dawn effect

Chapter 23 Game
"It has something to do with it, because the person who discovered the No. [-] injection was your mother, Ms. Lin Yu, who was engaged in research at the Institute of Virology after returning to the settlement."

Tangning couldn't help being shocked.

"The ecology of the settlement at that time was completely different from what it is now. The No. [-] potion developed by your mother was once considered to be the dawn of humanity's freedom from the E virus, which triggered fierce competition among various forces, and finally turned into a coup d'état in the seventh year of Datong."

"At the same time as the coup d'état, a vicious accident occurred in the Institute of Virology at that time. Some of the hidden infected people who received the No. [-] drug treatment in the early stage mutated in the Institute of Virology and broke free from the shackles."

"In the end, your mother resolutely closed all the exits of the research institute, so that the accident did not spread to the entire tower floor, saving tens of thousands of lives, but she herself..."

"It is also in view of the disastrous consequences of that incident, and the Academy of Sciences' successful research on personal invisible windows, that the ghetto decided to inject everyone and supervise everyone."

It never occurred to Tangning that her mother had something to do with the coup d'état in the settlement.

"Sorry," Tangning said, "I need to check."

Talking about getting in touch with Xiaozhi: "Xiaozhi, send me the information about grandma."

In the personal invisible window, the pictures and words began to jump, and the information came from the news of the former settlements, various announcements and propaganda of the warlord regime at that time, and various discussions among the people, all of which proved what Jiang Xiaoyuan said was true.

Tangning waved her hand to close the window, "You can continue talking."

"What information were you looking up just now? Can you forward a copy to us? I'm afraid that if there is any omission in our work."

Seeing Tangning looking at him suspiciously, Jiang Xiaoyuan said helplessly, "Both your parents have made outstanding contributions to the community. You inherited their Skynet computing resources, which may be more than what our branch office can allocate."

Only then did Tangning understand, she nodded and passed the information to Jiang Xiaoyuan.

Although Jiang Xiaoyuan is relatively cold, he is very efficient in handling things. He immediately began to browse the information, and his mouth was still non-stop: "Next, let's talk about the case. The Security Bureau recently discovered that a batch of No. town spread."

"We already had an idea, but your appearance has caused some small changes."

"First of all, your identity is quite special, and then you appeared in a sensitive place during a sensitive period, and even attracted the attention of interested people. We don't know if it is really a coincidence or someone deliberately arranged it."

Seeing Yao Hua's angry face, Jiang Xiaoyuan waved his hands: "Don't get me wrong, the arrangement I'm talking about refers to the high-level transfer of information."

"In my opinion, this can roughly be understood as the fact that all parties with intentions are jointly promoting the solution to the cancer of the Fourth Tower Self-Management Council. It can also be understood as the military's acquiescence to the upcoming operation of the Security Bureau."

After finishing speaking, he added: "Although we don't need it."

Tangning asked, "Me? How is this possible? I just arrived yesterday."

Jiang Xiaoyuan shook his head: "No, I think my guess is generally correct."

"The situation on the upper four towers is very complicated. Even if it's a branch of the Security Bureau, I can't guarantee that there will be no spying or wiretapping outside this room."

"In the military, they are even more deeply entrenched, so even if the top level wants to show attitude, they must be extremely cautious."

"If people who don't know the truth are incited, hehehe, going up to the fourth tower has a glorious tradition of rebellion."

"There are three security divisions, four field divisions, one reconnaissance brigade, and one special warfare brigade in the residential area, with a total of 3000 people. Therefore, Commander Zhang is very busy with his daily affairs."

"Although you saved the lives of 22 soldiers from the [-]rd Company of the [-]st Battalion of the Reconnaissance Brigade, and although Commander Xiang... is an old comrade in arms with Commander Zhang, I don't think he would have met you alone."

"Because that mission was a failure after all, and it also marked a serious setback for the military's attempt to operate independently from the Academy of Sciences."

"Against this background, Commander Zhang still received you with great fanfare, and even directly granted you resident status according to the special law."

"Well, it can't be regarded as a direct award, because this appointment must be approved by more than two directors... Presumably the other one is Dean Wang?"

Tangning somewhat understood what Li Yong warned in the military vehicle before entering the residential area. The residential area is really complicated.

The handsome, plain-spoken young man in black uniform in front of him was far more powerful than those gangsters last night.

"Since he specially interviewed you, and then you have conflicts with those people in sensitive places, and those people are the targets of our actions... If we understand it as a series of inevitable words, then this is A very clear attitude."

"Or let me put it another way. Even if this is not Commander Zhang's original intention, the Ministry of the Interior can take it as a natural hint and start follow-up operations."

"At the very least, Commander Zhang has taken the initiative to arrange a good reason for us to argue with each other afterwards. Think about it, isn't that the case?"

Yao Hua's face turned pale, and none of what this comrade said just now was what he wanted to hear: "I...I have to confirm with the commander."

"Of course." Jiang Xiaoyuan said, "But Yao Hua, I advise you not to."

"why?"

"Because that would make the commander have to give clearer instructions, wouldn't this push the responsibility up?"

"This will definitely make you lose points. Of course, progress and risk avoidance are all your personal choices. I'm just a suggestion."

Yao Hua's expression was uncertain, and he couldn't make up his mind for a long time.

Tangning said, "Why did you tell me this?"

"I just want to tell you that your troubles are not limited to Ma San and Zhao Neng." Jiang Xiaoyuan said seriously: "And we want to invite you to participate in the arrest of criminals. We need your skills."

"Because of the signal control in the inhabited area, it is impossible to use thermal weapons. This involves your strengths - cold weapons and unarmed combat skills."

"Why do you trust me?"

Jiang Xiaoyuan sighed: "Because I have no one else to trust. Compared with others, you are the cleanest piece of white paper."

"There's another question." Tangning asked, "Why...the higher-ups you're talking about have to be so complicated and cryptic?"

"Because the United Council is not the Skynet Alliance at the same time." Jiang Xiaoyuan finally remembered to bring two glasses of water to Tangning and Yao Hua: "They are not omnipotent."

"I believe you have already checked the public information of Lao Wang and me? How about it? If you agree, I will tell you the details of the action now."

"However, I want to remind you that even this operation may not be able to touch the real mastermind behind the scenes. It's just that we can't allow undead to appear in the densely populated area and threaten the safety of residents, so we can't wait."

"So this is an action without a clear authorization. If it succeeds, then everything is easy to say, but if it fails, the responsibility is ours."

"What's the most serious punishment?" Tangning asked.

"That's hard to say. He may be driven out of the settlement. For example, Yao Hua, he is a member of the military, and he will probably be sent to guard the weir, or go to a satellite city as an army representative, or even go to a barren town as the station master of a recruiting station. .”

"As for me, I will most likely be assigned to sit in the archives, or to the Foreign Intelligence Department of the Ministry of the Interior, or to the barren town to keep track of the situation."

"As for you... Maybe you have to go to the deserted town and wait for the limelight to pass. But with your skills, you may be able to make a fortune."

Tangning couldn't help laughing, "It's a good thing you didn't restore the death penalty."

"How is it possible to restore the death penalty?" Jiang Xiaoyuan didn't smile at all: "The human body is a precious research resource. Of course we don't have the death penalty. At most, it will be sent to the Academy of Sciences as a research sample."

Tangning's complexion suddenly collapsed.

"Hahaha..." Jiang Xiaoyuan saw the freezing effect he had inherited from his father, and Tangning was taken aback by what he said just now. He seemed very happy, "But even if it goes wrong, it won't be enough. Such a crime. How? Do you want to do it?"

"If I want to participate, I need to go back and get some things." Tangning said, "Also, don't expect too much from me, because I don't have any experience in fighting people. Yesterday...was the first time I shot someone."

"The things you want to pick up may be here." Jiang Xiaoyuan took out a large package from a cabinet under the table and put it on the table: "Don't worry, in your mission, it's best not to fight."

There was a familiar big package on the table, Tangning was a little surprised, "They didn't take it away?"

"Although we are only a small sub-district on the tower floor, we must take into account each other's face before tearing our faces apart." Jiang Xiaoyuan said with a blank expression: "Theoretically, the self-management association is an autonomous organization under the leadership of the Security Bureau. They can only assist The power to obtain evidence."

"So when people from the Security Bureau are around, they can't do too much."

After speaking, he remembered Tangning's performance in the guard room, and smiled slightly, "You did a good job last night, you didn't let me try to get you out of shame."

He picked up the "belt" on the table again: "With this, it won't be so easy for them to come to catch people. We have time to arrange it."

Seeing that the leather armor and bone knife were all there, as well as the helmet with mottled paint, Tangning seemed to have a backbone: "I'll join."

"Very good." Jiang Xiaoyuan seemed to have long believed that Tangning would agree, and called out the light curtain, "The case is here, just take a look."

"Yao Hua, take a look too." Jiang Xiaoyuan said to Yao Hua, "Commander Zhang's move is actually to drive ducks to the shelves."

For the Ministry of the Interior, what Zhang Yucheng did was of course a threat to force them to take action in advance. In any case, the Western District Bureau had to take action.

Jiang Xiaoyuan knew how annoyed his father Bingshan would be, but he had been working in the Security Bureau for a long time, and he was used to such interference from the upper echelons.

Although there is nothing wrong with the Ministry of the Interior's potential move against the upper four towers, from the perspective of power games, it can also be regarded as the Ministry of the Interior reaching out to the military's traditional sphere of influence.

To get the tacit approval of the military, there must be an exchange of interests.

I heard that the training simulation cabin developed by the Academy of Sciences is close to delivery, isn't it just right?

The reason why the Ministry of the Interior wanted to do this was because during the seven-year coup in Datong, the old forces once occupied a large amount of Skynet resources. Due to the death of the parties and heirs, the system judged that they had entered the period of heritage protection.

Now the time for the lifting of the ban on these resources has arrived, and a new game has obviously begun.
