Bionic Era

noisy.

Messy footsteps.

In front of the dark and damp passage, there are countless flickering lights.

Blurry, can't see clearly.

Lu Wen felt that this piece of memory might be somewhere underground.

But suddenly he saw a whole field of light.

It was a narrow window, set into the stone wall, and the glass was covered with wet moss.

Through the window, it was hazy outside.

far away.

vaguely...

There is a building.

The surface of the building is covered with shining white stars.

...

"Sir? Are you all right, sir?"

A gentle greeting came from the ear.

Lu Wen rubbed his forehead, raised his head, and found that it was a bionic person.

The android was looking at him with concern.

"It's okay." Lu Wen replied calmly.

"If you have any discomfort, you can go to Fanxing Building for help, there are the best medical equipment."

"OK."

Lu Wen simply responded with a few words.

The android left after making sure he was okay.

The bionics here are similar to those in the ground world, and they all focus on human safety.

After the memories recede.

The hustle and bustle of the night filled my ears again.

Light and shadow, sound and shadow, all perceptions are restored one by one, and the surrounding world becomes real again.

Lu Wen looked up into the distance.

Far away from the Fanxing Building, the only building with the same height is the Haoyue Building.

"Awakening number zero? Someone accidentally saw her engraved hatred of humans in the program, so brought her to the underground world for transformation?"

Everyone is playing with memory recall.

Look back and find an opportunity to ask Number Zero again to see how much she remembered during this time.

"Although I don't know if this memory is real... If it really happened, my location at that time should be on the top floor of Haoyue Building..."

The Haoyue Building in the distance is brightly lit.

The missing moon symbol on the top shines brightly like pure white crystal.

While Lu Wen was thinking, suddenly a man in a black robe walked up to him.

The man looked mysteriously, glanced left and right, then lowered his voice, and said to Lu Wen: "Brother, do you want to cut the ticket?"

Lu Wen was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"want."

He took out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket and shook them.

The man's eyes lit up, and he took out a standard card from his pocket.

Tickets here refer to tickets.

A ticket to the stars.

Naturally, it was the temporary employee card that Ivan had mentioned to Lu Wen.

"You can only stay in the Fanxing Building for 24 hours. Remember, this card will become invalid after 24 hours. If you try to swipe the card to go out, you will be useless. You will be picked up by Fanxing's security guards and beat up. The deacons around here will be locked up for at least fifteen days, last time there was an unlucky guy..."

Deacon, quite familiar name.

Could it be that the same group of people from the Floating Void City were really used?

It's a pity that those old councilors were stabbed one by one by the old mayor of Central City, and the Supreme Council fell, otherwise we could still ask what happened.

"clear."

Listening to the man's request, Lu Wen nodded.

According to Ivan, most of those who buy temporary employee ID cards here have acquaintances there and can get a small amount of supplies.

One person went in empty-handed and came out with a bag.

The potions or other supplies inside are worth the fare, and they can make a lot of money.

Those who are related to Ivan can drive into the underground garage of the building and return with a full load.

But there are also many people...

There are neither acquaintances nor connections.

Want to try my luck again.

After entering the Fanxing Building, I wandered around, looking for research departments or individuals who could get goods, and I wasted time without knowing it... Twenty-four hours actually passed quite quickly.

The deal is over.

Lu Wen took the card and walked towards Fanxing Building step by step.

As for the authenticity of this temporary employee certificate, there is no need to doubt it too much, after all, this matter was acquiesced by Fanxing's senior management.

If anyone dares to sell fakes near the park and cut off some high-level sources of income, it is estimated that there will be no good fruit to eat.

There was no one at the gate of the building.

Nuoda is a large company. A small number of people work overtime at night, and most of them go home to rest. The pace of life in this world is very slow.

As for those who work overtime... It's hard to say whether it's really for work.

Maybe it was an appointment with others to trade supplies at night, so I chose to stay.

"drop--"

"Welcome home."

Under the watchful eyes of several security guards, Lu Wen walked slowly into the hall.

A huge crystal chandelier hangs down, shining brightly.

The decoration in the hall is simple.

Mainly white, supplemented by various simple stripes and star points.

There is only one bionic person at the front desk, smiling all the time.

"Twenty-four hours is enough to do a lot of things."

Lu Wen walked through the lobby, behind him was the elevator in the low zone, and behind it was the elevator in the high zone.

He stood in front of the elevator in the lower area, looked at the number of floors, and hesitated for a moment.

The button was not pressed immediately.

Beside him was a guy who was also waiting for the elevator.

The man whispered, "Brother, did you come in to try your luck?"

"How do you know?" Lu Wen deliberately replied in a rather surprised tone.

I only heard the man proudly say: "You didn't wear Fanxing's employee uniform, so you probably bought a temporary employee card to come in. I saw you took a few glances after entering the lobby just now. It is probably the first time you have come here. Standing in the elevator You hesitated before, and didn't seem to want to contact anyone, so you are a complete newcomer?"

"Brother is amazing, you can see it."

"That's... I've seen a lot of people like you." The man continued, "It's a pity that most of them just come in and hit a wall, eat a face of ashes, and then leave in despair. There is no way out, so don't do this business."

"Brother, do you have a connection?"

"Of course, who doesn't know me among the higher-ups of Fanxing?"

It is basically certain that it is blowing.

If you know a real high-level person, you can pull supplies by cart by cart like Ivan, and you can get all kinds of medicines, parts, and firearms.

It is not possible to wait for the elevator with Lu Wen here.

But Lu Wen still asked in a low voice: "Brother, can you introduce me to a few..."

"cannot."

The man shook his head.

He just wanted to show off the superiority of an old businessman in front of newcomers.

"This is my unique way, except for my own brother, I will not tell anyone..."

Before he finished speaking, he only felt a chill in his palm.

Lu Wen gave him something.

Very heavy, heavy hand.

He touched it carefully and confirmed that it was a long metal object, so he lowered his head and glanced at it.

gold.

He looked calm, silent, and kicked the gold bar into his pocket.

"I didn't expect to meet my long-lost brother here."

Sure enough, as long as you have money, you can find your loved ones all over the world.

"Brother, you are so rich, why do you still come to this business?"

The man asked a question, and then pressed the elevator on the twelfth floor.

"Life is too comfortable and boring. I want to find something exciting to do." Lu Wen replied.

"Looking for excitement? Do you want to play this kind of difficult game as soon as you come?"

The man sighed and shook his head, as if he didn't understand it, but he could barely understand it.

Rich man's fun?

Get the goods from here, and then pass through the high border wall, from the high-level world of the pure human race into the barren and backward middle-level world outside the wall, sell it to other races, and earn a difference.

The intermediate process does not sound cumbersome, but it is dangerous.

Some creatures need genetic medicine, but they are poor, have no money, and don't want to die, so they may take risks to snatch them as personal middlemen.

If you grab it, you can live for a longer period of time, if you don't grab it, you will die earlier.

"Brother, what's your name?"

"Xia Wen."

"Brother Xia, my name is Lin Lin."

Just as he was talking, the elevator came down.

The two walked into the elevator together.

Lin Lin asked, "Brother Xia, do you have a gun?"

"No."

"Do you know anyone in the middle world or the mixed area, and do you know how to ship?"

"No, I don't know."

"Are you really here to risk your life?"

Lin Lin's eyes widened, and then he looked Lu Wen up and down.

The elevator slowly ascended.

Seeing that Lu Wen's skin was tender and young, he thought it might be the young master of a rich family who ran out to experience life without permission.

"Brother Xia, if I had your conditions, I would never do this business in my life. I will eat and drink every day until I die of old age."

"Everyone has his own ambition." Lu Wen smiled.

"Yeah, everyone has his own ambitions..."

Lin Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the gap between people is so big.

Some people are born with nothing to worry about, but they just want to find excitement between life and death.

Probably this is the so-called full and nothing to do?

"Brother Xia, are you going to stay in this business forever?" Lin Lin asked tentatively.

"No, I just want to experience it."

"Oh, all right……"

Lin Lin finally confirmed that this is indeed a young master from a rich family.

The moment the two chatted, the elevator had arrived.

Twelfth floor.

The elevator door opened slowly.

Outside is a pure white corridor, the floor tiles and wall paint are pure white, as is the overhead light.

"Brother Xia, you can just follow me. The interior of this building is very complicated, and it is easy to get lost if you are not careful, so some unlucky guys spent 24 hours inside and couldn't find their way."

"Can't you buy a few more employee ID cards?"

"Each employee card has a time limit. If you buy it today, you can only use it today, and it's... very expensive."

Lin Lin walked in the front.

Since it was night, there was no one here.

Turn left and right along the way, twists and turns, and they are all exactly the same corridor, the same pure white.

It's really easy to get lost.

"Brother Xia, you've grown so big, haven't you ever left the high-level world?" Lin Lin asked.

"Yes, I usually stay at home."

"No wonder... just follow me this trip. It's too easy to get into trouble alone. I know some shipping bosses in the middle world. I can also take you to the red light district over there. Pure humans are very popular there." Respect, think of you taking out a pile of banknotes from your pocket and throwing them in the air, those girls will post them and call you young master..."

Lin Lin promised that this trip would make Lu Wen quite satisfied.

Get paid and do things.

This idea is deeply rooted in his mind.

Lu Wen gave too much.

Besides, he felt that Lu Wen was the young master of a wealthy family, so he felt that it was necessary to make friends.

"Brother Xia, have you ever seen a movie called Bravely Entering the Mixed Zone?"

"No."

"This movie is about a rebellious young man from a rich family who secretly went to the mixed area of ​​the bottom world to have fun, but was targeted by his enemies. He was so embarrassed that he changed into tattered clothes and hid everywhere. In the end, he met a group of good brothers in the mixed area and defeated his enemies. , and found true love in the mixed zone..."

Between the two of them talking.

One after another, the little white ants climbed down from Lu Wen's body and began to walk towards each floor.

Not long after, Lin Lin brought Lu Wen to the door of a certain laboratory.

On the side of the door is written the person on duty at night.

"Brother Xia, when you go in, don't talk much, just look familiar."

"good."

Then there is a plot that conforms to Lu Wen's calculus.

Lin Lin knocked on the door.

The door opens.

The people inside called the two of them in.

The interior decoration of the laboratory is simple, mostly all kinds of expensive experimental instruments, and some large and small bottles and jars, which contain some biological organs or limbs.

"Why are there more people?"

"Doctor, he is my cousin, and he has some money in his hand, you see..."

"It's ok... tell your cousin not to look around blindly."

The man pointed to the glass cabinet beside him.

All kinds of potions and parts are placed randomly.

These things, which are very valuable in the mixed area, are quite common here.

There are many black bags on the side of the cabinet.

Lin Lin called Lu Wen to come forward.

He chose two robotic arms, thirty potions, and a pistol, and said to Lu Wen in a low voice, "Brother Xia, you must have a gun for self-defense."

"Bro, don't you have a gun?"

"No, I have. I bought this thing to sell in the middle world. This is the real huge profit. It's a pity that I can only get one at a time."

After Lin Lin finished the selection, Lu Wen also took some things casually.

Then the two paid the money and left the laboratory.

After walking away from the entrance of the laboratory, Lin Lin said, "Brother Xia, it's not convenient for me to say more just now, but you took some useless things."

"what?"

Lu Wen unzipped the zipper. Apart from a gun, there were needles inside.

There are different medicines in the needle tube.

"This thing." Lin Lin pointed to one of the rows of needle tubes.

"This?" Lu Wen took out one.

"Yes, it contains a sleep aid, like diazepam, but the medicine is more effective. One injection can make people sleep for more than twelve hours."

"No sales?"

"Basically, this thing can't be sold. People in the middle world don't have to worry about sleeping, but it's okay. Anyway, brother Xia, you are here to experience life, so you...you..."

Lin Lin's voice stopped.

He looked down at his thigh, where a needle was being inserted.

Can make a person sleep for twelve hours...

"Brother Lin, this bag of resources will belong to you when you get up tomorrow morning."

Lu Wen smiled at him, then punched him on the back of the head.

The position of the back of the head is very powerful and precise for punching.

If it is light, it will not make people faint, but if it is serious, it will kill you on the spot.

The method of casually knocking people out in the movie is very difficult in practice.

...

High building area.

late at night.

Singer sat in his office on the fifty-fifth floor with a calm expression.

There are no lights in the office.

There is no business to attend to.

He was sitting on a chair with his back to the desk, his breath was calm, and there was a huge floor-to-ceiling glass in front of him.

Sitting here, you can overlook the entire high-rise world.

The bustling lights of the night shone in his eyes.

As one of the starry fourteen powerful figures, second only to the sleeping leader, he enjoyed the feeling of overlooking the world.

"Crack..."

A voice suddenly came from behind.

Singer was very familiar with this sound. It was the opening of the office door.

In such a quiet night, if there is no urgent matter, no one should disturb him.

He frowned and turned around.

The office door is facing the desk.

Lu Wenzheng gently closed the door.

"There is monitoring, but the security guard in the duty room fell asleep."

"I know there must be bugs here, and I don't bother to spend time looking for them, but you will definitely not release them in our next communication."

"Fanxing's defense is much worse than I imagined."

"By the way, I know there is an emergency button under your desk, but the line should have been cut off by me."

Lu Wen turned around slowly.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, making a not-so-ugly smile.

"And don't try to open the drawer to take out the gun. My reaction speed should be much faster than yours."

Singer's hand, which was reaching for the drawer, froze.

He raised his head and faced Lu Wen.

The lights in the office were not turned on, but the bright lights outside at night allowed him to barely see the face of the person coming. He was a very young pure human.

"What do you want?" He didn't panic, but asked calmly.

"A truth."

"The world hides a lot of truth."

"I want it all."

Hearing this, Singer was silent for a moment.

He naturally knows many truths, and those truths can keep a pure human race like him in a dominant position.

In the face of life and truth, Singer chose the former.

"I can give you the truth, but..." He looked into Lu Wen's eyes and said seriously, "I didn't give it to you, someone else."

"no problem."

...

Everything went fairly smoothly.

It went smoothly beyond Lu Wen's imagination.

So much so that he was wondering if there was someone behind this who had designed everything and was just waiting for his arrival.

There is a sense of being in a set script.

He left Fanxing Mansion with the truth about a memory disk.

Lin Lin and the two packages of supplies were placed in a corner storage room by him. If nothing unexpected happened, he would wake up tomorrow morning, within twenty-four hours.

dawn.

Lu Wen returned to the old platform on the edge of the high-level world.

Everyone here knows him.

"My lord, have you finished your work so quickly?"

"Well, when will you go back?"

"You can go now if you want."

"Then now."

There is too much information in this storage disk, and Lu Wen needs to hand it over to the body in the ground world.

I have to find an opportunity to tell the people of the underground world.

【The cruel truth】

Lu Wen was still sitting by the window and opened the old car window.

Morning breeze slowly.

The tram starts.

The track goes up a little bit.

The high-level world gradually became smaller in his sight.

It didn't take long to drive past the high border wall.

Come to the middle world.

After jumping over the high wall, the track began to lower, but it was also tens of meters high.

Below is the territory of the dwarves, with rugged terrain and many valleys and gullies.

There are quite a few parallel tracks around.

If you stand on the ground and look up, these tracks look like long dragons, entrenched in the sky.

"If there are no accidents, it should be possible today..."

"drop……"

Suddenly there was a harsh tram horn on one side.

On the parallel track on the right, an equally old tram suddenly drove up.

catch up.

Then slow down and run parallel to the tram where Lu Wen is.

"drop……"

There was also a whistle on the left.

Lu Wen frowned.

Three trams run parallel.

He is in the middle.

Is the only passenger in this car.

As for the trams on the left and right sides, they were full of...humanoid machines.

Those bionics were expressionless and had the same appearance, like stiff sculptures carved out of a mold.

It looked like a corpse with its eyes open.

They stood by the window, all staring at Lu Wen.

There was a strange blue light in those mechanical eyes.

Lu Wen smelled something dangerous.

Sure enough, this road will not be too smooth.

"There is some truth to the uncanny valley theory of humanity."
