Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

April 29, 2223

At 10 o'clock in the morning, light and shadow screens were erected on the street, and many people began to stop and watch.

"Good morning, dear citizens, I am the secretary of the 5th Public Security Management Division, Jill!"

On the screen, Jill looked in front of him with a smile, while many citizens immediately put on expressions of disgust and disgust.

"In response to the recent cases of mutants going berserk, first of all, on behalf of the entire practice department, I would like to apologize to you all!"

After Gil bowed slightly, he said with a relaxed expression.

"Please don't blame the cases caused by individual mutants on all mutants. Our department has issued a series of relevant physical examination rules for mutants, and most mutants will be tested for their body alienation genes in the near future. Through testing, we will definitely investigate effectively and find out the cause.”

In just two weeks, there have been 15 cases of mutants running amok in society. Many people are wondering whether there are problems with the genes of mutants as time goes by, but Congress has always strictly stated that There is no problem. Recently, Jill, the secretary of Section 5, often gives speeches on TV, but basically the same speech is given every day, and many people are tired of hearing it.

"Sir, you are a mutant!"

A mutant stepped into the store. Just as he was about to enter the store, he saw many people looking at him with strange eyes. He grabbed the bar manager by the collar with some anger.

"What the fuck do you mean?"

There were many people taking pictures for a while. The mutant clenched his fists angrily, but finally let go of the manager. He turned and left the store. At this time, everyone felt as if they were safe and breathed a sigh of relief. .

In just two weeks, 15 incidents of mutants going berserk have resulted in 39 deaths, 310 injuries, damage to some street facilities, and the collapse of some shops.

There are more and more criticisms of mutants in society. Many people do not believe in Congress. Many people will stay away from mutants when they travel. Some people are even unwilling to hire mutants because they hire mutants. People may harm their business.

Such a consensus cannot be reached overnight, but is a manifestation of the intensification of conflicts between mutants and ordinary people over a long period of time. Some sociologists have called on everyone not to be hostile to each other. Mutants are not scary, but scary ones. It is the consequences of mutual hostility.

However, no matter what, hostility to mutants has begun to spread throughout the city. For a long time, mutants have had countless conflicts with many ordinary people because of their powerful physical abilities and the ability to use supernatural powers, and they have always suffered. They are ordinary people. This often happens before the law on mutants has been concretely determined. Ordinary people are afraid of mutants.

When the urban environment began to improve and the crime rate decreased, the mutant law had been basically revised, and mutant people began to be restrained by the law. If they fight with ordinary people, no matter what the reason is, the mutants will definitely be punished. Heavy penalties.

However, after the city settled down, mutants took away most people's jobs. Many businessmen only recruited mutants in order to save labor costs more efficiently. Ordinary people's grudges against mutants did not happen in a day or two.

Congress this year introduced regulations that would cut mutant incomes, and for the first time, a majority of the city supported such a move.

"asshole!"

boom

Accompanied by a burst of shattering sounds, the mutant who had just been turned away from a restaurant was refused entry again. He kicked and broke the glass at the entrance of the store. For a while, many people present looked at this in horror. A mutant, and within a few minutes officers from Section 5 patrolling the streets arrived at the scene.

After learning what happened, the mutant was only ordered to pay 30 yuan for the broken glass and 20 yuan for cleaning fees, including a 50 yuan fine for blatant vandalism on the street.

"Sir, if you have something you can't think of, why not come to our business department? We have a lot of places here. Would you like to take you there now?"

The mutant looked at several people from Section 5 persuading him, and felt a little subtle in his heart, but the next second he turned around and left, went directly to a snack shop on the street, and bought some things casually. Then left.

The Business Department did not control this voice, but instead allowed it to go unchecked. For those businesses that refused to allow mutants to enter their stores, they had already violated the Commercial Law. No business may refuse customers entry for any reason such as discrimination or criticism.

An order has been issued within the administrative department, requiring all administrative department members to give priority to persuasion when dealing with incidents involving mutants, and try their best to persuade these mutants to join the administrative department.

More mutants choose to endure and endure, because many mutants are quite rational. Many of them know that this is the method of Xingke, and they want to control themselves within the scope that Xingke can control. But most mutants are unwilling.

10:39 am

Gil had just finished his televised speech. He looked with joy at the specially recruited mutants who had joined Section 5 and were studying in the Acting Section. The only places where mutants recruited by the Acting Section could go were Section 5 and Section 3. Currently, there are 1,398 of them. Mutants are trained in the School of Acting, and after only three months, they can patrol the streets, and then study while working, waiting for the annual Examination of the Acting Department.

The door to the room was knocked open, and Alpha walked in. Gil stood up and pointed at the numbers on the light and shadow screen. Today, more than 30 mutants have registered their information, waiting for review and approval for special recruitment.

"Section Chief, it looks good. I predict that by next year, our 5th Section will have tens of thousands of mutants, so basically there will be no problem in any social conflict cases."

Alpha hummed and sat on the sofa. Jill poured Alpha a cup of tea.

"That's not a good sign Jill!"

Alpha said, and Gil understood what Alpha was going to say.

"Seizing this opportunity to control this dangerous force is our primary goal. Lord Tang Rao has made it clear."

Alpha said yes. This is indeed a good opportunity, but the principle of fairness has been completely destroyed. Originally, Alpha just wanted to rectify the chaotic group of mutants and grade these mutants through a notarized examination, but this motion was proposed. Soon after, it was used by many people, firstly for employment in the city, and secondly to better control the mutant population.

This group, which accounts for less than 1% of the city, has the power to destroy the city. However, they are now experiencing unfair treatment. The examination for grading mutants is still going on, and there are already a large number of mutants. After taking the exam, you will know your corresponding level.

"Section Chief, do you want to have dinner together later?"

Alpha shook his head.

"I'll go home and eat. I've finished the work at hand."

After saying that, Alfa got up. Recently, Alfa always drives the helicopter home to eat. He is no longer in the dormitory at night. Moreover, he has put down some of the work at hand. Instead of completing some work beyond the quota every day, he does it every day. Looking for new problems to solve, the entire 5 subjects are now easier than ever.

Gil could tell that Alpha was starting to change.

"By the way, Gil, have you found the person I asked you to find this morning?"

Jill nodded.

"Of course the section chief has been waiting below for a long time and is now helping with the exam."

Alpha pressed his slightly dizzy head, and Jill was a little surprised, because this was not like the usual Alpha who would forget things.

"Tell him to come up."

Alpha, who originally planned to leave the headquarters and go home early, returned to the section chief's office. After she sat down, she just turned on the light and shadow screen. On it was a dense collection of information about members of the administrative department. Alpha had recently been checking the information of all members of the administrative department during her spare time. , watch them one after another, and for those who are capable, Alpha will record them.

Finally, after searching around, Alpha sensed something strange. The clerk named Tamai, whom Alpha had met several times in the past, had held many positions within Section 5, and had recommended many people to the position. And these People are quite capable.

dong dong dong

"Come in."

"Business Department No. 05025854289, currently the captain of the 21st local team in District 118, Tamai is here to report, Lord Alpha!"

Alpha nodded and motioned for Tamai to sit down. He sat on a chair nearby, looking a little nervous. Alpha smiled and stood up and walked over, handing him a cigarette.

"District 16 currently only has acting regional officers. Are you interested in joining District 16?"

Tamai was a little surprised for a moment. Just as he was about to get up, Alpha pushed him back to the chair.

"Relax, I'm just looking for a quick chat with you."

Tamai became a little embarrassed. Indeed, he was very scared because the secretary asked him to come directly without notifying him of what was going on. Recently, Tamai did get close to some people from gambling establishments in District 118. But Tamai only went out to play with his girlfriend Baleka, and he had good relations with many local people. He felt that maybe because of this, he might be dismissed.

“You’ve promoted a lot of people in recent years and they’ve done a great job in a lot of areas.”

Tamai doesn't know what Alpha wants to do, but the 5 subjects have been loosened a lot recently. Because Alpha has changed, the 5 subjects are not as efficient as before. This is Tamai's most intuitive feeling.

"Why don't you recommend yourself?"

Alpha asked. Tamai thought for a while and then lowered his head and put his hands on his legs into fists.

"I don't have the talent Alpha-sama."

Alpha smiled and nodded. It is true that Tamai has not made any achievements over the years. Even the members of his team are relatively loose and have been punished by their superiors several times.

"Why do you think those people can do good things in the position you put them in?"

Alpha asked and Tamai raised her head.

"For example, this guy named Loyer was originally just an ordinary section officer. You suggested that he serve as a squad leader in a hidden crime area. After he went there, he immediately solved many cases and was quickly promoted. Regional Section Officer, he is still serving as a case consultant for Section Officers in other regions, how do you know that he can solve it in the past?"

Tamai was a little surprised and then spoke.

"Loier used to be in the team and always liked to tell us about those crime movies. When he was on patrol, he liked to observe people on the street, and he would infer some people's daily behaviors and what they read in the textbooks. The inference is a little different, he even knows what each of us wants to eat every day and what we carry with us."

Alpha nodded and transferred another person who is now a regional officer. His name is Luo Yong. Since he went to District 89, the team he led in District 89 has been very efficient in work. Later, Luo Yong was promoted to After becoming a regional section officer, the work efficiency of the entire 89th District is much higher than that of the surrounding districts. Alpha has a strong impression, because there is almost no effort when going to the 89th District to guide the work. The section officers handle things very efficiently and with high accuracy. very high.

"Luo Yong likes to take notes, and he is very chatty. He always works hard on some procedural issues and how to deal with them more efficiently. He always talks to others about how to deal with them more efficiently, but there are not many people at that time. Listen to him, he taught me a lot when I was working as a special section officer."

"how about you?"

Alpha asked again and Tamai shook her head.

"I'm very stupid, Alpha-sama. It was only the third time I was admitted to the Acting Department, and I don't think I have much talent."

"Go to District 16 to serve as a regional section officer. I will hand over at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Tamai's eyes widened in surprise, looking at Alpha in disbelief.

"Lord Alpha, I am like this."

"It's not up to you to decide whether you have talent or not. If you are really not suitable, I will remove you."

As he spoke, Alpha immediately edited Tamai's information and directly promoted him from squad captain to regional officer in District 16. Tamai stood up excitedly and bowed deeply.

"I will definitely manage the security of District 16, Lord Alpha!"

Alpha smiled and nodded.

"Just relax."

With that said, Alpha turned around and started walking, and Tamai followed quickly.

"Lord Alpha, there is something I want to say."

Alpha lit a cigarette and took a drag before nodding.

"Has Mr. Alpha done anything personal recently? Because Mr. Alpha usually arranges some work in advance, but now."

"It will return to its original self after a while, do it well Tamai! Although you have no talent, you can see the strengths in others."

Tamai was a little excited. In everyone's eyes, Tamai was just ordinary. His work was mediocre, he didn't have any outstanding performance, and he was even much inferior to other colleagues.

As soon as Alpha walked to the door of the secretary's office, Gil came out. He saw Tamai opposite and asked.

"Section Chief, Tamai doesn't have much ability. Is it really okay for you to rashly let him go to District 16 as a regional section officer?"

"Am I the section chief or are you the section chief? Gil, have you been a little too talkative recently, which is inconsistent with your past personality?"

Jill laughed and shook her head.

"Don't make trouble, President, I just want to do things well, because Mr. Tang Rao said that if I can work seriously for ten years, he will let me retire. I want to work in a flower shop."

Alpha sighed and patted Jill on the shoulder.

"Don't take what those bastards say seriously, ten years from now it could be the next decade."

Alpha started running quickly, and at this time Tamai also came over and bowed.

"Lord Gill!"

"Come in with me and I will tell you the specific handover process tomorrow. Tamay, I will tell you the truth. You are not capable of managing District 16. I don't know what the section chief likes about you. Anyway, do your best!"

Tamai hummed and followed Gil into the office.

Alpha had already boarded the lift and rushed home as fast as possible because she knew her sister Nia was still waiting for her. In less than 20 minutes, the lift had landed on Angus' lawn. .

"So slow, sister!"

Niya seems to have completed today's exercise, and her skin is still shiny. Her skin has turned a little whiter. With the help of Su Li, the mutant people in Lightning Construction who followed Niya to cause trouble were finally sentenced to the agricultural base. After working for a year and three months, Niya visited everyone. No one blamed Niya. Niya also made an agreement with them that when they came out of the agricultural base, they would start a mutant guild together. We can still gather together, but Niya wants to surprise and impress everyone.

Alpha took off his uniform after leaving the landing gear. Like Nia, he was wearing a black sports vest. Nia was already doing warm-up exercises.

"It's okay, no sister!"

"You can start anytime!"

Niya suddenly jumped over and struck with her fist. Alpha easily jumped back and dodged her sister's fist easily.

"No, Nia!"

The next second Nia was sitting on the ground, looking at a finger raised by Alpha, she pouted.

"You might as well use your fists."

"If you want to keep lying back, you can!"

Niya stood up with a smile.

"For mutants, fighting is not simply punching, kicking, fighting or other fighting techniques, but using the least amount of effort to defeat the opponent in the shortest time. This is different from skillful fighting. Mutants' There is no skill in fighting, because the fighting process will be accompanied by intense physical energy consumption, and controlling the balanced consumption of the body to achieve the maximum effect is what mutants should pursue."

"Anyway, just defeat the opponent, right?"

Alpha closed his eyes and laughed helplessly. Niya jumped up again, but this time Alpha waved his fist. Niya stopped for a moment and did not attack. Instead, she avoided Alpha's fist, but The next second Niya saw that her knees were pushing up.

"sister!"

Niya stopped suddenly but still hit her head on Alpha's knee. She pressed her aching forehead and grinned.

"Sister, why do you know what I want to do?"

"Because I'm your sister."

Niya pouted.

"What exactly is the power of God? Is it possible for me to awaken?"

Alpha shook his head.

"Go on, your movements are too simple and crude. It will consume most of the unnecessary energy. It is easy for your movements to become slow and sluggish due to physical fatigue, and your strength will also be reduced."

Alpha taught Niya everything seriously. Now that her parents have agreed, Alpha has no scruples. She plans to teach her sister well, but Niya's alienated genes are growing too slowly, although she may not be able to reach her own level. level, but as long as you continue to practice, you should be able to reach a certain level.

"Sister, why are you so absent-minded? Did something happen?"

Nia asked, and Alpha stopped and sat on the lawn.

"Niya, what are your plans with your friends?"

Alpha asked, and Nia immediately started talking non-stop. After they finished working at the eastern agricultural base, everyone would form a mutant guild together, and then each would do their own thing, so that they could still be the same as before.

"What are you going to do?"

Alpha asked, and Nia thought for a while and then said.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Anyway, it's hard to find a job now, and it seems that many people are prejudiced against mutants."

Alpha stood up with some emotion and looked into the distance. She originally wanted to do something, but at this juncture, it might be useless to do anything.

"Eat first, take a rest after eating, and then I'll teach you."

11:45 am

In the windy and sandy barrier area, some slow-moving convoys appeared. At this time, accompanied by a burst of gunfire, the marching convoy slowly stopped. From a small town near the Alatan Ula Mountains, many people sprang out. There were few people, and they came closer with weapons in hand.

"Take everything off the car, otherwise you won't be able to survive. All the women will stay."

In a jeep, Agata was sitting in the passenger seat. She lifted her veil, and many people around her laughed. There were a large number of 30 vehicles, several of which were trucks with cargo boxes.

The hijackers didn't know where such a convoy came from, but before the convoy arrived, someone had already come back on a motorcycle to report the news.

"Do it!"

As Agata was speaking, the men in the cars behind him suddenly jumped out of the cars. Gunshots rang out for a moment, but the next second the people who were robbers were frightened, because all the people who rushed out were mutants.

Screams were heard everywhere. Agata lit a cigarette, sat in the car, and watched the one-sided massacre leisurely. In less than a few seconds, hundreds of people who blocked the road and robbed them were dead. The leader of the car immediately spoke.

"Destroy anyone you see."

A large number of mutants appeared in the dilapidated town not far away, and Agata stood up.

"Is this necessary?"

"Of course it's necessary, our whereabouts cannot be exposed."

Agata said nothing more. They were about to go to the Xingke Experimental Base outside the Eastern Guard Station, launch a surprise attack on the experimental base, destroy everything in the experimental base, and then evacuate. The wise man has said that the time is only half an hour at most. If half an hour If the problem cannot be solved within hours, you will be in big trouble.

Everyone also knew that this trip was unsafe. According to intelligence, there were 500 members of Section 3 stationed in the experimental base, and there were more than 50 mutants, including three directors and the former agricultural base manager Ye Chunwang.

More than 400 well-trained mutants were dispatched this time, and the combat plan had been drawn up. Many people were excited, because the acting department was extremely disgusting to many people.

The three directors are all powerful mutants, but they are not so powerful that they are invincible. The 16 bosses and some of their elite mutants will hold these directors back while the other mutants carry out destruction and cleaning.

The wise men have repeatedly promised that when they launch an attack, signal interference equipment will be activated, and the situation in the experimental base will not be transmitted back. The attack is launched late at night, which is safer and more reliable.

The 16 leaders discussed for a long time and finally agreed after seeing the feasibility of the battle plan. The Hillman family also promised that as long as they completed the battle, they would be given more advanced equipment.

The conditions offered were very tempting, so all the leaders decided to go. In recent years, the executive branch has rarely been active in the barrier area, and the leaders also knew this.

Agata stared quietly at the town opposite. The riots had stopped, but many people from the past had not returned yet. She frowned slightly, as if she knew what was going on. After a while, there were waves of women's tragedies. scream.

"Let's go and have a look."

The leaders in the car behind smiled and got out of the car, and Agata glanced at them.

"Idiots, even at this time, there are still so many nonsense in your head."

"What does it matter? Anyway, we still have 10 days to arrive."

Agata closed her eyes. She didn't know what was going on. Every time she saw this kind of thing, she always felt uncomfortable. She was obviously used to it. The reason why she took a long way to go there was so that she would not be discovered. .

However, Agata did not object to this attack. She still remembered the tragic situation in Jizhigrad and the moment when Lao Cheng died. Agata laughed.

"eye for eye."

"Boss, what if you get caught?"

The person driving next to him asked, and Agata laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

"I'll kill you if you get caught."

The few men who were still in the car at this time felt shuddering. Their leader Agata was indeed a ruthless woman. Everyone was afraid of her, but sometimes Agata made them all feel that she was not bad.

"If you want to do it, do it with absolute certainty. Don't think too much. Just kill the people you see in that base. After all, we are all a group of pathetic criminals. Do what you should do as criminals. As long as it’s done, don’t forget that night in Jizhigrad.”

Agata said, taking out a cigarette from her arms, lighting it carefully and exhaling a puff of smoke. She knew very well that no matter what, she would never be able to return to the sun. Since there was no way to return to the sun, Just wallowing in darkness is the most rational and correct choice.
