Lu Yuan was stunned after hearing what the other party said. He didn't expect that Du Heng, who seemed unassuming, would have such great ambitions.
"Wow! So you ended up like this? Just so he could see you?"
Du Heng nodded, then thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "That was my initial thought, but it changed later. Now I have hundreds of people following me, so I have to pull myself together. I can't just keep going on like this because of a fit of anger. There will always be a day when I get tired and understand things. Luckily, I understood that in advance. Now I live for these people!"
Lu Yuan glanced at the other man's eyes and seemed to detect a hint of leadership in Du Heng's eyes, which was completely different from his previous demeanor.
"Okay! I finally understand why you've become like this. By the way, now that we've covered that, tell me why you came to see me today!"
Du Heng stubbed out his cigarette, looked at Lu Yuan for a while, and said, "My base is lacking someone like you! I want you to come and help me manage it!"
Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard this.
"Damn, you've tried to poach my employees! I still have dozens of people to support!"
Du Heng smiled and said, "Of course, I know you have dozens of people to support! But it's precisely because I've taken a liking to your place that I want you to lend me a hand! So, are you interested?"
Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm really sorry, I really can't help you with this! I'm already overwhelmed with work. If I go to your place, I'll definitely have to abandon what I have here. Besides, I've taken over a group of people in other places. Although they don't need my management now, they'll definitely have to come over in the future!"
Du Heng stared at Lu Yuan in disbelief for a long while before saying, "What? You still have a hundred or so people here? That's great! I'm really short-staffed! I'm planning to build a place even better than the survivor base! I've already prepared the blueprints and everything!"
Lu Yuan sighed, somewhat unable to understand Du Heng's savior mentality. In this post-apocalyptic world, survival was difficult enough, and saving others was practically suicide. Although Lu Yuan was in charge of the lives of more than thirty people in the vicinity, these people were all useful to him.
"I'm sorry, I really can't go, and I don't have any plans to join other people. But we can cooperate, since you have some very advanced construction plans. If I ever want to build a survivor base in the future, we can work together."
Du Heng sighed and said, "Alright! I didn't expect you to refuse so decisively. Okay, cooperation is fine, I can provide you with the blueprints! But are you really not going to reconsider?"
Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "Too many people can easily lead to trouble, so it's best not to let just anyone in! After all, you're just one person, and the people below are all eyeing your position. In this dog-eat-dog world, it's not easy to survive!"
Du Heng smiled and said, "Alright! It seems we've hit a little roadblock! But it's okay, you'll figure it out later! By the way, what did you want to talk to me about?"
Lu Yuan nodded, then took out the nameplate from the key he had found in the abandoned factory and handed it to Du Heng.
Do you know about this new factory of the Luo family?
The other person took the nameplate and examined it for a while before speaking, "I've heard of a chemical technology company named Luo, apparently they make some kind of new materials, but it seems they've stopped production a long time ago. Are you looking for them?"
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and nodded.
"Yes, because I want to install a canopy, so I'd like to contact this company to see if they can get some materials to process it into a canopy for me."
Du Heng nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go back and ask around for you. I can't think of anything about the new Luo family factory right now! I'll just have to go back and figure it out and tell you! But I advise you not to bother with these things. They're really useless. These bloodthirsty black beetles are everywhere."
Lu Yuan smiled but didn't say anything.
So the two chatted for a while longer. When it was time for dinner, Lu Yuan invited Du Heng to have dinner at his house, but Du Heng declined, saying that if he really ate at Lu Yuan's house, he would become picky about food and wouldn't be able to eat those kinds of food in the future.
A few days later, Du Heng indeed sent Lu Yuan a message with the location of a place near Qingshuishui, which was the location of the Luo family's new factory.
Upon seeing the message, Lu Yuan was overjoyed and quickly put on his raincoat before rushing out of the house.
It was still pouring rain outside, and the water level in Lu Yuan's house had risen to half a meter high. The water level was even higher in other places. In order to make it easier for Lu Yuan to go out, he would choose to take his kayak.
Following the directions given by Du Heng, Lu Yuan drove the kayak towards the location of the new factory.
After driving for about an hour, Lu Yuan finally saw a dilapidated courtyard with a plaque hanging on it that was barely legible and read "Luo Family New Material Technology Co., Ltd."
"Great! This is it!"
Lu Yuan packed up the kayak and walked into the area. He looked around but didn't see anyone. So, Lu Yuan boldly walked in, passed through the two three-story buildings in front, and found an area behind the buildings.
