. Yes, I will find a way!"

The cyan god sighed.

"The meeting is temporarily suspended. Please come down below and see Section Chief Jean!"

As they spoke, the six gods instantly disappeared from their seats. Gene turned around with a smile and walked off the stage. He picked up the uniform at the table and put it on. When he passed Alpha, he stopped and walked away from the stage. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over, and Alpha stretched out his trembling hand.

"It's okay! Just leave it to me, Chief Alpha!"

Alpha hummed without any words. Gene walked to the door of the Congress Hall with a smile and pushed the door open. The moment he closed the door, fierce arguments rang out in the Congress Hall, and Gene closed his eyes. , these sounds disappeared after the door was closed.

Freya was moved and wiped her tears from time to time. Wu Qun choked with sobs. He knew very well that this man's charm changed the fate of the Angus family in just a moment. Wu Qun had seen such courage decades ago. After that, if there hadn't been this man on the rooftop that night, he might not have been able to sit here at all. He should still be the owner of a snack shop now.

"Can the Angus family survive smoothly?"

Lin Xiao muttered, Freya smiled and nodded.

"no problem!"

In a room located under the Congress Hall, Gene opened the door, and Tang Rao kicked him over.

"You idiot! What are you talking about in your sleep? I won't help you."

Gene let go of Tang Rao's instep and sat in with a smile. Rose raised a finger, and the wine came out of the bottle. The empty glass was quickly filled, and the wine overflowed. It was continuously divided into several strands on the table.

But soon Jean used telekinesis to put every drop of the spilled wine back into the full wine glass. The surface of the wine glass was like raised jelly, shaking softly.

"Jean is the same no matter what era. Both the majority and the minority are obliged to make sacrifices for the progress of the next era! It is precisely because of this that mankind has developed to this day, and it still continues in the face of catastrophes!"

As Rose said, Gene picked up the wine glass. After taking a big sip, there was only half a glass of wine left in the glass.

“I remember a long time ago, when we had our first drink together, we discussed the issues of power and money in our time!”

Gene said and sat down, Werther smiled and took the wine bottle to refill Gene.

"The times are changing, but what remains unchanged is the human heart. A city is like a water balloon. Water will swell on different surfaces of the balloon. It only takes a little force. But as the amount of water increases, when the water balloon is pressed, It will become more and more difficult. You should understand this, Gene. The Angus family has already lost in this zero-sum game. It is a total defeat. If you want to save them, the city will not be able to survive, especially at the bottom. , has begun to deteriorate.”

Gene picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp with a smile.

"How will you know if you don't try it? It took the seven of us half a century to build that barrier. Now that it has been established, the ecosystem has gradually stabilized, and those unknown threats have been temporarily blocked from the outside. Time is a good thing. Things, if we decide something arbitrarily because of temporary problems, there will be no regrets in the future!"

Tang Rao stared at Jean with a solemn expression.

"Your relationship with the Angus family has been relatively good for several generations, Gene, if you just pity the Angus family."

"What's wrong with pity! We were humans once, or as long as we had feelings, we were still humans! What does the Hillman family do?"

Gu Yi said with a smile.

"From a human perspective, everything their family has done is evil. In order to stand at the top, they stepped on the bones of countless people, even the Angus family took action, but from a city and business perspective , everything they do is in line with

Gene stood up, turned around and walked to the door.

"I need your help! In three months, we can solve all the technical problems in the construction of the southern part of the city. The choice between good and evil is constantly being played out during our countless journeys. If we only consider it for profit. , It doesn’t matter what you choose! But I would rather choose goodness, this is what Ellie has warned us countless times!”

Gene pushed the door open. At this time, the six guys behind him looked at Gene with some emotion. Deguna finally let go.

"Forget it, three months is just three months, we will help you Jean!"

Gene's expression became more relaxed. He looked back at the six guys behind him with a smile, and said thank you with a smile. Tang Rao followed quickly and put his arms around Gene's neck from the side.

"I can help you, but there is a condition! In the next ten years, you will handle the city's affairs!"

As soon as Tang Rao finished speaking, several other people showed joy. Gu Yi wanted to continue research on machinery, including those viruses that had destroyed mankind. Tang Rao wanted to run the flower shop well, and Witte wanted to continue Stay with Lolita, spend as much time with her as possible in her limited time.

Deguna wants to perfect everything in Angel Paradise as soon as possible, while Rose wants to continue running her own dessert shop. Looking at these energetic little girls every day, she will feel much better.

After hesitating for a moment, Gene nodded.

"I know, just leave it to me!"

9:29 pm

Ling Hong sat exhausted on the steps of an underground entrance. The battle had just ended and the team was cleaning everything in the basement. Ling Hong took out a cigarette, lit it and leaned against the cold wall. Above, the white light coming from the basement stretched Ling Hong's shadow upwards, twisting and turning up the stairs.

The fortress' advance encirclement and suppression operation was only halfway through, and before even approaching the giant metal tower in the middle, the number of casualties had already climbed to 302, of which 87 died.

The basement here is nearly 50 meters above the ground. It looks like a huge underground palace below. This is something Ling Hong did not expect. The bombing obviously did not have much effect and could only slowly promote the cleanup. The criminals obviously did not Will surrender.

Now we can only wait until the headquarters brings over the old map of the Hillman family's past fortress. Just when Ling Hong was about to rest for a few minutes, bursts of gunfire came from outside. Ling Hong quickly went up. Protective steel armor had been built around the underground entrance, and a flame appeared in the night sky.

Sure enough, the enemy had equipment to detect optical camouflage, and one of the floaters was shot down. After Ling Hong confirmed the position, she quickly jumped into the air, but soon followed by bursts of gunfire, Ling Hong could only temporarily jump to one side. In the house, the enemy was shooting at an abandoned house more than 400 meters away.

Now we have to find the exhaust outlet of the enemy's underground palace. Once found, we can easily break through by injecting sleeping gas directly into the exhaust outlet. There is a metal concrete layer nearly 10 meters thick underground here. The geology It was obvious that rock coagulant was used to make this underground fortress stronger, so these criminals were emboldened.

In just a few years, this place has become so troublesome. No one expected that such a thing would happen in this desolate barrier area. Zijuan has already issued an order to annihilate them all. As long as If they don't surrender, they will be completely annihilated. The cost of this battle is too huge. Section 10 has already deployed detection robots carrying high-energy explosives, which will be delivered soon. Once these robots are put in, the underground will instantly become Purgatory.

She had been looking for the exhaust vent of the enemy's underground facility for more than an hour, but still could not find it. Ling Hong did not continue to attack to find the enemy. Instead, she quietly leaned against the second-floor window of a broken house and smoked silently. Smoking.

Everyone was tired and just wanted to end it as soon as possible. Everyone was looking forward to receiving the order to retreat. Ling Hong herself was the same, but she didn't think too much, but faithfully carried out the order, or so she would. Make it easy for her.

Once you have started, you cannot stop. This is the consensus of everyone from the beginning until there is no result. Except for Osman's current resistance, Ling Hong cannot imagine how far this result is.

Ling Hong looked at the time again. It was 9:39. Time passed very slowly. Every minute was worrying. Gunshots rang out again, but the people in Section 3 did not respond. These gunshots should be used for luring. The enemy seems to have a commander with a pretty good head. With the help of this huge and intricate underground facility, he has been able to fight with them who are well-equipped with weapons and equipment until now, and even drag the battle into a quagmire.

"It's not okay yet!"

Another minute passed. Ling Hong threw away the cigarette butt restlessly. The moment she jumped out of the room, her figure began to blur. She had already put on her goggles and determined the location of the enemy. She quickly and silently Moving.

Looking at the numerical value on the goggles, it was getting closer and closer. However, the moment Ling Hong passed a place, she saw a reddish ray in the corner of her eye, and all she could think of at that moment was the heat detector.

Didi didi

Along with a burst of mechanical sound, there was an instant whooshing sound. Ling Hong's left and right sides and front suddenly lit up with fiery red light. Three small rockets flew over quickly, accompanied by bursts of gunfire. , Ling Hong appeared, and instantly the red particles on the surface of her body overflowed.

Bah

Following a violent burst of lightning, the approaching bullets and small rockets seemed to be sucked into the air, completely suspended in the air. Ling Hong bent her legs, and something appeared on the metal building less than 500 meters away from Ling Hong. A shaking figure.

With a loud crackling sound, Ling Hong instantly turned into a red lightning and flew out in a zigzag manner, and a violent explosion sounded behind him.

boom

Accompanied by a violent knocking sound, the huge and thick metal door of the metal building dented, and bursts of footsteps could be heard from inside. In order to avoid large-scale casualties throughout the day, Ling Hong could only run around the battlefield. , after determining the location of the enemy and clearing it immediately, she released her fist from hitting the metal door.

Ling Hong couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't continue to implement the tactical plan. She had to deal with the problem here as soon as possible.

With a sizzling sound, and accompanied by waves of heat, red thunder and lightning began to gather on Ling Hong's fist. The metal door under the depression was now emitting bursts of black smoke, and a large amount of red appeared on the surface of Ling Hong's body. Scab.

boom

With a loud noise, Ling Hong kicked open the metal door. The moment she entered, the entire space was quickly enveloped in red particles. The criminals with weapons around them looked in horror at the man in front of them who was covered all over. The woman wrapped in red thunder and lightning, her eyes filled with red particles.

Sizzling

There was a slight sound of electrical friction in the air, followed by broken glass windows. The entire space was wrapped in red lightning. In just a short moment, the entire metal room was scorched black, and the people in charge also started to move. , under the leadership of some council officers, they began to advance.

The battle was about to break out. Ling Hong quickly searched for the target upstairs and downstairs, quickly cleaning up from the 1st floor to the 10th floor. The whole process took less than 1 minute. She lit a cigarette and jumped directly from the 10th floor. After landing, Returning to the facility again, after opening a room, an underground entrance appeared. Ling Hong tried to knock on it. However, the metal shielding plate of the underground entrance was only dented a little. It was certain that the door of this entrance was quite thick. .

The sound of gunfire was getting closer and closer. Ling Hong still tried to open the entrance to the underground palace, but no matter how hard she tried, it was all in vain. She even used high-heat electric current to dissolve the metal, but after the heat evaporated, the metal would quickly solidify. live.

Everyone retreats!

Just as Ling Hong was thinking, she received Zijuan's order in an instant. At this time, the staff in the fortress seemed to be relieved and began to evacuate. Ling Hong felt strange. When she looked towards the sky, Ling Hong was shocked. The eyes widened.

A huge thing in the sky was approaching. She probably knew what she was going to do. Soon she received the second retreat order again, requesting that she evacuate to at least 10 kilometers away according to the established march route.

"what is that!"

A female team leader noticed something approaching silently in the air, with countless red dots flashing.

At this time, in an empty metal hall underground, several bosses were drinking. Today's battle was successful. Although the metal facilities above were broken through, the overall result was good. Many people were rejoicing. As long as we continue to fight for one more day tomorrow, we can negotiate with the Xingke Branch. This is the most wonderful thing that most people have ever imagined.

"Thanks to Mr. Prometheus."

A leader said, pulling a woman who was carrying something up and hugging her into his arms. There were bursts of laughter from all around. This underground facility is absolutely solid, just like a sealed metal box. After arriving here, they got the blueprint of this underground facility. Only a few bosses knew the structure of the underground facility.

The man named Prometheus gave them a lot of weapons and food, enough for them to stay here for several years.

According to what Prometheus said, as long as they can successfully withstand Xingke's attack, they can negotiate terms with them and directly legalize this place is no longer a problem.

From time to time, people are talking in the corner. Living here is actually not bad. At least it is a little freer. And there are no big disputes now. As long as we can continue to live, there is no need to go to the city to suffer. Maybe one day it will be here. Become a warm land full of sunshine.

Everyone has such good expectations. In the past, most of them made a living by committing crimes in the city and did many bad things. But after coming here, the friction between everyone gradually disappeared and became They were having fun, and there was no compulsion for their subordinates to do anything. Many people also realized that only by uniting can they survive in such a dark barrier zone.

"I still have a child in the city, and now that kid doesn't know whether he's dead or alive."

A man said, and a man next to him patted his shoulder comfortingly.

"I also have friends and relatives in the city, but we probably won't be able to go back in our lifetime."

"Why go back? It's the powerful people who created such a society. I often think that if my dad hadn't been involved in robbery when I was a child, my life might have been different."

There were bursts of laughter all around, and there were people holding hands at the entrance to the core underground facility. This place was foolproof. People from Section 2 had been here before and broke in easily, but they were hidden in the underground facility. Even if they Even if they are powerful mutants, there is no way to pose a threat to them. The exhaust port of this underground facility goes directly through the Alata Ula Mountains behind it, which ensures that it is foolproof and cannot be found at all. It only needs to be checked regularly. That’s it.

"Do you feel a little hot?"

A man said, looking at the women next to him. They looked at the man with disdain, and everyone laughed.

L

There was a sizzling sound, and the dissolved molten metal dripped down. No one noticed it at first, but more and more molten metal dripped down. At this time, everyone felt the heat. Some people screamed and were beaten. The dripping molten metal burned them directly, causing them to roll all over the ground, and several leaders also stood up.

"There's light! What's going on!"

A woman raised her head and looked at a streak of white light coming from the hot red liquid metal. Just as she hesitated, the woman screamed in horror. The skin on her cheeks began to peel off, making a sizzling sound, and flesh and blood appeared. In an instant, it had been burned. The light became brighter and brighter. Someone was completely burned and turned into coke in an instant.

A leader's body was covered with scabs. However, one after another flaming people appeared all around. However, in just a short time, these flaming people turned into fly ash. The leader quietly raised his head, What came to his mind at this moment was the happy childhood of him and his friends in the neighborhood under the warm sunshine.

The light enveloped everything, and instantly the whole place turned into pure white without a trace of color.
