Chapter 727: 49 Days of Cataclysm (4)

Outside the concentric protective net, strong winds, heavy rains, and thunder and lightning are raging; The net was a lively and peaceful scene. For safety and other reasons, ordinary citizens are required to temporarily live in several large open spaces, including the central square. Dense tents were set up there, guarded by mechs.

In each temporary settlement, there is a Star Soul Gene Transplantation and Transformation Office. Thousands of citizens lined up in long queues under the care of security and technical personnel, and received the Star Soul gene transplantation in batches and in an orderly manner.

On the basis of prudent argumentation, Zhongcheng proposed a set of star soul gene transplantation and transformation plans for all citizens, which condensed the wisdom of Lin Zaishan and many people. The main contents of this package include the following aspects:

(1) Improve the physical and intellectual level of citizens. Greatly enhance basic sports qualities such as endurance, strength, and speed, as well as basic perception abilities such as sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch; Improve citizens' memory, calculation, language, imagination and other intelligence.

(2) Gives citizens 3 basic abilities: self-repair, skin enhancement, and lightning, which increase survival and combat ability by a hundredfold.

(3) Immunity to various known biological viruses and the initial ability to resist the Star Soul Virus.

(4) Implant the memory of basic science, humanities, and astrology knowledge into the citizens.

(5) In order to prevent citizens from being mentally controlled by bad forces, highly encrypted protection codes are also embedded in their star souls, and a spirit of self-improvement and continuous struggle for good, as well as a concentric ethic of working together and helping each other.

Originally, in terms of technical means, more renovations could have been carried out, but after repeated consideration, Lin Zaishan believed that this move might cause citizens to breed the psychology of unearned gains and mental disorders, and it was easy to distort human nature and aggravate the curse of heaven, so it was not included in the project.

The transplantation and editing of the Star Soul gene requires a relatively quiet and undisturbed environment, and the most suitable place to carry out this work is an underground secret laboratory; But it is impossible to open it to the public. To this end, the R&D team with Dr. Sam, Xu Yuxin, Zhao Feiyan, Zhiyangyang and others as the backbone specially designed a set of processing cabins: the red one is called the blood replenishment cabin or the resurrection cabin, which is used to treat the injured and resurrected people, and reinstall the recovered star soul into the body; The blue one is called the augmentation pod, which is used to transplant the star soul genes and codes; The green one is called the decontamination chamber and is mainly used to detect and remove viruses.

The transplantation and transformation project of the Star Soul gene used a strengthened cabin. These capsules are mounted to the vehicle and can be used in a mobile manner. All the cabins are uniformly deployed by Lin Fuzi, and the transplantation and transformation of the citizen's star soul gene is also automatically controlled by it, without personnel interfering. All the staff has to do is to ensure order, publicity, pacification and logistics.

At first, there were fewer cabins, and only more than 100 people could be processed per hour; But as more and more capsules were produced, the efficiency also increased rapidly, eventually reaching more than 1,000 people per hour. At this rate, it will take about 1 week at most, and all the citizens of Mid-City will receive a round of transplantation and transformation of the Star Soul gene. At that time, the quality of personnel, mental outlook, lifestyle and the existence of Midtown will undergo earth-shaking changes in the quality of the citizens.

The Midtown authorities had expected that there would be dissatisfaction with the project and even protests and riots, but the reality was that everyone was jubilant and eager to take the initiative. After years of suffering and torture in the last days, evolution and becoming stronger have become the deepest expectation of every survivor, especially those citizens at the bottom below the fourth level, who are deeply vulnerable and powerless, even if they sacrifice their personality and take risks in order to gain new abilities, not to mention the "welfare project" that is currently being implemented in Midtown like a free vaccination. No one cares about the species mutation and ethical issues that the genetic engineering of the Star Soul may cause, and everyone cares about what kind of bullish abilities they will get.

Although the transplantation and transformation project of the Star Soul Gene has not yet been completed, the changes brought by it have been clearly felt throughout the city. Not to mention the fact that more and more people are rushing to the recruitment office to apply for jobs that were previously considered unattainable, people's expressions alone have become markedly different from the original: the "bitter and hateful" look on the faces of the low-level citizens has disappeared, replaced by more confidence and hopeful joy. The triple damage of wind, rain, and lightning that roared overhead was completely forgotten.

In the settlements, in the offices of various departments, in the factories and workshops, you can see everywhere that people are actively learning astrology in their free time, and people's conversations are full of astrology terms. Astrology is not only the basic means of governance in the middle city, but also an effective tool that is consciously used in the lives of citizens. The various positions set up in the recruitment market in Midtown will put forward requirements in terms of the level and characteristics of the star soul, and even the garbage classification management of the Ministry of Environmental Sanitation refers to the star soul science standard.

The citizens who have completed the transplantation and transformation are enthusiastically practicing and demonstrating their various new abilities. In Midtown Square, people rushed to discharge electricity, so much so that many tents were burned down by electric shocks.

Some people, out of curiosity, couldn't help but blitz each other, wanting to test the power of the actual battle. To their surprise, however, when trying to attack other citizens, the lightning ability was inactivated. The Midtown authorities had long anticipated the possibility of citizens attacking each other with their newly acquired abilities, so they took a safety precaution.

In this transplantation and renovation project, those citizens who have reached the critical point are passively promoted. This move has added more than 300 fourth-level and more than 20 fifth-level star souls to Midtown.

At the general headquarters of the city hall, checking the feedback information from all sides, Lin Zaishan breathed a sigh of relief. If the city-wide Star Soul Transplantation and Transformation Project is successfully completed, he will be able to detach himself from all kinds of specific technical and transactional work to a considerable extent, and concentrate on breaking the curse of the fire thieves.

Although the Fire Stealer's 49-day curse has lasted for more than 2 weeks so far, Midtown is still vibrant, and its overall strength has improved qualitatively; But Lin Zaishan didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and he concluded that the curse of the Fire Thief definitely had more powerful tricks.

He still hasn't been able to decipher all of the code for the Slaughter Curse. The scary thing about this kind of advanced dynamic composite code is that the code is invisible and unknown until the consequences occur; No matter how powerful a character is, it is difficult to parse all the source code from the surface.

"If my time difference is strong, I can travel back to 49 days to collect information. It's a pity that the information deciphered from the Rubik's Cube says that the advanced ability to control time can only be achieved by a level 10 star soul, and such a strong person may not exist even in the advanced plane. ”

If you can't do something difficult, then do something less difficult first. As the Star Soul Gene Transplantation Project is nearing completion, how to effectively resettle nearly 100,000 citizens who no longer have to worry about filling their stomachs has become a problem that has to be considered. It is strange if the so-called adults who are full of warmth and lust, do not worry about eating and drinking, and have excess energy if they have nothing to do all day long and do not cause chaos. Ways must be found to turn the surplus energy of these people into productive forces for the benefit of Midtown, the masses and themselves.

Lin Zaishan was worried, Sun Zhenghong walked in and asked quietly, "Captain, are you free now?" A few old friends in Shencheng want to talk to you privately. ”

"Li Junshuang and Zhou Ruyi?"

"Exactly."

"I know why they're looking for me." Lin Zaishan smiled slightly, "You can accompany me to meet old friends in Shencheng." ”

Lin Zaishan returned to his office, and Sun Zhenghong called Li Junshuang and Zhou Ruyi in.

After the two entered the office, they respectfully greeted Lin Zaishan, and then began to shush and ask for warmth.

Sun Zhenghong reminded: "Mr. Lin is very busy every day. If you two have anything, just say it. ”

Zhou and Li glanced at each other, the former was more straightforward after all, and immediately said: "Mr. Lin, it is an eventful time in Midtown now, and the two of us don't want to be idle every day, we both want to contribute to the construction and development of Midtown." ”

Zhou Ruyi and Li Junshuang are both VIPs, and they both moved to Midtown with many of their subordinates. The Midtown election and institutional adjustments did not directly touch the interests of their respective forces, so the two lived a decent life. But now there is a pioneering atmosphere in Midtown, and even ordinary citizens are actively striving for upgrading and evolving. Zhou and Li were outside the mainstream, and when they saw that Wang Chengba, Cao Dacheng, and Du Lili, the original leaders of local forces, had all gained high positions in Zhongcheng, they couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. They want to be able to get a "half-official position" here, and they don't care about salary or anything at all, but they want to be able to integrate into the mainstream.

Lin Zaishan already knew it, and said with a smile: "It's really rare for two old friends to have this intention. Recently, I have been considering whether to set up a Ministry of Employment and a Ministry of Education, separating the educational functions originally undertaken by the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda to the Ministry of Education, which is in charge of Wang Youdao. Such an adjustment would require two new ministers to be appointed to the Ministry of Employment and the Ministry of Culture and Publicity. ”

Zhou Ruyi and Li Junshuang immediately stated: "We are willing to serve!" ”

"I said ugly things ahead, when you hold public office, you have to abide by the rules of public office, you can't be a charlatan, and your subordinates must also make changes."

"Of course, the two of us are willing to disband their respective forces immediately, only keep a few domestic servants and guards, and serve Mr. Lin and Zhongcheng wholeheartedly."

Zhou and Li also made this statement after judging the hour and sizing up the situation and carefully considering it. In the deep apocalypse, the cultivation realm of the astral soul is the real power or the real basis of power, and the way of organizing forces in the old days has been out. No matter how well the two of them know how to win people's hearts, they can't compare to the attraction of Lin Zaishan's star soul gene transplantation and transformation project. What they can give to their subordinates is nothing but things outside of their bodies, but what Lin Zaishan and the Midtown authorities represent can give people is the improvement of their inner qualities and the ability to effectively deal with the threat of the end times. Based on the above considerations, Zhou and Li made up their minds that instead of stubbornly guarding their small forces and waiting to be eliminated, it was better to take the initiative to disband them with a high profile.

"Good. In the afternoon meeting, I will propose the creation of two new departments, the Ministry of Employment and the Ministry of Education, and recommend you as ministers. You are always available. ”

Zhou Ruyi and Li Junshuang left happily.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Zaishan proposed at the meeting to add the Ministry of Employment and the Ministry of Education and adjust the functions of the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda, which was then deliberated and approved by the meeting. Due to the special period, all government affairs in Midtown are simplified, and the release of the new minister does not require too many procedures at all. Lin Zaishan immediately gave a list of candidates, and after asking everyone and having no objections, he appointed them on the spot.

Zhou Ruyi and Li Junshuang also have some real materials, and immediately after they were appointed, they each came up with a set of work plans, Lin Zaishan was very satisfied after seeing it, and the two immediately set about implementing it.

At the consul meeting that night, Huo Qiankun, He Xiaotian, Li Wenxiu, and Sun Zhenghong expressed optimism, and they were full of confidence in Zhongcheng to crack the curse of the city massacre.

"It's definitely not that simple." Lin reminded everyone: "We must maintain a high degree of vigilance. ”

At this time, Lin Fuzi prompted: "The Citizen Star Soul Transplantation and Transformation Project has been completed, and all the citizens below level 5 in Zhongcheng have been disposed of. ”

Huo Qiankun and the others applauded in celebration, and the night sky of Midtown was instantly enveloped by a warm, powerful and mysterious energy.

Lin Zaishan's face changed greatly, he flashed to the window to check the external situation, and ordered loudly: "Master Lin, hurry up and gather all the VIPs to the Great Hall of the City Hall, and let those citizens who have been newly promoted to the fifth level also participate, and no one will be left behind!" ”

Seeing that Lin Zaishan was so nervous, everyone couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lin, what happened?" ”

Before Lin Zaishan could reply, everyone heard Huo Qiankun screaming loudly. The latter's body shape changed drastically, growing to more than 3 meters tall in less than 3 seconds, with a head and face like a crocodile, and skin hardened like scales.

"Ahh He Xiaotian took a few steps back in horror, stroking his head and face with both hands, and then he also transformed, becoming a strange bird more than 2 meters tall with 3 heads.

"Captain Lin, promise me that you must restore me." Sun Zhenghong did not swell, but shrunk, and finally turned into a black cat with a fierce expression.

At this time, Wu Chaoqun's figure appeared on the screen, "Xiaolin, something big has happened!" Du Ziming suddenly transformed into a monster with a height of 4 meters and wreaked havoc in the city. I'm trying to subdue him. ”

2 seconds later, Qin Huanchang also sent a report, "Captain Lin, Feifeng has turned into a big bird like a phoenix and has flown to the protective forest area." ”

This was followed by a number of mutation alarms for sixth-level Star Souls and Level Five-level Star Souls.

Li Wenxiu is worthy of being a person who is also a person with advanced cultivation in Buddhism and Taoism, she did not show the slightest panic, and calmly asked Lin Zaishan: "Xiaolin, what is going on?" ”

Lin Zaishan sighed, "Of course, it's the fire stealer's curse of slaughtering the city. He had long anticipated that we would transplant and modify the Star Soul gene on ordinary citizens, and set it as the trigger for the mutation of the Level 5 Plus Star Soul Person. Once the transplantation and transformation project of nearly 100,000 citizens is completed, the accumulated Heavenly Damnation Energy will be enough to mutate all the fifth-level boosters into monsters. The curse of slaughtering the city is really powerful and vicious! ”
