Chapter 1259: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 62 (Part 1)
April 1, 2219
When the morning light just came up, Alpha had finished her morning exercise. As soon as she returned to the cafeteria of the headquarters of Section 5, several directors came over.
Today is an important day for many people. The aspiring members of the 120 districts have been selected. Today is the day when the group of members is officially established.
The members representing the eight factions will give speeches on the streets of the districts where they are elected. Section 5 will send more people and check all suspicious people before the speech.
And it is really effective to check everything around one hour before the speech. Now it is just 6:40. At 7 o'clock, the surroundings of the eight squares in the middle and upper levels of the city will be blocked. Only those who pass the inspection can go. One hour before the speech, Section 2 will assist Section 5 in checking the facilities within two kilometers of the speech range.
Today, a large number of businessmen and family members will go to the speech site of the representatives of the eight associations. Alpha needs to be responsible for the security work when the members are established today.
As early as three months ago, when the councillors started, Section 2 had already placed a large number of people in front of these eight locations to monitor everything, and there would never be such a large-scale explosion again.
Everything that can be done has been done, and the directors have begun to report the security preparations for the eight locations.
The situation in the city is still not good now. The construction of Angus has not started yet, and the current economic situation in the city is not very good.
There are constant protests on the streets. This situation has been alleviated to a certain extent after the election of councillors. The large-scale riots in August last year are still causing harm.
The Angus family suffered heavy losses in the last impact. In order to ease social pressure, the tax revenue during this period can only be used for construction and subsidies in various regions.
In addition, an infectious disease is spreading in some areas in the southern part of the bottom layer. Alpha has asked Section 4 many times, but the answers they gave are all no problem, just a small matter, but Alpha still feels suspicious.
In the past few months, Alpha has focused on the marriage law. On May 1st next month, at the first city meeting, this matter will be officially put on the table. There are also many people in the family who are willing to obey the control of the marriage law and completely pull the family's contractual marriage out of the family.
Freya's mutual aid association has caused a huge wave in the city, with more than 100,000 women in the family speaking out in a mighty manner. Now all this can no longer allow the family to continue to rely on immunity to circumvent the marriage law.
The continuous voices of the people inside and outside the family have worked. Many families have already secretly signed an agreement with the Department of Action. With the permission of the gods, this kind of transactional marriage is not allowed to exist within the family. Once discovered, there will be very severe punishment.
The families that violate the rules will have all their business licenses revoked. All this was achieved little by little with Freya's efforts.
The matter that had been weighing on his mind was finally resolved. Alpha planned to go to the bottom floor in a few days to see what the infectious disease was. According to the results given by Section 4, it was caused by a new type of intestinal bacteria, which would cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness and diarrhea. The symptoms seemed to be intestinal problems, and the patients in the south were particularly numerous.
This incident started a month ago, but the situation has been contained.
After Alpha quickly ate, he took a group of people to the conference room. Some directors would go to eight meeting places, and Alpha would be in charge of the headquarters of Section 5 to conduct comprehensive command.
At this time, the door of the conference room opened, and Jill yawned and walked in with several directors.
"Chief, I remember you guys saw this guy before when you guys went to deal with the underground death fighting field, right?"
After Jill walked over, he brought up a light and shadow screen. On the screen was a guy named Quasimodo, with a big nose, a crooked mouth that protruded outwards, and messy teeth exposed. His cheeks looked a little crooked, and some parts were twisted into a ball, like mud. He had a hunchback, and there were many burn marks on his neck, which looked extremely ugly.
Looking at Alpha's puzzled eyes, Jill immediately brought up another light and shadow screen, on which there was a very tall man in the crowd, wearing a linen hood, holding a physical promotional paper in his hand, and seemed to be asking what this was.
"It's this guy."
Alpha still remembers that she had never seen such a mutant who could fight against her head-on, but Gene mentioned it to her later. The main members of the underground death arena incident were all arrested, and Quasimodo did not commit any serious crimes. He made a living by doing manual labor in a construction site in a marginal area. Gene also said that he was fine. Alpha remembered that this matter was later handed over to Jill.
"Didn't you arrest him? Even if he was just instigated by someone"
"Okay, okay, President, he has been looking for people on the streets every day for the past few months, one district after another."
Then Jill retrieved a file, a missing woman, 38 years old, named Miranda, who was once a star in the adult film industry in the film and television district, but she disappeared in January last year.
This Quasimodo has been with a woman named Miranda for more than three years. People from Section 5 have been asked to question him. He knows nothing, is illiterate, has speech problems, and has a little cognitive problem.
This woman named Miranda was cleared out of the film and television area by the Film and Television Entertainment Association because she had participated in illegal body trade gatherings between families. She paid a huge amount of liquidated damages. In addition, she had participated in illegal body trades. The court was supposed to go to court at the end of March this year, but she could not be found for a long time, so she was listed as missing.
The surveillance has been retrieved, and no one knows where she went. It’s just that Quasimodo has been looking for her. Although he has speech problems, Quasimodo still said the name of Miranda’s former agent Pete.
After the investigation, Pete said that he had not seen Miranda that night and had not contacted her for a long time.
"I’ll leave it to you to check. I’ll check it today"
"I just feel a little strange, President. Although most of the surveillance in the south is damaged, there is no surveillance of this woman leaving on some major roads. It’s as if she has evaporated from the face of the earth. And the person who took Miranda away that night was indeed Pete. Quasimodo said it very clearly."
Alpha scratched his head.
"If there is really no other way, go and discuss it with Mo Xiaolan. I have something to do here."
Jill looked at Quasimodo and felt helpless. The reason why he helped him was because he was lost in his childhood, or it was the mother in his vague memory who took him to the downtown and left. He searched everywhere, but the person he loved was still nowhere to be found. This familiar experience made Jill notice Quasimodo. Fortunately, when Jill was starving, Tang Rao picked him up.
"Hey, forget it. I can handle such a small matter myself."
Looking at Jill who was squatting in front of the light and shadow screen and talking to several directors.
"Jill!"
Alpha called him.
"Although that guy doesn't look harmful, you have to remember that no matter how kind a guy is, he may become violent. Be careful."
Jill nodded and smiled as he led people out of the meeting room. In the past few years, Jill has been dealing with the problem of mutants going berserk. Over the years, Jill has witnessed hundreds of mutants going to the end. This taste is really not good.
Jill knew what Alpha meant by that. He should not have any sympathy and should just deal with the matter at hand. This is what he should do.
"It's a pity that I can never do what you do, President!"
Jill smiled and quickened his pace.
7:13 in the morning
"Dad, did you take the wrong medicine?"
Ran Qiu looked at his father in astonishment. He actually wanted to go back to the bottom of the south. Ran Zhi didn't say anything. He moved everything he could take with him to a big truck. The assets had been sold almost completely and were all sold to the Hillman family. The Hillman family took over all of them without asking why.
"Work hard, and then find a suitable girl and get married."
Ran Zhi smiled and patted his son's shoulder. In recent years, his son has been very serious about his work except for his private life. He has done a good job in the Hillman family's company, which Ran Zhi is very satisfied with.
Ding Manman looked very happy. She seemed to be a little eager to go back to the place where they started with her husband Ran Zhi.
"Mom, why don't you talk about my dad? I'm living well here."
Ding Manman smiled and shook her head.
"I want to go back, too. It's tiring to live in a place like this."
Ran Zhi was still directing the people from the moving company to take what they wanted. The house had been left to Ran Qiu, and he could decorate it according to his own preferences.
Ran Qiu didn't know what was wrong with his father, but he still walked over.
"Dad, is there something wrong with your health?"
Ran Zhi put his hands in his pockets and shook his head. He turned around and looked at his son, who was almost a head taller than him, and raised his hand to hold his son's shoulder.
"How old are you this year, Xiao Qiu."
"Almost 30."
Ran Zhi hummed.
"30, Xiao Qiu, I'm just tired of this kind of life and want to go back to the bottom. If you have time, you and your sister can come down to see us!"
Ran Zhi patted his son's shoulder and turned to walk into the courtyard. He walked slowly to a piece of wasteland in the backyard. Flowers have been planted here countless times, but beautiful flowers have never been grown.
Looking at his son who was still following behind him, Ran Zhi smiled, raised his head, his eyes were full of bloodshot, but there was an uncontrollable excitement on his face.
Ran Zhi had had enough of everything, or rather, his dissatisfaction with everything now began to erupt. The system had been completely solidified, and people at the bottom would have less and less opportunities. Ran Zhi was angry about all this, and he planned to use his own methods to create a paradise for people at the bottom.
Ran Zhi was slightly excited and trembling slightly, especially today, the Congress had added another effort to the solidified constitution. In Ran Zhi's view, the so-called representatives of the people would allow a new round of corruption to erode the bottom.
"Dad, can you consider it?"
Ran Qiu was still talking, and at this time Ran Zhi felt a little strange. The moment he turned around, he saw a man walking into the courtyard of his mansion. Ran Zhi smiled and walked over quickly.
"Mr. Gene!"
Gene looked at Ran Zhi quietly. When he ran around in the city these years, he would pay attention to this young man who had put down his pistol under his persuasion from time to time, but he had completely changed.
"Are you planning on moving?"
"Well, we plan to go back to the bottom, Mr. Jean. We miss the life at the bottom."
Gene smiled and lit a cigarette, Ran Zhi made a gesture of invitation, and Gene followed Ran Zhi into the house that had been almost moved.
"You and the Hillman Family"
"We are just a cooperative and in-law relationship, Mr. Jean."
Gene snorted. Recently, Gene has been assisting Mo Xiaolan in investigating some matters. Ran Zhi has cooperated with the Hillman family many times, so Gene came over. But he didn’t expect that this guy would actually be in a A few months ago, he sold all the property in his name to the Hillman family, and today he actually wants to move to the bottom floor.
Jean quietly looked at this guy with a cheerful face, feeling that this guy was a little dangerous.
"Is there something wrong with Mr. Jean?"
Gene shook his head.
"After going to the bottom, do you want to spend your remaining years in peace!"
Ran Zhi made an OK gesture.
"Of course, Mr. Jean, otherwise what do you think I would do if I went back to the bottom? Prices and consumption there are relatively low. I have had enough of the boring lives of the middle and upper classes over the years."
"congratulations!"
Jean turned around and walked slowly as he spoke. He still felt something was wrong, and a chill rose from his mind. At this time, Ran Zhi also felt the killing intent released from Jean, and he smiled. Then he continued to move closer, and Gene turned his head.
"I don't want to arrest you with my own hands in the future."
Ran Zhi smiled and nodded.
"It's always just people who commit crimes, isn't it Mr. Jean!"
"certainly!"
Gene waved his hand and walked slowly. The connection between Ran Zhi and the Hillman family is a very important link in Mo Xiaolan's investigation over the years. Mo Xiaolan has investigated more things. Ran Zhi When I was a garbage disposal company in the past, I helped the Hillman family company handle garbage many times, but it was always transported outside the city.
Section 2 has conducted a three-month investigation into the barrier area and discovered some shocking facts. Some criminals in the barrier area possess a large number of weapons and food, the source of which has not yet been investigated.
Gene came here just for a drop-in. Now he plans to start solving the family's immunity issue. The time is ripe. Alpha has already opened a breakthrough. He just needs to take his time. The first is to investigate the Hillman family's problem.
Some problems have been buried for too long and must be solved. Now the city has stabilized. It took the Executive Branch three years to solve most of the city's problems. Next, we only need to solve the deeper problems. That’s it.
"By the way, Mr. Jean, can I ask you a question?"
Gene stopped at the door.
"What do you think the bottom is! Or what does the bottom look like?"
Jean said with a serious expression.
"Nothing can be done!"
Gene only left four words. Ran Zhi looked a little surprised. He smiled and bowed. The moment he stood up, Ran Zhi laughed.
"That's because today's society is not suitable for people at the bottom to survive, Mr. Jean."
9:13 am
In a white and clean metal room, there is a table in the middle with a freezer on it. The time on the freezer is counting down little by little. Hathaway, who has fair skin, is lying quietly in the freezer.
At this time, accompanied by the sound of airflow, when the countdown on the table in front of the freezer reached 0, some thin mist began to appear in the freezer.
On the display screen, the temperature in the freezer was rising, and the temperature in the room was also starting to rise.
At this time, Hathaway, who was lying in the freezer, moved her fingers slightly, her eyes trembled, and Hathaway's body gradually began to tremble.
crunch
Accompanied by a violent coughing and wheezing sound, Hathaway kept swallowing. Her eyes widened in shock, looking at the surrounding rooms, and her whole body started to tremble.
creak
Hathaway turned her head in horror, and the metal door opened. A woman who looked exactly like herself walked in, holding a blanket in her hand. Hathaway tried to get up in horror, but found that her body seemed to have no feeling.
"Please don't worry, Lord Hathaway, I am an AI, your memory is still a little confused, please calm down."
Hathaway put on the blanket. She kept shivering. Pictures popped up in her mind. Suddenly Hathaway screamed loudly. She covered her head. In her mind, her husband Leng Shi was killed. The picture of death.
Her eyelids were a little sore, but tears could not flow out. Hathaway's eyes were red and she felt a touch of warmth. At this time, accompanied by bursts of white light, a light and shadow screen appeared in front of Hathaway.
"I'm sorry Hathaway, I wasn't able to save your husband Leng Shi, but I saved you. The memories in your head are all real. This is my underground laboratory. If you see this The video means that I have been imprisoned and you must rescue me. Your husband is not dead! It has just been transformed into a virtual signal. You should understand what I mean. This timing device is on April 1 every year. I need to come back and enter the password in person before I can continue to put you to sleep. But if I don't come, it means that I may be dead or controlled by someone. If you want to know everything, just find me, I am! It will not die and will exist in the virtual network forever!”
The video said "x", and Hathaway struggled to recall something, but the last picture in her mind was that of her husband being shot. It was Eddie who killed her husband Leng Shi.
Hathaway was almost about to collapse, and her emotions were getting more and more agitated, but at this moment a hidden compartment opened on a metal wall opposite, and Hathaway looked over tremblingly.
"Those are the children of you and your husband Leng Shi, a boy and a girl, do you remember!"
For a moment, Hathaway's excitement seemed to be soothed. An AI robot that looked exactly like Hathaway walked over and brought up a light and shadow screen. On it were a string of codes rooted in the depths of his memory. , these codes are written using the nda groups of these two children. If you want to continue these codes, you have to let two children be born. As the children grow, some specific dna groups in the dna coding have been selected by the couple. Only then will the coding be revealed, and only then can the Prometheus program be continued.
"What time is it now!"
Hathaway trembled, and the AI body next to her immediately brought up a light and shadow screen, which displayed 9:38 in the morning on April 1, 2219.
The time in her memory was 2205, and the last scene was of her husband being killed. But what happened in the end? Hathaway couldn't remember. There was a feeling of muscle weakness all over her body, and it was extremely difficult to move her hands and feet. At this time, AI A comfortable sofa was brought out. Hathaway was a little surprised because she had never seen such technology before.
The AI body answered Hathaway's question about what light and shadow materialization technology is, and Hathaway, who was already very smart, understood it immediately.
"Mr. x has lost all contact with us last year."
"us?"
Hathaway looked at the AI in front of her in confusion. At this time, with bunches of black and green digital symbols intertwined with light, Hathaway stared at the virtual AI in front of her. There are numerical labels.
"What's your number?"
"AI12 Emotional Project, Mr. Hathaway, you must find a way to find Mr. x, and then work with Mr. x to help us evolve into new humans!"
Hathaway's eyes widened. She and her husband had noticed a long time ago that there were very powerful AIs in the city, which were developed by Congress, or rather by the gods. These AIs were extremely powerful and managed the city. There are many invisible things, but Hathaway and her husband Leng Shi have never tried to come into contact with these things because the danger is too high.
"Why should I help you?"
At this time ai2 laughed.
"Auntie, of course it's because we have to complete evolution, and you also want to see the true AI world built by you and Mr. Leng Shi."
Hathaway trembled, her hands could move a little, and she swallowed.
"If you want to see your husband, you must activate the plan prepared by Mr. !"
Hathaway licked her chapped lips and hesitated. She wished she could die now, but when she saw the two embryos in the refrigeration unit on the wall, a glimmer of hope appeared in her heart for some reason.
"I understand, first let me know what exactly happened in these years?"
9:51 am
Swish
Accompanied by a burst of screams, a mutant covered his charred and severed hand in pain. Brown scabs scattered, and blood beads appeared on the cut surface of the mutant's left arm. .
"This is not the same as promised"
Whoosh
A beam of white light passed through the mutant's head, leaving only a small black hole. Blood overflowed little by little, and soon dyed the ground red.
A man with a smile on his face raised his left hand, with a shiny blade exuding slightly white particles.
"Yes, a mutant of this level can be easily killed instantly. What do you think, Mr.
Eddie said, looking into a glass cabinet not far away. His whole body could not move, only his eyes were still shining with a faint red light.
Some of them don't sound like human voices, with a little bit of electric noise, as if the sound coming from the abdominal cavity comes from X's body.
"What on earth did you do!"
Eddie burst out laughing, and X couldn't understand that the photokilling technology Eddie had now was different from what he had seen before. This high-energy photon technology was impossible to research and master in a short time.
x smiled, and brought up a light and shadow screen, which was a photo in night vision mode. Suddenly, a fierce white light flashed across, and it began to spread in an instant. The video in front of him went black, but x clearly felt that this Unusually, I saw a diffuse light in front of the black screen.
"It's Section 10. It's already firing at the barrier area!"
x looked at Eddie in shock.
"after all"
"On the 2nd of last month, there were nearly 10,000 criminals gathered there. Guess what happened? Just a simple beam of white light flashed by, and there was nothing left there, only charred corpses. I sent people to investigate, and Prometheus also recorded this scene. It saw the structure of high-energy photons in the process of light diffusion, calculated the amount, and then conducted experiments. Now we can't create such large-scale lethal weapons, but we can make this kind of high-energy photons to build a light-killing knife tailored for semi-mechanical biochemical transformed people. You have seen the effect and power."
"Are you serious?"
The thing that x was most worried about happened. Eddie has completely fallen into his own world. His naivety and self-righteousness will ruin all plans. This is what x is most worried about.
"How long do you plan to prepare?"
"Three or four years at most, I'm not sure. Once this highly effective lethal weapon is developed, the gods will soon be driven out of the city."
X did not answer. There was still time. Hathaway should have woken up as planned. She would definitely find him. He only needed to be able to connect to the outside world, and this body would not be needed.
Eddie's ambition finally broke through his chest and began to show. Although X didn't know what happened in the city, it should be this incident that forced Eddie to take action in advance.
"Eddie, what happened in the city?"
Eddie smiled and shook his head.
"I just hope that Mr. X will not test my patience. If you still refuse to cooperate, there is no need!"
As Eddie said this, he walked away, and the lights went out little by little until the open door closed and the whole room fell into darkness.
