Ice Apocalypse (Season 2)

Chapter 231 No Heaven

Next, Director Xu arranged for people to take Liang Yue and a group of students to do deep cleaning.
Wu Chengyu also planned to leave with everyone else.But Director Xu said, "You come with me!"Wu Chengyu's eyes lit up at the words, and he happily said to his classmates, "Didn't I tell you? My dad is not an ordinary person here."His classmates cast envious glances at Wu Chengyu.Wu Chengyu happily walked up to Director Xu and Wu Jianguo.Wu Jianguo leaned in and whispered to him, "Xiaoyu, you must obey your superiors here! Whatever Director Xu asks you to do, you do it, understand?"Wu Chengyu nodded happily. He thought he would be assigned to some good job next.Director Xu walked over with a smile, "Xiaoyu, come with me!"While Liang Yue and the others went down the left passage, Wu Chengyu was taken away separately by Director Xu.Everyone's eyes were full of envy."How lucky!"...Wu Chengyu followed Director Xu as they navigated through the shelter. The underground area of the Xishan shelter was very large. Although the temperature wasn't very high, it was around six or seven degrees Celsius.He was very curious about the surroundings all the way.And there were soldiers in white military uniforms with guns guarding everywhere.Everything looked exceptionally strict. There weren't many pedestrians, but they were all in a hurry, each busy with their own affairs, presenting a well-ordered scene.Director Xu led Wu Chengyu to a separate room.She pointed to the bathroom and said, "Go take a bath first."Wu Chengyu felt somewhat strange.There were women's clothes in the room, as if it were someone's bedroom.But at this moment, Wu Chengyu didn't think much about it. It had been too long since he had a bath. Upon hearing the news that he could take a hot shower, he couldn't wait to rush in.After half an hour, he came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.But as soon as he opened the door and saw the scene in front of him, Wu Chengyu stood there dumbfounded.The room's lights had turned into an ambiguous pink color, emanating from rose-shaped bedside lamps.Director Xu was lying on the bed in a large piece of lingerie, propping her head up with one hand, looking at him seductively.Her two thick legs were like two piles of fat pork piled together."What are you waiting for? Come over here!"Director Xu smiled and patted the bed....On the other side, Liang Yue and the students finished their showers, and someone had prepared new clothes for them.The clothes were all in uniform, dull gray, not attractive at all, but very convenient for movement."Follow me! I'll take you to where you'll live and work in the future."A woman who looked like a leader walked over, saying lightly.Behind her were two soldiers with weapons.A gloomy feeling arose in everyone's hearts.Life inside this shelter was completely different from what they had imagined!The students were very uneasy.This was deep underground, dim lights, and armed soldiers, making them feel like they were in prison.They could only huddle together tightly and look to Liang Yue for help.At this moment, they could only pray that Liang Yue, their responsible teacher, would protect them.Liang Yue frowned slightly but said nothing.Without understanding the rules here yet, it wasn't wise to act rashly.Liang Yue quietly put her finger to her lips, gesturing for the students not to speak.Everyone nodded in understanding.Under Liang Yue's lead, they obediently followed the female leader forward.The shelter was too large, with a network of corridors below.After a while, they had no idea where they were going or where they were located.The overhead lights looked dim, occasionally flickering, making the exhausted students all look pale.However, fortunately, this situation soon came to an end.The female leader led them to a huge workshop.After the door opened, they saw a huge underground cave, three meters high and thousands of square meters in area!After the door opened, there was a creaking sound.Liang Yue and the students were amazed to find that there were a lot of bicycles inside!Those bicycles were fixed to the ground.There were at least over a thousand people inside, pedaling hard on the bikes.The scene was spectacular; if you didn't know, you'd think it was some kind of large gym exercise scene.However, the expressions of those people riding bicycles didn't look like they were exercising; they were numb, rigid, tired, but no one dared to stop."What are these people doing?"A rich girl was stunned.The female leader glanced at them and looked at Liang Yue, saying, "This is where you will work in the future.""Your job is to generate electricity for the base. These stationary bikes are actually generators connected to the base's power system.""The base's rules of conduct will be given to each of you later."The female leader's expression was extremely calm, without any impatience, but this calmness made people feel a little scared.Because her attitude seemed to be facing not a group of survivors, but a group of tools.Finally, she emphasized, "Remember, if you want to stay in the base, you must fully obey the base's rules! Otherwise, the consequences will be severe."After briefly introducing the situation of the base, the female leader began to demand them to start working with a stern face.A girl suddenly burst into tears, pulling Liang Yue's sleeve, "Teacher Liang, Teacher Liang..."She cried and sobbed, calling Liang Yue's name for a long time, but she didn't know what she wanted to say.This feeling was understood by other students as well.Because everyone had been struck by the harsh reality.After arriving at the shelter, this oppressive living environment felt like a sweatshop from two centuries ago! Although they lived dangerously at Tianqing Academy, at least they had some freedom. Liang Yue also protected them.The female leader remained unmoved by the girl's tears. "Crying is allowed, but you must work first." Liang Yue quickly comforted the girl. "Let's all go to work first!" With two armed soldiers beside the female leader, Liang Yue didn't dare to take any risks. Originally, she thought this was an official shelter, and they would be properly resettled after arriving. But now it seemed she was too naive. A group of crying students followed Liang Yue to pedal the bicycles together....In Director Xu's room, under the red light, Director Xu was putting on clothes on her obese body. She had a satisfied expression, indicating that the new arrival had left a good impression. After dressing, she pushed the door and walked out. Wu Jianguo had been squatting outside. When he saw Director Xu, he came over with a flattering smile. "Director Xu! Are you satisfied with my son's service?" Director Xu glanced at him and smiled in satisfaction. "Not bad! No wonder you're Director Wu's son; you're quite skilled in bed. Did you pass on your expertise to him?" Wu Jianguo smiled wryly. "Oh, where would that come from! Please don't address me like that; those are all things of the past." Director Xu said lightly, "You help me clean up behind. I'll have the logistics department take care of you two in the future, giving you more supplies." Wu Jianguo was ecstatic, nodding and bowing. "Thank you, Director Xu! Thank you, Director Xu! If you need anything in the future, just give me the order, and I'll bring him over immediately!" Director Xu wiggled her bulky buttocks and left in satisfaction. Wu Jianguo's eyes darkened. He opened the door. Under the red light, the room was filled with a strong scent of hormones and the smell of blood. Wu Chengyu sat on the bed wrapped in a sheet, his eyes unfocused. His body was bruised, and there were spots of blood on the sheet, making it hard to imagine what he had experienced during this time. Wu Jianguo closed the door and sighed. "Son, are you okay?" He walked over, saying, "To survive here, you must learn to accept everything." "It's okay; you'll get used to it." Wu Chengyu looked up at his father, tears streaming down his cheeks. "Dad, why didn't you tell me earlier that it was like this here? You're the director of XX Bureau, aren't you? Why is it like this?" He couldn't understand. Shouldn't he have come here to continue being a second-generation official? Zhao Jianguo sat on the edge of the bed, his voice low. "Now, this is how it is here. My title as director is useless." He slowly recounted to his son what had happened here since the apocalypse. At first, the people who came here were the top figures of Tianhai City, as well as their families. Zhao Jianguo's status in Tianhai City seemed not low, but his power was not at the top level. After all, the nature of his unit determined his position. On the night the snow disaster struck, he was also notified by acquaintances at the last minute and hurried over. Everyone in Xishan Base was high-ranking officials and their families, all from the main branches of Tianhai's major families. Wu Jianguo's status could only be considered middle to lower level, with no ability to mobilize troops to save Wu Chengyu. "At first, people here got along fairly well." "According to experts, this snow disaster was supposed to last one or two months and then end. By then, everyone could go back to their work." "At that time, we still respected each other. After all, cooperation was needed after coming out." "But not long after, things changed. Some people found that the impact of the supernova explosion on Blue Planet was bigger than imagined." "The world officially entered an ice age, which might last three to five years, or even thirty to fifty years." Wu Jianguo's voice was heavy. "This also means that the identities and status we used to have will no longer exist." "Gradually, those who wielded armed forces became the leaders of the Xishan organization." Wu Jianguo looked at his son, his tone heavy. "In any society where there are human activities, there will be class divisions." "Even without ordinary people, providers and rulers will be separated from among us." "Everything happening today is your first lesson in surviving in Xishan." "To survive, the lower class must unconditionally obey the rulers. You should be happy; perhaps this is your way out of the current class." Wu Jianguo squeezed out a smile, patting his son's head. "Even if it means using your body and selling your charms, it doesn't matter. In this circle, as long as you can succeed, nothing cannot be sacrificed."
