There was a soft "drip" sound, which gently vibrated in the black tiger's eardrum.
At the same time, the optical computer chip implanted in the back of the brain emits a subtle electric current that naturally dissipates along the brain nerves.
The tiny electric current stimulated a small area of hair on Hei Hu's scalp to stand up, and his body instinctively trembled slightly, and he immediately woke up from his coma.
When Hei Hu woke up, he looked at the electronic bracelet, which had two times marked on it.
Standard time: 14:31, March 7, 4004.
Pegasus Mingjing time zone: May 6th 9:30.
The electronic bracelet also has his personal health data, heart rate 45 beats per minute, blood pressure 60/100, energy value 488/500, mental pollution index 7 (safe).
Hei Hu's gaze stayed on the mental pollution index for two seconds. Although he looked at this data every day, he still had to confirm it over and over again.
In the alien world where evil gods are rampant, the mental pollution index is the most important indicator.
If something goes wrong with the body, you can pay for surgery to repair it, or you can get a prosthetic body. But if something goes wrong with the mind, you can only enter cyberspace and find a temple for purification.
However, if the mental pollution value exceeds the risk line, it will be impossible to log into cyberspace.
For the aspiring Black Tiger, cyberspace is not only used to cleanse spiritual pollution, but is also the most important way of cultivation.
If one cannot practice, he will gradually be eliminated and eventually fall to the bottom of the society, becoming a believer of evil gods and finally a monster that is neither human nor ghost.
Black Tiger had killed hundreds of those monsters before, and he was very familiar with them. He would rather commit suicide than become one of them.
Another day has passed and all the values are normal, which makes Hei Hu in a good mood.
The wall, coated with a layer of lead, looked particularly dark, and the tempered glass wrapped around the metal guardrail was also covered with gray dust.
The sun has risen at this time, but because of various radiations and dust, the sun always appears as a grayish white ball of light in the sky.
The window of the room where Hei Hu lives faces north, and only on summer evenings can a glimmer of sunlight be seen.
However, just by seeing the vast expanse of white outside the window, Hei Hu knew that today would be a sunny day.
Hei Hu got up from the simple single bed and went to the bathroom barefoot. He looked at the count on the water meter and saw that there was still 120 liters of water.
Most of the water sources on Pegasus are polluted, and only purified water can be used safely. As a member of the company's contractor combat team, Black Tiger can purchase a limited amount of the company's clean water sources.
One hundred and twenty liters of water is enough for drinking and washing, but far less for bathing.
Heihu took a glass of clean water, drank half of it first, and then carefully brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth with an electric toothbrush.
He thought about it, then used a clean towel to get some clean water and wiped his body briefly.
It is said that a new minister will be parachuted in today, so please clean up the place, at least to leave a good impression on the other party.
For this purpose, Hei Hu even trimmed his thick beard.
The man in the mirror had thick eyebrows, fierce eyes, a straight nose and a straight mouth, and his facial features were strong and deep. Because he had not seen the sun for many years, his skin color was not dark, but rather a little pale.
The short hair stands out stubbornly, and the trimmed beard makes him look less rough and more mature.
In fact, his real age is only 24 years old, but in this dangerous world, labels such as immature, elegant, and refined are very dangerous, and are often seen by others as representing weakness and incompetence.
Black Tiger, who came from a low-income family, knew very well that no matter what you thought in your heart, you must remain tough to avoid trouble as much as possible.
Black Tiger changed into standard combat uniform and combat boots, checked his pistol, bullets, and dagger, and put on tactical gloves.
He tried to draw his weapon, adjusting the holster position slightly.
Hei Hu took out a pair of big sunglasses and put them on his face. After thinking about it, he resisted the urge to wear a tactical bulletproof vest.
This thing is not only heavy, but also very eye-catching. It can be tough, it can also be eye-catching and stylish, but too much arming will make you look guilty. It will cause trouble instead.
There are too many apostles of the evil god, and no one knows what they are thinking. As a field worker of a company contractor, I should try not to show my uniqueness.
Hei Hu packed up his gear and then pulled open the three heavy bolts on the door.
There are too many electronic devices in this world, and they are too easy to be hacked. The more primitive something is, the safer it is.
Hei Hu came out of the room and locked the door. The cement walls of the corridor were covered with colorful graffiti. The special paint was shining brightly, and it was unclear what the random and disordered patterns meant.
When a normal person sees this pattern, the first feeling they have is irritation.
Hei Hu was very familiar with the pattern on the wall, because he had someone draw it on purpose. No one wanted to face such a chaotic pattern, and it was also an effective and covert means of dispersing vagrants and idlers.
Hei Hu took the shabby elevator to the parking lot downstairs, paid a credit point to the old man who was guarding it, and took out his own motorcycle.
The rugged electric motorcycle has many scratches on its surface and looks a bit worn out. But it is powered by a nuclear battery and only needs to be charged once every 3,000 kilometers.
Riding his motorcycle, Heihu rushed to the company headquarters at lightning speed.
Coming out of the underground parking lot, someone whistled at Hei Hu, and a scantily clad woman tried to grab Hei Hu, but Hei Hu pushed her away coldly.
Such a woman is either physically ill or mentally ill. In any case, she should never be touched.
The long road is flat, but there is all kinds of garbage everywhere. There are no automatic robots to clean the road, and the manual cleaning is perfunctory and inefficient.
Because of the rebellion of artificial intelligence machines hundreds of years ago, there are not many intelligent machines to be seen in the alien world.
Even the entire technological level is constantly declining, because the alliance has gradually abandoned the alien star regions, allowing these star regions to continue to degenerate.
Only those who have achieved the Golden Elixir are qualified to migrate to the central star field.
Black Tiger's biggest dream is to escape from the quagmire of Pegasus and retire in the Central Star Region.
For this, he worked very hard and practiced very hard.
Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, the possibility of him achieving the golden elixir is very slim.
The chance of an ordinary person achieving a golden elixir is equivalent to a person starting a business from scratch and then earning a billion. This possibility is not impossible, but it is pitifully low.
Hei Hu also knew that he had little chance, but in this chaotic and depressing world, if he didn't have any hope in his heart, he would become a madman sooner or later.
This was also the truth that a deceased elder brother had told Hei Hu, and he deeply agreed with it.
Heihu works so diligently because Yuanlong Company offers good benefits.
On Pegasus, Yuanlong Company is a top company. Although the company's real headquarters is in the central star field, Yuanlong Company has many branches in the outer star fields.
Especially Mingjing of Pegasus, it is said that the headquarters of Yuanlong Company was here a thousand years ago. It is said that the eternal and immortal God Emperor was a shareholder of Yuanlong Company.
It was for this reason that Hei Hu chose Yuanlong Company. After working there for two years, he realized that all companies were the same, and their essence was to plunder profits.
The company doesn't care about personal relationships, nor does it care about morality. It's the same in every company. The only difference is the rules and regulations of the company.
Compared to other companies, Yuanlong Company also has many shady dealings, with the top executives being extremely greedy and the bottom employees being cold and snobbish.
However, it is the same all over the world. Hei Hu has accepted his fate. At least Yuanlong Company is a big company with good benefits. What else can he complain about
Hei Hu swiped his ID card at the company entrance and entered the underground garage after verification. When he arrived at the company's field office, seven or eight people from the team had already arrived.
When they saw Hei Hu coming in, everyone just glanced at him and no one said anything.
Everyone is here to make a living, not to make friends. It is also a default rule to try not to make friends with colleagues.
However, after spending a long time together, there will eventually be one or two people you can talk to.
"Lao Hei, have you eaten yet? Let's eat together."
The tall and strong Tiedun stood up and muttered that he wanted to have dinner with Heihu.
Iron Shield and Black Tiger have been colleagues for three years. They have always had a tacit understanding in combat and have a good relationship.
As for why the other party is called Iron Shield, it is a nickname just like Black Tiger.
They all have no names, only identity numbers. It is a very sad fact that they have no parents and are all cultivated by the company through technological means.
Hei Hu nodded: "Together."
The two of them came to the company's restaurant. The three meals a day in a large company are free, and the food is quite good. There are all kinds of natural meat products, vegetables, and fruits. You can have a full meal at a very low price.
"I heard that the new minister is a woman, her last name is Wei, and she should be here to gild her reputation."
Although Tiedun looks rough, he is actually very thoughtful. While eating beef, he explained to Heihu: "The senior executives of Yuanlong Company are all surnamed Wei. This woman might have come from the Central Star Region."
His big eyes showed strong desire: "If we can get hold of this woman, we will be awesome."
Hei Hu didn't have such an idea. "The people in the Central Star Region are crazy. They come here to gild themselves. Don't think too much. The Wei family has been passed down for thousands of years. If the surname Wei doesn't have 100 million, there must be 80 million..."
"Think about what you are afraid of."
Tiedun said seriously: "As a new leader, it's always a good idea to perform well. It's time for us to get promoted. Once we become team leaders, our lives will be better."
Although the field team is a contractor of the company and is responsible for the company's field operations, in reality, it is directly managed by the company.
This contractor also wanted to avoid legal responsibility. If something really went wrong, the company could easily pass the buck.
After all, the field tribe often fights, and there’s no telling what kind of trouble they might get into.
Black Tiger had worked in the company for three years and had only managed to get to P2 after working very hard. Iron Shield was also P2. When he got to P3, he might be qualified to be the leader of the field team.
Heihu felt a little excited after hearing what Tiedun said. That's right, a team leader can command an action team, with higher authority, better benefits and less danger.
That’s right, the current goal should be to strive to become a team leader.
Tiedun patted Heihu on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I will fully support you."
Hei Hu lowered his eyes slightly, "You are older and more powerful, you should be the team leader. How can I be qualified?"
"We are brothers, it doesn't matter who takes the throne."
Tiedun was very satisfied with Heihu's attitude, and he waved his hand proudly.
After breakfast, Tiedun and Heihu returned to the office. All the team members were already there, and they just sat there in silence, with a dull atmosphere in the room.
By half past ten, all combat teams of the Field Support Department had gathered in the conference room.
The Field Support Department had more than 20 combat teams, each with 8 to 12 people. Two or three hundred people stood in the conference room, divided into small circles by teams, and it looked a bit messy.
A young and beautiful woman with short hair stood on the podium. She was wearing a dark blue military uniform and looked extremely capable and heroic.
For some reason, Hei Hu felt that this woman looked very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.
But his memory told him that he had never had any contact with this woman in his life. There was no way he could know her.
"My dear colleagues, my name is Wei Ying, which means hero. From today on, the Field Affairs Department will be in charge of me."
After briefly introducing himself, Wei Ying said in a deep voice: "Company intelligence shows that the followers of the Wolf God Cult in the West Seventh Ring Road are planning to attack the company. Today, all members of our field department will be dispatched to clean up the Wolf God Cult and kill the other party's apostles..."
Looking at the heroic and capable Wei Ying on the podium, Hei Hu's head hurt more and more, and some messy memory fragments suddenly popped up, "This woman looks like Wei Yue, huh? Who is Wei Yue!"
