Chapter 899 Returning Home in Glory (Part 1)

4 a.m.

Le Wen walked quietly on the street, just coming from Northwest 3rd Street where his home was. That street was now crowded with people, and the originally narrow street was now blocked.

At this time, the situation in the entire 118th District was the same. It was obviously late at night, but all the street shops in the entire district were decorated with lights. Some mutants could be seen carrying large light and shadow storage boxes, waiting to check out at the door of some shops.

The light of neon lights covered the streets, and the streets were full of people. The people from Section 5 were constantly conducting investigations. Some people complained dissatisfiedly that they had been investigated three or four times.

Le Wen stared quietly at the small light and shadow screen in his hand, which was still reporting on the 79th District. Le Wen's face looked a little serious, especially after seeing the corpse of the modified person who was allowed to be photographed on the screen, Le Wen felt heavy.

Bincai Medical Prosthetics Company, Le Wen once worked in this company as one of the main persons in charge of the development department.

In the rapid development of the city, accidents often occur. Some people who are disabled in accidents will have a life that is like falling into the abyss. The development of medical prostheses is imperative. Le Wen resolutely joined his friends in the trend of ergonomics and mechanical engineering.

Having a group of like-minded friends in career is far more important than anything else. They worked hard day and night to carry out research and finally established Bincai, a company for medical mechanical prostheses.

Mechanization is an indispensable existence in the future and a problem that humans cannot escape, but their concept has never been that machines replace humans, but that machines become helpers of humans.

The lofty concept has always been the support point for Le Wen and his friends. At that time, life was really difficult. Le Wen often visited some businessmen's homes, hoping to get financial support, but the result was in vain.

It was during this period that Le Wen met Su Xin. He fell in love with this woman at first sight. In the end, this woman resolutely broke through the resistance of her family and eloped with Le Wen.

They came to District 118 and settled there ever since. Even after Le Wen and his friends finally got the funds and successfully founded the Bincai Company, Le Wen did not move to the upper floors even though he had the money.

Bincai became the only company in Brilliant City that had the technology to produce mechanical prostheses. It was at this time that an order from Section 10 disrupted their original pace. According to the requirements, they needed to develop combat-specific prostheses. Section 10 provided them with a large number of corpses that had already undergone mechanical transformation inside the body.

There were disagreements in the company. Although medical mechanical prostheses had completely occupied the market, they could no longer expand. They certainly knew what the Operations Department wanted. Combat-specific machinery, no matter how strong the human body was, with the passage of time, the human body's functions would decline, but the machinery would not. It only needed regular maintenance and could be replaced if it broke down.

The company began to change, with a large amount of funds pouring in, and some technologies that they did not know about entering. The company was also under the control of the Operations Department. The company, which was originally full of vitality, became lifeless.

Le Wen was firmly against it. The project of mechanical biochemical transformation of human beings was launched within the company. Le Wen had no choice but to lead the team to develop it. After integrating the technologies of various parts, the mechanical biochemical transformation of human beings could be made to move.

It was at this time that Le Wen's daughter Le Xiao was born, and the technology of transformation of human beings became more and more mature.

"Husband, Le Le fell and broke her head. She is in the hospital now. Come quickly."

One day, Le Wen received a call from his wife. Le Xiao fell directly from the third floor because of her naughtiness. Her head hit the ground and she had been sent to the hospital for rescue. This was when Le Xiao was 3 years old.

Although the operation was successful that day, the doctor also said that Le Xiao might have language and physical obstacles when she wakes up in the future, and even some complications in the later stage. She could only be slowly recuperated. Le Wen resigned from his job as the director of the development department the next day and returned home, wanting to take good care of his daughter with his wife.

However, a strange thing happened. Le Xiao's head was completely healed in just one week, and there was no abnormality in her body. Le Wen, who was an expert in biology, noticed his daughter's specificity. With doubts, he extracted Le Xiao's cells.

He found shocking cell innovation phenomenon, and the genome in the body began to proliferate, which was a sign of becoming a mutant. But Le Wen injected Le Xiao with a gene stabilizer developed in the laboratory. This drug was originally used to stabilize the genes in mutants. After the injection, the genome proliferation phenomenon in Le Xiao's body was eliminated.

But the cell innovation phenomenon did not disappear. The situation in the company became increasingly serious. Many people have been forced to sign a confidentiality agreement with the Operations Department. Soon everyone in the company will be taken to the 10th Department to continue research.

What Le Wen was most worried about at the time was the physical condition of his daughter Le Xiao, because if the body awakens prematurely to become a mutant before maturity, there is a very high risk of death, but Le Wen did not dare to take his daughter to the hospital. If this kind of cell innovation phenomenon was found in his daughter, his daughter might only be able to live in the laboratory in the future.

Finally, Le Wen took advantage of the gap in the company and used the biological material that connected the machinery and flesh and nerves in the body of the cyborg at that time to create a piece of biological conduction material. This biological material between life and inanimate objects can stabilize the abnormal activity of the special innovative cells in his daughter's body.

Le Wen told Su Xin that Le Xiao must wear this thing for a long time. Le Wen did not want his daughter's affairs to be exposed. He just wanted his daughter to grow up healthy and happy like an ordinary person. There was no need to achieve any lofty ideals or shoulder any ambitious goals. These things would only become things in the hands of people with ulterior motives at the end.

After that, an accident occurred in the laboratory. Le Wen is still wondering why such an accident occurred. It is still a mystery. When they completed the implantation of the most core brain control chip of the biochemical mechanical cyborg for the Operation Department, the biochemical robot that was originally operating normally suddenly launched an attack.

Many researchers were killed on the spot, especially those high-level cyborgs, who were so powerful that they made people desperate. The Operation Department came to stop them in time. After they were asked some questions, they were asked to go home first.

This accident caused a great uproar in the society, and also involved another project of the company, the virtual sleeping project. These things were later exposed one by one.

Le Wen originally planned to go home that day, but when he went to the subway, he was stopped by a young boy.

"If you go home, I'm afraid you will spend the rest of your life either in the barrier area or in prison."

Le Wen had no idea what this strange-looking boy in front of him wanted to do. He didn't listen, and then just after he got out of the subway, his wanted order appeared on the news, including other technical personnel in the company.

The charge was the crime of destroying urban security. Le Wen was dumbfounded. He was arrested by the people of Section 2 as soon as he got off the subway. However, the boy who advised him before took action and easily knocked down all the people in Section 2, and took Le Wen away from the path for transporting materials.

"Why? We are simply following the instructions of Section 10."

"No reason. The cause of the accident is not important. What is important is that they got what they wanted. All your research results, including data, have been taken away by Section 10. Even if you are the main developers, you are no longer needed now. Besides, the cause of the accident may not be so easy to investigate."

The young man who saved Le Wen was called Ran Zai. The subsequent series of developments were just as Ran Zai said. Le Wen became a wanted criminal of level 0. The cause of the accident was that they wanted to subvert the city. The results of the investigation were also announced with solid evidence.

More and more problems were exposed. Bincai Company became an unforgivable company. Le Wen felt that everything was over, especially his family. He was worried about the situation of his wife and daughter.

"Why did you save me?"

"I saved you because of your unintentional kindness, Mr. Le Wen. Don't you remember? You once bought food for a child who had been hungry for several days, one night a few years ago."

Le Wen didn't remember much about such things, but he would encounter such things from time to time, especially on the streets at the bottom, where he could indeed see some hungry children. He couldn't do anything but give them some food.

Ran Zai didn't say anything about the extra things. He took Le Wen to a cemetery and told Le Wen that he could continue his research here and he would provide everything he needed.

Le Wen later learned what happened to Ran Zai. After losing everything, Ran Zai had wandered the streets for a while, as if he was avoiding someone.

The past kept coming to mind, and Le Wen always had a glimmer of hope. For many years, he could only watch his wife and daughter from a distance and could not do anything. Especially when he saw his daughter crying, he could only watch silently. Ran Zai had warned himself not to do this often. Sure enough, one night ten years ago, it was his daughter's graduation party, and Le Wen went there in disguise.

As a result, Le Wen was caught by a group of modified people. When he saw these people who caught him, Le Wen was shocked. The technology of biochemical modification that he developed back then is now so mature and stable, and they don't look like people from the Operation Department.

Because since Gene went to his house, the Operation Department has never harassed his wife and daughter again, and his leg was lame at that time.

Since then, Le Wen no longer went to see his wife and daughter every three or five like before. Until now, after he and Gene talked that day, he was able to walk around the city like now, and no one would come to catch him.

Le Wen has been wanting to know who caused them to become criminals who intended to harm the city. Ran Zai seemed to know, but every time he asked, Ran Zai just smiled and said that the enemy was invisible.

Le Wen did not intend to ask further. He knew that there were several forces surging in the city now. He now had the technology to counter those biochemical mechanical transformations. He wanted to use this technology to trade with Gene and get a chance to live with his wife and daughter again.

"Sir, please take off your hat and show your ID."

Le Wen hurriedly took off his hat and took out the ID given to him by Ran Zai with a smile. After checking for a while, the people in Section 5 nodded, and Le Wen continued to walk.

"Please keep order in the morning, don't push, and shout the welcome slogan in unison."

On the street, Ma Tao shouted directly with a loudspeaker.

"You all should be alert tomorrow. This is the day when the people who have made a name for themselves in your area return home to work. If anyone dares to cause trouble tomorrow, I will make him pay for it."

Le Wen put his hat back on, pressed his nose with one hand, and tears overflowed from his eyes. Along with the laughing crowd, he also laughed heartily and shook his head helplessly, because he never thought that his daughter, who was not very smart since childhood, would make a name for herself one day. Now his daughter is already a high-ranking person with great power in the city...
