The next day, early morning, subway station.

"Good morning, the city that never sleeps.

Yesterday's death lottery,

The final result is a full 75!

Thanks to the endless gang fights, Hayward alone has 10 dead.

But two police officers are dead,

I think you all have to pay, because the ECPD will definitely not swallow this breath.

Dawson District has another temporary power outage,

The reason is an external intrusion, which must be the work of cyber hackers.

Meanwhile,

The medical team of the Mayo Clinic is also on the new Brooklyn sidewalk ,

Collect the bodies of victims of cyberpsychosis.

Of course,

Only citizens of the city that never sleeps who pay for medical insurance normally.

The poor people who don't apply for it can only lie in the garbage dump and cry silently.

And Baguazhou...haha...it's still Baguazhou.

I'm your best friend Afu.

Join me,

Start a new day in the city of dreams. "

On the external LCD screen,

the host with exaggerated outfits and unique hairstyles,

reported yesterday's news in a joking tone.

The unique rap talent of black people, combined with the rich body movements,

turned a morning news into a real talk show.

It's quite interesting to watch.

"There was such a large-scale conflict in Baguazhou last night,

At least 40 people died.

After that, I played a fast and furious game with ECPD,

which is considered big news anyway.

In the end, the host only mentioned it vaguely, but did not say it clearly.

Sure enough, the real power holders in this city are large companies,

and they will conceal any news that is not favorable to them."

Qin Nuo leaned on the handrail and watched the TV program with interest.

The body followed the bumps and swaying of the suspended skytrain,

passing through one dilapidated unfinished building after another at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour,

driving at a constant speed towards the city center.

Afra sat in the corner of the bench opposite,

with one hand resting on her chin, tilting her head and looking out the window.

Perhaps because she had seen it too many times,

when the skytrain drove out of Baguazhou,

the rippling sea and the kilometers-long cable-stayed steel suspension bridge,

suddenly came into view, she still looked lazy.

Not only Afra, but other passengers in the carriage also showed little interest.

Either they dozed off or whispered with their companions,

complaining that every day passed so quickly,

slept for less than 5 hours and had to start working again.

The damn salary was only 3,000 yuan,

but they treated people like animals, the company boss will not have a good death sooner or later.

Qin Nuo looked around casually,

noticing that most of the passengers in the carriage were wearing work clothes.

The appearance was similar to that of normal people.

At most, there were traces of prosthetic implants in small areas such as the neck and palms.

This was very different from the gang members and ECPD seen last night,

probably only basic prosthetics such as prosthetic eyes and synthetic lung lobes were installed.

Think about it,

ordinary people don't need to fight and kill, why risk cyberpsychosis,

implanted with Steinweiss, subcutaneous armor, mantis knives,

these prosthetics that are basically not used in daily life.

From the conversations of the passengers, we know that

They have to get up early every day,

and catch the first subway to go to work in Dawson, New Brooklyn, and Hayward.

If they miss it, they will be late,

and being late means that half a day's salary will be deducted, which is absolutely unacceptable.

It is better to sleep less than to be fined.

As for resignation?

It is not easy to find a job in the city that never sleeps, especially a formal job.

If there is a choice,

few people are willing to work in the gray industry.

If you have money to earn but no life to spend, not many people will think that their life is too long.

Qin Nuo watched the free programs broadcast in the car while listening to the nagging complaints of the passengers around him.

"No matter how advanced the world's technology is,

ordinary people still have to deal with daily necessities.

And the higher the level,

the higher the economic pressure and degree of exploitation they will bear."

While thinking,

the skyrail drove over the cross-sea bridge, crossed the Dawson District,

and entered the municipal center.

Skyscrapers with different characters on their roofs stand in a row.

From a distance,

It is like a solid barrier made of reinforced concrete,

firmly guarding the heart of the city that never sleeps.

Sanmu Group, North Technology, Longxing Heavy Industry, Zeiss Optics...

The headquarters of large and small companies are all crowded in this core area.

Looking down through the car window,

Clean and tidy streets, bustling pedestrians, lush greenery,

scenes that cannot be seen in Baguazhou are presented in front of you without reservation.

The endless flow of cars,

woven into an intricate ribbon, connects different blocks.

The dazzling array of shops on both sides of the road is filled with a strong commercial atmosphere.,

Attracting the attention of passers-by.

Looking up,

Anti-gravity aircraft of various styles,

Following the established aerial routes, take off or land in different buildings.

Those who can take this kind of transportation for commuting are probably the dignitaries.

"It feels like the air is full of the smell of money."

Qin Nuo looked at the familiar and unfamiliar city CBD scenery outside the window,

shrugged and retracted his gaze.

His destination is not here for the time being,

but the Hayward District across a bridge.

After finishing the work at hand, come here to have a good look.

Afra, who was silent throughout the whole scene,

changed her expression when she entered the Civic Center,

her eyes flashed with envy, and there was also a trace of imperceptible disgust.

The sky rail stopped and started,

passengers got off from time to time, and some got on.

Although they were dressed differently, their expressions and behaviors were surprisingly similar.

There was lingering fatigue on her face,

Both physical and psychological fatigue.

[We are about to arrive at the Hayward District-Dove Square Center,

Please get off the station and take your personal belongings in advance]

[We are about to arrive at the Hayward District-Dove Square Center,

Please get off the station and take your personal belongings in advance]

When the car horn sounded the broadcast prompt,

Afra patted her trouser legs, stood up from her seat,

and said: "We should get off the bus."

"Where do you live?" Qin Nuo raised an eyebrow.

"No, Lao Kang's private clinic."

She pointed to her ankle: "It's been delayed all night, you have to let me see a doctor first?"

"I thought you were going to take me around your house."

"Uh... I live in another block, and I have to take the bus later.

But you probably don't want to go into that place."

During the conversation, the skytrain stopped at the station,

and the two followed the crowd out of the car.

Since there were many passengers getting on and off this station, a small incident occurred during the journey.

A gangster with fancy clothes and a frivolous manner

tried to take advantage of the crowd and made a dirty move towards Afra.

After being discovered, he immediately spoke foul language and bit back,

accusing the latter of being a thief and trying to steal his wallet.

Afra didn't want to pay attention to him at first,

but the other party became more and more excited as he talked, and even stopped her from leaving,

looking like a scoundrel who was trying to extort money.

"I'm telling you that if you don't give me 100 today, I'll call the police immediately, believe it or not?

Don't think I don't know who you are. Last time..."

However, the gangster didn't say a word,

bang——

a heavy artillery hit him and knocked him to the ground.

The force was so great that

he rolled several times and almost fell off the platform.

"Don't be tolerant when you meet such a person. The more you retreat, the more arrogant he will be."

Qin Nuo shook his palm and said righteously.

The passengers around him were stunned when they saw this scene.

They couldn't help but feel ashamed of their cold-eyed behavior.

However, the next moment,

Qin Nuo seemed to see something,

and immediately picked up Afra and squeezed through the crowd, running towards the exit.

It turned out that two police comrades heard the noise and were walking towards this side.
