Shen Wang is a patient. A patient with the new genetic disease who should be treated in a hospital.

The cause of this new type of genetic disease is very simple. The hidden pollution in the parents’ bodies causes genetic abnormalities in the fetus during its development in the womb. This is why the pathological manifestations of genetic diseases can vary greatly, with almost no two patients having the same symptoms.

In the early stages, some scientists believed that this new genetic disease was more like a mutant who failed to awaken.

Shen Wang’s pathological symptoms are also very strange. Under normal circumstances, his body is stronger than that of ordinary people. But when the disease manifests, he will be extremely hungry and thirsty, and his body will be so weak that he can’t move, but his aggressiveness will be greatly enhanced, biting whoever he can catch.

He needs to eat a lot, but ordinary food can’t give him a sense of fullness, which can only make his desire to eat stronger.

It is also this experience that makes Shen Wang grow up to be a person who is casual and disorderly on weekdays, but will be extremely extreme when encountering things.

He lives an unhappy life and, of course, he doesn’t care whether his means of handling things will make others feel uncomfortable.

So, when he was woken up in the middle of the night, Shen Wang was in a very bad mood and almost crazy. He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. His mind was full of burying the guy who made the noise alive.

“Dad, I’m sorry! It hurts!” The girl’s cry resounded throughout the floor.

“You’re a money-loser! You’re a troublemaker! How are you still alive? You’re just like your mother, a wretch who wants to take my life!” The man’s insults were not to be outdone, and the whip and the girl’s cries came one after another.

It was the neighbor on the right.

Shen Wang sat up from the bed expressionlessly. He pushed open the door, but he didn’t expect that there was another person in the corridor at night.

The man was the neighbor on the left. He had just come back from outside, and there was still a residual smell of cold wind on his body. He was wearing a guard uniform with a bulge around his waist. He should be carrying a gun. It looked like he had just finished his shift and went home.

The man looked over when heard someone open the door.

“Hey, you just moved in? Hello, my name is Song Chen, I live next door to you.” The man was very familiar.

Shen Wang glanced at him, then looked to the right. After walking out of the door, the sound over there became louder, and the voice-controlled light kept flickering with the sound.

Song Chen knew why he came out at a glance, “Don’t look at it, I can’t help it. The man is a mutant. He was parasitized by pollutants during an operation. He broke a leg to save his life. When he came back, his wife ran away and left the daughter with him. Mutants are prone to madness. After experiencing these things, his brain is broken, and he makes these noises from time to time.”

“If you think he is noisy, you can call the police. He will be quiet for a month after the police come.”

Shen Wang thought: Since he can be quiet when the police come, it means that his brain is not completely broken. He knows to be quiet for a few days after being found.

He knows these people’s psychology too well.

“No need to call the police.” Shen Wang suddenly laughed.

Song Chen paused to open the door of his apartment and was stunned for a moment.

Shen Wang’s appearance is really good. He has a smile even when he is not smiling. He looks harmless and casual, just like those old-fashioned people who don’t like to meddle in other people’s affairs and are not annoying. But once he laughs for no reason, this sense of harmlessness is reduced, with a subtle sense of weirdness.

“I have a good way to make him shut up as soon as possible.”

Song Chen looked at Shen Wang strangely, “What do you have in mind?”

“You’ll know in a moment.” Shen Wang walked to Song Chen’s side, his voice was very low, and his slightly low tone coupled with his delicate and beautiful face made people feel a little cold behind their backs.

He even asked politely: “Can you lend me your gun?”

Ah? What? Borrow what?

Song Chen almost didn’t react. After working in the guard team for so long, this was the first time someone asked him to borrow a gun. Damn!

“Of course not!”

So Shen Wang spread his hands and turned away, only when he walked about three meters away did he say lightly: “Sorry, I acted first and asked later.”

Song Chen was stunned for a moment, he hurriedly touched his waist, and sure enough, the firearm he was wearing was gone. He hurriedly chased after him. Every mutant in the system would be equipped with a gun, but this did not mean that they could hand over the gun to outsiders. If he was discovered, he would have his salary deducted!

But before he could speak, Shen Wang arrived at the destination first. He fired at the door of the room that made the noise at a very fast speed.

With a bang, the gunshot was not loud, but the bullet directly broke the door lock. Shen Wang kicked it and the door of the apartment was kicked open directly.

Because Shen Wang acted so suddenly, not only Song Chen, whose gun was taken away, but also the man who was beating the child in the room was stunned. The girl was still crying, and her whole body was covered with red and swollen scars from being beaten under the incandescent light.

“Good evening.” Shen Wang smiled at the room, his smile was as gentle as the sunshine in spring, and his voice was very light, as ethereal as a dandelion floating in the air.

“I am the new neighbor next door, my name is Shen Wang.”

Shen Wang raised the gun and pointed the muzzle at the man’s head.

The moment he saw the gun clearly, the man immediately panicked. He tried to run away, but fell directly because of his disabled right leg.

“Who are you?!” He could only yell to try to drive Shen Wang away, “What do you want to do?! This is a society ruled by law!”

Hearing the man’s yell, Song Chen almost laughed out loud.

So this bastard knows that this is a society ruled by law?

Unfortunately, Shen Wang didn’t listen to this at all. He pulled the safety bolt very calmly and fired a shot at his feet without hesitation, only one centimeter away from his feet.

The man screamed in horror.

“Shut up.”

Shen Wang continued to speak in a very gentle tone, and the listeners felt like spring breeze. If he wasn’t pointing a gun at someone else…

“From today on, we are neighbors. For the sake of neighborly friendship, I think I have a great responsibility, so I have to tell you one thing to prevent any misunderstandings between us.”

“I hate noise very much. How much do I hate it? Probably if you make such a sound again, I will cripple your other leg just like now.”

“Do you understand?”

The man subconsciously covered his mouth with both hands, and his whole body was shaking.

“It seems you understand.” Shen Wang nodded with satisfaction, he put away the gun and turned to walk out of the room.

Song Chen stood blankly by the door, so Shen Wang threw the gun in his hand back into his arms.

“Thanks, handsome guy.” Shen Wang even praised him in a good mood, “The weapon is very useful.”

When Song Chen reacted, Shen Wang had already returned home and locked the door. Only the blank Song Chen and the door next door that was kicked into scraps were left at the scene.

Song Chen glanced at the gun in his arms, and then at the domestic violence man who was scared silly and had not reacted yet, and finally couldn’t help frowning and grinning.

“Damn, another lunatic is here.”

“But as expected, the best way to deal with a lunatic is to be crazier than him. If there is any trouble in the future, just arrange it next to the highly polluted mutant.”

Song Chen’s words were full of hints.

“No, I don’t want it!” The domestic violence man’s eyes were filled with even more fear. He limped to the corridor with one leg even if his legs were weak from the scare.

He was holding the door and almost knelt down.

“I can’t go to S District! My pollution level is less than 70%, and I have a daughter. S District is full of crazy mutants. We will die if we go there!”

Song Chen looked at him calmly, “Do you know you have a daughter now? Weren’t you very arrogant before?”

“A good neighbor moved in next door to us. He knew how to deal with you on the first day. This is really a good idea.”

“If you make any more noise, your daughter will go to the orphanage and you will go to S District. It’s settled.”

The domestic violence man’s face was pale. He knelt on the ground dejectedly, and he looked like he had aged ten years.

He was very scared.

Because the S District of Central City is the most special area of ​​the city. It is nominally under the responsibility of Central City, but actually belongs to the Pollution Control Center.

All the mutants who live in S District are those whose pollution level is so high that it cannot be controlled, or they even have extreme mental problems. They are sent to S District for living and treatment, but every mutant knows that the mutants sent to S District are constantly in danger, because from time to time there are people whose pollution level exceeds 100%.

S District is an alternative prison for mutants.

And once you enter S District, it means that the mutant has reached the end of the road.

……

After going crazy, there was no noise to disturb him in the second half of the night, and Shen Wang slept until dawn.

When he went out, Shen Wang glanced at the next door, only to see that the door lock that he had broken next door had not been repaired, but they just tied the door handle with a rope to barely close the door. Now it was silent, and he didn’t know what was going on inside.

Shen Wang shrugged and turned to leave the community.

Central City stipulates that all mutants must join the Pollution Control Center. Either to become a member of the guard team to protect the safety of Central City; or to join the dispatch team to go out of the city regularly to eliminate pollution sources.

Shen Wang was issued a new ID card with the mutant logo on it.

Of course, he would not go to the Pollution Control Center to prove his original identity.

Three years ago, the hospital where he worked was attacked by high-level pollutants. He also disappeared for three years after this incident and was judged dead.

This is a very troublesome thing. If he uses his previous identity, he will have to explain to the Pollution Control Center why he is not dead, where he went, and why he came back three years later…

It is better to pretend to be a wandering mutant of unknown origin and go to work.

Unlike the shelters built in remote areas, each city and each area has a subway line leading to the Pollution Control Center, which can go directly to the headquarters of the Center.

Many people say: The center of Central City is the closest to the old times. People live and work in peace and contentment. The streets are full of shops. There are guards patrolling at every intersection, and even the street lights will not be turned off at night. This is simply the Garden of Eden for people born at the end of the world.

This also led to countless people wanting to enter the Central City and become citizens. However, except for the mutants, the requirements for entering Central City are extremely high, and it is not possible to join just by wanting to.

Following the flow of people, Shen Wang waited for the green light at a traffic light, and there were quite a lot of people around him.

Central City is very expensive, and I don’t know how many people are living in it.

So, it’s not a big deal nor strange to have someone doing performance art, right?

Shen Wang looked at the people standing at the intersection and thought casually.

There was a clown wearing a doll costume, with a red messy headgear, and a twisted smile painted on his face with red and white paint. He held a handful of red balloons in his hand, which should be hydrogen balloons. If they weren’t pulled by a rope, they would have flown into the sky long ago.

Vehicles kept shuttling next to the clown, which looked extremely thrilling, but the clown didn’t even blink.

Shen Wang looked at the clown, and the clown looked at Shen Wang, and then the clown suddenly showed a strange smile to Shen Wang.

But in a breath, the clown who was at the intersection suddenly appeared in front of Shen Wang. No one noticed that there was a strange clown in the crowd. Some of them were playing with their phones, and some were waiting for the traffic light.

With a ding-dong sound, the green light came on, and everyone crossed the road in a hurry. No one looked at the clown.

Only Shen Wang raised his eyebrows slightly, and finally confirmed that the clown seemed to be coming for him.

The clown raised his hand, holding a balloon, and handed the balloon to Shen Wang.

“Give it to me?”

The clown didn’t speak, and the smile on his face became more and more weird. It just kept raising its hand and asked Shen Wang to take the balloon.

At that moment, there was a bang in the distance, and a shout that was like tearing a throat.

“Don’t take the balloon!”

The bullet penetrated the clown’s body, but it didn’t leave any scars. It laughed even more disgustingly and insisted on handing the balloon to Shen Wang. Shen Wang stretched out his hand, as if to take the balloon, so the clown laughed more brilliantly and more cautiously.

But at that moment, the outstretched hand grabbed the clown’s wrist. The clown was stunned for a moment, and even the smile froze on his face.

It seemed that it had never thought that someone would grab its hand.

Shen Wang finally spoke. He looked at the clown quietly. His deep black eyes were full of peace. He looked beautiful and harmless, but it made people feel numb for no reason.

“I hate balloons mixed with human blood the most.”

“You have caused me psychological harm. What should I do? How are you going to compensate me?”

The clown tried to pull out his wrist, but for some reason he couldn’t pull it out.

Low-level pollutants have no wisdom, they only have instincts: hunting, expansion, survival, and a natural fear of hunters.

It was scared, and its intuition told it that if it stayed here any longer, it would die!

There was another bang. This time the bullet shattered the balloon in the clown’s hand. The clown finally found a chance to break free from Shen Wang’s hand and quickly disappeared into the air.

Shen Wang glanced at the balloon fragments on the ground, and turned his head to look to the side.

A uniformed guard ran over with a gun in his arms. He looked at Shen Wang with complicated eyes, and finally turned off the communicator beside his ear.

“Report: D591 pollutant [The Clown selling Balloons] appeared again.”

He paused for a moment before speaking, “This time there is one victim involved.”

Although he felt like the clown just now seemed to be fleeing in panic.
