Because the textile factory buildings collapsed quite severely, the moving work was very slow. Fortunately, there were enough people, and Lu Yuan called some more people to help along the way, which was enough to clear out all the things in the textile factory.

Adhering to the principle of bringing as much as possible, the group searched through almost all the nearby factories.

...

Several more days passed, and the caves on the west side of the valley were all dug, about half a month later than the caves on the east side. Fortunately, Cao Shan came to help after finishing the caves on the west side, and they were finally able to complete all the projects.

The project acceptance process takes about two days. The eastern tunnel was successfully accepted immediately after it was dug, without any delays. Although there were some minor flaws, the overall quality was very good, which is commendable for the workers who only had simple tools.

Lu Yuan walked into the cave on the west side with a flashlight. The ground was uneven, and the entire cave was covered with urine stains, which smelled very pungent.

Then, a teammate walking in front suddenly slipped and fell, but fortunately Lu Yuan reacted quickly and grabbed him.

"Holy crap! Who the hell is taking a dump in this cave?! Is this even habitable anymore?" The team member was furious when he saw the excrement on his feet.

Lu Yuan finally couldn't hold back any longer. Suppressing his disgust, he turned to Huang Feng behind him and said, "Boss Huang, is this your job?"

Huang Feng said apologetically, "I'm sorry, but the main problem is that time is tight and the task is heavy. The brothers below are all trying to save time!"

"Hmph! Saving time? Saving time means you'll shit in this cave? How can anyone live here? Would you be happy if I shit in front of your house?"

The people standing nearby wanted to laugh, but they held it in, though their faces turned bright red from holding it in.

"Ahem! I'll get someone to handle this right away! Boss Lu, don't be angry! It's a minor issue! A minor issue!"

Huang Feng quickly shouted to the people behind him, "What the hell are you standing there for! Get your men and clean up the shit inside!"

The group covered their noses and continued walking inside. Apart from urination and defecation, there was man-made garbage everywhere in the cave, which was simply being used as an outdoor garbage dump.

After inspecting all the caves, Lu Yuan's face was so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from it.

"Boss Huang, this job you guys are doing is just a complete sham!"

"Well... hehe, Boss Lu, at least you finished it within the allotted time!"

"Hmph! Go see how Cao Shan and his team finished it! You've just sloppily done it!"

Lu Yuan grew angrier as he spoke, but there was nothing he could do. He was truly fed up with these people, but since his food had already been consumed by them, there was nothing he could do about it.

"Alright! Now that it's all done, you can go back!"

Huang Feng nodded, then gave an order to the person beside him.

"Boss Lu, what about the grain you promised before..."

"Food? I told you back then that the task needed to be completed on time and as needed. You must know what we need, right? Do you think you have the right to ask me for these things?"

Huang Feng was immediately enraged upon hearing this.

"Oh, Lu Yuan, so you've been playing us for a fool, haven't you? Now you're going to renege on your debt? You've really got some nerve!"

"It's not that you're refusing to pay your debts, it's that you have no right to take our things!"

"No way! What's ours is ours. If you don't give us what we want, we're not leaving!"

Huang Feng's face turned bright red, just like a ripe crab.

The people behind the other party were also shouting that they wouldn't leave until they received something.

"Heh! Fine! If you don't want to leave, then stay! But you won't get any of the stuff! Don't even think about it!"

After saying that, Lu Yuan turned around and left with his men.

Huang Feng and his group immediately frowned in anger.

"You bastard! Lu Yuan, you'll regret this!"

Lu Yuan left quickly and went straight to Du Heng's office, where Du Heng was busy with the final handover of the mission to Cao Shan's men.

"Boss Lu, you're here!" Cao Shan greeted Lu Yuan as soon as he saw him.

Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes, Cao Shan, you're going back now, so let me give you some more things!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Shan scratched the back of his head with an honest expression: "Well, Lu Yuan, don't be so polite. We're already very happy that you've given us a bite to eat, and you've also given us so many supplies. Please don't accept this. We're already very content with all this!"

Du Heng, standing to the side, gently patted the other man's shoulder: "Brother, don't be so polite, just accept it! We've been so grateful to your people these past few days, otherwise, we don't know when this cave would have been finished!"

"Hehe! Well... then I won't be polite!" Cao Shan really wanted it too. After all, who wouldn't want something in this era? But he was someone who didn't know how to hide his feelings, so he could only try his best to refuse in his own way.

Du Heng then asked, "Lu Yuan, what gift do you plan to give Brother Cao Shan?"

Lu Yuan handed a key to the other person: "Here, the car is parked outside for you. A whole carload of diluted catalyst, enough for you to use for a long time! But you have to use it sparingly! Once it's used up, it's gone!"

Cao Shan froze on the spot after hearing this: "What? A catalyst... This... This is too valuable! I... I can't accept it!"
