Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

4:09 am

Huashen walked out of the lift. The operation was over. The conditions of several critically ill patients had stabilized. Ye Chunwang was still standing outside.

"How about it!"

Ye Chunwang asked and Huashen nodded.

"It should be fine, just get through tonight."

Ye Chunwang handed over a bottle of wine. Hua Shen took one look at it and shook his head.

"It might actually make you feel better if you drink now, but forget it."

Ye Chunwang's cheeks were slightly red. This was the first time he felt so powerless. After only leaving for a short while, his hope was shattered.

Such a result is difficult for anyone to accept, and it is even more unbearable. Huashen sat on the ground, picked up the wine handed over by Ye Chunwang, and took a sip. A burning feeling spread from his throat to his stomach. Huashen again Take a swig.

"Have you not considered going upriver?"

Huashen shook his head.

"I'm just a doctor! I'm good at treating patients and saving people, but management is not for me."

"There is no need to rush to answer Huashen."

Huashen nodded, stood up with a wry smile, staggered, and Ye Chunwang supported him.

"You're a bad drinker."

"It has always been like this. My adoptive father warned me before that as a doctor, there is one thing that you must never touch. If you drink alcohol for a long time, it will easily paralyze your nerves. Over time, your skills as a doctor will decline. It’s the same thing with cigarettes.”

Ye Chunwang smiled, but his face darkened again in the next second. At this moment, neither of them wanted the sun to rise tomorrow. If time could stay today, it might be better.

The lights were still on in the opposite room, and all the directors of Section 3 were gathered together. The troops at the Alatan Ula Mountains had just withdrawn, and now only Ling Hong and the others were left as directors of Section 3. A group of directors who went to track and discover the base in the Alatan Ula Mountains did not return.

Recently, there have been incidents of mutants going berserk one after another in the city. Huashen is still looking for the reason, but the biggest reason is probably psychological problems. More and more studies show that when mutants are in intense emotions, Alienated genes are very unstable.

People in the city are panicked, their views on mutants are getting worse and worse, and the conflict between mutants and ordinary people is getting more and more intense. Now this experimental base, which is the hope of everyone at the bottom, has such a major problem.

No one knows what will happen tomorrow, and strange rumors are already circulating. Most of the captured criminals from the Alatan Ula Mountains are saying that the Angus family provided all support behind the scenes. I even saw with my own eyes that the people delivering supplies were from the Angus family.

The specific situation is still under investigation, but it won't take long for such rumors to spread in the city. This will have a huge impact on the Angus family, and it will also have a huge impact on the business department.

"This is the first time I feel like this, I don't dare to welcome the dawn!"

It is unknown how many criminals there are in the barrier area, and whether they rely on sunlight fields for farming like those found in that mountain range, but it is conceivable that there are still a large number of criminals stationed in other places, and they are always There is a way to survive. They can only eat one meal a day, which is the norm. They may only drink a sip of water for a day or two.

Most criminals know that once they escape, the city will no longer be able to accommodate them, so they have to resist, so they would rather die than be sent to jail for resisting arrest.

The only thing we know is that based on the estimates of those involved in major and important cases in the past, there are at least nearly 30,000 criminals wandering in this wasteland in the barrier area. Perhaps this number will be even higher, as things have changed over the years. With the increasingly strong control of crime in the United States, many criminals have escaped. The prison is now overwhelmed and cannot afford this group of criminals from the barrier area.

The two did not go into the meeting of Section 3 because no one could make such a decision. To clean up the barrier area, the lives of Section 3 personnel and more resources from the city would have to be invested. Waiting for the elimination The year of the criminal who finished the barrier area is unknown.

"It will be dawn in more than an hour."

Ye Chunwang said and Huashen nodded. He really wanted to go over and see what decision Osman would make, but he still held back.

Osman sat quietly at a table. The directors of all three nearby departments were in the room. Everyone was waiting for Ling Hong and the others to come back. This decision was not made by Osman alone.

It has been nearly two hours, and Osman has not said a word, and no one has spoken. Osman's eyes are red, and he is still waiting, because no one knows what happened on the other side of the Alatan Ula Mountains.

At this time, a red dot can be seen approaching on the light screen, and the recognition signal has been sent.

Everyone stood up and looked at the door. After a while, Ling Hong was the first to walk in. Everyone felt that something was wrong when they saw her for the first time, and the director who came in behind her Their expressions also appeared extremely complicated.

"What happened over there!"

Osman walked up to Ling Hong. Ling Hong lowered her head without saying a word and just shook her head. Osman looked at the directors behind Ling Hong, and they all looked miserable.

"Tell me what happened!"

Ling Hong sat on a chair exhausted. She just stared blankly in front of her and refused to speak.

"Can anyone tell me what happened?"

Osman glanced around everyone. He had already vaguely guessed it, but he still wanted to confirm it from the people who came back.

"It's Lady Rose!"

A female director said, and everyone knew the answer. The answer was already obvious, because everyone present was once a student of Rose, and what Rose's power can do, they have seen countless times. pass.

Osman clenched his fists and looked at Ling Hong in front of him blankly, then raised his head and asked.

"What should we do? What decision is correct, what is correct, answer me."

No one could answer. Everyone knew about the order. Deguna had given a specific time limit, causing Section 3 to make a decision at 8 o'clock. The only decision was to clean up all areas in the barrier area to eradicate crime. Or provide other reliable and effective solutions, but no one can think of what to do now, because the threat of the barrier zone is a fact that cannot be ignored.

In the past, Mo Xiaolan and Jean went to the barrier area to investigate and found some things in the excrement of some criminals. Mo Xiaolan's suggestion was to get Section 3 to move into action and thoroughly investigate the barrier area. It is necessary to understand every inch of land in the barrier area. The last march plan was for this purpose, but it was a pity that it failed.

Under the pressure of public opinion, Section 3 has been unable to hold its head high over the years. No matter what kind of policies are introduced, there will always be criticism. At this time, everyone is thinking about the same thing and taking advantage of this opportunity. Let the three subjects find the meaning of existence.

"I have a solution!"

Ling Hong lit a cigarette as she spoke. She stood up from the chair and seemed to regain her strength in an instant. Everyone looked at her.

"Give them food and water!"

All the directors present looked at Ling Hong in shock, and Osman seemed to understand something.

"That's it!"

Osman said, Lu Song immediately objected.

"If you do this"

"Do you still remember the days you spent in this base? What are the criminals who gathered nearby look like?"

Osman asked, and Lu Song nodded.

"This is a dangerous but worthwhile decision for all of us. There is definitely a threat, but the best way to eliminate this threat is not to make fun of the lives of the soldiers, let alone the people in the city. We will spend our tax dollars wantonly, but we may have to live a hard life for a period of time in the future. If this kind of confrontation is not eliminated, there will be more criminals in the future who will not lay down their weapons and will not surrender, but would rather die. There will be no surrender in that land.”

Ling Hong nodded.

“It’s enough for each of us to eat one less piece of meat per meal!”

At this time, many people's expressions softened a lot. Everyone still clearly remembered the previous marching plan in the barrier area. During the march, among the criminals encountered, very few surrendered on their own initiative. Many The criminals are desperate.

"I often wonder what they are fighting for! I have asked many arrested criminals what their lives are like. Many people regret the crimes they committed in the past, but they also regret it. Angry, because many people have grown up in places with relatively high crime rates, and everything has been decided for a long time! I have asked many criminals what they would do if they were given another chance to choose, and many criminals have said , would not make such a reckless decision.”

The atmosphere in the room relaxed a little. Everyone was looking at Osman. For the barrier area, the people in Section 3 knew far more thoroughly than everyone else in the city.

"I often wonder where the root of the problem is. The president has already given the answer. So in these years, she has been fighting all crimes desperately in order to eradicate the soil where crime breeds. Poverty does not lead to crime. The only thing that does The only thing that leads to crime is the human heart. I often think about a question. If a person is sick, perhaps he can be cured with cash medical treatment, but if this person is mentally ill, how should he be cured?"

Ling Hong trembled slightly, took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it and grinned slightly.

"Many of them who escaped just don't want to go to jail. They just want water, food, and a little medicine. We can clean up the barrier area, but this decision will continue into the future, and criminals will continue to take up arms. , if you decide, please contact Lord Deguna!"

Ling Hong said and Osman nodded.

"I just hope that our decision today is a human decision, not a machine decision. No matter how powerful we are, no matter how good we are, please don't forget, we are human beings!"

After Osman finished speaking, he entered the permission code on the light and shadow screen, and soon Deguna appeared on the light and shadow screen with a serious look.

"Have you decided, Osman?"

Deguna asked seriously.

"Yes, Teacher Deguna! Provide water, food, and a little medicine to the people living in the barrier area."

Deguna stood up from her chair and looked at everyone in disbelief.

"Is such a stupid decision your answer?"

Osman bowed, and everyone bowed.

"It's up to you. It's just up to you to figure out how to explain it. I'm dealing with a difficult matter right now. That ignorant little girl broke into the Hillman family and ended up with nothing. turn up."

Osman's eyes widened, and Ling Hong came over immediately.

"How could Alpha."

"I'll give you a little more time to deal with this problem. If the situation in the barrier area remains the same, you can figure it out yourself."

The video call ended, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. No one wanted to joke with the lives of the members of Section 3, because the past march in the barrier zone was too tragic.

4:31 am

After Deguna ended the call, she looked at Alpha in front of her. Locke was sitting aside and had now received a letter of protest from the Hillman family's legal team.

Li Chu was lying on the sofa, while Werther was sitting by the swimming pool.

"Speak? Did you find anything?"

Deguna looked at Alpha and shook her head helplessly.

"Jean has just left less than a month ago and you caused trouble. Tomorrow you will find a way to explain this matter yourself. No matter what excuses you use to prevaricate, or you don't say anything, you can handle it yourself."

Li Chu snorted coldly.

"What the city needs now is stability. Before the construction of your home was completed, you searched the underground ground of the Hillman family. Did you find anything?"

Alpha still kept silent. She indeed found nothing. The research laboratories in those underground facilities were similar to those of her own family. They were used by scientific researchers within the family. Some research was done underground because it was more dangerous, but Alpha I have seen most of the data, and it is in compliance with regulations, and many technologies were acquired by the Hillman family after Congress opened up.

"With so many problems stacked up together, how do you want me to deal with them? How do you want the entire department to deal with them?"

Li Chu said, getting up and pressing his nose.

"You hit me so hard. If it were anyone else, Alpha would already be in the hospital. You really dare to attack your former teacher."

Locke smiled and pulled Alpha, and she turned around and bowed slightly.

"Sorry, Teacher Li Chu!"

Li Chu stood up and shook his head.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. You still have a few hours to find a way. At 8 o'clock, a large number of reporters will report this matter first. If the Hillman family wants to do something, you can find a way to deal with it yourself. , no matter what method you use."

Li Chu stood up as he spoke. Werther walked over with a smile and glanced at Locke. Locke nodded slightly in understanding, and Deguna stood up.

"Where do you two want to go?"

Li Chu and Witte walked directly to the window and jumped out, while Deguna also jumped out. Locke frowned slightly and looked at the large number of files that still needed to be processed on the light and shadow panel, so he could only walk over and close it temporarily. Lost these files.

"How about I give you a televised speech?"

Alpha shook her head and sat down on the sofa. The heat in her heart was gone and replaced by a chill. She thought she could find something, but she found nothing.

"It's really difficult. Why did this happen? I can just explain it myself."

Locke smiled helplessly.

"Just block off the Black Mountains and the northwest."

"It will cost a lot of money, and it also requires manpower and material resources. Now the city is no longer as good as Dan Nian, and the economy at the bottom has just improved a little. No matter what, please be patient for now, Alpha. Mo Xiaolan has been investigating the Hillman family. Something?"

Alpha hummed and clenched his fists.

"If I can't do it tomorrow, I'll just shut up and think about it for a while."

Alpha leaned on the sofa, and there was a burst of sadness in the pit of her heart. She didn't know what was going on. Not long after Jean left, major problems appeared one after another in the city, and the incident of mutants running amok also became more and more serious. More and more, everything starts to go wrong, but it is difficult to find the source. If evidence is really found tonight, Alpha will ignore all obstacles and directly arrest everyone in the Hillman family.

Even if there is family immunity, nothing can be done to them, but all their business activities can be blocked and all business qualifications of the Hillman family can be revoked.

"Don't think about Alpha. There are some things you can't find the answer to even if you rack your brains. This is the kind of place the city is."

When Locke looked at Alpha again, she was already asleep. He took out a blanket from the cabinet to cover Alpha, turned off the lights in the room, and planned to go to another room to work.

The management of the business department were all watched by Locke. Although Locke has been talking about retiring, retirement is now impossible and there are still too many problems to deal with.

Tomorrow's question shows that Locke has also thought about how to explain to the public the failure of the experimental plan for the agricultural base in the barrier area, including Alpha's intrusion into the Hillman family.

"This is my responsibility. It's true. If that bastard Gene is still here, he can definitely take the blame for them. But for these two things, I will have to bear the blame tomorrow."

Locke chuckled and walked into the secretary's office. However, he was a little surprised because Yin Xianglin was still working.

"Why don't Xiang Rin go and rest?"

"Manager, what happened?"

Locke walked over and closed the work panel in front of Yin Xianglin.

"Go and rest until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, then get up and continue working, and I'll take care of the rest."

"Can't you tell me, Chief?"

Yin Xianglin insisted.

"Xiang Rin, I'm really sorry for these years. If you really want to leave here, I won't stop you."

Yin Xianglin's eyes widened, looking at Locke's helpless look.

"Go to sleep Xiang Rin."

Locke Jiahui patted Yin Xianglin on the back. After Yin Xianglin went out, he immediately made a call to King Xue.

"Let the media reporters get ready. You should know what to do. My brain is not working very well."

"It's very simple, Brother Fat. Because the city is criticizing the military expenses of the 3rd Section, and the expenses in the Agricultural Experiment Base, including the stationed staff, all enjoy special allowances, so you ordered the withdrawal of two-thirds of the troops. , as a result, some thugs in the barrier area took advantage of it, do you think this is acceptable?"

Locke frowned slightly.

"Help me prepare a televised speech. Where's Alpha?"

"You only need to explain that it was because you received the intelligence from Division 2. Before this intelligence was confirmed, you stored the intelligence in the wrong file due to fatigue and operational errors. As a result, Alpha Division saw the intelligence late at night. The chief went straight to the Hillman family to investigate. Is this acceptable?"

Locke sighed.

"Hurry up. I will respond to Alpha's questions first. Let's start at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Give me 10 minutes, fat brother. I'll go directly to your place. I'll write down the instructions while you're at it. There's also the matter of the Alatan Ula Mountains. When I finish writing these two TV speeches, you have to tell me in detail." I can do it.”

Locke sighed.

"You are really proactive. How about I give you a position first? What do you think? Why don't you come to the General Affairs Department as a secretary?"

"That's not necessary, manager. I'm currently cultivating a group of students. After all, we need to provide blood transfusions to the business department."

Locke sighed helplessly after hanging up the phone, and then slapped his hand on the table angrily.

"Jean you bastard!"

Before Gene left, he had already talked about many things with Locke. On the surface, Locke had the highest position in the operational department, and the section chiefs had to take orders from Locke, but the department chiefs could work on their own. Solve the problem of promulgating policies within the department, but need to go through the General Affairs Department.

In the eyes of many people, this has long been a foregone conclusion. Many people even feel that many decisions within the department are made by Locke, because most of the time it is Locke who speaks on TV these years.

This kind of taking the blame has become Locke's daily routine. Before Gene left, he also said that no matter what kind of things the students in the business department did, as long as these things were not evil, Locke would find a way to divert most of them. Sight.

"Anyway, I've been scolded for so many years, so it doesn't matter anymore."

Locke smiled and looked at the time. As time passed by, the door to the room opened, but there was no one there. It was not until a few seconds later that King Xue showed up.

"It's becoming more and more perfect, the use of supernatural powers."

"Thank you, Fat Brother. Let's start working on it quickly. Time is running out."

Locke nodded, and the two of them looked at the time. It was already 5:03 in the morning.

Eddie stood quietly on the lawn of the family. Many members of the family gathered over, planning to release the video of Alpha unreasonably breaking into the Hillman family and beating the members of the Hillman family tomorrow. This time it must be Make the business look good.

Eddie didn't say anything, just watched a bunch of people making noise. Eddie had watched the video and felt numb. Eddie was aware of the level of the more than 100 mutants in the family, although it was lower than Not as high as those in the executive branch, but not weak in strength, but in just a moment they were defeated by Alpha alone.

Before coming here, Ran Zhi had already told Ai Di not to be a good boy while taking advantage.

"Clan leader, please tell me, what should I do?"

A man of the same generation as Eddie asked. At this time, everyone's discussion gradually disappeared, and everyone looked at Eddie.

"We don't need you to be so petty. It's okay to protest. There's no need to make any big news. Listen carefully. If any of you dare to mess around, don't blame me for being rude."

Eddie said with a smile and turned around and walked away. He had spent a long time in Hillman Pharmaceuticals and had not returned to the family mansion for a long time. He smiled and walked in with a glass of wine. The butler Followed.

The members of the Hillman family outside were only superficial members of the Hillman family, and Eddie had no time to pay attention to them.

Everything is exactly as Ran Zhi said. The Angus family, not the Hillman family, is the one who conducts investigations. It is certain that everything in that base has disappeared. It seems that many of Ran Zhi's decisions are correct. Originally, Eddie wanted to continue research in that base, but in the end he was persuaded by Ran Zhi and withdrew all the research equipment in the base and only sent some family members to teach the people there.

Eddie came to the balcony and quietly enjoyed the breeze. Soon the sun would rise and everything would go smoothly. Everything in the city would be in chaos. Prometheus had already predicted what Xingke would do next. arrive.

"In the end you will dig your own grave."

Eddie couldn't help but laugh out loud. What is certain is that the next step is that the Criminal Division will start to clean up the criminals in the barrier area, and will make a big fuss about this matter. As long as the 3rd Division takes action, the next step will be Preliminary planning for personality implantation will then begin.

Although technology is still unable to achieve personality implantation, it can achieve memory implantation. Eddie just wants to implant a memory into most people in the city. All this is God's fault. This is enough. Wait. When the voices began to gather and merge into one, it was the time for the gods to make a decision, but Eddie was a little strange, because he had rarely heard from Gene recently.

"What on earth is Mr. Jean doing!"

5:48 am

Beside a colorful lake, Gene smiled and looked at Ellie who had already stood up.

"Let's chat for a while, we should still have some time."

"No, the sun must rise normally every day. When do you plan to go back?"

Ellie asked and Gene shook his head.

"If I can, I will live here and never go back."

Ellie sighed and shook her head.

"You have learned all the facts Gene. You must make all preparations for the moment when this cage is broken in the future. Gather courageous humans. This is your mission!"

Gene turned around and laughed.

"If I leave here, this memory will probably disappear!"

Ellie hummed.

"You have to keep going back Gene, your students need you."
