Having been reborn once, Chen Yu values his life immensely, especially now that he has everything he could ever want, making him cherish his life even more.
Knowing that the Zhongyang Garrison Command possessed H-weapons and could fire them at any time, he could no longer remain calm.
Even this sturdy post-apocalyptic bunker couldn't make him feel safe. Going to Kyoto to seek relief from the threat was one thing, but another was that a wise man doesn't stand under a crumbling wall. He wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, lest someone in the security zone who controlled the H-bomb launch authority lose their temper and fire a shot over his head.
After learning about the Zhongyang Garrison Command, Qiao Meng and Yang Yue felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
However, despite Chen Yu's repeated pleas, they ultimately chose to stay. Firstly, they felt that they wouldn't be of much help if they went out, and might even implicate Chen Yu. Secondly, they feared that if they left with Chen Yu, Tianyu Base would lose control again, and staying at the base to guard it would provide a stabilizing force for the overall situation.
Seeing this, Chen Yu had no choice but to give up.
Next, Chen Yu made the two of them stop everything they were doing and spent the whole day with them.
This day was a rare moment of peace and warmth for Chen Yu, Qiao Meng, and Yang Yue.
The next day, at the crack of dawn, Chen Yu and Lin Lele rode in a powerful sled, leading a small team of militiamen, and left Tianyu Base ahead of others.
To avoid being too large a target and thus suffering setbacks, Chen Yu arranged for the main force of the "Cold Relief Militia Corps" to depart three hours later.
The sled sped across the snowfield, its lights shining on the vast snow curtain ahead, forming dazzling beams that pierced the darkness before dawn.
Chen Yu and Lin Lele sat in the back row, while the sled was driven by an excellent militiaman.
Chen Yu fell into a deep sleep shortly after getting into the car; he was exhausted after tossing and turning all night.
Soon, the convoy passed a large base, which was the Red Sky Alliance established by Li Xiubai and his people.
Even from a distance, the faint sound of a chorus coming from the Red Sky Alliance base woke Chen Yu up.
"The Red Sky Alliance is good, the Red Sky Alliance is good. Everyone in the Red Sky Alliance base has a high status. The Tianyu base has been defeated, and Chen Yu ran away with his tail between his legs..."
…………
"A bunch of lunatics," Lin Lele muttered. "So early in the morning, you're really just bored and have nothing better to do! Let's see if you'll still have the energy to sing these songs when the food runs out."
Chen Yu was also somewhat displeased. No one would be happy to be woken up while sleeping soundly, and hearing the words "Chen Yu ran away with his tail between his legs" was even more grating.
It was as if it were fitting for his current situation.
"Sir, before we leave, how about we let our militiamen deal with them?" Lin Lele suggested to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu pondered for a moment, then waved his hand: "Forget it, they're just a bunch of rabble, no need to bother with them."
The sled convoy sped away, and the loud singing from the Red Sky Alliance base gradually faded away, disappearing into the biting cold wind.
This time, Chen Yu's destination was clear: Kyoto.
If the threat of H-bombs is not eliminated, then all other efforts will be in vain.
Kyoto is the political center of the Great Xia Dynasty and the seat of its rulers. Chen Yu believes that as long as the rulers of the Great Xia Dynasty are found and reasoned with them, the threat of the H-bomb can definitely be resolved.
However, precisely because of Kyoto's special nature, Chen Yu knew that it possessed an absolutely powerful armed defense force at all times. That's why he brought all 50,000 soldiers of the "Cold Relief Militia Corps" with him to ensure that no misunderstandings would occur between the two sides.
As for the defense of Tianyu Base, Chen Yu was not worried. Under the security department ruled by Feng Xinran, there was also a security force of 8,000 people, which was enough to deal with all conventional threats.
Of course, Chen Yu did not put all his eggs in one basket. In addition to going to Kyoto to find people, Chen Yu also commissioned several top scientists at Tianyu Base to secretly develop a defense system to deal with the possible threat of H-bombs.
This journey northward covered nearly 2,000 kilometers. If he had flown, he could have arrived in just one or two hours, but Chen Yu did not do so.
More than seven months have passed since the extreme cold disaster struck. Tianyu Base is developing, and other forces are also growing stronger.
Although local troops across the country had withdrawn in advance, they still left behind a lot of valuable items. If they were to fly a plane and it got shot down, they would suffer a huge loss.
Chen Yu knew that in this chaotic era, air routes were not safe, especially under the influence of extreme cold and natural disasters. Radar and air defense systems in many areas may have failed or been damaged, but that did not mean that no force could threaten targets in the air.
Compared to taking the air route, he still felt more at ease being on solid ground.
Moreover, he also had to lead his "anti-cold disaster relief militia corps," and he didn't have enough planes to transport troops.
Therefore, he chose the more secure method of traveling on the ground.
On his way north, when he passed through Xidu, Chen Yu made a special trip to inspect the Xidu base of Tianyu Base. It was developing quite well, which made him feel somewhat gratified.
At this moment, he was somewhat glad that he had made the decision to develop a branch base. In case the Zhongyang base was destroyed, he would at least have other alternative strongholds.
After giving a brief speech of encouragement to the senior executives of the Xidu branch base, he led the convoy on another journey north.
As the convoy ventured deeper into the north, the temperature grew increasingly cold, and the landscape became increasingly desolate.
Everywhere you look, you can see corpses that have frozen or starved to death, as well as buildings collapsed under the weight of snow, all of which demonstrate the cruelty and ruthlessness brought about by the extreme cold disaster.
However, Chen Yu did not let his guard down. He knew that the human will to survive and adaptability were limitless. There were grain reserves all over the country, and one grain reserve was enough to feed many people and give rise to a sizable armed force.
To avoid trouble, Chen Yu always tries to avoid places that look like they might be inhabited or have been important facilities in the past.
His convoy traveled along a relatively secluded and safe route, minimizing direct contact with unknown forces.
However, despite their caution, they encountered trouble while traversing a city that appeared completely deserted.
This was his fourth day since departing from Tianyu Base. After a long journey, he was now less than 300 kilometers away from Kyoto.
Thanks to scouts and photos transmitted by the Sky Eye reconnaissance satellite, Chen Yu became careless and led his team deep into the city.
The city is called Stone City, and it is a large city. However, because there is a giant granary in the city, and there seems to be no one in the city, Chen Yu thought about going in to pick up some cheap food. Although he has nearly 20 million tons of food in his other dimension, this is the apocalypse after all, and who would complain about having too much food?
But unexpectedly, this trip to the city almost caused him a great loss.
