Seeing that the five members of the transport team had all expressed their determination to join his operation, Chen Yu felt a sense of relief.
After all, their attitude showed that the lowly people at the Fireseed Base were still worth saving, and it wasn't for nothing that he went to all this trouble to make things so complicated.
In his previous life, he worked as a slave at the Spark Base for three years, risking his life to work himself to the bone, yet he was always hungry and cold. All the fruits of his labor were seized by the high-ranking managers at the Spark Base.
Due to long-term high-intensity work in harsh environments and malnutrition, he fell ill from overwork and was eventually "optimized" by the base management. He was then burned alive in the furnace by the base's high-ranking officials.
How could he not avenge such a deep-seated grudge?
Originally, he planned to use missiles and artillery to bombard the area and turn the Fire Seed Base into a sea of fire.
But after thinking about it, I realized that there are good people and bad people everywhere.
Although the vested interests of the Fire Seed Base are worse than animals, most of the lower-level people, those who were exploited by the base's higher-ups just like him in his previous life, are still innocent and worthy of sympathy.
They, too, are trapped by this unjust system, forced to struggle on the edge of survival, just like he was in his previous life.
If he were to resort to such extreme measures to vent his anger, then those innocent people would also perish under the cannon fire, which would contradict his original intention. After all, he was also one of those cattle and horses in his previous life. Saving those innocent and oppressed cattle and horses is to save himself in his previous life.
Therefore, Chen Yu decided to adopt a more moderate yet effective strategy.
He wanted to expose the true colors of the high-ranking officials at the Fire Seed Base, so that all the people at the bottom could see the truth and understand that the reason they were living in such dire straits was entirely due to the greed and ruthlessness of those in power.
He wanted to destroy that corrupt and filthy system from within, and make the high-ranking members of the Fireseed Base pay back for their actions. Only then could it be considered true revenge.
He started this first step with the five members of the transport team.

On the other side, the villagers of Wenshui Village were still packing their belongings, including tattered cotton-padded coats, dirty quilts, pots and pans, and even wooden benches and tables from their homes. They didn't want to leave anything behind.
After all, these are necessities for survival in this extremely cold and apocalyptic world.
Looking at the things the villagers were packing, Lin Lele was both amused and exasperated: "What are you doing? Why are you carrying all this stuff? Are you looking down on our Tianyu Base? Besides, it's inconvenient for you to carry so much stuff!"
"Ah~? Sister Lele, my dad hesitated for a long time before only bringing these things! He said that these things are essential if he wants to survive in the extreme cold outside!" said Xu Qing, the village chief's daughter.
"Then tell me, what's the use of these things?" Lin Lele asked with a wry smile.
"Clothes and quilts are essential for keeping warm; pots and pans are for cooking and boiling water, ensuring we have hot meals and hot water to drink; and benches and tables are made of wood and can be used to make fires for warmth. At the beginning of the natural disaster, our village survived the most difficult period by burning furniture at home for warmth," Xu Qing explained earnestly.
"Alright, alright, what kind of place is our Tianyu base? Do we need these things? Hmm, you can bring the extra quilts and cotton-padded clothes. These things are relatively lightweight and can be used for secondary processing. Just throw away the rest!" Lin Lele waved her hand, her tone carrying an unquestionable decisiveness.
"After all, we didn't bring that many snowmobiles this time, and we wouldn't be able to fit everything," Lin Lele added.
Upon hearing Lin Lele's last sentence, the villagers were shocked: "What? We can take a car to Tianyu Base?"
"Are we supposed to walk instead of taking a car? It's almost 200 kilometers. In such extreme cold, how many people can withstand it?" Lin Lele rolled her eyes.
I thought to myself, these villagers are really brave. They actually plan to trek 200 kilometers through the snow at minus 70 degrees Celsius. There are still many elderly people and children in the village. I'm afraid that before they even reach the Tianyu base, most of them will die on the way.
Upon receiving Lin Lele's confirmation, everyone showed expressions of joy, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope.
They knew that with the help of the snowmobile trucks, they would be able to reach Tianyu Base more safely and quickly and start a new life.
Furthermore, the fact that the people at Tianyu Base arranged vehicles for them also indirectly proves the strength of the other party.
After all, in this extremely cold post-apocalyptic world, energy is a very precious resource.
At the Fire Seed Base, they only use energy-powered sleds when carrying out special missions. For everyday tasks like transporting supplies and getting around, they use biologically powered sleds that are pulled by the transport team members.
The villagers finally felt relieved and completely trusted Chen Yu and Lin Lele.
After all, the fact that Tianyu Base could provide them with energy-powered sleds and place them at Huozhong Base is definitely a treatment reserved for high-level management personnel.
Under these circumstances, they should not be treated too badly after arriving at Tianyu Base.
Thinking back to the promotional video of Tianyu Base that we had seen before, everyone's hearts were filled with anticipation and longing for the future.
