An hour later, Chen Yu and Lin Lele walked out of the dilapidated building.
He burned everything in the room, including Liu Ying's body, to prevent Liu Ying from leaving any evidence of his extradimensional space.
"Sigh~! Chen Yu, when will this cycle of revenge end? Why did you have to be so ruthless?" Li Xiubai sighed.
"Hehe, isn't that it?" Chen Yu said with a faint smile, without offering any further explanation.
Seeing that Li Xiubai still wanted to say something, Chen Yu interrupted him directly: "Alright, we should hurry up with our cooperation."
After saying that, he pulled open the sled door and got into the driver's seat.
The others looked at each other in bewilderment and quickly got into the car.
…………
In the dead of night, amidst the freezing cold, the conference room at Tianyu Hospital was brightly lit.
Chen Yu sat upright on the platform, quietly listening to the heated discussion among the attendees below.
"To overcome natural disasters, we must bring the survivors together! Only in this way can we better coordinate the allocation of resources and labor."
Tianyu Hospital President Wei Hongbo delivered a passionate speech, his eyes gleaming with determination and hope for the future.
“Wouldn’t that be too risky? After all, the outside environment is harsh right now, and sending people on a large-scale migration could lead to many unknown risks,” Li Xiubai expressed his concerns.
“Yes, there are at least 300,000 survivors in Anping. Managing so many people together is a huge challenge. Also, where are we going to find such a large venue?” Qi Xiaowei also looked worried.
The thought of 300,000 people gathering together was enough to give him, the police chief, a headache.
"Heh, management isn't a problem. Anyone who dares to misbehave will be killed without mercy! Kill a few more, and everyone will behave themselves," Lin Ping sneered.
After a day of disaster relief, his mindset has changed, and he firmly believes that only strong measures can maintain order.
"No! How will the people view us if we do that?" Qi Xiaowei retorted decisively.
"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures," Lin Ping said calmly. "If we want most people to survive this natural disaster, then some necessary tough measures are unavoidable."
“But we can’t be too brutal, or we’ll be devoured sooner or later.” Qi Xiaowei frowned.
"In the face of natural disaster, showing mercy to those who undermine unity is irresponsible to others!" Lin Ping said coldly.
Qi Xiaowei wanted to argue, but Li Xiubo stopped him.
Then, Li Xiubai glanced at the attendees and quickly turned his attention back to Lin Ping, saying, "I can understand Company Commander Lin's concerns, but perhaps we can be a little more moderate and not condemn everyone. At least we should listen to the voices of those who oppose us, and then decide based on the situation?"
After Li Xiubo finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Yu on the podium and found that Chen Yu still maintained his calm expression as always, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that Lin Ping still wanted to refute, he didn't want to continue arguing about this issue, so he quickly said, "Let's put aside the management issue for now and talk about the venue first! It's really unrealistic to gather so many people in one place. I suggest that we take our district government office as the center and designate several large residential areas around it as gathering points. That way, everyone can squeeze in, and it shouldn't be a problem."
"You're talking nonsense!" Lin Lele slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "All the resources are provided by our Tianyu Group, so why should they benefit your government?"
“This…” Li Xiubai’s expression was not very good. He was, after all, the head of a district and the local official of Anping. When had he ever been so rudely contradicted, especially by a young girl?
"Ahem!" Feng Xinran coughed lightly, breaking the awkward situation. "District Chief, Lin Lele has never thought things through before she speaks, so don't take it too seriously."
"What do you mean by that? Feng Xinran, explain yourself clearly!" Lin Lele glared angrily at Feng Xinran.
Feng Xinran ignored her and continued, "However, District Chief, although she was a bit direct, her concerns are not without merit. Tianyu Group is quite a distance from the district government, especially in this freezing weather, where the roads are difficult to navigate. It would be very inconvenient to transport supplies there every day. Furthermore, as the snow on the ground and buildings gets deeper, even ordinary residential buildings are not safe, posing a significant safety hazard."
"I...that's really what I thought," Lin Lele quickly corrected herself.
Everyone present fell into deep thought upon hearing this. The blizzard had been falling incessantly every day, and now the ground was covered with more than 10 meters of snow. If this continued, those buildings would probably collapse sooner or later.
This matter certainly needs to be treated with great care.
"Alright, stop arguing," Chen Yu said. "People definitely need to get together so that they can help each other and solve problems together in a timely manner when they encounter difficulties."
"The world has changed. Everyone will go crazy for survival. If our people are too scattered, we may not be able to put up an effective resistance if forces from other places invade. Therefore, gathering together is the only option!"
"My idea is to use the headquarters of my Tianyu Group as the core, and designate a specific site at the foot of Shiban Mountain to build a new disaster relief shelter! To form a base for post-apocalyptic survivors!" Chen Yu said in a deep voice.
“This… Chen Yu, even in a prosperous era before a natural disaster, this amount of work would be a huge undertaking, let alone under such extreme conditions.” Li Xiubai frowned.
"No matter how great the difficulties, they are not a problem when divided by the hundreds of thousands of survivors in Anping," Chen Yu said with a faint smile. "Anyway, everyone has nothing else to do, right?"
"Hehe, Chen Yu, you're still too idealistic." Qi Xiaowei smiled wryly. "We do have a lot of manpower, but there are only a few who can actually work honestly. I'm afraid not many people will respond when the time comes."
"Who said I was going to call on them to work?" Chen Yu retorted.
"You mean...?" Qi Xiaowei asked suspiciously.
The others looked at Chen Yu with puzzled expressions. If he didn't call on them, would they really come to work on their own initiative?
"From this moment forward, Tianyu Base is officially established! Only by joining Tianyu Base can you receive the base's protection and daily free food!" Chen Yu said in a deep voice, his tone carrying an unquestionable authority. "As for where the new members will live, that's for them to figure out themselves."
Upon hearing this, everyone instantly understood Chen Yu's intention.
People are inherently selfish. It's impossible to motivate everyone to work collectively. They only become proactive when their personal interests are at stake.
