Zhongyang City Grain Depot is a large grain storage warehouse with a capacity of no less than 800,000 tons of grain.
Normally, this place is under very tight security, and Chen Yu doesn't believe that it would become an empty warehouse unguarded because of a sudden extreme cold disaster.
To avoid being exposed, Chen Yu stored the sled in his alternate dimension from a distance.
Then they found a high place, took out a telescope, and carefully observed the activity inside the grain storage warehouse.
Chen Yu had already prepared himself for the possibility that the grain depot had been occupied or was being guarded, but when he actually saw the situation inside, he was still dumbfounded.
At this time, the snow in the grain storage area had been almost completely cleared, and it was guarded by a group of heavily armed soldiers.
However, some people in civilian clothes were digging through the snow to find their military trucks buried in the snow, indicating that they had arrived at the grain depot at least before the blizzard.
As you can see, some of the excavated truck wheels have already been fitted with makeshift sleds.
Seeing this, Chen Yu's heart sank. He was all alone and not confident enough to snatch grain from the army. It seemed that his long journey was going to fail.
But this is for the best; it's better for the grain depot to fall into the hands of the military than to be occupied by a group of thugs.
Li Mu guessed that these military personnel must have been mobilized to the grain depot before the blizzard hit last night, in preparation for transporting supplies to the disaster-stricken people.
Unfortunately, the weather changes too rapidly, and now they are trapped here as well.
"wrong!"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Chen Yu's mind. He put down the binoculars and frowned.
If the military truly arrived at the grain depot ahead of time to deliver supplies to the disaster victims, then now that they have the means of transportation, they should have already begun delivering supplies to the victims!
They have the leisure to clear snow here, but not to transport grain for the masses? And those people in civilian clothes are clearly grain depot staff, yet they're here digging up trucks for the military region?
And most importantly.
In his previous life, Chen Yu was starving to death and had never heard of any place that distributed food!
It's worth noting that communication in Zhongyang City was restored for two days after the extreme cold disaster struck.
If he had actually received relief supplies somewhere, how could he not have received the news?
There must be something fishy going on here, or something went wrong somewhere!
Chen Yu's suspicions led him to observe more closely; he needed to confirm whether his guess was accurate.
As night fell, the lights around the grain depot began to come on. Chen Yu found a more secluded spot and continued to observe with his binoculars.
In the dim light, he noticed that the soldiers' behavior patterns were beginning to change.
Some soldiers gathered together, seemingly discussing something important, while others increased patrols around the granary.
A sense of foreboding arose in Chen Yu's heart. Was this grain being prepared to be transported away?
If this food is indeed transported away, it will be a fatal blow to the people who are already on the verge of despair.
Chen Yu could refuse to accept the grain, but he didn't want anyone to take it away!
With this in mind, he decided to take action and find out the other party's true purpose.
This was not only to ensure the safety of the designated sphere of influence, but also to uncover the truth about his previous life.
After all, Zhongyang City was such a large grain depot controlled by the military, yet in his previous life he hadn't received a single grain of food.
He later had to risk leaving his hometown to barely survive, which made him feel extremely resentful about his past self.
Chen Yu took a deep breath and silently approached the grain depot along the snow-covered path.
Using the trees and buildings exposed on the snow as cover, they evaded the sight of the patrolling soldiers.
He walked with extreme caution, afraid of making any noise that might attract attention.
Since the temperature had dropped to minus forty degrees Celsius at night, there were not many soldiers patrolling, and many outdoor monitoring devices had been frozen and destroyed. Chen Yu managed to approach the main entrance of the granary without any major incidents.
He hid in the shadow of an abandoned warehouse next to the grain depot, keeping a close eye on the soldiers' movements.
He noticed that although the soldiers were outwardly patrolling, their eyes revealed an undisguised anxiety and unease, and they were occasionally whispering among themselves.
However, Chen Yu was too far away to hear clearly.
Just then, a modified car drove into the grain depot area from a distance. The soldiers immediately stopped their discussion, stood up straight, and saluted the approaching vehicle.
As soon as the car came to a stop, a bespectacled officer with a stern expression stepped out. Ignoring the group of soldiers in front of him, he roared, "Liang Zheng, get out here!"
Sensing the officer's anger, the soldiers all became tense.
"Staff Officer Yu, Deputy Commander Liang is still having lunch. Shall I take you to his office to wait?" a soldier said, mustering his courage.
"Eat? What time is it now? With a natural disaster, countless people are at risk of starving or freezing to death at any moment, and Liang Zheng can still eat!" Staff Officer Yu's voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction.
The soldiers dared not speak again and could only bow their heads and endure the wrath of Staff Officer Yu.
Just then, a door on the third floor of the grain depot's office building not far away opened, and a slightly overweight middle-aged man walked out of the room with some dissatisfaction, stood in the corridor holding the railing and glanced in this direction.
