After learning about the living conditions and situation here, Lu Yuan had a general idea of what was going on.
Anna became a little nervous after hearing what he said. She gently grabbed Lu Yuan's shoulder and leaned her head against him, afraid of being separated from him.
The other party drove at high speed all the way, finally bringing them to a canyon.
After getting off the car, Lu Yuan realized that these people lived in this canyon.
The canyon was filled with a thick, fog-like mist. The other person pointed to the weapon and said, "This mist is the supply point. The daily supply is limited."
So it's very expensive to get a house here. Each of you paid a gold bar, which means you can live there for a week. So if you don't produce the gold bar after a week, the house may belong to someone else.
"You're paying for your accommodation in advance? Don't you plan to pay for the full month upfront? After all, you have to wait at least a month to board."
Lu Yuan shook his head. He knew that the other party just wanted him to pay. If the ship really sped up, it would be impossible to get a refund later.
The other party deliberately makes this request to make money in advance in order to make more money, but Lu Yuan has no intention of being a sucker.
Although he had a considerable amount of gold, he knew that his gold was finite; every bit he used was one less. He had no source of income, and if he used up all the gold before finding Xiaoshan and the others, there would be no more funding.
Seeing Lu Yuan insist on paying, the black market intermediary showed a hint of dissatisfaction on his face. However, he kept trying to persuade Lu Yuan to pay, but Lu Yuan didn't give him the chance at all.
Following the other party until they reached the spraying area below, Lu Yuan finally smelled a strong industrial odor of oxygen. Needless to say, the amount of impurities in this oxygen was extremely high.
Moreover, it has a very strong smell, like rotten fish. It is obviously oxygen extracted directly from seawater through electrolysis, without even being filtered.
Lu Yuan had worked at Anna's factory for a period of time before, so he had some understanding of the equipment there.
The reason why the oxygen produced by electrolysis has this fishy smell is mainly because they directly pump seawater for filtration in order to save on filtration costs.
However, this will result in significant wear and tear on the oxygen electrolysis equipment, and the electrode rods between the two electrodes will develop many problems after a period of electrolysis.
Accelerating the damage process could lead to longer replacement cycles, but these weren't Lu Yuan's concerns. He was more interested in where he would be assigned to live.
According to the agent, the people living here are mostly very wealthy and influential figures or deserters from the battlefield.
Yes, deserters. This was already a very common situation at this point, as the military's management capabilities were no longer sufficient to control the entire army.
This leads to many people joining the army when they are starving, earning their first fortune in the army, and then leaving.
In the military, making money is very easy. After each battle, you can basically earn a fortune, enough to live on for several years.
Therefore, more and more people are willing to join the battle, including a large number of half-blue planet people and Earthlings. As for the noble blue planet people, they basically do not join the battlefield.
Following the other person forward, the place where they lived was actually a series of small tunnels dug out in front of two side rock pits in this canyon.
Inside the tunnel, there is a door at every other point, and behind each door is a small room where their people live.
The living density here is extremely high. The tunnels they dug in a hexagonal shape ensured the safety of the people inside, making them look like honeycomb.
After finally arriving at their designated accommodation, the other person pointed to the top sixth floor: "This is where you'll be staying, 607. Take the key and go up!"
After saying that, the other person took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Lu Yuan.
After looking at the key, Lu Yuan nodded to Anna.
Anna climbed up the ladder first, with Lu Yuan following beside her.
The ladders here are for public use, and people come here often, so this place looks like a ladder sales place. But that's not the case. Behind the ladders are human settlements.
After climbing to the sixth floor, Anna felt her arms and legs getting sore. She paused for a moment and then continued climbing.
Finally reaching the sixth floor, Anna crawled into a hole and saw that there was not a single light in the hole, but there were several people inside. There was a strong smell of urine coming from the entrance of the hole, which meant that someone inside was urinating and defecating directly in the tunnel.
The smell inside was unbearable. When Anna stopped, Lu Yuan also noticed the smell. He nodded slightly, and the two of them stood on the ladder for a while before finally climbing up.
Once inside the tunnel, Lu Yuan immediately regretted it.
Needless to say, the environment here was terrible. The entire tunnel was covered with traces of urine and feces, so you could probably step on them with your feet.
To avoid the filth of these disgusting people that could step on them at any moment, they had to slow down and keep their eyes fixed on the disgusting things on the ground.
Inside the small doors of the tunnel, some people were still sleeping, snoring, while others seemed to be talking or chatting to themselves. Some men and women were even having sex together. The whole tunnel was in chaos, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Before they even reached room 607, Lu Yuan gently called out to Anna from behind, "Let's stop here. If we go any further in, the smell will probably get even stronger. Let's go back and find a better place to stay!"
Anna had long harbored this intention, even though she already knew that she was no longer the princess she once was.
He took a batch of gold with him when he left, but not a lot.
Their factory's main source of income is basically tied up in goods.
