8 a.m.
Le Xiao got up from the bed. She just celebrated her 26th birthday last night.
"Work hard!"
Every morning Le Xiao would raise her hands and shout these, then quickly get up, run to the bathroom of the small apartment, get some water and wipe her face, then rinse her mouth, wipe it with a towel, and smile in the mirror.
.
Humph! Today is also an ordinary day, but we have to work hard.
Lexiao just celebrated Wan's 26th birthday. Today she went to the middle-level circular street to look for news. If she couldn't find any interesting news, Le Xiao's job index this month would be on the line of dismissal.
This is already the ninth job that Le Xiao has found. After quickly changing her clothes, Le Xiao came to the mirror again and pressed down her raised hair. At this time, the phone rang. Le Xiao hurried over and it was her mother who called.
Come.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
"Are you really okay?"
Although Le Xiao was embarrassed, she still said confidently.
"No problem Mom."
"Hey, I really can't go back to the ground floor and do something..."
Lexiao coughed.
"Mom, I'm going to be late for work."
Le Xiao said and hung up the phone. She didn't want to go back to the bottom floor. As long as she worked harder, she should be fine.
9 a.m.
Following a violent roar, Jean stood quietly at the door of a smoke-filled room, leaning against the wall. There were roars from inside, and then a shirtless man rushed out with a gun.
He looked around, and when he saw Jean, he pointed his gun at him.
boom
The gun rang out, but the next second the man watched in horror as the bullet next to Jean's head was decomposed bit by bit under the blue light, and then disappeared into particles. He was trembling in horror.
"Tell me what you know sir."
Jean said and held down the man's hand with one hand. The gun in the man's hand fell to the ground, sweat oozing from his forehead. Jean looked at the gun in his hand and did not find any serial number.
"Sir, your attack on the section chief with a gun is already a very serious crime. I have the right to execute you on the spot."
Gene said and threw the gun aside, then took out a cigarette. The man was almost crying. He squatted on the ground and held his head.
"I'm from the Barrier Area. Do you know where that is? Mr. Jean."
Jean smiled easily and looked at the personnel from Section 5 who had arrived. Jean raised his hands, but they stood far away and did not come over.
Jean has been tracing this line for a while, and now he has finally found a key point. Too many hijackings and riots have occurred in the city recently, all caused by these people who sneaked into the city's barrier area.
The city has reached a subtle stage again, and many things surging in the dark are about to break through the darkness and come to the world under the sun.
The man on the ground began to explain, and Gene listened quietly. He looked extremely scared and extremely self-blame.
"That's all I know."
Gene blew out a puff of smoke and then smiled.
"Thank you, sir. You will be sent directly to prison. You will face at least 30 years in prison. Of course, you can also choose to go to the barrier area after a period of imprisonment."
The man completely collapsed and sat on the ground and cried loudly. At this time, people from Section 5 came over. Jean looked at the ring street not far away. According to the man's explanation, there was a mutant from the barrier area today.
There was a commotion on the ring street, and Jean planned to go over there and stay on guard.
After Gene handed the man to Section 5, he jumped directly to the rooftop opposite, lit a cigarette again, and looked at the city in the distance in the sun.
"Time flies really fast."
Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye, and the city was at a time like this again before he knew it. Jean could no longer remember how many times this happened, and the investigation almost reached a dead end.
Who are the people behind the scenes who are trying to subvert the city? When did they start planning? Unable to know all this, Jean has been a little impatient recently, but fortunately he has found a breakthrough.
In the past 20 years, the city has been developing rapidly, and the access rate of light and shadow materials has reached 90%. Only the outer circle of the bottom layer has not yet been fully connected.
However, the material of light and shadow is still unbearable for the people at the bottom. There is still not much change at the bottom, and many slums have appeared. This is not what Jean wants to see.
In recent years, Jean has been actively promoting the plan to establish an agricultural and animal husbandry base in the barrier area. Unfortunately, the city's economy does not allow it. It is extremely difficult to promote it. Ye Chunwang has successfully cultivated it using soil dug from some places in the barrier area.
crop.
It is very difficult to pass this bill. Jean submitted this bill five years ago, but it was almost unanimously rejected. The time agreed with several other guys only had twenty years left.
Gene couldn't find any solution when the phone rang.
"Come over for a drink tonight?"
Niya's voice came, and Gene thought for a moment before agreeing.
At this time, sirens rang out on the circular street in the distance, and Jean ran over quickly.
A few minutes later, Jean stood on the roof, looking at the mutant who had used flames to destroy some facilities and take hostages. Jean waited quietly. People from Section 5 had surrounded the scene. They also
He was waiting for the people from the special management team to come over, but it was obvious that this mutant would not wait any longer.
Now Gene is even more convinced that their purpose is to stir up trouble and spread panic everywhere in the city, and find opportunities to break the balance of the city through such things that can cause panic.
Jean was still looking at the mutants from the barrier area below who kept saying things that could stir the hearts of others, but these things were meaningless to Jean.
He quickly threw away the hostage at hand, and released a beam of intense flames towards the Section 5 personnel who had already set up their shields, and then ejected out. Jean stood up and fell down instantly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The crowd dispersed, and a woman slumped on the ground seemed to be frightened. Jean had already dealt with the mutant in front of him, and without talking to him any more nonsense, Jean turned around
, stretched out his hand to this woman.
The girl in front of him looked very young. Jean seemed to have seen this girl before. He stretched out his hand to help the girl on the ground.
Then, amid the surprised look of the girl and the shouts of many women around him, Jean left.
However, Jean soon realized that the girl had a tracker on her body. Jean didn't care and walked leisurely on the street. Tianai was here this morning to promote a product. Jean had already contacted her.
She made an appointment to meet in the park.
Along the way, Jean discovered that the girl had followed him. After entering an alley, Jean quickly jumped onto the roof. After a while, Jean came to the park, stared at Houtian Ai for a while, and ran away.
come over.
"How about we have dinner together tonight?"
Jean smiled and told Tian Ai that he had agreed to Niya's invitation, and Tian Ai immediately said that he was going too.
"Where's Hawke?"
Gene asked, Tian Ai told Gene that Hawke was nearby. At this time, Gene also noticed the girl who was following and hiding in the bushes not far away. He immediately turned around and went to the edge of the grass in an instant. The girl looked like
Very panicked, Jean took her hand.
"Miss, it's bad behavior to take secret photos, and I'm afraid you won't be able to buy lunch today if you come here at this time."
It was just Jean's actions that made Tian Ai instantly show hostility to the little girl in front of him. After a while, Jean took out an orange. This is the latest product of the 12th family. The fruit will be on the market soon. People in the city
Everyone should be very happy.
An orange resolved the impending quarrel.
"Be careful next time, Miss, the bug has been returned to you."
Jean returned the tracker to the girl, then turned around and left with Tian Ai, leaving only the dazed girl who was still there savoring the fruit.
Jean has been hanging around the Tianai commercial shooting scene all day long. The interrogation will begin tomorrow, and Jean plans to go to Section 2 tomorrow.
In the evening, I drank with Niya until 1 o'clock in the morning, and then Gene left.
In the dark night, Jean shuttled between the rooms. He just wanted to find a little something. On the streets that were still lively at night, Jean was still investigating.
The current situation in the city makes Jean more and more impatient. He is already a little tired. The only thing he can do is to prevent the city from collapsing again.
This feeling of powerlessness drove Jean to keep running, and his inner resistance to the mechanized era became weaker and weaker, because there was nothing he could do.
Gene really wants to be like the other guys and continue to be so leisurely every day. After this matter is resolved, Gene will consider retirement.
To be continued...
