My exclusive card pool

Chapter 21 I Love Working Overtime
While waiting for the bus at the platform, Wang Xi was playing with his mobile phone and found that he was pulled into a work group called "Cupid Housekeeping Cleaning Department Group 2".

"Welcome our new handsome guy!"

The person who sent the message was my female colleague Zhu Yuhe.

She also added an emoji of a cartoon teenage cheerleader.

"welcome."

"I was busy with other things the past two days and forgot to bring you in."

"Paid vacations are so comfortable, I forgot about it."

"Xiao Wang, you won't be angry, right? (slurping lollipop)"

The colleagues in Group 2 became active.

Wang Xi smiled and sent a message:
"I'm not angry, I'm not angry."

After a simple welcome ceremony.

My colleagues started talking about other topics.

"I heard that Du Chuan died."

"what?!"

"No!"

"..."

Wang Xi frowned slightly.

Only then did he remember that Du Chuan was his twin brother who was injured in the aftermath of the disaster on the first day of working outside.

Unexpectedly, this colleague died in the line of duty.

"He was too badly injured to be saved."

"Luckily, his brother Du Bo survived, but I'm afraid he won't be able to walk anymore and will be disabled for life."

"what?"

"Alas, if I could buy some high-quality wild cards, there's still hope."

Team leader Lei Wen spoke.

"Or, if you have first-class citizenship and receive preferential treatment in the equipment and technology of large hospitals, that's entirely feasible."

“There’s nothing we can do…”

The group was silent for a moment.

Everyone actually understands this.

But if you are rich and powerful, who would be willing to risk their life to become a scavenger?

"Old Lei, let's talk about something else."

Ms. Gaofen spoke.

Obviously, this topic is too heavy.

"Well, my boss sent me a message saying that the company is short-staffed and asked me if you guys are free to work overtime."

“Is there any overtime pay?”

"Same old rules, 3000 credits a day."

"Forget it. I'm busy preparing for the amateur hero exam next week."

"If Yu Zihan isn't going, who else is going?"

Colleagues in the group were chattering.

In the end, only Luo Ziliang and Zhu Yuhe were willing to work overtime. Even the team leader Lei Wen had to accompany his children to training class and was busy.

Wang Xi saw this and replied:

"I'll go as well."

If it's unpaid overtime, dedicated to the company, then I can only say I'm crazy about love and have a sharp mind. But if it's 3000 credits a day of overtime, then I will solemnly express my passion and dedication to my job.

Wang Xi loves to work overtime.

His former colleagues used to call him the "King of Madness".

"Xiao Wang is going too? Fine, I'll sign you three up. Let's go straight to the company later. You can even have a hot meal."

Team leader Lei Wen spoke very considerately.

Wang Xi glanced at the time. It was already half past eleven. If he took the train from the Fantasy Light District to the Dawn Light District, plus the time spent walking, he might not be able to make it in time for dinner.

He sighed secretly, having lost dozens of credit points!

woo-

A loud electronic whistle sounded.

The train, like a silver bullet, arrived at the station.

...

...

When Wang Xi arrived at the company, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon.

In the magnificent first-floor lobby, apart from the girl in a black dress and smoky makeup at the front desk, there was only the fat supervisor Lin Zhifeng.

When Wang Xi walked into the lobby, he immediately noticed that there was an extra photo in the gold medal employee column on the honor wall posted on the wall behind the front desk.

He was a man with a brilliant smile.

"Du Chuan, the outstanding cleaner of the second group of the cleaning department."

Wang Xi glanced at it and then looked away. For some reason, he felt a little disappointed.

Although I had no interaction with this man and had never even spoken a word to him, I still felt uncomfortable.

perhaps.

This is the norm at the bottom of the new world.

"Xiao Wang, here I come."

Lin Zhifeng got up from the sofa and walked over quickly.

He put his arm around Wang Xi's shoulders and stuffed a pair of car keys into his hand.

"Brother Lin, what is this?" Wang Xi asked puzzledly.

"Yuhe and Xiaoliang arrived before you. They were assigned to the warehouse to help with sorting... As for you, there are other arrangements."

Lin Zhifeng said this and pulled Wang Xi out.

"Here's a batch of newly processed disaster debris materials that need to be urgently delivered to the Overlook Bureau's acceptance department. They have a branch in the Furnace District. Take these materials and deliver them there immediately."

"Delivering materials?" Wang Xi pretended to be a fool and scratched his head. "Brother Lin, I can't drive."

The two of them had arrived at the parking lot behind the building and stopped beside a black hovercar. Lin Zhifeng patted Wang Xi on the shoulder and took out two more cards.

"It's okay if you can't drive. The company has made corresponding preparations for this."

Wang Xi took it and took a look.

Basic Hover Car Driving (Skill Card)

"Quality: White 1-star (cannot be upgraded)"

"A universal, man-made card. Produced by the Twinkle Twinkle Consortium, certified by the Overlook Bureau, and manufactured by the Shanhai Workshop."

"After using it, you will master the basic driving skills of the hovercar."

Another artificial wild card is:
[Mortuary Type I (Equipment Card)] [Quality: White 2-star (Cannot be upgraded)]

"Cupid Housekeeping Patented Card. Licensed by the Gear Consortium, certified by the Overlook Bureau, and manufactured by Shanhai Workshop. A controlled storage tool with a 20-foot cabinet capacity. (Record code A013: Currently full)"

"After use, you will collect or release the mortuary. Please use in an open area."

"After getting on the bus, just remember to put the card containing the materials in the designated location and then follow the route given by the onboard navigation. It's very simple."

Lin Zhifeng opened the car door and said with a smile.

Wang Xi raised his eyebrows. This is convenient.

He did not rush to sit in the driver's seat, but turned his head to look at the fat deputy director and asked curiously:

"Brother Lin, why don't you let Brother Xiaoliang deliver the materials? I remember he was responsible for driving the tow truck before. This job is a piece of cake for him, right?"

"You just arrived, so I'll give you a chance to practice."

Lin Zhifeng smiled and winked.

"More importantly, delivering the materials requires handing over to the staff at the Overlooking Bureau. You can take this opportunity to get to know them better. It will definitely be beneficial to your future... Brother Lin has high hopes for you. You won't end up working in the cleaning department forever."

"Brother Lin, you are such a nice person."

Wang Xi was flattered and thanked him.

He got into the driver's seat of the black hover car, and then, according to Lin Zhifeng's request, placed the artificial card "Mortuary" into the marked groove on the side of the steering wheel.

After doing this, Wang Xi activated the skill card.

A white light flashed, and various driving techniques for hover cars and some road traffic rules instantly popped up in his mind.

Touching the V-shaped steering wheel, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity, like an experienced driver who had been driving for more than ten years.

Insert the key and start the ignition.

woo-

The ether battery released powerful energy, and an invisible airflow was ejected from the chassis of the hover car, mixed with blue and purple arcs, causing the air to distort and fluctuate, and the entire car was lifted half a meter.

After the four supports were slowly retracted, Lin Zhifeng stepped back a few steps and shouted:

"Drive slowly and be careful on the road. Be sure to follow the navigation and don't go the wrong way."

"Okay, Brother Lin."

Wang Xi looked curious, as excited as a child who had touched a new toy, and waved goodbye.

Immediately, the black hovercraft drove out of the parking lot, passed through the gate of Cupid Housekeeping, and disappeared into the street.

Lin Zhifeng watched the hovercraft leave.

Pain and struggle flashed in his eyes.

"Sorry, Xiao Wang..."

...

...

"I'm sorry, Brother Lin."

Wang Xi held the steering wheel with one hand and muttered.

He took his other hand out of his pocket and turned off the recording on his phone.

"I'm just in case."

In fact, Wang Xi subconsciously felt something was amiss from the moment Lin Zhifeng asked him to deliver the materials. He still remembered the odd smile that had appeared on the corner of the fat deputy director's mouth when he received the materials card from Group 2 last time.

When he mentioned Luo Xiaoliang just now, it was just a test.

Lin Zhifeng's answer seemed flawless, but it deepened Wang Xi's doubts.

Since delivering the materials is so important, it is impossible to easily hand it over to him, a newcomer who has just joined the company for a few days, just because of a "look at it".

So Wang Xi secretly recorded all the conversations as evidence to protect himself.

He had no idea what Lin Zhifeng was up to, but having seen the dangers of the workplace in his previous life, he naturally knew how to be a "non-stick pan."

woo-

The suspended vehicle travels in a specific lane on the right, crossing with the rail vehicle in the middle.

Wang Xi thought about it and still felt it was not safe.

So he dialed the Sheriff's Department, but the call didn't go through. Then he put his phone aside, ready to call the police at any time.

"Lin Zhifeng, you'd better not hurt me..."

He shook his head.

After doing all this, we followed the car navigation to the Overlooking Bureau branch where the Furnace Area was located.

The driving experience of the hover car is amazing.

Even Wang Xi, who was used to driving luxury cars and electric cars in his previous life, felt that this was completely incomparable.

The hover car has almost no vibration and noise, and its speed, responsiveness, tracking feel and push-back feeling are all top-notch, just like flying a plane.

Although he has never flown a plane.

But we do fight occasionally, so it must be about the same.

This made Wang Xi feel even more emotional. The new world was traumatized by the extraordinary disaster, but it also gained nutrients.

Human technology is developing rapidly to adapt to this increasingly dangerous environment.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Wang Xi finally arrived at the furnace area on the border of Gucheng, where a large number of factories were built and giant concrete "chimneys" stood like wonders.

Smoke billows.

The loud clanging sound was deafening.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the air feels much hotter all over. The large factory buildings are clearly separated and located on one side of the road.

Compared to city centers like Chaodu District and Dawn District, the traffic and pedestrian flow here are significantly reduced.

Just as he passed a bend and entered a deserted factory with no one in sight, Wang Xi slammed on the brakes.

Hum--

The black hovercraft stopped at the factory gate.

"Wrong way?"

Wang Xi looked at the car navigation again and again. He was clearly driving according to the route and was only two blocks away from his destination, but the straight road originally displayed had become this abandoned factory.

Looking at the piles of vehicle wreckage and various metal scraps all around, Wang Xi felt uneasy.

"wrong!"

He was quite decisive. He immediately put the car in reverse gear and turned the steering wheel all the way to the left.

The hovercraft drew a graceful arc on the spot and was about to leave along the same path.

beep—

A subtle and sharp sound suddenly appeared!

Wang Xi just felt his scalp tingling.

He had heard this voice before...

It was the sound of laser guns firing!
