Doomsday Rise

"...I graduated from college at the age of 22 and started working at the grassroots level in rural areas. It took me 5 years to go from a clerk to a deputy township head. I sat in the position of deputy township head for another 5 years and was transferred to a town. After working for 4 years, I was transferred to the district finance bureau as deputy director. After 2 years, I was promoted to the district organization department. In the third year, I was transferred to the district organization department, and then the deputy district director and district director. It took me 25 years to go from being a clerk to the district director. Long, in the entire system of the Han Dynasty, my speed is not very fast, but as a person without any background, I can never say that I am slow, I should be at the upper-middle level. How old are you this year? Have you graduated from college? ? How long did it take to become the governor of Tianfeng Province?" Zhang Quanshen has a broad forehead and small eyes, but he is very energetic. The speech is slow, cadenced, and has a metallic feel. When staring at people, they give people a strong sense of oppression.

He is 1.7 meters tall, probably due to lack of food, and his body is on the thin side, but he does not look weak. On the contrary, his skin is slightly dark, and he looks like a piece of fine iron that has been polished repeatedly and is indestructible.

"I am 20 years old this year. I have been in college for one semester. If I am not satisfied, I can't even talk about graduating. From the beginning of the troubled times to now, more than two years ago, I took the position of governor of Tianfeng Province. Of course, the governor is I sealed it myself." Liu Wei'an said.

"Twenty years old is the most creative age. 20 years old is so young, two years younger than my son." Zhang Quan sighed deeply.

"It's because there are many shortcomings that we need to ask our seniors for advice." Liu Wei'an's attitude was very low.

"I already understand the purpose of Governor Liu's visit. Everyone's time is precious, so I won't beat around the bush. I am very touched that Governor Liu can contribute to the survival of the people in these troubled times, and I would like to thank you on behalf of the people. If you don't cooperate enough, you will be exempted. The country has its own laws and it is impossible for me to cooperate with you." Zhang Quanshen's attitude was very firm.

"Both parties will benefit from cooperation. I don't understand why Senior Zhang refused people thousands of miles away?" Liu Wei'an and Zou Mei had already predicted that this trip would not be so easy on the way here, but they still didn't expect that Zhang Quanshen would refuse so simply and firmly. .

"May I ask if Governor Liu is simply cooperating? He has no intention of annexing our Yushan District?" Zhang Quanshen's eyes were extremely sharp.

Liu Wei'an's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Can I say a word?" Huang suddenly said.

"Please tell me!" Huang did not introduce his identity, and Zhang Quanshen did not know Huang's identity. However, among Liu Wei'an and his party, only Liu Wei'an and Huang were sitting. The remaining gold-level masters were standing behind and had no qualifications to sit. , based on this, Zhang Quanshen did not dare to despise Huang.

"I don't know what District Chief Zhang's criteria for cooperation are, but it is obvious that no one in Binzhou Road has any expectations of cooperating with others in the short term. If Yushan District is not swallowed up by others, how long can it exist?" Huang asked.

"If destruction is irreversible, we will try our best." Zhang Quanshen's desolate face flashed with a look of death.

"Let me ask another question. District Chief Zhang is the head of a district. In peacetime, he will naturally lead everyone to seek common development, increase income, and improve everyone's quality of life. But now that troubled times are coming, we cannot reverse this. , as the district chief, should I protect the safety of the people in Yushan District and ensure the safety of everyone's life, health and property?" Huang stared at Zhang Quanshen, a bit aggressive at this moment.

"That's natural." Zhang Quanshen didn't hesitate at all.

"Governor Liu is younger than you, but more capable than you. You won't deny this, right?" Huang asked.

"Governor Liu's martial arts skills are better than mine." Zhang Quanshen hesitated and said,

He couldn't see through Liu Wei'an's depth, but he could tell that the strength of Elephant, Immortal Cat and Leader Yang were all above him. Being able to control a person of this level, Liu Wei'an couldn't be any worse.

A faint sarcasm escaped from the corner of Huang's mouth, "Martial arts is only one aspect. In two years, Governor Liu saved a broken Tianfeng Province, led the Ping An team, fought against zombies, saved countless people, and finally restored Tianfeng Province. Although the order in Tianfeng Province is not as good as before the troubled times, the people are safe and secure, with shelter and clothing. The current population of Tianfeng Province exceeds 10 million. These people were saved by Governor Liu. May I ask Zhang District How many people have you saved?"

"This..." Zhang Quanshen didn't know how to answer for a while.

"We have saved fewer people, but we have tried our best. People's abilities vary, so does Governor Liu deny the efforts of our father and son just because he is more capable?" Zhang Zhiliang, who had been holding back, spoke up. Zhang Zhiliang is the son of Zhang Quanshen, and he is also an evolver. His strength is slightly weaker than Zhang Quanshen, but he is also at the gold level. In addition, his daughter Zhang Zhixi is also at the gold level, with three golds in one discipline. This laid the foundation for the strength of the Zhang family and his son to rule Yushan District.

Zhang Quanshen's wife is also an evolver. In the late Silver stage, although she is not as good as her husband and children, she is still very amazing. The whole family is an evolutionist, with three gold levels. This probability is unique to scorpions in the entire Xiangshui Province, not to mention Yushan District.

"As long as you serve the people, save one person or a hundred people, as long as you do your best, it is worthy of praise. I have no intention of denying your contribution. But Governor Liu is more capable, and he cannot There is no doubt that more people can be saved by cooperating with stronger people, but you are unwilling to cooperate. I would like to ask, as the parents of Yushan District, what are your intentions? ?" Huang stared at Zhang Zhiliang with sharp eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense, we don't have any intentions." Zhang Zhiliang said loudly.

"Still," Huang's tone became colder, "You regard Yushan District as the private residence of your Zhang family. You would rather the people die than let others get involved!"

"You are such a mouthful!" Zhang Zhiliang stood up suddenly, staring at Huang with angry eyes, his breath rising and falling, and he almost took action. But as soon as his thoughts arose, he was doused by a basin of cold water, which made him shiver. Because he saw a pair of eyes, a pair of slightly red eyes. He had never seen such terrifying eyes, cold, ruthless, and unspeakable cruelty. These eyes gave him the smell of death, which was more terrifying than facing a predator alone.

"Hmph!" Elephant looked away disdainfully. If Zhang Zhiliang just messed up, he wouldn't mind smashing him to pieces with a fist.

"The heart of our father and son can be learned from the sky. We know what we insist on, and the people in Yushan District also know this. This will not change because of the opinions of outsiders. You are stronger than us. If you want to use We know that we are defeated by force, but we will not surrender." Zhang Quan looked at Liu Wei'an with deep fear in his eyes.

"Is the so-called persistence in your hearts more important than the tens of thousands of people in Yushan District?" Liu Wei'an asked in a deep voice, feeling angry in his heart.

"Life is priceless, but some things need to be protected more than life." Zhang Quanshen said calmly.

"I came unexpectedly. I'm sorry for disturbing District Chief Zhang." Liu Wei'an took a deep look at Zhang Quanshen, and without further entanglement, he got up and left with the others.

Seeing Liu Wei'an and others disappearing outside the gate, Zhang Quanshen's body swayed and he fell softly from the stool. Zhang Zhiliang was taken aback and quickly supported him: "Father, what's wrong with you? I'll call the doctor right away."

"Father!" Zhang Zhixi, who was hiding in the back compartment, rushed out with an anxious look on her face.

"No, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." Zhang Quanshen closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing for a cup of tea. He opened his eyes and felt much better. He looked at the worried eyes of his children and smiled: "Don't look like that. Look at me, after all, I am also an evolved person, so I won’t die that easily.”

"But you have to eat. Don't evolvers eat? Are there many evolvers who have starved to death?" A middle-aged woman walked in with a bowl of porridge. She was Zhang Quanshen's wife, Rongrong.

The porridge was very clear, with only dozens of rice grains. Zhang Quanshen drank a third of it and put down the bowl.

"Drink it all. You lose strength from time to time because you are hungry. If you suddenly lose strength while fighting zombies, how can you not make us worry? If you die, will you leave us orphans and widowed mothers to be bullied?" Rongrong said angrily.

"We still have a bowl of porridge a day, but there are still many people who can't even maintain one energy tube a day. Thinking of those people who starve to death, I have no shame in drinking." Zhang Quanshen naturally knew that his wife's words made sense, but thinking of such Many people were so hungry that they didn't even have the strength to speak, and he really couldn't drink.

Rongrong didn't say anything, just held the bowl and looked at him persistently. After a stalemate for a while, Zhang Quanshen had no choice but to drink the rest of the porridge.

Rongrong has never been involved in major affairs. She follows the traditional model of raising a husband and raising children, with the male taking care of the outside and the female taking care of the inside. But today, she didn't take the bowl to wash as usual. She hesitated, but finally spoke.

"Otherwise, just agree to that Liu Wei'an. I've also heard that he is indeed very capable!"

"What do you know?" Zhang Quanshen was furious, pointed at Rongrong, and said in an unprecedentedly stern tone: "This matter is absolutely not allowed. Everything can be accommodated, but this matter cannot be tolerated."

Rongrong didn't expect Zhang Quanshen's reaction to be so strong, and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

"Father, mother just doesn't mean that. She just doesn't want you to be so tired, and she also cares about you." Zhang Zhixi whispered.

"Then you should know what to say and what not to say. Can you say this casually?" Zhang Quan snorted deeply, but his tone softened.

"Then just hold on. If your children are all ruined one day, what are you going to hold on to?" Rongrong stopped taking the bowl and stormed away. Zhang Zhiliang and Zhang Zhixi shouted from behind, but she pretended not to hear them.

"Do you have the same meaning as your mother?" Zhang Quan asked deeply after being silent for a while.

"I just don't understand." Zhang Zhiliang met Zhang Quanshen's gaze. He could tell that his father was insisting, but he didn't know what his father was insisting on.

"Alas!" Zhang Quanshen stood up and walked to the map. At this moment, he was only in his forties and looked a bit old, and his voice was a bit desolate.

"National unity is the guarantee of stability and prosperity. Although Liu Wei'an is powerful, he is a rebellious minister. We represent the government. If we choose to cooperate with Liu Wei'an, there will be endless troubles. The collapse of the system is the most terrifying thing, zombies It's just a temporary crisis. If the country is divided, the people will really fall into dire straits. Historical experience tells us that every civil strife will lead to the destruction of lives. Maybe we will all die, but we are saving more people."

Zhang Zhiliang's heart trembled, and then he realized that he had wrongly blamed his father, and his confused eyes slowly became firmer.
