#74 - Chapter 74: Mutants Found

"Oh, hello, hello. May I ask what brings you gentlemen to Meilin?" Mayor Gong was a little nervous.

"It's like this, we need Mayor Gong to help coordinate and gather all the asymptomatic carriers in the resettlement area. We need to take them back to the capital," the man said.

"But didn't the people from the Security Bureau already take them away?" Mayor Gong asked.

"Taken away? When?" the man asked, puzzled.

"It was not long after the virus outbreak. We were still in Binjiang at the time. This place is the first city where the virus broke out, so several groups of people came here one after another, including the Emergency Response Department, the Health Department, the Security Bureau, and the Southeast Military Region. I don't know exactly where the people are now," Mayor Gong said, recalling.

"Have you found any new asymptomatic carriers recently?" the man frowned and asked.

"It doesn't seem like it," Mayor Gong thought for a moment, then shook his head.

The people from the Military and Political Department didn't say much and turned to leave. They were ordered to conscript all asymptomatic carriers in the country to screen for potential mutants. Other matters were irrelevant to them, and they didn't want to get involved. As for where the people were taken, they wouldn't care.

"What's that?" As they were leaving, they saw many people building an iron tower in the distance.

Another person looked through the car window and shook his head.

"Let's go, go take a look," the leader said.

The driver turned the steering wheel and drove towards the signal tower.

"Who are you looking for?" Shen Wengang, who was helping nearby, saw several people getting out of the car and walking over, and asked.

"You actually have guns?" the leader asked without answering his question.

"We have a gun license, so of course we can carry guns. Who are you looking for?" Shen Wengang saw that the people were wearing military uniforms and explained slightly.

"Interesting! What is that?" The leader thought for a moment and understood. The gun license was probably issued by the resettlement area itself. However, in special times, it was understandable. So he stopped dwelling on the gun issue and pointed to the signal tower in the distance and continued to ask.

"What exactly do you want?" Shen Wengang was a little annoyed that the other party was ignoring his question.

"Answer what you're asked, why so many questions?" another officer next to him scolded.

"You! If you have nothing to do, please leave," Shen Wengang said, suppressing his anger, not wanting to offend them.

"Courting death!" As he said that, the officer punched him.

Shen Wengang stood still and raised his hand to grip the incoming fist as if it were effortless.

The officer frowned and tried to withdraw his fist, but couldn't pull it out.

The leading officer noticed something was wrong and looked over curiously.

A few seconds later, Shen Wengang let go. The officer whose hand was pinched suddenly lost his balance and fell backward, supported by another person.

The officer wanted to rush up again, but was stopped by the leading officer raising his hand.

"What's your name?" the leading officer asked.

"Why should I tell you? Do you have something to say or not? If not, leave quickly!" Shen Wengang replied unhappily.

These people were so arrogant that he didn't want to give them a good look.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Duan Bing, the chief of the Second Division of the Security Bureau under the Military and Political Department," Duan Bing reached out his hand to shake Shen Wengang's hand.

"Tiangang," Shen Wengang gave him some face when he saw that the other party was being polite.

After all, the other party was wearing a military uniform, so it was better not to provoke them if possible.

"Tiangang? Not your real name, is it?" Duan Bing smiled.

"My name is Tiangang," Shen Wengang said.

Duan Bing didn't continue to dwell on this topic, but asked:

"Are you a mutant?"

"You know about mutants?" Shen Wengang was surprised.

Duan Bing was also very surprised. He didn't expect that this guy named Tiangang also knew about mutants. You should know that this name was taken by their secret experimental group themselves. It seems that there are many people outside who know about mutants.

"That's right, we're here for this matter too. I wonder if Brother Tiangang is interested in coming back to the Military and Political Department with us?" Duan Bing decisively extended an invitation.

This was a mutant he got for free, so why not take him?

"No interest," Shen Wengang refused without even thinking.

"Don't go too far!" the officer next to him, whose anger hadn't subsided, scolded.

Duan Bing patted the officer's shoulder, signaling him not to be impulsive.

"Brother Tiangang, we have no ill intentions. This time we came to Meilin under the order of the Speaker to find mutants. With your good skills, you should show your talents and serve the country," Duan Bing persuaded earnestly.

"Brother, who are they?" Luo'er saw Shen Wengang talking to the people, and it seemed like they had fought, so she came over and asked.

"Don't know them," Shen Wengang replied, then looked at the people and continued:

"I don't care what you're here for. I'm not interested in going with you, please leave."

Shen Wengang didn't give these impolite officers a good look at all.

"Okay, then we'll leave first," Duan Bing said.

The other two people next to him were full of dissatisfaction and doubt, why did he compromise? Duan Bing didn't explain and told the two to get in the car and leave.

Mayor Gong's office.

"Do you gentlemen have anything else?" Mayor Gong asked, puzzled, seeing the three officers return.
