◎Prometheus pushed a new tomb post to her◎

Countdown to day seven.

Huo Wenxi's visit for the pollution inspection was just a formality and ended after eight hours.

But now she no longer has eight hours to waste. There is chaos outside. Huo Wenxi sits in the office. She makes a few decisions, which the team members will execute.

This matter involves too many people. The investigation team is only responsible for the investigation and does not have absolute execution power. Other departments are equally busy. Now the top management is in chaos. Several meetings have been held, but there is no solution at present.

Huo Wenxi's face was pale. She had overused her supernatural powers and was now in very poor health.

The report was on her desk, and Zhu Ning's test results were also out. She was as stable as ever.

There are a total of sixty-seven employees involved in this incident, and only thirty have completed the observation. Zhu Ning is one of them.

Huo Wenxi had read her inspection reports many times, but if pollutants could evade inspections via existing mechanisms, perhaps Zhu Ning could do so as well.

Even though Huo Wenxi and Zhu Ning cooperated, he did not suppress his suspicion of Zhu Ning.

Zhu Ning completed everything Huo Wenxi asked him to do perfectly. She pondered for a moment and informed Zhu Ning to leave the cleaning center immediately after the inspection.

Huo Wenxi knocked open an invisible door.

The person who became a pollutant was named Kong Yue. His information was already on the table. There was no doubt about it. He was just an ordinary person. He didn't even have any special abilities. He just enhanced his abilities through mechanical transformation.

The members of the investigation team originally hoped that Huo Wenxi could find the suspicious information among these materials, just like she accurately saw that there was something wrong with Jiang Ping's information.

But now Huo Wenxi can't do it. She has temporarily lost her special abilities and is no different from an ordinary person.

Her intuition had always been like her eyes, but now she felt like she had lost her sight and was living in complete darkness.

Zhuang Lin knocked on the door, "Team Leader, it's time."

Huo Wenxi stood up. She was now on the 300th floor. In fact, she had never been above the 300th floor. This was the maximum distance she had ever been.

She is not in control of everything in the cleaning center, and she needs to report the situation this time.

Huo Wenxi walked into a pure white room with a 30-meter-high screen above it, like a huge movie screen.

A person appeared on the screen. She was sitting in front of a huge mahogany table. The background was a huge Bagua plate. The Bagua plate filled the screen, making the person look very small.

Sitting in the main seat was a white-haired woman named Huo Jinsheng. Huo Wenxi was known as the little witch, and this one was the old witch.

Huo Jinsheng's long braids were not hanging down, but were neatly tied up at the back of his head. Because of his thick hair, the bun looked like a symbol of majesty when viewed from the front.

There was a piece of printed paper on Huo Jinsheng's desk. It was the photo Huo Wenxi had used when she asked the elders in her family. She photocopied the information she got from the deserted village and asked the elders in her family, but no one responded to her, just asked them to take a look.

Huo Wenxi's intuition told him that the Huo family knew what that thing was.

Huo Jinsheng said, "Wenxi."

Huo Wenxi was very respectful in front of Huo Jinsheng and called out, "Grandma."

Huo Jinsheng is one hundred years old this year. She is the head of the Huo family and also Huo Wenxi's great-grandmother.

Huo Jinsheng clasped his hands together and asked, "Has your ability disappeared?"

The most useful thing about the Huo family is their eyes. Huo Jinsheng's abilities are even stronger than hers, so Huo Wenxi couldn't possibly hide it from her. She only said, "It's temporary."

Huo Jinsheng didn't dwell on this topic any further. "I asked you to go to District 103 to train you. I have high hopes for you."

Huo Wenxi is the future successor.

Huo Wenxi didn't say anything. Huo Jinsheng asked, "What did you find?"

Huo Wenxi: "I will make a detailed report..."

Huo Jinsheng asked again: "What did you find?"

Huo Wenxi paused and replied, "Pollution can disguise itself as humans. Someone might want to sacrifice Area 103."

Huo Jinsheng didn't comment and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Huo Jinsheng's question was very strange. She asked what they had discovered and what they wanted to do. Huo Wenxi said: "Save District 103."

Huo Jinsheng: "Then you are too late."

Huo Wenxi was stunned: "When?"

Huo Jinsheng: "It's too late before you intervene. The Mechanical Oceanarium is your last chance."

Huo Wenxi knew that what Huo Jinsheng said would come true, and she could see part of the future.

Huo Jinsheng: "I suggest you give up and leave Area 103. It will be infected sooner or later."

Huo Wenxi's throat felt a little dry. She was very smart and immediately realized that the Huo family had known about this for a long time.

They are on the 300th floor, already surpassing the height of the clouds, like a Tower of Babel built with modern technology.

All living beings are right under their feet, and they can decide the life and death of a city at will.

Huo Wenxi asked: "Did this happen with your tacit consent?"

Huo Jinsheng: "This is a tradition."

Tradition.

Huo Jinsheng admitted it, which means that the first-class citizen chaebols almost knew about it. What did they make a deal with?

The other four levels of citizens are like fuel. They have the ability to produce humans. As long as they turn on the machine, they can create more artificial humans, robots and clones anytime and anywhere.

Area 103 was about to be abandoned, and all first-class citizens knew the news in advance and evacuated immediately.

Huo Wenxi belongs to the Huo family. She is the future successor of the Huo family. Huo Jinsheng is reminding her to do things that are in line with her identity.

Huo Wenxi missed the best opportunity to rescue. As long as she left Area 103, she could completely let go of this matter. Her family would not cling to a failed situation.

This incident will become Huo Wenxi's downfall. She has always been a proud girl and has never admitted defeat in her life.

Huo Wenxi didn't say anything. Huo Jinsheng knew that Huo Wenxi was very stubborn and said, "I won't give you any hints. You can make your own choice."

This is a test for Huo Wenxi.

…

Zhu Ning walked out of the cleaning center building.

Every time she walked out of the building, her mood was different. She would instinctively look up at the building that reached into the sky, and every time she wondered if there was something above her looking down at her.

The incinerator in the distance was burning, like a beacon in the middle of the night.

It’s really strange that Zhu Ning thinks the garbage dump is a beacon.

The observation room was crowded, and she underwent the examination very quickly this time, taking only eight hours.

But perhaps the cleaning center was too chaotic, and those scientific researchers should have realized that this inspection method was meaningless.

Their instruments cannot detect non-natural humans.

The cleaning center was in a state of desolation. The hall had been cleaned and the floor was spotless, but the scene yesterday had left a scar in everyone's heart.

Some people didn't say hello when they saw Zhu Ning. There seemed to be some hesitation in their eyes, and then they walked away in a hurry.

In the current situation, no one can guarantee their own safety, and no one can guarantee the safety of others.

Zhu Ning sensed a subtle difference and opened the official forum of the cleaning center. The most hotly discussed topic was the investigation report of the investigation team.

Howen Creek announced that there were pollutants lurking around, which they named unnatural humans.

The word Zhu Ning made up has become the official name today.

The investigation report caused an uproar as soon as it came out. If there were only vague concerns before, it is now almost confirmed.

Employees still have countless questions, such as how to distinguish pollutants lurking in the crowd, and what methods are there?

What is the difference between them and humans?

But Huo Wenxi did not answer these questions, only saying to wait for further notice.

Soon, the most popular post became: "Audition! Vote for the top ten pollutants you suspect most."

This incident has made everyone realize that pollutants are lurking around them. The Internet is in chaos and all kinds of monsters have emerged. Because of the anonymity of the Internet, they can do things that they would never dare to do in reality.

In reality, no one would dare to point at Zhu Ning’s nose and ask if he is a pollutant.

But in the online poll, she was first on the suspect list, with a thousand people voting for her, far exceeding the second place by 500 votes.

The various evidences listed by netizens actually make sense. For example, why did she encounter a rating error when she participated in the first task?

Why does she, a cleaner, have personal qualities far superior to those of a demon hunter?

Why is the deserted village incident so strange? What did she experience and who is she?

Why is it such a coincidence that the deserted village and the mechanical oceanarium can survive every time?

Zhu Ning guessed right. All her previous strengths became doubtful at this moment. If she were an ordinary employee, she would also suspect that there was something wrong with her.

A few people below spoke up for Zhu Ning, "If she was a pollutant, why would she save people? Use your brain when you speak."

"She saved my life once, she's definitely not a traitor."

Someone mocked: "Just pretending."

"How many Grey Eagles have died on missions with her? Don't you realize she's a plague? No one who gets involved with her will have a good ending."

After this sentence, fewer people spoke up for Zhu Ning because they could not refute it.

The death of a member of the Grey Eagle team has been announced, and they suspect it is related to Zhu Ning.

Someone else tried to explain to Zhu Ning, but his words were so weak that they were soon drowned out.

Zhu Ning had anticipated that this day would come. Creating gods and destroying gods are two sides of the same coin. The right to explain is not in her hands, and it is useless for her to explain.

She used to be the spiritual beacon for the cleaners in the deserted village, but now she is an object of hatred.

Zhu Ning had guns in her car. Prometheus provided her with a full set of standard weapons. Unexpectedly, one day she would need to consider using them to defend against her colleagues.

bite--

She received a communication request and thought it was a strange call insulting her, but when she picked up the phone, she found it was Li Nianchuan.

Zhu Ning was quite surprised. Li Nianchuan was not on Bao Ruiming's assassination list last time. After the deserted village incident, he seemed to be ready to live his own life.

After the call was connected, Li Nianchuan immediately asked, "Zhu Ning! Are you okay?"

Zhu Ning: "It's okay, how did you know the news?"

Didn't Li Nianchuan resign? Why is he still browsing the employee forum?

Li Nianchuan breathed a sigh of relief: "My friend told me."

This matter caused such a big stir that someone came to ask Li Nianchuan what he thought of Zhu Ning. Li Nianchuan naturally chose to defend Zhu Ning and said a lot of good things about him.

For Li Nianchuan, if Zhu Ning is a pollutant, then he is a pollutant. If all pollutants are so good, then he would like the whole world to become a pollutant.

Unfortunately, his colleague who asked him didn't listen and seemed a little disappointed. He probably wanted to hear some key evidence, but ended up hearing a lot of flattery.

Zhu Ning got on the motorcycle and said "oh". Li Nianchuan paused and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Zhu Ning: "What's wrong?"

Li Nianchuan: "Ah?"

Zhu Ning has already turned the handle, and the wheels of the luxury car are spinning immediately into overspeed mode. It feels so good. The wind is whistling in his ears, and Zhu Ning is quietly feeling the extreme speed.

While driving, everyone seemed to calm down. After a while, Zhu Ning replied, "The situation is chaotic, and they just need someone to vent their anger on."

In a chaotic and disordered stage, people would rather find someone to hate.

It’s not that Zhu Ning is too sanctimonious, but she can’t solve the problem. The more you explain, the more trouble you will get.

In her previous life, Zhu Ning had experienced a similar thing. Zhu Ning first appeared in front of the media as a talented shooting girl. It can be said that she had gained both fame and fortune at a young age. At the peak of everyone's expectations of her, she made a mistake in the most important game and was almost scolded to death.

Some people even spread rumors that she was in love and neglected her training because she was too obsessed with love.

She was not yet an adult at the time, and the public opinion came at her like a tsunami.

During that time, Zhu Yao took her home from the training camp, confiscated her phone, and asked her two questions: "Did you try your best?"

Zhu Ning immediately argued, "I've been training for so long, of course I tried my best."

Zhu Yao: "Can you change reality?"

Zhu Ning: “…I can’t.”

Zhu Yao didn't ask any more questions and took Zhu Ning out to play. It was Zhu Ning's first time to go skiing.

She doesn't have to be accountable to anyone or prove anything to anyone.

When she reached the top again in the next competition, those words would naturally disappear, as if they had never existed.

Zhu Ning missed Ms. Zhu especially at this time.

Li Nianchuan said "oh" and thought that the boss's ideas were indeed different. Li Nianchuan originally wanted to comfort Zhu Ning, but found that it was completely unnecessary.

Zhu Ning: "Anyway, there are still nine unlucky guys, and I'm still number one."

There were a total of top ten people in the vote, and Zhu Ning was the champion. This was the strangest honor she had ever received, the Golden Pollution Award?

Li Nianchuan: "..."

What is there to be proud of?

Li Nianchuan asked: "Where's the captain? Is she okay?"

Zhu Ning hadn't actually received the news that Xu Meng had woken up, and fearing that Li Nianchuan would worry, he said, "She's fine."

Li Nianchuan breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you are safe."

They used to be a cleaning team. Although their team name A70265 looked like a license plate number, they had a pretty good relationship.

Zhu Ning parked the car on the side of the road. She hadn't been going anywhere today. She looked at the neon lights in the distance and asked, "How's your restaurant business going?"

Li Nianchuan: "I just rented a shop and recently renovated it. I live in the shop. The renovation is too expensive, so I do everything I can by myself. I have planned that after the first meal is finished and the shop opens, I will invite you and the captain."

Zhu Ning had listened to a lot of weird conspiracies, but suddenly heard such a trivial matter with a touch of everyday life, which made him feel warm in his heart.

But the end of the world is approaching, and Li Nianchuan’s store is not sure whether it can be opened.

The building is about to collapse, but the ants are still unaware of it.

Zhu Ning was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Leave Area 103."

"Huh?" Li Nianchuan thought he had misheard and asked, "Why?"

Zhu Ning: "No reason, just listen casually."

Li Nianchuan thought Zhu Ning was joking. Except for first-class citizens, if others wanted to go to another human base, how much financial resources would be needed? It would require money and connections. You had to ensure that the other area could accept you.

Ordinary people don’t have enough money to do this kind of thing in their entire lives.

Moreover, Li Nianchuan had just rented a store and paid a year's rent. Leaving now would be a waste of money.

But these words were spoken by Zhu Ning, and Li Nianchuan trusted Zhu Ning's words unconditionally. He said, "I will try."

Zhu Ning nodded, and her employee bracelet lit up. She didn't want to look at it, as it was all scolding her anyway.

But this time it was a bit too much. The employee forum page popped up directly. Zhu Ning closed it and opened it again. Her first reaction was that her employee bracelet might have been hacked.

Then thought it might be Prometheus.

Sure enough, Zhu Ning did not close the page again, and her eyes became deeper and deeper.

Zhu Ning: "Go to sleep, I have something to do."

Li Nianchuan let out a cry and wanted to say something, but Zhu Ning had already hung up the phone.

Gray and black posts appeared in the employee forum, pushing up continuously and covering Zhu Ning's discussion thread. Prometheus pushed a new post to her.

Help! There seems to be another person in my house, and I don’t dare to talk to it.
