The car is behind, Tan Wenjing said as she walked in front.

She was dressed in beige business attire, a small women's suit, wide-leg trousers, and high heels. She walked very elegantly, always unhurriedly, with the soles of her feet in a straight line, and her hips twisted gently with the steps.

Although she is petite, she has a well-proportioned figure. Li Haojun followed behind and looked down at her collar. The collar of her white shirt was turned outside the collar of her suit. She had a braid on her left neck and down to her chest. She wore an amethyst pendant on her right ear. Son.

After exiting the back door of the house, there was an arched vine corridor. Walking inside, I saw a silver car parked. The dimness of the cloudy sky and the reflection of the green leaves in the car paint make it look solemn and soft, especially the lines of the chrome-plated front air grille, which complement the headlights and front bumper of the same color.

"Volvo, 960," Li Haojun recognized.

"Yes, you like it," Tan Wenjing said with a smile as she walked around the nose of the plane. She smiled happily. When she walked to the driver's seat, her upper body faced Li Haojun, then she opened the door and got in. driver's seat.

Li Haojun also sat in the passenger seat and put on his seat belt. Watching Tan Wenjing take her driving shoes from the back seat, put them on, fasten her seat belt, and start the car. He actually remembered the model of the car, and he was curious about what else would pop up in his mind. But the sound of the car starting up is not a fuel car, it is an electric car, but it has a mechanical transmission.

"I thought this was a classic car, but it turned out to be a replica tram." Li Haojun said,

"Yes, it's a high-quality replica. What else? It's almost a hundred years ago." With that said, Tan Wenjing had already driven the car on the road.

On a country road surrounded by ash trees, a silver car was driving smoothly. The shadows of the green trees and the light gray of the sky alternately and rhythmically reflected on the light green windshield and silver car body. It seemed that everything The industry has been integrated into one.

At some point, Tan Wenjing put on a pair of glasses with gold filigree metal frames. The wind from the side window stirred her hair from time to time, and the bumps on the road shook her earrings from time to time. The corners of her lipsticked lips were slightly raised. .

"Can you tell me where we are going and what we are doing?" Li Haojun asked,

"Go to Spokane, exchange data keys, biotechnology company. Now all work is voluntary, of course, it is voluntary for those who are capable, and there are basic guarantees even if you don't work. On the other hand, rights and obligations are always equal, but With the development of today’s society and technology, ordinary people are no longer able to participate.”

"Lincoln once said, if you ask me what kind of government I want, I want a republican one, but the voters have to be able to check it."

"Then why do you work for this company?"

"Because... you," Tan Wenjing hesitated for a moment.

"Because you work for this company."

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

"Ha," Li Haojun laughed at himself. I don't even know who I am now.

"It will be fine. At least you are already a quasi-interstellar citizen."

"What do you mean?" Li Haojun hesitated for a while and asked,

"We all, since the outbreak of artificial intelligence and legislation allowing human enhancement programs, have had to divide different rights and obligations between people at different levels. After World War III, big government in the United States no longer exists. People who can meet the requirements of citizenship People who have political power, such as voting for governor, but cannot meet current social requirements can only be residents. They also have basic social welfare and basic human rights, but they do not have the right to vote in economic and political matters.”

"Of course, there are also people who don't agree with the current government's jurisdiction, such as family planning, education requirements, vaccine plans, etc. The most important thing is that you don't have to pay taxes, otherwise you can't escape the tax bureau in the United States. They go to natural reserves, unless something big happens. scale humanitarian disaster, otherwise the current regime would not interfere with them.”

"Leave them to fend for themselves?" Li Haojun asked,

"No, their lives are pretty good. Humans have been doing this for thousands of years. We don't go to their places to enforce the law. It's completely original."

"Then are we enhanced humans?" Li Haojun asked,

"No, you don't have to be a superman to reach the standard of a quasi-interstellar citizen, as long as you can keep up with the rhythm of this era. We are all ordinary people, natural people. Of course, most of us have IQs above 120. Just like immigrants Those people from Mars can basically handle one or more professional skills, and they will be satisfied.”

"Well, that's right. Such a harsh environment does require superior capabilities."

"There are also personality and behavioral characteristics, such as teamwork, psychological quality, etc. These are all obtained through the social activity evaluation system, which is why I work."

"Cool, you are great," Li Haojun clapped,

"Haha, don't come here," Tan Wenjing said, although she was scolding, she still had a smile on her face.

Talking and laughing, the car has already driven out of the road surrounded by green trees and arrived at the rolling hills. The two-way single-lane country road winds between the hillsides and small rivers. From time to time, there are small villages, shops, and coffee houses on the roadside. pass by. The sky gradually became clearer, and the rain-washed roofs and fields took on a new look.

Coming to a flat straight road, Tan Wenjing gradually slowed down and parked the car on the side of the road.

"Would you like to have a meeting?"

"What? I'm still driving? It ended up like this last time."

"It wasn't your fault last time," Tan Wenjing said, looking back, pushing the door open and getting out of the car, stretching.

"So tired."

Following the coquettish voice, Li Haojun looked at the door frame and saw Tan Wenjing raising her hands in the air, showing off her slender waist. The white shirt under her small suit outlined the curves of her chest.

Li Haojun also opened the door and got out of the car, and couldn't help but ask,

"You say you are 42 years old, but I look like you are 22."

"Bio, science, technology!" Tan Wenjing pursed her lips, turned her head, and said with an annoying face,

"You say I am 36 years old, but look at me, I look like 46 years old. Why don't I have biotechnology?"

"You, young, old, mature!" After saying this, both of them laughed.

Li Haojun sat in the driver's seat and was familiar with the gear knob and control buttons. Just as he was about to speak, Tan Wenjing got out of the passenger seat and sat in the back seat.

"Hey, I just wanted to tell you that the way you looked naughty just now seemed like Qingwen in the classic TV series, "Dream of Red Mansions"." What Li Haojun was thinking was that this girl had a naughty smile, which was a bit seductive, but not Feel free to say it. After speaking, Li Haojun seemed to realize something was wrong and looked directly into Tan Wenjing's eyes.

"Welcome back!" Tan Wenjing extended her thumbs with both hands.

Li Haojun drove the car on the road. After a short period of familiarity, he realized that he could drive. Tan Wenjing did not disturb him while he was driving. She just sat quietly in the back seat, leaning her head on the headrest, turning slightly to look at Li Haojun in the rearview mirror.

Li Haojun looked at her in the back seat in the rearview mirror from time to time, and seemed to have an inexplicable feeling.

"Why didn't you speak?" Li Haojun asked,

"I'm tired," Wen Jing replied softly, her eyes still looking at him silently...
