The others objected when they heard that Lu Yuan wanted to go with this skinny young man to see the dangerous Mr. Kong.
The first to speak was Sun Zhe. His son, who had been saved by Lu Yuan, was still a big fan of Lu Yuan. When he saw his idol was about to take a dangerous risk, he stood up to object.
"Brother Lu, forget it. That Mr. Kong isn't a good person. You'd better not go! Just to avoid any problems that might arise!"
Song Heng, standing to the side, was also somewhat timid. He was an opportunist who, despite his usual carefree demeanor, was actually quite cowardly. Hearing that Lu Yuan was going, he certainly couldn't let him lead everyone to their deaths.
"That's right, Lu Yuan, don't take any risks. It doesn't matter if we don't buy anything. After seeing what's going on here, I think it's actually quite normal not to buy anything."
The others also expressed their unwillingness to go.
Lu Yuan didn't actually want to buy vegetables and fruits from Mr. Kong. What he was interested in was the high-tech cultivation technology that Mr. Kong had. Although he already had a dimensional space and didn't lack food, his family always thought that Lu Yuan had hoarded too much stuff and didn't take it seriously.
However, Lu Yuan didn't think so. Especially recently, every time his grandmother went to the freezer to take something out, she would say that some food had clearly been eaten, but it would reappear the next day. This made her suspicious and she even said several times during meals that the house was haunted. Lu Yuan could only feel helpless about this. He didn't plan to tell anyone about the dimensional space.
Even his closest relatives couldn't be told, because the things in this dimensional space were too mysterious. If they were leaked, it would not do him or his family any good, and could even bring about their deaths. So he planned to keep this secret until he died, and at least he would not tell anyone before he died.
Although the culture medium technology that this Boss Kong possessed was made public many years ago, and these things can be bought in supermarkets or markets on a daily basis, such as tomatoes and cucumbers that we eat every day, are all cultivated using culture medium, so as long as he can get these things, it is easy to explain the extra food in his house. At that time, even if outsiders find out about the situation at home, he will not have to worry about exposing his dimensional space.
He was confident that he would get what he wanted from Master Kong, even if he couldn't get it right away, he could at least make a conversation with him and take his time.
At this moment, Chen Ke, who was standing to the side, was also at a loss. Although he usually seemed to be organizing rat-catching teams and contacting convoys, he was just an ordinary person with no great ambitions. He was content with his modest wealth and was afraid of fantasizing about getting some more food, after all, the background of this Boss Kong was too dangerous.
"Yes, Lu Yuan, we've already gotten some food. We should share it when we get back. This Boss Kong is really too dangerous. What if he turns out to be the second member of the Destroyer Gang?"
Lu Yuan smiled slightly, then looked at everyone and said, "It's alright. If you're scared, go back first. I'll figure out a way to get back later."
Upon hearing that Lu Yuan wanted to go alone, Sun Zhe immediately dissuaded him, saying, "Brother Lu, let's forget it! We can always come back another day. There's no need to go looking for that Boss Kong!"
The skinny young man said impatiently, "Are you done yet! Are you going or not? If not, fine! I have things to do!"
Lu Yuan quickly said, "Go, go, I'm going right now!"
"You guys go back first! I'll figure out a way to get back! At worst, I can get a bicycle and ride back later, it'll be fine!"
Seeing that their attempts to dissuade Lu Yuan were ineffective, everyone sighed.
"Sigh! Alright then! You take care of yourself. Shall we... shall we go back by ourselves?" Song Heng really wanted to go back, but he was timid, and the others were all indecisive. Once Lu Yuan left, he didn't know who to ask.
Although Chen Ke is the group leader, she is the kind of person who is indecisive and doesn't know what to do without Lu Yuan's guidance.
"Forget it, why don't we wait here? Anyway, there are soldiers watching over this place, so there's no danger. It's just a bit smelly!"
Sun Zhe wanted to go with Lu Yuan, but when he thought about his wife and children waiting for him at home, he immediately felt a little sorry for Lu Yuan.
"Brother Lu, we'll be waiting for you here. Come back soon!"
Lu Yuan nodded and followed the skinny young man onto his electric scooter.
Along the way, Lu Yuan learned that the skinny young man's real name was Shen Tian. He was originally a nightclub worker. Later, he was valued by the boss for daring to fight and was promoted to security captain. His position as security captain was different from that of ordinary security guards. He did the work of guarding the place. If anyone dared to be disrespectful, he would definitely be the backbone of the nightclub.
When the apocalypse came, the nightclub went out of business, and Shen Tian lost his job overnight, becoming one of the many unemployed. However, he had a wide network of connections, which allowed him to contact the underlings who used to follow him. Later, after learning that the Doomsday Gang was rising, he decided to join them. But he was disbanded just a few days after joining, and he became unemployed again.
In order to survive, he had to find another way to make a living, so he approached Boss Kong and spent a sum of money to obtain a wholesale license. He then continued to sell vegetables in this area.
"Brother, you look so fair-skinned, you must be living a good life!" Shen Tian asked casually, having nothing better to do.
"Hehe, it's alright. My family used to be in the wholesale business, so we stocked up on some goods, and now we've basically finished them all. That's why we're thinking of getting more food!" Lu Yuan said casually.
Shen Tian said enviously, "Sigh! I can tell you're a big shot just by looking at you. How come I've never met you before? What kind of place are you from?"
Lu Yuan was momentarily stunned and didn't know what to say. The other party was obviously trying to build a connection, but he didn't work in their circle, so how could he possibly have any dealings with him?
"Oh, I'm in the seafood wholesale business, around the aquatic product market area."
"Oh! That's alright! But now it's practically impossible to get any gasoline, so there's no way to go fishing in the sea! I didn't know you were into the seaside scene!"
"Yes, that's right!"
The two chatted casually and soon arrived at the front of the Qingcheng Building.
