Chen Yu was a little confused by what he heard. He frowned and was about to speak.
But Lin Lele sneered, "Who do you think you are? You're disappointed in my patriarch? There's nothing my patriarch can't get if he sets his sights on it. From now on, you'd better stay obediently in our bunker."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuxuan's face turned even paler. Her voice trembled as she said, "Mr. Chen, I thought... I thought you at least respected my personality and wishes. I never expected you... you would resort to such unscrupulous means."
Seeing that Zhao Yuxuan seemed to be on the verge of a breakdown, Chen Yu sighed at the right moment and softened his tone slightly: "Zhao Yuxuan, with natural disasters happening now, everyone should find their own place. You can stay in the bunker from now on. At least you won't go hungry or get cold. It's infinitely better than you wandering outside. Moreover, I can agree to let you continue your research on 'telomerase technology'. That way, you can continue to pursue your scientific dreams, right?"
"Chen Yu, you are a despicable scoundrel!" Zhao Yuxuan's emotions instantly surged, and she even called Chen Yu by his full name. "You keep claiming to be doing this for the peace of Tianyu Base, using the pretext of my research on prohibited projects to expel me from the base, but it was all just to control me and satisfy your personal desires!"
Chen Yu felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this. He had indeed kidnapped Zhao Yuxuan because he was attracted by her abilities, but he swore to God that when he first made the decision to expel Zhao Yuxuan, he hadn't considered too much. It was entirely to nip any budding "immortality" technology in the base in the bud.

However, he couldn't explain this to Zhao Yuxuan; in such a situation, he would only make things worse.
Chen Yu remained silent for a while, his eyes becoming deep and complex.
He spoke slowly and earnestly, "Little Zhao, you know, this world has changed. Many of the moral principles and rules of the past have lost their meaning in this apocalyptic era. Everything I've done is for survival, for the future of Tianyu Base. Now that the world has just been pacified, and the natural disaster crisis has not yet been resolved, the position of leader of Tianyu Base cannot fall into the hands of others. Do you understand what I mean?"
