Looking at his expression, Mayor Wu knew that he had not taken his words to heart. He might not even have informed the sentries below.
However, he did not say anything, as he was used to it. He just nodded and said, "Go and come back soon!"
When the secretary left the office expressionlessly, Mayor Wu revealed a bitter smile.
Evolved humans were a special group. They were strong and rebellious. No matter how hard they tried to hide it, they would always look down on ordinary people. Some radical evolved humans even thought that they were superior to humans, that they were the chosen path of evolution, that they were the saviors of the apocalypse, and that ordinary people did not deserve to lead them.
On the surface, the people in the Reconstruction Area seemed to be united and united. However, there were many conflicts in the Reconstruction Area. If it wasn't for the fact that they were facing a great enemy, a war between the evolved humans and the ordinary humans would have already started.
...
The sound of the cannons in the distance sounded like thunder, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
"Luo Yuan, don't go, it's too dangerous," Huang Jiahui said when she saw Luo Yuan's grip on the handle of his sword.
"They didn't let us enter the city just now. Why should we care about them now?" Wang Shishi said matter-of-factly.
Commander Xia listened for a while. His hearing was not as good as Luo Yuan's, but he could roughly analyze the situation based on the density of the cannons and the sound of the explosions. "It should be fine. This kind of attack can't do anything to the heavily defended frontline city. Judging from the sound of the cannons, they are only using some small cannons. The heavy cannons have not been used yet. "
If they were to use the heavy cannons, there would be a lot of casualties. Commander Xia thought to himself, but his face was unusually calm. A soldier like him had seen many deaths. Unless it was a close comrade, the lives of strangers were just numbers in his eyes.
Luo Yuan sighed and let go of the handle of his sword. This was not the wilderness he was familiar with, but a real battlefield.
Bullets were as dense as rain, and the whistling of the cannons. If he rushed in, he would not be able to escape. After all, no matter how strong he was, his body was still made of flesh and blood. His 14-point Physique could block ordinary pistol bullets, but it could not block the special rifle bullets that had been modified after the apocalypse, let alone the cannons.
It was too dangerous to enter the battlefield without careful consideration.
All of them looked serious as they quietly listened to the sound of the cannons from afar. No one would have thought that they would witness a mutated beast attack the moment they arrived at the Reconstruction Area.
At this moment, the door let out a heavy groan and slowly opened.
Everyone was stunned and quickly looked towards the door. Soon, a young soldier ran over and asked, "Is there someone called Luo Yuan here?"
"I am! What is it? " Luo Yuan did not stand up. He glanced at him and said calmly. Although he could understand why he had been rejected, it was impossible for him to be nice now.
For some reason, the young soldier suddenly felt a little nervous. His heart was pounding like a drum. He quickly said, "You can come in now. Someone wants to see you."
"You're the one who didn't let us in, but you're the one who let us in. Didn't you say that we should go through the quarantine first?" Wang Shishi said with dissatisfaction.
When the young soldier, who had a solemn expression before, saw this beautiful girl, he immediately averted his gaze. It was as if he had seen a ferocious beast. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
"Shishi, don't make things difficult for this soldier. Since we can enter, let's go in," Luo Yuan said. Although he still had some doubts, he knew that it was useless to ask the soldier. He would understand when he reached the place.
Wang Shishi was just venting her anger. After hearing Luo Yuan's words, she did not say anything.
"Oh, right. What about the battle beasts? Can they enter the city?" Luo Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked.
"I'm … I'm sorry. We have a rule that battle beasts can only be kept in a specific area." The soldier mustered up his courage and said.
"There are cannons everywhere. Won't they be killed by mistake?" Luo Yuan asked. These two battle beasts had been following them since the apocalypse, especially the giant lizard. Without it, they would not have been able to reach the Reconstruction Area. It would be a pity if they were killed by mistake.
"No, as long as they pass the domestication test, we will mark them and implant an identification chip. They will be protected by the law. You only need to pay a monthly fee."
Luo Yuan nodded. The city was indeed not a suitable place for giant beasts to enter. There were too many people there. Even if the tamed giant beasts did not hurt people on their own, they could still accidentally hurt people.
As for the cost, he was not worried at all. Based on the value that could be created, money was just a number to a powerful evolved being like him.
Luo Yuan asked the giant lizard and King Kong to stay where they were and followed the soldier into the gate. A middle-aged man in a suit greeted them. It was his secretary.
There was a hint of respect on his face as he bowed slightly. Even when he was facing Mayor Wu, he had never been so respectful. In his eyes, Luo Yuan's body was exuding a scorching radiance. As he got closer, he felt like he was about to burn.
He quickly looked down and did not dare to look at Luo Yuan.
His evolved ability was very mysterious and strange. He could see through a person's aura, affect it and even extinguish it. If an ordinary person's aura was as weak as a candle, Luo Yuan's aura was like a small sun.
Other than some powerful mutated beasts, he had never seen anyone with such a strong aura. Even the level five evolved person he had met before could not compare to Luo Yuan's aura. It was like comparing a scorching sun to a bright moon.
Before Luo Yuan could say anything, he immediately said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Luo. The mayor wants to see you."
Luo Yuan was surprised. He thought for a while and vaguely guessed something. He said, "Please lead the way."
If he had been invited by such a big shot in the past, he would have been either overwhelmed or uneasy. But now, he didn't feel anything at all. All he had was a calm expression on his face.
Not only Luo Yuan, but even Huo Dong and the rest were only a little emotional. After struggling for a long time in the cruel apocalypse, the influence of rules had faded in their hearts. They could no longer respect power like they did during peacetime.
The secretary did not care at all. Instead, he looked like it was a matter of course. He then lowered his head and quickly led the way.
Desert City was very small. It was probably the size of a small town before the apocalypse. The houses on both sides were low. Most of them were two or three story wooden buildings. Luo Yuan did not see many windows along the way.
The road was full of potholes, garbage and mud. Some places had even collapsed. Other than the main road, which had been repaired with cement, most of the buildings nearby had collapsed.
It was originally a desert, so the foundation was not stable. Moreover, when the city was being built, it was impossible to be meticulous. The foundation was very shallow, so it was normal for it to collapse.
On the way, they passed through an industrial area that was heavily guarded. Under the moonlight, a large number of cannons and armored vehicles were emitting a cold luster on the roads. Even when the sandworms invaded, these armed forces did not move an inch.
There was almost no light in the entire industrial area. Only the light that leaked through the gaps of the doors and the dull roar of the machines indicated that the factories were working day and night.
After walking for about ten minutes, Luo Yuan and the rest walked into a three-story building.
