The weather was sunny and windy, and it was the weekend, so the streets were particularly lively.
It was already past 12 noon, which was the busiest time in the entire No. 3 city. Whether it was the bustling commercial street or the bus and subway, it was crowded with people. It seemed that there was a buzz of people everywhere, and everyone's faces were full of excitement.
smile.
However, happiness belongs to others, and Wang Xiaoxi only feels noisy.
He just got off work.
It's not the kind of get off work from this morning to today's noon, but the kind of get off work from yesterday morning to today's noon, which is more than 24 hours later.
He dragged his tired body towards the apartment, looked at the long list of bills on his phone, and couldn't help but sigh.
The popularization of genetic medicines has indeed greatly improved people's physical fitness, but with it comes an even greater workload. There are not many jobs that last more than twenty-four hours at a time, and in the era of genetic medicines
With help, most people can actually handle this kind of work pressure.
Many people say that the purpose of those large groups' efforts to develop genetic medicines is not to benefit mankind, but to squeeze more value from people.
The emergence of the restricted area means the birth of a new era. While the world pattern is changing, a series of professions have naturally emerged. In addition to the explorers who walk on the edge of life and death, there are also a few related civil servants——
For example, a stone tablet researcher.
Even though the stone tablets in the restricted area are only engraved with a simple code name of the restricted area and letters representing the danger level, which may seem worthless, in fact, the stone tablets actually contain many extremely valuable mysteries, otherwise it would not be possible to derive the curse.
Such an extraordinary system as the Tattoo Master.
In fact, as an emerging extraordinary system, although the Curse Pattern Master route is still immature, it has already shown great potential.
The emergence of the Curse Pattern Master naturally could not have happened overnight, but after thirty years of research, and then under the leadership of a talented stone tablet researcher named Xue Hongyu, all the research results were integrated and finally created
Out of this extraordinary route.
Someone once said that understanding the stone tablets of restricted areas is equivalent to decrypting most of the restricted areas, and it also means mastering most of the world.
This may be an exaggeration, but one thing is true, that is, the significance of interpreting the stone tablet in the restricted area is absolutely very important, and there is most likely some horrifying truth hidden behind it.
However, in the two hundred years since the Forbidden Zone appeared, people's interpretation of the stone tablets has indeed become more and more in-depth. However, in the end, no one can truly fully interpret the stone tablets. Many talented researchers worked on interpreting the stone tablets before they died, but in the end they could only die with regrets, unable to see it until they died.
to the truth.
Wang Xiaoxi is naturally not a senior researcher. He is mainly responsible for serving as the researcher's assistant.
To put it more bluntly, he is actually a handyman in the company, with basically no say. He is ordered around by the researchers all day long, and his salary is not much higher.
Perhaps it is because the manpower limit of this era far exceeds that of the old era. Today's unskilled labor force has become increasingly worthless. Unless you are an extraordinary person, even if many people have infinite manpower, they will eventually be reduced to a coolie.
fate.
Not everyone can become a genetic warrior after being injected with genetic medicine, and not all genetic warriors have the courage to fight. Most people are still eager to find a stable job, and this is the case for Wang Xiaoxi.
Today's work is harder, but it is better than stability. You must know that most of the money-making jobs are outside the safe zone. The more you earn, the more likely you will lose. You may lose your life easily, which is equivalent to exchanging life for money. Therefore, although he envies
, but not jealous either.
"If I had read more books back then, maybe I could be as majestic as those researchers now. I could get away with it by sitting in front of the replica stone all day long, and I could still shout and play tricks on the handymen below if I had nothing to do.
prestige."
Wang Xiaoxi sighed and suddenly regretted it.
He didn't study hard and didn't have the talent, so he naturally didn't get a job as a researcher. Afterwards, he was injected with genetic medicine, but it didn't have much effect. It can be said that he can't achieve anything if he can't do anything by force.
So now he can't be a researcher, he can only be a handyman under the researcher.
The apartment is a bit far from the company, but Wang Xiaoxi is still reluctant to spend money to take a taxi. In fact, he can completely rely on his physical fitness close to that of an E-class genetic warrior to run home, but the recent ban issued by the Bureau of Prohibition clearly prohibits this.
"This is not allowed, and that is not allowed. You can't go beyond human limits... I have to work 24 hours a day since I started working. This is something that is beyond ordinary people's cognition. Why is no one taking care of it?"
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoxi felt dissatisfied, but she didn't have the guts to violate the ban of the Bureau of Prohibition Removal.
Regarding the original intention of the Anti-Prohibition Bureau to issue the ban, people in the company have long speculated that it must have something to do with extraordinary power.
This is actually nonsense, and Wang Xiaoxi can guess it himself, because apart from extraordinary power, there is nothing that can make the Forbidden Bureau so aggressive.
Some people said it was the appearance of an A-level transcendent, others said it was related to Huang Quan's recent little moves, and some people said there was an abnormality in a certain forbidden area, which caused the Bureau of Prohibition Removal to send a lot of manpower there. Now that there is insufficient manpower, the ban was issued.
Warn some people not to act recklessly.
There are many guesses, but Wang Xiaoxi just takes it as a joke. Who can't make nonsense? Maybe something has escaped from the restricted area... Haha.
He was thinking as he returned to the Sunshine Apartment and arrived at the door of his house.
He took out the key and opened the door while looking at the floor in front of the door.
There have been no muddy footprints at the door in the past few days. It seems that the prankster probably doesn't dare to come back again.
Of course, it might not be a prank. I heard that even people from the Prohibition Bureau came that day. I don’t know if it’s true or not. But now there have been no abnormalities for several days. I think even if there is a problem, it should be solved.
.
Wang Xiaoxi took a hasty bath, came out and blew her hair while complaining: "I'm so tired."
"No, dogs are not as tired as you."
Hearing this, the expression on his face suddenly turned bitter. He turned to look at his beloved dog Hei Ya who was chewing on meat bones in the corner, and sighed in his heart.
Rough words but not rough reasoning...
Damn it!
Who is speaking?
Wang Xiaoxi instantly became alert and turned around to look around, but there was no one in the room.
If I have to say... there is also a dog.
But who are you kidding? How can a dog talk? This is a safe zone, not a restricted zone...
Thinking like this, his eyes moved involuntarily to the black dog, and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly.
"It can't really be Hei Ya..."
He muttered to himself.
"It's me." The next second, a majestic voice spoke seriously, "But I don't like the name Black Fang. Call me White Fang."
Wang Xiaoxi was horrified. Black Tooth actually dropped the bone and looked at him. It was really speaking human words!
He was frightened, but he couldn't help but said: "But...but you are clearly a black dog..."
"Can't the black dog be called White Fang? If you look sad every day, shouldn't you also call it 'Xiao Xi'?"
Wang Xiaoxi was stunned and said with a pinched neck: "This is different!"
"What's the difference?"
"You are a dog and I am a human."
The black dog lay there without speaking, with a faint smile on his face, as if he was sarcastically.
Wang Xiaoxi felt something was wrong inexplicably, and he mustered up the courage to ask: "Why can dogs talk?"
"You have to ask yourself that," Black Dog said with a smile.
"Ask myself? Why?"
"Because..." The smile on Hei QuanGou's face became more and more sarcastic.
"...You are a dog too."
At the same time, Lu Zhan took Bai Mo and pushed open the door of the interrogation room next to the dog named Xiao Yinzhi.
