Chapter 11 The Five Rings of the City
didn't fight, Jiang Bai was relieved, turned around and walked into the exit.
This is a passage full of silver-white technological texture, and the moment Jiang Bai entered, he could see that a lot of data appeared on the electronic screen on the wall.
Obviously, that's all the information about my current body.
If anomalous information is detected, an alert is issued.
And there is no such thing as a very fortunate or reasonable, expensive instrument that can detect changes in the soul.
So the same body is now replaced by a soul anomaly, which has not been detected by the instrument.
When I went outside, I saw that the zoo team, all dressed in civilian clothes, was waiting outside, and when they were in the car, they all changed out of their combat uniforms and stayed in the car.
The car needs time to be fully inspected, and they can't get it for the time being.
Entering the familiar city, it can be seen that several people have a little smile on their faces.
For them, the operation couldn't have been more perfect.
Except for the Black Hawk.
This cold middle-cut handsome guy has always kept a stinky face and maintained his high coldness.
At this moment, watching Jiang Bai and the leopard behind him come out, the big bald head walked in front of Jiang Bai.
"Jiang Bai, this is the city, and there are cameras in many places, so we can't send you. Be careful on the way back, and contact Skynet if you have something. ”
This is agreed upon by everyone in the car.
After entering the city, Jiang Bai was still called Jiang Bai.
And in order to cover Jiang Bai's identity, they will not show too close contact with Jiang Bai.
A friend who has met on a wilderness mission together is a very reasonable relationship.
Wave your hand and say goodbye to them.
Standing behind the cat, the parrot squeezed its nose at Jiang Bai and pointed to the personal terminal fixed on his wrist, and also nodded at Jiang Bai, as if to say that he had passed something to Jiang Bai.
Then, they dispersed from each other.
……
The city is divided into five rings, and the inner third ring is a wealthy area, which is a real city.
The zoo team lives in the Fifth Ring Road, the most chaotic place in the city, and the main place where these lowly but unwilling mercenaries are active.
The street that comes out of the entrance and exit of the city is already considered to be the category of the Fifth Ring Road.
And Jiang Bai lives in the Fourth Ring Road, which is where some ordinary people who have neither identity nor motivation to struggle live.
There is a considerable physical distance between the four and five rings.
Today, on the artificial dome, the light is slowly starting to dim.
In less than an hour, it will be completely dark.
Thinking of the "rats" who haunted the narrow roads in the Fourth Ring Road in the dark in his memory, Jiang Bai shook his body.
Not only is the wilderness dangerous, but the night of the city's fourth and fifth ring roads is not completely calm.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bai silently quickened his pace.
On the way, the scenery of the city's five rings comes into view.
If the tone of the inner three rings is silver, it is full of vitality and a sense of technology.
The main color of the four rings is black, which symbolizes crowding and laziness.
Then the main color of the five rings is gray, which symbolizes practicality and chaos.
On both sides of the street, buildings of different styles outline a completely different attitude to life.
There are majestic small buildings with high walls and thick bricks, there are also a cozy nest covered by simple iron sheets, and there are some homeless people who use cars as their homes.
Heavy carts rumbled through the streets, and the speeding locomotives brought out a trail of black smoke.
A woman with a silver prosthetic leg and a revealing dress stood on a street corner smoking a lonely cigarette, and a hunk man with a large body with strange mutated limbs was rampaging on the side of the road.
A woman with heavy makeup whose right hand was replaced by a hook sickle even used her hook sickle to pick Jiang Bai's pants when she passed by Jiang Bai.
If he accepts her invitation, Xiao Jiangbai may be able to eat meat tonight.
However, considering that this body was not yet an adult, Jiang Bai ran away without looking back, and heard a burst of laughter from behind him.
This is the Five Rings.
The rule of law coexists with fists.
To a certain extent, people accept the jurisdiction of the city, but in many cases, the flexibility of the legal system cannot solve all disputes between people.
Fists aren't everything here, but having them can at least make people listen to you.
A very different ecology from the inner third ring.
Of course, Jiang Bai knew all this.
Unlike the children in the slums who can't step into the inner third ring for the rest of their lives, Jiang Bai is lucky.
The college he attended was in the Second Ring Road, and when he was in school normally, he would walk through the city of the Inner Third Ring Road every day and witness the completely different scenery between the Inner Third Ring Road and the Fourth Ring Road.
In the midst of this gap witnessed every day, there are some strange thoughts in the hearts of ordinary people.
In fact, the children who were lucky enough to get out of the slums were almost all carved out of the same mold.
They want to climb up and climb within the third ring road.
Climb to that place where humans can truly be called human.
However, it was difficult for Jiang Bai to know the original body's intentions.
He inherited the memories of the other party, but he did not inherit the feelings and thoughts of the other party when these memories occurred.
From another point of view, Jiang Bai just watched a movie that belonged to the original body from a first-person perspective.
And the practice is often not equal to the idea in the heart.
One last glance at the gray fifth ring, Jiang Bai walked into the subway station.
The subway station, which has inherited the name of the former era, is not much different in terms of function.
It's just that it's more brutal and rigid.
You can only get on and off in fixed and few places, and most of them are inaccessible.
The largest flow of people between the 4th and 5th Ring Roads is carried out through six subway stations that are equally distributed throughout the circular city.
Perhaps the only thing they have is that they are fast and they are free.
Jiang Bai fixed himself to the bulkhead where the epidermis had peeled off, revealing a black metal texture.
As the hatch closed, the graffiti on the inner walls faded into the darkness.
The subway is free, and the rider's experience is not considered.
With a "buzz", the subway starts.
The whole carriage was like a piece of tin tube moving in a closed pipe, making a clattering and grinding sound.
……
As soon as he got out of the car, Jiang Bai leaned on the lamppost on the side of the road to relieve his dizziness.
The streetlamp emits a soft orange light, illuminating this strange soul below.
After relieving for a while, Jiang Bai recovered from that state of nausea and retching.
"Hoo ......"
Jiang Bai looked up at the dome that had not yet completely darkened, and walked towards the home in his memory.
Six subway stations, naturally, cannot send exits to every part of the Fourth Ring Road.
Jiang Bai's home is in the 4D area, and it takes about half an hour to walk after coming out of the subway exit.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Jiang Bai walked quickly into the darkness.
The fourth and fifth rings and the inner third ring are completely different scenes.
In the Fourth Ring City, except for the main roads such as the exit of the subway station, there are no street lights in the paths divided by countless towering archways.
Of course, there are secondary roads that are responsible for network communication, but they have long been abandoned due to disrepair and have lost their function as street lights.
At night, much of the entire Fourth Ring Road is plunged into darkness.
Jiang Bai didn't want to go home for the first time, just go back in the dark.
Even though he is full of curiosity and excitement about the current era......
