218: Chapter 218: Secret Training 218: Chapter 218: Secret Training In a foreign factory, there are many people working in the dayti, and this place would turn into a training base at night, where Cui Qi, like other newbies, began his training.
A female supervisor addressed them, “Welco to our organization.
You all co from different places but share similar experiences that have led you here.
I know you must be wondering what kind of organization you’ve joined and whether it’s as life-changing as promised.”
Her words stirred up everyone.
Indeed, that was the reason why they wanted to join in the first place – they believed this organization was anything but ordinary.
The female supervisor started to explain, “Our organization has vast influences.
It dominates both the Black and White realms.
On the sunny side, we run legitimate businesses with the cover of the police and the help of high-ranking officials.
We make loads of money running our companies.
On the dark side, we have a lot of enforcers, but we only resort to extre asures when necessary.
We seldom engage in cris, as it usually leaves traces that draw unwanted attention.
In this world, many cri syndicates with protective umbrellas eventually got eradicated.”
At this point, soone couldn’t help raising a hand to ask, “May I ask what exactly you want us to do here?
If it’s just working in this factory, there’s no difference from ordinary people.”
The female supervisor chuckled, “That’s right, we need you to work.
That’s sothing we have to do in our legitimate business.
But our activities are not limited to that.”
Cui Qi asked a question, “If we’re running things like a normal company in the lawful society, we must be expected to do sothing on the dark side, sothing more than just committing cris.”
“Absolutely.
We have no interest in cri whatsoever,” the female supervisor said with a enigmatic smile that piqued everyone’s curiosity.
Next, the female supervisor turned on a giant display screen showing a map of the local region.
“Our location is abundant with resources.
Our current job is to extract these resources.
This country has been plagued by years of strife with illegal ard forces wreaking havoc everywhere.
The local governnt is sotis powerless.
That’s when I need you to step forward.”
Upon hearing this, soone voiced their discontent imdiately, “What do you an?
Are you planning to use us as cannon fodder?”
“Absolutely not.
What I an is that when our organization’s lawful interests are unlawfully infringed upon and we aren’t getting legal protection, we must resort to illegal ans to defend our rights,” the female supervisor solemnly explained.
Due to the unsatisfactory explanation, the female supervisor gave an example, “There’s a slum here, rampant with criminals.
Even local law enforcent is hesitant to intervene.
If our truck is intercepted while passing through the slum and we follow the authorities’ decision to retreat instead, we download that duty upon ourselves.
Whatever thods we must use, we must reclaim what’s rightfully ours.”
Soone imdiately raised a question, “What if local law enforcent cos after us if we use illegal ans to defend our legal interests?”
The female supervisor bit her finger, “In so places, the police won’t intervene.
They can’t, actually.
In a way, they’ve tacitly agreed.”
Hearing this, so people seed to understand.
Cui Qi furrowed his brows.
He had been Zhuo Hang’s informant for many years.
Every ti he encountered a group of people committing cris, Cui Qi would collect evidence and bring them to justice.
However, Cui Qi felt this organization was significantly different.
The mbers fought illegal activities with illegal actions, and it seed that local law enforcent condoned these actions.
While this kind of training seed a bit extre, it was within reason – if they couldn’t get help from local law enforcent, they would have to take matters into their own hands.
The female supervisor continued, “In the next few days, you will work in the dayti and train in physical fitness and combat skills at night.
Be ready to take on tasks at any ti.
And rember one thing – since local law enforcent is allowing it, nothing we do is considered a cri.
Do you understand?”
“Alright, we understand,” many people answered loudly.
After the eting disbanded, everyone went their separate ways to train.
If everything was as the female supervisor said, the best way to survive a mission was to strengthen oneself.
Cui Qi started pretending to lift a dumbbell while observing those around him closely.
It seed none of them were nervous, regretful, or annoyed – instead, they seed excited, as if they’d found a great gig.
Without a cellphone or any communication tools, it seed very hard for Cui Qi to inform Zhuo Hang about his location and what was happening.
He had to wait for the right opportunity.
Just then, Cui Qi overheard a nearby conversation, “Do you believe this place?
As long as conditions are t, even minor illegal activities are allowed.
If I’d known, I would’ve co here sooner.”
The other person nodded, “Absolutely.
Back in our country, thievery could land you in jail for several years.
But here, theft is the least of the issues – even murder might not necessarily cause trouble.”
“Haha, isn’t this place a paradise for committing cris?
I nearly crippled soone in the past and got sentenced for many years.
I never accepted it, it was clearly him who started the fight.
And I didn’t know the guy couldn’t take a hit, should all the bla fall on ?”
“I never thought there’d be a day where I could commit cris reasonably, with no repercussions.”
Soone reminded him: “The premise is that we can only do so in order to defend our legitimate interests.”
“To hell with it, it looks like we can do so even if it’s not for any legitimate interest.”
At this mont, Cui Qi walked over, looking slightly anxious: “Don’t celebrate too early.
If we can commit cris without facing consequences, so can others.
Who knows, we may end up at a disadvantage if conflicts arise later on.
You may not feel so good then.”
Hearing this, so people were taken aback.
True, they were already outsiders.
If they clashed with the locals, they were outnumbered and could easily be wiped out.
The female director noticed this and walked over coolly: “Your worries are not unfounded.
That’s why we need to train you.
Also, it doesn’t necessarily an that the side with more people will win.
Strategies are also crucial.
We can minimize casualties as long as you follow our orders.”
Upon hearing the word ‘casualties’, so people looked pale.
They seed frightened, their expressions timid, and looked as though they were considering backing out.
Of course, the female director couldn’t let morale slide like that, so she emphasized: “I know you might be scared, especially during the first execution of a mission.
Many people are so frightened that they wet their pants.
I don’t bla you for that.
But when you think of backing out, rember why you chose to co here.
You knew the risks before you ca, but you still ca.
What have you been up to until now?”
Hearing this, everyone’s eyes grew sharp, filled with resentnt, as if all the unbearable mories had been brought back.
Cui Qi knew roughly what these people had gone through.
They were generally estranged from their families and had difficult lives.
They had been bullied, despised, trampled on, humiliated, and could see no hope in life.
These people resented the world’s unfairness and were easily emotionally triggered.
Resentnt led to a desire for revenge, to retaliate against an unjust world.
Here, these people could do things to avenge themselves – it was the perfect training ground.
“Impressive.
She roused everyone’s anger with just a few words.
This woman is not simple.
She must have done this kind of training a few tis.” Cui Qi pretended to harbor resentnt while secretly figuring out how to leak the information out.
After the training, the female director required them to draw lots to form groups, with four people in each group.
They were then to elect a group leader.
From then on, everything would be done in groups.
Cui Qi sighed quietly.
Using small units was a smart move.
The group mbers were all strangers and trust was impossible to establish in a short ti.
This arrangent facilitated surveillance of each other.
After spending a long ti together, the group mbers would beco familiar with each other.
But by then, he believed that the female director would have used other thods to build a sense of belonging to the organization among the mbers.
After the draw, Cui Qi was assigned to the first group and beca the group leader.
The other three mbers were a tall guy, a fat guy, and a guy wearing glasses.
“Okay, that’s it for today.
Each group, go back and rest.
We’ll start work early tomorrow.” As the female director finished speaking, the lights in the factory dimd.
The rooms provided for them were made up of shipping containers located outside the factory.
Each group was assigned one container room.
Cui Qi led his group to their room.
It was small, with two bunk beds, just enough for four people.
Under Cui Qi’s arrangent, the four of them chose their beds.
At first, due to unfamiliarity, nobody spoke.
They either looked at each other or elsewhere, not knowing what to say, making the atmosphere awkward.
In the end, Cui Qi broke the silence by casually asking the others a few questions, slowly initiating a conversation.
Most of the conversation revolved around how they were selected.
All experienced similar situations.
They were all at their lowest point and most desperate when they were offered a lifeline.
However, Cui Qi didn’t know that there were bugs in the shipping container room they were staying in.
At that mont, the female director was listening in to their conversation.
New people generally had suspicions and concerns, and they were still unstable ntally, so it was necessary to monitor their every move.
“The last batch took only half a year to beco qualified.
I wonder how long this batch will take.” The female director smiled subtly and started to report the situation.
