Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Chapter 736 Special Chapter. Heavenly Punishment IV

"What do you want to do when you grow up?"

A woman smiled gently and was ironing some clothes in the room. In the small and somewhat chaotic space, a white-haired boy stared intently at the images of humans landing on the moon.

“I want to be an astronaut mom!”

"That's great. He wants to be an astronaut. My son is really ambitious!"

In a daze, I came back to my senses and watched the news playing on the old TV on the street. I recalled what I had thought about when I was a child. But in a city like this, in a place like this, that tiny dream quickly will be swallowed up by reality.

Many people have started talking about the various feats that NAS has announced to the world in the past, and what it has done since then due to the deterioration of the world environment.

And what NAS has discovered now, Bai Tou stood quietly at a telephone pole on the street, listening carefully to what was happening in the news.

A huge plan is about to begin. NAS has directly released recruitment information to scientific researchers around the world, hoping to bring together the world's top scientists to carry out the next huge plan to land on an asteroid.

"What the hell am I doing?"

Bai Tou smiled, took out his pocket, and found that there were no more cigarettes. He touched other pockets, and looked at the medicine on hand with a helpless smile. The last 100 yuan had already been given to the drugstore. Don't talk about it now. After buying cigarettes, I didn’t even have my own dinner.

"I can only go to Lao Li's place for a meal."

Bai Tou smiled and walked away. Everything here will come to an end sooner or later. Everything is dilapidated and dilapidated everywhere. The people in power seem to have given up on everything here. No one intends to clean up this mess.

In Bai Tou's eyes, the world today is as bad as it gets. Developed countries are trying every means to protect their country's coastlines, while wars are raging all over the world, and businessmen are still living a life of ease. Especially those businessmen who are involved in the war.

The only people who suffer are those who are poor, or we are born into a poor class. No one is willing to do something about all this, because everyone cannot protect themselves.

The reason why this place can continue to endure is because everyone needs such a black zone to release their suppressed emotions.

Bai Tou walked to a dilapidated apartment building. A lot of children were playing on the dirt floor. After Bai Tou walked over, several younger children came closer. Bai Tou dug out the bottom of his pocket, and then smiled helplessly and shook his head. Shake his head.

Several residents greeted him, and Bai Tou walked up the cracked stairs and returned to his hut. It was very clean, but the furnishings were also very monotonous. Bai Tou took out a pack of cigarettes from home. , lying on the bed tiredly.

I couldn't do anything, I couldn't do anything. This feeling was terrible. There was a cough from the next door. Bai Tou stood up and touched his pocket. He could only open the door with a helpless smile and walked to the side. Large single apartment.

This is where an old man lives. He lives a good life. I heard that he used to be a scientist. But in Bai Tou’s opinion, he should be the kind of scientist who doesn’t have any particularly good research results. After all, if there are really good ones, Research results will not come to this kind of place.

dong dong dong

Bai Tou knocked on the door, and an old man with gray hair and a rickety figure opened the door. He covered his mouth and was still coughing.

"Can I help you, sir?"

The old man took Bai Tou's hand and pulled him into the house. The originally large apartment had a large number of books piled everywhere, and the only place where he could stand was a small area in the kitchen and living room.

Baitou earns a little extra money by running errands for the old man on weekdays.

"There's no money left!"

The old man said with a smile, and the white head nodded.

"You didn't think of me until you had no money? Okay, you can make a copy of these things for me."

As the old man spoke, he took out a note that looked a little messy. Although Bai Tou couldn't understand these things, he would copy them carefully every time. The way he recorded some notes made the old man agree.

Bai Tou found a place where he could stand and began to read the notes carefully.

"Why is it so troublesome every time? It's better to just use the computer."

"It's unreliable to get things. It's more safe to write them by hand. Come on, stop talking nonsense and copy them quickly."

Bai Tou began to copy it carefully. After understanding the order of the notes, he listed the messy fonts and some things that looked like formulas in detail.

The old man nodded with satisfaction, then took out 100 yuan and put it on the table, and brought an ashtray over.

"I'm talking about Bai Tou, haven't you ever thought about learning something? You are obviously very smart."

"What's the use of learning it?"

Bai Tou held a cigarette in his mouth and asked back. Bai Tou smiled helplessly.

"You are only in your 20s, and there are still many years to come. What are you going to do? Have you thought about the future?"

"It's not your turn to talk about it this time, but have you had any great research results before?"

The old man smiled.

"I sold one of the particle collision technologies to NDS, so now I have no worries about food and clothing."

Bai Tou looked at the old man in surprise.

"Really or not, then you should live in a villa now, drive a luxury car, and have a robot butler."

The old man laughed heartily and shook his head.

"I still like this kind of monotonous life. By the way, I have written some books recently. You can copy them for me and I will pay you."

The old man said as he placed a large pile of manuscripts in front of Bai Tou.

"Destroyer of Worlds?"

Bai Tou laughed and looked at the pile of manuscripts with interest. It looked like the same thing, but he didn't have time to read these things, so he could just copy them.

"I'll be going out in a few days, so I'll ask you to help me look after my house. It's 100 yuan a day."

"What a deal? Old man, where are you going?"

The old man said with a smile.

"Go to the World Scientific Congress."

As he said this, the old man took out an exquisite invitation letter and glanced at it casually. Bai Tou looked at the old man with some surprise and said it was a very respectful invitation letter.

"If I were you I wouldn't come to a place like this to suffer."

The old man glanced at Bai Tou.

"Do you want to come with me? You can also be my bodyguard."

Bai Tou immediately shook his head and refused. The old man coughed and looked at the invitation with some worry.

"This world will eventually come to an end."

Bai Tou didn't listen to the old man's mutterings. He would say these words from time to time. Bai Tou felt that the old man was just worrying.

"Are you really not going with me?"

Bai Tou still shook his head.

"How about I give you 500 yuan a day?"

"Okay, I'll be your bodyguard!"
