At this time, the information monitoring center in Motucheng was bustling with people, as noisy as a vegetable market.

All surveillance equipment in the city is controlled here, and it is also the information exchange center.

In the last days, as the eyes and ears of a city, no amount of elaboration can overstate its importance. This can be seen just by looking at this rare cement building in Desert City.

In fact, its main office area is still in the refuge layer more than ten meters underground. With strong defense, even if the entire Desert City is destroyed, the monitoring center can still be preserved intact.

"Area C3 has been at peace, and the sandworm is estimated to be dead." A monitor reported loudly, with excitement in his eyebrows.

More than a minute passed.

"Same here, there is no movement in area A5." Another monitor also said.

"The surveillance in D4 area has been destroyed, but the army has withdrawn, and it should have been resolved."

Reports in the control room came one after another, and the originally dull atmosphere suddenly became lively.

The red dots on the big screen on the wall disappeared one by one quickly, and the time interval between some similar red dots did not even exceed half a minute.

"What happened?" A person took off his headphones and asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, how could the red dots disappear so quickly?" Another person asked, equally confused.

"This time is too abnormal. Do you want to report it to the director?"

"I guess not. I saw that he has been answering the phone outside and hasn't come out yet. This is probably what happened."

… …

The levels of these sandworms themselves are not high, the highest is the light green level, which is not worth mentioning compared to the powerful defense force of Desert City.

One heavy cannon shot can easily destroy it!

But just like no matter how powerful a creature is, it is also fragile internally. Humans can kill a ferocious beast, but they cannot prevent a group of germs. Once a mutated beast invades the city, its danger level will increase exponentially if its hands are restrained. of increment.

And this is the role of powerful evolvers.

For Luo Yuan's strength, such a battle was not difficult at all. In addition to the small area of Desert City, all the sandworms were cleared away in just half an hour.

When Luo Yuan returned to the city government building, there were a few more people in the small office, making it even more crowded.

After Mayor Wu’s introduction, I learned that most of Motucheng’s leadership team had already arrived.

There was a warm exchange of polite greetings, but Luo Yuan showed little interest. He quickly excused himself from being tired from the journey and left with a group of people. Naturally, Luo Yuan did not need to worry about where to live. Under the leadership of secretary Xiao Zheng, the group walked into a "high-end hotel" "Community, and stopped under a "small villa" on the third floor.

"Mr. Luo, you will stay here for the time being. You will definitely have other arrangements tomorrow. I hope you don't mind." Secretary Xiao Zheng said respectfully.

"I don't have high requirements for a place to live, as long as it can accommodate people," Luo Yuandao said.

Mind, how could you mind? After the end of the world, apart from living in a military base for a while, living in a cave is pretty good at other times. When it's not, you can only live in the open air.

"This is the key here, by the way!" Xiao Zheng remembered something and said: "This community will have water and electricity cuts after ten o'clock. If you want to wash up, you can only do it before then. It's not too late now." , I’ll take my leave first.”

When Luo Yuan took the key, Xiao Zheng left as if running away. As a perceptual evolver, he felt more sensitive than others. The omnipresent and powerful sense of oppression made him seem to have an illusion, as if he was facing The one facing him was not a human being, but a level five terrifying mutant beast. In just a few words, he felt a little exhausted. If he hadn't tried his best to stay calm, he might have lost his composure.

Naturally, this villa cannot be compared with the villa before the apocalypse. It is just a three-story wooden house, and it seems to be no different in shape from the buildings on the street. But if you look closely, you can see the difference.

The workmanship of the villas here is obviously more fine, and the wooden boards are tightly connected with each other, with no gaps at all.

Luo Yuan secretly identified it and found that the wood it used was not ordinary. The whole body was made of blue grade wood. Although such grade wood is everywhere in today's apocalypse, it is almost worthless, but if you consider the value of this kind of wood, The difficulty of processing is very rare.

Moreover, the materials used are extremely luxurious. The door alone is five centimeters thick, and the walls are fifteen centimeters thick. In terms of defense, it is probably worse than the 20 to 30 centimeters thick ordinary cement walls before the end of the world.

Luo Yuan opened the door, and the group of people couldn't wait to walk into the living room.

Wang Xiaguang fumbled to turn on the light, and the room was bright.

Wang Shishi saw that there was a sofa in the living room. He ran over and sat down with a happy face: "It's such a big house. It would be great if I could live here all the time."

"Yes, it's really nice here." Huang Jiahui picked up the rag on the coffee table and subconsciously wiped the thin dust on it, saying with some emotion.

"Oh, this is enough. With Boss Luo's ability, he will definitely be assigned better ones in the future!" Huo Dong said excitedly. He had heard it before. Judging from the secretary's tone just now, this place should be just As a temporary measure, in order to win over Boss Luo, the next step is probably to be a wave of sugar-coated bullets.

Before the end of the world, he was just a small businessman. At most, he only knew one deputy section chief, and he only had a meal with him, and they were just acquaintances. As for those city leaders, they were completely beyond his reach and he had never even met them.

But today, these city leaders are not only enthusiastic, but even a little flattering. Although he is not the protagonist, he feels proud to be a member of the team.

"Boss Luo can still do well even if he goes to Xinjing City. Let alone such a small town, I guess there is not even a fifth-level evolver here. As long as those city leaders have good brains, it would be strange if they don't win over him." Xia The company commander said with a smile.

Everyone was a little excited, and once they relaxed, they couldn't stop themselves. Luo Yuan looked at the time and had to interrupt:

"It's already half past nine. It's getting late. Let's go get ready to wash up first. If you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow."

Only then did everyone realize that the water and electricity would be cut off at ten o'clock. If they didn't wash, they would have to wait until tomorrow.

Luo Yuan simply washed up and walked into the master bedroom on the first floor. He found that Huang Jiahui had already laid out the mat and returned with a basin of water.

"Why don't you go to the bathroom to wash up?" Luo Yuan asked casually. Seeing a stack of old newspapers on the bedside table, he picked it up.

"There are too many people, I'm not used to it." Huang Jiahui glanced at Luo Yuan, then took off her clothes, revealing her plump body, and began to wipe it gently.

"Just be patient for a while, the situation should get better in the future." Luo Yuan said while reading the newspaper.

"I'm satisfied to be able to live here. Compared to the outside, it's like heaven here." Huang Jiahui sighed, and said hintingly: "Hey, how long did it take for us to live together?"

Luo Yuan said nothing. Huang Jiahui looked back and found that his brows were furrowed and his attention had been completely attracted by the contents of the newspaper.
