Chapter 10: Investigating Hot Springs (or Water)



Through related reports, Chen Yu roughly figured out Shen Zhong's temperament and personality.

He was pleasantly surprised to discover that the old man was also an eschatologist.

He not only calls on everyone to protect the environment on various occasions, but also personally participated in the construction of the National Doomsday Seed Vault.

This was incredibly good news for Chen Yu.

He personally experienced the apocalypse, so who in this world understands the apocalypse better than him?

He was worried that he wouldn't have anything in common with big science, so this was like a pillow delivered to his sleepy head.

Thinking about this, Chen Yu's mind raced, and soon he had an idea, so he started typing the email content on the computer.

After careful consideration, an hour later, Chen Yu clicked the send button and sent the email.

Next, all you need to do is wait for their reply.

It was noon by the time he finished all this. Chen Yu had a quick lunch and then drove back to Anping.

Anping has several geothermal energy sites, and he can't just wait for Shen Zhong's reply.

During this time, he could also scout out the location, and if Shen Zhong agreed to help him, he could then have Shen Zhong check it out.

In the afternoon, Chen Yu's first stop was a small town under the jurisdiction of Anping, where there happened to be a famous hot spring resort.

As he drove closer to the resort, he smelled the distinctive sulfurous odor of hot springs in the air.

This scent is especially noticeable in winter, giving people a warm and relaxing feeling.

The town has quaint buildings, and the trees lining the streets are covered with thick frost, creating a unique winter landscape.

Chen Yu parked his car in the parking lot of the hot spring resort, bought a ticket, and then walked into the scenic area.

He first arrived at an open hot spring pool, where the water was crystal clear and steaming.

Despite it being Monday, many tourists were still leisurely soaking in the hot springs.

Chen Yu stood by the pool, feeling the warmth of the hot spring, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He had already begun to revel in the ultimate luxury of soaking in a hot spring in an extremely cold, apocalyptic world.

Chen Yu quickly put these unrealistic ideas out of his mind; the important thing now was to get down to business.

Although he was in a hot spring resort, he showed no interest in soaking in the hot springs. Instead, he began to examine his surroundings.

For example, where high walls need to be built, and where can be used to build his post-apocalyptic bunker!

After all, in that extremely cold post-apocalyptic world, these hot springs are highly sought-after, and it would be impossible to defend them without adequate defenses!

Actually, this place is quite nice. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the terrain is sufficient to meet Chen Yu's needs for establishing a post-apocalyptic base. He took a liking to this place at first sight.

The only drawback is that this place is a popular tourist destination, and it would be impossible to buy it and build a power plant without sufficient financial resources.

His only hope now is the jackpot on the 2nd of next month. He was quite envious when he saw the 220 million jackpot.

But now it seems that this amount of money is simply a drop in the ocean.

This amount of money is enough to build a post-apocalyptic bunker, but it's simply not enough to build a power plant!

As for post-apocalyptic supplies, he has an alternate dimension, so it's not difficult for him to solve the problem. He can buy them for free, so it's no problem for him at all.

He really wanted to win an even bigger prize, but unfortunately, he only remembered that one winning ticket from his previous life!

"Looks like I'll have to think of other ways to make money," Chen Yu thought to himself.

Just then, two young women in their early twenties stormed towards him angrily: "You shameless scoundrel, have you no sense of shame at all? Get the hell out of here right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

Startled by the sudden angry rebuke, Chen Yu snapped out of his daze and immediately understood what it meant.

He was both amused and exasperated. Yesterday at the Jianglin Power Plant, he was mistaken for a spy trying to cause trouble, and today at this hot spring resort, he was mistaken for a hooligan. Do I really look like a bad guy?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Who would go to the area around a power plant to look at the scenery for no reason? And they even drove around the power plant again and again.

When he arrived at the hot springs, instead of soaking in them, he wandered around, occasionally staring at something deep in thought.

People within his sight would naturally have negative associations.

Although, perhaps, maybe he really did "use his position for personal gain" and glance at things he shouldn't have seen a few more times.

However, Chen Yu is a gentleman, and with so many people watching, he cannot allow his innocence to be smeared.

So he tried to explain, "Miss, I think you've misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding? I saw you staring at us for ages with such a lewd smile. I already warned you with my eyes, but you didn't stop at all!" a short-haired girl said angrily.

"I was thinking about something and didn't notice you at all. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage!" Chen Yu said helplessly.

"Where are the security cameras in this place? You're clearly being unreasonable!" the short-haired girl said angrily.

"Don't try to be unreasonable. My gaze was fixed on the cliff behind you," Chen Yu argued.

The short-haired girl laughed angrily upon hearing this: "So, we were just being delusional?"

Chen Yu did not answer, but stood tall and proud, looking aloof.

The long-haired girl became even angrier upon seeing this, and turned to her companion, saying, "Xiao Qing, call the police! I'm going to teach this pervert a lesson today!"

The girl named Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment, looking troubled, and said, "Sister, forget it. He doesn't seem to be lying, and besides, he's so handsome, you..."
