Luo Yuan was sitting in the mayor's office, flipping through various documents of Hope City.

With an intelligence of up to sixteen points, he could process things at an astonishing speed. In just ten minutes, he had quickly read through several piles of documents.

Luo Yuan sighed, his heart heavy. The disaster in Hope City caused very heavy losses. The confirmed death toll was as high as about 700,000 people. Although the disaster occurred at one or two o'clock in the morning, for the reconstruction area, daytime and There was almost no difference in the darkness, and the factory area was still brightly lit.

Of course, if it were just this, the death toll would not be so alarming, including the industrial areas located underground. The reconstruction area has a total of six industrial areas. Although the heavily polluted industrial area on the ground is crucial, it is only one of them. Workers The number is about half a million.

These 500,000 people are divided into day and night shifts. Under normal circumstances, the maximum number of deaths would be about 250,000.

But in fact, Hope City was ravaged by two level eight behemoths not long ago. A large part of the factory area has not been completely restored. In order to rebuild Hope City and resume industrial production as soon as possible, at that time, there were more The workers sacrificed their personal rest time and spontaneously carried out intense reconstruction work at night. The former mayor and another deputy mayor also directed and coordinated at the construction site.

When the disaster struck, these hundreds of thousands of people had no time to hide underground, and were instantly killed by the shock wave caused by the explosion of the anti-matter bomb.

Hope City, which originally had a population of more than three million, has only about 2.4 million people left.

Among these 2.4 million people, there are about 28,000 scientific researchers of various types, accounting for one-eightyth of the total number, and about 40,000 various technical workers with engineer titles, accounting for one-sixtieth of the total number. .

This ratio is much higher than before the end of the world, and this is the result of a considerable part being transferred from Xinjing.

Of course, this is normal. After all, Hope City is a key strategic city in the reconstruction area. In terms of scientific research strength, it is only second to Xinjing. There are already many scientific researchers and engineers, not to mention that the emphasis on and investment in scientific research during peacetime is far less. It cannot be compared to the last days when humans are struggling to survive.

However, although the number of scientific researchers and engineers seems to be large, it is still far from enough to rebuild human civilization. With such a number, let alone development, it would be good if civilization could not regress. If we want to maintain the current level of science and technology of mankind, this number must be multiplied by at least ten.

Fortunately, with the maturity of cloning technology, the population has become part of the factory's production plan, and the number of scientific researchers can also be increased through the cultivation of human clones. As long as there is enough time, this is not a problem.

He pondered slightly, turned his chair, looked at the map of the reconstruction area behind him, and drew circles on the three cities near Hope City.

They are Liming City, Tuanjie City and Shengli City.

Because these three cities are close to Hope City, they were not directly destroyed by anti-matter bombs. There are still a large number of survivors underground. However, the situation in these cities is estimated to be more severe than that of Hope City. If support and rescue are not carried out as soon as possible, the survivors inside He can't last long!

At least we need to investigate the situation in those cities first.

Luo Yuan picked up the intercom phone and said in a deep voice: "Come in!"

As a municipal government, the lines here have naturally been connected as soon as possible.

After a while, a young man with slightly dark skin silently pushed the door open and said respectfully: "Mayor, did you call me?"

His name is Cheng Guanghui, and he was the secretary of the former mayor. Although that person has died, Luo Yuan has not changed his mind. The tactics of ordinary people are meaningless to a being like him who has such great power. He said: "Inform the members of the sword department to come to my place!"

"Yes, mayor, do you have any other orders?" Cheng Guanghui said.

"No, let's do it immediately!" Luo Yuan waved his hand.

Cheng Guanghui immediately left the office quietly, closing the door gently before leaving. As soon as he closed the door, a suppressed excitement appeared on his face.

The Sword Department and the city government have always been two parallel departments, and because this department is quite special, the members inside are all extremely dangerous super evolutionaries. In addition, they often ask for help from others. Every time the city government and the city government They have to be careful in their dealings, lest they offend each other. In more than a year of working as a secretary, he had never seen such plain and extremely domineering words, as if these super evolved people were like subordinates who could be summoned at a moment's notice.

However, for the new mayor who was once the deputy director of the sword department, it seems that the sword players in Hope City are indeed his subordinates.

Luo Yuan waited for half an hour, and the members of the sharp sword department had already arrived one after another, and no one was missing.

Facing Luo Yuan again, these members of the Hope City Sword Department felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

They saw with their own eyes the birth of a legend. In half a year, he was promoted from an ordinary member of the Sword to vice captain, deputy minister, and now he became the mayor of Hope City in one fell swoop. His strength was never far behind theirs. Big, and now looking up at each other, in just half a year, the distance between the two has reached the level of gods and mortals.

They had never seen the scene where Luo Yuan destroyed the aliens in the publicity, but they had seen with their own eyes the scene where the terrifying level 8 mutant beast acted like a docile pet in front of Luo Yuan.

Facing Luo Yuan at this time, both his apprentice Fang Peibin and Lin Feiyan, who had always wanted to break up with Luo Yuan, felt their hearts pounding and extremely nervous, let alone others.

"We are all acquaintances, so don't be restrained and sit down!" Seeing that these people were a little nervous, Luo Yuan's face, which was originally cold due to the current severe situation, couldn't help but squeeze out a smile and said.

Seeing that Luo Yuan's attitude was the same as before, everyone couldn't help but feel slightly relaxed.

"Master... Master, have you really eliminated aliens?" Fang Peibin couldn't help but asked curiously. There were people everywhere promoting it that day, and it was hard for him not to hear it.

When Fang Peibin asked, all the team members, including Lin Feiyan, immediately pricked up their ears. Unfortunately, Luo Yuan had no intention of satisfying their curiosity.

"I won't mention this in advance! After this disaster, the reconstruction area is gone, the current situation has also changed, and the existence of the Sword Department has lost its meaning. I am calling you here this time. I plan to destroy the Sword Department. Disorganize and reorganize the Evolutionaries into the city government, and you will form a special operations team. What do you think? "

In the era of the reconstruction area, in order to appease the super evolutionaries and maintain the stability of the reconstruction area, the Sharp Sword Department received preferential treatment. Whether it was welfare benefits or an astonishing number of logistics service personnel, it was undoubtedly quite luxurious by the standards of the apocalypse.

When he was still a member of the Sword, he would naturally not object. After all, as a vested interest, the butt determines the head. But now and then, after sitting in the position of mayor, the existence of this special department feels... It's a bit dazzling.

Lin Feiyan thought for a moment and understood the other party's purpose. From now on, super evolved people like them will no longer receive much preferential treatment. They may be treated a little higher than ordinary people, but if they want to live as comfortably as before, It was completely impossible. If another person dared to make such a request to her, even if it was the original mayor, she would show him the consequences of overestimating his own capabilities.

However, at this moment, it was Luo Yuan who said this. Facing this man who seemed to be the strongest god in the world, she had no confidence at all. She mumbled and whispered: "I have no objection!"

"what about you?"

"Master, just make your decision, we don't have any objections!" Fang Peibin said with a smile.

"Yes, yes!" Crazy Wang said quickly. He used to be most afraid of Luo Yuan, but now he is even more afraid. If he could, he wouldn't want to stay here for a moment.

"In this case, I will issue the first action order. I just went out to take a look. Now the wind outside has weakened a lot, and it should not have much impact on you. What you have to do now is to rush to Liming City separately. , Tuanjie City and Shengli City, investigate the survivors there and get in touch with the other city government.”
