Although this crusade against the Nandu base was bumpy, it ended successfully.
"Instructor Wang..."
In the conference room, Wang Shuzhu, Wang Dashan and others were sitting. Only the former second chief Wu Ruida stood awkwardly in the middle of the conference room.
Putting aside his position, he was a little out of place in a room full of third-level evolvers, and he was the only second-level Karami... Lin Mu stopped comparing the ranges.
"Chief Wu, I understand what happened."
Wang Shuzhu glanced at the old man whom he once respected and looked up to: "To be honest, apart from the damage to the reputation of my Wang family, the rest is not serious. As for the things you did, I am too lazy to pursue them now."
"But please tell me where Wang Tiancheng went."
Wu Ruida was stunned: "Isn't Brother Wang locked up with other people?"
Wang Shuzhu showed a hint of disappointment and shook his head gently.
She doesn't have deep feelings for her unqualified father, but the Wang family still needs him to take charge of the overall situation.
"Wang Tiancheng aside, look at the next handover of Nandu Base, Chief..."
Wu Ruida glanced at Lin Mu, who was lying on the table without saying a word, with complicated eyes: "I will fully cooperate."
Li Side and others were imprisoned, so the vacant position was left empty. Anyway, they were still a group of guys who had nothing to do with the corpse position, so removing it was just right.
The rest doesn't matter how honest he is or which side he is on, but he is smart enough and has enough power in his hands.
As for sincere support for Wu Ruida, there is not much. After all, in the final analysis, he is only the "second in command" - unless the real leader of Nandu Base comes back, to them, the surname of the current boss will not matter.
Now that the civil war has just ended, the situation is a bit delicate. Wu Ruida announced at this time that Wang Shuzhu will take over, and most officials just let it go. This shows how miserable Wu Ruida, the nominal "chief", actually is...
After struggling for a long time, Lin Mu, who had nothing to do, could be regarded as witnessing the change of ownership of Nandu Base.
There is no complexity as imagined, because in the face of absolute strength, all complex processes can be simplified to the extreme.
... As the sun set, Lin Mu stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at the revitalized Nandu New City at the foot of the mountain, feeling quite emotional.
As the apocalypse accelerates, everyone seems to be becoming more and more rational, or more and more numb.
It has been nearly two months since the apocalypse broke out, and everyone has already seen the reality clearly. Any extra thoughts are just extravagant hopes-except for staying alive.
For most of the working people here, they don't know whether Nandu Base has changed hands. They only know that it is nice to have a half-day rest due to the brief turmoil.
Hey, sometimes it’s better to be a little numb in life...
At a certain moment, the sunset completely sets.
Lin Mu counted with his fingers and realized that the time had come.
Take out a brand new "phone card" from the black hole space - it's not from Sushi, but from the pretty boy Xiao Hei.
"Being there soon!!" Like sushi, the other party's voice directly entered Lin Mu's mind.
"good."
A few minutes later, a white light flashed in front of Lin Mu's eyes, and another person appeared in the open space.
One person and one ant, big eyes staring at small eyes.
"What, the hood is welded to your head and you can't take it off?" Flame text floated in the air.
The pretty boy Xiao Hei was speechless: "Wait a minute, don't rush to get close to me. I'll ask you a few more questions..."
"May I have your name?"
"Lin Mu."
"What is my name?"
"Zhou Hongguang."
"Your birthday and my birthday?"
"You are on October 1, 2099, and I am one day older than you."
"...How many dates have you had? Who was the last one?"
"Fishing and enforcing the law, right? I am very dedicated. I have only loved Zeng Ziyu in my life!"
"You should ask yourself that! There is one for Daming, one for Lakeside, and three for Xia, Yu, and He."
When he heard this, Zhou Hongguang couldn't help but get excited, and he had already identified Lin Mu's identity in his heart.
Lin Mu continued to write: "As of the end of the world, your last girlfriend should be Xiaodong... How is Xiaodong now?"
Zhou Hongguang, shrouded in a black robe, was startled and said in a low tone: "She didn't survive the first wave of mutations and turned into a zombie and was killed by me..."
"Feel sorry."
Having said this, Zhou Hongguang simply lifted the hood of his black robe and said, "Hey, don't talk about those sad things."
"It's easy to get addicted if you wear it for a long time. It's been so long since you've shown your true colors to others that it's a bit scary to take it off now."
The sunset has not yet faded, and orange-red rays of light fall on the boy's slightly fair face, with sharp edges and corners, and the scar scratched by a beer bottle on the eyebrow of his left eye can still be vaguely seen... Zhou Hongguang!
Not even seeing this face in his previous life for a whole ten years, Lin Mu couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief in his heart.
Zhou Hongguang was his childhood friend, and unlike Zeng Ziyu, Lin Mu and he had been in the same school, and even the same dormitory, from elementary school to university. For more than ten years, it could be said that they had shared joys and sorrows, and were like brothers!
Apart from his eldest brother Lin Qi, Lin Mu only recognized Zhou Hongguang as a brother.
There are three major bonds in life: family, friends and lover.
Lin Mu's lingering regrets from his previous life, the friend he couldn't find... He never expected to meet in this capacity and in this form!
The moment she heard his voice during the day, Lin Mu recognized his identity, and her heart was filled with emotions!
Never imagined!
Not only did Lin Mu never expect this, but Zhou Hongguang also didn’t expect:
"My hood is open, so stop pretending and take off this Ant-Man cosplay suit. Don't you think it's dirty when you lie down on the floor? How come you're so good at this after two months of not seeing me?"
Lin Mu:......
"It's a long story, I'm an ant now."
Zhou Hongguang still didn't believe it: "Don't make trouble, I guess this ant is your summoned beast, like a puppet? He's done well, he's become a summoner!"
"It's better to let your body come out quickly, I can't wait to embrace you passionately, hahaha!"
Lin Mu had no choice but to pass the blame: "In short, the night when the apocalypse broke out, I found a spirit card... I didn't know it at the time. It just happened like this out of nowhere."
Sure enough, Zhou Hongguang showed a puzzled but reasonable expression: "What's going on? How come there is such a spirit card?"
"My good brother, you are so miserable. How will I live in the future..." As a result, the guy's face changed and he cried out.
Lin Mu:......
"What a joke. No wonder I can't find you no matter how hard I look for you during this period."
"Have you ever looked for me?" Lin Mu was suddenly confused.
"More than just looking for it!" Zhou Hongguang had a stern look on his face, as if he had stabbed his brother in the crosshairs.
"On the day the apocalypse broke out, I went on a trip with Xiaodong. After I stabbed Xiaodong, I rushed back to school without stopping. I returned to school about a week later. I didn't find you, but I saw some strange messages... It should have been left by you, right? ?”
Lin Mu was dumbfounded. The so-called "information" was prepared by him for "Lin Mu" who didn't know whether it existed in this life. He didn't expect that Zhou Hongguang would see it accidentally.
"Then I'll look for you, but I searched all over Guangning City and couldn't find you. It turns out you turned into an ant and came to Nandu City."
Lin Mu was silent... Zhou Hongguang pieced together a few things that didn't match up, and he was stunned to come up with a wrong answer that was very close to the truth.
However, Lin Mu still had a question in his mind:
If Zhou Hongguang was looking for himself from the beginning, why was he not found in his previous life?
At this point of a week in the previous life, although I finally plucked up the courage to step out of the dormitory, I still wandered around the school, and stayed for almost half a month...
Logically speaking, the chance of the two meeting each other is still very high.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Zhou Hongguang did not find him in the dormitory and stayed away from the school.
Forget it, I can’t figure it out. After all, because of his rebirth, some things involving him deviated greatly from his previous life... Maybe Zhou Hongguang in his previous life didn't come back to find him at all?
The fire barrage scrolled: "Emmm, that's what you said...tell me about you, what are you doing now? It's mysterious, like a pyramid scheme."
Zhou Hongguang sighed: "It's also a long story. It may be a bit beyond your knowledge, and it even involves the truth of this doomsday... You have to be patient and listen to me."
"After she stabbed Xiaodong, she revealed a spirit card to me."
Are you also blaming Lingka? Do you want to be so tacit?
"I'm just like you, I don't know anything and just use it in a daze. Guess what happened?"
"I was chosen to be the messenger of the gods!"
Lin Mu's heart was shocked and full of disbelief: "Are there really gods in the world?"
Zhou Hongguang is not sure either: "...There should be some. Maybe they are a group of very powerful evolvers. Their power is far beyond what you and I imagine."
"The key is that after I was selected, I gained a series of inherited abilities. The feeling is indescribable."
"I not only know whether they are real gods, I only know who I am now, Gaga Qiang!"
"It's a pity that due to rules, I can't tell you the name of that god for the time being."
Lin Mu could not calm down the shock in his heart for a long time.
Then something moved in his heart, and he took over Zhou Hongguang's words: "Can we talk about it later?"
"Yes, but it must be after level 4... In fact, before level 3, I can only be considered an accurate messenger. If I talk about it everywhere before level 4, the boss will find me embarrassing and kill me."
"...Then you continue."
"What did I just say... Let me tell you secretly, the other men in black robes are also messengers of gods, and they represent different gods."
No wonder, he also said how Sushi and Xiaolu are so strong and can master star-type skills at such a low level... Everything makes sense.
Speaking of this, Zhou Hongguang asked curiously: "By the way, how did you meet Sushi?"
Lin Mu asked back: "I heard your conversation today, doesn't she represent [Evolved Beast]? Isn't it normal for me to know her?"
"No! No! No!" Zhou Hongguang shook his finger, "Strictly speaking, she is just a messenger of a certain god who stands in the camp of evolved beasts. Her mission in walking the world is the same as mine. She can only observe and cannot take direct action. Intervene…or don’t go too far.”
"So in theory, she won't have any interaction with you. At most, she will give you some guidance when you are threatened by an abnormal doomsday process. She belongs to the type who just throws away the matter and hides her merits and fame."
Lin Mu suddenly understood again. No wonder Sushi's whereabouts were erratic and elusive. No wonder he had never heard of this group of black-robed men in his previous life.
Zhou Hongguang sighed: "Let's talk about your first meeting with her. If there is no valid reason, the girl will probably be doomed... The rules of the messenger of the gods are much more complicated than you think."
Lin Mu thought for a while and realized that he had nothing to hide from his brothers: "Because of the Lingka of Fortune, Luxury and Longevity."
Zhou Hongguang was stunned, with disbelief in his eyes: "How come you have that thing!? Show it to me!"
