Following these people, they walked for about half an hour until they arrived at a place that resembled a city-state, where artificial suns were used.
"We live in an underground city, and our main source of light is the solar panels above. These solar panels not only reflect radiation but also have powerful solar energy generation capabilities, making them our last source of energy. The entire underground city's energy basically comes from there!"
After saying that, Qiao Lin took a few quick steps forward and pointed directly at a large door in front of him: "Welcome to the underground city. As new citizens, you need to take an oath before entering the city!"
Lu Yuan and Anna exchanged a glance and then expressed their doubts about this tradition: "Is this a necessary procedure before you enter the city? You don't need to sign any contract, just swear an oath."
A smile appeared on Jolin's face: "Yes, it's our fine tradition. We know that in this place, especially after the apocalypse, written documents have less and less binding force on us humans."
Instead of doing that, it would be better for everyone to make a vow, just for psychological comfort. Actually, it doesn't matter. Everyone just needs to be honest and live their own lives.
Everyone in the dungeon works for the dungeon; no one is an exception. We are one big family, and all our contributions come from our own hands.
Lu Yuan nodded slowly. These people probably joined the work from the bottom of their hearts. Perhaps some of them came with selfish motives, but they might be assimilated over time.
Then the other party led Lu Yuan and the others to a vacant residential area.
"I'm really sorry, we have limited manpower, so this is all we can produce for now. We'll have to make do with what we have for now."
"Some of you may be homeless, but we promise that with everyone's efforts, we will definitely be able to build all the houses you need. This open space is large; it's a special area we've designated for future survivors. We hope you won't find it inconvenient!"
Before Lu Yuan could even speak, the people around him all showed excited expressions.
"Oh, that's wonderful! We've always wanted a place like this to build our own house!"
"That's right, those tenement buildings are simply uninhabitable. If I had a place like that, I'd rather work hard and build my own house!"
"How big is each person's living space? I'd like a 100-square-meter apartment, is that possible?"
"Can I plant a small vegetable garden in front of my house? Using our own seeds!"
One by one, the people below made their requests, and Qiao Lin, with a smile on his face, pressed down on them.
"Everyone, please don't be anxious. We have already heard about your requests. Of course, this area is very large, considering the housing of a million people. However, for our future survival, this part of Huating is enough to house 100,000 people."
There are 120,000 people in your area, so there should be enough space for everyone. The place we designed originally was designed so that each person could have about 100 square meters of living space.
However, 100 square meters is really a lot. Actually, a smaller area would be fine. You can use the remaining space of this 100 square meters for planting, whatever crops you like. There's very little land available here, so please take good care of your land!
After Qiao Lin explained everyone's needs, everyone applauded with satisfaction.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought these outsiders would cause more problems, but to his surprise, their requirements were so low. They only needed a place to build their own houses. Clearly, they had had enough of the living conditions in those tenement buildings.
Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan originally planned to find a house to live in, but thanks to Qiao Lin's arrangement, they ended up living in a huge house. The house had several floors and was inhabited by the most renowned scientists in the region.
Lu Yuan instantly understood. Look at why you arranged it this way. They actually wanted Lu Yuan to give them his seeds, since the people on their side really needed food.
However, when they first moved in, the other party did not make this request, and Lu Yuan knew that they needed to try it out for a few days first.
That night, everyone found a place in their own accommodation and slept in their own tents. The next morning, a bell rang outside, the simulated fluorescent lights came on, and there was a commotion outside. Lu Yuan and Anna got up and looked outside.
Earlier, someone outside said that long queues had formed in the square. There were several locations in the square, and Lu Yuan didn't know what they were doing. Then he heard a knock on the door.
"It's breakfast time! You're new here, right? Come with us to get breakfast!"
Anna looked shocked: "They have a communal breakfast here? They've never had breakfast before!"
Lu Yuan smiled gently: "Let's go, let's experience a new life and see what life is like here!"
So the two of them got dressed and went outside, joining everyone else to queue up in the plaza downstairs. There were dozens of places to get food, and this was just one area.
Lu Yuan and his group live in a technology zone. The people living there generally possess various abilities, including those related to industry.
Experts in chemistry, physics, biology, and other fields reside in this area.
They all have their own jobs, and very few people actually farm.
As everyone introduced themselves, Lu Yuan and Anna felt a genuine sense of acceptance from these people, instantly making them feel the warmth of home.
The next few days were very pleasant, and Lu Yuan and Anna redistributed their crops to the land.
Because of their extreme lack of soil, the military has now instructed troops and engineering personnel to go to distant places to collect soil.
While Lu Yuan and Anna were preparing for their next experiment in their room, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.
"We've intercepted one of the Earthlings' operational plans. Quickly notify the military to come for a meeting!"
Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback and looked up at the window.
A group of communications experts quickly went around notifying people with a piece of paper.
"Looks like they have a new plan!"
Anna leaned against the window and glanced out, immediately seeing the panicked crowd gathering for a meeting, clearly to formulate their next plan.
