"Thanks."
Hearing the old man take the initiative to say that he wanted to give him a can of good tea, Duanmu Feng pursed his lips and said something grateful.
This thank you was not because of the pot of tea itself, but because of the old man's attitude. As the head of the capital, he did not expect that he could be so at home with him.
However, his heart also fell into a deep depression from the moment he entered this room, because just as he guessed, this capital was no longer the same person as before.
Everything seemed to have undergone a huge transformation with his time travel and rebirth, as if it had become a completely different world.
"I have heard rumors about you for a long time. I know that you have activated the geothermal energy space station in Hubei City that was originally banned by the country. Although it violates the relevant regulations, it is still worthy of recognition for bringing light and warmth to the local people."
"I also know that you not only own armed helicopters, but you even own a ship. Compared with the other eight forces, you are unique in terms of personal ability and overall strength."
"No matter whether this mission can be completed successfully or not, I hope you can lead the tens of thousands of bosses in the City of Hope to persevere. They need you."
The old man looked at Duanmu Feng and said meaningfully. There were praises and expectations in his words.
"I will."
Duan Mufeng didn't express too much, he just nodded affirmatively and said briefly.
He didn't feel too excited or emotional about the compliment from the capital, because that was not what he did those things for from the beginning.
What made him nervous was that the head of the government seemed to know everything about the City of Hope, including himself.
In the last days, when communications were so blocked, nothing was hidden from Kyoto. This was something that made him nervous.
If his guess is correct, Kyoto Prefecture must have an insider in the City of Hope and has been in contact with Kyoto Prefecture.
However, there are tens of thousands of survivors in the City of Hope. There is no way of knowing who this person is. Maybe he is someone from the Tianlong Guard, or one of the tens of thousands of ordinary survivors.
Or perhaps, this so-called insider is not just one person at all!
"Of course, the country also needs you, so if you are willing, you can join us after this mission is over. You can stay, or you can continue to return to the City of Hope."
"We are in the end of the world, and everything is waiting for improvement. We need talents like you."
The old man looked at Duanmu Feng and said extremely seriously.
This is in Zhao'an!
"Thank you for your trust, but I think it's good now. I'm a person who doesn't like to be restrained, so I'm afraid I will disappoint the governor."
But as soon as the old man finished speaking, Duanmu Feng gave his answer without hesitation.
In fact, he already understood the meaning of the old man's words when he was halfway through speaking, and he had already made a decision at that time.
Facing Duanmu Feng's rejection, the old man was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but fall into silence.
He thought Duanmu Feng would refuse, but he didn't expect his refusal to be so straightforward and decisive.
Dong Jianguo and the girl standing aside were also stunned, as if they couldn't understand Duan Mufeng's rejection for a while.
Who could have imagined that the solicitation from the head of the country could be so easily rejected?
Dong Jianguo stood there not knowing what to do, and even wished that he was not here at all, then the atmosphere might be much better than the current embarrassing situation.
But now it was too late for him to leave, so he could only pretend to be deaf and mute, pretend not to hear anything, and continue to maintain the silence he should have.
However, he had an indescribable admiration for Duan Mufeng in his heart. After all, there would be no second person in China who had the courage to refuse the man personally recruited by the capital, because once he was willing to surrender, he would not have to do it again from now on. Worry about supplies.
Materials are the basis for survival in the apocalypse. Without materials, no matter how strong a person is, he will not be able to last long.
"Well, now that you have made your choice, I won't force you to do anything difficult."
"But if you change your mind in the future, you can come to me at any time. What I just said will always be valid."
After the old man was silent for a moment, he smiled bitterly and said slowly.
He did not feel any dissatisfaction because of Duan Mufeng's rejection, and he still looked calm and amiable.
"Thanks."
Duan Mufeng nodded slowly with a hint of respect and responded briefly again.
When things got to this point, he could only answer like this. It was not appropriate to say one more word.
"Then I leave all this mission to you. Our scientists are here to preserve human civilization and don't want the world to be destroyed. That's why we are willing to go deep into the hinterland of the glacier, hoping to find out what this sudden glacier is. what happened."
"Whether he succeeds or not, he is a hero and I hope you can bring him back alive, if he is still alive."
The old man changed the subject, looked at Duan Mufeng with a sincere face and warned.
"Don't worry, since I agreed to participate in this mission, I will go all out."
Duan Mufeng nodded and gave an equally affirmative answer.
Although he knew that the missing scientist might not be able to find the answer even if he turned the northern glacier upside down, he still had an inexplicable respect for that man. A man who was willing to put himself in danger for the sake of the earth and mankind. How could he All worthy of respect.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. No one knows what kind of dangers there are in the hinterland of the glacier, so be careful."
The old man nodded with satisfaction and said slowly.
"Okay, but I hope the capital can grant me one request."
Duan Mufeng agreed and changed the subject.
Hearing Duan Mufeng's words, Dong Jianguo on the side couldn't help but sweat before the old man could react. He didn't expect that Duan Mufeng would dare to raise conditions in front of the capital.
"you say."
The old man smiled and raised his hand to signal, as if he was not surprised.
"I need a lot of weapons and ammunition, but you can rest assured that I don't want these to start a war with anyone, I just want to better protect the survivors in the City of Hope."
Duanmu Feng paused and said slowly.
"Okay! I promise you, and I will promise you more than this time. Whatever you need in the future, as long as Kyoto has it, you can always come to me and ask for it."
"If the scientist can be successfully rescued this time, the bonus from the mission will be doubled to you."
The old man also agreed to Duanmu Feng's request without hesitation, without even blinking.
"I don't want money."
But Duan Mufeng shook his head decisively and refused again.
"Not a cent?"
The old man was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.
Duan Mufeng smiled and nodded with certainty.
"I know what you are thinking, but even though it is the end of the world and money can no longer circulate, having money is better than having no money. Sooner or later, order will be restored and you will be able to use it sooner or later."
The old man said with a wry smile.
“I can get what I want without spending any money.”
Duanmu Feng waved his hand and said confidently.
After hearing his words, the three people in the room were stunned again, and a look of surprise flashed across their faces.
Duanmufeng's confidence and calmness had already exceeded their expectations.
"Okay, I respect your decision, so I wish you in advance that you can lead the rescue team back in triumph."
"please."
The old man smiled appreciatively and finally said something extremely sincere.
Duanmu Feng nodded, drank all the tea in the cup, stood up slowly, and nodded slightly to the old man as he did when he first came in, then turned around and walked straight to the door.
The moment he turned around, he saw the old man's name signed on the unfolded document on his desk.
Jin Ping.
It turns out that the name of the head of the government is Jin Ping.
After remembering this meaningful name in his mind, Duanmu Feng opened the door and left.
Jin Ping, the head of the government, looked at Duan Mufeng's tall and straight back, with an unconcealed appreciation flashing in his eyes, and nodded affirmatively.
After arriving outside the villa, Duan Mufeng leaned against the stone wall at the door, slowly took out a cigarette and lit it.
He didn't tell Jin Ping that he knew almost all the secrets of the apocalypse, because rebirth itself was a fantasy and sounded more like nonsense.
Moreover, he doesn't want everyone to regard him as a monster.
He hoped that the scientist was still alive, but if nothing unexpected happened, the hope of survival might have been very slim.
Trying to find out the cause of climate change is simply asking for a dead end, because no matter how much you check, you will never find the answer. This is a serious damage to the earth by alien species, and it is not the normal process of nature at all.
After a while, Dong Jianguo slowly walked out of the villa, and then took Duan Mufeng into the car. After returning to the meeting place to pick up Jin Ling, he personally sent Duan Mufeng to the most upscale hotel in Kyoto...
