The end of the world is coming, I want to be bad every day
Chapter 212 Heavy Casualties, Shao Cheng's Reflections
They waited until dawn. The sun rose and dispelled the coldness and brought new life to the places it shone on. However, the temperature was still around minus 150 degrees Celsius. Cheng Qianyu looked at the drowsy Wen Beining and picked her up.
"Take the girls back to bed. If you still have energy, go to the headquarters. After what happened last night, the base must have suffered a lot of losses."
After settling the girls who couldn't bear it any longer, the people downstairs decided that Cheng Qianyu would take Chu Huo and Shao Yan to the headquarters, while Sheng Yibai and Gu Jinghe would stay at home to continue reinforcing the situation. After all, the cold wave would not just last one night.
The three of them arrived at the headquarters early. As expected, Shao Cheng arrived earlier than them. He was holding a meeting with the management staff to repair the heating of the base while it was still daybreak and the temperature did not drop below minus 200 degrees Celsius.
And notify the military to check the casualties from last night.
Seeing the three people coming in, he was not surprised: "The major families reported the casualties early this morning. They are still in such a state, I think the situation for ordinary people will be even more serious."
Cheng Qianyu lowered his eyes and looked at Shao Cheng who was sitting on the chair, pressing his forehead: "Do the experts have any estimate on when this cold wave will pass through?"
"It won't stay there for long. After tonight, the temperature won't reach the horrible level of minus 200 degrees Celsius. For about a month, the temperature will stay below minus 100 degrees Celsius. At least now humans can move around."
Chu Huo said the following words: "If humans can move around, then zombies can also move around. All kinds of resources are scarce in winter. After the cold wave, both humans and zombies will suffer huge losses. That's when they will attack."
Shao Cheng's face turned pale. He had certainly thought about the problem that Chu Huo mentioned. The cold wave was already a headache, and the uncertainty of the time of the zombie tide meant that a large amount of manpower and material resources were needed to keep on alert at all times. Isn't this also a waste of resources?
The increasingly severe living environment and unknown dangers weighed heavily on Shaocheng's shoulders, making him feel unprecedentedly depressed and tired.
Cheng Qianyu noticed Shao Cheng's fatigue: "Chu Huo is going to stay at the headquarters to help you and relieve the pressure on you and Zheng Jue."
Shao Cheng's eyes widened: "What about the laboratory?"
Cheng Qianyu informed Shaocheng: “With Gu Jinghe here, if the plan goes well after returning from Yuncheng, the Jiang family will be destroyed. Even if it fails, it will be damaged. By then, Jiang Zheng’s last trump card will be gone, and the Jiang family will not be a threat.
Jinghe will take care of the research, Yibai and I will take over the military, and Chu may stay at the headquarters to help you."
After hearing what Cheng Qianyu said, Shao Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the original purpose of the people here was to eliminate anyone who threatened their teammates.
The purpose of seizing power is just to better protect those girls and to make a living in this doomsday.
Now they are finally willing to do something for the future of the base. Shao Cheng feels very gratified about this, and feels like a son has grown up.
"Let's just settle it like this for now and see how the follow-up plan goes. After the zombie wave is over, I may have to accompany Xiaoyu back to Yancheng. She is really worried."
Chu Huo immediately stayed at the command center to help Shao Cheng take charge of government affairs. Cheng Qianyu took Shao Yan to the military headquarters and also brought some supplies for the soldiers who returned from the inspection.
The entire base was surveyed within one day, and the death toll in just one night exceeded the death toll during the entire extreme heat period.
Shao Cheng, who was in a meeting with Chu Huo, received the message in the afternoon and got angry immediately.
"Isn't it said that the heating equipment can withstand minus 300 degrees Celsius? Why are so many ordinary people freezing to death?"
The person who came to report was trembling with fear: "Master Shao, the heating in the base is normal, but because the weather is too cold, the temperature suddenly dropped in the second half of the night, and the heating was greatly reduced. Many people froze to death because of hypothermia after falling asleep."
Chu Huo looked at the detailed list of deaths in his hand and said, "Notify everyone in the base not to sleep tonight, at least not in the second half of the night. We don't know when the temperature will drop to absolute zero again.
If the situation is the same as last night, death is inevitable without preparation."
After listening to Chu Huo's words, the person reporting looked at Shao Cheng, who had a gloomy face.
Shao Cheng: "Why are you looking at me? Go down quickly and inform every unit and every resident!"
The person in charge of the report was frightened, then agreed, hurriedly retreated, and delivered the message.
Chu Huo: "Brother Shaocheng, you can't solve the current predicament by taking your anger out on him. Death is inevitable. The world is a place of natural selection, where the fittest survive, let alone the end of the world.
We have used everything we can to ensure the safety of our living environment, so the rest of the life and death is up to the individual."
Shao Cheng naturally knew this: "I know, but those are ordinary people without superpowers, they..."
"Brother Shaocheng, an environment that is too comfortable will also wear down people's vigilance. Ordinary people are weaker than those with special abilities and need protection, but it is impossible to protect them 24 hours a day. In the end, we have to rely on ourselves."
Chu Huo took his things and walked out of the office, leaving Shao Cheng alone sitting on a chair thinking about the problem: He was born into a military family, and he had always believed in defending his country and serving the people since he was a child. The interests of the people were above everything else.
Deep-rooted things are engraved in our bones. After the end of the world, the zombies, people with special powers, and mutated animals and plants that appear are all more powerful than ordinary people.
As a senior manager, he naturally believed that he had the responsibility and obligation to protect them, and always felt that the environment was not good enough and the supplies provided were not enough.
I have never considered whether excessive protection would make ordinary people lose their sense of preparedness for danger.
After Chu Huo's reminder, Shao Cheng sat down and thought seriously whether he had gone too far.
After thinking about it, the answer is yes. It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
After his sudden realization, Shao Cheng packed up and prepared to go home. He was in urgent need of counseling from his wife, thinking that the residents he had been protecting with all his heart might lose their lives one day because of his overprotection and excessive sense of security.
His mood suddenly became even worse. When he went out, he ran into Chu Huo who was returning. However, he didn't have time to pay attention to him and just ran away.
Chu Huo raised his eyebrows, looked at Shao Cheng's hurried back, sighed and shrugged, "Forget it, since you are in a bad mood, I will give you a day off."
Zheng Jue, Ye Zi and others who came to look for Shao Cheng later all came back empty-handed and saw Chu Huo sitting in Shao Cheng's seat.
Silly Wild Boy: "Brother Chu, have you succeeded in usurping the throne?"
Chu Huo worked hard and took the time to say, “Well, Brother Shaocheng has been fired by me.”
