Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"It hurts, it hurts! You kid, it's true, we are just trying to save your children. We really don't have any malicious intent."

Long Yu looked at the tall man with beard in front of him. His name was Qian Zhuang, and the woman next to him was named Sun Mei. She had delicate and beautiful features, petite figure, and long black hair that was completely knotted. She was squatting on the ground next to her. He looked a little tired, a short guy named Rhodes. He had dark spots on his face and his eyes looked a little fierce.

His son Long Fei and his daughter Long Hong were leaning against Long Yu. There were many things in a small cave, including some medical equipment. The steel cone in Qian Zhuang's body had been pulled out. He was now very Uncomfortable.

Snapped

Sun Mei slapped Qian Zhuang on the back. He grinned in pain and suddenly jumped up.

"What are you doing?"

"The plan was successful. Let's go back to the garbage dump first."

Long Yu still looked at them warily. At the last moment, although Long Yu pulled the trigger, he moved the gun away, otherwise Qian Zhuang's situation would be even worse now. He still didn't quite believe what these guys said.

"If we weren't in an emergency now, I would definitely take you to Mine No. 88 to have a look."

Sun Mei said, Long Yu looked at the three of them with a sneer. His son and daughter were no longer afraid, and the three of them did not seem to be extremely evil people. Now Long Yu just wanted to get rid of them, and then find a way to go back. I brought some dried mushrooms and water. Although I have never been here before, I can go back just by walking along the railway track. Now my wife is already going crazy with anxiety.

But it seemed that the three people in front of him did not intend to let themselves and their children leave. Long Yu had also heard about the incident in Mine No. 88. It was an extremely serious collapse accident and many people died. This happened two years ago. A tragedy occurred in Shimmer City, but as soon as it collapsed, the priests rushed over and rescued most of the people.

And these people said that the high priest Laika was actually a monster. She was responsible for the tragedy in Mine No. 88. She ate many people. When they thought about what happened to Laika on the way back yesterday, what they said Long Yu didn't believe everything from the bottom of his heart.

When Long Yu went to work in other mines, he also heard from some people in Crow that there was a group of people carrying out sabotage activities in Shimmer City, and they started in recent years.

"The three of us were once Crows."

At this time, Sun Mei spoke. Her tone was gentle. Long Yu didn't believe it. Then Sun Mei took off the steam armor on her body and rolled up her sleeves. Sure enough, there was a red crow tattoo on her arm. Qian Zhuang and Qian Zhuang immediately Rhodes did the same.

"We used to be level four crows, and with such generous treatment, do we deserve to do such a thing?"

Sun Mei asked back, Long Yu still shouldn't believe it too much, but he had seen the tattoo in front of him, and every Crow person had it. When he mentioned the Crow, Long Yu thought of his brother Long Curse. He didn't know that he was in the Crow now. how's it going.

"It seems like you won't believe anything you say?"

Qian Zhuang asked, and Long Yu laughed.

"Believe it? Why should I believe you? You violently broke into my home, kidnapped my children, and threatened my family. Believe it? Where on earth have you heard such ridiculous things?"

For a moment, the expressions of the three of them looked a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Long Yu. It's true that what we did was a bit rough, but there's nothing we can do about it. We can't continue to let that monster increase in number. It's true that all of our lives depend on the power of that monster, but now even if we don't rely on We can also survive with the power of that monster, which eats some people every year during the Priest's Day."

Sun Mei said with a serious expression, Long Yu just listened and did not refute anything because he did not believe these three people.

"Laika will find people who can be parasitized by that monster and turn them into monsters too."

Sun Mei said and pointed to the two siblings beside Long Yu, and Long Yu laughed.

"Isn't it because of this power that all of us in Shimmer City are able to survive? Don't you even have the slightest bit of basic gratitude?"

Rhodes laughed.

"Thank you? Boy, it seems like you don't know what kind of city you live in. I won't go into details. Boy, either come with us, or we will kill you directly and take away your children."

Long Yu immediately raised the gun in his hand, but he knew very well that there were only three bullets in the gun, and the three of them were four or five meters away from him.

"You only have three bullets, or after we deal with you, we can deal with your children and reduce the number of monsters that may increase. You have no choice!"

Long Yu stood up, holding the gun in his hands with both hands, and his son Long Fei immediately came over.

"Take your sister to the back and fly Feifei."

"Don't say such things, Rhodes. We are not the kind of vicious people. I'm sorry, Long Yu, we are indeed in the wrong, but I hope you can take your children with us. You will know everything about this city." Yes, come with us to the garbage dump, you will know more."

Looking at Qian Zhuang's serious expression, Long Yu was still hesitating. On the one hand, he wanted to go back, but on the other hand, he didn't want to go back, because if he went back, he would lose his son and daughter. They had been designated as the God's Chosen by the high priest Laika. By.

"There is no harm in going and taking a look. Until you are willing to believe us, you can temporarily store your children here. Sun Mei will be responsible for taking care of them, and you can go back."

"It doesn't matter to me that my legs can no longer be used anymore. The most I can do is have a hole in my body."

Rhodes said, picking up a blade. Finally, Long Yu put down the gun in his hand. Indeed, he had no choice.

After resting for a while, at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Long Yu carried his daughter on his back, led his son and followed the three of them out of the cave. In front of it was a tunnel that didn't lead to where. Such a tunnel was in Shimmer City. There are quite a few of them, and Long Yu has seen them too. Under normal circumstances, citizens are not allowed to enter, because if you get lost in the tunnel, you are likely to die.

These secretly dug tunnels were left by the people who mined the mine at that time, and they seemed to be for the hard things called diamonds.

"How long do we have to go?"

Long Yu asked.

"Almost there."

Sun Mei in front of her said that they had been walking for almost an hour. Her son Long Fei was silent along the way, and the same was true for her daughter Long Hong. The two children seemed to be quite frightened.

"Can't you walk Feifei?"

Long Fei nodded slightly, and then put down his daughter on his back.

"Honghong, come here, daddy will hold you. I'll carry my brother for a while, let him rest for a while, and then I'll switch to you."

"Dad, my feet hurt."

Long Yu hurriedly turned on the light source, checked and found that his daughter's feet were swollen, and he was a little worried.

"Dad, no need, I can just rest for a while and then leave."

Long Yu directly held his daughter in his arms, planning to use his backpack to make a simple shoulder bag and then carry his son on his back.

"If you feel at ease, let me carry your daughter."

Sun Mei said, and Long Yu finally agreed. There are a lot of things in this backpack. If the bottom is punctured, there will be no way to hold anything.

"You are a good father."

Sun Mei praised with a smile, but Long Yu just smiled helplessly.

At around 2 o'clock, a bright white light appeared in front of my eyes, and I arrived.

Long Yu pinched his nose, and a stench spread on the tip of his nose. Sun Mei handed over several masks and asked them to put them on. After the three of them put them on, as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the cave, Long Yu was shocked, and the bath in front of him Under a white light, in this huge mine, garbage is piled up like hills and can be seen everywhere. There are many caves on the four walls, and people inside are coming and going. There are a lot of people. Many people are watching. He felt sick.

"This is a dump."

"Why are there so many people?"

Long Yu couldn't help but ask. At this time, Qian Zhuang pointed to the two huge pipes on the rock coins above the garbage dump.

"A lot of garbage in the city comes here from those two pipes. When it is almost piled up, it will be burned directly. But now no one from Crow comes here because there are many people living here, and the people here can't Go back to any mining town in Shimmer City."

"Why?"

Qian Zhuang laughed bitterly.

"Because secretly the city's higher-ups have been reducing the population over the years, and some people who cannot support themselves have to be exiled to this place in the end."

"Shouldn't the businessmen be able to help?"

Qian Zhuang laughed.

"If businessmen were really willing to help, there wouldn't be so many people living here, and they would have to rely on a few crops from some nearby light fields. People would die here every day."

"Come on, let's go up there. The smell up there will be lighter."

Sun Mei said, Long Yu followed with his son on his back, and followed the three of them. The huge rotating mine looked like a lively market. As they walked up, many people came to ask how the situation was. , and Qian Zhuang just told them that things would turn around.

But this is the turning point, which makes many people shrug their heads, and some people cough from time to time. They are all wearing a lot of clothes made of rags. They look very embarrassed, and their sons are shivering on their backs.

"It's okay Feifei."

Long Yu comforted him. The way up looked short, but in fact it was very far. They walked for nearly an hour before finally reaching the top. At the top of the garbage dump pit, there was a hollowed-out platform, which seemed to have many uses. There are houses built of garbage materials and light fields where many people are busy. The people here look much more energetic than the people below.

As soon as they saw the three people, many people who were still working ran over with joy and greeted the three people. It seemed that the three of them were the actual managers here.

Long Yu glanced at the gate guarded behind him, and it didn't look like that. The life and death of the people below seemed to have nothing to do with them.

"You three will live here. Although the things inside are a bit old, they are still clean."

Sun Mei took Long Yu and the others to a small grotto next to a larger grotto. There was a bed, a table, and three chairs. There was a blanket on the bed and a cushion underneath. Soon, her son and After her daughter ate something and drank some water, she went to sleep. Long Yu sat on the chair a little tired. He lay on the table. He was very tired, but he still didn't dare to sleep.

At this time, accompanied by a scent, Sun Mei held a small basket with three boiled potatoes and a small bowl of thick soup. Long Yu immediately stood up.

"Eat something first. If you want to know more, you can come to me after you rest until night. I'm nearby. You can just ask others."

"Thanks!"

As Long Yu spoke, Sun Mei looked at the two children sleeping on the bed. Long Yu had already devoured the smallest potato, while the other two remained untouched and were put aside. He drank a little bit of soup, and then So I found something to cover it.

"There is no shortage of food here. When the children get up, you can call me and I will ask someone to get them some food."

Long Yu shook his head.

"No."

Sun Mei left with a smile. It could be seen that this man was very responsible and did not want to rely too much on others.

"You should be very tired like this, but I think you will be quite popular."

Sun Mei smiled slightly. She had met this man's wife. She was a beautiful and gentle person. Their family of four should be very happy, but this happiness was broken by them. Sun Mei did not go far and was just in this small grotto. Opposite me, I was talking to a few of my subordinates about something, and I looked in from time to time.

It can be seen that Long Yu is very tired, but he is still holding on because the children are sleeping.

Soon Sun Mei was called over and came to the large grotto where the meeting was held. Qian Zhuang was explaining some things, and many people looked happy.

"Brother Qian, they should have succeeded. As long as they kill the leader of the Dark Crows, the rest of the matter will be much easier."

One person said, and Qian Zhuang nodded. Many of these people were original members of the Crow. After everyone knew the truth, they finally chose to leave the Crow and have been here for four years.

This place had been attacked by priests before. Although the priests were repelled, the casualties were heavy. Therefore, a strong light was set up at the top of the cave. These strong lights were from the No. 19 mine where Long Yu was located. Provided by Ibrasi, there are many technicians like Ibrasi who know the truth and are silently helping them, so this place can survive.

Nowadays, their biggest obstacle is the Dark Crows. Different from the Crows, they are cold-blooded killers who absolutely faithfully execute the orders of the priests. Anyone and anything that dares to threaten the rule of the Priests will be obliterated by the Dark Crows.

Many people who cannot survive will eventually be deported here, not to other places, because people who can be self-sufficient in each place cannot go to other places. In the end, they will only be sent here. Come on, there are many garbage dumps like this.

What made Qian Zhuang most angry was what the high priest Laika did. He witnessed Laika eating some people. He questioned Laika, but Laika said that this was something that had to be done for stability.

Even the people of Crow were the same, those who were investigating outside were not killed in accidents, part of them were eaten by Laika.

Mine Town No. 88 was once a glorious and developed town, but Laika went crazy and devoured everyone. They had witnessed the disaster with their own eyes and could do nothing to stop it.

Ibrasi once said that even without the power of the monsters used by Laila, with their current technology, they can survive completely well.

All this seems extremely unreasonable to them, but the priests have weaknesses. They are afraid of light. As long as they carry a high-intensity light source with them, they don't have to worry. But the only thing they need to worry about is the priests' minions, the Crows. .

In the end, they and some other rebels made a plan to directly kill Mist, the leader of the Dark Crows. This was the most direct way. If an extremely important gear was destroyed, huge chaos would inevitably occur in Shimmer City. In this chaos, as long as everyone knows that what they believe in is not a god at all, but a monster, their plan can succeed.

The plan will begin in the near future. They have internal agents in the Dark Crows and can clearly grasp Mist's movements. As long as he takes to the streets, they can directly kill him, and those who go to Mine No. 1 for the assassination mission They are all elite members of the rebel organization.

Once the gear of Mist is destroyed, the entire Shimmer City will become chaotic.

Many people within the Crows are also helping them, because many people have already understood the truth.

At this time, everyone had gathered together. Their meeting this time was to discuss the direction of the next plan. Many people put forward their own suggestions. Qian Zhuang and Sun Mei just listened. Rhodes smiled happily and held a hand in his hand. With a glass of wine.

"No matter what, things have reached this point. This is the final plan to subvert Shimmer City. I just hope that you can work harder."

Rhodes said, and everyone cheered happily.

The meeting lasted until 9 o'clock in the evening. After Sun Mei had eaten, she brought some food over. The two children seemed to be awake, while Long Yu was lying on the bed and still sleeping. Sun Mei made a shushing sound. With a loud movement, Long Hong smiled happily and took the food, but was immediately grabbed by the brother next to him and pushed back.

Sun Mei had no choice but to put down her food. At this time, a man ran in and said that someone wanted to see Long Yu. Sun Mei followed out in confusion. When she saw a middle-aged man in ragged clothes and unkempt hair, he smiled. standing outside the door.

"I used to work in Mine No. 19, but I didn't expect that Long Yu would also come here. He and I are old acquaintances."

Sun Mei smiled and nodded.

"Give him something to eat."

In a daze, Long Yu was woken up. He saw two children right in front of him, and there was a smell in the house.

Click

Long Yu alertly pointed his gun at the man sitting at the small table. He looked terrible.

"It's me, Long Yu, don't you remember me? We used to drink a lot. When you married the princess, I led someone to help you decorate the wedding scene."

Long Yu was a little surprised. He swallowed and looked at the almost unrecognizable man in front of him.

"Wang Ming?"

Long Yu instantly got up from the bed and put away his gun.

"It's me. We haven't seen each other for almost five or six years."

Long Yu ran over excitedly and held Wang Ming's hand. However, Long Yu remembered that five years ago, Wang Ming took his family to other towns and had not heard from him since then. Why is he here now? here?

"Do you want me to help you take care of the baby?"

Sun Mei leaned against the door. Long Yu finally said yes and ordered the two children to follow Sun Mei.

"Come on, little guys, I'll take you outside to have a look."

His son Long Fei also knew that his father had something important to talk to this uncle of whom he had a vague impression, so he took his sister and left.

"Hey! Don't mention it. I originally thought that I could establish myself in a lively town. The wealth in my hands was quickly exhausted. Only then did I realize that I had been cheated. When I was desperate, I was Some people brought me here and threw me down, and I later found out that they were leaving me to die."

Long Yu swallowed.

"What about the merchants?"

"Don't mention it. I went to see them for help, and they agreed. But I was sent here before I could wait for their help."

Long Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet his old friends here. Long Yu believed everything Sun Mei and the others said before, but he didn't know why he felt repulsive in his heart.

"How long have you been here?"

"More than four years!"

Long Yu looked at Wang Ming in shock.

"Why don't you go back?"

Wang Ming lowered his head and sighed.

"Go back, where can I go? It's not that I haven't tried, but it's impossible to go back. There are people holding hands at some intersections when we go back. We can't go back at all. They let us live here like garbage. Just destroy it.”

"No way, I."

Wang Ming took Long Yu's hand.

"If you don't believe it, I can take you to see that some of the people who left mine No. 19 are also here. The longest one has been here for seven or eight years, but he is already dead."

Long Yu's head was a little confused. He didn't know what to say, because everything in front of him seemed so real, but Long Yu couldn't accept it for a while.

"Don't the priests care?"

Long Yu asked, and Wang Ming laughed.

"If the priests would really help, we wouldn't be in this situation. There are at least 8,000 people in this place, 90% of whom are suffering from some diseases, and many of them are dying. People will die every day."

Long Yu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He sat down and Wang Ming smiled helplessly.

"But it's also my fault for that bastard guy Ibrasi. If he hadn't created something that led to the decline of our No. 19 mine, we wouldn't be here."

Long Yu closed his eyes. In Mine No. 19, people would leave every year. He had no choice but to go to work far away. Fortunately, he knew something. It was impossible to do business because he had no family background, like Wang Ming. There are many people who went into business with their family and ended up being sent here with nothing.

"What on earth is going on!"

"You will know after a while that the priests are monsters!"
