Chapter 1,265: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 64 (Part 1)
Bursts of roaring sound
A large take-off and landing machine from Section 3 landed in the southern block. In a three-story building with lights on, Ran Zhi sat by the window, watching the chaos outside. Just after 11 o'clock, everyone's mobile phone received a notification of the joint exercise of the Operations Section, hoping that the public would not panic.
Ran Zhi knew very well that there must be something wrong. The actions of the Operations Section were not normal. If it was really an exercise, it should have been notified today.
At noon today, Ran Zhi just came to District 91 in the south of the ground floor. This small building behind the busy street that he had bought a long time ago is now Ran Zhi's new home. His wife Ding Manman also seemed very happy.
Everything in the ground floor made Ran Zhi feel at ease. The discomfort that had always lingered in his body in the past disappeared.
Ran Zhi knew very early that the city was developing too fast and society was always moving forward, but not everyone could adapt to it. Some people have not yet reacted. The times have gone far away and it is difficult to catch up. They can only be abandoned by the times.
This is the soil of the upper, middle and lower classes today. It is difficult for people at the bottom to adapt to the current era. The rapid development has led to people being left behind by the express train of the times. Once left behind, there will be no chance.
The wise man has thought about many problems. During the three years in prison, what is the paradise? For the people at the bottom, what kind of soil is needed to enable them to adapt and survive.
The answer is actually very simple. Just create an era and society that belongs to the bottom. Ran Zhi looked at the light and shadow mobile phone on the table. This thing is indeed much more convenient than the previous mobile phones, but there are many functions that need to be paid, as well as replacement functions, filling mimicry, etc., which make this phone a permanent consumption.
In Ran Zhi's view, this thing is essentially just a remote call device, but now many people have become inseparable from it, and what makes Ran Zhi feel most helpless is that the Internet is full of a lot of spam information. People themselves are a collection of information. After receiving too much spam information, people will slowly be filled up.
Once it is filled, it is finished. Thinking after seeing, hearing, and hearing, and drawing your own ideas are what a human being, a sophisticated machine, should have.
The thinking of the entire city has been solidified by the extremely developed information. Information can be tampered with at will by the information controller. The truth is very important to people and to the entire society, but everything nowadays has been completely controlled.
The bottom layer is not the frequent problems, and the root of the problem is poverty as many people think, but Ran Zhi has gradually understood in the years from the bottom to the upper layer that the root cause is the poor human heart cultivated by the soil of the bottom layer.
Ran Zhi stood up and glanced at the light and shadow mobile phone. This thing is not necessary for him. Looking at the members of the 3rd department who kept walking on the street outside the window, Ran Zhi smiled.
The people on the street were just talking and laughing, looking at all this numbly. They have been filled up and have no ability to think. This is sad for a person, so Ran Zhi wants to create an era belonging to the bottom people, a society that only belongs to the bottom people.
Ran Zhi smiled and looked at everything on the street. He was helpless at this moment. Now he just needed to wait for an opportunity. The wise man knew very well that Eddie would definitely do something, but Eddie overlooked the biggest problem, that there were gods in the city.
The real power is not the power of capital. The power of capital is at best just a bunch of virtual numbers. The real power is the 60% of the population at the bottom. These more than 10 million people are the most powerful.
Although Ran Zhi didn't know what the gods wanted to do, if they wanted to do something, they could only continuously accelerate social development, squeeze out technical talents and continuously send them upwards, and then the people at the bottom would serve as the cornerstone of all this. This is inevitable. This is the case in any society. It's just the weight of the squeeze.
Those who can see clearly are pretending to be confused. They follow the times just so that they can stand on the wave of the times. Those who can't see clearly can only become a speck of dust in the wave of the times and sway with the waves.
Ran Zhi is very grateful for everything he has now. There will be nothing more. Only by returning to his source can he see everything clearly.
"Could it be related to water?"
Ran Zhi looked back at the solid water in a degradation device in the corner of the room, and thought carefully about a series of recent events. When Ran Zhi cleaned up the company under his name, because he had two water supply plants under his control, he found that a month ago, the water plant began to sell solid water, all of which were bought by Section 4.
Thinking of the new virus incident at the bottom of the southern region in the past few months, Ran Zhi laughed. He turned around and closed the curtains, turned around and walked out of the small living room, came to the bedroom, and looked at his wife who was already asleep. He lay down gently in the quilt, hugged his wife and closed his eyes.
11:13 p.m.
On the top floor of the 96th District Security Management Office, a take-off and landing aircraft of the General Affairs Department landed on the roof, and the entire southern network was still blocked.
The Congress has given the latest explanation that because several network link transmission points were damaged, the network was paralyzed on a large scale. At present, the Operations Department was dispatched for drills and to restore the citizen network.
"Sorry, there are things"
"Don't say it anymore, Mr. General Manager!"
Locke sighed, and Freya next to him looked solemn. The two walked out of the small lift directly. Only two people came over. The regional officer who had been waiting for him hurriedly came over to explain the following situation.
"Ask all department members to exit the hall and close the door."
Locke said, and the officer immediately went down. Freya already knew the situation on the way here.
In the past few months, their medical association has been busy with congressmen and a new round of medical rectification that may begin, such as family-style medical workshops, in order to allow more people to participate in the production of pharmaceutical raw materials. Joly can make medical prices more stable and provide more jobs that provide extra money outside of work.
After waiting for a few minutes, the two of them went straight downstairs. Although they both felt sorry for the large-scale poisoning problem that had occurred, if the matter had been solved as soon as possible, such a big problem would not have accumulated.
"I'm really sorry, I"
"Stop talking about it, Mr. Manager. Even if we knew it right away, we might choose the same method as them. Do you think Angus's house could start construction three months ago?"
Locke shook his head.
Soon the two came directly to the hall. At this time, more than 20 members of Congress breathed a sigh of relief. The moment they saw Freya and Locke, the originally tense atmosphere in the hall began to relax.
"Lady Freya, they are very professional."
"There is no need to say anything more. I'm sorry, everyone. I will handle this matter with full authority. Please come over."
Freya had a look of confusion and helplessness on her face as she looked at Li Fu, the client sitting on the ground in a daze, and an indignant man next to her.
"Mr. Li Fu, first of all, I feel sorry for the death of your wife. I'm sorry."
Freya bowed, and Xu Ming suddenly roared. His whole body was shaking, and veins popped out on his forehead. He raised his hand and pointed at Freya.
"You guys"
Xu Ming glanced at the MPs standing around and the fat man opposite who often appeared in TV speeches.
"I know what you are trying to say about young people, but have you considered other people? Have you considered this society?"
Xu Ming beat his chest excitedly.
"I only know how I feel here, I only know how Li Fu feels. If the administrative department had announced earlier that it was poisoning caused by heavy metals, maybe Li Fu's wife might have survived, but they"
Li Fu pointed at Locke Jiahui, who was walking over from the opposite side.
"Don't say anything and just deceive the people. Is this the attitude of you superiors? What does this mean?"
"5 years!"
Locke opened his hand and slapped him.
"What happened this time will be announced in five years. Congress has launched an emergency compensation plan to compensate the victims."
"If money could solve everything, this man wouldn't cry like this, you"
In an instant, C had arrived in front of Xu Ming, and pressed a finger on C's forehead. His voice could no longer come out.
"Please forgive me for using this rough method. This is also unavoidable. After all, this is what this city is like."
Freya looked at Xu Ming quietly, clasping her hands in her pockets and frowning slightly.
"Is personal feelings important, or are personal feelings ignored for the sake of overall rights and interests? We can't do anything, but please believe us, because there is nothing we can do!"
Xu Ming's eyes widened, unable to move or make a sound.
"The water pipeline is 5 meters underground. If we want to start digging, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources. Of course, this is not an excuse or reason for us to evade our responsibilities. Do you still remember the riots last year? Or some previous riots, if you still If you remember, please don’t say anything else!”
Freya turned to look at Li Fu who was lying limp on the ground. C directly used telekinesis to lift Xu Ming and led him back.
When passing Locke, Xu Ming's eyes widened and he glared at Locke, but Locke smiled gently and shook his head.
"Young man, I used to be as impulsive as you, thinking that I should do something for something. When I came back to my senses, I couldn't do anything. Even sitting in this position, it's the same. I can do anything. Less than.”
Xu Ming was taken out directly by C. The moment he closed the door, he felt his eyes go dark. C looked at this guy with disgust, put him on the ground and looked at the regional officer next to him.
"Once he violates any law, he will be arrested directly, do you hear me?"
The regional officer next to him nodded. C took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff. He glanced at Xu Ming who fainted again, and a helpless smile appeared at the corner of C's mouth.
In the past, C would have killed this guy without mercy, but it is different now.
"Mr. Li Fu, in 5 years, on behalf of the entire Congress, I will give an in-depth explanation of this incident and formally and publicly apologize to you! Although it is indeed impossible to make up for your pain, this is the only time we have at present. It can be done.”
Li Fu began to sob again, shaking his head constantly, and Freya walked to the middle of the congressmen next to him.
"I just hope you can answer the reporters' questions properly!"
These councilors were all brought out by Freya. Many of them hold ideals and beliefs and choose to follow Freya, and they have been along the way for many years.
"Lord Freya, is this an order or..."
"Is it a request! This city is undergoing a transition from one era to a new era. In such a transition, various problems have arisen. The city cannot be in chaos. Once in chaos, there will be bloodshed and tears! If you find it unbearable, this is an order! I don't care what method you use, calm down this matter."
While Freya was speaking, the councillors nodded one after another. She turned around and looked at Gary Locke, and the two nodded one after another.
Li Fu was still venting his anger and kept slapping the ground. No one said anything, just quietly watching everything in front of them.
Freya sighed, raised her head and walked to Li Fu's side. She just squatted beside Li Fu, listening to the man telling the story of himself and his wife. Everyone was listening, and no one said anything.
Because everyone knows that no matter how many words or how much money are used, they can't get back this man's wife.
11:31 pm
Alpha gradually sobered up, but was still very drunk. Lattis was holding Alpha aside. The three of them were in a hotel at this time.
"What exactly is it?"
Mo Xiaolan asked, and Lattis shook his head.
"I don't know even if you ask me about this matter. I just came here for a visit."
Mo Xiaolan looked at Lattis suspiciously. She had just received a call from Locke, saying that there was no need to wake Alpha up. He would handle the matter personally.
"You really don't know? Can't you tell me the truth?"
Lattis laughed, looked at Alpha who was already asleep, put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt, and walked aside to light a cigarette.
"I won't talk to you about the authority issue, Xiaolan. After all, the three of us have been in the same room for so many years. I will only tell you one thing. It's better for you to ask Fatty about this matter in person. I really can't tell you."
Mo Xiaolan walked over angrily.
"Latis, I just want to tell you one thing. I always feel that the situation in the prison is..."
"It's not your turn to interrupt me, Xiaolan. If you really want to do something, don't stay at home all day. Just come up."
Mo Xiaolan stopped talking. She didn't have much pursuit since she was a child. She felt that having some friends, a stable life, a lover and a family was enough. She didn't want to think about or take on extra things.
"I'm leaving. I have an appointment with my boyfriend tonight."
Mo Xiaolan said and turned around and walked away, looking back at Latis.
"Take care of Alpha."
Latis smiled and nodded.
After Mo Xiaolan left the room, Latis smiled helplessly, walked to Alpha, took the hot water on the table, and pulled Alpha up a little.
"Drink some water! I really don't know why you drink so much."
Alpha opened his eyes slightly.
"Why are you so lazy?"
"She's gone, Alpha. Do you want me to take you to the hospital for an injection?"
Alpha shook her head, drank some water and lay down again. Latis asked Alpha to lie on her side and gently pushed her back.
Everyone has been busy with work in the past few years. They only got together a few months ago when they had dinner in the General Affairs Department.
Latis came here not just for the meeting, but to continue to send money to the Angus family. The prison's income has been good in recent years. This money can be used to support the Angus family first.
"Are you feeling better?"
Looking at Alpha, it was still a bit uncomfortable, but he had fallen asleep. Latis lay on the bed, next to Alpha, and stretched out one hand to Alpha's forehead, but never touched it.
The Angus family is like Latis's second home. Latis has been alone since she was very young. She has never felt what home is, but Alpha gave it to her.
Latis is very clear about his feelings for Alpha. Such feelings are not formed overnight, but are cultivated over the years. However, Latis has decided to keep this feeling in his heart for the rest of his life, as long as he can be friends with Alpha as always.
"Sorry!"
Latis said as he lay down and turned off the light.
0 o'clock
Gene looked at Fry, whose hands had recovered and was struggling to eat.
"How do you feel?"
"It's like having a very long dream. I dreamed of many things, Principal."
Gene nodded. Now that such a thing has happened in the city, Gene is very clear. People from the four departments have rushed over to deal with it. He can only accompany Fry and can't do anything else.
"Let me ask you a question, Fry! What do you think should be chosen between the minority and the majority?"
Fry was a little surprised, but he said without any hesitation.
"Choose the one who needs help the most."
Gene smiled and nodded. This was the correct answer. Gene knew very well that if Ellie was still here, she would say the same thing. This is not a question of the majority and the minority, but a question of need or not.
If you blindly abandon the minority and choose the majority, the minority that is abandoned will increase. This is the essence of the problem that will repeat itself.
In the past, Gene did not approve of Ellie's approach to help those who need help the most, instead of abandoning this minority for the so-called stability and the so-called overall interests.
History is always reincarnated countless times, and mistakes are replicated countless times. Gene still remembers that there were many things that happened in the past because of concealing the truth. The most serious one was the nuclear power plant explosion three centuries ago.
That accident was just because of a lie, and the number of people affected was as high as tens of millions. These impacts are long-lasting and far-reaching, and will not stop after the accident.
In Gene's impression, the teacher who taught him a lot said at the time that lies would not bring anything.
Gene stood up, walked to the window, lit a cigarette, looked at the bright city light, and thought of the young couple who almost broke up in the past. The man was called Le Wen and the woman was called Su Xin.
Gene also heard a little about what happened to the couple afterwards, which really surprised Gene. It was just a small act of kindness, but the couple helped many people in need in the next few years. This was something Gene had never thought of. He looked back at Fry behind him.
"Principal! If I recover, I want to go back to work in the hospital as soon as possible."
Gene smiled and nodded.
"I'll think of a way to at least help you solve part of the funding problem. Isn't there some land over there that can be planted?"
Fry immediately understood what Gene meant.
"I'll go to Natasha first and ask her for some seeds that can be used to grow food."
Gene stood on the window sill, then leaned against the window frame, with one leg straight and the other bent, a cigarette in his mouth, and the wind occasionally brushed across his face.
"New Era!"
Fry looked at Gene with some emotion, and the light of the new era that Monica had been talking about in the past emerged in his mind.
"Will you see it, Principal!"
"Of course! I should go, Fry, I have to go around some places."
Gene stood up, tilted his head and smiled at Fry, then jumped down, and the curtains fluttered in the breeze.
Fry had a happy smile on his face. He believed Gene's words, because from Gene, Fry learned a lot, and also understood why Gene had not given up his work until now. He was really a teacher that Fry respected from the bottom of his heart.
This kind of care that is as subtle and omnipresent as the breeze can be felt, seen, and heard by everyone who knows Gene.
"What exactly is that dream? The Devourer."
Frye smiled helplessly, supported his body and lay down, closing his eyes.
The night had already begun to deepen, and many lights in the city had gone out. Gene stopped on the rooftop of a building, looking at the dark night sky in the distance. He smiled. Many things were different from the past. They could not be handled simply and roughly, and there was no way to deal with them. But now the only thing Gene could do was to silently guard everything in front of him.
"Tomorrow will also be a sunny day, right, Ellie!"
0:23
The take-off and landing plane slowly took off. Freya looked tiredly at the lights in the dark city, and Gary Locke next to her pressed his forehead in annoyance.
"I don't know what to say."
Freya smiled with her lips pursed, and her smile was slightly bitter.
"No need to say more, Mr. General Manager, it's okay, we will be at Angus's house soon."
Gary Locke nodded. Now they are powerless. Relying on purchasing solid water to supply the people in the south is not a long-term solution. If they continue, the situation will be worse.
Although the price of solid water is the same as the price of daily water for the people, it is actually a loss. The current situation of the 4th department is a bit bad. In just three months, the funds originally used for the opening of the 4th department's medical school have almost been emptied.
The price of solid water is much higher than that of ordinary water because of the processing and transportation costs.
The two have thought it through and have discussed it with their colleagues. Now the only way is to let the Angus family start the construction project in the south and solve the water supply problem in the south first.
If the construction starts in full, it will only take three months for the people to drink safe and clean water, but the problem is that other construction must be carried out simultaneously, otherwise the construction cost in the south will continue to increase.
The Angus couple have been contacted in advance. Now the two are going to formally talk to the Angus couple about the start of construction.
The brightly lit family territory can already be seen, and the take-off and landing machine quickly passed by, like a red meteor streaking across the dark night sky.
0:39
Eddie stood quietly on the rooftop, holding the wine glass in his hand, and laughed happily. In the picture captured by a long-distance observation device next to him, the take-off and landing machine of the General Affairs Department has landed on the lawn of the Angus family. Everything is as calculated by Prometheus.
Just let the heavy metal poisoning incident ferment, and then let this incident break out, you can force the Angus family to start work, and the next plan can start again.
This time the start of work is different from the previous one, it is equivalent to a suicidal start. Eddie knows very well that the Angus family is not far from being destroyed.
The long-term wish is about to come true. Once the Angus family falls, Eddie can take over everything legitimately. In the whole city, only their Hillman family is capable of taking over.
Once everything is under control, Eddie's plan can be accelerated. The capital is huge enough to cover the city, ahead of the biomechanical technology on the market in the city, and the private semi-mechanical transformation project he has built.
Recently, under the advice of Prometheus, Eddie plans to study how to make mutants violent. This is a time bomb. There are so many mutant bombs in the city. He only needs to study how to ignite this bomb.
Eddie likes fireworks very much. Every year, the Hillman family burns a lot of fireworks and launches them into the sky. The dazzling brilliance that explodes in an instant makes Eddie feel pleasing to the eye.
"The right person has been found!"
A ball of black flames ignited, and Eddie looked at the light and shadow screen next to him. On it was a strong and powerful giant who was more than 3 meters tall, Quasimodo.
"I see, what should I do!"
"In the last incident, the body of the woman named Miranda who had died has not been processed yet."
Eddie widened his eyes excitedly.
"What's the probability?"
"60%."
Eddie stroked his hair with one hand and said after thinking for a while.
"Enough, this probability is enough to pry everything. Even if it doesn't pry, this matter has nothing to do with us, right! How about the backup plan?"
"It's ready, Master Eddie."
Eddie looked at the information of another man named Pete next to him. He will be imprisoned soon.
"Let's start. I need to solve the problem during the national meeting!"
