"Sister Yun, have you received a new mission?"
Avril peeled the shrimps and soaked them in the rain and dew, and each person took turns in a circle. Baizhu thanked him and looked at Feng Jinyun: "Are there six people going this time?"
"There are still fourteen. There are many in the Hunter Club who are willing to set off with the team."
Ning Zhi answered on his behalf: "Although Yunjian suffered heavy losses this time, he was still quick to organize the people. After all, the past results are there. Besides, hunters who go out of the city have a narrow escape from death. It is high-risk and high-paying. Everyone is voluntary. As for the mission, they Didn’t get it.”
"Hey, don't mention it," Fatty Liu continued, "Why are there recent changes in the research of the Prevention and Control Institute, so starting from noon today, all bounty tasks will be suspended."
That's it, Bai Zhu nodded.
It seems that the old man has forced a timeout.
Hunters are a relatively mature defensive force in the city, and they can retain as many as they can. She didn't mention it on the phone because she knew Bai Lingyu would make the arrangements himself, so there was no need to bother her dad any more.
"Hunter tasks are all issued based on the research needs of departments such as the Prevention and Control Center. If there is no demand, there will be no tasks." Feng Jinyun finally finished chewing the fried fish in his hand and wiped his hands with a wet tablecloth, "But research cannot be suspended. I'm confused too."
really.
Baizhu was peeling shrimps in his hands and thinking in his mind: "Although the hunter side is in charge of the old man, but the prevention and control department is in charge of the inspector general, these two people just came close to fighting... well, I can't beat the Mediterranean either.
"But the contradiction is there. How can we allow the old man to stop issuing tasks at the expense of the interests of the Prevention and Control Institute? The importance of the research of the Prevention and Control Institute is second only to city defense. If this matter is revealed, it will definitely cause panic. The Inspector General may even You can file a charge of 'delaying research'... the old man will not be arbitrary in this matter.
"Even if the inspector general is skipped, we still need to obtain the consent of the prevention and control office, issue a written document to appease public opinion, and find a clear reason to prevaricate the superiors. But the prevention and treatment office is the territory of the inspector general after all, so this written proof is a bit difficult. Either it’s the director of the prevention and treatment center who is coercing and luring him, hey, this may be quite big.”
Baizhu threw away the shrimp shells, and at the same time got rid of all the unreliable memories of fathers raising children in his mind:
"Let's get rid of the prejudice first. There is something wrong with the prevention and control center. This started from Lao An's last words... but nothing happened to the prevention and control center in my previous life."
"Xiao Shu, what are you thinking about?"
Avril suddenly came closer and looked at her eagerly.
"It's nothing," Bai Shu pulled away from his thoughts and fed the shrimp to her, "I just think it's dangerous outside the city, and I don't want Sister Yun and Brother Liu to go out."
Bai Shu looked at Feng Jinyun: "Didn't Sister Yun say that the serum is not very effective? There is also the matter of the emperor insect becoming stronger. Even if the swelling is reduced with the serum, isn't Sister Yun's leg injury still okay? Are you in such a hurry? It’s very dangerous to go out, and there are many situations that we haven’t figured out yet.”
"Yeah, that's reasonable and smart." Ning Zhi agreed, "But you, Sister Yun, are just a stubborn donkey and won't listen."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Feng Jinyun had no choice but to explain to Baizhu: "The serum has the effect of promoting healing, and my leg is fine. If the hunter team wants to ensure credibility and even win the favor of the mission center, the gap period cannot exceed one week. Of course, Exceptions include New Year holidays and the like.
"Our last mission failed. Although Colonel Bai was the guarantor and said that the emperor insect level was wrong and helped us apply for compensation, it was a failure after all. It is not good to wait for more than three days."
"These are all agreed-upon things. It sounds outrageous, but there is nothing we can do about it." Fatty Liu gave Baizhu another piece of fish. "No one has it easy now. Money is a good thing. Even if you risk your life, there will be people rushing to earn it." , otherwise I would have starved to death before the alien came."
Ning Zhi swung the wine glass with one hand and added jokingly: "Maybe you will die before you have enough enjoyment. The lives of people in the Second City are cheap, and it is not pleasant to live with more people and less food. Xiao Shu, please go out of this area and take a look. There are a lot of homeless people in the second city, and people starve to death on the streets every day. Only the red-light district is the richest group, so there are more and more people who trade their lives for pleasure."
"Boss Ning, it's better not to drink too much tonight," Fatty Liu hesitated, "I'll cook you a hangover soup. You can drink a bowl later."
"That's how much," Ning Zhi waved her hands indifferently, but still put down the glass, "I'll finish this glass and then drink the hangover soup."
"I'm full," Bai Zhu put down his chopsticks, "I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go up first."
"By the way, Xiao Shu," Ning Zhi suddenly remembered, "Since you want to go to school after the summer vacation, and Ayun is free, you can follow her to learn self-defense and practice shooting."
Bai Shu was slightly startled: "I..."
"Sister Ning! Xiao Shu wants to accompany me to and from get out of class. Can we study together during the summer vacation?" Avril spoke up in time and quietly winked at Bai Shu with her right eye.
"That's it, I'm full!"
Avril didn't wait for Ning Zhi to answer, picked up the doll, and dragged Baizhu to the third floor.
"I know you are super powerful and you have other things to do, so I will help you quietly." Avril pursed her lips and smiled, then stood on tiptoe and gave Bai Shu a good night kiss, "Xiao Shu, good night."
"Good night."
Bai Zhu went into the room to pack his things, opened the balcony door and slid down the outer pipe.
…
"Oh, little boss, if you come here this late at night, I thought there was another big rat in this warehouse."
The old man went downstairs with a broom and looked at Baizhu who was turning on the machine and selecting tools.
"Night is a clean time, suitable for research, and it also happens to change my normal biological clock." Bai Zhu said, taking the wrench from the shelf, "Did it disturb you to sleep?"
"It doesn't matter, the elderly just don't sleep well." The old man threw the broom aside and walked to Baizhu's side with his hands behind his back. "It's not easy to fall asleep even if you wake up."
Bai Shu sat on the small bench and smiled when he heard this: "Then I'll give you more money."
"Well," the old man's tone rose, "I like to hear this."
Bai Zhu laughed and began to measure the model data with a vernier caliper while writing calculations on paper.
"...Is this to get in shape?"
"Yes," Bai Zhu opened the simulator, "but there is no high-temperature furnace or 3D machine. We can only use thermoplastic materials instead to make a scale model."
"Yeah, that's okay." The old man glanced over his head, "Just use the simulator to scan the data, and then change the materials from the machine. Just mark this clearly."
"You know very well," Baizhu glanced sideways, "I didn't even ask you what your previous occupation was."
"what occupation……"
The old man frowned and looked at Baizhu, a little puzzled and surprised: "So you really didn't know what I did for a living, so you came to rent my shop? I thought you were just pretending to be stupid and looking for trouble by asking around during the day!"
"Ah?" Bai Shu was startled, then raised his head, "So you can talk about this?"
"Yes, don't everyone in this area know about the market?" The old man pulled a stool and sat down, "Do you know about the Dis Bar in the red light district?"
Baizhu's heart skipped a beat, and he kept his countenance on his face: "I know."
"Oh, that used to be my place."
The old man smacked his lips, "But I later transferred it to my apprentice, and she also said that she would bring me wine today... Hey, what's wrong, little boss, is the machine broken? Why is your face so dark?"
"No, there isn't."
The corner of Baizhu's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that he suddenly felt that the world was too small, and the earth was indeed round!
"When will she arrive?" Baizhu re-entered the data, and his face returned to calm, "I have heard of Boss Ning's name, and I don't intend to expose it."
If you still have more time, it doesn't matter if she stays for a while and then leaves.
"Oh, I guess it will cost a few more..."
"Teacher! Are you there?"
Ning Zhi's voice came from upstairs, "Are you in the warehouse? I'm coming down."
Bai Shu: "?!"
Did my rebirth consume all my luck?
How could he be so unlucky? !
