Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

boom

A glass full of wine fell to the ground, and the bright red wine in the glass splashed all over the floor.

The corners of Eddie's eyes twitched slightly, his expression was stiff, and his raised right hand was still in a clenched posture. In front of him were incomplete videos, which were videos of the raid on the base of the Altan Ula Mountains. It took less than an hour from the raid to the capture. More than 20 high-level mutants easily killed all the mechanically biochemically modified mutants.

The mechanical and biochemical transformation mutants that had already shown results in Section 3's marching battle plan were defeated and were directly killed by these mutants in a short period of time. Even if they were equipped with light-killing weapons, they still could not break through these high-level mutations. The scabs created by people, the sudden failure of the defense system and the betrayal caught Eddie off guard.

"What on earth is going on!"

"It is certain that the enemy directly destroyed the external network signal transmission tower. The enemy climbed up to the Alatan Ula Mountains with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters and destroyed 21 hidden signal towers, disrupting the AI ​​signal command transmission inside the base."

A drop of sweat flowed from Eddie's forehead. He could not imagine that the base in the barrier area would be breached by the criminals in the barrier area.

"Request!"

"The enemy will not accept any negotiation."

boom

Eddie kicked the table over, his anger welling up. He picked up the wine bottle next to him and threw it to the ground. He let out a heart-wrenching cry in his throat. The sound sounded terrifying. And the flames of Prometheus beside him expanded slightly, looking a little excited.

Anger made Eddie's whole body start to tremble. For a moment, the country in his mind collapsed. Eddie couldn't imagine which link had the problem or where they found this base.

It is true that this base has provided food, water, weapons and medical treatment to criminals in the barrier area over the years, but after the underground factory in Jizhigrad was built and before the operations department began to take action, this base had been completely occupied. It was sealed off, and there were a large number of detection robots surrounding the base. It was impossible for there to be no reaction before the attack.

There is only one possibility. Eddie noticed something. He stared at Prometheus quietly, but he quickly eliminated this idea. Eddie was proficient in AI language programs and was not relying on the AI ​​language under his hands as he seemed. Programmers.

A long time ago, when Leng Shi and his wife were imprisoned, Eddie had already studied hard and seriously, so he was sure that Leng Shi could not do anything in the program, because under his own personal review and modification of Prometheus Prometheus's source code, the core of the ultimate direction of this source code is himself, and it is impossible for Prometheus to betray himself.

Looking at the situation analysis on a light and shadow screen, it can be clearly understood that the enemy first destroyed the external signal tower, completely paralyzing the signal in the Alataura Mountains, and then successfully captured the huge base in the mountain range, and then The internal information storage equipment was directly destroyed. Although there was a data backup in the virtual network, in severe weather like the barrier zone, if a section of the network was disconnected, these virtual transmission data signals would not exist for too long, so At present, reasonable analysis can only be made based on part of the image data obtained.

"Those bugs!"

Such a huge gap makes Eddie feel extremely worried. Nowadays, the core technology research is still in the city. Eddie originally planned to take advantage of the start of the Guoyuan Project this year to gradually transfer these core technology research institutes to It is more convenient for research to go to the base in the barrier area, but now the plan has completely failed, and Eddie feels that he may lose this base forever.

But soon Eddie hatched a plan in his mind to leak the incident at the Alatan Ula Mountains to the Business Department and let the Business Department handle it.

"Sir Eddie, once the plan is leaked, our plan will also be noticed."

Eddie smiled and nodded, knowing what he meant just by thinking about Prometheus.

"Let's put it aside for a while. Even if we don't take action, they might bring our family affairs to the executive branch."

"The probability is only 50%!"

Eddie sat down. At this time, he felt soft all over his body. The Alatan Ula Mountains are the training base for the next generation of technicians of the Hillman family. It is an extremely important part of the plan. Now it has been lost. At this base, Eddie only felt immense heartache, and what would happen next, Prometheus could not calculate in a short time.

The only way now is to find someone to negotiate as soon as possible. Eddie thought about the people in the Si family who could be used, but no one was suitable. At this time, Prometheus gave the answer.

On a light and shadow panel, Ran Zhi's information appeared in front of Eddie.

"It just so happens that Prometheus, I happened to be thinking about this problem as well."

In the latest piece of information, it was shown that Ran Zhi's wife Ding Manman was suffering from blight, and Eddie smiled slightly.

"After all, we are relatives, and we should help each other more at times like this! Help me arrange today's schedule immediately. I need to get to the hospital in District 118 as soon as possible."

"I understand, Mr. Eddie!"

Near 5 o'clock

The hot temperatures begin to subside and the streets become lively again. No matter how hard life is, every district in the city will be very lively during the New Year. Since the councilors came to power, the atmosphere in many districts has changed. They all started to become more active.

The councilors are trying their best to stimulate the atmosphere in the area. At this time, in some streets, some activities organized by councilors and merchants have begun. The types of activities are very rich.

A lucky draw is taking place in a shopping mall. Anyone who purchases more than 100 yuan in shopping mall items during this period can participate in a lottery. The prizes range from luxury cars to shopping mall coupons, and the congressman is also holding a microphone. , talking diligently to the people who came to participate in the lottery, to mobilize the overall atmosphere.

A black car drove slowly past the surging crowd outside the mall. Wu Qun sat quietly in the car, followed by several vehicles with the logo of the bodyguard company. Some people on the road also noticed the car, but Nobody knows.

Wu Qun had just attended a meeting of factional councilors and returned to the District Office located in the middle-level District 51. The District Office was right next to this large shopping mall. As soon as the car arrived at the door, many reporters approached and surrounded it. After closing the gate, Wu Qun's car was forced to stop. His expression looked a little tired. Wu Qun felt nervous due to the recent events one after another.

Many of these things made Wu Qun powerless at the moment. After some bodyguards got out of the car, they began to separate the reporters who were surrounding them. Wu Qun smiled helplessly and pretended to be smiling as he got out of the car and waved. A large number of reporters began to take pictures. Wu Qun Qun could only walk past in one step.

"Member Wu Qun, I heard that the progress of the parliamentary review of the funds of the administrative department has slowed down. Is there any unknown reason for this!"

"Please don't believe the rumors in the market. The slowdown in funding review does not mean that there is something shady in it, but because the orchard plan has been included in this year's overall urban construction plan, it will be completed by March at the latest. Construction has started, so all of us are actively making arrangements before the start of the plan. Slowing down does not mean that there will be no review. Please rest assured!"

Wu Qun said that several bodyguards pushed aside the crowd, and he quickly walked in. Facing a large number of reporters' questions, Wu Qun could only respond with a smile and a look back. After the door of the district rights office was closed, Wu Qun looked in front of him. There are a sporadic district power office clerks, they are all New Year assistants working in the district power office, and other councilors have gone out to carry out regional activities in various places in the region.

"Let's all get busy!"

Wu Qun returned to his office on the second floor. When he opened it, he found a bright, neat and clean office. Although it was not large, it looked comfortable and secure. Wu Qun sat at his desk and sighed helplessly.

The unemployment wave has arrived. In this year of 2221, many companies have laid off a number of temporary employees, and most of the workers have no work to do. Everyone hopes that Angus Construction can start construction after the year. Then they will have a job again.

The last place for those who are forced to go is the agricultural base in the east. They need a lot of manpower, but many people don't want to go. Now Section 12 has issued a recruitment agreement, and workers must sign a one-year agreement. labor contract, this is the reason why many people do not plan to go there.

Because many people are worried that if they pass, their monthly salary of 500 yuan will still have to be taxed, which is only 6,000 yuan a year. Although medical care, food and accommodation are free, it is not ideal for many people. What if Angus If construction starts, time will be wasted in farmland.

Everyone has a clear understanding in their mind. If Angus Construction starts after working for the past few months, all the industries in the city will be mobilized again. Previously, because of Angus Construction, most companies in the city They have all adjusted the industries within the company and are all serving construction. Among them are the small thoughts of those who want to make profits, as well as various incentive policies issued by the business department, but now the shortcomings have been exposed.

Companies that have adjusted their industrial structure and industrial direction during construction for so long now find it extremely difficult to transform into other industries, which has led to a wave of unemployment.

Now many middle- and lower-level businessmen have turned their attention to the orchard project, but Wu Qun is well aware of the difficulties of this plan. It is impossible to start construction in a short time. Even if it is started, it will only be for the people in the city, or at the bottom. People see some hope, even if it is in the distant future, but hope is hope and can inspire people.

Wu Qun is somewhat dissatisfied with the current approach of the administrative department, but at this time, everyone can only discuss it and cannot engage in excessive fighting with each other, which will only increase the burden on the city.

The economic model that Wu Qun wanted to implement, or a relatively stable industrial chain that he and seven others developed, has never been implemented. There are too many reasons for this.

The balance issue between the family faction and the businessman faction has troubled Wu Qun and the other seven people. One side was comforted, and the other side was raised again. Recently, Wu Qun has been actively running around in various banquet venues. In order to balance the current rights and interests of the family and businessmen, adjustments have also been made in the related industries under their jurisdiction in each district. The reason why Wu Qun feels so tired lies in the business department.

"These little brats!"

Wu Qun smiled bitterly. In Wu Qun's opinion, they, the senior executives from the School of God, had no big problems in terms of ability and management. They were of the same type as them, but the most terrible thing was that , except for Alpha, the chief of Section 5, and Heathcote, the chief of Section 8, some of the other guys are more like a group of idealists.

This is the most critical point. Nowadays, the situation in the business department has begun to deteriorate. Wu Qun has reminded Locke many times, but now his relationship with Locke is no longer what it used to be. There is no way he can say something easily. , because the two of them have different positions, different positions, and different experiences and encounters, Wu Qun cannot persuade Locke, and Locke's actions cannot affect Wu Qun.

The reason is that many current business executives are more like outsiders, using everything they have learned and mastered to control everything. However, if they have not struggled through the troughs in many things, those who break through the boundaries will not succeed. % of talents are difficult to display.

This is what Wu Qun is most worried about. The solidification of business affairs has led to the intensification of urban class solidification, and one annoying thing keeps popping up.

Wu Qun had talked about this practical problem with Alpha some time ago. When people face setbacks, they will habitually escape. Wu Qun knows this very well. He once also escaped from the same situation as these young business department managers. It took a long time, and even once I couldn't pick it up anymore, but the turning point came from the ideals and ambitions hidden deep in my heart in the past.

Those things could never be erased. Wu Qun finally dug out these deeply buried things and finally stood on his own stage.

Not listening to advice is the biggest problem in the current affairs department. Making analysis and judgment according to one's own wishes or based on some data, but this is not what Wu Qun wants to see, the kind of person who burns himself to the extreme and squeezes out every life from himself. Wu Qun cannot see a drop of blood, sweat and every talent.

The gods wanted to make the city managers work as a whole, like a highly efficient machine, so that they could lift this huge city. Wu Qun knew it well, and he had achieved it now. .

The parliamentarian group headed by Freya has very good cohesion, which is necessary. But what each subject lacks now is cohesion. Only 5 subjects have achieved this, but this is the result of Alpha's sacrifice of everything. .

Suffering can’t bring you anything, but the only thing it can bring you is hardship. After overcoming the suffering, many things will become much easier. Today’s 12 businessmen are all going through this process of suffering. Wu We can't see the problems in the current affairs department with our current perspective, because this is incorrect and incomparable.

The times and the environment are different. The current era is more subtle. The administrative department has achieved some results in the past few years, but these results were based on extremely strict control. The result is oppression. came out, rather than naturally occurring.

Wu Qun was a little nervous and called up the page of the Acting Department, and quickly entered the page of the 3rd Department.

Snapped

Wu Qun slapped his palm on the table with anger.

"What the hell!"

It has been more than 8 months since last year's march in the barrier zone of Section 3 caused a large number of casualties, and the pensions for the casualties have only progressed by 32% so far. This is what makes Wu Qun very angry. After reading the comments below, they were all praising the performance of Section 3. Wu Qun became more and more angry and turned off the screen.

At that time, Wu Qun and Freya had already persuaded Section 3 Chief Osman and Secretary Zijuan. They also said that they would complete the payment of pensions as soon as possible. Nine months is already a long time. The family members are already exhausted physically and mentally, but they still have no way to get this pension.

However, the family members of these casualties did not participate in any demonstrations, which is enough to show that they have signed a contract with Section 3, and this contract should have a deadline to be fulfilled.

In Wu Qun's view, although money cannot solve any problems, it can soothe the hearts of the families of the deceased and injured to the greatest extent. Although the situation in the three departments is indeed difficult, no matter what method is used, it must be solved within one or two months. , this is the best approach, and now the voices of dissatisfaction with the 3 subjects in the city have exploded.

Section 1 is still thinking about the legal control comments, but some things cannot be suppressed. Even if Osman has taken over all the problems, it means that the problem will never be solved. The key is to have a corresponding attitude. This is Wu The group didn't see it.

There was only an insignificant briefing session for the families of the dead and injured. What the people need to see are actual things, not passionate and exciting words that will only become a laughing stock in the end.

Wu Qun sighed, no longer knowing what to say. It is true that the problems with the Angus family have slowed down the construction of the Congress, but people want to come up with solutions. Even if the methods are sometimes a little embarrassing, they are always There is a way.

Wu Qun has already foreseen the future difficulties of Section 3. If some actual problems are not solved decisively at this time, Section 3 will be extremely difficult in the future.

Wu Qun has definitely discussed this issue with Freya. Section 3 needs a leader who can unite everything, but it is almost impossible to cultivate such a leader in a short time.

“Just have to look at it at the next city meeting.”

Wu Qun sighed. At this time, a phone call came. Wu Qun looked at this unfamiliar number in confusion, and it turned out that he could call in.

"Excuse me."

"Long time no see Councilor Wu Qun!"

Wu Qun felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but he soon recognized it.

"King Xue, what's the matter?"

"You should be aware that there are certain things that I think we need to put on the table and explain clearly. The location is at All Fields Academy. It's 10 o'clock tonight. I wonder if you are free?"

Wu Qun sighed.

"Of course, who else did you invite?"

"Ms. Freya and the others have also notified you. I'm sorry for contacting you in this way."

Wu Qun smiled helplessly.

"It's a good thing that you took the initiative to come to us, King Xue. If these matters are not resolved, you should also know what will happen to the business department in the future."

"Of course, Councilor Wu Qun, we are looking forward to your visit, but please bring your own food!"

After hanging up the phone, Wu Qun laughed heartily and sighed helplessly.

"Besides Alpha, the most astute guy in the business is King Xue."

The last ray of the sun disappeared, and the whole city turned blood red. A helicopter slowly landed in the sky above the District 118 Hospital.

"Hurry up, Moore, remember to greet your grandmother well later, you know?"

Ran Yu took the lead and walked out with his son with a smile. Eddie and Ran Qiu followed closely behind, chatting and laughing. A large number of bodyguards from the Hillman family began to come out of the lift. A group of people came towards the airport in a mighty manner. Walk towards the ward below.

Soon everyone came to the door of a ward. Ran Yu and Ran Qiu looked nervous at this time. There was no smile on their faces. After opening the door of the ward, Ran Yu walked forward and hugged the patient with sunken eyes. , the father with dark circles under his eyes.

"Dad, I'm sorry!"

Ran Zhi shook his head, but when he saw Eddie, his expression immediately became suspicious, and Eddie bowed.

"Mr. Ran Zhi, I'm really sorry. I just learned the news now."

Ran Zhi nodded and explained Ding Manman's current situation to his son and daughter. Ran Yu and Ran Qiu walked to Ding Manman, who was still unconscious, sobbed and shouted. Ran Zhi touched his grandson's head, walked out of the room and closed the door. After opening the door, he walked directly to the elevator, and Eddie quickly followed. Soon the two of them arrived at the top floor and entered the Hillman family's medium-sized lift. The interior was very luxurious. , like a living room in the sky, Eddie poured a cup of black tea for Ran Zhi.

"Sorry, I came to bother you!"

Ran Zhi nodded and Eddie sighed.

"There is currently a way to save your wife, but it involves a certain degree of danger."

Ran Zhi nodded.

"Is it biochemical modification?"

Eddie laughed immediately.

"According to our investigation and research on blight disease, most of this disease is caused by cell death throughout the body. In order to maintain the normal functions of the body, the body will divide into a large number of cells, accelerating the load on the body, and finally Some patients die of visceral failure, but if there is no body but only the brain, it can be delayed."

Ran Zhi nodded.

"What's the success rate!"

"With the technology we have now, it takes about 12 hours to cut off the connection between the brain and the body. These 12 hours will determine whether the transformed person is successful or not, but if our top scientific researchers perform the surgery, , the success rate is at least 80%.”

Ran Zhi looked at Eddie with some surprise.

"What are the conditions!"

"I need you to do me a favor."

Eddie began to talk about the current predicament of the Alatan Ula Mountains and the serious problems that the Hillman family may encounter in the future. They must negotiate with the criminals who currently occupy Alatan Ula, and they can only succeed, not fail.

"How to get out?"

Ranzhi asked and Eddie laughed.

"Of course I have a way. If possible, I will send you away tonight. As for your wife, don't worry. I have a backup plan to ensure that you can take your wife to our Hillman without anyone noticing. In a pharmaceutical underground research laboratory, only one day is enough.”

"make a deal!"

Ran Zhi said, and Eddie stretched out a hand. After the two held it, Eddie said with a smile.

“Happy to work with!”

6:49

Located in the base of the Alata Ula Mountains, at the damaged gate, a large number of criminals were holding weapons and aiming at a group of people who wanted to leave. Several leaders were also there. Agata was smoking silently. The cigarettes are taken out of the warehouse. The tobacco grown here tastes very good.

"We don't want to stay here anymore. We don't want anything. We just ask you to let us go."

"Yes, yes."

"We are really grateful to you for saving us and we just want to get back to the city."

Agata looked at these liberated people with an evil smile. Among them were scientific researchers from the original city, as well as ordinary criminals. It seemed that everyone wanted to return to the city as soon as possible to expose the evil deeds of the Hillman family. , although most people have said that they will only tell Xingke what the Hillman family did to them, and will not tell Xingke what is going on here, but the leaders are not fools, and they finally found such a good comfort zone. It is absolutely impossible to let these people go.

At this time, the crowd was excited, and most people wanted to leave. They would leave here earlier and walk back to the city while the wind and sand were less severe at night.

The noise became louder and louder, and Agata stared at these guys indifferently.

boom

With the sound of a gunshot, an excited man who squeezed over fell to the ground, with a hole in his head. The sound became quiet for a while, and many people squatted on the ground with their hands on their heads.

"We finally got you out of the sea of ​​misery. You don't have to be experimental subjects. You don't even say thank you, and you want to leave and expose what happened here. How can there be such a good thing in the world? We are not good people, we are just a group of people. Criminals, only the dead don't tell secrets. If you want to leave, you can just walk through this way."

Agata said, and immediately the men behind him who were smiling evilly began to load their guns. At this time, some people stepped back. Agata had already discussed with some leaders and allowed the Hillman family to continue to cause trouble in the city. They just need to continue to accumulate strength here, and when the brilliant city is in chaos, they will fight back to the city.

At this time, some people still wanted to escape. Agata saw the intention. Before those few people could cause a commotion, the leader opened fire and killed them. At this time, the people surrounding the door retreated.

"Strictly control this place. No one is allowed to go out. You can only enter but not leave."

Agata said, and the several bosses behind him also handed over their subordinates, and they also agreed that there must be a boss here to assist every day, and those who are sneaky and want to do something, just put collars on them. .

Everyone has seen what happened in Jizhigrad that night. The leaders have discussed this issue today and will never let this happen again.
