Each militia member at Tianyu Base carries a special life detection system that can detect their vital signs at any time.
Key indicators, including heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature, are monitored to ensure their safety and health.
The life parameter monitoring systems carried by Lin Lele and Chen Yu are interconnected, and can display Chen Yu's vital signs in real time on her terminal device.
Despite the terrifying screams coming from inside the fireplace, the data on the monitoring system told Lin Lele that although Chen Yu's emotions were somewhat unstable, his vital signs remained stable and there were no abnormalities.
As time passed, the horrific screams inside the shelter finally ceased, leaving only a deathly silence.
Lin Lele stared intently at the terminal device in her hand. The data on the monitoring system remained stable, Chen Yu's vital signs showed no fluctuations, and his heart rate gradually returned to normal.
Her furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her worries lessened.
With a crisp "click," the iron door of the shelter was slowly pushed open.
Lin Lele and a group of militiamen quickly turned their attention to the doorway, looking tense.
At this moment, the most nervous person was Chen Lan, who was being guarded by two militiamen.
As Li Yi's wife, she immediately recognized that the shrill screams coming from inside were from Li Yi.
As a powerful figure in the late Qing Dynasty, Li Yi was certainly not a coward; he was ruthless to others and ruthless to himself.
For Li Yi to let out such a terrible scream, he must have been experiencing unprecedented pain.
Just how much hatred and grudge does that man called "Mr. Chen" have against Li Yi?
But what fate awaits her?
Chen Lan was filled with fear and uncertainty.
She couldn't help but look at Lin Lele; now, perhaps only Lin Lele could protect her.
Thinking of this, a strong will to survive surged within Chen Lan. She broke free from the restraints of the two militiamen and rushed towards Lin Lele.
"Commander, please, save me!" She knelt before Lin Lele, clinging tightly to Lin Lele's leg. "I'll do anything for you if you can let me live!"
"Hey~! Let go! What are you doing?" Lin Lele was startled by Chen Lan's sudden action. She tried to shake Chen Lan off her legs, but Chen Lan held on tightly, as if he were her only lifeline.
"What's going on here?" Chen Yu frowned as he saw this scene as he stepped out of the shelter.
"Mr. Chen."
"Mr. Chen."
…………
When the militiamen saw Chen Yu come out, they all saluted and greeted him.
Two other militiamen immediately stepped forward, trying to pull Chen Lan away from Lin Lele.
But Chen Lan seemed glued to Lin Lele's thigh, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't separate her.
Furthermore, they were afraid of hurting Lin Lele, so they didn't dare to use any rough methods, making the scene extremely awkward.
"Sir, please help me!" Seeing that she couldn't shake off Chen Lan, Lin Lele could only turn to Chen Yu for help.
"Chen Lan! What exactly do you want?" Chen Yu's voice carried a hint of displeasure as he strode up to Chen Lan, staring intently at her.
Chen Lan was intimidated by Chen Yu's imposing aura, her body trembled slightly, and then she mustered her courage and shouted to Chen Yu, "I...I have already pledged allegiance to the Commander-in-Chief, you surnamed Chen, you can't kill me!"
Her voice trembled slightly, but it was more resolute than anything else.
Then she looked at Lin Lele with a pleading expression, trying to get Lin Lele to help her.
Before Lin Lele could say anything, Chen Yu laughed: "Oh~? Then tell me, what can you do for our Commander?"
At this moment, he had avenged his great enemy and put an end to a long-standing obsession, and he felt exceptionally relaxed.
Therefore, he looked at Chen Lan with a hint of amusement, wanting to see what tricks the other party could pull off in a desperate situation.
Seeing that Chen Yu did not stop her immediately, Chen Lan felt somewhat relieved.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, then looked at Lin Lele with a serious expression and said, "Commander, to be frank, although I haven't met your sisters, given your circumstances, you definitely won't be able to successfully inherit your base after the old leader passes away. You can't beat them! But I can help you." Chen Lan's voice carried a hint of urgency and determination as she stared intently into Lin Lele's eyes, trying to convey her sincerity and resolve.
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
Lin Lele was so shocked by Chen Lan's words that her mouth dropped open. It took her a while to react.
He hurriedly said to Chen Yu, "No... I didn't, I didn't! Sir, you..."
Chen Yu waved his hand, interrupting Lin Lele, and said to Chen Lan with interest, "Tell me your plan, and how are you so sure she can't beat the others?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Lan sneered, "Putting everything else aside for now, the fact that the Commander-in-Chief, as the commander of an army and the second-in-command of the base, is completely controlled by a pretty boy like you is enough to show that she lacks sufficient means and wisdom in power struggles. If you were in charge of the base, would you entrust such an important position to someone so easily swayed by emotions? If you give her the position, who knows who will own the base in the future?"
"And you, as the Commander-in-Chief's subordinates, allowed him to be ordered around by an outsider without doing anything. Isn't that a dereliction of duty and a betrayal?" Chen Lan's words were like sharp blades, not only piercing Lin Lele, but also shattering the peace in the hearts of all the militiamen present.
Her words were sharp and direct, mercilessly pointing out Lin Lele's weaknesses in the power struggle.
To save her life, and to cling to Lin Lele in this apocalyptic world, she was going all out. She was gambling that Lin Lele would be awakened by her sudden rebuke and give her a chance to pledge her loyalty.
She was gambling that the soldiers present would be moved by her words and realize their position and responsibilities in the power structure as Lin Lele's subordinates.
Chen Lan admitted that she took a huge gamble and was very risky, but she still did it.
She not only wanted to survive, but also wanted to live well, to live with dignity and value.
She, too, wanted to make a difference in this chaotic world!
