Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"It's no problem now. You two come over quickly and sign the contract. Before the construction is completed, the expenses generated by the AI ​​system and attributed to Congress will be used by you."

Violet and Avano bowed respectfully. Tang Rao and Li Chu were sitting on the sofa in the living room. On the light and shadow screen in front of them was a project construction entrustment payment agreement. Now as long as Violet and Avano Vano's signature will take effect.

All expenses incurred by the service AI in the city will be transferred to the name of the Angus family. Angus Construction also signed a tax exemption agreement before. All Angus Construction projects currently being constructed for the city will be There is no need to pay taxes after making profits.

Nowadays, with the use of light and shadow material access points, the use of subways, the use of logistics pipelines, and the use of service AI, humanized service AI systems have begun to be popularized in the city. The next step is private AI service assistants for individuals and families. , related to all aspects of human life, and more conducive to the collection of human behavior pattern data.

Nowadays, all vehicles in the city are equipped with an upgraded version of the AI ​​service system, which can provide the Angus family with effective and stable income at least every month, which can support the opening of all subways in the south, and then complete the connection between the west, east and south. Once the connection is completed, the underground construction of the upper level can begin. The construction difficulty of the upper level is slightly easier than that of the middle and lower levels, and finally the north.

Such an urban underground system can allow Brilliant City to be used for more than two centuries. Even if it wants to be replaced or upgraded in the future, it can be done on the original basis.

Angus and his wife came to the sofa and signed their names on the light and shadow screen. In an instant, a light and shadow screen popped up on Violet's phone. 3.98 million had been credited to the Angus family's account.

"We are not unkind. We really had no choice before, but now the situation is much better. Well, we have to leave."

Li Chu stood up as he spoke, and Tang Rao followed him.

"Would you like a drink?"

Avano asked, Li Chu smiled and walked out, and Tang Rao shook his head.

"You'd better find that guy Jean, let's forget it."

After watching the two people leave, Violet smiled happily. After she sat down, she turned and walked into the kitchen behind the living room. Avano quickly followed in. The couple started to get ready. Jean said They will come over later, and the couple also plan to prepare some food first, and have a good drink with Jean when he comes over.

The reason why Angus Construction did not start construction is because Avano was sorting out the problems that occurred in the past construction and feedback these problems to the gods in detail. The gods solved most of the technical problems and some construction difficulties. It has gradually begun to be solved. Now the construction progress is very stable, and the rework rate is basically zero.

Avano sorted out the details of many issues bit by bit, while Violet arranged for the whole family to participate in the financial aspect, and spent countless days and nights calculating and scheduling issues. It is no longer about forecast accounting, but about using funds at every point according to the construction progress.

After reviewing the past construction materials in detail, Avano found that it was very chaotic. When the construction first started, everything was chaotic, and social security was a major obstacle to the construction. The black market reselling of materials was very rampant, but now It is no longer seen today. Due to the efforts of his daughter Alpha, although the black market transactions in Brilliant City still exist, the scale and extent are far less than before, and no one dares to touch this bottom line.

Everything that comes next will be much smoother than before. Many of the previous problems have been solved. The construction speed in the past few months has been very efficient. The couple has spent 4 years under such tremendous pressure.

Everything started to go more and more smoothly, and at this time Violet's originally smiling face became a little more serious.

"What exactly do the Hillmans want?"

Avano put down the kitchen knife in his hand, and his expression became serious. Now both of them are a little afraid of the Hillman family, because the bottom 60 factories of the Hillman family will start construction soon after the New Year. .

Congress has approved the construction of the Hillman family's factory on the ground floor, and construction will start soon. This is the issue that Angus and his wife are most worried about. This issue is unavoidable for the Angus family. In many places on the ground floor, there are There are some properties owned by the Angus family, and the factories in 43 districts are located on the Angus family's original properties.

Nowadays, no one lives in those places. The previous head of the Angus family bought that place very early, and it was close to the ravine area, because at that time Avano's father felt that if Brilliant City became a giant in the future, In cities, sewage treatment, raw material recycling, etc. are big problems, so we first bought a large number of lots on the ground floor close to the quarry, which had been idle before, and then leased them to some small companies. Real estate developer.

After Avano took over as the head of the Angus family, these lots had become idle. Later, Avano contracted them to others at a price of 10 yuan per square meter per year. Nowadays, there is still income from those places every year. But now the place the Hillman family has chosen is right on these lots.

In a few days, the couple will need to go to the General Affairs Department to discuss the rent issue with Eddie. These lots have been expropriated by Congress. This is where the Angus couple feels a little uneasy, because they have had trouble with the Hillman family in the past. A big loss. If Eddie hadn't withdrawn his capital midway and deceived the Angus family into entering the stock market, the Angus family wouldn't be in such difficulty now.

The family businessmen in the city have made a lot of money through the two actions of the Hillman family against the Angus family. In the end, without exception, the Angus family's property ended up with the Hillman family. In the hands of the family.

Finance is like this, if you are not careful you will fall into a pit.

"Personally, I don't want to give the land to Eddie."

Violet said and Avano nodded understandingly, but the couple had no reason to refuse this time. Everything was under the control of the congressmen. After the establishment of 60 factories, it can provide effective and reliable backup support for the orchard plan. , and the managers of the factory are directly appointed by the eight major associations. They are all elite managers from major companies, and the Hillman family is not allowed to get involved in everything in the factory.

Including the fact that the factory cannot be put on the market made the Angus couple feel a little more at ease, but they still felt something was wrong.

"Let's go to the General Affairs Department and have a look in a few days."

As Violet said, Avano picked up the knife again and started cutting vegetables, but at this time both the couple looked a little lonely. It was obviously the Chinese New Year, but neither of the two daughters came back, especially Niya's. question.

Violet would often talk to Nia on the phone and ask about some of Nia's life. She felt a little bad at first, but after hearing some things about Nia from Jean's mouth, she felt a little more at ease, but the two sisters are now The relationship is a bit delicate and we have had many quarrels.

"What are you two doing?"

Alpha walked to the kitchen door, and the couple were instantly startled.

"Don't you know how to go through the main entrance?"

Alpha's face was red and she looked like she had just drunk a lot of wine. She rolled up her sleeves with a smile, walked in, came to her parents and started to help.

"Who's coming?"

"Mr. Jean."

Avano said, Alpha sighed and smiled helplessly.

"Sorry for all these years."

Alpha stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his father and mother, and Violet pouted.

"Hurry up and take a shower. A girl smells like cigarettes and alcohol all day long."

"I have an idea."

Avano and Violet's expressions changed a little.

"Let Niya enter the business department, and I will be responsible for guiding her. No matter what method I use, I will let her pass the exam."

Violet looked a little sad for a moment, but Avano laughed.

"What do you mean, the child doesn't like studying very much, so it's a bit difficult."

Alpha hummed.

"I'll go find her tomorrow."

Alpha thought about this problem and found that it was impossible to change Niya's personality today. However, her strong energy and noisy personality included being as competitive and fond of fighting as herself, so it was best to The solution is to let Niya go to Section 3. Alpha has already told Zijuan in advance. Zijuan and Osman also agreed, saying that they will definitely train Niya well.

And Alpha has also considered that the personalities of Niya and Osman are actually partly similar. They are both overly passionate guys. Although Osman has restrained himself a little now, he still has not changed much. .

"By the way, Mom, I made an appointment with Latis. She should be arriving soon. I'll pick her up."

After saying that, Alpha turned and walked out of the house, just in time to see a helicopter landing on his lawn. The family bodyguards had already passed by, and Alpha ran over quickly and motioned for them to go back and rest.

"It's been a long time since I've been here. It's becoming less and less popular here."

As soon as Latis came over, he threw a cigarette over. After Alpha caught it, the two hugged each other.

"Long time no see, we have to have a drink tonight."

Alpha hummed and gently leaned his head on Latis' shoulder. There were many things Alpha wanted to talk to Latis about tonight. No matter what time it was, Latis was always his best friend.

"Where's your sister?"

Alpha shook his head, Latis smiled and held Alpha's arm, and the two entered the room talking and laughing.

2:29 am

"Thank you for your hard work. This is my temporary salary for tonight. Thank you very much."

A businessman smiled and looked at a group of laughing young people in front of him. They were from the Lightning Construction Company, and there were many mutants among them. The speed of construction was really like lightning. The businessman glanced behind him at the building that was going to open tomorrow. The store has a brand new look, and the decoration was completed in just a few hours.

Niya walked over and took the bulging money bag. She grabbed the money bag and started running. Everyone was stunned for a moment. Olivia suddenly ejected in front of Niya and swept over with her kick. .

"You idiot, where do you want to take the money?"

Niya ducked away with a smile and made a face. A bunch of men and women behind her chased after her. Xiong Dabiao followed slowly. A bunch of people chased Niya with laughter. There was only one place everyone wanted to go. The nearest tavern was supposed to be a party for everyone tonight, but they received an urgent job. After dinner in the afternoon, they came over to help decorate the restaurant. They were busy until the early morning, and everyone was already hungry.

"Boss, bring us food, at least food for 100 people, and wine, until all the money is spent."

The owner of the tavern, which had few guests for a while, sighed.

"You are a starving ghost, Niya."

At this time, people behind him ran in one after another, everyone began to find their own seats, and the tavern began to become lively.

The noise made some drinkers wake up. They often saw these guys and thought they were quite happy. Xiong Dabiao walked to the side of the bar, picked up a wine barrel, opened it first, and then drank by himself. Standing up, the others clapped their hands and cheered. Olivia lit a cigarette. Just as she was about to put the cigarette back, Niya grabbed it and stuffed it into her trouser pocket.

"You have to buy it yourself, asshole."

For Niya and others, the lively night has just begun. Because of this urgent decoration work, Niya and the others just ate a little something in the afternoon and started working.

At this time, opposite the tavern, in another restaurant and bar that was still open, several men were harassing a beautiful woman wearing black tight leather pants and a red vest. The woman had long hair draped over her shoulders. There was a hint of sadness on her seductive features.

"Beauty, do you want to have a drink together?"

The woman stood up, snorted coldly, and shook her head, but the men still sat down. At this time, a man just put a hand over her, and before he could hold the woman's shoulders, several men looked at her. I saw a group of people wearing coats passing by the table, and they smelled something. I couldn't explain the smell. It seemed like some kind of cheap shower gel, a little sour.

"Small"

The moment the man turned his head, the beautiful woman who was sitting at the table had already stood up and walked to the bar. After the woman paid, she stared sharply at the guys who had just walked out. Ling Hong's drunkenness disappeared in an instant. .

"Miss, what's wrong?"

"If you continue to harass me, I won't be polite."

A ID card of a member of the Board of Directors of Section 3 was displayed. For a moment, everyone in the tavern looked over in surprise, and several men behind Ling Hong also turned around and ran away without looking back.

Several people from Section 5 at a table came over in a hurry, saluted and bowed.

"Keep an eye on the men who just left, and urgently mobilize 300 people."

Ling Hong said that she directly used the director's authority to mobilize the staff in the area. Ling Hong immediately called up the nearby surveillance cameras and quickly found a few people. She rushed out of the tavern and was instantly trapped. In the invisible state, he quickly followed a group of people. These guys were not from the city. The smell on their bodies would never be forgotten by Ling Hong for the rest of his life. It was a smell unique to the people in the barrier area.

Soon Ling Hong followed a few suspicious-looking people. They were standing on the street. There were 11 people in total, divided into several groups in twos and threes. They did not go far, but kept staring at the tavern opposite. .

A faint blush floated by, and Ling Hong used her far vision, and soon saw that the people in the tavern were just a group of workers, but the 11 people in front of her were probably criminals who had sneaked back from the barrier area.

Ling Hong observed silently not far away from a few people. With their abilities, they could not detect her.

There were some more people from Section 5 on the street. They walked directly towards these people and began to interrogate them. All 11 people took out their identity certificates. Ling Hong took advantage of the gap and entered the alley directly, turned on the light and shadow screen, and watched. After a while, the identity certificates of the 11 people were all the original paper ones. Soon Ling Hong directly sent the identity investigation authority to Section 6. It only took a few minutes to find out whether they were included in the current citizenship system. information.

However, Ling Hong felt that she was too suspicious, but soon Ling Hong decided to continue following them, just in case. She went out to drink alone tonight again, and had not been back to Section 3 for a long time. Osman He Zijuan said nothing.

3:44 am

"The plan failed, Mr. Eddie!"

In an instant, Eddie woke up from his sleep. He sat stunned for more than ten seconds before waking up.

"The plan has been exposed, and even these people coming from the barrier area may be arrested."

Eddie stared at the surveillance screen and soon saw the people from Section 5 on the street. In an instant, Eddie stood up angrily.

"Why did it fail?"

Prometheus, who was floating in the air, directly called up a surveillance video, and soon Eddie saw that it was a female director of Section 3, right where the criminals in the barrier area were.

When this group of people just sneaked back into the city, Eddie had already sent someone to contact them. They only needed to help kidnap one person tonight, and they would get a reward and a good hiding place in the city.

Now Eddie has released information about Brilliant City's Guoyuan Project in other places in the barrier area except the Alata Ula Mountains, causing some criminals who sneaked back into the city to do something.

Although the plan to build factories in the bottom 60 districts was passed, it is currently difficult to implement the plan. Due to the intervention of councilors, the 60 people selected by Eddie were not approved without exception.

If you want to continue to destabilize the Angus family, the only way now is to kidnap Nia Angus. This plan was carried out once a long time ago but failed. After that, countless Prometheus simulation plans were carried out without exception. They couldn't be started due to various reasons, but tonight, this kidnapping plan can be 100% successful.

This group of criminals is not weak. They are all mutants. They have been in the barrier area for three years. Eddie now asks the Hillman family in the barrier area to contact as many of these people scattered nearby as possible. Criminals, give them some food and water, and help them make a plan to sneak into the city. Once they enter the city, there will be someone to contact them.

If you want to carry out the next step of the plan, you must disturb the peace in the city, but for now, it is very difficult.

"Just abandon them."

Eddie said and continued to lie back. Prometheus smiled ferociously, and the light and shadow screens disappeared, and the room fell into darkness again.

3:58 am

"Sir, please come back with us, because there is no proof of your identity in the database."

A section member said, and one of the men still lowered his head and remained silent. At this time, many people from Section 5 came around. Management vehicles drove over one after another, and many people nearby also left. Many people came out to watch and didn't know what was going on.

"We're just here to drink, and we'll check in tomorrow."

A man said hesitantly.

"Sir, according to the Public Security Management Regulations, all citizens are obliged to assist us in the investigation of Section 5. Now I suspect that you are gangsters, so I hope you can go back with us to assist in the investigation."

A squad leader stepped forward and said.

Ling Hong leaned silently next to an electric pole, holding a cigarette in one hand. She stared sharply at the 11 people behind her. They had gathered and seemed to be about to take action.

In Ling Hong's mind, she thought about how to subdue them in an instant. This was to save unnecessary trouble. Many members of Section 5 nearby had already approached. Ling Hong immediately issued instructions to them on her mobile phone to let them leave. farther away.

Ling Hong quickly threw away the cigarette butt. It only took 10 seconds, and she had already calculated the attack method.

Niya in the crowd squinted her eyes and looked at the woman under a street lamp. She always felt like she had seen her before somewhere and she was very familiar. Xiong Dabiao and the others also came out. Everyone realized that something was wrong, because people from the 5th department came over. A lot.

Suddenly, a burst of scarlet particles overflowed. In an instant, the team leader who was standing in front of a man stepped back. A large amount of red particles overflowed. However, the next second, the man who wanted to take action saw a burst of red. The shadow of the person flew out, and the scab on the chest shattered.

The remaining ten people also started to take action, but they only saw a ball of lightning that cut into their side in an instant, and each one flew out. The moment Ling Hong landed, she had already charged towards several guys who were still stunned. .

With a loud bang, a man broke through the wall, his chest was scorched black, and he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. Ling Hong stood in front of the fallen man, and he silently took out a cigarette.

"Take them back and keep them under strict guard."

Ling Hong said, taking out the phone and dialing the number of Section 2. At this time, everyone on the street looked at the scene in front of them in shock. Niya opened her mouth wide and almost suffocated. Xiong Dabiao and the others next to her Duo Ren was the same, with nothing but shock on their faces.

Just a minute later, bursts of incredible sounds broke out, and the people from Section 5 were also explaining to the people around them that these people were criminals who had escaped to the barrier area in the past and were now lurking back.

Sure enough, some weapons were found from them. Ling Hong breathed a sigh of relief. A large number of people from Section 5 began to keep away the people who wanted to watch.

"Sister Ling Hong, isn't this Sister Ling Hong!"

A shout came from the crowd. Ling Hong looked over strangely and saw a woman with short hair and a white vest.

"Niya?"

A few minutes later, in a small square with lights on far away from the street, Niya sat next to Ling Hong with a smile. Xiong Dabiao and a group of people stood watching from a distance. Everyone was interested in the woman in front of them. I was shocked. I couldn't find any words to describe it except how powerful it was. I could kill 11 mutants in an instant, and 5 of them were high-level mutants who could use red particles.

"Why are you here, why are you dressed like this!"

Ling Hong felt very confused about Niya now. She used to go to Alpha's house often and would always see this little girl.

"Sister Ling Hong, can you teach me? I am about to awaken recently and already have alienation genes."

Ling Hong smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Niya, why did your sister allow you?"

As soon as Alpha was mentioned, Niya's originally cheerful expression showed some unspeakable bitterness. Ling Hong did not continue talking, and Niya was also a little familiar and unfamiliar with Ling Hong. In her memory, Ling Hong, who came to her home from time to time, was taciturn. She seldom spoke, and Niya had been in contact with her many times. She always felt that she was a very ordinary person. But at that moment, Niya felt shocked. The amazing scene just now was imprinted in Niya's heart. She The battle was over without even seeing clearly how Ling Hong defeated those guys.

"Sister Ling Hong, I really want to learn from you, can you teach me?"

Seeing Niya's serious look, Ling Hong shook her head.

"I think it's better for you to learn from your sister."

"You are more powerful than my sister."

Ling Hong shook her head.

"Three years before we graduated, Alpha had never shown any strength in battle. In last year's fight, I was no longer able to cause any harm to your sister."

Niya looked at Ling Hong in surprise, but she was still a little suspicious.

"Go back and rest early, Niya. I will tell your sister what happened tonight."

"It's my sister all day long, me."

Niya turned around and ran away angrily. Although Ling Hong wasn't too sure why Niya was here, she could guess the reason. After watching a bunch of people leave, she pressed the number 0005.

"Are you feeling better?"

As soon as the phone was answered, Alpha's drunken voice came, and Ling Hong snorted.

"I just ran into your sister Nia."

After a while, Ling Hong told Alpha the whole story, and Alpha was silent for a while.

"What are you going to do? It's your sister!"

"Well, I understand. I'm sorry, Ling Hong. Would you like to come over? Latis is here too."

After Ling Hong thought for a moment, she shook her head.

"You guys have fun drinking, but I have to remind you Alpha, take some time to spend with your sister."

Ling Hong said and hung up the phone, looked at where Niya left, and smiled helplessly.

"In the future, if there is a chance, I will teach you."
