That was in his previous life, the second year after the apocalypse. On that day, after seeing that grandmother and grandson, he suddenly felt compassion for them for some reason, and he was willing to turn against his own team members to help them.
However, for various reasons, he eventually backed down and watched helplessly as the poor grandmother and grandson disappeared into the snow, which could also be described as their journey to death.
After this incident, Chen Yu's heart was completely broken, and from then on, he was unmoved by anything he encountered.
Even when faced with human tragedies like cannibalism due to unbearable hunger, he remained indifferent and watched.
His heart was already as firm as a rock, and the saying "Every man for himself" became his life motto.
However, for some reason, the lonely figures of the grandmother and grandson in the wind and snow lingered in his mind and tormented him from time to time.
Perhaps this was the only remaining conscience he possessed in the heart of the apocalypse!
Originally, after he was reborn, he had forgotten about this matter, but for some reason, this distant memory reappeared in his dream last night.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu was filled with mixed emotions and felt a little uneasy. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the viewing platform.
It was only a little past 6 a.m., and it was still pitch black outside. Looking at the snowflakes crashing against the bulletproof glass through the window, Chen Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Our mission is to continue the 'spark' of human civilization, and we should prioritize the greater good!"
…………
He deeply understood the meaning of "putting the overall situation first." In his previous life, he was "optimized" by the base under the pretext of "old age and physical weakness" and "putting the overall situation first" because of long-term malnutrition and overwork.
"They keep talking about continuing the 'spark' of human civilization, yet they stand by and watch helplessly as the weak elderly and children walk step by step toward death," Chen Yu murmured, a hint of mockery in his voice. "Is this what they call 'civilization'?"
"If that's the case, then we don't need this so-called 'civilization'!" Chen Yu's voice carried a hint of determination, and his heart underwent a tremendous change at this moment.
He began to question the beliefs he had always held, wondering if they would truly become worthless in the face of the cruelty of the apocalypse.
