Chapter 14: Fermentation
"If I don't get up, I'm going to beat you!"
A violent shaking sound sounded, and Le Xiao woke up, looking at a white figure about half a meter or so formed by the light overflowing from the bracelet, with a bulging body, soft little fists, big round eyes, and a bulging mouth, the small fists kept beating Le Xiao's head.
"Got it, I got it now."
Soon the villain smiled and turned into light and shadow and returned to the bracelet, Le Xiao showed a bright smile, the dazzling light of the sun shone in from the window, her cheeks were red, Le Xiao rolled up on the bed with a flower, and smiled like crazy holding the quilt.
She still remembers yesterday's wonderful time, Jean gently took her around the street, he asked Jean a lot of questions, knowing that he likes cigarettes, not very fond of sweets and other daily life interests, in order not to spoil the atmosphere, Le Xiao did not mention anything about 13 subjects, and left Jean's phone number.
"Yay, that's great!"
As soon as I thought of this, Le Xiao took the phone and looked at the number on it, 0013, a four-digit phone number, although it was a little weird, but this is Jean's number, this morning this called the bed puff villain was on the way to shopping yesterday, Le Xiao said that he was always late, Jean bought it for Le Xiao in a light and shadow store, and it cost 300 yuan, although Le Xiao kept refusing, but in the end he fell down under that gentle and handsome face, and accepted it gladly.
After glancing at the time, it was only 7:30, and it was still too late, Le Xiao, who had been sad about her work before, went home last night and received a call from Shi K, the editor-in-chief of the second channel of a weekly, asking her to go to a chain hotel on Circular No. 10 Street at 10 o'clock this morning.
A succession of good fortunes pulled Le Xiao from hell to heaven in an instant, and Le Xiao, whose citizenship level has fallen to level 3, will be finished if he doesn't work hard.
Because of previous financial problems and more than 10 dismissals, after graduating from university, he was still a citizen of 8, and in a few years, he fell to level 3.
All the resumes and working hours of everyone in Bright City are detailed and rigorously recorded, and there is no room for people in the city who don't work hard, and they recommended that kind of job in the 9th Business Division before, but because of Le Xiao's bad resume, it is particularly difficult for her to find a job now.
If this continues, the citizenship level will continue to be reduced, and generally it will be impossible to climb up after it is reduced to level 1, and such a level will be defined as useless garbage, and after a month, the citizenship level will be automatically reduced to 0, unless a miracle occurs.
And now Le Xiao needs to pay attention to the fact that she has not worked for almost two days, if she has not worked for 30 days, she will be interviewed by the 9th Business Section, and she will be forced to recommend a job, if she refuses to do it, she will go to work on the farm near the prison tower, not to mention the low salary, she has to work from morning to night for a month to keep the current citizen level, if she refuses, the citizen level will be directly downgraded.
After eating some leftover liquid special food from yesterday, Le Xiao went out, and as soon as she ran to the underground station, Le Xiao was dizzy, her heart was pounding, her hands and feet were sore, and she pressed her head.
"I've been a little bit inactive lately."
The train was speeding all the way, and after three stations, at 8 o'clock Le Xiao was already standing on the circular No. 10 Street, which she was still familiar with.
Outside a 20-storey high-rise hotel, it was already full of people, all of whom were fellow reporters, Shi Khan didn't seem to have come yet, Le Xiao quietly looked at many passers-by outside the hotel and said angrily.
The Shuchang hotel chain was exposed because of the unauthorized provision of special services for men and women in the hotel, as well as illegal gambling activities, and now their reputation has plummeted, and many people have taken away the 9th Commercial Section and the 5th Public Security Management Section for investigation, and now they are going to hold a press conference, as many as 30 hotels in the city have been closed for nearly a month.
"Lele, it's you, long time no see."
Le Xiao turned his head, and a 40-year-old man with a vicissitudes of life on his face stood in front of Le Xiao with a smile.
Xu Ming, the owner of the first warm news agency to serve as an intern after Le Xiao's graduation, at first Le Xiao was full of enthusiasm and worked hard to report a large number of warm and positive energy events in the society, but this society doesn't know what's wrong, no one likes to watch this kind of news, their news agency originally only had four or five people, plus the traffic was not good, and they couldn't make ends meet, and finally went out of business.
Everyone likes to watch violent and bloody things, and what they like to watch is entertainment gossip, or some special reports exclusive to adults.
"Brother Xu, it's okay that you heard that you became a freelance journalist."
Xu Ming smiled and nodded, his smile slightly bitter.
"Lele, I heard that you were dismissed again, do you want to .......?"
Before Xu Ming finished speaking, there was a violent roar at the door, the hotel door opened, and the reporters began to line up to get in, Shi Kline also appeared, walking briskly with Mana, Le Xiao had prepared the manuscript last night, and the questions that might need to be asked on the spot.
"I'm sorry Brother Xu, if you have time tonight, I'll invite you."
The surging crowd and the long queue in front of the large light and shadow hazard measuring machine that appeared at the door, Shi Kline was explaining a lot of things to Le Xiao.
Then when it was Le Xiao's turn, he just walked to the danger measuring machine like a gate, and instantly a green light lit up on the light and shadow screen next to him, and Le Xiao blinked suspiciously, everyone else had to scan for a few minutes, and he passed in 1 second.
"Sure enough, it's very good, it passed in 1 second."
Both Mana and Sk went to the next room to complete their full body search, and interrogated a lot of things, before they were able to enter.
"In a few days' press conference of Sanlian, this idiot will come in handy."
"Things can be brought in by her, foolproof, we waited at the gate of the 2nd branch for a few months before we finally found someone who could use it, I will go and gather everyone tonight, don't have any mistakes, you must communicate well with this little girl."
Shk snorted and smiled sinisterly.
All day, 13 hours, Le Xiao got a salary of 260 yuan, and he was so tired that he couldn't move at all, and when he went home, Le Xiao lay on the bed, smiling with satisfaction, and he had to meet Xu Ming in a while.
It will be just after 10 o'clock, Le Xiao plans to take a shower and go to the bar on the corner, and today Smith Kline said that if the next report is good, he will recommend himself to the boss of the company and can work in a weekly.
"I've finally handed in good luck, and I'll be able to ask Jean to come out tomorrow."
.......
Located in the middle of the industrial avenue on the west side of the middle of the city, a huge building with a red cross background and the number 4 logo, the 4th medical department, the 19th hospital is still busy at this time, and the five-storey square building with a huge area is transparent, and there are people flashing from time to time.
Medical care as the foundation of a society, from the beginning of the establishment of the bright city, medical affairs are undertaken by the Congress, all citizens only need a low price to go to the medical department for treatment, but some special diseases, if you need expensive biotechnology drugs, the price will also be very expensive, only some minor illnesses and small pains are low.
At this time, in the third basement floor of the 19th Hospital, in an aisle, Jean quietly looked at the case data on a light and shadow screen, Michelle next to him covered his nose, and the pungent smell of disinfectant water filled the air.
Nearby, an officer of the 4th Medical Department in black uniform stood and waited, flanked by a patient room with a beam of light that had penetrated his body.
The application of light and shadow in medical technology has been in medicine for half a century, and now it is relatively mature, after entering the human body through special light, after the lesion or inflammation is materialized, the treatment begins, and drugs can be fed, or even surgery can be carried out, and the treatment is directly from the inside.
"This is the data of your hospital, I want specific data, I need to know the specific number of victims."
"Patients with angiomyomatosis are divided into three stages, and the number of patients in the onset stage is huge, and Lord Jean cannot be counted for the time being, and patients in the deterioration stage ........"
The medical staff of the 4th section, who was wearing a white mask next to him, had a look in his eyes and glanced at Michelle who was wearing a white uniform next to him.
"Tell me the truth."
"A total of 15,783 people, the number is mainly in the slums, and many neighborhoods in the lower layers cannot be counted for the time being."
Jean looked at the patients in the ward, whose bodies had been severely deformed, their skin was black in many places, and they were so painful that they could no longer speak.
"There are about 1,384 patients in the death period, and we have 160 people here, there is no means of treatment at this stage, and after eating liquid food for a long time, the pathological lesions are being studied and investigated, and we must get the specific things added, and we have to be specific to the particle level."
Jean turned off the light screen, leaned back in the hallway, silently lit a cigarette, and tilted his head.
The problem has begun to ferment gradually, the 4th Medical Department discussed with Sanlian Company half a year ago, hoping that they would hand over the particle ratio document of liquid food, but it has been delayed until now, and it is impossible to get it, the problem is getting more and more serious, and there are already rumors in the society that there is a problem with liquid food, in order to be able to suppress all this, a month ago, the 4th Medical Department announced a fake news, the cause of the infectious disease, and the characteristics of the infection, only a certain part of the population will be infected.
"But now we have found that some people have special antibodies in their blood that can resist angiofibroids, and patients who are currently dying can only remove fibroids from the blood vessel walls to temporarily save their lives."
After glancing at the patients in the room again, Jean turned and walked, and Michelle followed briskly.
"Lord Jean, this matter must not be messed up, otherwise it will ........"
Jean nodded, he knew very well that if the problems of the Sanlian Company were really exposed, the whole society would probably bleed in an instant, so Jean wanted the Sanlian Company to take the initiative to admit that because some of the food was contaminated and the like, so that he would pay money and find a way to cure the people, so that taking the initiative to admit it was far better than the day when the matter really exploded, and the impact on the whole society could be mitigated.
Walking onto the street, the empty medical take-off and landing planes hurriedly returned to the hospital, and a new batch of patients in the deterioration stage entered the hospital again.
"Lord Jean, just keep pressing, poverty is the original sin, if these people work hard when they are young and strong, they don't have to lose their lives for a can of liquid food for 1 yuan at this time."
"The matter can't be suppressed, those guys who have already discovered the hidden filth of the Sanlian Company will expose all this."
The two walked all the way, most of the workers in the factory at this point had just gotten off work, and all the nearby factories were domes, and the largest area could receive sunlight in order to provide electricity to all the equipment in the factory.
All the exhaust gases and waste generated will be discharged directly into the deep ditch on the outskirts of the Bright City through the underground pipes that were planned and laid at the beginning.
The feeling of strength and incompetence permeated his body, and Jean walked briskly down the street, and soon came to the stairs to the lower level, where the light was very faint, dotted, and in many places pitch black.
"Help me find out where the people who developed this liquid food were in the first place."
Michelle sat down and shook her head.
"Lord Jean, those personnel are only afraid that they have died or been exiled, as for the formula, I am afraid that only the three founders know, but I am afraid that they will not say it if they die, because once they fall, many people will be involved behind them, and the entire interest group will never allow this kind of thing to happen."
Jean stood up and smiled as he looked farther away at the darkened barrier.
"There may still be hope, just solve all the essential problems, and if there is not enough food, let the food supply be enough to meet every corner of the city."
Michelle smiled and shook her head.
"The rhetoric of 12 to establish an agricultural base in the barrier area is just a beautiful and intoxicating bubble, and if it is really to be implemented, it will be met with many obstacles, just as most people will be full of hope as long as they see the sun tomorrow, and such a bubble will be as dazzling as the sun in their eyes."
Jean took a step forward and stepped down the stairs.
"You go back tonight, Michelle, I've got to take care of something."
Michelle was startled, as if she sensed something.
"What exactly are you going to do, Lord Jean?"
"It's just dirty work, so you better not go to Michelle, don't you have a serious cleanliness habit?"
Looking at Michelle with a puzzled look, Jean said.
"I would go to the pipeline that discharged the waste, find the waste that Sanlian produced after the food, and then I could find the particle grade formula from it."
With a snort, Jean was gone, and Michelle covered her mouth and looked incredulously into the distance.
