The sound of gunfire could be heard outside, and the air was filled with smoke. Mayor Wu sat calmly in his seat, reading the document carefully. The information in the document was very rough and too simple. Many aspects were described in an uncertain tone, but in fact, Mayor Wu had read the document several times since it had been faxed in the afternoon. He could even recite every word of it.
Level 5, he was a level 5 evolutionary. Although his secretary was a level 4 evolutionary, there was only one level difference between them. Not to mention the difference in strength, there were tens of thousands of level 4 evolutionaries in the country, while there were only 100 or 200 level 5 evolutionaries. That was enough to show the difference.
Such people were rare, and they were usually in the military, key industrial bases or important mining areas. Not to mention that there were none in Desert City, Mayor Wu had never even seen one.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Mayor, the people are here."
Mayor Wu was delighted when he heard the secretary's voice. He said, "Invite them in."
He tried to be calm, but there was a sense of urgency and nervousness in his voice.
The door opened, and a group of people walked in, followed by the thick smell of gunpowder. The narrow office suddenly became crowded.
"Everyone, you've worked hard. I didn't expect there to be survivors outside. Sit! Sit! Don't stand on ceremony. Xiao Zheng, go and make some tea. "Mayor Wu stood up and said with a smile, but his eyes were quietly looking at the group of people.
He did not know who Luo Yuan was, but he seemed to have some kind of magic, as he noticed him at first glance.
He was tall and handsome, and his skin was smooth and glossy. He gave off a very clean feeling, but he didn't give off the feeling of a pretty boy. Instead, he gave off a faint sense of majesty that made people afraid to offend him.
The office was a little small, but there were still two rows of long wooden stools. Luo Yuan sat down and said, "There's no need for tea. I haven't been drinking it for a long time. Give us some water."
Mayor Wu readily accepted the advice. "Boiled water is better. The tea leaves now can't taste the same as tea."
The water was served quickly. Luo Yuan took the teacup, took a sip, and finished it in one gulp.
Mayor Wu's eyebrows twitched. This was water that had just been boiled not long ago.
Luo Yuan put the teacup on the coffee table and said, "Let's skip the formalities. There's something I don't understand. Mayor, you must be very busy, especially at a time like this. Why did you call us here so late at night? I don't think every survivor gets this kind of treatment, right? "
Luo Yuan had guessed it before, but the best way to find out was to ask her directly. The stronger he became, the more inclined he was to deal with Dao-Seeking directly.
His voice was neither fast nor slow, gentle and pleasing to the ear, but it gave off an inexplicable pressure. Mayor Wu's heart tightened, and a thin layer of sweat unknowingly appeared on his forehead. He quickly said, "Of course not. Mr. Luo is very powerful. As soon as you came in, the higher-ups were already paying attention to you. You have to know that this is a heavily monitored area. There are drones in the sky all the time. Before you came, I had already received the news. "
"I see!" Luo Yuan was not surprised about this. As soon as he entered the Reconstruction Area, he saw many drones flying in the sky. However, he felt slightly uncomfortable. It did not feel good to be monitored.
During this time, the sound of cannons had not stopped, and there were also cries and screams. One of them was only about a kilometer away from where he was. It was so loud that even the ground was shaking.
Mayor Wu finally could not hold it in anymore. He begged, "You know the situation outside. On behalf of the Desert City, I would like to ask for Mr. Luo's help!"
"Call me Luo Yuan. Although I would like to help, I'm afraid I can't." Luo Yuan sighed and shook his head, "There are cannons everywhere. I can't take the risk, unless you withdraw the army."
Mayor Wu's expression changed, "This …"
There were cannons everywhere on the battlefield. It was indeed a bit difficult for him to enter such a battlefield. Moreover, he was just a civilian and a survivor who had just arrived. He did not have the consciousness of sacrificing himself.
If he were to withdraw the army, it would definitely be a huge risk. If anything went wrong, his position as the mayor would be gone.
He was hesitant and could not make up his mind. He paced back and forth, his expression changing rapidly.
At this time, the secretary quickly came over and said a few words to him.
Mayor Wu hesitated for a long time before he asked Luo Yuan, "Mr. Luo, you will have to bear the political responsibility if you can ensure that the sandworms are killed."
"How can you be like this? Brother Luo is the one who asked for help. Are you asking him to take responsibility if things don't work out? Officials really know how to shirk their responsibilities." Wang Shishi said angrily before Luo Yuan could speak.
The others looked upset too.
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to make sure. Of course, I won't let Mr. Luo take responsibility. " Mayor Wu looked slightly embarrassed. As a politician, he was used to saying such things.
"It's okay. I've killed a few before I came here. It should be no problem!" Luo Yuan said calmly.
"Alright, alright, I'll make the call now." Mayor Wu said emotionally. He then took out his phone and made a call.
… …
"What? There's an order from above to evacuate? Isn't this nonsense?" a soldier said angrily. His face was black from the smoke.
"This is an order. We have to evacuate immediately. All weapons are to stop firing." An officer looked at the time and said, "Someone will take over here soon."
"Which troop is coming?" Another soldier asked. "Isn't this stealing food? If it wasn't for the fact that heavy artillery is not allowed, these damn sandworms would have been killed long ago."
"You talk too much. Move faster, don't dawdle."
The artillery fire in the area soon stopped.
Just as the soldiers were gradually retreating, a shadow suddenly flew past them. The soldier at the edge felt a strong wind blowing, but when he turned to look, he saw nothing.
"Did you see someone running past?" the soldier asked as if he had seen a ghost.
"You must have been rubbing your eyes too much!" a soldier joked.
"Shut up, that's an evolved person." The officer knew more, and he knew that a powerful evolver would be coming. He was curious about what kind of evolver it would be for the higher-ups to send such a message. He did not expect that before he could see it clearly, the person had already disappeared into the darkness.
Just as he thought about it, a shrill scream was heard from not far away, "So fast?"
The next moment, a pile of ruins in front of them was smashed open. Countless rubbish flew everywhere, and the officer realized that the entire sandworm had been split in half.
The sandworm had been fighting with humans for a long time, so it had a certain level of experience with how humans attacked. The sandworm had been hiding in the ruins of the buildings, using a large number of wooden planks as cover, swaggering around and devouring the corpses. The small artillery in their hands did not cause much damage, so it was not injured even after attacking for a long time.
He didn't expect that the sandworm would be severely injured as soon as the evolved human arrived.
What happened next left everyone dumbfounded and shocked.
They saw a blurry shadow flashing in the darkness, making it impossible for them to see it clearly. The sandworm that was originally in two quickly split into four, four into eight … Countless pieces of flesh fell, turning into a pile of minced meat.
The figure stopped and glanced over, then quickly disappeared on the spot.
"I … I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"Go on and be a ghost!"
…
The officer turned on his headset, and his voice was slightly trembling. "The evolved person … just came, and the sandworms in area A2 have been dealt with!"
