Chapter 185 Meeting with the Deputy Director
Official residence of the shelter, family building
A one-bedroom, one-living room apartment with ordinary decoration.
Sheng Wentao was wrapped in a thick quilt, looking at the three dusty people in front of him with a confused look on his face.
He said helplessly:
"Old He, what time is it now? Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"
He had already fallen asleep, but was pulled out of bed by He Yewei.
The person who was speaking was once the director of the mayor's office in City N, responsible for organizing and coordinating the daily work of the mayor's office.
After the end of the world came, all the leaders above him died or turned into zombies because of the disaster.
Instead, he unexpectedly became the second highest-ranking official in the shelter and was promoted to the second-in-command of the shelter - deputy director.
His superior is the former mayor and current director of the shelter - Fang Xiong.
"Old Sheng, I came to see you this time for something important. Come, let me introduce two young men to you first."
As he said this, he looked at Lu Jingcheng and Li Luo who were sitting on his left.
He first pulled Lu Jingcheng over to introduce him.
"This is the captain of Team 1 of the Fiery Team, Comrade Lu Jingcheng."
When Sheng Wentao heard the words "Fire Team", his eyes lit up.
Wow, this young man is not simple, he is actually a member of the famous Fire Team and the captain of the team!
Incredible, incredible!
Sheng Wentao quickly stood up, shook hands with Lu Jingcheng enthusiastically, and praised him:
"Hello, Captain Lu! It's true that the waves behind push the waves ahead, and each generation is stronger than the previous one!"
When Sheng Wentao stood up, Lu Jingcheng stood up as well. He smiled faintly and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:
"Hello, Deputy Director Sheng. Thank you for your compliment."
Ordinary people may not have any impression of the Fire Team, or even have never heard of it, but they, the official personnel, are all familiar with the name of the Fire Team.
Because the Fire Team carries out missions in various places throughout the year, it is inevitable to interact with the local government.
The instructions given by the higher-ups to these local governments have always been:
"When you encounter the Fire Squad on a mission, you must cooperate to the best of your ability at the first opportunity."
This sentence is not as simple as it seems.
In other words, they must unconditionally support and cooperate with any requests made by the Fire Team during their mission.
This is equivalent to giving the Fire Team absolute "power"!
This is indeed the case. When not on a mission, the Fire Team is just a special forces unit, but when they are on a mission, they have absolute "power"!
Even local armed forces can be mobilized!
Of course, this must be approved by Xu Ying.
Lu Jingcheng serves as the team leader of such a special force.
Sheng Wentao dared not be negligent.
After the two of them exchanged greetings for a while and sat down, He Yewei looked at Li Luo and introduced him:
"This is Comrade Li Luo, a powerful gold-type psychic."
Hearing this, Sheng Wentao's gaze shifted to Li Luo's face.
Looking at the girl in front of him who was wearing a mask and covering herself tightly, he felt confused.
Strong? How strong can it be?
Although Sheng Wentao had some doubts about Li Luo in his heart, he did not show it on his face and said enthusiastically:
"Hello, Comrade Li Luo. Heroes emerge from youth, and women are just as brave as men!"
"Hello, Deputy Director Sheng!" Li Luo was not modest and accepted Sheng Wentao's praise frankly.
Sheng Wentao has been in officialdom for many years and is an old fox in the ways of the world. He will not easily reveal his true thoughts to anyone.
But Li Luo doesn't care about what other people think at all.
It doesn’t matter, she will take action anyway!
In this way, there were no problems in the communication between the two.
However, Li Luo really had no impression of the person in front of him.
This is normal, because these big shots are not Li Luo in the previous life, who can be seen whenever he wants.
Li Luo had only met the base commander once.
It was when the base had successfully fought off the zombie horde and was holding a celebration banquet. As a waitress at the venue, she glanced at the base commander from afar when he took the stage to give a speech and couldn't even see what he looked like.
At that time, Li Luo was struggling for survival every day and had no time or interest to think about anything else.
After carefully observing Sheng Wentao, Li Luo came to a conclusion:
These big shots are no different from ordinary people.
Now that we've introduced ourselves, it's time to get down to business.
He Yewei looked at Sheng Wentao and said:
"Old Sheng, haven't you been worrying about the shelter and the construction of the city wall? I came here this time just to discuss this with you!"
When it comes to serious matters, Sheng Wentao also becomes serious.
"Tell me in detail!"
half an hour later
Four people came back from outside
Sheng Wentao was beaming with joy:
"Old He, you really helped me a lot!
Captain Lu, Comrade Li Luo, you two are really like this!"
As he said this, he gave the two of them two thumbs up.
Sheng Wentao was really happy that the wall of the shelter was finally built.
He was among the first group of people to move into the shelter, arriving on the first day of the apocalypse.
At the very beginning, the shelter had no walls at all. It was built entirely because of the requirements from above!
Everyone has read the posts on the Internet. Natural disasters may be a little bit possible, but zombies are completely nonsense.
No one thought about building a city wall, and the plans that were made were all aimed at natural disasters.
However, after seeing those man-eating monsters, Sheng Wentao has been worried about the city wall.
The officials held several meetings on the construction of the city wall.
The layer of bricks outside the shelter now, built into a wall, is the prototype of the city wall.
However, there was a shortage of manpower in the early stage as everyone was busy with rescue work, and in the later stage there were both high temperatures and floods.
The flood did not come over, but the rain was heavy, and it was impossible to continue building the city wall under such circumstances.
This led to the project of building the city wall being delayed again and again.
The extreme cold has arrived these days, so construction can begin, but building materials have become a major problem.
The materials collected previously were no longer usable due to the double blow of heavy rain and extreme cold.
However, the sky is the limit!
Didn’t He Yewei come to his rescue today?
Sheng Wentao recalled the extraordinary supernatural powers that Li Luo and Lu Jingcheng had demonstrated just now.
I feel more confident!
With the two of them here, plus the supernatural beings in the shelter, and the construction team under his command!
The city wall will be built soon!
After they discussed a few details in the living room, He Yewei took Lu Jingcheng and Li Luo and left.
"Old Sheng, it's too late today. I'll ask you to communicate with Director Fang about this matter. Please contact me in time if you have any news."
"Don't worry, I can take care of this matter, don't worry!"
"You can decide what happens to the wall, but can you decide what happens to the survivors?"
"Oh, that's long-winded, I get it!"
