Bai Feng came over because he wanted to recruit Su Li and the others into the Public Security Department.
Security within the base is now handled by the Security Department, somewhat similar to the old police station, while the cleanup of mutated creatures outside the base is the responsibility of the military and the Department of External Defense.
But regardless of which side it is, there is a severe shortage of people right now.
There are quite a few superhumans in the base, but not many are high-level.
With mutated creatures and some humans rapidly evolving, the ability levels of those who maintain security are too low. Not only are they unable to meet the requirements for maintaining security, but they may even exacerbate casualties.
In this situation, high-level ability users like Su Liqi are in high demand.
Even though he didn't know the results of Su Li and the others' ability tests, judging from everyone's abilities when they were collecting supplies together before, their abilities were definitely not low!
"So this dinner party was a pretense, and you were actually here to recruit workers?"
After listening to Lu Yu explain the situation at the base and his purpose for coming, Lin Dong, while cleaning the crayfish, suddenly laughed and spoke to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu smiled, a rare occurrence. He picked at the slightly dehydrated and soft bok choy, placing the picked bok choy into the basin of water in front of him to soak for a while, hoping it would help the leafy greens regain some moisture.
"You could say that, the base is really short-staffed. But I think this is also an opportunity. It's like a newly established company in its early stages. If you come in now, you'll be a founding member. As long as nothing unexpected happens, at least your survival won't be a problem!"
Lin Dong chuckled and nodded upon hearing Lu Yu's answer.
He agreed with Lu Yu's statement, but he hadn't decided what position to apply for yet.
Today's lunch was hot pot again, plus a large plate of crayfish, a plate of braised prawns, and Lin Dong also made a golden broth beef dish.
It had been a long time since Su Li and the others had enjoyed such a sumptuous meal. The rich and spicy aroma of the hot pot filled the entire room, raising the temperature in the unheated room by a few degrees.
By the end of the meal, almost all the food on the table had been devoured by the group of people and the cat.
After finishing their meal, Lu Yu brought up the topic of inviting the group to join the Public Security Department again, only to be surprised to learn that Su Li did not intend to stay at the base.
But in the end he didn't ask any more questions, since whether or not to enter the base was Su Li's personal right.
If you are strong enough to guarantee your own safety, then it doesn't matter where you live!
However, Lin Dong and his companions were indeed very interested in joining the Public Security Department.
So before Lu Yu, Bai Feng, and Zhao Kejia left, they agreed to go to the Public Security Department the next day to check on the situation.
Tonight, Su Li and the others had a rare good night's sleep without having to get up in the middle of the night to keep watch.
The next morning, after breakfast, the group left their lodgings and took a stroll around the base city, also visiting the service hall.
The main thing is to take a look at other jobs that are currently being advertised.
However, after going around in circles, everyone except Xu Xiaojie was more interested in the Public Security Department!
Having been away on missions for over two months, the group has lost interest in the Ministry of Defense and the military, which still require them to go out on missions.
As for Xu Xiaojie, she chose an office-oriented position. In her words, she was really socially awkward and didn't really want to do a job like security that required dealing with people!
So Xu Xiaojie registered directly at the service hall, while Lin Dong and the others contacted Lu Yu on their way back using walkie-talkies. Lu Yu was naturally happy and agreed to come over that evening to discuss the details.
The group wasn't in a hurry for the rest of the time, and they wandered around the base until after 3 p.m. before starting to head back.
The weather was still slightly cool today, and the group of people were dressed in fairly thick, somewhat new clothes, which occasionally attracted the attention of passersby.
But perhaps because of the base's prestige, we didn't encounter any strange people.
Pedestrians come and go on the road, and the surrounding buildings are mostly gray and dusty, with the occasional black staircase adding a touch of vibrancy to the city.
But the base isn't completely devoid of green plants.
Although the base has only been established for a short time, it already has basic facilities such as hospitals, schools, parks, and markets.
Although there is only one hospital and only schools from elementary to high school, there are three parks.
They are mainly distributed in the three main living areas of the base, while in the park, almost every park has only five trees, and these five trees have grown to be enormous due to mutation.
Perhaps due to mutation, even though the weather is cold now, the leaves of these trees have not yet fallen and turned yellow, which makes this northern city seem more vibrant in such chilly weather.
When they got back to their rented apartment, they ran into Lu Yu and Bai Feng, who had also just arrived.
But besides them, there were four other people waiting there, two of whom were wearing camouflage.
Lu Yu and Bai Feng seemed to know the four people.
When Bai Feng saw the four people, he was first taken aback, then as if he had thought of something, a smug smile suddenly appeared on his face.
He strode over to the four men, put his arm around one of their shoulders, and teased with a smile, "Oh dear, isn't this Captain Qiao? You're too late, the man has already been assigned to our security department!"
"What?"
The man being embraced by Bai Feng was slightly startled, and the others beside him also showed expressions of surprise. Captain Qiao, in particular, looked at Lu Yu in astonishment:
"No, what's going on? The information on newly arrived superhumans is only released the next day. We came here first thing this morning to wait, but we haven't seen anyone. Don't tell me you got the news yesterday!"
At this point, Captain Qiao's face showed a look of doubt.
No joke, although everyone shares the responsibility of protecting the base's security, when it comes to recruiting talent, the Ministry of Public Security, the military, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are definitely in competition.
High-level ability users are scarce in the base right now. If another department takes one away, we will lose a combat force!
Therefore, whenever a new high-level superhuman enters the base, the three departments will find the superhuman as quickly as possible and recruit them into their teams.
Normally, the information of new residents joining the base each day would only be updated into the system the next morning, but now Lu Yu knew the residents' information in advance.
If this isn't clarified, it could seriously hinder unity among the three departments!
Bai Feng immediately saw through Captain Qiao's question. He chuckled and patted him on the shoulder:
"Hey—Captain Qiao, don't overthink it. It's not that we're breaking the rules. But we did get the news a while ago, just not yesterday..."
He stroked his chin: "Hehe, we already knew that two days ago!"
The day before yesterday?
Team Leader Qiao was taken aback, then suddenly realized, and immediately raised his arm to elbow Bai Feng: "Damn! You guys knew each other all along!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Lu Yu: "You should have told me sooner! Otherwise I would have had to wait here all day!"
