Chapter 622 Give You Two Soldiers

The male clerk who had been so arrogant before, immediately sat down on his workstation like a frost-bitten eggplant after receiving the leader's gaze.

"This is over..."

He is definitely going to be unemployed.

the other side.

An Nan and Gu Zhiyu drove a black Knight, following Secretary Wu's car, and soon arrived at Li Mingcheng's residence.

To her surprise, the place where this powerful leader lived was not a villa complex or a small house, but just an ordinary residential building.

The only difference from other residential buildings is that this building is in a separate courtyard.

There is a gate outside the courtyard, and there are special guards outside the gate. The security and privacy will be stronger than ordinary residential areas.

This building has six floors and two units in total, and each floor has one household per elevator.

By this calculation, there should be twelve houses in the whole building.

Annan guessed that this was probably the official family building where important leaders and their families probably lived.

However, the door of the house on the first floor of the first unit was different from that of the other houses on the floor above. It had no lock and was not a security door. It looked more like the door of a general unit meeting room.

This is probably where these leaders gather for meetings.

Li Mingcheng lived on the top floor of Unit 1. The two followed Secretary Wu and walked up the stairs without any obstruction.

When they reached the sixth floor, Secretary Wu took the key and led the two people directly into the house.

The house is of the most common layout, about 100 square meters, with three bedrooms and two living rooms.

There was no one in the living room. Secretary Wu motioned for them to wait for a moment and went into one of the rooms.

Soon, he opened the door and invited the two to come in.

This is Li Mingcheng's study.

There were a lot of things piled up inside. Li Mingcheng was sitting at the desk on the east side, writing something intently.

After looking around, Annan felt that this was not only a study, but also his chief's office.

Because in another corner, there was a small desk that looked like Secretary Wu's.

This design is also very good, you can work at home. It saves resources and you don't have to run back and forth between home and office in this cold weather.

Li Mingcheng quickly put down the pen in his hand and politely greeted Annan and Gu Zhiyu:

"Hello, nice to see you again."

After a few brief pleasantries, Annan went straight to the point: "Uncle Li, we came here this time because we want to give you something."

As he spoke, he told the other party about the existence and effects of the mutant sweet potato.

In order to increase credibility, he also mentioned the Eastern authorities. However, he did not mention the specific events that happened in Jesan City, but only said that they were brought back from the Eastern authorities.

Li Mingcheng sat at his desk, his face becoming more and more excited as he listened. By the end, his eyes were glowing.

"Okay! That's great!"

"More than three years after the natural disaster, food has become increasingly scarce, and we have been trying to restore planting. But the weather changes are so extreme that we had just harvested a batch of heat-resistant crops and had not had time to popularize them before the extreme cold came."

During this period, Li Mingcheng was busy developing low-temperature resistant crops, and they suddenly brought such good news.

Sweet potatoes can grow in any environment and temperature...

Doesn’t that mean that even if the extreme cold ends suddenly and some other natural disaster strikes, these sweet potatoes will still survive!

This is the real good stuff! Much better than their high temperature resistant crops.

Even Secretary Wu, who was standing by, became excited.

Having had previous experience with Gu Zhiyu, Li Mingcheng had little doubt about the authenticity of this matter and immediately asked:

"Where is the stuff?"

“In our car.”

Soon, all the sweet potato seedlings that the two brought were brought up.

Li Mingcheng looked at these sweet potatoes with such cherishing eyes as if he was looking at his own children.

He murmured, "Can they really grow at any temperature?"

Then, without waiting for Annan and the others to reply, he continued to talk to himself: "Of course! It's so cold, I'm freezing, but these little guys are still so lively..."

He calmed down his excitement and took the initiative to ask Annan and Gu Zhiyu:

"You have sent such a precious gift. What do you want?"

Annan grinned and said in a high-sounding manner: "No requirements. It is also our wish for all the survivors of Fuze."

Then he paused and said: "Of course, it would be better if I could change it into a promise."

Li Mingcheng was in high spirits, and almost always agreed to whatever was asked: "What promise?"

Annan said seriously: "If we are in trouble, at a time of life and death, you lend us a hand."

That's it?

Li Mingcheng decisively decided: "Of course! Even if it hadn't happened today, I would not stand by and watch you die, considering my friendship with your mother."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to add a condition: "When the land is completed and you move in, I can send you two soldiers to guard outside and obey your orders to protect your safety."

Annan and Gu Zhiyu looked at each other, and their eyes lit up.

They were worried that there was no one to guard the gate of the "small autonomous region".

The construction of such a special area would inevitably attract the attention and inquiries of other survivors, so they would have to find a way to guard the gate.

I had thought about using sweet potatoes to exchange conditions with Li Mingcheng to resolve this issue.

However, the private use of weapons by officers and soldiers will inevitably make people feel wary and resentful.

Li Mingcheng's initiative to bring it up saved them the trouble.

So I decided decisively: "Thank you so much, Uncle Li!"

After the few people had agreed, Li Mingcheng could not wait to say to Secretary Wu: "Go, invite Professor Zheng over!"

After Secretary Wu left, he explained with a smile:

"To be honest, the secret mission I went on yesterday was to ask this professor to help solve the problem of grain planting."

"Professor Zheng is a scientist specializing in this field. I originally wanted to invite him to help with research and development, but I didn't expect you to directly send us a ready-made mutant sweet potato..."

"As long as he is here, we will soon be able to safely and effectively grow these sweet potatoes on a large scale. We can even develop mutant potatoes and mutant yams based on this..."

Li Mingcheng became happier the more he spoke. Isn't this the solution to the people's biggest problem of survival?

Let’s not talk about natural disasters, but at least we can all have a full meal!

Soon, there was knock on the door again.

Secretary Wu brought in three people.

A man in his fifties or sixties, wearing glasses and with a refined temperament.

A woman about his own age, but well-maintained and very beautiful.

There was also a boy about ten years old.

When Annan saw the boy's appearance, he was stunned for a moment.
