On the third day of the power outage, Lu Yuan and his team were in relatively good condition.

Besides the temperature reaching 45 degrees Celsius, the air was filled with suffocating moisture.

Even when sitting still, people feel themselves constantly sweating.

Lu Yuan was at a loss. He wanted to get something better for everyone, but with so many people, he simply couldn't take care of them all.

So he specifically chose a room and installed a small generator inside to provide electricity.

The room was dimly lit by a few small light bulbs.

A small air conditioner on the wall was blowing cool air continuously.

Lu Yuan, Hou Ming and his wife, and Song Qiang were playing mahjong in the room.

They chatted and swung their cards with smiles on their faces.

Lu Yuan no longer had the mind to argue with Chen Han and the others, since he was fine on his own side anyway.

There is food and water available. Although it is a bit hot outside, people can generally get through it because there is food and water.

...

Mid-level central hospital.

This place is completely different from the rest of the middle level.

The room was brightly lit, although there were occasional commotions outside, clearly because there was no food and the people below were making a fuss.

Long Yue and Chen Han sat in the office without saying a word.

There was an empty bag on the table.

"This is the last bag of potato chips! We're completely out of food!"

Long Yue was somewhat pessimistic. This food was something she had painstakingly saved up. Although she didn't usually like eating snacks, she was so hungry that she had no choice but to rely on this food to survive.

Chen Han sighed helplessly: "Alright! Stop talking! Let's save our energy for figuring out a solution! Are the people outside still causing trouble?"

"Yeah! They're planning to break in! But even if they do, there's nothing we can do! Damn it, killing that bastard was too easy! All the food we managed to save up has been destroyed by termites!"

At this point, Long Yue gritted her teeth in anger.

Chen Han waved his hand weakly: "Why say all this! Time can't be turned back!"

However, after saying that, Chen Han's eyes lit up immediately.

"That's right! Didn't Lu Yuan say they had more food than they could eat? If he has enough food to feed hundreds of thousands of people, then they must have a large granary!"

At this point, a hint of surprise flashed in Long Yue's eyes.

"Yes! We completely forgot about that! Shall we go find them now?"

"Hmm! The workers down there are starving anyway! Instead of letting them waste their energy arguing with us, let them go find Lu Yuan! Let's shift the blame! That way, we'll have less pressure! And we might even be able to get some food!"

Long Yue exclaimed with delight, "That's right! Let's set off now!"

So the two of them went downstairs together.

Outside the building stood a group of people dressed in tattered clothes, angrily waving sticks and demanding that the Long Group produce grain.

The guards stood ready, gripping their guns tightly, prepared to open fire without hesitation if these people rushed in.

There are only a few hundred people left in the Long Group's garrison.

The garrison, which previously numbered over ten thousand, has now been streamlined to this extent, prompting Chen Han and Long Yue to sigh with regret upon seeing it.

Upon seeing people enter, the crowd outside immediately moved forward.

The secretary standing to the side was sweating profusely as she looked at Long Yue and Chen Han.

"President Long, President Chen, it's too dangerous outside! We shouldn't go!"

Chen Han waved her hand slightly and said, "It's alright! I need to tell them something now! Something about surviving!"

A hint of joy flashed in the secretary's eyes upon hearing this.

He had been drinking water for the past few days and had almost forgotten what it felt like to be full. But when he heard Chen Han say that he would find them food, a green glint flashed in his eyes, like a hungry wolf.

Meanwhile, the workers outside were almost all so hungry that their eyes were practically glowing green.

The guards stood ready, watching over Chen Han and Long Yue. They didn't appear together very often, so seeing them together now meant they were going to give everyone an explanation.

Chen Han looked at the angry crowd, reached out to calm them down, and then stood on a high platform and shouted to the people below.

"Brothers! Please stop arguing! Let me say a few words!"

After saying that, Chen Han felt even hungrier after shouting.

He forced back the acid reflux surging in his stomach and took a megaphone from a teammate beside him.

"Ahem! Brothers! It's me, Chen Han. Give me some face! I have something to say to you all!"

The crowd below became even more agitated. After all, not many people had actually met Chen Han. They all knew that there was such a person in the company, and that he was very capable, to the point that even Long Yue had to listen to him.

After a short while, the people below finally stopped arguing and stared at Chen Han above with wide eyes.

Chen Han swallowed hard and said, "Brothers, it's not that we're not giving out food! It's that we're all starving ourselves! If you don't believe me, you can go to our canteen and see for yourselves! We've run out of food too! It's really not that we're withholding food from you!"
