Chapter 17 Someone’s coming, there’s a thief!

The hover car continued to move forward, and after it was far away from the forest behind it, several people on the car breathed a sigh of relief.

Nadu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, furtively glanced back at Shu Mo. Shu Mo rubbed his face and asked as if he had just come back to his senses, "Where are you?"

Nadu turned to look at the navigation system and said: "We're almost at the central elevator."

Shu Mo was finally a little more excited, but at the same time he was a little worried about the life at the top. But he didn't show this. Nadu looked at him from the front, as if he was hesitant to speak, but before he spoke, Maya wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued: "Oh my god, I was really scared just now. Dead people."

Under Shu Mo's gaze, Maya took out a detector from her arms, and then he saw: In the forest just now, the detector sounded at least dozens of times, and the level of pollutants detected was Almost exceeding the standard, when Maya saw that they encountered at least dozens of second-level pollutants, a dozen third-level pollutants, several fourth-level pollutants, and finally fifth-level pollutants, he silently put down the detector, and then rubbed himself eyes, and then took another look.

Maya: "Walking this way is just like a dream."

Nadu looked back, and then his expression changed to "???".

Shu Mo slowly took the detector and met Maya's almost shocked expression. He coughed slightly uncomfortably and said, "At least nothing happened to us."

Nadu said, "I have been a hunter for at least ten years. This is the first time I have encountered this situation. To be honest, it is really rare for so many pollutants to gather together. "

Shu Mo said, "What happened?" He looked back. That forest, however, found that it was getting further and further away from that area. The gathering of such large pollutants was enough to cause a disaster. The only good news was that those things seemed to be temporarily trapped in that area. Shu Mo could only hope that the hunters on the fifth floor could deal with this problem as soon as possible, but the dark premonition in his heart told him that this situation might be just the beginning.

But these problems were no longer something they could interfere with. After such a long journey, the group finally arrived at the central elevator. Guards stood in front of the door blocking the way. Maya signaled for him to come, and the man rummaged through his old box. After flipping through it, he took out a document. The guard took it for confirmation and handed it back. Then he stepped back, took off his hat and saluted the vehicle.

"I wish you a safe journey."

The guards held long guns. Inside their hollow heads were floating energy cores. They walked slowly forward on strange high heels. They are the mechanical guards stationed here. The latest invention of Life Factory is engraved on them. The green pattern on her body was the logo of Life Factory. Maya took the things back and asked Nadu to find a place to get off the car: "We can only walk for the next section."

This was Shu Mo's first time in the central elevator. , this is the transfer station for each floor, and it is also the only way to get to the upper floors. Guards can be seen everywhere patrolling here almost day and night. The entire building is covered with colorful window grilles, reflecting various brilliant lights on the floor. Walking in here is almost like walking into another world. The long queue stretches all the way, and many people are waiting here, hoping to get the qualifications to go to the high-rise.

Shu Mo was about to go together, but Nadu stretched out his hand to stop him: "Let's go this way."

Maya took him into another corridor with few people. It wasn't until he entered the room that Shu Mo realized: So this is This is the legendary VIP channel.

"People outside are waiting for the passes issued by the higher-ups." Maya explained: "The second floor will occasionally send out a few quotas, so that people on the lower floors can hope to go to the upper floors, but in fact those quotas are basically reserved ."

Maya shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Some people at the lower level desperately want to go to the upper level, but they are just as bad wherever they go."

His words were very straightforward. When Shu Mo thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was true. reason.

"But you don't need a pass," Maya said: "After all, you are a talent designated by the adults."

"How are you, are you happy?" Maya winked at him.

Shu Mo said: "Can I refuse?"

Maya quickly said: "No."

After saying this, they also walked into the hall. The decoration here was even more gorgeous, as if they were afraid that Shu Mo would run away. Maya took He hurried to the central elevator in front. This behemoth ran through the entire tower like a giant fortress. The elevator in the middle was covered with complex patterns, like a sleeping giant.

Maya and Nadu squeezed the people in one after another. Shu Mo was sandwiched between them. Looking at the expressions of the two people, he laughed and said, "Are you still afraid that I will run away now?"

Nadu said: "Yes."

Maya said, "We will catch you if you run away."

Shu Mo: "I'm just saying..."

At this moment, the central elevator started, and the floor under their feet lit up again and again. A circle of lines, the guard standing in front of the door bowed deeply to them, and then said: "Welcome to the second floor."

Nadu said: "Stand firm."

In an instant, the elevator finally started, feeling weightless When it came, Shu Mo's eyes widened and he found that his feet had left the ground and were floating in the air. Maya on the side seemed used to it. Nadu's red hair almost fell apart. After a few seconds of weightlessness, the gravity in the elevator returned to normal. Nadu fell to the ground and supported Shu Mo beside him, saying to him. : "Look outside."

"The third floor is here."

Shu Mo turned around, and then saw a scene that shocked him: the entire elevator seemed to be in the clouds, and as if it had fallen into an upside-down sea. The entire third floor There was nothing else but a sea of ​​clouds covering the entire world, with layers of waves rolling in. As the elevator passed quickly through it, I saw that the color of the sea around me was getting darker and darker, eventually changing from blue to blue. Black, then slowly turned to white. Finally, the elevator rushed out of the sea, and then they saw an endless cloud layer and the ubiquitous rainbow light.

"There is nothing else on the third floor of the tower, only this sea of ​​clouds." Maya said, "Does it look good?" Shu

Mo nodded. Next to him, Nadu held a hairband between his teeth and tied his hair with a frown. Maya walked over and tied it up for him. After Shu Mo leaned against the window and admired it for a while, the elevator took them further upwards. Finally, the central elevator reached the end: the second floor was arrived.

"We're here." Maya signaled Shu Mo to go out first. When he walked out, he felt like he had entered another world: everyone here was wearing extremely exquisite and beautiful clothes, with lazy and calm expressions, like a group of people. A nobleman in the Middle Ages, Shu Mo even watched a woman in a long skirt walking by holding a pet. The surrounding guards saluted the passers-by. The highest technology of the Life Factory guided each nobleman to the hall.

Shu Mo stared at it for a while and suddenly felt a strong contrast.

He continued to walk forward, and a staff member was checking the documents of the visitor. Several people in front of Shu Mo had excited expressions on their faces. After reading their documents, the waiter showed a cordial smile: "Welcome to Second floor. "

It was Shu Mo's turn. He handed over his ID card. This time the waiter paused for two seconds. She raised her face and glanced at Shu Mo. Then she lowered her head and retrieved information from the central computer. Finally, the waiter paused for two seconds, then smiled and confirmed, "Sir Shu Mo, right?"

Shu Mo nodded, and the waiter handed his documents back, then bowed: "Welcome back. Second floor, Lord Shu Mo."

The woman's smile looked very sweet. Shu Mo was silent for two seconds before taking the thing in her hand and saying thank you to the person.

Nadu and Maya behind him quickly followed, unanimously ignoring the little thing that had just happened. They finally reached the second floor. After leaving the reception hall, what they saw was a slightly dim sky that was completely different from the fifth floor.

Pieces of vague dark clouds gathered above the clean and tidy streets. The sunlight was blocked and appeared blurry. The sun in the sky seemed to be eroded by something and looked very dim. Even the air seemed gray and dirty.

Walking in front of Shu Mo, the two people who were holding indescribable excitement walked out of the hall and saw this scene, and they froze on the spot in confusion.

"How does it feel to be on the second floor?" Maya said, carrying her shabby suitcase, "So I said, no matter where you go, it's essentially the same shit."

Shu Mo asked with some confusion: "Why is the sky so dark? ?"

Nadu said: "It's always been like this." He looked down at the time and said, "Oh no, we're late, let's go to the research institute."

A group of people hurriedly ran towards the research institute . , In fact, Shu Mo still doesn’t fully understand what he is here to do, but he is also being dragged madly in the direction of the research institute. Maya even looks like she wants to put two more legs on her legs. They go all the way. Running wildly, Shu Mo was finally sent outside the research institute. The black-haired young man was pushed in with a blank look on his face. Maya and Nadu wanted to follow, but they were blocked outside, so the two of them could only stand outside and watch. Looking at him, the silver-haired man wearing a hat straightened the hat on his head and said to Shu Mo: "I wish you all the best."

Nadu handed the document in his hand to him, and Shu Mo took it and looked at it. It was found to be a letter of recommendation marked with a Greek badge.

"Give this to the director of the research institute." After Nadu finished speaking, he hesitated: "Don't worry about your identity. As long as you give the letter of introduction to the director, no one will 'handle' this matter. You ."

"What on earth am I going to do?" Now, Shu Mo couldn't help but ask. The two of them looked at each other and said, "Didn't Mr. Xi tell you?"

You want to become a breeder of very scary monsters."

"This is your new job."

Shu Mo, who successfully upgraded from a cleaner to a breeder, said, "Huh?"

Looking at his blank expression, Nadu comforted him. : "Don't worry, we believe you can do it."

Shu Mo: "No, I don't think I can do it."

Maya: "Believe in yourself, Master Shu Mo!"

Shu Mo still wanted to stay, but the result was already The two people were ready to leave. They could not stay in the research institute for too long. In the distance, the figures of Nadu and Maya were walking further and further away. The red-haired man turned back and waved to him.

I don't know why, but Shu Mo had a good impression of them, but he had to face the next thing alone. The black-haired young man sighed helplessly, and then limped towards the research institute. An experimenter soon appeared and stopped him, asking him what he was doing here.

Just as Shu Mo was about to speak, he noticed that the laboratory seemed a bit chaotic at this time. Many staff members looked a little disgraced, and some even had blood stains on their faces. The experimenter looked at him very warily, as if he was wondering whether Shu Mo who broke into the institute at this time was some escaped contaminant.

Shu Mo could only take out the document that had just been handed to him. The experimenter took it with suspicion. On the document, a golden seal flashed across the document. This seemed to attract the attention of something. Their actions Halfway through, Shu Mo suddenly saw a spider-like thing with several mechanical legs and a golden eyeball on the ceiling dangling above it, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked this way.

The next second, this eye walked all the way from the ceiling towards Shu Mo like no one else, and then fell directly on... Shu Mo's hand holding the document.

"...?"

The spider-like creature turned around in his hand and stared at the seal on the document with the eyes behind it. Before it looked carefully, Shu Mo raised his face and looked at the seal in front of him. The experimenter glanced at it and then asked doubtfully: "What is this?"

"This...this..."

The experimenter immediately stretched out his hand and stepped back. When he saw the spider, it looked like he had seen a ghost. Shu Mo thought to himself that this could not be... What contaminants just came out? He stared blankly into the eyes in front of him. After a few seconds of confrontation, Spider suddenly grabbed the document in Shu Mo's hand, and then grabbed the document on the spot, preparing to directly slip.

Thief!

"You can't take this!"

Shu Mo quickly stretched out his hand and started to pull with the spider. There was a stalemate between one person and one spider. The experimenter was stunned. He didn't know whether he should stop it or not. That's it. After wrestling with it, Shu Mo simply lifted the document up, and then directly grabbed its body under the gaze of that eye.

"Don't move!" The thing in his hand struggled, and Shu Mo had to yell in a low voice. The experimenter then asked Shu Mo to let go, as if he had just woken up from a dream. When the situation became extremely chaotic, Shu Mo held the thing in his hand and heard a whisper from behind him:

"What are you doing?
