Evolution Beyond the Stars Volume 1 In the early years of Eden, Changchun City in Jilin Province has completed a comprehensive urban upgrade following the first batch of large and medium-sized urban transformation layouts.
Now the bus system on the streets has been completely handed over to the command system in the city center for operation. It can be regarded as the city in China that has truly realized a comprehensive driverless bus system.
Changchun, covered by a powerful wide-area 5G system, gives people a very unrealistic sci-fi feel.
Most people only carry interactive bracelets to share various services provided by the city's main network. Mobile phones have basically withdrawn from the life stage of local residents.
And all this is thanks to the "Artificial Intelligence 011" project located in Changchun eight years ago.
However, since the "Artificial Intelligence 011" project derived from "Jesse" was stopped, Changchun's development has also entered a period of stagnation.
People's appearance has also returned to a mixed state.
The local municipal government no longer emphasizes public transportation and has relaxed the activity area for private cars.
This allows bosses like Chen Jin to wander around the city without any problems...
…
Zheng Shaoye's driving skills are good, but when faced with the complex traffic system of big cities, it is inevitable that he will still be in a hurry.
This Jinqi car is also equipped with a 5G self-driving system that can be connected to the city center command system, but people who bought this car are all looking for its mechanical driving platform.
The traditional joy of driving can only be understood by those who really know how to drive.
And the feeling of controlling the vehicle is something that "self-driving" can never provide to passengers.
After walking safely around the city, Chen Jin suddenly said: "I just saw a teahouse with something Lilan written on its name. Do you remember it?"
Zheng Shaoye didn't think much and immediately replied: "I remember."
"Well, okay, let's turn around and go back to buy two cups of tea."
"good."
Zheng Shaoye followed Chen Jin's prompts and quickly found the convenient teahouse nestled in the corner of the street.
According to common sense, it is good to be able to drive calmly in an unfamiliar city, but Zheng Shaoye's performance surprised Chen Jin.
After taking the scented tea bought by Zheng Shaoye, he asked: "How are you familiar with the roads in the city?"
Zheng Shaoye: "That's almost it. These main roads look quite chaotic, but it'll be fine if you walk twice."
"Well, okay, let's not transfer and go directly to the old city."
"Old City?" Zheng Shaoye was stunned, and followed Chen Jin to send the coordinates to the car navigation system.
…
According to the navigation prompts, Zheng Shaoye drove Chen Jin to the so-called old city.
This place is deserted and can indeed be called old.
But facing the blockade, Zheng Shaoye was a little confused.
The old city abandoned after the main construction of Changchun New City was completed has been empty for three years. Nowadays, only some abandoned building material recyclers come here occasionally to demolish houses. Most of the time, the old city looks like an abandoned ghost town.
Zheng Shaoye also learned from the Internet that there have been many disappearances in the old city in recent years, and it has been listed as a no-entry area by the public security department. Why would Chen Jin let him drive here?
Just as I was wondering, two more cars came in the distance, and they were also 4WD powerhouses that retained the mechanical driving structure exactly like Zheng Shaoye's car.
After the three powerful cars lined up, Chen Jin said: "No matter what happens outside, you just need to remember to follow the car on your left. Do you understand?"
Zheng Shaoye was a little confused, but he understood.
"good."
"That's it, get ready to go." As he said that, Chen Jin took a box from beside him, opened it and saw that there was a combination rifle inside.
Zheng Shaoye was stunned.
Before he came here, he only heard that he was driving for the boss of a domestic service company, but he never heard that he could play with guns with this boss?
What's more, this is in China, where guns are very sensitive things, and illegal possession of guns will lead to jail time.
Chen Jin raised his head and glanced at Zheng Shaoye, then said: "Hold the steering wheel and don't fall behind."
Zheng Shaoye was shocked and asked in a trembling voice: "Boss, what are you..."
Chen Jin smiled and then said: "Don't worry, I'm not the leader of an illegal organization, but it's not convenient to explain to you in detail now, so just drive properly."
As he spoke, Chen Jin lowered the window and said to the person in the car on the left: "Hey, is the news accurate?"
The windows on the other side's front and rear were all rolled down.
The co-pilot is a white girl who looks a bit like a Russian.
The other one has an Asian face, a relatively calm middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man didn't say anything, and the white girl asked first: "Of course, but there are so many people in the company that you don't need, so why did you find an outsider to drive?"
Chen Jindao: "Do you know what a variable is?"
The white girl chuckled: "Oh, I know, just listen to her nonsense! Sooner or later, it will harm us all!"
Chen Jin didn't take it seriously. He lowered the car window on the right side and said to the people on the right: "Get ready to go."
The car on the right was also full of people. They only lowered the window a little, and then raised the window after taking a look at Chen Jin.
After everything was explained, Chen Jin looked at the slightly pale Zheng Shaoye in the rearview mirror and said, "Are you nervous?"
Zheng Shaoye has encountered many ruthless characters in society since he came out of the army, but they are just gangsters in the streets, how can they be scary like these people.
"It's okay..." Zheng Shaoye answered very difficultly.
Chen Jin took a deep breath, he was strictly following the instructions from his superiors.
Although he himself felt that this variable was completely nonsense...he still honestly involved Zheng Shaoye.
Very abrupt and illogical.
But this is what the organization requires.
"If you and I can return to the company alive, I can talk to you in detail while drinking in the evening."
These words are really inspiring...Zheng Shaoye instantly felt like he had fallen into a big pit.
He thought about running away, after all, he had the steering wheel in his hand, but the problem was that Chen Jin was sitting behind him with a gun in his hand, and he felt that there was no hope.
…
It's past one o'clock in the afternoon.
Zheng Shaoye, who was eating some bread in the car, suddenly noticed that Chen Jin's expression in the back seat turned cold.
When he was about to ask a question, Chen Jin made a silent gesture, and then took out the crystal plate next to him.
From Zheng Shaoye's perspective, we can't see what Chen Jin is doing.
But after a while, Chen Jin put down the crystal plate and said: "Follow the car on the left, let's go in."
Zheng Shaoye immediately started the car.
The engines roared, and then the three powerful vehicles were spaced five meters apart from each other and drove towards the old city in a single formation.
The current speed is thirty-five, which is relatively slow.
Although the old city is empty during the day, it does not give people an eerie feeling.
Zheng Shaoye paid attention to the houses on both sides, controlled his driving speed, and followed the car in front silently.
After advancing for about a kilometer, when the three vehicles came to the crossroads in the center of the old city, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from the left side of the convoy.
The sound was loud but disappeared quickly.
Zheng Shaoye had never heard the sound of gunshots in his whole life, so he was so frightened that he stepped on the accelerator.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and stopped before he almost hit the car in front.
Chen Jin was also startled, but he was frightened by Zheng Shaoye's kick on the accelerator.
He stabilized his body and said: "Don't panic, the car body is bulletproof. As long as you stay in the car, nothing will happen."
Zheng Shaoye broke into a cold sweat and nodded.
Then Chen Jin asked on the communication band: "Are they from us?"
"No, it should be the sentry from the National Security Department who was discovered."
"Oh? Did they send out a signal for help?"
"No, they should all be destroyed."
"Total destruction..."
"We are still two kilometers away from the target, so we can't delay here."
"keep going."
"receive."
When the communication ends here, the car in front starts moving forward again.
Zheng Shaoye hurriedly followed, and then he thought to himself: 'What's going on? The outpost of the National Security Department? Aren't those all very powerful people? They were all wiped out...'
"Drive carefully, don't be distracted." Chen Jin reminded, and Zheng Shaoye avoided the gravel on the road.
'Forget it... Now that you've come, make peace with it... He said everything will be fine in the car... What else am I afraid of...' Zheng Shaoye calmed down and quickly calmed down.
Chen Jin looked at it seriously from the back seat, smiled softly, and then asked like a casual conversation: "Your nickname is Young Master, right?"
Zheng Shaoye nodded: "Uh... um..."
"It's easy to remember. I'll call you Master from now on."
Zheng Shaoye felt a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Well, boss, you call me young master... I can't afford it..."
Chen Jin: "What's that? It's just a title. You can also call me Ah Jin. I'm actually not much older than you."
Ah Jin?!
Zheng Shaoye grinned, and then said: "Then I don't dare. I'd better call you boss, so I feel more comfortable."
Chen Jin did not force himself, nodded and asked again: "Master, do you believe there is a god in this world?"
Zheng Shaoye replied without hesitation: "I believe it."
"Oh why?"
Zheng Shaoye was stunned: "Ah?"
"I mean, why do you believe there is a god in this world?"
Zheng Shaoye: "Because many things cannot be explained clearly. For example, for me, when I was a child with my parents, I had constant ailments. At that time, the doctors couldn't figure out why. They also said that I would not live to be five years old. But then my grandfather
After asking around from an expert, they said that I was not designed to live in crowded places, and that I can only live comfortably in inaccessible places. As a result..."
"What's the result?"
Zheng Shaoye laughed: "In the end, I followed me to Wudang Mountain, and then I grew up so big in a daze."
Chen Jin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
…
Unknowingly, the convoy arrived near its destination.
This is already the center of the old city. It was originally a hypermarket.
But since the old city was abandoned, it has become the weirdest area in the center of the old city.
Because there have been rumors that "ghosts" have been seen here, and several disappearances have occurred in this area, the evaluation of this place on the Internet is even more consistent.
Now that the motorcade is parked here, Zheng Shaoye can't help but think of the so-called "ghost".
But Zheng Shaoye does not believe that there are really "ghosts" in this world.
