Chapter 15: Orange on Alert
In the dark bottom edge of the west, Michelle covered her nose and quietly stared at Jean, who was silently smoking a cigarette and tilting her head in front of her.
Jean's eyes glowed blue, and in the breeze, beautiful blue crystalline particles flew in the wind, like streamers, and like bright stars in the dark night sky.
Michelle wears glasses that change the shape of the liquid, and she can clearly see everything around her, and there is a disgusting smell in the wind.
The liquid shape change glasses that emit a faint red light are another amazing technology for human beings in the Bright City in addition to the materialization of light and shadow, which can make many small objects on weekdays, and even some larger objects, in the form of liquids, compressed and stored in a special substance the size of a fingernail shell, which is easy to carry, and when used, as long as the liquid is slightly touched, it will begin to change its shape and be restored to objects.
This technology was first applied to firearms technology, which was first developed by the military, but then gradually applied to the city, but these things are not as materialized as light and shadow, relatively safe, and can be controlled, when this technology was opened before, it was used by criminals, causing great harm to the city, so it has been under the strict control of the 5th Public Security Management Section, because it is only the size of a fingernail shell after compression and liquefaction and is easy to carry.
This huge ravine with a width of 5 kilometers in front of you, like a moat, surrounds the Bright City, and all the buildings in the city are made of stone from this deep ditch, from the beginning of the construction of the Bright City, under the leadership of a genius planner, everything for the entire city in 300 years has been planned.
This deep ditch has been mined for hundreds of years by humans to build houses, and the western part of the country, because it is an industrial area, has stopped the mining of stone, and is used to discharge waste from the entire city, in addition to the south and east, which are higher than here, there are also remote northern parts that can be discharged.
Because of the topography, a large amount of waste will flow to the west, here is now a foul smell, about 10,000 meters deep, as long as the wind blows, the stench will permeate the town behind it, so this place is also called the stench area.
In the desolate stench area, only a few places where the fire is shaking, most families will hold together at night and burn some garbage from the ramparts to light it.
Seven or eight kilometers away from here, is the West Security Station, Michelle looked at Jean with a worried face, had already taken out the rope from the light and shadow storage box, and began to find a place to fix it.
Michelle couldn't imagine what it would be like to go directly into the waste discharge pipeline, and there are many places in the industrial zone in the middle west that are the production and distribution factories of Sanlian.
"Forget it, Lord Jean, even if it's you......."
Jean said with a smile.
"Michelle, did you know that two centuries ago, there was a kind of worker in human society, the sewer worker, whose job was to deal with some blockages and other problems in the foul-smelling sewers?"
Michelle retched, she couldn't stand the stench and the stench, and she couldn't imagine the sewer worker that Jean was talking about.
Jean's determination to go to the sewer to find particle-grade chemical raw materials has been decided, in the afternoon, he and the head of the 9th business section after learning about the situation, then went straight to the hospital, to find out the current situation, the number of potential patients is probably already millions, this symptom is more suspicious of poisoning, so it is very important to figure out the industrial ratio of particle grade, as long as you touch the waste disposal pipeline under the manufacturing workshop of Sanlian Company, what kind of industrial raw materials they use can be seen at a glance.
Anyone who wants to enter this kind of big business investigation can either force his way in or apply for an investigation order from Congress, but both of these will make the problem self-defeating, and Jean must find a way to deal with it before a bigger storm comes.
After securing the rope, Jean was about to go down.
"Lord Jean, you can't do it for the sake of those untouchables........"
Jean lit a cigarette and tilted his head with a smile.
"Michelle, the 13 branches exist to solve the problem, since that group of businessmen does not plan to hand over any industrial raw material ratio, and then continue to investigate is just a waste of time, go down to everything can be determined quickly, the early development of the antidote, the problem can be solved a day earlier, if you sit still, then 10 million hungry and angry people will start to riot day and night, which is more important?"
Jean said and jumped down with the rope, and slipped down in an instant, extremely fast, he quickly stopped at a large excrement pipe a kilometer away with the image in his memory, a pipe more than ten meters high, and a number 36 printed next to it, which is the discharge pipe in the industrial area.
Sure enough, when Jean was just approaching the mouth of the pipe, he felt a violent pungent smell coming to his nose, after he took the last puff of cigarette, he flashed into the pipe in an instant, his blue eyes burst into a violent blue light, sizzling, Jean looked at the clothes on his body, which had been corroded by the violent chemicals in the air, he took a step, and felt a sticky under his feet, and his shoes began to corrode.
Jean smiled, and suddenly he ran and quickly entered the pipes, and soon he came to the fork, there were several huge black pipes five meters wide, and he found the right way to the underground of the western factory area.
As the minutes passed, Jean kept running, the clothes on his body were almost corroded, his skin was exposed, and some places began to become charred, if ordinary people came in, I am afraid that they would not be able to survive even 1 minute.
The air is filled with a variety of chemical particles, and if you inhale one puff of these toxic particles, your lungs may become infected.
Although Jean could move faster, he gave up, because these fragile pipes could not withstand his strength.
Michelle looked at the rope with an anxious face, she had already reported the current situation to Locke Jiahui, and she always felt vaguely uneasy in her heart, maybe this is the nature of women, she can't resist, and the biggest reason is that Michelle doesn't understand, even if some people die, the 4th Medical Department has begun to collect serum from some people who have produced antibodies in their bodies after eating special food, and in a few months at most, the antidote can be developed, and the maximum number of deaths at that time will reach 200,000 at most, and most of them are people at the bottom, It's not worth Jean's doing.
The 4th Medical Section has sent the best medical experts to the airport on the take-off and landing planes.
A violent roar pierced the sky, and the people in the town behind them also woke up, and a large oval take-off and landing plane with a pair of wings flew over and slowly fell, and many residents of the stench area came out, but soon with the moment the take-off and landing plane fell, a voice shouted.
"Erect a cordon, and anyone who dares to step on the cordon will be shot."
Michelle frowned, looked over with a serious face, a fierce wind blew, and a soldier of the 3rd Section wearing a black uniform and loaded guns immediately erected a human wall, pulled up a cordon, and began to drive away the onlookers.
She was followed by Niya, the section chief of the 5th Public Security Management Section, who walked out of the cabin with a cigarette in her mouth wearing only a coat and a button on her chest, followed by many people from the 5th Section.
Suddenly, more and more onlookers gathered, and many people had the mentality of trying, and Niya strode towards the Sky Scar.
"Get out of the way, the scope of the city is our territory."
Michelle saw that the situation was wrong, and walked over quickly, but this would make Michelle feel cold all over her body with a strong smell of disinfectant water, and a man with silver hair came out of the take-off and landing plane, wearing a white coat, with his hands in his pockets, and walked out with a smile, exuding an elegant temperament, and a noble air in his gestures.
"Why did you come here in person, Lord Huashen."
Michelle looked at the man in front of her in surprise, Hua Shen, the head of the 4th Medical Department, is the leading medical expert in the bright city, and is also an innovator in medicine, inventing countless drugs and medical technology, like a god-like man, just like his name.
Huashen smiled and turned his head and shouted.
"You two, don't fight, first persuade the people who are watching to go home, I don't want tomorrow's headlines to be tonight."
Eventually, Scar compromised, and soon the personnel of Section 5 quickly entered the city, began to persuade the onlookers, and searched all their media equipment, because someone had just secretly taken pictures, and finally because of the manpower, the personnel of the 3rd Military Section also joined in.
Huashen stood on the edge of the ravine, looking down contemplatively.
"How long has Jean been down?"
"1 hour and 37 minutes."
Hua Shen nodded and sat down, smiling lightly.
"I'm here to get first-hand information, to make sure it's accurate, and to know right away about the toxicity of the chemical raw materials that invade the human body and other things, and to prevent something from happening."
Michelle looked at Hua Shen suspiciously, and didn't ask more.
........
With a violent cough and wheezing, Jean picked up the particle level tester with difficulty, he no longer had a good piece of skin on his body, and he was walking with difficulty in the black liquid that thickened his waist, and blood was constantly spilling from the corners of his mouth.
"Oh no, I'm a little confused."
Jean said and took out a cigarette, lit it and just took a puff, and instantly the blood coughed up, he smiled slightly, and was about to lose consciousness, but suddenly his eyes widened, and with a bang, the viscous liquid wrapped around his body instantly bounced away, as if to give a force to stop it, but soon the pipe wall creaked, and cracks appeared in some places.
"Ellie, it's enough to shed blood day and night, and it's not easy for humans to stand in the sun, but they have to return to the era of only killing, and I will never allow this to happen."
A little bit of Jean fell into the mud again, if the pipeline was damaged, it would be a disaster for the western industrial area, he could only continue to move forward, but the pipeline in front of him came quickly, and it was extremely difficult to get out.
"I've probably been infected for seven or eight years."
Gene had a pimple on his face, blood seeping from his pores from time to time, he still kept smiling, smoking a cigarette, and moving on, the only thing that could light the way in the dark sewers was his blue eyes.
With a click, Jean's feet were slippery, and in an instant he slipped to the main pipeline, the huge main pipeline was only about 500 meters, long and straight, Jean breathed a sigh of relief, his mind moved, and his body turned into a violent streamer, and rushed out with a bang like a rocket launch.
With a loud bang, Jean had already rushed out of the pipe, one hand firmly grabbed the rope, and a white beam of light instantly hit the opposite mountain wall, and there was a violent explosion, and the fire was soaring.
After a tug, Jean felt someone pull him from above, and when he got to the edge, the blood blisters on Jean's face had disappeared, and the charred area on his body began to heal itself, and a hand grabbed him.
"It's dangerous, you walking human nuke."
After Jean smiled and went up, he stood up straight, not far away it had become a pot of porridge, Michelle looked at Jean in shock, but she didn't know why, she was very excited in her heart, she walked over quickly in awe, and took a coat printed with 13 on it to put on Jean.
"Thank you, Lord Jean."
"Is that enough?"
A small bench-sized machine with countless tentacles-like tendrils is tinkering with Huashen.
"Well, that's enough, I'll be able to make an antidote in three hours at most when I get back."
A cigarette was thrown from a distance, like a bullet, and Jean caught it between his fingers and put it to his mouth, and Nia walked over slowly.
"Don't meddle anymore Jean, count me on your beg, just now Congress has issued an orange alert, and the whole city has begun to enter a period of alert."
Looking at the blood spilling from the corner of Jean's mouth, Niya felt her heart pounding.
"Go back and recuperate for a few days, Jean."
Hua Shen behind him got up and said with a smile.
"Do you want me to give you a shot of Jean, you'll recover faster."
At this time, many of the staff members who gathered around looked into the distance with wide eyes, where there was still smoke and fire, and a large piece of the mountain wall was concave, as if it had been hit by a missile.
Jean walked up slowly, tilted his head to look at Huashen and said with a smile.
"No, I'm most afraid of injections."
Jean walked up behind Scar, and as soon as Scar turned, Jean stripped off his coat and wrapped it around him.
"Borrow your coat for it."
The moment the sky scar turned around, the Jean people were nowhere to be found.
"You two, when you go back, tell your men that nothing happened tonight, you know?"
Niya glanced back at the mountain wall again and waved her hand helplessly.
