Chapter 103 - Heading Towards the Energy Zone (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The next day, Lorne woke up very early. He changed his clothes and left.

He planned to enter the Energy Zone today.

Life in the slums was not safe.

The “slums” actually referred to the environment of the old world. Due to the lack of tighter management, thieves often wandered around, and there were even some overly dangerous figures.

Now that Lorne had enough money, he had to leave as soon as possible.

After all, there was nothing to be reluctant about.

Lorne did not take anything from his room, only carrying items related to his sister.

As for the other items, they had actually been sold half a year ago.

Lorne said nothing. He got into an old-time car and gradually left the area. Looking at the familiar surroundings, he could not help but sigh.

“Commoner District… Goodbye.”

…

To move from the slums to the Energy Zone, in addition to needing to apply in advance, he also needed to register for the Energy Zone.

He could also apply for this online.

However!

When one was about to enter the Energy Zone, they had to go to the World Alliance’s base to do a thorough inspection.

They had to wait until the results were out before obtaining permission to travel to the Energy Zone by plane.

To a certain extent, the Energy Zone was like a special fortress. If one wanted to enter, they had to rely on the official military of the World Alliance. Otherwise, once they got close, they would suffer a fatal blow.

He did not know why the security was so tight.

Perhaps it was to protect the rich, or perhaps it was because of some military activity, but no matter what, it was not something that Lorne needed to care about.

He could not come into contact with such a level yet, at least not with his current identity.

As the car neared the Alliance’s camp, Lorne saw many armed mechanical warriors. They were not robots, but people in closed combat armor.

“Stop the car!”

“I’m a Warrior of the World Alliance, ID: ZX31471. Please get out of the car and cooperate with the inspection.”

No foreign vehicle was allowed into the area, so Lorne was intercepted by the Alliance’s soldiers.

Lorne and the driver got out cooperatively.

“Please unlock your Civil Identification Bracelet and wait for inspection.”

Civil Identification Bracelet, which was the smart device everyone had, was equivalent to an old-time identity card. At the same time, it was a miniature computer that could be used for holographic projection.

When the only button on the bracelet was pressed, the citizen’s identity information panel would appear.

The Alliance’s Warrior used the scanning equipment on his helmet to check and record their identities.

Finally, he looked at everyone and said respectfully, “There’s no abnormality. Greetings, citizens of the World Alliance. The area ahead is where the World Alliance is stationed. Ordinary cars without permission are not allowed to enter. Those who want to apply for the necessary documents can go to the relevant department to do so.”

With that, a map panel appeared in front of Lorne, and there was a voice message.

Following the command, he arrived at the identification application area.

…

“Please choose the Energy Zone that you want to go to.”

On the interface in front of Lorne, there was a series of Energy Zone options. The cost of admission to each Energy Zone was different. The higher the level, the higher the cost of protecting the Energy Zone.

Lorne did not think too much about it. He chose the lowest-level Energy Zone.

Three years ago, he had been a resident of that Energy Zone. Now, he could finally go back.

“You have already been checked into the Energy Zone.”

“Please go to the inspection office to check on your health.”
