Qingchen is standing on the apron, and the turbine ejector of the floating car stirs up the noise.

Suddenly, in the distance.

There is a light rail running through the sky between the cities. The dense windows are shining white, just like a white horse.

What's more, it's passing through dense buildings.

It's not through the gap between the buildings, but through the holes in the tall buildings. The light rail seems to shuttle through the buildings like tunnels.

The city is inexplicably mysterious.

"Since you can come out at any time, why stay in prison 18?" Qingchen suddenly asked.

"Because the prison is cleaner than here? You will know later, "Li Shutong did not answer directly.

When the waiter turned to lead the way, Qingchen asked in a low voice, "it's one o'clock in the middle of the night. Is the restaurant still open?"

Li Shutong took a look at him: "life in this city that never sleeps has just begun."

"Don't you have to sleep? You don't have to work tomorrow? " Qingchen doubts.

"Qing's previous discovery of the unique role of connecting neurons technology can simulate nerve wave band outside the brain and help people get into deep sleep. Sleeping two or three hours a day is enough," Li Shutong said.

"Is there no sequela to this technique?" Qingchen asked again.

"Of course," Li Shutong said, "after using this technology for a month, even if you want to sleep in, you can't sleep."

"It's a bit miserable," Qingchen sighs. Although he works hard, he occasionally enjoys sleeping.

Li Shutong said to Qingchen: "science and technology is a double-edged sword. No one knows whether it brings happiness or disaster to human beings. For example, Lee once developed transgenic fast-growing trees, fast-growing corn and fast-growing soybeans. As a result, 30 years later, large areas of land can no longer grow plants. The deer island consortium originally developed animal husbandry, but it was found that the transgenic livestock lost their fertility after breeding for three generations. "

Human beings are constantly enjoying the achievements of science and technology, but also suffering from wisdom.

Li Shutong continued: "when human beings don't have to sleep so long, in fact, the production efficiency doesn't improve much. Instead, it leads to the emptiness of human spiritual world."

Of course, Qingchen thinks that the world of expressionism has not been attacked so fiercely for the time being. It may also be because they are not so radical as the world of Expressionism.

At this time, Qingchen saw between the buildings at his feet, there was a huge flower boat flying by, which was decorated with lights, but revealed a strange atmosphere.

Qingchen can't understand the totem on the ship.

Li Shutong followed his eyes and said, "don't look. It's a cruise ship of mechanical theology. Every second it ejects liquid oxygen and methane, it uses the blood and sweat of believers."

Between the words, Li Shutong has no expression.

They were sitting in an exquisite and luxurious restaurant. The well-dressed waiter brought up a portion of braised pork and put it in front of Li Shutong.

Only one pair of chopsticks.

"And mine?" Qingchen was puzzled.

"You're wearing a mask. You can't eat it," Li Shutong Hun said carelessly.

Qingchen

After a while, Li Shutong looked up at him with a smile: "hungry?"

"A little bit," Qingchen said.

As a result, Li Shutong called the waiter: "give him a bowl of fried noodles."

"Yes, Mr. Li," the waiter replied politely.

Even in the Sunshine Pavilion, I have never made fried noodles.

When the noodles were ready, Li Shutong held back everyone. Then he said to Qingchen, "take off the mask and eat the noodles."

Qingchen looks out of the window while mixing noodles.

This should be one of the tallest buildings in No.18 city. Looking up, there are only two buildings standing in the sky with it in the distance.

"That's Qing's and Li's building," Li Shutong explained.

Qingchen looks down again. The dense buildings are connected by corridor bridges. The whole city is like a milky way, and the lights and neon are the stars in that Milky way.

Occasionally a floating car flies by, and the other party's turbine jet is like a meteor.

At a certain moment, Qingchen was in an 88 story high-rise building, as if in the world, vast and magnificent.

"Is this the most beautiful scenery in city 18?" Qingchen asked.

"The eternal building is built on top of six buildings, and only based on those six buildings can it have its present height and beauty. If you don't consider the graffiti, urine stains, sewage and crime on the ground floor, then this is the most beautiful scenery, "Li Shutong said." today, I'll show you the most beautiful. If I have a chance, I can show you the ugliest side of the city. "

Said, Li Shutong pointed to the side: "there are telescopes beside the window, specially for diners to enjoy the scenery, you can have a look."

Qingchen goes to the telescope.

He saw the endless flow of vehicles on the ground, and also saw the people playing.

Some people are graffiti on the walls with strange but trendy paintings, as well as the white smoke of barbecue shops and the wine flags of taverns fluttering in the wind.

All of a sudden, he saw two black helicopters slowly falling down on the platform of the square downstairs, and more than 20 combat team members successively jumped down from the cabin to rush into the eternal building in a tactical formation.

There are also two mechanical dogs running fast beside them.

These people are armed and carrying weapons that Qingchen can't name.

It's obviously for Uncle Li.

Qingchen looks back at Li Shutong, but the teacher smiles calmly: "eat first."

"Well," Qingchen said seriously.

This time, Li Shutong was interested: "don't you be afraid?"

"The first time the teacher takes the students out to see the scenery, the students will not die on the way, otherwise the teacher is too incompetent," Qingchen naturally said.

Li Shutong's hearty laughter went out.

He really likes Qingchen more and more.

At this moment, more than 20 fighters in the building are divided into two teams. One team takes the elevator to climb to the 87th floor, and the other team enters the safe escape passage and searches upward on foot.

Outside the eternal building, two heiyuan-01 armed helicopters were lifted to the sky again.

They slowly circled around the 70th floor of the eternal building, ready for heavy fire support.

Further away in a temporary military base, more than a dozen armed helicopters and floating boats have just taken off.

Further away, Qing's "land cruise" giant airship began to load new solid fuel bunker in the busy logistics staff.

All this is like a net, gradually tightening.

Just as the big network was tightening, on the communication channel, the team leader of the combat team calmly said, "stop, check the charging status of their mechanical limbs in place, and give me feedback."

With that, he motioned to all tactical team members in the stairs of the safe passage to enter a state of silence and temporarily shut down all communication systems.

After he was sure that the voice would not be sent back to the headquarters, he said calmly: "boss Chen has told me that if you want to leave here alive tonight, you should not shoot. Remember, don't drag others down. "

"Squad leader, I don't understand," one of the soldiers was stunned.

The group leader said, "you will understand later. Repeat, no shooting. Repeat, no shooting."

But before they reconnected the communication equipment, a dark shadow on the stairs fell quietly between them.

Fierce, powerful.
