The sound of bombings was rumbling outside, while the air was filled with smoke. Mayor Wu remained calm on his seat while meticulously going through the document. The information on the document was too brief and lacked the details he needed. Most of them were described in uncertainties. As a matter of fact, ever since he received the fax in the afternoon, Mayor Wu had been reading this piece of document several times already. He could even memorize the whole thing by now.

Level five, this was a level five evolved human. His secretary was a level four evolved human. Although it was just a level apart, putting the difference of strength aside, there were 10,000 level four evolved people in the entire country, and only 100 to 200 level fives. Such people were indeed rare. Most of them were stationed in the military site, key industrial bases or major mineral areas. He had never seen one in his life.

At that moment, there was a knock on his door.

”Mayor, they are here.”

Hearing the secretary’s voice made Mayor Wu rejoice, ”Invite them in now!”

He tried his best to calm himself down but there was a sense of urgency and tension in his voice.

The door was opened, a gang of them walked in together along with a thick smell of smoke. The narrow office had now become crowded.

”You guys have come a long way; we didn’t expect any survivors to be still out there. Come sit, please make yourself at home! Little Zhen, make us some tea right now.” Mayor Wu stood up, he was smiling while observing the gang.

He did not know which one of them was Luo Yuan, but the latter’s magical vibe made him very recognizable.

He was tall and handsome, with smooth skin. He gave out a clean impression but he was definitely not a pretty boy. In fact, he looked majestic and a tad unapproachable.

Although the office was small, there were two long benches. Luo Yuan sat down and said, ”We don’t need tea, we don’t drink that anymore. It would be great if we could have some water instead.”

Mayor Wu was open-minded, ”Water is still the best, tea leaves nowadays can be tasteless.”

Water was then served immediately. Luo Yuan picked up a glass, took a sip and finished it.

Mayor Wu was taken by surprise, as the water was still boiling hot.

Luo Yuan put down the glass and asked, ”Let’s be straightforward. There’s something that I don’t understand. As mayor, you should be very busy, especially at this hour. Why did you call us here in the middle of the night? I don’t think all survivors receive the same treatment, do they?”

Luo Yuan had his own speculations, but it was best to be upfront about it and to seek clarification. With his increasing ability, he was more inclined to solve issues right away. His voice was sweet and soft, the pace, tone and manner was just right, yet it exuded a stressful vibe.

Mayor Wu was tense; beads of sweat dotted his forehead. He said immediately, ”That’s not true, we have been following you since your arrival, as Mr. Luo’s impressive ability can hardly be ignored. You need to know that this is a high-surveillance district. As such, there are cameras monitoring anytime and anywhere. We have already gotten news even before you came.”

”Oh, I see!” Luo Yuan was not surprised at the answer. Once he stepped foot into the reconstruction area, he had already noticed the many unmanned aerial vehicles flying in the sky. At that point, he did feel slightly uncomfortable, as the feeling of being constantly monitored wasn’t exactly his cup of tea.

Meanwhile, the bombing sounds outside did not stop at all, including the wailing and screaming. There was an uproar in a specific area one kilometer away from them, and the ground was shaking. Mayor Wu could not help it anymore, as he begged, ”You know how bad it is out there. I hereby represent Desert City to officially ask for Mr Luo’s help!”
