Chapter 404: The New Minister

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

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 seed void of expressions. The next mont, a beam of highly energized particles instantly crashed through his body.

He hissed softly. His body began to beco 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 kiloter long. Thus, its energy would be much weaker as it was rely 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 so 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. anwhile, the top managent 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 n and soldiers had either died or escaped!

The purge soon extended, causing many of the evolved n 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 seed peaceful everywhere now.

The command was abrupt. In the early days of the apocalypse, the evolved n were still very weak. A few of the well-trained soldiers could easily kill a weak evolved man. During the great purge, the ard forces were well-prepared for the battle. Not many soldiers died and it turned out to be a one-sided massacre.

The evolved n were incapable of striking back. But under such circumstances, the attacks had subsided all of a sudden. Those evolved n 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 departnt. No one knew what had happened but there were so 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 imdiately brought him so 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 co here? Be wary of the radiation!"

"You don’t need to care about ," 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 ? 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 this before. He’ll be here today?"

"Yes, it’s already half past eight now!" The secretary could not help but said, "His na is Luo Yuan. Please don’t forget this later."

"Is my mory that bad? Hopefully, he turns out to be a friendly person." He slightly frowned and said, "The Reconstruction Area still had ill-feelings about and wanted to decentralize the power."

"Please calm down!" The secretary was worried. They had built extraordinary relationships as their relationships were not only between secretary and minister but had also comprised family and love. She did not want anything to happen to him.

"Don’t worry. Everything will be fine, as long as he is not bothering ." He was grinning, bearing his white teeth, but his eyes remained cold.

He knew that the day would co. However, he was not eager for power. True strength and abilities were what he had been pursuing.

"Do you know his strength and abilities?" He mumbled, looking at the secretary as if she had sothing to remind him once more. He said with a smile, "Don’t worry, we’ll unite as one. I’ve heard about this many tis, and I believe he must have his abilities if he were to be appointed to undertake this position."

"Where is he from?" He asked.

"He’s from Hope City!"

"If I’m not mistaken, it’s Lin Feiyan’s territory, the woman with very strange abilities." He said with hesitance.

"He is the deputy team leader," said the secretary.

He was stunned and highly doubted this, as it did not make sense to him. Even if the rate of promotions had been faster in the Firearms Bureau as compared to other governnt departnts, he had never been appointed as a team leader prior to this. Instead, he was directly elected as a vice minister. This did not make sense at all.

Sothing unbeknownst to him must have happened. "What’s happening in the Reconstruction Area?" He asked.

The secretary shook her head, as she did not know anything as well.

...

His curiosity was aroused. Having seldom co back to the office, he sat for a while and handled so unimportant docunts. Suddenly, he stood up as if he sensed sothing. He drew the curtains and saw a car slowly entering the Firearms Bureau.

One of the deputy ministers of the Organization Departnt and a stranger who was donning black from top to toe had alighted the car.

At the sa ti, he raised his head as he had sensed sothing too.

Both of them exchanged glances and smiled at each other. They then shifted their gaze.

The deputy minister of the Organization Departnt glanced at Luo Yuan and said, "He is also the vice minister of the Firearms Bureau. His na is Ling Zhong-an. There’s sothing fascinating about him!"

"What’s that about?" Luo Yuan answered.

"During the migration after the apocalypse, Minister Ling and his lover were separated in the crowd. When he found her, she was already married and they left each other with remorse.

His lover’s husband worked as a governnt personnel, and during that ti, he was already a vice minister. As soon as his lover’s husband knew about this, he divorced his wife and sent her to the Firearms Bureau.

"Then what happened next? Are both of them married now?" Luo Yuan asked curiously. It would not be anything out of the ordinary if they were both married, so he believed that sothing else must have happened.

"No. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding between them, which caused them to bicker. They then parted in discord. However, Minister Ling did not give up and no one knew what he had done. Soon enough his lover is now his secretary!"

Luo Yuan looked at him as if he had understood sothing. He was surprised in the first place wondering why a deputy minister would tell him so much about another person’s private affairs. He now realized that the deputy minister was trying to remind him about sothing.

Obviously, he knew that he should not ntion the vice minister’s secretary in front of him.

As soon as Luo Yuan regained his senses, he felt that sothing was not right. Why did the deputy minister deliberately remind him as such?

Did they consider him a womanizer?
