Chapter 1,289: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 72 (Part 1)

The wind and sand are howling, and under the gray-black sky, there is a huge mountain range, Alatan Ula.

This huge mountain range located in the northwest of Brilliant City stretches for thousands of kilometers, with dramatic ups and downs, gullies on the surface around it, and many intricate entrances between the mountains. For thousands of years, the wind has been like a blade, constantly blowing on this mountain range, forming a unique natural landscape.

No matter when you look at it, Alatan Ula is like a monster sleeping in the dark, staring at the city illuminated by the light in the distance in the dark.

In the past, there were many small shelters for humans here during the disaster period, and many towns were built in the wind-protected areas relying on the mountains, but now these towns have long been dilapidated.

In some towns, traces of human past can only be seen from the weathered ruins.

Creaking

In the wind and sand, a small black machine with tracks on Changxing is moving slowly in the wind. In the middle of the long shape, there is a rotating black semi-circular sphere with many crystals on it, flashing scarlet light.

Such machines can be seen from time to time around Altan Ula. They are small multifunctional monitoring machines. At this time, the scarlet light spots in the semicircular area of ​​the machine suddenly went out, and the speed of the track rotation increased, and soon entered a small path cut by the wind.

Creak

Accompanied by the mechanical walls extending from both sides of the semicircular sphere, the machine was directly fixed on a mountain wall deep in the mountain path, and the scarlet light lit up again.

"We're here."

Jin put down Mo Xiaolan on his back. At this time, Mo Xiaolan was shivering with cold. Gene smiled and looked around. He saw a small mountain that could shelter from the wind in the sand. He used telekinesis to drag Mo Xiaolan and took her directly to the leeward side of the mountain.

Gurgle Gurgle

Mo Xiaolan turned on the hot water bottle and took a big sip. The situation was better. The further north she went, the stronger the wind and sand became. It was impossible for anyone to survive in such a place.

"Will there really be anyone here?"

Jin shook his head, but nodded again. He lit a cigarette.

"Xiaolan, didn't you say that you might as well come over here to investigate?"

Mo Xiaolan wanted to lean back in anger, but the hard stone hit the back of her head. She stood up, took the backpack from Gene, and leaned back comfortably.

From childhood to adulthood, the relationship between Gene and Mo Xiaolan was more like friends than master and apprentice. Mo Xiaolan trusted Gene very much and would tell Gene everything, from the life of students in school, her own affairs, including some of Alpha's ideas, etc.

Mo Xiaolan was very smart. She knew that Gene wanted to know something about the students, but she couldn't ask, so Mo Xiaolan would take the initiative to tell Gene everything.

Over the years, the Barrier District has become a paradise for criminals. There is a mountain in the north of Brilliant City. Because it is black no matter when you look at it, it is named Black Mountain. The gully area only lasts to the northwest.

There is a section of soil connected to the Barrier District. This place is the best place for many criminals to escape and the best place for criminals to sneak back to Brilliant City.

Although the northern guard station often conducts patrols and control, the effect is not very ideal. There are too many ways for criminals to escape.

The criminals mainly gather in the east and south. These two areas have a large number of human gatherings in the past, and the wind and sand are also smaller than the west and north.

The two came all the way. After leaving the south, it was almost deserted. It was difficult to find signs of human activities. There was only wind and sand all over the sky, garbage in the wind and sand, and harmful particles floating.

Many other places have been investigated, but no clues have been found. No matter what the criminals in the barrier area do, it is impossible to get crops like potatoes. Although some private take-off and landing can be used to transport them out, the risk is too high and it is easy to be detected by Section 3.

The only function of the psychedelic membrane that currently covers the entire city is to isolate some harmful particles and slow down the rate of temperature loss to stabilize the climate. Other gods are still working with people from Section 10 to allow the psychedelic membrane to carry some information, so that the psychedelic membrane can have a monitoring function, so that when entering and leaving the city, you can know where you are and how big it is.

Before the harm continues to ferment, a solution must be found. This is Gene's usual practice.

"Let's go, Xiaolan, let's go around the mountains. If we can't find anything, we'll go back. This is the minimum guarantee."

Mo Xiaolan pouted, stood up, put on a protective mask and sunglasses, and climbed onto Gene's back again.

At this time, in the wind and sand, Mo Xiaolan caught a glimpse of scarlet, but when he looked over quickly, the scarlet disappeared.

Less than a few seconds after the two left, a crawler machine slowly approached, and the light spots on the semicircular surface kept flashing.

A huge underground cave located in the north of the Altan Ula Mountains.

The cave no longer has the original noise. The doors of the rooms built along the stone walls are filled with many lifeless people.

In the middle of the huge cave, a solar lamp is on, and a large area of ​​land in the middle is planted with a lot of crops. Many people are working in the fields, and many people look very tired.

Everyone wears a black collar around their neck, and if you don't obey, you will be killed instantly by the collar.

Each collar has a red flame pattern, and everyone here is wearing a one-piece coarse cloth, and all of their clothes are printed with red flame patterns.

Located on the east side of the cave, at the top of a huge metal tower built from the bottom up, close to the top of the cave, is a transparent and smooth cover, inside is a large private rest area, a man stands on the platform extending from the cover, overlooking everything below.

This nearly 60-meter-high cave took the Hillman family five years to dig out. The cave is nearly 4 square kilometers and currently has more than 11,000 people, including more than 8,000 men and more than 3,000 women.

The man's name is Erwin Hillman, Eddie's cousin, and he is also the highest person in charge here.

This place has also changed from freedom at the beginning to absolute control. In the past, many criminals thought this was a paradise, but three years ago, such a life came to an abrupt end. From the moment they were forced to wear collars and had to obey all the orders of the Hillman family, they felt fear and found that they were just experimental subjects of the Hillman family.

Creak

The baffle in front of Erwin's left eyeball, which had been completely transformed into a machine, opened. The moment the inner spiral baffle opened, Erwin's head had received the video image from the external detection monitoring machine just now, and he smiled slightly.

"Sure enough, someone will find this place."

Erwin smiled comfortably. A long time ago, under Prometheus's planning, there were already various means of response. As long as someone started to investigate, this place could be closed instantly, and it was almost impossible to find this place.

Erwin turned and walked through the room. After walking out of the room, there was an empty hall opposite. People wearing white clothes, wearing masks, and holding various tools in their hands were busy at the operating tables.

Men and women lying on the operating table, their bodies had been cut open, and their eyes were wide open and unable to move were undergoing mechanical surgery transformation.

All the materials for transformation can be obtained from the mineral deposits in this mountain range. The Hillman family has developed a new alloy suitable for the human body. This is the best material for semi-mechanical transformation of people, and it has been perfectly experimented in the city.

After these people are transformed, they will also be implanted with brain control chips. Everything in their bodies is controlled by the chips implanted in their heads, not their brains.

By collecting all the daily physical and behavioral data of these people and writing them into the brain control chips, their bodies are controlled by the brain control chips, just like being possessed by ghosts. Although they have thoughts and can speak, their bodies are not controlled by their own thoughts.

This is the mechanical transformation technology that the Hillman family obtained from X. It is currently impossible to convert the electrochemical signals of the brain into signals to control the body, because it is impossible to create a connection medium that is comparable to human nerve fibers.

There is currently no material that can perfectly combine cold things like machinery with living things.

Although Prometheus has a relatively complete theory, this theory is difficult to achieve.

Today's transformed people are transformed into machines except for their heads. This is an extremely painful and difficult process.

All of this is to prepare for the future upgrade of the transformed robots. Implanting personality and directly controlling the mechanical body with the human brain are the main research directions of the Hillman family in the future.

Beep beep

Erwin looked at a man on an operating table who died halfway through the operation. He walked over, took a look at the data on the light and shadow screen, and then took another look at the mechanical doctor.

"This is your fifth failure. Think it over. If your failure rate exceeds 60%, you will be the next one to be transformed."

The man in front of him was trembling, and the scalpel in his hand fell to the ground. Erwin took a look and said with a smile.

"Recycle the materials, and put the rest directly into the nutrient production pool."

Many people around were trembling at everything in front of them, doing their work carefully.

After Erwin took a look, he left the lobby on the top floor and took the elevator down to some of the middle floors. As soon as the elevator door opened, Erwin saw many women wearing loose white coats and big bellies.

Some doctors were checking their physical conditions. After Erwin looked around casually, he turned around and came to the lower floor. In the single rooms, men and women with numbers on their bodies were being taken to the designated rooms.

Screening the genes of excellent men and women, and then letting them produce the next generation, and then training the next generation to become scientific researchers, is the beginning of the next huge plan of the Hillman family.

This also includes the training of mutants. In long-term experiments, the Hillman family found that people with double Y chromosomes have an almost 100% chance of becoming mutants, and can grow into powerful mutants in a short period of time.

Nowadays, the transformation surgery for mutants is extremely safe, and the transformation of mutants is only semi-mechanized. In order to improve the combat ability of mutants, ordinary people are fully mechanized.

Erwin came again. In a large room, many strong-looking men and women were wearing collars and exercising on exercise machines. This is also the most effective method to produce mutants today. , breaking through the limits of human physical ability, alienated genes will appear in the human body, and they will grow into mutants.

Erwin went to the talent training classroom and took a look around. There were some children of school age who were receiving science education courses.

The operation of the entire facility was normal. Erwin smiled contentedly. Eddie's orders were absolute and must be obeyed. This was the understanding of the entire Hillman family.

"A new batch of criminals should be sent here almost tomorrow, but we still have to be careful."

Erwin opened his mouth slightly, and a row of metal teeth shone in the dim light. He strode out of the cylindrical tower. At this time, many people who were working speeded up their movements.

Erwin used to be a loser. In the Hillman family, he was just a humble loser. Ever since Eddie got everything in the Hillman family, everything has changed. Those things in Erwin's head in the past Countless crazy ideas have been put into practice. Eddie also admired Erwin's style of doing things, so he gave this place to him.

Over the years, Erwin has taken good care of everything here since the beginning of construction. Erwin died of illness in the city.

In the past, Erwin still had some nostalgia for the past, but now he no longer thinks about it. The huge plan of the Hillman family is what makes Erwin worth everything, and the grand and long-lasting plan built by Eddie This huge and beautiful country is also where most of the Hillman family ultimately want to go.

At this moment, a bullet was suddenly shot from the pistol held by a working worker. The distance was very close, less than 5 meters away from Erwin. A very small pistol was fired. After the shot, the pistol exploded in the worker's hand. He looked at Erwin's broken forehead in horror. No blood flowed out. The bullet had sunk in, but the warhead had been completely crushed.

Erwin still smiled and pulled out the bullet from his head. The metal was visible under the skin.

"go to hell!"

The worker held a hoe and rushed towards Erwin angrily. He looked at the warhead in his hand and took a step forward like a normal person.

The worker in front of him fell to the ground in pain, vomiting blood, and was already dead. The back of his head was bloody and bloody, and the splashing blood had just hit the ground.

Erwin himself, like Eddie, has a chip in his head that can recognize brain signals. He can use his thoughts to kill anyone with a brain-control chip in his head, and he can also recognize the visual signals in other people's heads. Convert it into your own head.

"Keep working!"

Erwin said lightly, and soon some cyborgs floated over. They quickly packed up everything and left with the dead man.

Erwin went all the way to the west side of the cave, and after entering a long passage, he came to a large metal room.

There is a giant spherical machine in the room with a large number of crystals on it, and the synthesis of high-energy photons is being carried out inside the machine. The experiment has not been smooth, although Xingke has launched a photonuke once, releasing high-energy photons from the scene. The data inferred from the lethality appears extremely unstable.

Most of the people working here are scientific researchers from Hillman Enterprises who have died in the city.

This is what the Hillman family must accomplish now. This is the only effective way to confront the gods after things are exposed in the future.

"It's almost time, everyone, you can rest."

As Erwin said, the researchers in the research room who were still conducting data observations in front of some light and shadow screens turned around with relief and walked towards the room at the bottom.

Erwin took a look and saw that the time was just three o'clock.

"I'll remind Eddie when I contact you next time that it would be better to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible."

Erwin has made such suggestions to Eddie many times. Ever since x started cooperating with Eddie, Erwin felt that it would be better to get rid of this guy as soon as possible, although the current mechanical and biochemical transformation technology came from x. Yes, but having such a threat around will have an impact on the Hillman family's overall plan.

Eddie is now entangled in the technology that X holds that can tamper with human memory and implant memories. This kind of technology is very much wanted by the Hillman family.

"After all, a threat is a threat, and it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible."

3:06

Moore left the private classroom gloomily and returned to the rest area outside the classroom. He looked at the students around him. The people here were all his cousins, and he was the youngest.

Everyone's face showed some displeasure. Moore didn't like these things very much, but everyone was the same. Uncle Eddie forced him to be sent here to study every day. After returning, he had to hide it from his mother Ran Yu.

At this time, Moore looked at the slightly hot pendant on his chest, looked around, entered the bathroom, sat on the toilet and locked the door.

"Teach me quickly what to do to get through the next class!"

Moore said, the pendant shone slightly, and a voice appeared.

"It's a very simple question. You just need to follow what I said and you can pass the test smoothly. But this time Moore, you have to do a little help for me."

Moore nodded.

The pendant I bought for my chest at Angel Paradise suddenly spoke to Moore one night when he was doing the questions in distress, and guided Moore to complete all the questions. Now Moore's grades have improved, and he can spend more time playing. This is what Moore needs most now. He is not very smart to begin with and can never learn something.

Moore also knew who had installed some machinery into the pendant, but he didn't care because the voice in the pendant could help him now.

"I need you to go to the lowest level underground."

"No, we can't go down there. It would be terrible if uncle finds out."

Laughter burst out from the pendant.

"You just need to follow my instructions and no one will find out."

What Moore was thinking about at this time was what his uncle Eddie said. If he could complete this month's study, he could go to his grandfather's house with his mother.

Moore likes his grandfather very much. He always tells him interesting things and plays with him.

"How to do?"

"But not today, but starting in a while. You just need to do as I say, and slowly you will be able to go to the lowest level of the underground. Okay, you have to remember what I tell you next. At noon You can pass the test.”

Moore nodded happily. There were many things that Moore could not tell his mother, because Uncle Eddie said that if his mother knew, she would only become like them, and they would not be able to leave here for the rest of their lives.

3:23pm

People's anxiety also broke out along with the hot weather. Many people spontaneously came to the vicinity of the district office to wait for the release of the new round of tax allocation details.

Some people hope that education subsidies can be increased, others hope that medical subsidies can be increased, and some feel that the current subsidies for newborn babies are too low and should be increased.

Most self-employed people hope to increase subsidies for the industries they operate.

At this time, many people saw a woman with a bunch of children, big and small, holding a banner in their hands.

We want to live! Please save us.

Many people know that this woman is the operator of the local orphanage, Liu Ting. She has gone to the district office many times to ask for social welfare subsidies for the orphanage, but many times she can only rely on some donations driven by the council members. Maintain the daily maintenance and expenses of the orphanage under her care with more than 200 orphans.

This is a middle-class district, and the expenses for more than 200 orphans a month are as high as 40,000 yuan. This is not something Liu Ting can afford. Although she has several shops in business, she can only make ends meet.

Liu Ting took more than 50 children directly into the lobby of the district office. The staff of the district office did not chase them away, but were busy giving them some water and snacks.

Liu Ting must wait for the result here, even if it is just a little bit. The economic situation in this area is very good. As long as 1% can be allocated, the orphanage can be maintained.

Several congressmen in the district have promised to speak for them in Congress. Liu Ting wants to get the money as soon as possible before the results come out.

Many people on the street looked at him coldly.

"The child never has enough to eat. She always comes to us asking for donations. No one is a money maker."

"Yes, I have donated a few times and I ran out of money. I need to send these children to a more economically developed area as soon as possible."

People sitting in many shops on the street started talking. At first, everyone was quite supportive of this matter, but then Liu Ting asked for it again and again, and everyone began to get tired of it.

After all, the reason for so many orphans is still the troubles caused by irresponsible parents. This is what most people think. It was a little better before, but after the strong market rectification carried out by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the situation has become worse. Some orphanage workshops have to close down.

Dangerous substances and drugs. In the past, when the administrative department was not rectified, many orphanages were involved.

"Although it is difficult! But there will always be a way. We are currently actively preparing to let some children whose parents have been imprisoned go to Section 12 so that their parents can work there."

Latis said, Freya across from him shook his head.

"This cannot solve the problem, Mr. Latis. A city's attitude towards the weak determines how far the city can go. These marginalized problems, orphans, the helpless, the mentally ill, and black households, these are all Under the urban system, marginalized people who are born only need a trace of compassion to change a lot of things. Although the people may not be able to accept it in a short period of time, these problems will be eradicated bit by bit. It’s like what Mr. Alpha said before!”

Latis shook his head.

"Councillor Freya, I cannot agree with this approach. Such social problems are issues that your faction of congressmen should solve, rather than using city tax revenue to solve them. This approach puts the cart before the horse and customizes a system for them that can help orphans." This is what you should do to ensure the survival of the hospital and the compassion of society. You must consider the majority of people. "

Freya stared at the people around her quietly. This issue has been discussed for a long time. The marginal issue still has not reached any conclusion, but it is obvious that there are many people who disagree.

Because there are currently nearly 600,000 people without any production value, which is a terrifying number. If the tax is 100 yuan per month for these people, it will be 60 million, which can already catch up with the annual profits of several large enterprises.

"I didn't say that we need to use taxes to help them all the time. It's just an urgent need. Everyone has helpless times, and what should people do when they are helpless? I know this is Congress, and you shouldn't use such remarks. , but from the perspective of human nature, I think this is the only criterion. If we do nothing, these marginalized issues will only create more problems. "

At this time, Alpha stood up and walked slowly to the stage. Latis turned around and got off the stage with a smile.

"The problem is serious no matter what. Such a dilemma is not the focus of this issue Freya!"

Freya nodded.

"The key point is how they can survive. If it can only be solved by taxation, we don't need to argue here today. Directly setting aside 5% tax can solve the problem for these marginalized groups. The problem."

"The key is how to keep them alive!"

Freya said, showing a happy smile, and at this time, Wu Qun, who was behind Freya, took a long breath and looked at the family members, businessmen and most of the celebrities.

"I see!"

Eddie smiled and looked up at the two smiling people in front of him.

"It's just a farce!"
