On a private jet, Bai Liguo was reviewing documents.
Two people were sitting opposite him.
Major Yan and Yang Chengang were both a little nervous. They used to see this person often on the news broadcast, but now they were seeing him in person.
The aroma of tea wafted in front of the two of them.
Licking his lips, Yang Chengang really wanted to drink it. He hadn't drunk tea since the apocalypse, and neither had Major Yan, but neither dared to make a move.
Young Master Yan sat upright, his back straight.
Yang Chengang wasn't sitting very upright; his head didn't move, but his eyes darted around.
He wasn't someone who hadn't seen the world, but could an ordinary person just visit the office of the country's top leader whenever they wanted?
If you don't watch it now, you'll never have the chance again.
Looking down at the clear tea, even nine years into the apocalypse, those who could still serve tea to guests, if they held up ten fingers, would be fewer than ten.
Take a deep breath; if tea leaves are left out for too long and not stored properly, they'll start to crumble.
Even a cup of tea with broken leaves isn't something everyone can just drink whenever they want.
Yang Chengang was ecstatic. Stepping out the door, he could boast to others that a national leader had invited him for tea.
The cargo ship arrived at the port in the evening. As soon as they disembarked, Chief Bai's guards sent a car to pick them up and take them to a business jet.
The information about Zuo Ling's family was mostly mentioned by Chief Lin during his satellite phone call with Bai Liguo, but Bai Liguo still read it carefully, word by word.
He put down the documents, took off his reading glasses, and smiled at Major Yan and Yang Chengang, saying:
"You've come all this way, thank you for your hard work."
Major Yan had two main tasks: first, to escort Yang Chengang and his group back; second, to deliver the collected information to Bai Liguo; and third, to handle some official business.
Guo Qi, Di Fei, and Chen Hao stayed with Commander Lin's troops, and Yang Chengang became the leader of the cargo ship.
"No...no hardship, no hardship, Commander...Commander, you've worked hard."
Those in positions of authority naturally exude an aura of power; even when they are smiling, they can inspire a sense of unease in others.
“Perfect timing, I haven’t eaten yet. Come eat with me, we can talk while we eat.”
Bai Liguo told the orderly to serve him food.
Major Yan and Yang Chengang looked pleasantly surprised. What a wonderful thing! To dine at the same table as the country's top leader. They could brag about it for years to come.
Stir-fried celery, cold tomato salad, stewed potatoes and green beans, sweet potato pancakes, and millet porridge.
The dishes are simple yet refreshing.
Having just left the small island, where resources were plentiful, Yang Chengang had taken good care of himself and was well-fed, so he wasn't too hungry.
Major Yan wouldn't do; the climate is unpredictable, and at their base, vegetables like tomatoes and green beans are nowhere to be found.
At most, we plant some small green vegetables, but they don't grow well, the yield is low, and by the time they reach him, only a few are left.
I thought to myself, no wonder it's a national-level base, it's much better than theirs.
Bai Liguo smiled broadly:
"You came at the right time. If it had been a month earlier, I wouldn't have been able to eat these things."
Major Yan and Yang Chengang were very surprised. A month ago they couldn't even get food, and now... what happened?
"Zuo Ling's family is back. Thanks to her, the plantation is finally starting to look up."
There was a hint of pride hidden in Bai Liguo's voice.
Have Zuo Ling's family returned?
Major Yan and Yang Chengang were both somewhat surprised. They had seen Chief Bai looking at the documents carefully earlier and thought he hadn't returned yet.
"Come on, come on, let's eat, let's eat."
Major Yan didn't stand on ceremony, displaying the demeanor of a soldier, and shoved the food into his mouth with bold, sweeping motions.
Yang Chengang, on the other hand, was somewhat reserved.
"Xiao Yang, eat, eat, don't be shy."
At the dinner table, Bai Liguo asked about the details of how Yang Chengang and Zuo Ling met.
From the very beginning, shopping at his store, helping Zuo Ling buy oil, purchasing the Doomsday Chariot, not knowing the Ice and Snow Continent across the sea, being rescued by Zuo Ling's family in the sea, and all the things in Tangren Village.
Most of the information is in the documents, but Bai Liguo still prefers to listen to the people involved and occasionally asks questions that he cares about, asking very detailed questions.
For example, what did they buy from your store? How much charcoal did they buy, how much protective gear... and how much did they spend?
Hearing that Zuo Ling spent 100 million to buy the Doomsday Chariot, I was speechless. This girl is so generous!
Noah's Ark cost 170 million, and the Doomsday Chariot cost another 100 million. I wonder where she got so much money.
Yang Chengang answered without any reservations, including telling Zuo Ling that he had asked him to buy oil twice, how much he bought each time, and that he had sold her two toy guns.
Given Zuo Ling's abilities, she probably wouldn't be afraid of people finding out, so Yang Chengang answered without any psychological burden.
The climate of the Ice and Snow Continent is harsh, and Bai Liguo wonders if Zuo Ling and her brother have masochistic tendencies, and why they went there.
The fact that they could trade surplus scallions and cilantro under extremely harsh weather conditions indicates that they were living quite well.
Yang Chengang still vividly remembers the scene of Zuo Ling using her ice powers to clash with an underwater volcano, and the listeners were also shocked by the situation.
Finally, after escaping from the island, they talked and ate, and the meal lasted for more than two hours.
The speaker was hoarse from talking, while the listeners were left wanting more.
Major Yan had heard many stories from people on the cargo ship, but hearing them from different people gave him a different feeling.
Bai Liguo's expression remained impassive, but his mind was in turmoil.
Old Lin is cunning; all the information he provided consisted of declarative sentences, without a single summary or conclusion.
However, the words reveal a crucial piece of information: one of Pei Nansheng's siblings must possess dual or even multiple superpowers.
Bai Liguo asked cryptically, weaving many of the questions he wanted to know into his answers.
Zuo Ling's ice ability and Pei Nansheng's fire ability have been confirmed.
The ability to cultivate plants indicates that Zuo Ling also possesses plant-based superpowers.
Dual-elemental abilities have already broken the norm, but judging from the information received and Yang Chengang's account, Zuo Ling and her brother have more than three abilities.
