Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

"....." Director Lentz smiled awkwardly, "No, no, what I meant is, since you're all out, just treat it as a vacation. There's no need to follow me around 24 hours a day..."

"take a vacation..."

Bai Yu glanced at Yulia beside him. She looked worried and didn't look like she was on vacation.

-----------------

W Company.

Its full name is WARP Corporation, and it is a giant enterprise responsible for the entire city's transportation.

W Company's singularity is generally believed to be space transmission, and W Company will also promote it as such to the outside world.

Its main business is operating a mode of transportation called the W train.

This is a space-tearing technology that allows the train to travel in another dimension. In reality, no matter how far between two platforms, it only takes 10 seconds for it to reach its destination.

Of course, this is without any 'delay'.

Like all World Wings, its truth must never be known to the vast majority of people in the city...

At this moment, the vehicle Bai Yu and his companions were riding in had already driven into the huge shadow of the W Building.

There are a constant stream of vehicles passing by nearby, but what is strange now is that the equipment that automatically detects vehicles has been shut down for some reason.

Such behavior not only leads to extremely low entry and exit efficiency, but also requires manual inspection of every car entering the venue.

“Stop…”

So at this huge entrance, several staff members wearing blue baseball caps stopped them.

"Show me your ID."

The leader seemed to have a bad temper, but before the driver rolled down the window, he had already pulled out a weapon that looked like an electric baton.

"Why are you all carrying weapons? Get out of the car!"

Obviously, he saw the EGO equipment that Bai Yu and the others carried with them.

After hearing the leader's words, the other W Company employees around them also nervously drew their weapons and moved forward.

"Are we going to fight?"

Komini looked at Bai Yu somewhat bewilderedly. This was the first time she had seen such a scene.

"No..." Bai Yu explained lightly.

He saw Director Lentz had taken out a document...

In addition, he did not think that conventional weapons in the city could compete with EGO equipment.

The documents were handed to them through the car window.

The moment he saw the document, the leading staff member's pupils shrank noticeably.

"It's from L Company..."

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!"

Completely different from their previous attitude, these staff members now hurriedly shouted into the intercom on their chests, "A distinguished guest has arrived, quickly clear Route 3..."

"What? Now you care where those cars go?!"

"Don't bother with it! We're both going to lose our jobs!!"

The work was so clean and efficient that it was terrifying. The procedures for opening the gate and letting people in were completed in just a few seconds.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm really sorry! Because these are extraordinary times..."

When leaving, the leading staff member was still sweating.

He jogged all the way, following the car and trying his best to explain to Director Lentz.

"Please be magnanimous and don't tell the Minister..."

Chapter 40 Acquaintance?

"Sir, this job is really important to people like us..."

From a jog to a fast run, the W employee really wanted to know whether this adult he couldn't afford to offend cared.

But unlike his friendly attitude towards Bai Yu and the others, Director Lentz ignored him and just rolled up the car window coldly.

"Sir! First..."

The car has very good sound insulation. When the windows are closed tightly, the voices of people outside cannot be heard at all.

As the driver accelerated the car onto Route 3, the W employee who was chasing him outside could no longer catch up.

In the rearview mirror, Bai Yu saw the W Company employee kneeling on the ground.

"Is our L company so prestigious?"

Komini was a little surprised. As an employee who had only lived in K Nest, she didn't know why the employee from W Company suddenly collapsed.

"Nonsense! Without our L Company providing a large amount of energy, could W Company's W Train, a time-travel technology, be applied to the entire city?"

Yulia leaned her whole back against the car seat and explained to the junior listlessly.

"For many companies, the energy provided by our Lobotomy Corporation has become an indispensable part of their supply chain... If we offend L Company, these employees at W Company will probably have a hard time..."

"oh oh...."

The topic soon ended, and in the quiet car, Bai Yu just leaned against the window and watched the traffic lights on Route 3 passing by one after another...

He was only curious about one thing.

What could possibly force W Company to be so hypersensitive that they would rather give up efficiency, which is the most important aspect of transportation, and manually check each vehicle one by one...

After driving for a while.

The car full of L Company employees finally drove into a huge employee entrance dedicated to W Company.

The place was filled with W Company employees wearing various weapons and equipment and blue uniforms. They took elevator after elevator back to the headquarters, and then took elevator after elevator to go to various platforms to work...

Standing among this crowd, there was only one old man who was different from the others.

He was wearing a suit, which made him stand out among the all-blue uniforms of W Company.

At this time, all the people from L Company also got off the bus here.

"Artemis Lenz, long time no see," the old man in a suit in front of him greeted him with a smile.

"Old Aaron, are you back from your vacation at U-Nest?"

Manager Lentz seemed to be very familiar with the person in front of him. After a few casual greetings, he got straight to the point.

"What's going on outside? It wasn't like this when I came here three months ago."

"...something happened in the nest recently, causing panic among the people. Even the security of the W train has to be strengthened." The old man Aaron shook his head. "I hope those guys outside didn't give you any trouble..."

“It’s a good thing that security is tighter…”

As the two company executives spoke, they walked towards the elevator.

As guards, Bai Yu and his companions did not interrupt the conversation between the two company executives.

And what they talked about was quite normal. After all, they wouldn't say here things that they couldn't let outsiders know.

After following them all the way to the elevator door, Old Aaron seemed to realize their presence and said with a polite smile, "Lentz, does your L Company need so many people to accompany you to sign the contract?"

"Ha ha..."

Director Lentz was also a little embarrassed at the moment. He also knew that it was very impolite to allow so many armed L Company employees to enter the internal area of W Company.

So he instructed Bai Yu and the others, "You guys just wait here for a while, I'll be down in a few hours."

"Eh... That's unnecessary. We're all Wings of the World employees, serving the city. How can you be so..." Old Aaron said, and then he called out to the W employee who had just emerged from the elevator, "Rose! Your team should stop working for now and take these guests for a walk..."

"Stationmaster, we have other tasks..." A blue-haired woman led two other employees and walked up to old Aaron carrying a variety of tools.

"Put it aside for now, there will be others to take over your work later..."

"Yes... Strictly follow the orders from our superiors!"

..........

The W train is the exact opposite of Earth's high-speed rail.

As a "god-level" vehicle that does not require tracks and does not make any noise, the W train's platform is often designed at the very center of each nest to facilitate the operation of the city.

Now, Bai Yu and others, who had said goodbye to Manager Lentz at the elevator entrance, came to the departure platform of the W train under the guidance of Rose.

The rules of the W train are very strange. People entering and leaving the station are divided into two cars. It is claimed that this is to facilitate cleaning by the staff... Therefore, generally speaking, no non-working people can see the W train that has just left the station.

Although some people in the city might be surprised, they would also comfort themselves - 'Tens of millions of people take the W train in the city every day, what could possibly happen?'

Then continue riding with peace of mind...

Of course, this is also for the sake of ordinary people in the city. After all, the W train is an irreplaceable means of transportation in the city.

But if you see those 'passengers' who, over the past millennia, have chosen to sew their flesh and blood 'from the inside out' to the walls, I guess no one would dare to continue riding this kind of vehicle.

For the sake of the city and the people living in it, this is also an unavoidable choice.

In front of the employees of L Company, Rose deliberately used the usual tactics of W Company...

"The train will leave the cleaning shop and passengers will wait for staff to unbuckle their seatbelts before they can get off the train..."

There must be something fishy going on, but the L Company employees behind her didn't care. After all, which World Wing didn't have hidden secrets...

Even Bai Yu just wanted to ask the question that he had always cared about.

"Rose, can we talk about what happened in W Nest? After all, your company..."

Just when he had finished speaking halfway, the gate of the cleaning workshop not far away opened, and with a loud noise, a W train drove up to the platform in front of them.

"Puff..."

The next second, the carriage door opened and a huge group of people walked out...

"Wow... the W train's reputation is well-deserved!"

"That's amazing! It didn't even take 10 seconds..."

"It's just... I feel like my hands have become a little lighter. Do you feel the same?"

Life in the city was very busy. Everyone got off the W train in a hurry and immediately separated Bai Yu and his group.

'...'

Bai Yu was standing in the crowd and could no longer see Yulia and the others.

"Do you really have to interrupt me when I'm talking about something?"

He really wanted to sigh and ask Rose for clarification, but in this crowd, it was too troublesome to force his way through.

"Let's wait until most of the people have left before looking for them..."

After 30 seconds, there were obviously fewer people on the platform.

Just as Bai Yu was looking for Rose and the others again, he suddenly stopped...

Two black figures in the crowd about 3 meters away caught his attention.

'....'

"Hmm...what a coincidence."

Bai Yu couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that on this W train, he actually saw two "acquaintances"...

His eyes were fixed on them, and he could even distinguish their conversations among the crowd.

The gray-haired woman who had just gotten off the bus seemed to be in a good mood and stretched while standing at the door.

"....How about we finish lunch before going to work?"

The other man, wearing a pure black mask, walked towards the exit with a knife in his hand, very unromantic, "Let's go, we still have a mission..."

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? It's my treat..."

"It's been two years. It's time to end this onerous task."

"Alas...Roland..."
