Centuries ago, some scientists said that if one day cockroaches completely disappear from human society, then mankind will not be far from extinction. Jean quietly smoked a cigarette and looked at the people gathered around him, shouting and cursing. Some of them were older people he knew. These criminals who were once famous in the city also disappeared after entering the prison. Restlessness often caused various problems in prison, causing the sentence to change from limited to unlimited. In the end, most of them chose to go into exile. This kind of exile is probably worse than death, because they are not allowed to step into the Brilliant City for the rest of their lives, and they will be shot immediately if they do. Everything in the Barrier Zone is extremely harsh. For most people living here, the proportion of criminals born is not large, at most 15%, because the number of criminals exiled every year is recorded, and most of them are citizens. Those whose level has been reduced to 0 and who have no role in society will be completely eliminated by the existing society. Some are those who finally sink in the torrent of competition, while some are the type that give up on themselves. Gene has seen too many losers. Most of them blame this and that, and have never even thought of looking for the reasons from themselves. In fact, for most criminals, direct execution is the most direct method. Otherwise, these guys will need water, food and medicine to survive. Under the doomsday sky, this is a waste. It's just that Congress gave them the right to choose, work near the prison tower until they die of old age, apply for the death penalty, or choose to be exiled. Over the years, the number of people in the barrier zone has increased instead of decreasing. Another society has formed here, a cockroach-like society. Among the high-level people, many people make fun of the people in the barrier zone and live like cockroaches. The people living in the barrier area exist to make life better for the people in Bright City. This is a conclusion reached through the joint efforts of the 3rd Military Division and the 10th Scientific Research Division over the years. In addition to bringing the most important water resources, the air entering from the huge defensive barrier is not actually clean. The poisonous air in the long-destroyed world outside, although it claims to be purified and filtered, is actually poisonous.
The anti-waste coagulant vaccine was developed more than 20 years ago. It is a vaccine developed from special antibodies found in people living in the barrier area. This disease was very popular 20 years ago. People inhaled toxic After the air is released, fat will appear in the lungs. The enlargement of the lung lobes will affect breathing for a long time, and in severe cases, it can lead to death. The only method is surgery. After the fat in the lungs reaches a certain level, surgery to remove the fat will be performed. However, since the discovery in the barrier area After receiving special antibodies, the disease disappeared in Bright City. As long as the vaccine was injected, it would be fine. Especially on the outskirts of Bright City, the air has become cleaner after the invisible light and shadow filter walls were built. In recent years, according to air toxic monitoring data, toxic air has passed through the places where most residents of the barrier area live. Finally, the concentration of toxic substances in the air will be effectively reduced. There are many similar things. The residents of the Barrier Zone are indeed like cockroaches, able to survive in such a harsh environment. That’s why Congress made a decision more than 20 years ago to provide free education to all residents under the age of 10 in the Barrier Zone on a regular basis. Children were injected with special life-span vaccines, which extended their lifespan. From then on, a large number of mutants were born in the barrier zone. There were pros and cons, and the current armed forces were the biggest threat. "Bastard Jean, you tortured me so much when you were in the prison tower, and now you're here again, with old and new grudges. Get out of here, I'm going to beat you up." A guy with freckles, yellow hair and a big nose shouted. He was the boss of an armed group. Gene looked at him quietly. There were bursts of snickers from all around, and some even started to use the weapons in their hands. Do block. "I bet this guy can last 10 seconds." "I bet 5 seconds." However, before the gambling started, Gene stared at Big Nose who was gearing up. With a buzz, an invisible air flow hit Big Nose, and he instantly foamed at the mouth and fainted. "Haha, I didn't even last a second." Suddenly, there was a commotion all around, and Gene shouted in a loud voice. "Shut your stinky mouths. You don't have any questions. Just do as I say. Food, water and medicine will be delivered here at this time tomorrow. The only thing you need to do now is to come and register. " Cheers erupted for a moment, and the bosses of each force came over, and the people brought around watched from a distance. "Give me more, Gene. We have more than 1,000 people here. I can't explain this to my brothers." A wretched guy said with a smile, and others started to yell. "If you don't want it, go back." After a while, the bosses of 87 large and small groups were registered. Jean promised them corresponding material rations. Everyone was talking and laughing with peace of mind. No one seemed to question Jean, because many of them knew each other. Everyone in Gene knows that Gene does what he says. At this moment, Gene took out the phone, dialed Locke's number, and passed the registered record form over. "Hey Jean, I told you not to mess around. What do you want to do with so many supplies? Do you think these things are free?" Locke's dissatisfied voice came from the phone.
"Tell the guys in Congress that I will contact all the armed forces in the barrier area in the next few days and give them the supplies according to my requirements. At this time tomorrow, the supplies will be shipped over. I will give them to me no matter where they go to find them. We’ve got it all together, otherwise, I can just take care of it slowly when they rush into the city.” After Locke was silent for a while, he hummed in a depressed mood. After Gene hung up the phone, there were cheers from all around. "Jin, although you are a bastard, you are pretty good. Don't worry, we will tell the other guys to be careful. After all, we are not fools. After taking the things, we will not think about entering the city. Really It’s like what the wise old guy said.” Suddenly a guy said something, and several guys next to him covered his mouth. Gene glared at him and put his hand on his head. "That old guy is really restless." Then the cheers disappeared for a while. Gene glanced at the people around him and stood up, planning to leave. Someone invited Gene to drink together. "Go away, scum, wait outside the bridge tomorrow to get supplies." After a while, all the armed forces dispersed. Gene looked back at the brilliant city behind him, and streams of flames burst out from his sides. He realized from the beginning that things were not that simple. That wise man, The line drawn out for Jean allowed Jean to quickly find out a lot of things, and the movements of the armed forces in the barrier area were indeed the same as what the wise men had analyzed. They had all advanced to the vicinity of the bridge, and just as Zhang Wang went to speak, the armed forces who came over The number of forces also exceeded Jean's imagination. Originally, Jean thought that a maximum of 50 groups would be good, but unexpectedly 87 groups came. The old man of the wise man wants to inform the barrier area by means of the prisoners in the prison tower choosing to be exiled, and many of these criminals are the former subordinates of the wise man. "This time, I'll let you make a big deal. There will be no next time." Jean said that many people in the town had gathered again. It was very cost-effective for Jean to stabilize the armed forces in the barrier area in exchange for supplies. Killing could not solve any problems and would only aggravate the resistance. "Lord Jean, please save us, we are almost unable to survive." For a while, many people were talking about the suffering they had encountered. Gene stood up, raised his head and blew out a puff of smoke. "If you can persist until you establish a food base in the barrier area, you will be saved. It is a joke to ask others to save you. If you are still valuable, just live well for me, and one day the sun will shine here. .” Jean left slowly, and many people in the town smiled, because the food base was about to be established, which was good news for the people in the barrier area, and these words came from Jean's mouth. As soon as they arrived outside the town, a motorcycle drove over. He Min smiled and placed the motorcycle in front of Gene. "Come up, Sir Jean, I will take you to the south." Gene nodded and said with a smile. "Let me drive you." The motorcycle started running wildly on the road, and He Min hugged Jean's waist tightly. The wind and sand were very strong, but He Min couldn't feel the slightest bit of wind and sand at this time, because she knew that the wind and sand had been blocked by the strong and gentle man in front of her. Although it was only temporary, He Min soon fell asleep peacefully. I don’t know how long she had slept, but Le Xiao woke up from her sleep to a knock on the door. After the door opened, Mana walked in, holding a lot of fingernail-sized things in her hand, dozens of them, ranging from six to six years old. The angular shape looks like weapons, as well as some round special liquid-form substances. "Put these things on you." Le Xiao immediately showed resistance, Mana said with a smile. "You put it in yourself and try to be as natural as possible, otherwise if I do something and stuff something into some weird hole in your body, I won't be responsible." Le Xiao was shocked before she got down from the bed leisurely. "Move quickly." "I don't think what you're doing is the right thing to do."
Le Xiao began to stick these things on the surface of her skin. She had read various investigative reports about Sanlian Company's special liquid food. It was true that Congress had shielded them. Le Xiao became angry when she thought of this. I have been eating special liquid food for more than 3 years. If this kind of thing broke out, the city would instantly fall into riots, but Le Xiao always felt that something was wrong. "You don't need to say anything about what we are doing. Everything is for the weak in this city. No matter how dirty the methods are, what we do is far better than that group of scum in the Chamber of Commerce." "If you do this, you will only let" Before Le Xiao could finish speaking, Mana suddenly pressed Le Xiao down on the table and pulled out a square razor-like machine from the light and shadow bracelet. Le Xiao shouted in panic. . "Don't move it. If it gets crooked, I won't be responsible." Colorful light flowed out from the metal mesh on the top of the square machine, and a two-headed snake pattern was reflected on Lexiao's arm. Zi A puff of black smoke came out, accompanied by the smell of burnt skin. Lexiao screamed, and tears rolled down her eyes. After asking Mana, she quickly curled up in the corner and looked at her left arm. She had a tattoo of a two-headed snake on her body. She broke out in a cold sweat, and a chill continued to rise on her back. "You can leave later and go to the hotel we designated for you. There is still more than one day. Don't think about contacting anyone, because you are now a member of us. You should be in the Crisis Analysis and Countermeasures Section of the Second City. You've seen a lot of things here. If you don't want to spend the rest of your life in prison, just be obedient. I heard that prisons are mixed for men and women. What will happen to women in prison? What do you think?" With Mana's laughter, Le Xiao curled up. "What's the difference between your approach and that group of profit-seeking businessmen?" The door closed and Le Xiao cried silently. She now understood what the other party was doing. Because of Congress's tough approach to the rioters, as long as they were branded with such a tattoo, they would not be able to get away with the crime. A picture of herself walking on the dark Bridge of Weeping appeared in Le Xiao's mind. She was finished. No matter what happened in the end, all the bleak things in her mind followed Jean. The words sounded in Le Xiao's head. Xiao was very happy and let her go, and explained what happened the day after tomorrow. She returned to the street again. The sunset slanted on Le Xiao's haggard face. She sniffed and went to a commercial store located on the upper floor. As soon as she entered the hotel in the district, Le Xiao took out her light and shadow bracelet and looked at Jean's number on it. Her hands were trembling and her heart was bleeding. Various rumors about Jean are echoing in Le Xiao's head, but the most common among these rumors is that Jean is a gentleman who keeps his word. No one knows what the special 13 subjects are. There are only a lot of rumors. This is Le Xiao's gamble on her own destiny. If she loses, she will have nothing, just like the two-headed snake brand on her arm. "What's wrong Le Xiao, it should be past dinner time." A gentle voice came from the phone, and Le Xiao burst into tears. It was not until a long time later that Le Xiao told Jean everything she had experienced in the past few days, but a hearty voice came from the other end. laughter. "Silly boy, you didn't commit a crime, why should you bear the responsibility? Just leave everything to me. Don't tell anyone about this. I will come back as soon as possible." "Really? Can Jean really save me? I don't want to go to jail, and it has nothing to do with this." After a period of silence, four sonorous and powerful words came from the other side of the phone. "keep your word."
