Chapter 1411: The Edge of Collapse: Blood and Sand 3 Part 1(1/3)
1 p.m. sharp
Helicopters kept landing and taking off in the northern sky. Under the sky were a large number of members of the administrative department wearing black uniforms. The ruins were being cleared, and corpses were being carried out one after another. This disaster was
The most serious man-made disaster since the founding of Bright City.
The number of the dead is constantly being refreshed on the Congress channel, rising at a very fast rate. Congress has announced the cause of the investigation. This accident is due to the 12 sets of mutant genes carried in the bodies of most mutants, which are like time bombs.
Caused by the many incidents of mutant rampage that occurred in society last year, we came to a conclusion that would frighten most ordinary people.
The 12 sets of mutated genes in the mutant's body will begin to become unstable as the mutant grows older. Such mutations have a cycle, and this cycle is 20 years.
Comprehensive injections of life-span vaccines began in 2205. Based on a bunch of past data, it can be determined that the 12 sets of unstable alien genomes in the mutated people's bodies have begun to mutate.
In recent years, the number of cases of mutants going berserk has been significantly increasing, and today it has reached its peak. There are 3,891 mutants going berserk, almost destroying the entire northern block, and even the headquarters of Section 3 and Section 5.
Two districts were also hit hard.
Section 4 has released a lot of data, and currently some mutants who have shown early symptoms of berserk have been detained and are receiving treatment.
What shocked everyone the most was that the secretary of Section 5, Jill, also died due to the problem of going berserk, as well as many members of Section 5's management team and mutants from Section 3. Shocking news was announced one after another.
Sadness has begun to spread from the north. Although Congress has repeatedly emphasized that it reassures ordinary people that a solution has been found and that drugs to stabilize the alienated genomes of mutants will soon be developed, there is a new round of denunciation of mutants.
It's already started.
But these denunciations are also mixed with strange voices, because the longevity vaccine was developed under the leadership of the gods. From beginning to end, it was Locke who spoke on behalf of Congress, but the gods remained silent.
“Does God really exist?”
On the side of the street, a man who was walking and watching the news murmured to himself that in this large-scale mutant rampage, more than 10,000 people died. Fortunately, the place where the rampage occurred was in the sparsely populated north.
The organized evacuation operation is more timely. Now a large number of mutants and ordinary residents in the north have gathered on the streets near Section 3 and Section 5. Section 3 has begun to set up some temporary resettlement sites for those who have suffered the disaster.
People have a place to stay for the time being.
All walks of life in the city have also begun to get busy. What ordinary people see from this large-scale disaster is a worrying and anxious future, but many businessmen see business opportunities.
Many businessmen have taken the initiative to donate some materials to the residents in the north, and many donated materials have been transported to the north. Even if a large number of mutants are stationed in the north, the population is still less than 300,000, and now
The northern part of the country, which was almost completely destroyed, will inevitably begin to rebuild in the future. A new round of business growth has been sensed by many businessmen. In addition, Angus Construction has been almost destroyed under the impact of this incident.
Sexual blow.
Many businessmen know that this is the best opportunity to quickly seize the market. Some businessmen have spontaneously united, skipping the parliamentarians and administrative departments, and are preparing to get good cards in this round of reshuffle.
"The city is out of control!"
Wu Qun lowered his head with a bitter expression. Everyone gathered at Freya's house. Opposite Freya, her belly was bulging. Her third child was about to be born.
The atmosphere in Freya's private living room was extremely solemn. No one said anything. The one who was most upset was probably Wu Qun. The regional economic mobility plan he planned had come to an end.
It is inevitable that the eight major associations will lose control. The events in the north have had a great impact. Many businessmen in the eight major associations have invested in the north. If they want to make the economy grow slowly and steadily, the only way is to divide the industry and divide the entire industry.
The industries in the city are divided evenly and closely, so that the economy can grow slowly and the city will be more stable.
At such an important time, such a serious problem happened in the north. Most of the businessmen who invested in the north suffered serious losses. Now the members of the major associations are appeasing those who have invested in the north.
Businessmen who were on the verge of ruin due to disaster.
Businessmen have gathered together, hoping that the association can give a clear explanation, but no one knows what to do now.
This group of businessmen who entered the north were introduced under the coordination and detailed investigation of the eight major associations, in order to make the city's economic growth more even. Wu Qun's next step is economic mobility within the region.
Plans have been prepared.
Once the city's economy begins to be evenly distributed, this plan can effectively control the rapid growth of capital and steadily boost everything in the city, but all this has failed.
Both members of Congress and the executive branch will face unprecedented difficulties in the face of this disaster.
The gods have issued a temporary city meeting, starting at 8 o'clock tomorrow night, to discuss this disaster and finally find an effective solution.
"I won't go to tomorrow's meeting!"
Wu Qun said with a wry smile, and Freya looked at him with a solemn expression.
"I don't want to go either."
Beckinsale said with a smile. She stood up and walked to the window and lit a cigarette. All walks of life may now be plunged into a new round of reshuffle, and the city's situation will become worse than ever.
The city was finally lifted up, and everything in the city began to become orderly. Many problems would become more and more reasonable if they continued to plan, but now everyone has to watch the city collapse again.
Such a collapse is already obvious. Society will become unstable due to the impact of this disaster, and a new round of economic depression will quickly spread in cities.
"I said it from the beginning! If you can't follow the process of the law, many things will get out of control. Why don't you all listen?"
Pullman said, Lin Xiao shook his head.
"It is useless to say this now. Speaking of Pullman, although we are trying to persuade you, in the end it is you who chose to compromise."
Pullman was about to speak, but he swallowed the words when they came to his lips, because what Lin Xiao said was the truth. Over the years in the city, the eight people had done a lot of things that went beyond the law in private, and the businessmen and businessmen
People have conducted many behind-the-scenes transactions.
Everyone is lying. This is a very serious problem that all eight people are aware of at this moment. The city is already overwhelmed. It is difficult to see some light. Now this only light has disappeared again.
Obviously, everyone had the enthusiasm to shoulder the responsibility of this city at the beginning and threw themselves into the torrent of power, but unknowingly, everything has begun to deteriorate, and money and power have created a lot of lies.
"Maybe Alpha is right."
Beckinsale said with an annoyed smile, and Wang Ying nodded.
"It's too late to say anything now."
Over the years, many things Alpha has done have ended up being peaceful, and they are inseparable from the eight major associations, because everyone wants stability. Only with stable development can the city continue to exist, and Alpha's actions have always undermined stability.
In order to maintain the stability of the city, the eight major associations have always rejected the high-pressure policies of Section 5 over the years. This rejection has begun to create a sense of resistance. In order to maintain stability, the parliamentarian factions are protecting the interests of businessmen, because
Only when businessmen make profits can they carry out more business activities and feed more people.
"It's too late to say anything now. We can only wait until tomorrow."
Chris said, Freya stood up.
"No matter what the outcome is, as long as there is something we can do, I will continue."
All seven people looked at Freya. Her expression was sad and her brows were furrowed. Everyone knew that the city would begin to usher in a period of chaos again.
1:18pm
Located in the banquet hall on the ground floor of the Hillman family, all members of the Hillman family gathered in the banquet hall. Everyone's expressions were joyful. Eddie stood on the stage with a smile.
"I will formally submit an application tomorrow night."
In an instant, there were cheers and applause. Some people knew that the time for the Hillman family to truly reach the top was coming, while other people on the periphery of the Hillman family knew that the next step was for the Hillman family to make a lot of money.
An era of great profit.
Eddie smiled and picked up the wine glass beside him, and everyone stood up with their wine glasses in hand.
"Cheers to the greatness of our Hillman family!"
Eddie looked at the family members with great excitement. The long-standing plan finally came to fruition. Now the actual controllers of the city were not gods, not the executive branch, and certainly not the councillors.
Just now, Eddie has received letters of intent for cooperation from four large families except the Phoebes, Angus, and Su families.
The Huosen family, Chen family, Wang family and Jiang family finally realized that the congressmen were unreliable. If they did not take the lead themselves but relied on these congressmen, life and death would be largely in the hands of the other party.
Eddie has responded to the cooperation intention of the four major families, and other large and small families have moved closer. This incident has a very big impact on the entire city, not only the businessmen of the family, but also the big families.
Some businessmen in the city have already sent applications for cooperation intentions to the Hillman family.
This is what Prometheus has calculated long ago, and has even screened out in advance who to cooperate with to increase the success rate of the Hillman family's huge plan.
"Please have a great time today, for the great future of our Hillman family!"
Eddie was immersed in a wonderful emotion, holding a wine glass and looking at the jubilant family members below, and how everyone was in awe of him. For Eddie, this feeling was the best, the first time
He felt such beauty when Eddie killed his father with his own hands and took over the position of patriarch of the Hillman family.
"Please continue to contribute to the Hillman family. The future belongs to our Hillman family."
Eddie said, his eyes glanced at Ran Yu and Lani, mother and son. The two people did not look at him. This seemed a bit unharmonious in Eddie's eyes. The mother and son had been acting strangely recently, every time they went out.
, always trying to get rid of the bodyguards, Eddie has already issued a grounding order for the mother and son, and they are not allowed to leave Hillman Manor.
Eddie walked through the banquet hall and walked slowly to the main entrance of the mansion. As soon as he walked out of the main entrance, Eddie felt a chill. He looked to the opposite side. Although he didn't see anything, he could feel a sense of hostility.
, Eddie walked to the lawn.
