Chapter 787 A Gift from the Emperor
After hearing the news, the two decided not to go out anymore.
Fortunately, no one dares to break into the villa area. No matter how chaotic it is outside, Villa No. 1 will not be disturbed.
In the past week, there has been only one visitor whom I had to receive.
Annan received a report from the guards and immediately asked them to let the people in.
Li Mingcheng strode into the house.
Not only did people come, they also brought gifts.
Annan said the classic polite words: "Uncle Li, you said you would come, so come. What else do you want to bring?"
While smiling, he instructed Secretary Wu: "Just put it here. Yes, put it here. Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Zhiyu, who was standing next to her, looked at her with an openly conceited look on her face and curled his lips slightly, thinking she was somewhat cute.
Li Mingcheng seemed to be in a good mood as well, and said with a smile:
"Thanks for your help that day! I came to thank you, so I have to bring some gifts to show my sincerity. I hope you don't mind."
Annan smiled and waved his hands: "You are so polite! How could we refuse such a big gift?"
She glanced at the big box that Secretary Wu had brought in and couldn't stop smiling.
The box was full of bullets.
Such a large box basically replenished all the bullets consumed in the war, and there was even some left over.
This great leader is really generous! He sent the weapons as soon as he asked. Ah Yu was right. I have never lost money by doing favors for Li Mingcheng.
Inviting Li Mingcheng and Secretary Wu to sit down in the living room, Annan brewed some fine tea.
Li Mingcheng sipped his tea, looked around, and praised:
"No wonder you asked me to leave the location of Villa No. 1 and build my own house. This house is really well built."
Annan laughed dryly and said, "I am nostalgic. I have already gotten used to the original house, so I renovated it to be exactly the same as the old one. I took all the building materials and furniture from there."
Li Mingcheng nodded and just casually praised him. He stopped paying attention to the house and said:
"I came here not only to say thank you, but also to apologize to you."
Annan was stunned for a moment: "Apologize?"
Li Mingcheng nodded and said, "It is our responsibility to guard the border of the base. But I failed to send reinforcements in time that day, putting you in danger. This is my dereliction of duty. I'm sorry."
So that's why. Annan looked at his serious expression and waved his hands to show that he didn't mind.
After all, the entire leadership compound was surrounded at that time, the decision-making level was cut off from the news, and Li Mingcheng himself was in danger, so naturally he could not arrange any help for her.
All I can say is that those thugs were smart and knew they had to attack both the family compound and the villa area at the same time.
Li Mingcheng still said: "It was because of our poor supervision and mistakes in policy that we almost let someone break through the southern wall."
Annan said nothing. That was true. If she hadn't collected so many hot weapons before, if it were someone else, the villa area would have been lost and the family would have been destroyed.
But she also understood the difficulties Li Mingcheng faced in his job.
The official base is not like the villa area. The villa area is only so big, so it is natural to arrange patrol teams to patrol back and forth around the walls of the villa area.
The area of the official base is almost as large as a small county town. It is not an easy task to patrol the perimeter without blind spots.
Not only would they need to add more patrol cars, but they would also need a large number of personnel, which would be equivalent to increasing the number of patrol personnel already in the base by several times.
How could this be so easy? The security in Yongye is too poor, but people are needed everywhere.
Li Mingcheng said, "I have already issued a recruitment order. We will send more people to patrol the perimeter of the base. We will also set up an additional garrison on the south wall, assign special personnel to guard it, and provide an additional tank."
tank?
Annan immediately smiled happily.
Gu Zhiyu, who had been silent on the side, also spoke up to express his gratitude: "Thank you very much, Chief Li."
Li Mingcheng smiled and nodded: "It's my duty."
It can be seen from this riot that the villa area is the most eye-catching place in the entire base, and the defense of the south wall should be improved.
If the south wall is not well defended, no matter how good the security of the base gate is, it will be useless and thugs will still rush into the base.
Annan nodded in agreement, and then sighed:
"But there won't be such large-scale riots in the future."
After this battle, it is estimated that there are not many people left in the entire northern region.
However, Zhao Pingan said that the population inside the base did not seem to have changed much compared to the early days of the Eternal Night. It can be seen that most of the thugs who had caused chaos inside were new residents.
Annan couldn't help but sigh: "This gang of thugs must have planned this long ago, working together from the inside and outside!"
Li Mingcheng nodded: "We have counted the past few days and found that the thugs who attacked the family compound and supermarket were basically new residents."
Of course, there were old residents as well, but they only accounted for less than 20% of the total number of rioters, and the main force was still the newcomers.
Judging from the situation, the thugs had clearly already prepared to annex the base, and were acting separately inside and outside.
The survivors who can still afford one pound of food are responsible for joining the base as insiders to attack family compounds and supermarkets.
The thugs who could not afford the ticket money were responsible for attacking from the outside - the attack points they chose were also very good. Instead of confronting the planes and tanks at the main gate head-on, they attacked the south wall with all their strength unexpectedly.
It really is a well-planned collaboration between the inside and outside.
If it weren't for the unexpected strength of Annan and others, the South Wall would have collapsed long ago.
I don’t know who the leaders of this wave are, but their planning is really amazing.
But no matter whose idea it was, all the thugs have been killed. Even if there are still some who are ready to make trouble, it won't cause any big trouble.
Secretary Wu, who was standing by, sighed as he looked at the bloodshot eyes of Li Mingcheng:
"Our leader had good intentions. He lowered the entry threshold to the base, recruited survivors who had struggled in the endless night, and stepped up the planting and distribution of sweet potatoes. It was those greedy people who were greedy..."
If the ticket price had not been reduced fivefold, there wouldn't have been so many people attacking the family compound that day.
Li Mingcheng smiled, but did not regret his previous actions:
"The purpose of establishing an official base is to protect the survivors as much as possible. Lowering the entry threshold is a necessary measure. Ultimately, it is because I did not do a good job of monitoring in the later stages."
