Chapter 1 Liu Deputy Director

Deputy Director Liu smiled immediately when he heard Yuan Muye proactively asking what the specific task was. He hadn't known how to discuss this matter with Yuan Muye.

He didn't expect things to progress so smoothly.

After a moment, Deputy Director Liu said, "Deputy Director Yuan, the task is actually very simple. It's to carry out a mission outside the city. There's a shelter outside the city with people who have come from all directions. They want to enter the city, but for some reason, they're trapped outside. Now, you need to eliminate the ferocious creatures around them."

Yuan Muye was stunned for a few seconds when he heard this, a little slow to react at first.

After a while, he said, "Director Liu, do you mean there are people outside the city? Then why don't we bring them in?"

It was daytime, and bringing the people outside in would be the perfect thing to do.

But after he said that, he noticed that Deputy Director Liu's expression was a little strange.

Seeing this, Yuan Muye pressed on, "Director Liu, is there something you're not telling me?"

Deputy Director Liu put on a troubled look and said, "Deputy Director Yuan, you don't understand. Our Yun City is only so big, and we only have so many resources. If we let outsiders come in as they please, Yun City would be packed, and everyone's living environment would become even worse."

"So you won't let them in, leaving them in a situation where they could lose their lives at any moment?"

Yuan Muye's emotions were a little turbulent.

Deputy Director Liu wasn't worried about Yuan Muye's agitation. On the contrary, he remained calm. After a while, he sighed and said, "Deputy Director Yuan, I completely understand how you feel. My heart is the same as yours, but you also know that I'm not the one who makes the decisions. It's the city lord of Yun City. We subordinates can only carry out the orders of the city lord. What's more, I'm the one who assigned this mission. I just hope to allow the people outside to survive safely.”

Deputy Director Liu paused for a few seconds, the expression on his face conveying that he had tried his best and also wanted to protect these people's lives.

It was just that the orders from above were difficult to disobey.

In fact, Yuan Muye wasn't naive. Of course, he knew what he meant. Orders from above were indeed difficult to resist.

After waiting for a while, Yuan Muye took a deep breath and said, "I understand, Director Liu."

"Deputy Director Yuan, it's best that you can understand me. I was just afraid that you wouldn't understand me. I'm not afraid of anything else."

Deputy Director Liu said faintly.

"I understand you, but I also hope that when the mission is completed, you can apply to the higher-ups to allow these people to enter the city."

Yuan Muye expressed his expectations.

But Deputy Director Liu said, "Deputy Director Yuan, I have petitioned the city lord about this matter many times, but I have never been granted permission, so I don't think there's any way."

Yuan Muye looked at Deputy Director Liu and cursed a few times in his heart.

But in the end, he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked, "What time are we moving out tonight?"

"We'll leave the city at seven o'clock."

"Okay, what about Captain Qi?"

Yuan Muye didn't waste any words.

"Captain Qi should be over later. I'll have him contact you then, or you can come to our main bureau again. Deputy Director Yuan, rest assured, you will definitely be in command this time. You can choose anyone from our main bureau, not just Captain Qi. You can choose any other team members you like."

Deputy Director Liu looked very generous.

Yuan Muye directly said, "No need, Captain Qi is enough."

"Alright, alright, then I'll have to trouble you with this matter, Deputy Director Yuan."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Yuan Muye said.

"Okay."

Yuan Muye left this sentence and went straight out of Deputy Director Liu's office. When he walked outside, many people greeted Yuan Muye.

Once outside, Yuan Muye couldn't help but feel heavy.

After all, there were so many living people outside.

Evil spirits were creatures that ate people without blinking an eye. It could be said that it was very difficult for those people to survive outside.

Even if the evil spirits were driven away or killed this time, the evil spirits would definitely continue to come back.

This was an undeniable fact.

Yuan Muye and the others used to live in Fire City, and compared to the days in this Yun City, it was like heaven and earth. There was no comparison at all.

So Yuan Muye understood the feelings of those people outside.

As Yuan Muye walked out, he thought of something.

Immediately, he made a call to Director Chen.

The call didn't take long to connect, and the person on the other end quickly answered the phone.

"Deputy Director Yuan, what's the matter?"

Director Chen was obviously very happy.

"Director, you can just call me Muye, or call me Little Yuan. Calling me Deputy Director sounds strange."

Yuan Muye smiled and said.

"Alright then, I'll call you Little Yuan. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Director Chen said with a smile.

"Director, it's like this, I have something to ask of you."

Yuan Muye said.

Director Chen was very surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Yuan Muye to have something to ask of him.

"Little Yuan, don't be polite with me. Just get straight to the point. If there's anything, just say it. I will definitely help you if I can."

Director Chen said generously.

"Okay, then I won't be polite."

After Yuan Muye finished speaking, he didn't delay and proceeded to explain everything that had happened here.

After listening, Director Chen fell into deep thought and didn't answer immediately.

After a while, he said, "Little Yuan, I can't guarantee that I can give you a definite answer right away. How about you let me ask the higher-ups first?"

Yuan Muye hummed and said, "Okay, Director, thank you for this matter."

"What are you talking about? This is what I should do. If you have anything in the future, just tell me directly. Don't be polite, you know?"

Director Chen said.

"Okay, I understand. Then I'll wait for your news."

After saying these words, Yuan Muye didn't say anything else.

He hung up the phone.

If you were to compare Director Chen and Deputy Director Liu.

Deputy Director Liu was not a good person at all.

Director Chen was more pure, while Deputy Director Liu was good at calculating.

To put it bluntly, he didn't seem like a good person at all.

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Muye's mood didn't lighten up. He was thinking in his heart, wondering if this matter could be resolved peacefully.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Yuan Muye received a call from Qi Feng.
