Chapter 1,223: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 50 (Part 1)

April 1, 2217

A large number of people were already waiting at the gate of the 5th Section Headquarters, which is located in the middle level of the northwest and has been put into use early in the morning.

Nearly 10,000 people were already waiting for the door of Section 5 headquarters to open. Many people looked slightly anxious, and many were whispering without making much noise.

Everyone is waiting for the release of their test results and whether they can pass the test. Once they pass the test, they only need to enter a school in the business department and study for three months, and then they can be assigned to the corresponding department.

The exams for the Practice Department are extremely strict. At the beginning of this year, the Practice Department Examination Law was promulgated. This is an internal law for the Practice Department as a whole. Once you are found to have cheated on the exam, you will not only be disqualified, but also need to go to jail. , starting with a minimum of 3 years.

Many people who read the information carefully and exercised originally thought they could pass the exam easily, but when they actually started taking the exam, they realized that although there were answers to those basic things, the content of the exam was completely different from last year. It has no reference value at all, but changes according to changes in social conditions.

Most people don't even know about some cases and things that happen in society. They are immediately confused after seeing the title.

The examination network of the administrative department is also an internal network and is not connected to the city network. It strives to eliminate all cheating, and the combat examination is a nightmare for many people.

Mutants are okay, but the combat test for mutants is more difficult than that for ordinary people. In addition to the combat test, ordinary people also have physical ability tests.

The use of weapons is relatively simple. Candidates can apply for weapon use practice in the local 5th Section. They can go directly to the 5th Section to use weapons under the guidance of some 5th Section members.

Basically, most people get a full score of 20 in this subject. The remaining three subjects are economics, law and rights. The simplest is law. As long as you have a better brain, you can still get a full score, while economy is more flexible. It’s very changeable. Many of the questions are about economic issues in society. There are free-answer questions and questions about various economic variables, which need to be calculated based on actual conditions. As long as you are more flexible, you can get 15 points without any problem.

Rights are the most difficult. The 15-point questions are all randomly selected social events. Then, based on the circumstances of the event and the functions of managers stipulated by the law, we can judge the event and how to deal with it. There are 15 questions in total. For social events, scores will be given based on each person's answers.

The final high-scoring questions are practical questions. People from the practice department will directly assign some simple cases for candidates to deal with, and then give scores to the candidates according to the situations they deal with.

For most people, 10 points in the rights section is pretty good.

The last part is the combat part, which includes small tests of physical ability, endurance, speed, body flexibility, etc. As long as you can pass it, you can basically get 10 points, and the examiner of the business department will make it clear before answering the questions. Yes, do you have combat experience? If so, there will be no basic test of physical fitness. You will directly have a 1-on-1 undifferentiated hand-to-hand fight with the examiner. The time limit is 5 minutes.

"Who the hell said the exam was easy? I wasted a whole year."

A man said dissatisfiedly, and many people nodded in agreement. After the first business examination last year, because many people passed it, many people who passed the examination are now working. They all said it wasn't difficult, and it was actually quite interesting.

As a result, registration started in May last year, and so far 13,857 people have taken the exam. The three-week exam has made many people miserable.

Among them, 3,298 people gave up directly during the exam, and many of them felt uneasy.

"It's okay, you should be able to get through it."

Tamai is on one side of the gate of the 5th Section Headquarters, and Perestan next to him has been encouraging him. This year, everyone has drawn the topic of the Hydera case. The special nature of this topic has been written into the textbook of the Acting Section. , is a speculative question, regardless of guilt or innocence, or the middle part. This question is free to answer, but you need to write down the reasons for guilt or innocence, or the middle part.

Tamai became a little uneasy, because during the battle, he was a little timid and his hands and feet were numb because he was fighting with real swords and guns for the first time. Although he later relied on what he learned in the nearby combat training center, he achieved It achieved certain results, but 5 minutes had already passed.

In the other four exams, Tamai was confident that he could get at least 50 points, but the battle process made everyone feel powerless.

The exams in the Business Department were completely different from the past. Everyone felt that this oppressive exam seemed to force everyone to try their best to be better than others in order to pass the exam.

It was just after 7 o'clock, and with a huge roar, the door of Section 5 slowly opened. Everyone looked over. Alpha was holding a cigarette in his mouth, with a bunch of directors behind him.

"Everyone! Now the exam results are released. You can check it. This year will be more strict because there are so many people taking the exam. What I want to tell you is that if you don't pass the exam this year, you can try to take the exam again next year. This year's textbooks will also have some There are obvious changes. Even those who have failed, please don’t be discouraged. Our exam system for the business department has been based on the principle of fairness from the beginning. Those who are able will be admitted. Now please line up and enter in an orderly manner!”

Alpha said seriously, and the crowd began to flow to the left and right. Alpha looked at the people coming in quietly. There were quite a few women. Many women thought about entering the Acting Department after seeing what happened to Alpha.

Peristan stood quietly at the door, looking at Alpha in the distance. He smiled and nodded. This city cannot be without Alpha. This is everyone's consensus. In just over a year, most of the crimes in the city have been eradicated by Alpha.

The bottom, which was rampant in the past, has now completely quieted down. This self-disciplined and fair section chief of Section 5 has won the support of most people.

At this time, in the courtyard of Section 5, on both sides, a piece of light and shadow panels appeared, and the entrance of the hall of Section 5 was full of people from various departments. Those who passed the test could enter. There would be a brief assignment, and they could enter the school of the Acting Department for paid study tomorrow.

Many people went to the corresponding light and shadow screen according to their test number to find their names. Blue means passing the test, and red means failing.

At some of the already built posts, the unsuccessful candidates can check their own cities or receive some teaching materials for the Department of Conduct for free.

Alpha stood at the door all the time, watching many unsuccessful candidates come out in disgrace, many of whom didn't even want to know their scores. A bunch of little girls came out crying, and Alpha turned around.

"Just keep working hard."

At this time, a bunch of little girls came over happily and asked to take a photo with Alpha, and Alpha didn't refuse.

And many people already know that this year's passing score is 80 points. Those with less than 80 points will all be eliminated. Only 1,053 people passed, less than 7%.

Many people have already criticized that such an examination system is too torturous, and most of the unsuccessful candidates are very disappointed because they have spent time and money.

Since October last year, some middle and upper-level places have opened a number of training centers, mainly focusing on economics and combat.

The price of the training center is not low. Some good training centers charge at least 1,000 per month, especially for combat. Fighting, boxing, jiu-jitsu, wrestling, etc., all kinds of training centers teach different things.

However, most people only realized that they were completely cheated after taking the combat exam, because most training centers are mainly based on practice, supplemented by actual combat, and the 1-on-1 actual combat of the combat exam makes it difficult for many people to adapt.

There are more and more complaints, and people keep coming out. Some people who scored 79 points are still talking next to some booths, but the rules are the rules, and less than 1 point is unqualified.

At this time, those who have passed the exam happily walked into the hall of the 5 subjects, and were asked to wait quietly in order of height.

Tamayi quietly walked to the side of the booth. After his results came out, he swallowed a little uncomfortably, 69 points.

If he followed last year's passing line, he could pass the exam, but it seems that he can only come again next year.

Alpha looked at a light and shadow panel quietly. The number of mutants was indeed quite scarce, with only 31 mutants. Obviously, there were many mutants in the city now, but many mutants would not come to take the exam, because most mutants earned much more money than ordinary people and higher than the basic salary given by the Action Department.

Many people started to make a fuss, and many people were dissatisfied with their scores. Most of the people who made a fuss were those who were only a few points behind.

But soon these people were driven out of the compound of Section 5. Alpha remained silent. The most popular subjects were Sections 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9, and almost no one cared about other subjects.

You can fill in all the subjects in the application intention, but most people will only fill in those subjects that seem to have easy work and good salary. Once you enter Section 5, you will start from the lowest level of grassroots patrol.

Even if you are promoted to a team leader, it is the same. You can't get away from the work of patrolling the streets all day long. This is the internal regulations of Section 5. Alpha requires all section members to abide by it. In the case of insufficient manpower in the area, you can draw people from the neighboring areas.

Most departments work 8 hours a day as a basic rule. Once a problem occurs, all staff members must unconditionally obey the superior's deployment.

However, the Department of Administration has its own regulations, and the allocation is not entirely based on the intention of the applicants. If many departments do not need so many people in a short period of time, the departments with more applicants will give priority to those with high scores, and those with low scores will be downgraded to the second priority.

In this way, although some people did not fill in the departments they did not want to apply for, they have two choices, either to go or to report directly to the 5th department, and wait for the opportunity to be transferred to other departments according to the work situation.

Or they can directly give up the opportunity to enter the Department of Administration, but once they give up, they will not be able to apply for the next three years.

At this time, those who passed the exam have entered the hall, and Jill is leading the directors of each department to make allocations between departments.

It is a very simple allocation, which will be directly divided and coordinated by the system according to the number of staff members currently required by each department.

Many people looked at the files in the Department of Administration system that they had just obtained download permissions. Obviously, many people were not satisfied with being assigned to the department they did not want to go to.

Jill was also giving further explanations on the stage.

"If you still don't want to go to the department you have been assigned to, you can give up the opportunity to enter the executive department now."

Sure enough, 6 people raised their hands.

"Take them to handle it."

Six people came out immediately, and one of them said dissatisfiedly.

"Who wants to go to a place like Section 12?"

"Yes, we obviously applied for subject 7."

Gil glanced at the results of several people and said with a smile.

"Then your results are here. There is nothing you can do about it."

In the end, 6 people left, and many others seemed to be still thinking. In the end, most people decided to obey the deployment. 587 people were assigned to the 5th department, and 201 people were assigned to the 3rd department. Many people were assigned to the 3rd department. It seems quite reluctant.

Some people joked that such an exam is like an April Fool's Day joke. April 1st every year is April Fool's Day. I don't know where it started or when it appeared. Now it's unknown. Nowadays, many young people in the city are very enthusiastic about it.

On this day, it is allowed to fool others, and today's announcement of the examination results of the business department is just a small matter in a corner of the city, not too conspicuous.

The most exciting thing today is that the factory area in the west will be fully operational. A power operation test will be conducted at 8 o'clock today. The test will last until 12 noon. Once the operations in the west and east are stable, all the factories in the west will be put into operation immediately. Factories can open.

The streets were completely congested. Many people were carrying large and small bags, and some people who were close to the western factory area chose to walk there.

Everyone hopes to return to the factory as soon as possible, and some empty shops on the street are recruiting employees.

The factory had announced the start of operations on April 1 a month ago. Many factories had already recruited people in advance, but now they are in an embarrassing situation. Once the factories start operations, it will mean that all walks of life in the city will It will start to recover again, and a large number of people will only flow into factories or stores, and those highly educated talents will only continue to work in the company.

However, the construction of the city is less than one-third, and there is bound to be a large-scale labor shortage. In order to compete for people, some factories have even increased wages and benefits, because everyone knows that whoever is fast enough can do it. make money.

The city, which has been stagnant for nearly a year and a half, will soon usher in a flood of shopping.

In particular, although most factories have shut down, technical designers are still developing and designing products. These links were already in progress when the light and shadow materialization technology was announced.

7:35 am

In the Sumer family's tobacco plantation in the northeast, a large number of plantation workers gathered together, surrounded by a large number of mutant bodyguards, and several workers were already lying on the ground.

"This is the contract you signed. It was said from the beginning that you will have to work for at least three years before you will be paid. You have only worked for three months and you want to run away?"

The workload here is very heavy. They need to be busy in the greenhouses every day. There are only about 200 workers in total, but they need to take care of more than 300 tobacco leaf planting greenhouses. Basically, they can only rest for seven or eight hours a day, and they have to take care of themselves at other times. Work, but the salary is so low.

"You are simply lying to us."

A worker shouted, and everyone started making noises. The person in charge immediately said with a smile.

"How about increasing your salary and giving you 700 a month?"

Some people hesitated for a while, but there are still many people who don't want to work here, because if you go to the west now, you can earn more than 1,000 yuan a month in any factory.

Many people were clamoring to leave, and if they didn't let them go, they would report the crime.

For a moment, the person in charge's face turned down, and his expression became serious. At this juncture, he did not dare to cause trouble. Once the people from Section 5 came over, this matter would be troublesome.

The cultivation of tobacco leaves is not like other crops. In order to achieve better yield and higher quality, many steps are as detailed as taking care of children. Not only is the work complicated, but the wages are low.

Bayek was among the crowd, and she and Luo Jun next to her also decided to leave and go to the factory area.

"Okay, according to the contract, you must pay liquidated damages, which is five times your basic salary for working hours. Those who lose money can leave. If they don't pay, they can only continue to work."

Some people immediately shouted, this is simply exploitation. They have to work fifteen or six hours a day, and their monthly salary is only this small. Some people still took out their phones and someone has already reported the crime.

"Catch them all."

The person in charge panicked, and a conflict soon broke out, but these workers were no match for the mutants. In less than 5 minutes, everyone was caught and their phones were confiscated.

"The monthly salary remains the same, 20 yuan a day. If you work until the end of the year, you can leave."

Soon the person in charge received a call from the section officer of the nearby 30th District.

"Please help me, sir."

"What is going on over there? I'd better take someone over to take a look. If there is a problem at this juncture, I will be doomed. After all, you also know who is the boss now, and our words don't count. "

The person in charge tried to explain that some workers were making trouble, but they had already reached an agreement, and then he directly said that he was willing to give the officer 50,000.

At this time, some mutant bodyguards were also panicked because they had not reached an agreement. The person in charge looked solemn. These mutant bodyguards were not from the Sumer family, but hired. They also knew that if something went wrong, they would go to jail for collectively attacking ordinary people.

Soon the person in charge called Todd, the current head of the Sumer family.

"Let the workers continue to work! I will deal with it."

Soon the people in charge shouted fiercely, and some workers could only return to the tobacco greenhouse and continue to work.

8:03 in the morning

Alpha stood quietly on the platform, looking at the more than 1,000 qualified people below, many of whom looked a little unfocused.

"Everyone! From today on, you are a member of the Operations Department. I only hope that you can abide by the regulations of the Operations Department in the upcoming work. I hope that you can be more diligent in your work. At the same time, I also hope that you can remember that when you put on the uniform, you represent not only yourself, but our Operations Department as a whole! Please report to the corresponding Operations Department school today, that's all!"

After Alpha finished speaking, he turned and walked down the stage, and soon took the elevator to go back to the office to continue to deal with some events.

At this time, a phone call came in. Alpha was a little confused, but still picked up.

"Uncle Todd!"

As Alpha said, a gentle laugh came from the phone, but soon Alpha frowned, because Todd was talking about family matters.

"Uncle Todd, if you don't have anything else, I'll hang up. I'm busy here."

"Can you do me a favor, Alpha?"

Alpha's face became solemn. She held the phone in her hand and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Sorry, Uncle Todd, I can't help you with this!"

The phone was hung up, and Alpha quickly dialed the number of the regional officer of District 30.

"Why not report it?"

"Lord Alpha, I'm on my way and should be there soon. Do you have any requests?"

Alpha looked up, lit a cigarette, and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"According to the labor law, arrest all the guilty. I will personally review this case. Do you understand?"

"I know Alpha, I will do my best to investigate!"

At this time, there was a burst of laughter behind him, and Jill walked over slowly with some directors.

"Do you want to rest for a few days? Although my ability is average, I can still do these things. How long have you not been home? Your family situation is not good."

Alpha smiled and put his arm around Jill's shoulders.

"I don't need you to worry about me, Jill. Hurry up. There are still many things to deal with today, especially those guys who sell fakes. The conviction must be completed today."

8:18

A large number of people crowded at the door of the factory. Many people sat quietly, waiting for the factory to start work. Many people can't wait. There are only test workers, people from Section 10, and some technical engineers in the factory. They will ensure that the factory is running completely stable before allowing the factory to start work.

Located on a regional highway near the lower level of the middle level, in the temporary Section 10 command center, Noah is looking at the values ​​on the surrounding light and shadow panels. At present, the power is running steadily, and all aspects are running well.

The command center is full of people from Section 10 and some technical workers from the Angus family. Everyone seems extremely nervous because this is just an initial test and there is no problem at present.

The operation of the subway has been tested many times and is in good condition. There is no problem at all. The power, water, and light and shadow material supply in the factory are still being tested.

We have waited too long. The work that should have been completed in half a year has been delayed until now. If the factory does not start, the Angus family will not be able to bear it. Their entire family is now heavily in debt.

The Hillman family has completely withdrawn its shares and evacuated all funds and technicians. The current construction is like a mud puddle, and it will be even more difficult in the future.

In the absence of workers and technicians, the Angus family can only continue to build, and the funds from congressional taxes cannot be in place in one step. In order to continue to stabilize the market, all of this can only be borne by the Angus family as a whole.

In addition to the normal salary payment of workers, other funds are really difficult, and there are only more than 300,000 workers who have signed contracts with this bill. This number is obviously not enough.

Everyone in the room is very nervous, and they are afraid that if there is a problem at any point, today will become the biggest joke of April Fools' Day. Before, a two-month test of various aspects has been carried out, and there are no problems. Today is the test of the overall link.

Travel, material transportation, water and electricity supply, garbage disposal, etc., in the west, no mistakes are allowed. Testing in the east will take some time, because there are more problems with construction there than here.

It involves the issue of agricultural bases, so the placement of many equipments must be more delicate than here. In the future, all food will come out from there and flow to every corner of the city.

"If something goes wrong, we can only tell the public that today is April Fool's Day, haha!"

Noah just finished speaking, and instantly felt the angry eyes from all directions.

"Please don't make such jokes casually, Secretary Noah."

Li Guoguo glared at Noah unhappily, and he immediately stood up and walked out with a smile. He was not used to such occasions, and it was really stressful. He was fully responsible for the technical aspects, while Noah continued to lead the remaining staff in the 10th Section to conduct mechanical and biochemical research.

Suddenly, accompanied by a series of dripping sounds, Li Guoguo ran out with a livid face in an instant.

"Section Chief,, c48, y78, y8 pipelines have problems, and the internal pressure has begun to increase."

Noah sighed, glanced at the citizens who were full of expectations outside the command center, and scratched his head.

"Gather all the people in Section 10, and the factory must be opened tonight as soon as possible, otherwise, there will be serious problems."

Noah took out his phone and quickly dialed Noah's number.

"Chief, the situation is not good. Bring all the most advanced engineering robots from the 10 departments. The factory must start operating today."
