Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

10pm sharp

Everyone in the bright city looked at a beam of white light falling from the sky in the dark night sky of the barrier area. At this moment, everyone stopped. The light was very short and fleeting. After it disappeared, someone saw a flash of fiery red. .

Looking at it from a distance, it looked like a red-hot iron. At this time, many people on the ground floor felt the oncoming heat wave in the air. Compared with the coldness of the ground floor, this heat wave was like a warm wind.

Soon, as streaks of light shot out from the electric poles on the street, light and shadow screens appeared.

"Dear citizens, please don't panic. This is just an ordinary strong light test. Section 3 is currently operating very smoothly in the barrier area. Please don't worry."

Locke's image appeared in the streets and alleys, but obviously many people didn't believe it. This sudden white light falling from the sky had pierced the night sky of Brilliant City before. Some people speculated that it was a new type of weapon.

In a tavern, everyone was making a fuss, watching the video of the white light appearing and disappearing that had begun to spread on the Internet. It only lasted for 5 seconds, followed by a small piece of red flame.

In the tavern, several middle-aged people who had just finished their work and had dinner together looked at the white light in the video in silence. They all came from the photonics company owned by the Huosen family and were photonic engineers in the company. The five of them knew what was happening. Something, but they couldn't say anything, not even to their families.

When the five people started to get involved in the field of photonic engineering, they had already signed a confidentiality agreement with Congress and a confidentiality agreement with the company. Once they violated it, it would be a crime of urban harm. The photon engineering technology they had in their hands was this beam. The source of white light, this high-energy photon technology was obtained from Congress. It took five people more than 20 years to learn and practice it. Nowadays, some of the photokill weapons used by Section 3 are produced by this photon wage.

Although the five people did not have permission to further unlock the technology, they knew to some extent that once high-energy photons were released, they could be turned into very terrifying weapons as long as they had enough mass.

This is not accidental, but inevitable. In the opinion of these five people, there is no need for 3ke to carry out such a meaningless large-scale barrier zone operation. In the past year, the company received a large number of orders from 3ke , so many weapons that are meaningless in the eyes of the five people are a waste of the city's resources.

"Still the same rhetoric!"

One of the men wearing glasses put down the wine glass in his hand, and several others nodded slightly, no longer looking at Locke's impromptu speech on the street.

The five people are now increasingly dissatisfied with everything in the city, because their lives have also been affected due to work. People from Section 2 are often following them around. A lot of surveillance has been installed at home, and they don’t care about their travels. Wherever you go, especially those outside the surveillance scope, you need to report in detail.

"I can't do it anymore."

A man who looked exhausted said, and the other four were the same. It was very painful to know the truth. In the past, several people thought that they should be smarter than others and know more things than others. At that time, it was like treating a fool, but now the five people began to feel that this kind of thing was too painful.

5 people probably know how much tax money 3 subjects spent last year. Obviously the city is in this situation. Their friends are not having a good life and they are all complaining. It would be great to use these tax dollars directly to nourish the city, but it is wasted. On something so meaningless.

"I will resign after this year."

One man couldn't hold himself back anymore and said.

"Hao Yu, forget it. If you resign, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. You may be forcibly taken to Section 10."

Hao Yu shook his head.

"I can't bear it anymore. Every time I go home and face Lian's worried eyes, I feel like I can't go on."

The four of them all know that Lian is Hao Yu's daughter, who is just 4 years old this year. It is difficult for them to leave such a job because they have mastered too many technologies that are currently only open to the public in Bright City. They are eager for it before mastering the technology. But after mastering the technology, the freedom was constrained by this technology.

"If this continues, I will go crazy."

Hao Yu drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. At this time, the five people noticed a man wearing a coat and looking like a smile passing by. The five people planned to continue drinking for a while.

"It's almost time, gentlemen, please go home early."

For a while, the five people watched as the man passing by had entered the bathroom. In the end, the five people could only get up. After leaving the tavern, the five people walked in different directions. Each of them was equipped with a locator, and soon they followed. The signal on the locator indicates that a car is coming to pick up 5 people.

After Hao Yu got into a car, the man with the smile just now drove the car.

"My lord, may I ask you a question?"

The man driving the car nodded slightly.

"I want to resign, I don't know"

"Your current status is as informal Section 10 technicians dispatched by Section 10. If you don't want to work in the company, you can go to Section 10 to do it."

Hao Yu's eyes widened.

crunch

With a violent noise, a truck that suddenly lost control crashed into the front of the car. The front of the car was dented in an instant. Hao Yudun felt that the world was spinning, his eyes began to turn black, and he lost consciousness.

In just a few minutes, Hao Yu opened his eyes. Just as he was about to suffer, he was dragged out of the car by a man in black.

"Don't worry, we are here to rescue you."

Two men in black quickly dragged the injured Hao Yu out of the car and quickly disappeared into the night. At this time, the sunken front of the car suddenly bulged, and with bursts of crunching sounds, the man in the coat just now The man climbed up from the dented front of the car covered in blood. He seemed to be fine and quite conscious.

"Requesting support, photonic engineer Hao Yu has been taken away! Requesting to block the surrounding area, 5 kilometers."

10:57 pm

"The plan is successful, Mr. Eddie!"

A light came on in the dark space. Eddie was holding a wine bottle in his hand. His half-lidded eyes were widened and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. His expression gradually became more ferocious. He seemed to have woken up from a cold ice cellar. It looked like a corpse, with bloodshot eyes, pale skin, and life on its long cheeks.

"Did you make it!"

Eddie stood up, unscrewed the wine bottle, and took a long sip. The black flaming man's face in front of him smiled flatteringly.

"Success, Mr. Eddie, we have successfully obtained photon engineer Hao Yu. Now the operations department is conducting a large-scale search, but we have already left the scope of the search and are transferring Hao Yu."

"I need to transfer him to the experimental base of Alatan Ula as soon as possible and lead people to complete the construction of optical nuclear weapons as soon as possible."

Eddie had just slept for less than half an hour. The section chief of Section 2, R, had come in person. Eddie took him to the basements of the old houses behind Hillman Manor and found the eastern end of the Alatan Ula Mountains. It's a pity that more than half of the construction drawings of the fortress have been burned. This was done deliberately by Eddie. A few years ago, under Prometheus' precise plan, Eddie burned the important parts of the map. a part.

The overall plan of the Hillman family has been thwarted. The Angus family's problem, which was supposed to be resolved tonight, is now unsolved.

"They must pay the price. Prometheus, activate the backup plan. All you need to do is continue to create some problems. The Angus family cannot survive. Just leak the battle situation, as well as the experiment of violent alienation genes." , it must be accelerated. It doesn’t matter how much the experimental subjects are consumed. I need to develop a potion that can directly make mutants violent as soon as possible. Starting the financial trap, if the Angus family jumps in again, there will be nothing they can do this time. ."

"I know, Mr. Eddie, the backup plan has been activated!"

Eddie lay down comfortably and quickly closed his eyes. His expression at this moment seemed very peaceful. Everything began to become within reach, as long as he continued to endure it for a while.

Prometheus began to disappear little by little. After it disappeared, the entire space fell into darkness again, except for the slightly breathing red light spots in the passage of the room.

zero point

Following a violent withdrawal, Hao Yu turned over, turned sideways and vomited violently. A pair of hands with rubber gloves supported Hao Yu. This was a white room, and the light in the room was very soft. There were some medical machines placed around, and two people in white doctor uniforms were helping Hao Yu treat his injuries.

"Mr. Hao Yu, you have a slight concussion now. You will get better if you take a good rest."

Hao Yu nodded slightly, his memory was a little blurry, his head was buzzing, his memory was a little confused, but gradually Hao Yu regained his consciousness, and he remembered that when the car was passing an intersection, a large truck suddenly Rushed over.

"Who are you?"

Hao Yu asked, and the two doctors just told Hao Yu to have a good rest and left the ward. Hao Yu retched several times, struggled to get up, and came to the door. But at this time, Hao Yu discovered that there was no door. But just now he watched the two doctors go out. The first thing he thought of was the light and shadow door, which could only be opened with instructions. Hao Yu pressed his dizzy head and shouted several times in succession, but there was no response.

After feeling sleepy, Hao Yu could only lie back on the bed. The only thing he thought about at this moment was his wife and daughter.

lotus!

"Please cooperate with our investigation!"

A bunch of people from Section 5 entered a store and started questioning everyone in the store. This store was less than 50 meters away from the scene of the car accident. It was the store with the best view. There were many people on the street, but no one was there. Knowing what was going on, people from Section 3 and Section 5 were everywhere, as well as a small number of people from Section 2. They blocked some major roads and alleys, and even conducted door-to-door searches.

C stood quietly at the scene of the car accident. The room manager next to him was bandaged and was fine. This truck was abandoned 10 years ago. The bottom 5 members of Section 5 have been asked to confirm. The truck was abandoned before. There were indeed signs of movement at the location where the truck was abandoned.

If nothing can be found tonight, you can be sure that the enemy only took 3 minutes to leave the blockade. It should be the work of a relatively powerful mutant. This truck has been parked not far from this intersection. There is a back street where cars can be parked. It was placed there five days ago. I have asked people nearby and have not seen the owner of the car.

This is an extremely serious situation. Scientific researchers have been kidnapped. This is the first time in the past ten years that such a thing has happened. Now it is certain that some scientific and technological talents who were kidnapped, hijacked or even killed by criminals ten years ago are what lead to the current situation. This explains why clearing the barrier area becomes a difficult problem.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. C, this is my dereliction of duty!"

The head of the room came over with a bandage on his head, and C exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Go to the hospital to rest and recuperate."

Looking at the head of the room who was motionless with his head lowered, C laughed.

"Everyone makes mistakes, so there is no need to blame yourself too much!"

C pondered the direction of the investigation and looked at the information of the photon engineer named Hao Yu. He only mastered the manufacturing technology of high-energy photon weapons. As for photon weapons, there is no need to worry about them for the time being, because the theory taught to these technicians in the beginning was wrong. Yes, they can create photo-killing weapons, but they cannot create photo-nuclear weapons. The core technology is still in the hands of Congress. They know the principle in time, but without the corresponding equipment to realize the principle, it is impossible to create photo-nuclear weapons.

"Close the team, it's been an hour!"

As C said, he began to have people clean up the scene. One hour was enough for the group to take the photonic engineer 50 kilometers away. Finding it was simply a fool's errand. C did not intend to continue the search because he had already searched the nearby area. Some people panicked.

0:11

Black smoke and dust were rising from the surface of the flailing sticky black liquid. Frye stood quietly above this huge black sticky hot pit with his hands in his pockets. He watched all this behind the curtain. At the moment when the light just appeared, Frye stood in the light, and he witnessed everything. The moment the place disappeared, Frye didn't know what happened, and why he was here.

"Things like light are supposed to bring people hope, but now they have turned into despair. Remember this despair, Frye, you should feel it!"

Frye nodded and stared at the black goo that was solidifying below with a serious expression. There was nothing else left.

In a daze, Frye woke up. He pressed his head. All he could remember was a white light falling from the sky and something on his cheek. Frye stretched out his hand to press the tears that overflowed near his eyes. The clone Lolita next to him was sleeping soundly. , Frye stood up gently and looked at the time, which was just 1 am.

After Frye got up, he was going to inspect a circle of wards. He held a flashlight and walked in the dark corridor. Strange screams came from both sides from time to time. Most of the doctors working here were asleep. The workload is very heavy and he is very tired every day. Often he can only sleep for three or four hours. However, Frye feels that his energy is getting better and better recently and his body is much stronger than before.

He feels comfortable doing many things. Recently, Frye has come up with a treatment plan that can restore the most basic living abilities to those with mental disorders. This is the only thing Frye can do for them.

Frye Mental Hospital in the dark night was as scary as ever. Frye was patrolling all the way. At this time, a hand stretched out from the small window of a ward, and Frye looked over.

"Mr. Ma Ming, why can't you sleep?"

The moment Frye turned around and was about to go in, his expression froze and he looked at everything in front of him blankly.

The cell door opened, and Fry walked in slowly. The patient named Ma Ming huddled in the corner of the room with some fear. At this time, the cells around him opened, and a black shadow crossed the room. The flashlight light in Lai's hand quickly divided into several rays and entered all the rooms in the hospital. Frye sat quietly in Ma Ming's ward and took out the tranquilizer from his pocket absentmindedly. , and then injected Ma Ming mechanically and numbly.

At this time, there was a trace of distortion in the long and narrow corridor, and cracks appeared in some empty places.

Something jumped out from the black floor. It was a black and red plant. These dense plants began to crawl all over the corridor and kept jumping into each ward. At this time, bursts of whimpering could be heard. But soon the whimpers of these patients disappeared, and each of the patients was entangled in black and red plants and held up in the air. The plants were piercing their noses, ears, eyes, and mouths.

Time passed by, and Frye Mental Hospital was seen from a distance in the dark night. In the dim light, the black outline of the hospital had some undulations.

Frye left the room where Ma Ming was already asleep in a daze. He stood on the black and red plants. The dense plants were like horizontal elevators, carrying Frye through the wards.

At this time, Frye's eyes were flashing with scarlet light. He walked all the way through the ward, quickly going from top to bottom, and passed all the floors.

4:11 am

Frye woke up. Although he was a little tired, he smiled. It took several hours to patrol the wards, and he also injected tranquilizers for some patients who were restless at night. Frye looked at the cold corridor, Sitting on the steps of the corridor leading from the hospital building to the cemetery behind, there was a street lamp for lighting next to him. Frye took out a cigarette, lit it and took a comfortable puff.

"What's wrong Fry?"

A soft female voice sounded behind Frye. Frye turned his head and looked at Lolita wrapped in a blanket. She leaned over with a smile and sat next to Frye.

“Did I do this alone?”

Frye asked suspiciously, and Lolita giggled.

"How is it possible that Fry, there are other doctors involved, but now the doctors have gone to rest."

There was a hint of evil on Lolita's face. Fry pressed her forehead. She didn't know what was going on. What she had done recently always felt a little inconsistent. After putting out the cigarette butt, Fry stood up and walked towards a person next to the hospital. In the room, Lolita's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and she followed with a smile. Fry walked to a makeshift workroom used by doctors. After walking over, Fry opened the door of the workroom.

But at this moment Frye felt his eyes go dark. He walked in and sat down in an empty and dusty place.

"Dr. Lu, thank you for your hard work."

Frye said, raising his hands and shaking hands with the air. What Frye saw in his eyes at this time was several doctors eating a steaming dinner and talking and laughing about something.

Fry felt his heart warm and continued.

"I'm really sorry. Everyone is willing to help."

After Frye talked and laughed in the air for a while, at 5 o'clock in the morning, he stood up, as if he was being helped up, turned around and walked out, and there were only some dusty tables, chairs and benches behind him. After waving, he left with satisfaction.

Lolita smiled and leaned over from the darkness.

"Don't run outside, or you'll be discovered."

Lolita smiled and leaned on Frye's arm, saying happily.

"After all, there are more people with kind hearts. If it weren't for you, this hospital would have been finished long ago."

Frye smiled with emotion. This is indeed the case. The hospital now has nearly 3,000 patients and only more than 40 resident doctors. This is a huge burden for the doctors, so most of the time, many doctors They couldn't see each other because they were responsible for different patients and needed to be busy all day long and into the evening.

"Let's go to bed early, Fry!"

Lolita said, Frye nodded, he really felt tired. He had a happy chat with the doctors just now. Frye was in a good mood and planned to have a good sleep and continue working when he got up. It would be great to have these doctors in the hospital. Helping is where Fry feels the warmth.

It’s just that Huashen hasn’t been here for a long time recently. Fry also hopes to talk to him when he has time, because he recently heard that Department 4 wants to open a medical school and Huashen will be the president, so Fry hopes that Huashen can Open a psychiatric department so that doctors can continue to come here in the future.

crunch

Fry stopped, held up the flashlight, and looked at a damaged road surface under his feet. He had just stepped on a pebble and almost slipped. Fry clearly remembered that there was no such small hole the size of a thumb in this place. Lolita dragged her Frye said.

"Hurry up, I'm sleepy. It won't be long before dawn. When it gets up, you have to send me back to the basement. I want to lie with you for a while."

Frye stood up with an embarrassed smile and continued walking. He opened the door to the dean's office. At this time, a light and shadow screen was flashing. After Frye walked over, he smiled happily, because the patients' The case has been updated, and the updater is a doctor named Zhao. There is also a cigarette that this doctor often smokes on the table.

"You remember Lolita, try not to let anyone see you anyway."

Lolita nodded and said.

"Don't worry Fry, I will always find a place to hide first. This hospital is so big, isn't it?"

Frye hummed, turned off the light and shadow screen, and lay on the bed. Lolita lay next to Frye with a smile.

The seeds have been planted!

The night was dark, and biting cold winds blew across the barrier area that had been calm for a long time. The dots of light connected into a large area near a wind-swept mountain range.

The first day of the cleaning operation was finally over. In each military tent, many people from Section 3 were huddled in the tents and were already asleep.

Several officers were holding weapons and were patrolling the outside of the area where more than 50 teams gathered. There was a raider tank next to it. The cold had already passed through the outer gown and penetrated into the one-piece thermal insulation jacket. , tickling the skin, arousing waves of coolness.

Several patrolling members of Section 3 looked at the dark place behind from time to time. No one knew what kind of weapons were used. They only saw the entire fortress disappearing after being shrouded in white light. It was higher up the mountain. After seeing the whole place, we found that it was a huge lava pit.

The above did not tell the staff what happened, but after the huge beam of light fell from the sky, in just a few seconds, they saw a huge floating object, which seemed to be moving slowly but was actually moving quickly. far away.

It was just past 1 a.m., and according to the order, they had to continue moving forward according to the marching route at 9 a.m., and continue to survey and map the landforms of the barrier area during the march.

Many people don't have time to sort out their chaotic thoughts or complex emotions, so they can only fall asleep and then start taking action again as soon as they open their eyes.

In the dark night, floaters were around the camp, sending back information about the camp from time to time. Ling Hong had just rested for an hour on a chariot on the way over. She was much more energetic now. She didn’t know why Section 10 It can use optical nuclear weapons. Even she doesn't know what that behemoth is.

In order to reduce casualties, starting from tomorrow, if criminals are found to be resisting, they will directly use bombers to bomb, and then carry out encirclement and suppression. This seemingly easy combat plan is actually not easy for everyone in Section 3. This is true.

Ling Hong pressed her forehead. Under the light in the tent, she looked a little restless. At this time, the door of the tent was opened, and a sleepy-eyed female director walked in.

"Ling Hong, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Mel, I can't sleep."

The female director named Meier sat over, patted Ling Hong's shoulder comfortingly, and lay down on her own.

"We cannot fail this mission, nor can we back down, otherwise what will we pay for?"

Ling Hong hummed.

"Can't back down!"

After saying that, Ling Hong turned off the light, lay down in the sleeping bag, and closed her eyes. But soon Ling Hong opened her eyes again. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would think of all the things she had done yesterday, and she couldn't sleep peacefully.

This march was a great test for everyone's body and mind. Mel stretched out a hand and pressed Ling Hong's cold cheek.

"None of us ever thought that the situation would become so serious, but... this is the reality. No matter how we think about right and wrong, this is a hurdle that our three departments must overcome. For those who died! Say sorry afterward! The matter can only end here, it can only end here!"
