In fact.
Besides the mission to investigate the [Sain Mechanical Company], the higher-ups also issued another directive—to assemble a patrol team specifically to maintain security in this slum district.
[Secret Plan: Slum Streets].
Last night, a statement left behind by the [Sain Mechanical Killer], Xiao Zhe, also caught the attention of the higher-ups.
As a result, the higher-ups specifically ordered the formation of a patrol team to secure the slum district, preventing the [Sain Mechanical Company] or the [Sain Mechanical Killer] from doing anything nefarious within it.
At the same time.
It was precisely because of this achievement discovered by Li Ying that he, without question, became the person in charge of executing both plans.
Perhaps due to this personal consideration, Li Ying hoped to involve Wang Zhong in the [Patrol Plan]. This way, as long as Wang Zhong completed this mission, he could transition from an external member to a full-time one.
It had to be said that Li Ying was quite considerate of his subordinate, Wang Zhong.
Investigation Building, First Floor.
In Li Ying's office.
"What? Captain, you want me to patrol the slum streets with Manni?"
"And for half a month?"
Wang Zhong, seated in his office chair and drinking mineral water, stood up immediately upon hearing Captain Li Ying's words. With an embarrassed expression, he said, "Captain, patrolling means being out in the sun. How is that as good as sitting in this office taking calls?"
After all, Wang Zhong had already decided in his heart that he would see his slacking through to the end.
Behind the desk.
"Bang!"
Captain Li Ying slammed his right hand hard onto the desk and also stood up. He said to Wang Zhong with clear displeasure, "Are you an idiot, kid? If you complete this mission, I can recommend you for full-time status. Your salary will not only double, but you'll also get social insurance and housing fund!"
"You, you, you only think about slacking off, it's infuriating me."
It was evident that Li Ying was genuinely pained by Wang Zhong's lazy demeanor.
"Uh, Captain, don't be angry."
"I didn't know about the benefits of this mission. Now that I do, I'll definitely agree to your terms..."
"After all, I still need to get married and buy a house, so naturally, I want to earn more money."
Seeing the angry Li Ying, Wang Zhong quickly spoke with a cheeky grin, "I knew you were looking out for me, Captain."
"You!"
At this moment, Li Ying waved his hand as if he needed to reprimand Wang Zhong for something, but in the end, he said nothing.
In fact.
Li Ying didn't know why he placed so much importance on Wang Zhong.
Was it because six months ago, Wang Zhong unexpectedly took a knife for him, resulting in a two-week hospital stay?
Or was it because he and Wang Zhong got along well?
Li Ying didn't know the reason, but he knew very clearly that he genuinely wished for this young man, Wang Zhong, to have a better life.
Behind the desk.
Wang Zhong, having sat back down in his chair, blinked and asked Li Ying curiously, "Captain, when does this patrol mission start? So I can prepare early?"
"The mission begins tomorrow."
"Remember, the codename for this mission is [Night Watcher]! Also, each of you will be equipped with a [Bionic Patrol Crow] to help you record and scout for enemies."
"You and Manni will have to coordinate yourselves; one will patrol in the morning, and the other in the evening."
"And kid, remember, if anything happens, you hide and call us. Don't rashly charge in yourself."
Li Ying, sitting back in his office chair, glanced at Wang Zhong and said meaningfully, "Remember, you're just an external plainclothes officer, no need to risk your life for a few thousand yuan. Those who need to risk their lives are us [Psionic Plainclothes Officers]!"
"I understand, Captain."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going back now."
"Oh, right, Captain, I'll go pick up a [Bionic Patrol Crow] first..."
Wang Zhong stood up and said to Li Ying, but before he could finish, Li Ying interrupted him.
"You can only pick up a [Bionic Patrol Crow] one hour before your mission begins, so if you have nothing else to do, get some rest early..."
"The next half month will be a challenge for you."
"After all, you'll be facing twelve hours of surveillance and patrol..."
Li Ying waved his hand, stopping Wang Zhong's unfinished sentence.
"Yes, sir."
Wang Zhong immediately stood up and said to Li Ying with a serious expression, "I will definitely protect myself and Manni, don't worry."
City center.
A three-story building.
[Sain Mechanical Prosthetics Company (Branch)]
At this moment, on the third floor of the company, in the general manager's office.
"Crackling!"
In an instant, a series of heavy objects crashing to the ground could be heard from inside the office.
"Tell me! What exactly happened?"
"Why have all three of our company's moles inside the bureau lost contact?"
"Tell me!"
Behind the desk, a large old man wearing a brown suit and a slicked-back hairstyle, with a cigar in his mouth, was angrily questioning the secretary standing before him!
Hearing this, a male secretary, whose arms had been replaced with mechanical prosthetics, said with a wry smile, "General Manager, I don't know why those informants were discovered, but I do have something to report to you..."
"Speak!"
The fat old man, addressed as [General Manager], said indifferently with a cold expression.
"The lab sent word that that group of [Half-demons] seems to be adapting to the anesthetic's effects..."
"Currently, each [Half-demon] has been injected with enough anesthetic to knock out an elephant, but they will wake up within ten hours at most, and the anesthetic's effect will weaken each time..."
"The lab is asking when we can start deploying these [Half-demons]?"
"Given the constitution of these [Half-demons], the lab can keep them anesthetized for a maximum of four days... After four days, all anesthetics on the market will lose their effect on them..."
"And if we use special anesthetics, it will damage the [Half-demons'] demon bloodline..."
In front of the desk, the male secretary cautiously glanced at his general manager and quickly reported.
The transformation belt suggested by a reader is a good idea. Could you elaborate on it?
