48 Hours a Day

Unlike the other four floors, there are few permanent inhabitants of the five-storey space.

With an officially registered population of less than 2,000, the fifth floor is more like a private territory, where requests for travel are difficult to apply, and where few other layers of space come and go, apart from those working there.

However, with Qiu Ming present, Zhang Henghe's electronic sheep application was quickly approved.

Upon obtaining the tickets, the three entered the corresponding waiting hall as instructed, although the area was also very cold, with only six or seven people, apart from them, who were scattered and ready to travel to the fifth floor.

“Don't look around,” Qiu Ming ordered Dong Zhang Xiwang's electronic sheep, “don't forget your current status, many of you will go to the 5th floor are employees of the company, don't let them see the breakage. ”

“You're kind, but are you really thinking of us?” The electronic sheep will doubt the letter, but as Qiu Ming said, they retracted their gaze and did not look away.

“Of course, I'm countless readers, and I know exactly where I am right now, and if I have any inappropriate initiatives, without them coming into effect, this friend of yours must have slit my throat or made a hole in my back door.” Qiu Mingdao, “I like my job, and I appreciate the company that gave me the job, but my life is more important than mine. ”

“You're quite self-aware.” The electronic sheep mocked.

“Identifying hazards is one of the most important survival instincts of organisms, let alone humans, even trawlers know to avoid harmful stimuli through stress and tend to favor them.” Qiu Mingdao, "it was you. I have advised you many times, but it is not wise for you to go to dangerous places. ”

“That's not because you kidnapped Xu Qian!” Electronic sheep have a bad eye.

Qiu Mingshu also shut his mouth very intelligently.

Soon after, a moving shuttle entered the station, and the robotic arm beside the station moved to complete the assembly at the fastest speed, loading the waiting hall where the three people were located inside the shuttle.

“Welcome to the fifth floor and have a nice trip. ”

An elegant woman sounds, but sounds a little hazy in an empty compartment.

…………

After about six minutes, the shuttle stopped moving again, and the arm, already ready, removed the compartment again and placed it in the arrivals hall.

Qiu Ming unbuckled his seat belt and followed Zhang Henghe electronically out of the station very honestly.

Unlike what electronic sheep imagine, the station on the fifth floor does not have that very luxurious feeling. Although the building is a little more specialized than the lower four floors, there seems to be no other difference besides that. In addition, the station is unusually cold, and there are very few passengers and staff.

“Where's the taxi?” The e-sheep looked up at the sign and did not find a taxi stop.

“There are no rentals on the fifth floor.” Qiu Mingdao, "the permanent residents here have cars, and people who do ordinary work are picked up and dropped off from work, and they are not allowed to wander around normally. More than two-thirds of the area on the fifth floor is private territory. ”

“It's enough to send a head. So what do we do? Can we go far? Can we go?” Electronic sheep beep.

“Don't worry, our company specializes in parking some vehicles in the parking lot of the station for employees to use and just drive past.” Qiu Mingdao.

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

Qiu Ming opened the door, made the gesture, the electronic sheep first got in the car, then Qiu Ming, and finally Zhang Heng sat in the co-driver's seat.

“Do you want to take a quick tour of the lower fifth floor?” Qiu Ming asked as he adjusted the front and rear mirrors.

“No, just take us directly to Xu Qian. Stop playing tricks.” Electronic sheep warn.

Qiu Ming looked at Zhang Heng's pistol in his waist and nodded, "It's up to you. ”

It was also the first time that an electronic sheep came to the fifth floor of space, saying it was fake to wonder, but because he was now focusing all his attention on how to rescue Xu Qian, he was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery along the way.

Even so, as Qiu Ming drove across the city, the electronic sheep looked out the window for a few moments.

He was disappointed. Like the station, the fifth floor was much simpler than he thought, and he always felt there was something missing in the street. At first, the electronic sheep thought it was a pedestrian, but he looked at it a few more times before suddenly. The reason he didn't feel comfortable was because he didn't see a billboard.

There are plenty of billboards on either side of the first or fourth floor of the street, or large or small, different shapes. The stars and commodities above are also very varied. Electronic sheep, as technology fever friends, usually get discounted on related products with activities. Only the fifth floor, nothing advertised can be seen. The whole city is unusually clean, large white walls, on the contrary, make the electronic sheep a little inappropriate, like walking on a desert.

Seems to know what he's thinking, Qiu Ming said, “It's not as lively here as usual. ”

“Why?”

“'Cause when you work… you need to concentrate, and you need to avoid unnecessary associations.” Qiu Mingdao.

“Unnecessary association? What an unnecessary association. ”

Qiu Ming did not continue to answer the question. He drove the car up a scenic hillside and saw a private area in the distance, where he was forbidden to enter without an invitation.

Qiu Ming ignored the sign and continued to drive forward, quickly reaching the first outpost.

After scanning his ID and work permit, Electronic Eye let the car go, so Qiu Ming continued to drive inside and arrived at the second post three minutes later. This time, not only Qiu Ming, Zhang Heng and Electronic Sheep of the company also showed the work certificate in hand, which was released.

“You can see how annoying this system is, it's actually my nightmare every Monday.” Qiu Ming did not forget to complain when he passed the second post.

He then drove the car straight up the hill, above which there was a villa estate, Qiu Ming did not stop, bypassed the villa, continued forward until the ground began to flatten, and began to go down again. E-sheet and Zhang Heng finally saw the destination of the trip.

Standing in a valley on the back of the hill, a huge gray building has been sighted over ten airports in a peculiar shape, looking like a giant ship preparing to sail against the wind, in addition to a tunnel connected to this complex on the other side of the hill, beneath a transparent tunnel, a van moving from place to place, looking incredibly busy.

“What is this place, a secret base hidden by the government? Or the Institute of Aliens.” The electronic sheep asked.

“Neither, this is the real headquarters of Shengtang Morgan's new Shanghai 0297.” Qiu Mingyuo.
