I don't know how long I ran, but just when Liang Chu felt that he was about to run out of breath, Lu En in front of him suddenly stopped.

Certainly not to wait for her. He crouched down, picked up a stick on the side of the road, and examined it carefully. This kind of wooden stick didn't look strange, it was about a half-meter-long dead branch that was simply cut out, but Lu En held it in his hand at this time, and after looking at it for a while, he put it under his nose and sniffed it, and a smile actually appeared on Bingshan's face.

Liang Chu strangely stepped forward to take a look, the dirty peeled wooden stick, she didn't understand what there was to study, she gave up the idea of asking him, she just wanted to get out of this ghost place quickly.

Lu En put the wooden stick in the pocket of his sweater, and the two of them continued to walk forward for more than a mile, yes, this time with walking, because Lu En finally slowed down and began to look around, and from time to time he would stop and take a closer look at the side of the road, with a posture of losing something.

Liang Chu couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking for, do you want me to help?" ”

Ignoring her, Lu En continued to walk carefully along the foot of the wall and looked down.

After a while, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Liang Chu: "What do you want to do most now?" ”

Liang Chu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "What are you doing, of course it's going home!" After thinking about it, he made up again: "But it's too dirty here, you see I'm doing it, it would be better if I could find a place to take a shower and change clothes, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to go back to school like this, right?" ”

"Well, you're right." Lu En nodded, a flash of emotion flashed in his eyes, fleeting, and then continued to walk forward with a straight face.

What do you mean? Is it hard to ask? But this is in line with this guy's heartless personality, right? Liang Chu pursed his lips, basically didn't give any hope for taking a bath or anything, just begging this guy not to do anything unbelievable with himself, even Amitabha.

Go back, uncle! Now I just want to go back to school as soon as possible!

.

Suddenly, there was a voice in the distance: "Who is over there?" ”

Liang Chu was so frightened that he walked towards the two of them with lamps in the distance, and he couldn't see the description clearly against the light, he only knew that he was tall and strong, and he should be a heterotype.

She staggered slightly and dodged behind Lu En, although there was not much contact, but the aliens were very wary of pure humans, which at least she still knew.

Lu En immediately strode forward and shouted to the people in front of him, there were some local dialects that Liang Chu didn't understand, it seemed that these words had an effect, and the people in the distance shone their lights over to illuminate the road under their feet.

After the few people who walked to the front saw Liang Chu clearly, their expressions changed, obviously surprised that the human girl appeared in this place, and several people glanced at each other, looking at her with a strange look, full of defense.

Several people, dressed in uniform dark blue uniforms and air-filtering masks, appeared to be staff members here. Liang Chu dodged deeper behind Lu En, not knowing how to explain his appearance. Uh, accidentally dropped it while taking out the trash?

At this time, Lu En began to speak in tongues again, his tone was gentle and earnest, and he pointed at her from time to time, presumably explaining where she came from.

Those few people listened to his words, stretched out their heads to look at Liang Chu, and then at Lu En, with a look of disbelief.

Liang Chu blinked and watched him speak, he couldn't understand it anyway, and he could only observe his side face through the light.

I don't know if I don't see it, the lights have been dim before, and I didn't notice it, but at this moment, I saw that there were several bruises on Lu En's face, which was still visible, and I don't know how many were on my body.

As a surgeon, Liang Chu immediately instinctively reached out and stroked it: "Hey, your contusion here is obvious, have you rubbed the medicine?" Are those cops bothering you again? No wonder I haven't seen you these days! ”

If it was according to the original, Lu En would have avoided it a long time ago, and would have said something like not wanting her to be nosy. But this time, he didn't hide, but let Liang Chu touch the most obvious bruise above his jaw. It's just that the fingertips can feel the muscles of the entire face tense, and I can't see it on my face, only Liang Chu knows that it's because of forbearance.

When Liang Chu removed his hand, the attitude of the alien people towards the two of them was obviously eased a lot, and even a younger boy smiled at Lu En, said a word of blessing, and gave a word of advice, and then glanced at Liang Chu curiously, and smiled kindly.

Lu En took the two filter masks in the hands of the leader, thanked him, and led Liang Chu to stride forward.

After walking a few steps forward, he finally saw the exit, and he could see a wide square gate in the distance, with a bright and warm light shining from the door, and Liang Chu happily threw off Lu En and ran forward.

.

Entering the gate, the sight in front of me suddenly opened up - this is a huge underground hall, full of lively scenes, but it is not the crowded underground station, shopping mall or something as Liang Chu thought, not even the street - as far as the eye can see, there are hundreds of tall robotic arms are busy working, accurately sorting the full garbage conveyed on the conveyor belt in front of them.

Each garbage passage entrance is a large conveyor belt, with thousands of conveyor belts running side by side, stretching from the immediate eye to the end as far as the eye can see. On each bridge, there are several high platforms that span the conveyor belt like a covered bridge, and on each covered bridge sits one or two workers in uniform, and hundreds of robotic arms on both sides of the conveyor belt work in an orderly manner in front of the command.

The classification of robotic arms is very detailed, and it is not only non-reusable, but it is divided into many types of treatment methods - landfill fermentation, organic combustible, and instant treatment......

The classification of recyclable recycling should be more detailed, specific to which type of metal and which synthetic material it belongs to, and it must be divided into dozens of huge metal baskets, and then subdivided by the next sub-packaging workers.

In front of each big basket, there are many subdivided workers busy working.

Their specific job is to use the various sizes of machines in front of them to make a finer split of the objects in the basket, and each item has to be split into several different materials, classified into large and small baskets in front of each person, and then transported by the robot responsible for transportation, which is convenient for further refinement.

Tens of thousands, no, millions of people, are busy working with the machines here, and every link is accurate without a single error.

Coarse separation, disassembly, subdivision, transportation, as well as the washing, treatment, recycling and regeneration links that cannot be seen at present, constitute a huge underground factory, like an ancient Chinese legendary Pixiu, greedily swallowing the waste produced by the entire earth, and then consume it with all that is left.

Liang Chu saw such a grand collective operation scene for the first time, and couldn't help but be amazed.

In the past, we only knew that after the First World War, the earth's resources were scarce, and recycling was a very important part of resource protection. But really seeing such a delicate and huge resource recycling factory with her own eyes still had a big impact on her.

Lu En stepped forward and stood quietly not far from her, looking at the huge group of workers in front of her.

"Look, look, look! It's spectacular, it's just astounding! Liang Chu admired.

"Hmm." There was still no expression on his face, and there seemed to be sadness in his eyes.

"Wow, it turns out that so many people are silently doing these things for our earth, I really didn't expect them, they are so great!" Liang Chu continued to sigh.

"We're all low-class mongrels, shouldn't we do these things!" Luen replied coldly.

"Huh?" Liang Chu didn't react, and only after he reminded him to turn his head and take a closer look - sure enough, because the workers were wearing big filter masks and hats, they didn't pay attention just now, and now they found out that the workers here all have various colors of skin and hair color, both men and women, and their statures are taller than ordinary humans, it turns out that they are all mixed-race people!

"Uh......" Liang Chu didn't know how to answer, thought about it, and comforted himself to explain: "Work, it's just to make a living, and it doesn't seem to be anything expensive or cheap." Having said that, Liang Chu also knew that in this hierarchical society, this sentence was very unconvincing.

Lu En really sneered, "No noble? The workers here work 12 hours a day, and the daily wage is only 20 yuan, which is not enough for you to eat an organic bread. ”

Liang Chu opened his mouth, looked at Lu En's face, and couldn't say anything, he thought that he was already living in poverty, but he didn't expect that the hybrid people here were even more ......

"Surprised? Mind if I tell you again that my grandfather, aunt, cousin, cousin, and many other relatives live in this place, or something like that? Lu En chuckled a cold, even sad, smile and looked straight at Liang Chu.

"Oh." Liang Chu didn't know what to say at this time, comfort? Regretful? I guess no matter what expression I make, it will stab Lune's fragile and sensitive nerves, right?

Therefore, Liang Chu decided not to speak, and looked at Lu En directly.

Fortunately, Lu En was not ready to say anything sarcastic about her, and as soon as he finished speaking, he lifted his feet and continued to walk forward.

.

After walking for at least a mile, the two of them finally passed through the huge workshop and entered a long passage. In the passage, you can hear the rumbling sound of machinery next door, and imagine that there should be one processing and recycling workshop after another, in an orderly manner to process all kinds of garbage after sorting.

From time to time, when a staff member passes by, they will look at these two people curiously, and it should be said that Liang Chu behind Lu En is even more curious, his eyes are full of vigilance and incomprehension.

From time to time, someone would come up and ask, and Lu would explain to the other person, and then point to the embedded phone with identification on his wrist. After listening to his words, the other party was without exception, and wanted to stare at Liang Chu behind him in disbelief, at this time, she cooperated honestly and pulled Lu En's cuffs, and looked at him pitifully.

After the passage was completed, the exit gate was finally released. Liang Chu raised his head, and the scene in front of him suddenly opened up, like another world.

Behind him is a huge and dull factory, and the scene in front of him can only be described by the word lively-

Although it is already late at night on the ground, there is a city that never sleeps without day and no night!

The wide streets, the crowds of people coming and going, and the dense crowd of high-rise buildings, most of which have about 80 to 100 floors, are painted in a variety of colors and styles. From afar, the high-rise buildings are about to rise to the top of the dungeon, and for the convenience of residents on the middle floors, each building is connected by wide roads, forming a vast air traffic network.

The streets on the ground are brightly lit, and even the street lamps are colorful, which makes people's eyes dazzled.

But if you look closely, all the streets and buildings look old and dilapidated, there are no green spaces, parks, trees and birds in the city, and the municipal administration looks disorganized, and there are all kinds of graffiti on the roads. The population is very dense, the vehicles and people are mixed, and the hustle and bustle is more than the city.

The city is weird and lively, and in the eyes of Liang Chu, who has just arrived, it is completely another exotic city with a different style!

"Hey—Lune!" She hurried a few steps to catch up with him, "Where is this?" It's funny, how come I've never heard of it before? ”

Lune turned his head and looked at her in a sarcastic tone—"Miss Human, welcome to the world of the Hybrids—Sleepless City!" ”
