Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"How's the situation?"

Mo Xiaolan watched worriedly. At the back door of the CBV building, many mutants were carrying a large amount of food on their backs. After the martial law started, even in some places where construction was still under way, no more than 20 people were allowed to gather in groups. Above.

Originally, the CBV building would have more than 12,000 people if normal people were at work every day. Now, in order to avoid large crowds gathering, only the minimum number of people who can maintain the operation of the CBV is allowed.

Moreover, the canteen is also closed, and you can only go home to eat after get off work one hour in advance. Those who need to work at night will return after finishing their meal.

It is now 5:38. With Zhao Zhen's consent, the chefs who were working at CBV have resumed work and will prepare dinner for the more than 4,000 people currently being held hostage at CBV.

Niya just came out again and has basically determined the escape plan of the hostages inside. Now she only needs external assistance.

People on the escape route on different floors will come in batches to get dinner and then return to the company building. This is also one of Zhao Zhen's requirements, which makes this assistance more comfortable.

Mo Xiaolan has asked the chefs to prepare everyone's escape plan instructions. They are all on paper and will be placed in the food when the food is distributed. Everyone who goes back to eat the food will find it, even the person in charge at noon. If anyone in the company fails to make the escape plan, everyone can be notified at tonight's dinner.

There were a total of 30 chefs. After Niya came out, Mo Xiaolan immediately started working on the row of people to complete this information transmission plan in a short time.

Now all we have to do is deliver the food. Originally, Niya proposed to deliver the food directly from outside, but Zhao Zhen said that he would let CBV chefs come in directly to cook it, and then ask everyone in the company to go to the cafeteria to get it one by one. .

Zhao Zhen is very smart. He has only one purpose for doing this, which is to confirm the number of hostages, because the AI ​​should be able to tell Zhao Zhen the information about whether the hostages are complete through some means.

Although the company is full of surveillance, there are always blind spots that cannot be reached by surveillance. Zhao Zhen's intentions are too obvious, but this facilitates the rescue plan of the business department.

Lilian was watching the chefs. Although they looked unhappy, they had already begun to prepare dinner hard.

When it is time to pick up dinner later, everyone in the CBV building will come out of the building one by one and go to the large cafeteria behind the building to get it, so that the number of hostages can be confirmed one by one.

"It's true that things are unpredictable, Lillian."

Mo Xiaolan laughed. No one expected that Zhao Zhen would make such a request. Many of the hostages currently being held hostage at CBV were old employees, and no one had an emotional breakdown because they had seen too many.

In order to allow a small number of people to maintain the operation of CBV, none of the employees who were hijacked this time had working experience of less than 10 years. Mo Xiaolan looked at the suspicious reports returned after investigation by the five departments in various places.

Some rioters' dens have been found in some old urban areas with messy buildings in the city. Many dens are located in residential areas with complex architectural structures, and there are also some suspected rooms.

People from Section 2 are assisting Section 5 in the investigation. These rooms have been identified as hiding places for rioters. Some dangerous controlled materials and raw materials were found in many rooms, as well as some old mechanical engineering design drawings.

Time passed by, and as it approached 6 o'clock, a message was released. The artificial sun will not go out, and the operations department will do its best to investigate the rioters, so the artificial sun will maintain the brightness of the sunset until The riot is over.

Many people on the street who were still queuing up to shop became commotion because this was the first time that the artificial sun was not extinguished at 6 o'clock. Such a dim sun was gentle but not dazzling.

6 o'clock sharp

Sure enough, the artificial sun did not go out, and many people opened their windows as if they were surprised. This brightness is completely sufficient for people's daily lighting needs, and it will not cause much trouble even when sleeping.

The first batch of meals began to be distributed. More than 30 people in a room on the second floor began to move, as did people on the second, third and fourth floors. The number of meals distributed at the beginning was only 200, and this distribution will continue for 20 Only next time.

Lunch boxes with already filled meals were placed on the table one by one, and CBV employees began to get their meals. At this time, a supervisor in the crowd spoke.

"No matter what you eat or see later, stay calm and go to the bathroom as if nothing happened."

Sure enough, there are still people who have not received the notification, because some people did not go to the bathroom during the day. Only less than one-third of the people knew about the rescue plan of the administrative department, and these people could not explain it directly under the surveillance, and because of various For some reason, there were discrepancies in the original plan.

Soon the first group of people returned to the office with their lunch boxes. CBV has too many categories of programs to broadcast, and many programs require human review, including many programs from other TV companies, all of which require CBV. People conduct human review.

There is a reason why people say that CBV is the mouthpiece of the Executive Branch behind their backs. This is because a long time ago, Branch 1 has given CBV an audit standard and various other suggestions. Although they are suggestions, CBV It is 100% obedient to the decision of Section 1.

All news media in the city are controlled by CBV, including everything in the film and television industry. The broadcast of many programs is reviewed by CBV.

Everyone living in the bright city knows that all media news is under the control of CBV. CBV also has the right to ban all news media personnel. Once someone is banned by CBV in this industry, no media company will hire him. of.

Especially now, most people can only spend the day at home, and TV programs have become indispensable entertainment programs for many families. CBV had already received the notice from Section 1 a few hours before martial law, and tried its best to To ensure that people watch a wide variety of entertainment programs, there must be a lot of them.

Many programs have hosts who will interact with the audience on site. In the past few days, many people who have worked for too long seem to have gotten a good vacation.

And the fact that most of the paid content is free also allows many people to watch some content freely these days.

Soon the first group of people who got the lunch boxes had returned to the office. Everyone seemed a little silent because they didn't know when Zhao Zhen would detonate the bomb. Such fear had already made many people feel tired, although it was the most effective. The best way is to devote yourself to work wholeheartedly, but once you are free, you will remember that you are now a hostage.

It is absolutely impossible for the Xingke Branch to reveal the truth. Even if more than 4,000 of their people are sacrificed, the Xingke Branch people will not reveal the truth. The people at CBV know this best. Many things they know can only be kept secret. , not to mention some of the city’s most core secrets.

In just one noon, many people seemed to have been working continuously for more than ten hours. Many people also noticed that many hosts made frequent mistakes and their expressions were always unnatural.

All this is enough to show that the current people at CBV are under tremendous pressure. At this time, a female anchor had tears falling down while eating. She hurriedly wiped her tears and tried her best not to let the people around her people see.

After all, at this time, the head of the department has already said that you must hold on. The business department will definitely find a way, and Zhao Zhen is emotionally stable now and will not detonate a bomb in a short time.

The female anchor suddenly noticed something black from the rice. She was surprised at first, but after slowly opening the rice, she saw a line of small words.

Please don't panic, hide the paper on your body, don't be exposed to surveillance, don't attract attention, calm down, go to the toilet to read the content on the paper, act!

The female anchor hurriedly wiped away her tears. Then she ate quickly and inadvertently hid the paper wrapped in plastic film in her clothes. After eating, she rested for a while and then got up and went to the bathroom.

After the female anchor entered the bathroom, her heart was beating loudly. She blushed and hurriedly opened the whole piece of paper. On it was a detailed escape plan. The female anchor looked at it carefully and quickly wrote down the plan. She needed to get to the 19th floor. Wait at the door of room A38 in the north corridor of the building. The time is 8:20 tonight.

The female anchor breathed a sigh of relief. Her show ended at 8 o'clock, and she had 20 minutes to prepare. The paper detailed the moving process as far away from others as possible, and to try not to move in groups.

Some options to get to the 19th floor were also recommended, among which taking the stairs is a better one. The design of the entire CBV building is a ring structure.

All this is for the convenience of journalists. There are corridors on the outside, a total of 12 elevators, folding stairs up and down in four directions, and there is also a small resting balcony extending outward in the stairwell.

Soon the female anchor came to the opening of a light and shadow screen on the side of the bathroom. She walked over cautiously and brought up a light and shadow screen. Sure enough, there was a green channel mark on the screen, and the female anchor pressed it.

Soon with a flash of white light, a belt-like object was generated. The female anchor quickly took it over and followed the operation method that appeared on the light and shadow screen. She directly lifted up her coat and wrapped the round tube-shaped object around it. He put it on his waist, adjusted it to a suitable size, and covered it with a jacket.

After taking a look in the mirror, there were no obvious traces, because after this thing was tied around the waist, it began to extend along the person's body, so there was nothing visible. You just need to take off the jacket later. That's it.

Soon a woman who also hurried into the bathroom came out within a few minutes.

"Did you finish it so quickly?"

The female anchor asked, and the woman in front of her laughed.

"Really, the supervisor has already arrived today. I heard it from the assistant. It should be fine."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then hugged each other. In the past, the two female anchors always had some small conflicts and frictions because of the relationship between the programs. No one could understand the other, but at this moment, both of them were in trouble. Hug each other from the bottom of my heart.

6:29

In the live broadcast room where Zhao Zhen was, a female assistant brought a box of lunch and walked to Zhao Zhen cautiously.

"Mr. Zhao Zhen, it's time to eat."

After Zhao Zhen opened his eyes, he took the meal with a smile. After he opened the meal, he started to devour it. The staff on site were already sitting around in twos and threes, looking extremely tired.

crunch

The door to the room opened, Niya came in holding a cigarette, and Zhao Zhen put down his meal.

"How did the discussion turn out? Miss Niya, did the gods agree?"

Niya waved her hands helplessly and said.

"Unfortunately, the meeting is still going on. There are only a few people who agree, but there are also many people who agree, especially those MPs."

Zhao Zhen laughed. Indeed, the news he received at noon was that the congressmen, family members, and businessmen were still in the guild hall and had not come out, and Locke had also returned to the Congress hall.

"By the way, Mr. Zhao Zhen, these staff members have been tired for a long day. Can you let them rest for a few hours?"

Zhao Zhen nodded.

"It's up to you, as long as you don't leave the building and do what you should do as a hostage."

Niya then called several staff members and asked them how they wanted to continue the live broadcast. After asking them, Niya asked them to leave. Many people fled the studio as if they were running away.

After Niya adjusted the camera for a while, the live broadcast continued. She sat opposite Zhao Zhen, crossed her legs, and looked at Zhao Zhen comfortably.

"By the way, Miss Niya, for the noon question, didn't you say you wanted to conduct a street interview? I think we can continue the discussion."

Zhao Zhen said, putting down the rice in his hand, stood up and started walking.

"I have to go to the bathroom."

For a moment, Niya's eyes moved slightly. When she thought of those people leaving just now, she must have gone to the bathroom to get the slowdown device immediately. Niya knew very well that if Zhao Zhen went to the bathroom now, it would be over.

"Do you really want to know? The truth about the longevity vaccine."

Suddenly Niya shrank, Zhao Zhen stopped, and walked up to Niya with excitement on his face.

"I once heard my sister say that to be honest, the secret of the life-span vaccine is the most secretive thing in Brilliant City. I only heard some things from my sister. If you want to hear it, I can tell you now. you."

Zhao Zhen laughed heartily.

"But I just heard some things. I don't know the more specific things."

Zhao Zhen hummed.

"Tell me, Miss Niya, what you know is the core. I have also heard some things. Some people say that the longevity vaccine was born based on human trials."

After Niya was silent for a while, she exhaled a puff of smoke. Just when she was about to answer, a staff member came in and said that the live broadcast was interrupted. Niya immediately got up and walked over to watch him adjust.

Soon the live broadcast resumed, Niya said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhao Zhen, you'd better go to the bathroom first. We can talk about this issue slowly when you come back later."
