Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

5:20 am

Le Xiao was awakened by the sound of the alarm clock. She struggled to get up. Although she wanted to sleep for another ten minutes, she finally gritted her teeth and rushed to the refrigerator, took out a mustard-flavored popsicle, and took several bites of it. Lexiao woke up completely with a stinging pain in her nose.

After she arrived in the room last night, she suddenly thought something was wrong, so she had no choice but to ask Wu Lei to get some for him. Wu Lei was not quick and got a box in less than 20 minutes.

Le Xiao was afraid that she would not be able to get up in the morning, so she had to resort to this method. Before, Le Xiao felt that her body might not be able to hold on anymore, but now she seems to have adapted to it, and there is no problem at all. She sleeps four hours a day. The day goes by with a nap now and then.

After washing up, Le Xiao saw that it was only 5:31. There was still some time, but her stomach was burning. Le Xiao went directly to the cafeteria of the General Affairs Department, asked for a bottle of warm milk, and planned to go to the training ground behind. A few laps to get some exercise.

As soon as she arrived at the training ground, Le Xiao was shocked. Many members of the General Affairs Department had already completed their daily training. Le Xiao stood aside, not knowing what to do. Finally, she started running around a circular track. got up.

After running for a while, Le Xiao laughed happily. This feeling reminded Le Xiao of her college days. They had to exercise every morning. After all, in the journalism industry, speed determines everything. Le Xiao's physical fitness is among the best in the class. She is only better than others in physical fitness.

After entering the society, Le Xiao also relied on her physical strength to catch a lot of good news. However, during that period a while ago, Le Xiao felt very tired and often felt dizzy. This was caused by long-term consumption of toxic food. of.

After running two laps, Le Xiao continued to run easily. Recalling that in order not to be late, she ran so short a distance from Jean's apartment to the General Affairs Department that she was out of breath. Le Xiao doesn't know how to do it now. Something like this happened.

It's just that ordinary people are ordinary people. Many of the staff exercising nearby have already completed ten laps quickly, and they don't seem to be out of breath. Le Xiao can run eight laps without any problem, but she won't be able to do any more.

When she ran the sixth lap, Le Xiao felt a little tired. She stopped and saw that it was almost 6 o'clock. Her stomach was growling with hunger, so she went directly to the cafeteria. Many department staff looked at Le Xiao strangely. Xiao.

Because how could a secretary-level person do this kind of basic exercise? Someone soon said that they should come to see the basic exercise of the department members. Before Le Xiao came, many people were lazy, but once Le Xiao came , everyone became extremely serious.

From the food table, Le Xiao took a large elbow, a bowl of noodles, three fried eggs and some pickles, filling a large plate.

"Eating that much in the morning will raise your cholesterol very quickly."

Wu Lei only made a bowl of noodles with some tenderloin fried pork crisps on it.

"This is necessary energy every day. You know, I am so hungry that my chest touches my back as soon as 11 o'clock every day."

Wu Lei opened a light and shadow screen and had captured six parasites so far. Le Xiao gnawed on his elbow, glanced at it, and licked the sauce on his lips.

"The harvest is good."

Wu Lei sighed.

"That's not bad. There are so many missing people. If there are more and more parasites, the whole city will fall into a huge panic."

Le Xiao nodded, and Wu Lei said something more. Just after finishing half a bowl of noodles, Le Xiao had already chewed an elbow, eaten three eggs, and laid down a lot of noodles.

As soon as he saw Le Xiao like this, Wu Lei felt very appetizing. Although many staff members felt that Le Xiao had a large appetite and ate very quickly, he still felt very happy when he saw Le Xiao like this every day.

"Don't you want to bring some snacks?"

Wu Lei asked and Le Xiao swallowed the noodles.

"Then how much should I bring? If I eat it, it will be bad for other people to see it."

"You still care about this? Haha."

As Wu Lei said, Le Xiao stuck out her tongue and made a face, stood up with the bowl in hand, and then drank the entire soup in one gulp.

"I'll go up first."

As soon as she arrived at the office prepared by Michelle, Le Xiao felt weak all over as soon as she sat down, and her eyelids began to fight again. She stood up blankly, turned on the light and shadow screen, and looked at the proposals for the event, as well as the information from some businessmen who had jointly organized it. .

These things have been approved at all levels and only need to be signed by Le Xiao before activities in the ten districts can begin.

But now that something like this happened in the city, Le Xiao was wondering if it would be a few days late, but Le Xiao continued to watch because everyone had been looking forward to this event for a long time.

Le Xiao looked at it seriously. At this time, she looked back at her side with a slightly complicated mood. Since becoming a secretary, Jean had not coached her once, which made Le Xiao feel a little sad.

"You should teach others how to do it, really."

Le Xiao knew that Jean would not come back, at least not in the near future. He had more important tasks. Le Xiao put her hand on her chin and looked at the door.

"If only you could teach me once."

10:39 am

Many people looked at the page in amazement at the information that all the parasites had been found. There were 31 parasites in total, and the other 16 missing people had been confirmed to be dead.

The curfew was lifted directly. Many people originally thought that such a curfew would last for a long time, but they did not expect that it would end in just one night. Everyone was a little confused, but many people thought that it should be the gods who took action. .

In the Public Security Management Office located in District 46 on the middle floor, Qin Dong and Lilian both breathed a sigh of relief. Realizing the seriousness of the situation last night, the seven gods took action. They quickly swept through all the underground waterways and successfully found all the Parasite.

And just half an hour ago, Huashen announced a result. Ordinary plants cannot parasitize humans. Only a special kind of plant can. However, Huashen did not specify what it was.

The crisis was resolved in a short time. Qin Dong and Lillian, who were completely relaxed, planned to have a drink and rest for a few hours. Next, the two of them would fully assist Le Xiao in organizing the ten business departments that were about to be launched at the bottom of the city. activities, as long as they are safe.

Mechanical balls will be used to monitor the entire event. There is no blind spot in the monitoring. If there is any problem, the mechanical ball will immediately notice it.

Section 10 is already urgently manufacturing a batch of mechanical balls that will be put into the event, and will be tested on a small scale before the event officially starts.

Everything seems to be back on track for the time being. The next move of the rioters may be cloning. After careful investigation, many companies that can use the production and sales of cloning-related raw materials have experienced a lack of cloning raw materials. At present, The administrative department is still investigating these matters, and some relevant people have been arrested and confessed.

These raw materials have indeed flowed into the black market, and they started many years ago, so Section 2 now infers that the rioters should have many cloned mutants with limited activity time, but very harmful effects.

According to the investigation of the corpses of cloned mutants who died at the scene by Sections 4 and 10, it can be determined that these cloned mutants have brain control chips implanted in their heads, which can be remotely controlled through unique quantum communication. When the clone dies, the brain control chip is also destroyed, so the location of the rioters cannot be traced from the signal.

The life cycle of these clones will not exceed five days. Many of their DNA are broken and damaged, and as time goes by, their bodies will deteriorate drastically and they will suffer from various diseases.

The activity cycle of these cloned mutants is about five hours, which is already at its peak, but five hours is enough for them to carry out large-scale killings.

As well as the biochemical machine-modified humans in the hands of the enemy, this is what the business department is most worried about at the moment. After all, we don’t know when this group of rioters started producing biochemical machine-modified humans. There are as many human corpses as there are barriers. The district is the best place to get it.

As well as the chaos of some funeral companies in the past, many funeral companies are just intermediary companies. They have qualified corpse processing qualifications, and what they need is to take the finished products to Section 5 for registration and delivery, and then they can do it according to the will of the deceased. or the wishes of the family of the deceased to dispose of the ashes.

Therefore, Mo Xiaolan deduced that some of the raw materials for human cloning were obtained directly from the dead, and that a considerable number of those mechanically biochemically modified humans should be made from the corpses of the dead.

In addition, the city has been undergoing technological upgrading for so many years. Many metal items have been replaced by mimics. The amount of these metal items is very large, many of which are in the barrier area. People in the barrier area still use some metals. type of products, but this quantity is not consistent with the quantity produced by several urban changes.

Although these numerical values ​​cannot directly explain the problem, what is certain is that this group of rioters existed for at least thirty years ago, or even longer, and they knew everything about the city.

“How many more decades do we have left?”

Qin Dong muttered and picked up the wine glass, and Lilian laughed.

"It could be four or five, it could be three or four, who knows."

Qin Dong smiled, took a sip of wine and said.

"This time I think it will only take ten years. I feel hopeful that all the problems left over from the past will be solved with the construction of the ravine area and the barrier area."

Lillian did not have such an optimistic attitude. She always felt that the problem would continue to exist long into the future.

"By the way, Lillian, there's something I have to tell you."

Lilian looked at Qin Dong doubtfully, and Qin Dong said with a smile.

"It's your birthday next month, do you want to celebrate it?"

Lilian put down her wine glass and stood up.

"Let's go to the cafeteria first and then drink slowly. And I never celebrate my birthday."

Qin Dong hummed and followed him with the wine.

11:03 am

On the street in the upper 3rd district, Feite sat quietly on a table and chair outside a shop, looking at the streets with people coming and going. He took a sip of coffee and took out a long columnar deep-seated knife from his chest. Green necklace.

There was liquid in the necklace. Fite smiled. He was going to start his plan. Everyone among the creators basically agreed. The riots in the city must not be allowed to calm down. They must cause trouble to the business department one after another. The continued occurrence of riots will allow them to launch larger-scale attacks on the city.

In just a few days, Fitt has conducted virus experiments based on samples collected from the blood of hemangioma patients. The results were very successful. This virus will quickly infect most hemangioma patients. It takes effect within three weeks, especially in those with underlying hemangioma type 1.

The scale of the effort this time will be huge. Fit is still waiting for the person to take over, although he thought he would need to wait a few more days because the virus is not yet mature. If he wants to have greater lethality, he must The virus must be allowed to mature.

But human beings themselves are huge incubators. Feit was very confident about this. After a while, a woman came over. After Feit took a look, he put down the necklace, picked up the coffee and drank it directly. After the woman came over, he I went to the store and bought a cup of coffee, and then waited for Feit to leave before sitting next to his seat. At this time, Feit had already placed the necklace on the chair. The woman quickly put away the necklace and put it into her purse.

When Fite reappeared, he was already in the subway station. He planned to leave the upper level and return to the lower level, waiting for the opportunity to cross the ravine and continue experiments on other viruses in the barrier area.

After Feite got on the subway, he felt someone looking at him. He didn't pay much attention to it. He just thought about who the person who looked at him three times was.

Over the years, Feit's perception has been very keen. Many times, he has relied on this keen perception to disappear before others noticed his abnormality in advance.

It is very dangerous to continue to stay in the city, because his false identity is likely to be discovered, unlike those organization members with real identities, and now the creators have actually decided to continue to cause chaos.

Everyone will move according to their own design. When all these are added together, the city will be destroyed and everything will start again.

And these members with false identities will leave the city directly after completing their own affairs and go to the barrier area to meet up. The business department is already alert, and they must make all preparations before their identities are revealed.

The subway just arrived at a station, but it stopped. The subway was obviously very full. Feite looked at the personnel of Section 2 and the people in charge of Section 5 outside the subway station in panic.

"Sir, please get out of the car immediately and hold your head in your hands."

Feite was startled and felt that something was not good. The person the business department wanted to arrest was the man who stared at him several times. Feite realized that it was the shadow staring at him, but at this time the man suddenly stood up and shouted.

"I have a bomb on me, send me away immediately, otherwise, I will detonate the bomb."

All sounds disappeared in an instant. Many people who were still waiting for the subway covered their mouths and left the subway station under the guidance of Section 5.

Fit lowered his body and buried his head in his windbreaker, trying to avoid as much contact with the man behind him as possible. He knew that he had fallen into a huge crisis.
