Both of them arrived at the restaurant specially set up for the members of the Firearms Bureau. The restaurant was empty as it was still as early as 9 o’clock in the morning. They picked a seat at random and sat down.

”Master Yang, could you bring the alcohol? I left it here and also prepared a few dishes for Minister Luo!” Ling Zhong-an said.

”Sure! I'll give my best to make sure the dishes are superb, just for you!” The chef manager said, with a happy smile. At the same time, he also tried to remember the new minister, as he was far too inferior to accidentally offend a person with such high powers.

The alcohol was served right after they sat down.

There were more than ten bottles of alcohol and all of it were amongst famous brands of white wine before the apocalypse. It was very valuable and exclusive, as not many people had the chance to find it, and it was not something you could easily obtain, even with a lot of food stamps. Luo Yuan stole a glance and realized that there were only 12 bottles, all of which were from five different brands.

”Let’s drink, let’s drink!” Ling Zhong-an twisted the bottle cap open and filled Luo Yuan’s bowl with alcohol. ”Cheers!”

He lifted the bowl and then finished it. Luo Yuan followed suit.

”I can’t taste the alcohol anymore. It makes me feel like quitting these drinks for good.” Ling Zhong-an filled Luo Yuan’s bowl again and sighed.

He was an alcoholic in the past and had a habit of drinking a lot before the apocalypse, but ever since his evolution, he had not even had his first drink.

”I didn’t exactly give it much thought. I don’t drink that much… even until now,” said Luo Yuan, as he drank another bowl of alcohol.

”I guess you have not experienced the most interesting part of drinking yet. Take a sip before going out in winter. The experience of feeling the warmth flowing through your body is incredible!”

”Seems like I’m not as lucky then.” Luo Yuan smiled and said.

Drinking alcohol was as easy as drinking water for the two of them. They finished half a dozen bottles even before the dishes were served.

”Something very serious had happened just recently, hasn’t it?” Ling Zhong-an suddenly asked. He had always been a very straightforward person and was inclined to ask questions when things were uncertain.

”What are you talking about?” Luo Yuan asked in surprise.

”For example, you were suddenly promoted to be the deputy minister. You were a Vice-Captain, weren’t you?” Ling Zhong-an said.

”It’s a long story.” Luo Yuan shook his head and drained the alcohol in his bowl.

”Is there something you don't want to reveal, or are there certain confidential policies that you are required to abide by?” Ling Zhong-an whispered softly. Even if he did not know anything about politics, he was familiarizing himself ever since he was promoted to deputy minister for such a long time now.

”Are you sure you want to know? It’s bad for you, though!” Luo Yuan raised his head and asked, as he looked at Ling Zhong-an.

Ling Zhong-an smiled and said, ”Nothing to be afraid of.”

”Alright. You know the nuclear fusion device exploded, right?” Luo Yuan hesitated and asked.

Ling Zhong-an nodded seriously. The news of the explosion was widespread, thus making it impossible for him to be unaware of it at all. Besides, the lab was not too far away from the headquarters of the Firearms Bureau. He even saw the explosion from afar, when it happened.
