Time passed day by day.

Lu Yuan didn't know how things were going with Ma Bin, and the other party hadn't sent any messages, which made Lu Yuan feel very uneasy.

"Has Ma Bin really fled our side? If he hands over the golden fruit to another department, I might be in danger! Sigh! I hope he's not that kind of person! I also hope he's more vigilant! I should have told him more!"

Lu Yuan stood by the fence, looking into the distance, and even felt a pang of regret.

"We haven't heard anything for a week. It's too dangerous to keep waiting like this. We need to make plans as soon as possible!"

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan reached out and touched the golden fruit in his pocket.

"Since we're going to take a risk, let's minimize it and make sure we don't leave them any leverage!"

After finishing his last cigarette, Lu Yuan stubbed it out on the railing, and the cigarette fell straight into the ruins below.

Over the next few days, Lu Yuan and the others kept inquiring about Shen Hu's whereabouts. This was because Lian Long San's factory had been urged to reopen, and it might face the risk of being taken back if it didn't open soon. Therefore, Long San was even more anxious than Lu Yuan at this moment, and he would come to see him every day without fail.

Having just finished loading and unloading a truckload of goods, Lu Yuan sat to the side chatting with the driver, Lao Chen, when suddenly he heard footsteps in the distance.

"Hey Lu, how come you're still in the mood for smoking? When are we making our move?"

Long San walked over with a look of anxiety on his face.

Lu Yuan didn't reply, but instead offered the other person a cigarette and asked, "Do you have any news from your side?"

Long San shook his head: "Not for now. It's practically impossible for you to wait for Shen Hu to leave his lair. He's very meticulous and rarely goes out!"

"You didn't get any information about the faction above him either?"

Long San scratched his head: "It's pretty much the same information you found out. Is this information even useful? We might as well just go and fight him!"

"Go straight to the point? Hmph, if that could solve the problem, I would have taken people there long ago. Why wait until now? We need to minimize the losses and make sure it doesn't affect the future opening of the factory!"

If we really kill Shen Hu now, and the higher-ups investigate, we won't be able to escape responsibility. So tell your men to stay put and not to make any rash moves that disrupt my plans. You'll be held accountable then!

Long San sighed and left.

The underground fortress's simulated lighting can simulate not only day and night, but even rainy days. However, rainy days are very rare, and the people above will only choose to bring rain when the amount of dust in the air reaches a certain level.

I looked up at the sky to see the time, as well as the temperature, humidity, and weather forecast.

"It's going to rain for the next three days, could that be a turning point?"

Lu Yuan muttered to himself, then opened the map and looked at the terrain map. Suddenly, he spotted a location.

"Sigh, this place seems to be a relatively important factory in District 9. It seems that there is always a lot of water here at this time of year!"

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan quickly found a computer that Long San had provided for him and began searching for information about the local rainfall.

"On March 22nd, four years into the apocalypse, a flood occurred in the ninth district of the third phase of the underground fortress industrial zone. Under the leadership of Shen Hu, the security team rescued supplies worth tens of millions and was commended..."

"On April 30th, four years after the apocalypse, a malfunction occurred in the underground water supply system of the ninth residential area in the third phase of the underground fortress industrial zone, causing a massive water leak and resulting in a flood that killed fifteen people..."

"On June 2nd, four years after the apocalypse, excessive rainfall caused severe flooding of equipment in the ninth section of the third phase of the underground fortress industrial zone, resulting in losses amounting to tens of millions..."

"..."

Looking at the string of numbers, Lu Yuan couldn't help but pinch his chin and start to think, then directly called Long San.

"Lu Yuan, what's up with your call? Are we about to take action?" Long San's voice carried a hint of anxiety.

Lu Yuan, however, asked calmly, "Is the terrain in District Nine very low?"

"Yes, why are you asking this?"

"Does that area always experience flooding whenever it rains, or has it been cleared up now?"

After a moment of silence, Long San said, "That's not necessarily true. Sometimes the rainfall is heavy, and sometimes it's light. Heavy rainfall can cause floods, but after several floods, the higher-ups have started to pay attention to District Nine. Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan asked, "Do you have the ability to direct all the rainfall to District Nine?"

"What? Send everything down to District Nine? Are you crazy? What are you trying to do?"

"Hehe, District Nine is the largest district in the entire industrial zone, and it is also the transportation hub for all places. The only way to get through there, besides reaching an agreement with Shen Hu, is to get him to give it up himself! Of course, the negotiations failed a few days ago. He had no intention of negotiating at all. So, I plan to get him to give it up voluntarily!"

"What? You want him to give it up willingly? How is that possible? Are you up to something again? This will affect whether my factory can open smoothly!"

"Yes! If the rainfall is heavy this time, it might flood the Seven Armies, which would force him to leave the Ninth District!"
