After dinner, Chen Yu took out a small portable shower from the other-dimensional space and washed up with Lin Lele.
Then they took out clean bedding and laid it on the bed in the room, and the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
The world more than 30 meters below the snow is quieter than the world on the snow surface, as if even time has slowed down here.
Without the noise and disturbances of the outside world, only the sound of each other's heartbeats and breaths echoed softly in each other's ears.
I don't know how much time passed, but then a commotion came from outside.
Chen Yu was awakened by the noise and fumbled to pick up his military watch from the bedside table to check the time.
The watch showed 2 a.m.
"Erzhu said those people are from the Fire Seed Base's transport team. Should we really get involved?"
"Sigh! After all, these are lives at stake. We can't just stand by and watch them die, can we?"
…………
Hearing the faint chatter of villagers passing by outside the door, Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. They're here!
In his previous life, he was a member of the cattle and horse transport team of the Fire Seed Base. His team encountered a massive blizzard around this time while transporting supplies. Fortunately, they were rescued by the villagers of Wenshui Village. Otherwise, his post-apocalyptic life in his previous life would probably have come to an end.
These past few days, he had only been staking out this place with a try-it-out mentality, to see if the things that happened in his previous life would still happen.
Actually, he didn't have much hope. After all, the occasional flapping of a butterfly's wings in the Amazon rainforest could soon cause a tornado somewhere thousands of miles away.
Not to mention that his rebirth in this life has quietly altered many of the original trajectories.
However, fate always seems to have a unique sense of humor, and the events of the previous life have quietly reappeared at the same time in this life.
"What happened?" Lin Lele rubbed her sleepy eyes, her gaze filled with confusion and a dazed look.
Chen Yu gently patted her shoulder and softly comforted her, "It's okay, you can go back to sleep. There might be a small problem outside, I'll go take a look."
"Oh," Lin Lele responded, then snuggled back into her warm bed.
Chen Yu rolled out of bed, quickly put on his clothes and hat, and pushed open the door. A bone-chilling cold immediately rushed towards him, making him shiver involuntarily.
Seeing a group of villagers rushing towards them from a distance, their faces filled with anxiety and unease, and carrying flashlights and tools, it was clear that an emergency had occurred.
Chen Yu closed the door behind him and then went to greet the villagers: "Village chief, what happened?"
"Chen Yu, you've come at the right time. There are several people trapped in the blizzard outside, and the situation is extremely critical," said Village Chief Xu Anbang anxiously, his eyes revealing an undisguised worry. "Come and lend us a hand."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu immediately nodded, his premonition confirmed.
The group quickly headed towards the exit of the passage.
On the way, Xu Anbang told them that due to the sudden blizzard outside, the villagers on duty were worried that the exit would be blocked by snow, so they went to check overnight and found the members of the Fire Seed Base transport team who were trapped in the blizzard.
This was not much different from his previous life, and Chen Yu's feelings were quite complicated at this moment.
In their past life, the villagers of Wenshui Village saved the transport team because of their simple and kind nature, which brought utter destruction to their village.
In this lifetime, this scene has played out again.
Chen Yu did not stop him from doing so.
After all, with him around in this life, nothing bad will happen to Wenshui Village.
His visit to Wenshui Village this time was out of gratitude for the kindness the villagers had shown him in his previous life, and he wanted to relocate them from Wenshui Village.
However, Wenshui Village is surrounded by a hot spring, and the villagers are self-sufficient. Although they are simple and kind, they are also conservative to some extent, as can be seen from the fact that they buried the village under more than 30 meters of snow.
But being conservative does not mean being pedantic, much less stupid.
They knew all too well that outsiders could not be trusted in such an extremely cold and apocalyptic environment!
Even when he saved people, he did so with the intention of keeping the kind-hearted people he saved in the village, just like he and Lin Lele.
People can be saved, but letting them leave is definitely out of the question. If the person being saved has ulterior motives or tries to leave, then for the safety of their own village, they will not hesitate to take action.
If Chen Yu directly suggested that they abandon Wenshui Village and move to a place they knew nothing about, they would definitely refuse outright, and might even suspect Chen Yu's motives, thinking that he had ulterior motives.
Therefore, Chen Yu made two preparations. One was to spend more time gaining the villagers' trust and then persuade them to move to the Tianyu base in a gentle manner. The other was to intervene with external forces, namely the transportation team of the Huozhong base.
Of the two options, the latter is clearly better; the former is not only time-consuming, but also not guaranteed to succeed.
However, the latter was his experience from his previous life. In this life, because of him, it's uncertain whether the transport team will appear here and suffer from the blizzard. After all, he was also a member of the transport team in his previous life, and now he is the boss who controls a super-large survivor base.
However, to his delight, it seemed that the exploits of the transport team from his previous life were about to be repeated in this Wenshui Village.
Then he can take advantage of this opportunity to get the villagers of Wenshui Village to move to his Tianyu base.
Furthermore, his plan to destroy the Fireseed Base can now proceed smoothly.
Of course, all of this is on the premise that this transport team is still the same transport team he was in in his previous life, and that the team leader is still the same person.
While Chen Yu was pondering, his group had already reached the end of the passage.
Looking up, there was a slope with an incline of nearly 60 degrees in front of you, and the slope was about 60 meters long.
There are two man-made steps on either side of the slope to facilitate people going up and down, and a smooth snow surface in the middle, presumably to facilitate the transport of supplies down.
Looking up from the bottom, you can faintly see specks of stars in the sky outside.
"Old Zhao, we're going up there to help rescue people. You guys stay here and provide support." After quickly assigning tasks, Xu Anbang led a group of villagers, carrying several stretchers, and began to climb the steps up the slope with difficulty.
Chen Yu was naturally assigned to the support group led by Zhao Zhang, who stayed behind to guard the area below.
It's not that Xu Anbang took care of him or anything, but because he had only been in the village for a few days and had not yet fully gained everyone's trust, the villagers were not at ease letting him go out. What if he ran away?
