Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

8 o'clock in the morning.

Area 102 on the ground floor, close to the stench area, has begun to become noisy. Many people in the barrier area have come out of their shacks and are having breakfast. Next to the newly built ring road, many city vendors are selling various products. Various snacks.

Everyone is extremely happy every day now, because the city's economy has completely improved. In the past, it was very difficult for many people at the bottom to earn 500 yuan a month, but now some vendors can earn 500 yuan a day. piece.

Compared with the past, this is already a very amazing income. Many people have very good visions for the future. Most people have made money recently. Many people have used this kind of small stalls to pay off the money they owed before. Paid off.

Many people have already planned to prepare for pregnancy, because now a large number of birth quotas have been opened in cities, many people have applied for reproductive rights, and the marriage rate has increased significantly.

Many young men and women are living a little easier now, because many people are rumored that the city is about to abolish the citizenship class and collect taxes based on actual monthly income.

Some people in the industry are also hearing about this, and many people have a clear and beautiful understanding of the future.

Compared with the past, everything now is worth the efforts of most people, because as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to make money in this situation, and your efforts will definitely be well rewarded.

Now the administrative department has relaxed a bit and allowed some people from the barrier areas to enter the city, because the people in the barrier areas did not cause any riots in the city, but instead created income for many people at the bottom of the city.

People at the bottom also began to coexist peacefully with people in the city, because many people also understood some of the people in the barrier areas after coming into contact with them.

Many people in the barrier area have changed a lot. They no longer wear tattered clothes, and some even put on new clothes. Some children in the barrier area work as helpers in nearby shops and earn a few dollars a day. ten bucks.

And soon two areas prepared for people in the barrier area will be built. The first batch of people to settle in the barrier area will also enter these two areas and obtain temporary citizenship. If there is no trigger within three months If you have any questions, you can obtain formal citizenship and enjoy all the benefits in the urban area.

Now as long as everyone works hard as always, we will soon be able to see a better life in the future. There is a woman wearing enchanting clothes on the street, selling some handmade toys for children. Many children in the barrier area are buying this. A woman dressed up like a clown is constantly soliciting children.

"Kids, this toy is very fun."

After saying that, the woman took out a mechanical mouse and turned the spring. The old book quickly rolled in circles on the ground. It looked very fun. This kind of mechanical mouse costs 3 yuan a piece, which is too valuable for many children in the barrier area. Attractive.

Although it is expensive, for many children, they can afford it now. The man holding a bundle of balloons on the side is also wearing makeup and looks like a clown.

At this time, some people from Department 5 passed by on the street talking and laughing. Their eyes were solemn. After waiting for the people from Department 5 to leave, the two of them resumed their smiles.

The two of them had already sold toys and balloons in just a few dozen minutes. They were husband and wife. Some nearby vendors knew them and knew that they were from the north. An old man in the family had just passed away and lived on the road. I rented a small room nearby and after selling out every morning, I went home and started making new toy balloons.

These gadgets are now very popular around here, and people in the barrier area like them very much. The couple ate some noodles on the street, and then went home.

Crystal chuckled as soon as she entered the door.

"It's like now we're back in time."

Suok nodded. He lifted up his sleeves. Some black and red spots appeared on his arms. His body was almost dying. He still had 3 gene enhancers, which would be enough for him to use for half a year at most. After half a year, if Without genetic enhancers to supplement it, his life as a clone will come to an end.

During this period, the two of them were active on the fringes of the city, because there were not many surveillance systems in these places, and the most important thing was that there were no DNA detectors installed here yet, but the density of interrogations in Section 5 was very high.

Fortunately, during this period of time, the two of them went to sell things when the people from Section 5 were not patrolling that area, and they were not interrogated. Over time, everyone around them became familiar with them.

The people in Section 5 also thought that they were from the neighborhood, so they did not interrogate the two. After all, Section 5 is basically maintaining traffic order on some streets and helping some vendors.

Including asking some vendors to clean up on the spot, Crystal looked at Suoke aside and asked.

"What should we do now? How about killing a few people in the business department for fun?"

Suoke shook his head, washed his face, sat down, and continued to take out some raw materials, intending to start making some small items, and then continue to sell them in the afternoon.

"Don't do such boring things."

Crystal stood up and tried to stop Thok, but he laughed.

"When I was a child, I actually liked these small objects. I liked them very much."

Sok smiled, and Crystal came over and squatted aside watching Sok start making small toys, she smiled.

"You're just a clone. You never had a child at all. Those are just memories after Sok's death."

Sok smiled awkwardly.

"Indeed, these flowers are a bit unconvincing when told by a clone of me, but humans have emotions because they have memories. Do you think I have emotions?"

Crystal said with a sigh.

"I don't want to discuss this kind of issue of right and wrong with you. The existence of human cloning is the most cruel thing to human beings. If you suddenly appeared in front of Niya, what would she think?"

Sok laughed and shook his head.

"I may slowly die here. If I die, remember to throw me into the ravine. After all, I am just a waste produced by human society."

Crystal hummed and said.

"I'll throw you right in."

After speaking, Crystal came to the bed, took off her clothes, and said with a smile.

"Come here quickly and let us have a good time before you die."

Sok ignored it and continued to make gadgets. He knew very well that this woman did not regard him as a human being from the first day he woke up, but as a tool. Crystal had never looked at him.

Sok looked at the crystal and smiled helplessly.

"Forget it, I'm not interested today. Let's finish it quickly. We have to go out to sell things in the afternoon."

Crystal turned around, pulled up the quilt and covered her head, and planned to go to sleep directly. Crystal was in pain in her heart at this time. She couldn't do anything, and she couldn't be happy no matter what she did. The city now has completely changed.

The changes in the city now make Crystal extremely unhappy. It should not be like this. The situation in the city in the past was completely different from the present. Crystal once thought that the city would be as they expected and everything would be reshuffled in the end, but things started to backfire. .

Crystal hates it in his heart every day. He sees more and more smiling faces of the people. In Crystal's view, these smiles are unbearable, because it is obvious that the people at the bottom have suffered so much humiliation, but now they are just With a little bit of sweetness, they were all smiles.

Such a smile hurts Crystal's heart every day. She just wants the city to be shattered. Only in this way can the city be reborn.

Listening to Suoke still playing with those gadgets, Crystal stood up angrily and roared.

"Have you done enough? I want to rest and sleep."

Suok picked up the box and was about to go out, but Crystal grabbed Suok, pulled him back to the bed and pressed him down, and then moved closer. Suok wanted to push Crystal away, but finally gave up.

Suok knew very well that Crystal just wanted to vent, and he did not refuse. After a while, Suok felt a little tired, but Crystal still had no intention of stopping.

"enough."

Sok pushed Crystal away, but Crystal still crawled over and pressed Sok crazily. She really just wanted to vent. Every day now, Crystal felt as if she was going crazy. The uneasiness and anger in her heart were all the time. It was all irritating her nerves, and she just wanted to tear everything to pieces.

After a while, Crystal lay limply on the bed. Sok stood up and continued to pick up the box. Crystal chuckled.

"Okay, you can continue here. I'll fall asleep soon when I'm tired."

Sok put down the box and continued to work on it. He knew very well that if this continued, the crystal would definitely do something terrible. Once the crystal did something, Sok's last little moment of peace would disappear.

Sok now has to find a way to control the crystal. His head is clear. Although he can't contact other people now, they still have a chance. As long as they can gather together, they still have a chance. Although the city is stable now , but there are still many unstable factors.

In Sock's view, such cities have made great progress compared to before, but there are very big hidden dangers. Although a large number of labor forces will be needed in the future, these labor forces will also cause very large industry competition. Now this kind of industry competition has been highlighted.

Under such circumstances, excessive consumption will begin. Originally, the size of Brilliant City was very stable, but now it is different. The influx of so many people in the barrier area will cause excessive consumption of resources. Brilliant City cannot survive Increase the size in a short period of time.

So now there is a very large material gap on the market. The current situation is very good to the naked eye for everyone in the city, but no one has noticed the bomb hidden in this prosperous era.

Now the material consumption of the entire city has been many times that of before. In addition, due to construction, especially the production of food has been completely exhausted.

Many people's daily food is liquid food, and many businesses selling normal food do not eat normal food themselves because they want to make money.

Suoke looked at the very busy road outside. This road outside the stench area has become a popular commercial district at the bottom of Brilliant City.

A large number of individual traders are now concentrated in this place. Many traders can earn hundreds of dollars a day, and this situation will not last long.

Sock has gone to find suppliers several times recently. It is very difficult to get the raw materials for these small toys. He has to wait in line for a long time every night to get the raw materials.

After Suoke finished some small toys, he started coloring. After a while, more than 30 toys were ready. After selling them in the afternoon, they could earn more than 40 yuan. During this period, they could only make ends meet by setting up a stall. And buy some drugs to refine some of the ingredients in the drugs to make genetic drugs.

Sock's current physical condition is very bad. He must rely on this cheap genetic drug to maintain his body functions. Sock's body is feeling a little uncomfortable now. He took out some genetic drugs from the cabinet and swallowed them. .

Then Suoke planned to go to the streets and take a look. Every day he would record the patrol time of the nearby Section 5. The two of them would not go to the side of the road during the patrol time of Section 5. They did not want to collide with the people of Section 5. arrive.

After Sok went downstairs, he started wandering around. Just after he passed the corner of the street, Sok bumped into some patrolling Section 5 people. He turned around in a hurry, but at this time several people from Section 5 noticed. He ran over quickly.

"Sir, wait."

Suok lowered his head and pretended not to hear, and walked quickly. A person from Section 5 chased after him. Suok suddenly felt psychological pressure, but he could only stop and ask.

"What's up?"

The person from Section 5 said with a smile.

"Sir, there is something on your clothes."

Only then did Suok notice that it was plastic paper. Suok smiled helplessly and said thank you. The clerk looked very young and enthusiastically helped Suok take off the plastic paper.

"You do some painting work, sir."

The young man from Section 5 saw Sok's hands covered with paint and deduced it. Sok smiled and shook his head.

"No, I make small toys."

The person in Section 5 remembered something, he said.

"You are the one who holds balloons and makes up as a clown every day, right? Your wife is selling toys."

Sok hummed and then said.

"I have to go to the factory to see and purchase goods."

After watching the people from Section 5 leave, Suok came to an alley. After he squatted down, his whole body became numb. He looked at the sweat in his hands and felt extremely difficult. He only had memories of the past, and he was always living in the past. In his memory, Sock became increasingly confused about his identity as a mutant.

"How about I go talk to Niya?"

Sok thought of Niya, but the next moment he rejected such an idea.
