Zaixiang Town, located in the southwest of Yezhou Province, is a subordinate township of the Southwest Autonomous Prefecture for Ethnic Minorities. Its original name was Machang Town.

But a hundred years ago, there was a Lu Yu who served as prime minister of the Great Zhou Empire for two terms. During Lu Yu's administration, he gave a lot of policy preferences to the southwest region.

As a result, Machang Town, his hometown, has also developed greatly, from an unknown remote town to the second largest town in the entire Yezhou Province, with a permanent population of nearly 300,000.

The infrastructure of Machang Town can be described as luxurious. It is guarded by two 4A-level scenic spots and is dotted with orchards, hotels, and farmhouses. It also has modern transportation facilities such as an airport and a high-speed rail station that are not available in general county-level cities.

In order to thank Lu Yu for his contribution to the development of his hometown, it is also to allow Machang Town, which focuses on natural scenery, to add some cultural landscapes and diversified development, so as to improve its competitiveness in the increasingly competitive tourism market.

Machang Town was officially renamed Prime Minister Town two years ago, and the former residence of Lu Yu was also restored.

Gu Chengyuan's family lived on the pedestrian street of Prime Minister Town. His mother ran a small supermarket, and his father was an ordinary imperial civil servant.

It has been almost two weeks since the apocalypse broke out. The once beautiful, peaceful and livable Prime Minister Town has been completely shattered. The streets are littered with charred car wreckage, blocking the escape routes of countless people.

Dark red blood splatters could be seen everywhere, and the streets were full of zombies wandering aimlessly, but as soon as there was any movement, they would rush over like sharks smelling blood.

South Ring Road of Zaixiang Town is the focus of the next step of Zaixiang Town’s planning, and government agencies have already moved in here in advance.

Because the planning and construction has just begun, the South Ring Road is still relatively desolate. Apart from government agencies, there are also some resettlement communities under construction.

Fortunately, due to the desolation and sparse population of this place, when the apocalypse broke out, the police officers from the police station not far from the town government, led by the station chief Fang Wu, quickly controlled the situation and launched a rescue operation in a timely manner.

This allowed the government agencies here to retain some vitality after the apocalypse broke out and avoid being wiped out.

Under the leadership of the surviving government, Prime Minister Town initially established a small settlement based on the South Ring Road.

But then a series of problems also arose: how to carry out rescue, how to play the role of the government, and how to organize it?

Faced with the earth-shaking changes in human civilization, these grassroots leaders rooted in small towns are really hard to judge from the perspective of their abilities and insights.

Just maintaining the operation of the small settlement and dealing with the survivors pouring in from all over the place every day is exhausting.

Not to mention the development and survival of the base, as well as the planning issues of sending rescue forces to the city.

At this moment, Fang Wu, director of the town police station, had an idea and thought of Gu Jianguo who was on vacation at home.

As the mayor of the neighboring Tianze City, he is a big shot. Not only can he lead the rescue work of the entire town, but he can also lead the work of the entire autonomous prefecture. In terms of rank and qualifications, there is no problem.

Gu Jianguo, who was rescued by the police from the police station, was also gladly invited and began to lead the work at the gathering place.

At the gathering place for prime ministers, Gu Jianguo had just finished his work for the day. He turned off the desk lamp, stood up and stretched his sore shoulders and neck, then slowly walked to the window of the office and quietly looked into the northwest direction, with an indelible sadness between his brows.

The sound of a lighter was heard, and a red dot of varying brightness lit up in the dim room.

As the atomized cigarette passed through his lungs and came out of his nostrils and mouth, Gu Jianguo felt that a lot of his stress was also relieved.

After their own vigorous rectification, the originally chaotic and disorderly gathering place has gradually stabilized.

But precisely because he was deeply involved in the work of the gathering place and had seen too many families broken up and people killed due to the end of the world, Gu Jianguo became increasingly worried about his two sons.

The survival rate is so low in a county with such a small population density. How difficult must it be for my two sons to survive in a big city with a population of tens of millions?

Although he is still the head of a place, the energy he can mobilize is much smaller than before the end of the world. It is so small that even in a place where only a few thousand people gather, there are many people and forces that he needs to compromise with.

In particular, among these people and forces, there are still evil forces that dare not show up before the crackdown at the end of the world.

The gathering place had just stabilized, and the flames of many people's struggle for power began to ignite again, trying desperately to grab the benefits for themselves.

He couldn't even integrate his strength in the gathering place, and was surrounded and unable to split himself up, so how could he save his son?

Gu Jianguo had recently thought about just leaving and taking his wife to look for his children himself, but when he thought about those ordinary people in the gathering place, he couldn't protect them even with his power and majesty before the end of the world. If he left, wouldn't those beasts become even more lawless?

Moreover, as time went by in the apocalypse, there was no news from the Great Zhou court, and the gangsters in the gathering place seemed to be getting more and more unscrupulous. Especially during today's meeting, the attitude of the police station chief who had always supported him also subtly changed.

Gu Jianguo also knew the reason. He ordered the execution of his distant relative, who was an idle social thug before the end of the world. After the end of the world, he thought his uncle, the director, had become powerful.

Together with a bunch of bad friends, he dared to rape a junior high school girl in the gathering place. This undoubtedly touched Gu Jianguo's sore spot.

Ignoring Director Fang Wu's pleas for mercy, he executed the gang with a tough attitude, but this also created a rift between him and Fang Wu.

Gu Jianguo had also heard the rumors of discord. It was nothing more than that Fang Wu was loyal, but he, Gu Jianguo, showed no mercy and just worked like a dog for him.

Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The change in attitude of the armed groups in the gathering place has caused Gu Jianguo's control and deterrence over the gathering place to decline rapidly.

It seems that I can’t take care of anyone, including my family and the people.

Thinking of this, Gu Jianguo felt a tightness in his chest, as if he couldn't vent his frustration.
