"You mean...?" Feng Xinran's voice trembled slightly, "How is that possible?"
"Why is it impossible? The branch of the Academy of Engineering is dedicated to researching those things. If our garrison doesn't even have those things, how can we talk about protecting them?" Feng Zhengyang said calmly.
“But…you can’t possibly have the authority to launch!” Feng Xinran asked suspiciously.
“I didn’t have that before, but when I received the secret order, I was given all the weapon firing permissions for the garrison.” Feng Zhengyang’s tone was heavy with a sense of helplessness. He knew how heavy the power he held was, and he understood the responsibility behind that power.
Feng Xinran took a deep breath and said, "Whether to launch or not is entirely up to you. You have other options. As long as it's for the future of humanity, why care about the affiliation of the Engineering Academy's branch?"
“In our garrison, more than one person received that secret order, and more than one person has the authority to fire weapons. Even if I don’t do it, I can’t stop others,” Feng Zhengyang said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xinran's expression changed drastically; she realized that things were far more complicated than she had imagined.
She clenched her fists, trying to keep her voice steady: "I understand, I will pass on what you said to Chen Yu."
"Hmm." Feng Zhengyang nodded and said in a deep voice, "Remember, if Chen Yu remains obstinate, leave this place of trouble as soon as possible."
Feng Xinran took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
Feng Zhengyang sighed, gave Feng Xinran a deep look, and then turned and left.
…………
"What? The Zhongyang Garrison Command actually has something like that?" Upon hearing Feng Xinran's report, Chen Yu's expression instantly turned serious, his brows furrowed, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
He paced back and forth, seemingly trying to process the sudden news.
"That's it. No wonder the Zhongyang region was so special in my previous life. It was so unassuming and no force dared to provoke it. So that's the key to the problem." Chen Yu thought to himself.
"Chen Yu, what should we do now?" Feng Xinran's voice was filled with anxiety and unease as she stared intently at Chen Yu, hoping to get an answer from him.
Chen Yu stopped and gazed intently out the window, as if contemplating some important decision.
After a moment, he turned around, sighed, and said to Feng Xinran, "In that case, let's put the merger of the engineering institute branches on hold for now!"
Feng Xinran nodded slightly upon hearing this, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, Lin Lele and I will be going out for a while, which might be quite a while, so I'll leave the house to you," Chen Yu said in a deep voice.
"I will definitely protect the base." Feng Xinran said firmly, her eyes shining with an unwavering determination.
She didn't ask Chen Yu what he was going out to do. She believed that there must be a well-thought-out reason behind Chen Yu's decision.
"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing." Chen Yu nodded.
After Feng Xinran left, he quickly climbed onto the helicopter and fled back to the post-apocalyptic bunker.
Only after entering the post-apocalyptic bunker did he feel a little more at ease.

Qiao Meng had a rare day off today and planned to cook a delicious meal for everyone, but she unexpectedly bumped into Chen Yu, who looked hurried, at the kitchen door.
Qiao Meng was taken aback for a moment, then asked with concern, "Mr. Chen Yu, what's wrong? You look preoccupied."
Chen Yu stopped and forced a smile, not wanting Qiao Meng to worry too much.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about some things."
Chen Yu gently patted Qiao Meng's shoulder to indicate that he was alright, then pulled her aside and said softly, "Qiao, do you want to go back to Kyoto?"
"Kyoto?" Qiao Meng's eyes lit up. "You mean...?"
“That’s right, go pack your things, we’re leaving tomorrow,” Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Ah~?" Qiao Meng covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes filled with excitement.
However, she quickly thought of something and hesitated.
Chen Yu immediately saw her concerns and comforted her, saying, "The base is thriving now, so you can leave the things you need to do to the people below."
"But what if the same problem happens again after we leave?" Qiao Meng was still a little worried.
"No way," Chen Yu waved his hand dismissively.
Just then, Lin Lele stormed in angrily: "Sir, I've already convinced those old guys at the Academy of Engineering, why are you suddenly halting the operation?"
"You've come at the right time. Pass the word down: the entire army is to prepare to assemble. We'll depart with you tomorrow!" Chen Yu said, turning to Lin Lele.
"All of them?" Lin Lele's eyes widened. "I don't think it's necessary. Just give me a little more time, and the Engineering Academy branch will cooperate with us."
"What are you saying?" Chen Yu said irritably. "With the extreme cold disaster raging and many of our compatriots across the country still living in dire straits, we cannot sit idly by! We should go and save more of our compatriots!"
Lin Lele breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; she had thought Chen Yu was preparing to attack the Zhongyang Garrison.
“But we don’t need to bring so many people at once! If we take all the militiamen away, won’t the base’s defenses be weakened?” Lin Lele expressed her concerns, her brows furrowed.
"It's alright, we also have Minister Feng's security forces," Chen Yu said calmly.
"Uh... fine, you're the boss, whatever you say goes." Lin Lele stopped dwelling on the matter and turned to leave to arrange her work.
"Yueyue, you've come at the right time. Come with us too," Chen Yu said when he saw Yang Yue standing at the door.
"Me? I still have experiments to do." Yang Yue said, puzzled. "Besides, I wouldn't be of any help if I went out with you."
“Yueyue is right, Mr. Chen Yu, we’d better not go with you. We need to help you take care of the house.” Qiao Meng said solemnly, “If it’s convenient for you to go to Kyoto this time, my parents will have to trouble you again.”
Seeing that the two insisted, Chen Yu smiled wryly and had no choice but to tell them the truth.
Both men were shocked to hear this. How could a small garrison area have more than one person capable of independently launching H-bombs? Currently, due to the matter at the Engineering Academy branch, there are already some conflicts between Tianyu Base and the garrison area. If this gets out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Therefore, we need to go to Kyoto as soon as possible, find the highest leadership, and revoke their H-bomb launch authority!" Chen Yu said with a solemn expression.
