Mayor Wu could tell by looking at his expression that he didn't take his words to heart at all before, and he might not even have informed the sentry below.
But he didn't say anything. He had long been used to this. He just nodded and said, "Then go back quickly!"
When the secretary left the office expressionlessly, Mayor Wu showed a wry smile on his face.
Evolvers are a special group. They are powerful and unruly. No matter how hard they try to hide it, they always have an indescribable feeling of looking down on ordinary people. Some radical evolvers even believe that they are transcendent from human beings, that they are the direction of evolutionary selection, and that they are the saviors of the end of the world. Ordinary people are not worthy of leading them at all.
On the surface, the reconstruction area is united and united, but internally there are already many undercurrents and contradictions. If it were not for the current enemy of mankind, which is at stake, I am afraid that a war between evolutionists and ordinary people would have already started.
… …
There were bursts of gunfire in the distance, like thunderous explosions, and a strong smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air.
"Luo Yuan, don't go, it's too dangerous." Huang Jiahui said quickly when she saw Luo Yuan clenching the handle of the knife in his hand.
"They didn't let us enter the city just now, why do they care about them now?" Master Wang said matter-of-factly.
Captain Xia listened for a while. His hearing was not as exaggerated as Luo Yuan's, but based on the density of artillery fire and the sound of explosions, he could still make a general analysis: "It should be fine. Such an attack will not be able to affect the heavily defended frontline city. Listening to the sound of artillery, only some small artillery are being used, and the heavy artillery has not been fully used yet. "
If heavy artillery is used, a lot of people will die, Captain Xia thought in his mind, but his face was unusually calm. Soldiers like him who came out of blood and fire have already seen too many deaths, unless they are close comrades, other strangers Their lives are just a number in their eyes.
Luo Yuan sighed and released the handle of the knife. This was not the wilderness he was familiar with, but a real battlefield filled with artillery fire.
The rain of bullets and the whizzing shells, once they break in rashly, even he can't take advantage of. After all, no matter how powerful he is, his body is still a mortal body, and his fourteen-point constitution can withstand ordinary pistol bullets. But it can't stop special rifle bullets that have been modified after the apocalypse, let alone artillery shells.
It is too dangerous to enter the battlefield rashly.
The group of people looked solemn and listened quietly to the sound of cannons in the distance. No one expected that they had just arrived at the reconstruction area, and before they even had time to enter, they witnessed an attack by mutant beasts.
At this time, the door groaned heavily and slowly opened.
Everyone was stunned and quickly looked toward the door. Soon, a young soldier trotted over: "Is there someone named Luo Yuan here!"
"I am! What's the matter?" Luo Yuan did not stand up, glanced at him with doubts, and said lightly. Although he could understand why he was rejected before, it was impossible to look good anymore.
For some reason, the young soldier suddenly felt a little nervous, and his heart was beating like a drum. He quickly said: "You can come in now, someone wants to see you."
"It's you who aren't allowed in, but you're the one who's letting us in. Didn't you say we have to go through quarantine first?" Wang Shishi said with a straight heart and some dissatisfaction.
The young soldier who had a serious face before saw this beautiful girl who looked like an elf, his eyes immediately averted, as if he had seen a wild beast, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Master, don't embarrass this soldier. Since we can enter, let's go in." Luo Yuan said. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, he also knew that it was useless to ask this soldier. He would always understand when he got to the place.
Master Wang was just irritated, but when Luo Yuan said it, he stopped speaking.
"By the way, what about the war beast? Can it enter the city?" Luo Yuan remembered something and asked suddenly.
"No... I'm sorry, we have regulations. War beasts can only be released in specific areas." The soldier mustered up his courage.
"There are forts everywhere here. They won't be killed by mistake, right?" Luo Yuan asked. These two war beasts followed them all the way through the apocalypse, especially the giant lizard. Without it, their group would not be able to rebuild at all without relying on it alone. District, it would be a pity if he was accidentally killed.
"No, as long as he passes the domestication level monitoring, we will mark him and implant an identification chip. He will be protected by law and you only need to pay a monthly fee."
Luo Yuan nodded. The city was indeed not suitable for giant beasts to enter. People there were densely populated. Even if a tamed giant beast would not actively hurt people, its huge size might cause accidental injuries when walking around.
As for the cost, he has nothing to worry about. Based on the value theory that can be created, for a powerful evolver like him, money is just a number.
Luo Yuan let the giant lizard and King Kong stay where they were, and then followed the soldiers into the door. What they greeted was a middle-aged man in a suit, who was the previous secretary.
At this time, his face had a hint of awe, and his waist was slightly bent. Even when facing Mayor Wu, he had never been so respectful. In his eyes, Luo Yuan's whole body was exuding a hot radiance, and as he got closer, he I felt like I was about to burn.
He quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to look any further.
His ability to evolve is very mysterious and weird. He can see through a person's aura through his eyes, and influence or even extinguish it. If the aura of an ordinary person is as weak as a candlelight, then Luo Yuan is like a miniature sun.
This phenomenon, except for some powerful mutant beasts, he has never seen anyone with such a powerful aura. Even a fifth-level evolver he once met was far inferior. It was like the scorching sun compared to Bright moon.
Before Luo Yuan could speak, he immediately said respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Luo, the mayor wants to see you."
Luo Yuan was a little surprised. He thought for a while and made some vague guesses, then said: "You can lead the way."
Qian Zhuang is a coward, and a man of skill is bold. If he had been invited by such a big shot before, he would have been either flattered or uneasy. But now, he didn't feel anything at all, and he only had a calm look on his face.
Not only Luo Yuan, but also Huo Dong and others only had slight mood swings. After struggling in the cruel apocalypse for a long time, the influence of rules has faded in his heart, and he can no longer respect power as he did in peacetime.
The secretary didn't pay attention at all. Instead, he looked matter-of-factly and quickly led the way with his head lowered.
Motucheng is very small, probably just the size of a small town before the end of the world, and the houses on both sides are low, mostly two- or three-story wooden buildings. Luo Yuan rarely saw windows along the way.
The roads were full of potholes and filled with garbage and mud. In some places, there were even large-scale collapses. In addition to the main roads that were repaired with cement, a large area of nearby buildings had collapsed.
This place was originally a desert, and the foundation was unstable. In addition, when the city was built, it was impossible to work carefully. The foundation was very shallow, and collapse may be the norm.
The road passed through a heavily guarded industrial area. Under the moonlight, a large number of artillery and armored vehicles exuded a cold sheen on each road. Even if sandworms invaded, these armed forces remained motionless.
There are almost no lights in the entire industrial area. Only the faint light leaking from the cracks in the distant doors and the dull roar of the machines indicate that these factories are producing around the clock.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Luo Yuan and his party walked into a three-story building.
