Luo Yuan let out a sigh of relief as he walked out of the building.
The old man had put a lot of pressure on him. Although he had always been kind and gentle, Luo Yuan had been very nervous all the time. He dared not let his guard down.
He had to admit that the old man was an admirable person. Perhaps he did not have strong martial arts and was even weaker than an ordinary person, but it did not affect his inner strength at all.
He looked at the time. It was already 10: 30 at night. The factories on both sides were still brightly lit. The civil servants who had sent him off earlier had already left, so he could only walk back to the hostel.
Fortunately, his memory was not bad, and the hostel was not far from where he was.
He walked slowly while sorting out his thoughts. The special department recommended by the old man was directly managed by the central government. There was also a branch in Hope City, which usually took in powerful evolved humans.
Luo Yuan guessed that one of the reasons was to recruit these unstable people so that it would be easier to manage them. On the other hand, it was to carry out special missions that the military could not handle.
To him, it was a tailor-made job.
Since the last upgrade, there had been no change for half a year. Especially after entering the Reconstruction Area, except for the last few missions, the upgrade seemed to have stagnated. The experience gained from those two missions was very little, like trying to put out a burning cart of firewood.
Unknowingly, the D-level missions had become tasteless, but it was a pity to abandon them.
Unfortunately, it was not easy to encounter D + level missions or dark green level creatures. Even in the wild, such super creatures were rare, let alone in the reconstruction area.
At least, until now, Luo Yuan had not encountered one.
Other than his good luck, it was also because the information was lagging behind. What he could see and encounter was only the situation near where he was. Beyond that, he could only rely on his luck. However, in the entire reconstruction area, dark green level creatures and even more powerful super creatures were not everywhere, but they were definitely not rare.
...
The next morning, just after Luo Yuan had finished his breakfast, someone came to his door.
"Hello, Mr. Luo. You might not know me yet. I am the Deputy Minister of the Organization Department, Ren Hongyuan. I am here to accompany you." He looked at Luo Yuan and said respectfully.
"Thank you, Minister Ren." Luo Yuan shook hands with him.
"You're too polite!"
Both of them walked out of the hostel and got into the car. Minister Ren explained, "The Firearms Bureau is a special rapid response unit that was established by the Republic. They also have a logistical unit that includes the Air Force. However, there are only 51 official members of this department and they are scattered all over the Reconstruction Area. Hope City has eight of them."
"So I'm the ninth?" Luo Yuan said with a smile, but he was getting serious.
The entire Reconstruction Area had a population of more than 100 million, and there were hundreds of thousands of evolved humans, but there were only 51 of them. Obviously, they were the best of the best. Perhaps he used to be confident that no one could compete with him with the help of the system. However, ever since the rebellion in Desert City, the continuous emergence of powerful people had made him realize what it meant to be a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. When the base number was large enough, even the slightest probability could happen.
Minister Ren replied awkwardly, "To be exact, you're still a reserve member, and you're still under observation. Although Mayor Hu recommended you, the Hope City doesn't have the authority to appoint you directly. Of course, this shouldn't be a problem for Mr. Luo. "
Luo Yuan was shocked and joked, "So I'm still a temporary worker?"
"Erm, these are normal organizational procedures. Even Mayor Hu can't violate them." Minister Ren said nervously. He was relieved when he realized that Luo Yuan was only joking, but his back was drenched in cold sweat.
To ordinary people like him, the people in this mysterious department were superhumans. Even if he was just sitting beside them, he would feel like a year. If he suddenly went crazy, he would not be safe even with the protection of a platoon of soldiers.
…
Luo Yuan thought that the department with only eight people was just a small office building, but he realized how wrong he was when he arrived there.
After driving for half an hour, they passed by a warning sign that said, "Restricted Military Area, No Trespassing". There was a wide wall made of thorns in front of them. After the guard at the entrance checked their IDs, the car slowly drove into the mysterious department.
The entire area covered an area of more than 100 acres. There were two airstrips, five helipads, and three three-story buildings.
The car stopped at the entrance of the middle building. Minister Ren's footsteps were a little hesitant. It was obvious that he was slightly nervous, as if the building in front of him was a dangerous place.
Both of them walked into the building. There were people coming and going, but it did not look deserted at all. Apparently, they were the logistics staff. There was a high proportion of women among them, and most of them were above average.
Luo Yuan took a glance and his pupils suddenly shrank. Someone had suddenly appeared in front of him. Even he did not see clearly how the person had appeared.
"Yo, there's a newcomer." He said with a smile. His face twitched from time to time, and he looked a little nervous.
He looked a little sloppy and slovenly. He wore a singlet on his upper body and a pair of black trousers on his lower body. He wore a pair of slippers on his feet. Coupled with his messy hair and scraggly beard, he looked no better than a beggar.
"Yes, Mr. Wang. Is your team leader around?" Minister Ren said with a smile.
"Haha, unfortunately, the team leader has gone to New Capital City." Luo Yuan felt like he was being stared at by a cold, venomous snake, as he said it loudly, sizing up Luo Yuan with his eyes.
"Where's the deputy team leader?"
"Why are you looking for him? He's out on a mission. It's the same to look for me. Are you looking down on me?" He grinned and kept sniffing around Minister Ren. He looked like he was intoxicated. The logistics staff around him immediately retreated, looking terrified.
Minister Ren could not hold his smile anymore. There were a few times when he wanted to scold him, but he swallowed his words when they reached his throat.
Luo Yuan noticed Minister Ren's awkwardness. He pulled him to stand behind him and stared at him, "Don't cross the line!"
He retreated a few meters as if he was shocked. He looked at Luo Yuan and said with an exaggerated expression, "Yo, pretty boy. Are you trying to stand out? Not everyone can be here to make up the numbers. Come, let me see how good you are."
The commotion had obviously attracted the attention of others. Two more people came down from the stairs. When they saw the scene, they seemed to be interested and stopped to watch.
Luo Yuan retracted his gaze and suddenly smiled, "Oh, are you trying to intimidate me? Why didn't you say so earlier? I like this."
