Chen Xinjie, the office director, is inconspicuous in the organization of the Sword department. Whether it is the seemingly strong Lin Feiyan or the careless Luo Yuan, they are head and shoulders above them. Even ordinary members of the Sword team can tell her to do things.
This beautiful young woman seems to play the role of a housekeeper, serving every member of the sword department. But anyone with a little bit of political savvy will know that this ordinary person with the highest position in the Hope City Sword Department is responsible for all the logistics work and is also a semi-public spy in the Sword Department.
Report the ideological status and personal political leanings of Sword members, and collect various useful intelligence.
Of course, she is very measured in what she does, and her personality is as gentle as water, so she is not offensive.
"Vice captain, you are such a rare visitor. Why did you want to come to my place today?" Chen Xinjie opened the door and said with a soft smile.
She had a pair of crescent moon eyes and a charming smile. However, Luo Yuan had no interest in admiring her at this time. When he saw her turning around, as if ready to make tea, he quickly stopped her and said, "Don't bother me. I came here to tell you something important."
Chen Xinjie was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Luo Yuan's face was a little serious, it was obviously not a trivial matter. She smiled slightly, walked over and locked the door, and said: "Vice Captain Luo, sit down first and tell me, what's the matter?"
At that moment, Luo Yuan told the story about the discovery of intelligent robots from extraterrestrial civilizations the night before. He even explained the time and place clearly, down to the smallest details.
Different statuses naturally lead to different weights of words. If an ordinary citizen said this, even if Chen Xinjie was not a joke, it would not attract much attention, at least it would require more evidence.
But Luo Yuan is a super evolver and the vice-captain of the sword department. He usually behaves normally and has no tendency to be mentally ill. His words already have considerable weight, and he will not and cannot joke about this kind of thing.
"Vice Captain, are you telling the truth? Isn't this a joke?" Chen Xinjie opened her mouth, her smile already a little forced.
Luo Yuan knew that the other party did not really doubt him, but was just a little unbelievable. Anyone who heard the news would be doubtful. Facing her slightly absent-minded gaze, Luo Yuan nodded solemnly.
Chen Xinjie exhaled and said with a heavy heart: "Vice captain, you may not be able to go out today. This matter is too important. You will probably go to Xinjing soon."
Luo Yuan nodded, he had already been mentally prepared for this.
Immediately, in front of Luo Yuan, Chen Xinjie picked up the phone, hesitated for a moment, and started dialing. After a few minutes, she hung up the phone, her forehead was covered with thin beads of sweat, as if she had collapsed.
She calmed down and called the train station to book a ticket.
"We'll take the next train and leave right away."
… …
Next, the two hurried to the train station.
Compared with the underground train station in Motucheng, the underground train station in Hope City is several times larger. Especially the nearby freight station is almost the size of several football fields, with mountains of containers inside.
Nowadays, sea transportation has stopped, and road transportation is limited to short distances. Freight exchanges mostly rely on the relatively safe underground railway. As one of the major cities in the reconstruction area, the daily throughput here is astronomical.
However, compared to the busy freight traffic, the passenger traffic seemed extremely sluggish. There were only a few twenty or thirty people in the entire huge waiting hall, and judging from their clothes, it was obvious that most of them were traveling for official business. Such a number of people would not even be able to pass the train in a small county town before the end of the world. Not as good as standing.
The reason why it was built so big was not only to consider the possible improvement of the situation in the future, but also to transport troops.
Luo Yuan looked at it for a while, feeling a little pessimistic in his heart. Such a good situation now was hard-won, and he didn't know how long it could last.
…
Not long after waiting, the train arrived at the station. The two of them entered the carriage, sat down, and were silent, each thinking about their own thoughts.
Luo Yuan leaned on the armchair and closed his eyes to rest.
What happened in the past few days really made him physically and mentally exhausted. Although his injuries had completely recovered, he was still worried. What he saw that day had become an unbearable burden, and he couldn't breathe. Civilization puts too much pressure on him, and no matter how good his mentality is, he cannot be heartless in this situation. This is not something that can be self-comforting, pretending not to disappear, or something that can be resolved.
Today, I have completely let go of the burden that has been hidden deep in my heart. I can't help but feel a sense of relief in my heart. Even if the sky falls, there are tall people holding it up. Although, this is also self-comfort. Even if the reconstruction area knows about it, it will not help. As an extraterrestrial civilization capable of interstellar voyages, the level of scientific and technological development is far better than that of humans. It is completely crushing the reconstruction area. There is no need to go all out, just as long as With a little push, the redevelopment area will evaporate.
At this time, Luo Yuan suddenly felt his palms soften and found that Chen Xinjie was holding him tightly, and his body was trembling slightly.
Luo Yuan sighed and held her palm firmly with his backhand. Even when he faced this matter, he was so unbearable. As an ordinary person with weak strength, Chen Xinjie was obviously under greater pressure. He didn't even tell Huang Jiahui and others, as if he didn't want them to bear such a crushing pressure. .
Chen Xinjie didn't speak, lowered her head, and remained silent all the way.
The train drove for two hours and gradually approached the station. The two of them filed out of the station along with the crowd. As soon as they walked out of the train station, a strong pungent smell hit their faces. Luo Yuan frowned slightly and looked up outside. One glance.
The sight of Xinjing in front of us is shocking.
On both sides are majestic and steep cliffs with a height of three to four hundred meters. The entire Xinjing City is located between the mountain gorges. The cliffs have been wrapped in cement and look gray. It is impossible to tell whether they were dug manually or not. Naturally formed.
Except for the narrow passage between the east and west mountain gorges, there are no exits in the entire Xinjing City.
No wonder the higher-ups gave up on Hope City and instead placed the capital of a country here. The conditions here are really good. With the cliffs on both sides, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. One man can block it and ten thousand people can't break it.
Looking at the shocking scene in front of him, even the haze that had been hanging in Luo Yuan's heart for the past few days could not help but dissipate a little.
However, due to the terrain, the air circulation here is not smooth, and the air pollution level is so high that compared with here, Hope City can even be called clean.
There was a light mist all around, and the sky was almost invisible above the head.
The large number of industrial bases here release huge amounts of pollution every moment, and the rich, pungent and toxic gases are everywhere. If you have a pre-apocalyptic physique, you may not be able to live here for more than a year.
There was already a car waiting outside.
The car is a brand before the apocalypse. Since the apocalypse, this kind of family car is no longer produced, and has been replaced by various heavy trucks and armored vehicles. Except for some government vehicles, it is difficult to see them on the streets today.
Seeing the two people coming out, a big man in military uniform came out of the driver's cab and opened the back seat door quickly: "General Luo, Director Chen, and Chief No. 2 are already waiting. Please get in the car."
