The light of the morning sun began to warm the city, and from the east the light began to advance towards the rest of the city, the light swept over the city little by little, and it took more than ten minutes from the beginning of seeing the light to feeling the warmth.

In a long alley, the light continued to stretch, and it stopped as it approached the soles of a pair of dark calloused feet.

Quasimodo opened his eyes, woke up from his dream again, he turned his head solemnly, and at the mouth of the alley, Pete walked over with a bitter face.

"I know where Meranda is, I'm sorry Quasimodo, I lied to you."

airplanes

Pete looked at Quasimodo in horror, his body was already floating in the air, as if he was about to be squashed, Quasimodo raised a hand, and black particles flew in the air.

"You let go of me Quasimodo first, you calm down and listen to me first."

Quasimodo looked at Pete in a daze, as long as he exerted his strength, the man in front of him would turn into meat sauce, anger had completely eroded Quasimodo's heart, and in his mind, the appearance of Meranda that he saw at this moment was no longer beautiful, but full of holes, pus, and rotting and dilapidated.

"You listen to me and talk to you about Quasimodo slowly!"

Pete looked at the man in front of him in horror, looking at him pleadingly, shaking his head constantly.

6:13 a.m

A large number of businessmen and family members have gathered in District 1, and many of them are concerned about whether there are any things that have been submitted to their ward office after the first city meeting.

A large number of reporters were interviewing the streets, asking what the merchant families had come up with Congress.

Everyone is watching this city meeting because it will determine the future of the city, and everyone hopes that the city will have a better future in the future.

"Let's play a game, okay Michelle."

Yin Xianglin smiled and looked at Michelle who was sitting on the sofa and had already started reading, although it was some children's books, it was very simple, but for such a young child, it was not time to have a good time at this time.

When he thought of the childhood when he used to play crazy day and night, Yin Xiangrin couldn't help laughing.

"Sister Michelle."

Yin Xiangrin deliberately squatted next to Michelle in a very childish voice.

"I'm sorry, Sister Xiangrin, I want to study!"

Yin Xianglin sighed in her heart, she looked at Michelle a little helplessly, today's work report will come up at about 10 o'clock, Yin Xianglin still has a lot of time, as long as it can be dealt with today, looking at Michelle with a serious attitude, Yin Xianglin felt that she couldn't go on any longer, today the chief manager and section chiefs have entered the congress hall, and the meeting lasted for three days.

"Sister, I'll start working too."

Yin Xianglin looked around, turned around and sat down at Locke's desk, turned on a light and shadow screen, and began to work.

"Sister Xiangrin, are you working hard!"

Yin Xianglin said with a grin.

"Of course it's hard work."

"Then why do you have to do it!"

Yin Xiangrin said after thinking for a few seconds.

"Because I'm happy to do it now, if I'm not happy one day, or if there's something, I won't do it."

Michelle looked at Yin Xianglin incomprehensibly, and Yin Xianglin said with a smile.

"Or Michelle, how about you replace Sister Xiangrin in the future? If you are so serious, you can definitely do the job. ”

"Okay!"

Yin Xianglin walked over with a grin, picked up Michelle, and placed her on the large chair of Locke's desk.

"Come on, you can study here today, the table is very big."

Michelle nodded, looking at the smooth burgundy wooden desk in surprise, Yin Xianglin looked at Michelle quietly, always feeling that this child was a little incredible, as if she could see something.

"By the way, Michelle, what do you want to eat for lunch today?"

"Vegetables, a little bit of meat, and soup."

It was 6:36 a.m

A variety of aromas permeate the air, which is incompatible with the fresh air of the forest.

In the sturdy rooms where light and shadow are materialized, the people and parliamentarians are making their own breakfast.

This is Central Park, which is located above the Congress Hall, and the start time of the Congress is the same, starting at 10 o'clock, until then, everyone can move freely in Central Park.

Most of the staff in the General Affairs Division were in charge of making breakfast, and the councillors were sitting in several areas of the park according to their factions.

It's just that Wu Qun and the eight of them found a room, and the eight of them gathered together and were eating breakfast.

"I've always thought that kid was pathetic, Freya."

Wu Qun put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Freya next to him, and Beckinsale on the opposite side looked at Wu Qun unhappily.

"Lao Wu, this is someone else's family matter, and besides, you haven't even been married, let alone your children."

Wu Qun laughed and shook his head.

"If Michelle is unwilling, I will not force her, there will inevitably be alternations, we can't sit in this position forever, you too, think about the future, how to continue this good present into the future."

Freya raised the fork in her hand and said, Lin Xiao took a sip of wine.

"One thing to say, Freya, I'm afraid the situation today will be very intense."

Everyone nodded, except for the first topic, family marriage is separated from the family immunity and officially included in the control of the marriage law, and some subsequent issues, there should be relatively big differences on both sides, so everything today will be extremely intense.

"In any case, we should have figured it out a long time ago, once we officially set foot on this stage, we will inevitably become hostile to them, which is inevitable."

Wang Ying said, picked up a glass of wine handed over by Lin Xiao, and several other people found that Wang Ying seemed very happy today, and Lin Xiao was the same.

"Pullman, I heard that your daughter was hospitalized a while ago."

Chris asked, and Pullman nodded.

"Hey! Recently, there have been a lot of things, and my wife is a mother for the first time, and I don't have any experience, and I have committed enteritis by improper feeding, so there is no big problem. ”

Baozhen smiled and nodded.

"Almost, we need to go back to our respective camps."

Everyone was holding their glasses, and at that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Wu Qun, who was close to the door, walked over, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Eddie standing at the door with a glass of wine, smiling kindly.

"Fellow students! Can you talk a little bit? ”

"What's there to talk to you guy?"

Wang Ying looked at it with her hands on her cheeks, and Freya immediately added.

"Eddie, if you want to talk about business......."

Eddie shook his head, he was in a good mood today, looking at the eight people in front of him, he was happy in his heart, he stepped into the room, closed the door and raised his wine glass.

"Congratulations! To our eternal Stellar Student Council. ”

Everyone raised their glasses, and everyone took a sip.

"It's been 25 years!"

Eddie, who had put down his glass, walked over, and Beckinsale giggled.

"I didn't expect you to remember, I thought you had forgotten a long time ago."

Eddie shook his head, their alma mater had a name in each class since the last few years, and their name in this class was Xingchen.

"I'm just here to catch up with everyone, not to talk about business, Freya, you must be too hostile to me!"

Freya put away her joking expression and became serious, the others were the same, everyone didn't have a good impression of Eddie, and over the years, many crimes related to the Hillman family made everyone even more disgusted with Eddie.

"What's wrong with everyone?"

Eddie glanced around the eight people, Wu Qun walked over with a smile, took the wine bottle, poured some wine into Eddie's wine glass, and put down the wine bottle.

"As a classmate, I have one thing to say, Eddie!"

"Of course, Lao Wu."

Wu Qun sighed and said.

"Stop it, there's something!"

Eddie looked at everyone suspiciously.

"What the hell is going on?"

Wang Ying laughed.

"Don't take us for fools Eddie, what do you want to do, we're not stupid!"

Eddie immediately showed a look of surprise, but quickly shook his head.

"I don't know what you're referring to!"

"Matters of the Angus family."

Freya said unceremoniously, then stood up.

"Eddie, if you want to mess around, you're welcome."

Eddie hummed and raised his glass.

"Finally, I would like to salute you again, after all, it may be time for us to say goodbye in the future, and our positions are completely different."

Wu Qun put away his smile, everyone present knew what the Hillman family's intentional or unintentional actions meant, no one was a fool, and the Hillman family's intention to annex the Angus family was already obvious.

From the beginning of construction, the Angus family had no choice but to accept the investment of the Hillman family, and later Eddie lobbied the Angus couple to go public, temporarily alleviating the gap and pressure of construction funds, and now after the stock market is delisted, the debt-ridden Angus family can only sell most of the family land.

If it weren't for the fact that the Acting Section had taken the pricing power into its hands, the Angus family would have been finished by now.

"I don't think I did anything to make everyone angry!"

Wu Qun's brows furrowed slightly.

"I'll just say Eddie, be mature!"

Eddie hummed, put down his glass and bowed, and then turned to walk, his face showing relief.

Eddie knows very well that as long as there is no evidence, they can't do anything with themselves, and with the character of several of them, they will not drag ordinary citizens into the water, which is the double guarantee of Eddie's plan.

The collapse of an Angus family has already made the city worse, and now if something goes wrong with the Hillman family, the result does not need to be explained by Eddie, they naturally know that no matter how much they complain about themselves, they will not do anything.

The poisoning caused by the water pollution speaks for itself, and Eddie thought that Freya would reveal the truth, but then the actions of the medical association and the medical faction councillors surprised Eddie.

But Eddie's goal has been achieved, although it did not expose the matter, but forced the Angus family, which is still closely preparing for the next phase of construction, to start construction before it is ready, and if the previous things are exposed, it will only be the icing on the cake.

"That's right, guys! Where exactly are you standing now? ”

At this time, Eddie stopped at the door and asked, everyone behind him was silent, did not answer Eddie's question, he opened the door of the room with a smile and walked out.

Looking at the departing Eddie, Freya's serious expression turned angry.

"If there is evidence........"

"Don't say Freya anymore, that guy is still the same as before, insidious and vicious, the death of many people in the city who developed new drugs in the past has absolutely nothing to do with their family, and Eddie himself can't do it, it's not enough for a guy like Plumm to do it."

Lin Xiao stood up, and after the eight of them began to clean up the dishes, they then walked out of the room, looking at the waiting officers on the opposite side of the fountain in the center of the park.

6:49 a.m

Sneeze

Mo Xiaolazy sneezed and shivered, she looked back at the bottomless ravine, and the cold and terrible air, her whole body trembled, and her throat was a little uncomfortable.

"I've already told you, put it on."

Jean took out a dust mask from his pocket, and Mo Xiaolazy obediently put it on at this time.

"Is there anything else you can come down with?"

Jean said with a smile, Mo Xiaolazy glanced at the city shrouded in light behind him, and then at the wild and endless barrier area in front of him.

"No, if I walk for a day, my feet will get blisters, even if I ride a motorcycle or drive, I can't stand it, and don't you say okay, can you carry me over?"

Jean smiled helplessly.

"It's really capricious."

Mo Xiaolazy pouted.

"Who is willful? Someone woke people out of bed early in the morning, and ah, how can you sneak into a lady's boudoir. ”

Jean smiled and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I'm leaving, sit tight, the speed will be fast."

Mo Xiaolazy lay on Jean's back tightly, Jean had already bowed down, and the moment the light blue particles were scattered, Jean had already carried Mo Xiaolath on his back and shot out.

According to the investigation report of the 2nd and 3rd Sections on the Barrier Area, Mo Xiaolazy deduced that there should be a secret gathering place suitable for human habitation in the Barrier Area.

Some of the rough equipment that has been destroyed on the spot by the 2 divisions is impossible to complete in a place like the rampart, and now although every garbage truck out of the city is strictly inspected, it is impossible for the perpetrator to get out of the garbage truck, but it can be through the micro take-off and landing machine.

This kind of thing that can be bought in the black market is circulating quietly, and Mo Xiaolazy just talked to Jean about this matter for a few days, and the result is that now he is carried by Jean to the barrier area, and the two will go deep into some places in the barrier area and investigate directly.

It is nothing new for criminals to flee, and now under the high-pressure policy of the 5th Division, most of the criminals will run away as soon as they are exposed, because if they don't run, they will definitely be caught, and once they are caught, according to the laws of the city today, many people may not be able to get out.

"Go over there and have a look."

There was a dilapidated town in front of him, Jean stopped, and walked slowly over with Mo Xiaolazi on his back.

There were a few figures in the town, but they all looked loose, and after a casual glance, there were probably less than a hundred people, many of them rummaging through the ruins, and some of them were constantly collecting the garbage that drifted in.

As soon as the two entered the town, someone ran over.

"Do you have anything to eat? Hand it over. ”

A scrawny man with a sharp knife in his hand looked like he didn't even have the strength to hold it, and his eyes were full of longing rather than threat.

Jean was just about to make a move, Mo Xiaolazy grabbed Jean's ear and took out some military dry food from his pocket.

"If you want to eat, you have to answer questions."

After a while, everyone in the town gathered, everyone looked at the dry food in Mo Xiaolan's hand, and there were more than ten people lying on the ground next to him.

"Do you have any places here where I can get food?"

One man rushed to answer, and Jean sat down next to him, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.

The people from Section 2 and Section 3 who came to investigate before have asked about it, but there is no result at all.

"I've heard that there is a place to get food in the larger gathering places over there, but it's no longer there."

Mo Xiaolazy was still asking questions, but after asking around, most of the answers were irrelevant, and after Mo Xiaolazy gave them some food, he lay on Jean's back again.

"I've asked about these things, and the people in the 2nd section have asked about them."

Mo Xiaolan said with a grin.

"A simple logical question, how long do you think you can live without food here?"

"A week at most!"

Jean continued to catapult on the cold and hard ground, and Mo Xiaolazi, who was on his back, laughed lazily.

"Not to mention a week, even three days is enough to choke, according to my calculations, there are now garbage disposal outlets in the east and west, and now some garbage disposal companies on both sides have closed down, in addition to the south under construction, and the upper area has garbage to dispose of, the number of garbage trucks out of the city is now 50 to 100 times less than before the construction."

"In other words, the probability of carrying food in a garbage truck through the guard station is very small, and this is also true."

Jean replied, and Mo Xiaolazy snorted.

"I'm afraid a lot of people are not willing to take such a risk now, carrying smuggled goods out of the city in garbage trucks, although there are take-off and landing machines to use, but how many gangs can afford to use take-off and landing machines, so I'm sure there must be a place here that can produce their own food."

Jean stopped, a distance of dozens of kilometers was nothing to him, in front of him was a ruin, a point that had been dealt with by the previous 2 sections, and the two of them walked into a town that had been riddled with holes and a large number of bullet casings on the ground.

Coagulated blood can also be seen on some walls.

"Is it really good to deal with it so roughly?"

Mo Xiaolazy asked, Jean shook his head, but nodded again.

"What do you think you should do?"

Mo Xiaolazy shook her head, she didn't know what to do, most of the criminals who fled to the barrier area were guilty of serious crimes, and the sentence was at least ten years or more.

In order to evade sanctions, it is best for most people to flee to the barrier area, and then sneak back to the city from the northwest after the turmoil subsides, and live in some marginal areas.

The labor cost saved, as long as the number of workers is large, the company also enjoys the policy of tax reduction, and the money is net earned.

This is a very large underground criminal industry chain, which is difficult to control in many cases.

Many people obviously only need to bear the crimes they have committed, and there is still a chance to accept punishment, but most people automatically give up such an opportunity and choose to flee, Mo Xiaolazy has seen this kind of person when he was investigating in the city, many of them were at the time of the crime, they just wanted to run, and they only knew that they regretted it after they ran, and they could only live in the dark for the rest of their lives.

"The scope is so large, it's not realistic to rely on manpower to find it."

"It's not realistic to rely on machinery, since the other party has the ability to make some simple machinery here, then it has the ability to scale out reconnaissance, and how much does the machine cost? In such a place where there is no network, if you want to use machinery to investigate, it will only cost people's taxes. ”

Jean smiled, and the two continued to wander around the town, soon coming to the outside of a factory, where Jean quietly looked at the dilapidated factory, which was once a factory that produced clothes.

Humanity still had plenty of time to prepare for the darkness that would envelop the land after the sun's disappearance before the sun's rays faded completely, but the remaining humans began to fight.

As the sun's rays grew fainter and the battle became more and more uncontrollable, and after half a century of darkness, humanity remained, but some of the facilities and towns that appeared in the land at the beginning were finally transformed into this way.

"What are you thinking about Jean?"

Mo Xiaolazy was still looking at some of the damaged machinery, many of which were machines for making items, most of them were used to make clothes, as well as some covering materials, and the people here seemed to be living a good life.

It's just that some of the corpses that were burned in the factory made Mo Xiaolazy uncomfortable.

After learning where K went and what he did, Mo Xiaolan was shocked, indeed, if these criminals really go back, it will increase the burden of the department, as well as the subsequent treatment of them, as well as the supply of food, will cause a certain burden on the city, the prison is already overcrowded, plus what they are doing now, the result of these people entering the prison is the same, only waiting for death.

"It's not a game Jean!"

Mo Xiaolazy said to Jean solemnly, and Jean shook his head.

"You tell me these useless little lazy things, if you really want to do something, the best thing is to take over 2 subjects."

For a while, Mo Xiaolazi's heart was bottomless, and she was still checking everything in the factory with the lights.

Suddenly, Mo Xiaolazy found a charred metal box, opened it with great difficulty, took some of the things inside, looked at it for a long time, and then glanced at the cauldron in the factory.

"Ore!"

Jean smiled and nodded.

"The mineral reserves in this land are actually quite sufficient, even if they support the city's industry, but it is very difficult to mine."

"What about the current technology?"

Jean nodded.

"No problem at all."

"It's not a trivial matter, Jean, can you not look like a fool."

Jean smiled and nodded, and the two walked out of the factory, and when they came all the way, Mo Xiaolazy saw some tire prints that had not disappeared, each of which looked quite deep, and it seemed that they were left when they were carrying a large number of things.

"Has the excrement been examined?"

Jean was a little surprised, and Mo Xiaolazy immediately said.

"If you want to know what they have eaten, the best way is to check the excrement, so what are you doing in a daze, go and find it."

Jean was a little surprised, this is indeed a way, as long as you know what the people here have eaten, you can probably determine some directions, in this barren land, excretion is solved on the spot.

The investigation of Section 2 is too crude, and the investigation of Section 3 is limited to the periphery of the city, and has not yet begun to go into earnest depth, this cold and hard land is vast and changeable, and it is too difficult to investigate.

"I'll have to let Noah make a special machine."

After a while, Mo Xiaolazy really found excrement in a place, which had turned into hard stones, she looked at it with disgust, looking everywhere for bags that could be filled, planning to bring the things back first, and after the specific test, she would know what they had eaten.

At this time, Mo Xiaolan looked into the distance, although there was only a vague black outline, it was a very large mountain range.

"Where's that over there?"

"The Alatan Ula Mountains means the land of majesty."

Mo Xiaolazy carried a bag of excrement and handed it to Jean with a disgusted expression.

"Could it be over there?"

Jean shook his head, he didn't know or was sure, because no one could imagine that someone would be able to carve mountains and establish a base in a place like the Barrier Zone.

The time, materials and manpower required for this project are incalculable, and Mo Xiao looked at the mountain range suspiciously.

"Take me there."

"It's far away, it's about a hundred kilometers here."

Mo Xiaolazy nodded, still insisting on going over to have a look.

"My sixth sense as a woman is very accurate, put things down first, and come back to get them later."

Jean glanced back at the city behind him, smiled and bowed down, Mo Xiaolazy climbed up, Jean carried her on his back and began to run again.

Mo Xiaolazy looked at the increasingly dim place in front of him, and always felt that this land always exuded a dangerous atmosphere.

Such a simple and crude way of dealing with it can only be temporarily contained, but if you want to contain it in the long run, the only way to let the light shine on this land.

"Jean, what do you think of letting the light shine through, and slowly reviving the land beyond the ravine?"

Jean smiled and nodded.

"It's a good way, but it's a pity that the food base in the east is now enough for the needs of the whole city, and there is even a shortage of labor."

"It's good to use machinery."

Jean didn't answer, he chose to be silent, once the mechanical breakthrough was opened, most people would have a harder time than they are now.
