Lu Yuan patted Zhang Li on the shoulder as a form of recognition, and then said some encouraging words, which turned these unfortunate women into fiercely motivated wolves.
"Brother Yuan, breakfast is ready!"
Just then, Luo Qingcheng walked over.
Her face was flushed, and she dared not look Lu Yuan in the eye.
As for why his face was flushed, Lu Yuan knew, Luo Qingcheng knew, but no one else knew.
This is a little secret between the two of them.
Of course, Luo Qingcheng would never tell anyone.
However, Lu Yuan had no intention of giving up his plan to tease Luo Qingcheng:
Are you alright? Do you have a cold or fever?
"Why is your face so red?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingcheng blushed even more.
"Well, it's probably because the weather is too hot."
Is it too hot?
Lu Yuan chuckled to himself.
It's only April!
However, Lu Yuan did not intend to continue the conversation. After all, the girl was shy, and teasing her occasionally was harmless.
Saying too much would be considered indecent.
"With more people, there are more people eating, and Sun Yuansheng and Sun Siyuan are clearly too busy to handle everything."
"So we had no choice but to have Cai Zhiying and Zhao Qiang assist us."
Fortunately, there is no shortage of food here, but there is not much vegetable.
"Old Lu, I think..."
As soon as he picked up his rice bowl, Lin Feng, the chatterbox, started talking.
"Let's eat. Whatever we need to say, we can talk after we finish eating!"
Lin Feng shrugged and remained silent.
So everyone gathered in a group, and the scene suddenly became quiet, except for the sound of chewing food.
Lu Yuan was pondering a question.
Taiping Town is actually a very nice place, surrounded by mountains on two sides, with a national highway running through it from north to south.
One side connects to Ping'an County, while the other side extends directly to Xuanwu City.
There is also a river. This place is neither very large nor very small.
Lu Yuan thought this place would be a good base; in fact, he had been thinking about this issue last night.
To develop, one must first have one's own territory; otherwise, no matter how strong one is, one is no different from a rootless duckweed.
Or rather, you can only go to a certain city and become the leader of a faction.
If you own your own territory, it's like Su Changchun in Wanxiang Gathering Place.
That was definitely the existence of a local tyrant.
What do you think of the geographical location of Taiping Town?
After breakfast, Lu Yuan began discussing the topic he wanted to discuss that day.
Lin Feng had actually wanted to bring this up before dinner, but Lu Yuan stopped him.
Now that Lu Yuan has asked, he is naturally the first to step forward and answer.
"With mountains, water, and food, it's great."
"I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I didn't expect we'd both be thinking the same thing. We really are a perfect match..."
Lin Feng shut his mouth before he could finish speaking.
Because Lu Yuan was glaring at him fiercely, meaning he was warning him not to talk nonsense.
"Brother Yuan, are you planning to build your own base here?"
Gong Yuehan immediately guessed Lu Yuan's purpose.
Lu Yuan shook his head and began to correct the grammatical errors in Gong Yuehan's words:
"Establishing a base is a certainty, but it doesn't belong to me personally, it belongs to everyone!"
"Just as the madman said, there are mountains, water and food here, so there should be no problem with the initial development."
"Surrounded by mountains on two sides, this serves as a natural barrier. With two entrances and exits, defense is easy; it's a place where you can attack or defend as you please!"
"Even if a large number of zombies or monsters come from Xuanwu City and we can't defeat them, we can still blow up that bridge in front of us."
"As for the other side, it poses almost no threat, after all, there are Ping'an County and Tai'an settlement as barriers and buffers."
As Lu Yuan spoke, he picked up a chopstick and made simple drawings on the ground.
"But what if there are monsters or demonic beasts on the mountain?"
Yu Huanshui, who rarely spoke, finally asked a question.
Lu Yuan found the question somewhat amusing:
"Huanshui, have you been so infatuated with love lately that you've lost your mind?"
"Our profession is spirit tamers, are we afraid of magical beasts and monsters?"
"We kill the weak ones and use them as food, while we subdue the powerful monsters."
"As the saying goes, hunters are not afraid of tigers, and fishermen are not afraid of blue dragons!"
"Are we snake catchers afraid that the snakes are poisonous?"
Everyone agreed with this statement.
And so the matter was decided amicably.
Next, we began to discuss how to build the city.
Building a city is a massive undertaking, and the first problem to solve is the issue of materials.
Building a base definitely requires a wall. Housing can be disregarded for now, but a wall is a must.
“I remember seeing it yesterday afternoon when we passed by. There’s a cement factory in Taiping Town.”
"The cement problem can basically be solved. Also, there are steel bars for sale along the national highway. If it's not enough, we can transport them from other places."
"One good thing about the apocalypse is that you don't have to pay for anything; whoever takes it keeps it."
"Materials are not a big problem. We can just dig them out of the sand and gravel in the river. What we lack most right now is workers, because we know nothing about construction."
Lu Yuan's head started to hurt as he spoke.
Where would you find so many people in the apocalypse?
With only about 30 people, building a city is simply a pipe dream!
At this moment, Luo Qingcheng, whose complexion had returned to normal, spoke.
This is also an opportunity for her, an opportunity to prove her worth.
"Brother Yuan, I'll take care of the manpower and stuff."
"If this place is really established as a base, it will definitely be larger than the Tai'an settlement."
"In this way, we might be able to attract all the people from that side in the future."
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow:
What are your requirements?
Lu Yuan didn't simply believe that Luo Qingcheng would help him unconditionally.
Even if she were willing, would the Luo family be willing?
Luo Qingcheng bit her lip:
"It's not really a request. What I mean is, if we need people or equipment, I can have the Luo family take care of it."
"We're willing to provide anything, including funds, as long as the settlement is established and the Luo family has a place to stay!"
"I have no other requests, I've decided to follow Brother Yuan for the rest of my life!"
Luo Qingcheng's words can be seen as a statement of her attitude, and of course, there are two meanings to this statement.
In this life, will I follow Lu Yuan as his subordinate or live my life with him?
That depends on how others interpret it.
Anyway, Luo Qingcheng's face started to turn red again.
To be honest, no base really likes having such a large force move in, as it can easily lead to an uncontrollable situation.
Therefore, Luo Qingcheng was afraid that Lu Yuan would feel disgusted and resistant.
Gong Yuehan wanted to say something, but in the end, she wisely kept her mouth shut.
Lu Yuan wasn't stupid. It was easy for him to refuse, but who would help him build the city?
Of course, this situation also occurred in ancient times, and the best solution was marriage alliance.
Lu Yuan glanced at Luo Qingcheng; in truth, he was willing.
"As long as it doesn't involve core management, and you follow the base's arrangements, that's fine."
Lu Yuan finally said this!
