"How dare you!" Mr. Qi and Zhang Chuan shouted in unison, preparing to capture Li Mu.
Secretary Liu stopped the two of them, stared at Li Mu and asked, "Young man, are you serious?"
Li Mu also stared at Secretary Liu. After a while, he laughed and said, "Haha, Secretary Liu, I was just kidding you. This base was built by the commander-in-chief. I'm naturally embarrassed to reap his fruits."
Secretary Liu snorted in his heart: "I don't think you have the guts to do that!"
"So, my friend, what are your real needs?" Secretary Liu asked in a deep voice.
"I don't need the position of commander-in-chief, but you all know the value of my technology. With this technology, your territory will be greatly expanded and will no longer be isolated. I hope I can have all the command power under the commander-in-chief!" Li Mu said calmly.
"Haha, my friend, you have a big appetite! Even I don't have such authority." Secretary Liu sneered.
"What? Your base doesn't even have this little sincerity? In that case, then we have nothing to talk about." Li Mu said with narrowed eyes.
Secretary Liu thought for a while and said to Li Mu, "I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to consult the commander-in-chief first."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Of course. If you agree right away, that would be weird."
Secretary Liu then walked into a small room, dialed a number on the landline, and told the other party what had happened here.
Not long after, Secretary Liu came out and said to Li Mu: "Our commander wants to see you."
Li Mu nodded slightly and said, "Yes!"
Having said that, he stood up and walked out of the office with Secretary Liu.
"Ladies, please stay. The only person our commander wants to see is this gentleman." Secretary Liu stopped Xu Ling and the other two who were following Li Mu.
"Haha, that won't work. What if you do something bad to them while I'm away? After all, this is your territory three hundred meters underground." Li Mu said with a smile.
Secretary Liu withdrew his hands that were holding back Xu Ling and the other two. Now he should focus on the overall situation. There was no need to create conflicts with Li Mu over such a small matter. After all, they were just a few ordinary people and could not cause any trouble.
After all, Secretary Liu is the commander's secretary general and is deeply trusted by the commander. When the commander is not in public, he acts as the commander's spokesperson. Therefore, his office is not far from the commander's residence. After walking a few steps out of Secretary Liu's office, they arrived at a heavily guarded gate. In addition to a team of fully armed soldiers, there were also two men in suits wearing sunglasses guarding the door. Li Mu discovered at a glance that these two were also super-powered people, and they were also at the second level.
"These are the commander-in-chief's guests." Secretary Liu said to the two men in suits.
The two men were obviously notified as well. They just glanced at Li Mu and the others indifferently. Seeing that they posed no threat to the commander, they signaled the soldiers to open the gate.
"Boom~" The door made of titanium alloy and more than 30 centimeters thick was pushed open, and a long and narrow passage appeared in front of several people.
"It's really a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This commander is too afraid of losing his life." Li Mu complained in his heart.
Led by Secretary Liu, Li Mu and three others entered the passage, and the door behind them closed immediately.
Xu Ling and the other two were shocked. This place just gave them a bad feeling. If the enemy wanted to harm them here, they would be like fish on the chopping board. Even if they were trapped, they would be trapped to death. It was not that they did not believe in Li Mu's strength, but the enemy was too strong. In such a big base, they heard that there were more than 30 super-powered people!
But now is not the time to think about these things. Since they are here, they should make the best of it. The only thing they can do is to follow Li Mu closely. The only thing they can be thankful for is that the other party has something to ask of Li Mu.
After passing through a long passage, they opened a heavy titanium alloy door, and suddenly the view was clear. Behind the door, the height of the dome was as high as more than 20 meters, and lush vegetation could be seen everywhere. There was even the sound of running water. The temperature in the air reached a comfortable 20 degrees Celsius. It was like a paradise on earth! Xu Ling and the other two were secretly amazed. You know, it was minus 80 degrees Celsius outside. How much resources would it take to maintain the vitality of all this!
Led by Secretary Liu, they walked along a winding path and arrived at a small garden with green tiles. An energetic old man was watering the flowers and plants in the garden. Upon seeing them coming, he put down the watering can and said to Secretary Liu with a smile, "Haha, Xiao Liu is here, hurry up and bring the guests in."
"Commander, you look great today!" Secretary Liu said with a smile as he walked into the garden.
"Haha, I'm so old. I don't know if my body can survive to see the day when human civilization is revived?" said the old man.
"Of course we will, Commander. Our Spark Base cannot do without you." Secretary Liu said seriously.
The old man waved his hand and did not continue the conversation on this topic. He turned to look at Li Mu and the others and said, "Hello, my friends! My name is Wang Ping, the founder of the Spark Base. Welcome to join the Spark Base."
"Oh? In other words, you agreed to the conditions I just mentioned?" Li Mu asked calmly. The old man in front of him was indeed a super-powered person, and the energy fluctuations on his body were much stronger than those second-level ones Li Mu had seen before. Li Mu didn't know how the strengths of these super-powered people were divided, but judging from the difference in energy fluctuations, Wang Ping should be considered a third-level person.
"Haha, why not? I believe that you are just trying your best to contribute to the revival of our human civilization. As long as you have the ability, let alone the second-in-command of the base, I will give the position of commander to you." Wang Ping laughed heartily.
"You describe yourself as so selfless, yet you enjoy such luxurious treatment. Do you know how many people the resources here can feed?" Xu Ling said with disdain.
Facing Xu Ling's soul-searching question, Wang Ping was not panicked at all. He still had a smile on his face and said to Li Mu and the others, "What can you think of when you look at these tens of thousands of square meters of vegetation? Do you feel like you have returned to a time before the snowstorm? I heard that you came here from other places. I believe that you have seen much more along the way than an old man like me. During the 115 days since the snowstorm, have you seen any plants?"
Xu Ling sneered and said, "No, are you showing off to us?"
Wang Ping smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Faced with this sudden extreme temperature, humans can still find shelter to resist the cold, but what about these plants in nature? Basically all the animals and plants in the outside world became extinct overnight."
"Do you know where this underground base was before the snowstorm? This is the Doomsday Seed Vault built by my Great Xia. It was originally a shelter for these plants, but we stole their living space! Haha, originally this first area was planted with these plants. For the survival of mankind, we had to reluctantly eradicate them. In the end, only this small corner of vegetation was left, and only those cold seeds were sealed in the warehouse. Do you still think it is a waste of resources to keep these plants?"
