Chapter 26 Team 17
Black Light District, Yanfeng Town.
In an old gray manor, several figures jumped around and a puffing sound was heard, as if something sharp had scratched a water bag and liquid burst out.
Xu Shen held the sword and looked at the fallen beast at his feet. His gaze turned to the bedroom next to him, where there were several scattered corpses. The entire family of the manor had been killed.
"Phew, thanks to Brother Xu!"
"Brother Xu is awesome."
The other two teammates who were taking the assessment were still in fear. Just now, the three of them had besieged the beast, but the beast sensed that they were outnumbered and fled in all directions, and they could not catch up at all.
If they let this beast escape, they would have failed this assessment.
"Thanks to you for driving them away." Xu Shen said politely.
Although the two people in front of him called him Brother Xu, they were older than him and were just being tactful and polite.
"They said that your Xu power is comparable to that of the old team members. It is indeed not difficult for you to deal with the E-level Xu beast." One of the official team members chuckled, and treated Xu Shen obviously more gently than the two people next to him.
"I lack practical experience, and I just rely on brute force to crush you." Xu Shen said implicitly.
"As a newcomer, being able to crush an E-level beast with brute force is already a monster..." The official team member smiled and said, "You need to slowly accumulate practical experience. When you carry out more missions in the future, you will naturally become familiar with it."
Was it roasted... Xu Shen thought of his "mother's" delicious food and subconsciously glanced at the corpse of the beast at his feet. A familiar smell emanated from the wound and his throat rolled slightly.
"Hehe, are you hungry?"
In the dim corridor, Maeve stood aside, radiating a holy light. She seemed to have caught Xu Shen's physical reaction and said with a grin.
Xu Shen's eyelids twitched slightly, and he asked the old team member, "Are we taking this corpse of the Xu beast back with us?"
"That's right, pack it up and take it away. The research institute needs it. And I heard that the ruins purifier we use is extracted from the corpses of ruins beasts..." The old team member took out a large foldable bag from the black box and handed it to the other two:
"Put it in. If it's hard to put in, cut it in pieces and fold it up."
The two men held the bag and felt a little tingling on their scalps. If it was not necessary, they really didn't want to touch the beast.
But in this assessment, Xu Shen played the main role and almost killed the enemy single-handedly, so they had no choice but to take over the finishing work.
"We're late. Judging from the degree of decay of the corpses here, it must have been at least a month." Another veteran team member came out of the room with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the packed corpses of the Xu beasts:
"The youngest is only three years old. It's good that he was unlucky to come into this world. He died without knowing anything. He is lucky."
The old team member holding the black box shook his head and said, "They live in a small town in the suburbs. Although the house is big, it is far from our branch. The guys from the patrol office rarely come here to search. There is nothing we can do about it. After all, we are too short of personnel."
Xu deeply agrees.
The place where he lived was still in the urban area. Although it was a remote area, it took a full three months for the Xumi Bureau to know about it. It was probably reported by the Inspection Office in the beginning.
"The mission has been successfully completed. Let me congratulate you in advance." The old team member said with a smile to Xu Shen and the other two.
"No, no, you're welcome, Brother Li." The two men who were squatting to pack greeted each other hurriedly.
Xu Shen sighed secretly, knowing that he had finally walked out of the training camp.
Unfortunately... my swordsmanship is not refined enough, and my accumulated power has not reached its limit... Xu Shen sighed secretly.
…
…
After the task was reported, Xu Shen received a notice of becoming a regular employee the next day.
In view of his outstanding performance in the assessment, Xu Shen was assigned to Zhanxu Team 17.
According to the information Xu Shen found in the training camp, Team 17 belongs to the second echelon.
There are a total of 36 teams, and the number may occasionally be reduced or increased by one or two.
Teams 1 to 5 are the first echelon, teams 6 to 20 are the second echelon, and the ones after that are the third echelon.
Usually the third echelon is mainly responsible for E-level events, the second echelon is D-level, and the first echelon is C-level.
There are only five teams in the entire Black Light Branch that can handle C-level beast incidents, which is already a very considerable number.
The newcomers who just came out of the training camp are basically trained in the third echelon. After one or two years, they will be promoted to the second echelon. If the second echelon has a shortage of personnel, the speed of selection and promotion from the third echelon will be accelerated accordingly.
The team number is maintained permanently. Even if the team is wiped out, the number will still be there and people will be arranged to fill it.
The Team 17 that Xu Shen was going to join was obviously short of members.
Xu Shen took the notice and found a small map of the Xu Secret Bureau on the back, which made Xu Shen feel quite thoughtful.
Following the map, Xu Shen arrived at the building of Team 17 to report.
Each team has a building, but I heard that the buildings where the top five numbered teams live are significantly better than those of other teams.
Xu Shen looked up at the Team 17 building. It looked quite upscale, very different from the shabby residential building where he lived.
There was no guard at the door, so Xu Shen entered the first floor. It was empty inside, but there was a counter and a front desk next to it.
The receptionist was a girl who looked about the same age as Xu Shen, with short hair and quite cute. When she heard the footsteps, she stood up hastily. When she saw Xu Shen carrying his luggage, she immediately understood what was going on and asked, "Hello, are you Xu Shen?"
Xu Shen noticed her honorific. There was a time when only they, the Fog People, would use . He had never seen the day when he would be addressed like that by others.
"I'm here to report, who are you?"
"My name is Xiao Min. I'm in charge of the basic logistics of our 17th floor. You can come to me if you need anything." The girl smiled sweetly and was looking at the boy in front of her... He was so handsome.
"Will I come to you if I need money?" Xu Shen asked curiously.
Xiao Min's expression froze, and she immediately felt that the boy's appearance had lost 10 points: "I mean, we're short of shampoo, shower gel, food and clothing..."
"Oh oh." Xu Shen blushed.
"Captain Zhou and the others are on the second floor. You can take the elevator up." Xiao Min said with a smile.
Xu Shen felt that her smile was very rigid and obviously fake, and he couldn't help but secretly shook his head. It seemed that he was better at managing his facial expressions...
After saying thank you, Xu Shen walked along the corridor next to him.
Xiao Min stared blankly at Xu Shen going up the stairs, then turned to look at the elevator facing the door with a puzzled look on her face.
As soon as he reached the second floor, Xu Shen saw that the environment here was obviously different from that downstairs.
Downstairs is an empty reception hall, which is still somewhat cool. It is covered with plush carpets, and there are several large sofas piled in the middle. There are drawing boards and other decorations everywhere on the walls, and there is a bookshelf against one of the walls.
At this moment, there were three people sitting on the sofa, two men and one woman. One of the men looked to be in his thirties, and the other two were younger, about twenty-four or twenty-five.
Hearing the footsteps, the middle-aged man looked up and sized up Xu Shen quickly with eyes like an eagle.
"Uh, hello, I'm Xu Shen, here to report in." Xu Shen scratched his head.
The other two looked up and looked at the new member.
"I heard that he is a newcomer. How can he keep himself in control all the time?" The young man asked with interest, a flash of emptiness in his eyes.
"Welcome to the team."
The middle-aged man looked at Xu Shen deeply, slowly put down the book in his hand, and said calmly: "I am Zhou Ye, the captain of Team 17."
Xu Shen took a look at the cover of his book, which was a pornographic photo.
"Hello, Captain..." Xu Shen said obediently.
"He Ming, go call Cao Fei out. From now on, you are teammates fighting side by side. Don't throw tantrums." Zhou Ye said.
The young man shrugged, stood up and went into the room.
"Her name is Su Shuang, and she is in charge of reconnaissance in the team." Zhou Ye introduced the young woman next to him.
"Hello, Sister Su." Xu Shen said obediently.
Su Shuang looked indifferent and just nodded slightly to Xu Shen as a greeting.
