Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"real or fake?"

Several young people who were having lunch were watching the reports on the news. Just now, Section 10 had announced a piece of news that shocked the whole city.

Section 10 will select some elderly people in nursing homes in the city and directly carry out mechanical and biochemical transformation on them.

The city, which had been quiet for less than three days, began to become noisy again. Everyone was talking, especially some human rights organizations, which had already spoken out in protest. This was persecuting human rights and transforming people into cold machines. And many people said that Section 10 was going to conduct experiments on real people, and at this moment a piece of news appeared again.

As the main person in charge of this matter, Le Xiao will give a televised speech at three o'clock in the afternoon. Many people are talking about the explanation given by Section 10 this morning. Many people do not believe it at all, because the human body is removed It seems incredible to many people that a person can still be alive if the unexpected part of the brain is removed.

Some vague explanations from Section 10 are not credible to many people in the city. Some people are afraid that if this starts, the city will enter a cruel mechanized era that many people find creepy.

Many people have spontaneously organized themselves to protest at the General Affairs Department. Because of the facts announced by Le Xiao, many people were helpless at first, but found it difficult to accept them afterwards.

Some reporters were interviewing some slightly older people on the street. When they heard these things, most of them were opposed to it.

In less than an hour, the scolding started, because many people felt that Le Xiao said one thing and did another.

Just after 1 o'clock, Le Xiao stood uneasily in Locke's office. Michelle was discussing with Noah the content of Le Xiao's arrest speech, and Locke smiled helplessly.

"It's really heaven and hell, girl."

Le Xiao pressed her forehead. She was distracted last night. Because she drank some wine, she naturally revealed this plan. But she didn't expect that many people would reject the 10 subjects as soon as they were announced this morning.

What Le Xiao didn't expect was that many of the elderly people in the nursing home spoke to the camera, saying that they would rather die than accept such transformation. Many more elderly people also expressed their dissatisfaction with Congress's attitude towards them. made an extremely angry complaint.

Many old people are talking about the city's indifference and ruthlessness towards them, and now they actually want to use them as experimental subjects.

Public opinion in the city suddenly became unified, with various people criticizing Congress for its irresponsible behavior.

This is because the problems of orphanages and nursing homes have been taking root in the city for many years, and Congress has not actively addressed them. Instead, the executive branch and members of Congress have been kicking the problem back and forth like a ball.

In particular, the past incidents of fraudulent donations or illegal money-making in the name of charity have been brought to the forefront again. The city has become completely lively, and everyone's attention has been focused on orphanages and nursing homes, especially orphanages and nursing homes. Nursing home.

Le Xiao didn't know what to do at all. She didn't think about anything. She just felt that those old people had been suffering from illness for so many years. Instead of living in such pain, it was better to have a strong body that could be self-sufficient. It will be much better.

"Girl, your starting point is good, but you haven't considered the issue of acceptance. I'm afraid your method is difficult for most people to accept."

Le Xiao snorted. She was very panicked now. The city had just calmed down for a few days, and people were full of hope for the future. But now, the city has become lively again.

"You still have less than two hours. Take a careful look at these materials. It's up to you what you want to say later."

Michelle said and Le Xiao hurriedly came over, wanting to ask Michelle what she wanted to say, but Michelle had already stood up and planned to do other things.

"Well, Mr. Secretary-General, can you tell me what to do?"

Michelle glanced at Le Xiao.

"It's up to you."

Le Xiao's eyes widened, Noah pulled Le Xiao over and laughed.

"Be tough, you have the power anyway, don't you!"

Le Xiao pouted. She was really drunk last night. She didn't expect Noah to be so supportive. Before, Noah always said that he was a little hamster, with ridicule and contempt, but when he returned to the General Affairs Department last night, Noah blew her up to the sky, and Lexiao pressed her forehead.

After a while, Le Xiao looked at Locke for help. Locke also stood up and said.

"You made it yourself and solved it yourself. Everyone is very busy at work, so I'm going to get busy."

Le Xiao sighed, and Noah went directly to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of good wine, and took out some dry goods from the cabinet below and put them over.

"If you are really scared, just take a sip. I feel like you will become stronger after drinking."

Le Xiao looked at Noah angrily and glared at him.

"What can you do?"

Noah laughed helplessly.

"The only thing I can do is explain to you some things about mechanical and biochemical modification. You have to figure out other things on your own."

Le Xiao pressed her forehead and became annoyed, but the smell made Le Xiao swallow. Noah pulled off some dried meat and put it into his mouth, and then took a small sip.

"Drink and take it easy on yourself."

Le Xiao hummed.

At this time in Michelle's office, Wu Lei smiled awkwardly.

"Secretary Wu Lei, have you ever thought about why I asked you to follow that girl?"

Wu Lei put away his smile, became serious, and bowed.

"Your Excellency Secretary-General, I'm sorry that I didn't stop Secretary Le Xiao last night."

Michelle closed her eyes, thought for a while and then said.

"This matter was caused by the two of you. If it cannot be resolved, you should not get involved in anything else except this matter until it is resolved."

Wu Lei looked at Michelle in surprise, thinking she was going to be angry, and then bowed hurriedly.

"It's Lady Michelle!"

Wu Lei came out of Michelle's office and sighed as he looked at his smiling colleagues.

"I'm not being scolded. It's true. You'll be happy if I'm being scolded. Now it's your turn."

Wu Lei came to the door of Locke's office. As soon as he passed by, he heard Le Xiao's laughing voice. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by the smell of alcohol.

"Right, this wine is really delicious."

"Yeah, it tastes good."

Noah took the wine bottle and refilled it for Le Xiao. As soon as Wu Lei entered, he saw Le Xiao's face was red and there were a lot of dry goods on the table. He hurriedly stopped him.

"Lord Noah, Secretary Le Xiao will give a televised speech at 3 o'clock later."

"You come and drink too."

Le Xiao smiled and pulled Wu Lei over. Wu Lei looked at it worriedly, and immediately turned on the light and shadow screen and asked someone to bring hangover medicine.

After a while, Le Xiao fell drunk on the sofa. Noah was holding the wine glass. Wu Lei was a little confused. It was almost 2 o'clock.

"Sir Noah, has Secretary Le Xiao read anything about biochemical mechanical transformation?"

Noah shook his head.

"No."

Wu Lei smiled awkwardly, and his head was a little dizzy. After putting down the wine glass, Wu Lei looked at it in detail.

"No matter what you say, it's useless."

Wu Lei looked at Noah with a serious expression.

"This plan has touched the bottom line of humanity. How many people do you think will agree with it?"

Wu Lei sighed. He knew very well. From when Le Xiao told the plan last night, he knew clearly that this plan was very risky, and there was a high probability that most people would not agree to it, because once humans complete biochemical mechanical transformation, there will be no Different from other species, there are limits to human beings' ability to accept certain things, and human beings' ability to bear them is also limited.

Or in some film and television works, you may find these things interesting when you see them, but when they actually happen to you, you will feel inexplicable fear.

Urban development and reform have never been a straight line. Although Wu Lei knew what would happen today, he could only continue to watch everything about mechanical and biochemical transformation on the light and shadow screen.

Soon after 2:51, Le Xiao woke up and took a shower. She still felt dizzy. She had already taken hangover medicine, but she still couldn't wake up immediately after a while.

There was no way that all the reporters came over, and there were also representatives from many groups. The large conference room on the second floor was already packed with people. After Le Xiao took a shower, she could only go down to the conference room with the help of Wu Lei. inside.

The crowd started to commotion as soon as they entered. Although there were staff from the General Affairs Department maintaining order, some people couldn't help but ask questions.

Le Xiao also became more sober, but he was still very drunk. Many people smelled the smell of alcohol. Looking at Le Xiao's current state, many people in the business department became worried.

3 o'clock sharp

The televised speech officially began, and it was another live televised speech to the whole city. Soon a group representative in the audience spoke.

"I would like to ask, Mr. Le Xiao, did you ask the opinions of all the elderly in the nursing home when you made your decision?"

Le Xiao said without thinking.

"No."

"Then you are so forceful and impose such cruel things on the parties without consulting them, is that right?"

Le Xiao didn't answer, she became nervous, and Wu Lei immediately answered.

"Excuse me, Miss, where did you know that biochemical mechanical transformation is cruel? If you just listen to some people's remarks and explain it like this, please don't use the word cruel again. If you must use it, please take it. Evidence that biomechanical modification is a cruel practice."

Wu Lei's words silenced the woman, but the man representing another group immediately stood up and said.

"It is cruel to do something against the will of the person involved."

"Then have you asked every elderly person in the nursing home? Are they willing to accept reform? If so, please provide evidence. We require each elderly person's confession video and their true wishes. Please immediately Let’s start the investigation and then question whether we violated the wishes of the person involved.”

Everyone present in the General Affairs Department breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wu Lei was here, otherwise there would have been a big problem with today's televised speech.

Noah, Locke and Michelle, who were standing aside and listening, all felt that Wu Lei's remarks would cause bigger problems. It is true that Wu Lei explained from the perspective of evidence and law, but those who watched this live broadcast Ordinary people would not agree with this statement at all. They only felt that Wu Lei was using laws and systems to kidnap him.

Sure enough, someone has already spoken out on the Internet, but when faced with a barrage of questions, Wu Lei easily resolved them, because many things have not been announced yet and are all rumors.

Wu Lei just wants to calm down the commotion as soon as possible. If Le Xiao is allowed to speak, her words may be caught by the people present and they will start to criticize her.

"Then Mr. Wu Lei, would you like to ask if what you are doing is suspected of human experimentation?"

"No, we just provided a general solution, and this solution is still under discussion, which means it may or may not be implemented."

Wu Lei's words shocked Le Xiao. What she saw in the orphanage and nursing home last night was in her mind. At this time, Le Xiao was a little angry. She listened to what these people said. Around human rights, everyone is talking about whether it is cruel or not, but no one mentions the survival issues of nursing homes and orphanages.

"In other words, you haven't conducted any discussion or research, including practice."

"Shut up, everyone!"

boom

Suddenly Le Xiao roared, and the entire hall fell silent.

"Are you here to listen to what I have to say or are you here to collectively denounce me and hold a criticism meeting?"

Le Xiao glared angrily at the people below. Many people shut up, but the flashlights kept flashing and many reporters were taking pictures.

"Have you ever cared about the living conditions of these orphans and the elderly? Do you know how much the children spend on average per day? It's less than 1 yuan. Do you know how much these old people spend per month? I'm afraid it's less than 20 yuan. Still on the premise of treating physical diseases, I would like to ask you, have you seen these problems? If not, shut up."

Le Xiao slapped the table, and everyone present was shocked. Many people noticed that Le Xiao was a little drunk, which was completely different from her usual self.

"I went to the orphanage last night. The children in the orphanage have not eaten normal food for a week. Some children are severely malnourished. What about the nursing home? Many elderly people can only eat cheap food with side effects. Medicines can only relieve pain through some social compulsory medical treatment, and many of those caregivers not only have to run for a living, but also have to find ways to take care of these elderly people. I would like to ask everyone, can you solve all this?"

Le Xiao walked directly to the edge of the stage and brought up a light and shadow screen, which was the information K gave him last night.

"I will make this information public later. The living conditions of nursing homes and orphanages for nearly five years. They have been marginalized for many years. Why can't the city help them? Please tell me, why?"

boom

Le Xiao slapped the table directly and then said.

"Don't you know? If you don't know, let Congress be responsible. Congress can be responsible, but these problems are not what Congress can be responsible for. Everyone has childhood, everyone has time to grow old, and when we are weak and helpless, What should we do when we need help? What should we do when we are old and homeless? Please answer me these questions. If you can’t answer them, just listen to me!”
