Having planned everything, Chen Yu ate breakfast, took Lin Lele, and went out.
A week later, the two left the warm bunker again and came to this vast snowfield. Feeling the temperature was even higher than before, Chen Yu was a little unaccustomed to it.
Lin Lele was so cold that she was shivering all over and kept saying that she wanted to go back to her home.
Chen Yu naturally ignored Lin Lele's words and treated them as mere background noise.
He couldn't help but sigh, realizing that living in such a comfortable bunker for so long was truly not a good thing.
After inspecting the situation at Tianyu Hospital, the two drove their brand-new M-Hunter snowmobile into the city.
Because of the excellent performance of the M-Hunter, Chen Yu had ordered dozens of them before the natural disaster, and all of them were custom-made sled models.
That's why he generously gifted Feng Zhengyang the M-Hunter snowmobile that was riddled with bullet holes that day.
After all, he has plenty of these things; he can afford to give them away!
Who is he? Driving a car that's been dented and battered is just too shabby.
The sled sped across the snowfield, the white world stretching as far as the eye could see. Before long, the sled carried the two people into Anping city.
Anping District
This once bustling city, under the influence of this extreme cold disaster, has its buildings covered with thick snow, resembling white sculptures.
In some low-rise buildings, half of the building was buried by snow.
The poorer ones couldn't even support the weight of the snow; the roofs collapsed, the walls cracked, leaving only lonely ruins shivering in the cold wind.
The entire city was deathly silent, sending a chill down one's spine.
Having lived in the apocalypse for three years in his previous life, Chen Yu was already used to this and, apart from a few sighs, it didn't stir up much of a ripple in his heart.
Lin Lele was deeply shocked when she saw this scene for the first time. Her eyes were filled with fear and unease. Only now did she truly realize the severity of this natural disaster.
"Sir...sir, are there any survivors in this city? Have they all frozen to death?" Lin Lele's voice trembled slightly as she looked around at the scene, a sense of helplessness welling up inside her.
“You underestimate the vitality of human life,” Chen Yu replied calmly. “Don’t be fooled by the fact that this city looks like a dead city. Believe me, right now, in every neighborhood and every building, all sorts of struggles for survival and stories are unfolding.”
Lin Lele was shocked by Chen Yu's words. She stared at Chen Yu with wide eyes, unable to believe her eyes.
Chen Yu took a special binoculars out of the armrest box and handed it to Lin Lele.
Lin Lele took the binoculars with a suspicious look and, following Chen Yu's instructions, aimed them at a particularly dilapidated-looking neighborhood.
As Lin Lele adjusted the focus, she was surprised to find that behind the windows of the snow-covered high-rise buildings, there were faint lights flickering, and she could vaguely see figures moving about.
"This..." Lin Lele was so surprised that she couldn't speak. She finally believed Chen Yu's words.
“Look, this is a miracle of life,” Chen Yu said with a smile. “Even in such harsh conditions, people are still searching for hope for survival, but…”
"Ah!" Lin Lele suddenly screamed, and the binoculars slipped from her hand. "Murder...murder! Sir, I just saw several people rush into that room, and they're fighting each other!"
Lin Lele's voice trembled with fear, and her face was pale; she was clearly terrified by what she had just seen through the binoculars.
"However, most of them don't know how to unite and only fight each other for limited resources," Chen Yu's voice remained calm as he quietly recounted. "Of course, we can't blame them. After all, resources are limited and simply cannot support everyone's survival. If they are not the butcher today, they will become the fish sooner or later. This is the cruel law of survival in the apocalypse! In such a harsh environment, when resources and population are disproportionate, all order will collapse, and humanity will eventually revert to its beastly nature!"
"Sir, I'm serious, they really killed someone!" Lin Lele thought Chen Yu thought she was joking, so she reminded him again, "Sir, let's call the police right away!"
"Call the police my ass! The officers are barely able to keep their own lives in order, and you still want to call the police?" Chen Yu said irritably. "Take your gear and follow my instructions."
"Huh? Where are we going?" Lin Lele asked nervously, her heart racing, clearly already having some idea of what was going to happen next.
“Qing…lou!” Chen Yu said, enunciating each word clearly.
Upon hearing this word, a hint of fear flashed in Lin Lele's eyes. She wasn't stupid; since Chen Yu had told her to bring her weapons, the meaning of the words "Qinglou" was self-evident.
"Is this really okay?" Lin Lele asked cautiously.
Despite her seemingly carefree attitude, flying fighter jets and carrying automatic rifles, she's ultimately just an ordinary young woman who graduated from university less than two years ago. She's never even killed a chicken before, so naturally, she's vehemently opposed to Chen Yu asking her to "clean up a brothel."
However, she did not question the legality of Chen Yu's "clearing out the building." After all, Chen Yu was a member of a state secret department and her superior. In this time of national crisis, she naturally had the right to kill a ruthless bandit who had committed malicious murder on the spot.
"Do you want to be the fish on the chopping block or the butcher?" Chen Yu said calmly.
Lin Lele was stunned by Chen Yu's question. She stared blankly at Chen Yu, a strange emotion welling up inside her. Of course, she didn't want to be a fish on the chopping block, but she was also afraid of becoming the one wielding the butcher's knife.
