After pondering for a long time, Lu Yuan decided to come out of the room first.

After all, the smell in the room was just too strong; he really couldn't take it out.

After stepping outside, Lu Yuan was panting heavily, and his body still smelled foul.

Xiao Shan was sitting two meters away from him talking to him, which made Lu Yuan feel very annoyed.

"Surely it's not that bad, do I still smell that strongly?"

Xiao Shan nodded vigorously: "Yes, the smell of insects is not only pungent, but it also stings my eyes. I have to stay away from you now. Can't you feel it?"

Lu Yuan shook his head slightly: "Hey, never mind then. In that case, I'll go change my clothes and take a shower first. This thing doesn't seem suitable for processing at home."

However, the military seems to have some connections when it comes to acquiring these things. We can try our luck when we get there. I'll talk to them and see what happens.

Xiao Shan strongly agreed with Lu Yuan's idea.

So Lu Yuan first cleaned up the bugs in the kitchen and kept the range hood running.

In order to restore the kitchen to its normal smell as soon as possible, Lu Yuan even lit a few sticks of sandalwood incense to neutralize the smell in the room.

After washing up and changing his clothes, Lu Yuan's odor lessened considerably.

However, he also had a faint, unpleasant odor, which was negligible.

So Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan found the local acquisition manager on the channel.

The person in charge of the acquisition told Lu Yuan that if he wanted to supply in large quantities, he first had to provide his qualifications and the approximate fixed quantity of each person per year, month, and day.

In this way, they can guarantee the size of their production plant.

Lu Yuan looked at the dense swarm of insects outside, but couldn't come up with a good number to describe it. So he casually said, "I hope there are about a hundred tons of insects."

Then the other party sent Lu Yuan a document, which required him to fill in his qualification certificates, identity information and other various things.

The most important thing is that after these contracts are signed, it is necessary to ensure that a sufficient supply of insects is provided every year.

If the annual target cannot be met, then a short-term or one-time supplementary measure can be taken.

After all, once the insects are all dead, they may never be around again, so having companies and the military to handle these matters makes things much easier.

People in the city have started arguing and fighting over more insects, which surprised Lu Yuan.

After all, they used to be so humble, staying at home and struggling to survive, but now they're fighting tooth and nail for a few bugs.

There was no way around it; Lu Yuan had already experienced enough of humanity after the apocalypse.

All he wants now is to live a good life with his family; there's no need to fight them for these insects.

First, Lu Yuan told his family about it. In order to get a better price, Lu Yuan also negotiated terms with the acquiring party.

That means they process the insects by removing their heads and claws, so that they can sell the insects directly at a higher price.

However, Lu Yuan certainly couldn't complete such a large workload on his own.

So an idea popped into his head: since the fighting in the city was already at its worst, he could recruit some people here, build his own factory, and then transport all the insects to the factory, process them, and send them over.

I just did what I thought of. Anyway, the bugs are basically not jumping around anymore. It's like God gave them a disaster, or it's like God gave them a meal.

Therefore, everyone cherishes this time, especially when these things are rampant. It is a golden opportunity for them, and no one wants to waste it.

Thus began the search for the insects. Lu Yuan, along with Wang Mingming, Hei Zi, Zhou Tong, and a few others, went to a middleman's office in the city and found the staff there.

They need to open a temporary job fair here and then bring people from the city to work on private land.

Xiaoshan and Shiquan have now started building the factory. The factory is very large, but the tools inside are very simple.

A long bench and some stools and tables, and the rest is a long conveyor belt.

The conveyor belt is used to hold the bodies of these insectoids. The insectoids are sent to the packaging box little by little through the conveyor belt, just like an assembly line. It is very simple, but very fast.

And so, on the first day of recruitment, no one was willing to come.

Nothing happened the next day either, and Lu Yuan felt as if their trip had been in vain.

About a week later, when Lu Yuan took his people there again, he found a group of people standing in front of his recruitment booth. Lu Yuan didn't know what they did, but they all looked very anxious.

"Um, what brings you here?"

Lu Yuan glanced at them and asked cautiously.

In this apocalyptic world, robberies are commonplace.

Who knows what these people are up to? Lu Yuan isn't afraid of them, but he's afraid of getting himself into trouble.

After all, the security of the entire city is now controlled by the military. If someone is killed or injured here, it could cause some trouble for me.

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's question, the leader hurriedly turned around to look at him, then pointed to the roller shutter behind him: "Are you the owner of this shop?"

After listening, Lu Yuan shook his head slightly: "Oh, I'm not the boss, I'm just an agent recruiting people. Are you looking for jobs?"

As soon as Lu Yuan finished asking, the other party hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, we're all here to apply for jobs. How many people does your factory need? I can bring people and start working right away!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Yuan was taken aback: "What's going on? How come so many people have come all of a sudden?"

"Hey, insects are practically endangered these days, who cares about anything else? By the way, are your salaries and benefits calculated according to our rates?"

Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes, the price is calculated according to the unified requirements of the city, so you don't need to worry about that. In short, you won't lose money!"

The other party breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

So he sat down on a chair and called out to the crowd.

"Everyone, our big spender has arrived! Please be patient, I'll go and talk to him!"

After speaking, the other person turned to look at Lu Yuan.

"Then let's talk about cooperation!"
