Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"Thank you Jean, thank you!"

The wise man's cheeks were covered with muddy old tears, and his withered body seemed to have been injected with vitality. He was so excited that he could no longer suppress the trembling in his heart. His whole body was violently spasming, and the hand holding the phone seemed to have lost its strength. .

The life of more than 30 years of darkness is coming to an end. At this moment, all I need to do is continue to wait and endure.

"Don't have too high expectations. Maybe neither the General Affairs Department nor the parliament will allow it."

Soon the wise man suppressed his excitement and shook his head with a smile.

"I don't know about others, but I still know your abilities very well, Jean, Six Gods King Seal."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Superfluous things"

"Wouldn't say a word about it to anyone else, Mr. Jean."

The person on the other end of the phone grunted and hung up. The wise man sat down with his body paralyzed and covered in sweat. The fingers holding the cigarette were still trembling uncontrollably.

"You can go out now."

At lunch time, the door of the prison tower opened, and Jewell breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the wise man had returned.

"What's wrong? You're back so soon."

The wise man wiped his sweat and shook his head.

"I'm old and can't do anything anymore. Thank you, Jewell. Could you please do me a little favor? I want to go back underground tonight to catch up with my old friends."

Jewell looked at the wise man in confusion. There were so many staff in the cafeteria watching. He stared at the wise man with a solemn expression. He couldn't explain what was strange. The wise man went out for a trip, and his expression completely changed when he came back. He was very relaxed. look like.

"Forget it, whatever you want."

Ten minutes later, accompanied by several guards, the wise man returned to the tunnel at the bottom.

"Hey old man, I haven't seen you for a few days. Did you encounter any happy events?"

"Old man, you are enjoying your time up there. Why did you come back if you didn't stay well?"

"If you have any cigarettes with you, the old man will give you one."

As soon as the wise man entered the tunnel, many prisoners immediately surrounded him and greeted him. The wise man smiled and said we would talk about it later, and walked towards the depths of the tunnel.

This tunnel, which is nearly 100 meters wide and has been extended for nearly 20 kilometers, is close to the ravine area. The prisoners can only dig day and night. The 20-kilometer tunnel round trip every day is a daily routine for the prisoners.

Microbial battery lights are placed all over the tunnel wall for lighting. From time to time, prisoners can be seen dragging bags of heavy stones from the opposite side. The excavated stones are packed in special strong bags. It can carry one or two tons, which is no problem for mutants, but guys who are not mutants will be affected. It is extremely difficult to drag back 500 kilograms at a time.

Therefore, most men and women who are not mutants can only rely on their bodies in exchange for some food, dig from time to time, and have a good relationship with the mutants, because they can pick up some stone fragments dug by the mutants.

Most of the prisoners went back and forth several times to exchange for two or three days' worth of liquid food, and then rested near the square. It was too cold inside the tunnel.

After walking for nearly an hour, the wise man came to the door of a cave and looked inside. A thin man with a yellow face and skinny muscles was crouching on the ground, sucking something, sucking.

"Billy, come in with me, it's urgent."

After a while, the strong man sitting in front of a thin man named Billy in the cave put down a can of liquid food with satisfaction and left. Billy wiped his mouth and walked out.

The man named Billy has high cheekbones, a thin nose, and a somewhat weak appearance. He has long hair, looks like a woman, moves coquettishly, and has a delicate face, not like a working man.

"Walk faster Billy."

The wise man said with some boredom that he hated this Billy. The Billy behind him suffered from a rare multiple personality schizophrenia. The personality of this Billy now is just that of a weak woman. He is the most useless, except in exchange for food. , and the wise man is not sure how many personalities Billy has. He has only seen 6 of Billy's personalities. Among them, the smart doctor Billy is the most useful. The kind of fake death that Leng Rui ate last time. The pills were made by Billy's doctor persona.

"Sorry, I walk slowly."

The wise man looked at Billy angrily.

"Where are the others? You can call anyone out. What I hate most are little girls like you."

Billy nodded and lowered his eyebrows, taking small steps, exactly like a girl. She was not tall, only about 1.7 meters tall, and her hands were placed in front of her reservedly.

"No one talks to me much lately, so I'm sorry, grandpa."

The wise man sighed helplessly, and the two walked all the way, and finally arrived at the excavation site an hour later. A large number of prisoners were sweating profusely, holding pickaxes, and working hard to dig out the extremely hard rocks, and Alpha was also there.

At this time, Alpha was covered in sweat, and the only white waistcoat on her body had turned black. She had clearly washed in the women's bath a few days ago, and the cigarette butt she was biting on her mouth had long been extinguished.

"Alpha, come over here."

The tapping paused, and Alpha turned and glanced at Billy.

"Who is it today?"

"It's Billy."

Billy lowered his head shyly, Alpha walked over with a little helplessness, and the group walked into the newly dug cave.

"Wise old man, why are you down here!"

Leng Rui had just recovered from his serious illness and was already much better. Quasimodo was still watching over him, and he turned his head slightly.

"Billy."

"Mr. Quasimodo."

Billy came close to her like a bird. The other three people in the house didn't like this Billy very much, except Quasimodo who was closer to her.

The five people came to the corner, and the wise man took a deep breath.

"It's done, Jean agreed to my terms, and we will be able to go out soon."

Leng Rui jumped up in an instant, and when he was about to shout, Alpha pulled him over and covered his mouth.

At this time, Leng Rui kept sobbing, tears streaming down his face, and nodded, while Billy was crying with joy and smiling. Quasimodo, who had always been taciturn, also widened his eyes, his throat was moving, and Alpha was biting His lips and corners were raised, his eyes were cold and he was smiling, and he suddenly punched a hard wall on one side.

boom

A small hole the size of a fist was dented in the wall, dust was sprayed out, and the stones smashed in by the fist were crushed into powder.

"I know you are very excited. After all, in such a dark underground, the longest is more than 50 years and the shortest is 7 years. But please remember, hold back until the last moment and just be as normal as usual. Absolutely Don't show any joy."
