The next day, Luo Yuan went to the Firearms Bureau as a farewell.
When he appeared in the Firearms Bureau, everyone was slightly surprised.
Due to the need to keep it a secret, other than Chen Xinjie, the rest of them knew nothing about Luo Yuan's disappearance. Some of them even had bad guesses. If it was not for the obituary, many of them would have thought that the vice-captain had passed away.
At noon, a few of them, including Chen Xinjie, had lunch together. During lunch, Li Dong could not help but ask Luo Yuan where he had been for the past few days. Luo Yuan only smiled and did not explain. Not only was it a matter of confidentiality, but knowing too much was also a huge pressure.
Sometimes, ignorance was bliss. The more you knew, the more despair you would get.
When they left after lunch, Luo Yuan took the initiative to walk to Chen Xinjie. Everyone immediately said their goodbyes and left, leaving the two of them alone.
"I might have to leave!" Luo Yuan said after a moment of silence.
"When?" Chen Xinjie bit her lips and said.
"Very soon, to the New Capital City!" Luo Yuan said.
"Will you come back in the future?" Chen Xinjie asked. She had mixed feelings.
Her feelings for Luo Yuan were complicated. Seducing Luo Yuan was the mission of the organization, but after spending so much time with him, she had fallen for him and could not extricate herself. His strong, inhuman body seemed to exude a kind of evil magic that made people fall for him. He was born to seduce women.
"Of course, I will. After all, my home is here. Moreover, the New Capital City is not far from Hope City." Luo Yuan thought about it and said. The fog in the New Capital City was thicker than here and it was not suitable for living. With his current flying speed, he could return in half an hour.
"But, I hope that you can come with me." Luo Yuan then told her his purpose, "I will think of a way to transfer you there."
Chen Xinjie's eyes were blurred. She bit her teeth and hesitated. Suddenly, she shook her head and said, "This is not a good idea. After all, I have a family."
Screw your family!
Luo Yuan thought to himself and looked at her. He had forgotten that Chen Xinjie did not know that he knew the truth.
"We will talk about it when the time comes. Think about it!" Luo Yuan did not force her. After all, she would definitely come when the time comes.
...
In the afternoon, Luo Yuan received a call.
He immediately ended his vacation and rushed to New Capital City.
During the two days that Luo Yuan was resting, with the arrival of the intelligent robots and the aliens, the reconstruction area seemed peaceful on the surface but in fact, there was an undercurrent of turbulence. Heavy trucks carrying the most advanced industrial machinery and all kinds of sophisticated scientific instruments were being transported into the mountain through the underground tunnel that was hundreds of meters long.
At the same time, a large number of research institutions suspended their own research projects. Tens of thousands of scientists and engineers were sent to the secret base in the mountain to start reverse engineering.
Once the country's will was truly exerted, it would be able to topple mountains and overturn seas, and even the stars would shift.
When Luo Yuan flew to the outskirts of New Capital City, he could see that there were fewer chimneys in New Capital City. A factory had been closed due to the removal of machinery.
He quickly descended from the sky and walked into the New Capital City from the outskirts. The security here was much tighter than Hope City. When he was about ten kilometers away from the New Capital City, he could already feel the anti-air rapid-fire cannons on the outskirts aiming at him.
When he entered the entrance of New Capital City, a group of soldiers quickly surrounded him. They looked unfriendly and aimed their guns at him.
Luo Yuan knew that he was in the wrong but he was not angry. He took out his identification from his pocket and a captain looked at it. He immediately saluted and let him in.
...
After making the phone call, Wang Jing from the high committee office came to pick him up. Luo Yuan told her about what had happened on the way.
"You should apply for an anti-air identification code so that this would not happen. However, it's better not to fly in New Capital City. It's not good for the civilians." Wang Jing said. Her voice was hoarse and she looked tired. There seemed to be a lingering haze on her face. Apparently, the matter with the aliens had put a lot of pressure on her and she almost collapsed. She did not sleep well for the past few days. Every time she closed her eyes, she would be awakened by nightmares.
Luo Yuan nodded. There was always a gap between evolved people and ordinary people. It was a difference in the level of life. Ordinary people's impression of evolved people was not just simple admiration, but also fear and even hatred.
...
Soon, both of them entered the underground city. After passing through the maze-like tunnel, they walked into the 125th Intelligence Bureau which was directly under the high committee office. It was unusually busy inside. There was an endless flow of people. They were in a hurry and the atmosphere was quiet and unusually depressing.
It was quiet because there were no electronic devices. There were no telephones or mobile phones. Even the sound of a printer could not be heard. Everyone was speaking in a low voice. The only sounds that could be heard were the footsteps of the intelligence personnel and the rustling sound of pen tips rubbing against paper.
"We meet again. I'm Yu Zhen, the staff officer of the 125th Intelligence Bureau. Lieutenant General Luo, I'm very sorry to disturb your rest!" A major general smiled and shook hands with Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan had met him once before he left for Borneo.
"It's all for the survival of mankind. It's not a disturbance!" Luo Yuan said with a smile.
Both of them walked into the meeting room. There were quite a number of people in the room, all of whom were intelligence personnel. A few of them stood up and saluted. After everyone had taken their seats, Luo Yuan asked in a serious tone, "Why have you called me here?"
"About the alien that you sent here, we've interrogated some information. However, some of the information is very vague and does not make sense. We're worried that there might be a third party involved. Lieutenant General Luo, you're the person who had the most direct contact. I'd like to ask about the information at that time!"
"Go ahead!"
"First of all, according to the alien's confession, before it was captured, there was a big earthquake without any warning. I wonder if you …" Yu Zhen asked.
"There's no need to ask. I activated it when the earthquake happened." Luo Yuan interrupted him. There was nothing to hide. Mankind had already reached such a stage. Even if they were afraid of the evolved humans, it was still a secondary issue when it came to the survival of the race. As long as he did not start a coup and had no political ambitions, even if he killed a few people on the street, it would be a trivial matter in the grand scheme of things.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. This question had been bothering them for a long time. They could not figure it out no matter how hard they tried. They did not expect it to be caused by someone. It was not an ordinary earthquake. The earthquake was even detected by the reconstruction area that was tens of thousands of kilometers away. From the satellite images, the topography of the tens of thousands of square kilometers of Borneo had changed. It was not an exaggeration to say that the intensity of the earthquake was at level nine.
After a while, Yu Zhen regained his senses. He felt that his throat was dry, "Then the spaceship …"
"I also used a knife to break in, and then captured the alien."
…
"I think there's no problem!"
After the inquiry ended, Luo Yuan shook hands with a few of the intelligence personnel and walked out of the 125th Intelligence Bureau.
The meeting room was silent. Everyone looked stunned.
After a while, one of the intelligence personnel suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "Do you think Lieutenant General Luo's words can be trusted? Can an evolved human really be that strong?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, this is the most reasonable explanation. You can only choose to believe it." Yu Zhen sighed and said in a deep voice.
"Then, this report …"
"Hand it in!" Yu Zhen said.
He sighed in his heart. The reconstruction area had such a human strategic weapon. If not for the alien, the higher-ups would have had a headache.
