Lu Yuan now provides three meals a day for everyone who works. As long as they go out to work, they will have food to eat, and each person will have at least one meal of meat per week.

Although Lu Yuan received better treatment at the previous camp, it was mainly because the conditions there were much better and the planting area was much larger, unlike here, where there is basically no place to grow crops except for the narrow valley floor.

Then Lu Yuan found Zhou Tong.

"Brother Zhou Tong, I have a favor to ask you!"

Zhou Tong looked surprised: "Don't take it so seriously, you're making me a little nervous!"

"Haha! The main problem is that there's no one else available in the camp, so we have to send you!"

"Okay! As long as you don't leave me idle, that's fine. So, what's up?"

"It's a batch of timber, and it's all within the territory of the United States. Although their people promised not to arbitrarily seize our timber, I'm still a little worried. You're a veteran member, and I think no one is more suitable than you!"

"Oh! So that's what it is! But why are you gathering so much timber? And I've seen quite a few people chopping up this timber and leaving it to dry these past few days. Are you planning to prepare for winter or what?"

"Getting through the winter? Heh, that's a plausible explanation!"

Zhou Tong, being quick-witted, instinctively asked, "Could the upcoming disaster be related to this timber?"

"Maybe! Anyway, we need to prepare for winter, and store up all our food and other necessities to get through the winter!"

"Haha! I think we should give our plan a name!"

"Naming a child?" At the mention of naming a child, Lu Yuan couldn't help but cover his forehead, as he was really bad at it.

"I've already thought it through. Since we're stockpiling food for winter, how about we call our plan the Hamster Plan?"

"The Hamster Plan?" Lu Yuan smacked his lips and muttered to himself.

"Hey! You know what, it actually looks pretty convincing!"

But then Zhou Tong couldn't help but sigh: "Since you know that winter is coming, why did you exchange the grain you worked so hard to get for this timber?"

Lu Yuan gave a wry smile, then pointed to the barren mountain and said, "Look, do we still have any trees here?"
