Chapter 1463 The Young Generation (Part 2)
11:03
Fry quietly watched the group of young people in front of him leave. They came to the cemetery to pay tribute. Their six friends will sleep here forever.
This is the second time these young people have come here. Every time they come together, they will bring flowers and some gifts for the mental hospital. Most of them are food and daily necessities. There are 36 people in total. The things they brought have filled the place next to the main entrance of the hospital.
"Thank you, Dean!"
Xiong Dabiao said. They have been here for two hours, but Niya still didn't come in the end. Everyone plans to find a place to get together and have a good drink until dawn, and then go their separate ways.
Fry smiled and looked at this group of warm-hearted young people. They have all served in this hospital. Sometimes they are voluntary, sometimes they are punished for committing crimes, including in some orphanages. Fry has also seen them.
The city is in great need of such a group of warm-hearted young people. Fry saw a different brilliance in these young people who look lazy.
People should rely on each other to move forward. The city is too cold now. Fry has seen the same scene over the years, and the city is getting colder now, just like the sun disappears.
Since Alpha was imprisoned, the city has been attacked frequently. This hospital has been attacked no less than 10 times, all by criminals who wandered back from the Fortress Area. However, once they step into this place, they will sleep forever. Fry will not be polite to any criminals.
Looking at the friends who were about to leave, Olivia looked at them solemnly and finally spoke.
"Wait a little longer."
"Wait for nothing, that idiot won't come."
Eric said, clenching his fists angrily and knocking on the wall. He almost died that time and recovered after a month in hospital. Eric's heart is not easier than Nia's, because one of the friends who died was her girlfriend.
Eric was angry about Niya's current attitude, which made him feel uncomfortable inside, because Eric at the scene was the same, he did nothing and could only watch everything happen.
"You go find a place first, Violet and I will stay for a while."
Xiong Dabiao said, and the others were about to leave. At this time, a woman who was about to leave stood at the open small door and seemed to see something shocking.
"Niya!"
The woman ran over and hugged Niya who was holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
"Sorry, I'm going to find a flower shop. I looked in many places before I found it."
Niya hesitated and tilted her head. At this time, many people came out. Eric snorted coldly, and then Niya walked in. Niya looked at everyone there, and she lowered her head a little embarrassed.
"Hug"
"Please don't say such things again, Niya. You don't have to apologize to anyone. This is not your fault."
Eric said, and walked to Niya, pressing her shoulder with one hand. Niya hummed in a low voice, and she looked at Fry who was sitting on the entrance steps of the hospital.
"Many things are actually fine as long as there is a good way to vent. It's okay, Niya!"
Niya nodded, and walked to the cemetery in the backyard accompanied by Olivia and Xiong Dabiao.
"Here."
Soon, under the illumination of the lighting that Fry turned on, Olivia found a place with a colorful rope as a dividing line. There were six black long cylindrical urns neatly placed on it, and there were many flowers next to it. Niya put down the bouquet, sat cross-legged on the ground, and watched quietly.
"Sorry!"
After a long time, Niya uttered two words.
"Have you thought about what to do next?"
Niya asked, Xiong Dabiao shook his head, and Olivia turned around.
"I called everyone here tonight just to have a good talk with everyone."
Nia actually had an idea. She asked her mother to take out some money, open a company, and then let everyone come together, because to be honest, everyone's life is not easy now.
After a while, Niya and the others returned to the front yard. A group of people said hello to Fry and left. Everyone walked on the avenue outside the hospital, heading towards the bustling area. Everyone remained silent along the way.
"Tell me, Olivia, what do you want to do by calling everyone together!"
Xiong Dabiao spoke first, and everyone stopped. This was a neighborhood with almost no lights. It was a bit dark, and only the lights on the busy streets not far away and a street lamp not far away illuminated it.
Olivia nodded. She actually had the idea a long time ago to gather everyone together and do something together, because the mutants have not had a good life in the past few years, but now the policy has changed, and the mutants' rampage that happened before also made everyone feel worried, because they are like a bomb with an uncertain time, and problems may occur at any time.
But after the Operations Department announced some of the Hillman family's crimes, most people felt relieved, because those mutants who suddenly went berserk were caused by taking drugs developed by the Hillman family that would make the mutants violent. At the beginning, there were some rumors in society that the Operations Department was deliberately taking advantage of the Hillman family's huge crimes to blame everything on the Hillman family.
However, throughout last year, not a single case of mutants going berserk occurred, the voices of doubt disappeared, and those rumors were self-defeating.
"How about we set up a mutant guild? The guild will be responsible for taking orders, doing things within our capabilities, and then taking 20% of the fees to maintain the guild's expenses in all aspects, and the rest will be divided according to the number of people. Welfare guarantee.”
Olivia said, and many people nodded, but some people still objected, because this is equivalent to asking everyone to give up their current work and start over, but it is no longer the past, when everyone has been separated for so long.
"I don't force you to do anything. If you are willing, you can contact me at any time. Dabiao and I have found a place with a monthly rent of 5,000 yuan. It is an underground warehouse. If it is renovated, it can be used for business purposes. The bar and other places can be divided into separate rooms for everyone. The space is enough to accommodate at least 100 people. I just hope everyone will consider it. "
"Forget it Olivia, at this time"
Before Eric finished speaking, Olivia spoke.
"It is precisely because at this time that we can freely choose everything, the city needs a different mutant guild."
As soon as Olivia finished speaking, many people understood.
Most of the mutant guilds now work with money. Many mutant guilds have become thugs of some gangs, and the supervision of the business department is no longer as strong as before.
"Don't you think it's cool? We are free to do everything according to our own will. We may not be able to do anything big, but there are too many people in this city who need help. Didn't we just help each other in the past? With help, did we become friends in the end?”
Olivia said, and many people's faces were moved. In the past, when they were still building lightning, a group of people would often take action against some injustices, or help some people in difficulty.
"This is the reason why we gathered in the past. Because everyone upheld kindness, we were able to gather together and take a good look at what this city is like now! It has become the same as before."
"We are not the protagonists in the comics!"
Someone murmured something, and many people laughed for a while. Everyone really liked reading Parastan's comic "Special War Zero". This is not a simple funny comic.
"When the city needs some people to stand up, if no one does anything and no one is willing to stand up, the city will be finished!"
Olivia said, and Nia looked at her blankly.
"The sun in this city has sunk into darkness!"
Olivia said and looked at Nia.
"I have actually always admired your sister, Niya. After she left, what has the city become in just one year? Although we can't change anything, we can at least gather together and do something, just like that As said in the cartoon, there is no such thing as a hero, there are only ordinary people, but it is because of ordinary people who stand up that there are so-called heroes. "
Niya choked up and everyone was silent. Xiong Dabiao laughed and patted his forehead.
"Doing what we can, I think this is our original intention, and doing something different from other mutant guilds is our future goal."
Olivia said, when someone raised their hands.
"Count me in."
More and more people raised their hands. Eric was still hesitating, and Niya didn't raise her hand either. She looked at her feet in confusion, and her breathing began to become rapid.
"Of course, in order to be able to do all this, what we need is power, the power to transcend the past. Only when we use this power correctly will we be able to do what we are capable of."
Olivia said and glanced at everyone. She had received help from everyone here, especially during her painful years. It was because of everyone's laughter and help that she was able to cross the border. Came here.
Finally, Eric also raised his hand, and finally everyone looked at Nia, who seemed to be still struggling with something.
"Do something your sister has never done before, Nia. This may be the only way you can surpass your sister Alpha. Do you want to try it?"
Niya's eyes widened, her limp body regained strength unconsciously, and there was a fire in her heart.
"What on earth can I do?"
"Just like Zero in the comics, when managers are doing nothing, it's time for us to take action."
Nia raised her head, raised her clenched fists little by little, and Olivia grabbed Nia's wrist.
"We're going to a place now that I've always wanted to see, the place where you lost your friends and your sister, the place where we lost our friends."
Nia stared at Olivia seriously.
"What on earth can I do!"
"As always, that's fine. In the past, didn't you act first before speaking?"
There were bursts of laughter from all around, Niya looked at everyone awkwardly, Xiong Dabiao nodded.
"This is also to change ourselves. Okay, let's go, everyone buy some wine and have a nice drink after we pass by."
A bunch of people cheered, and everyone looked very good at this time, when Olivia spoke.
"In order to avoid starving to death, I think we should start with our major, construction, save money for a few months, and then officially start."
Eric sighed.
"But first, starting from the morning after tomorrow, we have to exercise every morning. We must have a strong body. The next time we encounter any situation, we will not be helpless!"
Papapapa
At this time, a burst of clapping came from an alley.
"This is our special coach, her name is Rose, she is a very strong person."
Niya looked at Rose who came out of the alley in astonishment.
"Why are you..."
Rose winked at Niya, and Niya closed her mouth.
"Isn't this the tomboy boss of the store where you work?"
As soon as Eric said a word, he was lying on the ground in an instant, and Rose was standing next to Eric.
"Boy, if you dare to say this word again, next time it won't be as simple as lying on the ground."
Eric looked at Rose in surprise, and everyone around felt incredible, because just now, the woman's strength, speed and explosive power were all things they had never seen before.
"Let's go, boys, I'll have a good drink with you tonight and see what your quality is like in an instant!"
Niya was a little surprised, because although she had heard about this god from her sister and parents, they were only a few words and had never heard anything about this god.
A bunch of people behind her were talking, which seemed a bit noisy. Rose walked in front. She didn't know why she came to guide this group of little brats, but Gene's previous words gave Rose no reason to refuse.
"Why would you?"
Niya asked in a low voice, Rose smiled, took out a cigarette, lit it and handed it to Niya.
"Maybe I feel a little guilty towards your sister, or maybe something else!"
Rose didn't continue. She did feel a little guilty towards Alpha. This was something that all six people except Gene felt. She also felt a little sorry for the Angus family. Perhaps this was the reason why Rose was willing to teach these young people.
"If you have time, let Ling Hong teach you, little girl. She should be the same type of combat mutant as you. Compared with your sister who is not very good at teaching, she has a lot of experience in teaching people."
Nia was silent, not knowing what to say, and then she asked.
"If one day, I mean one day, you solve most of the problems, can my sister..."
Rose shook her head.
"You have to ask your kind uncle Gene for this!"
Rose knew very well that she couldn't answer this question. What Alpha did was now known to the whole city, just like the Hydra case in the past. If she came out early, it would be fatal to the laws of Brilliant City.
Because everything Alpha did was absolutely not allowed by law. This was not what a person in a civilized era should do.
When the Hillman family's criminal records were placed in front of Rose, not only Rose, but also several other gods were shocked, because a lot of research data on high-energy photons were found underground in the Hillman family's industry. If the Hillman family is allowed to develop for another two or three years, they will be able to develop photon nuclear weapons, which will pose a huge threat to the city. The damage caused to the entire city by their family's AI Prometheus is also huge.
The current chaotic economy has a lot to do with what Prometheus did after Eddie's death.
The times have begun to change drastically and uncontrollably. Rose knows very well that the city will continue to fall and will not stop until it reaches the lowest point.
A new generation of young people will take the stage and start their own era. Rose just wants to do something for the next era.
0 o'clock
January 3
A new day has come again, and the streets in various parts of the city are still bustling. From the first 0 o'clock of the New Year to 0 o'clock on the 5th, it is the busiest season. Although many people have spent the whole year in the pessimism of the sharp economic decline in the past year, they have found some hope in the prosperity and bustle of the New Year.
Everyone just wants to forget those unpleasant things and welcome the new year.
On a street, several men who had just had a drink and were about to go home were discussing something, but the next second, a large number of people from Section 5 suddenly rushed out from both sides. Several people panicked and wanted to escape, but they were caught in less than a few minutes.
"Sir, we didn't commit a crime"
"Stop talking nonsense and show your identity information."
The five men who were caught were a little panicked. These five men in their 20s had not registered their personal information and were illegal residents.
Afterwards, several people were arrested and soon taken to a management car. The regional officers of Section 5 on the scene breathed a sigh of relief.
"We have enough people in our district this month. We need to keep a close eye on some illegal residents. If there are more orders from above, we need to gather enough people by then."
A bunch of team leaders nodded immediately, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The Operations Department had been asking those illegal residents to turn themselves in and register their information since half a year ago, but most of them were unwilling to do so because no one wanted to pay taxes, and there were also restrictions on citizenship levels.
There are still nearly 1 million illegal households in the city. The next step of the Operation Department is to check these illegal households. The date set by the Operation Department is December 31. If illegal households are arrested in the future, they will be dealt with according to the Expulsion Law.
The Expulsion Law has a most important conviction standard. People who are unwilling to contribute to society but enjoy social resources are not qualified to stay in the city.
On the morning of the 8th, the first batch of people expelled from the city will be gathered at the guard station. Among them are some criminals who voluntarily give up their citizenship rights in the Brilliant City, illegal households, and some vicious criminals.
These people will be sent to four guard stations and then expelled from the city. However, many of the arrested illegal households do not know that the five illegal households sitting in the management car are still talking and laughing at this time, because they have been arrested in the past, and the identity information they logged in is all fake. This time they also think that they will only be sent to the farm to do physical work for a few months. These people have already discussed the means to deal with the Operation Department, and they all have some fake names and birthplaces.
Most of the illegal households do not want to be regulated. In fact, many of them have a high monthly income. Because they are illegal households, they can help some gangs to do things in the gray area and earn a good income.
They can help some companies to avoid taxes and avoid some qualification reviews of the Operation Department.
The problem of illegal households has always existed. Now the number of illegal households is relatively high among young people.
The Operation Department wants to make some illegal households surrender themselves through this expulsion. This is the biggest purpose of the Operation Department.
"By the way, sir, what will happen to us?"
An illegal household said, took out some money from his pocket and handed it to a clerk in Section 5 in front of him. He put it away and sighed.
"You can only wish for the best. This time the Operation Department is not joking."
"Expulsion?"
The man asked doubtfully, and the other few people became nervous for a while. The clerk of Section 5 nodded.
"I didn't say anything. You just need to know."
For a while, the five illegal households still didn't believe it, but their faces were full of anxiety.
"Sir, please help us find a solution. We can pay for it."
An illegal resident said.
"Help you find a solution? Don't be ridiculous. I still have a wife and children."
The clerks in front laughed. They all knew that this expulsion was for real. It was not to pardon some people just because of the large number of people. The people above had already decided.
Most illegal residents have criminal records. They can always be seen in some surveillance, but they just don't want to log in their personal information.
"Sir, I really beg you, think of a solution. How about we pay for others to replace us? I know a place where illegal residents live."
One person suggested, and a team leader was a little tempted.
"How much?"
"Do you think 1,000 yuan is okay?"
An illegal resident said, and the team leader said after thinking for a while.
"2000 per person, cash required, I can help you arrange it right away, after all, you are the last 5 people, and the number of people required for each district is 100."
Several men nodded immediately, but one of them still thought that these guys might just want money and deliberately made it up, so he didn't agree on the spot.
"Then there is no way, no more waiting."
The car slowly stopped at an alley, and soon the four people returned to the basement where they lived in the alley and took out the corresponding money. The team leader directly asked them to lead the way and go in to arrest people.
The man who was still handcuffed in the car still refused to take out 2000, because he always felt it was impossible.
"It shouldn't be possible, so many people were expelled."
