On its exaggerated muscles, there were countless veins that looked like old tree roots, protruding and entangling on the muscles, showing its terrifying strength. Even if the King Kong from the movie came to reality, it would have to run away in front of it.
At this moment, it was breathing heavily. In the cold weather, it spat out a column of white air.
Having just completed its evolution, it was obviously quite tired. It kept panting, and after a long time, it gradually recovered.
It then looked at Luo Yuan with a ferocious face, which made people feel that it was unapproachable and had a bad temper.
However, its actions completely destroyed its fiendish temperament. It scratched its head and grinned foolishly. Then, it started to whimper non-stop, as if it was expressing the grievances and fear in its heart.
"Let's go. Let's leave this place and go somewhere else. We should be able to find some food there!" Luo Yuan suddenly said.
The evolution this time had caused its strength to increase by leaps and bounds. Although it did not directly evolve into a level-8 creature, it had reached level-7. All of its attributes had increased dramatically, especially its Strength, which had reached 35 points in one go, which was higher than his.
Although winter had arrived, the ecological chain had not been completely destroyed. There were still mutated beasts surviving in the wild. With its current strength, it would not be difficult for it to find food.
As for whether it could survive the nuclear winter and survive until the sun came again, it would be up to fate.
As a mutated ape, King Kong's IQ was not low. It could already understand some human language. When it saw that Luo Yuan wanted to chase it away, it quickly shook its head and whimpered. Its strange green eyes were filled with fear.
Luo Yuan did not care about its pleading. He did not have any extra food to feed it, so it would only be waiting for death if it stayed.
He turned around and looked at the giant lizard's body. Next, he dragged the giant lizard's carcass to the hole that King Kong had made and buried it with gravel. No matter what, the giant lizard had been with him for a long time. Luo Yuan could not bear to leave its carcass in the wild.
Looking at the grave made of gravel, Luo Yuan was silent for a while, then he turned around and walked down the mountain.
Seeing Luo Yuan turn around and leave without looking back, King Kong whimpered anxiously. It hesitated to follow Luo Yuan, but it did not dare to approach him.
The fear that Luo Yuan had given it in the past had penetrated deep into its bones. It did not dare disobey Luo Yuan's orders at all.
Luo Yuan's heart sank as he listened to King Kong's cries of grievance. King Kong's voice was filled with reluctance and fear. Suddenly, he performed a space leap and disappeared from sight.
King Kong quickly climbed to the top of the mountain and kept looking around. However, it could not see Luo Yuan anymore. In the end, it sat down dejectedly.
…
After returning to Hope City, Luo Yuan did not stop to check on the production of the factory.
The weather was getting colder and colder. Even indoors, it was close to -20 degrees Celsius. Many people were already suffering from frostbite. The hospitals were also full of patients with flu and fever. If this continued, a large number of deaths would occur.
"After a day and a night of work, we have produced 3,000 electric blankets. However, we estimate that we will be able to produce 10,000 electric blankets by tonight." A person in charge of the factory introduced. He seemed nervous and his voice was slightly trembling.
After all, 3,000 was too little. It was like trying to put out a cart of firewood with a cup of water. However, it could not be helped. Before the disaster, the weather had been hot. No one would have specially produced electric blankets. After receiving the task, the equipment needed to be adjusted and the workers needed to be trained. It was already a race against time for them to be able to produce electric blankets in such a short time.
"Mayor, this is the fastest we can do!" Seeing Luo Yuan's expression, the deputy mayor who was in charge of the industry said carefully, "There are a total of 10 factories that produce electric blankets. We should be able to produce 80,000 by tonight."
"That's too little. I don't care what the reason is, but we have to expand the production immediately. Time waits for no one. Dismantle the machines in the factories that are still usable. It's a waste to leave them there. We have to recruit workers as well. Even if it's done by hand, we have to make sure that every family has one by tonight." Luo Yuan said coldly. If they did not take measures to keep warm tonight, they might really freeze to death in such weather.
"But it's impossible!" The deputy mayor tried to explain.
"If you can't do it, then get someone else to do it!" Luo Yuan said coldly, looking at him.
The deputy mayor was shocked by Luo Yuan's stare. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He suddenly remembered that things were different now. Luo Yuan was no longer the mayor he used to be. If he was really dissatisfied, he could not just criticize him verbally. He might even lose his life. He quickly said, "I'll get it done immediately. I promise to complete the production before nightfall!"
"That's good. Keeping warm is our top priority now. We have to do this well. I don't want to see people freeze to death the next day."
Luo Yuan was not dissatisfied with the deputy mayor. To be honest, it was already very efficient for him to be able to achieve this in such a short time. However, time waits for no man. There were more solutions than difficulties. If he did not push him, who knew what his limits were? Now was not the time to be reasonable.
Next, Luo Yuan inspected the clothing factory, the quilt factory, the air conditioning factory, the heating lamp factory, the hand warmer factory, and the steam pipe factory.
Luo Yuan's face was gloomy throughout the whole process. The people who accompanied him were terrified.
Most of the factories were working, but the situation was not good. The production was quite limited, far from enough to distribute. Some of the factories were still in the process of debugging, and it was still a long way from official production.
Time. Everything needed time, and time was what they lacked the most.
After leaving the industrial area, he went to inspect the agricultural area.
The situation there made Luo Yuan feel slightly relieved. Under the large number of lights, the temperature had returned to normal. The crops were growing normally, and the scene was full of vitality. The crops and vegetables that were harvested every day were enough to supply Hope City's needs.
…
After an emergency repair day and night, the lights on the streets were now back on.
While it was lunchtime, Luo Yuan took the time to go to Chen Xinjie's address.
Looking at the number 12 of Fuxing Road, Luo Yuan hesitated for a while before he knocked on the door. After a while, the door finally opened. It was not Chen Xinjie who opened the door, but a middle-aged woman.
She looked like she was in her thirties, and Luo Yuan could vaguely see traces of Chen Xinjie on her face. She did not seem to be in good health, and her face was pale and haggard. She seemed to be sick.
Seeing that it was a stranger who knocked on the door, she was stunned and asked weakly, "May I know who you are looking for?"
"Is this Chen Xinjie's house?" Luo Yuan asked with a smile.
"May I know who you are?"
"Hi Aunty, we used to be colleagues. I couldn't get in touch with her recently, so I came to have a look!"
"Oh, you're Xinxin's friend. She went to work and hasn't come back yet. Come, come in and have a seat." Her haggard face showed a smile, and she quickly greeted Luo Yuan enthusiastically.
"It's alright, it's alright! I just came to have a look. Since she's not here, I won't disturb you anymore. " Luo Yuan quickly said. He then asked, "Oh yeah, wasn't she working at the headquarters of the Firearms Bureau? Where is she working now?"
"She has been working at the organization department for two days now!" Then, she said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, I wasn't feeling well a few days ago, so she insisted on coming to see me. Otherwise … I heard that the New Capital City has been destroyed."
Thinking about the hundreds of millions of lives in the reconstruction area, Luo Yuan could not help but feel a little depressed. He then regained his senses and asked, "Aunty, are you not feeling well? Why don't you go to the hospital?"
"It's an old illness that can't be cured. I'll live as long as I can. I just hope that Xinxin can find a suitable partner as soon as possible, so that I can die in peace. "She said casually.
Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Putting aside the sequelae, there was basically no illness that he could not cure with his Will. However, it was obviously not appropriate to ask her to see a doctor on their first meeting. It would be better to see Chen Xinjie first and understand her condition!
