This was also the first time Lu Yuan had met this old man, and he had a vague feeling that the black market was under the old man's control.
The old man held his head high with an expression that was neither humble nor arrogant, showing no respect to the other party whatsoever.
The Blue Star officer didn't seem to care about him at all, and nodded slightly: "We are not invaders, we are just here to liberate this place, so you can go back to your previous state."
However, there's one condition: this island is currently under our temporary occupation, and we need to build some factories here, so we need some manpower. We need your help with this! That's why I've come to you today—to seek your assistance. Please, you must agree to my request!
The old man looked at the other person and spat a thick wad of phlegm onto the other person's shoes.
The people of Earth are very particular about cleanliness. When he saw the thick phlegm on his shoes, he frowned. He wanted to clean it but stopped, squatted down, picked up a handkerchief, and wiped the phlegm clean.
"I've already given you a lot of chances, but you didn't seize them. Don't blame me for being ruthless later. Alright, since you don't agree, then I'll announce it myself."
From this day forward, your Black faction's management rights over the entire canyon are hereby revoked. That's all we have to say. If you want war, don't blame us for being impolite.
To be fair, although these Earthlings were alien invaders, they still managed to negotiate terms. The gentlemanly manners they adopted from Earthlings, however, felt extremely despicable.
Lu Yuan increasingly felt that these Earthlings were somewhat like the people of an island nation; they were almost identical to them.
Anna looked at the blocked roads, somewhat at a loss: "What should we do next? They've blocked all the roads; we can't even leave the house!"
Lu Yuan glanced at them and roughly understood how these Earthlings would control them next.
Actually, it would be very easy for the Earthlings to control them.
Humans' most basic needs for life are nothing more than air, water, food, and so on.
These most basic life elements determine whether a person can continue to live, so they only need to control one of them to limit their lives.
In short, the Blue Star people have now taken control of the canyon, so there is no doubt that everyone here will become their slaves.
Lu Yuan could also sense that these Earthlings would definitely do that.
Sure enough, the Blue Star people set up a recruitment post at the exit of the canyon, with a dozen or so rules written on it. They wanted to build a supply station there.
The supply depot will deliver a lot of raw materials, and the recruited Earthlings or half-humans will be sent to work in the factory, earning their wages and food based on the amount of work they do each day.
Lu Yuan could roughly guess that these Earthlings would probably take control of these people after a while, and then slowly seize their homes and plunder their property.
He absolutely did not believe that these Earthlings would willingly hand over their valuables for a transaction. Judging from their previous actions, these Earthlings were clearly a bunch of vampires, stingy vampires. How could they possibly trade at normal market prices?
Fortunately, Lu Yuan has a dimensional space, so he is completely unaware that some things are being controlled.
The only downside is that going to the toilet is a problem.
The water supply to their toilets had been cut off, making it impossible to flush. So, in order to solve the toilet problem, Lu Yuan had to dig another tunnel between the two rooms.
One is specifically for storing feces, and the other is a toilet where, as long as the door is closed, the smell outside isn't too strong, but using the toilet there is quite disgusting; the smell is simply too foul.
The two of them stayed in this small house, rarely going out. Occasionally, they would stand outside the window and look out, waiting for the right opportunity to come.
Lu Yuan had no idea why the resistance hadn't attacked yet. Had they been repelled or abandoned the battlefield? He couldn't guess. He could only quietly wait for the people of Blue Star to be driven back and for order to be restored. He was still waiting to return to Shanghai.
Over the next week, they set up the factory. The factory was rumbling outside, and the ground was shaking. Lu Yuan had no idea how big their factory was.
In short, the commotion was so great that the ground throughout the island trembled. One thing Lu Yuan often felt was that when he was sleeping in bed, sand and dust kept falling from the ceiling above his head, making it impossible for him to sleep well.
Lu Yuan had never seen such a powerful machine before, and he couldn't even imagine what such a powerful factory produced.
Perhaps it's some kind of ammunition and weapons intended to deal with Earthlings. Lu Yuan really wanted to destroy it all at once, but he didn't have that ability right now.
Many people have no choice but to work in factories to make a living. More and more people have joined the factories, and now basically 90% of the people in the canyon have joined the factories to work.
They had no choice but to do this to escape, while the remaining 10% were mostly wealthy people. They had no shortage of food, oxygen, or air, and even had their own water supply.
Moreover, there are quite a few wealthy people on this side, probably over a thousand. They are definitely a formidable workforce, and the wealth they carry is enough to make others envious.
Lu Yuan worried that these Earthlings would definitely turn against them one day, perhaps it was just a matter of time.
Over the next few days, people passing by the gate would occasionally mention the factory and things outside of it. Through them, Lu Yuan learned that the resistance army was not refusing to fight, but was slowly planning its war.
They had a plan, gradually advancing on some nearby strongholds. After all, the Black Market Island they were on was not only a transit point, but also a very important strategic location. Once they occupied this place, it would become an island for the Blue Star people.
With this island as a springboard, the Blue Star people can continuously transport all kinds of weapons to this place, and what the Blue Star people are doing now is to build a supply station here.
They are waiting for their warships to dock so they can set up their forces and launch a direct attack on Shanghai. Therefore, the people in Shanghai are still conducting reconnaissance and looking for the right opportunity to launch an attack on this place.
Lu Yuan secretly looked forward to this great battle, wondering when it would finally begin.
If it were really possible, he felt that going to the battlefield with them would be a very good opportunity.
