Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"Good morning, Mr. Noah!"

November 4, 2276 at 7 a.m.

Nigel lay lazily on a crystal panel, surrounded by crystal display screens embedded in the wall, with various values ​​on them. Nigel sat comfortably on a comfortable chair, with a A cup of steaming coffee, in a room full of mechanical facilities. This is a place for frequent communication with Brilliant City. It is in charge of the commanders of the five major armies and some senior officials from the technical department.

Today it happened to be Nigel's turn. He was actually looking forward to talking to the man named Noah in Bright City.

The moving value lines on the panel in front of you are still stable, which means they are not connected yet.

AI will record everything on the call, and will be analyzed by some psychologists later. The only thing that is certain now is that Noah has been lying, and has been communicating with them with lies that look formal, but are actually like children.

The two countries will officially establish diplomatic relations next year, and Nigel is looking forward to it. In the past few years, their conversations have been to test each other. Although they were called aborigines at first, it was to get some useful information after provocation. , as a result, the other party was not angry, and did not get the useful information as expected. Now, except for himself and Hert, other guys are still using the discriminatory and insulting term aboriginal.

It's just that Noah, the representative of Brilliant City, didn't show any anger at all. Instead, he always talked about something and nothing, and didn't seem to be affected at all.

The waiting process is always very long. Nigel recalled that he had a lot of chats with the Queen in her bedroom yesterday. It was obvious that the Queen now wanted to consolidate her dominance, and such a rule would need to be extended.

Nigel couldn't explain the current situation in the empire for a while. He always felt like a quagmire. Nigel probably knew the reason. Many people had developed inertia and relied on their own clones to make a living. They are indeed very good. Some residents have more than ten clones of themselves and live a hedonistic life every day.

But it is wrong to continue like this. Some people have completely lost motivation, because they can live very easily even without moving forward. Hert has done this very well. In the past few years, the Third Army has basically not had any soldiers. Having clones is a mandatory measure and order from Helt.

You can only rely on yourself to support yourself. This is the only option Hert gives to everyone in the Third Army. This is the reason why the Third Army is strong. Nigel has also considered referring to the Third Army's system to rectify his own Group Army, but finally gave up.

However, although the measures of the Third Army have good points, the disadvantages are also obvious. If they rely on themselves to support themselves, their life will inevitably be more difficult, so they have to rely on the support of some businessmen, and businessmen are the founders of and The most closely integrated group is the main body of this country and controls most of the resources in society.

These people belong to different camps from the founders. In the end, the Queen's internal control is seriously insufficient. The only thing the Queen can control is absolute power, but this power has now been divided, and most of all The key issue is the successor.

There are currently a total of 6 candidates for the heir. They are all the children of the founders. Katerina has no descendants. Nigel vaguely heard his father-in-law say before that the young queen once did something ridiculous. After that, she has been lonely until now and has not found anyone to marry.

The father-in-law did not tell Nigel about the specific matter because it was a secret that the Queen was not allowed to disclose. Some people said that the Queen’s life was a life obsessed with power, and she strictly controlled everything in her hands. Now the Queen is 50 Too much, it’s time to hand over your rights.

Nigel has never thought about it this way. The Queen has never thought about handing over her power at all. Recently, people from the founder family have been asking the Queen to decide on the next King of Asgard as soon as possible. Moreover, in this situation More frequent.

The founders even deliberately concocted some things in society and then let the people speak out, just to let the queen make a decision as soon as possible. However, it seems that the queen no longer intends to endure it anymore, and she will start her own purge.

Judging from the fact that Helt can be pardoned for the betrayal he has done in private over the years to overthrow the rule, it is certain that the current queen will do her best to rectify everything internally.

Starting from the middle of this month, the five major armies will begin to frantically expand their armaments and recruit some young people to join the army to expand the number of troops, all for the upcoming war.

This is what the Queen must do. Once the war starts, those restless factors will disappear, and through the war, all domestic problems can be legitimately integrated.

That's why the Queen will directly release some news in the near future, especially about the fact that life expectancy is extended. In the past few days, Nigel has attended many banquets, but most people are skeptical, because The news they released previously gave many people in the country the wrong impression. The Brilliant City that existed on the mother planet was a country with low technological capabilities, and it was impossible to develop life-extending drugs.

At this time, along with the fluctuation of the numerical value line, a lazy voice came.

"Sorry, Mr. Nigel, I fell asleep and was too busy last night!"

Noah yawned, sounding like he had just woken up.

"What are you busy with recently? I heard from other colleagues that you seem to be busy with something important."

"Hey, let's not mention it. After all, I am the leading scientist in the city. I have been busy doing research on waste recycling recently. It is really difficult."

Nigel said with a relaxed smile.

"That is indeed difficult, but we are different. We will directly crush some waste into particles and put it directly into space."

"That's really easy and convenient. You should be able to find a lot of resources in space. We are somewhat lacking in resources here, or there is no way to mine them. After all, mining is too difficult. You have to be careful when going out. After all, you may inhale them accidentally. The deadly substance will kill you immediately, hahaha!"

Noah still looked cheerful, Nigel continued.

"By the way, Mr. Noah, I want to ask a question."

"you say."

Nigel thought for a while and then said.

"Mr. Noah, how old are you this year?"

"It's about the same as you, less than 40."

Nigel's eyes were suspicious, and he continued.

"It's just that I think Mr. Noah gives me the impression that you are more like an elder who can see everything."

"People often say this to me, Mr. Nigel, maybe we can only chat for a while today, I have to attend a scientific seminar later."

Nigel hummed.

"Mr. Noah, I heard before that you have a new talented secretary who is just 26 years old. I remember his name is Mr. Le Xiao!"

"Yep!"

Noah said, his voice became a lot more cheerful.

"That's really amazing. It's just that at the age of 26, he is qualified for such a position. There is no such talent in our country. If there is a chance, I hope to communicate with this genius in Bright City."

Hahaha!

There was a burst of laughter, and Nigel was a little confused.

"Okay, if you are willing, I will arrange it."

"Then please make arrangements with Mr. Noah. We hope to communicate with the young people in Bright City."

Nigel sensed that this was an opportunity. Although the information revealed that this was indeed the 26-year-old genius secretary Le Xiao, he looked a bit out of place, but to be able to sit in this kind of position, it was absolutely impossible to rely on connections or money to climb the ladder. Up.

From the intelligence of the guy named superior.

Incompetent people will never be able to rise to the top, and Noah has always been hiding some things in the conversations over the years, but these things are also available in the intelligence. Now Nigel feels that he has touched every detail of the Brilliant City. The next step is to further communicate with them, and Noah's character is indifferent to things like power.

On the contrary, they are very enthusiastic about technology, but the exchanges between the two parties have only been superficial, and there has never been a serious discussion on technology issues.

"In a few days, I will report directly to Secretary Le Xiao."

Nigel's expression became serious.

"Thank you very much. We hope to have further communication with the managers of Bright City in the future."

"No problem, okay Mr. Nigel, I have to go to the meeting now. Let's talk about it next time."

After the communication ended, Nigel stood up and immediately turned around and started walking. After quickly leaving the room, he quickly took the elevator to the top floor. Sure enough, just as he got on a flying car, he received a call from Queen's Contact.

"I know Her Majesty the Queen, I will come right away."

Not far away was the founder's palace, and Nigel sped over in his flying car. He entered the palace within a few minutes, and then went to the queen's bedroom as a confidant.

"His Majesty."

"Next time, let me communicate with this genius."

Katerina said with a smile as soon as she entered, Nigel was a little surprised.

"This may not be appropriate."

"There is nothing wrong with it. There are not many opportunities like this. I just hope that this exchange can establish the communication video connection."

Nigel immediately understood that what the Queen wanted to do, a video discussion before the formal establishment of diplomatic relations was very necessary, because so far the only person in Bright City who had communicated with them was the scientist Noah, and They also expressed their hope to talk to others many times, but received no response from Bright City.

This was a breakthrough. The reason why Katerina planned to talk to the secretary named Le Xiao in person was just to let the other party know that she had used the highest-level people to talk to them, and they should also use their skills to talk to them. Come with sincerity.

Once you have established a video discussion with the other party, you can use the video to see what the leaders of Brilliant City look like. You can see something from their micro-expressions.

Although such a video symposium is the same for both parties, more information can be obtained before establishing diplomatic relations, which will be beneficial to everything thereafter.

"Nigel, I hope you can urge Helt directly and give him three days at most. I don't want to dwell on small issues like the clone front anymore. If Helt can't finish it at the moment, then Your second group army will eliminate the people on the list, leaving no one behind. All mutants on the clone front will be eliminated. In the next five years, these people will not be cloned."

"I understand, Your Majesty!"

8:19 am

Stukov quietly watched the carrier ship slowly leave Space Station No. 69, and Jinna beside him had become the new governor here, and Weston also left with the departure of the carrier ship.

"I will take over from now on, Stukov, happy cooperation!"

Jinna stretched out her hand with a smile, and Stukov shook it. At this time, Jinna asked.

"By the way, Stukov, where is Miss Katerina?"

Stukov shook his head and said helplessly.

"Perhaps it's because Yuna's incident has too much impact, so she should stay alone for the time being."

I don’t know where Katerina went in a hurry yesterday. I went to the Space Dance Bar and asked. Katerina didn’t go there, and I still don’t know where she went. Although Stukov vaguely felt that she would He would not go to Hult, but he immediately ruled out such an idea.

"By the way, Miss Jin Na, a new batch of individual combat weapons have just arrived. Can you give us the identification code?"

"Of course, no problem. You can come directly over later and we will connect the identification codes. After all, time is running out and the battle will begin in full force soon."

Stukov hummed, and a hint of cunning flashed in Jinna's eyes. She looked at the frail man in his fifties in front of her. He couldn't hold on much longer. The general had already told him to just kill him. All the clone fronts are in a happy mood.

Jinna thought of Weston. He originally wanted to stay a few more days, but in the end Weston proposed to go back with the general. It seemed that he could no longer bear the pressure.

There are many members of the clone front at Space Station 69, with more than 200 people. Jin Na has already made all plans before coming here. She will directly use the memory given by the queen at a certain point in time for certain things. The module activates the city-wide sleep, allowing these members of the clone front to come over, conduct simulation training on driving new equipment, and then focus on their extermination.

This plan was the quickest, as they would be shot directly. Jinna and Stukov entered the elevator of the control tower and planned to return to the governing building.

"By the way Stukov, the new equipment is more stable than the previous one, but it requires driving training. After all, you are prepared. In a few days, I hope everyone will come over and do some training. I will send special drivers to you. Explaining driving issues.”

Stukov nodded and said gratefully.

"You are indeed prepared."

Stukov also felt that this woman named Jinna was very strict. After all, large-scale operations were about to begin at the end of the month, and there was not much time left for them. It would be better to just start driving for a week or two. If you train, you won't have the problem of being in a hurry.

"There is another question, Mr. Stukov, about the traitor Yuna. We still haven't found out where she went."

Stukov's face turned serious and he nodded.

"We have to find her, as soon as possible!"

Stukov hummed. Jinna has arranged for some people to monitor Stukov and some people on the clone front. If Yuna really comes here, she will definitely contact these people first, but for now It seems that Yuna did not contact them, and it is possible that Yuna has turned into dust in the universe.

The pursuing army may have directly annihilated Yuna.

However, at this moment, the moment Jinna and Stukov entered the executive building, Jinna felt something strange. Because the person she arranged was not there, she looked around with some suspicion. At this time, the hall It was empty, and the two continued walking. When they arrived in front of the elevator, on the left side, Katerina was leaning against the wall quietly.

"Where have you been Katerina."

Stukov asked, then introduced.

"This is Miss Jin Na who is in charge of contacting us now."

Katerina nodded with a dull expression, and then walked over slowly. Jinna smiled and stretched out her hand. However, the next second, Jinna suddenly turned sideways and avoided it. With a whoosh, Katerina's hand was The blade of the knife slashed directly over, and Jin Na nimbly stepped aside, taking out the gun in her hand and pointing it at Katerina.

"What are you doing Katerina?"

The moment Stukov finished speaking, there was a violent alarm sound, and Jinna immediately realized something. The door of the ruling office slowly fell down, and with a bang, the door closed.

At this time, from some doors in the corridor, including other passages in the hall, people from the clone front came out one by one, holding weapons in their hands and aiming at Jinna.

"What are you doing?"

Stukov asked. He saw the hesitation on many people's faces, as if they were not sure about anything.

"The betrayer is not Yuna, but the Third Army who has silently supported us all these years."

As soon as Katerina finished speaking, Stukov looked at Jinna in shock, and Jinna laughed.

"Don't be deceived by this woman. You know better than me what the relationship between her and Yuna is. They have agreed to the empire's conditions. Catch them, otherwise our plan will be exposed."

Hesitation and suspicion were written on everyone's cheeks, because many people had seen the video communication records sent by Space Station 55, but early this morning, Katerina summoned them together and told them some shocking facts. , they have been betrayed by the supporters behind the scenes, and now the supporters behind the scenes want to clean up their clone front.

Regarding such a thing, many people were angry at first, because Katerina's words were convincing, but now that Jinna said this, many clones hesitated.

"Katerina, what exactly do you want to do?"

Stukov roared angrily, but Katerina stared at Jinna unmoved.

"I believe in Yuna. She will never betray us. Everything has been tampered with by them. Don't you know that memory can be tampered with?"

Katerina said, the atmosphere in the room was extremely tense at this time. Early this morning, Katerina notified the newly arrived Star Forces, telling them that Yuna was hiding in a factory on the space station, and that they had all mobilized. We went to investigate, and then Katerina made excuses to disarm some of the Star Force members in the ruling office and arrest them. None of them told the truth. It seemed that they did not know anything.

"I didn't expect that you, the one with the strongest faith, would betray me."

Jinna said something. At this time, Stukov didn't know who to believe. He hesitated. Katerina moved slowly. Everyone was waiting for Stukov to confirm something. Katerina Na also realized it.

Because most clones would rather believe the facts before them than believe what they say.

"Now that everyone knows it, I can also tell you that it is true that our Third Army has been supporting you all these years, and this time we have brought a lot of new equipment. If we really intend to solve what you and the empire exchange , why do we need to transport new equipment all the way? I just suggested to Stukov that you all gather together to install the identification code first, and then conduct training driving on the new equipment."

Stukov nodded silently. His mind was very confused and he didn't know what was going on.

"Where is Yuna?"

Stukov asked, and suddenly Katerina suddenly possessed her and started running. There was a loud bang, followed by a fierce white light. When Stukov closed his eyes, he had already seen Katerina broke the window and ran out.

Katerina ran wildly on the street. The only place she could go now was the maintenance room on the outer floor of the space station.

"Why doesn't everyone believe me!"

Katerina felt that the situation had become extremely bad. At this time, he thought of Helt. When she planned to come over to inform everyone of the facts, she was blocked by Helt. Yuna originally planned to come with him, but after Helt Under Erte's strong dissuasion, Yuna finally chose to stay.

"This way!"

A voice sounded, and Katerina stopped. She immediately stretched out a hand and pulled Katerina into the alley. At this time, many people walked towards the executive office because they didn't know what happened. Big deal, the Star Force is already heading that way.

"what you do?"

Katerina looked at the tightly wrapped Helt, and he immediately pulled Katerina and ran.

"Don't go to the outside of the space station from the original passage. It won't work. We have to take a small shuttle there. I know how to get out, trust me."

Looking at the man holding her hand, Katerina was a little surprised. What this man who looked timid and weak said was correct.

"Don't worry, Miss Katerina, I will find a way."
