In his previous life, he was powerless and had no influence. During the three years of the apocalypse, he worked as a slave in that inhumane Fire Seed Base, living a life worse than a dog.
During his three years at the Fire Seed Base, he witnessed the darkest side of humanity.
There, the strong bully the weak, the weak are ruthlessly trampled on, dignity and life are as worthless as grass, and can be lost at any time in the cruel reality. Even a mutilated body may become food for others.
They claim to be preserving the flame of humanity, yet they engage in acts more cruel than those of wild beasts.
The leaders of the Fire Seed Base, those who wield power, claim to be working for the continuation of human civilization, but in reality, they use the resources at their disposal to raise people like livestock, simply to satisfy their own selfish desires and ambitions.
At that time, Chen Yu, like other low-level members of the base, was forced to do heavy labor every day, but all he received was a meager amount of food to barely keep him alive.
Meanwhile, those so-called "upper-class people" do nothing every day but live a life of luxury and decadence.
Their tables were laden with delicacies, and their warehouses were overflowing with food and supplies.
These resources were dug out shovel by shovel from the thick snow by the members of their grassroots base in the extreme cold. They were also snatched from other forces and even from survivors scattered in various places at the risk of their lives. Every grain of food was soaked with the blood, sweat and tears of the people at the bottom.
At that time, due to various reasons, Chen Yu did not join the armed forces of the Fire Seed Base, but was assigned to the lowest level and engaged in the most arduous labor.
This gave him the opportunity to observe firsthand the various injustices and cruelties within the Fire Seed Base.
Every day, they do tasks such as snow removal and transportation. In that environment of minus 70 degrees Celsius, everything depends on manpower.
They get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs every day. After working so hard, they can't even guarantee their most basic food and clothing.
Looking back now, he doesn't know how he managed to persevere through those three years.
Of course, if that were all, it wouldn't be enough to make him hate the Fire Seed Base so much. After all, although he was tired and suffered a lot back then, he could at least barely survive, right?
Compared to those outside the Fire Seed Base, he was quite lucky.
The people he met outside the Fire Seed Base lived a truly hellish existence.
Because the Spark Base monopolized the mining of all resources, those outside the Spark Base had no way to obtain resources.
If you want to survive, there is only one choice—cannibalism.
In that extremely cold and apocalyptic world, the dark side of humanity was magnified infinitely, and the world outside the Fire Seed Base seemed to have become a living hell.
Chen Yu had witnessed firsthand how people driven to despair by hunger fought each other in the cold wind, just to grab a piece of frozen bread or a lifeless corpse.
Reason had vanished from their eyes; only the desire to survive and the fear of death remained.
They might even hunt their own kind directly, just like wild animals, without any moral or legal constraints.
Whenever Chen Yu recalls these scenes, an indescribable anger and grief wells up in his heart.
He knew all too well that the root of all this lay in the atrocities and greed of the Fire Seed Base.
They not only monopolize resources, but also use various means, such as brainwashing, intimidation, and violence, to firmly control people in their hands.
They are like a group of vampires, ruthlessly sucking the blood, sweat, and lives of the people at the bottom of society.
Chen Yu, who was barely surviving at the Spark Base, was eventually eliminated by the base's managers three years later due to overwork and illness.
At the behest of the base's higher-ups, he was thrown alive into the incinerator by the base's "human resources" department, becoming fuel for the base. He was squeezed dry of his last drop of value, and in excruciating pain, he ended his tragic life.
However, fate was kind to him, allowing him to be reborn with a different dimension.
Now, under his management, his Tianyu Base has grown to a considerable size, and it's time to settle old scores.
In his previous life, the Fire Seed Base was a behemoth, but compared to his current Tianyu Base, it was nothing more than a slightly larger ant, which he could crush with a flick of his wrist.
With just a few tens of thousands of militiamen, the Fire Seed Base would be reduced to ashes under his wrath.
But if that's all, how can it possibly quell his anger?
He wanted to make the rulers of the Fireseed Base experience firsthand the pain they inflicted on people in a more extreme way, and make them pay an irreparable price for their crimes.
The Fire Seed Base is actually not far from the Tianyu Base headquarters, only about 100 kilometers away.
However, due to the extreme cold disaster, the entire planet Blue Star, except for Chen Yu, lost its ability to communicate remotely, making the transmission of information between the two places extremely difficult.
As a result, the rulers of the Fireseed Base only knew that there was a powerful force to their north, but they had no idea what the specifics were.
Chen Yu deliberately instructed the people of Tianyu Base not to provoke Huozhong Base, so they regarded Tianyu Base as just a local tyrant, just like Huozhong Base, and a local tyrant with comparable strength to them.
Faced with such a formidable force, the rulers of the Fireseed Base would naturally not act rashly.
They're not stupid. They know that with their oppressive rule, they can only bully small forces. If they were to fight a large force of equal strength, it's hard to say who their subordinates would point their guns at.
That is why, more than a year after the arrival of the extreme cold apocalypse, the two bases have remained in a state of mutual non-interference.
