Dawn of a New Era

Qian Pengcheng looked to be in his fifties, with a dark and thin figure, wearing an old-fashioned coat, and a few sparse hairs on the top of his half-bald head, swaying firmly and slightly in the breeze.

If it weren't for his self-exposed identity, Chen Shouyi would have no idea that this little old man is a district mayor, no, the current acting mayor!

He shook hands with Chen Shouyi and Zhang Miaomiao respectively, and finally held Chen Shouyi tightly. The transparent blisters at the corner of his mouth became glistening, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"General Counselor Chen, I saw your name in Renren Daily, we are relieved if you can come!"

Chen Shouyi struggled lightly, but the other party didn't seem to notice, so he had no choice but to endure the discomfort, allowing an old man to hold his hand tightly, and said: "Mayor Qian, please be polite, I will do my best, you Can you let go of your hand first!"

"Sorry, sorry, I'm so excited." Qian Pengcheng reacted, embarrassed, and quickly let go of his hand: "Then let's go to the temporary city hall first, the conditions are a bit rough, I hope you two don't care!"

It was said that the conditions were poor, but Chen Shouyi didn't know what a poor condition was until he actually saw it!

The two walked to the parking lot of the building, only to see two bicycles in the empty parking lot.

"It's really negligent. Now cars are easily attacked by barbarians. Bicycles are the safest and less conspicuous." Qian Pengcheng quickly explained.

"Is it already this serious?" Zhang Miaomiao asked with a sinking heart.

"It's more serious than what I said. Knowing that I am a district mayor, why am I the interim mayor now? It's because the person in front of me either got sick temporarily or died, so I had to take the top. A trace of self-mockery flashed across Qian Pengcheng's face, and then he sighed and said, "Now even the officers of the guard force have changed."

Zhang Miaomiao's face was silent. If the terrible barbarian in Hedong a few days ago had not been defeated and killed by General Advisor Chen, Hedong City would have become like this.

No matter how many troops there are, it will be useless under the beheading tactic.

There are always times when defense is lax. There is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to defend against a thief for a thousand days.

Qian Pengcheng said enthusiastically: "Stop talking, General Counsel, you can take my car, it's only a few minutes!"

"No, I'll ride by myself!" Chen Shouyi said out loud.

"Director Zhang, come and take you!" Qian Pengcheng looked at Zhang Miaomiao again and said

"I don't need it either, I'll sit with the general counsel!" Zhang Miaomiao said hastily. Anyone who wants to ride in your car smells like smoke and greasy.

Chen Shouyi naturally had no objection to Zhang Miaomiao wanting to take his own car.

She estimated that it would weigh less than a hundred catties, and he wouldn't be much tired either!

As soon as Chen Shouyi got on the bike, Zhang Miaomiao trotted for two steps, skillfully sat sideways on the back seat, and naturally put his arms around his waist.

Chen Shouyi's body tensed up slightly, but he soon relaxed again.

When he left the parking lot, Chen Shouyi keenly noticed that Qian Pengcheng didn't come alone. There was also a middle-aged man in casual clothes who was riding a bicycle on the road to secretly protect him. He was probably a warrior here.

The three of them didn't speak, but just rode silently.

Perhaps because of the martial law of the soldiers, the road was relatively safe, and there was no sign of chaos.

In fact, beheading tactics are useful to humans, but not very useful.

In a mature and stable government, no one is absolutely irreplaceable. The huge civil servants go down to the grass-roots level. Even if all the upper levels are removed, there will be no collapse-like chaos, and it will soon regain stability. down.

But if this fear continues, when everyone is in danger, the city will completely collapse.

After a few minutes, the bicycle drove into a heavily guarded park, and finally stopped in front of a blue brick building from the 1950s and 1960s.

There are several big red characters written on it:

"Entrance and Exit of Civil Air Defense Fortifications"

Chen Shouyi was stunned and got off the bicycle.

This is too exaggerated.

It's almost like an underground party.

Qian Pengcheng seemed to feel the surprise of the two, and opened the iron gate outside,

One side explained with a hoarse voice: "For the sake of safety, there is no way to do this, otherwise everyone will not be able to work with peace of mind!"

Chen Shouyi nodded and remained silent.

The three of them walked inside, only to find that the inside was loose outside and the inside was tight. More than two hundred meters away from the passage, there were two armored vehicles lined up side by side, each with two 35mm rapid-fire guns aimed at the entrance and exit.

This kind of gun is generally loaded with shrapnel, which contains gunpowder, small steel balls or steel arrows, iron pieces, etc. The warhead is equipped with a timed fuze, which can explode over the intended target or after hitting it. As long as barbarians dare to come in, even legendary The strong, in this narrow and inescapable space, also want to drink their hatred.

And there are more than one such defenses, every other section has a similar arrangement.

Zhang Miaomiao looked at the gasoline lamps on the wall and asked, "Is there a power outage here?"

Now the main cities in Jiangnan Province have restored power supply after the circuit renovation.

"The power line was damaged a few days ago, but the phone can still be connected!" Qian Pengcheng explained.

In the depths of the air-raid shelter, the number of people gradually increased.

Not long after, the interim senior city official and a group of people greeted him enthusiastically.

After the ceremony.

The senior city officials immediately invited the two to the meeting room and talked about the situation in Dongxing City.

Chen Shouyi found that Dongxing City was already in a bad situation. There were attacks every day these days. There were quite a few attackers, and none of them were ordinary barbarians. Not only were they powerful, but they were also extremely cunning. Even the only two great warriors in the local area have already sacrificed one after another.

So far, only five barbarians have been killed.

Behind every kill, there is a heavy price to pay.

Dongxing City is located on the edge of Dongning, and it is obviously the key target of the attack.

While he was talking, there was a knock on the door, and after the senior city official said please come in, a secretary walked in quickly, and whispered in the ear of the other party with a dignified expression: "There are a small number of people in Haicheng District who are walking on the street and shouting slogans. demand... demand..."

"Don't hesitate, what do you want?" the senior city official interrupted.

"Demand not to war, but to peace, faith to the gods, secularism to the government!"

"It's just stupid, there must be cultists instigating it!" The senior city official slammed the table, his face flushed with anger, and his neck was bruised.

In front of the special commissioner of the province and the general counsel of the province, such a big mess happened, which really made him a little embarrassed.

Dongxing City is too close to Dongning. Out of fear of the gods and pessimism about the future, he has known for a long time that many foolish people, especially in some rural areas in the suburbs, secretly believe in the gods in order to pray peace of mind.

Even formed some secret underground circles.

Although the city government went deep into the grassroots to carry out regular and repeated publicity, and severely cracked down on those who believed in the wild gods, it is a pity that this cannot be eliminated at all. Coupled with the belief in the wild gods, it has indeed produced some tangible effects, and it has gradually become a trend of flooding.

"How is the situation now?"

"The team has been dispersed by soldiers, but one soldier died," the secretary said.

"What's going on?" The face of the senior city official changed.

"When the soldier was dispersing, he was stabbed by the murderer taking advantage of the confusion, and then mixed in with the crowd. He has not been found yet!"
