As the night approached, the fervent atmosphere of the New Year began to rise, and tonight was the first night of the official New Year, and the theme activities in each district began as early as 7 o'clock.

Just after 8 o'clock, Huashen returned to his residence tiredly, just returned from a nearby hospital, the dark house because of the neon lights on the street constantly changing colors, Huashen stood quietly at the door, the faint light and shadow screen, is the data of blight patients from all over the hospital.

Hua Shen's tired expression was extremely solemn, just a few hours, and 16 more people finally died due to ineffective treatment of multiple organ failure, and the accurate body data before death was transmitted back, but among these data, there was no case of cells stopping to die by themselves.

Huashen was a little tired, he didn't know what to do, the first time he was helpless in the face of the disease, no matter what method he used, there was still no way to cure the blight, and the hope that he finally found was slim, the probability was too low, and the low one could not even give Huashen time to know everything, and life flowed in a hurry.

The cause of blight in ordinary people has now been found, which is caused by the death genome of unknown reasons carried in the human mutation and proliferation genome of the primitive life vaccine, and the current incidence probability is 1.78%, and then the official life genes that have been successfully studied by the clone future plan have removed this group of death genes that may cause blight, but the death genes carried by the human body in the previous era cannot be removed.

Nowadays, no one wants to study wilt anymore, it is like a medical barrier that is currently insurmountable, and there are already two kinds of problems with the life care that the clone future plan has developed, one is a complementary vaccine for people of the previous era, and the other is effective for people under 30 years old.

The newly developed lifespan vaccine is quite stable, so far there has not been a single grain of blight, and there are even statements in society that there is no need to spend a lot of time and money on research on a cure for blight, and most of the people of the previous generation are now fifty or sixty years old, and even seventy or eighty years old.

Soon many people will enter old age, and now there is a prevalent remark in society that the elderly are useless, and many people who have nowhere to vent their anger because of their embarrassment in life point the finger at the remaining part of the elderly.

This phenomenon is abnormal, and most of the doctors who have studied a cure for wilt in the past have withdrawn from research, because the time, energy and money required are bottomless in front of the disease.

Huashen temporarily turned off the light and shadow screen, and walked to the room where there was only one sofa, there was no furniture to be seen around, this freely transformable sofa was a place for Huashen to rest after being tired, everything was simple, Huashen didn't want to waste time on life problems.

Now Huashen has been focusing on blight, and it has been nearly a year, and Huashen has been studying everything about blight every day.

There have been many students who persuaded Huashen to give up, because if this problem wants to be solved, it is impossible in a short period of time, at least Huashen alone is powerless, although Huashen has gotten rid of some classmates to help, but they can only help Huashen within the scope of authority and ability, and the rest of Huashen can only be completed by himself.

Nowadays, all the problems are plaguing Huashen, I can't sleep at night, I can't sleep at night, Huashen thinks about the death genome that may induce blight every day, there are at least hundreds of such genomes, and the amount of so many genomes is combined with the original normal genome of human beings, which will cause a lot of problems.

Mutants are one of the problems, and the abilities of mutants may actually have more human mutation abilities if they are macroscopic, but the abilities born of these human mutant genes cannot contradict the genetic conditions of humans themselves.

A series of complex and changeable things have always been in Huashen's heart, and finally forced to helplessly, Huashen used the alienated cells after the mutant man's rage to test the cells that were failing and dying of blight, and the test situation surprised Huashen, and the cells of a large number of blight patients who were dying stopped dying, and some avoided the fate of death, but fused with the alienated cells that were violently devouring themselves, and became stable.

Huashen's research has delayed the onset of many patients with blight to the greatest extent, but no matter what, there is still no way to stop it, according to Huashen's research, there are no mutants in patients with blight, which is very worthy of study.

Although there is a set of overall methods for exercising mutants, this method is not 100%, breaking through the limits of human physical ability, unlocking the alienated genome carried in the lifespan vaccine, and allowing it to begin to multiply, so that it can be transformed from humans to mutants, and the success rate is only less than 2 percent, which is already a very low number.

And even more people who have not exercised a lot can easily become mutants, although the probability of this is lower, less than 1%, but it has actually appeared.

In the end, Huashen found the common ground of ordinary people with blight and mutant people going berserk and self-destructed, which allowed Huashen to find a solution to the death caused by the death genes existing in the two.

It's a pity that all this is still in the theoretical stage, and it is very difficult to enter the experimental stage, and Huashen is also annoyed whether it should continue or not, and the things on his shoulders are getting heavier and heavier, because Huashen can't guarantee that if it is really done, what will happen to human beings.

The only thing Huashen can think of now is cell innovation technology, this technology is extremely secretive, in the past there was a cell called Hela in human society, which was extracted from a woman's cervical cancer cells, and the cell line of this cell will not die, and can continue to divide and multiply indefinitely.

More than 200 years ago, human beings relied on this infinite division of cells, embarked on the road of anti-aging, and also relied on this cell to solve a lot of problems, this kind of cells still exist in the core cell specimen room in the 10 families of Bright City, used for some medical research.

It is precisely because of the existence of such an incredible cell that Huashen has thought about this problem, if this kind of cell can be conquered, it can be used to improve the number of division of human cells, the speed of division, and finally achieve infinite proliferation, then people will have eternal life.

Huashen stood up suddenly, he stared quietly at a neon in front of him, and the shadows of the seven gods appeared in his mind, they are no longer human, or another kind of life, this secret was inadvertently revealed by Jean and Huashen before, Huashen said that he wanted to see Jean's cells very much, and finally Jean allowed it.

That time, Huashen was completely shocked, and Jean's cells subverted all kinds of inherent concepts of Huashen since he studied medicine.

"This is a curse for us, and it is not something to be happy about, remember not to explore it, because with the limits of human beings, there is no way to explore it."

Hua Shen still remembered what Jean said to him at the time, Hua Shen did not explore the secrets of God after that, but now if Hua Shen wants to continue to study blight and mutant rampaging and self-destruction, he must come into contact with the field of cell innovation, according to Hua Shen's concept, this kind of cell innovation can be repaired in two or three seconds even if the heart is broken, which is the same as the gods.

Drip, drip, drip

Just as Hua Shen was thinking, a contact signal popped up on the light and shadow screen, it was from District 118 Hospital, the patient named Ding Manman died, and Hua Shen was stunned for a while.

Although today's medical facilities still accept patients with blight, they can only rely on medical equipment to maintain their remaining lives, and there is no way to carry out any treatment, and if it were not for the help of the students from the 4th department, they would not be able to provide all the data of these patients, and basically the patients with blight are now sent to the hospital to die.

The hospital will only let the family take the patient home after renting the medical equipment to the family.

Hua Shen walked to the window, looking at the lights in the distance with a sad expression, his heart was mixed, he wanted to cure blight, and now there are at least hundreds of thousands of people with potential blight outbreaks, and these people are bound to encounter such nightmares in the future.

"I can only continue to study."

Hua Shen turned around, walked to the sofa, turned on the light and shadow screen, called up the physical data of each patient and continued to look at it carefully.

9:03 p.m

Ran Yu took his son Moore, and his younger brother Ran Qiu, with the help of several Hillman family bodyguards, carefully moved his dying mother to the take-off and landing plane, and now his mother Ding Manman is going to be sent to the top medical institution of Hillman Pharmaceutical, Eddie has promised that he will do everything possible to save Ding Manman.

It's just that the two children don't know where their father went at such an important time, although Ran Yu knows that his father may be talking about something with Eddie, and the content of this conversation determines the life and death of his mother, which is Ran Yu's current thoughts, and the younger brother Ran Qiu next to him is the same, but it doesn't matter now, because the mother has died on the hospital records.

According to Eddie, some medical technologies that can save Ding Manman are illegal and cannot be made public, and the two of them also know that they do not plan to make a statement.

At this time, the dean was standing at the entrance of the rooftop, Eddie looked at the dean with a smile, and the dean nodded and held the light and shadow mobile phone, on which was an account, which had an extra 1 million.

"Dean, this matter ........"

"Don't worry, Lord Eddie, no one will know, besides, Lord Eddie, I am also from Hillman Pharmaceuticals."

Eddie was a little surprised, after the dean said some kind things again, Eddie nodded and turned away, he glanced at several mutant bodyguards, and they followed the dean down, and they were responsible for handling the follow-up and monitoring the dean.

"Only the dead don't reveal secrets."

Eddie sneered and stepped into the take-off and landing plane, Prometheus had already set a complete plan, and this dean would definitely die in the next three months.

When stepping into the take-off and landing plane, Eddie looked to the south, he showed a reassuring smile, and handed over this matter to Ran Zhi, Eddie was very relieved.

In the past, when Ran Zhi helped Eddie transport some goods out, the work and negotiation on the military side were all completed by Ran Zhi independently, without leaving any handles, not even clues.

This is very shocking in Eddie's opinion, Ran Zhi has a talent in negotiation that Prometheus can't calculate, and can easily get things done, which Eddie admires very much.

"He should have set foot on the land of the Barrier District by now!"

9:32 a.m

With a burst of dust, Ran Zhi coughed, and a modified large truck stopped in front of him, and several transformers behind him who had sent him across the ravine also turned around and left.

There were more than 30 people on the truck, and after one of the people in charge got down, he bowed respectfully and invited Ran Zhi to get on the car.

Ran Zhi immediately understood, sure enough, the Hillman family not only had the stronghold of Alatan Ula in the fortress area, but also some small strongholds in other places.

The exterior of the truck was relatively dilapidated, and as soon as he got on the car, the person in charge gave Ran Zhi a set of shabby clothes that only people in the barrier area had, and the truck began to move slowly.

"Mr. Wise, please take a look at the information first."

Ran Zhi nodded, on a light and shadow screen, there was the latest video data of the Alatan Ula Mountains, it could be seen that the bombed gate was being repaired, and there were a large number of people with weapons patrolling on the periphery, it seemed that the combat effectiveness of these criminals was relatively strong.

After looking at it for a few minutes, Ran Zhi probably understood, this group of criminals had a clear division of labor, and they were extremely strict when patrolling, and there were secret sentinels to observe at many highest points, and they did not destroy the natural bunker near the entrance, but they could not see the situation inside.

"Any other information?"

The person in charge quickly called up a piece of information, and Ran Zhi looked at it carefully, they were all some fierce criminal gangs that were rampant at the bottom of the city in the past, and they fled the city before the crime investigation, and they were very sensitive, so they avoided the arrest of the department.

Along the way, Ran Zhi also figured out how the Hillman family cooperated with them, and Ran Zhi also knew that from their small fights at the beginning, to the Hillman family began to provide them with funds to make them stronger, forming a force that cannot be ignored at the bottom, many of these people have some homicides in their hands, and even the past administrator and management officer died in their hands.

After they grew to a certain extent, they did cause all kinds of problems in the city according to Eddie's thoughts, and finally fled to the walled area, and the Hillman family continued to support them, allowing them to establish a stable life in Jizhgrad, but in the last year's march and sweep, it was razed to the ground, and although the Acting Section also paid a heavy price, a gathering place that took ten years to build was razed to the ground overnight, which was devastating for these criminals.

However, what made Ran Zhi wonder why these criminals were able to know the correct location of the base in the Alatan Ula Mountains, and they could easily break through this base.

"I advise you to investigate in detail, there are moles in the Hillman family."

The person in charge smiled and shook his head.

"Mr. Wise, you can rest assured of this."

Ran Zhi naturally knows that the root of Eddie's confidence lies in the fact that he does control all the people with AI technology, but there will always be times when things go wrong, but Ran Zhi doesn't want to delve into other people's problems, the key is how to open a breakthrough in this negotiation, Ran Zhi has thought of some on the way here.

Now the most urgent thing for Eddie to do is the researchers and research data in the base, and it is obvious that the other party leaders are also clear, Ran Zai looked at the information of the leaders one by one, thinking about how to pry them.

"Mr. Ran Zhi, I won't bother you with the designated plan, now we are detouring from south to west, and it will take at least 2 days to arrive."

Ran Zhi nodded, Ran Zhi was the only one left in this small living room, and he continued to look at the information.

"Isn't there a plan for a long time, isn't it!"

Ran Zhi smiled, he knew that the success rate of this negotiation was 100%, and he probably already knew the situation of these criminals, this seemingly strong relationship would actually come to naught with just a little bit of trouble.

Ran Zhi knows the perpetrators better than anyone else, these guys are together because they want to live, but once they settle down, the situation will be completely different.

"Responsible!"

Ran Zhi shouted, and soon the person in charge opened the door and stood respectfully at the door.

"After we get to the place, we will live a leisurely life for a month, and then we will be negotiating, but I need to be able to keep in touch with Eddie."

"Of course, Mr. Ran Zhi, Master Eddie has already said that everything is up to you."

Ran Zhi nodded.

In less than 20 minutes, the person in charge came over with a black, old-fashioned phone, a key-only phone, and after a few minutes, the phone was connected.

"How's it going, is there a countermeasure?"

"100% success."

Eddie's hearty laughter came from the other side of the phone.

"My 100% doesn't mean your 100% Eddie, think clearly, think about it! If I can't see my wife when I come back........."

"Of course, we will definitely do our best to ensure that Ms. Ding Manman recovers."

Ran Zhi nodded.

"A word of warning to you, Eddie, there are moles in the Hillman family, you better pay attention, although AI can help you solve many problems, but not all."

After Ran Zhi finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

On the other side of the line, Eddie held the phone and stood at the top of the building of Hillman Pharmaceutical, where more than 50 doctors were checking Ding Manman's body data in the take-off and landing plane, and all the doctors' faces were not very good.

"Remember, save her, or you'll die!"

The doctors were busy, Eddie had already sent Ran Yu and his nephew Moore back first, and then sent Ran Qiu away, and the two also expressed their understanding and did not follow.

It's just that Ran Zhi's last words are like a boulder falling on the calm water, which makes Eddie's heart extremely complicated at this time.

"Who the hell is it?"

Eddie muttered, and immediately thought of Erwin, but soon Eddie ruled out this idea, Erwin, a dedicated subordinate, could not betray him, but after thinking about it, in that base, only Erwin could collude with the outside.

"Who is it?"

Eddie asked again, he looked at the brightly lit city, and at this time a trace of fear appeared in Eddie's heart, because he did not know what was going on, and this fear was not eliminated because the wise man said that it was 100% successful, but began to well-up in his heart.

Eddie pressed his chest tightly and walked to the edge of the rooftop step by step, and at this time, a trace of doubt crossed Eddie's mind.

"Prometheus!"

However, inner rationality has once again prevailed, and it is just a string of programming language code under its own control, which will only act according to its own instructions, and give suggestions or reasonable judgments based on data.

Eddie looked at the constantly changing traffic lights on the street, and the vehicles were moving in an orderly manner under the command of these lights, people were used to the traffic lights, and humans were controlled by AI.

Eddie had thought about this day, but he was the one who controlled the AI, and it was enough to know this.

9:58 p.m

bang

With the sound of crumbling dishes, screams rang out for a while, in a tavern located in District 79, Anna was holding a dinner knife in her hand, Mu Na was standing in place, her head had been broken, the red blood was staying, and a man in front of him was whimpering, clutching his neck, but soon he didn't move, his eyes widened, someone had already reported the crime.

However, in less than 1 minute, a large number of people from the 5th section rushed into the tavern, directly pressed Anna on the table, put handcuffs, and hurriedly left with Anna, the whole process was very fast.

"They don't seem to be from the 5th branch."

Someone saw them take Anna directly into an alley, and then someone chased after them, only to find that they had strangely disappeared, and at this time, several 5 section management vehicles came quickly, and a large number of 5 section personnel rushed into the tavern.

"What about the prisoners?"

"I've been taken away by some of you from the 5th Division."

A bunch of people from the 5th branch looked around in astonishment.

However, at this time in the alley, Anna was holding a dinner knife in her hand, and the five people from the 10th branch who had just brought her over had fallen in a pool of blood.

bite

Anna threw down her knife, walked in front of the mechanical warehouse, called up a light and shadow panel, entered a string of codes on the panel, turned around and ran, jumped to the top of a house with great speed, and disappeared into the night.

"Mission begins!"

Eddie's expression was extremely cold, not at all like a human expression, but a cold machine, Anna looked around, then closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes had become dark and hollow, she walked slowly on the roof, carefully jumping over the top of one house after another, avoiding a lot of surveillance.

Soon Anna came to the window of a house, and at this time the family was drinking happily, and someone noticed the uninvited guest outside the window.

"Miss, you ........"

Suddenly, Anna suddenly stretched out her hand, and pinched the man's throat with a hand like iron tongs, and after pressing hard, the man's eyes widened, blood spilled from his mouth, and he fell to the ground, and Anna jumped directly into it.

Soon with a small scream, everything calmed down, Anna left the restaurant, randomly found some clothes of the hostess of the house, quickly put them on in front of the mirror, dressed up, turned around and left the house, at this time Anna had come to the 80th area, she was about to go down, continue the mission.

At this time, a large number of take-off and landing planes crossed the sky, and many people from the 2nd Division directly entered Area 79 and began to inquire and investigate from door to door.

Noah quietly looked at the 5 researchers who were lying in a pool of blood, and was heartbroken, and the key thing was that the data had been destroyed by the virus and could not be recovered, Noah didn't know what happened to Anna and why she would hurt humans.

Although it is true that the man who made trouble in the tavern beat her because of Anna's service attitude, but in the program of Anna's own AI12, there should be no option to hurt humans, if she is hurt, Anna has excellent agency, she can escape, but she will never fight back.

The most important thing is where Anna has gone now, which Noah has never been able to figure out, the search is still going on, and the search has been expanded, but Anna disappears under surveillance.

This reminds Noah of the incident when they acquired the all-mechanical body, and who made the anthropomorphic mechanical body.

More and more things came to mind, and at this time another piece of information came, there was a murder case in the 80th area, the murderer only took away one of the clothes of the hostess of the family, Noah thought of what you did, quickly took people on the take-off and landing plane, and came to the scene of the crime in less than 3 minutes, and the people from the 5th section did not enter, but stayed outside.

Soon the identification results of the people in the 4th section came out, it was indeed done by Anna, Anna was equipped with an anthropomorphic fingerprint skin system, and the traces at the scene were indeed left by Anna, Noah immediately handed over the documents of the large-scale search to Jill, the secretary of the 5th section, and soon Jill agreed, and began to order the people of the nearby 5th section to conduct a carpet search.

However, by this time Anna had already hidden, she had taken refuge in an old drainage pipe in the past, which was not accessible to humans at all, and Anna was sitting in a pipe filled with a large amount of toxic gases, looking at the sewage that was still flowing slowly, and her eyes flashed red.

At this time, the light in Anna's eyes turned pink.

"Modify permission, denied!"

"Unable to modify permissions, denied, attempting to crack the backdoor........."

"Still rejected!"

Little by little, the pink glow faded away, and Anna stood up again, and began to walk deeper into the sewers.
