Zhang Chuan shook his head firmly and said, "It's impossible. I've said it before. The people in the base are very hostile to superpowers. If the commander is a superpower, how can he become the commander? Besides, we superpowers have a special energy fluctuation, which I don't feel in the commander."
"Then how did he suppress those people by himself?" Li Mu continued to ask. There was definitely something wrong with this so-called commander.
Zhang Chuan shook his head and said, "I don't know. There was no one else at the scene. I can only say that the commander-in-chief is omnipotent!"
"Captain Zhang, it is a taboo to make irresponsible remarks about the commander-in-chief!" At this moment, a cold voice sounded behind Zhang Chuan.
Zhang Chuan's heart trembled, and he looked back, only to see a man in a long robe standing silently behind him at some point.
"Mr. Qi, I..." Zhang Chuan wanted to explain.
The man interrupted him with an impatient look on his face: "Since you have worked diligently for the base, I will not report this to the higher-ups this time. Go back and write a self-criticism of no less than 10,000 words and hand it in to my office before this time tomorrow and we'll leave it at that."
"Yes, thank you Mr. Qi." Zhang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.
After dealing with Zhang Chuan, Mr. Qi looked at Li Mu and said to him elegantly, "Haha, everyone, what happened with Secretary Cai just now was a complete misunderstanding. I would like to apologize to you all here first."
Li Mu smiled faintly and did not say anything. This Mr. Qi was also a super-powered person, and like Zhang Chuan, he was also at the second level, but his status in this base was completely different.
Mr. Qi seemed to be unconcerned about Li Mu's attitude and continued to say to Li Mu and the others, "Ladies and gentlemen, Secretary Liu has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, and Li Mu wanted to go in to understand the situation, so he stood up and followed Mr. Qi towards the depths of the command center. Xu Ling and the other two naturally followed closely, and Zhang Chuan also followed at Mr. Qi's signal.
Along the way, Mr. Qi enthusiastically introduced the command center to Li Mu and others. The entire command center was divided into five areas, namely the scientific research office area for various experts and engineers, the experimental area, the office area for the base leadership, the large-scale conference and combat command area, and the commander-in-chief's office. Each area has tens of thousands of square meters, and Secretary Liu's office is in the leadership office area.
"What the hell is the Commander-in-Chief's Headquarters? Does the commander-in-chief alone occupy one-fifth of the entire headquarters?" Xu Ling and the other two felt puzzled, but they did not raise the question as they were afraid of being accused of making irresponsible remarks about the commander-in-chief.
After walking through a long corridor, Mr. Qi stopped in front of an office and knocked gently on the door: "Secretary Liu, the guests have arrived."
"Bring them in." A majestic voice came from the office.
Mr. Qi carefully opened the door and led Li Mu and others in.
This is an extremely luxurious office with an area of more than 100 square meters. Although it is simply decorated, it has a lot of furniture and furnishings. The temperature inside is several degrees above zero. Compared with the outside world, it is simply a paradise.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses was sitting at his desk reviewing documents. After Li Mu and his companions came in, he did not put down his work and motioned for Li Mu and his companions to wait a moment.
Li Mu was not in a hurry. He walked straight to the sofa and sat down. Although Mr. Qi frowned slightly, he glanced at Secretary Liu who was still concentrating on correcting documents, but did not say much.
So, Mr. Qi and Zhang Chuan still stood respectfully in front of Secretary Liu waiting, while Li Mu sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. Xu Ling and the other two were a little hesitant and did not sit down, but just stood behind Li Mu, looking around at the furnishings in the office with their small eyes.
The scene suddenly became extremely quiet, with only the sound of Secretary Liu writing on paper.
Half an hour later, Secretary Liu finally finished reviewing the documents, put the cap on his pen, and said to Li Mu with an apologetic look on his face: "My dear friend, I have kept you waiting for a long time. I hope you can forgive me for neglecting you all!"
"It's okay! Secretary Liu is busy with official duties, which is understandable." Li Mu said lightly.
"Haha, I'm just trying to do my bit for the revival of human civilization." Secretary Liu waved his hand.
Li Mu did not comment. He just passed by Secretary Liu's desk and glanced at the document he was reviewing. He saw a few big words on the top of the document: "Commander-in-Chief's Thought Study Experience"
"I heard that you are interested in joining our Spark Base?" Secretary Liu asked.
"Let's take a look first." Li Mu said lightly.
"Sir, do you think this is a vegetable market? You can't come and go as you please?" Mr. Qi frowned.
Secretary Liu waved his hand and said, "Xiao Qi, you're going a bit too far. Our Spark Base is the spark of human civilization, so it's natural to be reasonable. Whether you guys join or not is a two-way choice, so how can you force it?"
Mr. Qi bowed and stepped aside without saying anything more.
"Originally, we did intend to join the base. After all, humans are social animals. If we are alone and weak outside, we will be in danger of our future and feel insecure. But just now, your Director Cai really opened our eyes! Haha~" Li Mu smiled faintly.
Secretary Liu frowned and asked Mr. Qi, "Xiao Qi, what's going on?"
Mr. Qi quickly told Secretary Liu what had just happened at the entrance of the command department.
Secretary Liu snorted coldly upon hearing this: "Humph~ This Cai Hongmin is so bold and reckless. She actually relied on the little power in her hands to dare to act so recklessly. This matter must be dealt with seriously!"
"Secretary Liu, don't worry. I have already dealt with Director Cai's case." Mr. Qi said respectfully.
"Well, you did a great job on this matter." Secretary Liu nodded slightly, then looked at Li Mu and said, "My friend, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, but I assure you that Cai Hongmin is just an isolated case. The people in our base are all ambitious and dedicated to the continuation of human civilization. Such things will never happen again!"
Li Mu just smiled. Secretary Liu's acting skills were very good, but how could he hide it from Li Mu's eyes? He had seen too many people and experienced too many things in his life. Secretary Liu obviously knew what Cai Hongmin had done. Now he pretended to be so powerful and awe-inspiring just to steady himself.
"Secretary Liu, let's not beat around the bush. I do have the technology to allow modern machinery to work normally in this extreme weather. I can contribute it to human civilization, but I have a condition." Li Mu said with a smile.
"Please speak, young friend." Secretary Liu was delighted. He was not afraid of Li Mu's conditions. He was just afraid that Li Mu would be stubborn and would refuse to share the technology in his hands. After all, technology is stored in other people's minds, and even if you use force, you may not be able to pry it out of their mouths completely.
"I will take the position of commander-in-chief from now on." Li Mu said calmly.
