Half an hour later, the group was sent to the city guest house.
The official arranged the room. Before leaving, he suddenly received a call. After hanging up, he said to Luo Yuan with a respectful face: "Mr. Luo, the mayor wants to see you."
He looked slightly strange. In order to enhance administrative efficiency after the end of the world, the political system has been fine-tuned. Now it is a mayor-responsible system, and the mayor is the top leader.
However, they are both mayors. The status of being the mayor of a strategic city like Hope City is completely different from that of being the mayor of a small marginal city like Motucheng. If we have to compare, it is equivalent to the difference between provincial and ministerial levels and divisional levels.
After Luo Yuan was slightly disturbed, he quickly calmed down: "Then I'll trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble, Mr. Luo is too polite." The civil servant said somewhat flattered.
"You don't have to wait for me. Just take a rest after eating. I should be back soon." Luo Yuan put down his machete and said to Huang Jiahui.
Then Luo Yuan followed the civil servants and left the guest house. Ten minutes later, he stepped into the city government building.
"You are Luo Yuan, right? I am the mayor's secretary Lai Yonglai. The mayor has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me." As soon as he walked into the hall, a strong middle-aged man came up to him.
He walks like a tiger with wind, his feet feel like mud, and his eyes are sharp and lively. Such a person, even if he is not an evolutionist, is still a practitioner. However, according to the convention of selecting secretaries in the end of the world, he should have both, and be powerful. .
"Please ask Secretary Lai to lead the way." Luo Yuan saw that he had no intention of shaking hands, so he said with a smile.
Secretary Lai didn't speak, his face was expressionless, and he looked like he was intimidated by strangers. He glanced at Luo Yuan warily, as if he was searching for possible hidden weapons, and had some urge to search him.
In the end, Secretary Lai still didn't search him. For an evolutionist, if he wanted to kill an ordinary person, he wouldn't need a weapon at all.
Luo Yuan didn't take it seriously when the other person looked at him like he was a class enemy. Not everyone would treat him politely, and it was impossible to make everyone like him.
Although it was already ten o'clock in the evening, the building was still very busy with people coming and going in a hurry.
The two quickly walked to the mayor's office at the end. Secretary Lai knocked on the door and whispered: "Mayor, Luo Yuan has arrived."
"Let him in!" The voice of the speaker was hoarse and low, and he was obviously old.
Secretary Lai gave Luo Yuan a warning look and made a gesture of invitation. Luo Yuan pushed the door open and entered.
"Is this Comrade Ronaldinho? Sit down!" This is an old man who looks to be in his fifties or sixties. He wears black-rimmed reading glasses and his hair is mostly gray. Seeing Luo Yuan come in, he quickly took off his glasses. , said with a smile.
Luo Yuan hesitated for a moment and sat down on the sofa next to him.
"Comrade Ronaldinho, do you mind if I call you here so late?" the old man said with a smile and kindly.
Luo Yuan shook his head and said with a small compliment: "It's my honor to have the mayor call me over!"
"You, you, ever since I got the information about you, I really wanted to see you. Unfortunately, Song Guangming, your Motucheng, refused to let go, so I dragged him away. I didn't expect that Motucheng would be gone after saying no. , even Song Guangming died," the old man sighed in a normal tone, with a look of sadness on his face.
"I'm just an ordinary evolver. I don't need the mayor to take me so seriously." Luo Yuan said with some confusion.
"Comrade Ronaldinho, it's not a good thing to be so low-key at such a young age." The old man pointed at Luo Yuan and scolded with a smile: "I know you have concerns and have heard some bad rumors, but these are all aimed at some people with temperament. You should be able to understand the bad individuals and the cancer of the system.”
Luo Yuan nodded. He knew that the other party was talking about the military purge. This incident resulted in countless evolvers being killed, and some powerful ones fled into the wild and became wanderers.
"Now we can say that humankind has reached the point of life and death. Human extinction is not a joke, but a reality. Maybe we can persist for another five years, maybe we cannot persist for one year.
You may not know that there are not many humans around the world today. Africa, South America and Australia have completely lost contact. Our former neighbor Japan was also submerged in the earthquake and tsunami. Today, only Russia, the United States and Europe can still be contacted. The total population may be less than 300 million, and most of them are old, weak, women and children. Humanity is in danger. "
The old man said in a heavy voice: "But maybe human beings will eventually become extinct, but it must be an extinction without regrets, because our efforts have exhausted all the potential of the race."
Luo Yuan's expression gradually became serious. The old man's voice was not loud and his tone was as gentle as water, but it made him deafening and shocked in his heart.
Perhaps it was too heavy to say. The old man changed the subject and said: "Evolutionaries are the hope of mankind to defeat the apocalypse. Nowadays, science and technology can make such rapid progress. In addition to the complete liberalization of technological exchanges in major human gathering places, some of these evolutions Their abilities are often able to achieve things that cannot be achieved by technology. Of course, there are also some particularly powerful evolvers who strive on various fronts and make great contributions to mankind.
The old man looked at Luo Yuan, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. For some reason, facing this ordinary old man, Luo Yuan suddenly felt a little nervous: "I know that young people, especially evolvers, like freedom, but the current form has already There is no room for such luxury.
I want to call you here this time. Firstly, I want to hear your thoughts and what position you want to be in. Secondly, I just want to meet you and see if you can go all the way from the occupied area to here, and bring a group of ordinary people with you. Team, who are they? Do you have three heads and six arms? "
"I'm afraid I'm disappointing you!" Luo Yuan said respectfully.
"No, I'm not disappointed. From your eyes, I know that you are not the kind of selfish person. This is enough." The old man said happily: "I heard that you are a martial arts practitioner. Are you interested in becoming one? Instructor?"
Seeing Luo Yuan's confused look, the old man smiled and said, "Don't be surprised. How can we let such a powerful evolver know nothing about you?"
Luo Yuan declined politely: "I don't like the atmosphere of the army very much. I recommend two people, Deng Chao and Zhong Chuqiang. They studied with me for a while and should have moved here with the big team by now."
Seeing his refusal, the old man was not surprised. This was just a test. Affected by the Great Purge, evolvers who were not trained by the army were always a little repelled by the army. When he heard that the other party recommended someone else to be an instructor, his expression changed and he said: "It's an ordinary person." Human, how strong is he?"
After Luo Yuan nodded, he said: "Basically, it can kill two or three level mutant beasts!"
The old man looked solemn and quickly took out his notebook and wrote down his name.
The information coming from Motucheng seemed to be inaccurate. His companions who had learned martial arts from him were stronger than what appeared on paper.
An ordinary person who has learned martial arts can actually kill two or three level mutant beasts. This is not ordinary martial arts. Most evolvers are in this range of strength.
Nowadays, martial arts has been popularized in the redevelopment area, but the actual effect is not ideal and does not meet expectations at all. He didn't expect that Luo Yuan would bring him such a big surprise.
That's right. He was able to walk all the way from the occupied area to here. He encountered many dangers during the process. Even an ordinary person has become experienced in many battles. However, he won't completely believe it. Everything needs to be tested before he can know it.
He closed the notebook and said with a smile: "Since I don't want to go to the army, I will recommend a special department. I think you will like it."
