The next morning, at IDIB Headquarters.
Ingrid Hannigan was waiting in the lobby for Agent Li Chengfeng and the others to arrive.
Starting today, the Star Squad had its own exclusive office space.
That's right, office space.
Don't think that the work of an FBI Agent is just to fight crime all over the world; the clerical work they have to do is no less than that of an ordinary police station, and sometimes even more.
The truth of some incidents is not suitable for most ordinary people to know, so multiple different mission logs need to be written, one true and one false, or even one true and multiple false.
Many Agents who had just joined the FBI would, for this reason, feel a sense of disappointment with the job.
So over the years, the retention rate of new Agents recruited each time has been less than 40%, and more than half of them left for this reason.
It wasn't until nine o'clock in the morning that Li Chengfeng, Ada Wong, and Harley Quinn, the two Mature Women, arrived late.
"Agent Ingrid? Why are you standing in the lobby? Have you been transferred to the first floor to be a receptionist?"
Agent Li Chengfeng's mouth!
A vein of anger throbbed slightly on Ingrid Hannigan's forehead, but her face still maintained a proper smile.
"Because the Director has arranged a new office for the Star Squad, I'm here to welcome everyone."
"A new office? Then let's go."
Li Chengfeng nodded and followed Ingrid Hannigan into the elevator, watching her press the button for the thirty-second floor.
"How did you all come together? Did you meet on the way?"
"Heh heh, Ingrid, you have no idea what I went through last night." Li Chengfeng sneered, "These two women simply didn't want me to sleep!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two Mature Women coughed awkwardly twice, but immediately began to explain with their usual expressions.
"It's not my fault, Li Chengfeng, you know me. I'm an elite field Agent, so some emergency reflex muscle memory is normal."
"It's not my fault either, Li Chengfeng, you know me. I'm an elite mental patient, so it's normal for both my body and mind to lose control."
Awesome, no wonder they can be bad women; it just goes to show that if I'm shameless enough, I can pretend nothing happened.
"Sigh... Ingrid, you judge for Captain me, where in the world are there such people... What are you doing!"
"Writing a report to the Internal Affairs Department, that the Star Squad's Captain and members engaged in group orgies on the very first day of its formation... Mmm mmm mmm."
Harley Quinn stretched out her hands to block the surveillance camera.
Ada Wong clapped her hand over Ingrid's mouth, stifling that outrageous word.
And Li Chengfeng, with quick eyes and hands, grabbed Ingrid's personal terminal and recalled the message.
"Phew."
The three of them simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
If they were reported for a misunderstanding on their first day of work, that would be incredibly embarrassing.
"Listen up, Ingrid, although those two women have big problems with their verbal expression, your comprehension is also quite twisted!"
"Last night, I, a good person, took in two homeless women. There was only one bed in the house, and I was forced by the two women to sleep in the same bed. Then, due to muscle reflexes, we both landed a few hard blows on each other, and so I was in pain all over until past five in the morning before I could barely get some sleep. Understand?"
"Mmm mmm mmm!"
"Let go, Ada."
Ada Wong complied and released her hand from Ingrid's mouth.
"You're very skilled at blocking the surveillance."
"You're not bad either, knowing to cover Ingrid's mouth immediately."
"Hey, that's just from gaining experience covering your mouth, isn't it?"
The two Mature Women exchanged a few compliments, and there was even a hint of mutual appreciation in their eyes.
Just then, the elevator stopped and slowly opened.
The thirty-second floor had been reached.
"By special approval from the Director, all of the thirty-second floor of Headquarters, except for Director Fury's office, will become the exclusive office space for the Star Squad."
The moment Ingrid stepped out of the elevator, she regained her professional logistics personnel demeanor and began introducing the new office to the three.
Just as they had barely settled in, the door to the Director's office at the very end opened, and a black, one-eyed bald man stood there.
"The amusement park tour ends here. Come in for a meeting."
After speaking, he walked into the office.
The four exchanged glances and could only obey the order, entering the room for the meeting.
As civil servants, not having meetings is like having no soul.
Fortunately, Fury was not the kind of leader who could talk nonsense for fifty-nine minutes in an hour-long meeting.
In fact, he was overly direct.
"Someone in Westchester County, New York, has witnessed the appearance of zombies and B.O.W.s, but no casualties have been reported. The Westchester County sheriff has officially requested our assistance." Fury said, while pulling up data on a huge 3D projection, "Ada, you are our FBI expert in handling B.O.W.s, so I'll leave this mission to you to explain."
"Yes, Director." Ada Wong was very serious during work. After browsing all the video and text data of the incident with a poker face, she turned around and began to explain, "The zombie horde consists of ordinary t-virus infected individuals, but they have been wandering within a fixed range, clearly indicating that someone is using special means to control these zombies. And that unknown B.O.W. should be a new type of Tyrant, appearing to be a new model that combines the characteristics of the Tyrant and the Ivan Tyrant. The number might be a problem; there are already four in the video footage alone, and the actual situation might only be more, not less."
[Ding, Mission 'Bio-Crazy Man' has been issued]
[Mission Brief: Naive Captain, this is the first battle for the squad. Clear all zombies and B.O.W.s, and find the mastermind behind it all.]
Sure enough, after Ada Wong finished explaining the mission details, the system also issued a mission.
But Li Chengfeng wouldn't be so easily fooled by the system.
Just like the last mission, it was clearly just to persuade Harley Quinn, but in fact, it was a furious confrontation with the Joker and the entire Joker Gang.
In this mixed Universe, who knows how many strange characters would randomly appear!
"Ada, B.O.W.s, can they be completely dealt with by thermal weapons?"
"That's right, B.O.W.s are a relatively simple job compared to those Superheroes or Supervillains; they can be dealt with as long as there is sufficient individual firepower. However, the difficulty of this mission lies in finding the culprit who can control zombies and B.O.W.s, because B.O.W.s don't appear out of thin air; every time, they are absolutely accompanied by a conspiracy."
"Is the weapon reserve on the airbus sufficient?"
"Absolutely enough. If worst comes to worst, we can just use the quinjet on the airbus for a saturation bombardment."
"Then I have no more questions."
Li Chengfeng clapped his hands and stood up, walking out.
"Star Squad, it's time to depart."
He had to admit, Li Chengfeng thought his back view was a bit too cool, but Fury's next sentence made him put on a pained expression.
"What's the rush? There are some things about this mission that I'm very interested in, so I will also temporarily join the Star Squad, Captain Li Chengfeng."
Damn, going on a mission with the leader is the worst!
