Night’s Nomenclature - Chapter 63
[Sixty-two, 1 net]
Qingchen stood on the tarmac, and the turbo jet of the floating car stirred up the noisy wind and waves.
Suddenly, in the distance.
There is a light rail running through the sky between the cities, and white light shines through the dense windows, like a white pegasus.
What’s even more amazing is that it is passing through the dense buildings.
It’s not through the gaps between the buildings, but in the high-rise buildings where a hole was cut, and the light rail passed through the building like a tunnel.
The city is inexplicably mysterious.
“Since you can come out at any time, why stay in Prison No. 18?” Qing Chen asked suddenly.
“Because the prison is cleaner than here? You’ll find out later,” Li Shutong didn’t answer directly.
When the waiter turned around to lead the way, Qingchen asked in a low voice, “It’s already one o’clock in the middle of the night, is the restaurant still open?”
Li Shutong glanced at him: “Life in this city that never sleeps has just begun.”
“You don’t have to sleep? You don’t have to work tomorrow?” Qingchen wondered.
“Qing’s previously discovered the unique function of connecting neuron technology, which can simulate neural waves outside the brain and help people enter deep sleep. Sleeping for two or three hours a day is enough,” Li Shutong said.
“Does this technology have no sequelae?” Qing Chen asked again.
“Of course there is,” Li Shutong said. “After using this technology for a month, you won’t be able to sleep even if you want to sleep late.”
“It’s a bit miserable,” Qingchen sighed. Although he worked hard, he occasionally enjoyed sleeping.
Li Shutong said to Qingchen: “Technology is a double-edged sword, and no one knows whether it brings blessings or disasters to mankind. For example, Li’s research and development of genetically modified fast-growing trees, fast-growing corn, and fast-growing soybeans resulted in three Ten years later, a large area of land will no longer grow plants. The Kashima Consortium used to have developed animal husbandry, but after genetic modification, they found that those genetically modified livestock lost their fertility after three generations of breeding.”
While human beings continue to enjoy scientific and technological achievements, they are also constantly being attacked by wisdom.
Li Shutong continued: “When human beings don’t have to sleep for so long, in fact, the production efficiency has not improved much, but it has caused the emptiness of the human spiritual world.”
Of course, Qingchen felt that the outer world had not been attacked so fiercely for the time being, and it might be because they were not as radical as the inner world.
At this time, Qing Chen saw a huge flower boat flying by between the buildings under his feet. The flower boat was decorated with lights, but it revealed a strange atmosphere.
Qingchen couldn’t understand the totem on the boat at all.
Li Shutong followed his gaze: “Don’t look at it, it’s a cruise ship of the Mechanic Sect. Every second it sprays liquid oxygen methane, it uses the blood and sweat of believers.”
During the conversation, Uncle Li was expressionless.
The two sat in the exquisite and luxurious restaurant, and the well-dressed waiter brought a braised pork in front of Li Shutong.
Only a pair of chopsticks.
“What about mine?” Qing Chen wondered.
“You’re wearing a mask, you can’t eat it,” Li Shutong casually took a piece of braised pork.
Qing Chen: “…”
After a while, Li Shutong looked up at him with a smile: “Are you hungry?”
“A little bit,” Qing Chen said.
As a result, Li Shutong actually called the waiter: “Bring him a bowl of fried noodles.”
“Okay Mr. Li,” the waiter responded politely.
Even in the Sunlight Pavilion, there has never been a fried sauce noodles.
After the noodles were ready, Li Shutong screened everyone back, and then said to Qingchen, “Take off the mask and eat noodles.”
Qing Chen looked out the window while mixing noodles.
This should be one of the tallest buildings in City No. 18. Looking up, only two buildings in the distance are left standing in the sky with it.
“That’s Qing’s and Li’s buildings,
“Li Shutong explained.
Qingchen looked down again, and the dense buildings were connected by covered bridges. The whole city was like a galaxy, and the lights and neon lights were the stars in that galaxy.
Occasionally, a floating car flew by, and the other party’s turbo jet was like a passing meteor.
At a certain moment, Qingchen was in the 88-story high-rise building, like being in between heaven and earth, vast and magnificent.
“Is this the most beautiful scenery in City No. 18?” Qingchen asked.
“The Eternal Building is built on top of six buildings, and based on those six buildings, it has its current height and beauty. If you don’t consider the graffiti, urine stains, sewage, and crime on the underlying buildings, then this is the most beautiful scenery. ,” Li Shutong said: “Today I will show you the most beautiful, and if there is still a chance, I can show you the ugliest side of the city.”
Speaking, Uncle Li pointed to the side: “There are telescopes next to the window, specially for diners to enjoy the scenery, you can take a look.”
Qing Chen walked to the telescope.
He saw the continuous flow of vehicles on the ground, and also saw the playful crowd.
Some people are graffitiing strange but trendy paintings on the walls, as well as the white smoke of the barbecue restaurant and the wine flag of the izakaya fluttering in the wind.
Suddenly, he saw two black helicopters slowly descending on the plaza platform downstairs. More than 20 combat team members jumped down one after another, and rushed into the Eternal Building in a tactical formation.
There were also two mechanical dogs running fast beside them.
These people were armed with live ammunition, carrying weapons that Qingchen could not name.
Obviously it was for Uncle Li.
Qingchen looked back at Li Shutong, but the teacher smiled calmly: “Eat first.”
“Well,” Qing Chen ate the noodles seriously.
This time Li Shutong was intrigued: “Aren’t you afraid?”
“This is the first time the teacher takes the students out to see the scenery, so the students will not die in the middle of the road. Otherwise, this teacher is too incompetent,” Qingchen said as a matter of course.
Li Shutong’s hearty laughter swayed outwards.
He really liked Qingchen more and more.
At this moment, the more than 20 combat team members in the building were divided into two teams. One team took the elevator to climb up to the 87th floor, and the other team entered the safe escape channel and searched upwards on foot.
Outside the Eternal Building, two Black Kite-01 armed helicopters once again pulled up to the sky.
They slowly hovered around the 70th floor of the Eternal Building, ready for heavy fire support at any time.
In a temporary military base farther away, more than a dozen armed helicopters and floating airships have just taken off.
In the distance, Qing’s ‘Land Cruise’ giant floating craft began to load a new solid fuel tank while the logistics staff were busy.
It’s all like a net, gradually tightening.
Just when the big net was tightened, in the communication channel, the team leader of the combat team calmly said: “Stop, check the charging status of each mechanical limb on the spot, and give me feedback.”
After he finished speaking, he signaled that in the stairs of the safe passage, all the members of the tactical team entered a state of silence, briefly shutting down all communication systems.
After he was sure that the voice would not be transmitted back to the headquarters, he said calmly: “Boss Chen explained that if you want to leave here alive tonight, don’t shoot. Remember, don’t drag others down.”
“Squad leader, I didn’t understand,” a combat team member was stunned.
The team leader said: “You will understand later, repeat, don’t shoot, repeat, don’t shoot.”
But before they could reconnect the communication equipment, a dark shadow silently fell between them on the stairs.
Ferocious and powerful.
