Chapter 52 "Welcome to the Real Atlas"

Hearing this.

The investigator pressed the button to call the elevator, glanced at Ziegler, said "Okay, Ms. Ziegler" and then returned to silence.

This made Ziegler, who walked into the panoramic elevator with the other party, not know how to continue the topic, so she had to keep quiet.

The morning glow outside the window was reflected. In the distance was a refreshing beach coast, and gradually approaching, there were neatly planned blocks and streets.

Among the many high-rise buildings, only the Atlas Enterprise Accra Branch Building in the city center was a truly eye-catching landmark building.

The traffic on the road was surging, and most of the vehicles were the latest styles. Pedestrians were dressed in neat formal clothes and hurried to their respective jobs. Busy and orderly, as if it was the rhythm of this city.

On the main roads of the city, the efficient transportation network was more displayed. The sky trains flew past and shuttled between the buildings, and the entrances and exits of the subway stations were also scattered on several main roads.

Sidewalks, intersections, and even traffic signs are integrated with holographic technology, making the interaction between vehicles and pedestrians more orderly, greatly reducing the possibility of traffic congestion, sharing the transportation pressure of the urban population, and creating a livable urban environment while providing convenience to residents.

Not long ago, news anchors were still talking about Atlas's popularization of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies in the next two years, but in Accra, these technologies have become the norm in the city.

The arrival of Atlas has brought about earth-shaking changes to this city, which was originally far from the top in many aspects such as public security and economy.

Not only Accra, but all cities where Atlas is located are developing quietly but rapidly.

At this time, the prosperous scenery disappeared as the panoramic elevator entered the underground garage.

The gates opened to the left and right.

After leaving the elevator, Ziegler followed the Valentine investigator and entered a black SUV together.

"Buzz~..."

The roar of the engine starting spread in the garage.

The start of the vehicle also activated the central control display screen and some holographic indicator lights, as well as the in-vehicle intelligence with a feminine but emotionless detection report:

"Welcome back, Agent Jill Valentine, 36 items of your exclusive vehicle are green and 1 is yellow. This item is the emergency suspension device of the vehicle. The vehicle's autonomous scanning cannot analyze the root cause. It is recommended that Agent Valentine send the vehicle to the company's designated location for maintenance.

Detecting the identity information of the co-pilot passenger...

After the test, the co-pilot passenger Angela Ziegler Cage has a temporary ride, which is expected to expire in three hours.

Friendly reminder, please negotiate with the owner Agent Valentine for renewal before the expiration, or take the initiative to leave the vehicle, otherwise the vehicle will take compulsory expulsion measures.

Finally, the temperature in Accra is 27℃ and the humidity is 68%. The weather is sunny and suitable for travel. I wish you a pleasant day."

After the in-vehicle intelligence report, the scenery outside the car window has long been changed from the underground garage to the surface street, and is waiting in line for the red light.

"..."

Ziegler's mouth was slightly open the whole time, and her expression of astonishment never stopped.

She knew that the company focused on cutting-edge technology, and also knew that the company had always been "far ahead" in the electronics industry and other fields, but Ziegler did not expect that the exclusive vehicle for the investigators alone would open her eyes.

Emergency levitation device?

Could it be a device that allows the vehicle to suspend in an emergency... or even fly as the name suggests?

Magnetic levitation?

Although she was not good at engineering, she also understood that magnetic levitation was still in the experimental stage due to factors such as high cost, complexity, safety and material limitations.

On the other hand, the company actually applied magnetic levitation technology to the vehicles used by the investigators, which indirectly showed that the company had more mature high-end products.

At this time

While waiting for the red light, Jill extended her right hand and lightly touched the center console, causing a holographic screen to appear in front of Ziegler, and solemnly reminded him:

"Angela Ziegler Cage, please read the terms of the confidentiality agreement carefully. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly, but you must understand that once you sign the confidentiality agreement, you will strictly implement the above terms for the rest of your life, and you will bear all the consequences of leaking secrets."

"Okay."

After listening to Jill's warning words, Ziegler also restrained his curiosity and focused on reading the confidentiality agreement on the holographic screen.

And the more he read, the more obvious his frown became.

Because the regulations state;

"Before going to the other side of the "door", you need to submit an application to your immediate superior. Before the application is approved, you are not allowed to discuss this matter with anyone."

"If you witness any abnormal phenomenon, please report it to the nearest armed unit of the company as soon as possible. Do not conceal it, and do not discuss this matter with anyone."

Looking at the confusing regulations, Ziegler did begin to think about whether to sign a confidentiality agreement, especially the consequences of violating the regulations, which also unabashedly marked the word "death".

But as a top student, if she wants to get a better R&D environment and turn her ideals into reality, then the best way is to join the company's core team.

And her salary will have a qualitative leap, and the benefits involving the whole family are also irresistible.

More importantly, her father was discharged from the army nine years ago due to injuries, and later needed a lot of medicine for recuperation. However, the well-known service attitude of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), such as cumbersome administrative procedures, led the staff to choose to treat soldiers in need with indifference and indifference, and the U.S. officials continued to withdraw VA resources and funds and allocate them to other insignificant things, etc., resulting in her father not being able to receive the necessary care in time, and the wound that should have recovered actually began to show symptoms such as infection and necrosis.

Fortunately, her mother is one of Atlas's loyal customers. At a price of 1,400 per year, she bought Atlas's family medical insurance with an insurance limit of up to 150,000 US dollars.

Later, when her father was sent to Atlas's private hospital, the young Ziegler thought that the hospital would use complicated procedures or other excuses to delay treatment. However, after verifying his identity and confirming the symptoms, the hospital readily provided treatment services and reimbursed the medical expenses.

Therefore, Ziegler had a certain degree of "loyalty" to Atlas before she graduated and started working in the company.

So facing the only chance to join the core team, she hesitated for a moment before signing her name on the holographic screen.

Jill, who was driving the vehicle and observing the dynamics with her peripheral vision, saw Ziegler sign the confidentiality agreement, and then she touched the center console with her right hand again, called up more files on the holographic screen, and said:

"Welcome to the real Atlas, Ms. Ziegler."

——

…

On the way to the park.

"Beep-beep!"

In a large facility deep underground in the park, a harsh reminder sounded, and then the radio began to broadcast: "Please all D and other materials enter the isolation area of ​​the facility to wait."

It seems that the consumable human experiment materials "purchased" by Atlas from the prison will face a new experimental challenge.
