Chapter 14 When I was young, I only felt that there were stars to pick from.
A brown-haired boy wearing sunglasses was holding a cigarette and leaning on the shelf of Ji's grocery store, playing with a small metal disc engraved with strange words.
"Boss, what is this?"
Ji Qinglin took a sip of tea and said:
"My little brother has good eyesight. This is the life compass of the old era. When you don't know how to choose in life, you can turn it on your fingertips and it will naturally point you in the direction."
"But I don't recognize the symbols on it."
"The meaning of the symbol is what you give it."
The young man nodded as if he had some understanding, and was quite satisfied with Ji Qinglin's explanation.
Ji Qinglin subconsciously took a few steps back and distanced himself from the young man.
It’s a shame that I’m not from the old days. Otherwise, if I heard myself talking nonsense like this, I would be hit in the face with this fidget spinner.
"I want it, how much does it cost?"
"50 yuan."
Shen Bixin, who was waiting impatiently at the door for a long time, cursed:
"What a profiteer! Big stuff is so expensive! You just go and grab it."
Ji Qinglin smiled instead of getting angry:
"Ma'am, if you rob me, you won't rob someone from the Defense Mobile Team. Isn't this causing trouble for yourself?"
"Do you recognize us?"
"I don't know him, but this little brother forgot to take off his armband."
The Mobile Defense Force is a privately employed security force of the Kuala Lumpur Anseong Defense Company.
These days are not stable, and because of practicing Taoism, many individuals' abilities have been improved.
In order to protect themselves, many wealthy people not only finance Qigong practitioners, but also hire mobile defense teams to request rescue when they need it.
The Defense Mobile Force is also one of the very few organizations that has the right to bear arms in this era of gun bans. After all, after the split of North America, people finally realized the importance of gun bans.
"Sister, there are no cheap relics from the old era."
After the boy finished speaking, he handed the banknotes to Ji Qinglin.
"Boss, if you have similar relics, please contact me. I'm very interested in them."
"Chenghui Chenghui, no problem, what do you call me little brother?"
quack--
Seeing the banknotes, the coal boss jumped up excitedly, spread his wings and flew to the table next to the brown-haired boy.
"My name is Shen Bitao. Boss, the black chickens you raise are very cute."
Shen Bitao introduced a person who was stroking the black feather of the coal boss.
"Remember it, Brother Shen, I, the coal boss, know you. He often comes to visit the shop when he has time, and he will become more familiar with you."
Shen Bitao said hello and was about to leave when the coal boss jumped up suddenly and landed on his shoulder, tugging hard on his clothes.
"What? You don't want me to leave? Boss, do you still understand human nature like a bird?"
Shen Bixin snorted coldly:
"Are you reluctant to let the God of Wealth leave?"
Ji Qinglin stepped forward and took the coal boss away.
"I'm sorry, maybe this little guy is interested in you, but Brother Shen, sometimes animals have special feelings, so if nothing happens today, I suggest you try not to go out after you get home."
You can talk nonsense about money matters, but you should be careful about what you say when it comes to good or bad luck.
There are no stories about animals leaving their owners in this era. Shen Bitao naturally didn't take it seriously, but still responded politely:
"Thank you boss for reminding me, I'll come back another day."
As the two siblings left the grocery store, Shen Bixin reminded:
"There are everyone in this city, don't expose your identity easily, and don't spend so much money."
"I know, sister, but after all, we are still half of the upper class. What does it matter if we help the common people appropriately?"
As Shen Bitao spoke, he took out another cigarette, but before he lit it up, Shen Bixin took it away.
"Didn't you promise to smoke less?"
"Sister, it's inconvenient to smoke while working, why don't you let me smoke comfortably?"
Both siblings are outstanding team members selected by the Anseong Defense Company. The younger brother is responsible for tactical rescue, and the older sister is responsible for medical rescue.
The situations that customers encounter are different every time, but with the outstanding capabilities of the company's team and the name of the mobile defense team, the problems can basically be solved easily.
The salary Anseong Defense gives them is worth every danger they solve. After all, in the face of life and money, rich people will still choose; those who have no money don't have to choose, and they don't have a choice anyway.
Anseong Defense adopts different levels of service systems: Bronze can provide door-to-door medical treatment, Silver can provide one door-to-door rescue, Gold can provide one location-based rescue during working hours, and the highest platinum level can provide one emergency rescue regardless of time.
The company's main focus is platinum-level service that can rescue customers no matter what.
Relying on the relatively high income, the siblings can live a pretty good life in Kuala Lumpur.
Shen Bitao likes this job not only because of the income, but most importantly, he feels that he can save people from fire and water like a hero.
This realization of self-worth makes young Shen Bitao have no regrets about rescuing clients from danger again and again.
Not everyone has the opportunity to stand in such a position. Most people in Kuala Lumpur are still running for a living, being selected and replaced like tools, but they are different, at least Shen Bitao thinks so.
Shen Bixin is not as passionate as her younger brother, but she shares the same view with him on this point.
In order to ensure that platinum-level customers are provided with 24-hour personnel services, the defense mobile team adopts a shift system.
Dudududu——
The office alarm lights came on again.
The siblings, who returned to the company for their rotation at night, had just finished changing their clothes when the alarm went off. It was an emergency call from a platinum-level customer.
"wait for me!"
Shen Bitao said excitedly while quickly changing into combat equipment.
Shen Bixin also brought emergency treatment supplies, and the two of them boarded the helicopter with three other prepared team members and rushed to the client's location: an abandoned building outside the city.
In New Malaysia and most areas, the gun ban has much stricter requirements for Qi practitioners than ordinary people. It even stipulates that the installed prosthetic body cannot contain firearms.
Of course, the official reason is for stability. Qigong warriors are already powerful individuals. If they are paired with guns, there will be no possibility of being able to manage them.
Taking into account the cost-effectiveness of hiring powerful Qi warriors, Anjo Defense naturally chose to hire ordinary people, and the weapons should not be too powerful, otherwise the company would not be able to bear the losses.
Therefore, in addition to the body armor, the only weapons used by defense mobile team members are firearms and functional weapons.
On the helmet is each person's number, which is marked by the ancient English letters ABCDE. During the task, the names are not called directly. The explanation given by the company is to facilitate communication.
The helicopter was parked on the roof of the building, and the five-man team quickly went down the stairs with their equipment. Explosions could be heard from below in the corridor, but the source could not be identified.
The explosions were mixed with screams, and the team could only judge that there were many people.
Hearing that the customer's situation was very bad, the team quickened their pace. Fortunately, they only ran down three floors before they met the employer whose suit was torn. He was limping. It seemed that his leg was injured. There are also two younger brothers who are equally embarrassed.
The three of them looked as panicked as if they had just escaped from the battlefield in North Africa. When the customer saw the protective mobile team, he breathed a sigh of relief and complained at the same time:
"Thank God! Why did you come here?! Take me away quickly!"
Shen Bitao, who was wearing helmet No. A, made a gesture, and the team immediately surrounded the customer. Shen Bixin, No. B and C, helped the customer go upstairs.
The two remaining boys also wanted to follow, but the customer waved his hand and said:
"Don't come up in a hurry! Stop it for me!"
When the two younger brothers saw this, they looked at each other and said nothing. It could be seen that they were also Qi Refiners, but they seemed to be very afraid of the things in the corridor.
Shen Bitao fired two rounds of Tangmen Prosthetic virus bombs and tear gas into the corridor, and turned around and asked:
"How many people are there on the other side?"
"Just one fucking person! A thief and a fucking perverted dead monk."
Shen Bitao was also very curious as to how a single monk could turn them into such a state, and judging from the situation, they must have lost many people below.
But now is not the time to satisfy curiosity. The first priority of the mobile defense team is to ensure the safety of customers. Shen Bitao continued to direct the team to run upstairs with his employer.
Click——
After walking only one floor, a blue-purple lightning struck upward from the corridor below, hitting the floor next to it and knocking down a large amount of cement.
