Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 59 A Thank-You Gift to My Hometown
In a tense atmosphere, the leading man took the satellite phone, quickly dialed the number provided by Li Mu, and then walked quickly into the building.

Just after a cigarette's time, the big man followed out with a thin middle-aged man in his forties. He was calm and exuded a sense of majesty.

"Everyone, lay down your weapons." The thin middle-aged man gave orders in an unquestionable tone.

The soldiers around him put down their guns obediently.

Then, he walked towards Li Mu, stretched out his right hand and smiled, "Mr. Li, please come in. I have verified your identity with Secretary Zheng, and I have sent someone to notify your and your friend's family."

Seeing this, Li Mu also walked forward, shook the middle-aged man's outstretched hand, and took back his satellite phone.

Afterwards, everyone returned to the small building. Li Mu looked around and asked curiously, "What is your name?"

"My name is Zhang Zhilong, and I'm the current director of the Sishui shelter." The middle-aged man replied with a smile.

"Director Zhang, I've long heard of your name." Li Mu bowed politely.

"Mr. Li, you are too polite. And my friend, please feel free to sit down. Your family's pick-up is also being arranged and will be here soon." Zhang Zhilong enthusiastically pulled Li Mu and Yu Shuaikang to sit on the sofa, and signaled to the soldiers next to them to pour them hot tea.

The three of them sat around the tea table, sipping tea and chatting.

Most of the topics revolve around Li Mu's experience, such as how he traveled here from Lin'an, and how they survived in this wasteland after the end of the Ice Age.

These questions are undoubtedly exploring Li Mu's strength and influence.

Of course, Li Mu couldn't tell the truth. When it came to the key points, he just skipped over them with vague answers.

The cup of tea was not even half finished when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps from upstairs.

Upon hearing the voice, Li Mu and Yu Shuaikang immediately put down their teacups and stood up suddenly.

The footsteps gradually got closer, and finally a group of people appeared in front of them. At the front of the team was a woman, who was Li Mu's mother!
"Dad, Mom, I'm here to pick you up!"

Li Mu rushed forward and hugged his mother's slightly thin body tightly, with a hint of guilt and excitement in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, it's okay."

Li Mu's mother was named "Shao Xueqin". She patted Li Mu on the back and looked him up and down.

"You've gotten a lot stronger. Have you been eating well recently?"

"I heard that you are an official now. Do you have a girlfriend?"

Li Mu was originally in a heavy mood, but when he saw his mother mentioned his girlfriend after just a few words, his mood immediately changed from heavy to embarrassed.

Scratching his head awkwardly, Li Mu looked at his father behind him - "Li Rongjiang". At this moment, he just looked at Li Mu with a look of satisfaction and did not say anything.

The situation on Yu Shuaikang's side was similar. A group of people surrounded him and kept asking about his well-being.

"Mom and Dad, I still have to go and say a few words to Yao Chengcheng's parents."

Li Mu patted his mother's hand, then went around to the back and found a middle-aged couple he had met several times before, and said,

"Uncle and aunt, Chengcheng couldn't come back because of something, but he specifically asked us to bring you and some relatives back."

The middle-aged couple looked at each other and said, "That's good, that's good."

"Director Zhang, thank you for taking care of our family. To express my gratitude, I have prepared some supplies to send to you and the Surabaya Shelter."

After a lively greeting, Li Mu and Yu Shuaikang told all their relatives to go back to their rooms and pack up their things.

Then he turned around and found Zhang Zhilong, with a sincere smile on his face. He was going to leave something behind, hoping to express his gratitude. Zhang Zhilong was overjoyed when he heard this. He was waiting for this moment. Then he looked at Li Mu, who had nothing on him, and thought to himself, "It doesn't look like he has anything on him. Could it be in the sedan chair outside?"

Although he was confused, he said calmly, "You're welcome. Protecting the people is my job. Besides, we are from the same hometown."

Li Mu smiled and disagreed. He was not so naive. Apart from parents, no one would be nice to you for no reason.

The better I treat you, the more I want to get something from you.

What's more, he had just learned from his parents that the shelter had taken great care of them in the past few days.

Not only did they live in the best room, there was always a brazier for warmth, and they also had four dishes and one soup, including both meat and vegetarian meals.

In this age of material scarcity, even Zhang Zhilong himself may not eat as well as his parents, so how could he not ask for anything?
Zhang Zhilong said this simply to make Li Mu more grateful and give out more things.

Although he understood the twists and turns involved, Li Mu did not feel disgusted. It was his principle to repay a favor.

"Director Zhang, why don't you take a look at what I took out first."

After Li Mu finished speaking, without waiting for Zhang Zhilong to respond, he put his hand in his pocket, grabbed something, and then waved it.

Several fruit trees suddenly appeared out of nowhere, including apple, mango and orange trees.

There are two of each kind of fruit tree, and they are all loaded with fruits.

Zhang Zhilong stared at the scene in front of him in amazement, and exclaimed, "This...this..."

He finally understood why the city asked him to find Li Mu's parents and others, and protect them and treat them well.

In this era of severe material shortage, this person actually has the ability to create things out of thin air, which is certainly worthy of everyone's attention.

"Shuaikang, please help me pick all these fruits."

Li Mu turned around and shouted at Ah Sao, but of course he couldn't call her by her nickname in front of her parents.

Hearing the sound, Yu Shuaikang walked lightly to several fruit trees. His figure was looming among the fruit trees. In just a dozen breaths, he picked all the fruits on the trees.

But this is not the end. Li Mu continuously injected source energy, making the tree full of heavy fruits again, and Yu Shuaikang continued his picking work.

This went on for three cycles, and finally hundreds of kilograms of fresh fruits were piled on the ground, forming a fruit pile as big as a small mountain.

“I don’t know where the granary of the Surabaya shelter is. The space here is a bit small.”

Li Mu cut off the energy supply to the fruit trees, turned around and asked Zhang Zhilong.

"Mr. Li, please follow me!"

At this moment, Zhang Zhilong was no longer as calm as before, but instead had a fanatical look on his face. He stepped forward and walked in front, leading Li Mu to a warehouse outside the small building.

In front of the warehouse door, several soldiers armed with live ammunition stood solemnly. When they saw Zhang Zhilong, they saluted first, then talked to him for a few words, and then opened the door.

Li Mu stepped into the warehouse and what caught his eye were the gray bags that were full and bulging. He secretly guessed that these bags must be filled with wheat.

"It seems that the food reserves in the shelter are sufficient, but warm materials and fresh vegetables have become scarce."

ps: I don’t know about the situation in other places, but in my hometown, any private grain station can have hundreds of thousands of kilograms of wheat.
