Chapter 338 Liu Ning Reunited in Northeast China
Soon, Li Zhen found the armored vehicles and tanks he had been longing for in a slightly dilapidated warehouse located right next to the riverbank. However, these steel behemoths were not brand new, but rather retired stockpiles from the Maoist army, bearing the marks of time and past battlefields.
He gently pushed open the door of an armored vehicle, and with a distinctive metallic creak, the interior slowly unfolded before him. The interior was somewhat cluttered, as if time had frozen here, leaving behind the hurried and tense atmosphere of its past users. Scattered bullet casings and empty ammunition boxes silently testified to the raging flames of war. In another spot, Li Zhen's gaze inadvertently caught a glimpse of dark red—a trace of dried blood, lying quietly on the cold ground of the armored vehicle, like a forgotten piece of history, silently awaiting discovery.
Tovalev gently covered his mouth and nose with a slightly worn towel, his brow furrowed, his gaze piercing through the thin fabric as he surveyed the chaotic scene inside the vehicle. Undisguised disgust flowed in his eyes, as if the sight before him had touched upon the deepest, most unpleasant corner of his heart. In that moment, he seemed to forget that he too had risen from the lowest ranks of the army, from an ordinary soldier. If not for his officer uncle's subtle maneuvering and promotion, perhaps he would still be mired in the quagmire of the battlefield, surrounded by smoke and gunfire, instead of sitting here, scrutinizing his surroundings with such a critical eye.
In this fiercely contested battlefield between Russia and Russia II, Russia's internal military supply lines are under unprecedented pressure. Certain key resources are becoming increasingly scarce, especially aircraft—those steel eagles soaring through the skies—which have now become a luxury. However, fate seems not to have completely abandoned Russia. Tovalev, the legendary figure who always manages to find a way out of dire situations, miraculously managed to procure several assault boats. Although these boats originated from the dusty years of the Cold War and may be somewhat outdated in the technological tide of modern warfare, considered relics of the past on the battlefield, Li Zhen accepted them without hesitation.
For Li Zhen, the battle at hand didn't demand the destructive power of cutting-edge weaponry; what he desired was a reliable force capable of navigating the waves and maneuvering flexibly through complex waters. These assault boats, though weathered on the outside, possessed an indomitable spirit. As long as their fuel tanks were full, they could forge ahead, carrying out crucial missions. On the chessboard of war, every piece has its unique value, and Li Zhen knew that the key to victory lay in making the best use of every resource at his disposal.
Li Zhen smiled and said to Tovalev, "Admittedly, these items show some signs of age, but they are still useful. As for the gold, I have had it secretly placed in the trunk of your car. You can check it yourself later."
Upon hearing this, Tovalev's face instantly blossomed into a radiant smile, like a flower blooming in spring. "Hahaha... My friend Li Zhen, I have always had complete faith in your reputation."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the slightly narrow patrol boat lying to the side, "Look at this big guy, it's quite large. Should I have my men help you move it out?"
Li Zhen: "No need, I have my own ways. You don't need to worry about these things. If there's nothing else, I'll return to China this afternoon."
Tovalev said with some regret, "I was hoping to celebrate with you. Well, next time you come, we must have a good drink together."
After Tovalev left, Li Zhen, seeing that no one was around, used his divine sense to collect these enormous creatures one by one into his mysterious space. He himself didn't know how big this space was; in short, he could collect anything he saw that wasn't alive. As Li Zhen's proficiency in using the space increased, he could now operate without directly touching the items he needed to collect, although the distance couldn't be too far.
Li Zhen didn't head straight back to Shandong Province. Instead, he bought a ticket, his destination being the distant Northeast Province. He planned to contact Liu Ning again to obtain some more grain from her. After all, his personal food reserves were nearly depleted. Although Fang Zhen was also making every effort to stockpile, the Northeast, as a crucial grain-producing region, offered the best option for his large-scale purchase due to its abundant production and favorable prices.
As Li Zhen sat in the airplane cabin, two young Chinese men dressed in casual clothes sat not far behind him. The two men kept glancing at Li Zhen and looking around at the others who approached him.
The two-hour flight finally landed at an airport in Northeast China. When Li Zhen walked into the arrival hall, he saw Liu Ning, who was dressed in a beautiful outfit.
"Brother Li, over here!"
Seeing Li Zhen come out, Liu Ning jumped up and down with joy, while her boyfriend stood beside her, smiling at Li Zhen.
After Liu Ning and Li Zhen completed several large-scale grain transactions together, her previously unknown online store quietly rose to fame, like a flower blooming unexpectedly in spring, gradually attracting everyone's attention. Time flies, and now Liu Ning is one of the leading grain traders in the vast black soil of Northeast China, her name resounding in the industry and attracting considerable attention.
To more effectively gather the abundant resources of Northeast China's four fields, Liu Ning and his newlywed partner, sharing a common dream and vision, resolutely founded their own company. They deeply understood the principle of "many a little makes a mickle," personally venturing into the fields to meticulously collect precious grains scattered among the people. Every grain of rice, every grain of millet, carried their unwavering pursuit of quality and their profound affection for the farmers.
Under the company's management, these grains are no longer scattered and disorganized, but rather, through their meticulous classification and selection, they are given new value and life based on their quality. They either flow to high-end dining tables or become fertilizer to nourish the earth; every destination embodies the wisdom and hard work of Liu Ning and his wife, as well as their deep love for this land.
Liu Ning's boyfriend gently took the suitcase from Li Zhen's hand, a smile playing on his lips. He said to Li Zhen in a humorous tone, "Brother Li, you have no idea. As soon as Ningning heard that you were coming, she was like she had been struck by lightning. She's been in a state of excitement all day long. If I didn't know your character so well, I would have been really jealous."
Upon hearing her boyfriend tease her like that, Liu Ning's straightforward nature immediately came to the fore. She waved her hand dismissively and said, "Oh, don't listen to his nonsense. Brother Li, you're a role model in my heart! Come on, let's stop chatting and go eat. I've specially prepared a table of authentic Northeastern dishes for you at the Xuexiang Hotel. Let's eat and chat, and catch up."
The three of them got into the car parked at the door, chatting and laughing. As the car started, it quickly disappeared into the night.
At the entrance of the departure hall, the two young men took out their phones and made a call to report: "The person has arrived in Northeast Province. He was just picked up by people from a grain company in Northeast Province. Yes, I will send someone to investigate right away."
