It was already past midnight when Chen Yu and his companion entered a city within the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, having just experienced two full days of global blackout, humanity once again enjoys the light of night, and the streets are still bustling with activity.
Compared to foreign countries like Merica, Great Xia obviously suffered the least losses in this disaster. Although many people were killed in the disaster, at least there was no looting, arson, or vandalism like in foreign countries.
At this moment, people on the street spontaneously organized themselves to mourn the victims of the disaster.
Some celebrated the world's nights returning to light, and human civilization being rekindled.
Hot late-night snacks began to appear at various vendors' stalls, their aromas attracting passersby to stop and eat.
To keep a low profile, Chen Yu and Lin Lele wore masks, randomly chose a busy roadside stall, ordered a large table of food, and enjoyed it to their heart's content.
They've been exhausted these past few days, barely having had a proper meal. This delicious food is the greatest comfort they can find right now.
"Mr. Chen, I never expected that a billionaire like you would eat at a roadside stall." Lin Lele couldn't help but tease.
"Hehe, it won't be long before you miss this meal," Chen Yu said casually.
In the future, in an extremely cold apocalypse, being able to eat one's fill will be an unparalleled luxury for survivors, let alone the luxury of being picky.
When Lin Lele heard Chen Yu say this, she nodded slightly and did not reply.
In her mind, this was their first meal after completing their mission of supreme honor, and it was something she would cherish for a lifetime.
Just then, a man at the table opposite them exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap! I just saw on my WeChat Moments that a group of thugs took advantage of the disaster to attack more than a dozen oil refineries in Xiong Country!"
"Brother, your WeChat Moments post is outdated. I just received the latest news: more than 30 oil refineries and 5 ports in Xiong Kingdom have been attacked by KB militants. The scene is horrific!" someone corrected.
"How can there be such bad people in this world! If those bastards stood in front of me, I'd beat them to a pulp! Let's do it!" one of them shouted, rolling up his sleeves.
"A global blackout, and then the Bear Country was attacked—what a coincidence!" A middle-aged man slammed his hand on the table, gritting his teeth with unwavering certainty. "This must be a conspiracy by Merika!"
"Yes! It must be a conspiracy by Merica! That damned Merica Empire, they really have no end to their desire to destroy us!" The people at the table echoed.
"I'm putting it this way today: if you want to fight the Merika Empire, I'll donate 100,000 kilos!"
"I'll donate 500,000!"
"I'll donate my entire fortune!"
"I'll give my life!"
The group at that table was in high spirits, and no one wanted to be outdone.
Lin Lele was speechless upon hearing this. She secretly glanced at Chen Yu, who remained unmoved, and thought to herself, "You uncles are still too young. Little do you know that the great powers are ourselves!"
Thinking of this, Lin Lele couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
Unexpectedly, it was this action of hers that angered the people at the opposite table.
A burly man immediately smashed his beer on the ground, stood up, and shouted angrily, "Little brat, what do you mean?"
Lin Lele was taken aback. Seeing the fierce-looking people opposite her, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She quickly explained, "No, I'm not targeting you. I...I...you can continue."
Lin Lele's explanation further enraged the other side, and everyone on the other side stood up.
Someone roared, "Damn it, brothers! We're here cheering for our country, and this little girl is mocking us. She's unpatriotic, she must be an enemy spy. Let's get her!"
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, the stall owner quickly came over and said, "Brothers, calm down. The young girl is just being sensible, please don't take it to heart."
"Ignorant? This is a matter of principle, do you think you can just let it go with a simple 'ignorant' comment? If we don't teach her a lesson today, how can we face our loyal hearts and the sacrifices of our ancestors?" a burly man roared.
"So what kind of lesson do you want to teach her?" Chen Yu stood up and said coldly.
He possesses an innate air of authority, making it immediately apparent that he comes from a distinguished background.
Upon seeing this, the burly men felt a chill run down their spines, sensing a strong sense of oppression emanating from Chen Yu's aura.
"This person is not to be trifled with!" This was the conclusion they reached.
However, with so many people watching, it would be too embarrassing for these burly men to be intimidated by just one person.
One of the burly men, with a face full of scars, took a deep breath and said to Chen Yu in a deep voice, "Apologize! She must apologize to us!"
Lin Lele didn't think she had done anything wrong. With Chen Yu standing up for her, she was naturally full of confidence. Just as she was about to refute him, Chen Yu patted her shoulder and stopped her with a look.
"What if we don't apologize?" Chen Yu said calmly.
His voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable authority. His gaze was sharp as a knife as he stared directly at the burly man with a face full of scars.
"This...I..." The burly man's face turned red, clearly intimidated by Chen Yu's aura, and he was speechless.
"Brothers, I overheard part of your conversation. Patriotism is a good thing, but don't be too radical. If you have any different opinions, you can discuss them calmly!" The stall owner tried to ease the tension. He stepped forward and said to the burly men with a smile.
Given that the other party didn't seem like someone to be trifled with, the burly men were already having second thoughts. However, with so many people watching, they didn't want to back down. The stall owner's words, on the other hand, undoubtedly gave them a way out.
However, just as the group was about to end the conversation with some harsh words, a young man in the crowd joked, "Yeah, guys, I just heard you saying you were going to donate your entire fortune and even your lives. I see there's a disaster relief fund donation point for the families of victims not far away. I wonder how much you've donated?"
Upon hearing this, the group immediately blushed with embarrassment.
"What a load of bull! It's all a scam! Who knows where they're going to spend that money!" a burly man tried to argue.
"Uh... I think that looks like an official donation! What? You keep saying... hehe, you don't even trust the country?" the young man asked, looking puzzled.
The burly men were speechless after being confronted by the young man, and they were so anxious that they scratched their heads and cheeks.
"Haha~!" The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter.
For a moment, the burly men felt like clowns being watched, which enraged them. The burly man with the fierce face grabbed a bottle and rushed towards the young man, shouting, "You little brat, I think you're a spy, trying to stir up trouble here. Today, I'll rid the country of this scourge!"
The others, not to be outdone, also glared at the young man with hostile expressions.
If they can't handle Chen Yu, can't they handle this young man who looks like a hothead?
But just then, a sharp shout rang out: "Stop!"
