Unconventional security

The medicine was slowly injected into the body, and the syringe was handed to Dr. Zhou for safekeeping.

Everyone watched Chen Bei quietly, but he didn't feel any discomfort, which was completely different from his state after the injection.

"No reaction? Do you feel anything?"

"Absolutely not." Chen Bei shook his head. "The effect is completely different from what I experienced after the injection before. Could it be that the medication is unstable and didn't work?"

"Hmm... the letter also mentioned it's for the soul, so it might be different from regular potions?"

Dr. Zhou frowned and speculated, looking at Chen Bei who seemed completely unaffected.

"Let's wait a little longer, as long as nothing unexpected happens once we get to the upper city."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. At first, some people kept an eye on Chen Bei, but as time went on and nothing unusual happened to him, everyone stopped paying attention.

On the other side, in District 57.

Harry Davis sat in a room in Utopia, a cup of tea with its steam just beginning to dissipate on the seat in front of him, but no one was sitting there.

squeak--

A young man pushed open the door and sat down opposite him, drinking the tea in his cup in one gulp.

"It's still warm. Looks like my efficiency is not bad."

Harry Davis smiled and poured him another cup: "Drink slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

"That guy has already been sent out. I did a rough comparison with the database and found several targets with similar faces. I sent people to investigate. The most likely one is the one from City 103. After all, most people who have unlocked the second gene lock have some kind of identity."

"I don't actually want someone with status; they're hard to control..."

Before the two could exchange more than a few words, the door was flung open again with a bang.

"Boss! Three explosions, we've run into the police... Chief Yan, good morning, Chief Yan."

Harry Davis's underling rushed in to report, but when he saw the other person in the room, he paused for a moment before greeting him.

"Um."

Director Yan gave a brief reply, and Harry Davis waved his hand, saying, "I've told you several times already, don't be rash when things happen."

"Just handle it normally, go out, and remember to do a good job with public relations."

......

"Hey, wake up, it's time to wake up."

"Chen Bei, the sun's already high in the sky!"

"If you don't get up, we're going to throw you down here! This guy's been sleeping for two days, aren't you sure he'll be alright?"

"What should we do? We can't wake him up! He needs a medical check-up to enter the city!"

"How about we take another route?"

"It's no use. Anyone entering the first 10 cities needs to undergo an anonymous medical examination. If he does that, he'll be captured and turned into a cybernetic spirit."

"How about... you slap him awake?"

Chen Bei vaguely heard some sounds, some of which sounded familiar... Oh, it was Ye Zhixue and the others.

Have I already slept for two days?

However, with my current physical condition, I can go a week without eating or drinking without any problems, so two days... that would mean I'd be in the 9th district!

"I'll slap them. I just unlocked a gene lock, so being confused won't hurt my brain."

Upon hearing this, Chen Bei immediately felt a gust of wind beside him, realizing that Yang Xiu had run over and was about to make a move.

Swish.

Just as Yang Xiu raised his hand to slap Chen Bei, who was still leaning against the car wall, he suddenly lunged forward.

"Holy crap, wake up... Ouch!"

Yang Xiu was stunned when Chen Bei suddenly attacked him. The slap he had just received landed squarely on the car wall, making him wince in pain.

"You're awake? How are you? Do you feel anything unusual?"

Seeing that Chen Bei had woken up, everyone else ignored Yang Xiu's condition and rushed to Chen Bei's side.

Dr. Zhou, in particular, was the first to arrive, even faster than Ye Zhixue.

Chen Bei sensed it carefully for a moment, then shook his head again.

"I don't feel any change, Doctor. I've been unconscious for two days?"

Dr. Zhou nodded and said, "You fell asleep four hours after the injection, and everything was normal during that time."

"Although you haven't woken up, you haven't been sleepwalking or talking in your sleep, nor have you developed a high fever. Your bodily functions are extremely stable."

Chen Bei got out of the car, took two deep breaths of fresh air, and then took out a cigarette and lit it.

Looking around, the street in front of the city gate was very wide, allowing nearly ten cars to pass side by side.

The routes on the ground are all electronic dashed lines, which change in real time the distance between vehicles and the estimated arrival time.

They are not on the streets now, but in the area outside the streets. This area, located on the outskirts, is where the refugees live.

But this isn't the place; it's a green oasis with very fresh air.

"It's like two completely different worlds."

Chen Bei sighed, recalling that in previous years when he came to Shangcheng District, he would follow the police station's vehicle, which never stopped along the way and never let them see the scenery.

Even though he had been to Shangcheng once before, Chen Bei was seeing the urban area and street scenes along the way for the first time.

"We'll be having a medical check-up soon. Follow behind Qian Feng. This time, we won't be going to District D."

Chen Bei had just caught his breath when Ye Zhixue walked over to him and explained the current situation.

"Not going to District D?"

"Yes, Qian Feng mentioned the first 10 districts. Caravans have designated areas to set up camp. Depending on the value of the goods sold by the caravan, they can sell in district B or district C."

"Their safety will be well guaranteed, and there will be hotels providing free accommodation. This time we are going to Zone B."

Ye Zhixue introduced the details one by one, while Chen Bei listened silently, observing the bustling traffic in front of him and silently calculating the finances.

Free accommodation, and the ability to designate a special camp area for caravans in areas B and C—how much city-state currency would that cost?

As a core area, the number of caravans passing through here every day is a hundred times that of the 103rd district!

After taking the last drag of his cigarette, Chen Bei replied, "If that's the case, then I'll have to go to District D myself to take a look."

District D is chaotic, but information and supplies are much easier to obtain than in other districts.

It's just a matter of spending more city-state coins.

There's a reason why the black market is called the black market.

"You're awake? Come on in, we can go in now."

Just as Chen Bei recovered, he saw Qian Feng waving at them from afar.

He and Ye Zhixue rejoined the main group, following closely behind Qian Feng onto the main street.

An extra-wide machine is placed in front of the city gate for scanning physical examinations; it can accommodate 10 people at a time.

"You can go in when the white light in front of you turns green."

Chen Bei and the others followed Qian Feng to stand up, and a green line swept down over them.

The white indicator light in front of him turned green, and Chen Bei stepped off the detector and walked forward to meet up with Ye Zhixue.

I had only taken two steps forward when someone called out from beside the medical examination station.

"Wait a minute, kid, come over here and register your information."

Chen Bei turned around and saw that the man was pointing his finger at him.

"Yes, that's you. You're here to register your identity information for comparison with the records. Once the comparison is complete, you can go in normally."

Identity information?

He's basically been smuggled in...
