Become a legend in the interstellar

"Jingle bell... Jingle bell..."

A call was made to the mayor's office.

Qi Lang was reading the annual summary report, sitting leisurely in the office chair, with the aroma of tea wafting from the cup in his hand.

His secretary, Chai An, stepped forward, picked up the phone, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Chai, it's about the refugee resettlement house." The voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little nervous, mixed with the sound of the pattering rain.

"Any trouble?"

"This... a little trouble."

"Don't bother the city lord for minor troubles, and find the people below to solve them." Chai An's tone was flat.

"Yes, but most likely you or the city lord will need to come forward to solve it." The voice on the other side trembled a little, and I don't know if it is cold, it is bitingly cold in the rainy winter.

"That's no small trouble." Chai An looked out the window and said, "Tell me about it in detail."

"Yes, it is like this..."

The person on the other side of the phone finished talking about what happened in the east of the city very quickly.

Chai An held the phone tightly, listening to the man's narration, his face became more and more serious.

"These bastards!"

In the end, there was only a click, and the desk phone in his hand was crushed abruptly by him.

Sparks flickered, fragments flew, and there was only a hissing noise on the other end of the phone.

"what happened?"

Qi Lang trembled all over, and was taken aback. He almost shrank under the chair thinking someone was sneaking him.

But he quickly realized that the phone was crushed by the secretary, and there was no sneak attack.

"Refugee resettlement housing." Chai An let go of his hand, and countless debris fell from his hand.

"The project in the east of the city or the west of the city? Are those people unwilling to move?" Qi Lang thought it was the case, "How about giving more subsidies? I think this year's finances are okay, and the deficit rate is less than 3%. Other cities around are much better."

"Those people are indeed unwilling to move." Chai An took a deep breath, "But there is no chance to move."

"how……"

Qi Lang is not too stupid, after all, he has sat in this position for many years, and the next moment he thought: "Did someone die?"

Chai An nodded: "Yes."

Qi Lang's heart skipped a beat, the new year is approaching, and now he is most afraid of such a thing.

There are enough things this year. The masked monsters have made trouble a few times. Not long ago, the machine clan launched a bloody cleansing. Those who survived are only looking forward to peace.

"How many people died?" Qi Lang asked cautiously, fearing that there would be too many people.

"More than a few." Chai An looked stern.

"Could it be more than ten?" Qi Lang gasped, this was almost his bottom line.

"Rough estimate, more than two hundred."

"what?"

Qi Lang screamed, and Huo Di stood up from the chair.

This is no ordinary construction accident, this is pure deliberate murder!
In the past few years, there was still a way to cover up this kind of thing, but this year the situation is getting more and more tense. How could such a thing happen at this critical juncture?
Snapped!
The teacup in Qi Lang's hand fell and shattered on the ground, the flowing tea was still steaming.

"My God, this is putting me on the fire..."

Qi Lang's scalp was numb, his head was about to explode. …

If this is exposed by the fearless media, the consequences will be unimaginable. If someone brings up the topic again, the riot of that night will probably be repeated.

Qi Lang is holding his hair. During this period of time, he has been conscientious, diligent and careful, in order to spend the new year with peace of mind... Why is it so difficult?

"What should I do?" Qi Lang panicked, "Can it be suppressed? Is it okay to kill the rest of the people? As long as they are all killed, no one will cause trouble."

"calm!"

Chai An said with a look of resentment, "There is a big shot at the scene. Unless he cooperates, this matter cannot be suppressed."

"What? Has someone else arrived?"

"Well, otherwise those daring bastards wouldn't have reported to us at all!"

"Who's here?"

"Su Xia, that pharmacist."

"It's actually him..."

Hearing this name, Qi Lang caressed his heart, feeling a lot more at ease.

Well, it's my own.

The entire Coral City knew that this young medicine genius, in order to establish a relationship with the machine race, did not hesitate to betray his teacher.

The interests he represents are consistent with the interests of the entire city, and he certainly doesn't want to make things big.

"Fortunately, fortunately, I listened to your words at that time." Qi Lang breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Chai, you arranged it well. You asked me to get the Liu Liangmu who was related to him, and now we are also fellow travelers with him. gone."

"Well, let's go, Lord City Master, let's go and have a look together."

"it is good."

Qi Lang didn't dare to waste time anymore, the longer the matter dragged on, the easier it would be to make trouble, so he hurriedly put down the annual report in his hand, put on warm winter clothes and went out.

As soon as he walked out of the office building, a gust of cold wind rushed towards his face, cutting his face like a knife.

The biting coldness made Qi Lang shiver uncontrollably.

Even a third-level psionic creature like him finds it extremely difficult to face the cold of this severe winter.

Qi Lang let out a breath of cold air, wiped his arms, and couldn't help but said: "It's too cold here, it's better to be warm in the building."

Chai An followed him, looked ahead, and said, "My lord, at least you have winter clothes. Think about the people in refugee gathering places and slums. Some people are still wearing thin autumn clothes, and the dilapidated houses have no heating. .”

"Hey, I'll just complain a few words, Xiao Chai, you're talking about me again."

"I just hope that the city lord can think differently."

"Poor people always have a way for poor people to survive the winter, right?" Qi Lang rubbed his hands, "It's been so many years of winter, and I don't see those untouchables freezing to death."

"How many times have I said, don't use the word 'untouchable'."

"All right, all right, you are capable, listen to you..."

The two got into the car one after the other, and Chai An turned on the air conditioner in the car, which made Qi Lang feel much more comfortable.

With a bang, the engine started and the wheels spun, leading the two to the east of the city where the accident happened.

"How's that pharmacist's attitude?" Qi Lang asked while sitting in the back row.

"I don't know." Chai An shook his head.

"Didn't the person who called just now say that?"

"He didn't have time to say, the phone was exploded by me."...

"..."

Neither of them had formal contact with Su Xia, so they could only speculate on this person's attitude from various reports and deeds.

In their view, there is a high probability that Su Xia will not make a big deal out of it.

Chai An didn't like this kind of person who betrayed his teacher for honor. He knew very well that this kind of person was most likely to stand on the side of interests, so he said, "It should be resolved."

"It's good if it can be resolved. I just want to have a good year."

"My lord, you can live a good year. Have you ever thought about the families of the deceased?"

"Okay, I won't talk..."

Qi Lang was disappointed, looking at the retreating scenery outside the window.

As the new year approaches, Coral City also has some New Year's atmosphere, and many streets are hung with dazzling lanterns.

At this time, the east area of ​​the city.

Cathedral door.

The rain is still falling, and the atmosphere is a little delicate.

The moment he saw Su Xia appear, Wang Hong knew that something was wrong and it was beyond his control.

No matter how reluctant he was, he had to ask someone to call the city lord.

"Boss, before I finished speaking, the secretary of the city lord hung up the phone." Someone came over and whispered in his ear.

Wang Hong's heart sank, he must be angry.

But he has no other way, he can't face a heavyweight like Su Xia by himself.

For the sake of Su Xia, a medicine genius, the city lord Yu Tuo did not hesitate to fight with the characters of Zero Point Tavern, even a high-level machine clan hidden in the city's underground.

You know, even if something happened to Qi Lang, the two of them might not help him.

visible……

On the machine clan's side, Su Xia's weight is much heavier than Qi Lang's.

Wang Hong just wanted to slap himself twice now, if it wasn't for his rude words just now, he wouldn't be in this difficult situation now.

"Master Su..."

The smile on his face was uglier than crying, and his tone was full of flattery: "You have a noble status, what's the matter in coming to this kind of place in person? You don't need to do it yourself, just say a word, and I will immediately help you do it."

Su Xia looked at him lightly and said, "You haven't answered my question yet."

With an apologetic smile on his face, Wang Hong bowed his body and said, "How could I know it was you, old man? If I knew it was you, I wouldn't dare to say such a thing even if I had a hundred chances."

"If it was someone else, would you dare to say that?" Su Xia asked him indifferently.

"I……"

"The law says 'all men are equal', haven't you learned it?"

"me……"

Wang Hong seemed to be stuttering, his face was embarrassed, his smile froze on his face, and he was speechless when asked.

Then, he gritted his teeth and slapped himself cruelly in order to make amends.

There was a snap, and the sound was crisp.

His face immediately became red and swollen, but he still squeezed out an ugly smile and said, "Master Su, I don't study much, so don't be angry with a small person like me. It's not worth it to be angry."

"Read less?"

"Yes Yes……"

"How did you get this position with few studies? Isn't the requirement for your position an advanced degree?" Su Xia looked at him coldly, "Is there a relationship at home? Or did you come in with money?"

"I……"

Wang Hong's body shook for a while, his lips turned white, and he was almost dumbfounded by the question. …

No matter what he said, Su Xia could find a point to ask questions, and didn't give him a chance to argue.

The fine rain slapped on his face, which was extremely cold, and even his heart was also cold.

No matter whether today's incident will become a big deal or not, it will be difficult for him to keep his position.

If the higher-ups wanted to have a good relationship with Su Xia, they might just give up on him and find someone to kill him silently.

"Boom!"

The sound of thunder exploded in the sky, frightening Wang Hong's liver and gallbladder, and he staggered and fell into the rain, covered in muddy water.

Behind him, none of the dozen or so people dared to go up to help him.

Su Xia was in full swing, those people didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye, for fear of being remembered by him.

Behind, in the church.

Everyone was shocked, and even the crying was much quieter.

Before, Wang Hong was so arrogant to them, but now he can't even bear Su Xia's words, this is status!

For many children in the church, it was the first time in their lives that they faced the onslaught of power.

Su Xia turned around slowly, looked at everyone and asked, "Who can take charge here?"

There was a moment of silence in the church, and everyone looked at each other. Finally, a dark-skinned middle-aged man came out, lowered his head and said, "My lord, I... I should be able to take charge..."

"Register the list of all the deceased, it will be used later."

"Okay, thank you, thank you sir..."

The people here didn't know Su Xia's identity, and they all thought he was a high-ranking official in the city.

In this day and age, apart from making a show in front of the media, very few officials are willing to come to such a poor and dirty place in person.

Their thanks are sincere.

Su Xia glanced at the situation inside the church, and found that Zhao Xiaobai was looking at him, so she nodded slightly, without saying anything, and still stood by the door.

According to the system, Zhao Xiaobai is 13 years old, but due to long-term malnutrition, he looks only eight or nine years old.

This is true of many children here.

And malnutrition will not only affect the growth of the body, but also affect the intellectual development.

This is why rich families are more likely to have smart children, while children from poor families always appear low-intelligence or even funny, which has become the subject of jokes made by some media people.

It is certain that the rich will get richer, but it will be more difficult for people at the bottom to climb up. The fate of most people is doomed at birth.

After a while, the list was established. A total of 198 people died and 47 people were missing.

Needless to say, those 47 people should still be buried in the collapsed house.

Su Xia sent the nanorobots out just now, went deep into the construction site, searched among the wreckage that had not been cleaned up, and found several deformed corpses.

"My lord, what should we do next?" Everyone here was at a loss, and they regarded Su Xia as hope.

"Wait."

Su Xia took the list and only said one word.

As a fifth-level creature, his perception is so keen. Just now, he heard the voice of Wang Hong's subordinate calling Qi Lang, and he could even hear the conversation on the phone clearly.

Now just wait for Qi Lang to come over, Su Xia knows he will definitely come.

In this way, everyone waited with him for more than half an hour. …

During this period, Wang Hong didn't dare to speak anymore,

He could only wait, shivering in the cold wind with his body covered in muddy water.

Just when he was about to be numb from the cold, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in the distance.

"The roads here are too bad, they are all dirt roads." Qi Lang was complaining, the car couldn't move, the tires were stuck in the mud, and the last part of the road could only be walked.

He has a noble status, and he hasn't walked this kind of muddy road for many years.

"My lord, think about the people who live here." Chai An held up an umbrella for him and reminded him lightly.

"Oh, okay..."

The two, one in front of the other, stepped on the muddy road, a little closer to the location of the cathedral.

Before they got close, they saw Su Xia standing at the door of the cathedral, and Wang Hong covered in mud and water.

Qi Lang couldn't help muttering in his heart... Did Wang Hong offend Su Xia, and in order to get forgiveness, he did not hesitate to roll around in the mud and pretend to be ugly?

He let out a breath, a commercial smile appeared on his face, and said with a smile: "Master Su, I have always wanted to find time to visit you, but recently there are too many business affairs, I didn't expect to meet under such circumstances."

"Many people have died here, Lord City Lord, you shouldn't laugh." Chai An reminded.

"Oh……"

Qi Lang immediately put away his smile and acted a little more serious.

Su Xia didn't move, and was still waiting at the door. After the two approached, she handed over the list in her hand and said, "There are more than 200 people, you should know."

"Yes."

Qi Lang took the list and saw the rows of corpses in the church behind, he couldn't help but took a deep breath.

If the photos of these corpses are circulated, this year will definitely be unsettled.

"Master Su, it's better not to make a big deal about this, what do you think?" Qi Lang was a little worried, fearing that Su Xia would not let him go.

"Well, yes." Su Xia nodded.

"That's good."

Qi Lang breathed a sigh of relief, he had been uncertain before, but now he was a little bit sure.

But Su Xia said immediately, "I have a request."

"Master Su, tell me."

"It has to be done fairly."

"This……"

Qi Lang was startled, but didn't react for a while.

Chai An responded quickly: "Okay, Master Su, please rest assured that everyone involved in this matter will be punished as they should."

"That's right." Qi Lang nodded again and again, "Master Su, don't worry, I will definitely act impartially!"

"Okay, I'll be there anytime."

Su Xia also thought about making things big.

No matter how big the trouble is, he has a way to get out of the whirlpool, but the poor people behind him are different.

When it comes to death, no matter how small it is, it is unbearable for these ordinary people.

"Recently there are indeed a lot of things, and I also understand the mood of the city owner." Su Xia added, "This matter can be taken slowly, don't worry."

"It's good that Master Su understands."

Qi Lang sighed and sighed again and again, during this time he spent every day in fear.

This year, a bumpy year.

Hope next year will be better.
