Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

crunch

Accompanied by bursts of mechanical sounds of expansion and contraction, the legs used to hold the fireworks stretched out. The moment they landed on the ground, they did not make a crunching sound as Jean expected. Instead, they appeared to be very soft. Jean He couldn't wait to jump out of the cockpit.

As soon as he got out of the spaceship, Jean felt that the temperature here was neither too high nor too low. It was very strange. Although he was in a cosmic environment, there was even a hint of warmth here.

Jean landed on this colorful ground. The ground was actually soft. This completely broke the common sense in Jean's mind. Jean looked at the areas of different colors on the ground. These colors did not The dividing line is too clear, but the color will become lighter at the dividing line, blending together to form a blend of the two colors.

"Lord Jean, please wait for me!"

Gene grabbed a handful of colored soil on the ground and put it in his hand. It did feel like soil, but it was colored soil. The touch in his hand was not the same as the soil he usually comes into contact with. It was a bit different. Gene squeezed it casually and felt that the soil seemed to have a certain elasticity.

crunch

The fireworks that had stopped opened a large hatch, and three crawler robots came out. One of them was a small cylindrical robot with a panel on its head that had various values ​​on it. Gene saw it in an instant. The air indicators here are almost the same as normal air.

A large robot with multiple rows of tracks, one after another with semicircular transparent covers, is a robot for on-the-spot experiments. There is also a medium-sized robot with many robotic arms, which is equipped with a large number of experimental equipment. Tool's robot, the three robots quickly followed Jean.

Jean did not conduct the experiment immediately. Instead, he lay on the colorful ground and breathed. There was an indescribable natural, fresh, and slightly special smell in the air around him. At this time, there was only a touch of finger. A pink fluorescent floating object the size of a jellyfish flew past Jean's eyes. Jean stretched out his hand and gently held it. Jean immediately felt something strange.

It felt like plastic, but much softer than plastic. Gene smiled with relief. At this moment, he didn't want to conduct any research, because the world in front of him was full of life and had not been seen for many years. .

The three robots did not conduct any tests, because Jean had not given the order yet. Jean leaned on the soft and slightly elastic land. He did not even want to destroy anything here, and in the distance, there was a It seemed to be something like a tree, emitting a faint light, and inside were meridians emitting silver light. These things could be seen clearly.

"Lord Jean, you can start researching now!"

Jean glanced at the robot.

"What is life?"

Gene asked, and AI3 immediately began to explain several concepts of life, but soon Gene laughed. There was no one here, and there was no way to share the joy of discovering new life with anyone.

"Shut up and don't say anything else!"

As Jean said, AI3 shut up. He leaned back and took out a cigarette, but Jean quickly put away the cigarette. He was enjoying this long-lost freshness and being able to discover new life. , which was unimaginable in the past two centuries.

Gene was as excited as a child at this time. Although he didn't know where this place was, the only thing that was certain was that this place was gestating life.

boom

At this moment, Gene heard a loud noise, and as soon as he stood up, he saw that the fireworks opposite were smashed by a huge thing. At first glance, it looked like a stone man, nearly four or five meters tall. The whole body was in dark colors, and Jean had already ejected in an instant.

"Although it is rude to rush into your place rashly, it is also rude for you to smash my spaceship!"

boom

Gene kicked the orangutan-like creature on the head. It flew out and fell to the ground with a loud bang. Then the next second, the creature got up, and the colors all over its body seemed to flow. Gene looked a little weird, but the next second he felt weak fluctuations in the air, and the light was converging towards the dark red head of this creature that could barely be called a head.

"No intelligence?"

Whoosh

With a violent roar, Jean's hand had penetrated into the body of the guy in front of him. With a splash of heat, Jean jumped away in an instant, and the body of the thing in front of him began to collapse, and gradually It was really like a stone, and a lot of colorful looking stones were broken into pieces. Jean walked over and felt the heat waves in the air. This thing was gathering energy just now, but Jean didn't know what would happen. What, so he struck harder. After seeing the things scattered into pieces, Gene smiled helplessly.

"Sorry, come here and start researching."

The three robots came over quickly. The robot on the tool quickly picked up some fragments and placed them in the open cover of the experimental robot. Gene sat on the ground and looked at the dented spacecraft. It can only be repaired later.

At this time, as a series of values ​​appeared on the light and shadow screen, Gene stood up and looked at the light and shadow panel in front of him with incredible eyes.

"Does it really exist? Silicon-based life?"

But Gene's view changed in the next second. This might not be life, because bases were also detected from this kind of thing.

3:21 am

"Lord Tang Rao failed!"

A director of Section 10 said, and everyone at the scene fell silent for a moment. It had been more than three hours since Jean took off, and no images had been transmitted back. After Jean left, the big gap was closed. When they got up, 31 detection aircraft were sent over. Without exception, the robots lost signal contact just after reaching a certain height.

Everyone present was silent. Alpha watched worriedly and took out a cigarette uneasily. Noah held her hand and shook his head.

Several other gods were also thinking of a way at this time. No matter what happened, Jean would never die, but what happened to him? Such a sudden abnormal situation made everyone nervous.

No one knows what happened. The only hole that can communicate is now closed, and signal transmission has been completely blocked.

"Okay, everyone, let's go have a rest!"

Following Deguna's order, many people from Section 10 began to disperse, and Noah looked at Alpha comfortingly and said.

"It's okay. Don't worry about the principal's problems. Alpha, I think you should go back and rest early. There should be a lot of work tomorrow."

Alpha hummed, and Noah jumped off the console.

"I'll take you out."

Noah looked at Alpha next to him from time to time. She should be quite worried at this time, because something unexpected had happened and it was impossible to determine whether Jean had arrived outside the earth.

"There's always a way!"

Alpha sighed as he spoke and took out a cigarette. He recalled that when Jean went out to search for resources, the carrier spaceship came back with a lot of holes. Alpha still remembers it very clearly, but Jean did not. Any changes are still as easy as ever, as if they are traveling to the world outside the barrier. When everyone is repairing the carrier ship, Jean will talk to everyone from time to time about some things he saw during the journey, those things in the cities of mankind in the past appearance, as well as the attacks encountered by some suspected creatures.

"The principal should have told you something before he left, Alpha!"

Noah asked and Alpha nodded.

"I did say something."

At this time, the spiral door had been opened, and Noah wanted to continue walking. Alpha turned around and gave Noah a gentle hug.

"Worry about it and get better on your own. It's okay with me, Noah. When I'm on vacation next week, we can have dinner together."

Noah hummed, and Alpha turned around with a smile and walked into the passage. Noah watched the passage closing little by little. He felt a little irritable. Such unexpected things happened, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.

As soon as she stepped out of Section 10 and returned to the Capitol Square, Alpha looked up at the dark sky. It would be a lie to say that she was not worried. The situation this time was different from the last time. Alpha was in a bad mood at this time, but the next moment she Noticed someone sitting on the steps outside the halls of Congress.

"What's wrong! Is it an accident?"

Alpha walked over, Latis stretched out his hand and put his arm around Alpha's waist. After Alpha sat down, Latis handed him a cigarette.

"How are things in the city?"

"It's basically been handled. You just need to review it in person tomorrow. Some major cases."

Alpha snorted. He was in a bad mood at this time. Two major things happened in one day.

"Let's go have a drink. The store opposite the General Affairs Department should still be open."

Alpha nodded, and the two started walking. Latis was always worried about Alpha. Her heart was actually very fragile, so fragile that it would probably break with the slightest touch.

"Stop thinking about right and wrong, Alpha. Remember when we used to play chess, you would always lose to me."

"Really! In my opinion, I win more."

Latis laughed and nodded.

"It's true that you win more, but after a while I can always beat you once or twice, remember?"

Alpha nodded, and the two of them had already started walking down. The lights in the general affairs department were still on, and everyone was rushing about the big event that happened in the film and television area yesterday.

The two of them did not go directly to the square of the General Affairs Department, but went straight down to the street from the edge of a large row of flower beds on the side.

After a while, the two of them were sitting on the second floor of a pub. Most of the shops outside the general affairs department were still open, and many shops would not even close until after 4 o'clock in the morning.

"Do you have to hide this kind of thing?"

Alpha glanced at the news on the eyeshadow screen. Congress had announced that the fireball that appeared in the sky in the early morning was a test of a small artificial sun in Section 10, in preparation for the orchard project.

Anxiety began to creep up Alpha's cheeks again, and Latis held her hand.

"Relax, although such rhetoric is somewhat inappropriate, it can at least give the people a little confidence."

Alpha snorted coldly.

"Back to the topic just now, why do I always win against you several times every once in a while?"

"You are familiar with some of my current common methods, and you found them."

Latis laughed and started grilling the meat, and she shook her head.

"This is not the whole reason Alpha. I have liked decryption games since I was very young. I just decrypted the path you took at that time and knew what you would take next."

"Just blow it."

Latis laughed.

"The same can be true in cities. You are too passive and make Alpha, because you have been very self-disciplined since you were a child. Usually self-disciplined people have a common problem. They do things step by step. It is true that many things in this world have to be done step by step, but there are also things that do not follow common sense. , recently everyone has been involuntarily alienating you, why do you think it is!"

Alpha smiled bitterly, indeed he felt this way now, very strong and obvious.

"Because you have a strict set of standards for doing things, it doesn't mean that this way of doing things is bad. On the contrary, it can become a benchmark for many people. But sometimes this method can be counterproductive."

"Stop talking and eat."

Alpha said, Latis nodded, and did not want to continue talking, because Alpha knew that she knew everything, and she only needed to click on many words, and Jean's departure had a profound impact on every student of the Academy of God. The students were all the same, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety.

dong dong dong

The door to the room was knocked open by the boss, and she came in with a generous portion of meat and vegetables.

"Boss, let's eat first and then finish."

Before Latis finished speaking, the boss rushed to speak.

"Two adults, this is a gift. On weekdays, Mr. Jean will bring his business people to my store from time to time. You can eat slowly."

Latis smiled. Now that the two of them were hungry and the meat was cooked, Latis said with a smile.

"I remember this store was about to close down because the taste didn't seem to suit people's tastes."

Alpha nodded.

"What on earth is he doing every day?"

4:09 am

Didi didi

With a sharp and harsh sound and a sound of water flowing, Lolita woke up in the culture cabin. She began to struggle. Then as the culture fluid continued to fall, the culture cabin opened, and the clone Lolita was cloned. She stumbled out of the training cabin. She felt very cold, and the memory in her head was confused.

Lolita looked around. She tried her best to walk to a small bed, pulled a blanket from it and covered herself. Her pale body was slightly warmer. She walked towards the room temperature controller step by step. After quickly raising the temperature, I stumbled back to bed.

After a while, Lolita warmed up and stopped shivering. She looked at the shocking scars on her body. She only remembered that she was a clone and an experimental subject. Lolita's other memories felt very confusing. She She kept trembling, but the next second Lolita saw the time on the light and shadow screen, and she stood up in shock.

boom

With a violent sound, the red telekinesis floated directly over, instantly destroying the time recorder next to the training cabin. Lolita still remembered everything here, and also remembered Fry. She walked to a wall wearing a blanket. She pressed the switch, and with a creaking sound, a strong musty smell hit her nostrils. Lolita didn't expect that she had been asleep for so long.

"Why don't you wake me up!"

Lolita stepped up the stairs step by step, and finally came to the exit.

snap

The lights came on, and what Lolita saw was a storage warehouse with a lot of food placed inside. She swallowed, took out some flour from a bag of flour, and stuffed it directly into her mouth. She felt hungry instantly. Lolita was all over her body. She walked quickly and soon came to the corridor on the first floor. With the light in the warehouse, Lolita walked faster and faster. She wanted to go there right away. Ask Frye why he didn't wake him up.

After a while, Lolita came to the door of the dean's room. She angrily pushed open the dean's room with the lights still on. However, Fry was not there inside. Lolita walked to the edge of the desk and looked at the light and shadow screen. I only did a little bit of the patient's medical records for that day.

Then Lolita rummaged through the boxes and found some wine and bread, which she ate with great gulps.

"Fry, you bastard, bastard!"

Lolita drank the remaining half of the bottle of wine in one gulp, and then broke the bottle. After a while, Lolita regained her energy and started looking around. However, Lolita discovered that the hospital was empty. It's not as crowded as before. Many wards are empty, but the number of patients is very small.

No matter where Lolita found Frye, Lolita returned to the dean's room angrily, looking around angrily.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Lolita stood up and stared blankly at Frye in front of her.

"Why don't you wake me up, Fry, and answer me!"

Lolita roared, but at this moment she noticed something was wrong with Frye, because Frye looked expressionless and his eyes were dull, and he walked in step by step.

"What's wrong with you Fry?"

Lolita's voice was softer, but at this time Frye's whole body exuded a frightening aura. After he came over, he suddenly looked at her, and Lolita took a step back in fear.

boom

With the sound of shattering glass, Lolita jumped back and landed firmly on the ground. She quickly rolled to the left. She didn't know why she was so familiar with fighting.

A fierce red light flashed across, and Lolita dodged.

"Want to get rid of me Frye!"

Lolita ripped off the towel she was wrapped in. Under the light, Lolita's body was covered with large and small scars.

"You're useless!"

The next second, Frye had ejected over. In an instant, Lolita suddenly lowered her body, dodged Frye's fist, easily grabbed Frye's arm, and threw him directly away. There was a violent feeling in her chest. Painful, Lolita pressed her chest. Before her body could fully recover, she forcibly used the power of the mutant. Lolita planned to leave here first.

Frye who landed did not fall to the ground, but floated in the air. Lolita looked at Frye in front of her in disbelief. He floated over again, it felt like a ghost.

Lolita turned around and ejected directly into the distance. However, the next second her eyes widened in shock. A black shadow appeared next to her. Lolita immediately began to gather scabs around her body. However, The next second she only felt a surge of heat in her abdomen. Although she had been ejected, a large hole was torn open in her abdomen. Lolita covered her abdomen, and red blood flowed out.

When she looked back again, Frye had fallen to the ground. Lolita seemed to understand something, and she looked around.

"What the hell are you!"

Frye must have been controlled by something just now. Although Lolita was angry and Frye did not wake her up, Lolita knew very well what kind of person Frye was.

The strength began to drain away from Lolita's body bit by bit, and she could no longer move. The gash in her abdomen was very long, and the piercing part was so deep that even her ribs could be seen.

Lolita gasped and kept swallowing. Her breathing began to become difficult. With the flow of blood, Lolita's life disappeared little by little, and her vision began to become blurred.

Lolita fell into drowsiness little by little. She saw Frye lying on the ground opposite, and there was a black mist hovering over Frye's body.

The memory seemed to return to that rainy night. Lolita knew very well why Frye wanted to save herself and take herself out of the research place. Lolita smiled slightly.

"Fry, can you hear me, you bastard!"

Lolita's voice seemed a little weak, and she wanted to get up, but at this time, accompanied by a wisp of black smoke, Lolita stopped moving, and her eyes dimmed little by little.

"What on earth are you thinking about Fry!"

In an endless desert, Frye sat quietly on a cracked stone that was almost smoothed by the wind. He seemed to be deep in thought. A voice kept asking Frye what he was thinking. What.

"I don't know what I'm thinking!"

Frye replied.

"That's enough, I think it might be enough!"

Frye didn't want to think about anything anymore. Maybe after the last incident, Frye stopped thinking about anything, or his thinking had stopped.

"This desert won't go away if you don't think about anything."

The voice reminded again, and Frye shook his head, but at this time a person appeared in the desert in the distance, walking over step by step with no clothes on. Frye's eyes widened and he looked at the woman in front of him.

"Lolita!"

Frye seemed to have realized that he was dreaming, but Lolita in front of him just smiled and said nothing. Frye didn't know why he dreamed of Lolita.

It's just that Fry couldn't say a word at this time. He really wanted to wake up quickly, but no matter how hard he pinched his cheeks, he couldn't wake up.

"What is a clone to you?"

A voice sounded again, and Frye shook his head.

At this time, the surrounding desert changed, and some places began to quickly turn into a blue ocean. Fry looked over in shock. He still couldn't see anything, but he saw dots of crystal clear white light on the sea. .

"This is the last time I will help you Fry. If you still don't walk out of the desert, no one can help you."

The sound disappeared, and Fry slowly opened his eyes. He felt a little tired, but the next second Fry saw Lolita lying beside him. Fry hurriedly got up, ran over and hugged Lolita. .

After checking Lolita's condition, Frye breathed a sigh of relief. He hugged Lolita and started walking. Looking at her body covered with scars, Frye stopped.

"Life will always find its own exit, why should I lock her up!"

Over the years, Frye has hesitated countless times, clearly wanting to revive Lolita, just like in the past, he would have a good chat with Lolita every night in the dead of night, and even hug her. Falling asleep together.

Frye never thought that Lolita was a clone, just a research tool, but he still couldn't let go in his heart. For everything about himself and everything in the past, these things were eroding his heart every day over and over again. Frye knew better than anyone else that everything in the hospital was caused by his difficulty in making any choices time and time again.

"Just accept it!"

Frye smiled slightly, looked at Lolita in his arms, and kissed her forehead gently.

At this time, a glaze-colored light flashed across the sky quickly. Frye looked at this beam of light flying towards the distance with some surprise, and quickly disappeared into the dark night sky.

"The cage is closed, you can't leave this prison!"

In the night sky, a glimmer of morning light was flickering. Ellie floated quietly in the air. There was a black shadow in the distance, and the lower half of this fog-like black shadow had disappeared.

"And you! As the caretaker of this cage!"

Ellie smiled and shook her head.

"I am not the caretaker of the cage. I am just looking at this city and every living and unyielding life on this planet. You may never understand this feeling!"

The black shadow on the opposite side was disappearing little by little, and Ellie looked at the sky.

"Although it's only for a short time, I want to see him, the man I love most!"

The black smoke disappeared little by little. Ellie glanced at the place where the smoke disappeared, smiled, put her hands behind her back, and closed her eyes. The next second, Ellie was already standing behind Gene.

"Busy man! How's your research going?"

Jean swallowed in confusion, and the cigarette in his hand was about to fall, but at this moment a small white hand held the cigarette. Jean did not turn his head. His whole body began to tremble, and the cigarette was held by a hand. Put it back in his mouth.

"I've obviously said that I don't want to destroy everything here. Look at the mess you made in my back garden. Now I'm going to punish you to repair everything here!"

A playful and familiar voice sounded behind Gene. Gene trembled and exhaled a puff of smoke. He didn't know what was going on at this moment.

"Hurry up, look at what you've done here."

Gene hummed and turned around little by little. The next second he felt a soft touch and an extremely bright smile right in front of him.

"It's been almost 70 years, Gene!"
