Volume 1 Mutation Chapter 23 Meetings
I don't know how long it took, but Liu Cong felt the energy in his heart begin to weaken before he opened his eyes, as if the whole world in front of him had become colorful.
Before you know it, there are no living creatures at the feet of the willows, and hundreds of thousands of mutated creatures have turned into dust, covering the entire area of black fire, and the gray-white ashes are knee-high, making people shudder.
Put away the black fire, the willows fell to the city wall, and the black pressure on the city wall suddenly dispersed. In ancient times, there were millions of corpses ambushed by the Son of Heaven, but after all, it was not seen with his own eyes, and this was a real enemy of 10,000 people, and he killed 100,000 mutant creatures in one battle, which made people fearful.
District Chief Zhou pushed away the crowd and walked over, followed by more than a dozen people, and said with a smile: "Thank you for saving the residents of the city, your mighty posture is still engraved in my mind, the contemptible person is the head of the No. 16 safety zone, my name is Zhou Kang." "Zhou Kang had prepared the draft in advance before he came, and after thinking about it, he decided to call Liu Jianxian an adult, which is not only good-looking, but also in line with the status of an immortal, which is really much more suitable than a chief or something.
Liu Cong shook his hand indifferently and introduced himself: "My name is Liu Cong, just call me by my name." ”
Zhou Kang clasped Liu Cong's hand with both hands, and smiled even more happily: "Don't dare, you are now the big hero of the whole city, how can I call him by his name, we have prepared a banquet, and we will specially pick up the wind and wash the dust for you!" I hope you don't shirk it! ”
At this point, not to mention the fact that there is still a deal to deal with later, Liu Cong had to put down the idea of resting and agreed.
"My lord, please follow me." Zhou Kang gestured.
Liu Cong followed him down the fence before he could see the whole picture of the No. 16 security zone, where the buildings are all spire design, the houses are very densely built, and a barrier is formed between the eaves, which perfectly covers the narrow road below, quite an ancient palace construction style.
The road they are walking on is wider than the others, and there are many shops on both sides of the road, such as bubble tea shops, restaurants, KTVs, bookstores, and Liu Cong even saw a foot massage shop.
Zhou Kang had been observing this powerful sword immortal, and seeing that he was a little surprised, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said slightly proudly: "My lord, the purpose of our No. 16 safety zone is not only to provide protection for the residents here, but also to provide rich spiritual construction, no matter how chaotic it is outside, here, people can enjoy both material and spiritual satisfaction." Let me tell you secretly, in order to promote the reproduction of human beings, we have secretly matched many single men and women! ”
Liu Cong was indeed a little surprised by everything here, before coming here, he thought that the so-called safe zone was like the crowded refuge camp in the movie. It was only here that he changed his impression of the so-called safe zone, ignoring the outside world, and this is simply a peaceful little city.
He couldn't help but ask curiously, "District Chief Zhou, there are so many residents here, do you have enough food?" ”
"Where's enough! There are more than 10,000 people here, and the amount of food to be consumed every day is very large, and we originally had enough food for three years, but some survivors from the surrounding cities continued to flee here, increasing the consumption. Now we have less than a year of food in stock, so we have to send teams out to find more food to ensure that we need it. District Mayor Zhou complained.
Liu Cong frowned when he heard this, food shortage is probably a headache for all security zones. Although people live and work in peace and contentment here, but as time progresses and the food problem becomes more and more serious, the people at that time will no longer be as harmonious as they are now.
Zhou Kang took Liu Cong to a building located in the center of the security zone, and along the way, there were people looking at Liu Cong with awe-inspiring eyes.
Zhou Kang's office had already set up the dining table in advance, which was full of all kinds of dishes, and the intimate secretary also opened two bottles of red wine, waiting for the arrival of the two.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhou Kang waved his hand and motioned for the secretary to retreat, and after Liu Cong and Zhou Kang and others took their seats, the secretary also sensibly closed the door.
"District Chief Zhou, I heard you say, there is such a shortage of food here, and we are afraid that we are still so extravagant and wasteful, right? Liu Cong looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table and frowned.
"My lord, you have wronged me, it was specially ordered from above, I want to treat you well! We are also thanks to you to be able to eat such a meal, how dare you usually! Zhou Kang smiled and reassured, and at the end he leaned into Liu Cong's ear and whispered: "Besides, this person has to have a conscience, if a big hero like you can't eat and drink well, then who will be born and die for their safety, right?" You can rest assured that no one will gossip, just enjoy it. ”
Although these words are explicit, they also speak to the hearts of many people present, if there is no benefit, who is willing to serve the people so fortunately? The so-called equality of all people will only come after paying equal labor. Modern society pays more attention to the ability to work more and get more for more work, so many people have echoed Zhou Kang's words.
Liu Cong also felt that Zhou Kang's words made some sense, and besides, the food was ready, so he let go of the discomfort in his heart and feasted on it, this was the first time he had eaten such a delicious meal since he woke up. Although he won't be fine if he doesn't eat or drink for a year, Liu Cong is still a person after all, and he also has seven emotions and six desires, so he will not let go of the opportunity to have a full stomach.
After eating and drinking, Liu Cong went to the room that Zhou Kang had arranged to rest, and this night, he did not continue to practice, but slept steadily.
Early the next morning, Liu Cong had already gotten up and washed up, and went to the No. 16 City Hall to attend the meeting, it is worth mentioning that the town hall of each security zone is named after its own area code, which is very easy to remember.
The conference hall, which was not particularly large, was already full at this time, and Liu Cong got up early in the morning, but he was still the last to arrive. Zhou Kang left the main seat to Liu Cong and sat in the position of deputy.
"My lord, you should preside over this meeting, and there is nothing else to do, the main thing is to discuss what to do with those corpses outside the wall." Zhou Kang leaned into Liu Cong's ear and said.
Liu Cong's face was indifferent, but in fact, he had already slandered in his heart, when did he worry about this. Coughing his throat, he said: "District Chief Zhou, I am new to the city, and I am not very clear about the matters in the security zone, so you should preside over this meeting, and I will listen to it from the sidelines." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Kang no longer pushed, cleared his throat and said: "First of all, now we can still sit here and hold this meeting, I would like to thank Lord Sword Immortal for his assistance from thousands of miles, and it is also because of him that our No. 16 safety zone can be safe and sound, looking at the entire domestic safety zone, which one can be intact in the scene like yesterday?" ”
The people sitting below couldn't help but think of the hundreds of thousands of corpses under the soldiers who came to the city that day, as well as the huge white snake.
Seeing that the compliments of the people below were almost over, District Chief Zhou said with a smile again: "We should admire the great achievements of Lord Liu, but what we need to discuss now is how to deal with the tens of thousands of corpses outside the wall. It's summer, and if you don't deal with it in time, not only will it rot and stink, but it is also very likely to spread the plague. ”
"District Chief Zhou, in my opinion, it is better to immediately send someone to bury the corpse in a centralized manner."
"Seconded the proposal, I also think it's better to dig a pit and bury them."
"District Chief, although burying the body is a good method, the amount of work to be done is too large, and without the corresponding equipment, we can't dig such a big pit in such a short time."
"Let's collect the corpse and set it on fire!"
"No, I'm not in favor of setting fire! Nowadays, we have little energy in reserve, and power generation is completely dependent on oil-fired power generation, and the gasoline resource is to use a little less, and burn so many corpses, how much gasoline must be wasted. ”
Liu Cong listened to the discussion of these people, and couldn't help but have a big head, and said, "Okay!" Don't even say it, send someone to pile up the corpses, and I will set them on fire! ”
Zhou Kang listened with a smile, this is exactly what he wants, but he doesn't know the details of this sword immortal, and he is worried that Liu Cong's consumption yesterday is too large, and it is difficult to speak.
"My lord, then according to what you said, but I have to be sorry for you again."
Liu Cong glanced at him, although he had the idea of dealing with it himself after hearing the topic of discussion, but Zhou Kang did not propose it directly, but waited for him to speak in this veiled way, which really disgusted him.
