After saying goodbye to Xu Anbang's family, it was already dark outside. Chen Yu boarded a helicopter piloted by Lin Lele and went straight to the top of Shiban Mountain.
Qiao Meng and Yang Yue had been waiting for a long time on the helipad at the top of Shiban Mountain. When the helicopter slowly landed, the cabin door opened, and Chen Yu's figure appeared in their sight, both of them showed joyful smiles.
"Mr. Chen Yu, you're back!" Qiao Meng rushed forward and hugged Chen Yu tightly.
Yang Yue also came forward. Although she didn't hug Qiao Meng like she did, her eyes were full of warmth and care.
"Let's go inside first, don't get cold." Chen Yu replied with a smile, gently placing one hand on Qiao Meng's shoulder and holding Yang Yue's hand with the other. The three of them entered the top gate of the post-apocalyptic bunker together.
"Hey, hey, I haven't gotten off the plane yet!" Lin Lele shouted indignantly.
…………
Speaking of which, Chen Yu spent a huge sum of money to build the post-apocalyptic bunker before the apocalypse, but he didn't really enjoy it much. He spent most of his time running around outside, and he was destined to be a busybody.
Considering that I'm going on another long trip, and even abroad, I don't know when I'll be able to come back.
Chen Yu decided to take a good rest in his post-apocalyptic bunker, spend time with his family members Qiao Meng and Yang Yue, and also give himself a break to relax.
Over the next few days, Chen Yu was completely immersed in the warmth and tranquility of his family.
He temporarily forgot about the crisis of the apocalypse and the urgency of the mission, and wholeheartedly enjoyed the rare time of reunion with Qiao Meng and the other two.
They strolled together through the zoological and botanical garden inside the bunker, admiring the lush green plants and various animals.
Chen Yu particularly liked the atmosphere here; it made him feel as if he had returned to the world before the extreme cold and apocalypse.
The chirping of insects and birds, the babbling of streams, and the lush greenery create a vibrant scene that contrasts sharply with the desolate, lifeless, and white landscape outside.
Together they cooked all sorts of delicious food in the bunker, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.
Previously, Qiao Meng was usually busy in the kitchen by herself, with Yang Yue and Lin Lele occasionally helping out, while Chen Yu just ate. These past few days, however, they have been cooking together and have found it quite enjoyable.
They watched a movie together, shared popcorn, and their laughter and conversation filled the spacious and cozy bunker living room.
Chen Yu selected several classic old movies that they both loved. The changing lights and shadows on the screen took them on a journey through time, back to those carefree days.
The only thing that bothered him was that Qiao Meng's younger sister, Qiao Xin, was always hanging around them, acting as a third wheel.
When Chen Yu said a few words to her, she immediately retorted by saying that she hadn't seen her sister in a long time either, which left Chen Yu somewhat helpless.
When he left the post-apocalyptic bunker, he locked it securely for the safety of Qiao Meng and Yang Yue, preventing anyone from getting in or out.
As the base commander of Tianyu Base, Qiao Meng also directs the base's work through remote video conferencing, which is very inconvenient.
Therefore, most of the work is managed by Qiao Meng's younger sister and secretary, Qiao Xin.
She's helped him so much lately, it's only natural that she'd come to keep her sister company in the post-apocalyptic bunker.
Although Chen Yu had some reservations, he didn't say anything more.
Besides their cozy life in the post-apocalyptic bunker, they also went down the mountain together to inspect the various facilities and scientific research and production at the Tianyu base. Seeing the base thriving, Chen Yu was filled with pride and satisfaction.
It's not so important for one or a few people to survive in the apocalypse; what truly matters is how to rebuild order in this chaotic world and find a future for human civilization.
These days made Chen Yu feel quite satisfied and fulfilled.
If he could, he hoped that such days could continue forever.
However, humans are, after all, fragile beings, and will eventually grow old.
A person's life is but a few decades long, and even in the struggle to survive in the end times, one cannot escape the erosion of time.
Fortunately, Yang Yue's "telomerase regulation technology" has also made some progress during this period, giving them hope to fight against the passage of time.
This technology aims to control the aging process of cells and extend human lifespan by regulating the activity of telomerase in human cells.
However, Yang Yue is ultimately a person with limited energy and certain limitations in her thinking. It's impossible to expect anything from her in the long run.
A few months ago, Chen Yu said he would provide Yang Yue with a research and development team, but to this day, Yang Yue is still alone, which has made Yang Yue complain to Chen Yu several times.
This made Chen Yu feel somewhat embarrassed.
He did indeed neglect this matter and didn't take it too seriously.
However, he also had his concerns.
After all, the "telomerase regulation technology" is of great importance, and he doesn't want to send it down to a place outside the post-apocalyptic bunker for research.
He didn't want outsiders to freely enter the biological laboratory inside the post-apocalyptic bunker.
Another point is that elite talents in the field of telomerase are already scarce, let alone in an extreme environment like the post-apocalyptic world. It is not easy to find telomerase research talents who are both loyal and capable.
A while ago, he met a genius in this field in Haidu.
Her name is "Liu Menghan". At only 24 years old, she is already a PhD in Molecular Cell Biology at Haha University. Moreover, it should be noted that the extreme cold apocalypse has been going on for more than a year now. This means that Liu Menghan had already obtained her doctoral degree at least at the age of 23, and from a top university on Earth like Haha University. Such an achievement is undoubtedly amazing.
However, Liu Menghan is far too shrewd and a "scheming bitch." He fears that Yang Yue might not be able to withstand her, and if he is not careful, he himself might be manipulated by her.
Chen Yu's consistent philosophy is that his subordinates should not be too clever, especially those close to him, because cleverness is often accompanied by scheming, and once such scheming exceeds his control, it will cause trouble.
However, his Tianyu Base cannot develop high technology, overcome natural disasters with technology, or even advance human civilization further without the participation of these geniuses and elites.
Lin Lele is indeed a useful "silly" person, but you can't expect her to do scientific research, can you?
Isn't this nonsense? If you send Lin Lele to do scientific research, you'll be lucky if she doesn't end up back in the Stone Age.
Chen Yu knew that to achieve technological breakthroughs at the Tianyu base, he had to attract and retain top talent.
And that's what his current Tianyu base is doing too.
However, he was still somewhat uneasy about letting someone like Liu Menghan enter his post-apocalyptic bunker.
However, things don't always go as planned. "Telomerase regulation technology" was his most important research project, and he couldn't put all the pressure on Yang Yue alone.
He needs to find a way to recruit a research team for him.
Liu Menghan is undoubtedly a candidate worth considering, even though she is shrewd and unpredictable.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu took out his phone and dialed the number of Qi Xiaowei, the base manager of Tianyu Haidu Branch.
