Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 672 The Digital World

Song Lan very much agreed with Rose's suggestion.

As a long-term domestic creature, Marathon is no different from his natural enemy.

The second area is not far from the first area. During the chat, the plane slowly landed on the apron on the roof of a tall building.

After getting off the plane, the whole city gave Song Lan a very strong sense of oppression - this city is really too crowded, at a glance, one after another of skyscrapers are all close together, leaving only some small gaps for pedestrians and vehicles to pass through .

The use of space by people in the first district has reached a staggering level. In order to facilitate the passage of more people, these top architects in the coalition government have built a "highway" in mid-air, and the colored lights have outlined countless roads. A road dedicated to suspended vehicles.

Looking up at the sky, even the blue sky was almost covered by the airship.

Some of these airships published some important instructions issued by the Council, as well as some company advertisements or recruitment information.

The person who greeted the four was a middle-aged woman in a professional suit and skirt. She painted exquisite makeup, which perfectly fit people's imagination of corporate women.

But in fact, her true identity is a secret agent of MI[-].

"Welcome, you can call me Natalie, that's my name at work."

The middle-aged woman took the initiative to introduce herself.

It's one of the Coalition's most common names, and it feels familiar without impressing them, and Natalie seemed a little reserved when meeting them.

After all, for the old men of MI0, they have not yet adapted to the sudden emergence of the CP[-] department, so they have to meet the executive officer of the highest operational department in front of them.

Although the above means that the highest operational department and they belong to two systems and do not interfere with each other, but the image of the second district has been circulated in MI[-], and each of them has carefully "reviewed" several times. We all know that the newly promoted CEO is a real tough guy.

Single-handedly, dare to challenge the entire Iris consortium in the second district.

This sounded more like a plot in a fantasy novel to them, but it actually happened before their eyes at this moment.

Back then, MI[-] had lost many excellent agents in order to investigate the intelligence inside the Iris Consortium.

"You must be Mr. Rob Lucci."

The identity of this executive officer is easy to identify, intelligence shows that there is always a vulture that can speak human language standing on his shoulder.

Natalie was surprised to find that the vulture seemed to be looking at her with assessing eyes, and after about three or four seconds, she looked away in disappointment.

"it's me."

Song Lan nodded.

The appearance of Natalie changed the atmosphere between the four of them. The happy communication atmosphere on the plane was gone, replaced by serious silence.

This is also the first impression that MI[-] gave everyone.

"Next, let me introduce you to the new office location of the department."

Natalie calmed down and introduced the building to several people conscientiously, "This is the Galaxy Transportation Company, one of the industries under MI[-]. We have prepared a lounge where you can rest during the meeting ...If you have travel plans, you can call the suspension car through room service at any time, if you need it, here are the procedures and related documents we have prepared."

Walking into the company, Natalie handed over four prepared briefcases of the same specification to the four people.

Inside the briefcase was a laptop, and work credentials for the Galactic Transportation Company.

These identities have been written into the network. From now on, one of their identities can be a company employee. After all, disguising identities is the normal life of MI[-]. Every time they go to a new place, they have to change their identities. In the past Everything that happens has nothing to do with them anymore.

And now, her identity is a company assistant named Natalie, helping the four of them in the first district.

"If you have any needs, you can contact me at any time, and I will try my best to solve all the problems you encounter in the first district."

"Thanks for your hard work."

The lounges for several people are all located on the same floor. The facilities in the room are very luxurious, and the functionality is no less than that of the residence in the second district.

It was only when Song Lan came to the big city that he realized the backwardness of the infrastructure in District [-] more intuitively. Even the hotels in the downtown area that were specially established for the rich were far away from here.

Just as he was lamenting the level of material life, Lu Xiang had already packed his personal belongings and entered his room.

"how do you feel?"

She glanced out the window.

This is the 72nd floor of the Galaxy Transportation Company, but the outside is not the endless beauty of District [-], but another skyscraper with the same height as them. Through the one-way glass, they can still vaguely see the scene of the company people working on the opposite side .

It's 13:12 now, and for company people, this can only be regarded as the beginning of a busy day.

"Is it depressing?"

This is also how Lu Xiang felt when she came to the first district for the first time. At that time, she was just standing in the outer area of ​​the city, looking at the "prosperous" metropolis from a distance, and realized that she didn't want to be in such a place in the future. Life.

And for Song Lan, who works like a fisherman, arrives late and leaves early, and only wants to lie down when he returns home, the first district may be the most unsuitable city in the world for him to live in.

Song Lan nodded, and asked curiously, "Where do these people usually live?"

When they had a bird's-eye view of the city through the window of the plane just now, they did not find any residential areas, and even the basic facilities such as schools and hotels were pitiful.

"Of course I live in the company."

Lu Xiang replied in a reasonable tone, "The company has prepared a dormant cabin for the employees, but most of them will not go to the dormant cabin to rest. When they are tired, they just lie on the desk and take a nap. Get back to work when you get here."

"Hibernate?"

"Well, haven't you seen the ad that was popular for a long time a few years ago?"

Lu Xiang was a little surprised. She felt that with Song Lan's frequency of watching TV, he should have seen most of the commercials.

"Didn't you come to District [-] a few years ago? I didn't dare to be so passive and sabotage at that time."

There's something subtle about this.

For a long time, Song Lan felt that he was a time traveler, and his new life was almost the same as when Lu Xiang was transferred to the [-]th district. After understanding the characteristics of his own abilities, he was not sure whether time travel Either it actually happened, or it was just part of a side effect of his ability.

The only thing that is certain is that a few years ago, during the tenure of the previous department head, he was considered a hard worker.

Hearing this, Lu Xiang narrowed his eyes and sneered, "What? Seeing that I am easy to talk, I gradually revealed my true nature?"

"This……"

Song Lan was at a loss for words.

Once again, he realized what it meant to have misfortune come from the mouth.

Fortunately, Lu Xiang has never been a person who likes to fuss over trivial matters.

Anyway, Song Lan was lazy at work, sooner or later he had to make up for it in other places.

She took a deep glance at Song Lan, walked to the wall, and gestured on the wall with her hands, "It's about this size device, and there is a pull-out bed inside, with restraint straps on it, and you can fix it after lying on it." Stop hands and feet so as not to roll over after falling asleep, and after the employees lying on the bed are pushed in, the dormancy chamber will release hypnotic gas to help them fall asleep quickly."

Lu Xiang still remembers that the advertisement said that this is a scientific way of rest for human beings in the 22nd century. With the help of scientific methods such as medicine, they only need to sleep for 4 hours a day to be full of energy.

But she thinks the real reason is just because the hibernation compartment can save space to the maximum extent.

The company no longer needs to arrange dormitories for employees. "A room like this can provide rest for 40 employees at the same time."

"Have you tried the hibernation chamber? How does it work?"

"I tried it a few times when I went out to perform tasks at school. I couldn't move my hands and feet, and the bed board was so hard that my waist was hard. You kept saying that your back hurts, and you must not be able to stand that."

The only advantage may be that it can really help some insomnia patients.

Anyone who enters the hypnosis chamber can immediately fall asleep.

"It's not as good as hugging bugs..."

Song Lan said to himself, it's no wonder that those company employees who have lived in big cities in Medel love the cuddling bugs. He thinks that if cuddling bugs can be mass-produced and marketed, it should be in a place like the first district. Big money.

However, he must declare that every time he suffers from back pain, there is a reason.

"It's not as good as the cuddling bug. If there is a cuddling bug, they don't need to leave the office."

Lu Xiang concluded, "In short, being transferred to work in the first district means that you need to give up almost all of your personal life time. Well, for example, those people in the building opposite, there should be many of them for several weeks. Never left the company."

This is one of the reasons why the buildings in District [-] are so compact.

Although there is a large population here, there are not many times when you need to use transportation. For a long time in the past, companies have been working on making their employees more focused on their work.

"Can they bear such a life?"

"Because of the huge loan repayment, I should have mentioned to you that most of the company's employees need to undergo prosthetic body transplants when they start their jobs to facilitate their future work. The cost of these prosthetic body transplants will be in the form of loans. Deducted from their monthly salary, for the average employee, 10 years or so of working for the company should pay off that.”

Lu Xiang thought for a while and said, "But they can also refuse to work for the company and return to those outer cities with high crime rates, earning a meager salary every day, and risking being robbed by criminals."

At least in the first district, when they stay in the company, they don't need to worry about facing those vicious criminals.

And the company will indeed provide them with a good salary, enough for them to subsidize their families.

Although they have little chance to enjoy the life brought by high wages based on their working hours, many people's families have changed because of this job.

In the words of company managers, all this is their free choice.

"As far as I know, although the work pressure is very high, the job opportunities in the first district are very tight, and only a very small number of people can get the opportunity to work here."

She doesn't know much about the company's internal system, but the company's top management has clearly formulated a set of effective management and competition methods, which has attracted countless people to obtain such a life.

Song Lan also came to the window and stood beside Lu Xiang, watching the same scene outside the window.

Here, everyone's lifestyle looks pretty much the same.

Looking at those people who were buried in their work in the office, he finally remembered where this familiar feeling came from.

The entire First District looks like those management games on the market.

For game players, company employees are equivalent to some cold numbers. What they need to do is to manage these numbers properly and maximize their value for the company.

Perhaps in the eyes of company managers, the whole world is like this.
