This flood that submerged the enemy army was quite shocking, which reminded Lu Yuan of a famous battle during the Three Kingdoms period, the flood that submerged the seven armies.
However, things always have two sides. Although they managed to withstand the onslaught of these refugees this time, their method would no longer be effective if they encountered a large number of refugees again.
Lu Yuan returned home and took stock of his food reserves once again.
The original 100 tons of various grains have been reduced by more than half, and a large area of land has now been cleared out of the warehouse.
During this period, his food reserves decreased sharply because he had sponsored more than 30 people.
So Lu Yuan made a decision. He could no longer cling to his resource space. It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. If he relied solely on his own stockpile, the consumption rate of the thirty-odd people would eventually catch up with the production rate.
Lu lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Although their lives were tough, Lu Yuan couldn't protect them; even greater disasters awaited him.
The secrets within his seemingly impregnable house will eventually be revealed, so the house can only serve as a temporary transit point. He must leave before the next disaster strikes.
But where to go, where is more suitable for him, and where he can escape disaster, are questions that Lu Yuan needs to consider. After all, he is not alone, but with his whole family and Xiao Shan's family of three.
He recalled the memories from his dream, and then opened the notebook where he had recorded the sequence of events in which the disasters occurred.
The second wave of disaster after the flood was the plague. In retrospect, the plague came quite suddenly, without any warning.
The wandering refugees were their greatest threat. Although he knew he had eaten the golden fruit, the virus would continue to mutate, and he wasn't sure how long he could survive.
The thirty-odd people who followed him, although they didn't seem to be in much danger and were just making do with their lives, were living much better than the people outside, but only for the time being.
At that time, his fuel reserves were almost depleted. Although he had obtained some gasoline from Chen Ming, it had been used up to transport concrete. Now, he only had about two or three thousand liters of gasoline left in his warehouse.
So he went to find Chen Ke and the others again.
"Brother Lu, what's the matter? Have more refugees arrived?"
Chen Ke looked a little nervous. Since the last flood that submerged the refugee army, there had been several attacks. Fortunately, everyone was vigilant and took precautions, so no one was injured or killed.
Lu Yuan shook his head.
"No, I wanted to ask if there are any other places where gasoline is stored?"
The other party pondered for a moment.
"The crude oil my cousin left me is almost used up; now, oil is basically controlled by the government!"
"Getting gasoline is going to be tough! And I can't get in touch with my cousin anymore! I guess he's probably in grave danger!"
Lu Yuan sat at the doorway, looking at everyone, and finally spoke his mind.
"My food reserves are almost depleted, and I can't keep going like this. So I'm planning to cultivate a new piece of land!"
"What do you mean by opening up new land?"
After hearing this, Song Heng showed an incredulous expression.
“That’s right, I still have some food here. This place has been targeted by a large number of refugees, and it will definitely be dangerous for us to stay here any longer. So I plan to find a new place to live!”
"In the meantime, help me investigate and find out the whereabouts of those refugees. If you find any good locations, let me know!"
Everyone nodded indifferently.
Back home, Lu Yuan locked himself in his bedroom, resuming his private space.
His dimensional space now has an area of 180 square meters. Although the dimensional crystals had flashed a few times before, he was unable to obtain upgrade crystals due to external environmental factors, and missed many opportunities.
The area of 180 square meters is not very large. Although a large amount of grain is produced every day, Lu Yuan knows that this grain cannot be taken out anymore and he must find a way to cultivate it outside.
...
Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
After several large-scale outbreaks of the plague, a large number of people have fallen ill. Now, only one in ten people in the entire Shimizu City survives. Shimizu City is now in a state of being unmanaged, which is also the current situation in many areas.
Nowadays, people can only rely on themselves to make a living. If they want to obtain more resources, they can only rob others or go to some hidden warehouses that have not yet been developed.
During this period, many people submitted their relocation plans, but Lu Yuan rejected them all.
The main problem with the location they were looking for was that it was mountainous. Since Lu Yuan knew that they would encounter a severe earthquake later, mountainous areas were basically ruled out.
Some flat plains are still flooded and have always faced countless attacks from Lumens; he cannot afford to take that risk.
On this day, Professor Zhu and Professor Wang visited again.
Professor Zhu excitedly took out his notebook and placed it on the table.
