Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

11:47

Locke got up from the bed and came out of the cubicle with an angry roar.

"Little Fatty, what is your name?"

Deguna looked at Locke, who was still wearing pajamas and had jumped to the door. He still had to preside over Su Li's brief speech to the whole city starting at 12 o'clock.

Locke rushed to the door of his private lounge, but immediately stopped because the female secretaries were resting inside, so he could only go to Michelle's office and start combing his hair.

I quickly put on my uniform and headed to the third floor. As soon as I went out, several council officers were waiting anxiously. When I arrived at a large conference room on the third floor, some reporters were already waiting.

Locke looked at the time and saw that there were still three minutes left. He sat down and took a drink of water. His stomach began to rumble again. As it approached 12 o'clock, his stomach sounded like an alarm on time.

"Get ready to cut the screen."

Locke stood at the stage, looked at a mirror that was pulled up next to him, continued to straighten his clothes, and then started to face the camera. On a light and shadow screen that appeared next to him, Su Li was also ready, in the hospital in District 118. In the conference room.

Seeing Su Li nodding towards him on the screen, Locke turned to the camera.

"Dear citizens, I'm sorry to disturb everyone's lunch time. Our General Affairs Department has something to announce to everyone, especially the people at the bottom!"

At this time, at the photographer's signal, Locke nodded and took out a document directly authorized by the six gods.

"Now we are having a better time."

Accompanied by a voice, violent cheers erupted in a street on the ground floor. Some illiterate people listened to the people next to them talking about the contents of the document. Congress had officially authorized Ames to build the economy on the ground floor. We have already established cooperation with Su Li, the owner of Ames Company and one of the eight major families.

"As you can see, both parties have signed this contract. In the future, the people at the bottom are asked to actively cooperate with Ames Company and the administrative department to carry out in-depth transformation of many economically disadvantaged areas at the bottom. Everything in the future is Bright, well, I hope you will listen to Ms. Su Li’s speech next!”

At this time, the scene changed. Su Li placed her hands reservedly in front of her and bowed on the stage. She was still wearing a bright cheongsam that highlighted her temperament and beauty, and a furry white scarf.

"Good afternoon to all the people at the bottom. I believe everyone should have read the signing document!"

Su Li pursed her lips and bowed again.

"After so many years of development on the ground floor, many places have remained the same as they were decades ago. This is not what anyone wants to see, but development is essential for a stable city under the sun."

At this time, many people at the bottom have returned home one after another, intending to take a rest, because what the woman on the screen said is completely meaningless to them. They have heard too much such words, which is detrimental to development. Talk about essential labor pains.

"We've been in pain for decades, and we still have labor pains?"

"Hahaha, my wife gave birth before, and it only took a few hours from the onset of labor pains to enter the delivery room."

"Let's go, let's go back to sleep."

Su Li was still talking about her ideas with great interest.

"First, we'll start by getting dressed and fed."

While talking, Su Li took out a can of liquid food with patterns and a beautiful, soft skirt.

"This is a liquid food that our company has painstakingly developed. I can responsibly tell everyone that this liquid food is absolutely safe and reliable, and a can only costs 8 cents."

At this time, many people who were talking and laughing looked at the light and shadow screens on the street. Some people smiled. Since many years ago, liquid food has only cost 1 yuan, and in some districts it has even cost 1 yuan or 4.

But 8 cents is very attractive to many people. At this time, Su Li picked up a soft and curvy skirt in her hand.

"Such clothes are made of fiber materials instead of light and shadow materials. The price will be cheaper than clothes made of light and shadow materials. A skirt like this only costs 10 yuan."

Although Su Li said a lot of words at the beginning, which made many people at the bottom feel disgusted, what she said after that attracted the attention of many people. Men's eyes were mainly on liquid food, while women's Eyes on the skirt.

Most people's clothes at the bottom are made of fiber plants. The cheaper ones are three or four yuan a piece, and the more expensive ones are more than ten yuan. But the styles are relatively old, many of them are from decades ago, but Su The skirt in Li's hand is a new model, and the price is so cheap. A dress made of light and shadow materials costs at least 50 yuan, and more expensive ones are available in the hundreds or even thousands. It is simply not something that people at the bottom can afford.

"Then comes the renovation of the streets on the ground floor. We will beautify everything on the ground floor step by step. After all, everyone has a love for beauty. Who wants to face a shabby environment all day long, and who wants to wear dirty clothes every day? Wearing crappy clothes on the street? And who is not worried about the price increase of liquid food? But I can tell you clearly that the price of liquid food produced by our company will never increase! This is our commitment."

For a time, many streets at the bottom erupted in enthusiastic cheers, because many people from the enemy seemed to have seen the beautiful scene in the middle and upper levels.

"So I hope that the people at the bottom who are willing to sell their properties can come to some of the points set up by our Aimeis company. I only hope to purchase some properties to gradually build everything Aimeis has on the ground floor and improve the economy at the bottom. In the future, our company will do our best to serve the people at the bottom, in order to make everyone's life more beautiful!"

After Su Li finished speaking, she bowed deeply. At this time, many people began to jump for joy. Although many people were a little disgusted with the first half of Su Li's words, they now felt happy.

The short live broadcast ended. At this time, Locke started talking in front of the screen again. However, the street had become deserted and everyone began to go about their own business. No one was willing to listen patiently to what Locke said. .

At 12:30, Locke finally finished his speech. He came out of the conference room and planned to go directly to the conference room. He was in a good mood and planned to eat there directly.

"I see you are in a good mood, little fat guy."

As soon as he entered the room, Locke sat down at his seat. An extra-large lunch was already placed on the table. He nodded and started eating directly.

"Basically, everyone on the main street on the ground floor dispersed after your speech. No one listened."

Witte sighed. At this time, the section chiefs who were dining all looked at Locke. Everyone knew that over the years, as the manager of the business section and the spokesperson for many major events, the entire city basically respected him. The reviews are terrible.

There was one time before that Mo Xiaolan couldn't stand it anymore and went out of his way to arrest some people who deliberately smeared Locke on the Internet.

The reason why King Xue is in Section 1 is that he is extremely strict and unkind in all aspects of city management. As long as you fail to meet any of the requirements, the relevant documents cannot be processed. This is what makes him disliked, and Li Ang It is the wallet that manages the city, and money is not enough for most people.

"Why are you looking at me while you're eating? No matter how others hate me or talk about me behind my back, it doesn't matter, it's already like this!"

At this time, King Xue stood up and bowed to Locke.

"Everyone, every time at a moment like this, Director Locke will step forward without hesitation and take over everything. As colleagues, we should be grateful for his selflessness."

"You're so selfless. I've been taking the blame for half a century since I first took the blame in school. King Xue is eating, hey!"

Locke sighed and continued to eat the steak with a smile on his face. At this time, the female section chiefs also opened the door and came in.

"What's wrong? See how stiff you are all in this room?"

Niya yawned and looked at her ramen steaming. She walked over and sat down, took out a bottle of wine and started eating and drinking.

"Niya you"

Locke choked on the meat. He beat his chest, swallowed it and rushed over quickly, but the bottle of wine in Niya's hand had been drunk by her. Not a drop was left.

"What does it matter? If you drink a bottle of wine, the worst I can do is buy you a bottle next time I go to the supermarket."

Locke was very angry. When he saw the cigarette that Leona was smoking, he immediately thought of something bad.

"Forget it, forget it, I'm not the kind of person to care about anything anyway!"

"Don't worry, I haven't taken everything yet. You still have a souvenir in your personal locker!"

Mo Xiaolan said, Locke smiled awkwardly, Niya looked at Mo Xiaolan with some confusion. Just now she wanted to empty all the cigarettes in Locke's cabinet, because after trying several kinds, the smell was all the same. It's pretty good, and many of them are privately owned tobacco and alcohol.

"Over the years, every section chief who left would give Fatty some gifts. After all, Fatty had always been a good guy in the school, a target of bullying, and a talkative person. To tell you the truth, Fatty was in our school at that time. Here, the man recognized by all women’s colleges as the most suitable for marriage.”

Niya groaned, looking at Locke who looked embarrassed across from him, Mo Xiaolan glanced at King Xue.

"By the way, when we graduated, we conducted a vote. The man you should not date the most was over there!"

King Xue pressed his glasses and smiled, but his smile was a little uncomfortable.

"real or fake?"

Leona was also a little confused. After all, Locke was not handsome, but just passable. At this time, Mo Xiaolan took his phone and took out a photo.

For a time, many section chiefs gathered around him. Even Tian Hen stood up in shock. Locke Jiahui, a chubby young man with mushroom hair, stood among a group of beauties with a green face and a blushing face. , Niya recognized every woman next to her, even her sister Alpha was there.

"It's quite cute! Manager."

Leona said, Locke shook his head with a smile.

"It's just that because of his good-natured physique, he was always led by the girls in school, and he was tortured quite a lot."

Niya saw in the photo, Mo Xiaolan, who also had a youthful look on his face, was standing very shyly on the outside. Compared with his current appearance, he looked younger now, only fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Little Fatty, what do you want after retirement?"

At this time Deguna asked, Locke hesitated for a while and smiled.

"It's good now!"

"What a waste! If I retire, please help me arrange a 2,000-square-meter villa with mountains and rivers!"

Niya said and Li Chu blinked.

"Go back and inherit your family business. You won't have a penny of salary after retirement."

The atmosphere in the conference room relaxed for a while, many section chiefs smiled, and Niya rushed over.

"What do you mean? I don't want to think about it. How serious is the corruption in the city now?"

Tianhen snorted coldly.

"Before you became the section chief, if you still have a conscience, touch your chest and think about it, how many troubles have you caused? Who will compensate you after that?"

"I know, I know, I have to work hard and at least save some money, otherwise I have to go back and inherit the family business. I don't want to, and neither does my sister, so what should I do?"

Ivy kept smiling all the time. She did not interrupt because she was the youngest here. King Xue, Mo Xiaolan, and Locke were all classmates, and the oldest was Ye Chunwang. I heard that he started planting 100 years ago. The land has been planted till now.

But what surprised Ivy was that she could actually see these things on the top floor of such a strict system.

"What do you want, fat man? I will give you a big gift when you retire!"

Niya asked, and Locke thought about it.

"Just feel free to do it!"

The time is approaching minute by minute, and everyone is waiting, because only when this matter is resolved can everyone sleep peacefully.

Early this morning, 391 more people were hospitalized, including 201 people in the first stage of mild illness, 150 in the second stage, and 41 in the third stage.

Huashen has not yet received any news that the antibody has been successfully developed, but he has made it clear that he will be able to directly treat stage III patients with the developed antibody as soon as 4 p.m. this afternoon.

The barrier area has a large amount of clinical trial materials, which should be able to be solved quickly, but today there is also a medical congestion phenomenon in the 4th Department. Everyone in the 4th Department is already so busy that they are almost exhausted.

Gene sat quietly on the ground, with striking scars all over his body that were slowly healing. Opposite him, Tang Rao was lying on the ground with a big Chinese character.

"I'm going to take a rest later. Rose, please take your time and play with her!"

Rose shook her head.

"Don't be lazy. After all, once the exam is over, Gene will have to fight Alpha."

"Why do you have to pick this spot?"

Tang Rao looked at Jean with dissatisfaction, and Jean smiled.

"Tamayi has already helped us form a team. After the battle with Alpha is over, those people will have to enter Section 10 for a week of training, and then we will set off."

"Especially you, Tang Rao, you have been too lazy to go to the laboratory for more than a year. You are obsessed with the pursuit of that young boy in your flower shop. You need to go back and get familiar with everything. After all, this time you go out is different from before. You can only succeed, not fail.”

Tang Rao got up.

"I see."

At this time, the basement door opened and Lu Xi walked down.

"Lord Jean, you two can eat now."

The three of them stood up and walked over. Gene pulled up his clothes and put them on. The wounds on his body had gradually healed and faded.

"Little girl, if Jewel dares to treat you badly in any way in the future, you can call me. When I have nothing to do, I can come over and help you educate him."

Rose hugged Lu Xi's waist as soon as she went upstairs. Lu Xi lowered her head shyly. She didn't know what to say for a while and nodded silently. Jewell told her something, but what she didn't expect was , these two gods seem to be no different from ordinary people, they are quite approachable. In her belief since childhood, the existence of such things as gods is untouchable.

"By the way, two gods, area 29."

"Little girl, if you are willing, try it yourself and lead the women in District 29 to find their dignity. Although we can provide you with some conveniences, if they can't wake up themselves, they can't get it back. If the dignity has been lost, there is nothing we can do about it.”

Tang Rao said and Lu Xi nodded.

"I think it's feasible, nurse!"

Jean recalled with a smile. In the past, nurses all wore white clothes, but now all the 4 departments are doctors and nurses. This is helpless. The lack of medical care is a very big problem at present. question.

There used to be nurses in Brilliant City, but that was when the Medical Association still existed.

The three of them planned to finish their meal and wait for Le Xiao to announce the reason for the current surge in patients at 1 o'clock.

"What a nice little girl!"

Tang Rao praised Lu Xi as he spoke. Rose raised her hand. After the wine was mixed more evenly, it flowed from the bottle into the glasses of the three of them. Lu Xi had already eaten, and she sat aside respectfully, because in In her concept, gods are all inhumane, but now such thoughts have been washed away. The moment she heard it, she felt incredible. When the three gods came to her home before, She felt the difference, and now looking at the three people talking and laughing, Lu Xi was even more sure.

For them, God is just an identity, not an omnipotent, cold and ruthless God.

Many things are different for Lu Xi now. They were like this in the past. Lu Xi used to hate the business, but after getting to know Jewell, Lu Xi didn't think so. Now Lu Xi sees The more you see, the more things you feel. Unreasonable suspicion and even fear caused by not understanding something are the biggest enemies of being a human being.

The morning mutant test was over. Jean looked at Le Xiao who had a smile on her face. She still changed some scores while answering reporters' questions. Looking at her, Jean always felt at ease.

"That little girl looks more and more like Ellie!"

Tang Rao muttered, Rose stepped on her, and Gene shook his head.

"I feel very relaxed recently. Maybe it was because I was in the barrier zone that day and felt that Ellie was always there! Because everything she said can always be found in every era, illuminating the passers-by in the dark night. That faint ray of light!”
