"Chen Yu, Commander Chen, I don't know how much of what you said to me before was true or false, but if you can help me break free from Yang Tiejun's shackles and restore order to the political situation in Nandu, I will definitely petition the higher authorities for your commendation after the natural disaster ends!" Liu Haoyu's words revealed unprecedented sincerity and determination. In his mind, since he had already offended Yang Yue to death today, he might as well go all out.
Chen Yu was both amused and exasperated upon hearing Liu Haoyu's promise. This Liu Haoyu, promising to recommend him for credit after the natural disaster ended? This was just empty talk; he didn't seem to want to offer him any real benefits!
However, Chen Yu's target this time was not Nandu, nor was it Mayor Liu Haoyu. His real target was the Nandu Grain Depot, the key to the lifeline of the Academy of Sciences.
He has already wasted too much time at the Academy of Sciences, which is an extremely important part of the future development of his Tianyu Base, and he cannot give it up easily.
Therefore, he didn't take Liu Haoyu's little tricks too seriously.
Although Chen Yu had already guessed Yang Tiejun's key role in this from Liu Haoyu's attitude towards Yang Yue, he was still surprised when Liu Haoyu said that Nandu, including the Nandu granary, was under Yang Tiejun's control.
In the past, Baqing was caused by police chief Yu Gang. If it weren't for his appearance, the entire Baqing would probably have been firmly under Yu Gang's control.
Now, it seems that police chiefs are stirring up trouble again. Are all police chiefs this powerful?
Thinking of this, Chen Yu couldn't help but wonder. In Anping, where his Tianyu base was located, the police chief Qi Xiaowei kept talking about "winning half a move against Heaven." Could there be some deeper meaning behind this?
"It seems necessary to remind Feng Xinran and Li Zheng to keep Qi Xiaowei under close observation while I'm away, lest my house be robbed when I return!" Chen Yu thought to himself.
Seeing Chen Yu frowning and deep in thought, without giving a response for a long time, Liu Haoyu couldn't help but sigh: "Alas! It seems that I have ultimately misplaced my trust."
"What?" Chen Yu was pulled back to reality by Liu Haoyu's voice. He looked up at Liu Haoyu, a hint of apology flashing in his eyes. "I'm sorry, Mayor Liu, I was thinking about something just now."
"Hehe, I can understand." Liu Haoyu said with a bitter expression. "Yang Tiejun has armed forces and resources to support him. Plus, there's the relationship between your secretary and Yang Yue. If I were in his shoes, I would also side with Yang Tiejun."
"Mayor Liu, you've misunderstood..."
Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, Liu Haoyu interrupted him: "There's no need to say anything more. Whatever choice you make, I will have no complaints. However, I must remind you that Yang Wan is definitely not as harmless as she seems. She's just a student, and she actually became the head of the Third Resettlement Area by relying on Yang Tiejun's connections. Tell me, can someone like that be simple?"
"If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. Some time ago, I heard rumors that Yang Yue was secretly conducting human experiments in the Third District, and those subjects were innocent survivors! Tell me, what terrible future awaits Nandu if it really falls into the hands of such a person?"
Liu Haoyu looked grief-stricken and angrily denounced Yang Yue's crimes.
“Well… Mayor Liu, as far as I know, Yang Yue and her teacher Li Qing are researching ‘low-temperature hibernation technology,’ which is a benefit for the people. After all, we don’t know when this natural disaster will end, and saving resources is the only way to give most people a chance to survive,” Chen Yu explained.
To be honest, he was quite interested in this "low-temperature hibernation technology" and couldn't help but want to defend Yang Yue.
"Absurd!" Liu Haoyu slammed his fist on the table, furious. "What 'low-temperature hibernation'? This is clearly an attempt to evade responsibility!"
"When natural disasters rage, each of us should do our best and have the courage to fight against nature and the earth in order to overcome them! If everyone goes into 'low-temperature hibernation', who will save the world?"
"Mayor Liu is exaggerating a bit. Since the dawn of human civilization, every advancement in technology has been driven by a small group of elites. No matter how many ordinary people there are, it's useless! It's better to let everyone rest. This way, we can reduce food consumption, save the lives of most people, and avoid unnecessary conflicts and chaos caused by a large number of people. It's a win-win-win situation!" Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Commander Chen, you've overlooked a crucial point." Liu Haoyu's voice was low but full of strength. "What makes us humans the most intelligent beings isn't just our wisdom and technology, but also our indomitable spirit and the courage to support each other and fight together in the face of difficulties. If everyone chooses to escape and hibernate, what will we have left when the disaster is truly over? Can a society that has lost hope and vitality still be called a continuation of human civilization?"
Chen Yu smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said, "Mayor Liu, this is an extreme cold disaster. Simply shouting slogans is useless. In the face of nature, life is extremely fragile. The disaster has only lasted for less than three months, and based on what I have seen and heard along the way, nearly two-thirds of the population has already perished. If we do not take measures to conserve resources, the remaining people will not only fail to overcome the natural disaster, but they will also likely follow in the footsteps of the deceased."
“Instead of that, it would be better to put most of the population into ‘low-temperature hibernation’ and use the saved resources for researchers. That way, humanity might still have a glimmer of hope,” Chen Yu said.
