Epoch of Twilight

Luo Yuan sat in the mayor's office, flipping through various documents and materials of Hope City.

With an intelligence of up to 16 points, he processed it at an astonishingly fast speed. In just ten minutes, he quickly read through several stacks of documents that piled up like a mountain.

Luo Yuan sighed, feeling heavy in his heart. Hope City suffered heavy losses in this disaster. The confirmed death toll was as high as 700,000 people. There is hardly any difference at night, and the factory area is still brightly lit.

Of course, if it was just like this, the death toll would not be so alarming, including the underground industrial zone. The reconstruction zone has a total of six industrial zones. Although the heavily polluted industrial zone on the ground is very important, it is only one of them. The workers The number is about half a million people.

And these 500,000 people are divided into day shift and night shift. Under normal circumstances, the death toll is at most about 250,000.

But in fact, Hope City was ravaged by two level 8 behemoths not long ago, and a large part of the factory area has not been completely restored. In order to rebuild Hope City as soon as possible and resume industrial production, at that time, there were more The workers sacrificed their personal rest time and spontaneously carried out intense reconstruction work at night. Among them, the former mayor and another deputy mayor also directed and coordinated at the construction site.

When the disaster came, these hundreds of thousands of people had no time to hide underground, and they were instantly killed by the shock wave caused by the explosion of the antimatter bomb.

Hope City, which originally had a population of more than 3 million, has only about 2.4 million people left.

Among the 2.4 million people, there are about 28,000 scientific researchers of various types, accounting for one eightyth of the total number, and about 40,000 skilled workers with the title of engineers, accounting for one sixtieth of the total number. .

This ratio is much higher than before the end of the world, and this is the result of a considerable part of it being transferred by Xinjing.

Of course, this is also normal. After all, Hope City is a key strategic city in the reconstruction area. In terms of scientific research strength, it is only second to Xinjing. There are already many scientific research personnel and engineers. It cannot be compared with the last days when human beings are struggling to survive.

However, although there seems to be a large number of scientific researchers and engineers, it is still far from enough to rebuild human civilization. Such a quantity, not to mention development, is already good if civilization does not regress. If we want to maintain the current level of human science and technology, this number must be multiplied by at least ten.

Fortunately, the maturity of cloning technology has made the population number a part of the factory's production plan, and the number of scientific researchers can also increase through the cultivation of human cloning. As long as there is enough time, this is not a problem.

He pondered slightly, turned his chair, looked at the map of the reconstruction area behind him, and drew a circle on the three cities near Hope City.

They are Liming City, Tuanjie City, and Shengli City.

Because these three cities are close to Hope City, they were not directly destroyed by antimatter bombs. There are still a large number of survivors underground. However, the situation in these cities is estimated to be more serious than Hope City. Can't last long!

At least investigate the situation in those cities first.

Luo Yuan picked up the internal phone and said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

As the municipal government, the line here was naturally connected immediately.

After a while, a young man with dark skin pushed the door silently and said respectfully, "Mayor, did you call me?"

His name is Cheng Guanghui, and he is the secretary of the former mayor. Although that person has already died, Luo Yuan has not changed his mind. The tricks of ordinary people are meaningless to a powerful existence like him. He said: "You tell the team members of the sword department to come to my place!"

"Yes, Mayor, what else do you want?" Cheng Guanghui said.

"No more, let's do it immediately!" Luo Yuan waved his hand.

Cheng Guanghui immediately left the office lightly, and gently closed the door before he left. As soon as the door was closed, a suppressed excitement appeared on his face.

The Sword Department and the city government have always been two parallel departments, and because this department is quite special, the members in it are extremely dangerous super evolutionaries, plus they often ask for help from others, every time the city government and They have to be careful in dealing with each other, lest they offend each other. In the more than a year of being a secretary, he had never seen such a plain but extremely domineering speech, as if these super-evolved people were just like the subordinates who were called.

But for the new mayor who was once the deputy director of the sword department, it seems that the sword players of Hope City are indeed his subordinates.

...

Luo Yuan waited for half an hour, and the members of the sword department had already arrived one after another, and none of them was missing.

Facing Luo Yuan again, the members of Hope City's Sword Department felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

They witnessed the birth of a legend with their own eyes. In half a year, he was promoted from an ordinary member of the sword to vice-captain, vice-minister, and now he has become the mayor of Hope City in one fell swoop. His strength has never been far behind them In just half a year, the distance between the two has reached the level between gods and mortals.

They have never seen the scene where Luo Yuan wiped out the aliens in the propaganda, but they have seen with their own eyes the scene where the terrifying eighth-level mutant beast is as docile as a pet in front of Luo Yuan.

Facing Luo Yuan at this time, whether it was his apprentice Fang Peibin or Lin Feiyan who had always wanted to say goodbye to Luo Yuan, they all felt their hearts beating wildly and extremely nervous, let alone the others.

"Everyone is acquaintances, so don't be restrained and sit down!" Seeing that these people were a little nervous, Luo Yuan couldn't help but squeeze out a smile on his face that was originally cold because of the current severe situation, and said.

Seeing that Luo Yuan's attitude remained the same as before, everyone couldn't help but relax slightly.

"Master...Master, have you really wiped out the aliens?" Fang Peibin couldn't help asking curiously. There were people everywhere promoting it that day, and it was hard for him not to hear it.

Seeing Fang Peibin's question, all the team members including Lin Feiyan immediately pricked up their ears, but Luo Yuan didn't satisfy their curiosity at all.

"I will not mention this in advance! After this disaster, the reconstruction area is gone now, the current situation has also changed, and the existence of the Sword Department has lost its meaning. I am calling you here this time. I intend to destroy the Sword Department." Disperse and reorganize, and merge the evolved ones into the city government, and you will form a special operations team, what do you think?"

In the era of the reconstruction area, in order to appease the super evolutionaries and maintain the stability of the reconstruction area, the sword department received preferential treatment. Whether it was welfare benefits or an astonishing number of logistics service personnel, it was undoubtedly quite extravagant by the standards of the last days.

When he was a member of Sharp Sword before, he naturally would not object, after all, as a person with vested interests, his ass decides his head, but now and then, after sitting in the position of mayor, the existence of this special department feels Some dazzling.

Lin Feiyan thought about it for a while, and she already understood the other party's purpose. From now on, these super-evolved people will not have much preferential treatment, maybe a little higher than ordinary people, but they still want to live comfortably like before. It's completely useless. If someone else dared to make such a request to her, even if it was the original mayor, she would show him the consequences of being overwhelmed.

However, at this moment, it was Luo Yuan who said this. Facing the strongest person in the world who seemed to be a god, she had no confidence at all, she murmured, and whispered: "I have no objection!"

"what about you?"

"Master, it's up to you to decide, we have no opinion!" Fang Peibin said with a smile.

"Yes, yes!" Crazy Wang said quickly, he used to be most afraid of Luo Yuan, but now he is even more afraid, if possible, he would not want to stay here for a moment.

"In this case, I will issue the first action order. I went out to take a look just now. Now the wind outside has weakened a lot. It should not have much impact on you. What you have to do now is to rush to Liming City separately. , Tuanjie City and Shengli City, investigate the situation of the survivors there, and get in touch with the other city government."
