At this moment, Chen Yu's expression was also solemn.
The Chief of the Great Xia Dynasty, one of the most powerful people on the entire planet Blue Star, disappeared along with a group of high-ranking officials before the apocalypse.
The sightings of missing troops in various locations sent a chill down his spine.
In his previous life, he lived for three years in a post-apocalyptic world where various factions were divided and all sorts of inhumane things happened everywhere.
At that time, as a surviving animal in a base, he lived in the dual torment of suffering and numbness every day, and didn't think too much about it.
Looking back now, it seems a bit unbelievable.
Although this extreme cold disaster came so suddenly that even the authorities had no time to react, it plunged the entire country and even the whole planet into chaos.
However, this is just an extreme cold disaster. Although it will cause serious damage to Earth, it is not enough to plunge the entire planet into chaos.
If ordinary people who are lucky enough to survive can establish a survivor base, wouldn't it be an easy task for the authorities?
With the leadership of the nation, not to mention other countries, a country like Great Xia, with its strong organizational capabilities and profound heritage, should be able to stabilize the situation in the country quickly, and even guide the world to jointly resist this natural disaster.
However, the reality was that Chen Yu survived for three years in the extremely cold apocalypse, while the whole country and even the entire planet Blue Star were in chaos for three years, and that chaos was getting worse and worse, leaving people with no hope at all.
This is simply illogical.
In this lifetime, he learned that armies from various places had collectively disappeared, and even the chief of the Great Xia Dynasty and others had vanished.
In this way, everything in the previous life's extreme cold and apocalypse can be explained.
However, the mystery behind this is even more perplexing and chilling.
"In my previous life, countless people on the entire planet died in the extreme cold of the apocalypse. Why am I the one who was reborn? No, to put it another way, why am I the one who retained my memories? Why did the other dimension parasitize me? What is the connection between all this and the missing chief and the army? Who is manipulating all of this behind the scenes?" The questions in Chen Yu's mind were like endless fog, layer upon layer, making him almost suffocate.
He realized that perhaps the extreme cold disaster was not the real problem he was facing; the unknown manipulating everything behind the scenes was the biggest trouble for him and even the entire planet.
Just then, Lin Lele's voice rang out in the room, pulling Chen Yu back to reality from his deep thoughts.
"Since the Chief Executive and all the senior executives have disappeared, why hasn't Qin Zhen disappeared? Doesn't this prove that the Chief Executive and the others' disappearance is related to Qin Zhen?" Lin Lele questioned Li Deze.
Lin Lele's questioning was not without reason. If it was aimed at the higher-ups, then why was Qin Zhen, who was second only to the chief in the court, not affected?
As for the military units, not all of them went missing. For example, the Zhongyang Garrison and the Kyoto Imperial Guard remained at their posts and were not affected by the disappearances.
“Young lady, I once had the same doubts as you, and I can tell you that not all the high-ranking officials disappeared, and Qin Zhen was not the only one who did not disappear before the natural disaster. In fact, there are quite a few other high-ranking officials who firmly support Qin Zhen who have not left their posts.” Li Deze said in a deep voice, “It is precisely because of this that I once suspected that all of this was a scheme set up by Qin Zhen and others.”
"But as time went on, I gradually discovered that things were far more complicated than I had imagined."
At this point, Li Deze took a deep breath and looked at Chen Yu: "Mr. Chen, may we talk alone?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu nodded in agreement without much hesitation.
Next, Li Deze walked to a bookshelf, fiddled with it for a bit, and the bookshelf slowly pushed open to the sides, revealing a titanium alloy door behind it.
Amidst the shocked gazes of those present, the titanium alloy door slowly opened, revealing a secret passage leading underground.
“Mr. Chen, please.” Li Deze gestured for him to enter.
Chen Yu took a deep breath, turned to Lin Lele and the others and said, "I'll be right back. You guys wait for me here and be careful."
After saying that, he took a firm step and followed Li Deze into the underground passage filled with unknowns and secrets.
The light inside the passage was soft, but the air was filled with a tense and mysterious atmosphere.
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding walls gradually thickened, seemingly isolating them from all the noise and danger of the outside world.
Before long, led by Li Deze, Chen Yu arrived at a suite located in the basement.
This is clearly a safe house.
Inside the room, a refined-looking man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sat at a desk, seemingly looking at some documents.
Upon seeing Chen Yu arrive, the refined man put down the documents in his hand, stood up, and smiled at Chen Yu, saying, "Mr. Chen, we've finally met."
Chen Yu frowned upon seeing this. He didn't recognize the man in front of him at all, and judging from the man's words, he had been waiting for him for a long time.
"This is Zhou Bin, the chief's first secretary," Li Deze introduced.
Chen Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. No wonder this person looked somewhat familiar; it turned out to be the chief secretary. Such a person was definitely a powerful figure in the Great Xia Dynasty, capable of influencing national policy-making.
He didn't hesitate, strode forward, and greeted him, "Secretary Zhou, hello."
Zhou Bin glanced at Li Deze, who understood and smiled, "You two, you can chat, I won't disturb you."
With that, he turned and left the safe house.
After watching Li Deze leave, Zhou Bin smiled at Chen Yu and said, "Mr. Chen, you've kept me waiting! I thought you weren't coming to Kyoto!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu smiled awkwardly, unsure of how to respond.
Although he is a rising star in the Great Xia Dynasty and has a certain reputation in the Great Xia and even the entire Blue Star, it is not enough to attract the attention of someone like Zhou Bin, right? And to wait for him specifically, isn't that ridiculous?
Chen Yu was skeptical of Zhou Bin's words.
"I think Principal Li has already told you about the chief's disappearance, right?" Zhou Bin asked.
Chen Yu nodded solemnly.
“Mr. Chen, what I really want to tell you is that the Chief had already foreseen his disappearance. It was his intention to have me wait for you here,” Zhou Bin said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu's face immediately turned horrified. How could this be?
