31 The World of Lies (5)
The beast drove its flying machine to the outskirts of Dozdor City, which was a suburb, but it was not uninhabited. The wide street of Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info is lined with 30-storey residential buildings, and it is called a suburb only because its contrast is the city center full of mega-buildings, each of which can accommodate up to 30,000 people at the same time.
He arrived at the retirement center, a two-hundred-meter-tall cone-shaped building, like a top hat, but with many disc-shaped platforms extending out as a landing point for the aircraft.
Regardless of the whistle of the emergency ambulance aircraft behind him, he grabbed a landing spot without grace, and after parking the aircraft, he took the maglev ladder to the thirteenth floor of the retirement center, and there was a small room of fifty square meters on this floor that he called home.
When he opened the door to his room, he saw his elderly mother sitting in a chair looking at his long-dead father's last photo. The LCD TV hanging on the wall broadcasts current news: in the past two days, parades have been held in many cities across the country, and the number of marchers has reached more than half a million. The slogans of their demonstrations were rising unemployment, the imperfection of the pension system, and the advancing robot plan. Some terrorist organizations even took this opportunity to create riots, which led to clashes between the police and the people, and the death toll has reached 12 people.
"Mom", the beast rushed forward and hugged his mother.
"Who are you?"
Looking at the dazed mother, the beast's tears could no longer be controlled, dripping down the cold floor like a stream. Ten years ago, he was sent to unify Jidao in Xiba Prefecture, and in order to protect his family's safety, the secret police department signed an agreement with him, which stipulated that the secret police department must declare him dead in the line of duty and take care of his mother.
Unexpectedly, his mother couldn't accept the death of her only son, went insane, and tried suicide many times. Although her mother's condition has improved a lot after so many years, she has long forgotten that she once had a son who was a police officer.
The beast struggled to stabilize his emotions, and after wiping away the tears from his cheeks, he called his mother's personal nurse using the bedside communication device.
Soon a middle-aged woman with a ponytail came to the room, she was the mother of the beast for ten years, and she exclaimed: "Mr. Locke, you are a great good man, you have to come once a month, if this lady's son is still alive, he must be proud to have such a colleague as you." ”
The more the nurse said this, the more heartache the beast felt, the old man in front of him was his mother, but he could only visit his mother as his son's police colleague, and this lonely old man looked at her husband's last photo with a blank face, not knowing that the young man next to him was the crystallization of love between himself and her husband, which was really sad and ridiculous.
"What does the doctor say about the old lady's condition?" The beast asked.
"They said that the latest drug was already available for Madame's illness, and the efficacy was twice as good as the previous drug. But brain degeneration can only be suppressed by medications. Maybe in a few years Madame will be incapacitated. The nurse said with sorrow in his eyes.
The corners of the beast's eyes seemed to flash with tears again, he took a deep breath and raised his head, the reason for this was to let the tears flow back into his eyes, and after a while, he took out a black bank card from his arms and handed it to the nurse, saying: "Yvonne, I have long regarded you as my own family, and now I am going to leave for a while, maybe for a long time." Here are 30 million bhikshu coins, you take them, help me take care of the old lady. ”
Yvonne looked in amazement at the thirty million bhikshu coins that the beast had transferred to her, "You... How can there be so much money!? ”
The beast lied: "These are all I made by trading stocks, Yvonne, promise me to help me take care of the old lady." I was sent undercover this time, and I may die in the line of duty one day, so I think it is better to leave some money for the old lady, after all, Ohag saved my life before, and he is gone, and I will repay his mother. ”
"Mr. Locke, I promise you to take good care of Madame, when will you come back from this trip?"
"This kind of thing can't be done in a few years, and maybe it will never come back." The beast kissed his mother on the forehead before leaving, and the moment he closed the door of his room, he whispered, "Farewell, Mom." ”
The beast went to the top floor of the retirement center, where there was only a dozen square meters to stand on, but he stood very steady, looking at the bustling scene downstairs, he couldn't help but shed tears. "Quit, quit the power struggle, maybe they'll let my family go when I'm dead." Just as he mustered up the courage to jump, a trace of fear suddenly rose in his heart, and his trembling legs no longer obeyed his call. He lay on the ground in fear and weakness to hide his face and cry bitterly, "No, I can't die, as long as I don't die for a day, they won't dare to touch my family." ”
The beast decides to take the evidence of the crimes of the royal family and the Casey faction to survive and fight for his family's survival.
On the same day, he fled to a small town called Ruiz in Xiba Prefecture, where he did not dare to withdraw money from his bank account, knowing that the intelligence agencies of the royal family and the Casey faction would be able to find him through the bank account information.
After only nine days, he spent all the money on him, most of which he used to buy anti-reconnaissance tools, such as signal jammers disguised as rings, 3D printed bionic human faces. On the day when he had no choice but to be a homeless, Lei Ming and others in the wasteland were exploring the jungle, and no one would have thought that one day in the future, fate would make them intersect.
The cold wind blew on the thin body of the beast, he had changed into a loose and oily green robe, the unruly bubble noodle hair was also greasy, and his face had changed greatly, his face was full of pockmarks and beards, and he looked about fifty years old, this was because he wore a 3D printed bionic human skin, which was done to guard against the electronic troops.
In the Dazzling Light Empire, the royal family and the Casey faction have their own electronic troops, and the ordinary people of the empire have almost no privacy in front of them, and the electronic troops can quietly implant viruses in the mobile phones of ordinary people or the monitors visible on the street, which can make the infected electronic devices become the carrier of the face recognition system, that is, when a person walks on the street with a mobile phone, everything that the mobile phone's camera sees along the way will be monitored by the electronic troops. Regardless of whether the phone has video recording or photography turned on, and even when the phone is turned off, the electronic troops can silently monitor everything that the camera can see.
The entire Dazzling Empire has 1.5 billion mobile phone users, and there are countless monitors in streets, residential buildings, office buildings, parks, etc., and the Dazzling Empire has at least more than 3 billion monitorable electronic devices that can be used as the carrier of the face recognition system, so if the beast does not change its face, then if the royal family and the Casey faction want to find him, it is as simple as finding a person hiding in their own home.
It's midday, and people are enjoying their meals, while the beasts roam the streets of Reze like the walking dead, their godless eyes glancing at the campaign slogans plastered all over the streets. This month is the gubernatorial election month in Xiba State, and the twelve candidates have invested a lot of money and energy to compete for the governor's position, but the beast knows that no matter which of the twelve people is elected governor, his future policy will not be his final say, because he is just a puppet of the royal family.
At the moment, in an ordinary small restaurant, a group of people are talking and enjoying food to their heart's content, and the large LCD TV in the center of the restaurant is playing the campaign speech.
On the podium on the screen walked a candidate whose name was Bailie, one of the most promising candidates.
"Thank you, thank you very much. Members of Congress, distinguished guests, dear compatriots. Bailie on the screen spoke to his heart's content.
"Today is the gubernatorial campaign speech day in Xiba State, and I am here with gratitude to give people confidence that I can lead you to a more prosperous future! I was a victim of war, and both of my parents were killed in terrorist attacks. There are no longer a few people who have the same background as me. But after the war, we are still working together to build a better home. We have built a modern economic system and built a high-speed rail across the American continent. The territory of the Yaoguang Empire is vast, and it is not only the three million iron masters who protect this country, but also the two billion citizens! ”
The audience on the screen gave him thunderous applause.
