After making the changes, Han Fei went to the shooting range to test the gun—although the shooting range in his Special Operations Department facility was still level 0, it just meant there were no attribute bonuses, but the gun-testing function was still available.

Da da da……

The muzzle flashes drew intermittent golden lines across the firing range. The steel target a hundred meters away sparked continuously under the barrage of bullets. The recoil was transmitted along the buttstock to the shoulder, but Han Fei steadily suppressed it into a straight trajectory.

The drum magazine was quickly emptied, and the sound of the empty magazine locking up was particularly crisp amidst the smoke. Han Fei released the trigger, quite satisfied with the result.

"not bad."

Han Fei removed the empty drum magazine, and the new drum magazine made a pleasant mechanical clicking sound when it was inserted into the gun.

Looking at the gun full of ammunition belts, Han Fei couldn't help but complain, "This GTI is a real rip-off. At the firing range, you can fire any bullet you want, and you can even spray water with red bullets, but when it comes to actual combat, I have to pay for my own bullets. What an amazing organization."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Fei couldn't help but yawn.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Take a nap, and when you wake up, it's time to explore the secrets."

Han Fei walked out of the shooting range, casually bought a batch of trendy little junk items from the trading house, and then returned to his dormitory to fall into a deep sleep.

Han Fei had a dream in which he had a warehouse full of bright red diamonds, including five Hearts of Africa. Just as he was about to show them off, he suddenly discovered that all the bright red diamonds in his warehouse had disappeared, and even the five Hearts of Africa had all turned into radioactive diamonds.

The dream was so terrifying that Han Fei was jolted awake and sat bolt upright.

"Holy crap, G2 is terrifying."

Cold sweat soaked his back. He instinctively reached for his pillow, but instead of his phone, he found a cold bedside table.

The icy touch finally pulled him back to reality. The emergency light in the Special Operations Department dormitory cast a pale blue glow in the corner. Han Fei stared at the familiar pipe patterns on the ceiling, then suddenly forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Damn, it wasn't a dream after all."

Volume 1: Chapter 70 Welcome to the Space Base

Although I was woken up by a fright, the whole night had passed in the truest way.

Han Fei quickly washed up, and while he was at it, he ordered a new batch of trendy little junk from the trading house. Then he came out of his dormitory.

Texas arrived at the cafeteria early, sitting at a table with her chin resting on her hand, her gray-blue wolf ears gleaming like satin under the light.

As Han Fei approached, the girl's fingertips were unconsciously tapping lightly on the table, the rhythm like some kind of encrypted Morse code.

"Up so early?"

Texas looked up at the sound, her gradient-colored eyes reflecting Han Fei's image: "I'm a light sleeper."

She paused, then suddenly smiled and said, "I'm hungry, boss."

"Uh, don't rush, let me buy it."

Han Fei decisively went to the trading house and bought two servings of fried noodles. After a quick and easy preparation, the two steaming bowls of fried noodles were served on the table.

The steam from the fried noodles wafted between the two of them, forming a thin mist. Through this mist, Han Fei looked at the girl's delicate jawline and said, "After you finish eating, get ready. We'll be leaving soon."

This is also why Han Fei is so eager to go out on field missions. Staying in the Special Operations Department is not only a waste of his savings, but also because Hafk's large hand is so abstract.

Fried noodles cost 8,000 yuan, who can afford that!

"Where?"

Texas stopped eating and asked.

"You'll know when it arrives."

Han Fei didn't say it explicitly; in fact, he didn't know where he would appear in the next round.

"Oh."

Texas responded and buried her head to continue eating her fried noodles.

Before long, the two bowls of fried noodles were finished. Texas wiped her mouth and said to Han Fei, "I'm ready. When do we leave?"

"Please wait a moment, just a little while later."

As Han Fei spoke, he summoned the control panel and made final preparations.

After his big sale, his Huff coins were back to 510,000. Although this amount of money wasn't much, a 6.8 purple bullet only cost 1770 each, which was more than enough to buy 250 bullets.

Han Fei purchased 250 purple bullets and immediately checked the condition of his head armor and medicine.

His helmet had a minor damage, a result of the rollover. It only lost a few durability points, so it wasn't a big problem; it could be repaired and reused.

The blue blood pack only had a little over 100 durability left. After hesitating for a moment, Han Fei didn't replace it with a new one, but instead replaced it with two needles with 60 durability each.

The surgical kit and painkillers were brand new; he hadn't suffered any serious injuries, so there was no need to replace them.

After checking the situation, Han Fei was about to select a map when he suddenly realized something was wrong—if this is the case, how am I supposed to get Texas to come along?

Based on his gaming experience, Han Fei instinctively looked at the bottom right corner of the screen. There were three boxes in the bottom right corner. Han Fei's own large avatar occupied one of them, while the other two boxes contained a plus sign.

Han Fei clicked on it, and then Texas's image appeared in the list.

He tried selecting Texas, and the next second, Texas's portrait replaced the plus sign in the box and appeared next to Han Fei's portrait.

Han Fei immediately understood; this meant the team had been successfully formed.

After taking care of all that, Han Fei began to select a map.

As the map unfolded, four locations appeared in front of Han Fei in turn: Zero Dam, Longbow Valley, Bakshi, and the Space Base. After a brief hesitation, he made his choice.

"Welcome to the space base, a place brimming with futuristic technology."

Space base, classified mode!

Han Fei is a place he'll have to go to sooner or later.

The reason is simple: the materials for upgrading the Special Operations Department are only available here.

Based on past experience, he would likely be thrown into Terra, but who knows what supplies he might find? Who knows, he might just find wild rocket fuel and a satellite dish in Terra.

Han Fei was about to set off after selecting the map, but as soon as he clicked the button, a large prompt appeared in his eyes.

[Teammates' total equipment value did not meet map requirements]

"Huh?"

Han Fei was shocked. He thought to himself, "Do I still have to help my teammates prepare for battle?"

Hearing Han Fei's surprised voice, Texas asked, "What's wrong?"

Han Fei said, "It's nothing, just a minor problem."

The required combat readiness level for classified spaceflight is 187,500. Meeting this level isn't difficult; he has four sets of head armor, plus a backpack and chest armor, easily reaching the required level. As for Texas...

Han Fei took off his M250 and handed it to Texas, saying, "Help me carry this weapon."

This was not an excessive request. Although Texas did not quite understand what Han Fei meant, she still reached out and took the M250 light machine gun that he handed her.

With the weapons acquired, Texas is now fully prepared for war.

"OK, let's go."

With everything ready, Han Fei decisively pressed the start button.

The next second, the familiar character selection screen appeared in front of Han Fei.

Since there was an additional Texas, Han Fei wasn't sure if he could still select three operators at the same time, so to be on the safe side, he chose Dr. Bee first.

The role of the bee doctor is self-evident; with him around, there's no need to worry about any mishaps.

As for the second character, Han Fei still chose Deep Blue.

The shield dog's ultimate move is still top-tier, and the combination of the bee doctor and shield dog is also a classic combination, so there's not much to worry about in terms of strength.

After selecting two people, there was still one empty slot on the selection screen, and Han Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Clearly, even with an extra teammate, he can still continue to be a three-in-one player.

After a moment's thought, Han Fei chose Red Wolf as the third person.

The Shield Dog Bee Doctor lineup is strong, but it lacks items. It needs some explosives. The Red Wolf's ultimate skill and the Shield Dog's ultimate skill are also excellent synergies. Put them together and there's obviously no problem.

After selecting the three, Han Fei's vision went black.

The next second, the roar of the helicopter rotor echoed in his ears, and the darkness in Han Fei's eyes receded like a tide, revealing him on the helicopter.

"Engage and search, and retreat once you're done!"

A familiar male voice rang in his ears. Han Fei climbed down the rope from the helicopter, with Texas following closely behind.

As soon as he landed, Han Fei heard a surprised girl's voice.

"Huh? Who are you people?!"

Upon hearing the sound, Han Fei felt as if a million alpacas were galloping through his mind.

What's wrong with this GTI? Why did they just send us flying into someone else's face? If this were the enemy, wouldn't Texas and I be doomed the moment we landed?!

But what's done is done, and no matter how unwilling Han Fei was, he could only accept the status quo for the time being. While cursing the GTI bastards in his heart, he turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

Ten steps away, the red-haired girl with a side ponytail held a steaming apple pie, the frosting glistening in the sunlight. Her wide eyes were filled with shock, completely unable to comprehend why someone would make an appearance in such a way.

Volume 1: Chapter 71 A Flash of Red Light

For the energetic young girl Remuel, this was just an ordinary day in Laterano.

The morning sun shone on the street. As usual, she said goodbye to her family, holding a freshly baked apple pie in her hand, humming a little tune, and walked briskly towards the Chief Odole Comprehensive Academy, ready to welcome another ordinary but fulfilling day.

The energetic girl's daily life is always full of vitality. Occasionally, her overly lively personality will cause some minor incidents, such as accidentally blowing up her alma mater.

But those little accidents actually made Remuel's life more interesting.

However, what she saw was clearly not what she had expected.

Two fully armed strangers suddenly appeared out of nowhere and landed in front of her.

The roar of the helicopter had faded into the distance, and the sky had returned to tranquility, but the two people standing not far in front of her were reminding Remy that none of this was a hallucination.

Remuel couldn't understand why the Lateran garrison hadn't reacted at all when the helicopter made such a big fuss and flew into the city so brazenly.

Could it be that these two people are not intruders?

Such a thought naturally came to Remuel's mind, but she quickly dismissed it—that kind of entrance was not like that of a Lateran guest.

As the girl carefully observed, Han Fei recognized her identity; she was Exusiai, a popular character from the continent.

As a former doctor, Han Fei has a deep affection for the operators of the Porridge team and has always advocated against initiating conflicts with them.

Even in his duel with Lappland, he was forced to retaliate rather than taking the initiative.

Under these circumstances, when faced with Exusiai's questioning, Han Fei did not hesitate and answered truthfully:

"We are scavengers, and occasionally we also act as mercenaries."

This answer clearly failed to satisfy Remuel. She maintained the position of holding the apple pie in her left hand, but her right hand slid down slightly to prepare to draw her Guardian Gun at any time in case of any emergencies.

“Ordinary scavengers can’t just drop from Laterano’s airspace like you. Who are you people?”

As they were talking, Remy had already noticed the huge thing that Han Fei was carrying on his back.

As a Sarkaz, Remuel immediately recognized it as a gun, and a long gun at that!

Lateran has very strict control over long guns; even Lateran people must go through a rigorous approval process before they can use long guns.

The Laterans, who had not obtained permission, were not even qualified to use short guns, let alone long guns; they could only use crossbows as weapons.

This demonstrates just how strict Lateran's control over firearms was.

This weapon, which is strictly controlled by Laterano, is now brazenly displayed on a fully armed stranger.

Remuel didn't believe the man in front of her had a notary's permit to carry a gun; he was clearly not Sakta!

Unauthorized trespassing and illegal possession of a firearm together are enough to put Remule on high alert.

"I……"

At that moment, Han Fei felt like cursing the ancestors of the GTI helicopter pilot, even though it was still a question of whether the GTI helicopter actually had a pilot.

GTI's helicopters are responsible for transporting operators, but Han Fei speculates that the helicopter transport is probably just a take-off and landing process, and will not actually fly over Terra.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain how a helicopter was able to bring Han Fei back to the Special Operations Unit from various parts of Terra in such a short time.

In other words, the helicopter had many landing locations to choose from, but it chose the one that was most disadvantageous to Han Fei!

Texas glanced at Han Fei, her intelligence already revealing that the mission seemed to have been in trouble from the very beginning.

The Sarkaz girl in front of him, the passing confessional van, and the silhouette of a saint statue visible in the distance—everything reminded him that this place in Texas was called Laterano.

She and her boss became uninvited guests.
