Chen Yu, who was hiding in the shadows, saw everything that happened outside.
Based on his past experiences, this deputy commander named Liang Zheng is most likely preparing to betray his organization.
At the onset of this natural disaster, he made his own decision, intending to seize power and establish himself as king.
It has to be said, Liang Zheng is really quite audacious.
Based on what Chen Yu saw and heard in his previous life in the extreme cold apocalypse, against the backdrop of the collapse of the global order in the extreme cold apocalypse, there were quite a few military and political separatists who established themselves as kings in the country and even the world.
However, most of them only took action after the extreme cold disaster had struck for half a year or even a year or two, and after they had confirmed that the disaster was irreversible and that order could not be restored to what it was before.
And now, only two days after the natural disaster struck, Liang Zheng dared to have such an idea and had already begun to act on it.
This can't even be described as boldness; it's downright insane gambler behavior!
He's betting that this natural disaster will continue to wreak havoc out of control, causing social collapse and political fragmentation.
In that chaotic post-apocalyptic environment, someone who commands a large army and owns a massive granary would undoubtedly gain at least regional influence.
If he bets correctly, he will have the opportunity to establish a new order and become its master.
Although Chen Yu had left Zhongyang City in the early stages of the apocalypse in his previous life, he had heard that Zhongyang City was later firmly controlled by an organization called "Hope Camp". Hope Camp has always maintained a low profile and is very mysterious.
Although Chen Yu had only heard some scattered fragments about it during the three years of the apocalypse.
But he knew that this Hope Camp was no ordinary force, because even the massive and ever-expanding Fire Seed Base where Chen Yu worked dared not provoke it easily.
An organization with this kind of power could never be a non-governmental organization.
It now seems very likely that Liang Zheng had already successfully seized power in his previous life, and that "Hope Camp" was established by Liang Zheng using this natural disaster and the resources at his disposal.
A chill ran through Chen Yu. He knew that if Liang Zheng succeeded, the entire Zhongyang City and even the surrounding areas would fall under his control.
Given Liang Zheng's ruthless and ambitious nature, he is bound to bring endless disasters and chaos to this land.
Zhongyang City had long been designated as Chen Yu's sphere of influence, and he certainly wouldn't allow such a super power to exist.
This was a threat he couldn't ignore, and he had to do something about it.
However, although he had a large amount of weaponry, he lacked manpower.
Currently, the only person he can fully command and trust is his secretary, Lin Lele, and even then, she's the type who needs to be coaxed and tricked to get her involved in operations.
Chen Yu had been instilling in Lin Lele the idea that they were carrying out secret national operations, and that everything they did was for the country. But now, the target he was dealing with was the military.
Although this was a rebel army, strictly speaking, he was doing a service to the people and the country by eliminating a scourge.
But with Lin Lele's simple mind, she probably wouldn't understand.
When the time comes, it would be good enough if you didn't point a gun at him, let alone help him.
Moreover, Liang Zheng is a legitimate deputy commander of the military region, commanding a large and well-equipped army, and is not someone that one or two people can handle.
Of course, Chen Yu could also take advantage of the fact that the other party was off guard during this extreme weather to carry out an assassination, and now would be a good opportunity for such an assassination.
But Chen Yu wouldn't do that. He had finally been given a second chance at life, and in this life he had prepared everything to cope with the extreme cold of the apocalypse. How could he possibly take any risks?
The other party is only a potential threat to his future; it would be too risky to lose his life for something so uncertain.
Shaking his head, Chen Yu completely put the idea of assassinating Liang Zheng out of his mind; this matter needed to be considered more carefully.
After Liang Zheng and the others left, Chen Yu also took advantage of the darkness to grope his way out of the grain depot area.
With temperatures dropping to minus forty degrees Celsius and snowstorms, the soldiers patrolling the entire grain depot area were merely going through the motions.
Don't talk nonsense about Chen Yu leaving secretly; even if he swaggered around, it would be hard for anyone to notice him.
However, although he had left the granary area, he did not take the sled out of the other dimension.
Because in the dead of night on this snowy plain, the sound of the sled engine is extremely jarring and could easily attract the attention of patrolling soldiers.
Just like when he came, Chen Yu chose to walk a little further before switching to a sled.
The cold wind and snow howled, as if to freeze the whole world.
However, Chen Yu didn't feel much of a difference. After all, he had worked as a porter for three years in the apocalypse in his previous life, and he had experienced outdoor weather of minus 70 degrees Celsius. What was minus 40 degrees Celsius compared to that?
Moreover, his current conditions are much better than in his previous life. Wearing specially made professional cold-weather clothing, he doesn't feel cold at all.
And so, he walked, sometimes deep, sometimes shallow, through the thick snow, gradually moving away from the grain depot.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, his brow furrowing slightly.
Looking down, he saw that his feet were being grabbed by a pair of hands that were frozen white.
He bent down and dug through the snow, where he saw a man covered in blood lying curled up in a snow pit, his breathing extremely weak.
“Zhao Ming?” Chen Yu murmured, “I didn’t expect you to have such a strong will to live.”
The person who grabbed his ankle was none other than Zhao Ming, the deputy battalion commander who had been injured by Liang Zheng and buried in the snow. It was unexpected that after so long, Zhao Ming was still alive.
