Facts have proved that his decision was very correct. For Joseph, who is used to living a comfortable life, as long as he can live, he doesn't care how much profit he sells. After hearing Lin Cheng's words, he immediately nodded and smiled.
Said: "Although I don't know exactly whether there is what you want here, I can help you ask. Just wait here for a while and I will be back soon."
As he said that, he nodded towards Lin Cheng and was about to go out to find someone for information.
But how could Lin Cheng let him leave alone? Before Joseph could reach the door, Lin Cheng followed him, put his palm on his shoulder and said, "I'll go with you."
Joseph was shocked when Lin Cheng suddenly pressed his shoulder. He thought that the other party had regretted his actions and wanted to kill him. However, after hearing what he said next, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly: "No problem, no problem, let's go together."
In this way, the two people left the command room with their own thoughts but as if they had a tacit understanding. They went down to the first floor unimpeded. After reaching the first floor, Joseph subconsciously scanned around, only to find that there was only the two of them in the entire street.
There was no one outside.
The cold wind was raging on the snowy night, but Joseph felt that his heart was even colder than the temperature at this time. Just less than an hour ago, he was the supreme commander of the ability user army, a person who was inferior to ten thousand people.
, but an hour later, his former "right-hand assistants" were uprooted by an insignificant-looking young man, turning him into a mere commander in an instant, which was so miserable.
Ordinary residents of the inner city had been ordered to stay at home and strictly prohibited from going out when the chaos first broke out. At first, Joseph did not want them to hinder the actions of the ability user troops when he gave this order, but now it seems that it was a mistake.
They were spared their lives, although even if these people wandered outside to Lin City, it was unlikely that they would kill these ordinary people.
Along the streets piled with snow, Joseph and Lin Cheng walked side by side. The atmosphere in the inner city looked a bit strange at this time. There was a suffocating feeling in the air. The residents in the buildings on both sides of the street seemed to feel the atmosphere.
Abnormally, most of them silently turned off the lights, making the inner city look more like an uninhabited dark ghost.
Or feeling that the atmosphere around him was getting more and more depressing, Joseph hesitated and took the initiative to speak to Lin Cheng: "The place we are going to now is the Sukhalin Municipal Government. Most of the high-level officials live near the municipal government. For example, we are staying
I will be looking for Lermontov, the former Minister of Natural Resources.”
Hearing Joseph's words, Lin Cheng nodded and asked as he continued to walk forward: "Former Minister of Natural Resources? What does he do now?"
Sighing, Joseph replied: "Not long after the end of the world came, he was transferred to the department in charge of material mobilization. After all, from the moment the end of the world came, most of the so-called natural resources lost their original value and strategic position.
Compared with natural resources, survival supplies that can keep people alive have become the top priority. The original minister of the Ministry of Natural Resources is very capable, and everyone can rest assured that he is responsible for managing the newly established supplies headquarters."
At this point, Joseph suddenly looked stunned, and Lin Cheng smiled immediately after seeing his expression, waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I have no interest in your so-called material headquarters, as long as the minister cooperates honestly
, I promise not to ask a single question about supplies."
"cough……"
Seeing Lin Cheng see through his own thoughts at a glance, Joseph looked a little embarrassed, but Lin Cheng's guarantee finally made him feel relieved. Although he didn't know why this young man was not interested in higher-value survival materials but was interested in those
He valued useless natural resources so much, but he had no intention of asking.
The general headquarters is not far from the Sukhalin City Hall. It took less than five minutes for the two of them to arrive at the bottom of a residential building located to the east of the city hall. Pointing to the glass door of the lobby on the first floor, Joseph asked Lin Cheng
Said: "Minister Lermontov lives here. He may have gone to bed at this time, but I don't think he would mind getting up to help us with some small favors."
After saying that, he stepped forward, pushed open the glass door, and led Lin Cheng down the stairs to the fifth floor.
This residential building looks new from the outside, but it can be seen from the interior decoration and facilities that this residential building was renovated from an old building. The nine-story building does not even have an elevator. Fortunately, the stairwell
It looks pretty clean and tidy.
After going up the stairwell to the fifth floor, Joseph walked towards the end of the corridor on the left. When he reached the end, he coughed lightly and knocked twice on the door in front of him.
"Dong dong dong——"
"Dong dong dong——"
After knocking several times, Joseph raised his hand and put his ear close to the door to hear what was going on inside. Lin Cheng originally wanted to just break in and finish the job, but suddenly he heard a rush of footsteps coming from inside the house.
"who?"
The footsteps stopped when they reached the door, and then they heard a slightly older voice coming from behind the door. Lin Cheng could tell from the other person's tone that he was very nervous at this time, and it didn't look like he had just woken up.
Fortunately, Joseph was very good at observing people's emotions. Seeing Lin Cheng's unkind expression, he quickly shouted to the people in the room: "It's me, Joseph! Open the door quickly, I have something very important to see you!"
"Joseph?"
When Joseph announced his door, the people inside immediately relaxed a lot, and then heard a "squeak" sound as the door was opened from the inside, and an old man with gray hair in a nightgown appeared in front of them.
"What happened to come to me so late?"
After opening the door, the old man frowned and asked Joseph, but soon he found Lin Cheng standing behind Joseph. His expression suddenly changed, and he asked nervously: "Who is he?!"
Looking at the nervous old man, Lin Cheng smiled, stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, is this Minister Lermontov?"
"you--"
Seeing that Lin Cheng revealed his identity as soon as he came up, Lermontov became even more nervous and reached out to close the door. However, Joseph had quick eyesight and quick hands. After noticing the other party's move, he immediately grabbed the door handle with a "snap", feeling a little helpless.
He said to the other party: "I think you should already know what happened outside just now. To save time, I'll tell you directly. He is the person who caused the chaos tonight!"
"What?!"
Hearing Joseph say that the seemingly harmless young man in front of him turned out to be the real culprit that caused tonight's chaos, Lermontov was shocked. After reacting, he subconsciously wanted to escape into the house, but he still couldn't.
Before he could turn around, he was grabbed by Joseph again.
