Around 8 a.m., because he had gone to bed early the night before and because Chen Yu had a premonition that something big was going to happen today, he got up early.
The same was true for Lin Lele and the other two; after all, such a big thing had happened yesterday, and they were all feeling very heavy-hearted.
Lin Lele, in particular, witnessed the horrific and bloody scene firsthand. She spent the entire night replaying those shocking images, and her mind was deeply shaken.
When she closed her eyes, the wails, the blood, and the desperate gazes seemed to be right in her ears and before her eyes, making it hard for her to fall asleep.
After breakfast, seeing that the others still looked preoccupied, Chen Yu smiled wryly.
His behavior yesterday was indeed a bit excessive, and it's understandable that they couldn't process it right away.
His actions will become even more extreme next, and if they are forced to confront him again, it may cause them to have a mental breakdown.
To avoid further distress for the three, and also to allow them to release their pent-up emotions and anxieties, he decided not to assign them any work today.
He took the three of them directly to the entertainment center on the eighth floor of the bunker so they could relax.
The entertainment center in the post-apocalyptic bunker is designed to alleviate the psychological stress of residents living in a tense and oppressive environment.
This place is not only fully equipped, but also full of technological and humanistic care, making people feel as if they are in a world completely different from the outside world.
Upon entering the entertainment center, Lin Lele and her two companions were immediately captivated by the scene before them. Soft lighting bathed the entire space, and melodious music flowed gently in the air, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere. They were first drawn to a huge interactive screen, which was displaying beautiful scenery from all over the world, from the neon lights of bustling cities to the idyllic landscapes of tranquil villages, each frame breathtakingly beautiful.
"Come on, try this." Chen Yu smiled and invited them to the screen, indicating that they could control the screen's display with gestures. Lin Lele and the other two excitedly reached out, and as they moved, the images on the screen changed accordingly, as if they were personally traveling the world. This novel experience allowed them to temporarily forget the gloom of yesterday, and long-lost smiles returned to their faces.
Next, they went to the VR experience area. Putting on the special helmets, they were instantly transported into a series of virtual worlds.
There, they can be brave explorers, traversing dense rainforests in search of treasure; or they can be free dancers, showcasing their talents on a dazzling stage.
Each virtual trip brought them immense release and satisfaction.
Chen Yu played with them for a while when suddenly his smartwatch vibrated.
Chen Yu saw that it was an alarm notification.
He didn't make a fuss, made up an excuse, and pulled Lin Lele away from the entertainment center.
Although he didn't explain the situation to Yang Yue and Qiao Meng, they were smart enough to guess Chen Yu's good intentions.
Both of them understood this implicitly and didn't say anything more.
Lin Lele, who was pulled away by Chen Yu, looked sullen. She was having a great time when she was suddenly interrupted, so she was naturally a little unhappy.
"Go to the operations command center and wait there. I'll let you know when I need you," Chen Yu instructed Lin Lele.
Lin Lele looked horrified upon hearing this: "Someone's causing trouble again?"
Chen Yu nodded upon hearing this, and said earnestly, "You are my most capable assistant. I hope that no matter what happens, you will remain absolutely calm and rational. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Lele felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this. She knew that Chen Yu would likely go on a killing spree, and she would not be able to escape unscathed either.
She was so frustrated. Why could Qiao Meng and Yang Yue play games in the entertainment center without paying attention to what was going on, while she had to face the killing head-on?
However, the thought that Chen Yu had called her his "most capable assistant" made her feel much better.
She took a deep breath, looked firmly at Chen Yu, and nodded, indicating that she was ready to face the upcoming challenges.
Chen Yu patted Lin Lele on the shoulder to show encouragement and trust, then boarded a mini balance scooter and quickly drove towards the viewing platform.
At this moment, a huge crowd had gathered at the foot of Shiban Mountain. At a glance, there were more than 10 times more people than yesterday, at least 40,000, and people were still arriving from all parts of the base.
Chen Yu stood in front of the bulletproof glass curtain wall on the observation deck, turned on the "panoramic mode", and the bulletproof glass instantly became transparent inside and out.
He stared at the sea of people below, his face showing little emotion. After all, he had already anticipated this scene when he activated the post-apocalyptic bunker defense system yesterday.
However, the large number of people who came to the gathering today was somewhat beyond his expectations.
After all, although Tianyu Base has a population of over 700,000, after deducting the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, it is at most only over 500,000.
In less than a day, so many people have openly expressed their opposition to him, which shows that the internal contradictions and differences within the "Tianyu Base" have become very acute.
The crowd below, upon seeing Chen Yu above, immediately became agitated.
"Commander, why did you do this? Do you think our lives are so worthless?"
"What commander? He's a demon! Over 3,000 living people, he killed them without hesitation, without the slightest mercy. Who knows if one day we'll be slaughtered by him for no reason, just like them?"
"Yes, Chen Yu, you are not fit to be the leader of the base. Step down!"
"Chen Yu, you must give us an explanation for this!"
"A life for a life! This demon has killed so many people, he deserves to go to hell!"
…………
The crowd was filled with righteous indignation, and their angry roars surged like a tidal wave, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Faced with this scene, Chen Yu's expression did not change much. He stared intently at the boiling crowd below and found that Xu Long and the others were not present today, which made him somewhat disappointed. He had originally planned to kill those behind-the-scenes commanders first.
After witnessing Chen Yu's iron-fisted methods yesterday, they dared not show their faces easily today.
Chen Yu sneered inwardly. A group of people who only dared to cause trouble from behind the scenes would never amount to anything.
Chen Yu did not immediately respond to the angry roars of the people below.
As the number of people heading towards the foot of Shiban Mountain gradually decreased, exceeding 60,000, he slowly spoke: "I reiterate, 'Tianyu Base' is my base, Chen Yu's base. If you are dissatisfied with my base, you are free to leave at any time! And the area within 1 kilometer of the Shiban Mountain tunnel entrance is my private territory. Anyone who enters without my authorization has the right to be shot!"
