Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Chris looked at Gene in horror. Gene smiled and let go of the four of them. Their faces were solemn at this time.

"You bastards, I wanted to give you some food with good intentions. It's delicacies from our Brilliant City, but you actually held me hostage."

The kidnapped member of Section 10 said angrily. Tamai clenched his fist and then squeezed it loudly.

"Looks like it's better for me to keep an eye on you guys. Don't blame us for being rude if you do it again."

Chrissy nodded.

"I promise it won't happen again."

Tommy also nodded.

"Yeah, I'm just a little scared because we don't know how we're going to be treated."

Gene laughed.

"I won't do anything to you. I just want to ask you to go back. As an advisor, we will definitely establish diplomatic relations with the United States in the future. So it is better to familiarize yourself with the situation of the United States in advance."

Chris looked at Jean, confirming what Jean said.

"Miss, you don't have to look at me like that. What I said usually counts."

Tamai said immediately.

"Don't worry. Lord Jean has already said that he will ensure your safety. You will definitely be able to live well. After all, this Lord is the god of our Brilliant City."

Chris looked at Jean in shock, and Jean said with a smile.

"Since you are still wary, it's better to do this."

Jin En walked over, removed their collars, and then said.

"You are responsible for getting them familiar with the operation of the light and shadow equipment, and then you can let them help with the collection."

Chrissy nodded, and the Section 10 personnel who had just been kidnapped sighed.

"Follow me and I'll teach you slowly."

Tamai muttered.

"Lord Jean, it's better to be careful about them."

Gene said with a smile and lit a cigarette.

"It's not necessary. After what happened this time, they shouldn't mess around."

Gene then returned to the control room in the warehouse below and continued to look at the resource processing on the light and shadow screen, as well as some compression values.

After a while, it was around 9 o'clock in the evening, and everyone gathered tiredly in the restaurant to prepare for dinner.

"It seems that we have to speed up the progress tomorrow, and we have to go and help. Otherwise, if this continues, I don't know how many days it will be delayed."

Tang Rao said and Gene nodded.

"Leave one of me alone tomorrow, and you three will go out to help."

Tang Rao looked at the four people who were already chatting with people from Section 10 and still felt uneasy.

"Is this really okay?"

Jean nodded.

"It's no problem. They are not too bad people. As long as we get along slowly, there won't be any big problem. Just take your time."

After Gene finished speaking, he stood up, and Tang Rao rested his chin on his hands.

"You are planning to say goodbye to Tasia."

Gene nodded and then left the cafeteria. After a while, Gene came to Tasia's ward. She looked haggard and still looked weak. After Gene walked over, Tasia stood up.

"Mr. Jean, you are here."

Jean nodded and helped Tasia sit up straight.

"If I feel better, I really want to go with you."

Gene smiled and shook his head.

"There will be no benefit in following me. You can go to Brilliant City now to see what the city is like when humans still exist, and then learn some knowledge and integrate into the society of Brilliant City as soon as possible."

Tasia lowered her head, looking a little sad. She really hoped to spend more time with Jean. Everything in the past was too hasty. From the time Tasia met Jean, the world in front of her became different. color.

Jean saw Tasia's thoughts and then said.

"Your physical condition is very bad now. Your body needs to rest for a while to recover. Although the medical conditions on the flying bed are good, if you are in a bad mood, your recovery will be very slow."

Tasia nodded. She was still a little reluctant to leave Jean. After all, the first person she thought of when she woke up was Jean, the man who had helped her through the most difficult years of her life.

"Okay, Tasia, take a good rest. You may have to continue the surgery in a few days. Your body is still very weak."

Tasia nodded and looked at Jean after lying down and asked.

"When will you come back, Mr. Jean?"

Gene avoided Tasia's gaze and smiled.

"It may take me a little longer. After all, I have to understand everything about the United States."

Tasia said nothing more, she nodded, and Gene smiled and left after Tasia fell asleep.

When they returned to the control room, Gu Yi was still watching, and Gene said with a smile.

"You guys go down, I'll just watch from here."

Gu Yi hummed.

"We plan to start working all night. After all, the progress has fallen too far. If we don't go back early, there may be some problems in Bright City. After all, resource supply is a big problem."

Jean nodded, and Gu Yi looked at Jean's satisfied face and then asked.

"Tell me honestly, Gene, are you really not planning to return to Brilliant City?"

Gene lit a cigarette, thought for a while and nodded.

"I hope you don't mention this to anyone else."

Gu Yi hummed, feeling a little depressed. They had been working together for more than 200 years, Jean said with a smile.

"It's not that I won't go back. I won't do anything in Brilliant City. I won't make any decisions. Everything will be left to the people of Brilliant City."

Gu Yi nodded.

"That's it for now, Jean, you have to come back around the same time."

Gene nodded, Gu Yi stretched out his hand, and the two held it.

"Don't worry, I promise you."

Gu Yi then left, and he quickly came to the warehouse below. Witte and Tang Rao were already making preparations. The three of them planned to collect as many crystals as possible and process them slowly tomorrow.

"What did Gene say?"

Tang Rao asked, Gu Yi hummed and said.

"He has promised me that he will come back after a while."

Tang Rao sighed, and several people began to control the robot seriously to start collecting.

Time passed by, and when many people from Section 10 got up, they found that a large number of crystals had been piled up in the warehouse, and many robots were damaged. Gene also came down, and started alone in the warehouse. Handling spar.

"You four, watch us carefully. It's very simple."

Tamai brought the four people over, and then the four people watched carefully how they operated the robot to collect crystals. Now the four people were full of expectations for Brilliant City. After talking to these people from Section 10, they also put down their guard. .

Shakira started to help Jean in the warehouse, and everyone was busy working.

"We will be on our way after the collection is completed. When you moved here, it may be because you have some kind of signal that makes the monsters not want to get close to you, so you can cross the ocean safely."

Shakira nodded.

"But I don't know what I'd do on my own."

Gene said with a smile.

"It should be quick if we two get there. We can just take the aircraft. Even if it falls into the sea, I can still swim over."

Shakira laughed.

"Jean, you must be very popular in human society."

Gene said with a smile.

"Many people are afraid of me and even hate me."

Now the speed has been completely improved, and the collection can be completed in up to three days. During the previous collection, because many of the collection places were relatively steep and the terrain was very uneven, but today, the collection process is much smoother.

Many areas have been smoothed out, and the robots are now more efficient.

"Hopefully this journey will be smoother."

Gene said with a smile.

Shakira nodded.

"Of course, as long as we sneak in, many cities on the seaside are relatively chaotic, and we won't be discovered."

Jean hummed, and then the two chatted while working, and Shakira talked more about the United States.

Four days later.

Just after 12 o'clock in the afternoon, people in Section 10 held their wine glasses high. The collection had been completed and the energy had been filled. They could finally return to the Brilliant City. If everything went well, they could return to Brilliant City in half a month at most.

However, there is another thing today. Gene and Shakira will leave. Many people hold up their glasses to say goodbye to them, Chris reminded them.

"Mr. Jean, when you arrive in the United States, as long as you don't cause any trouble, no one will care about you, because there are many slums in many cities by the sea, and no one will care who belongs to this place. They only care about money."

After Chris finished speaking, he handed something like a pen to Gene.

"We have taken out all the belongings we currently have. There is a total of 25,000D, which is already a lot of money."

Gene said thank you. Of course he knew that in the past, the currency of the United States was the most valuable currency on the planet and was the number one currency in the world.

Chris taught Jean how to use this absolutely encrypted electronic currency, which is the currency circulating in the United States. The pen-shaped currency storage is just a carrier. As long as you remember the currency code of the electronic currency, you can basically go anywhere. Get the money.

"The reason why we do not adopt a real-name system and tie currency to individuals is because there are many things, especially private matters, that need to be traded."

Chris said, Gene nodded in understanding, and then wrote down the currency code.

Gene raised his glass and said loudly.

"Thank you for your hard work on this journey. And my investigative journey is about to begin. This glass of wine is my farewell drink to everyone."

Gene drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and continuous blessings came from the sound.

After a while, Jean and Shakira came to a small aircraft. This spherical aircraft was very fast and carried enough energy to make Jean and the others go back and forth several times.

"When you get to the place, remember to hide the aircraft. After all, this is the technological crystallization of our Brilliant City."

Tang Rao reminded.

"Don't worry."

Gene smiled and entered the aircraft with Shakira. Then Gene began to wave and say goodbye to everyone, with a relaxed smile on his face.

"You seem very happy Mr. Jean."

Shakira said and Gene nodded.

"Yes, this kind of thing is indeed worthy of happiness. Most importantly, I am looking forward to reaching that distant country."

After Gene finished speaking, he started the aircraft. With a burst of bright white aperture, the aircraft slowly rose into the sky. There were people waving below. Jean smiled and nodded, and then started the aircraft. The aircraft flew towards the direction very fast with a bright white aperture. In the dark night sky in the distance, it quickly turned into a wide spot and gradually disappeared.

"Let's prepare to return!"

Tang Rao said, and everyone started to enter the cabin. Gu Yi looked back worriedly. The current situation is really hard to say. I don't know when Jean will come back.

After a while, the spacecraft began to glow with blue light and start up, but this time the start up was much slower than before, and it required more energy. The energy consumption was 260% higher than before because the materials were too heavy.

"Everyone should cheer up. The most difficult time is when we return home. We must not relax."

Tang Rao shouted that Gu Yi and Witte had already decided that they would not go to the Kangaroo Country until the spacecraft returned to land.

"I'll leave the inside to you, and we'll go out to protect it."

After Gu Yi finished speaking, he and Witte turned into particles and disappeared inside the spacecraft. Tang Rao looked at the live animals appearing on the light and shadow screen, and the monsters from under the sea started to stir again.

It's around 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Gene was smoking a cigarette and looking at the endless dark sea in front of him. The aircraft was going smoothly so far and had flown more than 1,000 kilometers.

Jean did not skimp on energy consumption. They would arrive in the United States in a few hours, and Shakira was still talking about some things in the United States.

In the past few days, Jean also learned some things about the United States from the mouths of those four people. This country still sounds like it has not changed much from the past.

Poverty is always accompanied by blood and death. Only wealthy big cities have good public security, beautiful environment, and clean and tidy cities.

"That's how this country has been before."

Jean said, Shakira was a little confused.

"If they have been like this before, they are indeed a cancer on human society."

Gene laughed and said.

"Yes, this country always uses various heinous methods to force other countries to bow their heads."

Shakira's eyes were full of anger, and Gene smiled.

"If necessary, I will help you rescue your compatriots."

Shakira was a little surprised, Jean said.

"It's just a matter of convenience. After we get there, I'll go to your Steka society first."

Shakira became confused.

"If we want to successfully rescue your compatriots, we must be fully prepared. The only way for them to be safe is to cross the ocean and head to the opposite continent."

Shakira nodded.

"Indeed, if they return to Steka's country, they will most likely be sent back again. You are really thoughtful Jean."

Gene smiled and nodded.

"We have to, let's keep speeding up, I can't wait!"
