When the meeting began, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became even more solemn.
The whispers subsided, but everyone's eyes were filled with confusion.
Everyone wanted to know what the topic of today's meeting was.
The old man gently leaned on his cane, sat in the highest position, and glanced at everyone.
"Alright, let me tell you about the contents of this meeting."
Everyone present stared intently at the old man, wondering what he was going to say.
"First and foremost, the first thing concerns the camp's leadership team. From now on, all management work within the entire camp will be jointly undertaken by our Future Faraway Company!"
From the military to the guards, everything, big and small, is managed by us. If anyone feels uncomfortable, please leave the camp!
Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately taken aback.
Actually, it's not a big deal; it's just that everyone is used to living in a peaceful place.
But what the old man was saying seemed to be that you are now under our control, so you must obey us, or you can get out.
These words made everyone feel very uncomfortable, and they immediately expressed their dissatisfaction with the old man on stage.
However, no one dared to directly stand up and object. After all, the entire camp was developed by Lu Yuan's people. It was just that the old man was taking care of his own grandson's affairs. To put it bluntly, there was nothing wrong with that. Besides, everyone was here to survive. If they cared about saving face, what would be the point of living?
Then the old man continued to speak.
"The second thing is about our food supply. From now on, all food will no longer be provided for free. It will be distributed according to the amount of food we contribute."
I'll show you our food distribution plan in a bit!
The moment these words were spoken, the entire scene erupted in chaos.
People whispered among themselves, their faces showing helplessness and anger.
"Why? Why are you cutting off our food supply? We're only getting thin porridge every day now, and even that's not enough!"
"Yes, we're still young and have so many serious injuries, how can we start working?"
"No, I've broken a leg, and even walking is very difficult for me. If I were to start a job, where would I be assigned?"
Almost half of the people present had some kind of injury, and when the old man mentioned making them work, everyone was in an uproar.
After all, they had only rested for less than a week before being asked to return to work, and everyone harbored a sense of resentment.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lu Yuan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
These people are acting like they're some kind of bodhisattva.
But they don't seem to realize that even if you have a Buddha statue at home that can protect you, you still have to contribute incense, fruit, or something similar every month.
These people want to gain something without giving anything in return. That's nothing short of parasitic behavior, and Lu Yuan detests it.
Seeing everyone's reaction, the old man couldn't help but sneer. He slammed his hand on the table to stop the chaos.
"What are you doing? Are you going to cause chaos? I haven't finished speaking yet, what are you all doing causing chaos?"
The scene fell silent again, and the old man stared intently at everyone.
"You feel wronged just because I ask you to do some work, right? Fine? If that's the case, then I think it's even more necessary to carry out this requirement!"
From now on, those who do not work will eat one meal every three days, those who work will eat one meal a day, those who do heavy physical labor will eat two meals a day, and those who make great contributions to the city may eat three meals a day!
"Now I will provide you with many job opportunities to meet your requirements. As long as you work hard, you will have food to eat!"
If you're still here thinking you're too unwell to work, then sorry, the camp doesn't tolerate idlers, not even the disabled!
After speaking, the old man nodded to his assistant, who immediately took out a blackboard that had been prepared beforehand, flipped it over, and revealed a list of job positions.
First, the first job was as a bricklayer.
The job requirements are very simple; you just need to be able to move stones and do physical labor. The working hours are short, but you can eat two meals a day.
The only downside is that we have to work in Zone 3. Zone 3 is an extremely dangerous place, and it's said that Z-type zombies roam there.
The mere thought of working in Zone 3 caused everyone present to immediately lose interest in the job.
Then everyone's gaze continued downwards.
The second job was a porter.
Lu Yuan planned to search for some bricks in some abandoned cities nearby. The fortress was not far from their location. A lot of waste materials were used when the fortress was built. As long as those materials were loaded onto a ship and transported back together, they could get a lot of bricks.
Upon seeing that it was still physical labor, everyone felt helpless again and then looked towards the third post.
Unfortunately, my third job was still physically demanding.
There are five positions in total, and it seems that all but one—the gardener position—are physically demanding.
However, the number of gardeners recruited was extremely limited, only fifty people in total. Fifty people seemed so insignificant among the thirty thousand people. Only fifty people out of thirty thousand could be recruited as gardeners, and the crowd immediately became excited, with everyone expressing their desire to become gardeners.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly. These people were really too lazy; they even seemed to have forgotten about their own hands and feet.
Although being a gardener is a good job, Lu Yuan had already arranged the job positions for these gardeners.
Especially when the old man personally put an X next to the original position, explaining that there were no more openings for that position, a chorus of sighs and lamentations immediately arose.
After the old man reprimanded the people below, Lu Yuan could clearly see that many people in the crowd looked at the old man with a hint of hostility in their eyes.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to offer a helping hand, he suddenly felt someone grab him twice. He turned his head and saw Xiao Shan shaking her head at him.
"Honey, Grandpa did that on purpose!"
