Chapter 60 Confrontation 10 (Part 2)

2 a.m.

The streets were still crowded with people, many of whom were celebrating the money they won in the mutant competition. A coughing sounded, and many people avoided a thin man wrapped in a black windbreaker, because he coughed all the way and looked sick for a long time.

The man quickly disappeared into an alley, and the coughing sound gradually faded away. Soon the man stopped, pulled down the collar of his windbreaker, and looked at Akimi, who was leaning against the wall in front of him, holding his hands, wearing a plaid suit. He had gray hair on his temples and a small round hat.

"The situation is not optimistic."

"Marcus, the situation has always been not optimistic, right?"

Marcus walked over and stood beside Akimi. Yesterday's white incident had spread, and the creators had held an emergency meeting. Shadow was arrested, which was very unfavorable for the creators. Although Shadow did not know the core secret, the Operations Department would notice the existence of Shadows, and the creator's system would be exposed.

The formation of Shadows has always been the responsibility of two people. They are responsible for training Shadows. Among the entire creator, only Fry knows the true identity of Shadows except for them.

Today's meeting was terrible. Many members said that they must use tough means to kill the captured shadow, but until the argument reached the point where the shadow was arrested, there was still no result.

And the most important thing is that under the heavy siege of the Operations Department, there were several secretaries present, and there was no way to kill the shadow.

"What should I do, Akimi, I think it's time to say goodbye to them."

Akimi smiled and shook his head.

"It's not time yet."

Marcus laughed evilly and shook his head.

"Fry is dead."

Akimi nodded. The two had already done NDA testing on the current Fry. Although this clone Fry was very smart, it just couldn't escape the eyes of these two medical experts.

The two had always pretended not to know. The reason why they cooperated with the Creator was only because the Creator was established by Fry. The two still believed in Fry, but now Fry is dead, they have no reason to stay in the Creator.

This Creator organization is currently collapsing. Although it had been prepared before the war, the most critical core Fry was already dead. This is an extremely drastic change for the entire Creator.

If this continues, the creators will collapse. The most important thing is Lolita. Jielin does not seem to intend to tell others that Fry has died, and intends to keep it secret.

The two are not dissatisfied with the city, nor are they disappointed with the system, and they do not choose to leave the Department of Action to achieve a certain purpose.

The only thing they pursue is the research in their hands. The research of Marcus and Archime is absolutely not allowed in the city. Marcus only wants to make humans evolve further and adapt to the outside environment, while Archime only hopes to break through the limits of nanotechnology.

Their research has fallen into a point that others cannot understand many years ago, so the two retreated behind the scenes just to achieve their own goals.

Their ideas conflict with many of their former classmates in the Department of Action, so they can only leave. Marcus just wants to complete the research as soon as possible, then leave the city and go to the outside world.

And Archime is the same. After so many years of research, he found something very interesting. Those crystal creatures outside are not so much naturally generated as they are created by some unknown technology, which is very similar to nanotechnology.

After Archimedes further studied nanotechnology, he came to an astonishing conclusion that the crystal creatures outside were all made up of nanotechnology.

Only those who have a deep understanding of nanotechnology can see the outside world. It is not what you see with your eyes, but outside your sight. Some special instructions make nano-scale robots form the bodies of crystal animals, and then they execute certain orders and keep moving closer to the Brilliant City.

Archimedes is very clear about this. The gods know it, but they hide some things. These things are closely related to human evolution. This is the biggest secret in the Brilliant City, and it is also related to the life vaccine.

According to Archimedes' cell research on the gods, he has come to an astonishing conclusion that they are indeed no longer human. The particles that make up their current bodies can be regarded as huge individuals formed by countless nano-scale robots.

Such creatures are too incredible, or they can no longer be called creatures.

Archimedes has been studying these things in recent years and has achieved a lot of results.

Both of them have keenly sensed that the current creator is collapsing. Zhu Qicai died the day before yesterday, and Shadow was captured today. The two have been watching the city since its establishment, and they know that the power required for the city to collapse has reached its peak.

However, this power has begun to ease, and there is another reason why the two feel uneasy, that is, the AIs who have cooperated with them many times can clearly feel that these AIs are weaving destruction, and the so-called agreement does not exist at all.

The AIs have successfully evolved self-awareness, which has something to do with the X behind them. The two have never been able to understand the identity of X, but the gods must know the identity of X.

"I think we should wait and see for a while."

Akimi said, and Marcus laughed.

"It's useless to continue. Since the Operations Department wants Shadow, just give them all."

Akimi's face was solemn, and Marcus laughed.

"How do you think we can light this last flame?"

"Do we really want to do that?"

Marcus nodded.

"If we don't do this, the city will eventually fall into the hands of AIs."

Both of them thought so. Over the years, many things that happened in the city have a certain relationship with AIs. By the time the two of them reacted, AIs had buried too many things. AIs made all things continue to be promoted through such precise calculations.

"Let's wait and see for a while. If we really want to do it, at least wait until next year when the people from the Sky Space Country come to visit."

Marcus nodded.

"They should be very interested in what the Brilliant City has."

After the two smiled at each other, they turned around and left, and soon disappeared.

6:28 in the morning

The scorching sun has made the agricultural labor base hot. The sun temperature at this time of day is not so high, but now every morning when I get up, I sweat all over in a short while.

Xiong Dabiao yawned, looked at the bowl of eggs and buns in front of him, and began to eat. He didn't even peel the eggshells, and put the whole thing in his mouth to chew. Olivia beside him was carefully peeling the eggshells, not wanting to get a little bit of eggshells on him.

When Olivia ate the second egg, Xiong Dabiao had finished a bowl of breakfast. Several people sat over and chatted with Xiong Dabiao. Olivia kept staring at the couple Song Su and Gate not far away.

They were the end-point surveillance targets on the list of Section 2. When the two of them contacted them vaguely, Xiong Dabiao and Olivia reported the two people's contact with them to Section 2. Mo Xiaolan asked them to keep an eye on the couple.

Although the two did not reveal their true intentions, Gate and Song Suo vaguely revealed their hostility towards the Operation Department, and when they talked to them, they mostly talked about some bad things about the Operation Department.

Xiong Dabiao and Olivia were also very dissatisfied with the Operation Department, and their Lightning Skeleton Guild was famous for hating people in the Operation Department.

"Xiong Dabiao, get in the car quickly when you are full and go to work early."

A team leader of the 12th department came over and muttered, and Xiong Dabiao snorted coldly.

"Can't I take a break and drink some water?"

The team leader grinned.

"Now is the time when we need manpower, and we have already raised your salary."

Xiong Dabiao stood up. Now there are one-third fewer people working in the Agricultural Department, and this amount will continue to decline, because the bottom of the city is being built in large quantities. Basically, a worker can earn 100 yuan a day. Who is willing to work in the 12th department, which still only earns 500 yuan a month.

Xiong Dabiao and Olivia were the only exceptions. They did hundreds of times more work than others, and Section 12 had already given them the highest salary of 10,000 yuan a month.

Soon, the two got on different cars. As soon as Xiong Dabiao got on the car, Gate came over eagerly.

"Dabiao, didn't you eat enough this morning?"

Gate said with a smile, took out an egg from his pocket and handed it to Xiong Dabiao. Xiong Dabiao didn't hesitate to put it in his mouth. Gate took out another one and peeled it slowly.

"Thank you."

Xiong Dabiao muttered. At this time, in another car, Song Suo sat next to Olivia. Olivia supported her chin with her hand and looked out the window. Since Song Suo followed Olivia every day, others no longer dared to bully her, and Olivia would help her more or less when she was working.

The group of women who bullied Song Suo had left. Now, although Song Suo was a little tired every day, she was still very happy.

"Such a big thing happened in the city yesterday. My husband and I used to go to watch the mutant competition every year."

"Oh!"

Olivia was usually very cold to Song Suo. She might only reply one or two sentences out of ten, and they were all very brief.

"By the way, when the punishment period is over, how about we go to Phoebes Resort Hotel to play for a few days? I'll treat you."

Olivia did not refuse or nod, but closed her eyes. Song Suo smiled and closed her eyes. In the past few days, Song Suo felt that Olivia's attitude towards her had improved a lot. If she became friends with her gradually, she could start lobbying.

The car went all the way to the harvest land in the distance. It took half an hour to arrive. This was a rare rest time for people working here before starting to work. The workload was very heavy recently, and many people were a little overwhelmed.

Many people were looking forward to the expiration of their contracts and then going to the bottom to make money. Although agricultural labor had high overtime pay, many people would rather not have the money and just wanted to rest early.

"Da Biao, what do you think about what happened yesterday?"

"If I were there, I would definitely beat that bastard to death."

Xiong Da Biao said directly, and Gate smiled.

"That man must have encountered some misfortune to become a rioter."

"Who cares whether he is lucky or unfortunate? Who can live a smooth life? I must have suffered much more than that man when I was young."

Gate smiled awkwardly.

"Da Biao, you became a mutant a long time ago, how much hardship can you endure?"

Xiong Da Biao smiled.

"You don't know, I used to spend more than I earned every month, hey."

The two of them had a good relationship. Unlike Song Suo and Olivia, they talked and laughed all the way to the work site. Looking at the work in several sheds that needed to be harvested, Xiong Da Biao rolled up his sleeves, walked into a shed, and started working alone.

Although Xiong Da Biao looked rude, he was very careful and skilled when harvesting crops. As soon as Xiong Da Biao started working, the crops in the entire shed disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gate had been wanting to talk to Xiong Da Biao about going out to play together after the holiday. They had one day off a month, and Gate planned to have a few drinks with Xiong Da Biao, and discuss the city's problems with him when it was almost time.

It was just that there was little hope, because it seemed that although Xiong Da Biao hated people who acted in a childish way, he was not so easy to persuade.

Gate didn't want to give up the opportunity to attract talents for the Creator. After all, what they, the peripheral cadres, can do is to add as many talents as possible to the Creator.

The two had successfully persuaded many people to join the Creator in the past, but it was a little difficult this time.

Gate had discussed with Song Suo, and the breakthrough was Olivia. Gate only found out recently that Olivia used to be a member of the Operations Department, but she resigned and had suffered from severe depression. He had to look at Olivia every day when he ate and slept, and finally Olivia got better.

It's best to lobby by taking advantage of the most vulnerable part of others' hearts, but their relationship with Niya, the head of Section 5, made Gate feel a little uneasy, but they and Niya were not the same kind of people at all. If they were, many of them would have entered the Operations Department long ago.

Gate was halfway through, and a man came over and picked up the processed crops that he had put aside.

"Sir."

Gate just shouted and the man left. Gate looked at this man who always troubled him. He had been uncomfortable for a long time, but Gate still smiled casually.

The people from Section 11 were directing outside. At this time, the man who snatched Gate's harvested crops looked at Gate with a squint.

"You idiot who doesn't know that you have been targeted, it seems that death is not far away."
