Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Crunch.

Along with a burst of violent mechanical sound, a group of people looked at the speed that opened in front of them with solemn expressions. In front of them was a mechanical corridor with many seats in it.

"Please do your best after entering and secure your body. If you want to go to the bathroom, please advance. It will take us at least half an hour to reach the underground city. Please enter in an orderly manner."

Many people looked solemn. This was a system that had just been released. Wartime training, one block after another, and people from each block had to go underground to spend half a month.

When this system was first announced, many people were dissatisfied, but soon some people who resisted were taken underground and have not returned for a month. The entire society is now panicked.

Such a society is unimaginable to many people, but many people cannot speak out at all and can only follow the system, because many people have been frightened by this extremely oppressive ruling atmosphere.

The PLC has also become more and more radical, and will directly arrest many resisters. Now the Green Court has closed its doors, and the entire country has fallen into high-pressure rule.

"I do not want to go."

A woman covered her mouth and cried loudly. The claustrophobic environment of the iron box was very uncomfortable. However, she could only sit down obediently and was fixed. Soon, everyone in the community entered the iron box.

There was a creaking sound, and as the door closed, everyone in the iron box fell into silence for a while. Gradually, crying appeared. As the crying became more and more, both men and women were crying. Voice.

Many people who have been there have said that the world below makes people feel hopeless. Everything is so suffocating. You can only work under the light every day, and apart from rest every day, even the simplest entertainment is just a luxury. Because many people are very tired and just want to rest after work.

In the darkness, there was only a weak green breathing light on the wall. They could feel that they were moving at high speed. Uneasiness began to spread in the iron box, and gradually the crying became more and more frequent.

No one expected that they elected a demonic president. They supported everything in the early days of the president, but now no one wants to support this president, and the entire country has been completely controlled.

No one even dares to resist. Today's society is already a completely mechanical society. Everyone is just a screw in this huge national machine.

Because everyone knows that they have no right to choose, and there will never be anything like a presidential election. All departments have become controllers in the hands of the president, and everyone has become a slave to the president.

Dissatisfaction appears in the streets every day, but once someone breaks out, the only thing they face is arrest and being sent to work underground. The people in the iron box don't know where they will be sent.

After a while, half an hour passed. Many people wiped their tears. With a creaking sound, everyone felt that it had stopped. The iron box lit up. The people on the chairs untied their restraints. They began to stand up. Someone's legs They became weak, and some even became incontinent.

As the flow of people moved slowly, everyone soon saw an underground cave. At a glance, there was only the color of metal, and the sound of creaking machinery was everywhere.

Soon someone set up and divided the men and women into different groups after calculation. Some went to the vicinity of the tunnel to dismantle and carry some gravel. Many people saw the Stekas working hard. Work.

Soon some people were brought into the workshop, and some people exclaimed for a while. Everything in the workshop looked extremely familiar, and they were all small material manufacturing machines that they had used before.

"Please work hard, don't whisper to each other, work for one hour, rest for fifteen minutes, and then continue working. After lunch, take a rest for one hour, and then continue working. Everyone can return to the dormitory at 8 p.m. Please work seriously , after all, if there is a war in the future, we will need to go underground at any time."

Soon everyone started to work. They were extremely familiar with all this. Everyone skillfully took out the raw materials and then matched them to start manufacturing supplies.

There was a sound of banging, and people near the tunnel were dismembering some stones and loading them into cars to transport them away. The whole process seemed easy, but after a while, many people felt tired.

Some Stekas are working in the tunnel, reinforcing the tunnel, and many Stekas are also reinforcing the walls of the cave.

Soon Steka cooperated well with the humans, and one of the humans asked.

"Aren't you annoyed by this kind of work?"

A newly fallen Steka shook his head.

"It's useless to bother. Our Majesty has given an order. If we don't do it, we will be executed for treason."

For a while, many people were in disbelief. They could not imagine that these powerful Stekas were also enslaved, and soon some people became dissatisfied.

However, what he faced was that he was pushed to the ground and sent to a small room to prepare for long-term detention and punishment. This situation shocked everyone present.

No one can imagine that they have really lost all their so-called rights when they came underground. No one can imagine that they will reach this point today, but they can only continue to do it.

At this moment, there were sounds of commotion in the factory, and soon a crying woman was brought out. She kept shaking her head.

"I just can't stand it anymore. It's not like this. I will continue to do it. Please."

However, the woman was still sent to the punishment room. Many people were already angry, but a state worker shouted.

"This is all for this country and we have to win the war because if we lose, everyone is going to die."

However, this explanation did not stop people from being angry. Many people acted in anger, dissatisfaction spread, and anger continued to appear.

By noon, more than 30 people had been sent to the punishment house. Many people gathered together and ate some dry food they had made in the morning. Some people kept crying uncontrollably.

"What is this kind of life? Do we work just for the next meal?"

Many people started shouting, but as a few of the loudest people were taken away, everything calmed down.

Not only were there guards on the human side, but the same was true on Steka's side. The people who gradually woke up returned to the production workshop and started working again.

Cars are constantly coming, and materials are being produced. After leaving some of them, they will be transported away when the cars are full.

Those who were locked up in the morning were all released, and their training time would be extended by one day. After they came out, they became much more honest.

On the production line, the panic began to disappear from the numb faces.

At the end of the whole day, everyone was almost collapsed, because they did not want to do such work at all. Although the work was similar to that at home, the working hours here exceeded ten hours.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, after work, many people were too tired to eat and returned to the dormitory early to rest.

The dormitory is a room for 20 people, with five beds. The space available to each person is very small, and it is difficult to even turn over.

The smell of sweat filled the room, and soon the sound of snoring began to spread. Many people lay down and fell asleep quickly.

Some managers gathered together and were eating. They could have entertainment. After eating, they started to order entertainment or play cards.

Some people talked and laughed about the people who came today, talking about their gaffes and miserable conditions. They felt that this was the norm. As managers, they had more authority and food rations.

10 at night.

Tommy sat quietly in the conference room. The entire conference room was silent. No one dared to make a sound. Tommy looked at the current production capacity of the material reserves. Although the overall production capacity had increased a lot, it was still completely insufficient.

"Starting tomorrow, the wartime training period will be extended to one month."

These words were like a blade. In an instant, everyone in the conference room looked at Tommy in disbelief, and Susan stood up and said excitedly.

"Mr. President, we cannot increase the number. Some people have gone crazy because of psychological problems, and some have committed suicide. If this continues, there will be big problems in this country."

Tommy closed his eyes and stood up.

"Miss Susan, I don't want to hear this. I just need to complete the production capacity step by step. As for those who cannot support, I can only feel deeply sorry."

Susan covered her mouth and looked at Tommy in disbelief.

"Miss Susan, please forget everything in the past. From now on, the entire country will officially enter a state of war preparation, and our first expeditionary force will set off."

Everyone present was stunned for a moment, because Tommy had not mentioned the object of the war.

"Please be prepared, the war is about to begin. No matter what era this country was in in the past, it was just false prosperity and false everything. Everything now is real. I only hope that you can continue as always."

After Tommy finished speaking, he stood up, and Susan sat down weakly. She lowered her head and panted violently.

"I know that no one can understand all this, and I also know that everything I do will inevitably cause pain to the entire country that is difficult to heal."

Susan's eyes widened and she looked at Tommy in disbelief.

"But we are about to enter a stage of hell that is more uncomfortable than death. Please remember, if we lose, our country will definitely perish."

After Tommy finished speaking, he turned around and Susan stood up again and shouted.

"Isn't there any other way to solve this problem? Negotiating with our war targets, even if we pay some price, is better than war, Mr. President."

Tommy shook his head.

"It's not others who start the war, it's us!"

Tommy's words shocked everyone present. He took out a cigarette and lit it. At this time, Tommy was like a ruthless machine.

"Some issues cannot be negotiated, because no one can give everything to the other party willingly. I hope you can understand this truth. If someone dares to resist, then"

Tommy flicked the ashes from his cigarette and laughed.

"We can only make him work for a long time. If that doesn't work, then there is no place for him in this country."

Tommy's words have made it very clear, and everything is now a foregone conclusion.

"Are you crazy? Why on earth do you want to bury the whole country with you?"

Susan couldn't bear it anymore, and she ran towards Tommy with great emotion. Tommy turned around with a smile and pulled off his tie, then laughed.

"Ms. Susan, if you are dissatisfied, please go underground and work hard for some days. After all, this world is no longer suitable for human survival."

Susan was stunned, Tommy sighed, and then opened a document from the Science Department.

"Everyone, please see clearly that the most cruel era is coming. In the future, this planet will be depleted and destroyed. It will take up to 10 years. If we want to get out of this predicament, we can only rely on other countries' space technology and life extension technology, including Everything. And if we don’t get these, we will have to work hard in the end, and maybe hundreds of thousands of people can survive.”

Tommy took a step forward and Susan sat down on the ground.

"Our entire country has a population of more than 300 million. So when the planet is in complete crisis in the next ten years, will we abandon 300 million people? Let them fend for themselves? Or flee with at least most of the people? Please You make your choice, and if you continue to disobey, our time will become less and less."

Susan swallowed and looked at the documents from the Science Department. She looked at Tommy with desperate eyes and asked.

"Is this the truth? Or is it fake?"

Tommy nodded.

"No matter how you doubt it, major problems will occur on this planet within ten years. We have no time to negotiate anything, and the other party is the same. They are not saviors, and they are even less likely to save us unconditionally. This is a A war about the future of mankind."

Tommy threw away the cigarette butt angrily, then pulled off his coat. His eyes glanced angrily at the ministers in the office.

"Let me say it one last time, if there is still someone who does not intend to implement my system, then he will disappear forever. This country has no time. If you want to be responsible, please be responsible to more than 300 million citizens!"

The eyes of many people in the conference room softened. Susan wiped her tears. She still couldn't believe the result. Tommy knelt down and pressed Susan's hand and said.

"Although I know it will be cruel, cruelty is also to allow most people to survive. This has been the law of this world from ancient times to the present. If nothing is done, the entire country will turn into a purgatory on earth in the next ten years. !”

Susan nodded tremblingly, because everything in the Ministry of Science's information was true. People with higher education knew this, and the planet was about to end. (End of chapter)
