Chapter 1845 Minister Lermontov

Facts have proved that his decision is very correct. As Joseph, who is used to living a life of ease, he doesn't care how much profit he betrayed as long as he lives. He nodded immediately after hearing Lin Cheng's words and pulled out a smile. Said: "Although I am not very sure if there is anything you want here, I can help you ask. You can wait here for a while and I will be back soon."

As he said, he nodded to Lincheng, ready to go out to find someone to inquire about the news.

But how could Lin Cheng let him go by himself, before Joseph walked to the door, Lin Cheng followed him, put his palm on his shoulder and said, "I will walk with you."

Suddenly being held down by Lin Cheng's shoulders, Joseph was shocked, thinking that the other party wanted to kill him, but he was relieved when he heard the following words, and quickly nodded and said: "No problem, no problem, let's go together."

In this way, the two people left the command room with their own thoughts but seemed to have a tacit understanding, and went down to the first floor unobstructed. After reaching the first floor, Joseph subconsciously swept around, but found that the whole street was except for the two of them. There was no one outside.

On a snowy night, the cold wind was raging, but Joseph felt that his heart was colder than the temperature at this time. Just less than an hour ago, he was the commander-in-chief of the superior force, a presence of more than 10,000 people. , But an hour later, his former "right helpers" were uprooted by a seemingly inconspicuous young man, making him instantly reduced to a polished commander, how miserable it was.

Ordinary residents in the inner city were ordered to stay at home when the chaos happened before and not to go out. At first, Joseph gave this order to prevent them from obstructing the actions of the capable forces, but now it seems that they are being saved. They were killed, although even if these people wandered around in Lincheng, it was unlikely that they would kill these ordinary people.

Along the snow-filled streets, Joseph walked side by side with Lin Cheng. At this time, the inner city atmosphere looked a bit strange. There was a suffocating feeling in the air. The residents in the buildings on both sides of the street seemed to feel the atmosphere. Abnormal, most of them turned off the lights silently, making the inner city at this time look more like an uninhabited gloomy ghost.

Or feeling that the surrounding atmosphere is becoming more and more depressing, Joseph hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to say to Lin Cheng: "The place we are going now is the Sukharin city government. Most of the high-level people live near the city government. I will find Lermontov, the former Minister of Natural Resources."

Hearing Joseph's words, Lin Cheng nodded, and asked while continuing to move forward: "Former Minister of Natural Resources? What does he do now?"

With a sigh, Joseph replied: "Not long after the end of the world, he was transferred to the department in charge of material mobilization. After all, from the moment of the end of the world, most of the so-called natural resources have lost their original value and strategic position. Compared with those natural resources, survival materials that can support people have become the top priority. The original Minister of Natural Resources is very capable, and everyone can rest assured that he is responsible for managing the newly established materials headquarters."

At this point, Joseph's expression was taken aback, 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 honestly cooperates. , I promise not to ask any questions about supplies."

"cough……"

Seeing Lin Cheng see through his thoughts at a glance, Joseph looked a little embarrassed, but Lin Cheng’s guarantee finally relieved him. Although I don’t know why this young man is not interested in higher-value survival supplies, he is not interested in them. Useless natural resources are so valued, but he has no idea of ​​asking.

The general headquarters is not far from the Sukharin city government. It took less than five minutes for the two of them to reach the bottom of a residential building on the east side of the city government. They pointed to the glass door in the lobby on the first floor, and Joseph asked Lincheng. Said: "Minister Lermontov lives here, he may be asleep at this time, but I don't think he would mind getting up to do us a little favor."

After that, he was seen walking forward and pushing open the glass door, leading Lin Cheng along the stairs to the fifth floor.

This residential building looks very new from the outside, but it can be seen from the interior decoration and facilities. This residential building was renovated from an old building. The nine-storey floor does not even have an elevator, but fortunately, it is in the stairwell. It looks clean and tidy.

After walking up the stairwell to the fifth floor, Joseph walked towards the end of the corridor on the left. When he reached the end, he gave a light cough and knocked twice at the door in front of him.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Boom boom boom——"

After several knocks, Joseph raised his hand and put his ear to the door of the room to hear the movement inside. Lin Cheng originally wanted to break the door and finish the work earlier, but suddenly heard a rush of footsteps from the room.

"Who?"

The footsteps stopped when he reached the door, and then he heard a slightly old voice coming from the back of the door. From the other's tone, Lin Cheng heard that he was very nervous at this time, completely unlike the way he had just woke up.

Fortunately, Joseph was very good at observing words. Seeing that Lin Cheng looked bad, he hurriedly shouted to the people in the house: "It's me, Joseph! Open the door, I have something important to look for you!"

"Joseph?"

Hearing Joseph's self-report of the door, the people inside suddenly relaxed a lot, and then heard a "squeak" the door was opened from the inside, and an old man with gray hair in a nightgown appeared in front of them.

"What happened, come to see me so late?"

After opening the door, the old man frowned and asked Joseph, but soon he found Lin Cheng standing behind Joseph's side. His expression changed suddenly and he asked nervously, "Who is he?!"

Looking at the nervous old man, Lin Cheng smiled and stepped forward and asked: "Excuse me, is this Minister Lermontov?"

"you--"

Seeing that Lin Cheng broke his identity as soon as he came up, Lermontov suddenly became more nervous, reaching out to close the door, but Joseph's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he immediately "slapped" the doorknob when he noticed the other party's actions, a little helpless. He said to the other party, "I think you already know what happened outside just now. To save time, I'll tell you directly. He is the one who caused the chaos tonight!"

"what?!"

Hearing Joseph said that the seemingly harmless young man in front of him was the real culprit who caused the chaos tonight. Lermontov was stunned. After reacting, he subconsciously wanted to escape into the house. Before he turned around, he was caught by Joseph again.
