Chapter 1215: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 47 (Part 2)

September 1, 2216

The irritating sound is something that every citizen must endure every day. Some citizens even suffer from severe insomnia and mental weakness.

The knocking sound of the engineering is like a sharp knife every day, constantly irritating people's eardrums, and the factory opening promised by Congress is just a joke.

Some companies have laid off a large number of employees, because the manufacturing industry has almost fallen into a state of stagnation, and paid leave no longer exists. People from all walks of life who used to work in offices or on the streets are unemployed on a large scale.

Many people who have never picked up decoration tools in their lives can only help at construction sites, and their wages are not as high as those of normal workers.

Some people can only set up small workshops in their homes to make a living. The people have lost their patience.

Less than a month after the first subway was opened, a wave of unemployment has arrived. As a large number of companies' stored goods are gradually cleared out, most merchants can no longer bear it. Except for the sufficient supply of food, the supply of other items has almost been out of stock on a large scale.

Depression and ruin filled every corner of the middle and lower classes of the city, and a large number of people were increasingly dissatisfied because there was basically no problem with the supply of the upper class.

Congress chose 2 million people from the 2 million upper classes and 18 million from the middle and lower classes.

Workers working underground lacked a large number of labor protection products, and many had physical problems of varying degrees. Fortunately, the supply of medical supplies was sufficient.

Congress explained that because the underground construction was extremely difficult, the part that relied on large machinery was now basically completed, and most of the facilities required manpower to build. Because of the refinement of the project, the skills of the workers did not match during the implementation process, which led to a delay in progress. In addition, there have been many crimes in society recently, and demonstrations and riots have occurred in some areas.

Every day, Gary Locke would issue a city-wide televised speech to try to appease the emotions of the people. Because of the influence of various problems, the progress of construction was slowed down. The most critical thing was that there was a certain degree of chaos within the Angus family and the Hillman family.

The construction materials in the construction site were stolen and even appeared in the black market the next day. Although many people were arrested and some materials were recovered, it was still useless. The chaos in the construction project intensified every day.

In addition to the impact of multiple construction site accidents, more than 100 people from the Angus family have died in the construction. The Hillman family is also not doing well. More than 80 people were involved. The two families can only continue to carry on.

In the end, most people blamed the Angus family for the problem, because many construction problems were managed by the Angus family, while the Hillman family was responsible for logistics and financial review issues.

The most serious problem during the construction period was several ground subsidence and collapse problems, which directly blocked the progress of the project and even caused a fire in a factory.

The problem on the street was even more serious. Most civilian cars could not buy the corresponding materials to repair because they were damaged. Many cars could no longer start and could only be idle on the roadside. Some cars even encountered traffic accidents due to aging parts.

Even if the AI ​​system can avoid accidents almost 100%, it cannot prevent accidents if the car is damaged.

Old cars that are still powered by bacterial batteries are very dangerous. The generator box must be replaced after 3 years of normal use, because a large amount of acidic substances will be produced during the bacterial power generation process, which will leak over time, so it needs to be replaced. Once the bacteria leak out, it will have a great impact on people.

In particular, a kind of carnivorous bacteria battery is the most harmful nowadays. It is favored because of its outstanding splitting ability and ability to maintain long-term and effective high-efficiency electricity, but once it leaks, it can cause disability or death.

There have been 39 leakage accidents in more than eight months. Although Congress has expressly banned some damaged cars from going on the road, some people have dismantled the AI ​​system and drove the car on the road openly.

Recently, the problem has intensified. People have been going directly to the upper level to protest in front of the General Affairs Department, demanding that Congress remove construction in some areas and start the factory as soon as possible.

From the initial sit-in demonstrations to the large-scale voices, now there are riots. Congress has also gone from patiently driving them away to now having to use tough measures to directly arrest the rioters who participated in the street riots.

This approach has intensified the resistance of most people. The petty thefts in society have become difficult to curb, and the voices of dissatisfaction continue to fill the streets.

At around 9 o'clock in the morning, in the Public Security Management Office in District 77, a large number of handcuffed people lined up in a long line, from the hall to the door of the interrogation room at the back.

The delayed punishment plan for micro-crimes implemented by Alpha has failed, which has led more people to participate in some petty thefts.

Nowadays, as long as they are caught by Section 5, if it is these petty thefts, as long as there is evidence and the confession of the criminal, they will be immediately sent to the farms in the east to work, with a minimum of 3 months of labor without any salary.

Now the eastern grain base is extremely short of people, and water, air and land have all been polluted to varying degrees due to construction. Some farmland close to the eastern construction circle has even experienced serious industrial pollution.

Among them, dust pollution is the most harmful to crops. It will hinder the normal photosynthesis of crops, causing crops to wither and reduce yields. The falling construction dust pollution will enter the planting soil, and under the action of sunlight and water, it will combine with the soil and solidify. , hindering the normal growth of plants, and even some chemical reactions may occur, producing harmful chemicals that are absorbed by plants, resulting in toxic food.

Nowadays, it is obviously impossible to build a secluded membrane. We can only rely on robots that absorb harmful dust and manpower with identification and absorption equipment to clean up every day. Some land close to the edge of construction has been cleared in just eight months. Then he died.

"Mr. Tianming, please don't do this kind of thing again in the future. According to your crime, you will now be sent to the farm to work for half a year."

The man named Tianming was stooped, wearing a pair of small round glasses and a shabby gray suit. He looked submissive. He was a little excited at this moment.

"Sir, please give me a chance. I really have no choice. I have two children."

Tianming said, and the member of Section 5 who led him out of the interrogation room shook his head helplessly.

"Send it to your relatives' house first."

Tianming turned around hurriedly, as if he was about to kneel down, when this person from Section 5 grabbed his arm.

"It's useless for you to kneel down. An order is an order. This is the order of our section chief. Please don't embarrass me, Mr. Tianming. If I let you go and you are under review, you will lose your job. I just got married and there are people at home. A newborn child."

Tianming trembled, he shook his head, his eyes became moist.

"If I am sent there, my children will die. They really will die. I have no relatives. My wife passed away just after giving birth last year. Please, give me a chance."

The clerk in Section 5 was helpless. He took out 100 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Tianming's pocket.

"There's only so much I can help you with."

Tianming kept wiping his tears, and the 5th Section member next to him patted him on the back. The two came to the reception hall of the Public Security Management Office. On the bench on the left, a little boy who looked a little sallow and skinny was holding a hand. Looking at a baby who was still in swaddled clothes, he smiled from time to time, holding a bottle with only some water in it, and coaxing his sister who was crying because of hunger.

Tianming stood in the hall in a daze, hiding behind the crowd. He did not have the courage to walk over. The first time he stole, he was not sent to the Eastern Food Base because of the postponement of punishment regulations promulgated by Alpha, and the second time he stole This time he still took the risk and carried out the theft, but was caught.

Tianming didn't know how to face his two children, and the clerk next to him didn't urge him. The only way out now is if someone is willing to bail Tianming out, but with a bail amount of up to 10,000 yuan, it is impossible for anyone from this class here to take it. Got it.

As long as Tianming has not committed any crime during the bail period, he can be exempted from punishment and labor. As Tianming just said, he has no relatives.

The clerk in Section 5 was very helpless. Although he had a little savings, he also thought about helping this honest man. The factory where he used to work was now shut down. He was unable to do heavy physical labor because of his physical illness. , I went to many construction sites and was fired after working for less than three days. However, the real situation did not allow it and my life was not easy. My child was just 2 years old and I was in urgent need of money.

Nowadays, most regional subsidies are no longer available in the city, and all tax dollars have been invested in construction proposals. The original maternity subsidy was stopped in March last year.

Tangled sadness and helplessness were written on Tianming's face. It was already the third day since he was arrested. Looking at his two children, it must have been three days since they had eaten normally. He didn't know what to do.

"Let me contact the orphanage for you."

The staff member of Section 5 said that he also knew that it was very difficult. The current orphanages were already overcrowded, and most of the uncared-for children who could not be sent in could only live on the streets, begging, or being Criminals take advantage.

After a while, Tianming tightened his grip on the 100 yuan in his pocket, said thank you to the member of Section 5 next to him, and walked out of the crowd.

Tian Hen, his son who was sitting on a bench in the hall holding a baby, looked over with joy and immediately got up and ran over.

"Dad, you"

"Take it first and go buy something to eat."

Tianming said and gave the money to his son. The son seemed to have been hungry for several days. He ran out quickly without thinking much.

"Let's go."

Tianming said, looking at the escort car outside. He knew very well that he had nothing to say to his children.

"Excuse me, just tell them, can I go to the farm to make money? Let them wait for me for half a year."

The member of Section 5 nodded, raising his head slightly.

"I'll help you find someone willing to take care of them for half a year."

Tianming's eyes widened and he started to cry emotionally. The member of Section 5 patted his shoulder and led him to an escort vehicle parked in the yard.

"Dad, where are you going?"

Tianming looked at his son Tianhen with some surprise. He had already bought something, but he didn't expect to come back so soon. A can of liquid food and a can of baby dairy products. Tianhen walked over and handed over the remaining 98 yuan and 5 cents. Gave it to my father.

"Take Tianhen, dad is going to work on the farm. You wait for me for half a year, and this uncle next to you will take care of you."

Tianhen looked at his father uncomfortably for a while. He glanced at the escort car next to him. Many of the people on it looked a little solemn. He knew that this was not to make money.

The sister in Tianhen's arms had calmed down and stopped crying after eating. He was holding on to his father's pants with one hand.

At this time, a car drove in, a young couple got out of the car, and a regional section officer came out with several people.

"Mr. Lewen, you are here. Please help us repair the two lifts in the institute as soon as possible."

Le Wen smiled and nodded. His wife Su Xin next to him looked at the long queue of people in surprise, and his expression became serious.

The two are living happily every day now. They live very well in District 118, and their conflicts with their families have gradually been eliminated. Every year Le Wen takes his wife back, although his mother-in-law never treats Le Wen well. Judging from their expressions, even the mother-in-law's relatives were the same, but the problem was alleviated.

The section officer brought up the light and shadow panel. The yard was very noisy. He brought up some lift data to show to Le Wen. Le Wen is now a senior physical engineer. In addition to helping the company deal with construction project problems, he also takes time out to show it to Le Wen. Help repair and adjust some machinery.

"I sent the data to you, Mr. Lewen."

As the officer said this, Le Wen was quietly looking aside. Next to the escort vehicle, the father and son were hugging each other and crying, as well as the baby held by the boy. His wife was also looking over there. They heard After crying, he looked over immediately.

Sounds like this are quite common here every day, and everyone is no longer surprised.

"Mr. Levine!"

Lewen asked after coming back to his senses.

"What's going on over there?"

The officer took a look.

"He must have committed some crime and was taken to the eastern grain base for punishment."

His wife had already grabbed Le Wen's hand, but he did not resist, and the couple walked over.

"What a cute little baby."

Su Xin said with a smile. The crying father and son separated for a while. Tianming just squatted quietly in front of the child and touched his head.

"It's okay, Tian Hen, take good care of Tian Ai, you are my brother."

"Sir, may I help you with anything?"

Both father and son turned their heads, and at this moment a pair of hands stretched out.

"Can you lend me a hug? Your sister is so cute."

Su Xin stretched out her hand and took Tian Ai from Tian Hen's hand. Tian Ming choked up for a while. He didn't recognize the two couples in front of him. The member of Section 5 next to him immediately started talking about the family's current predicament.

"I'm willing to help pay his bail!"

Lewen said and glanced at his wife, who nodded.

"Sir, Madam, this"

"Everyone has this kind of time, it's okay, it will get better."

Le Wen smiled and said, 10,000 yuan is within reach for them now, and the family in front of them is encountering unprecedented difficulties. Looking back, they were the same in the past, because someone helped them. They were able to get out of the predicament. The couple will never forget the bowl of noodles on that cold night, because it was the noodles that brought them happiness and hope.

After all the procedures were completed, Le Wen paid a bail of 10,000 yuan, and Tianming kept thanking Le Wen.

"It's really okay, sir. It will get better, trust me."

At this time, many people in the hall were noisy. Alpha's image appeared on a light and shadow screen in the hall, and everyone looked at it.

"Dear citizens! Due to some recent problems that make it difficult to make ends meet due to unemployment, Congress has decided to set up a material distribution point in some places in most districts every day. If you can no longer afford to eat, , you can go to these material distribution points to receive a month's worth of food and water, but we will conduct on-site verification of everyone receiving food and water. Please do not pretend to receive it. Once discovered, the food and water collection will be divided. The fine of 10 times the normal market value will be divided by the farm work corresponding to the payment amount if you are unable to pay the fine. Please also supervise each other. If you find any fraudulent claim, please report it to the 5th Public Security Management Station in the area. , this is paid. And citizens who have received food, please do not use the food distributed to everyone for profit. If found, you will be punished 10 times the market price of the distributed materials!"

Many people in the hall were surprised for a while, and some looked remorseful. Le Wen and Su Xin smiled and nodded.

"Look, isn't this getting better?"

At this time, many people ran outside the hall, because they could already see a large lift coming. A large number of people on the street looked at the direction of the landing of the lift and ran towards it.

"You should go quickly, Mr. Tianming."

As Le Wen said, Tianming said thank you again, put his daughter on his back, dragged his son and left the lobby of the Public Security Management Office.

"Let's go, just hand me the tools."

As Le Wen said, Su Xin followed him to the trunk of the car with full energy. Some staff members went to help and moved out some repair equipment.

9:18 in the morning

Alpha exhaled a puff of smoke, stood up, walked to the sofa, and lay down. The efficiency of the current operation department is too low.

The people in Section 5 have started some work a few months ago, but it has been delayed until today to officially start distributing supplies. At present, the supplies are only food and water. Freya is already helping to fight for them. Some pharmaceutical companies have also agreed to donate a batch of drugs for free to deal with the current problems in the city. The next batch of drugs will be distributed.

Alpha is a little tired. She has been working for more than a year. She really wants to go back to the upper level to see, because Freya will give birth in the next few days. She wants to congratulate Freya in person and bring some gifts.

There are many problems in the docking of several departments, and the problem lies in the low efficiency of the previous batch of management personnel. Now the first batch of people who took the operation department exam have been assigned to various departments.

A new round of registration has started a few days ago. By the end of the year, the number of people who have signed up for the next year's operation exam has exceeded 10,000.

In a few days, Alpha will have to go to the General Affairs Department with the section chiefs for a meeting. After all, there are so many people. If the passing score is still 60 points, the quality is too low. There are also various issues that need to be discussed. At present, what bothers Alpha the most is the problem that the factory is difficult to start. If it continues to drag on, it will not last long by distributing materials. Section 2 has given a clear expectation that it can maintain a certain degree of stability by distributing materials, up to three months.

"What is Osman doing!"

After Alpha put out the cigarette butt, he lit another one, looking very irritable. Some of the current problems and chaos are partly caused by Section 3. They have carried out various money-making activities based on this construction, and even colluded with some people in the construction to steal and sell materials.

And these materials will enter some companies, and these companies will launder the materials through some small workshops, which is extremely difficult to track down.

Alpha couldn't stand it any more, but without the help of Section 3, it would be difficult to maintain law and order in the current turbulent society. In addition, various problems occurred frequently, which aggravated the workload of Section 5. If the management of the construction site was added, Section 5 would not have enough staff.

Alpha couldn't stand it any more. She had to let Osman do something. She knew that although Osman was capable, he was too kind. The two major factions in Section 3 treated him like a fool. His power was constantly being emptied. Now he was the head of Section 3 and Zijuan was the secretary, but their classmates couldn't do anything at all. One move would affect the whole body.

The only way was to beat all the leaders directly, expel them all, and deal with them all according to military law.

"I'm almost annoyed."

Alpha stood up, clenched his fists, and returned to the light and shadow screen flashing orange light. It was some reports submitted by the directors sent back by Gary Locke. Alpha could only sit in front of the light and shadow screen and continue to review them.

10:13 in the morning

Charles was anxiously waiting at the door of the delivery room. Almost all the people in the Eberron family had come. Most of them had nothing to do during this period because the factory had stopped working, which caused the company to stop operating.

The whole family was waiting. Freya started to have labor pains at 5 a.m. It has been more than 5 hours now, but the child has not been born yet. The doctor is also waiting. If the child cannot be born, surgery can only be performed.

"Charles, I think it must be a boy."

A man said, and Charles smiled. He now also wanted to know whether it was a boy or a girl, but many people in the family said that it should be a boy, because the child in Freya's belly was very active, and there was a high probability that it was a boy.

At this time, the family members did not dare to go against Freya's wishes. After all, her temper was known to everyone in the family, and many people in the family hoped to rely on Freya's relationship to help their industry grow stronger.

Everyone thought that if Freya gave birth to a child, her concept and attitude would change. After all, she had to consider the child anyway. The child of her and Charles would inherit the Eberron family in the future. No parents in the world would ignore their children.

However, Charles was a little worried because a few days ago, Freya said that she might give birth to a girl. When asked why, Freya said it was a feeling.

If a girl was born, Charles would not be able to negotiate further with those families who wanted to marry their daughters.

If it was a boy, the child would take the Eberron family's business to a higher level as soon as it was born.

This was what Charles wanted to see, and what the entire Eberron family wanted to see. Charles kept wandering at the door, and at this time a female doctor came out.

"How is it?"

"Mr. Eberron, it's not going too well. The wife had a difficult delivery, but she insisted on giving birth to the baby herself and refused to undergo surgery."

Charles wanted to go in with some dissatisfaction, but he still held back. At this time, he could only follow Freya's wishes.

The family banquet was ready. There were many people from other families on the lawn. Charles had invited many people to the banquet early in the morning, but Angus and his wife did not come because Charles knew their current situation.

At this time on the lawn, Chen Qiao was holding a glass of wine in a depressed mood and sitting quietly at a table. Field next to him was smiling happily.

"Is it so funny?"

"Sorry, Chen Qiao, I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at Charles for being too incompetent."

Chen Qiao shook his head bitterly. A few months ago, his wife Liuli was involved in an accident and died unfortunately. Although she was a vicious woman, marriage was just for their respective families. It was just that after having a child, Chen Qiao could bear it a little bit.

Now the child has no mother, which makes Chen Qiao feel very uncomfortable every day. The one-year-old child wants to find his mother from time to time. Chen Qiao doesn't know what to do.

"If I were Charles, I would have used Freya's relationship to support the sky."

Chen Qiao was not in the mood to talk about these things and glanced at Field.

"Don't you want to see your sister?"

Field was a little surprised.

"I almost forgot. I'll go see her in a few days."

Looking at Field in front of him, Chen Qiao sighed helplessly. Although Wilsey's life is better now than before, she still has to suffer verbal violence and some cold violence in life. Her brother has become even worse.

"This child's fate is the same!"

Chen Qiao glanced at the mansion of the Eberon family and laughed helplessly.
