“Lu Yuan, I’ve found a great place. It’s not in the mountains, it’s far from the city, and there are some abandoned coal mines nearby with abundant energy resources. Farming won’t be a problem.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was immediately overjoyed, and the place immediately came to mind.
"You mean Shanxi Province?"
The other person nodded.
"Yes, it's in Jincheng. Although things aren't very stable there right now, and there are quite a few refugees, we should be fine as long as we're careful along the way!"
"Besides, I've already found a relatively good route, so getting there shouldn't be any problem!"
Lu Yuan nodded.
"Great! That means we can go there now. But I plan to send some people to scout out the route first, find a good spot, and then we'll move there together!"
At this moment, Professor Zhu and Professor Wang exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Let's go together, since we're familiar with geology!"
Lu Yuan shook his head.
"No, you're too old. It might be dangerous for you to go that way!"
"It's alright! We're not afraid! Besides, we're all old enough to be unafraid of danger!"
"No! Absolutely not!"
Lu Yuan refused without hesitation, then pondered for a moment.
"Let's call everyone else over and discuss it together to see who should go!"
The two had no choice but to nod.
During dinner, Lu Yuan told his family about his thoughts.
Wei Xiaoshan sat down at the dining table and immediately lost her appetite. She put her chopsticks down on the table, stared intently at Lu Yuan, and a hint of worry flickered in her eyes.
"Lu Yuan, you absolutely mustn't go this time, it's too dangerous!"
"Yes, Xiao Yuan, everyone here is counting on you now. You can't go, you can't do anything foolish!"
Lu Yuan nodded, both amused and exasperated.
"Don't worry, I won't go. It's still too dangerous here. We can only send them to scout ahead. There's still a lot to prepare along the way, and I need to get ready!"
"Oh, is there anything else to do?"
"If we want to relocate, we need to get some vehicles and gasoline, which are two crucial issues. Although we have enough to eat now, we may face various security problems along the way, so we still need to do some defense work!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Mr. Lu put down his chopsticks and spoke.
"But where are we going to get gasoline now? The government is powerless to control us anymore. A lot of gasoline is in the hands of some big shots. It's really not easy to get gasoline!"
"Yes, of course I know, so I plan to reach out to other people and see if there's any way!"
"So who are you planning to contact? There aren't many people with gasoline these days!"
Lu Yuan pondered for a while and suddenly remembered that a while ago, someone was driving a yacht and recklessly sailing through the flood. He seemed to be a relatively wealthy person.
However, Lu Yuan did not have much contact with him at the time, and the other party was not interested in his territory.
So he asked.
"By the way, you guys know about that guy who was driving a speedboat around here a while ago, you've all seen him, right?"
Lu's father immediately thought of that person.
"I know, that person seemed to be trying to trade some food with us, but I refused. Are you planning to go find him?"
Lu Yuan nodded.
"That's right, I'm going to ask him!"
"Okay, we'll keep an eye out for you in the meantime. If we run into that person again, we'll try our best to bring him over!"
After the family finished discussing the matter, they each went back to their rooms.
It seems that the epidemic has reached a bottleneck, and people's protection against the epidemic has changed significantly. Items such as masks, which were previously ignored, have been snapped up.
Experts from various regions have stated that the decline in the epidemic is closely related to the receding floodwaters. Lu Yuan could only say that the results were good, but the epidemic was far from over. It was only because there were fewer people that it was not breaking out now. If there were large-scale gatherings of people, a large-scale epidemic outbreak would still occur.
A few days later, the person that Lu's father brought back was the same guy who drove the yacht that Lu Yuan had met some time ago.
"Hey, I heard you were looking for me?"
Lu Yuan smiled and then looked the other person up and down. He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Although his clothes were not very clean, they were much better than those of the other refugees. Moreover, this person did not appear to be skin and bones like the others, and his mental state was particularly good, so it seemed that he had not been infected by the plague.
"Hello, I'm Lu Yuan. Why don't we go inside and talk?"
"My name is Yuan Yuan! I already heard about you from your dad on the way here!"
The other person glanced around, but there was no hint of wariness in their eyes. They followed Lu Yuan into the factory area in a nonchalant manner.
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
"Gasoline! I don't know if you have a lot there, could you sell me some? I'll trade you grain for it!"
The other person burst into laughter after hearing this.
"Oh, it's gasoline! But I get my gasoline from a hidden location! If you really want gasoline, we can work together, but if you want to know where it is, you have to give me some food!"
