Chapter Summary
If underground maintenance was convenient, the tracks would be placed underground; if the terrain didn't allow it, they could be placed outside. In Liu Ning's carriage, there was even a War God-level expert. In small cities, a War God-level expert was considered one of the most powerful figures; why would they take such a railcar?
Zhao Wudi and his daughter knew about Liu Ning's arrangements, so they didn't say anything. Not far from their location was an underground rail station, similar to the subway before the cataclysm. If underground maintenance was convenient, the tracks would be placed underground; if the terrain didn't allow it, they could be placed outside. Either way, it would require a huge amount of money. Liu Ning went to buy a ticket with his ID information, and the 32-kilometer distance cost a whopping 105 yuan! Was this even normal urban transportation? Liu Ning couldn't believe the price. In his memory, these kinds of tracks only cost a few yuan. Life in Beijing was truly difficult. To survive here, without some serious skills, it was practically impossible. At this price, Liu Ning wondered how people in Beijing managed to get around.
The railcar was quite fast. Liu Ning only waited a short while on the platform before another train arrived. He checked his ticket and immediately boarded using the electronic ticket check. The seats were decent, though not particularly spacious. This was mainly because most people in the city rode these railcars. Even if you were of high status, if you were in a hurry, you'd likely have to endure the commotion. Even if you had an expensive car, you might not make it in time. So, this situation was common. In Liu Ning's carriage, there was even a War God-level expert. This was completely different from ordinary small cities. In small cities, a War God-level expert was considered one of the most powerful figures; why would they take such a railcar? But in the capital, it was a very common occurrence. If you didn't want to, you could simply get off.
Over the 30-plus kilometers, Liu Ning took the train for about a dozen stops. As they neared their destination, Liu Ning noticed the train was moving very fast, even speeding along the ground for a while. Looking at the cars outside, which resembled ants, Liu Ning felt his choice was absolutely correct. He wondered what the outcome would have been if he had been driving a car elsewhere. He felt incredibly fortunate; otherwise, things would have been very different. Liu Ning noticed the train was getting increasingly crowded. This place was different from the other side. Liu Ning lived in a core business district where people were quite wealthy. This area seemed to be a middle-class community, primarily populated by researchers. It was a scientific hub, where almost anyone could potentially hold a doctorate.
After getting off the railcar, Liu Ning immediately sensed that the people here were different. Their attire alone revealed this; they were all very meticulous, many wearing identical clothes adorned with the distinctive logos of their respective research institutes. These people were extremely rigorous in their work. There were few people talking on the streets, and the main roads were impeccably clean. Only essential shops lined the roads; there weren't many entertainment venues. It seemed these people didn't desire such things in their daily lives. In Liu Ning's opinion, while these people certainly needed places to relax, for these true scientific workers, their time was incredibly precious. Even meals had to be eaten quickly; why would they need so many entertainment venues? That would be tantamount to suicide.
Liu Ning was quite interested in this place. If he hadn't come to see Su Fei, he would definitely have taken a good stroll around the area and seen things he hadn't seen before. But thinking about seeing Su Fei soon, Liu Ning suppressed his desire to play. He knew Su Fei was busy with work, and that she definitely wouldn't take time off for him—something he had learned from experience before. So, he didn't tell her anything and just came over quickly. Last time, when Liu Ning was injured, Su Fei only took a few hours off, which was the first time Liu Ning had ever seen her take leave. This time, he didn't have anything else to do, but he still had some important things to arrange. After entering the ancient ruins, their fate was uncertain, so he had to leave Su Fei something that could save her life. He really didn't know what the future held, so that was Liu Ning's main purpose in coming here.
Holding an address, Liu Ning searched for a long time on his smart device. Paid research institutes aren't found in ordinary places because many people would covet them. Only high-ranking individuals could find Liu Ning, whose current strength far surpasses many, and who holds positions in mysterious departments like the Human Investigation Bureau. Therefore, finding such a place was very easy for Liu Ning. Right now, there was a very ordinary entrance, showing no signs of being a top-tier human technology research institute. Liu Ning wandered around for a while, confirming it was the right place, and then prepared to go in. There were no guards at the entrance, which was strange. Weren't they afraid of attacks on these researchers? Their abilities were those of ordinary people; even a soldier could easily wipe them all out. This was a security loophole.
"Stay where you are immediately and do not make any movement. If you have come to the wrong place, leave immediately and we will not hold you accountable. But if you continue to move forward, don't blame us for being impolite. This is not a place for ordinary people to enter. Show us all your identification information. If you force your way in, you will face the death penalty. This is a law established by the Human Council, and we hope you will abide by it. From now on, retreat immediately."
Liu Ning was still pondering this question when suddenly a voice sounded beside him. Liu Ning looked around in surprise. On the surface, there were no guards here, but in fact, the mechanical guards came out immediately, and two soldiers also came over, all of them equipped with all kinds of weapons.
