Chapter 14 Prelude

 Bah! Bah! Bah!

A square revolver fired one after another in Tang Ji's hand. This type of firearm with a rotating structure has been around for hundreds of years since it was invented by humans, but for Tang Ji, this was the first time he had come into contact with this kind of firearm.

arms.

The "Prelude" produced by Military Technology has a classic mechanical transmission structure and a hard-core shape, allowing every classic enthusiast to experience the fun of the bullet cylinder rotating on the gun axis.

Although it was a new gun, after a few shots, Tang Ji fell in love with the heavy shooting feel. The only thing he didn't like was that the number of bullets in the gun was only six.

His previous personal gun was the M-10 AF Lexington pistol uniformly issued by the Law Enforcement Bureau. It was one of the best-selling products of Military Technology and had a full magazine of twenty-one bullets.

Tang Ji was already accustomed to firearms with large magazines, and the Mozambique shooting method he used before also required a large number of ammunition to support.

But these are not as big as the advantages brought by [Revolver Revival]. He glanced at the alloy target twenty meters away, and there were three football-sized craters on it.

The power was doubled, but the recoil did not change at all. The superhuman ability was really weird. Tang Ji fired three more shots, carefully savoring the changes that had happened to him.

...There is no change at all, no mental pressure, no loss of physical strength. Tang Ji doesn't understand, what force changes the kinetic energy damage caused by the bullet?

No wonder those companies want to study superhuman beings. The changes involved have simply rubbed all the scientific concepts previously established by mankind to the ground.

Tang Ji shook off the revolver with some familiarity, loaded another set of bullets into the magazine, reloaded and aimed at the opposite target, firing one shot after another.

Tang Ji was the only one in the empty target room. The monotonous but crisp gunshot made him realize why this gun was named Prelude.

It’s not hard to choose bullets for Prelude, but if you want the best effect, the only option is to use the Prelude 44MAG special bullet specially developed for it by military technology.

Amidst the gunshots, Tang Ji's eyes gradually flashed past scenes. He received the badge symbolizing the status of a law enforcement officer for the first time, assigned his own patrol car for the first time, fired a gun for the first time...

Boom!

Then came the first time he took away the lives of others. Tang Ji would never regret the bullet he shot. At that time, he firmly believed that he could make the world a better place.

Boom!

Angelina's smile appeared, wearing a wedding dress, looking at him from a distance, just like before...

Boom!

That was the first time he saw a metahuman, and behind him were panicked pedestrians...

Boom!

When Tang Ji learned that Angelina was pregnant for the first time, he excitedly spent all his savings and bought a second-hand nanny car...

Boom!

He seemed to hear the sirens all over the streets that night again, and there were traffic jams everywhere. He was only less than ten kilometers away from Angelina, but it seemed like he was separated by the whole world...

Boom!

He saw that his hands were covered with blood, behind him was a mushroom cloud rising into the sky, black snow falling from the sky, and the baby's cry was the only sound he could hear...

Snap!

The prelude ended abruptly, and the real world suddenly returned like a flood, crashing into Tang Ji's mind.

...

...

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Tang. I haven't seen you patrolling this area since that incident." Wood, the owner of the weapons store, is a white man in his forties. Tang Ji used to live in this area and is a frequent customer.

.

"I've adjusted the area." Tang Ji put the prelude on the table: "It's a good gun. Here are ten boxes of bullets and cash."

"Thanks to your patronage, the gun costs 4,000 yuan. There are not so many special-purpose bullets. There are only two boxes, one box costs 400, and one box of ordinary .44 caliber bullets costs 120." Wood shrugged: "The price of weapons has skyrocketed recently. I

It’s already a law enforcement discount.”

Tang Ji's expression twisted: "Half cash, half credit card!"

"When did the skyrocketing price of weapons you mentioned start? There have been a lot of people buying weapons recently?" Tang Ji asked while counting the money. This was already his instinct.

"The most worry-free thing to sell in Night City is guns, but this price increase has nothing to do with the street gangs. It's the price increase in the entire channel." Wood took out boxes of bullets: "It's not just military technology.

The price of goods is rising, and the goods of other arms dealers are also rising. Once I have almost cleared my inventory, I plan to retire."

Tang Ji looked at Wood, who was a little less interested, and then remembered the conversation with Wu Qianying, and his expression became even more gloomy.

It seemed that except for him, the entire world was braced for the coming turmoil.

Tang Ji drove the car all the way to the Law Enforcement Bureau. He spent the best time of his life here, but now there seems to be nothing worth remembering here.

"Good afternoon, law enforcer Tang Ji, you have no work schedule today, please enjoy your vacation!" The voice of the General Administration's virtual AI accompanied Tang Ji through the door.

"Do you need me to direct you to the activity room/shooting range/training range/lounge/mental health room?"

"No need, where is Adams?" Tang Ji walked all the way through the civilian staff office area. It was undeniable that after this place was privately contracted, it gained everyone's approval for receiving police calls.

In the past, the law enforcement bureau would not hire women with sweet voices to answer the phone, and no one would conduct telephone follow-up interviews to survey the satisfaction of law enforcement officers after they completed their tasks.

"Manager Adams, is hosting the interview for the new enforcer in the conference room. Do you need to make an appointment for you, Manager Adams? There are five people waiting in line before you. The estimated waiting time is two hours and twenty-two minutes."

"New law enforcer?" Tang Ji walked all the way towards the conference room, not intending to wait that long.

"Yes, according to the latest employment plan of the Hardy Global Defense Group-Night City Law Enforcement Bureau branch, the Night City Law Enforcement Bureau will recruit five to eight superhumans as new law enforcers."

"Oh, superhuman law enforcer." Tang Ji pushed open the door of the conference room. It was not that he looked down on the character of superhumans, but that he knew very well that the income of law enforcers could not satisfy those superhumans who were unwilling to accept the status quo.

Any superhuman with some real skills can easily earn a high salary in a company or federal agency.

Sure enough, in the conference room, a fat man with oily hair loss was looking at six irritated interviewers with a sad face, wiping his sweat constantly.

"You can legally carry guns, but you must wear the uniform of a law enforcement officer, and the same applies to your car. You cannot modify it without permission." Adams said while flipping through the documents in his hand: "There is also a criminal record. As long as you join the Law Enforcement Bureau, your previous criminal record can be written off.

."

It turned out that this was Adams' trump card. Tang Ji unceremoniously pulled out a chair and sat next to Adams: "What case record? Let me take a look."

At this time, one of the interviewers suddenly stood up and walked out without saying anything.
