Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"I have had nothing but hatred for the United States countless times and wanted to completely destroy the United States."

Ai Xi's eyes were serious, and he glanced at the time and said.

"It's already 12 noon. You should go have your meal first. I will take you there directly later."

Tommy nodded and handed Ashe a cigarette. Ashe nodded and said.

"Be fully prepared before taking action. Don't be in a hurry."

Tommy nodded happily, the two returned to the palace, and then Tommy left the palace.

"how's it going?"

Oleben asked anxiously, and Tommy shook his head.

"I haven't talked to him yet."

Tommy's eyes were serious, Oleben wanted to know what they talked about, Tommy said.

"Let's talk while eating."

After a while, everyone returned to the spaceship. In the captain's cabin, Tommy looked at the steak that had just been fried to 60% done. It was steaming, and he started to eat.

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Oleben asked, not in the mood to eat.

"What exactly did you talk about?"

Tommy put a piece of hot steak into his mouth and shouted immediately.

"Please give me another piece. This time it will be 70% rare. This time I want the black pepper flavor."

Tommy licked the ketchup on his lips, took a sip of wine, and smiled happily. Looking at Oleben with a worried look on his face, Tommy smiled.

"How to put it! His Majesty and I talked about some situations that Steka has sent to us in recent years."

Oleben nodded and began to eat with his knife and fork. He was observing Tommy, trying to see if he was lying from his expression.

Of course Tommy knew that, so he tried to keep it as relaxed as possible.

"What's the matter, Mr. Oleben?"

Oleben smiled and the two of them had a drink.

"I have to take a look at His Majesty's attitude now. His attitude is currently lukewarm, and the most important thing is that His Majesty doesn't seem to pay much attention to this matter."

"Are you talking about those Stakas who have evolved and are not afraid of special weapons?"

Tommy hummed.

"So I speculate that such an evolution occurred in a collective Steka, so there is no such situation elsewhere. Although this very small part of Steka has evolved, and although they are not afraid of special weapons, they But they can be killed by these high-level Steka."

Oleben became a little confused and asked.

"So what do you think, Mr. President?"

"We can only test it slowly. I have already told His Majesty that we are willing to provide more and more food."

Oleben nodded.

"It does seem like it would be better to be sincere."

After the two had a pleasant meal, Tommy planned to take a rest. He was too tired last night.

Tommy went back to his room to rest, and he soon fell asleep again.

At this time, Oleben arrived in a communication room of the spacecraft and had already begun to report the situation to Area 51.

"Gerald, do you think Tommy lied?"

Gerald has watched the video of the conversation between Tommy and Oleben.

"It's hard to say now. We have to wait and see. But what he said should be true. After all, it was the first time for him to see this kind of creature, and he was in an environment where he could be killed at any time. He should not Dare to speak nonsense like last night."

Oleben smiled helplessly and nodded.

"I hope so."

At this time, a liaison officer knocked on the door.

"what happened?"

"It is His Majesty the Emperor of Steka who invites President Tommy to come with him to the dome in the center of their city."

Oleben was stunned, and others present were also shocked, because only extremely distinguished people could go to that place, and of course Oleben knew that.

But Oleben still felt strange. After all, Brown, the fake presidential clone, had been here several times, but Emperor Ashe had never taken him to the dome house.

"Maybe it's really sincerity."

Oleben muttered, and Oleben woke Tommy up near 2 o'clock. Tommy felt refreshed.

“I didn’t expect to be able to go to that place.”

Tommy seemed a little happy. After a while, he came to the outside of the spacecraft. At this time, Ash had put on a dark mask. He walked over slowly and made a gesture of invitation. Tommy showed a confused look. .

"I'll take you there, Mr. President."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ash floated gently, and in an instant a pair of white wings appeared on his back, and then a white vine-like thing slowly wrapped around Tommy, wrapping Tommy and turning into a chair.

"Your Majesty, why not wait a moment? We have aircraft."

Ash didn't say anything and took off with Tommy.

"It's okay. Since His Majesty invited me, I will naturally go there."

Ashe and Tommy quickly moved through the air. Oleben stood there cold, and the other soldiers didn't know what to do. This was the first time such a situation had occurred.

"Send someone to follow immediately."

After Oleben finished speaking, some soldiers were just about to take action when a burly Steka came over and said.

"Please return to the spaceship. His Majesty will only take the distinguished guests to the dome."

In the end, Oleben nodded. It was unnecessary to worry now. Even if guys like Tommy were gone, they would not have any impact on them. Instead, they could allow people from the two factions to continue to come up.

Tommy couldn't feel the violent airflow in the air, but in less than a minute, Ashe landed with Tommy. Tommy took out a cigarette and two bottles of wine from his pocket and handed it to A bottle of Ashe, which he happily accepted.

The dome house in front of him was very large. When he got there, Tommy realized that he could barely see the edges at a glance. Ashe walked over and raised a hand. At this time, the black vines began to move slowly. When I got up, a small door appeared in the rustling, with light shining inside.

"Let's go."

Tommy followed Ashe and walked in. As soon as he entered, Tommy saw a building not far away, and he felt a little strange.

"What exactly is in here?"

Ash said with a smile.

"This is the presidential residence of the country MX. It is some proof of the existence of this country."

Tommy laughed and walked inside after a while. What Tommy saw was a clean street and a large mansion in front of him. He could tell that it was a block. It looked similar to those in the United States that were full of neon lights. It is different from the colorful neighborhoods and the cold high-rise buildings.

The neighborhood here looks a bit old, but very clean. Tommy stepped on the road and found that the asphalt-filled road was softer than the cement-solidified road. He stepped on it and could see some shop.

Ashe took Tommy to a burger restaurant. The equipment in the store looked new and not old. Tommy became confused.

"After all these years, why is it still so well preserved here?"

Ash smiled.

"I rebuilt it."

Tommy nodded, and the two walked around the street for a while before entering the presidential residence. The ground inside was bare and there was no lawn.

The two sat at the door of the presidential residence, and Ashe asked with a smile.

"Do you know the history of this country?"

Tommy shook his head.

"I only know a small part of it. I heard that it is a poor, backward, and extremely barbaric country. That's what the information says."

Ai Xi hummed, showing a helpless expression.

"This used to be a sinful country. The whole country was controlled by gangs. They did all kinds of evil. My father died at the hands of gangs. I still remember that when my grandfather and I received the news of my father's death, we There wasn’t a single tear. But it was as if the whole person collapsed in an instant.”

Tommy handed Ashe a cigarette, he smiled and raised his head contentedly and said.

"Tell me the story here."

Ash nodded.

"This used to be a passionate and fertile land, but it changed after it was favored by the United States of the World. They destroyed the foundation of this country by dumping food, and then controlled everything in this country."

Ash stood up, led Tommy into the presidential residence, and then pointed to the map on the wall and started talking.

After MX was controlled by the United States of the World, it became poorer and poorer, and wars broke out frequently in the country. In the end, many people couldn't survive and began to grow certain harmful crops, and then sold the harmful items to the United States of the World.

In the end, the gang members rose up one by one, turned their backs on the United States, and frantically turned the country into a paradise for harmful crops. Most of the people in the country eventually became the accomplices of the gang members.

"My father was a mayor at the time. He strongly opposed the cultivation of this harmful crop. In the end, he was silenced by gang members. My mother also died together. They killed everyone related to my father. . Fortunately, my parents had a clear relationship with me when they left."

Ashe looked a little sad, Tommy said helplessly.

"Sorry, it's really unbelievable."

Tommy couldn't imagine it, but now the United States of the world is experiencing serious problems due to the proliferation of these harmful substances. Tommy can understand this feeling.

"and after?"

"My father once had a biologist friend named Witte, who was also working on biologically eliminating this harmful crop. He was leading a study to breed a super insect that could kill this harmful crop. They feed on crops and are not afraid of pesticides and other things. They reproduce super fast."

Tommy laughed.

"It's a crazy idea. Did your father's friend succeed?"

Ai Xi nodded.

"He succeeded because his father illegally provided him with a large amount of funds for research, so his hiding place was betrayed. When I saw the world news report, a mysterious insect swept many countries in the southern part of Y state. After that, I knew it was a success.”

Ash was saying things that were unimaginable to Tommy, he said.

"Then this scientist is really benefiting all mankind."

Ai Xi smiled helplessly.

"At that time, gang members all over the world were looking for him. His insects accidentally mutated in the process of sweeping harmful crops, and a large-scale biological disaster struck."

Tommy hummed, and Ash said helplessly.

"When the disaster struck MX, in order to protect their own interests, the gangs asked everyone to hold tools and physically kill the bugs. However, the bugs reproduced faster and faster, and eventually the entire world was plagued by bugs. A very big problem occurred, and then came the catastrophe that destroyed the entire world.”

Tommy nodded.

"So what does this have to do with the birth of Steka?"

Ash raised a finger, and Tommy saw some small gaps on his finger. These gaps opened, and Tommy could see more clearly. They were somewhat different from the structures of other Stekas he had seen.

"Like bugs."

Ai Xi nodded.

"Someone was parasitically infected by this bug. This bug began to evolve and mutate again, and then stayed in the human body. Because the human body contains a large number of harmful crop components, these bugs desperately penetrated into the human body. Begins to parasitize and mutate.”

Tommy couldn't figure out why such a thing happened, and how Steka's biological structure was completely different from that of humans.

"After that, many people in this land died in pain due to the devastation of a large amount of unknown radiation. But there was an exception, and Steka appeared. Later I learned that they came from the laboratory deployed by the United States in MX. The bodies of those who escaped have begun to resemble the current Steka, but the only problem is that they are not able to convert the food they eat into energy through tears like the current Steka."

Tommy hummed.

"These people were tortured in various ways in the institute, and even injected with harmful crop extracts. These bugs naturally found their targets, and when these bugs entered their bodies, their bodies Amazing changes have taken place, and he has become able to eat many things that normal people cannot eat."

Tommy understood.

"It was an accident like this that gave birth to Steka."

Ash smiled and nodded.

"So how did you become Steka?"

Ash sighed.

"It was an accident that I became Steka. I won't talk about it for now. It's because I was contaminated with their blood."

"blood?"

Tommy became confused. Although there was bodily fluid in Steka's body, scientists had been studying it for a long time and there was nothing special about it.

Ash laughed, then pointed to his eyes.

"Tears to be precise."

Tommy swallowed, then Ash said.

"Haven't you noticed that humans in the United States are becoming more and more adaptable to the outside world, and there will always be mutants, plus some cyborgs."

Tommy understood.

"Are you saying that humans are being assimilated into Steka by the new energy they are using?"

Ash laughed, then nodded.

"So you know why I'm not worried anymore? Because it won't be long before humans will become Steka. As long as they are still using the energy produced by Steka, this assimilation will take about 50 years, and it's almost there now. ." (End of chapter)
