After passing the spacious and grand hall, Wu Qi and his party followed Hicks into the elevator. The elevator is fixed on the 5th floor, and after exiting, there is a floor of several hundred square meters. The floors are all made of black reflective marble. On the right side is a long workbench with more than ten workers. On the left side is a glass wall with a clear view of the sky. There are several sets of sets placed by the window. Tables and chairs that look like rattan.
"That's where the department decides whether to change, upgrade or downgrade the organization. There, we will officially become second-level soldiers and producers, and receive new soldier uniforms and badges."
Wu Qi and his party are wearing the red soldier uniforms of Liming Base. After entering the establishment of Noah City, they will change into dark green soldier uniforms with dark tones, just like the soldiers who suddenly appeared when the mining area was about to overturn. The soldiers in the reinforcements wore the same uniform.
"Before we get there, he wants to ask us one last question." Hicks turned around and glanced at Wu Qi and his party seriously, "Do we want to continue to stay in the escort, or do we want to turn into the wall?" Outside the investigation team? He heard Joestar say that when he first assigned us to join the escort team, all of us volunteered to join the outside investigation team. He respects our current decision, which is not our right, but once Once it’s confirmed, it cannot be changed.”
Wu Qi, Gao Yuan, Chris, and Guo Baibo glanced at each other wrongly. Wu Qi received their glances and answered for everyone: "General, their decision has not changed, and they still want to join the investigation team outside the wall."
Hicks confirmed: "Are we sure? The guards are well-paid, work mostly outside the wall, and occasionally go to perform tasks outside the wall. The overall risk of the mission is much less than that of the investigators outside the wall, like the No. 130 mining area guard mission Such a rare situation will almost never happen again. If the mission is dangerous, he will also inform us of the outside situation before we set off. If we choose the outside-the-wall investigation team, there is actually not much difference between Dawn Base and Noah City."
Hicks spoke very clearly and clearly showed that he would take care of Wu Qi and others. Similarly, his subtext is "If we choose to go to the investigation team outside the wall, we will have to face the dangerous and uncertain wilderness on our own, and it will be difficult for him to take care of us."
Wu Qi's eyes were very firm as he said: "General, they are sure."
"Okay, tell me the reason." Although Hicks said "Okay", his tone and expression clearly showed that he didn't expect Wu Qi and his party to go to investigate the team outside the wall, as if he didn't want Wu Qi to Doing work that is extremely risky at every turn.
"Danger makes people grow. Their 'Black Riders' came to Dawn Base and Noah City. Although they did want to find a 'safe haven', their biggest purpose was not to live and work in peace there, but to become stronger and rise there! Because they have things they need to be strong enough to accomplish." Now he could finally speak out what Wu Qi was thinking.
After hearing what Wu Qi said, Hicks' expression paused, and he finally showed a relieved smile.
“It’s good to have experience and become stronger if you want Qiu Qiu. Our group of young people are full of energy and have such team cohesion and will. He believes that we will definitely become stronger and stronger, and then we can complete what Chi Bei Qiu has done!”
When Hicks heard from Joestar before whether Wu Qi and his team wanted to join the Beyond the Wall Investigation Team, he thought that after he explained the generous conditions of the Guards, Wu Qi would change his mind and stay in the Guards.
That's good, because they are a group of young people who are willing to stick to their ideals and are very energetic.
Hicks took a step forward, patted Wu Qi on the shoulder, and said: "There is nothing in this world that you can do without your own strength, whether it is physical or mental."
"Minghong."
Ten minutes later, all members of the Black Cavalry changed into dark green military uniforms, and the pattern of the chest badge changed into a silver ark with two horizontal bars, representing the status of a second-level soldier. What they asked to do when they came to the east was to report to the Survey Corps headquarters north of Noah City.
Time is not tight. Hicks told Wu Qi that they had two days to rest and recuperate. The soldiers' salary and bonus for the current mission had been transferred to their identity card accounts. They could buy a new home in those two days; their future home would be It's in Noah's city.
Wu Qi and his party fell in love with Hicks. Hicks originally planned to take them to the home buying market and recommend them to buy the right to live in a house with a good location and scenery. Wu Qi and others said that they had troubled General Hicks enough and wanted General Hicks to personally Be their driver. They can just do the rest themselves.
Hicks watched Wu Qi and his party leave the square in front of the Supreme Command Building while chatting, with a faint smile on his face.
Hicks found himself smiling very cruelly tomorrow, probably because of Wu Qi. When he saw Wu Qi, it was as if he was seeing his former self. I used to be so passionate. I felt that as a man, I should yearn for experience and become stronger.
If he had not denied his childhood dream, he would not have become a general, nor would he have met that adult, nor would he have stood there.
"What a terrible life." Hicks sighed. He turned around and walked slowly to the elevator door, entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 28th floor.
While the elevator was moving, Hicks closed his eyes to rest, and waited until the elevator stopped to open his eyes.
He took a step forward and followed a familiar path through the corridor. He stopped in front of a two-meter-wide mahogany-painted door.
Hicks put his face in front of the scanner and said, "Sir, no, Hicks."
The mahogany-coated Chico mechanical door opened back with a creak, revealing a spacious office that Hicks could not see in its entirety. The walls of the office are beige-colored, and the side where the sky can be seen is entirely made up of transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. The dark brown curtains were drawn halfway, allowing some red sunlight to shine in.
A luxurious purple carpet was spread from the door to the mahogany desk 15 meters away. The Lord of Noah City, whom he respected and was loyal to, was walking on the large office chair.
The position she was walking in was just in the area where the dark brown curtains could block the sun. From Hicks' position, she could roughly see her appearance. Her eye color and hair color appeared to be black.
The city lord likes a dark environment when no one is around, and Hicks doesn't know why.
"Sir." Hicks stepped on the purple carpet, walked to the middle of the purple carpet some distance away from the desk, stopped, and saluted with a slight arch of his back.
"Have the affairs of those children been arranged?" The city lord's voice was like the sound of a jade harp. Although there were traces of weathering, it did not conceal its feminine charm that gently caressed the ears.
