Apocalypse + Rebirth + Other Dimension Stockpiling + Base Building + No System + No Superpowers + No Zombies
On July 5, 2025, a beam of high-energy particles pierced the sun, instantly draini...
"Did you see that, sir? That turn I made just now was so cool!" Lin Lele exclaimed excitedly.
"Hehe, not bad," Chen Yu praised, noting that giving subordinates appropriate praise helps to boost their enthusiasm.
However, to be fair, Lin Lele's talent in piloting aircraft is undeniable. Whether it's fighter jets or attack helicopters, she can become quite proficient with just a little learning.
"Commander, I was wrong. Please forgive me!" Dai Dong said, tears streaming down his face.
Chen Yu ignored this.
The others remained silent. They knew that things had come to this point, and Chen Yu would absolutely not let them off easily.
However, since Chen Yu hasn't killed them yet, he must want to extract value from them. All they can do now is wait.
In less than two minutes, Lin Lele piloted the Apapa attack helicopter and landed on the helipad at the top of Shiban Mountain.
Mr. Wang and four others disembarked from the plane one by one and lined up in a row on the mountaintop.
"Kneel down," Chen Yu said calmly.
Looking at the two dark gun barrels in front of them, the men exchanged glances, and finally had no choice but to succumb to the pressure of reality and slowly kneel down.
Their faces were etched with humiliation and resentment, but even more so with a yearning for life and a fear of the unknown.
The biting wind on the mountaintop whipped against their bodies, making them shiver and curl up involuntarily.
Who would have thought that just a few months ago, they were all high-ranking nobles, wielding power and wielding influence?
It's truly lamentable that they've fallen to such a state.
"Director of Zhongyang City Government, District Head of Anping District, and renowned military commentator," Chen Yu said casually, glancing at Xu Long, Li Xiubai, and Dai Dong in turn.
Upon hearing this, the three lowered their heads even further.
Chen Yu sneered, then looked at the other Mr. Liu and Zhao Wenhong: "And you? Introduce yourselves."
"I... my name is Zhao Wenhong. Before the natural disaster, I was in charge of managing the Zhongyang City Trade Union." Zhao Wenhong's voice trembled slightly, clearly filled with fear and unease. He quickly glanced at Chen Yu, then quickly lowered his head, afraid that his gaze would attract more blame.
"Oh? Representative Zhao." Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. "I do seem to remember you. No wonder you looked familiar. But Representative Zhao, as a representative of the Zhongyang City Trade Union, it seems you're a perfect fit for the position of Labor Minister at my 'Tianyu Base'!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wenhong forced out a smile that looked more like a grimace in response.
"And you? I don't think I've ever seen you before?" Chen Yu looked at Mr. Liu again, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Mr. Liu took a deep breath and then said, "My surname is Liu."
"That's all?" Chen Yu frowned.
Mr. Liu sensed Chen Yu's scrutiny, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "My full name is Liu Qidong."
"Continue," Chen Yu said calmly.
"Chen Yu, in this world, for a businessman like you with no background, knowing too much is not a good thing," Liu Qidong said in a deep voice.
Chen Yu shook his head, then looked at Li Xiubai and the others: "Can any of you tell me, what is his background?"
Upon hearing this, the group lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.
"Heh~! Interesting." Chen Yu sneered.
"Bang!" He pulled the trigger, and the bullet instantly pierced Liu Qidong's thigh.
"Ah~" Liu Qidong screamed in agony.
"Now, I ask, you answer, is that clear?" Chen Yu said coldly.
"Ah~ Ah~" Liu Qidong was still screaming in agony.
"Bang!" Chen Yu fired another bullet, piercing Liu Qidong's other thigh as well.
"Is that clear?" Chen Yu shouted again.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qidong nodded quickly.
"What official position do you hold in the yamen?" Chen Yu asked.
“I…I do not hold any position in the government office!” Liu Qidong replied with a heavy heart.
"Bang!" Chen Yu fired another shot, hitting Liu Qidong in one of his arms.
"No official position? Why do they obey you so readily if you have no official position?" Chen Yu said coldly.
"I...I..." Liu Qidong hadn't finished speaking when he fainted on the ground.
“Commander, Mr. Liu didn’t lie to you, he really isn’t one of our system members!” Li Xiubo couldn’t help but say.
"Oh?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
He looked at the remaining three people.
Fearing being shot, the three nodded quickly.
Seeing this, Chen Yu felt a little embarrassed and said to Lin Lele, "Wake him up first, don't let him fall into a deep sleep."
Lin Lele nodded, then scooped up a handful of snow from the ground and smeared it directly on Liu Qidong's face.
Liu Qidong was jolted awake by the icy snow water. The intense pain and cold made him shiver, and his consciousness gradually returned.
He stared wide-eyed at Chen Yu in terror, as if he were looking at an arrogant demon.
"Sorry, I shot you an extra time. Remember that," Chen Yu said calmly. "Now, Liu Qidong, I hope you can answer my questions more honestly."
"I don't know, Chen Yu, just kill me! Let me tell you straight, 'Tianyu Base' and you yourself have been targeted by Young Master Qin. Your final fate won't be any better than ours!" Liu Qidong said through gritted teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes.
His tone was full of provocation, as if he had already disregarded his own life and death, only hoping to provoke Chen Yu and end all of this as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu made a gesture as if to fire his gun, but then he laughed and said, "This shot is a fair compensation for the extra shot I gave you earlier."
If Liu Qidong were to be shot again, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it, so he decided to let him rest first.
Then, Chen Yu looked at Li Xiubai and the other three: "Can any of you tell me why you government officials are afraid of someone outside the system?"
"Hmm~?" Seeing that the others didn't answer, Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you going to tell me? Then I'll pick someone?"
As he spoke, he pointed to Dai Dong: "You're the one."
When Dai Dong was called out by Chen Yu, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. His voice trembled as he tried to find a sliver of reason amidst his fear.
"Commander, I was wrong, I wouldn't dare... No, no, no, I'll talk, I'll talk." Seeing Chen Yu about to shoot, Dai Dong hurriedly said, "Liu Xian... Liu Qidong is Young Master Qin's man, we can't afford to offend him at all!"
“Commander, my loyalty to you is as clear as day, but Young Master Qin, he…”
"Bang!" A bullet pierced one of Dai Dong's legs.
"You talk too much nonsense," Chen Yu said calmly.
Then, ignoring Dai Dong who was still screaming on the ground, he looked at Zhao Wenhong and asked, "Representative Zhao, let me ask you, who exactly is this so-called 'Young Master Qin'?"
"Mr. Chen, please don't make things difficult for me." Zhao Wenhong said with a bitter expression.
"Bang!"
Without saying a word, Chen Yu added another screaming person to the ground.
Then, he looked at Xu Long.
"Young Master Qin is that person's son, Chen Yu. You can't afford to offend that person." In order not to follow in the footsteps of the previous three, Xu Long hurriedly said, while pointing to the sky.
"Bang!" Chen Yu fired another bullet.
"I hate it when people play riddles with me."
