After waiting for a long time, I saw Lu En come out of the bathhouse, change his clothes, still a black sweatshirt, and carry a shopping bag in his hand.

Liang Chu waited impatiently, and stepped forward to taunt him: "Yo, do you still know where the gate is heading?" I thought you were going to open a room and stay there! ”

Lu En gave her a blank look: "Don't want to wait? Then just go back by yourself, did I invite you here? ”

This guy! She replied unconvinced: "I don't know who told me to stand here and not move, I knew that I would go shopping by myself!" ”

"You're welcome!"

Bastard! I know that I can't move an inch here, and I still say this! Liang Chu turned around and left. Coldly, a bag hit her head, she subconsciously caught it, opened the shopping bag and saw that it was a girl's dark blue hooded cape and skirt of the same color.

Even if this guy has a little conscience, the unhappiness in her heart suddenly disappeared again, she took out her clothes with a smile, found a public bathroom, took off the sweatshirt that Lu En gave her before, and changed into clothes and skirts.

It's a bit big to wear, it is estimated that he bought it indiscriminately, but it has to be changed, and the big cloak is just enough to cover Liang Chu's black hair and face.

The previous sweatshirt was returned to Luen in his pocket, and Luen took it and continued to carry it in his hand. It seems that he is still reluctant to throw it, but he is really a stingy guy, and he obviously earns more money than himself!

Thinking of the way he made money, she sank again, and while following him forward, she asked him without words: "Hey, have you finished your business?" Do you want to go back? ”

"You know I'm on an errand?" Lune turned his head to look at her.

"Of course, otherwise why are you so bored, slide and be a detective, go in and find out nothing?" She felt that she was so clever that she looked at him a little proudly.

Who knew that Lu En didn't look surprised at all, and replied to her lukewarmly: "I know that it's still holding me back!" ”

"Who is holding you back, unconscionable fellow!" Liang Chu muttered in disappointment.

But what this guy said today is more than the sum of the more than half a year of knowing each other, right? Liang Chu thought, it seems that he doesn't hate himself so much, right? But it's hard to say, I'm afraid I'll look dead again when I go back.

Thinking all the way, Liang Chu was not a person of many words, the two walked silently for a while, and then took an old-fashioned bus that has long been extinct in human cities, of course, the car money can only be paid by Lu En with his mobile phone, because Liang Chu does not have the currency here.

After paying, Lu En said without surprise: "You owe me a total of 105 coins." "Obviously included money for clothes.

Cheapskate! Liang Chu gritted his teeth and replied to him: "I'll pay you back when I go back, don't worry!" ”

After getting off the bus, there was a tall, bright arched gate in front of him, and inside the door was a long pure white passage, Liang Chu knew that this was the security channel, and the end of the passage should be some kind of transportation back to the ground.

As soon as the two of them walked into the passage, the yellow lights flashed in the passage, and all the lights hit Luen, and at the same time, the sound of rapid music sounded.

Behind them, a mixed-breed couple who also looked like they were going to the ground looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just a third-level alert." Boy, you don't have a visa to go to the first world, do you? ”

She looked at the mixed-race couple with a blank expression, First World? What to do? So why are you okay?

Lu En pursed his lips, looked at Liang Chu and said, "I thought I wouldn't have to be so troublesome with you." ”

"Oh, I don't understand either!" Liang Chu turned around and asked her, "He's my classmate, studying at the university above, can't he go?" The orange-skinned mixed lady smiled and said, "No, miss, you can come and go as you please, but we can't." You have to apply for a visa every time you enter and exit, and you can't go up at will without a proper reason. ”

Lu En snorted: "Didn't you say that there is such a person to go together, you don't need to find a reason?" ”

What is this kind of person? Liang Chu glared at him fiercely, Uncle He, didn't you think about how to go up before you came down? If it weren't for me...... Hum!

The lady patiently explained, "It's a lot more convenient." Well, next door is the visa hall, as long as she vouches for you, it will be done quickly. ”

After thanking the two, Liang Chu followed Lu En out of the passage and came to the certificate hall. There weren't many people in the hall, only a few hybrids lined up. The two visa officers are humans, and they are impatient to refuse visas to the two people in front of them.

Liang Chu stood aside and waited for a while, it seemed that the people in front of him were in a hurry and still entangled, and the visa officer was selfless and had no intention of letting him go. At this time, it was almost dawn above, and there was no reason to disappear, if Instructor Owen knew...... I can't help but shudder when I think about it, I don't know how to be punished by the most fierce instructor in history!

She walked to the front of the line with an apologetic face, saying sorry to the few people in the queue while nodding and smiling at the short, stocky visa officer in a crisp uniform inside the glass wall.

Seeing that it was a human girl, the visa officer was slightly surprised, and then took the initiative to speak: "Type A humans don't need a visa, miss, you just go in." "The mouth temperature is a lot.

"Not really!" She continued to say politely: "It's my friend, he's with me, you see, can you open the net?" After speaking, he pointed to Lu En, who was standing far behind him.

was nervous, for fear of being rejected by the visa officer, who didn't seem to be easy to speak, so he saw the visa officer push an electronic signature book over: "Okay, miss, as long as you are willing to sign and vouch for him." Here, please press your genetic signature. After speaking, he pointed to the signature below.

Liang Chu hurriedly stretched out the ring and pressed it, "drop", and the signature book issued a gentle female voice: "Guarantor Liang Chu, A200+ type, the signature is complete." Please sign the sponsor. ”

The visa officer looked at Liang Chu in surprise, "Miss, are you here to travel?" Could it be that there is something interesting here? Without waiting for her to speak, Lu En strode over and pressed the signature position, and the visa was announced.

Facing the strange eyes in the hall, Liang Chu and Lu En, who didn't seem to be a match at all, walked out of the door one after the other and returned to the white passage just now.

The soft white light shone on the two of them, and there were no more lights and sirens from just now.

She breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to say something jokingly, but when she turned her head to look at the boy beside her with a face like an ice sculpture, she swallowed, okay, this guy with a lot of self-esteem, don't provoke him.

At the end of the passage is a wide airport waiting hall, with souvenir shops, cafes, and rest areas near and far, but the rest areas for humans and mixed people are clearly separated.

Lu En couldn't get in, and of course he didn't bother to follow Liang Chu in, waving his hand was a farewell. Then walk towards the small lounge. Liang Chu said goodbye to him briefly, and then walked to the rest area on the other side.

There are very few passengers, no, it should be said that there are almost no people. Only one human uncle, who seemed to have come on a business trip, sat in the free teahouse. While drinking tea, he looked down at the display on the table.

Liang Chu also sat down in the teahouse, the food was not cheap, she ordered a glass of juice on the desktop screen to satisfy her hunger, and soon a robot delivered the orange juice.

While drinking juice, she took out the folded e-book from her pocket and read the exercises, but it was also quiet and relaxed.

After sitting for a while, the voice prompt on the desktop prompted: "Miss Liang Chu, the elevator has arrived, please go to the No. 2 entrance." ”

She grabbed the juice she hadn't finished drinking, followed the uncle, and walked towards the No. 2 entrance not far away.

It is said to be a lift, but it is actually much more spacious than ordinary elevators, and it looks more like a large square cargo box. Inside, there are two rows of wide seats that can be rotated, and the walls on all four sides are displays, showing different images, including movies, cartoons, news, and so on. It's also available for voice on demand, if the people around you don't mind changing channels, of course.

Liang Chu randomly picked a seat at the door and sat down, and the metal seat belt immediately ejected from the shoulders and thighs, and then automatically buckled up. After confirming that both of them were seated, a gentle female voice sounded on the electronic screen: "Dear lady and gentleman, welcome to this vacuum elevator to the first world, this operation is expected to take 15 minutes, I wish you a happy journey!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I felt a slight vibration, and instantly a feeling of pushing my back came, but fortunately the seat belt was very firm.

This feeling only lasted for a few seconds, and then it turned into a uniform ascension, and she didn't feel that she was in the cage that was rising at a high speed, and she relaxed her body slightly.

The uncle next door turned his head and asked her with a smile, "Is it the first time the girl has come here?" ”

"yes, it's my first time here, and it's quite interesting." Liang Chu also replied to the thin middle-aged uncle with a smile.

"Interesting?" The uncle raised an eyebrow, "You won't think like that if you come a few more times." ”

Anyway, that's what I think about at the moment, and who knows if there will be a chance to come again in the future. Liang Chu smiled and changed the subject: "What kind of place is this, it's all mixed, and there are no humans?" ”

The uncle looked at her in surprise: "You came here without doing your homework beforehand?" Girl, you're really daring! ”

Liang Chu smiled embarrassedly, as if he was quite bold, if he told his uncle how he came down, he would definitely scare him, right?

The uncle kindly explained: "Don't come here if it's okay in the future, it's not peaceful here for humans, this is the third world!" However, everyone is used to calling it the city that never sleeps. ”

"The Third World, the City That Never Sleeps?"

Uncle nodded. "Yes, this is the underground city that was fully funded by Dongyuan Group several decades ago - the city that never sleeps!

The total area of the entire city that never sleeps is very large, and the underground of Eurasia is dotted with such underground cities, and we are only one of the districts.

These dark places are inhabited by mixed-race people. They don't have land, they don't allow them to mix with us humans, and they can only do some work here that humans don't want to do. Those who can get jobs are already considered lucky, and many people do not even have the opportunity to work, and live on very low assistance. ”

"Oh." Liang Chu had already roughly understood, and still asked puzzledly: "Why can't the government provide them with some better job opportunities, so that these people can live a better life on their own?" ”

The uncle laughed: "Girl, what you said! Think about it, if these people are better educated and have more social resources, then you say, if in the next fifteen years of martial law, half of their bodies are heterogeneous blood, and those of the same kind come, what will happen to us human beings? ”

Liang Chu nodded knowingly, and continued to ask: "However, does the work of picking up garbage also require so many people?" Robots can be replaced a long time ago, right? ”

"It's not just picking up trash, there's a lot of work here that isn't necessary. Robots have long been able to replace tedious manual labor. ”

"That?"

The uncle continued to explain patiently, "But have you ever thought about what will happen to these hybrids if they lose their jobs?" Is it all about government bailouts? It's not that our government can't afford it, it's—"

The uncle thought for a while and continued: "If a group of people, a group of people with labor, you let him not work but just eat and drink, then where will he vent his excess energy? Will his social attributes be lost? Will his sense of existence and gain be missing?

Especially such a group of people whose ability and intelligence are by no means inferior to our human beings, once they are allowed to do nothing, is it time for us humans to have something to do? ”

Liang Chu suddenly realized, "So, the people here look very tired and running around every day for a living, but it is this sense of exhaustion and the lack of means of living that makes them work harder and be more easily driven by humans, right?" ”

"Shhhh ”

Liang Chu laughed embarrassedly, just as the destination was approaching, she rolled up the e-book in her hand and stood up.
