Chapter 31, Wang Qiu, Captain of the Urban Management Brigade (I)

Like the human kingdom in Attack on Titan, which relied on a circle of high walls to defend against giants, the new city in the Arnous Hills now has more than one wall: in the core area near the space-time gate, there is also a slightly lower wall, dividing the city into two districts, the inner and outer districts. Even between the inner and outer circles of the city wall, there is a longitudinal wall or causeway, which connects the two circles of city walls.

Compared to the outer city between the two city walls, which have taken shape in the modern urban landscape, the inner city of "Arnous" is more like a large construction site, full of large and simply leveled open spaces, colorful tents and board houses, and all kinds of construction machinery and facilities. At present, there are still few completed buildings in the inner city, but the "door" connecting the two worlds is no longer exposed, but is protected in a giant building similar to Beijing's "Water Cube" National Natatorium, which is called a "containment" by the relevant departments Of course, for practical considerations, the outer wall of the containment is made of opaque materials, and the size of the gate is comparable to that of a Boeing hangar.

At this time, the door of the containment shell happened to be open, and military trucks painted in camouflage were coming and going, bringing all kinds of supplies to the frontline troops advancing into the other world. On the side of the plaza outside the gate, there are many handymen in blue overalls and researchers in white coats who are busy sorting out samples of otherworldly organisms that are ready to be transported back to modern Earth. Among them are an eagle with two heads, a snake with bat wings, and a jellyfish that can float in the air...... All were recently collected and housed in sturdy cages. There's also a whole bunch of weird otherworldly plants and mushrooms.

However, the most conspicuous thing to look at is the large group of slimes that have been placed in a fish tank, each slime is only the size of a ping-pong ball, and there are various colors, showing a translucent gelatinous shape, which looks like a bunch of colorful large jellies, and is still squirming slightly, making a cute "poof" sound...... Compared with Wang Qiu, the slimes they saw in the swamp when they went out to scout before, those slimes that looked and smelled like mud were disgusting and rancid, obviously two completely different species, maybe they had the value of raising as pets?

On the other side of the square in front of the "gate", there is currently a four-story reinforced concrete office building with an open corridor, although the green belt downstairs has not yet been completed, but a large row of various cars has been parked at the door, and there are people wearing military uniforms, tunics and suits who are coming and going to carry Wang Qiu and their electric sightseeing cars into the city, which stopped at the door of the office building with the sign of "temporary city government".

Then, Political Commissar Guo and other passengers were arranged by the doorman to go to dinner, and Wang Qiu was led outside the mayor's office on the fourth floor...... Next, Wang Qiu, who pushed the door in, was stunned to see a female white-collar worker in a double ponytail suit who was "very mature and very lolily" raised her head from behind the desk and greeted herself with a smile, "...... Yo! Long time no see, son! How are you doing? ”

“…… Uh, long time no see, Mom! Everything is fine on my side......" With an embarrassed expression, Wang Qiu replied blankly.

The first mayor of this colonial city in another world is Wang Qiu's biological mother, Comrade Wang Meiling......

Well, for Wang Qiu, who was born in a single-parent family, there is indeed no closer person in this world than his mother.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

“…… Fate is such a thing! There was no way to predict it! Anyway, I never thought that I was just the director of a leprosy hospital in Shanghai and a retired supernatural person, so why did I go to another world to become the mayor? However, the central leaders came to talk to me and said, 'The central government has decided, you will become mayor,' and I said that it would be better to invite another Gao Ming. I'm really not modest, I've managed dozens of people at most before, but now I have to manage a city all at once, and I really don't have this experience. However, the leading comrades said, 'Everyone has already studied and decided, and it is you!' This is also convenient for you to take care of your son closely, and don't make a big mess because of poor communication', so then I recited two lines of poetry, called 'The life and death of the country is profitable, and it is not because of misfortune and fortune to avoid it', so I went to another world to become the mayor......"

Wang Meiling chattered while standing on tiptoe and patted Wang Qiu's shoulder, "...... Son, I have to help my mother more in the future! ”

And Wang Qiu is already so embarrassed that he is about to roll his eyes, since he entered the system, he has been tossing and turning all the way for so long, and now he is actually back under his mother's hands? What kind of god is this? And according to the organizational procedures, my mother shouldn't be qualified to be the mayor, right?

Of course, as long as you think about it a little, with Wang Qiu's experience and mind, you can probably understand the bitterness of the central leaders about this exceptional promotion: in the previous several crossing missions carried out by Wang Qiu and them, basically every time they got to the end, almost all the places they passed were covered with corpses and rivers of blood, and the number of dead people was at least one million, and all kinds of tragic tragedies were simply countless...... The past few tragedies happened in a different world and were not directly connected to the real world, so no matter how exaggerated and tragic Wang Qiu and the others were, the central government was not particularly worried, anyway, other people's children would never die. But this time the situation is completely different, with an open fixed space-time gate directly connected to Hong Kong's Victoria Bay! If a big basket is poked out in another world, it is very likely to spread to Hong Kong in the real world, and even spread to the whole of South China! Not to mention anything else, just releasing a few evil gods or undead curses over is enough to choke Although it is true that there are some Hong Kong people who have forgotten their ancestors, and they make a lot of trouble in three days and two times, but most of the remaining Hong Kong compatriots, no matter how they say, are also Chinese!

However, this kind of thing is a completely uncontrollable risk, and no one knows what the expedition team will encounter in the other world, let alone what kind of butterfly effect will be caused by the change of the plot by the traverser, even if there is the original work of the plot world as a reference, it is useless to even drag the author here! Because anything can only describe a very small corner of the huge world, and when the plot world becomes real from words, anime, and film and television dramas, there are often many dangers and secrets that even the author does not know! What's more, in order to make up the 50,000 reward points for each person to be saved, and redeem people from the "main god system", the plot must be drastically changed, even if you don't want to toss!

In this case, in order to maximize the safety factor and prevent the disastrous consequences that suspicion and miscommunication may bring to the country, it is more important to motivate and please Wang Qiu, who is the core figure of crossing the other world, and let his mother Wang Meiling serve as the mayor of Arnous City, it is a good safety gate Wang Qiu can not worry about being released by his direct boss, wearing small shoes and stabbing in the back, so as to use his energy in the right place: if it is about the degree of concentricity between the upper and lower levels, Where else can there be more trust between a mother and a son?

And the relevant departments can also ensure that Wang Qiu will do his best in his work and never hide the truth: if there is a mess, his mother will be the first to suffer!

I witnessed first-hand the deception, deception, disregard for human life, and finally irresponsibility of TEPCO during the Fukushima nuclear crisis...... The central leaders are worried that in this exploration of the other world, if someone is unhappy, they will also play a similar trick of death.

Of course, if there is no chaos, Wang Meiling's exceptional promotion this time is equivalent to smoking from the ancestral tomb and going straight to the clouds......

Well? Comrade Wang Meiling's exceptional promotion does not conform to organizational procedures? Haven't heard of special events? Don't be so bureaucratic in your thinking! What's more, why bother with such a rigid clause for a city that will disappear from the Chinese government's jurisdiction in a few years?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Compared with her mother Wang Meiling's nagging about the promotion, the absent-minded Wang Qiu paid more attention to the mayor's office. At first glance, it looks like a very ordinary modern office: a desk with a computer, bookshelves and cabinets by the walls, potted plants on the windowsill, a coffee table and a small sofa for guests...... But for some reason, it always gave him a rather subtle sense of incongruity.

It's just that when Wang Meiling finished squirting and sat down to drink tea and rest, Wang Qiu couldn't find out where the source of this sense of incongruity was, so he asked casually, "...... Well, then congratulations to my mother for becoming the mayor, but who is ********? ”

“……********？ You don't know? It's Lao Guo! Wang Meiling blinked, "...... Who else but him can do it? ”

Let Commissar Guo be Arnous's ********? All right...... This is indeed a very suitable candidate, at least it can make Wang Qiu more reassuring and convincing," ...... And what about me? Is there a place for me in the city's government team? He laughs.

“…… Absolutely! No matter who falls into the official hat of this place, it will never fall behind you! Son! ”

Wang Meiling replied with a grin, and at the same time took out a red-headed document from the drawer, "...... Well, this is the letter of appointment given to you by the superior department! The central leadership has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility this time! Prepare for you to be the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the new city of Arnus......"

Well, that sounds like the commander of the city defense? Or is it the chief of public security? Or even the commander of the Otherworldly Expeditionary Force? Wang Qiu pondered.

“…… Therefore, after research, it was decided to appoint Comrade Wang Qiu as the captain of the urban management brigade of Arnus City. ”

Huh? Did I hear me right? Even if it's in another world, in the end, let me be the city manager?!! This is too lo, isn't it?!!!
