His tone revealed a deep worry and vigilance, as if warning them that they were about to face a severe test. His words were like cold raindrops, shocking and unsettling Yu Wei and Xiao Yi, as if they were pushed into an unknown abyss.
The questions and Mr. Yu's concerns were both quite reasonable, and they began to realize that this base wasn't as simple as they'd imagined. Perhaps their ideas wouldn't be so easily realized either.
Mr. Yu continued, “Perhaps you can choose the same path as them and renovate the existing location.”
This sentence was like opening a mysterious door, making Yu Wei and Xiao Yi's eyes light up instantly. Yu Wei was even more busy helping Old Man Yu fill up the tea, and said in a playful voice: "Grandpa, good grandpa, come on, do you know something?"
His tone revealed a playful and expectant tone, as if he was acting coquettishly towards Grandpa Yu. Grandpa Yu, in turn, smiled at him, as if admiring his clever grandson. Their conversation was full of humor and lightheartedness, but beneath the surface lay deep thoughts and decisions.
Old Man Yu cleared his throat and said to Wei with a hint of resentment, "You're the slippery one. However, I do know a little about the reconstruction of the secret project. I may not know everything, but the approximate location is correct. I've looked at the map you drew. About 50 kilometers southwest of the mountain range over there, you'll see a vertical cliff."
"The cliffs on all four sides appear incredibly steep, like a work of nature. However, nestled within this thousand-meter cliff lies a natural cave. Enter and you'll discover a complex and intricate structure, carved thousands of years ago by humans to hide from bandits and soldiers. A hundred meters below, lies a deserted military base."
"It was once a top-secret location. If you want to explore, you can consider going there. We chose the Doomsday Base instead of there simply because it didn't have enough space. However, for you, the space there is more than enough."
Mr. Yu's words were filled with mystery and history, which made Yu Wei and Xiao Yi even more excited and curious. They began to imagine the mysterious place and thought about how to use this new clue to explore this place that sounded so curious. Mr. Yu's advice also strengthened their faith and determination.
While the two were delighted, Xiao Yi seemed a little worried. He wasn't as optimistic as Yu Wei. After all, such a good place might have already been occupied by someone else. If they discovered the presence of humans, how would they respond? Should they seize this place, choose to join them, or find another way out? These were all questions he needed to think carefully about.
Xiao Yi's worries were not without reason. In this apocalyptic world, resources were scarce, and humans would do anything to survive. If they discovered such a superior refuge, it would likely lead to unnecessary trouble. However, such worries did not dampen their enthusiasm, but instead made them more determined to explore this place.
Yu Wei looked into Xiao Yi's eyes, understanding his concern. He gently patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, we will definitely find a better solution. As long as we unite as one, no difficulty can stop us from moving forward." Their conversation was filled with sincerity and trust, as if they saw the light of hope in each other's eyes. In this apocalyptic world, they supported and encouraged each other, facing the difficulties and challenges ahead together.
The seemingly brief and simple conversation contained an unprecedented amount of information. Ye Ming fell into deep thought, his thoughts surging like waves, unable to calm down. He was shocked by the old man's words, and at the same time, he felt the old man's profound understanding and rich experience of surviving the apocalypse.
Meanwhile, Old Man Yu asked Xiao Yi for some needle and thread and began mending his cold-weather clothes. His technique was skillful and deft, like that of an experienced tailor. He was not only mending his clothes, but also working for his own safety. He hoped that by mending his clothes, he could make them stronger and more durable, so that he could cope with the harsh cold outside.
The temperature outside was currently at least -60 degrees Celsius, making it difficult to explore other places. It seemed they could only wait, waiting for the right time and conditions.
Such a wait might make people feel anxious and uneasy, but Ye Ming and Xiao Yi felt firmness and confidence from Mr. Yu's actions. They understood that only by going through the test of severe cold could they better meet the challenges of the future.
Xiao Yi was absorbed in reading through documents about the abandoned base, while Yu Wei began researching the details of the previous split. Each of the four occupied a corner, lost in their own worlds, busy with their own affairs. However, this peaceful atmosphere was shattered by a bang on the door.
Xiao Yi's eyes were as sharp as a falcon. He was the first to notice someone approaching and immediately put on his cold-weather gear, holding a sniper rifle with extremely strong penetrating power. He made a quiet gesture to Yu Wei, who was closest to him. Yu Wei understood and quietly approached Ye Ming and Old Man Yu.
Ye Ming reacted quickly and wanted to step forward to help, but was gently stopped by Yu Wei. Yu Wei also made a quiet gesture, indicating that they should remain calm. In this limited space, Xiao Yi would feel more comfortable going alone. If Ye Ming went to help, Xiao Yi would still need to consider Ye Ming, which would inevitably restrict his hands and feet.
