Chapter 22 This Is All I Can Do for My Hometown
The hall is filled with the unique smell of flames and heat waves, as well as the burnt smell of carpets and curtains being lit, and the sour and bitter smell of flying dragonflies after being roasted. Smelling the air in the hall makes me feel a little stuffy. .
"It's cooked through, I don't know if it will affect the insect crystals in its brain..."
Li Jiayu is in a good mood, with a shallow smile on the corners of his mouth. This is a second-level low-level baby. It is a rare good thing for Li Jiayu at this stage. If it is under other circumstances, he wants to kill a flying dragon. The louse is simply impossible, because it can fly away if it can't be beaten, and the shell is much harder than that of the red-capped beetle, so it is extremely difficult to kill it completely. Li Jiayu never dreamed that one day he would be so dramatic. To get the insect crystal of the flying dragon louse.
"Octopus, your extra breakfast is still hot. It's ready for you."
Li Jiayu recited the incantation in his heart, and summoned the dark octopus. His eyes lit up, and he immediately threw himself on the head of the flying dragon louse, wriggling tentacles, wrapping the huge insect heads under the abdomen, and the tips of the tentacles ground to the ground. Reach into the mouth and eye socket of the flying dragon louse.
"Eat slowly, don't worry, I can wait for you patiently."
Li Jiayu sat down on the soft sofa, took out a bottle of soda from his backpack, opened the raisin with a "click", and nibbled it up, not paying any attention to the more than 30 people watching in silence The dark octopus shivered all over.
"Young man...you're incredible...cough, when I was at the Central Party School twenty years ago, I met a lot of ruthless men from the National Security Agency. They all possessed unique skills, but none of them were as shocking as you. ...that's completely beyond what science can explain."
After a long while, the old mayor, who was seriously ill, struggled to get up, his face was sallow, but his eyes were staring at Li Jiayu, his wrinkled face burst into a chrysanthemum-like smile, and he seemed very happy. .
"Are you also guessing, I'm a member of the Celestial Dragon Group..." Li Jiayu raised his eyebrows and said slowly.
"No, what bullshit Tianchaolong group, that's bluffing... The old man naturally won't believe it, young man, you haven't thought about it, this skill is not easy to come by, if you only care about yourself and forget to use this skill To serve the country and the people is really ruthless and unworthy of the words "people of the celestial dynasty"." The old mayor finished speaking in one breath, and quickly covered his chest with his hands, as though he was almost out of breath. .
"You mean... let me serve the country?" Li Jiayu blinked with interest.
"Yes, the country needs a genius like you. You help the old man through this difficult time. The old man owes you a huge favor. When the people in the military area mobilize their troops and turn on heavy weapons to kill all the bugs, the old man will definitely You will use the network of connections in Youzhou City, Kyoto, to let you work hard in the National Security Bureau. Within ten years, you can become a powerful figure in the National Security Bureau, and all you need to do is to accompany the old man for a few days. In exchange for a lifetime of glory and wealth, why not do it?"
"It's boring, it's still national security, it's ridiculous." Li Jiayu interrupted the old mayor stubbornly.
"Young man, the energy of the National Security Bureau is beyond your imagination... Well, since you don't like to be in charge of the dark forces of the Celestial Dynasty, you can change it..."
The old mayor's shriveled lips trembled a few times, and he immediately said:
"The old man can let you become the actual ruler of Xijiang City within three years, take over the seat of Zetao's municipal party secretary within ten years, and enter the power center of Tiannan Province within twenty years. If you want to go to Kyoto The development of Youzhou City is not impossible..."
After finishing speaking, the old mayor's eyes widened, staring at Li Jiayu's face closely, noticing every change in Li Jiayu's expression.
"Not everyone likes to be an official..." Li Jiayu is half-smiling, he doesn't mind wasting a little time with this old man, he really wants to see what kind of expensive remuneration this old man can give him— —Although Li Jiayu will never stay to protect the old mayor.
"Don't like being an official? Well, you are still young, and you don't know the allure of power. In this world, the most beautiful thing is to be an official... To lead a city, lead a country, kill and take away, what a style, what a style. Your respect, every decision you make will affect the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people under your command, your thoughts and thoughts will change the city and the world, hum, you are not interested..."
The old mayor seemed to be in a hurry. He coughed and raised his head with difficulty. His deeply sunken eyes looked extremely strange:
"Okay, since you're not interested... Then let's change another one. Two of my three sons are doing business in Yongcheng, and their assets are no less than 2 billion. If you..."
"Sorry, I'm not interested in money either..." Li Jiayu smiled lightly, those clear blue eyes were full of smiles, and they were indescribably moving and beautiful, which made all those who were secretly paying attention to Li Jiayu stunned, but for the old city In the long run, that light smile is very hateful!
"Young people...you are not interested in power and wealth, so what about fame? Children your age like to be famous, right? Enjoying the admiration and pursuit of your peers... You just need to help this old man get through this disaster, old man You can control the public opinion world, let your heroic deeds sweep the country, and if you are interested in the entertainment industry, you can also make you a first-class star..."
"Oh, star, I like it so much." Li Jiayu deliberately showed a surprised expression. Seeing the old mayor couldn't help but feel joy in his heart, he muttered that he finally got this young man down.
"However, I heard that there are unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, which are very dirty, so let's avoid this. I personally like to keep a low profile, and I don't want to be a slaughter hero. You should change it to someone else." Seeing the old mayor grinning He breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Jiayu gave him another blow at the right time.
Hearing Li Jiayu's words, the old mayor's face flushed, obviously because of Li Jiayu's anger, his lips wriggled a few times, and said tiredly:
"You don't want power, wealth, or fame... The only thing left is sex, but depending on your conditions, it seems that you don't need to worry about this old man at all..."
"Well, you're a little self-aware." Li Jiayu raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't even bother to tease you... I respect you as the old mayor of Xijiang City. You have made a lot of contributions to Xijiang City before I am willing to tell you. So many words, but please don't overestimate yourself. In fact, you are not qualified to make any conditions for me, because ah... worms are not limited to Xijiang City, your relationship network has already Completely useless."
"What do you mean, there are endless bugs in the entire Celestial Dynasty... and even the whole world?" The old mayor still kept a clear head. He had already guessed the answer vaguely when he saw the expression on Li Jiayu's face.
"Nonsense, do you think that only Xijiang City is under the worm tide? The army is too busy to take care of itself, how can they still have the energy to kill all the worms? It would be good not to be swept away by the worms." Li Jiayu stood up, The dark octopus finished its special breakfast, and Li Jiayu should pat his butt and leave.
"This...how could the earth be occupied by insects so easily? Human missiles and nuclear weapons are not vegetarians!" This time, the old mayor's grandson finally couldn't help it, and jumped out and shouted again.
"Oh, then you can put your hope on nuclear weapons. Anyway, you think that the army is omnipotent and invincible." Li Jiayu sneered.
"Young man, don't...cough..."
The old mayor wanted to keep Li Jiayu, but suddenly he was in a hurry, which made the already incomparable condition worse. He coughed up blood. The old mayor looked at the bloodstains on his palm, his withered muscles shaking, his eyes With a touch of despair.
"Old Mayor, in fact, you still have a little use value..."
Li Jiayu gently took the flying dragon louse and insect crystal handed to him by the dark octopus, put it in front of him with a wonderful luster, then turned around and smiled at the old mayor, and suddenly took out a crystal clear oval red crystal from his backpack , walked to the front of the old mayor in three or two steps.
"Drink all the liquid in here, it should make your illness a little better." He still had that cold expression, but for some reason, the old mayor felt a little self-deprecating on Li Jiayu's face?
It's really self-deprecating, and Li Jiayu never thought... One day he would give such a big help to a politician who met by chance. Thinking about it, it's very funny. After all, Li Jiayu has always looked down on politicians.
But ah, who is the old mayor who used to be the helm of Xijiang City? Who told the old mayor to have lofty prestige in Xijiang City?
As long as this old man is still alive, he can stabilize the people's hearts a little after the insect tide recedes, so that Xijiang City will not be chaotic like hell during the ten-day buffer period - even if Li Jiayuming knows that this effect is not big, but He had to try it, because there was only so much he could do in his hometown of Xijiang.
All because Li Jiayu still has a deep attachment to her hometown!
"Drink the liquid from this thing?" The old mayor coughed and looked at Li Jiayu's delicate face with a pale face, and was stunned for a while.
"Grandpa, be careful, who knows if that thing is poisonous or not!" The boy ran out of time to make trouble again, blocking the old mayor with one hand and posing to protect his grandfather.
"Zhennan, don't make trouble... Anyway, this old man won't survive tonight, so I might as well choose to trust this aunt...cough..."
Fortunately, the innermost "girl" of the old mayor was interrupted by a cough before she could fully say it. Otherwise, Li Jiayu might have patted her butt and left with a black face, and was too lazy to care about the life and death of the old mayor.
"Stay here, kid, you, open your mouth."
The old man lay on his back on the sofa and opened his mouth obediently. Li Jiayu pinched the brain nucleus with the middle finger and thumb of his left hand and placed it ten centimeters from the old man's face. Then, with force, he crushed the brain nucleus of the sickle beetle, a viscous liquid. It flows out of the brain nucleus and slowly drips into the mouth of the old man.
Seeing the old man quietly swallowing the liquid in the brain nucleus, the secretary of the municipal party committee, the boys and girls, the lady's security guard and others all fell silent, staring at Li Jiayu's jade-white fingers, and at the same time noting the change in the old man's face.
Sure enough, the old man's complexion soon turned slightly rosy, he only felt a flame burning in his chest, and the blood all over his body was rushing faster, it seemed that his body was relieved several times at once, and he could even straighten up from the sofa. Edition sits up!
Seeing that the old mayor was so healthy all of a sudden, the secretary of the municipal party committee and others all wiped the sweat from their heads, or laughed with relief or surprise, and hurriedly walked to the old mayor to ask questions, but more people Then he looked at Li Jiayu with even more surprised eyes.
"Young man...Thank you for your elixir..." The old mayor's face was full of excitement, and he bowed his hands to Li Jiayu respectfully. He knew that he had a terminal illness and died within a month or two. However, he really felt that his terminal illness was more than half cured, even if he lived another year and a half, it would not be a problem!
What kind of elixir is it that has such a miraculous effect? Could it be that the red crystal is the legendary elixir?
"I don't need your thanks, I just ask you to do one thing." Li Jiayu changed his indifference and said solemnly: "After two days, most of the bugs will retreat, and Xijiang City will have a ten-day safety and preparation period. , when the time comes, you must stay to appease the hearts of the people and preside over the post-disaster public security work. I believe that with your influence, the people of Xijiang City will be a little better... You, did you hear it clearly?"
"Well, young man, how do you know that the bugs will retreat in two days, and how do you know that there are only ten days of safety and preparation?"
"I just ask you, do you hear clearly?"
"The old man should do his best for Xijiang City. You know, Colonel Shen of the Chengdong Military Region has a good relationship with the old man... I guess the public security work at that time will not disappoint you..."
"It doesn't matter if you disappoint me, just don't let Xijiang City down! Because Xijiang City is the hometown of you and me! I want to do something for it before I leave Xijiang City, maybe I will never have a chance to return to Xijiang City again. now..."
Li Jiayu nodded and turned around abruptly, her snow-colored hair fluttering in the wind, like catkins blown by the wind, he greeted the dark octopus, and went down the stairs quickly, but Li Jiayu's sweet voice came from a distance:
"Don't move about that roasted bug, as long as it gets stuck in the hall, other low-level flying bugs won't dare to attack you. Officials, please survive these two days!"
Everyone in the hall was silent for a while. The boy and the girl wanted to chase downstairs to send Li Jiayu away, but they were all pulled by the secretary of the municipal party committee. They could only watch Li Jiayu and the dark octopus disappear into the depths of the municipal party committee compound from the window.
"That girl... She is from Xijiang City, so one day, I will meet her again, and then I must thank her well." The old mayor staggered, walked to the window, and looked at her. In the direction of Li Jiayu's disappearance, he said deeply.
Leaving the Municipal Party Committee compound, Li Jiayu carefully avoided the insects, and it took half an hour to walk one kilometer along the alley. At this time, he was already out of the north of the city, which meant that Li Jiayu had left the hardest-hit area of the insects, a little bit. You can take a breath, even if there are still many low-level bugs on the road, it is difficult to cause any threat to Li Jiayu!
All the way to the south, Li Jiayu wanted to summon the underworld warhorse again, but thought of the tens of thousands of flaming crows in the south of the city, so he could only give up. You must know that the flaming crows are not so easy to deal with. In case the underworld war horses attract tens of thousands of flaming crows If you pay attention, Li Jiayu will really be in trouble, because the flames thrown by the flame crow are long-range attacks, which are much more powerful than the bugs that can only fight meleely!
Walking furtively in the alleys and eaves in the south of the city, although I occasionally encounter some monsters except the Flaming Crow, they are all extremely weak and low-level monsters. Li Jiayu does not need to do it by himself. A fire axe is enough to chop those low-level monsters into pieces!
However, in the process of traveling in the south of the city, Li Jiayu also encountered many people who dared to run out of the street to snatch food. This is also impossible. After all, there are no dense insects in the south of the city. There are only tens of thousands of flaming crows, and they don't like to eat them. The people, aside from the occasional firebomb from the sky, seem to be quite friendly.
Of course, the south of the city is actually very chaotic, just by looking at so many houses on fire in the south of the city...
Li Jiayu traveled all the way without taking a break. He walked more than 20 kilometers in five hours, and finally came to the Anning Community in the south of the city, where his cousin and sister-in-law lived!
"This outdoor trip is really not easy... But, cousin, you can rest assured. With me, Li Jiayu, your safety is definitely not a problem!"
Li Jiayu looked at the blackened door of Anning Community. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he put away the dark octopus, and then stepped in with great strides. Soon he approached his sister-in-law's commercial house. Unconsciously, Li Jiayu felt a burst of excitement in her heart. She was afraid that she would remember the tragic events of her previous life after seeing her sister-in-law, but she also hoped to see her brother who treated him like a real brother again. sister-in-law.
"Hey...why is the door open? There are so many people around the door, what are they doing?"
Li Jiayu frowned, and a bad feeling surged in her heart. Sure enough, there was a familiar sob and a loud slap in the face from the room!
"Crack! Yan Zisu! I'm not finished with you!"
