Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Le Xiao lowered his head quietly and stood alone in an observation station, still reading the speech carefully. In 8 minutes, he would go on stage to speak to the whole city on behalf of the Business Department.

Le Xiao no longer has the energy to care about what is happening outside. She only has one thought in her heart, which is to convey her voice to people in the city or in the barrier zone.

At this time, in the Congress Hall, 1,200 congressmen from 120 districts were already sitting respectfully in their seats, and the six gods had also descended on the chairs on the round table.

All the congressmen were watching the speeches of the executive branch on the light and shadow screen. At this moment, Wu Qun finally couldn't help but stood up.

"Six gods, there should be some riots happening everywhere now. If we continue to announce something, I'm afraid."

"It doesn't matter!"

The orange god said, holding his chin in his hands and laughing.

"Paper cannot cover the fire. It's not that people in the city don't know it, it's just that they are unwilling to accept such a cruel truth, and they are still clamoring for the truth. Since the citizens like the truth so much, just show them the truth. After all, the city has been suppressed for a long time. It is time for everyone to wake up. After all, the city is now on the train to the countdown to destruction. Since this is already the case, then we cannot continue to suppress it. If we continue to suppress it, the hot lava will burst out one day and burn everything!"

At this time, many members of Congress had cold sweat on their foreheads, and an unlocking document had been released to them in advance.

Wu Qun stared at the screen with a heavy expression. He had thought about these things many years ago, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly and violently. When the window paper was pierced, what he saw was a purgatory-like scene. , he sat back limply in his position.

The MPs in the hall were silent, no one dared to speak on their own, and the Purple God chuckled.

"It's time for us to recognize the reality. The future policy is either to make the barrier area a granary as planned, or we can only successfully enter the mechanization era after the self-destruction reshuffle and connect to artificial intelligence to manage the city! "

As soon as the Purple God finished speaking, the congressmen all looked over in shock.

Many riots in the city gradually subsided, and the voices gradually began to decrease, because everyone was attracted by another piece of published information.

“The city has more than 31.38 million people, of which only 41% are young adults aged 30 to 90 years old, 12% are aged 80 to 90 years old, only 8% are aged under 20 years old, and 90% are aged 90 to 90 years old. The age group and above account for 38%. In a few years, this elderly group will account for 50%. They will gradually lose their ability to work year by year, and the current food supply in the city can no longer supply newborns. , so a strict birth system has been in place since 20 years ago. Taking this year as an example, the number of newborns was only 32,677, while the number of newborns who died in the barrier area was more than 300,000. 10 times the amount!”

Locke looked seriously at the video recorder in front of him, and the smile on his face had completely disappeared.

"When an aging society arrives, half of the people in the city will lose the ability to work, but only 40% or less of the people in the city can support the entire society. About 12 million people will work day and night to feed 17 million people. People, there is only one final conclusion. The social structure has collapsed and development has stagnated. In the end, machines may completely replace everyone here. Only a few elites can survive. What should we do with the useless people? Export them. Go out? Drive out all the people over a hundred years old, to the barrier area, the dark barrier area, and then what? The famine-stricken people threaten the city again, and what should the city do? Continue to destroy them, and then what? We What’s the future like? Where will it go!”

In a square, people were everywhere looking around. There were many elderly people over a hundred years old in the crowd, silently lowering their heads and saying nothing.

"My grandfather has been unable to work since last year. His health is no longer good and he needs medication to stay alive!"

At this time, a young man in the crowd said, and the people around him started talking quietly.

"My dad, too, is not in good health recently. Although he is still young, he may need to take some time off before he can work."

A girl said with a blushing face, and at this time many gray-haired old people left the crowd.

"I may not be able to retire next year, and my salary has been deducted a lot because of some of my mistakes. The new manager always scolds me for being too old to die."

"Hey, stop talking. It's the same for everyone. If there is no work, we can't do it even if we go to the farm."

boom

Along with a sound of slapping the table, Locke stood up with great momentum on the screen.

"The truth? The truth is that we have to do it in order for the city to continue to survive. Everything our administrative department has done, everyone is questioning our administrative department and the Congress. But dear citizens, what should we do? Do you think we can get what we want? We are also human beings and have families. When the armed forces in the barrier zone threatened the city, we carried out brutal and inhumane purges. As a result, everyone said that we were inhumane? Who is willing to point guns at women and children? ?Aimed at the elderly? Okay, dear citizens, I hope you will think about it carefully. Next, Le Xiao, the secretary of Section 13, will deliver a speech, which will mention some important policies and strategies for our business section in the future. Dear citizens, please think carefully about what the people in the barrier area are, are they bugs, people, or nothing at all, just paving stones for the urban process?"

At this moment when the video screen was interrupted, the light and shadow screens were full of reporters interviewing people waiting to receive food. The city fell into silence again. Today's light was still dazzling and strong, but at this time many people's It's cold inside.

"Girls, it's our turn. Remember to smile. Just smile. You don't have to think about anything else. What you need to think about will be after everything is over today!"

Leona gently pushed the backs of Yincai and Ye Jiao. At this time, a large lift slowly landed. Locke, who walked out of the room, looked at the motionless Michelle and walked away. Go over and grab her.

"It's okay. As a manager, you must clearly understand the relationship between priority and lag. We have almost done the priority things, but our generation may not be able to do anything about the lag things!"

Michelle nodded in agreement, Locke patted her right arm, smiled and slowly boarded the elevator.

Michelle was thinking more about what Gene had said time and time again.

"Children are not guilty, they are the hope of the city!"

At this moment, Michelle somewhat understood what Gene said and the seriousness of the problem. When all this was exposed to the sun, it was so heartbreaking and disturbing, but this was indeed something that the city must not do. If you don't face the problem head-on, even if you avoid it for a while, one day the problem will explode like a mountain and a tsunami.

Michelle also entered the lift.

Inside the lift, there were the general manager and secretary-general of the General Affairs Section, the chiefs of Sections 2, 5, 6 and 9, 12 secretaries, and Le Xiao, secretary of Section 13.

The lift slowly hovered at the edge of the huge platform. Le Xiao stood at the door of the cabin, followed by Michelle and Locke.

"Work hard, everything today is our last chance for reconciliation!"

Locke said and pushed Lexiao. She stepped out of the lift and stood on the platform. She walked slowly to the front of the platform. At this time, all this was actually played on the huge light and shadow screen. Five It can be seen clearly from kilometers away. Accompanied by bursts of buzzing, each round mechanical ball slowly flies into the distant air. Le Xiao's voice will be transmitted to the audience through the loudspeaker on the mechanical ball. In everyone's ears.

Le Xiao stood quietly on the stage. The wind was a bit strong. She held her hat with one hand. Locke and Michelle stood behind Le Xiao. Locke stood on the right side and Michelle stood on the right. left side.

At this time, Mo Xiaolan, Niya, Leona, and Ivy stood on both sides of the stage. Behind them, small stages of different heights slowly rose, and 12 secretaries stood in order. On the small stage, the people in the entire barrier area and the city could clearly see the people on the stage. The secretaries were staring into the distance with smiles on their faces.

"Boss, those girls on the stage are pretty good. How about we just rush up to them and hijack them?"

At a convoy five kilometers away, a thin, monkey-like guy squatted on the hood of the car and said in a joking tone.

"Stop talking nonsense, are you an idiot? Those women on the stage are ruthless, especially the 26-year-old genius secretary, who looks very strong, with confidence and strength in his eyes."

A long-haired man smoking a cigarette said next to him. At this time, an old man sitting on the roof of the car laughed. Many people nearby started to boo, saying which secretary was the most beautiful and some obscene remarks. .

"You brats, the reason why Bright City has been able to survive the internal and external troubles time and time again over the years is inseparable from the powerful business department. Any girl on the stage who you call delicate will start to fight hard. , if you all go together, it will only increase the number of corpses. Secretaries and section chiefs are like human weapons of the executive department. The reason why we have been unable to invade the city for so many years is because the opponent is too strong. I remember that we attacked from the north before, but only one regional officer killed most of us. After a few director officers came over, we had no choice but to run away."

Many young people started making a fuss, clamoring to go to the front to have a look. After all, the secretaries on the stage were all relatively unique beauties.

"Go ahead."

The old man said, and the young long-haired man smiled.

"That guy Xima, the hole in my chest is still aching. I hate that woman so much. If it weren't for you, I would have been dead for 20 years."

The young man said as he opened his chest. The man who was as thin as a monkey was startled. The scar on the man's chest extended from his neck to his abdomen. It was very large, as if it had been cut with a sharp knife.

"Old man, who do you think is the most powerful among the secretaries now?"

"Of course it's that Le Xiao. She's only 26 years old. She's really scary. Geniuses have been emerging in the business department in recent years. Although Le Xiao may not be as good as Michelle next to her, she has already stood out at the age of 26. In the position of secretary, he is probably number one in terms of combat ability, intelligence, and ambition!"

At this time, many cadres nearby nodded.

The long-haired man sighed.

"The business department is going to interview us later. Should we go or not?"

The long-haired man said and the old man nodded.

"Of course, they won't kill us. If we, the forces that maintain a certain degree of stability in the barrier area, perish, the barrier area will be even more chaotic, so they just want to talk to us about the conditions. After they arrive, Please restrain yourself, you can't afford to offend those guys, I don't want us to die in there because of anyone."

Le Xiao's heart was pounding, her face was red, her lips were moving, and she never spoke. She was still adjusting her breathing.

Michelle stared at her sideways and was about to reach out to pat Lexiao when Locke stopped her.

"I'm not right, my dears."

Before Le Xiao could finish her words, a gust of wind blew by, and her hat flew up. Before the hat left her head, the secretaries behind her instantly pressed it down with their own telekinesis, but the force was too much. It was fierce, and so many secretaries used telekinesis. In an instant, Le Xiao felt as if her head was hit halfway by several sledgehammers, but the power immediately stopped. Locke sighed and turned his head with a serious face, The secretaries looked away from each other hastily.

Michelle breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hello everyone, this is the first time we meet. I am Le Xiao, the secretary of Section 13. I am really sorry for keeping you all waiting for so long. At the same time, I am really sorry for making you wait for 3 hours in the cold wind. And to the citizens of the city, thank you for being able to Sit in front of a screen!”

Le Xiao said and bowed deeply.
