It's the same dream again, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, a man who was blown off by his waist, and a muttered whisper.

Zhou Zhi's vision was blood-red, and he wanted to distinguish those lip words, but before he could see them clearly, the firelight engulfed the ruins in front of him, and a body threw him to the ground, and a hot wave of heat hit...

"Hayes!"

Zhou Zhen screamed to wake up, the surroundings were empty, the lights of Tongyou Street were dim, and several drunks who had just come out of the bar laughed loudly around him.

It seems that Natasha really does what she says, and when she leaves the bedroom, she says that she doesn't want to sleep with dead people, and she really sleeps on the streets.

He got up and patted the dust, looked back, not far behind him, the neon lights of Du Kang's wine shop were still on, and after thinking about it, he didn't bother her, turned around and walked towards the center of the second floor of the city.

In the central tree-like part of the city's tree-like structure, there are more than a dozen giant elevators that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, two up to the tenth floor are powered by nuclear power for the exclusive use of Shennong Group, and the rest of the elevators are driven by a large number of manpower in the power factory with mechanical transmissions.

The human elevator will not be started if it does not reach 100 people, because it is early in the morning, Zhou Zhen waited for two hours to return to the hotel room on the third floor, took a shower, shaved off his beard, he stuffed his jeans and riding boots into a garbage bag, these are all handmade, an employee who has just finished the internship can never afford it, and then he changed into 3D printed free goods, still wearing a T-shirt from the armor squirrel company on his upper body, and carrying a shoulder bag that does not leave his body.

Leaving the hotel, Zhou Zhen found a remote garbage room and threw away the garbage bag, and at the same time smashed his portable terminal and energy card and threw it away.

...

Although most of them do not have any shares in the Shennong Group and still have to return to their low-rise cramped homes after work, they all seem to have the illusion that they are the superior people of the city, or even the owners of the city.

Zhou Zhen didn't dislike them, after all, after living for so many years, all the sharp pride was just young and frivolous in his opinion.

A28 10 floors, the canopy, and any of the lower floors of the scenery is completely different, high-rise buildings, trams shuttle in between, soilless cultivation of plants and flowers on both sides of the street, no shadow of the energy crisis can be seen at all, the outside of the canopy is wrapped by oxygen-rich film, solving the air problem caused by high altitude.

After taking three trams, Zhou Zhen came to the headquarters of Shennong Group, which is a real towering building, entering the lobby on the first floor, the first thing he saw was the propaganda wall connected to the ceiling, and the upper part of the wall was engraved: "If you don't create value for the society, you don't deserve to occupy social resources." ”

The bottom half is a huge pair of Chinese calligraphy written in gold letters: "Forget the historical merits (all-round crops, the era of abundance), and remember energy conservation and environmental protection." "The signature is the chairman of Shennong Group, Jiang Xuanyuan.

Zhou Zhen felt that he was shocked, and it was the first time he saw a calligraphy work with brackets.

"Squirrel Boy, are you learning about our corporate culture?"

A milky voice sounded in his ears, and at the same time, Zhou Zhi felt that his waist was poked, and he instinctively jumped away.

"Ha, the armored rat kid is not afraid of death, he is afraid of itching!"

Zhou Zhen frowned and looked over, and an Asian girl with a double ponytail was tilting her head to look at him.

The girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a black professional dress and high heels that did not match her age, the buttons of the suit were cartoon dolls, and the ponytail was also tied with a fluffy doll.

"You're Zhong Xiaoguang, the squirrel boy who came for the interview?"

The girl pointed to his T-shirt with the logo of the armored mouse, and Zhou Zhi nodded suspiciously.

"My name is Amiko, your interviewer."

A small hand with a pink rubber rope reached out in front of Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhen was stunned, interviewer? Does Shennong Group incorporate a sense of humor into employee performance appraisal?

"Hey, my paws are sore."

Amiko pouted and complained, and Zhou Zhen remembered that he should shake hands with her, so he stretched out his hand, but before he touched her fingertips, the hand brushed the ground back.

"Hey, don't shake my claws, I'll put on your shoes later."

Amiko turned around as she spoke, raising her hand in the air.

"Let's go, Kid Armor, let's get an interview."

The security department is on the negative floor of the building, the corridor is very wide, and now it is just time to go to work, dozens of employees stand on both sides of the corridor, and when Amiko passes in front of them, the employees will bow deeply, and then leave to do their own things, Zhou Zhi followed behind Amiko, with a demented expression throughout the whole process, what is this, a group of adults accompany her to run a family wine?

The interview took place in Amiko's office, a small room with nothing but dolls and comic books on the floor, a set of tatami mats, and a low table covered with colorful tablecloths.

"Squirrel Boy, do you want to drink marbles?"

Amiko took out two colored glass bottles from under the low table, knocked on the table and asked, Zhou Zhen picked up the glass bottle and shook it, and put it back, it's not surprising that Shennong Group can produce soda, but now that the energy is exhausted, there is still a factory that can produce marbles?

"No need... Thank you. ”

"Then let's start the interview."

Amiko pursed her lips and pushed a form and a pen in front of Zhou Zhi, Zhou Zhen was just about to reach out for the pen, but Amiko raised the pen with her fingers, making Zhou Zhen pounce again.

Zhou Zhen smiled awkwardly, and reached into his shoulder bag with his right hand to rummage: "I seem to have brought..."

"The Armored Squirrel Kid is really boring."

Amiko turned the pen and snorted, not paying attention for a moment, Zhou Zhen suddenly reached out with her left hand and snatched the pen from her hand.

Amiko was startled by his sudden attack, and was about to lose her temper with her eyes, Zhou Zhen smiled and stretched out her right hand in front of her, spreading out her palm, and there were two fruit candies inside: "I mean brought this." ”

Amiko was stunned for a moment, her face turned from anger to joy, she picked up the candy and put it in her mouth, clapped her hands and smiled: "Hahahaha, Xiao Zhong is very good." ”

Zhou Zhen also smiled for a while, then looked at his watch and said: "I won the award, but I'm here for an interview, not to coax a child, no matter which leader of the group you are, now that the interview time has passed, can you ask the real interviewer to come out?" ”

"Haha, doesn't Xiao Zhong believe me?"

Amiko took out a business card from her pocket and threw it over, Zhou Zhen took it and looked at it, the business card was printed:

"Amiko. Bernard, Chief of the Security Section of the Shennong Group Headquarters. ”

"You're Miss Bernard? General Bernard's..."

Zhou Zhen asked in surprise, and Amiko nodded: "Yes, my father is the leader of the gangs in this area." ”

"So, the A28 defensive battle twenty years ago..."

Zhou Zhen remembered an old news twenty years ago, General Bernard personally led a large number of bandit cavalry to raid A28, and when he camped halfway, he encountered a night attack by the Enterprise Alliance, and was beaten with heavy casualties, General Bernard was seriously injured, and the bandits have been in a state of collapse since then, and they are no longer able to organize a large-scale offensive.

After the war, it was rumored that the reason why the night attack went so smoothly was because General Bernard's own daughter had turned against the water before the war and joined the Enterprise Alliance, and she knew General Bernard's plans and deployments well.

Amiko poured a big sip of soda and burped nonchalantly: "Hiccup, do you know that one too?" I led someone to beat me and beat my father. ”

Zhou Zhen felt that he might be old, it was twenty years ago, and the Amiko in front of him should not have been born yet, could it be that she also has a parasitic system?

Seeing his suspicious look, Amiko put down the soda bottle and asked, "Is Xiao Zhong saying how can I be so young?" ”

Zhou Zhen nodded, Amiko lay on the low table, put her face in front of him, and lowered her voice mysteriously: "This is a secret, those who know will die, Hiccup..."

Zhou Zhen leaned back, avoiding the smell of soda she squirted: "Oh, then I won't ask, it's not surprising, my boss Zhou Zhen is over seventy years old, and he looks like he is twenty or thirty years old." ”

Hearing Zhou Zhen's name, Amiko laughed again: "Ha, you don't know your boss too well, he is a person with a parasitic system, the government made eighteen parasitic systems with different functions, and named them all, your boss's name is 'Changsheng', isn't the government so cute?" Name the electronic device, hahaha. ”

It was the first time that Zhou Zhen had heard that his parasitic system had a name, and it was the first time he heard that there were six other sets of such parasitic systems, he pretended to have a suddenly realized expression, and accompanied Amiko and laughed: "Oh, Changsheng, no wonder he is not old, then you have always been so young and cute because of that system?" ”

Amiko sat back on the tatami mat and waved her hand while laughing: "I do have a parasitic system, my father gave it to me, the name is even funnier, hahaha, it's called 'saber', but it's different from his function, it can't keep me young, I'm so young because..."

Halfway through speaking, Amiko suddenly stopped talking: "Ha, Xiao Zhong, you are very smart, you almost tricked me into telling the secret." ”

Zhou Zhen shook his head again and again: "Where did I lie to you, you are all pouring out by yourself." ”

"Stop, stop, let's get down to business."

Amiko made a pause gesture for herself, and looked at Zhou Zhen with her cheeks for a while: "Well, sure enough, energy hunters have a bit of game, unlike those little brothers under me, all of them are like dolls, boring." ”

Then she grabbed a doll and smashed it at Zhou Zhen: "Xiao Zhong, I think you have a very good appetite for me, you have been hired, fill out the form and go to the personnel department to register." ”

"Huh? That's it? You don't test my level of expertise? Don't ask me why I want to change jobs? ”

Zhou Zhen scratched his head and asked, where is this like interviewing a security officer, it is completely a recruitment of burlesque actors.

"I don't care at all, it's because the group has requirements for the number of people in the security department, as for who to recruit, I just like it."

Amiko said as she took a big sip of marble: "Hiccup, if there are really bad people, I don't expect you, I and the 'saber' can deal with it." ”

Zhou Zhen secretly complained in his heart, if it is really like what Amiko said, then his position is just a playmate, God knows when he will be able to contact Jiro Oshima, and although Amiko is naïve on the surface, she is actually a ruthless character, who can independently maintain the security of A28 City for twenty years, and with the assistance of another parasitic system, it may become an obstacle to the assassination operation.

Before leaving, Zhou Zhen asked again: "By the way, Miss Bernard, how did you know that Zhou Zhen has a parasitic system?" ”

Amiko pursed her lips again, and her tone became a little regretful: "I know a lot about Zhou Zhen, I ran away from home when I originally wanted to be an energy hunter and pull him off the rankings. ”

She said and sighed: "It's a pity that I don't know the road, I was going to A21, but I went to A28, met someone from Shennong Group, lied to me and said that I would be an energy hunter if I helped them beat my father, but as a result, I was forced to give me a security chief, which is really boring." ”

Thinking that General Bernard defeated Maicheng back then, it was because of his daughter's momentary idiocy, Zhou Zhen really didn't hold back, and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

Amiko picked up the empty soda bottle and was about to smash it, but Zhou Zhen hurriedly covered his face with his hands and explained: "No, no, Zhou Zhen usually treats me badly, I hate him very much, and I thought that he was dead, so I couldn't hold back my joy for a while." ”

"What do you say? Zhou Zhen is dead? ”

Amiko asked in surprise, and Zhou Zhi nodded: "You can check the ID database, you should have this permission." ”

With a "bang", the soda bottle shattered into glass slag in Amiko's hand, and a marble fell on the low table, jumped a few times, and rolled down to Zhou's feet.
