Chapter 428: Chu Yue Yue

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Peace Town actually belongs to Chu Yue Yue…”

Zhao Yu thought for a while and opened his memory again to check the content of his time with Chu Yue Yue.

According to his memories, Chu Yue Yue was arrogant. She wanted to create her own world.

“Although she has Fang Yue E and gained control of Peace Town, she probably isn’t satisfied with just that…”

“Especially since Xu Jia Lu now presides over a city, Chu Yue Yue must have a lot of pent-up frustration…”

In his memories, Xu Jia Lu was more popular than Chu Yue Yue during their student days, a prominent figure in school.

When Zhao Yu was with Chu Yue Yue, he often heard her express for Xu Jia Lu, believing that women like her couldn’t escape the confines of their families and would ultimately be married off in a strategic union.

“Now, someone she once looked down upon is in a higher position than her…”

“Considering this, Chu Yue Yue’s plan might be to elevate Peace Town to city status?!”

“At least, to be on par with Black Rock City…”

Zhao Yu wasn’t sure about the obstacles involved in upgrading to a city status.

His predecessor was confined to an underground shelter, not interacting with influential figures.

After the apocalypse, most settlements were controlled by men, and his predecessor’s talents couldn’t be utilized. In contrast, Chu Yue Yue controlling Peace Town, if the predecessor knew, would probably be even more frustrating.

“It looks like I need to find someone to inquire about this…”

Zhao Yu pondered for a moment; among the people he knew, not many were qualified to know these details.

Those who might tell him were only his three ex-girlfriends.

Fang Yue E was immediately ruled out; she was too high-ranking, with the Fang Group’s business spanning two countries, an overwhelmingly powerful force beyond his current reach.

Zhao Yu was mainly worried that Fang Yue E hadn’t forgotten the past and might cause trouble for him, which he might not be able to handle.

After all, the Fang family controlled a nuclear weapons base, naturally dominating other wilderness forces.

“As for Chu Yue Yue…”

Zhao Yu hesitated a bit. He thought about directly contacting Chu Yue Yue.

But given her character, she wouldn’t reveal anything before her plans were achieved.

After all, they hadn’t seen each other for seven or eight years, and whether she retained her former personality was uncertain.

Most importantly, Zhao Yu felt that even if he reached out to Chu Yue Yue, she might not tell him.

It concerned her career, and even her ex-boyfriend wouldn’t have much influence.

“So, I have to start with Xu Jial L…”

Zhao Yu was relieved that Xu Jia Lu still seemed to care about him.

Otherwise, Xu Jia Lu wouldn’t have specifically sent Luo Bing with a satellite phone.

And after the call, she exhibited an uncontrollable fury.

If she didn’t care, why would she be so angry?

Thinking this, Zhao Yu couldn’t help but smile, casually instructing a nearby messenger, “Tell Meng Xian to bring Luo Bing here…”

Zhao Yu’s inner circle consisted mostly of robots, including messengers and maids, so there was no fear of leaking information.

Soon after, Meng Xian returned to Zhao Family Fortress with Luo Bing.

“Luo Bing, did you bring a charger? The satellite phone is low on battery…”

“Low battery?!”

Luo Bing was surprised. Before leaving, she had checked, and the battery was full. How had it drained so quickly?

However, she didn’t think too much of it. Before leaving, Xu Jia Lu had specifically instructed her to bring the charger and even hinted at it.

“Yes…” Luo Bing quickly took out her backpack and pulled out the charger.

As expected!

Zhao Yu inwardly chuckled; this was consistent with Xu Jia Lu’s personality. She had sent Luo Bing over, likely not just to scold him.

It was evident that she intended for Luo Bing to leave the phone there, to maintain frequent contact with Zhao Yu.

True to her prideful nature, she would never admit it.

After taking the charger, Zhao Yu sent Meng Xian and Luo Bing away.

After resting for half an hour, feeling it was about time, he called Xu Jia Lu again.

As expected, Xu Jia Lu had calmed down considerably, still not very pleasant, but at least willing to communicate.

Zhao Yu managed to extract quite a bit of secret information from Xu Jia Lu.

At the end of the call, he even got Chu Yue Yue’s phone number, which naturally angered Xu Jia Lu, who furiously told him not to call her again.

“This world doesn’t seem as closed-off as I imagined…”

From Xu Jia Lu, Zhao Yu learned that major conglomerates were not deeply involved in the construction of lower-level cities, only offering some help to those with connections.

Previously, he had thought that cities like Black Rock City were controlled by major powers.

However, Xu Jia Lu revealed that this was not the case. Wilderness cities fought independently, often engaging in warfare with each other.

Major conglomerates rarely got involved, and if they did help, it was just by selling high-end weapons at a low price.

But no city could obtain air warfare equipment like helicopters or fighter jets.

This appeared to be an unspoken agreement among the conglomerates, not to let these air dominance weapons fall into external hands.

Furthermore, these conglomerates seemed to be concentrated in a place called Sky City.

Or at least had branches there.

“Sky City, what secrets does it hold?”

Zhao Yu was curious. According to Xu Jia Lu, Sky City was a city that emerged after the apocalypse, far from Black Rock City, almost on the opposite hemisphere..
