This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 16 Report, Accident

The City Guard headquarters was in the core area of ​​Silver Gray City, not very close to where he was. It took more than an hour to get there by taking the skytrain that crossed the city. When he arrived, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

As the violent law enforcement agency of Silver Ash City, the City Guard Department is quite magnificent, nearly 900 meters high. Such a height makes it stand out compared with the surrounding buildings.

The silver-white metal exterior walls reflected the dim sunlight in the mid-afternoon. Aerial traction tracks intertwined between the buildings, with shuttle-shaped aerial tracks passing through from time to time.

There are many people coming and going here. They are wearing blue and black uniforms and have calm expressions.

From time to time, aircraft would fall down and fly up, their engines spewing blue-purple flames and quickly disappearing in the sky.

He wanted to go in, but was stopped. The heroic female guard looked him up and down, "What are you doing? Do you have an appointment?"

“Uh…I’m here to report…” Li Ming responded.

"Report?" The female guard raised her eyebrows slightly, "Which department?"

"It should be Yang Peng, Captain Yang..."

Upon hearing this, the female guard raised her hand. There was a blue ring on her white wrist. "Calling the Security Department, are there any new people reporting today?"

Li Ming couldn't hear a response, and the female guard looked at him again: "What's your name?"

"Li Ming"

"Wait here for a moment, someone will come to pick you up." Her attitude became much warmer.

Li Ming thanked her and chatted with the female guard.

After waiting for a while, the glass door opened and a young man came out. He frowned at first, but when he saw the female guard, he forced a smile and said, "Excuse me, Sister Yu."

"It's no big deal, take this brother in quickly." Sister Yu smiled sweetly.

The young man took Li Ming inside. It was surprisingly quiet here.

"My name is Li Ning." The young man leading the way complained, "Why are you here just now? I waited for more than half an hour this morning, but I didn't see you."

"Sorry, Brother Li, I had something to do this morning and was delayed." Li Ming apologized. No matter what, it was late after all.

Li Ning turned around and glanced at him. Isn't he a taciturn person?

But after hearing him say that, I felt much more comfortable and my expression softened. “It’s not a big deal, just remember to be punctual next time.”

Leading newcomers is a tough job. The old hands who have followed Captain Yang for several years have met him a few times and have not given him a very good evaluation, saying that he is timid, taciturn, and probably not very capable in getting things done.

All in all, it was even more miserable, but he didn't want to ruin his relationship with the other party.

"Captain Yang asked you to follow me first, familiarize yourself with the process, go register first, and get the things you need." Li Ning took Li Ming to the elevator and went to the 143rd floor.

"Lao Wang...it's your turn on duty today." Li Ning greeted him familiarly.

There was another person in front, with a round face and a beard, who was receiving something. He looked back but didn't say anything, and Li Ning didn't greet him either.

This place seemed to be a warehouse, with thick metal walls. Li Ming was jealous. Well... I'll deduct some money, just a little bit, it shouldn't be a problem.

Forget it, he gave up again. There are surveillance cameras everywhere here, so it’s better not to do anything weird.

There was only a small door here, and a thin head poked out, looking rather wretched. "It's you, kid. What's the matter?"

"The new guy is in charge of the security." Li Ning said.

Hearing this, the guy who was about to leave turned around and looked at Li Ming, then quickly retracted his gaze and left in the elevator.

"name."

"Li Ming."

"Oh, I just reported in." Lao Wang called up the data and checked it carefully.

After making sure there was no problem, he entered the warehouse, waited for a while, and then took out a blue and black uniform, a metal shield, and a black short stick.

"Uniforms, riot shields, batons...sign once you're sure everything is OK." He popped up a virtual screen.

Li Ming looked at Li Ning and saw him nod. Then Li Ming signed. He picked up the things, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

[B-11 Explosion-proof Shield - Unclassified: Police standard explosion-proof shield, no special features. Control conditions: 3 metal energy points

Control effect: Physical strength boost--10%
Control ability - Strong Wall: Increases defense by 20%]

[G-12 police baton - not rated: standard police baton, no special features.

Control conditions: 1 metal energy points

Control Effect: Close Combat--Beginner
Control ability - stick attack: charge for two seconds, add 10% strength. 】

Tsk... They are worthy of being a law enforcement agency. They just joined and they threw two controllable items to us.

The baton is nothing special, but the explosion-proof shield is pretty good, and it also provides physical strength and defensive measures. After upgrading, it should be quite powerful.

Even if a piece of cake falls from the sky, it makes people happy.

Looking at the smile on Li Ming's lips, Li Ning couldn't help but shake his head. Coming here doesn't mean you can sit back and relax. This kid is too happy too early.

"Brother Li, don't we distribute guns here?" Li Ming asked as they were waiting for the elevator.

"Gun?" Li Ning laughed. "You just joined, how can I let you touch a gun? You have to get past me first."

"Your level?"

"You learn from me first. After a month, I will issue an evaluation report. If it doesn't work, you may not be able to stay here." Li Ning said with a slight warning.

Of course, for Captain Yang's sake, he would not make any excessive reports. He just said this because he didn't want the other party to rest easy, so as to avoid difficulties in the future.

Li Ming seemed to be thinking about something. At this moment, there was a ding-dong sound and the elevator door opened. Li Ning was about to walk in when his expression changed slightly.

The elevator was packed with people, all wearing blue and black uniforms. Leading the group was a thin middle-aged man with sinister eyes, dark yellow skin, and messy hair.

"Captain Zhao... Captain Zhao..." Li Ning's throat rolled and he greeted him with a stiff upper lip.

"I heard that Yang Peng has a new recruit under his command." His voice was hoarse and his eyes fell on Li Ming.

Li Ning secretly groaned, how come he met this guy? Didn’t he go out in the morning?
He stood in front of Li Ming and forced a smile: "Captain Zhao, what brings you here? Are you going to..."

Captain Zhao interrupted directly: "Newcomers, even if they are auxiliary guards, need to be assessed, but I checked the records of the past two days and no one has been assessed."

"Captain Zhao...you..." Li Ning's face changed slightly, but he saw that everyone in the elevator came out, surrounded Li Ning, and forced him to the side, but no one took action.

Of course, Li Ning didn't dare to make the first move. He was sweating profusely, "Captain Zhao, do you really want to..."

"Are you the newcomer?" He walked up to Li Ming and said coldly, "You were allowed in without any assessment. Does Yang Peng regard the City Guard Department as his home?"

Compared to Li Ning's anxiety, Li Ming was much calmer: "I'm sorry, I wanted to take the test some time ago, but my father just passed away. According to the customs of my hometown, I need to mourn for him for a few days, so I was delayed. I am here for the test today."

Captain Zhao paused, and the scrutiny and half-smiles in the eyes of the others froze, and they quickly restrained themselves, becoming slightly serious. This excuse...

When a loved one dies, no one can blame anyone. Otherwise, once it is exposed on the Star Internet, you will be skinned alive even if you don't die.

This matter is easy to investigate and I don't think he is lying.

Li Ning was stunned, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, that's right, we plan to wait for Captain Yang to come back..."

"No need to wait for him, just go." Captain Zhao quickly thought of a solution: "Rules are dead, people are alive. Since this kind of thing has happened, it is normal to delay for two days, but since we are here, we should not delay it, so as not to cause trouble for Captain Yang."

He did not allow any questioning and moved aside, making it clear that he wanted to drag Li Ming in.

Joining the City Guard Department without review is obviously problematic, otherwise there would be no need to take this illegal approach.

Now is a sensitive moment. The interstellar review team and Blue Star escort personnel are on the way. Any small problem will be magnified. He will not miss this opportunity.

Yang Peng…you brought it up yourself, so don’t blame me.

Hey!
This Zhao Xiong, bastard, is really a piece of shit!
Li Ning cursed in his heart, he knew Li Ming's background and there was no way he could pass the test.

It’s not like other people haven’t done this before. It’s just this time that Captain Yang has done this in all these years, and he happened to run into this old bastard.

He was anxious but helpless. He wanted to take out his smart terminal to inform others, but he had no chance and could only be dragged into the elevator.
