Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

1 p.m. sharp

Helicopters kept landing and taking off in the northern sky. Under the sky were a large number of members of the administrative department wearing black uniforms. The ruins were being cleared, and corpses were being carried out one after another. This disaster was The most serious man-made disaster since the founding of Bright City.

The number of the dead is constantly being refreshed on the Congress channel, rising at a very fast rate. Congress has announced the cause of the investigation. This accident is due to the 12 sets of mutant genes carried in the bodies of most mutants, which are like time bombs. Based on the many incidents of mutant rampage that occurred in society last year, we came to a conclusion that would frighten most ordinary people.

The 12 sets of mutated genes in the mutant's body will begin to become unstable as the mutant grows older. Such mutations have a cycle, and this cycle is 20 years.

Comprehensive injections of life-span vaccines began in 2205. Based on a bunch of past data, it can be determined that the 12 sets of unstable alien genomes in the mutated people's bodies have begun to mutate.

In recent years, the number of cases of mutants going berserk has been significantly increasing, and today it has reached its peak. There are 3,891 mutants going berserk, almost destroying the entire northern block, and even the headquarters of Section 3 and Section 5. Two districts were also hit hard.

Section 4 has released a lot of data. Currently, some mutants who have shown early symptoms of berserk have been detained and are receiving treatment.

What shocked everyone the most was that Jill, the secretary of Section 5, also died due to the problem of going berserk, as well as many mutants from Section 5 and Section 3. Shocking news was announced one after another.

Sadness has begun to spread from the north. Although Congress has repeatedly emphasized that it reassures ordinary people that a solution has been found and that drugs to stabilize the alienated genomes of mutants will soon be developed, there is a new round of denunciation of mutants. It's already started.

But these denunciations are also mixed with strange voices, because the longevity vaccine was developed under the leadership of the gods. From beginning to end, it was Locke who spoke on behalf of Congress, but the gods never said a word.

“Does God really exist?”

On the side of the street, a man who was walking and watching the news murmured to himself that in this large-scale mutant rampage, more than 10,000 people died. Fortunately, the place where the rampage occurred was in the sparsely populated north. The organized evacuation operation is more timely. Now a large number of mutants and ordinary residents in the north have gathered on the streets near Section 3 and Section 5. Section 3 has begun to set up some temporary resettlement sites for those who have suffered the disaster. People have a place to stay for now.

All walks of life in the city have also begun to get busy. What ordinary people see from this large-scale disaster is a worrying and anxious future, but many businessmen see business opportunities.

Many businessmen have taken the initiative to donate some materials to the residents in the north, and many donated materials have been transported to the north. Even if a large number of mutants are stationed in the north, the population has always been less than 300,000, and now The northern part, which was almost completely destroyed, will inevitably begin to rebuild in the future. A new round of business growth has been sensed by many businessmen. In addition, Angus Construction has been almost destroyed under the impact of this incident. Sexual blow.

Many businessmen know that this is the best opportunity to quickly seize the market. Some businessmen have spontaneously united, skipping the parliamentarians and administrative departments, and are preparing to get good cards in this round of reshuffle.

"The city is out of control!"

Wu Qun lowered his head with a bitter expression. Everyone gathered at Freya's house. Opposite Freya, her belly was bulging. Her third child was about to be born.

The atmosphere in Freya's private living room was extremely solemn. No one said anything. The one who was most upset was probably Wu Qun. The regional economic mobility plan he planned had come to an end.

It is inevitable that the eight major associations will lose control. The impact of the events in the north this time has been too great. Many businessmen in the eight major associations have invested in the north. If the economy wants to grow slowly and steadily, the only way is to divide the industry and divide the entire industry. The industries in the city are divided evenly and closely, so that the economy can grow slowly and the city will be more stable.

At such an important time, such a serious problem happened in the north. Most of the businessmen who invested in the north suffered serious losses. Now the members of the major associations are appeasing those who have invested in the north. Businessmen on the verge of ruin due to disaster.

Businessmen have gathered, hoping that the association can give a clear explanation, but no one knows what to do now.

This group of businessmen who entered the north were introduced under the coordination and detailed investigation of the eight major associations in order to make the city's economic growth more even. Wu Qun's next step is economic mobility within the region. Plans have been prepared.

Once the city's economy begins to be evenly distributed, this plan can effectively control the crazy growth of capital and steadily boost everything in the city, but all this has failed.

Both members of Congress and the executive branch will face unprecedented difficulties in the face of this disaster.

The gods have issued a temporary city meeting, starting at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, to discuss this disaster and finally find an effective solution.

"I'm not going to the meeting tomorrow!"

Wu Qun said with a wry smile, and Freya looked at him with a solemn expression.

"I don't want to go either."

Beckinsale said with a smile. She stood up and walked to the window and lit a cigarette. All walks of life may now be plunged into a new round of reshuffle, and the city's situation will become worse than ever.

The city was finally lifted up, and everything in the city began to become orderly. Many problems would become more and more reasonable if they continued to plan, but now everyone has to watch the city collapse again.

Such a collapse is already obvious. Society will become unstable due to the impact of this disaster, and a new round of economic depression will quickly spread in cities.

"I said it from the beginning! If you can't follow the process of the law, many things will get out of control. Why don't you all listen!"

Pullman said, Lin Xiao shook his head.

"It's useless to say this now. Speaking of Pullman, although we are trying to persuade you, you are the one who chose to compromise in the end."

Pullman was about to speak, but he swallowed the words when they reached his lips, because what Lin Xiao said was the truth. Over the years in the city, the eight people had done a lot of things that went beyond the law in private, and the businessmen and businessmen were all in a secluded manner. People have conducted many behind-the-scenes transactions.

Everyone is lying. This is a very serious problem that all eight people are aware of at this moment. The city is already overwhelmed. It is difficult to see some light, but now this only light has disappeared again.

Obviously, everyone had the enthusiasm to shoulder the responsibility of this city at the beginning and threw themselves into the torrent of power, but unknowingly, everything has begun to deteriorate, and money and power have created piles of lies.

"Maybe Alpha is right."

Beckinsale said with an annoyed smile, and Wang Ying nodded.

"It's too late to say anything now."

Over the years, many things Alpha has done have ended up being peaceful, and they are inseparable from the eight major associations, because everyone wants stability. Only with stable development can the city continue to exist, and Alpha's actions have always undermined stability.

In order to maintain the stability of the city, the eight major associations have always rejected the high-pressure policies of Section 5 over the years. This rejection has begun to create a sense of resistance. In order to maintain stability, the parliamentarian factions are protecting the interests of businessmen, because Only when businessmen make profits can they carry out more business activities and feed more people.

"It's too late to say anything now. We can only wait until tomorrow."

Chris said and Freya stood up.

"No matter what the outcome is, as long as there is something we can do, I will continue."

All seven people looked at Freya. Her expression was sad and her brows were furrowed. Everyone knew that the city would begin to usher in a period of chaos again.

1:18 pm

Located in the banquet hall on the ground floor of the Hillman family, all members of the Hillman family gathered in the banquet hall. Everyone's expressions were joyful. Eddie stood on the stage with a smile.

"I will formally submit an application tomorrow night."

Cheers and applause broke out in an instant. Some people knew that the era of the Hillman family had truly come to the top, while other people on the periphery of the Hillman family knew that the next step was for the Hillman family to make a lot of money. An era of great profit.

Eddie smiled and picked up the wine glass beside him, and everyone stood up with their wine glasses in hand.

"Cheers to the greatness of our Hillman family!"

Eddie looked at the family members with great excitement. The long-standing plan had finally come to fruition. Now the actual controllers of the city were not gods, not the executive branch, and certainly not the councillors.

Just now, Eddie has received letters of intent for cooperation from four large families except the Phoebes family, the Angus family, and the Su family.

The Huosen family, Chen family, Wang family and Jiang family finally realized that the congressmen were unreliable. If they did not take the lead themselves but relied on these congressmen, life and death would be largely in the hands of the other party.

Eddie has responded to the cooperation intention of the four major families, and other families, large and small, have come closer. This incident has a huge impact on the entire city, not only the businessmen of the family, but also the whole city. Some businessmen in the city have already sent applications for cooperation intentions to the Hillman family.

This is what Prometheus has calculated long ago, and has even screened out in advance who to cooperate with to increase the success rate of the Hillman family's huge plan.

"Please have a great time today, for the great future of our Hillman family!"

Eddie was immersed in a wonderful emotion, holding a wine glass and looking at the jubilant family members below, and how everyone was in awe of him. For Eddie, this feeling was the best, the first time He felt such beauty when Eddie killed his father with his own hands and took over the title of patriarch of the Hillman family.

"Please continue to contribute to the Hillman family. The future belongs to our Hillman family."

Eddie said, his eyes swept over Ran Yu and Lanni, mother and son. The two did not look at him. This seemed a bit unharmonious in Eddie's eyes. The mother and son had been acting strangely recently. Every time they went out, , always trying to get rid of the bodyguards, Eddie has issued a grounding order for the mother and son, and they are not allowed to leave Hillman Manor.

Eddie walked through the banquet hall and walked slowly to the main entrance of the mansion. As soon as he walked out of the main entrance, Eddie felt a chill. He looked to the opposite side. Although he didn't see anything, he could feel a sense of hostility. , Eddie walked to the lawn.

It had just rained last night and some parts of the lawn were still wet. After Eddie took a few steps, the bodyguards all around him came over. Soon Eddie arrived at the entrance of the Hillman family manor. Looking at the empty streets, Eddie shook his head with a smile in his eyes.

Eddie knew very well that Alpha was on this street. Alpha came frequently, and the surveillance cameras had taken pictures of it in detail, but she came in invisible every time.

"Can you help Miss Alpha?"

Eddie asked, and a breeze blew by in a daze. Alpha's figure was indeed revealed, and the bodyguards around him seemed a little nervous.

"You did it!"

As soon as he walked over, Alpha said in a low voice, then took out a cigarette, lit it and blew out a puff of smoke at Eddie, who shook his head.

"What Miss Alpha are you referring to!"

Alpha sneered and turned around to walk away.

"I'll find the evidence."

Eddie hummed and shook his head.

"Don't you think that the reason why everything is like this today is not caused by us humans."

Alpha paused and stared sideways at Eddie.

"Miss Alpha, I am not married yet, can you consider it? I have been since a long time"

Alpha walked quickly, her expression looking ferocious due to anger.

Eddie turned around and started walking.

"I'll let you know what true cruelty is!"

Eddie smiled coldly and walked slowly.

The bodyguards behind him seemed relieved after watching Alpha leave.

"Are you ready for the next arrest plan?"

"We are ready to capture Lord Eddie, Nia Angus."

Eddie nodded with satisfaction.

"Once captured, hand them over to the executioner. It's very simple to destroy a person, or in other words, it's very simple to destroy a thing."

Alpha strolled along the long First Avenue, walking slowly towards his home. His mind was filled with everything that happened a few hours ago. Jill was dead.

This kind of thing that had no sense of reality made Alpha feel extremely uncomfortable at this time. Alpha didn't know what else he could do. After returning from the bottom floor in the north, Alpha came to the opposite side of the Hillman family's manor and sat there all the time. Sitting on the bench, thinking about everything.

"What is the most reasonable!"

Alpha had already seen her own manor. She sped up and jumped back, starting to run towards the three-story building where she lived.

"What are you doing here!"

As soon as he stepped into the house, Alpha saw seven gods sitting in the living room of his home. His parents looked very embarrassed. Niya was not at home. She was still at the home of a member of the Angus family on the middle floor.

"Since the Hillman family wants to take on the city's construction, let them do it well."

As soon as Li Chu opened his mouth, Alpha clenched his fists. Alpha knew what the gods wanted to do and handed over the construction of the city to the Hillman family. This was the most unacceptable thing to Alpha.

"You bastards, you clearly know that they did it, obviously"

"Shut up, little girl!"

Tang Rao looked at Alpha with cold eyes.

"We just need the city to enter the next era. As for what the Hillman family has done, you don't have any evidence. Now you only need to select a Secretary of Section 5 from the many directors. We have already drawn up a list of personnel. Well, it’s up to you to choose.”

Jean sat silently on the window edge, just smoking silently. During this period, Jean didn't say a word, because Jean didn't know what to do, but maybe mechanization is the best choice. , we can no longer let humans go on like this.

Nowadays, mechanization technology is very mature, and the disaster caused by the mutants is also an opportunity. The reconstructed north can just be used as a test point for the mechanization era.

Avano's face was ashen, he lowered his head, looking extremely distressed, while Violet kept looking at the gods.

"Even if I know they did it, I still do it."

"That's for sure. Only the Hillman family has the ability to complete the next phase of the city's construction. No matter what they have done, little girl, you don't have any evidence. The collapse of the city now has no impact on mankind as a whole. For any benefit, you must have a clear understanding of this.”

Deguna said and Alpha laughed.

"Is this what you call stability?"

Alpha asked and looked at Jean who was sitting by the window. He was a little different from usual, and Jean's expression became even colder.

"Do you really accept your fate, principal!"

Alpha walked over quickly. At this time, the six gods looked at Jean. Jean exhaled a puff of smoke without nodding or shaking his head.

"maybe!"

Jean once thought about following what Ellie said and giving mankind a bright and warm future, but today Jean's idea changed a little. When he saw the criminals escaping to the barrier area, Jean I feel like the future will get worse and worse.

Those criminals, just like the people in the city, are always repeating the same mistakes, reincarnated, and chained in tragedy forever. They escape to the barrier area, which is both a burden and a threat to the city.

No one is right or wrong. When people face survival problems, they will do whatever it takes. This is the current situation in the city.

"Our Angus family will not hand over the construction contract!"

Alpha turned his head and saw his mother standing up, and Violet looked at the gods with a smile.

"Whether it's ten years or twenty years, since you said there is no evidence to prove that the Hillman family has committed a crime, then our Angus family has not violated the city's laws, so why should we hand over the construction rights?" , and the money that Congress owed our Angus family in the past, why should we take the initiative to give up everything!"

Avano looked at his wife in shock, but he finally stood up and nodded.

"If you adults feel that our Angus family is in the way, you can kill us and my wife right now!"

Alpha clenched his fists and turned around angrily. Gene stretched out his hand to press Alpha's shoulder, but in the end he withdrew his hand. He stood up with a smile.

"You six bastards!"

Jean said as he walked over slowly, and Alpha looked at Jean in surprise.

"Sit down Violet, Avano."

Gene walked up to the somewhat angry couple, pressed their shoulders, and made them sit back on the sofa.

"Just be patient for a while longer!"

Jean said and Deguna sneered.

"I don't care who is right or wrong. The city has developed to this point. If we give up, the people who have sacrificed their blood and lives in this city in the past will never be able to sleep forever!"

Alpha looked at Deguna blankly, and Tang Rao stood up.

"That's it for today. The city must complete construction as soon as possible and then enter the mechanization era."

Gene looked at the gods getting up one by one, watching them leave one by one, and then Gene sat down opposite the Angus couple.

"Sorry, there's nothing I can do this time."

Jean said, and Violet looked at Jean with a sad expression.

"I know Mr. Jean."

Alpha still had her back to Jean, and she loosened her clenched fists. At this time, Alpha turned on the light and shadow screen, and soon an orange document popped up. On it were candidates for secretaries, all of whom she was familiar with. classmates.

"I have the right to decide who will be the secretary of Section 5 in the future, right Uncle Gene!"

Alpha said, Gene nodded, and soon Alpha started to log in the secretary's identity information. In less than a minute, Gene saw a flash of orange light. He looked at the secretary appointed by Section Chief Alpha in Section 5 with some surprise. Tamai Lou.

Gene immediately laughed. He turned around and looked at Alpha. Alpha walked to the window, took out a cigarette and lit it before laughing.

"I don't have time to teach Tamai in the future. Uncle Gene, can you help me!"

Alpha said and turned off the phone. Gene stood up and nodded.

"I see!"

In less than a few minutes, the six gods came back again.

"What exactly do you mean?"

Deguna said immediately as soon as she came in. Alpha looked at the six gods who came back. Now the new Secretary of Section 5 has been announced on the Congress page.

"It's what you said. I can freely decide on the secretary's choice, and the same is true in the internal management regulations of the administrative department. The section chief has the right to appoint anyone qualified for any position within the department, right?"

"This man is too ordinary, little girl, withdraw the order."

Tang Rao said, and immediately held up the light and shadow screen in his hand. On it was some information about Tamai so far. He started working at the age of 16, and was fired after a short two years. After that, he worked in sales, and because of his participation in He was imprisoned for the incident caused by Parastan. After he was released from prison, he was admitted to the administrative department for the third time. He served as a squad leader for many years and was later promoted to the position of regional officer by Alpha. However, due to the incident last month Now in jail, sentenced to 6 months.

"No, little girl, such a man is not capable of handling the affairs of a secretary in Section 5."

Vert said and Alpha shook his head.

"The decision is between me and you."

Alpha said nothing more, and Gene walked over slowly.

"I will teach Tamai little by little."

At this time, the expressions of the six gods were a little solemn, because it was unimaginable that such an important position as secretary could be filled by a person with absolutely no talent.

"It's up to you, work."

"I will take responsibility and do all the work in the 5 subjects."

The six gods said nothing more and turned to leave. Alpha breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you like about him, Alpha!"

Gene asked and Alpha shook his head.

"You have to figure it out for yourself, Uncle Gene. Solve the immediate problem first, and then the Hillman family's problem."

Gene nodded. Recently, Gene was also investigating some things about the Hillman family, but he couldn't find anything at all. This is where Gene felt helpless.

At this time, Angus and his wife stood up, and Violet had decided to issue a statement. Now that the north has been hit hard, it is related to the survival of the entire Angus family.

"Sell all properties except construction."

As soon as Violet finished speaking, Gene looked at the couple in surprise, and Avano stood up and nodded.

"As long as the construction is completed, other industries are a burden to our current situation."

Alpha turned around and walked up the stairs quickly.

Gene jumped out of the window. He wanted to see this man named Tamai right now.

3pm

The hot air seemed to be about to burn. In a shed, Tamai was still carrying the harvested crops. He was in charge of the shed alone and had been working non-stop since the morning.

"Lord Tamai."

At this time, a member of Section 12 ran in, and Tamayi shook his head.

"I'm just an ordinary clerk now, so I don't need to."

The next second, Tamai's eyes widened and his mouth opened in disbelief. At this time, more and more members of Section 12 came in from all around, and everyone was congratulating.

Tamai's expression became even more solemn, because his current identity was the secretary of Section 5, which Tamai could not imagine. For a moment, Tamai's mind went blank, and he lost consciousness.

"Master Tamai, please go outside and rest first. We will help you finish here. You are now the secretary of Section 5."

A squad leader immediately said with a smile, Tamai came back to his senses, and he swallowed.

"what on earth is it?"
