Division Commander Liu returned to his room. The short walk of 100 meters seemed to have exhausted all his energy. He sat on the bed and took out a cigarette. He took out a lighter and lit it a few times with trembling hands. Finally, he lit the cigarette. He took a deep puff and swallowed all the pungent smoke of the mutated tobacco into his lungs. He suddenly felt a little dizzy. After a while, he came back to his senses.
He suddenly felt a little cold. Only then did he notice that he was wet all over, including his underwear.
As one of the main decision-makers in Desert City, his living conditions were naturally much better than others. The whole room was spacious and bright, with all the necessary electrical appliances and furniture. His living conditions were no worse than a three-star hotel before the apocalypse.
However, such a comfortable environment did not give him a sense of security at all. He even hated the logistics department for arranging a single room like this for him. Even if it was a crowded eight-person dormitory, it would still be a hundred times better than this cold and deserted place.
When he thought of the evolved man named Luo Yuan's murderous eyes a few minutes ago, he felt a chill run down his spine.
It was an endless fear, a hopeless and suffocating fear. He had never been so close to death before. Even now, when he thought about it, his heart still palpitated.
He did not doubt that the evolved man had the ability to do all this. As long as the evolved man wanted to, he could kill him like a chicken, even if he was heavily protected by the army.
Moreover, he was here.
Most of his army was on duty at the first level of the shelter. There were no other people there except for two guards. The two guards could not even be a hindrance to the evolved man.
What if he came to kill him today?
Thinking of this, Luo Yuan's ferocious image seemed to be magnified in his mind. Division Commander Liu's body began to tremble uncontrollably. He struggled to stand up. Despair and fear filled his heart. He paced back and forth on the spot like a stray dog.
His face alternated between ferocious and fearful, but the fear in his heart was the absolute upper hand.
It was not until the next morning when the guards knocked on the door and brought breakfast that he suddenly realized that the night had passed.
He was still alive, no, perhaps only temporarily.
He waved his hand to dismiss the guards. Looking at the cigarette butts all over the floor, he rubbed his face, which had become a little stiff from not sleeping for the whole night. His eyes were bloodshot. "Before he makes a move, I must repair the previous bad relationship as soon as possible. It would be best to transfer him away as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Xiao Hu, call Huo Dong from the logistics department over!"
Then, he looked at the cigarette butts on the floor and frowned. "Wait, arrange for someone to clean up the room."
…
Compared to Division Leader Liu, who had not slept the whole night, Luo Yuan was not affected at all. He woke up early in the morning according to his biological clock.
He didn't immediately get up to exercise like he usually did. Other than the resource warehouse, there were only corridors on the second underground level of the sanctuary. As for the room, it was even narrower. Other than the beds on both sides, there was only a one-meter-wide passageway. He could not move freely at all. He just used his Will to train his body on the bed and was too lazy to get out of bed to train.
At this moment, he touched his front teeth and suddenly revealed a bitter smile.
His front teeth, which were originally strong enough to bite through the bones of ordinary mutated beasts, had started to shake and was ready to go on strike these days. Not only his front teeth, but his other teeth were also gradually showing signs of going on strike. Only his front teeth had started first, and it was getting harder and harder to hold on.
"How could this happen? Do I have to pull it out?" Luo Yuan felt helpless. Whenever he thought about opening his mouth, people would find out that he was missing a front tooth. His image would be ruined, and he would lose face. Even Wang Shishi would laugh her head off!
As for why his teeth were loose, he was not worried at all. He had always used his Will to scan his body, so he had a thorough understanding of the human body. Of course, he knew what the reason was. It was not a big deal. It was just that his teeth were growing out.
Normally, a person could grow teeth twice in their lifetime. Once at birth, and again when they were about 10 years old. However, it had happened to him for the third time.
Suddenly, Luo Yuan thought of a phrase, "rebirth". It seemed to fit the situation he was experiencing.
Ever since he had entered the stage of transformation, his body had undergone mysterious changes. However, his attributes had been strengthened by the system, so the effects were not obvious. Even so, his Strength had increased by about 60% to 70%, his Agility had increased by 20%, and his Physique had increased by 30%. His Intelligence could not be estimated, so he could not do anything about it. However, he could clearly feel that his mind had become sharper during this period. When he encountered a problem, he could directly analyze the core of it and roughly analyze it.
Although none of these attributes had increased by a lot, and almost none of them had doubled, combat power was not calculated in this way. Based on Luo Yuan's understanding of the system, combat power was more or less the product of all the attributes (of course, the coefficients in front of the attributes varied. For example, the coefficient in front of the Agility was greater than the product in Strength). With his current strength, he could easily kill the Luo Yuan from a month ago, or even more if he was surrounded by three Luo Yuan.
…
Luo Yuan hesitated for a while. In order not to affect his image, he finally decided to keep his front teeth and wait for the day they fell out naturally. Judging by the growth rate of new teeth, they should fall out within a few days.
By then, the others had already woken up. Luo Yuan did not want to lie down anymore. Since he was a man and a woman living together, he did not take off his clothes. He lifted the blanket and jumped out of the upper berth.
Just as he finished washing up, Huo Dong arrived. He called out to Luo Yuan with a strange look on his face. He took out a thick stack of food stamps from his pocket and said awkwardly, "Boss Luo, this is Commander Liu's apology. He asked me to tell you that it was all a misunderstanding. He hopes that you can forgive him."
Luo Yuan thought that his hint yesterday had worked well. The thick stack of food stamps had to be worth about 10,000 yuan. Seeing how easily Huo Dong had taken out such a huge sum of money, Luo Yuan did not suspect that Huo Dong was corrupt. The commander of the guard division, who owned part of the mutated beast meat trading rights, would be stupid to embezzle such a small amount of money.
In today's world, even a third-line troop like the guard division would have to fight a lot. Sometimes, they would even go to the outskirts for actual combat training. Each time, they would get a lot of mutated beasts. Although it could not be compared to the frontline troops, it was definitely a lot more than ordinary people. Luo Yuan took it without any pressure. He took it as robbing the rich to help the poor. He smiled and said, "Tell Commander Liu that everything depends on the future!"
"Alright, Boss Luo. How did you do it? I saw that he was so scared last night that he did not sleep at all. His eyes were as red as a rabbit's, "Huo Dong could not help but ask curiously.
Huo Dong's tone had no respect for their commander. Of course, it could also be that he was deliberately showing off in front of Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan looked at him meaningfully and said, "If you want to try it, I can tell you."
Hint could distort people's thoughts and make them act according to their will. Such an ability was enough to cause fear in anyone. Of course, Luo Yuan would not tell anyone.
"No, I don't want to." Huo Dong was scared and quickly shook his head. Boss Luo was getting more and more mysterious. God knows what other scary abilities he had.
Zhao Yali pulled Luo Yuan over and whispered, "Xiao Yuan, it's not good to take the money. I don't feel safe. You should return it."
Looking at her pale face, it was obvious that she did not sleep well last night. Luo Yuan patted her. Before he could say anything, Huo Dong said, "Sister Zhao, please don't make it difficult for me. If I don't complete this mission, I won't be able to live a good life in the future."
Huang Jiahui smiled and did not say anything. She was not as weak as Zhao Yali, nor was she inexperienced. She did not think that it was a big deal to offend Commander Liu. Besides, she believed that Luo Yuan could handle everything. In the worst case scenario, she could just leave the reconstruction area and wander around with him. Anyway, that was how she used to be.
"Don't worry, Sister Yali. If I don't take the money, he will be worried. It will be troublesome if he gets desperate," Luo Yuan explained.
"Yeah! Yali, it's okay. Don't worry about it. "Huang Jiahui also comforted her.
Since Huang Jiahui said it was okay, Zhao Yali could only temporarily relax. She then said to Huo Dong, "Since you're here, let's have breakfast together."
"Don't! I have to hurry up and report to Commander Liu. He's still waiting for me. "Huo Dong waved his hand and smiled bitterly. They chatted for a while more and soon left in a hurry.
At that moment, Luo Yuan's sharp senses felt a slight tremor on the ground, followed by a muffled sound.
The sound was muffled and heavy, like rolling thunder in the sky. For those who had experienced the apocalypse, it was hard to forget once they heard it.
"Heavy artillery, it's heavy artillery. It looks like the insect swarm has broken through the outer defense circle!" Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
