After arriving in Area A, according to the company's process, Huang Youliang first took Lu Yun's mother and Xiang Yan's younger siblings to the residence of the employee's family.

Employees like Lu Yun and Xiang Yan usually don't live in Zone A, and Ether has opened an internal single dormitory for each employee, who usually stays in the company except for vacations.

In Lu Yun's view, who already knows how the Ether company produces capacity, this is to prevent the post-war anomaly from affecting the outside world in a high-circulation environment.

However, this Area A really opened Lu Yun's eyes, he didn't look carefully when he came to the interview before, and Lu Yun found out that this area was different from all the previous areas.

There are so many machines and so few people on the road.

"Hello, employee Lu Yun's mother Bai Wenlan, employee Xiang Yan's younger brothers and sisters, Xiang Yu and Xiang Xue."

A cylindrical robot with a pure white body floating in the air flew over, and the black screen of its head was composed of blue light lines, giving the robot a human-like expression.

"Sister! Flying trash cans! ”

Xiang Xue pointed at the robot and exclaimed, but this description was really not polite, and Huang Youliang and Xiang Yan laughed directly next to them.

Bai Wenlan on the side directly stopped her fingers, not thinking of this robot as a machine at all.

"I'm not a trash can, I'm your butler AI, you can call me Sophia."

Sophia the robot said in a human-like tone, but the tone and voice still had a distinct machine flavor.

"This is your housekeeper robot, which will take care of your family's daily life here, and each employee family in Area A has its own housekeeper AI."

"Zone A is directly under the management of the company, and there are no urban or suburban staff here."

Huang Youliang explained from the side, and opened his hands to the back, as if to greet something.

After Huang Youliang's movements, many black and white robots flew in the sky, but unlike Sophia, they didn't seem to have the ability to communicate.

They have everything from knives and shovels in the kitchen to rakes in the fields.

There are even security robots in the area that are equipped with weapons, but they look much more advanced, more powerful and powerful.

"Food, living, entertainment, security, in Area A, these robots developed by the company can meet everything, if you are too bored, you can also take the company's ether car to play everywhere in the residential area."

"But it's not advisable to go deep into the suburbs, where you may somehow have some techniques to break cars, and while self-defense robots are enough to prevent most hazards, but... Safety first. ”

Lu Yun knew what the danger was that Huang Youliang didn't say, the containment and the post-war anomaly.

"Then you can go to the house with Sophia to have a look first, and I will wait for you here after the settlement is settled, and take you to the company to report."

"Well, thank you."

Lu Yunhe thanked Yan, and then Sophia took them to walk through the spotless streets of Area A.

Although Area A should be the smallest of all the residential blocks, Lu Yun felt that it was extremely empty, and in addition to one house per person, each house was equipped with a garden around it.

And on the streets, as Huang Youliang said, except for the occasional flying robot, there are no other staff.

As for the inhabitants of Area A, they seemed to be very easy-going, and when Sophia led them down the road, the inhabitants smiled at them without any contempt.

"Sophia, are all the family members of the employees living here?"

Lu Yun asked the cylindrical intelligent robot named Sophia, and he felt that the people here were different from ordinary urban people.

"To be precise, it should be the family members of employees above the authority level like you, some of them are from the suburbs, and most of them are from the urban areas."

"Rainbow Dash, what is an authority-level employee?"

Although Lu Yun was already very familiar with this concept, his mother still belonged to a state where he didn't know anything, and Lu Yun didn't plan to change this state for the time being.

"It's nothing, mom, didn't Feng Ran take me to solve a post-war anomaly before, so I'll become a authorized employee, not much different from ordinary employees!"

Xiang Yan looked at Lu Yun's eyes, as if to say, "Who believes this?" ”。

"Well, then I'm going to thank you for that senior, Rainbow Dash!"

It's just that Bai Wenlan was really fooled by Lu Yun with these half-truths.

After a while, Sophia took Lu Yun and his party to their destination, which was a small villa with white walls and red tiles, and the garden in front of the door was planted with some green plants and sports equipment.

"Housing number: A0831, your luggage will be placed according to the automatically generated layout by the handling robot, and after that, life in Area A will officially begin."

Sophia spawned a flower on her display, but the sound wasn't as festive as it sounded.

After that, while Lu Yun and the others were looking around the house, the suburban people slowly put their luggage in their new home.

This is a 3-storey villa, the first floor is the kitchen and classroom, the second floor is the master bedroom, study, and activity room, and the third floor is the second bedroom and some spare rooms.

Bai Wenlan looked more and more excited, it seemed that he had already figured out how to decorate the new home, Lu Yun was worried that his mother would not be happy when she moved to the new environment, but now it seems that he is worried too much.

"Auntie, is it really okay for them to trouble you?"

Xiang Yan's twin siblings are not allowed to enter the company due to special circumstances, and can only temporarily live in the housing of employees' families, but they are all children, so Bai Wenlan proposed her to take care of them.

"Of course it's okay, kid, Rainbow Dash and you will have to work after that, my old aunt is bored by herself, and someone can match me!"

Listening to the frolicking sound of the rain and snow upstairs, Bai Wenlan smiled happily.

"Don't say that, Mom, I'll come back to see you often."

Lu Yun hurriedly explained that he didn't plan to leave his mother here.

"Alone?"

Bai Wenlan secretly glanced at Xiang Yan, but this was too secretive, and before Lu Yun could react to what Bai Wenlan meant, Xiang Yan next to him pushed Lu Yun.

Xiang Yan, who was still wearing a mask, seemed to blame Lu Yun for something, but Lu Yun didn't understand why.

Does this depend on the need for special companionship? His mother may have welcomed Xiang Yan very much, but Xiang Yu and Xiang Xue didn't welcome him very much, and even looked at his color with some hostility.

"Alas, idiot, you don't understand it, and you're gone."

Xiang Yan said that he directly turned around and left with his hands behind his back, and Lu Yun also followed when he saw this, but it was not very pleasant to be scolded by someone younger than himself.

Especially after he left, in addition to Bai Wenlan's farewell to them, there was also the pair of "nerds!" Nerds! Shouts.

"Why am I just staying?"

Lu Yun was puzzled and asked modestly.

"When you know, you won't stay~"

Xiang Yan didn't answer, and walked forward with small jumps all the way.

Lu Yun sighed and followed without saying anything more.

……

Returning to the location of Huang Youliang's vehicle, they arrived at the door of the Aether Company after a short drive.

The road was neatly cut off before the Aether Corporation, and the dark surface of asphalt, gravel, sand, and other materials was replaced by silver-white masonry.

The starting point of the highway is the entrance to the Aether Company?

Lu Yun was a little surprised, those so-called night highway precautions, are they really the self-entertainment of the ether company to show its authority?

Retracting his gaze from his feet, Lu Yun threw it towards the complex of buildings in front of him.

At a glance, the Aether Company was almost all black, white, and gray tones, indifferent and merciless, except for the tower.

The Tower of Aether, which illuminates the entire residential area, is in the middle of the location of the Aether Company, and miraculously, its light is enough to illuminate more than 10,000 kilometers.

But when Lu Yun was really under the Aether Tower, he didn't feel dazzling at all, facing the light source, only warmth and light.

"Don't look at the Aether Tower for too long, you'll be blind."

Huang Youliang's reminder made Lu Yun retract his gaze, although he didn't know what the principle of that light was, but looking directly at such a bright light for too long, it was really not good according to common sense.

In addition to the Ethereum Tower in the center, it is also surrounded by buildings in charge of different affairs of the Aether Corporation, each of which is at least dozens of stories high.

There are a lot of employees here, they run from building to building, they are well-dressed, they look like the elite of the city, and compared to suburban people like Lu Yun and Xiang Yan, they are simply not people of the world.

"Where you joined, that's there."

Xiang Yan and Lu Yun followed Huang Youliang's guidance and looked at the tallest building except for the Aether Tower, which stood opposite the Aether Tower, and the Aether Tower was not far from the majesty of the Aether Tower, which did not shine thousands of miles.

This is the main building of the Ether Corporation, which is responsible for communication with overseas settlements, management of suburban organizations, and review of reports submitted by companies in urban areas.

But despite this, Lu Yun didn't quite understand, what kind of work could they do in this kind of place?

As if seeing through Lu Yun and Xiang Yan's doubts, Huang Youliang smiled and said proudly:

"The above trivial matters are taken care of by ordinary people in the urban area, and elites like us..."

"This is where I work."

Huang Youliang's finger pointing at the main building suddenly went down, Lu Yun was stunned for a moment before he reacted, he and Xiang Yan looked at each other, as if they had confirmed each other's answers.

Where they work –

Is it the underground of the Aether Corporation?
