This time, upon entering Anfei City, Chen Yu did not maintain his usual cautious and low-key approach. Instead, he made a grand entrance, leading a large convoy of "militia" vehicles straight to the city.

Such a move might seem risky to outsiders, but Chen Yu had his own reasons.

He knew that in the end times, sometimes being high-profile could be a deterrent, making potential threats back down.

Furthermore, his purpose for this trip was clear: to let everyone in Anfei City know that the "Anti-Cold Disaster Relief Militia Corps" was a legitimate and righteous force, which also indirectly demonstrated the "Tianyu Base's" confidence in its own strength.

After all, his main target this time was the "artificial sun device" and its scientists. These highly educated intellectuals were proud and could not stand any sneaky behavior. Chen Yu's open and aboveboard approach would actually win their favor.

Moreover, their scientific research also needs a stable environment to support it. If the "Tianyu Base" is a base that is not secure for long, why would anyone follow you?

As the convoy drove through the snow-covered streets between city buildings, heads would occasionally peek out from upstairs windows, observing the unusual convoy with a mixture of curiosity and nervousness.

You could tell from their dull eyes that they had been having a very difficult time lately.

At this moment, Lin Lele was staring blankly out the car window at everything outside.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Meng comforted her, "Secretary Lin, don't worry, your relatives will definitely be alright."

She was also feeling very upset at the time, and she didn't know how her parents and sister in Kyoto were doing.

"What did you just say? Relatives? What relatives?" Lin Lele asked, coming back to her senses.

"Didn't you grow up in Anfei? Don't you have any relatives here?" Qiao Meng asked.

"Nonsense, of course not. I just grew up here because of my grandfather's job. My hometown isn't here," Lin Lele said irritably.

"Ah~? I'm sorry." Qiao Meng looked embarrassed. "But your relatives aren't having an easy time in this extreme cold disaster, are they? Aren't you worried about them?"

"I'm not that close to those relatives, why should I worry about them?" Lin Lele said nonchalantly. "Besides, they're all in the rural areas of Haidu, at least they won't starve to death right now."

"Oh." Qiao Meng felt even more disappointed upon hearing this. She was worried about her parents and younger sister. She had originally thought that Lin Lele would have the same concerns and that she could share this worry, but now it seemed that Lin Lele's situation was completely different from hers.

"Ahem!" Seeing that Qiao Meng was a little downcast, Chen Yu coughed lightly and comforted her, "Little Qiao, don't worry. Your family is in Kyoto. What kind of place is Kyoto? It's the heart of Great Xia! No matter where there's a shortage of supplies, Kyoto won't be short of them. Don't worry, your parents are both highly educated intellectuals, the country won't abandon them."

Hearing Chen Yu's words of comfort, Qiao Meng nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved.

"Hehe, I'll try to sort things out here as soon as possible, and then we'll go to Kyoto together and bring them all to our 'Tianyu Base'," Chen Yu added with a smile, his eyes revealing determination and resolve.

“Yes!” Qiao Meng nodded emphatically. “Thank you, Mr. Chen Yu.”

"Of course, of course," Chen Yu waved his hand. "We're a team, it's only right that we support each other."

Hearing this, Qiao Meng felt a warm current flow through her heart, and her eyes reddened slightly. She tried her best to control her emotions and smiled, "I'll go make you something to eat."

After saying that, she ran off to the kitchen.

Chen Yu was both amused and exasperated upon seeing this.

Kyoto was one of the cities he had already decided on. It was the heart of the Great Xia Dynasty, with the richest scientific research equipment and personnel. How could he possibly miss it?

"Lele, you haven't been back for so long, can you still find your way?" Chen Yu turned to look at Lin Lele, his face full of doubt.

"Nonsense, I used to be the little tyrant of Anhui. I know every place in Anhui, big and small, like the back of my hand, let alone my home. Do you think I'm Feng Xinran?" Lin Lele rolled her eyes and retorted mercilessly.

As she spoke, she picked up the walkie-talkie and remotely directed the driver ahead: "Turn right at the second intersection ahead."

After saying that, he turned to Chen Yu again and said, "Don't think that just because I haven't been in Anhui for the past few years, my grandfather still has several properties there. I collect all the rent from them, so I come back several times a year."

"Do I have to be there in person to collect rent?" Chen Yu asked, puzzled.

"Nonsense! How can I feel like a landlady if I don't show up in person?" Lin Lele said irritably.

Chen Yu chuckled awkwardly upon hearing this. Since Lin Lele returned to Anhui, she seemed to have grown increasingly bold. Was it the confidence given to her by the "Little Tyrant of Anhui"?

However, Chen Yu didn't care too much about it, as long as Lin Lele could find the "Daxia Science and Technology Institute Community".

As one of Daxia's top research institutions, the Anfei Branch of the Daxia Academy of Sciences is naturally generous in its recruitment of talent.

To solve the problem of employee accommodation, they spent a lot of money to build several family residential areas near the park and allocate them to employees.

"Daxia Science and Technology Institute Community" is one of them.

Lin Lele grew up in this community as a family member of an employee.

His grandfather, Lin Hong, was once the director of the "Anhui Branch of Daxia Science and Technology Institute" and the chief engineer of Daxia's "Artificial Sun" project. It can be seen that the employees who can live in this community must be elites in Daxia's scientific research field.

If he managed to convince the residents of this community, then his trip to Anhui could be considered a complete success.

"At the second intersection ahead, turn left!" Lin Lele shouted into the walkie-talkie again.

…………

Suddenly, the sled caravan braked sharply.

Chen Yu frowned, picked up the walkie-talkie, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Commander, there are people blocking the road ahead." Lei Tao's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Let's just send them away over this little thing. Remember to be polite," Chen Yu said calmly. According to Lin Lele, they were about to enter the territory of the "Anfei Branch of Daxia Science and Technology Institute" and it was not advisable to cause any trouble at this time.

"Wait." Lin Lele snatched the walkie-talkie. "Don't move, let me handle this."

After saying that, she looked at Chen Yu and said confidently, "Hehe, sir, have you forgotten? I used to be the little tyrant of 'Anfei'. You can leave this to me."

Chen Yu was speechless. He knew that Lin Lele was so enthusiastic simply because she was addicted to showing off. After all, she had returned home in glory, and it wouldn't be in her nature not to go out and show off.

However, given Lin Lele's irreplaceable role in the upcoming operation, Chen Yu could only satisfy her vanity in order not to dampen her enthusiasm. So, after confirming with "Lei Tao," he got off the bus with Lin Lele.
