Just when the fund investors were full of hope for the future, Chen Yu's next words dealt them a heavy blow.

"First of all, I want to make it clear that Tianyu Base does not accept just anyone. Even members of the base from branch bases need to meet certain standards and conditions." Chen Yu's voice was calm and serious, instantly pulling the members who were immersed in beautiful fantasies back to reality.

Upon hearing this, the fund investors exchanged bewildered glances, their faces, which had just been full of anticipation, now filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this? Are we not qualified to join the Tianyu Base?" A young base member stepped forward indignantly, his eyes filled with doubt and dissatisfaction.

Chen Yu was not angry; he understood the feelings of these fund investors.

After all, they had just been freed from Li Yi's tyranny and were filled with longing and anticipation for the future.

Having experienced the same endless oppression at the Fireseed Base in his previous life, and ultimately being ordered to be burned alive by the base's management after losing his value, he naturally understood the feelings of these base members at this moment.

However, understanding does not mean unlimited tolerance.

After all, Tianyu Base has learned a bloody lesson from the disorderly recruitment that led to its downfall. If the base's residents are not of good character, do not share the same values ​​as the base, and do not agree with Tianyu Base's core values, then such residents will not only fail to contribute to the base's prosperity, but may also become a factor that undermines the base's stability.

Chen Yu's eyes deepened, as if he could see into people's hearts.

"I know you have just gone through hardship and are full of hope for the future. But I must also tell you that the reason why Tianyu Base has been able to stand firm in these ruins is because we have always adhered to strict standards and principles." Chen Yu's voice was firm and powerful, as if it could penetrate the hearts of everyone.

"What we need is not just an increase in quantity, but also an improvement in quality. Everyone who joins the Tianyu Base must undergo rigorous screening and assessment to ensure that their character, abilities, and ideology are in line with the core values ​​of the base."

"Only in this way can we overcome this natural disaster together, rebuild our blue planet home, and ensure that everyone can live safely and with dignity on this land." Chen Yu's words were filled with a firm belief in the future.

“I know that such a request may disappoint or even upset some of you. But please remember that Tianyu Base is not just a place to provide shelter; it is a big family, a community where we fight and grow together. In this family, what we need are partners who can support, understand, and trust each other.”

Chen Yu's gaze swept over everyone present, his eyes filled with encouragement and expectation. "I believe that many of you have the potential and ability to become such partners. As long as you are willing to put in the effort and improve yourselves, you will definitely have the opportunity to become a member of the Tianyu Base."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Based on the experience of other branch bases, about one-third of the people will be able to pass the entry test. Whether to retain the Fireseed Base or establish the Tianyu Branch Base on the spot is your choice. I will give you 10 minutes to consider. After 10 minutes, you will vote by raising your hands."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, the fund investors began to whisper among themselves, some looking troubled, while others had determined looks in their eyes.

They knew that this decision concerned not only their personal future, but also the future of the entire community.

Ten minutes seemed to pass by incredibly quickly. When Chen Yu spoke again, all the investors stopped talking and focused their attention on him.

"Time's up, let's start voting," Chen Yu said.

Chen Yu stood before the crowd, his gaze sharp as he surveyed each person, awaiting their decision.

“Then, those who agree to retain the Fire Seed Base and manage it themselves, please raise your hands.” Chen Yu’s words were clear and forceful.

After he finished speaking, only about one-fifth of the Christian Christians raised their hands.

The drone, equipped with the identification system, hovered in the sky and quickly compiled the data.

Chen Yu glanced at the data transmitted by the drone, nodded slightly, and remained calm.

“Very good, this is your choice. Now, those who agree to establish the Tianyu branch base on this site and accept our screening and assessment, please raise your hands.”

This time, more than three-fifths of the remaining fund investors raised their hands without hesitation.

Their eyes shone with determination and hope, as if they could already see their new life at the Tianyu branch base.

They were tired of the hardships at the Fire Seed Base. Even though joining the Tianyu Base required an assessment, they were willing to give it a try because it represented a new beginning and a glimmer of hope.

Chen Yu checked the drone statistics again and nodded to himself. This result was not unexpected. After all, the conditions at Tianyu Base were what they were. As long as they passed the assessment, they could enjoy better resources and protection, which was undoubtedly a huge temptation for the base's inhabitants who were suffering in a chaotic world.

"Very good. Seeing your enthusiasm makes me very pleased." Chen Yu's voice carried a hint of satisfaction. He knew all too well that these investors had endured too much hardship; they yearned for change, for a better future. And Tianyu Base was precisely the place where they could realize that dream.

"Next, we will organize a standard entry assessment. Only those who pass the assessment can become a member of the Tianyu Rongdu branch base." Chen Yu's words were full of seriousness and earnestness.

Upon hearing this, the fund investors all nodded in agreement.

"The Tianyu Rongdu branch base will be temporarily located at the current site of the Fire Seed Base. Once the personnel are in place, we will select another location to establish a more complete and secure base," Chen Yu said calmly. "As for the original site of the Fire Seed Base and its existing resources, we will reserve them for those who failed the assessment as a guarantee of their survival. But please note that this does not mean you can let your guard down or stop moving forward. Whether you stay at the Fire Seed Base or join our Tianyu branch base, you will face the same apocalyptic challenge. What we need is unity to fight against natural and man-made disasters together."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, and then burst into enthusiastic applause and cheers.

In this way, they no longer had to worry about losing their foothold if they failed the assessment, which put their minds at ease.
