The next day, Li Mu stretched out his lazy waist and got up from the bed. He was currently in a hotel room, with electric lights, steel frame beds, barely clean bedding, and a faucet that would leak if twisted. It gave him a slight feeling of his past life.
He washed his face and picked up the card that was stuffed into the crack of the door and threw it into the trash can.
“Are you awake?”
Walking out of the room, Li Mu knocked on the door of the room next door.
“Awake! Awake!”
Li Mei walked out of the room. She was still wearing the same hemp jumpsuit, her hair was still damp and soft on her shoulders. Because of the poor quality shampoo provided by the hotel, there was a pungent scent.
They were staying in a hotel in the middle-class area, the price was barely reasonable.
“Has your hair dried?” Li Mu took the hair dryer out of the bathroom cabinet: “Sit down, I’ll blow your hair dry.”
“Ah? Oh!”
Li Mei sat obediently on the bed. Because of the shortage of East Xia industrial products, she had never used a hair dryer before.
Li Mu turned on the hair dryer, picked up a pile of hair, and carefully blew it dry. He found that Li Mei’s hair was very delicate, like good ebony, with a glossy shine that covered her cute little ears.
“Mission accomplished.”
After drying, the delicate hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and Li Mu patiently braided the braids.
“Hmm.”
Li Mei replied with a voice as thin as a mosquito’s.
“Today we’ll go to the Security Bureau to report for work, and then I’ll get you an identity as a security officer.”
Li Mu put down the hair dryer and said. Security officers have the power to appoint security officers, and only need to report to the Security Bureau.
The Security Bureau is located in the center of Avonigarda City, and the security chief is working inside. He is the top boss of all security officers in the Avonigarda Federation and holds great power.
Li Mu suspected that the person who transferred him from Raginbeard to Xin Linfen was the security chief.
The two of them came out of the room, and the stolen cow and Brahman bull were stored in the backyard of the hotel. Ordinary people could not handle the stolen cow, and were not afraid of being stolen. If something unexpected happened, Li Mu could directly take it back to the Exile Realm.
And Fei Lian has already been released for free activities.
He was preparing to take a carriage to the Security Bureau.
“Li Mu!”
A female voice suddenly echoed. Li Mu turns his head and sees a young woman leaning against the corridor with her shoulders crossed. She is a Xia person, with delicate and majestic features, a smile hidden on her lips, skin like solid tallow, and hair styled in a slight curly shawl.
She was wearing a slightly loose shirt paired with a lady’s suit, and a slimming nine-pencil pants with high heels. Her body was slim and graceful, stunningly beautiful.
“Who are you?” Li Mu’s face showed a wary expression, and his hand was on the handle of his knife without a trace.
The Avonigarda Hotel doesn’t require a real-name registration, so how did this woman recognize him?
“Avonigarda inspector, Shen Luoyan.” The woman took out her identification from her pocket and showed it to Li Mu.
In the Xingdu Federation, inspectors are directly under the chief of security and are responsible for supervising the duties of security officers.
Countless security officers acted as they pleased in their jurisdiction, but when facing inspectors, they had to behave, let alone senior inspectors.
“You’re seven days late from the reported date, did you spend all that time with this woman?”
Shen Luoyan walked up to Li Mu with her high heels. A fragrant aroma wafted towards him.
“Report, Chief. On my way to report to Avonigarda City, I was attacked by a group of zombies and got lost in the Great Swamp. According to the Management Law of Affair Officials, delays in reporting are allowed in the event of force majeure.”
Li Mu stood at attention, with a standard military posture.
There were too many accidents in the wasteland, so the requirements for reporting dates were not very strict, as long as they didn’t exceed a month.
Shen Luoyan smelled the bad shampoo odor on Li Mu’s head.
“What about this woman?”
“Report, Chief. She’s an escapee from East Xia, I met her, regained my direction, and escaped from the swamp.”
Shen Luoyan’s beautiful eyes looked over Li Mu from head to toe.
“She’s actually the first beautiful woman I’ve seen from East Xia. After joining, write a detailed report about all your experiences in the swamp, remember, all of them!”
She spoke, lifting her cheek and her cascading hair that spilled like a waterfall over her shoulder.
“Don’t think about lying, there will be psychic lie detectors who will come to test you.”
It is a highly dangerous thing for the security officer to have close contact with the escapee, especially in the case where Li Mu himself is a summer person.
The invasion of Avonigarda Province by East Xia may not cause much loss to ordinary farmers, but the large landowners and business owners suffer heavy losses each time, and they hold a deep-seated hatred towards East Xia.
“Received!”
Li Mu performed a military salute.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the security headquarters to report.”
Shen Luoyan walked ahead, her high heels tapping on the ground and making crisp sounds.
Li Mei pulled Li Mu’s sleeve and gave him a look that said “this woman is really awesome”, and Li Mu signaled her to be patient with his gaze.
In order to survive in the security officer’s position, one cannot offend this woman.
Shen Luoyan’s ride was a rugged off-road vehicle, Li Mu could not recognize the brand, but from the massive body and the shining metal blue paint, it was evident that it was worth a lot. This was a car he could not afford in his previous life, let alone in the post-apocalyptic world where industrial prices were skyrocketing.
“Get in the car.”
The tall and slender Shen Luoyan sat in the driver’s seat and appeared somewhat petite.
Li Mu opened the door for Li Mei first, then walked to the other side, ready to get in the car.
“Sit in the front.”
Shen Luoyan pointed to the passenger seat and then started the car. Li Mu, who had not yet entered the car, heard the muffled roar of the fuel engine and guessed it was probably a twelve-cylinder.
This woman is a rich woman.
This thought popped into Li Mu’s mind, how much greed must one have to afford such a car.
After the disaster, humanity was separated into one isolated island after another by geography and family, and the Xingdu Federation was limited in oil and gas resources. After the disaster, because there were no imports, the price of gasoline skyrocketed, and it was simply not affordable for ordinary people.
“Your current position is very dangerous.”
Shen Luoyan, holding the steering wheel, said.
“Report to the chief officer, being a security officer never fears danger.”
Li Mu said.
A cross rose on Shen Luoyan’s forehead.
“Don’t give me that official tone, talk properly.”
“I have no other way besides coming to take office, if I refuse to perform my duties, then the six years of military school will be wasted.”
Li Mu said with a bad tone, this was the true thoughts of his previous life, refusing to perform his duties would result in a serious punishment, the graduation certificate would be retrieved, and he would never be hired again.
“It was the security director who personally transferred you to Avonigarda, she has high hopes for you.”
Shen Luoyan said.
“Then thank the director for her support.”
Li Mu felt the comfort of the leather seat.
“It seems you don’t know that the security director is the granddaughter of General Shen.”
