Chapter 404: The New Minister

An underground tunnel had been built below the ring road at the headquarters of Firearms Bureau.
A naked muscular man was standing still and his face seemed void of expressions. The next moment, a beam of highly energized particles instantly crashed through his body.
He hissed softly. His body began to become blurry and was emitting a faint glow.
It was a particle accelerator.
Compared to those large particle accelerators, this was relatively smaller and it was only one kilometer long. Thus, its energy would be much weaker as it was merely generated by a mini power station at the Firearms Bureau.
The heavy particle accelerator was originated from Lanzhou and was built in the 80’s. It was brought along during the migration. However, since it was unable to keep up with the changes in technology and research, this heavy particle accelerator was then abandoned and a new version of an accelerator was developed.
After the Firearms Bureau was created, he requested for this semi-finished accelerator.
The creation of the Firearms Bureau by the Reconstruction Area, to some extent, was to comfort him.
When the contradictions between human and the evolved man were intensified, part of the evolved man was not satisfied with being dominated by a normal human being. They then attempted to strive for higher status and power. Meanwhile, the top management of the Reconstruction Area was increasingly unhappy and dissatisfied with their lawless behavior.
The mutiny in the battlefield had resulted in the destruction of the city. Under a bloody command, a military purge began.
Many evolved men and soldiers had either died or escaped!
The purge soon extended, causing many of the evolved men to be worried. They hid here and there, which caused a stir in the Reconstruction Area. It was ongoing until one day when the executed command was canceled and things seemed peaceful everywhere now.
The command was abrupt. In the early days of the apocalypse, the evolved men were still very weak. A few of the well-trained soldiers could easily kill a weak evolved man. During the great purge, the armed forces were well-prepared for the battle. Not many soldiers died and it turned out to be a one-sided massacre.
The evolved men were incapable of striking back. But under such circumstances, the attacks had subsided all of a sudden. Those evolved men who had survived was then promoted as if nothing had happened before.
Ten days later, the Firearms Bureau was created and he was appointed as the vice minister of the department. No one knew what had happened but there were some clues, upon seeing him becoming the vice minister of Firearms Bureau.
…
After half an hour, he gradually walked out of the channel of the particle accelerator and there was green smoke around him. A slim secretary immediately brought him some clothes. He saw a frown on her face but he did not care about his naked body and the secretary who was flushing in anger. He then put on his clothes slowly.
”Didn't I tell you not to come here? Be wary of the radiation!”
”You don't need to care about me,” said the secretary, rather rudely.
His body was recovering as soon as the high temperature on his body decreased. He then said as he was walking, ”Can't you understand me? It's for your own good. What happened today? Why are you coming over?”
The secretary said, ”The newly appointed vice minister will be here at 9 o'clock. You must attend and I'm only worried that you will be late.”
”Vice minister?” He paused for a while and recalled what he had been told, ”Oh yes. You've told me this before. He'll be here today?”
”Yes, it's already half past eight now!” The secretary could not help but said, ”His name is Luo Yuan. Please don't forget this later.”
”Is my memory that bad? Hopefully, he turns out to be a friendly person.” He slightly frowned and said, ”The Reconstruction Area still had ill-feelings about me and wanted to decentralize the power.”
