Son of the Stars

Chapter 36 Destiny
Twin Enfield brothers were born in Angeles City 35 years ago.Their birth was blessed by the entire community—Angelians who spend their days digging holes and burying their bodies, and occasionally need some good news to cheer them up.

Angelis' debacle started early, before the big one.The number of shootings is at record highs, even fifteen to twenty mass shootings in a single weekend.All shops were to be looted, and clerks and shopkeepers were required not to protect their property.Angry or dazed teenagers and homeless people roam the streets.Illegal immigrants walk the streets, using everything from begging to stealing to get a slice of bread for themselves and their families.

And amidst the chaos and bloodshed, Beverly Hills' perfection remains untouched.It has the best infrastructure in Angeles City, the most developed luxury sales and business system, and the strictest security system.

Since people cannot be distinguished by skin color and ethnicity, Beverly Hills has adopted the model of "asset verification pass" to manage the crowd-only "decent people" whose assets reach a certain level can pass through towering walls and high-voltage power grids majestically. The buttery smooth streets of upper Beverly Hills.

Many struggling to survive in Angeles City say Beverly Hills is a symbol.

One symbolizes the extreme difference between rich and poor in Angeles, a totem that symbolizes that "the difference between people may be greater than that between people and dogs"... one symbolizes that the city of Angeles has been completely torn apart, and Become a symbol of mutual hatred and even killing.

Fortunately, the big collapse is coming, otherwise Angeles City may become the first city in the history of human civilization to fall into civil war due to the gap between the rich and the poor and the segregation of assets.

In the five years of the Great Crash, those who should have died of drugs, shootings, violent robbery, and plunder jumped off tall buildings one by one, walked into the river calmly, and even waited in line for others to commit suicide with guns before picking up The opponent's gun blasted his head.

When people are busy killing themselves, they can't care less about murdering other people.

Five years later, a coalition government was born.They came to the city with "historical documentary therapy", as well as the much-needed disinfection supplies, masks and humanitarian aid in Angeles City.The death queue was cut off, and the residents of Angelesis could finally begin to clear the bodies.

Under such circumstances, the Enfield brothers, the first pair of twins born in Angeles City, received the collective blessings of the surviving hundreds of thousands of people.They replaced Beverly Hills, which had become a mass grave, and became a symbol of the rebirth of Angeles City.

The elder of the two brothers, Toby Enfield, chose to become a public servant as an adult, working hard to advance the reconstruction and revitalization of Angeles City.The younger brother, Andrew Enfield, became an engineer with the Department of Parasite and Environmental Control.

Unlike his brother, Andrew did not stay in Angeles City.Maybe it was a rotting corpse he met in childhood, maybe it was the faint smell of corpses echoing in the city... Andrew just wanted to escape from the city.

In the end, Andrew succeeded—he successfully applied for a quota, and he could travel [-] kilometers south as a senior engineer of the Parasite and Environmental Control Agency, and be responsible for the environmental control engineering design in the south of the San Jose site.

Despite being separated by more than 4000 kilometers from his brother, Toby still keeps in touch with Andrew.They remain close and cherish family.Fortunately, neither of them ever had a meltdown—even after their parents committed suicide.

Life is difficult, but they are still desperately alive.

And seven days ago, Andrew fell ill.He developed recurrent high fevers that did not respond to conventional medication for fever reduction.

At the same time, Toby, who was participating in this year's bidding for building demolition and reconstruction in Angeles City, passed out directly at the bidding meeting.

A pair of twins passed out at the same time, and the symptoms were exactly the same.This has aroused the great attention of the doctors in the two places - they quickly completed the online docking and uploaded the case to the national diagnosis platform.

Within 45 milliseconds of the upload, a red alert went off in the General Bureau of Investigation.According to the rules summarized by Lu Chen and others in the Argentario Mountain Base, Andrew and Toby were identified as having extremely high risks of energy release.

The Comprehensive Investigation Bureau quickly dispatched, they directly took over the two patients locally, and then transferred the brothers to the Bureau's safe house far away from the city.

At the request of the administration, the doctors took a large number of blood and tissue samples from the patients for testing. At the same time, the treatment team also used many cooling methods to try to calm down the brothers.

But the results were not satisfactory, although forced dialysis cooling played a certain effect.But after the two had a high fever for seven days, the spectrometer installed in the ward detected a sudden rise in ultraviolet light—a wavelength of 121.6nm, and the estimated ultraviolet emission intensity was about 55 watts.

The explosion occurred after the AI ​​robot determined that a boric acid water bath could not slow or stop the UV emission.The powerful shock wave directly flattened the safe house and the surrounding buildings—fortunately, the evacuation was timely, and no other casualties were caused by the explosion.

The twins, who symbolized Angelis' rebirth, exploded together 35 years and 170 four days after their birth.

After obtaining the corresponding information, Yang Weimin and Lu Chen first expressed their dissatisfaction with the sampling methods of the Comprehensive Investigation Bureau.

"The number of these samples obviously exceeds the necessary level. You didn't take samples to treat them... You are just doing research and investigation after the fact, so reserve samples in advance!" Lu Chen said angrily, "The purpose of medical treatment is to treat and alleviate. This kind of sampling that does not work at all is itself a harm to the patient!"

"They signed a power of attorney more than ten years ago, allowing the coalition government to conduct necessary inspections on them after they lose consciousness." Watanabe said without changing expression, "So, do you accept these samples? accept?"

"What's the use of accepting? We're still on the ship." Yang Weimin shook his head and said, "It's not easy to obtain so many samples. Let's find a frozen sample storage room and freeze them first."

"Speaking of this..." Watanabe said, "The committee has issued a preparatory order. The North American region will prepare to establish a research center-specialized in the research of quantum release syndrome. The candidate has not yet been determined."

Tang Qinglong coughed lightly and asked, "So?"

"Based on the principle of making the best use of everything, the committee decided to let you go to North America to stay for a while." Watanabe said, "On the one hand, check and accept the equipment in the research center. staff to do some training on quantum release syndrome."
