I am in the reincarnation of the heavens

Chapter 149 The Tower
Yang Sheng had imagined what the tower would look like countless times before, but he never saw it with his own eyes and was shocked.

High tower, high tower, Yang Sheng always thought it was a tower.

But in fact, what appeared in front of my eyes was a towering giant city!

The whole body is silvery white, and the special alloy shines brightly, even under the acid rain of magma, there is no slight corrosion.

The huge tower can't see the end at a glance, and the same is true when looking up.

The first floor of the tower is [-] square kilometers, which is already a giant city.

The second layer is slightly smaller than the first layer, and each layer is about a kilometer high. There are six layers in total, and the top layer touches the clouds.

God knows how much power the rich and powerful who built the tower had gathered to build such a large tower.

Before coming here, Yang Sheng had already inquired about the main structure and information of the tower with Erin.

The first floor of the tower has the largest area, but in fact, the first floor was not inhabited at first, but was built as an ecological area of ​​the tower, used to grow food and vegetables, and raise livestock.

After the tower was opened, some outside civilians who were not contaminated by radiation poured in, and some poor or bankrupt middle-class civilians in the tower were pushed to the first floor, and this place became a slum.

Except for the original plantation, other places are crowded and messy, dilapidated slums, and the law and order are extremely poor.

The second floor of the tower is where ordinary residents and workers live. Some of them work on the upper floor, and some work on the lower floor. The supplies are not sufficient but not scarce, and the level of security is good. People from the Explorer Corps are stationed in Second floor.

The third layer is the area where the middle class is located. Most of the weapon factories and food factories are located here. It is the area with the richest resources, and the Guardian Corps is stationed here.

The fourth floor is the wealthy area, where the headquarters of the major companies in the tower are located, and the upper-level managers of the companies also live here, including the Gaota Research Institute where Erin is located on the fourth floor.

The fifth floor is the aristocratic area. They are the real rulers of the tower, the descendants of the dignitaries who first built the tower, and the subsequent rulers. The Judgment Legion is also stationed here.

The headquarters of the only legal religion in the tower, the Sect of Light, is also on the fifth floor.

Most of the time, the sixth floor is empty. It is where the tower council is located, and it will only be open when the council is in session.

At the same time, the sixth floor also stores the ultimate weapon of the tower: the pupil of Hades.

This is also the ultimate power of the tower to deter the entire wasteland.

If it weren't for the presence of the Pluto's pupil, the tower might have been captured by countless mutants, gene awakeners, various mobs, and even various mutant monsters from the outside world on the first day it was opened.

Erin asked Yang Sheng to park the car outside and walked to the entrance of the tower.

"The tower now has three entrances, one is the place where most of the poor and wanderers from the wilderness of the tower enter and exit, and the other two are the places where people above the second floor enter and exit the tower.

I was supposed to go back through other entrances, but first I want to take Mr. Yang to the first floor of the tower.

People without a criminal record can get a temporary electronic residence permit in Gaota, which is valid for one month.

If you don't leave the tower after one month, you will be expelled by the magistrate, unless you use intelligence or various items to trade with the tower and leave a transaction record before you can apply for an extension of time.

This regulation was newly issued 20 years ago. Previously, as long as there were no obvious mutations, civilians could receive a permanent residence permit on the first floor of the tower.

Later, as the number of people on the first floor of the tower increased, it became a temporary residence permit in order to limit the number of people in the tower.

Now it is very difficult to formally join the tower to obtain a permanent residence permit. Some wilderness wanderers have accumulated for more than ten years before they can get a permanent residence permit. "

While talking, Yilin led Yang Sheng to the entrance of the tower.

It was a checkpoint with sixteen rows of passages and a height of 50 meters.

Many people dressed up as wanderers from the vicissitudes of life came and went, there were also some workers and poor people, and some were even beggars.

There are also some sheriffs in blue uniforms in the tower driving some people to drive them out of the tower.

In fact, there are four major corps in the tower, and there is a security corps on the first floor dedicated to maintaining public order.

However, because the strength of the security corps is too poor, there is no heavy firepower, and there are very few genetic modifiers and mechanical builders, so they are directly excluded from the ranks of the three major corps.

Of course, the security corps didn't care, anyway, they didn't have combat missions, they only needed to maintain law and order.

Yi Lin brought Yang Sheng to a machine. After scanning Yang Sheng's appearance and pupils, it was confirmed that he had no criminal record, and after registering some basic information, the machine automatically spit out an electronic card, which was actually half as thick. mobile phone.

"You must not lose this temporary residence permit, otherwise you will be kicked out of the tower by the magistrate.

It can also store high tower coins, you can stay in the high tower to buy supplies, and the number of the card can also be used for remote contact.

Most of the Gaotocoins on my body are stored in the bank, and there are not many in the card, so I will transfer them to you first. "

While leading Yang Sheng into the tower, Yilin took out her permanent residence permit.

Her permanent residence certificate is obviously much more advanced than Yang Sheng's, the workmanship is very meticulous, and it also has the function of a virtual computer.

After transferring the remaining high tower coins to Yang Sheng, Yi Lin bowed solemnly to Yang Sheng and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for escorting me back to the high tower. If you need any reward, just ask, as long as I can give it to you." , I will pay you all."

Erin is the captain of the Guard Corps, and also belongs to the high-ranking High Tower Research Institute.

So her status in the tower is actually not low. She belongs to the middle class living on the third floor, and her status is slightly higher than that of some technicians.

At this time, returning to the High Tower, Irene can completely turn her face and deny anyone, and even call the sheriff directly.

But she still chose to keep her original promise and do her best to reward Yang Sheng.

Yang Sheng suddenly discovered that apart from being a bit naive, this woman was also very principled and persistent.

"I want something now, but I don't know if you can get it."

"what?"

"Permanent residence permit for the tower!"

Yang Sheng looked around at this moment, and in front of him was a densely packed city.

That's right, Yang Sheng can only describe the city in front of him as dense.

Because there is no natural light source on the first floor of the tower, the lighting depends entirely on the solar energy conversion lamps on the top floor, which convert the external solar energy into energy and inject it into the lights.

But this kind of light source is given priority to the second floor and above, so the light on the first floor is very blurred, as dim as dusk.

In the dim light, Yang Sheng could see densely packed high-rise buildings one after another, like an ant nest, and the distance between two buildings could only accommodate an alley wide for two people.

There are various private buildings under the tall buildings, the better ones are reinforced concrete, the lesser ones are iron houses, and there are even many houses built from various waste products.

The expressions of passers-by are numb, as if their daily life is to live.

This is the first floor of the tower, a place that is more truly cyberpunk than the Walled City of Kowloon, or this is the real cyberpunk.

To complete the main task, Yang Sheng must stay in the tower.

One month is simply not enough time, so obtaining a permanent residence permit is the first step in completing the task.

Hearing Yang Sheng's request, Yilin hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said: "No problem, I will definitely get the permanent residence permit within a month."

If you want to get a permanent residence permit in the tower, you don't have to have money, you also need connections.

Erin doesn't have such a relationship in the military, but she still knows a few professors in the High Tower Research Institute, so she can try to ask them for help.

At this time, a horn sounded next to them, and a streamlined car with no wheels but suspended in mid-air stopped in front of the two of them.

The door opened upwards, and a handsome man in a gray uniform got out of the car.

"Eileen! You are finally back!"

The man grabbed Erin with a look of excitement on his face.

Yang Sheng looked at the man's uniform, it should be a member of the Guardian Corps.

Among the corps of the high tower, the sheriffs of the security corps wear blue uniforms.

The Explorer Corps wears desert yellow uniforms because they often go out to perform missions.

The Guardians are gray and the Judgment are black.

"But why didn't you go through the other two entrances? The first floor is so dirty, even the air is filled with the smell of inferior people."

The man showed a disgusted expression, then looked at Yang Sheng, frowned and said, "Honey, who is he?"

Yi Lin hurriedly said to Yang Sheng: "Mr. Yang, this is my fiancé, Su Jie, Major Staff Officer of the Tower Guardian Corps."

Yilin said to Su Jie again: "I didn't give you details in the message before, but this mission is too dangerous. The team that escorted me was slaughtered by the mutated dragon. I hired a team of mercenaries to go back to the tower. , I was targeted by the mutants under Black Jack again, thanks to Mr. Yang Sheng who escorted me all the way back to the tower.

If it weren't for Mr. Yang, you might not even see me now. "

After Su Jie finished listening, his complexion changed slightly, his eyes turned, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Erin poked him: "Mr. Yang escorted me all the way back, why didn't you say thank you?"

Su Jie forced a smile, and said to Yang Sheng, "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for escorting my fiancée back to the tower."

Yang Sheng said indifferently: "You're welcome, I'll be paid."

Hearing this, Su Jie's complexion turned ugly again.

But Yilin didn't notice this, maybe because she finally got rid of the external danger and went home, she excitedly pulled Su Jie into the car, waved at Yang Sheng and said:
"Goodbye, Mr. Yang, I will contact you after I get the permanent residence permit."

Watching the car turn around and drive away in the air, an unpredictable smile appeared on the corner of Yang Sheng's mouth, and he also turned around and walked towards the inside of the first floor of the tower.
