Chapter 1332: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 86 (Part 2)

Under the scorching sun, Jewell wiped the sweat from his forehead from time to time. He had been walking with Gene for a long time. He didn't know where Gene was going to take him, but now Jewell wanted to know his mother's past.

Many things his mother had only told him when he was a child, like telling a story. Jewell couldn't remember some things. No matter when, Jewell's longing for his mother would always burst out in the dead of night.

Every night Jewell would talk to Wu Qian about something, and Wu Qian also expressed understanding and patiently listened to Jewell's confession. Jewell would cry a lot of the time. For Jewell, daily life was boring and tasteless most of the time, except when he was with Wu Qian. Jewell didn't even know what he wanted to do.

He was like a walking corpse all day long. He started working after getting up and having breakfast in the morning. Only the feeling of fatigue allowed Jewell to temporarily forget many things.

Gene walked along the way, looking at Jewel behind him from time to time. There was always a trace of distress on the boy's face. He knew what Jewel was worried about, but all this might not be changed in a short time.

"We're here."

Jewel looked at it with some surprise. This was the easternmost part of the area, close to the next area, where Angus was building a construction site. It had been completely blocked. Jewel had also heard that this place was very lively before.

Gene raised one hand, and a touch of light blue particles wrapped around Jewel. In an instant, Gene jumped over the blocked wire fence and took Jewel into the street in front of him. It had been dug up and most of the residents in it had temporarily moved away. The signs of some shops on the street were covered with dust.

Gene took Jewel along the way, turned into an alley, and came to a back street. Gene walked in front of a three-story store, took out a key from his pocket, opened the shutter door of the store, and pulled it up. It was a restaurant bar with a very good style. Gene pushed open the door and a smell of dust came to his nose.

Looking at Jewell who looked suspicious behind him, Gene said while holding up the key.

"The owner of this store is my old friend. Your mother and I met here."

Jewell nodded. At first, he thought that Gene and his mother met in the purple crystal store that Wu Qian opened before.

Seeing Jewell eager to know everything, Gene scratched his head, took out a piece of cat essence from the bar, turned on the light, walked to a seat on the first floor close to the street, and wiped it with a towel.

"How should I put it! Or where should I start? By the way, at that time, Wilsi had just graduated. Because of marriage problems, she ran away from home in anger with her family and ran to the home of a member of the Huosen family in this place."

Jewell walked on the sofa, and Gene asked with a smile.

"What do you want to drink?"

"Apple juice."

Gene nodded with a smile.

"I remember that Wilsey also liked to drink it before. Wait a moment."

Jewell nodded and looked at Gene who walked to the bar and found some ingredients and started to mix it. Jewell was not unfamiliar with this man. He could often see him in some banquets since he was a child, and he knew a lot of people.

After a while, Gene came over with two glasses of apple juice and placed them in front of Jewell. He tasted it and found that it tasted good. He looked at Gene with some surprise.

"My mother liked you!"

Jewell asked, and Gene nodded without avoiding it. For a while, Jewell looked at Gene with some excitement.

"I always heard my mother mention you before. If it was you, no matter what the family members did, they would not object."

Gene did not answer this question, but nodded slightly. In his memory, the last time he went to see Wilsey, what she said to him was like saying goodbye in advance. She exchanged her death for her son's life, but at the same time, it also made her son immersed in grief and could never let it go.

Jewell was not as strong as the outside world said, and Gene was very clear about this.

"Why not choose mother! Isn't she good?"

Jean shook his head.

"She is a very good girl, Jewel, I can't help you, you can only rely on yourself to face the long life ahead."

Jean laughed.

"If you are willing to help, mother will not die at all, she may..."

Jean did not continue to speak, and Jean in front of him kept smiling and nodded.

"No one can control their own life, Jewel, if you want to hear some things in the past, I can tell you slowly."

Jean nodded, and Jean smiled and spoke.

Looking at Jean who was smiling and talking about his mother's past, Jewel's originally serious expression relaxed a little. After a few years of being a director, Jewel learned to think, and combined with some things in his mother's past, Jewel found that there was always someone living in his mother's heart, and this person never left, perhaps until the death of his mother, that person did not leave.

Originally, Jewell thought that after his uncle Chen Qiao could take charge of the family, maybe his uncle and his mother could be together. Jewell also thought so, but now he no longer thinks so. The man in front of him remembers everything about his mother. , far beyond Jewell’s imagination, many things about his mother’s youth, those trivial things that no one knew, this man talked about in detail, without any reservation.

Jewell heard about a brand new mother, and there were many things that he had never heard his mother mention before. These sweet and happy past events seemed to belong only to the beautiful memories of his mother and this man, and only the two of them knew about them.

"Mother has been to the barrier area?"

Jewell was a little surprised when he heard what Gene said now, and Gene nodded.

"Yeah, Wilsie had a big fight with her parents that night and was in a bad mood. She said she wanted me to take her away. It doesn't matter where she goes. It's best to be far away."

Jewell smiled. In his eyes, his mother had always been a relatively conservative type. She often didn't talk much. Except for some things about her studies, her mother rarely mentioned other things.

Bada

Big tears fell from Jewell's eyes and fell on the table. Gene handed over a handkerchief, looked at the big boy crying in front of him, and said with a smile.

"You are a free Jewell now. No one can control your life. That's it for today. It's getting late. If you are free, I can chat with you like this."

Jewell nodded, but he still had doubts in his heart.

"Why don't you give mother a little hope!"

Gene didn't answer the question, just stood up.

"Sorry!"

After a while, the two left the construction site and returned to the main street. It was already 5:49, and the sun would soon go out.

"Thank you for today."

Jean nodded and looked at Jewel, who was already running quickly. This child was burdened with the shadow of his parents. This was Jean's only worry. Things that have been imprinted in his heart since childhood are difficult to reverse and eradicate. .

Gene reached into his coat pocket and took out a folded letter, which Wilsey had left for her son. She gave it to Jewell when she got married. Gene had not read the content of the letter.

"I just hope that day comes soon!"

6 o'clock sharp

The last embers of the sun dyed the city red, and it fell into darkness in just a few seconds. The light came on one after another, and a lift slowly landed on the top of the Hillman Pharmaceutical Building.

Eddie was already holding a bottle of wine and two glasses. He looked at Ran Zhi who was getting off the lift with a smile on his face. He walked over with a smile, opened his arms and gave Ran Zhi a hug.

Ran Zhi nodded and took the wine glass from Eddie. Eddie opened it and filled Ran Zhi up. After he drank it all, he stared at Eddie sharply.

"Half the battle is done, the other half can only be done slowly."

"Let me see her."

Eddie nodded, patted Ran Zhi on the shoulder, and took him to the elevator. The elevator went all the way down. Ran Zhi's expression looked a little solemn. Eddie said with a smile.

"We have tried our best. Your wife's life was saved, but she fell into a coma. We can only pray that medicine can continue to develop and that one day she may wake up."

Ran Zhi hummed and said nothing more. Now all the researchers detained by the Hillman family have returned to the city, including Erwin.

After a long descent, the elevator reached the 7th floor underground, and Eddie smiled and made a "please" gesture.

"I won't go in with you. It's in the ward at the bottom."

Ran Zhi nodded.

"Thanks!"

Eddie nodded, looked at Ran Zhi leaving the elevator, and sighed helplessly. He didn't quite understand this kind of feeling, or he didn't have such unforgettable feelings, because in his past life, Eddie had never loved. Who, he only loves himself.

Because from childhood to adulthood, Eddie has watched his father grow up, and his father only loves himself. When facing his mother, his father is still cold, and the same is true when he treats himself. From childhood to adulthood, his father always Think of yourself as a trading tool.

The only thing his father taught Eddie was patience. Eddie learned it well and finally endured it until the opportunity came.

After Ran Zhi disinfected a room, he rinsed his body and put on clean clothes. He walked slowly towards the large ward at the bottom of the corridor. When he opened the door, Ran Zhi stared blankly at the large ward. In the center of the ward, his wife was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face. He walked over slowly, pulled out a chair, sat down and said with a smile.

"I'm back, wife."

Ran Zhi said and grabbed Ding Manman's hand. It was cold and had no warmth at all. Ran Zhi already knew that most of his wife's body had been transformed into machines. It was precisely because of this that the blight syndrome stopped. Come down.

Ran Zhi grabbed his wife's hand and put it on his cheek. He had never been as sad as he is now. Everything happened so suddenly that Ran Zhi was not even mentally prepared.

After all these years, Ran Zhi has never been in such pain as he is today. He kept sobbing. He loved his wife very much. Ran Zhi knew from a long time ago that his life became extremely warm because of his wife. Although his wife She is very ordinary, even to outsiders, she is a bit stupid, sometimes noisy, occasionally has a little temper, and often has fierce quarrels with Ran Zhi over the education of her children.

As he gets older, his wife's appearance has aged and her figure has changed. However, no matter how many years have passed, Ran Zhi still loves his wife very much. Especially in recent years, Ran Zhi feels more and more that he can go all the way with Ding Manman. What a lucky and happy thing.

"Obviously I've been caught."

Ran Zhi had burst into tears. In the past, Ran Zhi always felt that no matter how hard he tried, he could never grasp hope, and no matter how hard he tried, he could never grasp the light. But now Ran Zhi understands that he once held on tightly. Live this happiness.

Ran Zhi couldn't imagine what he would do without his wife in the long and endless days ahead.

"Sorry!"

Ran Zhi sobbed and shook his head sadly. Many past events kept coming to his mind. In the past, he spent a lot of time on his career. Perhaps he subconsciously realized his love for his wife and sold her. After everything, he and his wife returned to the bottom, living happily every day, but this life came to an abrupt end in just a few years.

Eddie sat quietly in an office, looking at Ran Zhi crying on the screen. He didn't have any emotions in his heart, he just felt regret, because he knew that this man would live in sorrow and long waiting in the future. middle.

"Man is born alone, and he will be alone when he dies."

Eddie smiled as he spoke, looking at a tube of black potion on the table. The potion that caused mutants to go berserk had been produced. Eddie laughed. There were countless bombs in the city waiting for him to detonate. As long as he If you wish, the city can be reduced to a sea of ​​flames in an instant.

"The experiment can begin, Prometheus."

Eddie said as a black flame floated behind him.

"33 experimental subjects have been selected."

Eddie nodded and looked at the experimental subjects on the light and shadow screens. According to long-term research, mutants with fragile psychological conditions have a higher probability of going berserk after being injected with this violent medicine. Many experiments have been carried out on Experiments have been conducted on the body.

Glancing again at Ran Zhi, who was lying on the hospital bed, muttering in pain, Eddie turned off the monitor and stood up.

"Maybe so!"

Eddie's mind flashed through everything in the student cadre meeting room in school. Every time he thought of it, a strange feeling would rise in his chest.

"I can't go back, everything!"

6:21

"It's okay, it will be the end of the month soon."

At a beautifully decorated old dining table, Le Wen looked at the rice porridge brought out by his wife Su Xin from the kitchen and added some vegetables.

"I'm not talking about your salary. I'm talking about how we need to go to the biometric information storage center in a few days. After all, birth control has begun."

Lewen smiled and nodded.

"Indeed, we have to go as soon as possible. By the way, wife, I'm really sorry. Originally"

"I've helped you, so there's nothing to be sorry for."

In the past, one of Le Wen's classmates and friends encountered a debt crisis. Le Wen helped him get through the difficulty. All the money he had saved over the years had been lent to that classmate, causing the two of them to fall into trouble this month. financial crisis.

In addition, some children from the surrounding neighborhood would come over to the house for meals from time to time, and Su Xin was also happy to cook a delicious meal for those children.

After the two of them finished eating the vegetable porridge with a smile, they cleared the dishes together. Le Wen planned to go to the offices of several nearby districts tomorrow to see if he could earn some extra money.

Su Xin helps some factories at home with handicrafts subcontracted every day, and the couple has a great time every day.

dong dong dong

There was a knock on the door of the room. Under the dim lighting, the couple walked towards the dark door together. The power supply on the ground floor still had problems at night, and many places had power cuts.

"Who is it so late?"

"Cousin, what's wrong?"

Su Xin looked at Su Li standing at the door with some surprise, carrying a bunch of things in her hands, and many bodyguards following behind her.

"how come"

"I just went to the ground floor to discuss some business. I wanted to come and see you when I passed by."

Su Li walked in directly, and Le Wen hurriedly took the kitchen lighting to the living room, and hurriedly boiled water to make tea.

"You don't have to bring so many things here."

Su Xin looked awkwardly at the pile of things Su Li was carrying, all of which were food. Su Li didn't say much, just put the things down and sat on the sofa.

Su Li did not come to the bottom to discuss business, but according to the information given by the informant at the bottom, Su Xin's family had fallen into a financial crisis, so she came directly. Su Li had come here several times before, but she did not ask Su Xin to follow her. Su Li couldn't talk about her return, and Su Xin wouldn't mention it either.

"I said you two should have a baby soon."

Su Xin smiled and looked at Le Wen awkwardly, and Le Wen sighed.

"Right now, instead of promulgating a birth control regulation, we are still waiting in line."

Su Li nodded. The population of Brilliant City is now more than 24 million. If it continues, the population will continue to increase, resulting in less allocation of social resources, and most people will have a harder time.

Su Li did not say much, but just asked about the couple's recent situation. The conversation was very pleasant. After half an hour, Su Li left. The couple sent Su Li to the entrance of the alley before turning back.

Su Li looked at the couple who were talking and laughing. No matter what time, their relationship was still so good. Su Li looked at them with some envy. There are people who will not give up happiness because of life.

In Su Li's opinion, this is very rare. A big thing happened in Brilliant City today. Now most people's attention is focused on the accident last month.

However, Su Li has almost never heard people from the bottom talk about this incident along the way. Few people discuss these things. Everything at the bottom now makes Su Li feel like she has come to another era.

Su Li would not conduct any business activities at the grassroots level. Previously, with Bao Zhen's help, some district councilors at the grassroots level had approached her many times, hoping that the Su family could conduct some business activities at the grassroots level.

But as a businessman, Su Li knew that this was a losing business. It was difficult for the grassroots to generate huge profits. Several major changes in the city had turned the grassroots into a quagmire. Except for the middle and lower-level merchants, the upper-level merchants and families were quite repulsive to the grassroots.

As soon as she came to the street, Su Li saw a man talking with a black old antique phone. There were more and more such phones recently, and there were very few lighting equipment at the grassroots level.

This was why Su Li felt as if she had come to another era. The situation at the grassroots level was getting worse and worse.

Some places had an average monthly income of less than 500 yuan, and they were increasingly marginalized and gradually became slums.

Soon Su Li returned to her helicopter parked in the district power office. The councilors still insisted that Su Li could consider revitalizing the economy at the grassroots level.

"I'm sorry, our Su family is not a charity. We won't invest a penny before the city comes up with a reasonable and effective economic revitalization plan."

Su Li noticed the anger in the eyes of the councillors for a moment, and entered the takeoff and landing machine with a chuckle. Su Li knew with her toes that once the Su family invested, it would only give more people hope, and the already deteriorating investment environment at the bottom would definitely make the investment go down the drain. At that time, the people at the bottom would only be more desperate, so Su Li refused from the beginning, no matter how much convenience the District Authority gave her, no matter how generous the conditions the Action Department gave her.

Although refusal is cruel, it is always safer than turning a meager hope into intense despair in an instant. This is Su Li's philosophy of life. She will never participate or get involved in things that she is not sure of.

The congressmen have taken many measures to revitalize the local economy, but most of them have failed. In Su Li's opinion, these measures are fine, but they have failed because the bottom layer does not have the most critical original output, which is fatal. Congress is unlikely to hand over the food base to the bottom layer. Once food is handed over, the city will be more chaotic because there are too many places to tamper with it, and people are greedy by nature.

"I just hope that the pioneer plan can go smoothly!"

The take-off and landing machine slowly flew towards the dazzling upper layer, and Su Li smiled with her hand on her chin.

"The only people who can change everything are those who break common sense and are kind, tough and brave. Unfortunately, Alpha is not, and Freya is not. Most people's thinking has been solidified, and it will only become a slogan or a beautiful lie for the better city."

Su Li has seen the future pattern of the city. The increasingly solidified system will eventually squeeze everything at the bottom layer because of strict control to supply the normal operation of the middle and upper layers.

In the past, Su Li might have thought there was a possibility. Alpha, as a sun-like existence, was already overdosed in Su Li's opinion, because although she was not bound, she could not escape the city's overall bondage. Common sense was hard to break.

Su Li's mind was very clear, and perhaps many people were as clear as she was, but no one could do anything. The orchard plan was the only way to increase internal pressure and eventually expand outward. Once this plan failed, the impact would be far-reaching and serious.

"I can only pray!"

Speed ​​Recorder smiled and closed his eyes. She was a little tired. She had thought about handing over the Su family to the young people before, but now she couldn't, because no one could take on the heavy burden of the Su family.

Time passed by minute by minute, and it was 8:13 pm

Alpha sat quietly in Locke's office, watching Locke still discussing with Noah about the speech for tomorrow morning. She remained silent. Although the remedial measures taken by Congress this time were timely, they still encountered widespread criticism.

The technical error has been determined, but how to formulate a set of arguments that can convince the whole city is a very big problem.

"How about this, just say it was caused by errors in the data structure."

Noah said, and Locke nodded. At this time, the two looked at Alpha, who was silent. Alpha had compromised to the greatest extent. This accident was very serious. Alpha was planning to talk to the gods directly later. Regarding the development of anthropomorphic robots, it is best to develop them in a closed manner, and robots cannot be allowed to walk out of 10 Keli.

The accident inevitably happened, and Alpha was determined not to allow the next accident to happen.

"That's about it. I'll make a plan. If you two are hungry, go downstairs and eat something. Please tell the chef to make some of my favorite food. You can bring it up to me after you finish eating."

Gary Locke said and winked at Noah. Noah walked over, and Alpha stood up and put out his cigarette.

"I want to get some fresh air."

A few minutes later, the two came to the rooftop of the General Affairs Department. Alpha sat on the edge of the rooftop, and Noah came over and stood behind Alpha.

"This is completely different from what you said and thought in the past, right!"

Noah hummed. When he was in school, Noah had very lofty ideals and ambitions in his heart. However, these ideals and ambitions were gradually distanced by reality over the years. Noah could not realize them as he wanted because there were too many problems involved.

The same is true for the failure of the robot development this time. Anna caused such a big accident for unknown reasons. Although it may be caused by someone's malicious operation behind the scenes, the laxity of the 10th Department gave the enemy an opportunity.

"I don't want to defend Alpha. This plan is very important for the future of mankind and it is impossible to stop."

Alpha smiled bitterly, nodded, stood up, and turned to look at Noah.

"The future? Where is it?"

Noah shook his head.

"I don't know where it is, but it is necessary. If you want, come to the 10th Department at noon tomorrow. I will tell you everything. Even if the gods don't allow us to leak it, only you, I will tell you everything Alpha, I hope you believe me."

Alpha nodded.

"Tell me everything at noon tomorrow."
