Lu Yuan couldn't believe his eyes. He never expected that after so long, he would be able to find Zhou Tong on his first trip to the Northern Territory.
He stood up and slowly rubbed his eyes. Anna, who was standing next to him, was also curious after seeing Lu Yuan's reaction, so she asked softly, "Who is this?"
Zhou Tong, who was some distance away, felt a lump in his throat. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Finally, he took a deep breath, stepped forward, and gave Lu Yuan a big hug.
Seeing how familiar the two of them were, Anna, standing to the side, suddenly felt as if Lu Yuan had found the person she was looking for. She felt as if something was missing in her heart, and she felt a sense of emptiness.
Then Lu Yuan pointed to Zhou Tong and introduced him to Anna, "This is Zhou Tong, my good brother who has gone through thick and thin with me. This is..."
When Anna was mentioned, Lu Yuan didn't know how to introduce her, since his relationship with Anna was still unclear.
Moreover, Lu Yuan felt unsure how to introduce them—whether they were friends, boyfriend and girlfriend, or sister and sister. If he said the wrong thing, he might feel very uncomfortable. So, Lu Yuan gave Anna a look.
Anna felt a pang of sadness the moment Lu Yuan hesitated.
When he saw the pleading look in Lu Yuan's eyes, he instantly understood what to do.
So Anna pretended to be very happy and took Lu Yuan's arm: "Hello, Brother Zhou Tong, I am Lu Yuan's sister, my name is Anna, it's nice to meet you."
Zhou Tong was slightly taken aback. He used to be a special forces soldier, and reconnaissance was a required skill for him.
When he heard the other person say that about their relationship, he immediately realized that something was definitely wrong.
However, Lu Yuan did not make it clear, so Zhou Tong did not ask any further questions.
However, Zhou Tong didn't say anything. He was too busy being happy with Lu Yuan to notice. So after shaking hands, Zhou Tong immediately took Anna and Lu Yuan to his office.
His office was on the third floor of the building, where mid-level officers were located.
Zhou Tong is doing quite well in the camp now, mainly because of his background and identity as a former special forces member, which is why he was able to get this position.
Upon arrival, Zhou Tong introduced his work, noting that there were many documents on the table.
Lu Yuan discovered that Zhou Tong's current position was quite stressful, requiring him to go on missions every day in addition to basic training.
The reason they are so busy is mainly because the army in the northern border region is so lacking in capable people like Zhou Tong.
The apocalypse caused a severe decline in everyone's physical condition.
They would only cower in corners like ants and rats, trembling and searching for a chance to survive, instead of being able to organize an effective resistance force like Zhou Tong.
After briefly introducing his job duties, Lu Yuan couldn't wait to interrupt Zhou Tong: "Old Zhou, none of this is important. I want to ask where you went with Xiao Shan and my family later, and where they are now?"
After hearing this, Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Haha, they are doing well now. Uncle, Big Brother, and your grandfather are all doing well."
Xiaoshan and Qiqi are both living in the inner city now, so don't worry about their safety. However, their lives are a bit tight. Fortunately, my job is relatively stable, and your parents also have decent jobs; at least they can survive without worrying about food and drink!
As he spoke, Zhou Tong opened his drawer, took out an envelope, placed it on the table, and pushed it over.
Lu Yuan looked down at the envelope, which seemed to contain something.
So Lu Yuan picked up the envelope, and saw that there was only a USB flash drive inside. Zhou Tong pointed to the computer next to Lu Yuan: "Open it and take a look!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, then plugged the USB drive into the computer and opened it, finding a document inside.
The document was very large, and it took the computer a while to display its contents after Lu Yuan opened it.
The document contained numerous records of money transfers and expenditures, as well as locations searched and individuals and organizations contacted.
Lu Yuan was stunned after looking at it for a while. The digital transactions were enormous, all of which involved spending money on hiring people.
"This money is what we saved up to search for you. We never imagined you were actually there. We went back and forth so many times but couldn't find you. We never imagined you changed your name. My God, we've wasted so much energy!"
Lu Yuan felt like crying; they had already spent too much money on him and on finding him.
When he arrived, Lu Yuan had already heard the people from the Northern Border tell him about the situation there while he was in the car.
A new type of currency has emerged here. Unlike the currency used by the Blue Star people, their currency is universally accepted throughout the entire territory and is not subject to human control.
So Lu Yuan and Anna exchanged a glance and immediately made a decision: to ignore everything else and find their family first. Once they were sure their family was safe, they would deal with the rest later.
Anna looked at Lu Yuan and felt that he would not be returning to the underground city this time, and it seemed that the people in the underground city were also unable to get any specific information.
With a sigh, he had no choice but to hand over the remaining work with Zhou Tong. After all, he had come with a mission, and he couldn't just ignore what was going on in the underground city; that would seem inappropriate.
So Lu Yuan used the simplest and quickest method to tell Zhou Tong his purpose. After thinking for a while, Zhou Tong immediately came up with an idea.
"Since the special envoy is interfering in your affairs, I think it would be better to just let you handle this matter yourselves!"
"That's right, that's how I did it too. We have our own ideas, and a special envoy who doesn't know anything wouldn't understand our situation at all."
"They want us to fight alongside them? They're treating our lives like dirt! If you have connections in higher-ups, put in a good word for us and try to get this mission officially assigned!"
"No problem, leave this to me. Give me half an hour, and I'll be right back after I've finished! Wait for me! Don't go anywhere else!"
After saying that, Zhou Tongfei left the office.
