For the next few days, Luo Yuan would go to the Gobi Desert to practice the Earth Fountain before the sun rose. He would return to the Gobi Desert as soon as the sun rose, regardless of the weather.
At his level, ordinary people would not be able to capture the battle with their naked eyes. The battle time was measured in seconds. Usually, a battle of life and death would end in a few seconds, or even less than a second.
In a high-speed battle, there would be no time for one to prepare his ultimate skill. In order to use the Earth Fountain in such a short battle, he had to train it to the point where he did not need to think before he used it. He had to train it to the point where it was as simple as swinging a knife. This would require thousands or even tens of thousands of repetitive practice.
For the rest of the time, Luo Yuan stayed at home with his family.
He did not know when he would be back. Perhaps he would not be able to see his family again. He had been away from the wilderness for too long, to the point that he did not know what had happened outside.
Ever since he came to the Reconstruction Area, Luo Yuan had only been to the wilderness near the Reconstruction Area a few times. The furthest he had traveled was only about 500 to 600 kilometers. Strictly speaking, this distance was still within the Reconstruction Area's sphere of influence. Some of the high-risk super lifeforms in this area had been recorded and their every movement was closely monitored.
Even the "dragon" that he had discovered last time was also in the records.
After all, the number of nuclear bombs in the Reconstruction Area was limited. They could only be used for defense but not for attack. In fact, as long as they did not pose a threat to the Reconstruction Area, they would let them do whatever they wanted. However, these super lifeforms had extraordinary intelligence. After witnessing the destructive power of the nuclear bombs, they would not take the initiative to provoke them.
However, the mission this time was far away. It was almost half of the Earth. The distance by land alone was about 2,000 to 3,000 kilometers, and that was only in a straight line.
In the wilderness that had fallen not long after the apocalypse, he did not know how much danger he would encounter. He was not afraid of ordinary mutated beasts that were level seven or below, but he was most afraid of the super lifeforms that were beyond his imagination.
Of course, this did not include the most dangerous extraterrestrial civilization when he arrived at his destination.
Although he had been talking and laughing freely in front of his family, he was actually under a lot of pressure.
...
Fifteen days had passed. Luo Yuan had just returned from the Gobi Desert. The staff, who was usually sleeping at this time, had already washed up and was sitting on the sofa.
"General Luo, the higher-ups asked me to inform you that the new training is here."
Luo Yuan nodded and said calmly, "Please lead the way!"
The clerk, Wang Jing, had become very close to Huang Jiahui and the other two women. Even Wang Shishi had fallen for her. Every day, they would go shopping together, go shopping together, and they were as close as sisters.
However, under Luo Yuan's deliberate efforts, their relationship did not improve at all. They were practically strangers.
…
As the two of them walked on the underground street, Wang Jing looked at Luo Yuan's jade-like face. She suddenly lowered her head and whispered, "Do you hate me?"
"Not really!" Luo Yuan said calmly. His footsteps were neither fast nor slow, as if he had measured them with a ruler.
"Or did I do something wrong?" Wang Jing asked again.
"To you, this is just a job. It's not really a job, right?" Luo Yuan asked.
Wang Jing knitted her brows, feeling a sense of defeat in her heart. According to the information in the file, this person was extremely lecherous. In fact, it was true. Just by looking at the three women in his house, one could tell a thing or two. But when she faced him in person, she realized that this person was simply impervious to everything.
Could it be that he doesn't like women like me anymore? Wang Jing pondered in her heart.
However, should she report this to the higher-ups?
There was a moment of silence. Wang Jing did not speak again, and Luo Yuan was happy with the silence.
Soon, the two of them went down to the 11th floor. The soldiers at the entrance checked their IDs and immediately let them in.
This floor was the agricultural cultivation area, which was the main source of food for Hope City. It was very important, so there was a team of soldiers stationed there to protect the safety of the area.
The agricultural cultivation area was brightly lit, and under the endless incandescent lights, there were all kinds of lush plants. Basically, it was soilless cultivation. While it was clean and efficient, it also prevented the breeding of mutated creatures in the soil, which could cause hidden dangers.
Under the influence of the environment during the apocalypse, the plants grew very well. There was no need to deliberately cultivate them. A seedling could be harvested in 10 days and sent to the market.
The area in front of Luo Yuan was basically filled with all kinds of vegetables.
These vegetables were completely different from the vegetables that were commonly used before the apocalypse. Other than some of the mutated vegetables, some of them were newly discovered species. Every single plant was huge, like a giant.
After walking for a few hundred meters, they had changed to a plant that looked like a tuber.
The leaves of this plant were as small as grass, but the tuber was the size of a tangerine. The tuber was full of starch and was called glutinous potato powder. Luo Yuan had eaten many of them before. They had a soft and delicate texture. Whether it was made into steamed buns or flatbread, it was very fragrant. However, it was also very expensive. The welfare of the Firearms Bureau provided this starch.
There was a large field of cacti in front of them, and their huge bodies almost reached the rock wall that was nearly 11 or 12 meters high. But in fact, such a size of cacti could only be regarded as a juvenile, and could not be compared to the mature cacti in the wild that were hundreds of meters high like a hill.
The starch that was ground from the cacti was the staple food of most people in the reconstruction area. The entire floor was mostly planted with this kind of mutated plant.
When they were halfway there, a man in a major's uniform came up to them with a lead box.
Both of them handed over their mobile phones and other electronic devices and put them in the lead box. The soldier used the device to check again, saluted and said, "Major Luo, this way please!"
Luo Yuan nodded and followed the soldier. After walking for a few hundred meters, there was a huge military tent in front of them.
"Major Luo, please come in." The soldier stood at the entrance of the tent and said.
Luo Yuan glanced around and saw that the place was heavily guarded. There was a platoon of soldiers stationed near the tent. He looked away and did not think too much about it. This mission was very important and it was very confidential. These were all necessary measures.
Moreover, Luo Yuan had two seconds of prediction time. If there was any conspiracy, he was not afraid at all.
Luo Yuan and Wang Jing walked into the tent one after another. At first glance, they saw a model of a mountain in the center of the tent. The model was about 20 meters long and 17 to 18 meters wide. At the center of the tent was the model of the extraterrestrial civilization.
There were many soldiers around and they were having a heated discussion.
Apparently, the model was made from satellite photos. The trees that blocked their view had been removed, revealing the original terrain.
"Major Luo, you're here. We've been waiting for you. I'm Yu Zhen from the Extraterrestrial Warfare Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff Department. Let me explain to you."
The 125 Intelligence Bureau!
Luo Yuan's mind was sharp and his memory was amazing. After thinking for a while, he understood that the 125 was obviously referring to the nuclear fusion device explosion on the 5th of December last year. Luo Yuan snapped back to reality and said, "Thank you!"
