Just past 0 o'clock

The rain was pouring down, and many people were a little surprised that the rain that they hadn't seen for months had returned.

The city is still bustling, with long queues lining up at the entrances of many shops in the streets and alleys, and in a few days, the city's underground mega construction will begin, and uneasiness is always spreading in the city.

Because the supply of goods has been seriously insufficient, among which the supply of industrial products and building materials has reached a serious imbalance between supply and demand ratio of more than 100 to 1, most of the people have money in their hands, much richer than in the past, but they cannot buy what they want.

The service fee, a new type of charge, also began to appear in various parts of the city, and Congress did not regulate it, because it was inevitable.

At this time, many people looked at the west in unison, and with a loud bang, the last scarlet in the western sky disappeared.

In the past, in the west, at night, there were countless large numbers of red light points flashing, from top to bottom like red light strips, which were warning light points on the periphery of the huge sewage chimney, as long as the flashing red light points meant that the factory was operating, discharging waste pollutants.

Since November last year, the western factory has been completely shut down, and a large number of chimney columns have been dismantled and demolished, and now the last chimney has disappeared in the layers of disintegration.

In the last two months, many people have noticed that the pungent smell in the air has decreased, because of the gradual shutdown of factories, and today most businesses are doing the biggest event in nearly half a year.

The people who come to line up to buy goods are all people who have paid the service fee, and some people even pay a service fee of 1,000 yuan in order to buy a thing, so they can buy the goods first.

Because there are things that are necessary for a family, especially those household appliances that maintain life, and it is indispensable to cook and keep things fresh.

The only ones that haven't fluctuated are food, which is still very low, and medical stuff, which is relatively stable.

Many clothing stores have closed as early as a month ago, and many industrial products stores today will also close directly after selling everything, and it will be difficult for most stores to continue to open in the coming year, because the factory is in large-scale rectification and construction, and the factory area in the west needs to carry out the previous upgrade construction, and must be able to start construction after the comprehensive rectification is completed.

Only a small number of small workshops are still operating, and the only advantage of such workshops is that they are small, but the shipments are very low, and the pollution is very small, so these small workshops are allowed to continue to produce some industrial or clothing products.

In the era of open and shared technology, anyone can make technological innovation or create newer technology on the basis of this technology.

At this time, a truck drove slowly, something fell on the truck, many people looked over, the driver had stopped, and began to move the goods that were thrown out because of the sharp turn, it was a large stack of blue workers' overalls.

"It's really infuriating, Congress is too much."

A man in line scolded, and some people next to him also cursed, the largest sales in the city's clothing industry today are workers' overalls, which are made from old clothes that have been recycled from citizens in the past and made into high-density fibers, which are the main commodities produced in large quantities by most small workshops and factories that were able to open last year.

High-hardness hard hats, wear-resistant non-slip shoes, and a set of work clothes cost more than 100 yuan, which are made of mobile phones and clothes recycled in the past, and in the past, 100 yuan for an old smartphone and 10 yuan for 1 kilogram of clothes, the Congress recycled them at extremely low prices, and now these things are broken down into raw materials and sold to manufacturers, and then they go to the market, and after they are sold, they have to be taxed.

Many people now know what Congress did back then, and some people used to think that Congress was wasting tax money by using a lot of tax money to recycle these things, but now most people are scolding Congress for what it did, and it is cheating the people.

First of all, Locke's rhetoric when he bought these raw materials in the past, because he said at that time that these things were going to be used to make new composite materials, and they would be directly invested in construction.

This is different from what Locke said at the beginning, if the labor protection clothing is made with mimicry X, it is too wasteful, and the price will be higher, and now many small workshops use some crop fibers as raw materials to make clothes, I wanted to take advantage of the closure of a large number of clothing stores to make a profit, but most citizens have been accustomed to light and shadow clothing, because light and shadow clothing is often new, many brands will launch a new set of clothing templates with a little money every three or five times, As long as the amount of past clothing mimic X can reach the amount required for this new clothing, it can be directly generated through the light and shadow bracelet and worn on the body.

In the past, the kind of clothing made of plant fibers or chemical fibers has been unpopular, because the price of sales is not cheap, and it needs to be washed, this kind of clothing in the old era is in a more embarrassing period, it is difficult to sell out, even some people at the bottom are not willing to buy, most people are spending money to buy a set of thicker clothes, and then buy some light clothes templates.

"Good evening everyone, tonight because of the rain, the temperature will drop to about minus 15 degrees between 3 and 5 o'clock in the morning, please pay attention to keep warm, do not stay on the street when drunk, do not sleep outside, if you see someone drunk on the street, please contact the nearby administrator immediately........"

"Dead fat!"

In the middle of the poles on the street, a light screen is generated in half an hour to show Locke's New Year's safety tips from the last few years.

Many people on the street just glanced at it, some scolded a few words, and some walked by in ignorance, and everyone didn't want to listen to this fat man nagging some nonsense that is meaningless to many people.

"But Alpha is really miserable, he was suspended, it must be this fat man."

"yes, yes, I hate it!"

"I said, I should kick this fat man out of the National Congress, how good it is to let Alpha do it, I haven't heard from Alpha for a long time."

A few young girls at a restaurant chattered, and some of the men and women at a nearby table began to discuss.

The explosive news on November 3 last year caught many people off guard, and Alpha did something unbelievable, she rushed to the Chen family and beat Chen Liang, the fifth son of the second generation of the Chen family, and his jaw was broken whole, and he could only eat liquid food for many years in the future, and then he needed a long period of repair surgery, which would take at least five or six years to recover.

When the news first broke, the city was boiling, and Alpha was directly suspended by Congress for an indefinite period of time, and Locke issued a written explanation.

For a while, many people were asking the reason, and then everyone finally knew the reason, because Chen Liang's wife Wilsie had suffered domestic violence from her husband for a long time, and she had a good relationship with Alpha, and the Chen family did not hold Alpha accountable afterwards.

Later, according to the city's public security management law, Alpha needed to work on the farm for half a year as a punishment, and someone photographed her working in the fields, and many women in the city were upset about Alpha, because the internal affairs of the Chen family were exposed one after another.

From the day he got married, Chen Liang carried out all kinds of violence against Wilsie, and also maintained improper relationships with a large number of women, often taking different women home.

This huge scandal within the family has completely fermented, and many people are indignant at the family's practice of marrying for the benefit of the family, but because the family has immunity, it is difficult for the law to interfere in the family's affairs.

After that, Locke stood up again and again, and in the huge city-wide discussion about immunity, he made many excuses for the family, because before the establishment of the city, the family was the large and small armed forces in the land, and finally these armed forces combined, stopped the fighting, and quelled the wars in various places, so that the city could be established.

All of this was promised by the six gods on the day of the founding of the city, and the families who had worked hard for the establishment of the city, large and small, had been determined by the gods before the laws of the city were laid.

It's just that many people are suspicious that there seemed to be seven gods before, but the parliament gave a clear answer, there are only six gods, because the gods have never appeared in public, but they are the supreme existence of the city.

If it weren't for the opening of technology in Congress and the excellent students cultivated by the gods, there would still be some doubts about whether God really exists in the people.

Within the city, the commands of the gods are absolute and cannot be disobeyed, but they do not interfere in most of the governance of the city.

1 a.m

Alpha was smiling drunkenly with a bottle of wine next to her, smiling and leaning on the table with her feet crossed, holding a deck of cards in her hand with a smile in her eyes.

"President! Four of a kind! ”

Clark smiled and spread out the cards in his hand, four kings and a 10, and Alpha laughed and spread out the cards in his hand, four aces and a jack.

Alpha straightened up with a smile, took a long sip of wine, and took a stack of money on the table, Clark looked solemnly at some of the councillors who were still talking and laughing in the office of the chief of agriculture, and he looked at Natasha who was watching a movie with several female councillors.

"Can you lend me some money?"

Clark said embarrassedly, Natasha stunned, and several female councillors laughed.

"Clark, I don't think you'd better play with the president, after all, the president's head is much smarter than you."

For a while, many people in the room laughed, and Alpha raised his hand to hook it.

"If you want to play again, you owe me."

Clark was a little annoyed, and Natasha laughed.

"Don't play if you don't have money, idiot."

Clark grinned slightly, then sighed.

"Don't play, but won't you go back tonight, President? If you want to go back, there are take-off and landing planes on the roof, and you drive straight over there. ”

Alpha shook his head.

"What are you going to do, I'm going to keep working and finish these few months."

Many people in the room persuaded Alpha not to work so hard, she did the work of dozens of people by herself every day, and she could apply for a special case to shorten the punishment time, but Alpha bluntly said that she would not apply, and she would have to do it for half a year.

"But you're really stupid, President, if I were you, I wouldn't be so impulsive, and when that guy goes out one day, just beat him up, after all, that kind of guy maintains an improper relationship with so many women, maybe something will get into trouble."

Natasha giggled.

"What can you do if you beat him up like this?"

After drinking the last bit of wine in the bottle, Alpha yawned and walked to the door.

"You play slowly, I'll be back in the fields at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, I'll go to Latis first."

"I'll take off and land you to see you over."

Clark said, Alpha waved his hand, lit a cigarette, and writhed, the tight, slender muscles of the black vest rose and fell beautifully, and she picked up her coat.

"If you just run over there, you can sober up."

Alpha was about to leave, but Clark chased him out.

"I said no........"

Noticing that there was something strange in Clark's eyes, Alpha nodded.

After a while, the two sat on a take-off and landing plane, and Alpha exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I want to discuss with you, after the official announcement of the Acting Section, can you let Natasha go to your 5th Division?"

For a while, Alpha was a little surprised, the take-off and landing plane had slowly risen, and Alpha asked with a smile.

"Could it be that you have something wrong with her?"

"The concept is different, you also know the president, this is not good for the development of the 12 subjects, and not only Natasha, but also some classmates, now the same, standing on Natasha's side, since the teachers believe in my ability and let me become the head of the 12 subjects, then I have to do something, and I have discussed it with several other section chiefs."

Alpha asked after a moment of silent contemplation.

"Have you asked Natasha for her opinion?"

Clark shook his head.

"It's useless to ask, she won't agree, if it really doesn't work, I can only go to the fat brother and ask Natasha to go to the General Affairs Section."

Alpha sighed.

"What the hell is going on? Is there really no way to talk about it? ”

"This is a matter of position and philosophy, I know in detail, now that the food production of the agricultural department is increasing, Natasha and they are not involved because they do not agree with my approach."

Alpha was confused.

"Why haven't I heard you about this? Tell me, what exactly ........"

"The matter has passed, the president, the specific matter, when the acting section is established, you can go to the 6th section to read the documents, it's not a big problem, I'll talk to you about this matter first, I hope you think about it."

Alpha laughed.

"You want me to help you convince Natasha, you're still the same, are you really to the point where you can't communicate?"

"Ah, there's no way to communicate anymore, so I hope you'll think about it, President."

Alpha nodded, although she sensed something, but she didn't say anything, she had read the reports of some resignations that Ke Ying had reviewed, and the students who had graduated from the school had become regular clerks.

Alpha still remembers that one of the little girls named Olivia applied at this time, because the work pressure was too great so she resigned, and the work of the 12th section was not only boring, but if you want to talk about the pressure, only the harvest season is more intense, and the staff at the bottom don't have to deal with too many things, but most of the staff who resigned almost all of them were under too much work pressure, and Clark also approved.

Clark quietly looked at the dark place in front of him, far away, a faint light could be seen, which was more than 80 kilometers away from the location of the prison due east.

In fact, Clark really wanted to tell Alpha that the next batch of genetic foods with higher yields had been put on the daily basis, and that they were already going to be distributed to the heavy criminals, and that this batch of genetic foods might cause more harm to the human body than the previous batch.

Natasha couldn't bear it anymore this time, and completely broke with Clark, and some of the students in the past 12 subjects also stood on Natasha's side, Clark knew very well what the future would be, and there must be an endless supply of food to be able to support the whole city to continue to move forward.

It is true that the production of food has increased, but the population has also begun to grow, because the cities will need a large number of working people in the future, and even though the birth allowance has begun to decline, there are still many people who are willing to have children.

Because the wages of most low-level workers have increased exponentially, the city is ushering in an era of unprecedented rapid development.

Natasha doesn't agree with this approach of choosing a few for the sake of the many, and she advocates finding a more effective and reasonable way, although it takes a little longer, but they can do it with hard work.

Clark once asked Ye Chunwang this question, but Ye Chunwang couldn't give any answer, maybe the answer without an answer like this is the best, since the concept is not the same, since there is no way to work together, we can only take a separate approach.

"The Ottomans don't seem to be in a good situation on their side."

Alpha muttered, lit another cigarette, and Clark mumbled.

"I've heard a little that the situation in Section 3, although some of the measures taken by Osman and Zijuan are slightly better, but they are still not optimistic."

The two of them looked farther away, on the edge of the city, like a torch burning in the night, where was the Eastern Garrison Station, with 10,000 troops stationed.

1:15 a.m

Located on the side of the city wall of the eastern garrison station, Osman has just dealt with some documents in the army, and is walking on the city wall on a cold night, Zijuan is currently managing the construction of the military camp headquarters in the northwest, and the two have not seen each other for nearly half a year, and they are very busy with work every day.

Nowadays, under the leadership of the aristocratic faction and the power faction in the military, the 3rd Division has cooperated with most of the companies and enterprises, because the price of hiring security guards in the city is unfriendly to many businesses.

Therefore, most of the people in the 3rd section can now pass the test drawn up by the Ottomans and become external personnel of the army, and can act as security guards for some quarrying companies or factories in the marginal areas, as well as protect some merchants from robbery and other things on the way to business.

Including some shortage of people on the construction site needs some manual workers, the 3 sections can also be dispatched, the on-the-job salary is paid normally, and you can also earn a lot of extra money, which is currently supported by many people in the 3 sections, and the relationship between the aristocratic faction, the right faction, and the poor faction has been eased to a certain extent.

The external dispatch work that the three parties are responsible for is also the upper, middle and lower levels, and they have been divided into areas where they can send 3 sections of personnel to work in the past, because the 3 sections have suffered a lot of criticism, and in addition to such a huge construction project, the welfare of the department has been reduced, and the income can be legally earned through external money, which is more willing to choose the way to make money legally by various means within the 3 sections.

In the eyes of today's 3 insiders, Osman is a relatively kind leader, who balances the relationship between the three factions very well, and is also very good at talking.

As most of the people in the city said, the army had nothing to do but exercise every day, and it was better to let them work on the construction site for free.

There is no way out is the biggest problem of the 3 subjects at present, Osman and Zijuan have thought of a lot of ways to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people in the 3 subjects, but they all failed without exception, because the 3 subjects really have no way out.

Two of them tried their best to delineate some detailed plans, and the marching plan of the barrier area was directly rejected, because the cost was too large, and the safety of personnel was a major consideration, the climate and environment of the cold and hard barrier area was extremely harsh, and if you wanted to protect something, you need to invest more money and technology, and it is impossible for the city to come up with this money to implement this plan at present.

Such a depressing environment, there is no way to do anything, so that Osman is a little unbearable, he doesn't know what to do in the future, if the role of the army is only occasionally where instability occurs in the city in the past to suppress, exercise every day, go to the farm to help watch the prisoners work, so that the 3 departments will become more and more useless, as the city gets better and better, and the social security, there are already 5 departments led by Alpha.

Nowadays, most of the members of the army are on the older side, and they will retire after 20 years at most, but these 20 years are half-dead for them, and there is nothing they can do.

Osman quietly looked at the large courtyard, near some entertainment restaurants, the people of the 3 departments gathered loosely, chatting and laughing, and having fun, the daily training is their job, there is nothing else to do, most of them are looking forward to the external assignment work, which may be something they can look forward to a little now.

Drip, drip, drip

Osman took out his mobile phone, Zijuan on the light and shadow screen, soaked in the bathtub with a tired face, lying on his side, smiling evilly, Osman smiled and kissed the screen.

"Idiot!"

Osman scratched his head.

"Wait a few days, I'll go over to you after I handle the external dispatch here."

"I'll go to you, I'm not like you Osman, you are too tender in your heart, always thinking about others, but basically no one notices, they just think that you are honest and easy to bully, and you have to beg them to do things, and they help you to do things to give you face."

Osman snorted, and Zijuan shook her head helplessly.

"Otherwise, let's change the two positions, you will be the section chief, and I will be the secretary for you!"

Zijuan giggled.

"Idiot, it's already hard, it's solidified, and it won't loosen if it doesn't hit it strongly."

Osman nodded, he also knew very well that when he was not paying attention, more than 20 years had passed, and Osman felt the happiest when he was in school, and he was really happy every day, but everyone had grown up, and that place could never go back, even if they went back to that place, it had undergone earth-shaking changes, and the next time they officially went back again, they went back as the leaders of the department, and at that time they had to hand in their respective answers, but Osman knew very well, He couldn't give a satisfactory answer to the seven teachers who had worked so hard to train them.

"Rest early, you don't have to think about these things Osman, you can't figure it out, your stone head is not suitable to think about these, your only talent is to continue to balance all this, until one day there is a genius who can change all this situation, I can't do it, you can't do it, the only thing we have to do is to ensure that the 3 subjects can survive, that's it, this is the reason of the times, we can't do anything, we can only take this stick and pass it on to the next era!"

"I'm sorry!"

Ottoman's eyes were a little moist, and he looked at Zijuan with a serious expression.

"Why don't we wait too long and take the time to get the permit?"

Zijuan sighed with one hand on her cheek.

"Idiot, it's long overdue, everyone is waiting to drink our wedding wine, Alpha has urged it many times, she will provide their big turf to be our wedding banquet venue, King Xue said he will be your best man, as for the bridesmaids, I want all the girls in the school to come together."

Osman laughed.

"Thank you so much, Zijuan!"

Zijuan smiled and nodded, stood up, curled her hair, shook it, and then gently approached the screen and kissed it.

"Good night!"

After the call, Osman looked back at the barrier area that was pitch black and couldn't see anything, and now the 3rd section was like the barrier area, cold and dark, so that people could not see the slightest hope, Osman knew very well that he couldn't change this situation, he couldn't do it.

"Let's get married first!"
