Fortunately, Xu Anbang, the village chief of Wenshui Village, and his family of three all passed the entry test for Tianyu Base.
They have been living at the Tianyu base for a month and a half now, and their lives are gradually getting back on track.
Thinking back on their time living at the Tianyu base, the three of them couldn't help but smile happily, and their eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration as they looked at Chen Yu.
If it weren't for Chen Yu, their village would probably have been wiped out by the Fire Seed Base long ago, let alone be able to enjoy such a peaceful and prosperous life in this extremely cold apocalypse.
They now truly feel that there is hope for each day, and this extreme cold disaster is no longer so terrible. They see the light of hope that humanity can overcome disasters, rebuild civilization, and even reach new heights.
"Old Xu, are you getting used to living here with us?" Chen Yu, who came to visit the villagers of Wenshui Village, asked Xu Anbang with a smile.
“It’s a habit, Mr. Chen. Our Tianyu Base is like paradise. Being able to come here is the greatest blessing of our lives!” Xu Anbang said with gratitude, his eyes sparkling with love for life and anticipation for the future.
His wife, Wang Hui, and daughter, Xu Qing, nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with gratitude as they looked at Chen Yu.
"Thank you, Brother Chen Yu, for taking us in." Xu Qing's voice was clear and melodious, tinged with a hint of shyness and sincerity.
Chen Yu waved his hand and said, "You were able to join the Tianyu Base because you passed the base's entry assessment, so there's no need to thank me."
In his previous life, he watched helplessly as Xu Anbang and his wife, who had been kind to him, were brutally murdered by Li Liguo. To avoid being humiliated by Li Liguo, Xu Qing threw herself into the scorching hot spring and perished.
These scenes have haunted Chen Yu like a demon for a long time. Guilt and self-blame are like two sharp knives, constantly cutting into his heart.
Now, seeing Xu Anbang and his family of three living happily and peacefully at the Tianyu base, his guilt has finally been somewhat soothed.
"That's true, but if you hadn't sent us here and given us a chance to be tested, we might still be struggling to survive somewhere! Or we might have already been murdered by the people at the Fire Seed Base." Xu Anbang's tone was tinged with determination and lingering fear, his eyes reflecting both感慨 about the past and 定心定 for the future.
“A while ago, I destroyed the Fire Seed Base. Its leader, Li Yi, and his gang were all wiped out.” Chen Yu’s words were calm and powerful, as if he were talking about a trivial matter, but the amount of information contained in them shocked Xu Anbang and his family of three.
"What? The Fire Seed Base... was destroyed?" Xu Anbang's voice trembled slightly; he simply couldn't believe his ears.
The Fire Seed Base, which once struck fear into their hearts and was like a nightmare, was actually destroyed by Chen Yu just like that?
"Don't any of you read Tianyu News?" Chen Yu asked with a wry smile.
He originally thought that Xu Anbang and the others had already heard about this, since major and minor events at Tianyu Base were updated and disseminated in real time through radio broadcasts and the internal cable television network.
Although the real-time battle situation at the Fire Seed Base was not broadcast, he still saw several reports on his phone about the Tianyu Base building a new branch base in Rongdu.
"We...we're usually busy adapting to the new environment, learning the base's rules and regulations, and participating in various tasks, so we haven't really been paying much attention to the news," Xu Anbang explained, scratching his head somewhat awkwardly.
His wife, Wang Hui, and daughter, Xu Qing, also looked embarrassed and somewhat ashamed.
Chen Yu nodded understandingly, knowing full well how difficult it was to adapt and integrate into a new environment.
He then said, "Tianyu Base advocates a balance between work and rest. Work is work, and life is life. Don't push yourself too hard. In addition to work and study, you can also participate in some cultural and recreational activities at the base, make new friends, and enrich your spiritual world."
Upon hearing this, Xu Anbang and his family of three smiled with relief and gratitude. They truly felt the warmth and care of Tianyu Base, which not only provided a safe living environment but also emphasized people's physical and mental health and all-round development.
"Xiao Qing, I remember you're not 18 yet, right? What? You're not going to school?" Chen Yu's words carried a hint of concern, and his gaze gently fell on Xu Qing.
He knew that in this turbulent era, education was especially important for the younger generation, serving as the cornerstone for them to rebuild civilization and create the future.
“I… I never did very well in school, and since the extreme cold disaster, I haven’t been to school for over a year. I’ve forgotten everything I learned,” Xu Qing said softly. “It’s better to get a job and contribute to the base.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu gently shook his head, his eyes full of encouragement and understanding. "Xiao Qing, knowledge is an endless treasure. No matter what happened in the past, there is always a chance to start over. Tianyu Base has a very comprehensive education system, which not only provides basic education for minors, but also various skills training and interest classes, aiming to help everyone discover their potential and interests."
"I know you might be worried, afraid of falling behind or being laughed at. But please believe that everyone here is working hard for a better future. No one will laugh at your past; they will only encourage you to bravely face the present and the future." Chen Yu's words were warm and powerful, like a warm current flowing into Xu Qing's heart.
Xu Anbang and Wang Hui echoed their sentiments, deeply understanding the importance of education and seeing the hesitation and longing in their daughter's eyes. They encouraged Xu Qing to bravely take this step, to try, to learn, and to grow.
