Unlike the other four floors, the fifth floor has very few permanent residents.

The officially registered population is less than 2,000 people, so the fifth floor is more like a private territory, and travel requests are difficult to apply, except for those who work here, and there are very few people from other levels to walk around here.

However, with Qiu Ming here, Zhang Heng and E-Sheep's applications were approved quickly.

After getting the tickets, the three of them entered the corresponding waiting hall according to the instructions, but it was also very deserted, except for them, there were only six or seven people scattered who were ready to go to the fifth floor space.

"Don't look around," Qiu Ming told the electronic sheep looking around, "Don't forget your current identity, many of the people who will go to the 5th floor are employees of the company, don't be seen by them." ”

"You're kind, but are you really thinking about us?" The electronic sheep was skeptical, but he still withdrew his gaze as Qiu Ming said, and did not squint.

"Of course, I've read countless people, and I know my current situation very well, and if I do anything inappropriate, before they take effect, this friend next to you must have slit my throat or cut a hole in the back of my head." "I like my job and I'm grateful to the company that gave me a job, but my life is more important than that. ”

"You're pretty self-aware." The Cyber Sheep scoffed.

"Recognizing danger is one of the most important survival instincts of living beings, not to mention humans, even paramecium knows how to avoid harmful stimuli through stress and tend to favor favorable stimuli." Qiu Ming said, "On the contrary, it is you, I have persuaded you many times, but you still prefer to go to dangerous places, which is really not very wise." ”

"That's not because you kidnapped Xu Qian!" The electronic sheep is not good-sighted.

Seeing this, Qiu Ming also closed his mouth with interest.

Not long after, an upward shuttle entered the station, and the mechanical arm on the side of the platform also moved, completing the assembly as quickly as possible, and loading the waiting hall where the three people were into the interior of the shuttle.

"Welcome to the fifth floor, and have a great trip."

An elegant female voice sounded, but it sounded a little creepy in the empty carriage.

…………

After about six minutes, the shuttle stopped moving again, and the robotic arm that had been prepared dismantled the carriage again and placed it in the arrivals hall.

Qiu Ming unbuckled his seat belt and honestly followed Zhang Heng and the electronic sheep out of the station.

It's not the same as the electric sheep imagined, the station on the fifth floor doesn't have that very luxurious feeling, although the building is more elaborate than the four floors below, but there seems to be no other difference in other aspects, and the station is also unusually deserted, both passengers and staff are pitiful.

"Where's the taxi?" The e-sheep looked up at the signs, but did not find a taxi stop.

"There's nothing for rent on the fifth floor." Qiu Ming said, "The permanent residents here have cars, and people who are engaged in ordinary work have shuttle buses to and from work, and they are not allowed to wander around in normal times, and more than two-thirds of the area on the fifth floor is private territory." ”

"It's a lot of pie, so what should we do, is the place we want to go far away, can we walk over?" The electronic sheep muttered.

"Don't worry, our company has some vehicles parked in the parking lot of the station, which can be used by employees, and you can just drive there." Qiu Mingdao.

Then the three of them took the elevator down to the parking lot, Qiu Ming opened the bracelet, turned on the car call mode, and half a minute later, a silver-gray sedan left his parking space and drove in front of the three.

Qiu Ming opened the car door and made a gesture of please, and the electronic sheep got into the car first, followed by Qiu Ming, and finally Zhang Heng sat in the passenger seat.

"It's rare to come here, do you want to simply visit the scenery of the fifth floor?" Qiu Ming asked while adjusting the front and rear mirrors.

"No, just take us to Xu Qian, don't play any more tricks." The e-sheep warned.

Qiu Ming glanced at the pistol Zhang Heng held at his waist, nodded and said, "You have the final say." ”

This is also the first time that the electronic sheep has come to the fifth layer of space, and it is false to say that he is not curious, but because all his attention is now focused on how to rescue Xu Qian, he is not in the mood to enjoy any more scenery along the way.

But even so, when Qiu Ming drove through the city, the electronic sheep still looked out the window a few times.

As a result, he was a little disappointed, like the station, the fifth floor was much more plain than he imagined, and he always felt that there was something missing on the street, at first the electronic sheep thought it was a pedestrian, but after a few more glances he suddenly realized that he was not comfortable feeling because he didn't see a billboard.

Whether it is the first or fourth floor, there are a lot of billboards on both sides of the street, large or small, different shapes, the stars and goods on it are also varied, electronic sheep as a science and technology enthusiast, usually take advantage of the event to discount related products, only the fifth layer, no advertising can be seen, the whole city is unusually clean, large white walls, but let the electronic sheep a little uncomfortable, just like walking on a wasteland.

As if knowing what he was thinking, Qiu Ming spoke, "It's not usually so lively here. ”

"Why?"

"Because when I work...... It is necessary to concentrate and avoid unnecessary associations. Qiu Ming said.

"Unnecessary associations? What are unnecessary associations. ”

Qiu Ming did not continue to answer this question, he drove the car up a scenic hillside, and saw a sign in the distance that private domain was forbidden to enter without an invitation.

Qiu Ming ignored the sign and continued to drive forward, and soon reached the first sentry post.

The electronic eye scanned his ID and work permit and happily released the car, so Qiu Ming continued to drive inside, and arrived at the second guard post three minutes later, this time not only Qiu Ming, but also Zhang Heng and the electronic sheep who were traveling with him also showed their work cards, and then they were released.

"You can see how annoying the system is, in fact the Monday meeting is a nightmare for me." Qiu Ming didn't forget to complain when he passed through the second sentry.

Then he drove the car directly up the hillside, there was a villa manor above, Qiu Ming did not stop, bypassed the villa, and continued to move forward until the terrain began to become flat, and began to go down again, the electronic sheep and Zhang Heng finally saw the destination of the trip.

In the valley at the back of the hillside stands a huge gray building, which has covered an area of more than ten airports, with a strange shape, looking like a giant ship ready to set sail in the wind, in addition to the other side of the mountain, there is a tunnel connected to this complex in the belly of the mountain, under the transparent tunnel roof, trucks are constantly coming and going, it looks extremely busy.

"What kind of place is this, a secret base hidden by the government? Or the Institute of Extraterrestrials. The electronic sheep asked.

"No, this is the real headquarters of Shengtang Morgan New Shanghai 0297." Qiu Ming said leisurely.
