Chapter 513 Different Fate
The same world.
Under the same sky.
However, their lives are completely different.
Unable to persuade her brother, Sofia simply used a holiday trip as an excuse to bring her parents over from Naples. As for her brother who was unwilling to accept the favor of the Sapiens Company, she was too lazy to care.
The plane landed smoothly at Naples Airport.
Simmons and Sophia got off the plane and looked at the depressed city. Several taxi drivers approached them with ill intentions.
Simmons took out his wallet and opened his Sapiens employee card.
Suddenly, the faces of several taxi drivers changed slightly, and then they immediately retreated to the side of the taxi, pretending that nothing had happened.
As an employee of the Intelligent Company, this identity has a very strong deterrent effect.
Since the new humans have biochips and various biotechnologies applied to their bodies, every employee of the Homo Sapiens Company cannot afford to make mistakes.
These gangsters in Naples don't want to be targeted by the Homo Sapiens Company.
Even the people from the Black Ship did not dare to take action against Simmons and Sophia. After all, the consequences of doing so were something their boss behind the scenes could not bear.
Bought the ticket at the station outside the airport.
Sophia held the bus ticket and waved it in her hand speechlessly: "Can't they upgrade it? It's still an antique from decades ago."
"Just bear with it!" Simmons patted his wife on the back.
After a while, the bus arrived.
When I got on the bus, there weren't many people on it.
Simmons casually asked the old driver: "There should be a lot of passengers on the bus before, but now it's rush hour, why are there not many passengers?"
The experienced driver turned the steering wheel slightly and said: "The prices are too high. Some people choose to walk home instead of taking the bus to save money, and they also save money on going to the gym."
"I see?"
Sofia looked at the bleak street scene outside the window. She could only pray for this place: "I hope the prices in Naples can recover as soon as possible!"
An aunt in the same car smiled bitterly and said, "Child, don't be naive. There have been snowstorms in eastern and northern Europe. Agricultural production there must have decreased. It will be difficult for prices to maintain the current level."
"The recent weather is really abnormal."
“Hopefully it will heat up soon!”
"God save Europa!"
On the bus, many people were worried.
The current level of human technology is indeed unable to resist such a large-scale natural disaster.
Even if we have the technology to artificially synthesize starch, sucrose, etc., this technology requires a lot of energy. Before the controlled nuclear fusion power generation technology becomes practical, the artificial food technology of natural humans is not as good as the semi-artificial food technology of Homo sapiens.
Of course, if the four major forces of the free world are pushed into a corner, they will most likely vigorously promote the application of artificial synthetic food technology.
As for the energy consumption problem, the worst that can happen is to add dozens of nuclear power plants or increase the production of natural gas to get through the difficult times before dealing with other issues.
The bus swayed on the bumpy road for more than twenty minutes and finally arrived near Sophia's parents' apartment building.
Simmons and Sophia get off the bus.
The two of them went upstairs without any hesitation.
After knocking on the door, the wooden door creaked and slowly opened.
"..." Sophia's mother widened her eyes.
"Mom!" Sophia opened her arms and hugged her mother tightly.
The mother excitedly said: "Oh! That's great, Sophia!"
"Mom, Sophia, let's go inside and talk!" Simmons said with a smile.
Entering the living room, the mother and daughter, who had not seen each other for more than a year, began chatting away.
Simmons went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. He found that there were not many vegetables and fruits in the refrigerator. He remembered that 20 kilograms of vegetables and fruits had just been mailed a few days ago.
"Mom, didn't you receive the vegetables and fruits we mailed to you?" Simmons asked, sticking his head out of the kitchen.
But my mother-in-law shook her head and said: "I gave some to the neighbors. They are in great difficulty."
Simmons was helpless and didn't know what to say.
In the evening, my brother-in-law Matthew and my father-in-law Aosta also returned home.
Brother- in-law Matthew never had a good attitude towards his sister Sophia and brother-in-law Simmons.
Especially when Sophia suggested taking her parents on a trip, he stood up angrily: "Sophia, what do you mean? Do you want to take Mom and Dad to that horrible hell? I won't allow you to do that! Never!"
"Brother, aren't you living in hell now?" Sophia mocked directly.
Matthew blushed and said, "Don't quibble. I admit that Europe is facing some problems now, but we have freedom."
"Haha, freedom? Can freedom be eaten as pizza?" Sophia retorted bluntly.
"I won't agree to that..." Matthew roared angrily.
Sophia put her hands on her hips and said, "Since you said freedom, then I am free to take my parents over. Mom has diabetes and needs dialysis. Can you afford it? My brother!"
“…” Matthew opened his mouth, then looked at his mother who looked unhappy, and his father who had been silent. He couldn’t say anything against it.
Simmons secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his brother-in-law had no way to refuse.
At this time, as another key point of this matter, father-in-law Osta also slowly spoke: "Matthew, let me and your mother go on a trip for a while! You have been under too much pressure recently. Don't be angry with Sofia, she is also doing this for us."
Osta actually had some unspoken words. The money he earned from working was barely enough for his wife's dialysis and medicine.
In recent years, the rest of the family expenses have been supported by their son Matthew.
If prices were the same as before, Matthew, a small designer, could live a relatively wealthy life.
But now prices have suddenly soared several times, and are showing a trend of continuing to rise. Matthew's income is no longer enough to support the expenses of a family of three.
Now the old couple doesn't want to put too much pressure on their son. If there are two less expenses, Matthew can live an easier life.
It was a simple dinner and the family ate very slowly and quietly.
No words were spoken that night.
Early the next morning, Sofia helped her parents pack some simple luggage and then went to the airport.
But Matthew went to work as usual and did not come to see him off.
Sophia didn't want to say anything about this stubborn brother, so she could only chat with her parents about family matters while Simmons went to buy the plane ticket.
Since they had a seven-day vacation, the Simmons couple did not plan to go back to Nemanya, but instead planned to fly directly to the Red Sea.
A Phoenix passenger plane owned by Suez Air is parked on a special apron.
This is also a situation that airports around the world must accept at present, that is, to allow the aircraft of the Homo Sapiens company to stand out.
Because the Phoenix airliner has many secrets, in order to maintain confidentiality, the various airlines under the Homo Sapiens Corporation have jointly established a global aviation ground handling company and stationed professional personnel to be stationed at international airports around the world for a long time.
Naples Airport has its own ground crew belonging to the Homo Sapiens company, which is dedicated to inspecting and refueling Phoenix aircraft.
Soon a Phoenix airliner took off from Naples Airport.
The destination of this plane is the Port of Honk Airport in the Suez region.
As a tropical coastal city, there are many supporting tourist facilities.
