Hearing Zhou Tong talk about the traumas they had suffered, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.
These people had been trapped in the ship's cabin for so long, and their minds had undergone tremendous changes.
Watching the people around them die one by one inevitably leaves a deep shadow in their hearts.
However, those who have recovered may have strong mental fortitude, or they may have held onto a belief that they can live on.
So far, they have not suffered any setbacks. On the contrary, it was because Lu Yuan rescued them that they were able to be reborn.
After obtaining Han Wen and Xi Wen's address, Lu Yuan put down what he was holding and immediately went to their place.
However, Lu Yuan still took some supplies before going.
It was just two chickens and some daily necessities.
Now, most of the things in Lu Yuan's camp have to be sent to the warehouse for disposal, and there is very little left to eat, such as chicken, duck, fish and meat.
Lu Yuan would occasionally slaughter some of the pigs, cattle, and sheep he raised in his dimensional space and feed them to his subordinates. This was the best way to win people's hearts.
Of course, the relationship between Han Wenxi, Zhou Tong, and Lu Yuan was definitely not that of a superior and subordinate.
Their relationship can definitely be described as that of comrades-in-arms.
In the years following the apocalypse, Lu Yuan had gone through countless life-and-death situations with them since meeting them. He couldn't remember them all now, but he felt that these people were absolutely indispensable friends in his life.
Carrying his things, Lu Yuan easily found his way to a place he no longer recognized.
Zone Two was a place they passed by every day. However, after about half a month, the shack area had been transformed into a residential area. The tents were now arranged more neatly, and there were some buildings under construction in the distance.
The construction speed of the buildings was not very fast because they did not have large equipment. Relying on manual labor, the speed could be described as snail's pace. Basically, if a dozen or so people could build a two-story building in a day, that was considered fast.
However, no one was in a hurry, because their camp had no shortage of manpower or time.
So everyone wasn't in a particular hurry to get to work. Since they were working for themselves, they planned things out well. However, they needed to determine the size and orientation of their houses according to Lu Yuan's previous plan, so as to ensure housing density and accessibility.
Arriving at a building under construction, Lu Yuan saw a man struggling to unload bricks from a cart.
With a "whoosh," the bricks were dropped from the cart.
Then the man carried the bricks over one by one, applied a little cement, and began to build.
Standing to the side was a woman with a slightly protruding belly, her face radiating happiness, staring intently at the man in the distance.
She just kept looking at him, as if she could never get enough of him. Lu Yuan knew that what emanated from her eyes was a wonderful feeling called love.
Lu Yuan walked over to the woman's chest and coughed softly.
After hearing Lu Yuan cough, the woman couldn't help but turn around and glance at him.
When she saw that it was Lu Yuan, her expression immediately showed a hint of surprise, followed by tension and shock.
"Lu Yuan? You're here?"
Han Wen looks very different from before; she is much thinner now.
However, it also looks more integrated, which seems a bit unreasonable.
When people lose weight, their faces tend to become more sharp and angular.
However, Han Wen is different. She was born with a beautiful face, and even though she was so thin that she looked somewhat gaunt, it still couldn't hide her stunning beauty.
She had her hair pulled up high and was wearing a thin coat, but her stomach was slightly protruding and could only be covered by her clothes.
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, then looked at the other person's belly, and then at Xiwen who was working in the distance.
When will you give birth?
Han Wen stood up, touched his stomach, and had a kind smile on his face.
"It'll be soon, I'm due in three months, it should be December!"
"Well, congratulations in advance! You must take good care of yourself during this time. I brought you some chicken and duck when I came, so you can make soup to nourish your body. I'll have Xiaoshan prepare some maternity and baby supplies for you in the next few days. It might be very busy when you give birth, so you should prepare in advance if you're really short on time!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Han Wen's face immediately lit up with a look of joy.
She looked at Lu Yuan with a hint of gratitude and said softly.
"Thank you so much! We desperately need these things and have no idea where to get them. This is a godsend!"
Just then, Xiwen heard the conversation from afar, wiped his sweat, and walked over.
He was stunned when he saw Lu Yuan.
"Brother Lu...?"
Lu Yuan looked at Xi Wen and saw that the other man was also extremely thin.
They have been at this camp for over a month now. Although their basic needs for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation have been restored, they are still unable to heal the wounds they have suffered over the past few months.
Xiwen was now skin and bones, his face was dark and his skin was even peeling in some places.
Seeing his former friends in this state, Lu Yuan felt a pang of sadness.
He reached out and patted the other person on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Xiwen grinned and smiled.
"It's alright, we're used to it. We should thank you, otherwise we might have died on that ship. Sigh, we're actually very happy to be living like this now!"
Han Wen nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, this is the kind of life we long for. In the past, during the apocalypse, this kind of life would have been a disaster for us."
But now that I think about it, what's wrong with this kind of life? I'm busy with my own life every day, whether it's building a house or cooking. I rely on my own two hands, and it's quite hopeful.
Now that we have a child, the burden on our shoulders may be a little heavier, but not too heavy. We are very content to have a leader like you guiding us!
Lu Yuan sighed, looking at them as if they had no more demands on this world.
