The afterglow of the sun covered the bright city layer by layer, the breeze was light, and the large golden wheat fields were dyed with a faint golden yellow, and from a distance, the large farms and small towns were scattered around these wheat fields.

To the east of the city, where the middle layer is connected to the lower layer, is the granary of the city, where the output of grain and meat can only meet one-third of the city's supply, so there is a special liquid food substitute, which is a kind of food that the 10th Science Research Division and the 12th Agricultural Division jointly developed using bioculture technology, although there will be a little side effect, but it is minimal for adults, and then some companies and enterprises have purchased patent rights, and improved the production of liquid food.

Jean was standing on a wide road, behind him was a large wholesale market, all of which had reached this point, and a large number of food merchants in the bright city were still gathered here, waiting for the food to come out of the warehouse, and on the left side of the wholesale market you could see large food processing warehouses, lined up one by one, and there would be a large number of people carrying them.

Because of the artificial sun technology on the top of the bright city, the crops here can be 5 ripe a year, but still can't catch up with the supply, originally under the biotechnology of the 10th scientific research department, these crops can mature more quickly, but this is harmful to the human body, under the long-term research, the crops can only be stabilized at 5 ripe in a year, so as not to cause harm to the human body.

The climate of Bright City is warm all year round, there is no season, there will be no rain and snow, and most people here have only seen the seasonal changes of the weather in the past in some video textbooks in their lives.

It's also the only area where vehicles are allowed, while food wholesalers hire professional mutants to carry the ingredients back, and large companies have underground transport pipelines.

Many mutants are not only able to use some supernatural powers because of the abnormality of body cells, but the biggest feature is that they are infinitely powerful, and some mutants can even lift things weighing a ton, but all mutants need to obtain the corresponding documents under the joint supervision of the 2nd City Crisis Analysis and Countermeasures Division, the 5th Urban Public Security Management Division, and the 8th Legal Affairs Division, and the physical assessment once every three months also needs to be examined at the 10th Scientific Research Division to prevent the deterioration of the mutation.

In this grain base, there is not only the 12th Agricultural Section, but also the 11th Criminal Management Section.

Jean walked down the road, smoking a cigarette and looking at a pillar-like building in the distance, which looked like a large chimney in the middle of this grain base.

The 11th Crime Management Division, as the institution that manages all criminals in the Bright City, whether it is robbery, theft, murder and arson, all criminals have only two paths.

Either wear a special collar and work under the supervision of the 11 sections, or they are directly exiled to the barrier area to fend for themselves, and most of the convicts who do not want to leave the sun choose to work here, or work in some underground engineering facilities, until they are released from prison before they can return to society again.

And no matter what kind of criminal he is, if he is old and weak, he will be directly exiled to the barrier area, and those who have no value to society will have no room to survive.

The 11th Offender Management Division is also responsible for the monthly screening of the Barrier Zone, and the only way for those born in the Barrier Zone to come to the sun is to prove that they are valuable to society through the screening, and then they can be authenticated to live in the lower classes.

In the food warehouses on the left and right, heavy trucks were starting up to carry the processed food to the food trading station, and the sun was about to go out.

The light and shadow poles in the wheat field are slowly highlighted, and the electric poles with all-round monitoring and lighting functions, as well as the land nutrient solution spraying function, will immediately spray the explosive bomb water used to extinguish the fire when the fire appears, and the fire can be controlled within 3 seconds.

Basically, there is a multi-purpose agricultural pole 10 meters away, and the pillar-like circular building in front of Jean is already close at hand, a gate is locked, and the prisoners who have worked at this point have returned to the prison tower.

The dark prison tower has no windows, only some small holes that are invisible to the naked eye, which maintain the temperature and ventilation function of the prison tower.

Above the ground of the prison tower that goes straight to the sky are the light criminals who hold LV3 to LV5, and below the ground are the felons who hold LV0 to LV2.

There is a white iron fence background on the gate, with an 11 printed on it.

Jean tilted his head when he came to the door, and soon a concave mirror on the top of the door swept a beam of red light, and after cutting through Jean's body, the small door in the middle of the door opened with a click.

"We've been waiting for the Chief for a long time, Lord Jean."

Jean hummed and smiled as he stepped into the prison tower, where he was greeted by a narrow passage with a large number of convex mirrors on both sides of the walls, which were very irregularly distributed on the walls, which the prisoners called the Road of Death.

Prisoners on the upper floors of the prison tower who want to escape must pass through this path of death, the walls are equipped with light-killing weapons, and it only takes 0.05 seconds for prisoners to enter the passage to be cut into atomic levels, so it is almost impossible to escape.

It is even more unlikely that the perpetrators of mutants have special neck rings that pierce the central nervous system, once they resist or want to escape, the 11th Crime Management Division has the right to directly execute the criminals, and the special neck rings will destroy the central nervous system in an instant, resulting in paralysis of the whole body at best, and direct death at worst.

The receptionist led Jean on the passage, nearly 30 meters of passage soon came to an end, a spacious hall appeared, which was exuding the smell of food, the people of the 11th section were waiting in line to eat, among them was a tall, thin, slender and crooked middle-aged man, wearing the uniform of the 11th department, with a handsome face, long black hair, generous and decent manners, and his subordinates were happy with the man, the head of the 11th criminal management section, Jewell.

"Yo, Jean hasn't seen you in a long time."

Jewell smiled when he saw Jean and walked over with a plate of food.

"Would you like to have a meal together?"

Jean glanced at the sticky curry on the plate, and lost his appetite for a moment, he had been here for a short time, and the food here was really a little unpalatable.

A pair of surprised eyes in the hall cast over, Jewell smiled awkwardly, and a girl with glasses next to him walked over and bowed solemnly, taking the curry rice in Jewell's hand.

"Just take me down."

Jewell took Jean through a passage with thick doors on the left, and slowly opened one gate after another, a total of 10 gates made of special substances, sturdy and sturdy, only a small lift-level elevator, and down here was the underground labor place of the criminals.

"I've heard that it's not been peaceful in the city lately."

Jewell took the cigarette that Jean handed him, and after Gene lit it for Jewell, he took a puff and coughed.

"It's you Jewell, who is in ........ physical condition."

"Lord Jean, I hope you will persuade our section chief, he has been hanging out in the nightclubs of Qinglong District a lot recently, and he has also brought some prison wardens to go there collectively, I don't know how he got into such a bad habit, and if he continues like this, ........ continue."

The girl with glasses is Jewell's secretary, Song Xuan, who is very rigid and does things with a clear look, and feels indignant and repulsed by Jewell's lingering in nightclubs.

"Xiao Xuan, I'll take you with me one day, there is a good man in the store over there, strong and ......."

"No need for the section chief, I've been to the store with my friends a long time ago, and the men in it are just a bunch of indiscriminate, disgusting talk, and they look like that, as for the body....... I'm a good-looking pie. ”

Jean smiled helplessly and patted Jewell on the shoulder.

"Be careful, you're going to suck it up if you keep going like this."

Jewell said with a cough.

"My body is still great, it's just a little sick, it should be fine for another 50 years, it's not a problem to come once or twice a day, and it's ......."

With a snap, Song Xuan slapped Jewell's mouth.

"Section chief, please shut up, it's already here, and Lord Jean is here to get down to business."

Jewell watched Song Xuan politely take Jean out of the elevator and couldn't help muttering.

"What's so good about Jean, you have so much respect for him, what about me? I'm your boss, but ........"

Song Xuan turned his head and glared at Jewell.

"Section Chief, the gap between you and Lord Jean is that one is a reptile on the ground, and the other is the sun in the sky."

At the end of a wide passage, there were more than twenty people on duty in a special glass house in front of them, which was the lowest level of the prison tower, and this long glass house was more like a wall than a room.

Directly opposite is a place like a mine, and the LV0 prisoners below are all free, what they need to do is to dig a hole day and night, and the original LV0 prisoners are not held here.

At the suggestion of the 3rd Military Section, Bright City has begun a 30-year burrowing plan ten years ago, the world outside the isolation barrier has long been unsuitable for human habitation, even the air is deadly, and because of the impact of the planet, a large number of unknown substances have appeared in the world that has begun to change, and in recent years, it has been discovered through the monitoring post on the isolation barrier, but it is very difficult for people to investigate outside the isolation barrier.

In the past, when going out from the air, out of the isolation layer established with new materials, it had to face too many unknown dangers, and the military department had no way to bring back more effective information from the outside in the past few years, and most of it was gone, and the communication with other cities could only rely on long-distance special signal waves, without any means of transportation.

Eventually, under the combined advice of the 2nd Urban Crisis Analysis and Countermeasures Section and the 10th Scientific Research Division, the Diet of Bright City passed this huge plan, digging a deep passage from the ground, reaching the outside world through defensive barriers, and then establishing an external investigation base, which took too long and invested too much, which was not something that Bright City could afford.

In the end, the 11th Prison Section proposed that this plan could be completed by these prisoners who should have been sentenced to death a long time ago, and most of the prisoners in LV0 are mutants, their vitality is tenacious, their physical strength is strong, and they only need to provide food, and now the life expectancy of humans has been increased to 150 years.

This is a large number of labor, and they are criminals without any rights, from LV0 to LV2 criminals will basically be sent to this underground work site alternately to work, if you want to eat, you have to use the excavated earth and rocks in exchange for food, and it is not allowed to fight privately, once the fight prison guards can activate the neck ring to kill the criminals according to the situation.

On the left and right sides there is a platform carrying elevator that goes straight to the ground, and there are light-killing weapons on all four walls, and once the vital signs are detected, the light-killing weapons will be activated, so it is impossible for some criminals with a fluke mentality to escape.

Below, the yellow-skinned, white-skinned prisoners were constantly transporting soil from the 30-meter-high cave in front of them, and according to the sensor on the prisoner's neck, they could immediately calculate how many kilograms of soil and rocks had been excavated.

All this cruel labor, in the mouth of some citizens feel that it is a little too cruel, but this world has long been destroyed, the perpetrators have no rights to speak, most of them have become LV0 to LV2 prisoners, this is the only way for them to live, if you can't bear it, you can apply for the death penalty, you just need to agree, the section chief signs, the prisoner will be executed immediately.

Those who don't want to work can only starve to death, Jean quietly looks at these faltering prisoners, in order for them to work for decades, the 10th Scientific Research Department will come once a month to check these prisoners, and if it is found that the body has been given to the prisoners who cannot afford to work, they will not hesitate to be exiled to the barrier area by the 11th Criminal Management Division.

"Open the door, I'll just go and look for it."

A glass cover opened in front of him, and Jean jumped straight down from a height of more than 20 meters, and landed in front of the window where he was getting food with a bang, his uniform was shaking slightly, and he walked slowly with his hat crooked.

The prisoners, who had been depressed, suddenly became agitated.

"It's Jean, it's that demon Jean."

With a burst of shouting, prisoners continued to run out of the large tunnel, and in this large circular underground square, it was already crowded in a short time, and these prisoners glared at Jean angrily.

"Mistress Jean, have mercy on us, I want to see my wife and daughter."

"Lord Jean, I really can't take it anymore, I don't want to die, I still want to see the sun outside."

"Jean-sama, please, as long as we don't want us to do this work, we can do whatever we want, even if we go to the 10th Science Research Graduate School to do human experiments!"

Whimpering sounds, some of the prisoners began to cry, many of them pleading, but some of them glared angrily at Jean.

"Bastard Jean, die."

With a bang, a prisoner stepped out of the crowd, his hideous and angry face with murderous intent, and smashed his fist towards Jean.

Just as the 11 men on the city wall behind him were about to activate the neck ring, Jean raised his hand to stop it, and gently exhaled a puff of smoke.

With a bang, Jean squeezed the opponent's fist, and suddenly the prisoners around him screamed angrily.

"Looks like you haven't been disciplined in a long time, don't activate the collar."

As he spoke, Jean suddenly pulled the prisoner's fist at him, and with one hand pressed his head, slamming him to the ground.

The prisoners from all around him flocked to Jean like a tidal wave, and the murderous intent of anger was steaming.
