The first thing to do after entering the inner city was to go home.
Joining the Special Ability Group meant officially obtaining the right to reside in the inner city. Naturally, they needed a place to live. Gao Qi's house was already prepared. It was not the most basic single dormitory, but a two-bedroom house that only Special Ability Users could enjoy.
The house was a ten-minute walk from the building of the Danger Control Department. It looked ordinary on the outside, but the interior decoration and furniture were the best in Morning Night City. This was the preferential treatment for Special Ability Users.
Looking at his own house, Gao Qi felt like he was living in a dream. Compared with the extremely simple school dormitory, the house given to him by the Danger Control Department was a mansion.
Suddenly, Gao Qi felt that his current dream seemed to have been mostly realized.
He had a house, a car, and he did not need to spend money on food. What else did he lack?
As Gao Qi stared blankly at the furnishings in the room, Huang Fei said, "TV, air conditioner, washing machine, refrigerator, and electrical appliances are basically all here. If you need anything else, just make an application."
Sighing softly, Gao Qi said, "Thank you, Fei Ge."
Huang Fei scratched his head, then pushed open the door of the bedroom and said, "The gun cabinet is inside. Your gun is in the gun cabinet. I was going to get you a new gun, but … you'll have to make do with it first. I'll think of a way to get you a good gun later."
There was a wardrobe in the bedroom, and there was a space in the wardrobe to store Gao Qi's long and short guns. Gao Qi opened the wardrobe door and looked inside. Then, he said to Huang Fei, "Fei Ge is very considerate. There's no hurry to change this gun. I'm fine with it."
"Fine my ass!"
Huang Fei said angrily, "Guns are basically useless in the city. You can't carry a gun around all day like you do in the wilderness. A shotgun is useful, but if you carry one all day, people will think that our Special Ability Group is a scavenger. You're different from us. We don't need guns, but how are you going to survive without a gun?"
"That's true …"
Huang Fei sighed and said, "I'll have to find you a good gun. At the very least, it won't jam. Last time, if you could have directly shot Qin Laoda in the head, you wouldn't have been shot in the chest."
Gao Qi really didn't want to use a pistol that would jam after two shots. He didn't want to put his life on a pistol that could jam at any time. Therefore, he really wanted a 1911 right now. A 1911 that was shiny, heavy, and really great to the touch.
However, it was a pity that he couldn't afford it.
"Don't we have any particularly reliable pistols?"
Huang Fei waved his hand and said, "Yes, there are. I'll take you to look for them later. Let's not talk about the gun now. I'll tell you what you have to do next."
It was impossible to just eat and not work. Since he had joined the Special Ability Group, he had to do some work within the scope of his authority.
Huang Fei sat on the sofa and looked at Gao Qi. After thinking for a while, he finally said, "You don't have any specific work right now. The most important thing is to learn how to drive as soon as possible. I can't always be your driver."
Gao Qi smiled embarrassedly. Huang Fei continued, "Tomorrow, you go outside the city and pick up Lao Meng and Daniu's wife and child. I won't be going myself. I'll arrange for someone to follow you. Remember the way, right?"
"I remember the way."
Huang Fei nodded. After thinking for a while, he continued, "After joining the Special Ability Group, you will inevitably have to deal with mutants. You don't have to be afraid of the Special Ability Group. With me around, no one will dare to touch you. However, mutants aren't afraid of anything. Remember, if you really meet a mutant, run quickly."
Gao Qi whispered, "I'll remember."
Huang Fei thought for a while. After patting his head, he took out a stack of cash from his pocket and put it on the coffee table. He said, "Today is the day of your salary. I've given you an advance of one month's salary. Two thousand yuan."
It was only in this city where everything was rationed, and in this school where everything was provided, that Gao Qi did not need money. In the wasteland, he bartered with other things, but he still did not need money. Therefore, this was the first time Gao Qi saw money, and the first time he saw what banknotes looked like.
"Fei Ge, this money … What's it for?"
Huang Fei looked at Gao Qi, smiled wretchedly, and said, "Do you know where the beauties in the wasteland are?"
"Where?"
"On Eighteenth Street. You'll know where money is when you get there. But since you've just joined today, you should treat the brothers in the group to a meal and get to know each other. You can book Octagon Restaurant tonight. If it's not enough, I'll pay for it."
Gao Qi opened his mouth slightly. Two thousand yuan wasn't enough for a meal?
Huang Fei stood up and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to the unit to get to know your face."
"Oh, oh. Fei Ge, wait for me. I'll bring my gun."
Gao Qi went back to the bedroom and took out his belt. He put on the holster and magazine cover. As usual, he put the gun outside so that others could see it, and he could quickly pull it out.
Huang Fei said with some disdain, "You'd better cover it with your clothes. You're the only one in the Special Ability Group who has a gun. It'll be embarrassing if people see it."
Gao Qi hesitated for a moment, and then he put the short-barreled shotgun into his belt. A pistol was unreliable, and this thing was more reliable.
With two guns, one on the left and one on the right, Gao Qi's waist was bulging. When he got in the car, he had to hold the gun, or it would hurt his waist.
It was only a ten-minute walk, but only a two-minute drive. After Huang Fei swaggered into the office of the Special Ability Group Two, he looked around. There was only one person in the office, lying on the chair and playing with his nails out of boredom.
The atmosphere in the office seemed to be very relaxed.
While Gao Qi was puzzled, Huang Fei said casually, "Is everyone out?"
The person sitting on the chair stood up and said, "Today, our group is patrolling. Everyone is out."
Huang Fei nodded and said, "Tomorrow, there will be a new person to partner with you. Today, you can rest first."
After a very casual sentence, Huang Fei said to Gao Qi, "Let's go and find Boss Han to rest for a while."
The offices of Special Ability Group One and Special Ability Group Two were opposite each other. Huang Fei pushed open the door of Special Ability Group One's office. There were about ten people sitting inside. Two of them were playing chess, four were playing poker, and four were playing mahjong.
Gao Qi immediately felt that the atmosphere in the office was a little too good.
The team leader's office was separated from the main office, but it was more appropriate to call it a rest room because there were not many tables in the office. Even if there were, it was used as a mahjong table.
Han Ruofeng's office was not closed. He sat on the swivel chair, crossed his legs, and looked at the TV on the wall in a daze.
"Boss Han."
Huang Fei pulled a chair and sat across from Han Ruofeng. Then he said to Gao Qi, who was standing respectfully next to him, "Don't just stand there, find a chair and sit."
Han Ruofeng looked at the pistol on Gao Qi's waist and immediately said, "Didn't you go to buy a gun? You didn't buy one? "
Huang Fei immediately looked like he had eaten a fly and said, "Don't mention it. A broken pistol costs 500 grams of gold. Where am I going to find gold? Do you have any? If you do, lend it to me first. "
Han Ruofeng rolled his eyes at Huang Fei with a look of disdain. He said in a bad mood, "I told you to go and take a look first. You're scared, aren't you? You deserve it."
Huang Fei was extremely angry and said, "You didn't even tell me you went to buy bullets, and you still have the face to say it? If you had told me it was so expensive, I wouldn't have lost face. "
Han Ruofeng smiled and said proudly, "I can't be the only one who knows that I'm poor. I think you should understand that too."
Huang Fei and Han Ruofeng were chatting like old friends. Gao Qi felt that it was awkward for him to stay, but he didn't know what to do. At this moment, Huang Fei said in a bad mood, "A Screwdriver is treating tonight. You have to go."
Han Ruofeng looked at Gao Qi and said, "A Screwdriver is not an outsider. Let's go. It's been peaceful recently. Do you want to drink tonight?"
Huang Fei's mouth twitched and said, "Okay, let's drink."
As soon as he said that, the walkie-talkies on Han Ruofeng's desk and Huang Fei's waist rang.
"Abnormal energy fluctuations have occurred in the residential area of Seventh Street. It is suspected to be an awakening event. Members of the superpower team nearby please come to the scene as soon as possible."
Gao Qi heard He Jun's voice in the walkie-talkie, "He Jun of the superpower team two is nearby. He will be there immediately. Over."
Han Ruofeng looked at his walkie-talkie and said with a relaxed face, "My intuition tells me that it's definitely fine. The awakening was successful."
"Your intuition?"
Huang Fei immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said anxiously, "Xiao He, I think it's a mutant. Be careful!"
Han Ruofeng looked at Huang Fei and waved his hand disdainfully, but he didn't say anything.
Three minutes later, He Jun said urgently through the walkie-talkie, "He Jun of the superpower team two reporting that I have arrived at the scene. It is confirmed that the awakening has failed. I have killed the mutant. Over."
Huang Fei looked at Han Ruofeng and smiled disdainfully. Then he raised the walkie-talkie and said, "Received. Xiao He, inform the management department to collect the body and continue patrolling. Over."
Han Ruofeng spread his hands and said, "Although the awakening failed, it's still fine. There's no need to call for backup. Then I'm right."
At this time, the walkie-talkie rang again.
"Abnormal energy fluctuations have occurred in Twentieth Street. It is suspected to be an awakening event."
Han Ruofeng was stunned for a moment, then he spread his hands and said, "It's fine. It's definitely fine this time. My intuition tells me that the awakening was successful!"
Han Ruofeng appeared to be very confident, but suddenly the voice from the walkie-talkie slapped his face back and forth.
"Alert! Alert! The awakening event in the Twentieth Street business district has failed. The mutant's strength is Level E. Casualties have been caused. "
There were two consecutive awakenings without any break, and both of them failed. Moreover, there were casualties in the second awakening. Although Gao Qi was not very familiar with the operation of the superpower team, he was already nervous.
"Zhao Zirui and Zhang Wei of the superpower team two have arrived at the scene. The mutant has been found. Over."
Han Ruofeng scratched his head and whispered, "It must be easy to solve …"
"Backup! Backup! This mutant is not normal. Everyone close to him has gone crazy. I suspect that he is a psychic mutant. F * ck! I feel like my head is going to explode. Backup! "
