"I reiterate, 'Tianyu Base' is my base, Chen Yu's base. If you are not satisfied with my base, you are free to leave at any time! And the area within 1 kilometer of the entrance to Shiban Mountain Tunnel is my private territory. Anyone who enters without my permission has the right to be shot!" Chen Yu's voice clearly echoed throughout the foot of the mountain through the loudspeaker. His tone was calm and firm, yet carried an unquestionable authority.
"In other words, I can kill you all at any time right now." His words were like a cold wind, piercing through the clamor of the crowd and instantly silencing the once-boiling scene, leaving only the howling wind and the occasional low murmurs.
Chen Yu looked down at the crowd and then said, "However, Heaven cherishes life, and I am a soft-hearted person. I can still give you a chance to leave, and I will not pursue this matter any further."
"Chen Yu, what gives you the right? What makes you so arrogant? You should know that 'Tianyu Base' has organized branches. Aren't you afraid of being purged in the future?" someone said indignantly.
"Heh." Chen Yu sneered, "With my firepower! And the fact that you all still need me for food and supplies!"
His words carried an undeniable confidence and power, as if the fate of the entire base was in his own hands.
"You eat my food, use my resources, yet you show no gratitude and even question my authority, constantly referring to the organization, but you've forgotten who protects your peace," Chen Yu said coldly. "I'm telling you clearly, in the 'Tianyu Base,' I am the law, I am the heavens. If you want to enjoy the protection of the 'Tianyu Base,' then you should unconditionally obey me! This is true now, and it will always be true in the future!"
"A dictator! Chen Yu is a dictator!"
"Chen Yu, do you want to become emperor and act against the natural order?" someone asked angrily.
Chen Yu laughed upon hearing this: "If that's how you interpret it, then so be it."
"This is rebellion! Chen Yu, this is treason!"
"Chen Yu, don't forget, you are only the highest commander of the 'Tianyu Base'. Above you is the secretary of the organization's branch!"
Just then, a sled sped towards us from a distance.
It quickly came to a steady stop behind the crowd of people, amidst their astonished and suspicious gazes.
A dashing woman stepped off the car and jumped onto its roof.
Holding up a stack of documents, she shouted, "I am Feng Xinran. Just now, the Organization Branch has approved my resignation and elected Chen Yu as the new secretary of the Organization Branch!"
These words caused an uproar among the crowd.
"Impossible! I'm also a member of the organization, how come I didn't know about this?" someone in the crowd questioned.
"More than 70% of the participants attended the meeting just now, and the decision to appoint Chen Yu as secretary was unanimously approved. The absence of the remaining organization members does not affect the outcome," Feng Xinran said calmly.
"Impossible! I know almost all the other members of the organization in the base. They would never choose Chen Yu!" A middle-aged man with gray hair retorted excitedly, his eyes full of disbelief.
Feng Xinran remained calm and simply opened the document in her hand to show it to everyone.
Those who had raised doubts quickly pushed their way through.
Fortunately, they were already at the back of the crowd and soon saw the documents in Feng Xinran's hands up close.
The first name on the list of attendees was Lin Hong, the Minister of Science and Technology Development, and those following him were all renowned scientists of the Great Xia Dynasty.
There are also many names they are not familiar with.
"Are they people from the mountains?" The gray-haired man frowned.
"What? Can't people on the mountain hold meetings?" Feng Xinran asked with a mocking expression.
"They weren't even present when the branch was established that day. Strictly speaking, they weren't members of my organization's 'Tianyu Base' branch!" the gray-haired man retorted.
"Hehe~" Feng Xinran sneered, "What a joke! The organization on the mountain has more than 2000 members, while down the mountain, there are only a little over 2,000 in total. If a branch of the organization is to be established, it should be based on the mountain!"
"You...you're just making excuses!" the gray-haired man retorted angrily. "My organization, the 'Tianyu Base' branch, was established by Director Xu at the behest of the municipal government, with the aim of maintaining order within the base and ensuring the safety and interests of all members. The fact that there are many members on the mountain does not give them a reason to unilaterally decide the leader of the branch down the mountain!"
"Is the municipal government bigger or the science and technology institute?" Feng Xinran asked casually.
“This…” The gray-haired man was speechless.
The leaders of Zhongyang City's government office are only at the department level, while the leaders of the Academy of Sciences are at the ministerial level. In this power structure, the Academy of Sciences is indeed of a higher rank than the city government office.
"Haha~!" Chen Yu's laughter came from above. "Now, what do you have to say? In every respect, in 'Tianyu Base,' I am the rule, I am the order!"
"Chen Yu, don't be so arrogant! Your massacre of the masses is a fact, and you must be punished!" The gray-haired man's voice was filled with anger and resentment.
“Special times call for special measures,” Chen Yu said calmly. “Whether I am guilty or not is a matter for the organization to decide, not for you instigators to decide.”
"Go back. I'll pretend nothing happened today."
Upon hearing this, the crowd exchanged bewildered glances, and many began to have second thoughts.
"Don't listen to him!" someone shouted. "Chen Yu is ruthless and vindictive; he'll definitely settle scores with us later!"
"Don't forget, his lair is full of countless supplies! Once we break in, we'll never have to depend on anyone again!" The man continued to incite emotions, his eyes gleaming with greed and resentment.
"That's right! Chen Yu can't control everything! As long as we unite, he's just a paper tiger!"
The crowd erupted in another fierce roar.
Of course, some people saw the current situation clearly and chose to leave.
Following Chen Yu's instructions, Feng Xinran quickly left in a sled.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Brothers, charge with me!"
As soon as the words were spoken, nearly one-tenth of the nearly 50,000 people who remained responded immediately and rushed toward the entrance of the Shibanshan Tunnel.
The more than 40,000 people who were still hesitating were unaware of the situation. Some were swept forward, while others wanted to retreat, but there was no space behind them. Instead, they were drawn into the crowd by the increasing number of people rushing forward.
Chen Yu was somewhat bewildered by this.
However, he did not panic. He calmly opened the firing port of the bunker's frontal defense system, and the gun barrels extended out of the firing port.
"Da da da da da~"
One after another, fiery dragons relentlessly crushed the crowd below.
