“My name is Teresa. I’m a captain of the city’s security department, and a mutant like you.”

The long-haired woman had a faint smile on her face as she looked at Zhou Chen, who was stepping on the monster with one foot.

“What’s the benefit of joining your team? Let me make this clear first, I don’t like being restrained,” Zhou Chen felt that the flying car in the sky had already locked onto him. It was impossible for him to leave easily. Joining the other party had become a temporary solution.

“Hehe, there are naturally benefits of joining my team. They will definitely satisfy you. As for the restrictions, there will definitely be some, but as long as you can complete your missions, no one will disturb you in your spare time,” Teresa replied with a smile.

“Can I refuse?” Zhou Chen felt that although this woman had a good appearance and a good attitude, she seemed to be a little dangerous, making him not want to have dealings with her.

“Of course,” Teresa nodded slightly.

“But the loss of our intelligent robot will be on you,” she turned around and glanced at the box behind her, telling Zhou Chen that she already knew what was inside.

“If I join you, can you repair that robot as soon as possible?” Zhou Chen was not flustered. Instead, he was a little happy. He had come here with the goal of finding someone to fix Lucy. Since he seemed to have found the owner, the repair should be quite simple.

“Of course,” Teresa immediately replied. “Smart robots like her are not common.”

“Alright, I can join you, but I hope you can fix her as soon as possible,” Zhou Chen felt that he could try and join this local organization.

“Very good, get in the car with me. You should be able to do it, right?” Teresa waved her hand, and the box dozens of meters away flew into her hand. Then, her long legs exerted strength, and she jumped onto the flying door with the box.

‘Wow, that’s impressive… Is it psychokinesis?’

Zhou Chen was surprised, but his expression did not change at all. He first kicked with all his might, shattering the monster in the ground and ending its life. Then, he jumped into the door of the flying car. ｆ𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

After Zhou Chen entered, the door quickly closed. He could see that other than the driver, him, and Teresa, there were also ten or so armed natives.

These natives were all wearing combat uniforms and helmets. They held firearms and had serious expressions as they sat firmly in their respective seats, looking like elite soldiers.

“Sit anywhere.” Teresa was sitting on a small sofa with her legs crossed.

“Where are we going now?” Zhou Chen found an empty seat and asked her.

“We are going to the headquarters to help you with the enrollment procedures,” Teresa replied while applying nail polish on her hands.

“Direct employment? There are no tests or other steps?”

“There is no need for all that trouble,” Teresa shook her head. “You’re the person I chose. You can skip these procedures. As for this robot, I’ll get someone to fix it when we return to the headquarters. She will be registered under you in the future.”

“Alright…” Zhou Chen felt that this arrangement was not bad.

“Can you tell me how this robot became like this?” He was somewhat interested in this. An intelligent robot of extraordinary value had been ruined and thrown into the trash.

“I’m not too sure about that. The answer will have to wait until she is fixed,” Teresa finished applying nail polish on one hand.

“We can only confirm that her team was completely wiped out when they were exploring the pollution area. If you didn’t bring her here, we wouldn’t even know that she had survived.”

Zhou Chen immediately knew that the woman had lied to him earlier when she said that the loss of the robot would be on him, but he did not care and continued to ask, “Exploring the pollution area? Will I be doing this as well?”

“Yes,” Teresa immediately nodded.

“My team is part of the pollution area exploration team. Only us mutants and robots are suitable to move in pollution areas.”

“Why are we going there? Just to destroy those monsters?” Zhou Chen knew that there were many monsters in the pollution area, but he did not know why these natives would enter those areas despite knowing the dangers involved.

“Hehe, you don’t even know this? Looks like you should be from a backward town,” Teresa, who was about to finish applying the nail polish on her other hand, said with a smile.

“We explore the pollution area for the various resources and remnants of the past civilization inside. Smart robots and these flying cars are the fruits of our exploration team’s labor. Of course, sometimes, we have other motives when we go there, but that’s less common,” Teresa explained.

The humans in this world had suffered heavy losses after experiencing the eruption of the apocalyptic pollution, and their civilization was in danger. Only by going to the various pollution areas to search for the technological accomplishments of the past could they have a chance of returning to glory.

“Alright, we’ve arrived at the headquarters. Come with me.”

Not long after Teresa finished applying the nail polish on her hands, the car stopped. She directly used her Psychokinesis-like ability to open the car door. Then, she jumped down with the box containing Lucy. Zhou Chen quickly followed.

After the two of them jumped off the flying car, they landed in front of a building. There were two armed robot guards standing at the entrance of the building, but when they saw Teresa coming, they gave way.

“Food and accommodation are included in the job. Apart from the basic salary, you will also receive a bonus for every mission you complete. We are currently short of manpower, so we might need you to do missions from tomorrow,” Teresa said to Zhou Chen as she walked along the corridor.

“No problem.” Zhou Chen did not care about this. The job was quite good; he could get some safety in the city, while the outside would provide him with passive skills.

Soon, Teresa brought Zhou Chen upstairs. After making a few turns, they entered an office.

There was an old man wearing glasses staring at the computer on the desk. His hands were constantly hitting the keyboard.

“Dad, this is a mutant I just encountered. He’s quite strong. I want to recruit him,” Teresa said to the bespectacled old man as soon as she entered.

“Oh… Alright. Young man, do your best!” The old man turned his gaze from the screen to Teresa and Zhou Chen.. He smiled and encouraged Zhou Chen.
