The Zombie King Wants To Live An Ordinary Life - Chapter 1
In the hot August, Lu Ren went to the Special Human Resources Bureau in the new suburban district of City H for an interview in a suit and shoes.
“Please introduce yourself first.”
“Hello, my name is Lu Ren. I graduated from University A with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. I have a psychologist certificate. I have two years of psychological counseling experience after graduation. My resume fully complies with the unit’s open recruitment conditions. At the same time , I really like the job of helping others. It is my lifelong dream to become a philanthropist before the end of the world.” Lu Ren sat in an empty conference room and had a conversation with the cold mechanical camera.
“Mr. Lu Ren, it says that your age is thirty-two years old, so the diplomas and so-called work experience you got are all five years ago, right?” The interviewer’s inquiry came on the radio.
“Yes.” Lu Ren nodded, “The five years of human survival in the last days are all problems. Naturally, I can’t provide consultation and treatment services in the zombies.”
“Many of the citizen’s information before the end of the world is lost and damaged. You said it is difficult for us to tell the truth from the false.”
“Then how should I prove the authenticity of the resume? Talk about psychological crisis intervention? Or which one of you needs on-site consultation?” Lu Ren looked at the camera and curled his mouth, “Please give me at least a chance to perform.”
“Mr. Lu Ren, the big world data shows that your citizen safety value is 98 points, and the trust code is green. Based on your excellent personal information, we will adopt the information file you provided.” After a while, the mechanical female voice Sounded again.
“That’s great. I’ve always been a good citizen who abides by the law.” Lu Ren let out a long sigh.
“Do you know the Special Human Resources Bureau? Did you read the entry manual carefully before the interview?”
“Of course, I’ve read that booklet several times. The Special Human Resources Bureau is a new type of institution established by the post-apocalyptic government. The management personnel here are a bit special and seem to be violent.” Lu Ren paused, ” In fact, I forgot to write in my resume. I can fight freely and have a certain ability to protect myself. I think I can do this job.”
“Mr. Lu, this work is extremely dangerous.” The mechanical voice said lightly, “It is not ordinary social people you want to enlighten, but dangerous elements who cannot adapt to the peaceful social order.”
“Yes, I know.” Lu Ren scratched his head and said frankly, “This job is indeed a bit dangerous, but it is better than money and decent work. I won’t find an iron job at my age. There will be no market for blind dates and marriages in the future.”
“Are you single?”
“Yes, since the mother’s fetus.” Lu Ren smiled, feeling an arrow in his chest. I don’t know what this question has to do with the recruitment of a mentor.
“You are honest.”
“‘Those who do not believe in words, do nothing’ is my motto, which is considered my strength.” Lu Ren was talking nonsense. Before coming, he thought he was well prepared, but the interviewer’s angle of questioning was too unbelievable, he felt I can’t hold it anymore.
“Okay. Mr. Lu Ren, you have been admitted.”
“I, am I admitted?” Lu Ren repeated subconsciously.
“Yes, after signing the contract, you will be the instructor of the Special Human Resources Bureau.”
Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, and then felt…the interview went smoothly a little unbelievably…as if it was a scam waiting for him to enter the set.
“Wait, don’t you think about it? Doesn’t it usually take a few days for an interview to have a result?” Lu Ren asked cautiously.
“So far, you are the only interviewer who meets all the requirements. We don’t have too many choices.” The alloy door of the conference room slowly opened in front of Lu Ren. “Doctor Lu, now you can leave the meeting room. , Ready for the entry procedures.”
Lu Ren was a little confused. He looked at the wall clock on the wall. The entire interview time was less than ten minutes.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses was waiting for him outside carrying a briefcase. He came out and took the initiative to stretch out his hand: “Doctor Lu, welcome to join the Special Human Resources Bureau. My name is Zhao, and I am the director of the Administration Department.”
“Hello, Director Zhao.” Lu Ren stepped forward and shook hands.
The furnishings of the entire building are brand new, with plain walls, bright windows and clean marble floors. Lu Ren followed Director Zhao to the office on the third floor and was very satisfied with the future office environment.
“This is an entry contract, you need to confirm it and sign it.” Director Zhao handed over a document from his handbag.
Faced with this lengthy official document, Lu Ren nodded his head and signed it after turning a few pages symbolically. He thought that the Special Human Resources Bureau was also a government-run institution, and there were extensive reports and interviews in the newspapers. It should not be possible to use a black-hearted contract to squeeze an ordinary person like him.
Director Zhao retracted the document, “Dr. Lu, as the name suggests, the Special Human Resources Bureau is a very special institution dedicated to helping people with mental disorders return to normal life. Our training and transformation system is three years, and excellent training talents are also available. Employment is arranged by participating in the national large-scale examination. Therefore, although the assessment is not as strict as the normal human unit, the employment rate is also one of our criteria for judging work. Of course, for us, the most important thing is safety. one.”
Lu Ren nodded seemingly understanding.
“The other thing is that the unit implements closed training, everyone must live in the unit, and they cannot enter or leave without the approval of the unit leader.”
“What about weekends and statutory holidays? Do you have to stay in the unit?” Lu Ren was dumbfounded. “Isn’t this the equivalent of going to jail?”
“The area of the Special Human Resources Bureau is equivalent to one percent of City H. Food, shopping and entertainment are all equipped with these infrastructures.” Director Zhao said, “Moreover, the unit will arrange annual leave for employees in accordance with regulations.”
“Annual vacation… wouldn’t it be like meeting Magpie Bridge when you are in a relationship? Are the employees of the entire unit all single dogs?” Lu Ren murmured.
“In fact, most of the employees we hired have weak connections with the society.” Director Zhao pushed his glasses, “And as far as I know, you shouldn’t worry about dating, Dr. Lu.”
“Nothing is the crux of the problem.” Lu Ren blinked and asked, “Is the unit the target of distribution?”
“You can try to find like-minded people here by yourself.”
Lu Ren coughed slightly, “Director Zhao, take the liberty to ask, are you married?”
“My wife works in the supervision office. Free love is allowed within the unit.”
“It’s really internal digestion.” Lu Ren shrank his neck, “but this place is obviously full of monks and porridge, and the ratio of men and women is not coordinated! Is it too late to regret it now?”
“Doctor Lu, one of the documents you just signed is a non-disclosure agreement. What happened in this unit is a state secret and cannot be disclosed to the outside world at will. If you leave your job without authorization now—”
“Will I be mutilated like in a TV series?” Lu Ren’s mouth bends.
“No, it’s just that you need to pay a large amount of default money.” Director Zhao spread out a hand, “I remember it was about five million peace coins.”
five million? What unequal treaty is this?
He has all his net worth plus one thousandth of the amount that has not yet breached the contract.
Lu Ren cursed secretly in his heart, with a smile on his face, with a serious expression: “Director Zhao, I was joking. This job is simply tailor-made for me. It is just a bit difficult to find someone. As long as the unit needs it, It is my duty.”
“Doctor Lu, it’s good for you to have this kind of awareness. There are not many trainers in our unit. You will be responsible for the psychological consultation of the two classes after school starts.”
“Okay, Director Zhao, don’t worry.” At this moment, Luren, who had boarded the thief ship, could not make any other expressions except for smiling faces.
“This is an SOS bracelet that connects to the unit’s intelligent system network and can locate your real-time location. If you encounter any critical situation during your tenure, press the red button three times, and the security department will send someone to rescue you as soon as possible.” Finally, Director Zhao gave Lu Ren a silver metal bracelet, “That silver button is a high-pressure self-defense spray.”
“Director Zhao, I don’t think such high-tech equipment is needed for consulting work.” Lu Ren played with the exquisitely crafted bracelet, engraved with his name, employee number, and an olive flower that symbolizes peace.
“Doctor Lu, during the interview, you seem to say that you have learned some free fighting, but after you actually work, you will find that those so-called fighting tricks are of no use to beastly lunatics. This bracelet is your last Line of defense of life.”
Lu Ren exited the office, took the keys and luggage from the front desk of the dormitory building, and went to his staff dormitory.
The dormitory is a senior suite, bedroom, separate bathroom, kitchenette, plus a south-facing balcony. In terms of hardware conditions, the Special Human Resources Bureau is backed by the government. It is indeed rich and can not fault it.
“Is this my home from now on?” After finishing his things and lying on the soft and clean bed, Lu Ren let out a long sigh, “It’s a long-lost feeling.”
For five years in the last days, I was used to camping in barren ruins like walking dead.
Suddenly there is a place to stay, and it is difficult to find the feeling of stability at home in the past for a while.
Lu Ren was not discouraged. He knew this was a starting point. As long as he had a stable job and a decent identity, sooner or later he would get his wish to live a stable and ordinary life like a normal human.
Lu Ren was dreaming about the future of the salted fish waiting to die, and suddenly the phone vibrated in his pants pocket.
Lu Ren picked up the phone and Director Zhao sent a message.
“Dr. Lu, this semester has a special returning student who is transferred to the unit for training. Please go to the special human resources bureau supervision office at noon tomorrow to do the work. The student file has been sent to your employee mailbox. Please check it.”
Salted fish is not easy to be a job. He has been assigned a task less than 24 hours after he hasn’t joined the job.
