"Ah~" Sun Dabiao let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Chen Yu grabbed Sun Dabiao and pulled him into a nearby room.

Chen Yu ignored the rest of the people who were still struggling on the ground, letting them wail in the snow.

However, in this harsh low-temperature environment, their bodies quickly could not withstand it, and they became completely inactive in no time.

"Stop whining and making a sound. If you make another fuss, I'll send you to reunite with your brothers right now," Chen Yu said to Sun Dabiao, his voice devoid of any emotion.

Upon hearing Chen Yu's icy tone, Sun Dabiao, who had been groaning in pain just a moment ago, instantly fell silent. He stared wide-eyed at Chen Yu in fear, as if he saw the shadow of death in the other man's eyes.

He knew his life was hanging by a thread, and any carelessness could lead to his death.

At this moment, Sun Dabiao calmed down, a complex look flashing in his eyes, a mixture of fear and resentment.

He didn't expect that Chen Yu's gun could still fire normally in this environment of minus 70 degrees Celsius, and that Chen Yu really dared to shoot him.

He used to be just a petty hoodlum on the streets, despised by everyone, and could die in the street at any time. He had nothing to lose, so it didn't matter.

But things are different now. He has been the "local tyrant" in this town for nearly half a month. He is intoxicated by the feeling of having great power and controlling the lives of everyone, and he has become extremely grateful for his life.

At this moment, facing Chen Yu's cold interrogation, how could Sun Dabiao dare to be negligent?

He quickly said, "Brother, let's talk things out. Don't be impulsive."

With a loud thud, Sun Dabiao was kicked to the ground by Chen Yu.

"Who the hell is your 'brother'?" Chen Yu said with a look of disgust.

"Yes, yes, I misspoke. Please forgive me, you are a magnanimous person." Sun Dabiao quickly corrected himself, enduring the pain as he got up from the ground and knelt down in front of Chen Yu, his posture humble and respectful.

"Tell me, what's the background of this 'Yu Li'?" Chen Yu then asked Sun Dabiao.

Yu Li was the name on the "appointment letter" that Sun Dabiao had just shown him, although it stated his position as the director of the Shahe District Urban Management Bureau.

But Chen Yu didn't think the matter was that simple. How could a mere city management bureau chief have such great power?

Even in peacetime, they have no law enforcement power. The power they hold is merely authorized by other departments. They do thankless work, and when something goes wrong, they are just temporary workers, acting as the black gloves of relevant departments. They are among the lowest-level entities in various institutions and departments.

Could it be that in this extremely cold apocalyptic world, the Urban Management Bureau can actually turn the world upside down? Issuing "appointment letters" to other forces within its jurisdiction? Isn't that a joke?

Seeing that Chen Yu had become interested in the identity of "Yu Li," Sun Dabiao secretly rejoiced that he might still have a glimmer of hope.

He steadied himself and tried to make his voice sound clear and sincere: "Brother, you're not from Baqing, are you?"

Chen Yu glanced at Sun Dabiao indifferently, but said nothing.

Although he did not receive a clear reply from Chen Yu, Sun Dabiao already had the answer in his heart.

He revealed an expression of certainty and continued, "Although Director Yu's position is merely that of a minor district urban management bureau director, the identity behind him is terrifyingly powerful."

“He once said something I’m sure you’ve all heard it.” Sun Dabiao paused here, carefully observing Chen Yu and Lin Lele.

"Bang!" Chen Yu kicked him again.

"You think you're so great? I asked you to answer my question, not to play riddles with me," Chen Yu said coldly.

"I...I know I was wrong, I'll never do it again." Sun Dabiao held his head and quickly admitted his mistake and begged for forgiveness.

"Go on," Chen Yu said calmly.

“Director Yu’s father is Yu Gang, the director of the police station in Baqing City,” Sun Dabiao continued.

"My dad is Yu Gang?" Lin Lele blurted out.

“Exactly, now you know how much power Director Yu Li has behind him, right?” Seeing that Lin Lele had heard about this, Sun Dabiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"After the extreme cold disaster struck, Director Yu Gang remained calm and quickly integrated various departments in Baqing with strong measures. With the support of the mayor and other high-level officials, the Baqing Cold Relief Command was established, with Director Yu Gang serving as the commander-in-chief. He proposed the strategy of 'to fight the cold, first restore order, and then bring peace to the people and stability to the country.' However, the conditions were too harsh and travel was very inconvenient. Therefore, the commander-in-chief exercised the power of the people to govern the people."

At this point, Sun Dabiao glanced cautiously at Chen Yu and continued, "Although my position as the 'Captain of the Datong Town Joint Defense Brigade' was appointed by the Shahe District Urban Management Bureau, I am actually under the jurisdiction of the 'Baqing Cold Relief and Disaster Relief Headquarters'."

Hearing what Sun Dabiao said, Chen Yu frowned slightly.

Baqing City has many scientific research resources, and he doesn't want to give them up.

However, according to Sun Dabiao, the entire Baqing is now under Yu Li's control, and if he were to enter rashly, it could very likely cause a conflict.

Seeing Chen Yu's solemn expression, Sun Dabiao assumed that what he had just said had made Chen Yu realize the seriousness of the situation.

So he regained his confidence and said to Chen Yu and Lin Lele, "Gentlemen, we have no grudges against each other. If you release me, I, Sun Dabiao, swear here that I will never report this matter to my superiors."

"Heh, are you threatening me?" Chen Yu sneered.

Upon hearing this, Sun Dabiao quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I just wanted to remind you that I have a worthless life, and you don't need to cause trouble for yourself because of my worthless life."

"Let me ask you another question," Chen Yu said in a deep voice, "How do you and Yu Li communicate?"

“This…” Sun Dabiao hesitated for a moment, but after seeing Chen Yu’s sharp eyes, he quickly replied, “Every three days, two commissioners will come here in a horse-drawn sled to collect the ‘cold relief fund’.”

"Then what?"

"That's it, they left after collecting the supplies," Sun Dabiao said.

"How much do you know about them?" Chen Yu continued to ask.

Sun Dabiao instinctively shook his head, but upon seeing Chen Yu's cold expression, he immediately realized his current predicament and quickly said, "I still have information, I know a lot of information, I...I..."

He struggled for a long time but couldn't utter a single word.

So he could only bite the bullet and say, "Brother, I'm willing to be your underling and hand over all the supplies to you. Not only that, I know exactly which woman in town is the prettiest, I can..."

"Bang!" After a muffled gunshot, Sun Dabiao fell to the ground, his forehead pierced by a bullet.
