Chen Yu finally woke up around noon the day after returning to the post-apocalyptic bunker.
He glanced at the time and smiled bitterly to himself.
I thought I had things to do today, so I got up early, but I ended up sleeping until noon.
"Smack!" Chen Yu slapped Yang Yue's butt, who was still fast asleep, making a crisp sound.
"Ah~" Yang Yue let out a scream, waking up from her sleep.
"Chen Yu, what are you doing?" She sat up abruptly, looking at Chen Yu with a blank expression, her eyes still a little dazed from just waking up.
"What the hell are you doing!" Chen Yu said irritably. "In the middle of the night, instead of sleeping, you come here and cause trouble. Look at the time!"
"You're blaming me?" Yang Yue exclaimed angrily, "Who was it that went through this again last night..."
"Alright, alright, I'm too lazy to talk to you." Chen Yu interrupted Yang Yue directly, got dressed, and went to wash up.
…………
"It's still more comfortable to sleep at home!" Lin Lele said, stretching as she came out of the bedroom.
Seeing that the table was already full of delicious food, Lin Lele's eyes lit up and she immediately rushed over and reached out to grab the food.
Upon seeing this, Qiao Meng quickly slapped her hand away: "Wait, Mr. Chen Yu hasn't come out yet!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Lele smiled awkwardly and silently withdrew her hand.
"Where's Chen Yu?" Lin Lele asked Qiao Meng.
Qiao Meng pointed to Chen Yu's room.
"All you do is sleep in all day, it's outrageous!" Lin Lele complained.
Qiao Meng was speechless upon hearing this, thinking to herself, "Didn't you just get up too?"
Lin Lele looked around, puzzled. "Where did Yang Yue, who used to sleep on the sofa, go?"
Qiao Meng shook her head: "I don't know, I didn't see her when I woke up this morning."
Lin Lele frowned. This shouldn't be the case. Yang Yue wasn't even registered with the security system, so she shouldn't be able to go anywhere except the living room! How could she have disappeared into thin air?
Just as Lin Lele was wondering, Chen Yu's door opened.
Upon seeing this, Lin Lele rushed over, grabbed Chen Yu's arm, and said anxiously, "Sir, have you seen Yueyue? She seems to have disappeared!"
"What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disorganized!" Chen Yu reprimanded in a stern voice.
If Lin Lele were observant, she would have noticed that Chen Yu's expression was somewhat unnatural at this moment.
“But Yueyue disappeared. She slept in the living room last night. I didn’t even give her permission. Logically speaking, she shouldn’t have… uh…” Before Lin Lele could finish speaking, she saw Yang Yue walk out of Chen Yu’s room. She was so shocked that her mouth opened slightly and she froze on the spot.
"Ahem~" Chen Yu coughed lightly and said, "This morning, I called her to my room and we talked about some things related to biotechnology."
"Really?" Lin Lele asked suspiciously. "Then I misunderstood you. I thought you were sleeping in. I didn't expect you to be working so hard, sir."
At this point, Lin Lele scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly, after all, she was actually the last one to get up among them.
"Hehe, let's eat quickly!" Chen Yu immediately changed the subject, "I still have a lot to do today."
…………
After lunch, during their break, Chen Yu took Yang Yue to the medical center located on the 15th to 13th floors.
The medical center is equipped with the latest medical equipment and laboratory analysis instruments, providing the bunker's occupants with comprehensive medical services, from routine check-ups to emergency surgeries. It also has a biological laboratory with biological research capabilities.
"How is it? Can it meet your research needs?" Chen Yu asked Yang Yue.
Yang Yue was already amazed by the equipment and instruments provided by the medical center. Such a configuration was something only top research institutions could possess, even before the extreme cold disaster.
She looked around excitedly, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and nodded repeatedly.
"Very good." Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction. "From now on, this place is yours to use. If you need any more equipment or experimental materials, just let me know."
"I only have one request: I hope you can seize the time to devote yourself to the research and development of 'telomerase regulation technology'." Chen Yu's eyes became serious and profound.
Yang Yue hesitated and asked, "Then what about the 'low-temperature hibernation' that my teacher and I have been researching recently...?"
"Don't worry about that, just have your teacher lead the team to handle it," Chen Yu said, waving his hand.
Who doesn't want to live forever? Who doesn't want eternity?
He certainly didn't want to spend most of his life striving to save human civilization only to have someone else reap the rewards after he passed away.
Therefore, Yang Yue's "telomerase regulation technology" has become Chen Yu's top priority. If he cannot achieve immortality, everything else is meaningless!
Yang Yue nodded upon hearing this.
After adding Yang Yue to the medical center's whitelist, Chen Yu left Yang Yue to familiarize herself with the environment before leaving himself.
Before leaving, he specifically reminded Yang Yue of the five-year agreement, saying that if Yang Yue failed to produce results by then, he shouldn't blame him for turning his back on her.
Yang Yue was so angry that she stomped her feet.
It wasn't that Chen Yu was heartless; it was just that the 'telomerase regulation technology' was too important to him, so he had to put some pressure on Yang Yue.
Otherwise, Yang Yue would always say "once you've done your bidding, you don't care anymore" and make unreasonable demands. How could the work proceed under such circumstances?
…………
The elevator in the post-apocalyptic bunker descended rapidly. Chen Yu asked Lin Lele beside him, "Have Li Zheng and the others set off yet?"
“I just contacted Vice Minister Li. They have already set off and should arrive at the base by 3 p.m. at the latest,” Lin Lele replied.
"Mm." Chen Yu nodded slightly.
"Have you made arrangements for the meeting this afternoon?" Chen Yu asked again.
“I’ve already notified District Chief Li, and he’s making arrangements for it,” Lin Lele replied.
Chen Yu glared at Lin Lele and said irritably, "What district chief? You need to remember, Li Xiubo is first and foremost the chairman of the Central Committee of our 'Tianyu Base'! He is only the district chief."
"I know." Lin Lele pouted. "Chairman Li, after all."
"We should show some respect to Li Xiubo. After all, he's been the one running around and taking care of things while I was away," Chen Yu earnestly reminded him. "After all, he's nominally the second-in-command of this base."
"Oh." Lin Lele nodded awkwardly.
"Ding~" The elevator arrived at the first floor of the bunker.
Chen Yu and Lin Lele walked out of the elevator one after the other, passed through the passage, and came out from the entrance of Shibanshan Tunnel.
