Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

11:53 AM, Lobotomy Corporation Control Hallway Elevator.

Just as Angela said, the order for the mission was issued at 10 o'clock.

He didn't explicitly say he was going out for a few days... He just said he was sending Artemis Lenz to further discuss cooperation with W Company...

I don't know if there's some conflict in the sale of energy or something else...

Bai Yu was not aware of this matter...Now, he was just sitting on the bench at the elevator door, taking the last step to count the bottles and jars in his backpack.

‘...手榴弹7枚，弱效治疗药水5瓶，铁皮药水2瓶、隐身药水2瓶、重力药水2瓶.....’

Although Angela said that this mission could be treated as a business trip.

But in this city, no matter if it's useful or not, he decided to take some with him.

If a conflict is unavoidable, it would be a good idea to buff yourself before the battle...

"Senior? What's in your backpack?"

Well...he's not the only one assigned as a guard...

Hearing the movement beside him, Bai Yu slowly raised his head.

There are two more, Komini and Yulia...

Among them, he named Komini.

It's not just because he needs a 'tour guide' who is relatively familiar with the nest.

Moreover, if he left her here, he was afraid that the child would go to Terra alone to find a guide and die there.

He didn't want to find a tombstone with the words 'Comini invented gravity' on it while digging in the mines someday...

"Bai Yu, have you also received a task from your supervisor?"

The other elite from the Control Department was different from this kid. Yulia was just carrying the Frost Fragment. She didn't care what was in his backpack and simply asked.

"Do you know what we're going to do this time?"

"I'm not sure." Bai Yu stood up after zipping up his backpack. "Let's just talk business. After all, the business that W Company is responsible for requires a lot of energy, so expanding the scale of energy imports from L Company is not impossible."

"..."

When she heard the name of W Company, Yulia's face turned pale. Her mission instructions did not say that she had to work for W Company...

Bai Yu noticed her abnormality and asked, "You don't like W Company?"

"That's about right, although I used to live in W Nest..."

As she was talking, Yulia suddenly frowned, as if she remembered something bad, and waved her hand, obviously wanting to end the topic.

Bai Yu was tactful and didn't ask any more questions.

Within a few minutes, as the watch hands reached 12:00, the elevator door next to them opened on time.

"Hello everyone."

Director Lentz, who wore square glasses and a light gray suit, stood in the elevator and smiled meekly.

This time he at least wore a white coat, as if trying to look more like the head of a lobotomy company.

"It seems that it is the employees who are keeping me safe?"

"Yes, Director Lentz."

Bai Yu nodded, but there was no substantial expression on his face.

The other two walked into the elevator leading to the surface without saying a word.

After all, the entire W-0001 branch has no good or bad feelings towards this indifferent supervisor.

Director Lentz smiled, but did not show any dissatisfaction. He just stretched out his finger and pushed his square-framed glasses.

"Hehe... Then I'll leave it to you all..."

The elevator was as smooth as ever, and it was as quiet inside as ever.

Only this time, it leads to the ground...

As the number showing the floor grew larger and larger, Bai Yu's heartbeat gradually quickened.

Since the first day he arrived at Lobotomy Corporation, he has never seen the real sunlight again...

......-1→1.

This is the final floor change.

With a 'ding dong' sound.

Cold air rushed in the moment the elevator door opened.

White, neat, simple...

This is the lobby of Lobotomy Corporation's W-0001 branch.

Whether they want to admit it or not, each of these lobe workers working underground couldn't help but feel joy in their hearts when they knew they were back on the surface again.

“Come with me…”

Manager Lentz was the first to walk out of the elevator. This high-ranking manager was much more familiar with the outside world than his employees.

Leading Bai Yu and the others through the lobby, everyone who saw him would greet him...

But when he reached the gate, Bai Yu suddenly stopped.

I don’t know what material the company’s gate is made of, but from here, you can still clearly see the scene outside.

The weather in Nest W was very good at the moment. Opposite the Lobotomy Corporation branch, not far from the main street, the sun illuminated the crowds of people walking along it...

The nest's inhabitants are happy, or so it seems...

Parents were shopping with their children, employees from some unknown company were rushing to work with briefcases in hand, and students were discussing the upcoming exams with their friends...

"Is this the W Nest?"

If you just look at this scene, no one would believe that this is a chaotic and crazy world.

Therefore, this beautiful everyday scene forms a sharp contrast with the dark and gloomy working environment of the Brain Organization.

At this moment, Bai Yu felt extremely...

unreal.

'....'

'It's unreal.'

"Everyone in this world is living in hell, so why do they look so happy..."

"senior?"

Komini noticed Bai Yu's distraction and was thinking about waking him up.

"Don't worry about him, he just stayed underground for too long..."

Yulia was much calmer. Although she had also been there for a long time, as a resident who had always lived in W Nest, she was not so shocked.

Therefore, she simply stopped Comini's behavior, and Director Lentz was also very considerate and did not urge her.

"Let him rest in this shock for a while. He won't be able to get this feeling back in the future..."

Yes, Bai Yu did stay underground for too long, 100 days, 2400 hours...

This is still a bit too torturous for a normal person from Earth.

It was not until a minute later that Bai Yu sighed.

He closed his eyes slightly and finally figured out his strangeness.

It was this unreality that made Bai Yu realize that in this nest, everyone had a variety of expressions on their faces, but the only thing in common remained unchanged.

What is engraved in people's bones - fatigue.

Chapter 39 W Company

tired....

This should be the most intuitive expression of urban people...

People are living in mediocrity, but they cannot see their dreams and future...

After losing his dreams and original intention, he could only compromise with the whole city...

Here, the light has gone out in people's hearts, and all they do in name only to live is just living.

"Ah..." Bai Yu's thoughts gradually returned to normal. He smiled apologetically at the other three people and said, "Sorry, I was distracted..."

Knowing that he had wasted some time, he took the lead, pushed open the door, and walked straight into the sunlight outside.

"let's go..."

I have to say that the greening work done by this branch of the Lobotomy Corporation is quite good.

After walking across a lot of lawn, they finally saw the high-end black car parked on the parking lot.

"Well, bodyguards, get in the car," Director Lentz smiled and patted the car body. Without any unnecessary movements, the car door opened by itself.

But it was not until he got in the car that Bai Yu discovered that there was already a driver in the vehicle.

At first, he was a little surprised. The huge city of Singularity had countless technologies, but why didn't it even have autonomous driving?

But Bai Yu reacted quickly.

The city has always followed a principle - "people-oriented".

It means literally that if a job can be done by humans, machines should never be allowed to do it. Even if a job cannot be done by humans, humans should do it!

This seems to be because... there was an intelligent machine rebellion in the past, which caused the leader's distrust of machines to reach such a level that a special urban taboo had to be issued.

What about autonomous driving, AI intelligence...

Aside from a few World Wings, I'm afraid few civilian workshops would dare to manufacture them... And even those wings wouldn't dare to openly display them and go against the leader...

This world is just like the last sentence of the introduction of the EGO equipment 'Crusher MK4' that he is wearing now.

'The rebellion of machines is no longer a threat to modern society.'

........

And now, Director Lentz took the co-pilot seat.

Bai Yu sat on the left side of the back row, with Yulia in the middle and Komini on the right.

The professional driver of the Lobotomy Corporation has already maneuvered the vehicle slowly into the traffic flow on the road.

On the way to W Company headquarters.

He looked out the car window...

Next to the busy road is a city with a strong sense of technology. The buildings in the W Nest are basically blue and black, but the excellent urban planning does not give people an overly depressing feeling.

The most eye-catching thing about the entire nest is probably the giant building standing in the center of the nest...

Bai Yu raised his perspective slightly and could see this huge creature...

This is the destination of their trip.

The headquarters of W Company is a core building complex that is fully responsible for research, training, and transportation.

The entire W Nest is planned around this huge building complex. The W company logo designed on the top of the building will be lit up at night, and the dazzling blue light can be seen clearly even in the back alley.

It will clearly tell everyone who is the master of W Nest...

"Oh, I really don't understand why Master A suddenly arranged for you to protect us?"

There was silence in the car, and in this situation, Director Lentz suddenly spoke.

As if he was afraid that the atmosphere would become too awkward, he took the initiative to start talking.

"It's clearly just a simple business negotiation, but it's actually a bit too much of a fuss..."

But unfortunately, Bai Yu was the only one who responded to him in the entire vehicle.

"Does the supervisor think we are redundant?"
