Chapter 169 Welcome
"Open it and read after me."
Xiao Chen did as he was told and opened the blue book. There was only one paragraph on it.
When Xiao Chen stood up, everyone else also stood up, their expressions gradually becoming solemn.
"The wasteland is coming to an end, and I volunteer to join the Night Punishment Division."
Xiao Chen rarely saw Xu Zhaohua so serious, so he took a deep breath and read it out seriously.
"Don't fight for fame, don't fight for profit, and take it as your duty to protect the lives of all people in Great Xia."
"I will turn into Daxia's sharp knife and live and die with Daxia. We will live and die together."
Just a few lines, but very meaningful.
"Xiao Chen, look out the window."
Xiao Chen heard the words and looked outside. The streets of Imperial Capital were busy with traffic and people were dressed in fashionable clothes, making it look like a prosperous metropolis.
"Actually, for them, life now is not much different from a few decades ago."
"Most people feel that humans, Daxia, have stabilized."
"But in fact, there is no such thing. We have to beware of infected people who appear all the time, and we must be wary of the dangers that come from outside the walls."
"We can still live peacefully because there are several top masters in Daxia who are frightening those mutated beast kings."
"The threat of infected people can be minimized because we have deep-sea pharmaceuticals and law enforcement agencies working day and night."
"I know that you have had a hard time. You may have joined the Night Criminal Division just because of its conditions and benefits at first, but I still want to ask you now, are you willing to shoulder this responsibility?"
Xu Zhaohua's words were very sharp, and it could be said that they directly touched the most contradictory part of Xiao Chen's heart.
That's right, although he has never seen a living mutant beast, ever since he heard the desperate roar of the Steppe Wolf Emperor, he understood that everything in front of him would turn into ashes in an instant if it were not supported by those strong men.
Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water.
However, he really didn't feel much about other things.
He was supported by his father when he was a child, but later his father disappeared. His and his sister's old home was inexplicably repossessed, and the subsidies that should have belonged to them could not be issued for a long time.
In the slums, there were no laws and rules, so I didn't know what it would be like to be bullied at first.
Moreover, due to the sudden risk of infection, the whole place is closed at every turn, and the people in the slums can only hope in despair that infected people will not visit their homes.
Faced with desperate situations several times, Xiao Chen and his sister gritted their teeth and endured it, and gradually learned to be cruel and ruthless. They really lacked the kind of ambition to help the world.
but……
In his mind, he recalled all the interactions he had with everyone in the Yueying Team, the gun Liu Zimo gave him on his wrist, the life-saving ice coffin Mo Jinglan gave him, and how they took the blame without hesitation just now.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and said sincerely.
"There are some things that I may need to slowly understand, but I am willing to fight side by side with Yueying."
This answer can only be said here. If the Night Criminal Division has an official oath, it is definitely not allowed to say so.
Mo Jinglan's brows twitched involuntarily, and when he looked at Xu Zhaohua, both of them suddenly showed relaxed expressions.
"Xiao Chen, I thought you would say that you were willing."
Xiao Chen said nothing, waiting for Xu Zhaohua's next words.
"However, I am more satisfied with your answer. Because I feel that you finally regard them as your own."
After Xu Zhaohua finished speaking, he also smiled. After getting along for a period of time, they all understood that Xiao Chen was not someone who easily trusted others and always had his own plans in his heart.
However, Xu Zhaohua could tell that such an answer was from Xiao Chen's heart and something he should say.
Xu Zhaohua stretched out his hand. His fingers were long and beautiful, but they were immediately covered by a thick, rough hand. This was Xiong Qingshan's hand...
Everyone extended their hands.
"Xiao Chen, welcome to join Yueying."
The sun shines on the dining table, and the goblets and crystal lamps shine, reflecting on Xiao Chen's face.
Mu Xiaowan stood behind Xiao Chen, and could only see his stiff back and slightly trembling hands. She sat there obediently, with the corners of her mouth opening in an arc inadvertently.
"very nice."
In the past, she didn't like the sun very much, but she felt that the sunshine today was just right, warm and comfortable.
Seeing the friendly expressions of everyone, Xiao Chen also stretched out his hand and stacked it with theirs.
"I want to cover the top!"
Liu Zimo smiled evilly and took out his hand, covering it on top. Ye Ran rolled his eyes, and Xiong Qingshan chuckled, letting his hand be pressed by everyone.
"From now on, Yueying will be your second home."
Xu Zhaohua patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder.
"Perhaps you were once helpless and used to relying on yourself, but please believe Yueying, we are your strong backing."
Xu Zhaohua was cheering Xiao Chen up, and at the same time, Xiao Chen himself understood that Xu Zhaohua was reminding him of something.
Whenever you think about it in the future, you can include them all and don't treat everyone as outsiders.
"What are you doing standing still? Quickly put on your clothes."
Ye Ran smiled and took out the uniform for Xiao Chen and made gestures on him for a while.
A few minutes later, Xiao Chen came back from the bathroom, dressed in a crisp black uniform with Yueying's team emblem outlined on it, making Xiao Chen look handsome and tall.
"So handsome!"
Mu Xiaowan and Ye Ran's eyes lit up at the same time.
"This kid will be a powerful enemy in the future."
Liu Zimo's own conditions were so good that he had never carefully examined Xiao Chen's appearance before.
After all, Xiao Chen used to dress according to the simplest standards. Now that he has put on new clothes, his strength has improved and his temperament has taken on a new look.
"However, there is still a certain gap between him and me."
Liu Zimo was talking to himself, Ye Ran scolded.
"Narcissist, Xiao Chen is more handsome, unlike you, who is too greasy."
Liu Zimo's face darkened.
"Of course, you like the new and hate the old."
After the meal, the whole house was full of joy. After the meal, Xu Zhaohua found Xiao Chen alone and gave him a black memory stick.
"The combat techniques and original pulse training methods are all copied in it. If you don't understand anything, you can ask us at any time."
"Remember not to spread the word, otherwise you will have to pay a lot of money, even if it is lost."
"This suit is a gift from the Night Punishment Division. It can resist the attacks of first-class awakened beings. It is an E-class battle suit. As the name suggests, there are better ones, but you will have to spend money to buy it in the future."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen rubbed his hands. It was really hard to move forward without money in life.
"We still have missions and we will leave tomorrow, but we have booked a hotel for you. You will stay in the Imperial Capital for a few days first."
"Although your original veins have reached the river level, they are not yet stable and may degrade at any time. There is no time to delay. Use the original vein training method quickly to consolidate them."
"Next, someone will take you to Beimang. This mission will be your first mission since entering the Night Criminal Division. Although you may not go into battle, you still have to be prepared, just in case."
After feeling the threat from Liu Ruolong, Xiao Chen also understood that his cultivation progress would be accelerated.
