Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"very good."

Deguna praised, looking at the report that had been written about tonight's events, as well as some things that could be told to the media.

King Xue was communicating with the person in charge of CBV at the small table on the floor on the left side of the conference room, and began to summon some reporters to Area 79.

Huashen has personally led the team there. The mutant corpses at the scene need to be analyzed and processed, and the body values ​​​​sampled and preserved. Leona also followed, and these things will be directly entered into the database of Section 6 for storage.

Locke looked at Michelle quietly. The report was written by Michelle, and he had put all the responsibility for tonight on the rioters without any hesitation, and his decisiveness was fully demonstrated.

Even though she knew the truth about tonight's enemy, Michelle still blamed everything on the rioters.

Originally, this report was intended to be written by King Xue, but Deguna temporarily appointed Michelle to write it.

Various departments have begun dispatching, and Ivy has ordered Chloe to take people over overnight to conduct an initial loss accounting for the damaged houses in two-thirds of Area 79, because those vacant houses include those owned by mining companies. Anything less will be recycled by Congress.

When the migration wave began, most people couldn't sell their land at all, but there were fewer and fewer people. In desperation, Congress purchased all the houses in District 79 and some abandoned industries at the average price of the underlying housing materials. .

These are only minor matters. The main thing is to calculate how much military supplies the 3rd Division spent on tonight's operation. These things need to be submitted to Congress, and members of the Congress have the right to review and review them.

Including some materials left by the enemies underground, and many other things need to be dug out and accounted for.

The office will be very busy in the next few days. Two-thirds of District 79 has been uninhabited since more than ten years ago. Most people have left, and many regional reconstruction plans have been abandoned.

Locke quietly looked at District 79, which was almost in ruins, and glanced at Michelle who was sitting behind him at a desk, distributing documents to the waiting Secretary of the General Affairs Section and the Board of Directors.

It was the same handling method as before. What Locke was worried about was that once this incident was exposed, the public's trust in the administrative department would be instantly reduced, so he suggested from the beginning that he could simply restore the incident.

However, before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Deguna.

"Little Fatty, if you have any dissatisfaction, after the meeting is over and you have finished handling your work, you can come to me in private and I can have a good talk with you. This matter has been finalized and the past has passed. , meaningless worries and fears will only increase the burden on the city, and the current era is different from before."

"different!"

Locke laughed bitterly and pointed to the corner of the screen, where the Black Knight had been completely transported onto the electromagnetic lift.

"Why did you make something like that?"

The section chiefs in the conference room all looked at Deguna at this time.

"What's the plan behind it?"

Locke stood up. He couldn't bear it anymore. After Ivy and Histek exchanged glances for a while, they both stood up. They both saw that Locke was extremely angry at this moment.

Jewell snorted coldly. He hadn't said a word since he entered the conference room until now. Anyone with a discerning eye could see and understand the mechanical troops that suddenly appeared in front of them.

No matter how advanced and powerful the weapons and equipment are, the operator is always human. Although the current AI can fully control these things, the automatic attack weapons that appeared tonight were invaded by the enemy using unknown viruses, including the mechanical troops that were suddenly disconnected. What it shows is that AI technology is not yet mature, especially when it is put into actual combat, there are many influencing factors.

But after seeing the combat impact of these mechanical soldiers, the section chiefs present were extremely shocked. These robots, which were originally created by powerful mutants, not only have advanced weapons and equipment, but also possess the powerful power of mutants. Such weapons are undoubtedly the most reasonable and ideal, but they are also inhumane.

If you want to cultivate a powerful mutant, you need to invest money and technology, and because humans have minds, they cannot completely control it. But now these new modified humans made of mutants can fully obey orders and only need maintenance. , when mutants grow old, the money and technology they spent before will be burned. If some mutants can be transformed into robots when they are in their peak state, and then injected with a second-stage life-span vaccine, the combat effectiveness of mutants can be guaranteed. Will not decay.

"Do you want to start a war with Tianji Space Country?"

Locke Jiahui directly said what he wanted to ask for a long time, because for so many years, Section 10 has been secretly preparing strategic materials. In the past, some ordinary section members did not need to learn how to use many weapons, but now Nowadays, ordinary officers need to constantly learn how to use weapons and control and drive some machinery.

"Little Fatty, no one has ever said that, you are too worried!"

Locke's fist hit the table, and Heathcote and Ivy had already moved over.

"You once said that a new era will come, and there is no need to use cruel methods to drag the city into a new era. But what has changed in your approach now from before! Do you plan to drag the city into the war?"

Deguna stood up and stared at Locke with cold eyes.

"No matter in any era, once you fall behind, you will be beaten. Especially in this end of the world, human beings have already developed different civilizations, social technologies, and technologies in a closed state. Sooner or later, these things will collide, because since a long time In the past, the development of this world has been controlled by evil."

"Even if the other side comes with the intention of communicating and making peace, do they still want to start a war?"

Locke asked again. Deguna raised her head and finally nodded.

"Everyone has a different mission. As gods, we must try our best to survive in this city. The same goes for all of you here. What is your mission?"

Locke smiled slightly and shook his head.

"My mission has been decided a long time ago. I will make the city move towards a bright future. What you are doing is wrong. You blindly promote the city according to what you want and see. The result is that even today The mistakes I made in the past cannot be faced normally, so I have to use this method to cover up!"

"What do you know, little fat guy? Regardless of whether our approach is right or wrong, so far there have been zero incidents of mutants going berserk. This is the result!"

Locke still shook his head.

"People may be selfish and powerful in your eyes, but they never are in my eyes. As gods, you are not trying to guide the people to a good path, but you are constantly oppressing. In the end, the good part of human nature continues to With the disappearance of evil, evil began to be released. Now the city has become like this, can’t you see it?”

Deguna sighed and shook her head.

"Little Fatty, I don't want to continue discussing with you the meaningless paradox of whether human nature is good or evil. If you are too tired, it is better to get down from this position."

"Please wait, Lord Deguna!"

Michelle suddenly stood up, walked over quickly, and grabbed Locke.

"I will convince the steward!"

Deguna looked at Michelle seriously and nodded, then turned and walked away. When she opened the door, her figure disappeared into the air little by little.

"Remember, God's orders cannot be disobeyed, little fat boy!"

King Xue smiled and adjusted his glasses, then looked at the emotional Locke, and Jewel laughed.

"Your Excellency, I think human nature is inherently evil. Whether it is the constraints of social morality or the shackles of faith, human evil has never disappeared. We can only find a relative balance between good and evil and use laws to restrain it! "

Locke shook his head and walked away without saying a word. His heart was very confused, but at this time Ivy walked up to Locke.

"A person's words and deeds will affect others, and the higher a person stands, the greater his influence. Your Excellency, we have seen everything you have done over the years. Your kindness has never disappeared. The same is true in today's business affairs department. For people standing in these key positions, you have never refuted fiercely when they came up, because I know very well that everyone here is trying every means to solve the problem. The problem is, if we were evil managers, this city would be a wasteland by now!"

Locke looked at Ivy in surprise, and Heathcote laughed.

"We will all support your Excellency the steward, because we all owe you a lot of kindness!"

Locke put his hand on his forehead, not knowing what to say, when Michelle came over.

"The general direction of the city is now in our hands. Even if the six gods are preparing something, we are the ones standing on the stage. It is up to us to decide whether to give the city flowers or sharp knives! "

Locke nodded.

"I'm sorry everyone, I am a human being from beginning to end, and I don't want the city to usher in an era of nothingness, but now we can't break it!"

Everyone looked at Locke seriously. Everyone knew that the entire city's system had been completely solidified. It was very difficult to do anything, and it was a troubled time.

"That little hamster should be of some use!"

King Xue said with a smile, took off his glasses, and continued.

"It just depends on how far she can go!"

"Are you really going back, Mr. Jean?"

Ran Zai asked. Jean crossed the top of a house, stopped after landing, and looked back at the outskirts of Area 79, which was starting to become noisy behind him.

"Of course, after all, Phoebes Resort Hotel and Estate will disappear completely in a few days. Of course we want to have a good time."

Ran Zai looked at Jean with a serious face.

"What on earth did you see tonight Mr. Jean!"

Jean shook his head and continued walking, then stopped and turned around to look at Ran Zai blankly.

"What is your mission! The source of your confusion is because you have never had the word mission in your head, but I do!"

Ran Zai looked at Jean in surprise.

"What a surprise Mr. Jean."

"Each of us has our own mission, which may be small or large, ranging from family to country. If we don't have it, we will not be able to identify with ourselves, and even everything we do will cause disagreements and questions. My There is only one mission, to find a solution to the problem. In a few days, I will take you to Section 10 to familiarize yourself with some equipment that needs to be used outside the barrier. Follow me for a walk. The world is big, and the real world often It reflects the deepest part of the human heart.”

Ran Zai fell silent. He didn't agree with Jean's words, because missions are often given, and there are too few people who can shoulder them independently.

A sneeze

Le Xiao sneezed and rubbed her nose. She swallowed and looked at the neat row of special force members in front of her. She didn't know what to say for a moment. Tang Rao had already urged her to say something.

"Thank you for your hard work tonight. I hope you can continue to fight for the tranquility of the city in the future!"

Le Xiao said with a smile. The members of the special forces in front of her saluted one after another. Le Xiao hurriedly returned the salute. She was happy at this time. On the way here, Tang Rao asked her, "Don't you want to know anything?"

"Even if I know that I can't do anything now, at least I can let everyone see the good side."

Looking at Le Xiao in front of her, Tang Rao felt uncomfortable because she saw the shadow of Ai Li.

"I wonder how far she can go!"

Li Chu murmured, looking at the joy in the eyes of the special team members in front of him, Le Xiao kept telling them to go back and have a good rest, take a vacation or something.

Tian Hen looked at Le Xiao with a serious expression. Just as he was about to say something, Niya grabbed him.

"By the way, everyone worked so hard tonight, you should be able to get a bonus, maybe it's okay."

"How long are you going to talk nonsense?"

In the end, Tang Rao couldn't help but pinched Le Xiao's back. Le Xiao's eyes widened and she suddenly turned around and ran.

"I almost forgot, I have to find Quasimodo quickly."

At this time, in the distance, a huge body came over with Leng Rui and Billy in his arms. All three of them were safe, and Le Xiao ran over happily.

"Great, everyone is okay!"

Quasimodo stopped and looked at Le Xiao and nodded, Leng Rui grinned.

"You idiot, take me to the hospital quickly!"

Billy smiled at Le Xiao, and Le Xiao came closer.

"We solved such a big problem tonight, we should be able to get a lot of bonuses!"
