The light yellow pickup truck was driving on a spacious asphalt road with few vehicles, moving on a complicated and winding route. The houses on both sides receded at a moderate speed. A steady flow of pedestrians was distributed on the road and on the clean sidewalks without hungry people. Different storefronts were colorful, and through the store doors you could see faces of people in a good mood. . Together they embellish an urban scene that is anything but monotonous.
Wu Qi sat in the slightly shaking car, looking out the window at the changing scenery. The roar of the engine continued to echo in his ears. After about 10 minutes, the sound of the engine suddenly became quieter, and the pickup truck slowed down and stopped. Wu Qi looked to the front. In front of the front window was a 25-meter-wide gray road. There were two rows of green and tall street trees on both sides of the road. The lush crowns of the trees moved quietly in the gentle breeze. At the end of the road 50 meters away is a tall building. At the height of a car window, you can only glimpse the first-floor entrance of the building.
"Wu Qi, let's go." Wang Sheng shouted, opened the car door, slammed it and got out of the car.
Yang Dongchen got off the car from the left side, got into the cab and took over Wang Sheng's driving seat. He turned his head and smiled softly at Wu Qi, who was still sitting in the passenger seat: "Why, are you worried about your little fox? Don't worry, your luggage and pets will be left in the car. Wait until you and Wang Sheng are finished. Yes, I’ll wait for you in the car.”
Wu Qi nodded and looked back at Qiyue, who was squatting obediently on the back seat. His round, dark eyes seemed to contain a human intelligence. After looking at Qi Qi for a second, Wu Qi opened the car door with confidence and took his right leg out first.
Stepping onto the gray asphalt road, Wu Qi felt a different touch through the thick soles of his boots, which were stable and straight. This was not a touch that could be found on rugged small town streets or muddy and wet forest soil. The breeze blowing from the west doesn't have the fishy smell of the wild, it's so clean that it has no smell.
Standing in such an area, Wu Qi rarely felt a sense of security.
Wang Sheng reached out and shrugged the shoulders of his leather jacket, then walked to Wu Qi, stood half a step away from him, and led him forward. Wu Qi raised his head all the way, his eyes following the towering building over 60 meters to the sky where gray clouds were getting thicker. The building has a gray tone, and every area on the outside is a mechanical repetition, like a huge thing made up of exactly the same templates one after another, giving people an unreal visual sense.
There are no dark blue repeating windows on the top floor of the building. Instead, there are seven dark gray square steel characters - Sirius Mercenary Group. There is also a steel emblem at the front of the word "天", which is a sideways wolf head full of wild flavor. The giant wolf holds its head high and faces to the left. The frame of the wolf head is bright white, and the interior is dark and transparent, like a quiet universe. , a bright blue light as bright as a star is dotted in the center of the emblem, just like Sirius and the universe.
Wu Qi followed Wang Sheng up the five-step long and wide staircase of mixed white jade colors, and walked all the way to the main entrance, which was three meters high and more than four meters wide. The door on the first floor is made of bulletproof glass and is full of the style of the civilized era. There are four group guards of the Sirius Group on both sides of the main entrance. They are all wearing dark gray group uniforms. Two rows of six white round buttons are particularly prominent on the slender uniforms. There is the emblem of the Sirius Group on the left shoulder of the uniforms.
The group guards are all young people, and they are composed of two men and two women. They were not equipped with rifles or other weapons, but Wu Qi could feel the dangerous smell faintly emanating from their bodies through the slender uniforms of the group guards. This smell was 70-80% similar to Wang Sheng's. It was the smell of genetically enhanced warriors. .
Wang Sheng showed his second-level mercenary certificate. The four group guards did not stop him and stood quietly on both sides of the front. Wu Qi followed Wang Sheng into the lobby of the building. The area of the hall that can be seen from the entrance alone is more than 200 square meters. The floor of the hall is covered with cold white tiles, surrounded by snow-white walls and ceilings. A dark gray "modern-style" oval information desk from the civilized era sits in the center of the hall. The information desk is very large, and there are three or four uniformed staff sitting inside.
"Hi, Brother Xiang, we meet again!" Wang Sheng whistled and greeted an ordinary-looking man in his early thirties at the information desk.
Zhang Xiang stood up and said enthusiastically: "Hey, I'm back. Yo, is this guy next to you the one you like?"
Zhang Xiang looked at Wu Qi next to Wang Sheng. Wu Qi's clothes were all dark and the style was very ordinary. In the civilized era, even if you threw a pebble into a sea of people, you wouldn't be able to find it. He was holding a long knife wrapped in animal skin in his right hand. Judging from its appearance, it could only be seen as a long strip. But his face made Zhang Xiang look at it a few more times.
Wu Qi's skin is more delicate than everyone in the hall, and even fairer than the two female staff members next to Zhang Xiang. His facial features are exquisite, and his eyes as bright as obsidian are like the stars that have never been extinguished in the night sky. He is exceptionally agile. Godly and impressively beautiful. The slight rosiness on his cheeks and lips means that he is very healthy. His broad and strong arms support ordinary clothes. Overall, his figure can be said to be strong and well-proportioned.
As the front desk consultant of the group, Zhang Xiang has been looking at people for eight or nine years. What he looks at is not the external physique, but the temperament of the brows, and there is rarely anything wrong. Wang Sheng is now as enthusiastic and cheerful as he is when facing acquaintances, but his brows reveal an iron-blooded coldness that has been baptized by the flames of war. The temperament between Wu Qi's eyebrows gives Zhang Xiang a very clean and refreshing feeling. Combined with the flower-like face that grows in a greenhouse, at first glance, people think that he is an unexperienced young man, but there is an aura behind this cleanliness. It is also too calm, making it impossible to relate it to a leaf of duckweed drifting with the tide.
This was the first time that Zhang Xiang could not determine the temperament and appearance of a young man, or he could not believe the answers he got based on experience. However, Zhang Xiang was not surprised at all, because he believed that as long as Wu Qi passed the registration test, everything would come to light.
Zhang Xiang smiled and said: "It's a good seedling. Do you want to register and test it now?"
Wu Qi and Wang Sheng looked at each other, and Wang Sheng said for Wu Qi: "Well, now. I'll bother Brother Xiang."
"No trouble, let's go." Zhang Xiang walked out of the side door of the information desk and gave Wu Qi and the others a sign to follow.
Wu Qi and Wang Sheng followed Zhang Xiang out of the Sirius Group's reception hall and walked along the complicated corridors. The walls on both sides of the corridor are painted white, and every 10 meters there is a realistic landscape oil painting, or portraits and quotes of celebrities from the civilized era or the dark night era.
