Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 863 Public Space
"Let us welcome the successor to the Qinghua National Alliance Officer, Comrade Li Sikai."
The bigwigs and reporters at the press conference all applauded. They knew roughly what would happen before they arrived.
But the audience in front of the TV were all confused and had no idea what Chief Alliance Officer Li was doing.
Weren't we supposed to talk about the food crisis today? How come we ended up talking about "appointing a crown prince"?
When everyone was puzzled, General Alliance Officer Li spoke up: "I know you have a lot of doubts, so next, let me reveal the mystery to you. What you will see next may subvert your previous cognition, but please believe that this unscientific thing really exists."
Li Sikai nodded, introduced himself to everyone, and then explained: "I am a space ability user."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene. Everyone suspected that they were hallucinating and whispered to the people around them, trying to confirm whether they had heard it wrongly.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan looked at each other, with indescribable surprise in their eyes, but they also felt that it was as it should be.
Li Sikai on TV seemed to know everyone's general reaction and stopped for three minutes before continuing speaking.
"I am a space user, and my space can be used for planting. Although Qinghua is facing a food crisis, my space can provide the alliance with a steady supply of food. Although the quantity is limited, it will not be cut off. As long as everyone works together, we can get through the difficulties.
So, please keep your hope, dear friends watching TV, we will have a better tomorrow one day."
As if he was worried that everyone would not believe him, Li Sikai performed a magic trick in front of everyone. He made the cup on the desk disappear in an instant, and then made the staff next to him disappear.
"Oh my God!" There was a burst of exclamations at the scene, and the people behind the couple opened their mouths wide. In order to cope with the situation, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan also pretended to be very surprised.
An An Nuan Nuan didn't quite understand and kept pointing at the TV and shouting, "Uncle Li Sikai!"
Shen Yanming nodded in agreement: "Well, your Uncle Li has returned to the Imperial Capital."
An An tilted his head and asked, "Can we still see Uncle Skye?"
Shen Yanming hesitated, then smiled and nodded: “If we are destined to be together, yes.”
An An Nuan Nuan didn’t understand the hidden meaning, but when she knew they could meet again, she clapped her hands in joy.
The speaker may not mean anything, but the listener may take it seriously. Although Shen Yanming lowered his voice, the survivors and guards nearby heard it. This also confirmed the rumors of the guards before, that Shen Yanming's family had connections with the Imperial Capital.
I originally thought that they were connected to a big shot in the Imperial Capital. But who would have thought that the couple actually had a close relationship with the next chief alliance officer?
This is too unbelievable. I really can't afford to offend him anymore.
The couple didn't take it seriously and came back to their senses when they saw the staff reappearing on TV.
The staff member handed a mobile phone to Li Sikai and said to the camera: "This is the interior scene of the space that I photographed."
Li Sikai took it and thanked him, then connected the phone to the projection device. After the operation, everyone saw the lush and green farmland of hundreds of acres.
An An Nuan Nuan saw that the mulberry tree had grown up and said excitedly: "Mom, the little tree has grown up, and there are so many fruits!"
Bi Qiaoan's eyes flashed, and he quickly told the two babies to shut up.
This sounds fine at first, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that the couple has known about the existence of space for a long time.
Fortunately, everyone was paying attention to the interior of the space and no one noticed what was happening on their side.
Bi Qiaoan nodded perfunctorily and whispered in An An Nuan Nuan's ear: "Baby, let's concentrate on watching TV, okay? Have you forgotten what Uncle Skye said?"
The two babies' eyes rolled, and they remembered how the adults had repeatedly warned them not to tell anyone about what happened in the space. So they nodded and pursed their lips.
In order to show her determination, Nuannuan pinched her little hands on her mouth.
An An followed suit and put his little hands next to his mouth, laughing.
Bi Qiaoan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and rubbed the two treasures' heads. He looked up at the TV screen and saw that the fruit trees that were planted in the space had grown up, and wild vegetables and mushrooms were crowded under the trees. In the distance were the familiar wheat, rice and soybeans, as well as corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Several guards were harvesting ripe crops. They faced the camera and smiled happily.
The camera turned and everyone saw the warehouse. The densely packed food inside dazzled everyone's eyes.
"Oh my god, there's so much food!"
"This amount of food is enough to last a lifetime, right?"
"If only we had that much food. People who have space are so happy!"
"Yes, look at him. He is so young and yet he can become the successor to the chief alliance officer. What a great fortune!"
Shen Yanming listened to the discussions of the people behind him, his mouth twitched, and he thought to himself that it was really naive.
How much did Li Sikai pay for this space?
The person who used to live behind the scenes was pushed to the front and discussed. Moreover, he was watched by the people of the whole country and protected by dozens of guards. In his opinion, it was like living a life worse than death.
Of course, those who are power-hungry are excluded. But obviously, Li Sikai is not that kind of person.
"Don't be sour. We can't farm outside. We can only have food to eat if there are people around. If you want to live a long and stable life, you should pray that Li Sikai can live a hundred years!"
"Yes, yes, fortunately there is a person with special abilities, otherwise, we don't know what to do!"
The couple listened to the discussions of the people behind them and smiled, thinking that this press conference arranged by General Alliance Officer Li should be able to achieve the desired effect.
Li Sikai on TV was still talking incessantly, and the couple didn't pay attention to what he said.
However, his pupils shrank, his body swayed slightly, and his face turned pale. Then the corners of his lips curled up, his face was smiling, and his eyes were shining with stars.
Bi Qiaoan smiled: "It seems that I got what I wanted."
Shen Yanming nodded: "I hope it upgrades smoothly." It would be best if it could upgrade three or five levels in a row.
At the end of the press conference, Chief Alliance Officer Li said many encouraging words.
And: "Dear viewers, if you are a superpower, please contact the Imperial Capital Guard as soon as possible. We don't care whether you are a space superpower or another superpower. We just hope that you can stand up and work with us to unlock the secrets of superpowers and fight against the end of the world.
Once confirmed, the special ability person will enjoy the highest treatment of the guard team. Whether it is food, safety, or privacy, we will provide you with all-round protection. The Imperial Guard is looking forward to your joining. "
Chief Alliance Officer Li never expected anyone to sign up. He just didn't want his nephew to be the most special one, so he deliberately threw out a smoke bomb.
