It was already late at night when I left Beisheng Residential Area.
"Mr. Chen, a room has been booked for you. Shall we go to the hotel now?" Li Zheng asked.
The addition of Shen Zhong, a leading expert in geothermal energy, relieved Chen Yu's anxiety and eased his stress.
Looking at the dazzling lights along the riverbank and feeling the gentle breeze on his face, Chen Yu was filled with excitement.
He said to Li Zhengdao, "No need for now, come with me for a walk along the river."
Li Zheng and the others looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this.
For a nationally renowned super-rich man like Chen Yu, strolling the streets late at night is undoubtedly extremely dangerous.
This is quite a challenge for these security personnel.
However, Chen Yu was their employer, so they couldn't say anything and could only silently follow behind him.
Their eyes, like those of an eagle, vigilantly observe everything around them, ensuring that any hidden dangers are nipped in the bud.
However, Chen Yu seemed indifferent to his surroundings.
He strolled leisurely, occasionally stopping to admire the night view of the riverbank.
Gazing at the countless lights that were going out one after another on both sides of the riverbank, Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity! All the beauty in this world is fleeting."
Hearing Chen Yu's remark, Li Zheng said, "Mr. Chen, it's late, and many people have already gone to bed. If you want to see the night view of the Yangtze River, just come earlier tomorrow evening."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu gently shook his head. Perhaps in Li Zheng's view, Chen Yu was lamenting the lights that had been extinguished on both sides of the strait.
Actually, that's not the case. He was lamenting the impending apocalyptic cold of the future that all of human civilization was about to face.
There are less than 15 months left until the extreme cold and apocalypse.
After the apocalypse, nights as peaceful and radiant as they once were will become a luxury for all living beings.
The saddest thing in the world is that Chen Yuming knew the end times were coming, but he couldn't tell anyone.
All he could do was try his best to establish a base that could preserve the spark of human civilization before the end of the world.
Just as Chen Yu was feeling sentimental, a bodyguard behind him suddenly exclaimed, "Someone jumped into the river ahead!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu looked in the direction the bodyguard pointed.
Sure enough, not far from where Chen Yu's gaze fell was the Baqing Dajiang Bridge.
A figure stood outside the bridge railing, clinging to it with both hands, seemingly about to fall.
It seemed as if it could fall into the surging river at any moment.
Chen Yu frowned upon seeing this. Without much hesitation, he jogged a few steps back and arrived at his personal vehicle that was following behind him.
Then he yanked open the passenger door of his personal vehicle and got in.
Then he instructed the driver, Zhang Quanmin, "Quick! Go to the spot where the person jumped into the river!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Quanmin immediately stepped on the gas, and the vehicle shot towards the bridge like an arrow.
The other bodyguards also got into their cars and quickly followed.
They are all from military backgrounds and possess keen ability to respond to emergencies and excellent teamwork.
Outside the car window, the night wind howled.
The car headlights drew a bright path in the darkness, guiding them quickly to the Baqing Dajiang Bridge.
In less than a minute, the group arrived at the scene.
He then quickly got out of the car and rushed towards the swaying man.
As they approached the man who had jumped into the river, Chen Yu cautiously called out, "Young man, don't be impulsive! If you encounter any difficulties, we can help you!"
The man turned to look at Chen Yu, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness, and said with a bitter smile, "Forget it! No one can help me... But I still want to thank you for your kindness!"
After speaking, the man calmly released his hands and jumped into the river.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yu's heart tightened, and he immediately said to the bodyguard beside him, "Quick, prepare for rescue!"
“Old Ma and Old Lin are already putting on the equipment,” Li Zhengdao said.
"How much longer?" Chen Yu asked.
"Two minutes at most!" Li Zheng replied.
Chen Yu frowned upon hearing this. The river was so turbulent that in two minutes, people would probably be swept away to who knows where.
“Mr. Chen, let me go save people first! During my service in the army, I won first place in the military region swimming competition for three consecutive years!” said Shen Zhan, the deputy captain of the bodyguard team.
Hearing Shen Zhan say this, Chen Yu did not refuse, and said solemnly, "Be careful, your own safety is the priority."
Shen Zhan nodded, took out his electronic devices from his bag, and then jumped over the railing.
Looking at the rolling waves on the river, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
At the same time, Ma Zhiyong and Lin Hao also put on their professional diving equipment.
However, they did not rush to go into the water, but instead drove off the Baqing Dajiang Bridge.
After driving downstream for several hundred meters, they finally towed a simple inflatable assault boat off the vehicle and launched it into the water.
The assault boat sliced through the water and sped toward the location of the sunken warriors and those who had jumped into the river.
Although the river was dark at night, the lights on the speedboats shone like beacons, illuminating the waters ahead.
The figure submerged in the water was agile and swift.
With his excellent swimming skills honed in the military and his strong physique, he quickly approached the person jumping into the river.
However, the person who jumped into the river seemed to have lost the will to live.
He let the river water wash over his body, no longer struggling.
Shen Zhan's heart tightened upon witnessing this.
He knew time was of the essence and he had to bring the person who jumped into the river back to shore as soon as possible.
He swam with all his might to the person who had jumped into the river and grabbed his arm.
The man who jumped into the river was slightly taken aback, seemingly moved by Shen Zhan's actions.
