Chapter 31, Urban Management Brigade Captain Wang Qiu (Part 1)
Just like the human kingdom in "Attack on Titan" that relied on circles of high walls to resist the giants, the new city now located on the Arnus Hill also has more than one city wall: in the core area near the space-time gate, there are also There is a slightly shorter city wall that divides the entire city into two urban areas: inner and outer. There is even a longitudinal city wall or causeway between the inner and outer walls, which connects the two walls together.
Compared with the modern urban architectural streetscape in the outer city between the two rings of city walls, the inner city of "Arnus City" is more like a large construction site, with large areas of simple and flat open space everywhere. , colorful tents and board houses, as well as a variety of construction machinery and facilities. At present, there are still only a few completed buildings in the inner city. However, the "door" connecting the two worlds is no longer exposed, but is protected in a giant building similar to Beijing's "Water Cube" National Swimming Pool. Inside the object, relevant departments call it a "containment vessel" - of course, out of practical needs, the outer wall of the containment vessel is made of opaque material, and the size of the door is comparable to a Boeing hangar.
At this time, the door of the containment vessel happened to be open, and military trucks painted with camouflage were coming and going, delivering various supplies to the frontline troops advancing into other worlds. On the side of the square outside the gate, there are many handymen in blue overalls and researchers in white coats who are busy sorting out samples of alien creatures to be transported back to modern Earth. Among them are a two-headed eagle, a snake with bat wings, and a jellyfish that can float in the air... They were all recently collected and placed in sturdy cages. There are also a bunch of weird otherworldly plants and mushrooms.
However, the most eye-catching thing is a large group of slimes placed in a fish tank. Each slime is only as big as a ping pong ball and comes in various colors, showing a translucent condensation. Gel-like, looks like a pile of colorful large jelly, and is still squirming slightly It moves and makes a cute sound of "puff, puff, puff"... It is obviously completely different from the disgusting and rancid slimes that Wang Qiu and the others saw in the swamp when they went out for reconnaissance. They looked and smelled like mud. Two species—perhaps worthy of being kept as pets?
On the other side of the square in front of the "Gate", there is currently a four-story reinforced concrete office building with an open corridor. Although the green belt downstairs has not been completed yet, a large row of various products has been parked at the door. Vehicles, and people wearing military uniforms, Chinese tunic suits and suits were coming and going - the electric sightseeing car carrying Wang Qiu and the others into the city stopped at the entrance of the office building with the "Provisional Municipal Government" sign. .
Then, Political Commissar Guo and other passengers were arranged by the doorman to have dinner, while Wang Qiu was led outside the mayor's office on the fourth floor... Then, when Wang Qiu pushed the door in, he was stunned to see an "impressive" The white-collar woman in a suit with a pair of ponytails, who is very mature and has a very pretty figure, raised her head from behind her desk and greeted her with a smile, "...Hey! Long time no see, son! How are you doing lately?"
"...Uh, long time no see, mom! Everything is fine with me..." Wang Qiu replied blankly with a look of embarrassment on his face.
——The first mayor of this colonial city in another world is surprisingly Wang Qiu’s biological mother, Comrade Wang Meiling...
Well, for Wang Qiu, who was born in a single-parent family, there is really no one closer than his mother in the world.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"...Fate is such a thing! It's really impossible to predict it! Anyway, I never thought before that I was just the director of a leprosy hospital in Shanghai and a retired superhuman. How could I be allowed to go to another world? You want to be the mayor? However, the central leadership came to talk to me and said, "The central government has decided that you will be the mayor." I said that I was not humble at all. After so many dozens of days People have no experience in managing a city all at once. However, the leadership comrade said, "We have already decided that it is you! This will make it easier for you to take care of your son nearby. Don't do it because of it. What kind of chaos could be caused by poor communication?', so later I read two lines of poetry, called 'If you live and die for the benefit of the country, how can you avoid it for the sake of misfortunes and fortunes?' So I went to a different world to be the mayor. Already..."
While Wang Meiling was chattering, she stood on tiptoes and patted Wang Qiu on the shoulder, "...Son, please help mom more in the future!"
Wang Qiu, on the other hand, was so embarrassed that he almost rolled his eyes - since he entered the system, he has been tossing and turning for so long, and now he is back under his mother's control? What kind of divine unfolding is this? And according to organizational procedures, my mother shouldn’t be qualified to be the mayor, right?
Of course, with just a little thought, Wang Qiu’s experience and mind can probably understand the central leadership’s difficulties regarding this exceptional promotion: in the several time-travel missions that Wang Qiu and the others carried out before, they basically failed to complete the mission until the end every time. The place is almost full of corpses and rivers of blood. At least one person is dead. In units of millions, there are countless tragic tragedies... The past few tragedies happened in another world and were not directly connected to the real world. Therefore, no matter how exaggerated and tragic Wang Qiu and the others made, the central government would not I'm not particularly worried, since other people's children will never die anyway. But this time the situation is completely different. There is an open fixed space-time door directly connected to Victoria Bay in Hong Kong! If a big trouble is created in another world, it is very likely to spread to Hong Kong in the real world, and even spread to the entire South China! Not to mention anything else, just releasing a few evil gods or undead curses is enough. Although there are indeed some Hong Kong people who have forgotten their ancestors and make trouble every day, which makes a hundred people uneasy, but the rest Most of the compatriots in Hong Kong are still Chinese after all!
However, the risks of exploring other worlds are completely uncontrollable. No one knows what the expedition team will encounter in the other world, let alone what kind of butterfly effect the traveler's changes to the plot will cause - even if there is The original work of the plot world is used as a reference, even dragging the author is useless! Because any novel can only describe a very small corner of a huge world, and when the plot world changes from text, animation, and film and television dramas to reality, it often contains countless dangers and secrets that even the author does not know! What's more, in order to collect the 50,000 reward points for each person to be rescued to "redeem their worth" and redeem them from the "Lord God System", the plot must be significantly changed, even if they don't want to bother!
In this case, in order to maximize the safety factor and prevent the disastrous consequences that suspicion and poor communication may bring to the country, and more importantly, to motivate and please Wang Qiu, who is the core figure in traveling to another world, Let his mother Wang Meiling serve as the mayor of Arnus City, It can be regarded as a good safety gate - Wang Qiu does not have to worry about being let down, wearing small shoes or being stabbed in the back by his immediate superiors, so that he can use his energy in the right place: in terms of the degree of concentricity between top and bottom, there is nothing else that can compare. Can it match the trust between mother and son?
The relevant departments can also ensure that Wang Qiuhui will do his best at work and will never hide the truth: when trouble occurs, his mother will be the first to suffer!
——Witnessed Tokyo Electric Power Company’s various deceptions, frauds, disregard for human life, and final irresponsibility during the Fukushima nuclear crisis... The central leaders are worried that during this exploration of another world, if someone An unhappy person will also resort to similar tricks to seek death.
Of course, if there is no trouble, Wang Meiling's extraordinary promotion is equivalent to smoke rising from the ancestral grave...
Um? Comrade Wang Meiling's exceptional promotion does not comply with organizational procedures? Haven't you heard of special measures? Don't be so bureaucracy-minded! What's more, for a city that will disappear from the jurisdiction of the Chinese government in a few years, why bother with such strict regulations?
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Compared to his mother Wang Meiling's nagging about the promotion, the absent-minded Wang Qiu focused more on looking at the mayor's office. At first glance, this seems to be a very ordinary modern office: a desk with a computer, bookshelves and lockers on the wall, potted plants on the windowsill, coffee table and small sofa for guests... But I don’t know. Why, it always gave him a rather subtle sense of disharmony.
But when Wang Meiling finished spitting and sat down to drink tea and take a breather, Wang Qiu couldn't figure out the source of this sense of disharmony, so he casually asked, "...Well, then. Congratulations to my mother for becoming the mayor, but who is ******?”
"...********? You don't know? It's Lao Guo!" Wang Meiling blinked, "...other than him, who else can do it?"
Let Political Commissar Guo be Arnus's *********? Well... this is indeed a very suitable candidate. It can at least make Wang Qiu feel more reassured and convinced, "... Then what about me? Is there a place for me in the government team of this city?" he said with a smile.
"...Of course! No matter who loses the title of official in this place, you must not lose it! My son!"
Wang Meiling replied with a smile, and at the same time took out a red-headed document from the drawer, "...here, this is the letter of appointment given to you by the superior department! The central leadership has entrusted you with an important task this time! We are going to let you serve as Arnus The commander-in-chief of the armed forces of this new city in another world..."
——Hmm, does it sound like a city defense commander? Or the police chief? Or even the commander of the expeditionary force from another world? Wang Qiu pondered this.
"...Therefore, after careful consideration, it was decided to appoint Comrade Wang Qiu as the captain of the urban management brigade of Arnus City." Eh, eh? Did I hear that correctly? Even if we are in a different world, in the end, I will still be made a city manager? ! ! Isn’t this style too low? ! ! !
