(Three-in-one Chapter)
...
In the following days, the order in New Moon City was gradually being restored.
There were too many rioters who stord into the Inner City this ti. It's unrealistic to kill them all, otherwise, the crematorium wouldn't be able to keep up.
The security forces intentionally left a gap unguarded in the mid-section of Rust Wall M17, driving the rioters back to the outskirts. Those who insisted on staying were t with bullets.
Moreover, there were people moving into the court, and the City Council's efficiency was surprisingly high, even the post-disaster work for civilian rchants was proceeding in an orderly manner.
In a small dilapidated rental house on Rosen Street in the Rust Wall District.
Su Mo had a good sleep, and after waking up, he found several voice ssages on his phone, which he listened to while brushing his teeth.
"Hey, Old Su, how have you been these days? Thanks to you, I've been highly praised by the City Council. They say I brought a savior! If nothing goes wrong, I'll be the New Moon City's Middleman of the Year! Hahaha! You're truly my lucky star, let's keep in touch more often in the future!"
"Good morning, young man. This should be the last ti I call you young man; from now on, I should respectfully call you Director Su. Honestly, when we first t, I didn't expect you to achieve so much in such a short ti. I'm truly glad to have t you. Walk the path well; I'm looking forward to the day you beco famous."
"Hello, Director Su, I am Zhou Hanyan, the leader of the Death Scythe rcenary Corps. Lady Countess gave your number. I heard you have established a micro-rcenary group, only four people. If you're interested, you can talk to about a rger. I'll find a suitable position for you in Death Scythe. If you're not interested, it's okay, we can still collaborate more in the future."
"Su Mo, my dear brother, it's Sikinkov. You seem to still be in bed. Give a call back when you see the ssage~"
Su Mo replied to Dress and Audiana, thanking them for their support and expressing his hope for their future guidance.
Staying humble and composed has always been Su Mo's principle.
This ti, he was absolutely going to soar, and everything would be incomparable to the past, but it was just the beginning.
Dress and Audiana, as deeply entrenched middlen in New Moon City, still had many things worthy of his learning.
If one gets complacent with slight achievents and becos arrogant, in a complex world like Dawn, they will only fall hard.
After replying to the two middlen, Su Mo responded to Zhou Hanyan, politely declining the rger, stating that he preferred to venture on his own.
If one had no ambitious aspirations, joining a super-large rcenary group like Death Scythe wouldn't be a bad choice. At least they could live their life comfortably.
But for Su Mo, who wanted to reach the Peak of Dawn, joining others without developing his own power would only bind his hands and feet.
Su Mo heard Sikinkov's ssage and gave him a call back.
Ever since the Xinghai Cinema hostage incident, Sikinkov has been extrely grateful and affectionate towards Su Mo, calling him brother directly.
If it weren't for the fact that New Moon City doesn't have the tradition of sworn brotherhood, Sikinkov would probably want to make Su Mo his sworn brother.
Once the call connected, Sikinkov's tone was very enthusiastic: "Brother, up yet?"
Su Mo replied with a congratulatory tone: "Yeah, just woke up. I heard you're about to be appointed as the director of the Public Security Bureau. Congratulations in advance!"
Sikinkov laughed heartily: "Thanks to you, it's all thanks to you! Without you, I would've already been sharing a cell with that scoundrel Beiyuan Jun."
Su Mo mocked: "He deserves it! Likes to play dead, let him slowly pretend with the investigation team."
Sikinkov: "Exactly, let him pretend slowly. By the way, brother, are you free tonight?"
Su Mo: "I'm free. What's up?"
Sikinkov: "Co to my place for dinner. I have many things to hand over to you."
Su Mo: "Huh? Hand over things? What things?"
Sikinkov: "Haha, that's a secret. I want to keep a sense of surprise for you~"
The current progression is completely different from the original storyline, and Su Mo didn't know what the so-called "surprise" was.
But one thing was certain.
It would definitely be a great surprise far beyond the original plot's mission reward.
He agreed wholeheartedly, looking forward to this dinner.
After the call, he ca into the living room, where the cold air made him shiver: "Brr, so cold! Didn't the weather report say there'd be a cold wave these days? Why don't you guys turn on the heat?"
Although it was early October, due to the strong cold wave, the temperature had already plumted to single digits. KK and Dongdong were wearing thick cotton coats, sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Dongdong, being a Prosthetic Implanter, was fine, but KK was so cold his nose was about to run.
Dongdong yawned and said: "Boss, the living room heater's broken."
Su Mo picked up the remote control, pressed it, saw no response, and asked: "Didn't we call soone to fix it last ti? Broke again?"
KK rubbed his hands and said: "This house is old and in disrepair. All the furniture is severely worn out... Ah-choo!"
Just then, a scream echoed from the basent: "Boss!!! The power grid in this place is unstable, my equipnt crashed again, last night's experint was all for nothing, I'm about to collapse!"
Su Mo looked around the old house, feeling a bit awkward.
If only used as a residence, it barely sufficed.
But as a base for the rcenary group, it was really too shabby.
Not to ntion, Future's scientific experints often required high current, far exceeding the load of dostic power grids.
If, in the future, he wanted to expand and recruit people, he couldn't possibly have everyone cramped in this small dilapidated room.
Su Mo scratched the back of his head and said: "I'll figure out the relocation, hang in there for a few days. If it's too uncomfortable, just stay in a hotel and put the expenses on the public account."
