Chapter 1445 Tears of the Times 2 (Part 2)
"Please stay away immediately!"
A team of reporters from a media company stared at the armed Section 3 officers around them. The leading female reporter almost cried. They went up from a place near the family area in the north where some trees were planted and approached the end of the First Avenue, which seemed to be crowded with people.

But the next second, a large number of Section 3 officers appeared, and everyone in the reporter team was stunned, because the family area was currently blocked, and many roads leading to the family area were blocked. According to the Operations Department, there was a suspected sabotage operation against the family, and the danger was being gradually checked.
Soon, these reporters were taken over one by one for body search, and then escorted away by Section 3. As soon as they arrived on the street, several reporters were handcuffed and taken directly to Section 5's security management car. The crime was violating the Security Management Law and illegally entering the blocked area.
Su Li glanced at the time. It was just 8:03. She woke up after only three hours of sleep. After breakfast, Su Li and the bodyguards came to the First Avenue. Many family members were also looking at the Hillman Manor, where no complete buildings could be seen. There were a large number of people from the Operations Department inside, who were conducting a comprehensive investigation of the Hillman family, especially the underground facilities.
On a complete lawn, the incomplete bodies of Hillman family members were being processed. Some of the bodies had mechanical parts in their bodies. Many people in the Hillman family, from the bottom to the top, had undergone mechanical transformation.
One heinous crime after another was exposed to the sun. Everyone was waiting for the 9 o'clock TV speech, which was extremely important for the entire city. Su Li looked at the news and found that the news in many places made people feel uneasy.
Some people have realized that there is a big problem with the Hillman family, because today was originally a very important day for the Hillman family, and it was also the day when the Hillman family officially reached the top of the Brilliant City, but the Hillman family did not wait for this day.
There was a disgusting smell of blood in the air, and the uneasy mood had begun to spread throughout the city. Su Li walked to the side of Chen Qiao.
"What did you see in your eyes!"
Chen Qiao shook his head.
"Nothing!"
The patriarchs of several major families were there, and everyone just wanted to wait for more things to be announced. They could see a lot of things on the scene.
The impact of the collapse of Angus will come soon, which will have a very big impact on all walks of life, and even for some people, it will be a catastrophe.
Now most of the family members have known that the Angus family has cleared all the past data and burned a large amount of Angus Finance's banknotes.
There has been chaos on the Golden Street. Some of the merchants who are waiting to settle with Angus Finance today can no longer sit still and start to make a fuss. They are asking for an explanation at the gate of the headquarters of Section 7, but Section 7 has not made any comments now.
Su Li walked leisurely to the cordon in the center of the street, quietly watching the bodies being thrown into the incinerator, the billowing smoke continued to rise. For such a large family that fell in an instant, most of the patriarchs of the family were sad at this time. In addition, they had surrendered their immunity last night, and fear and worry had begun to spread.
"It's about to start!"
Su Li muttered, looking at the distant horizon, and a series of takeoffs and landings passed by.
8:13
A large number of protest shouts sounded, and the sound of clanging clanging continued to sound.
"Be quiet, everyone."
A regional officer from Section 11 shouted, and the prisoners were still knocking behind the iron door, constantly booing and protesting.
At 6 a.m. today, some of the prisoners who were originally going to be granted parole were asked to return to their cells after breakfast, and many prisoners were already dissatisfied.
After breakfast, most prisoners were asked to return to their cells. According to the explanation of Section 11, there was an outbreak of infectious diseases in the city, so the prisoners were asked to stay in the prison temporarily, but most prisoners were very confused because some relatives and friends of some prisoners had come to see them a few days ago and did not mention the infectious diseases at all.
The prisoners knew that the people in Section 11 were lying, and many prisoners were still knocking. The same was true in prisons No. 3 and No. 4, where most of the heavy criminals were held. All prisoners were asked to return to their cells. Some prisoners who wanted to enjoy the sunshine were extremely dissatisfied, but some prisoners were happy because they did not need to work in the newly built prison tower.
Most prisoners found that the people in the Operations Section were holding weapons today, and asked the prisoners to stay in the cells and not to make noise, but now the situation is out of control.
In a network control room in the middle of Prison No. 1, more than 50 network technicians from Section 10 were acting solemnly on some light and shadow screens.
The identification signal of the collar worn by the prisoner has been tampered with. This is a premeditated tampering. Moreover, the system in Section 10 of the prison has been destroyed, and many devices cannot be controlled. If you want to restore it, you must either recompile the program, and it must be able to correspond to the tampered instruction codes in these systems. These tampered abnormal instruction codes contain a large amount of information and are extremely complex. Even if AI is used to calculate and crack it, it will be a time-consuming task.
The most critical thing is that the source code for tampering with these system data cannot be cracked. No one knows when it started. The AI of the Hillman family has tampered with a lot of things and cannot be restored at all. It is almost impossible to restore the part of the prison that is controlled by the network. Now either replace the electronic components in those devices that have been tampered with, or quickly find a way to restore the signal recognition code built into the prisoners' collars.
Song Man looked at the technicians of Section 10 with a heavy expression. Several classmates were already overwhelmed at this time. More than 8,000 people from Section 11 have all entered the prison. In Prisons No. 3 and No. 4, Song Man has assigned more than 6,000 assistants to the section staff. Many section staff are still waiting for Section 3 to send weapons.
Many weapons can only be produced temporarily. Some family factories have obtained weapons production authorization at 3 a.m., and a steady stream of weapons have been manufactured and then sent to members of the local action section.
Most weapons use mimic x, which can produce weapons the fastest, and some materials in chemical raw material factories are also sent to the corresponding ammunition manufacturing workshops in batches.
At present, the prisoners do not know that the collars on their necks have failed. The people in the Operations Department cannot trigger the mechanism in the collars by identifying signals, shocking them with electric current or killing them directly.
After searching the entire prison, they found a lot of metal signal transmitters, which were hidden in some extremely secret places. The number is very large.
According to Noah, the AI of the Hillman family is more advanced than the AI of the city, so it can do so many things.
The situation in the whole city is not stable. The situation has reached a very bad moment. Song Man scratched her head irritably. As a witness of the prison riots in the past, she knew very well that once the prison rioted, it would be difficult to suppress the riot with such a small number of people at present.
Now most of the troops of the Operations Department have been deployed in various parts of the city, and the subsequent chain reaction of what Alpha did will soon come.
There are currently 13,958 mutants in the prison, with a total of more than 50,000 prisoners, of which 60% are minor criminals and 40% are serious criminals.
The cruelty in prisons in recent years is unimaginable to people in the outside world, and once the prisoners explode, things will be difficult to deal with.
"Are you looking for death?"
In the No. 4 heavy criminal prison, in a crowded cell with 20 people, a man was holding the collar with one hand. Others advised him not to be impulsive. Some prisoners had guessed that there might be something wrong with the collar system. The man swallowed and wanted to try to take the collar off, but others were watching. The man's forehead was covered with sweat, and he finally gave up.
At this time, several people in the room winked at each other and looked at Quasimodo who was sitting cross-legged like a hill by the iron window. This was the only place where he could enjoy the sun and where Quasimodo slept.
The empty bed of Quasimodo became the place where the prisoners in this cell placed their personal belongings or used for entertainment. No one dared to provoke this monster, because everyone had heard about this monster and had seen its power. With just one finger, this monster could destroy everything.
The people in Section 11 also tried to warn some prisoners not to provoke Quasimodo. Quasimodo was also the most special existence in the prison for serious criminals. He never talked to others and just stayed alone quietly.
"Quasimodo, why don't you give it a try!"
A prisoner said cautiously, but everyone stopped looking at him after seeing Quasimodo open his eyes.
This morning, the attitude of Section 11 made many prisoners suspicious, because many members of Section 11 showed some fear in their expressions and behaviors when they asked the prisoners to return to the cells, especially in their attitude towards serious criminals, which was full of threats.
In the prison for serious criminals, a criminal wearing glasses smiled slightly. He leaned on the window with both hands and looked at the prisoners in the room who were still discussing the collar problem. He couldn't help laughing. This matter was obvious, but no one dared to try it. The man was imprisoned for serious robbery and planning crimes in the past. He was a criminal with high IQ and successfully planned many robberies and kidnappings.
However, the man was arrested because of a slight negligence.
The man knew very well that the collar on his neck was no longer a threat, but he did not want to expose it for the time being, because once the prison was in chaos, the situation would only get worse. The man was very rational.
After all, if a big riot really happened, the Operations Department would definitely not show mercy. The man did not want to die, and he still had more than ten years to be released from prison.
The prisoners who had such thoughts were not only this high-IQ criminal man, but also many people who had seen through it were waiting silently, even some powerful mutants.
A large number of prisoners were still knocking on the iron door and throwing things outside, but at this time there were no people from Section 11 in the corridor, and they only shouted to the prisoners to calm down after a while.
At this time, in the management room of a floor, 30 officers in charge of the management of prisoners on this floor were checking their weapons. The only place to go down in the prison was an elevator and an emergency escape staircase, which was right next to the management room. The order they received was to shoot the prisoners if they dared to come out.
"Boss, otherwise, we suggest to the superiors to retreat outside the prison."
The team leader of this department laughed immediately.
"It may not be useful to retreat outside. If a large number of prisoners gather together, the situation will be very bad."
Most of the officers in the department were surrounded by the extremely solemn atmosphere now. Many people even wanted to leave, but if they did not follow the order, they would be directly expelled. The head of the department, Latis, had issued a death order.
In a single cell close to the No. 1 light criminal, Hydra sat in front of the table, reading a book. He looked at the book leisurely and naturally. In front of him was a cup of fragrant coffee. Hydra raised the cup and took a sip, then smiled and closed the book.
"Just one point is enough!"
Hydera looked at the collar that he had removed beside the table. Because of wearing the collar for many years, there was already a very obvious dent on his neck. He looked at the surveillance and was sure that all the systems in the prison were out of order.
"This era is coming to an end!"
Hydera said, looking at the golden fields outside. People could still be seen working in the distance, but the prisoners could only stay in the prison.
Although Hydera didn't know what big problem had happened, he was sure that something big had happened in the city.
8:23 in the morning
"Please don't get closer, or we will open fire."
A serious shout from the loudspeaker sounded. On the bridge outside the Eastern Guard Station, many criminals in the Barrier Zone were getting closer and closer to the gate.
"We waited here last night. When will the food be distributed?"
Many criminals shouted. Most of the criminals came here last night and waited for Section 3 to distribute food, but this year's festival was not like the past. Not only would they distribute free supplies, but they would also have a free meal, including some medicines.
Many people have been hungry for several days, and many people can't hold on any longer, so they want the Operations Department to distribute food quickly.
However, at this time, there are less than 1,000 soldiers and assistants in the Eastern Guard Station. All areas of the city are in urgent need of help, and there is no one to distribute food to the people in these barrier areas. What's more, the system in the guard station collapsed last night, and the people in Section 10 are still trying to solve the problem.
Some large defensive heavy firepower weapons cannot be used directly. Most soldiers have been equipped with heavy firepower weapons and are on standby in the combat readiness room where they can accurately hit the bridge.
There are more than 10,000 people outside the Eastern Guard Station, and most of them are staring angrily at the Eastern Guard Station in the sun opposite.
At a place 3 kilometers away from the Eastern Guard Station, a large number of assembled vehicles are parked here, and more than 2,000 criminals are holding weapons and ammunition. Agata stands on top of the car.
"Success or failure depends on this one move. What we need is that once there is gun smoke in the city, it is the signal for our attack. Everyone, get some rest. Do you understand?"
For a while, many people raised their weapons and cheered. Agata stared at the Eastern Guard Station with cold eyes. She laughed crazily. She didn't want to live in the city or occupy anything. They just wanted to go in and rob some things. They could do anything while the city was in chaos. The most important thing was that those who lived in the sun behind the bridge were their enemies.
Today, the Operations Department suddenly did not distribute supplies. A large number of take-offs and landings continued to take off from the guard station. Agata had already felt that there was obviously a big problem in the city. Looking at the closed door of the Eastern Guard Station, Agata felt that the time was ripe.
"We have only one goal, destruction and killing, so that those vested interests in the city can see the anger of us bugs living in the barrier area, ahahaha!"
Although some of the men still felt scared, most of them were in high spirits because they only went in once and then came out.
For the city in front of her, Agatha had nothing in her heart except hatred. She had long been desperate, and she had been desperate before committing the crime.
Bang
Accompanied by a loud bang, the glass of a restaurant was smashed, and a fierce mutant stared at the owner and some people in the restaurant.
"I worked hard to transport the things to you, so you have to pay."
"Sir, please understand that I have refunded these goods, but the network was not connected before, and we were busy with customers to cancel the meal money and forgot."
The boss took out 10 yuan from his pocket and walked over.
The porter looked at the boss angrily, and there was a whole box of goods next to him.
Several people from the operation department came over immediately, and the mutant took 10 yuan from the boss angrily and left without looking back. The goods were placed directly on the spot, and the boss looked at it miserably.
A lot of things happened on the streets. Most people were furious. In addition to phone calls, the Internet was completely cut off. Congress has not issued any statement yet. The most important thing is that now on the streets, you can see a large number of members of the Operations Department who are trying to mediate some disputes. Many people are asking what happened.
But these members of the Operations Department just said that this was an order from above, and they didn't know what happened.
At this time, the upper and middle classes were still stable, but riots had broken out on many streets at the bottom. Many families at the bottom deposited their money into Hillman Finance because there was interest on deposits. According to the total amount of deposits, they would also be given coupons for nearby shopping malls, designated commodity discount coupons and the like. A large number of people at the bottom gathered at the entrance of the regional office of Section 7. Although the people of Section 7 repeatedly explained that there was a problem with the financial system of the Hillman family, they asked everyone not to make trouble for the time being.
Some people said that they didn't have any money at home and were in a hurry to withdraw money. Since it was Hillman Finance's problem, the Operations Department could temporarily help them and give them the corresponding money first. Then they could ask Hillman Finance to get the money back. However, the people from Section 7 kept saying that they had reported to the top leaders and asked everyone to wait for the result quietly.
The atmosphere in the city had become irritable at 8:30. Most stores had to close, and some people who didn't have a penny in their pockets had already taken to the streets.
Hillman Finance was completely blocked outside at this time. There were people all around. The people from the Operations Department formed a human wall. Many people were waiting for the result because they didn't know what big problem Hillman Finance had. The people from the Operations Department were also trying to appease them.
More and more people gathered around, wanting to know what problem Hillman Finance had as soon as possible.
At this time, residents in many districts found that they couldn't get water out of their taps. They called the water plant. The staff of the water plant just kept saying that due to network problems, there were some minor problems in the internal system and it would be restored in a few hours.
Noah stood quietly in a water plant in District 46, looking at some records in the water plant. There was nothing left. All the data in the system had been deleted. This was the reason why water could not be supplied now.
When the city incorporated a large number of AI systems for management, the water plant was also included in the scope of inclusion. After the reform, everything was controlled by the system. Now without the user's login information, the system would not supply water to the user.
"What should I do?"
Noah scratched his head. Several staff members of Section 10 were still thinking about solutions. The best way was to manually open the water valve directly, but there was no data record. Giving users water for free would only lead to more serious problems. Moreover, the water valves were underground. Many water valves connected to the residents had to be dug up if they wanted to force them open. This was unrealistic. Moreover, if the main water valve of the water supply system was opened, the water pressure would burst the water supply pipe.
Bang
Accompanied by a collision, two cars on the street collided with each other. Suddenly, many people exclaimed and surrounded them. The front of one car was half dented and the driver died on the spot.
It's not just a network problem. As more and more vehicles start, many people find that the AI indicator signal fails and the vehicle can only be driven manually. The 5th Science Department has temporarily issued some bans, asking residents not to drive for the time being and choose to take the subway.
The city began to become more and more chaotic. No one knew what happened, but the chaos had just begun.
The subway station was crowded with people. One subway after another whizzed past and then stopped. The only one that had no problems was the Angus family's system because it used a quantum transmission network.
After the subway door opened, people quickly got in. A subway started to speed again and rushed directly into the darkness.
