Yang Yue's sudden change of attitude caught Chen Yu off guard.

However, he quickly realized, "I only kept you because I was soft-hearted, and you've taken advantage of my kindness."

This kind of atmosphere can't be tolerated, so he immediately frowned and his tone became stern and cold: "Yang Yue, are you trying to rebel? Do you know what situation you're in right now? Do you think I won't dare to kill you just because I'm soft-hearted?"

Yang Yue's eyes reddened upon hearing this. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard not to let her tears fall, and choked out, "Chen Yu, you're not a man. Last night you were calling me 'sweetie,' and today you just pulled up your pants and..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. He quickly interrupted Yang Yue, "Alright, alright, can't you talk about something else?"

Chen Yu sighed inwardly, regretting that he shouldn't have been so greedy last night and had drunk two extra glasses of 1982 Lei Bi, giving Yang Yue an opportunity to take advantage of him. Now, she had latched onto him, and he felt somewhat at a loss as to how to control her.

Yes, it's all because of those two 1982 Reibi glasses!

Of course, if it were someone else in this situation, they might really turn their backs on them and refuse to acknowledge the other person, but Chen Yu is not that kind of person. Therefore, he was really helpless when faced with Yang Yue's way of bringing up this matter.

"You have to take responsibility for me, otherwise, I'd rather die!" Yang Yue's voice was resolute, and her eyes shone with an undeniable light, as if at this moment, she had already disregarded life and death, only seeking an answer, a promise.

"Alright, alright, I'll take responsibility!" Chen Yu waved his hand helplessly and said, "Sit down and eat."

Yang Yue seemed somewhat reassured by Chen Yu's response and attitude, and she sat back down in her seat.

Seeing Chen Yu about to pick up the pair of chopsticks she had just slammed on the table, Yang Yue quickly stopped him: "Wait, these chopsticks are dirty, I'll go get you a new pair."

As she spoke, she hurriedly ran back to the kitchen with her bare little feet to get chopsticks for Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was both amused and exasperated by this, unsure of what Yang Yue was really thinking, but her actions also warmed his heart.

This was a feeling he had never experienced before.

Perhaps, being trapped at the bottom of this sinkhole for the rest of one's life wouldn't be so bad?

Chen Yu suddenly had this idea, but he quickly shook his head and banished this unrealistic thought from his mind.

While there may be a moment of peace and warmth beneath the sinkhole, it is by no means a long-term solution. If human civilization were to perish here, he would not be able to escape unscathed.

If he really wanted to survive, wouldn't living in his post-apocalyptic bunker, which cost him hundreds of billions, be much better than this?

Moreover, he hadn't known Yang Yue for very long, and she had always disliked him. There was no emotional foundation between them, and his feelings for Yang Yue were mostly just a sense of responsibility.

The lunch ended in this subtle atmosphere.

The two put their thick winter clothes back on and went outside.

Then, to Yang Yue's further astonishment, the entire shelter was taken into the other-dimensional space.

Yang Yue opened her mouth, wanting to ask Chen Yu how he did it, but in the end she didn't say it.

Chen Yu seemed to see the doubt in Yang Yue's heart. He sighed and said, "I will tell you about my other-dimensional space slowly when I have the chance. But you need to understand that although there are more things in my other-dimensional space than you can use, I am the only one in the world who has the way to open the other-dimensional space. You are a smart person, so you should understand what I mean, right?"

Yang Yue nodded, her face resolute, and said, "You are my man, and even without the other-dimensional space, I would never betray you!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Yang Yue, as if trying to discern her true intentions from her gaze, but in the end, all he saw was determination and sincerity.

"That would be for the best. I'll trust you for now," Chen Yu said slowly. "Let's go, hurry up and see if we can find another exit today."

As Chen Yu finished speaking, the two stepped back into the cave, searching for the next exit.

Before leaving, Chen Yu made a conspicuous mark at the bottom of the sinkhole, hoping that any searching teams above would find it.

The cramped cave was pitch black, and the cold environment made it difficult for Chen Yu and his companion, who were used to living in warm shelters, to adapt.

Having had their encounter last night, Yang Yue had no more reservations and clung tightly to Chen Yu's arm like a little girl.

This made it quite inconvenient for Chen Yu to move around in the cave, and he couldn't help but remind her, "Yueyue, could you loosen your grip a little? It's hard for either of us to walk like this."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yue blushed. Realizing that her dependence might be too strong, she quickly let go of his hand and whispered, "I'm sorry, it's just too dark, I'm a little scared."

Seeing this, Chen Yu had no choice but to take another flashlight from the other dimension and hand it to Yang Yue: "Here you go."

Yang Yue took the flashlight, momentarily stunned, thinking to herself, "Since he had an extra flashlight, why didn't he give it to me yesterday? If I had had a flashlight yesterday, I probably wouldn't have followed him so persistently, leading to what happened later. Was he playing hard to get yesterday? Did he actually have feelings for me all along?"

If Chen Yu knew Yang Yue's thoughts, he would definitely deny it immediately: "Big sister, you treated me like a mortal enemy yesterday, why would I give you a flashlight? It would only expose the secret of the other dimension, why bother? I did have feelings for you before, but mainly because you have some talent, and I wanted to recruit you into my 'Tianyu Base'."

However, Chen Yu had no idea what Yang Yue was thinking. He only felt that after giving Yang Yue the flashlight, she held him less tightly, which made walking much easier for him.

In this way, the two walked several more kilometers in the cave.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared ahead, accompanied by what seemed to be a cacophony of sounds.

It sounds like a human voice!

Chen Yu's expression immediately hardened. He quickly signaled Yang Yue to keep quiet, turned off the flashlight, and cautiously moved forward, keeping close to the rock wall.

Chen Yu and Yang Yue held their breath and slowly approached the faint light and sound.

Their movements were light and cautious, as if afraid of making any noise that might attract attention.

As the distance decreased, they could hear the voices more clearly—it was indeed people talking, and more than one person.

A thought struck Chen Yu: this could be a search team, or it could be other survivors.

He handed Yang Yue a pistol and gestured for her to stay where she was, while he quietly moved forward to investigate the situation.
