Chen Yu returned to the warehouse where he had been deceiving people, closed the door, and began retrieving supplies from the alternate dimension.
Before the apocalypse, Chen Yu looted three major ports, including Rocky Port, two super grain depots, and two military industrial group headquarters in Merica.
The White Bear Kingdom consists of six large oil refineries, a large port, a super grain depot, and a semi-abandoned military base.
Each of these super granaries stores more than 20 times the amount of grain stored in Zhongyang's granary. These three granaries alone bring his grain reserves to over 50 million tons. Combined with the various supplies from the four large ports, this gives Chen Yu a strong foundation in this extremely cold apocalyptic world.
It's no exaggeration to say that the grain stored in his space is more than the entire population of Anping could consume in a lifetime.
But Chen Yu had taken so many risks to acquire these resources in his previous life, so he couldn't just give them away for free. There's no such thing as a free lunch. He wasn't a saint, and he had no responsibility or obligation to support people who were completely unrelated to him.
Most importantly, people's hearts are unpredictable. Even if he helps those people for free, they may not be grateful. Instead, they may feel that they deserve it all.
Therefore, he had to conduct a screening process, eliminating those with unstable genes beforehand, so that only those remaining would be qualified to obtain food and supplies from him.
He spent the entire afternoon sorting out the supplies in the other dimension, selecting over 1,000 tons of old grain, 100 tons of zombie meat that had been frozen for who knows how many years, 100 boxes of instant noodles, and over 300 tons of tattered cotton-padded clothes, and stacking them in the warehouse.
He then used a special wireless transmission device to call over Lin Ping and the other soldiers who were going to participate in the grain distribution mission.
"Commander...Commander, you actually stockpiled so many good things in advance!"
The moment Lin Ping and his companions stepped into the warehouse, their eyes were instantly overwhelmed by the mountain of supplies before them, their astonishment beyond words. They circled the warehouse, feeling as if they were in an unprecedented treasure trove, every corner radiating hope and the promise of survival.
The other soldiers also had a glimmer of hope in their eyes; in this vast, snow-covered world, these grains represented life.
"Commander, are all these... are these the results of your foresight?" Lin Ping's voice trembled slightly, a mixture of disbelief at the sight before him and sincere admiration for Chen Yu's foresight.
He reached out and gently touched the well-packaged grain bags. Although the grain had a musty smell, he felt an indescribable excitement as he felt its heavy weight.
However, Lin Ping seemed to realize something soon, and his expression instantly turned somewhat gloomy.
Chen Yu keenly sensed the change in Lin Ping's emotions, frowned slightly, took a few steps forward, and looked at him with a gentle yet profound gaze.
"Lin Ping, is there anything you're worried about or thinking about? Feel free to speak up, and we can face it together."
Lin Ping took a deep breath, looked up at Chen Yu, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes, and said to Chen Yu, "Commander, you painstakingly prepared this grain before the disaster. Are you sure you really want to take it out for disaster relief?"
The other soldiers also calmed down. Although the grain in front of them looked like a lot, there were hundreds of thousands of people in Anping. This amount of grain was nothing in the face of this endless natural disaster.
"Sigh! There's nothing I can do. They're all compatriots. How can I just stand by and watch them suffer from hunger and cold?" Chen Yu sighed.
Chen Yu's words revealed helplessness and determination. He looked around at the soldiers, and every face was filled with worry about the current situation and uncertainty about the future.
“I know that this amount of food is just a drop in the bucket for Anping as a whole, but we cannot give up because of that. Every bit of help, no matter how small, is a sign of respect for life and a commitment to hope.” Chen Yu’s voice was steady and powerful. He continued, “Moreover, we are not just distributing food, but also conveying a belief—as long as we are united, there is no difficulty that we cannot overcome.”
"Alright, cheer up! You are soldiers, and it is your responsibility and duty to fight disasters and provide relief. Hurry up and load the trucks!" Chen Yu shouted to everyone.
"Yes!" the soldiers answered in unison, their voices loud and firm, their eyes burning with fervor as they looked at Chen Yu.
At this moment, their respect for Chen Yu had reached its peak. After all, Chen Yu was just a private entrepreneur, yet he was willing to selflessly donate his meager food supplies to disaster relief in the face of an unpredictable natural disaster. What kind of spirit was this?
"Due to limited supplies and the sheer number of people we need to rescue, we can only allocate food in fixed quantities to ensure a sustainable supply," Chen Yu continued.
"Sir, what do you mean?" Lin Ping asked, puzzled.
"The grain distribution plan for tomorrow is 1 liang per person."
Chen Yu held up one finger and addressed the crowd.
"This...!" The soldiers were stunned. One ounce of grain was probably not even enough to feed them for one meal. How could they possibly provide disaster relief?
"Hehe, everyone, these are difficult times. As you can see, there's only so much food here, and resources are limited. If we want everyone to receive food and have a steady supply, we can only ask you to be patient," Chen Yu said with a pained expression.
“But if that’s the case, they’ll all starve to death!” one soldier blurted out.
"Commander, is there no other plan?" He seemed a little anxious, knowing that one ounce of grain was just a drop in the ocean for starving and freezing people, and could hardly sustain their livelihood.
