After having the experience of fighting with the mutated Wenglong, Shen Ke felt that the mutated carnivorous rhinoceros was a piece of cake.

Kill it easily.

Even so, many people were injured or died.

If he hadn't run away, these people wouldn't have died.

"what--"

Shen Ke woke up from the dream with a scream. He sat up from the bed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and closed his eyes for a while.

Ever since he watched the mutated carnivorous rhino trampling people into flesh that day, he began to have nightmares. In the dream, he was weaker and the mutated carnivorous rhino was stronger.

Almost every time he was frightened awake when he was struggling to pull people back from the gate of hell.

Not only that, but also suffering from inner torture and guilt.

Shen Ke sighed and was about to get out of bed when she noticed that the surrounding environment was different.

He froze for a moment, such a familiar environment...

He actually went home?

Contract completed?

It was too sudden.

But he has just succeeded as the city lord, and there are still many things that have not been done, so it would be too irresponsible to leave them behind like this.

Just as he was thinking, the phone on the bedside rang.

He grabbed the phone, as if he had never seen it before, and picked it up a little strangely: "Hello?"

[Savior No. 5446, Shen Ke, has now completed the task. Please confirm the contract amount - 5000 million yuan. Do you have any objections to this? ]

Shen Ke's brain stopped for a while before spinning up at high speed. He said to the mechanical female voice on the other end of the phone, "Wait a minute."

Shen Ke ran to the desk and opened the drawer, took out the contract pressed at the bottom, glanced at the amount on it: 6000 million and one yuan, and said: "No, it's 1000 million and one yuan missing."

[Savior Shen Ke No. 5446, I am sorry to inform you that a part of the amount will be deducted because you have not completed all tasks. ]

Shen Ke: "!!!"

He calculated the debt in his heart, and it was enough, but he was upset.

"This is what you called me back, not what I want to come back!"

[Savior Shen Ke No. 5446, based on your special situation, now you have a chance to make up the balance, please ask if you will use it. ]

Without even thinking about it, Shen Ke immediately agreed: "Use, you guys are really overlord clauses!"

[Savior No. 5446, Shen Ke, now agrees to use the opportunity to renew the contract to compensate for the balance payment. It is now in effect. Please note that you have one day of rest time. At the same time tomorrow, the contract renewal will officially start. ]

Shen Ke: "!!!"

There is only one day, so why bother, he hung up the phone without saying a word.

When he called, he had already thought about today's arrangements. He wanted to pay off all the debts first, and then visit his grandparents.

Well, very fulfilling.

A day is not long or short, but when Shen Ke returned home and lay on the bed, it was already midnight.

After repaying the money, there is still less than 500 million deposits left. While thinking about how to spend it when she returns, Shen Ke falls asleep contentedly, thinking that when she wakes up, she should be in the Neilong Continent again.

·

half year later.

Shen Ke was making the final revisions to the "New Order of the City of Sanctuary", when there was a knock on the door: "Enter."

Pan Lu hurried in: "City Master, Zero Brain has made new progress."

Shen Ke put down what she was doing and motioned for her to speak first.

Pan Lu: "City Master, according to the analysis of the street running of No. 1's body, it can be preliminarily determined that Zero Brain is similar to a parasite. It has a round body and is covered with fluff. It can be distinguished by careful inspection with the naked eye. It has a size of [-]mm, depends on the host for survival, and likes to suck bone marrow, including but not limited to humans, and will reproduce in the host by self-division at a slower speed. It is a complex multicellular organism with independent thinking ability, and will eventually be completely Replace the host, and pass it on to the next host through active contact or blood, for fear of burning."

She handed him the report: "City Master, take a look, this is the image we took."

Shen Ke took the report, looked it over from beginning to end, and sighed: "Get ready, and include this in the Cretan Creatures Collection."

Pan Lu: "Yes."

After finishing talking, Shen Ke began to study the new regulations. He wanted to remove all genetic restrictions, so that everyone can fall in love freely, marry and have children, choose a career freely, and no longer be affected by genes. Although he knew it was difficult, he Also want to try.

What's more, now Cretan creatures can coexist peacefully with them, and they can even resist the mutated Trik creatures together. Shen Ke feels that everything is moving in a good direction.

Even if there are still people who will die after the age of 18, they are already working hard. From the moment Shen Ke became the city lord, he has ordered professionals to study this genetic medicine, and even had his blood drawn many times. Let them extract the R gene in their body.

Shen Ke believes that as long as he keeps acting and working hard, the freedom of Sanctuary City will eventually be realized one day.

Pan Lu: "City Lord?"

Shen Ke looked up: "Is there anything else?"

He thought he was gone, and he was silent for a long time.

Pan Lu lightly licked her lower lip, a little hesitant: "Guo team came to the medical center yesterday."

Shen Ke replied casually: "What's wrong with him? Are you uncomfortable?"

Pan Lu sighed lightly: "No, he...he..."

Shen Ke stopped what she was doing and looked at her: "Don't hesitate."

Pan Lu gritted her teeth and went all out: "Guo team may have been infected with Zero Brain."

·

"Why did he get infected?! Didn't he get checked before? Didn't he say he was fine?" Shen Ke asked as she walked out with her quickly.

"We don't know the details, but the blood test results this time did show that he already contained the gene sequence related to Zero Brain in his body, and it doesn't look like he was just infected." Pan Lu rubbed her hands, "I..."

As soon as Jiang Yuan stepped into the administrative center, he saw Shen Ke and Pan Lu hurrying out, and immediately called him: "Shen Ke?"

Shen Ke is not in the mood to talk to him now, so she waved her hand to tell him to follow: "Guo Xi may be in trouble."

·

Guo Xi, who was still waiting for the results at this moment, had no idea that he had been infected with Zero Brain, but felt very irritable, as if his heart had been pulled out and roasted on the fire, it was burning uncomfortably.

After pacing the room over and over again, he finally couldn't help it anymore. He opened the door and shouted in the corridor, "Where's the person? When will I come out? I've been waiting for hours!"

But the corridor was empty, and no one answered him except his own echo.

Guo Xi walked out angrily, just in time to see Pan Lu who came back from the door, followed by Shen Ke and Jiang Yuan.

"What are you doing here?" Guo Xi asked angrily.

Shen Ke and Jiang Yuan looked at each other, and then said to Guo Xi: "Guo Xi, calm down first, we have something to tell you, you'd better be mentally prepared."

Guo Xi cursed a few words impatiently, and then said: "If you fart, let it go."

Jiang Yuan: "Guo Xi, pay attention to your sense of proportion."

Guo Xi glanced at him, and said disdainfully, "Fuck you."

Pan Lu sighed, then showed a gentle smile, but also tried to keep a distance from Guo Xi: "Guo Xi, you sit down first, the test report is out, I'll get it for you."

Guo Xi nodded, then obediently sat on the sidelines and looked at Pan Lu's leaving back. After she disappeared from sight, he suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha, Shen Ke, you said that you are so big after transformation, how did you become so small as a human?" Only, it's much shorter than Jiang Yuan..."

As he spoke, he walked up to him, wanting to touch Shen Ke's hair.

Before Shen Ke could dodge, Jiang Yuan pulled Shen Ke aside and protected him behind him: "Guo Xi, go sit and wait."

Probably feeling something about his weird behavior, Guo Xi sat back obediently, waited for a while, and finally waited for Pan Lu.

Pan Lu looked at the tired young couple over there, curled her lips secretly, and showed the report to Guo Xi: "You have to be mentally prepared."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and threw a pair of gloves to each of the two over there to prevent unnecessary contact in the future, at least to avoid re-infection.

The moment Guo Xi took the report, at least he looked calm.

But the next second, when Shen Ke breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly ran away and rushed over. If Jiang Yuan hadn't reacted quickly and caught him, Shen Ke would have been strangled to death by his throat.

Shen Ke wiped off the sweat that was seeping from his forehead in an instant: "Captain Jiang, let him go, he..."

Guo Xi, who was still struggling, suddenly stopped struggling, and two lines of hot tears flowed from his eyes: "Why...why is it me? They are all fine now, why..."

Seeing him crying sadly, but unable to go forward to comfort him, Shen Ke's sense of powerlessness in the face of death came to her heart again.

"I'm sorry, Guo Xi, we now..." Shen Ke sighed.

Although Zero Brain is afraid of fire, since it is already in the host body, it will only replace the host, but it cannot be forced out of the host body.

And now that he has just come into contact with this kind of creature, there are not many protective measures, so he can only avoid contact as much as possible.

He pursed his lips slightly, sighed, and was about to speak when Guo Xi said, "Lock me up, lock me up! Don't let me touch other people."

After speaking, tears overflowed from his eyes again: "Please."

·

Although Yu couldn't bear it, for everyone's safety, Shen Ke still ordered Guo Xi to be locked up alone in a ward.

God knows how determined it is to make this decision.

Five days later at night, Pan Lu went to the city lord's office to look for Shen Ke again, and handed Guo Xi's suicide note to him: "City lord, this was written by Team Guo today, let me hand it to you."

Shen Ke hesitated for a moment before taking it over, with a bad premonition in her heart: "Have you read it?"

Pan Lu shook her head: "I didn't read it, Team Guo said I'd hand it over to you personally."

Shen Ke nodded, and the more she looked at it, the more her heart sank. When she saw the end, she put the suicide note on the table and pushed it over: "Look at it, it's a suicide note."

To be precise, it is a will.

【I, Guo Xi, I hope that after I am completely devoured by Zero Brain, my body will be handed over to Pan Lu for their dissection. I hope that people will no longer suffer from such pain and torture. 】

Pan Lu didn't know what to say for a while, her hand holding the suicide note kept shaking, and tears welled up from her eyes.

She covered her mouth, trying not to let herself cry.

Shen Ke sighed, squeezed her eyes hard at the same time, pulled out a few pieces of paper and handed them to her: "Wipe it."

"Thank you." Pan Lu took the paper, turned around, wiped away her tears, and put the paper in her pocket, "Sorry, City Master, I didn't control it well."

Shen Ke shook her head: "It's okay, if you have emotions, you have to express them."

I don't know if it was stimulated by his words, Pan Lu's tears suddenly opened like a flood, and she couldn't stop no matter what, she squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.

Shen Ke was on the side, and could see her shaking shoulders from sobbing.

Shen Ke, who seldom comforted others, was a little overwhelmed for a moment, but stood quietly by the side, acting as a paper delivery machine.

After a while, Pan Lu finally raised her head, wiped away her tears, and said, "I'm fine, City Lord, I'm fine."

"Actually, sometimes death may be another kind of rebirth, what do you think?" Shen Ke knew that she was not worthy of comforting others, but it felt weird not to say anything at such a time.

Pan Lu nodded: "Thank you."

Shen Ke: "Okay, you can go back after sorting out your emotions. There are still many things that need to be done by you and your team."

·

In fact, Shen Ke had no idea about the promulgation of the "New Order of the City of Sanctuary".

He has seen too many new regulations promulgated, which are opposed and abused. Although they are forced to be implemented in the end, it is not ideal.

But Shen Ke never expected that once the new order was issued, it would receive unanimous praise from the people.

He received feedback for a week in a row, saying that the original stupid genetic system should have been rejected a long time ago, even if it had genetic influence, it should not stifle people's interest and vision for the future.

For a moment, Shen Ke's status in the hearts of the city's people once again rose to an inestimable position.

One day, he was about to go home when someone broke into the door. When he looked up, it was Niu Chuan.

The entourage at the door looked ugly, and immediately apologized: "Sorry, Santo, we couldn't stop it."

Shen Ke shook her head: "It's okay, close the door."

"Niu Chuan, come to me in such a hurry, what happened?" Shen Ke asked.

Niu Chuan: "City Lord, give me a letter of approval. Where did our boss go?!"

Shen Ke hesitated for two seconds, and couldn't hide it for a while, and said: "He is in the medical center."

"Impossible!" Niu Chuan raised his voice, then fell back feeling a little impolite, "We have been there several times, if he is really in the hospital, how could he not let us see him!"

Shen Ke rubbed her hands behind her back, and sighed subtly: "He's infected."

"Infection?" Niu Chuan frowned, puzzled, "Treat the infection, don't we have a lot of medicine?"

Shen Ke shook her head, there was no medicine.

He pursed his lower lip: "you come with me, I'll take you there."

·

When he arrived at the medical center, Shen Ke took him to a room with a remote location, and pointed to Guo Xi who was sitting on the ground facing the wall inside: "It's over there."

Just as Niu Chuan was about to open the door and go in, Shen Ke stopped him: "You can't go in, he was infected by Zero Brain."

"Zero Brain?" Niu Chuan asked in surprise, "Is that the one that was popularized before?"

Shen Ke sighed: "Yes."

Then he walked to the communication room next to him, took the communication device and handed it to Niu Chuan: "So I haven't told you all, if you want to talk to him, use this."

After all, Niu Chuan was also an old man in his [-]s. The moment he took the communicator, he couldn't help sniffing his nose a few times, and said in a trembling voice, "Boss..."

Hearing the voice, Guo Xi turned around and saw Niu Chuan and Shen Ke standing outside, smiled at them, got up and walked to him, and picked up the communicator: "It's okay, you are quite a big man and you are still crying, don't you want to lose face?" , how did I teach you in the first place?"

Niu Chuan touched his nose and smiled through his tears: "Tell us to take up the responsibility of defending Sanctuary City, tell us to be brave."

Guo Xi nodded, and the next second he threw the communicator in his hand to the ground, furious in an instant: "Get out! Get out! Get out as far as you can."

Facing Guo Xi's sudden violent departure, Niu Chuan held the communicator in a daze, took a few steps back, and then looked at Shen Ke.

Shen Ke shook his head at him, and took the communicator from his hand: "We should go."

·

Four years later.

Inside the mayor's office.

"City Master, Guo Xi's state has been very unstable recently. We suspect that he has completely changed and strengthened the isolation protection to prevent other personnel from being infected." Pan Lu handed over the analysis report after finishing speaking, "Should we... ..."

Shen Ke frowned and hesitated for a moment: "Let's let this matter go first, and then observe it. In addition, we must pay close attention to genetic medicines and strive to break through genetic restrictions."

Pan Lu nodded: "Yes, City Master, I'll leave first if it's okay."

As soon as Pan Lu left, Jiang Yuan pushed the door open and came in with a sullen face: "Shen Ke, the compound disaster weather is here again."

The difference from Shen Ke's first arrival was that this time, Shen Ke was no longer alone, Jiang Yuan stood beside him.

The city of sanctuary is no longer a city protected only by assassins, it has countless citizens.

Cretan creatures are no longer their enemies. Under Shen Ke's communication and education, the two sides can live in harmony.

Their only enemy is bad weather.
