After Zhang Lin left, Han Ruofeng followed. Only Huang Fei stayed behind.
"Are you disappointed? Maybe you even hate me a little, right?"
Huang Fei could not be defined by good or bad, but Gao Qi did hate him a little. It was not because Huang Fei wanted to use him as cannon fodder, but because Huang Fei broke his dream of being a psychic.
"A Class B mutant is not something we can deal with. No one in the whole city can either. You can say that Boss Han and I owe our lives to you, so I have to thank you."
Gao Qi finally raised his head. He looked at Huang Fei and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
"It's 9: 30 in the morning now. You went to bed before 2: 00 in the afternoon yesterday. But do you know how long the others slept? The longest was half an hour, and the shortest was 20 minutes. "
After being stunned for a while, Gao Qi said seriously, "That means I'm different from the others, right?"
"Yes, that's right. You're different. They were just sleeping, but you were unconscious."
Gao Qi was stunned. Huang Fei still said seriously, "I sent you to the hospital yesterday. After the doctor checked you, he found a big bump on the back of your head. It was caused by an accident. Logically speaking, it was normal for you to be killed. I'm curious how you could stand up yesterday and even have the strength to say that you've awakened."
Gao Qi touched the back of his head in shock. Only then did he realize that there was a gauze on his head.
"Yesterday, your shoulder was dislocated, your wrist was dislocated, your upper arm was fractured, and your muscles were severely bruised. A layer of skin was also scraped off by the trigger arc. So after I sent you to the hospital, I asked the doctor to give you an anesthetic to prevent you from suffering."
Gao Qi was still stunned. He could not believe that his injuries were so serious.
Looking at his right arm and touching his head, Gao Qi said in surprise, "It doesn't hurt. I'm fine."
Huang Fei smiled proudly and said, "Of course it doesn't hurt, because the doctor only gave you a simple bandage. What's really useful is your superpower. I invited a superpower user to treat you, and now you're basically healed. Letting you lie on the bed is just for Department Head Zhang to take a look at you. You have to understand one thing, if the leader sees you in such a miserable state, he can always give you more benefits."
Gao Qi was puzzled. "You asked a psychic to treat me? Doesn't Minister Zhang know about this?"
"I don't know. There's only one paranormal in the entire city who can heal. Other than a few big shots and paranormals, not many people are qualified to ask him to help. So, this matter has to be done secretly. If it weren't for me and Boss Han, you wouldn't have received this treatment."
"Thank you, Fei Ge."
Huang Fei waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Now let's talk about business. You've done a good job, so I have to give you a good place to go. Is there anywhere you want to go?"
Gao Qi said without hesitation, "Of course, it's best to stay in the inner city. If it doesn't work, you can stay in the outer city."
Huang Fei smiled and said, "Don't dream about it. First of all, you do have the potential to awaken, but in other words, you're likely to become a mutant. It's very difficult to stay in the inner city now. You can think about it when you really awaken as a psychic."
If one path didn't work, then he would take another. Gao Qi said carefully, "Well, the City Guard seemed to want me yesterday. Can I join the City Guard?"
"The City Guard wanted you because they thought you were a psychic. Now that they know you're not a psychic, it's useless even if you beg them. Oh, joining the City Guard might allow you to stay in the outer city, but you'll lose your freedom completely. You can't do anything you want. What's so good about that?"
Gao Qi felt that if he couldn't stay in the inner city, staying in the outer city was not bad. It was better than being thrown out of the city. However, he couldn't rush to say this because Zhang Lin had said that he would arrange a good position for him. He might as well listen to the arrangements of the Danger Control Department first.
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"A good place. You can't stay in the inner city, and you can't join the Danger Control Department directly, but you can be an informant of the Danger Control Department."
"Informant?"
Huang Fei smiled and said, "Yes, the Danger Control Department has two subordinate units. One is the Special Operations Team, and the other is our Psychic Group. We're mainly responsible for managing psychics, and of course, we're also responsible for eliminating mutants who failed to awaken. But you have to know that there are more psychics outside the city than inside the city."
There were more psychics outside the city than inside the city. This was the first time Gao Qi had heard of this.
"Why? The conditions in all aspects are better than inside the city. Why are there more psychics outside the city? "
"How would I know why? Why are there so many whys? Anyway, you know that there are still a lot of psychics outside the city, and we need to monitor the psychics outside the city."
Huang Fei patted Gao Qi heavily on the shoulder and said proudly, "From now on, you'll be a non-staff member of the Danger Control Department's Psychic Group. Although you're not an official member, you have a certificate to prove that you're a member of the Danger Control Department. The most important thing is that with this identity, you can enter the city, and you can enter the inner city!"
Gao Qi was stunned for a moment, then he nodded subconsciously and said, "Is that so? That sounds good. "
"Of course it's good. This is the most suitable place for you to go. Also, you have to understand one thing. You're nothing in the inner city, not even a strand of hair. But if you leave the city, you can be a boss. Do you understand?"
Gao Qi was a little confused because he had never left the city. He didn't know what his identity was, and what kind of living situation he would be in outside the city.
Seeing that Gao Qi was a little confused, Huang Fei put his arm on the bed and said in an experienced tone, "Outside the city, you can kill anyone you don't like, and sleep with any woman you like. You're also a boss in that colony. In your territory, you're a local tyrant. To put it simply, if you can't enter the city after leaving the city, you'll be sent to prison. But if you have me to protect you, with the Danger Control Department as your backing, you can live a happy life. Do you understand?"
"Understood! Thank you, Fei Ge. "
This kind of life didn't sound bad. Gao Qi suddenly became interested in the outside of the city. He even looked forward to it. However, Huang Fei's next words immediately brought Gao Qi back to reality.
"Of course, it's indeed dangerous outside the city, but you don't have to worry too much. You're definitely different from the others. I'll give you the best equipment. Later, I'll bring you to the armory to pick a few good guns. As long as you don't encounter any exotic beasts, with your marksmanship, it doesn't matter if they're humans or beasts, they'll all be food for you."
Gao Qi asked seriously, "Fei Ge, can you tell me what kind of dangers there are outside the city? Why is it that everyone is so afraid when you talk about leaving the city?"
Huang Fei lamented, "Wolves travel a thousand miles to eat meat, while dogs travel a thousand miles to eat shit. The people in the city are sheep reared in a pen, while the savages outside the city are carnivorous wolves. Why do I say that? It's because there's order in the city. The people here have to be well-behaved. Even if they don't do anything, they'll still be able to eat. However, it's different outside the city. If you want to survive outside the city, you'll have to rob, fight, and trade your life for it. Cheating, swindling, and stealing are all trivial matters."
Gao Qi nodded and said, "I understand. What else?"
"There's also the exotic beasts. However, the more dangerous ones are the mutants, but the most dangerous ones are the ability users. The rules outside the city are very simple. Whoever has the harder fist is the boss. It's hard to explain the specifics, but since you're someone sent out from the city, everyone outside has to give you some face. As long as you don't provoke those big shots outside the city, you'll be fine. So, the most important thing is still to guard against the exotic beasts."
In the city, only the fittest survived. Outside the city, it was the law of the jungle. Humans had become no different from beasts, and this was the difference between civilization and savagery.
Although human technology and civilization had undergone abnormal development in some aspects, overall, the two catastrophes had almost completely destroyed human civilization. When most humans returned to the state of savagery, it could no longer be considered as progress. It was the regression of civilization, and it was the tragedy of mankind.
The concept of the regression of civilization was instilled in Gao Qi by Professor Su. Among Professor Su's few students, Gao Qi was the only one who was willing to listen and believe in Professor Su's ideas. The people in the city thought that this was an era of great technological development because many key technologies had been broken through. However, Professor Su always liked to sing a different tune. He was a person who liked to sing a different tune from the mainstream view.
Gao Qi thought of Professor Su because he could always obtain knowledge that could not be learned from Professor Su. Now, Gao Qi was only verifying what he learned from Professor Su.
"Civilization will regress because it is very fragile. The barbarians were able to break through Rome not because civilization could not fight against savagery, but because civilization chose to self-destruct …"
Gao Qi said emotionally, but Huang Fei said with a puzzled face, "What? Oh, speak human language! "
Gao Qi took a deep breath and said to Huang Fei, "Fei Ge, do you think the city walls can protect us forever? There are more and more mutants and they are getting stronger. You said that there are more mutants outside the city than inside the city. Then, when the future becomes a world of mutants, will the people in the city become the prey of the barbarians? "
Huang Fei frowned and said, "I don't know what will happen in the future, but I know that if you continue to ask such stupid questions, you deserve to be killed. Since you said that you are a person with a brain, you should know that some things should not be said carelessly."
Gao Qi thought for a moment, then he nodded and said, "You are right, I will remember."
"You young people who have read books are like this. You all think you are so great, but no matter how many books you have read, you will still have to wait for death outside the city."
With a face full of contempt and disdain, Huang Fei bent down and opened the drawer of the bedside table in the ward. He took out something from it and handed it to Gao Qi, saying, "When you are outside the city, no matter how many books you have read, it will not be as good as a gun in your hand. Take it, it is for you."
Huang Fei took out a gun, a hunting gun, but it was a hunting gun with a sawed-off barrel and stock.
"This is …"
"The gun you used to kill the mutant yesterday."
"I know, I mean, can't you give me a good gun?"
Gao Qi looked helpless and pitiful, but Huang Fei was very dissatisfied and said, "You know nothing! This was made by Boss Han himself. There's no better gun outside the city. "
The hunting gun was a horizontal double-barreled hunting gun, which was a very old gun model. Even if the barrel was sawed off, only the wooden stock was left. The stock at the back was also sawed off and polished, leaving a handle that could be held with one hand.
The gun was much shorter, but the overall length was still about 30 centimeters. It looked very rough and cumbersome. Gao Qi raised the gun. At this moment, he could no longer control his expression, so he could not help but say with a face full of contempt, "You call this a good gun?"
