Chapter 620 I'm Looking for Your Leader

Ma Qiangzhuang was not someone who had to enjoy power. In today's world, staying alive was the most important thing.

If they really run out of resources and have no other options, the worst that can happen is that all of them will be incorporated into the official base.

Could he be starving to death?

On the other side, Annan and Gu Zhiyu also remembered the official base.

So after lunch, we drove out to give the mutant sweet potato to Li Mingcheng.

Arriving at the official base again, the gate was still heavily guarded.

However, the number of people queuing in front of the door was obviously much smaller than last time.

Those survivors who were willing to join the base had almost all moved in.

The remaining survivors either did not want to join, or, like her in her previous life, could not even afford the ticket money for five kilograms of grain.

Therefore, most of the people at the gate now are original residents of the base. They just show their ID cards and go in directly. The efficiency is very high.

The two of them only waited in line for a few minutes and soon got their ID cards and entered the base smoothly.

The base looked very different from the last time they were here.

Many buildings were damaged by the earthquake. Some have been renovated and rebuilt, while others have simply been abandoned for various reasons.

When Chu Peipei and her family came to buy a house, they asked Annan about it. Her small house of 60 square meters has now been replaced with one of 100 square meters as compensation.

This time, they brought the key to their new house with them. One has to see for themselves what their own house looks like.

However, the two of them were not in a hurry to see the house, but prepared to do business first - they quickly handed the sweet potatoes to Li Mingcheng, and then asked him to take them to see the land.

That "small autonomous region" is much more important than this house.

The two of them strolled around the base but did not find Li Mingcheng's residence.

Gu Zhiyu knew about it before, but after the earthquake, many places had changed, and the place Gu Zhiyu knew about had become a dumping ground for construction waste.

Almost all the houses around here are small residential buildings, and none of them look like they would be where a big leader would live.

Apart from these residential buildings, other places are not accessible at will. Many are guarded by soldiers.

So after going around in a big circle, the two arrived at the office hall not far from the entrance of the base.

The work here is stable. The female staff member who helped them buy the house on the second floor through the back door last time is still there.

Annan went over to say hello.

The couple's looks and clothes were very outstanding, and the woman thought of them with just a slight reminder.

"It's you! Why, are you planning to buy a second house?"

Annan smiled and shook his head: "No. I'm used to living in my own villa outside. I haven't even lived in the one I bought before."

When you ask someone to do something for you, you naturally have to show your ability first so that they will do you a favor.

Sure enough, the woman's attitude became much more polite:

"You two are really strong. You have been living outside for a long time, but you still look so healthy."

You know, in today's world, it's very dangerous outside the base.

The two of them have been able to maintain their well-dressed and chubby appearance until now, which means they must be doing very well and have considerable abilities.

She rolled her eyes and asked, "So why are you looking for me...?"

Annan smiled and stated his purpose: "I'm here to see Uncle Li."

She deliberately called him "Uncle Li" to appear closer to the big leader.

Seeing the woman was confused, he explained, "It's the head of your official base, Li Mingcheng."

The woman was immediately startled, and her voice became a little higher: "Chief?"

Several staff members around looked over at once.

Now that there are fewer new people joining the base, the work in the office hall is much less busy. In addition, the lunch break has just ended, so the staff are basically resting and chatting.

When they heard someone was looking for the leader, their eyes were focused on the two of them.

Facing the scrutinizing and inquiring eyes of the crowd, Annan nodded calmly:

"Yes. The elders in my family are friends with Uncle Li. We met him two days ago and he said we can come to see him anytime."

After a pause, he continued, "But I didn't ask for the specific address at that time. I just walked around the base and couldn't find where his office or residence was. So I wanted to come here to ask."

The woman looked embarrassed. This base was larger than an average small county town. How could she, a small office clerk, know where the chief lived?

So I just told him what I knew: "There is only one office hall in the base. The offices of other leaders are not set up in a unified office building, so I really don't know where the chief's office is."

"As for private residences, I have no idea..."

Before Annan could say anything else, a young clerk not far away rolled his eyes and said sarcastically:

"Nowadays, there are all kinds of people, and some even try to get close to the chief! If the chief really asks her to come and look for him, how could she not even know where he lives?"

Annan glanced at him and ignored him.

Last time she was in a hurry to go home and did not inquire about Li Mingcheng's address in detail.

So he turned sideways, blocking the view of others, and quietly stuffed two boxes of cigarettes into the woman's clothes:

"I know you can't contact the chief, but you can find your leader. Please help me inform the higher authorities."

The official base is not that big, so you can find it quickly by searching one level at a time.

The woman hesitated for only a moment, then quietly put away her cigarette and went upstairs to the office to find her leader.

The staff member who had been sneering before, seeing the woman actually go upstairs, sneered and complained to the people around him:

"She actually went when I asked her to! How funny! She's not afraid of getting scolded."

But the woman's idea was different from his. She thought, after all, it's just a matter of telling the leader, and it won't hurt anyone.

Even if she was scolded, so what? She still had two boxes of cigarettes! They would be worth a lot of money if they were sold.

It was obvious at first glance that these two people were not ordinary people. What if they were really the chief's acquaintances or friends? If she just left them aside like this, that would be a big deal!

Women leaders think the same way.

Communication is of course necessary. If something happens, it should be reported to the higher-ups, so that they can make the decision. You just need to execute it yourself and not take responsibility on your own initiative.

So it was really reported up like this layer by layer.

Annan and the other man waited patiently in the office hall, and did not respond to the occasional sarcasm from the clerk who had come before them.

Soon, someone came to the office.

The young leader, who was sitting in the office upstairs drinking tea, saw outside the window a military armored vehicle driving over and stopping downstairs.

He immediately put down the teacup in his hand and trotted downstairs.

When he saw the newcomer, he was startled at first, then he hurried over to shake his hand: "Hey! Secretary Wu, why are you here?"
