call.

After walking outside the Flying Eagle Hotel and standing in the cool night breeze, Somo let out a long breath.

The hustle and bustle of the surrounding markets and the scent of fragrance wafting into his nose made him feel a little calmer.

Standing at the door of the hotel and looking into the distance.

Hope City at nine o'clock at night is obviously more "depressed" than Fenghuo City at two or three o'clock in the night. Only the buildings of the four major companies in the distance have spotlights on, bringing little light to the city.

The confrontation with Chen Shen just now, strictly speaking, went beyond the rhetoric he had prepared before.

Up to now, there is still a trace of cold sweat on Sumo's forehead.

That is to say, Chen Shen himself said before that today is not a formal occasion and everyone can speak freely.

Otherwise, just by saying these words, the laws of the territory will be imposed on him immediately.

However, the results of such an adventure are also gratifying.

At the very least, Chen Shen is willing to extend the invitation again and invite him to a more private place to continue the discussion. This is the biggest gain of this trip!

"I'll go to Mayor Chen to get our trading license stamped later. You can go back first, or you can wait for me in the car."

"But I'm not sure how long it will take, if you're in a hurry."

After saying a few words, Su Mo found that Zhang Min did not respond. He turned around and had to stop talking.

The confrontation with the Chen family, the largest family in the entire Tianyuan territory, was obviously beyond her cognition.

Until now, Zhang Min still has not been able to recover from the tit-for-tat situation, looking dumb and stupid.

"Okay, then just wait for me in the car."

After dragging Zhang Min to the parking lot and finding a car to sit down in, Su Mo quickly asked for directions and drove out of the Flying Eagle Hotel.

The Mayor's Building of Hope City is built in the most central location. Although it is only three floors, it is very eye-catching.

In the distance, Sumo saw the sign and parked his car in the parking lot downstairs.

Boom, boom, boom.

As soon as the car stopped, there was a knock on the driver's window.

Sumo turned around and took a look.

A young woman wearing a brown mandarin jacket and light black trousers was standing next to the car with a smile.

Su Mo rolled down the window, slightly confused: "You are?"

"Mr. Su, I am Mayor Chen's secretary. If you are here to apply for a trading license, please follow me."

"Are you Jiang Biao?"

Su Mo opened the car door with some surprise, got out of the car and looked up and down.

When he heard this name before, he thought that the other party was still a strong man even if he was not a burly man.

But now who would have thought that the person with this name is actually a girl with hair that reaches her shoulders.

"Mr. Su, you are not the first person to wonder about my name."

"It's a long story, let's talk while walking?"

"Okay!" After closing the car door, Su Mo followed Jiang Biao to the mayor's building without any trace of ink.

After passing through the security check channel, we walked through a not-so-short cement road.

Until the game prompt sounded again, indicating that the use of storage space here would also be prohibited, "Jiang Biao" slowed down.

"Mr. Su, let me introduce you again. I am Mayor Chen's current secretary, Jiang Xiaoyu."

"Jiang Biao is actually my father's name, and he is also Mayor Chen's first secretary."

"Your father?" Sumo quickened his pace slightly, and the two of them walked side by side.

He is very curious about the development of the territory over the years.

Every time he gets an opportunity, Sumo will never let it go, and this time will be no exception.

"Yes, my father joined the Tianyuan Territory in the second year of Wasteland. Because he was appreciated by Mayor Chen, he was promoted to be his first secretary, responsible for conveying Mayor Chen's messages and instructions."

"It was only later that due to some accidents, my father was killed by gangsters and was forced to sacrifice his life, so this position was replaced by a replacement."

"However, after several changes, Mayor Chen was not satisfied. He often recalled that when my father was here, the mayor's management office had no choice but to come over and call me and ask me to try to see if I could top it."

"Who would have thought that one cap would last two years?"

"So that's it." After understanding the whole story, Su Mo nodded slightly: "Mr. Jiang must have done a good job when he was in office. Mayor Chen just told me that when he came over, he misremembered the name and called the secretary's name Mr. Jiang."

"

"Haha, yes." Jiang Xiaoyu showed a smile: "Mayor Chen has a lot to deal with every day, and there are too many things to deal with, so he often subconsciously calls out my father's name in front of outsiders."

"But Mr. Su's skills are deep enough. This is the first time I've seen Mayor Chen react like this." After saying that, Jiang Xiaoyu turned his head with deep meaning and tried to read it on Su Mo's face.

Get something.

But unfortunately, Sumo still only had a simple smile on his face, making it unclear what he was thinking.

Go to the end of the road.

"The mayor is on the third floor. Once the elevator goes up, go inside and proceed. I won't go up and disturb your conversation."

"Thank you!" After pressing the elevator button, Sumo nodded slightly and watched as the elevator door slowly closed and Jiang Xiaoyu's face disappeared from sight.

Creak, creak.

As the elevator shaft moved slowly, it emitted waves of subtle tremors.

When the door opened again, Sumo walked out and stood in the slightly dark third floor.

Ahead is a slightly lengthy corridor, revealing the end that emits bursts of light.

Unlike the bright lights of the Eagle Hotel, the Mayor's Building is dimly lit at night, giving people a somewhat eerie feel.

Moreover, the paintings hanging next to the aisle also appear black and white in the darkness, which makes people feel even more creepy.

Walking along the aisle, Somo walked slowly, looking at the paintings all the way.

The first few paintings probably represent the changes in the territory over the years.

From a small village covering an area of ​​ten acres, to a small town with an area of ​​over a hundred acres, to a county with an industrial park.

Each painting continuously records the changes in Hope City.

As he walked back, when the first portrait painting appeared, Somo paused and stood silently.

An old man with shaggy hair and a somewhat cold face.

The old man's eyes are very sharp, even in the painting, it makes people look at each other.

His right hand held an irregular-shaped object. Somo looked closer and saw four familiar Chinese characters on the object.

Kuanfeng energy stone.

"Lu Kuan?"

Sumo was trembling a little, so he continued to walk back and looked back.

But just as he took one step, he stopped again and stood in front of the second painting.

Like the previous painting, this painting also has an old man.

It's just that his face is much kinder, and the wrinkles on his face seem to be full of smiles.

"Ai Jianfeng?"

He realized that the owners of these black and white paintings were the same people he had been searching for for more than a month.

Somo lowered his head slightly and quickened his pace.

"Lu Kuan, Ai Jianfeng, Su Deben, Su Wei, Li Hu, Zhuo Junfan, Qi Qin, Wu Feiguang"

More and more familiar people began to meet him in his paintings.

Either young or old.

Walking to the end of the corridor, Sumo saw a painting that looked like it had just been added.

There was the person who had just met him briefly and then disappeared into the quantum ocean.

Jiyang!

"You seem familiar with them?"

Suddenly, Chen Shen's voice came to Sumo's ears. His whole body trembled secretly, and he immediately turned his head and looked to his side.

At some point, Chen Shen walked out of the bright office and stood beside him.

"Well, I heard people say that they are the heroes of the territory." Sumo nodded against his will, suppressing the rich expression on his face.

In fact, when he saw Lu Kuan's black and white portrait, he had already vaguely guessed what he would see next.

But even though this is eight years in the future when there is no human Su Shen, even though this is just a ruin created by the game.
To be continued...
