The next day, Commander Xia and a few soldiers left in a hurry. Since they had not been contacted for a long time, they had to go to New Capital City to complete the paperwork again.
On the third day, Huo Dong and Lin Xiaoji received a recruitment notice from the army. Huo Dong went to the nearest garrison. Before the apocalypse, he was just a small businessman. Under the current circumstances, other than being a handyman in a factory, he could only join the army, regardless of whether he agreed or not.
Lin Xiaoji, on the other hand, was assigned to the 12th Military Region at the frontline because he was an evolved human. When he left, he was stunned and surprised. Perhaps he did not expect to be assigned there. The frontline was not like the garrison. It was much more dangerous and tough.
According to his understanding, since he had arrived at the Reconstruction Area, he should be able to find a stable and well-paid job with his evolved human identity. He would not have to take risks and he would not have to follow anyone's orders. He did not expect this to be the case.
Before he left, he looked at Luo Yuan, hoping that Luo Yuan would put in a good word for him. He knew that with Luo Yuan's importance to him, the result could be changed immediately. But in the end, he did not say anything. His strong pride did not allow him to bow down to anyone, even if that person had saved his life.
On the fourth day, Huang Jiahui and the others were assigned jobs.
Huang Jiahui returned to her old profession, but she was directly promoted to the director of the nearby police station. Zhao Yali was assigned to the finance department, and Mu Wenwen to the second weapon company in Desert City. Besides that, Chen Jiayi and the other two children were sent to a local school because they were underage. Wang Shishi was originally one of them, but no matter how much Luo Yuan tried to persuade her, she did not want to go.
After going through so many things, she was no longer in the mood to study like she used to. Moreover, even in the past, she was not the type to study hard. Plus, Luo Yuan had asked her to stay, so she became an unemployed person like Luo Yuan.
As the days passed, Luo Yuan spent most of his time training. Other than that, he basically had nothing to do. His job assignment had not been announced, but there was an endless stream of people visiting him.
Almost all the main leaders of the city were there. In the beginning, Luo Yuan was still polite and patient in dealing with them. However, he was gradually getting annoyed. He tried to use his Will to hint at them and found that the effect was good. Under his intentional guidance, these people gradually became afraid of him. After that, the number of people who came to see him decreased.
Although Huang Jiahui had been assigned a house, she still stayed there. The others would occasionally come over for small gatherings, but Zhao Yali had never been there. She was shy, so she would never look for Luo Yuan alone.
However, Luo Yuan was already familiar with the house she was assigned. Although Zhao Yali was shy and angry every time, Luo Yuan still got what he wanted in the end. Perhaps she was conflicted.
The peaceful life was addictive. There were a few times when he almost thought that he had returned to the time before the apocalypse.
However, the occasional sound of cannons in the distance and the faint smell of gunpowder in the air made him understand that this was just an illusion to comfort himself. This was not a peaceful world. War was the main theme here.
A large number of humans were being slaughtered every moment, and countless amounts of blood stained the sand every moment.
Therefore, although life was peaceful, he did not slack off for a moment in his training.
Other than taking out a lot of time to practice his knife skills, he did not stop using his Will to train his body. During this period of time, his body had gradually shown the benefits of his Will training his body.
It was an indescribable feeling. If he had to describe it, he would say that his body used to feel like it was covered with a thick layer of cotton, which made him feel unusually heavy and inflexible. However, the layer of cotton was getting thinner, and his body was getting lighter and more agile.
Recently, his appetite had been increasing. Previously, he would not feel hungry even if he did not eat for a day, but now he had to eat a lot of food every day. If it were not for the fact that he still had some high-grade food in reserve, his savings and Huang Jiahui's salary would not have been enough.
This strange situation did not make Luo Yuan feel uneasy, because he found that as his appetite increased, so did his physical attributes. Although it was not shown on the attributes panel, he could still feel it clearly.
For example, he used to be able to jump six to seven meters high, but he could not jump directly to the rooftop of the villa. Now, he could barely jump up, and he could slowly move giant rocks that he had previously felt like he could not move.
This kind of growth was comprehensive, and besides the mysterious attributes of Sense and Will, all other attributes had a certain growth. Sometimes, he felt like he was a growing sapling, and his body was undergoing some kind of inexplicable transformation.
Perhaps it was the strengthening of his Will, and under the pressure of the harsh environment, his body had subconsciously promoted a beneficial and benign evolution.
He did not know how long this transformation would last, and to what extent his attributes would be enhanced, but no matter what, it was exciting and exciting, and his mood had improved a lot.
… …
The fully enclosed subway gradually came to a stop, and Xia Qiang walked out of the station.
He looked a little tired, excited, and uneasy. He had just finished the paperwork from New Capital City, and had rushed back to Lanhui City during his short vacation. Looking at the familiar city, he realized that it was now a little unfamiliar.
It had been a year since he left the city, and there were many more factories and chimneys. Everything had changed beyond recognition. All of this made him a little fearful.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He dared to go home. There were no public buses in the market, so he had to walk. He walked quickly, but as he got closer to home, his footsteps gradually became heavier.
He had learned from the political department of the 19th Military Region that the death report had already been sent to the family. He had been missing for nearly half a year, and perhaps his beautiful wife had already accepted his death, and his young children might have become unfamiliar with him.
They might even have started a new life.
When he thought of this, his heart was filled with indescribable emotions.
Forget it, no matter what, he had to take a look. If … then he would bless her. It was not her fault, it was this damned world.
He took out his newly bought cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. Then, he put it out with his hand. He quickly walked back to the neighborhood where his house was.
The neighborhood was empty, and there was not a single person. He had long gotten used to it. The environment of the apocalypse did not allow any idlers without a job. Even the elderly had to sit down and work as much as they could.
For some reason, he felt a lot more relaxed. He quickened his pace and walked back to his house.
The door was tightly shut. He removed the key from his neck. Ever since the plane crash, he had been wearing some important things around his neck to prevent them from being lost.
He inserted the key into the keyhole, and with a gentle twist, the door opened!
He suddenly froze, and his expression was a little dazed. He stood there for a while, then walked into the living room. The house was clean and tidy. Nothing had changed, but there were still some changes. However, the wedding photo on the wall was still there.
In the photo, his smile was stiff, and his wife was smiling like a flower.
