The scene outside the window was receding, but the people traveling with the car were as still as water.

Lu Yun, who was born in the suburbs, had never actually ridden a vehicle as a tool, and the experience it brought him was really novel, especially when it was speeding at a speed that ordinary people would never have.

And Xiang Yan and the others are the same, they are all lying on the window of the back seat of the truck, looking at the scenery that is passing by quickly, at this moment, they have unloaded the excessive precociousness of the children in the southern district, revealing a look similar to their age.

The only thing that didn't fluctuate was Lu Yun's mother, Bai Wenlan, who seemed to be used to riding in a car, and she didn't have any curiosity or amazement.

"Mom, have you ever been in a car before?"

His mother originally lived further south, but Lu Yun's father met her by chance at a transportation job, and fell in love at first sight, and after a short period of love, they got married.

Later, there was Lu Yun, after his father had a small savings at work, he took their mother and son to the N (14) area, and the home where Lu Yun grew up was bought by his father not long after he was born.

Over the years, Lu Yun hasn't talked much about the past with his mother, because he vaguely remembers that when he was a child, he inadvertently mentioned his father once, and his mother, who originally loved to laugh, was silent all night.

Therefore, later there was a topic about his mother's past and father, but Lu Yun deliberately avoided it.

This time, somehow, Lu Yun asked this sentence directly, and when he said it, he realized that he might not have asked this, because his father used to work in transportation between the city and the suburbs, and his mother may have been in the car a few times at that time.

"Well, I've sat down a few times."

Bai Wenlan looked very nostalgic, but she didn't mean to say more, so Lu Yun didn't ask any more.

Soon, the van was on the road.

Connecting the suburbs and spreading to the ruins, this endless highway does not start in the suburbs, and the urban area has the same roads as the suburbs.

It's just that Lu Yun doesn't know, does the precautions for this highway at night have to be observed at night in the urban area?

Aether-powered vehicles are much faster than they were before the war, and they are noiseless and pollution-free, but because of the high cost and scarcity of materials, the suburbs generally don't waste them to make cars.

Lu Yun is sure that there is no pollution, but whether this is much faster than the car before the war Lu Yun doesn't know, the only thing he can confirm is that this four-wheeled machine is indeed much faster than people.

Within a few minutes, the truck drove to the "suburban line".

Although the suburban line is called a line, it is not actually a flat straight line drawn on the ground, or on the contrary, it is actually a huge partition wall that separates the suburbs from the urban area, so high that it almost reaches the sky.

This massive partition wall existed when the settlement was first established, and at that time there was not even a suburban urban area, and it was not known what the Aether Corporation was building it for.

It was only later that everyone regarded it as the dividing line between the city and the suburbs, and the name suburban line was born.

Nowadays, not many people are willing to delve into the true intent of its construction, and for many suburbanites, it is nothing more than a wall of ascension that they want to cross until they die.

Although the suburban line is high, it magically does not form a shadow, which is why the Ether Tower, located in the Ethereum Corporation, can illuminate the entire residential area regardless of the suburbs.

The main function of the suburban line is now to block the suburbanites who want to smuggle into the urban area, and at the same time, it also obscures the view of both sides, the urban area cannot see the suburbs, and the suburbs cannot see the urban area.

Most of the time, it changes its color and appearance according to the environment, so that its presence is not obtrusive, in fact, most people will forget its existence if they don't look at it deliberately.

And the place where Lu Yun's truck is now driving is the only entrance and exit on the suburban line that connects the city and the suburbs, the suburban point.

At the intersection of the suburban line and the highway, there is a passage tunnel about 100 meters long and nearly 10 meters high, which passes through the urban area, and Lu Yun also walked from here when he came back from the interview the day before yesterday.

At the entrance of the suburban point, several guards dressed as Aether companies with guns saw that it was a truck with the company's logo coming, so they directly gave up their positions.

If you are not a member of the company, you must also have a pass with a wrist tag from the guard, and you are strictly limited to the length of time you can stay, as is the case in suburban cities.

Lu Yun had been posted a 24-hour pass before, and he originally thought that he would have time to go around after the interview, but the people in the city didn't seem to welcome suburbanites like him, so Lu Yun came back directly.

Thinking of this, Lu Yun couldn't help but worry, after his mother moved to the city, would she really be able to adapt to life over there?

Without slowing down, the truck drove past the outskirts of the city, and after a period of darkness, the view of the city appeared in the blazing white light of the Tower of Aether.

Buildings hundreds of meters above have created an endless steel forest, and vehicles of different shapes and two- and three-wheeled means of transportation that Lu Yun has never seen before pass through the streets next to the highway.

Looking up, there are also stairs between the tall buildings, and some machines flying in the air hang banners, writing advertisements and other information about various products.

And in the extreme distance, at the end of the residential area, there is a huge tower more than a kilometer long, the Aether Tower, and the dazzling light from its top shines on the entire residential area.

The greenery that is barely seen in the suburbs is also planted in large areas along the roads and streets.

The pedestrians on the road, without exception, were all dressed decently and neatly, their white and tender skin had not experienced any wind and rain at first glance, and some of them were holding food and drinks in their hands that Lu Yun had never seen before.

Obviously, this is only the M(13) area, which is the poorest and most dilapidated area in the city, but it has surpassed the richest and most luxurious appearance that ordinary suburbanites can imagine.

Separated by a wall, it's like, no, it's two worlds.

Lu Yun was shocked by the scene in front of him when he first came, he was stunned in place for a long time, knowing that the ridicule of the people in the city around him made him come back to his senses.

"Mr. Lu Yun, is your friend, another employee lady who joined this time, coming to the city for the first time?"

Huang Youliang asked Lu Yun in the front row.

"It should be... bar. ”

Only then did Lu Yun notice that Xiang Yan and her younger siblings had almost put their faces against the glass to look at the scenery outside.

For Xiang Yan, who has been living in the south, the scenery of the city is indeed incredible, and he is not qualified to say that their reaction is too exaggerated.

"The first time I came here, it was because it was a similar reaction."

Huang Youliang sounded very nostalgic.

"Enjoy the scenery in front of you, you will never see it in the suburbs."

Huang Youliang is indeed right, such a scenery will never be seen in the suburbs.

"There is still some time before Area A, please enjoy the scenery on the road during this period, if there is anything you want to know, you can also ask me, I know everything."

Lu Yun nodded silently and accepted Huang Youliang's enthusiasm, but now, he just wanted to take a good look at the scenery when he was embarrassed to look up under the ridicule of the people in the city when he came here last time.

Between the high-rise buildings, the truck was driving on the highway neither fast nor slow, and Lu Yun felt very small, like a drop in the ocean.

He couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to look down on the world from the top of these high-rise buildings in the city. And now who is looking down on him?

Are there any essential differences between the enterprises that govern the urban area and the organizations and the mutual aid associations?

Lu Yun didn't know, he planned to ask Huang Youliang about these questions later.

Now, let him, a visitor from the suburbs, take a good look at this completely different world.
