Chapter 1039 Fifth Space

Unlike the other four floors, the fifth floor has very few permanent residents.

The officially registered population is less than 2,000 people, so the fifth floor is more like a private territory. It is difficult to apply for travel requests. Except for those who work here, there are few people from other floors walking here.

However, with Qiu Ming here, Zhang Heng and Electronic Sheep's applications were approved very quickly.

After getting the tickets, the three of them followed the instructions and entered the corresponding waiting hall. However, it was also very deserted here. Apart from them, there were only six or seven scattered people preparing to go to the fifth floor.

"Don't look around," Qiu Ming told the electronic sheep who were looking around. "Don't forget your current status. Many of the people who will go to the fifth floor are employees of the company. Don't let them see any flaws."

"You are quite kind-hearted, but are you really thinking about us?" Electronic Sheep was doubtful, but still followed Qiu Ming's instructions and retracted his gaze without squinting.

"Of course, I have read countless people, and I am very aware of my current situation. If I take any inappropriate measures, before they take effect, the friend next to you must have slit my throat or stabbed me in the back. There is a hole in my forehead." Qiu Ming said, "I like my job and I am very grateful to the company that gives me a job, but in comparison, my life is more important."

"You are quite self-aware," the electronic sheep mocked.

"Recognizing danger is one of the most important survival instincts of living things. Not to mention humans, even Paramecia know how to avoid harmful stimuli through stress and move towards beneficial stimuli." Qiu Mingdao, "On the contrary, it is you. I have persuaded many times, but you still want to go to a dangerous place, which is really not very wise."

"That's not because you kidnapped Xu Qian!" The electronic sheep looked at him unkindly.

When Qiu Ming saw this, he wisely closed his mouth.

Not long after, an ascending shuttle entered the station. The robotic arm beside the platform also moved. It completed the assembly as quickly as possible and loaded the waiting hall where the three people were sitting into the interior of the shuttle.

"Welcome to the fifth floor, I wish you a pleasant journey."

An elegant female voice sounded, but it sounded a little scary in the empty carriage.

…………

About six minutes later, the shuttle stopped moving again, and the robotic arm that had been prepared disassembled the carriage again and placed it in the arrival hall.

Qiu Ming unbuckled his seat belt and followed Zhang Heng and the electronic sheep out of the station honestly.

It is different from what the electronic sheep imagined. The station on the fifth floor does not have that very luxurious feeling. Although the building is more sophisticated than the four floors below, there seems to be no other difference other than that. The station was also unusually deserted, with very few passengers or staff.

"Where's the taxi?" The electronic sheep looked up at the sign, but couldn't find the taxi stop.

"There are no rentals on the fifth floor." Qiu Ming said, "All permanent residents here have cars, and people who work in ordinary jobs have shuttle buses to and from get off work, and they are not allowed to wander around. More than one-third of the people on the fifth floor have cars. The second area is all private property.”

"It's very stylish, but what should we do? Is the place we want to go far away? Can we walk there?" the electronic sheep muttered.

"Don't worry, our company has specially parked some vehicles in the parking lot of the station for employees to use. Just drive there." Qiu Ming said.

Then the three of them took the elevator down to the parking lot. Qiu Ming turned on his bracelet and turned on the car call mode. Half a minute later, a silver-gray car left his parking space and drove in front of the three of them.

Qiu Ming opened the car door and made an invitation gesture. The electronic sheep got into the car first, followed by Qiu Ming, and finally Zhang Heng sat in the passenger seat.

"It's a rare trip. Do you want to take a brief tour of the scenery on the fifth floor?" Qiu Ming asked while adjusting the front and rear view mirrors.

"No, just take us directly to Xu Qian, don't try any more tricks." Electronic Sheep warned.

Qiu Ming glanced at the pistol Zhang Heng held at his waist, nodded and said, "You have the final say."

This is also the first time that the electronic sheep has come to the fifth level of space. It would be false to say that he is not curious, but because all his attention is now on how to rescue Xu Qian, he is not in the mood to enjoy the scenery along the way.

But even so, when Qiu Ming drove through the city, the electronic sheep still looked out the window a few times.

The result made him a little disappointed. Like the station, the fifth floor was much plainer than he expected, and he always felt that there was something missing on the street. At first, the electronic sheep thought it was a pedestrian, but after a few more glances, he suddenly realized, My feeling of being out of place was because I didn't see a single billboard.

Whether on the first or fourth floor, there are many billboards on both sides of the street, large or small, with different shapes. The stars and products on them are also all kinds of. As a technology enthusiast, Electronic Sheep often takes advantage of event discounts to buy related products. , except for the fifth floor, no advertisements can be seen. The whole city is extremely clean, and the large white walls make the electronic sheep a little uncomfortable, as if they are walking in a wasteland.

As if he knew what he was thinking, Qiu Ming said, "This place is usually not so lively."

"Why?"

"Because when working... you need to concentrate, and the other thing is to avoid unnecessary associations." Qiu Mingdao.

"Unnecessary associations? What are unnecessary associations?"

Qiu Ming did not continue to answer this question. He drove the car up a beautiful hillside and saw a private area in the distance. A sign prohibiting entry without invitation.

Qiu Ming ignored the sign and continued to drive forward, and soon reached the first guard post.

The electronic eye happily let the car go after scanning his ID and work permit, so Qiu Ming continued to drive in, and arrived at the second sentry post three minutes later. This time, not only Qiu Ming, but also Zhang Heng and Electronic Sheep who were traveling with him also showed their ID and work permit. With the work permit in hand, he was released.

"You can see how annoying this system is. In fact, the regular meeting every Monday is a nightmare for me." Qiu Ming complained as he passed the second guard post.

Then he drove the car directly up the hillside. There was a villa and manor above. Qiu Ming did not stop, bypassed the villa, and continued forward until the terrain began to become flat and began to go downwards. Electronic Sheep and Zhang Heng finally Saw the destination of this trip.

In the valley on the back of the hillside stands a huge gray building, which visually occupies an area larger than ten airports. It has a strange shape and looks like a giant ship ready to sail into the wind. In addition, on the other side There is a tunnel in the middle of the mountain connected to this building complex. Under the transparent tunnel roof, trucks are constantly coming and going, making it look extremely busy.

"Where is this place? Is it a secret base hidden by the government? Or an alien research institute." Electronic Sheep asked.

"No, this is the real headquarters of Tang Morgan New Shanghai 0297." Qiu Ming said leisurely.
