"Not bad, Vice President Zhou's constitution is still quite good!"
Yu Yuan put the [Eavesdropping Stethoscope] back into the Rabbit Ring. Although Zhou Yuan had already agreed to cooperate, Yu Yuan ultimately still needed to verify it.
Fortunately, Zhou Yuan genuinely wanted to collaborate, which allowed Yu Yuan to proceed with the next step of his plan.
Yu Yuan took out the [Commander Subordinate Chip] injector and explained the relevant information to Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan naturally understood he had no other choice.
The injection proceeded smoothly, and the chip was successfully activated.
Yu Yuan also saw Zhou Yuan's trust index—62.
It could be said it was just within the passing range of trustworthiness.
Yu Yuan had already anticipated this. For now, he was quite satisfied with the current data.With everything settled, the two immediately left the Motel Main Guest Room.
Zhou Yuan followed Yu Yuan out of the main guest room, only to find himself back in his own room.
Although he had already witnessed the black rat's miraculous abilities before, experiencing it again now still left him feeling somewhat incredulous.
His gaze shifted back and forth between the room and the door.
Puzzled, Zhou Yuan opened the door again.
But what he saw was the ever-unchanging, mottled corridor of the logistics building.
"This..."
Zhou Yuan closed the door again, his gaze towards Yu Yuan filled with complexity.
However, upon closer inspection, a faint, almost imperceptible trace of joy and excitement could be seen deep within his eyes.
It was the joy of having bet on the right horse.
"Since that's the case, I'll take my leave now!"
With the main business concluded, Yu Yuan prepared to depart.
"Sir, I will obtain the answer to the matter you entrusted me with as soon as possible," Zhou Yuan said seriously, looking at Yu Yuan. He had immediately adjusted to his new position.
Although nominally, theirs was a cooperative relationship, Zhou Yuan understood that with the other party's methods, eliminating him or taking over their Black Rock Caravan would be as easy as turning over a hand.
Not to mention anything else, just that rat alone, if it ambushed them at night, they would have no room for resistance whatsoever.
"Good!" Yu Yuan said no more.
He walked to the balcony, about to leave, but after a moment's thought, he looked back at Zhou Yuan.
"I almost forgot to tell you something. At most, there's only one week left before a half-year-long Extreme Cold disaster arrives. Prepare supplies quickly! Time is running out!"
The next moment, Yu Yuan directly vanished from the third-floor balcony using [Shadow Stride].
Zhou Yuan was momentarily stunned upon hearing the news of the Extreme Cold disaster. By the time he snapped out of it, Yu Yuan was nowhere to be seen on the balcony.
The outdoor temperature had already dropped to 6 degrees Celsius. The cold sea breeze blew against Zhou Yuan, making him shiver.
He immediately went to the balcony and looked down, but only saw the pitch-black night sky, with not a single figure in sight.
Zhou Yuan felt the darkness outside had never seemed so profound before.
However, he quickly regained his composure.
"At most one week... Extreme Cold disaster... lasting half a year!"
His expression turned extremely grim. He understood the meaning of those words all too well.
Immediately, he didn't even think about resting and promptly left the room...

After leaving the logistics building, Yu Yuan ducked into the sewer and headed towards the eastern city district.
Hans had just sent over some photos and information.
"Those two who went to the feed factory late at night should be the Thug Prison's Executor, Blackfire, and another mechanical transformer, Gus. Something must have happened within the Mechanical Vanguard Society; otherwise, the supplies destined for Green Forest City wouldn't have suddenly turned back. But what exactly happened?"
"The news a couple of days ago said that the Humpback Whale became hostile after learning from the Ring East City Resistance Alliance that the Thug Prison possesses mechanical transformers. I hope Zhou Yuan can clarify this matter tomorrow, so we can make subsequent arrangements."
A rough outline of a plan began to form in his mind.
Now, it depended on whether he could obtain more intelligence to flesh out this skeletal plan.
Supplies!
No one ever thinks they have enough.
But snatching supplies from the hands of the Mechanical Vanguard Society wouldn't be easy.
Yu Yuan needed to find someone to sacrifice.
Soon, Yu Yuan returned to the shelter and entered the Starry Sky Observatory through the Escape Door.
Seven days had passed, and today was the time for the Celestial Phenomenon Card to coalesce again.
Because he had gone to the Radio Station to gather supplies and spent considerable time with Zhou Yuan, it was now past 3 AM.
At a glance, Yu Yuan saw the card floating up and down with the starlight in front of the Starry Sky Mirror.
As Yu Yuan approached, the card slowly descended into his hand.
With just one look, Yu Yuan's heart gave a sudden leap.
"It's a golden-yellow glow! A Gold-tier card..."
The Book of Fate unfolded, recording this Celestial Phenomenon Card. Yu Yuan looked at the card's information.
[Celestial Phenomenon - Mysterious Twin Stars' Aid]
Quality: Gold
Introduction: There exists such a peculiar celestial phenomenon in the universe: two identical planets attract and rotate around each other. Therefore, if one planet is found, the other is bound to follow.
Function: Upon use, can duplicate one item.
————————————
"This..."
Yu Yuan looked at the introduction of the Celestial Phenomenon Card on the Virtual Light Screen.
Although the function description was quite brief, how could Yu Yuan not understand the meaning of that short sentence?
"Duplicate one item... duplicate..."
His gaze shifted back to the content in the card's introduction.
Identical planets... attracting each other... rotating around each other...
"This card must be used well!"
Closing the Virtual Light Screen, Yu Yuan returned to the shelter.
Tonight's gains were substantial, and he had finally gathered all the construction materials for that Epic-tier facility, the [Radio Station].
He immediately chose to start construction. Because the [Radio Station] possessed an additional independent space, Yu Yuan thought for a moment and decided to build it on the Third Floor for now.
He built it on the wall between the living room and Yu Yuan's Rest Area.
This way, Fang could use the [Radio Station] to monitor surrounding radio station signals when she had time.
Currently, besides this still-under-construction [Radio Station], the shelter had two other Epic-tier facilities: the [Treadmill Generator Room] and the [Pit Trap].
One facility helped Yu Yuan solve the energy problem, and the other helped him deal with the threat of the Giant Mutant Rat.
Their merits were outstanding.
The construction time for this [Radio Station] required a full 20 hours. Not only were the construction material costs enormous, but the construction time was also the longest.
Precisely because of this, Yu Yuan felt increasingly eager anticipation for this Epic-tier [Radio Station].
"The shelter's space is still a bit too small..."
Finally, with this thought in mind, Yu Yuan slowly fell asleep.
