Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

April 13, 2220, 8 a.m.

Located in the eastern guard station, close to the gate out of the city, a large number of Section 3 members are gathering. On both sides are sheds for receiving weapons and military backpacks. People from Section 3 are constantly entering, bringing 20 kilograms of weapons and 40 Kilograms of food and water came out of the shack. At this time, the warm sun made many staff members wearing thick fluffy uniforms feel extremely hot. From time to time, someone was wiping sweat.

Osman stood quietly on the high platform on one side of the gate, with Zijuan standing next to him. The directors and team captains were all standing in the front row. Today is an extremely important day for Section 3. The first barrier march, from the east Departing, detouring to the north, and finally returning to the western guard station, it is a foot march of nearly 1,300 kilometers, as well as the need to complete the arrest of fugitive criminals in the barrier area.

The march of a total of 10,000 people is uneasy for many people. During this year, these batch of physical test passers have practiced in the outer circle of the ravine. Now it is the official march, with 30 people in a small group. , equipped with a military doctor.

Many people feel that such a march is meaningless. There are only a few criminals in the barrier area. There has been a lot of dissatisfaction with Section Chief Osman this year. But fortunately, as long as the march can be completed, the original salary and benefits will be reduced. On the basis of the salary, a part of the salary can be increased, and the voices of dissatisfaction gradually calmed down.

Nowadays, the city is becoming more and more stable, and social security is good. The role of Section 3 is almost zero, and most businessmen will only go to the Mutant Chamber of Commerce to hire mutants as bodyguards. The external dispatch work of Section 3 has been limited to construction. You help 5 departments maintain law and order at the construction site.

This plan should have been implemented three years ago, but it has been delayed until now. The military expenditure of Section 3 is now very difficult. Now that we are finally able to carry out this operation, we have accumulated more than three years of armaments.

Osman and Zijuan will also move with the marching team. As a temporary headquarters, this march is mainly to set up a detection signal within a certain range of the barrier area. Once the detection signal is completed, it can be used in the barrier area. Stationing some temporary military bases can prevent criminals from escaping to the barrier area to the greatest extent.

This is the main purpose of this march. To understand the geographical environment around the city to the greatest extent, draw accurate detection maps, and select some points as armament monitoring stations. This way, the barrier areas can be effectively divided and managed, and can provide better solutions for the future. With favorable data, this barren land will also have space and value for utilization in the future.

"Why are you so nervous?"

Zijuan walked up to Osman and patted his back with one hand. Osman immediately smiled and shook his head, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.

Although training for such a large-scale operation has begun a year in advance, the harsh environment in the barrier area is very dangerous for this long-distance march. The 10th Division has prepared 200 lifts and 4th Division. A three-person medical team is on standby at any time. Once there is a problem in any area, the simplest thing is to launch a signal flare, and then rely on AI long-distance recognition and observation to immediately determine the area, and the take-off and landing machine will fly directly there.

The medical aspect has been ensured. The current problem is the installation of communication stations during the march. If there is no communication station, we can only rely on the short-range communication equipment of the nearby team. The range of this equipment is 5 square kilometers.

In the past three years, Osman has personally taken people to the barrier area to confirm every step. He has also lived in the barrier area for a period of time. Osman has written everything he can think of into the plan.

Looking at these staff members with different expressions in front of him, Osman knew very well that this journey was very difficult for each of them. The cold and biting temperature in the barrier area, the extremely harsh environment, and the fact that there was always only black and The gray-black sky, the windy sand that occurs most of the time, and the harmful particles carried in the air are all great tests for the human body.

In order to further appease the emotions of the department members, Osman also proposed in the plan that as long as they can complete the walking march, they will be given priority for promotion and transfer to other departments in the future. This is very attractive to many members. Now everyone's interest in participating has been unprecedentedly high. In addition, many people have already exercised in some ruined towns around the ravine, which makes many people feel confident.

Marching with a load of more than 60 kilograms, a harsh marching route of 1,300 kilometers, and the need for route resolution and adjustment during the march, as well as field surveying and mapping of maps, the first group of people were very tired, but they Among the 10,000 staff members, they also have the best physical and mental qualities.

The first 100 teams were all equipped with mutants, and they were responsible for clearing the way for the subsequent marching troops.

Finally, at 8:36, the 10,000 people from Section 3 had assembled.

squeak

The door slowly opened, and as a fierce cold wind poured in, many people began to stand up seriously. The heat on their bodies began to dissipate with the influx of cold wind. Osman adjusted a light and shadow expansion musical instrument.

"Please strictly follow the previous simulation training and use flares directly in case of any emergency! Take action!"

Following Osman's order, the first teams in line began to slowly pass through the gate, and subsequent teams had to wait for 5 minutes before taking action.

Looking at the batches of clerks passing through the gate quickly, Osman's bitter expression became solemn. He had already thought in his heart countless times that this time the operation would be smoother and there would be no major problems. But as the march day came, all the nervousness overflowed.

"They said they are not nervous. They are not children, they are soldiers. This is something they must experience. We are the last group, but it is good to go for a walk occasionally."

Zijuan giggled. They were no strangers to the barrier area, because when they were in the Academy of God, they had been stationed in the barrier area for a long time and experienced it, and they had even been outside the barrier many times.

"Sorry."

Osman said, Zijuan pressed Osman's arm.

"You probably won't be able to change your personality in your lifetime. It won't work if you worry about others like this. Do you still remember the goals we established before? We must lift 3 Cora and hand it over to the next successor. Here, establish a clear and effective goal for at least three subjects.”

Osman hummed, and at this time, accompanied by a figure, Ling Hong had jumped onto the stage.

"I'll leave first. If I encounter any problems, I will rush to the place where the incident occurred to deal with it."

"Thank you for your hard work, Ling Hong."

Ling Hong stretched out two fingers, made a gentle stroke, and jumped into the team below with a smile.

"Everyone, hurry up. You are so lazy. Haven't you had enough to eat?"

Ling Hong shouted, and the teams in front who were still struggling because they might not be able to return to the city in the next month or two sped up.

Ling Hong shouted as she walked. She would follow a fixed team, and would also quickly move among the teams that shuttled through the contact area to ensure that the first batch of teams could complete their work smoothly. Ling Hong and the other 30 directors Officers will be evenly distributed among the team clusters.

Each team is equipped with heavy firepower weapons. Many people have already guessed that they will probably exchange fire with criminals wandering in the barrier area during the march. This is what many people are most worried about during this journey. Although they are wearing High-quality protective clothing, but in order to ensure flexible movement, although it can withstand the penetration of bullets, if it is hit by a bullet, the bones may be broken.

The first group of teams had already set foot on the land of the barrier area. Ling Hong had already ran to a team that was determining the direction. Soon the team took action and soon they were able to place communication equipment at a location 2 kilometers away from the eastern ravine. .

At this time, outside a ruins 2 kilometers away directly opposite the Eastern Guard Station, a palm-sized spider machine was clinging to the wall of a dilapidated house, with its eight eyes shining with a reddish light.

Located 1 kilometer north of the east, in a pile of rocks, a spider-shaped machine is climbing up a rock wall blown by the wind. The reddish light on its eight eyes is breathing. At this time The wind and sand were blowing a little, and the wind blew violently towards the city, picking up dust and debris all over the sky.

Extending to the north of the east, this kind of spider-shaped machine will appear within every kilometer. It is only the size of a palm and is always close to the due north. There are countless spider-shaped machines, and from the due north to the left The west side of the side extends over.

8:49 am

Erwin smiled, standing on a platform extended from the lower part of the huge research tower, holding a glass of wine in his hand. There were already 300 mechanical and biochemical modified people standing below. They were all equipped with the latest weapons. In addition to light, In addition to killing weapons, these weapons with excellent accuracy and firepower were developed by the Hillman family. They are far more advanced than the weapons currently used by Section 3. In addition, they also have single magnetic pole flight technology, and the maximum speed can reach 300 meters per second.

In such a harsh environment, these semi-mechanical biochemically modified people are still mutants. They can rely on their subjective consciousness to use their own telekinesis, and the battle is left to the AI ​​system, which will accurately control each of their joints. Action, and shooting accuracy can reach a hit rate of more than 90%.

At this time, many semi-mechanical and biochemically modified people were wearing masks. There was a trace of fear in the eyes of many of the semi-mechanical and biochemically modified people. They didn’t know what to do. Their bodies were completely out of control. The only way they could use The parts are just brains and they don't know where they are being taken.

At this time, on the other side, nearly 100 elite mutants trained by the Hillman family over the years are on standby. They will follow these 300 semi-mechanical biochemically modified mutants to carry out the sniper mission against the 3rd branch. Conduct field battles among some criminals in the west and north to collect combat data.

As early as three years ago, Section 3's plan to conduct such a large-scale barrier zone march had been known to the Hillman family. Prometheus had already laid out all the plans. The plan had been prepared as early as a year ago. Just wait for Section 3 to launch such an operation.

These semi-mechanical biochemically modified mutants require very low nutritional consumption and have almost fully mechanized bodies. Their bodies are controlled by AI. They can only use telekinesis, but they will be killed immediately if they are disobedient.

"Listen up, you will fight against the Xingke Branch that has made you miserable all these years. If you don't want to die, use telekinesis as much as possible to defend yourself during the battle. Don't let your body be damaged. Your bodies are equipped with High-energy explosives, once you are exposed."

After Erwin took a sip of wine, he held the glass casually in front of him with one hand, and suddenly let go.

boom

The cup shattered, and all the semi-mechanical biochemically modified mutants looked at the broken cup in fear. They couldn't even speak. Their tongues had been cut off long ago, and a mouth was equipped with a missile that could instantly spit out 10 cultivation missiles. The launcher, this kind of pocket missile mounted on high-energy explosives, is also an extremely important weapon research result in the hands of the Hillman family and has very powerful lethality.

The 100 elite mutants do not participate in the battle, but follow them throughout the process. If any problem occurs, they will kill all the guys who see these semi-mechanical biochemically modified mutants and recycle some things.

After more than 20 years of detecting the barrier area, the Hillman family has relied on the detection robot they developed to know the map of the barrier area well, so Prometheus can quickly calculate where to carry out operations. Ambushes, and choosing where to fight.

Erwin looked at the soldiers who had already begun to take action and showed a happy smile. There is a parking area for take-off and landing machines on the upper level of the base. There are 20 small take-off and landing machines independently developed by the Hillman family. They will start in a few hours. Transport these soldiers to the designated ambush location. After friction occurs between the criminal department and the criminals in the barrier area, they will immediately join the battle.

Everyone is wearing common clothes in the barrier area. Although the cheeks have been mechanically modified, after taking off the veil, it will not feel weird in such a place with relatively low visibility.

Erwin turned around happily. He planned to go back to his lounge to have a drink and celebrate such a grand moment. As long as the battle data is collected, Prometheus can calculate the current battle with Xingke Due to the gap in strength, the Hillman family only needs to spend another 10 years to further complete the research and development of various new technologies, and all problems can be solved.

Although the work on virtual personality research has been hindered, it is still steadily researching and collecting data. Prometheus has successfully completed a cross-agreement agreement with urban AIs. Now Section 10 is researching emotion recognition systems in prisons. In this way, Prometheus A large amount of data can be obtained from these studies.

As the elevator rose slowly, Erwin showed an excited smile. As the second son of the branch family, he had no status in the entire branch family. He was basically like a useless person and could only marry into other families. However, after Eddie came to power, he gained his freedom and was appreciated by Eddie.

"I haven't seen Eddie for a long time. I really should have a drink with Eddie."

Erwin said, showing a strong smile, and the smile even became a little ferocious and twisted.

9:13 am

In the underground research laboratory of Hillman Pharmaceuticals, a new round of research has begun again. Fit and the medical scientists of the Personality and Psychiatry Research Group are still waiting for Billy to wake up. Last night was another all-night experiment. Their current situation It's very dangerous. The new batch of medical scientists from the Hillman family are already preparing to replace them. If they still can't produce any results, someone will be replaced. Fite looked at an older medical scientist next to him. , he has been extremely uncomfortable every day recently, and his research work is at the bottom of the entire medical team.

Fit knew that he couldn't stand it anymore. If today's research failed again, he would be dead, and his family would be dead too. Although everyone sympathized with him, and some even wanted to help him, when everyone was collecting data The work is the same, but they all have independent laboratories and research rooms, and in the end they need to submit their own results.

Fit also wanted to help him, but in the last submission of research results, Fit was ranked 19th, which was already far behind. There were 31 people in total. Fit had dropped from the previous 10th to 19th.

The personality implantation was completed at 2 a.m. last night, but Billy was still in a comatose state and still hadn't woken up.

Everyone is very anxious. Eddie Hillman has given them a deadline. If the results cannot be submitted within this year, all of them will be reduced to waste and wiped out.

Everyone is looking forward to Billy waking up. Currently, Billy still has 6 personalities and has not increased. Although the fragments of different personalities still remain, they will basically disappear within a week.

At this time, Billy's breathing became a little faster, and everyone looked at the panel. Now Billy's brain waves were extremely unstable. It looked like he was dreaming. His ferocious expression suggested that it was a nightmare.

Billy kept moving his head, trying to open his eyelids, but he couldn't open them no matter what.

"What exactly are you planning to do to me?"

BOSS Billy stared quietly at the fat butcher Billy in front of him, and the plural butcher female Billys wearing white blood-stained masks next to them. This was something BOSS Billy didn't expect. Butcher Billy's personality was split. A sub-personality of his own, as his assistant, all the personalities implanted in Billy's heart have been killed by Billy the Butcher.

BOSS Billy is still protecting Billy's other five personalities, but if he cannot leave this personality world, Billy will be in danger and unable to wake up. The chaos in the brain will escalate, eventually causing the brain to overwork. Causes brain damage, causing permanent irreversible damage, and even those personalities will be confused, and he will become a complete madman.

The entire meat hanging room was filled with a large amount of air-dried meat. Butcher Billy was still chatting with deputy Ge Billy next to him. His voice was very low. Boss Billy couldn't hear what they were saying. He was putting a new After the personality of the implanted female scientist was wiped out, BOSS Billy was captured by Billy the Butcher.

The only thing BOSS Billy can't control is the extremely dangerous butcher Billy's personality. This personality has a super high IQ and can acquire knowledge known to all personalities like himself. This is extremely terrifying, and his He has an extremely violent personality. He has appeared many times before, and Billy has killed some people many times.

All these things have been covered up by King Xue. Only King Xue and the three guys from Section 2 knew about it, and Li Chu also knew about it. But Li Chu still didn't say anything, and instead asked King Xue to help cover it up, because Billy was very concerned about the gods. Useful, this was the fundamental reason why Li Chu wanted to keep him.

BOSS Billy guessed a little bit, but he didn't say it explicitly, he just hid it in his heart. This was what saved Billy's life.

"I need more delicious food! But you seem so delicious. I want to eat you."

Butcher Billy stuck out his fat tongue and licked his lips. At this time, Deputy Ge Billy came over and chuckled.

"Anyway, he can come back here countless times without any injuries, as long as we don't kill him."

BOSS Billy looked at the two personalities in front of him in horror. One of them picked up the butcher's knife, and the other picked up the meat cleaver, and they were approaching him step by step.

"You two, don't go too far. This will cause serious damage to the body, or do you want to lose everything here forever!"

While BOSS Billy was talking, two Billys walked towards him. They only had expressions of longing and greed. BOSS Billy felt the danger. He struggled, but his body was fixed by hooks at the joints. , unable to move at all.

Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly appeared next to BOSS Billy. With two whooshing sounds, the hook nailed to BOSS Billy's joints flew out. BOSS Billy looked at this dark figure with only Billy in surprise. The silhouette of your shadow, the hidden personality. In an instant, BOSS Billy opened his mouth in surprise, but he was already grabbed by this shadow Billy and started running. The two Billys behind him chased after him with a ferocious smile.

"Who are you anyway?"

Before BOSS Billy could finish speaking, he had already been taken to the entrance of the town. Black Shadow Billy directly tore open a gap and threw BOSS Billy in.

"From now on, you only need to bring the unnecessary personality to the gap, and I will be responsible for throwing him into the slaughterhouse."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gap began to close. At the moment when the gap closed, BOSS Billy saw that the entire town seemed to melt. Both Butcher Billy and Deputy Ge Billy floated up, and a large number of blood-red particles scattered throughout the town.

BOSS Billy stared quietly at this small gap where only some white could be seen, and blood was no longer leaking.

At this time, BOSS Billy turned his head and saw Doctor Billy, who had his hands in his pockets and was wearing a white coat.

"it should be no problem?"

BOSS Billy asked, and Doctor Billy nodded.

"I have given sedatives to several other Billys. They will not wake up in a short time. Is it up to you to get out now or me?"

BOSS Billy laughed.

"We can't be exposed. We don't have the ability to escape now. The only way is to keep Billy."

Doctor Billy nodded. At this moment, BOSS Billy floated in front of a white gap and opened the gap with his hands, revealing a dazzling city at dusk.

Doctor Billy looked at everything inside with some surprise.

"you"

"Please believe me, Doctor Billy, Ragnarok will come one day!"

BOSS Billy entered this dazzling city at dusk with a smile. The moment the opening was closed, Doctor Billy saw a huge tower that was collapsing little by little.

Doctor Billy smiled and turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared into the dark space.

call

With a violent gasp, Billy woke up. In just two seconds, he regained his consciousness and looked at the empty wall of the room in front of him solemnly. He didn't know what BOSS Billy said about Ragnarok. What it is, but now Doctor Billy probably knows that in the past, the personalities that were chaotic and fighting for control of each other, in the long war, although Doctor Billy found a way to stabilize them, the entire Billy's world is still in a state of chaos. In the chaotic state, Billy finally gave birth to a BOSS personality that could control everything. However, only Billy the Butcher's increasingly violent personality was difficult to control. This was a big problem for Billy the Doctor. Fortunately, he was temporarily controlled by the BOSS. Billy found a solution.

Billy knew that someone was watching him, and what they wanted to do was completely clear to him after such a long period of research. He smiled coldly, as long as he found a chance to leave here, the Hillman family would be finished.

"Do you want to know what I dreamed about? If you want to have a good chat with me, I will tell you. After all, I am also a doctor and I know how important this research is to human beings!"

After Billy finished speaking, he stared excitedly in front of him. At this time, the medical scientists in the research room hesitated, because it was impossible for them to contact Billy without Prometheus's order.

"I think it's necessary. Can we have access to the experimental subjects?"

Feite asked nervously, but cold words came from the loudspeaker.

"reject!"

Near 11 o'clock, on an upper street, Jean walked into a candy shop with a smile. Ye Lai, who was taking a rest, saw Jean and ran over happily. After Jean chose some candies, Ye Lai quickly gave them He packs.

"How are you doing lately? I heard your wife is pregnant!"

"You are truly well-informed, Mr. Jean."

Ye Lai smiled and held the back of his head. Gene took out a cigarette, but after seeing Ye Lai's wife coming out, he immediately bowed politely and put it away.

"Where's the name!"

"It's a girl! My name is Ye Jiao, what do you think?"

Gene smiled and nodded.

"She must be a cute little princess, congratulations."

Ye Lai nodded excitedly. Gene paid for the candy and went out. The reason why he came to buy candy was because he planned to buy it back to calm the conflict between Niya and Olivia. After all, children like candy. .

More than a month was not a long time nor a short time. The two of them were arguing with each other almost every day. Olivia didn't have any adult demeanor to get into trouble with such a teenager.

After Niya experienced working at a construction site, she still adapted to it. Gene didn't know what to do with the more than one month left. Niya was definitely determined not to go back to school, although Ange The Si couple agreed to leave it to Jean for a period of time, but that didn't mean that Jean could continue to train Niya. During this period of time, Jean would guide them in fighting. Only when fighting would the two of them stop bickering.

Jean looked around, and after just stopping on the street for a short while, many people came over, mostly women. Jean just smiled and nodded, and quickly returned to the alley.

There are quite a lot of things going on recently. Jean is looking at Niya while dealing with things every day. Now the march to the barrier area has begun. Jean wants to go to the barrier area in a few days to see the situation.

"Let's do this first!"
