Everyone present agreed that Tianyu Base's achievements were inseparable from Chen Yu's wisdom and leadership.

Chen Yu felt incredibly pleased, a satisfied expression spreading across his face as he basked in the praise of the crowd.

Just then, a discordant voice suddenly rang out: "Mr. Chen is truly a saint of our time!"

This statement appears to be a compliment, but the person who said it was actually speaking with a tone full of sarcasm.

Everyone present cast strange glances at the owner of the voice, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward.

"Ahem!" Chen Yu coughed lightly, pulling himself away from the praise, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Liu, you are mistaken. I, Chen Yu, am not a saint, nor are there any saints in this world. I am just an ordinary survivor who uses my limited abilities to contribute to the continuation of human civilization in this apocalypse to the best of my ability."

Chen Yu's gaze deepened, as if piercing through time and space to see into the distant future. He continued, "Each of us is a speck of dust in this apocalypse, but it is these specks of dust that converge to form the force that propels history forward. I, Chen Yu, am but one speck of dust among many, fortunate enough to stand in this position and lead everyone forward together."

Suddenly, Chen Yu changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "I'll say it again: our Tianyu base strictly prohibits the practice of currying favor with superiors. What we need is to be pragmatic, to unite as one, and to face difficulties together."

Looking at Liu Menghan, he said sternly, "Liu Menghan, given your exaggerated flattery of the leader today, I have decided to give you a warning and deduct three months' salary as punishment!"

Then he looked at the others: "I hope you can take this as a warning, always keep a clear head, and stick to your responsibilities."

The atmosphere in the command room became unusually serious, and everyone silently lowered their heads, reflecting on their own behavior.

Only Liu Menghan glared at Chen Yu, she was furious.

Even a fool could tell she was mocking Chen Yu, but Chen Yu accused her of sycophancy. Those who actually fawned got away with it, but she, who spoke the truth, was punished.

She had every reason to suspect that Chen Yu was retaliating against her.

Actually, Liu Menghan was wrong. Chen Yu's punishment of her was definitely not to retaliate against her.

He's not the kind of person who's petty, is he?

The reason for punishing Liu Menghan is that she is inherently rebellious, and this has become increasingly apparent recently. If this behavior is not stopped, it may escalate and eventually affect the discipline and unity of the entire base.

Everything he did was for the harmony and stability of Tianyu Base, absolutely not for retaliation, absolutely not!

"Ahem!" Zhao Feng coughed lightly, breaking the dull atmosphere.

"Mr. Chen, Nuremberg has been captured. Can our airship proceed there now?"

Chen Yu nodded slightly, shifting his gaze from Liu Menghan to Zhao Feng, and said, "The airship fleet will be fully deployed to Nuremberg."

"Yes." Zhao Feng accepted the order and immediately issued instructions to the airship commanders to ensure that each airship clearly understood its mission and objectives.

Under Zhao Feng's precise command, the three "cold-weather relief" airships and two transport airships quickly adjusted their course and headed towards Newland City.

In the sky, the airship formation resembled a giant silver dragon, piercing through the clouds with magnificent momentum.

"Hello, fellow citizens of Newland City! We are from the 'International Militia for Cold Relief and Disaster Reduction,' and my name is Chen Yu. We have come to Newland City with hope and peace." As the airship arrived over Newland City, Chen Yu spoke warmly into the microphone, "I think Colonel Paul has already told you that our 'International Militia for Cold Relief and Disaster Reduction' is a relief organization jointly recognized by the government of Merica and the Navy. Our mission is to help every survivor struggling to survive in this apocalyptic world rebuild their homes, restore order, and allow peace and hope to take root and flourish again on this land."

"The relief supplies you have received recently are all thanks to the selfless assistance of our 'International Militia for Cold Relief and Disaster Relief'." Chen Yu's voice, transmitted clearly through the loudspeaker, reached every corner of Newland City. His tone was full of warmth and strength. "We know that in this apocalyptic world, every piece of supplies is hard-won. Therefore, we promise to continue to provide Newland City with necessary assistance and support."

"We will not only provide material assistance, but also send professional teams to help you with the reconstruction of the city, including repairing infrastructure, providing medical assistance, and rebuilding the education system. We will establish a survivor base in Newland to help you recover your lives in all aspects and truly revitalize Newland."

Chen Yu paused for a moment, then continued, "What you may not know is that before Newland City, we had already provided aid to many cities and regions in Merica, including but not limited to: Rocky City, Gold Mountain City, Seattle City, Helen City, Salt Lake City, Pittsmarck City, Omar City, Hughes City, Detroit City, Mongko City, Chicago City, and so on. The survivor bases in those areas have gradually grown stronger, becoming oases in the apocalypse. The people in those areas have now returned to a stable and happy life, and industrial production in those areas has either recovered or is in the process of recovering. They are gradually shaking off the shadow of the apocalypse and moving towards a better future."

“We know that Newland was once a prosperous city with a rich history and culture. When the end times came, it was severely damaged, and you lost many relatives, partners, and neighbors. But we believe that with everyone’s joint efforts, Newland will surely regain its former glory, and everyone will surely be able to live a happy and fulfilling life again.”

"Our team will go all out to work hand in hand with the residents of Newland to create a safe, stable and hopeful home."

Chen Yu's voice was full of inspiring power; every word he spoke was like a seed sown in the hearts of the residents of Newland City, giving them hope for the future.
