After breakfast, everyone cleaned up the table and kitchen together, then put on their winter gear and prepared to go out.

Chen Yu had been away for nine months and his understanding of the base's current situation was no longer comprehensive. He needed to personally go to the site for investigation and research to grasp the latest developments and existing problems.

Although Qiao Meng and Yang Yue had been staying at the Tianyu Base headquarters, they had been staying in the bunker for a long time and had not gone out for inspections for a long time, so they also accompanied them.

Feng Xinran, as the base's security minister, also came along because she was moving back to her old place.

It's necessary to show Li Wanqing and Zhang Zihan around the Tianyu base since they've just arrived.

It wouldn't be appropriate to leave Liu Menghan alone in the bunker, so they were taken along as well.

The group of eight took the high-speed elevator in the bunker to the top of the mountain. Under Lin Lele's skillful operation, they took off in the base's latest Z-40 helicopter and headed down to the base below.

The helicopter flew steadily in the air, and through the windows they looked down at the entire base.

Modern buildings and snow-sculpted structures, like works of art, are scattered across the snow-covered landscape, creating a unique and picturesque scene of extreme cold.

The cold sunlight shone on the snow, reflecting a dazzling light that made the entire base appear both mysterious and full of life.

Chen Yu's gaze swept across the window, nodding frequently, exuding a sense of boundless pride.

After all, all of this is the result of the collective efforts of the fund investors under his leadership.

From the initial desolate wasteland to the prosperous and orderly scene today, every step has been a testament to their wisdom and hard work.

Chen Yu knew that as a leader, he not only needed to have foresight and vision, but also to be down-to-earth and personally participate in every important aspect.

Suddenly, Chen Yu frowned and turned to Qiao Meng, saying, "What's going on with that slum-like area? How can our Tianyu Base allow such an area to exist? Isn't this disheartening for our base members?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Meng looked in the direction Chen Yu pointed. There was indeed a simple area that stood out from the surrounding modern buildings, as if time had stood still there.

Qiao Meng smiled wryly: "Mr. Chen Yu, have you forgotten? That's Red Sky Alliance territory."

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow: "Red Sky Alliance? Li Xiubai and the others haven't disbanded yet?"

The Tianyu Base had only been established for a few months when a group of people started causing trouble there, and Li Xiubai was one of the culprits.

At that time, Chen Yu directly eliminated tens of thousands of rioting Christians and executed the ringleaders one by one, leaving only Li Xiubo alive.

The reason he was spared was not because he was soft-hearted, but because the base was too complicated at the time. There were not only many ungrateful people, but also many people with different ideas from him.

Because there are so many people, and they are lurking among the Christians, it is impossible to distinguish them unless they come forward.

Such a simple and violent approach of blocking is not as effective as guiding, so he used Li Xiubai and some tricks to separate the base.

Let them form their own faction and take the supplies from the base warehouse with them, and the Red Sky Alliance was born.

The base at that time had only 500,000 people, but Li Xiubai's Red Sky Alliance took away more than 300,000. Chen Yu remembered that the supplies they took away were only tens of thousands of tons.

Qiao Meng nodded, a complex emotion flashing across her face. She sighed and said, "Yes, back then their base was just across from our Tianyu Base. But with the explosive growth of our base's population, they've gradually been surrounded by our development wave. Although there were many small forces around before, their people were either absorbed by us or relocated elsewhere. But the Red Sky Alliance is more complicated. They have their own rules and systems, and their members have strong cohesion. Even if we offer them reasonable compensation, they won't move."

"Cohesion? It's been over a year. They should have run out of food by now. They're having trouble even getting enough to eat. They've been watching our Tianyu Base grow stronger day by day. How can they still have cohesion?" Chen Yu asked, puzzled.

"You don't understand, do you? Alliance Leader Li isn't stupid. He built high walls long ago. Those people inside have no idea what's going on outside. They probably still think our Tianyu Base is living in dire straits," Feng Xinran interjected, her tone tinged with mockery.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu took a closer look and, sure enough, a tall, solid ice wall stood out around the simple area, topped with barbed wire and surveillance equipment, making it appear both enclosed and heavily guarded.

"I see. They actually used this method to maintain internal stability and control." Chen Yu nodded thoughtfully, a deep thought flashing in his eyes.

“Yes, although Li Xiubo is ambitious, he does have a knack for managing and controlling people’s hearts,” Qiao Meng echoed, her tone tinged with helpless sympathy. “It’s just a pity for those innocent disaster victims who were fooled by him.”

“Innocent? When they were creating division, they didn’t think about innocence or not; they only thought about their own selfish interests.” Chen Yu’s voice carried a hint of coldness. “We cannot let this situation continue. We must take measures to resolve the Red Sky Alliance problem.”

"By the way, how have they managed to survive until now?" Chen Yu suddenly thought of another crucial question and turned to ask Qiao Meng.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Meng said somewhat awkwardly, "As you know, although our Tianyu Base has very high standards for recruiting members, we don't completely ignore those who are rejected or the survivors stranded outside. We've set up multiple aid stations and supply distribution points outside, distributing the technologically advanced food synthesized on the production line, as well as the uneaten food nearing its expiration date and some essential living supplies to those in need, trying our best to ensure their basic survival needs are met. However, the Red Sky Alliance seems to have taken advantage of this. They've sent people disguised as ordinary survivors and refugees to collect large quantities of supplies from these aid stations and supply distribution points, and then secretly transport them back to their camps."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu's face darkened: "This behavior is nothing short of theft and robbery! The food and supplies that our citizens have worked so hard to produce in the factories are being wasted like this. We must take immediate action to stop them!"
