In De City, in an industrial district even farther out than the High-Tech Development Zone where the Xinyuan Building stood, a large pharmaceutical factory belonging to Star Sea Biotech was situated amid related facilities such as warehouses and dormitories.
Everyone in Security Team Two had now been stationed here. The factory already had a dormitory complex, and with land nearby so cheap, adding a training base would not cost much either.

Even those without highly rated combat talents had undergone professional training and possessed strong foundations. The theoretical instruction, however, had them complaining endlessly.
Probably more than half of them were poor students. After all, under the current social order and prevailing norms, risky occupations involving fighting were merely marginalized second choices.
