Chapter 187 - West Mountain Base

 The news that was spreading widely was detected by some people with a heart.

 They had a keen sense that the messages were deliberately hiding something.

 But with hundreds of messages, there was no way for them to confirm them one by one, so most of them could only look on.

 However, there were the same people who had obtained some useful intelligence by analyzing these data.

 The direction 52 kilometers to the west from Yunque Manor belonged to the West Mountain District.

 The name of the Western Mountainous Region came from a mountain range here.

 Since the 1960s, Tian Hai City officials had begun to create shelters in various places.

 At the very beginning, the purpose was to protect against air defense and even H attacks.

 According to the data from the relevant parties, there were a total of 356 shelters in Tianhai City today.

 But the vast majority of the shelters were simply air defense shelters and underground emergency shelters.

 There wasn't a large amount of food in them, and the shelters were built relatively simply.

 These are for the use of ordinary city residents.

 If there were ordinary shelters, then naturally there would be military, as well as special shelters reserved for the use of high-ranking official figures.

 In these places, both the level of security and the supply of materials far exceeded that of ordinary shelters.

 There was such a refuge 200 meters below the ground in West Mountain.

 Although the entire Western Mountain had been covered in snow, a large number of people were still living underground at this time.

 This underground institution was extraordinarily huge, with a huge space inside that was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, it could be called a grand scale underground city.

 The entire body was built using the strongest alloy, just like an underground space fortress.

 At this moment, inside the office of the leader of the West Mountain Organization.

 Behind the mahogany desk, a middle-aged man wearing a gray Zhongshan suit and combing his back hair was reading the documents in his hands.

 A cup of hot tea was placed by his hand, and the temperature in the room was pleasant, not feeling cold in the slightest.

 The entire room was also decorated in an antique style, even the shelves where books were placed were hundreds of years old.

 He was the former senior official of Tianhai City, and now the leader of the Xishan Organization - Chen Xinian.

 Chen Xinian flipped through the documents in his hands, his eyes occasionally looking at the computer screen on the table.

 "Is the base's energy problem still not well resolved?"

 "For the power supply, we can have the Fourth Life Warehouse generate electricity. But without access to large quantities of fossil fuels, the troop side will still only be able to travel by foot and dog sled."

 "And just relying on manpower to generate electricity is far from enough to make up for the base's future power vacancies."

 Chen Xinian muttered and quickly thought of a solution.

 He picked up the Heroic Pen at hand and wrote his approval on the document.

 "Increase the working hours of the Fourth Life Warehouse, it has to reach a workload of 12 hours a day before it can obtain the nutrient solution."

 "Also, cut off power to them for 6 hours every night. By allowing them to spend less time playing with their cell phones and resting earlier, they won't cause unnecessary energy consumption."

 After signing, Chen Xinian put the documents to his hand, where there was already a thick pile of papers.

 Just at this time, his secretary Ge Rou knocked on the door and walked in, placing a report in front of him.

 "Leader, regarding the messages we received earlier, we have found out the results."

 "Most of the messages were released at the address of Villa 101 of Yunque Manor in the Heron River District."

 "However, there was one message that came from the cell phone of Lu Fengda, the chairman of Zhiyun Technology, with an address at Villa 302 of Yunque Manor."

 Chen Xinian sniffed and absently picked up the report.

 "Talk to me about the Zhang Yi mentioned in this message."

 There were too many words inside the report, and he was a little too lazy to read them.

 But hearing Lu Fengda's name, he still took a serious look at that message.

 Ge Rou told Chen Xinian Zhang Yi's information word for word.

 When he learned that Zhang Yi had been living in Tianhai City and was merely a small manager of a Walmart warehouse, Chen Xinian's expression immediately became tasteless.

 "A small warehouse manager only, it is impossible to be the mastermind of this matter. Even if he got any favors, it wouldn't be too much."

 "It's probably because he oversaw the theft during his past tenure and hid a lot of stolen supplies at home, which has sustained him until now!"

 Ge Rou hurriedly nodded and laughed, "You are right, Leader. I also don't think that a small supervisor could possibly be that capable of emptying an entire warehouse!"

 Chen Xinian smiled faintly with an expression that saw through everything.

 "This is all a conspiracy by the Mi Empire, they too must have sensed something was wrong before the arrival of the gamma rays, so they went ahead and caged back the supplies."

 "And yet they still want to engage in that whole paranormal incident thing, it's just self-deception!"

 Ge Rou smiled and complimented, "And how would they know that their ridiculous actions have long been seen through by you, Chief?"

 "Then, is it still necessary to investigate this Zhang Yi?"

 Chen Xinian's fingers tapped the table, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Let's send a few people over there to take a look in a while! We haven't searched that area of Lujiang either. Maybe we can find some supplies!"

 Ge Rou nodded, "Yes, I'll immediately arrange for a few people to go over and investigate!"

 This kind of small matter, Chen Xinian didn't put it on his mind much.

 And Ge Rou went to arrange for people to go out and investigate without mentioning it.

 Xu Family Town.

 Xu Dong Village.

 The villagers here also received the hundreds of messages.

 For the long-time news blockage of them, these messages are no different from the garbage SMS, and did not take it to heart.

 Instead, it was because there were message alerts all the time, making them curse in anger.

 There was only one person who took it seriously, and that was Xu Chunlei, the highest combatant of Xu Dong Village, the Ice and Snow ability user.

 After the last battle with Zhang Yi, Xu Chunlei had explained to the village the terrifying nature of Zhang Yi's strength.

 Although the people in the village were dissatisfied with the tragic death of their fellow clan members, out of fear of Zhang Yi, the patriarch Xu Dongsheng eventually stepped in and chose to put the matter to rest for the time being.

 The life of Xu Dong Village returned to calm, continuing to rely on the vegetables and grains they had hoarded in the beginning, as well as going to the ice to fish for fish to survive, at least they would not worry about the problem of food.

 The otaku Xu Chunlei, on the other hand, was deeply devastated by this.

 "Shouldn't I be the Chosen Son, possessing top-notch psychic abilities and then taking in countless beautiful women?"

 "Why is it that when I meet that person I only have to run away?"

 This kind of bitterness, which also stemmed from the villagers' disappointment in him, made him, a sensitive otaku, feel bad in his heart.

 So when he received a large amount of information and found words about Yunque Manor from it, he had a vague feeling that this matter might have something to do with the mysterious person who scared him away that day.

 "If I query through this information, will I get any useful information?"

 Xu Chunlei, as a die-hard otaku, still had some knowledge of computer applications.

 There was nothing else to do around, and even if he rewarded himself at most five or six times a day.

 He was a very restrained person.

 So in his spare time, Xu Chunlei started to analyze those information.
