Luo Xuan's withered lips twitched slightly.
Then he picked up a pen, looked at the numbers and date on it, and then quietly wrote down a line.
"It's been a week, and Lu Yuan still hasn't replied. Is he planning to give up on us?"
He rubbed his temples. Although he was doing nothing all day and could just lie in bed and sleep, he was still feeling idle.
But he couldn't sleep at all. Every time he closed his eyes, all he could see in his mind was the image of corpses scattered all over the ground, which terrified him.
He just stared blankly at the ceiling all day long.
Suddenly, just as he picked up his pen to begin writing, the sound of an engine came from outside.
He paused for a moment, feeling somewhat taken aback, because at this time, very few people could afford to drive a motorboat.
After all, the fuel in the speedboats had been almost completely used up, and the most key personnel in their camp had been stored away for use in generating electricity.
Many things now rely on electricity. Without fuel and materials, generating electricity by human power would be far too wasteful of food resources.
No one was willing to come and generate electricity manually, since the supply of food and electricity were almost disproportionate. People would rather go hungry at home than come here and wait for two hours for a wheelbarrow to generate electricity.
Luo Xuan leaned against the wall and walked to the window. When he saw a motorboat in the distance, a slightly surprised expression appeared on his face. The motorboat looked very familiar, but he couldn't quite figure out where he had seen this kind of motorboat before.
However, it wasn't until the people on the speedboat came out of the cockpit that Luo Xuan finally showed a hint of joy on his face. It was Lu Yuan, whom he had been looking forward to for so long.
Ignoring his weak steps, he quickly walked downstairs.
However, having not eaten properly for so long, he tripped and fell flat on his face on the hard floor as soon as he lifted his leg, leaving a bloody gash.
He didn't bother to rub his wound, and continued to walk down the wall while holding onto the wall.
He now secretly regrets not choosing to live on the first floor, but instead living on the fourth floor.
The fourth floor is a height that would take him about half an hour to descend given his current physical condition.
But now that Lu Yuan has arrived, what if he doesn't notice them and turns away?
Thinking of the important things he had to do with him, Luo Xuan gritted his teeth, took out a few pieces of egg white from the drawer, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed them fiercely.
The protein chunks, which looked like cowhide, were almost impossible to bite into.
However, some chemicals from the protein cubes slowly flowed into his stomach as he swallowed them with his saliva, giving Luo Xuan a little strength.
Luo Xuan chewed the protein chunks again until he swallowed them all. Only then did he feel a little something in his stomach. He heard Lu Yuan's voice coming from downstairs.
"Luo Xuan, are you there?"
Lu Yuan was a little frustrated. When he got downstairs, he saw that there was no one at the homes of even the commanders in the entire camp.
He didn't know why this was happening, and even thought that there was no one left in this place.
Just then, as he rounded a corner, he saw the stairs and looked up again, shouting upwards.
Suddenly, a crashing sound came from upstairs, followed by a scream.
"Holy crap, no way, what's going on?"
Lu Yuan quickly grabbed the railing and ran upwards.
The second floor was empty, so we went up to the third floor.
There is still only one bedroom on the third floor.
So Lu Yuan headed towards the fourth floor again, but when he turned the corner, he saw Luo Xuan falling down the stairs.
Luo Xuan's face was covered in blood, so he quickly stepped forward and helped Luo Xuan up.
The other party waved his hand slightly, indicating that he was fine.
"I'm so happy to finally see you! I just accidentally fell off, but I'm okay now!"
Lu Yuan was somewhat taken aback by Luo Xuan's reaction, but seeing the wound on the other's face bleeding profusely, Lu Yuan still took out his first-aid kit to help bandage the wound.
"Let me find some medicine and bandage it properly for you. If this kind of wound isn't treated well, it could bleed too much, and you're already so weak!"
Luo Xuan was immediately filled with gratitude after hearing this.
[Ding! 100 Gratitude Points Acquired]
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, not expecting that he would receive 100 gratitude points just for helping the other party bandage.
Clearly, the scars on the other person's face could have cost him his life.
Lu Yuan secretly felt that he could gain a lot of gratitude points more quickly in this camp.
This is definitely a great place to farm gratitude points, because the population here is probably over 100,000, which is much more than the population of your own camp.
After Lu Yuan quickly treated the other person's wound, he checked the other person's condition and asked again.
Are you hungry?
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Luo Xuan could no longer hold back and nodded vigorously.
"I'm starving! I'm absolutely starving! Do you have anything to eat? Could you give me some?"
"We've run out of food in our camp. Nearly five hundred people have died in the last two days, and we estimate that even more will die after today!"
Upon hearing his words, Lu Yuan felt his hair stand on end.
The number of deaths per day has reached five hundred, which is an astonishing rate.
"What happened? Why did someone die?"
Luo Xuan sighed.
"There's no way to cope with the lack of food. Everyone has been hungry for three to five days. Even I only have some paper to fill my stomach!"
If they don't eat, the mortality rate will definitely be even higher. I hope you can save them!
"Damn it, why didn't you tell me sooner that this was happening?"
A look of surprise crossed Lu Yuan's face. The deaths of so many people would definitely bring a huge amount of gratitude points.
If they could even save these dead people and give them a little food, they would have completed their mission.
A helpless expression appeared on Luo Xuan's face.
"There's nothing we can do about it. We don't have that capability right now. I've already written to you, why didn't you receive it?"
Lu Yuan was also a little annoyed. He looked up at the papers in the other person's room.
"I just saw a lot of this kind of letter paper downstairs. Did you write your letter in this kind of envelope?"
Luo Xuan nodded immediately and took the piece of paper he had just prepared to write on.
"Have you seen this kind of letter paper before? Did you see it downstairs?"
"That's right, it's this kind of paper. It seems your messengers aren't very reliable!"
