They got into an electric car together, and the seven of them drove towards another area. Lu Yuan then discovered that the survivor base was divided into two parts. One part was the place where he had just stayed, and the other part was the laboratory. These were relatively poor areas. The area around the laboratory was divided into two parts: the area to the east was the civilian area, and the area to the west was the wealthy area. The houses there were obviously newly built, and they looked very tall and new. The roads were no longer the old cement roads, but newly paved asphalt roads. The cars drove on them without making a sound.
After driving for about ten minutes, the car stopped in front of a white five-story building. The middle-aged man got out of the car first, opened the trunk, and carried the documents upstairs with the others. They were assigned to a huge office on the second floor, where all kinds of experimental equipment were quite complete.
Moreover, a small room was set up here, from which came the constant sounds of various small animals. Lu Yuan glanced inside and saw various animals locked in cages.
Besides the poultry and livestock we see every day, there are also squirrels, wild boars, and even some large lions and tigers, about a hundred species in total, which Lu Yuan hadn't expected for a moment.
The assistant's name was Ou Yun, and he was about twenty years old, around the same age as Lu Yuan. When he saw Lu Yuan glance into the small cubicle, he kindly introduced, "There are some existing creatures in there. Besides that, there are other places where there are probably tens of thousands of small creatures."
This was to prevent a major catastrophe from wiping out these creatures, which is why some species survived. Furthermore, these bio-pods also exist in other survivor bases.
Lu Yuan nodded thoughtfully. He thought to himself that it would be even better if he could get some small creatures out of here. However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment. The place was so heavily guarded, with cameras everywhere. It was basically impossible to actually do anything, and it would definitely bring him unnecessary trouble.
Lu Yuan was assigned to a small room specifically for monitoring data. In reality, monitoring data was nothing special, as he didn't understand any of these things. This work was all done by Ou Yun. Lu Yuan's job was simply to print out the data and hand it to Ou Yun.
They spent a boring morning in the office. Their lunch was no longer the newly introduced rat meat, but some green vegetables and a small amount of rice. Although Lu Yuan only ate about half full, he was still quite surprised to be able to eat this kind of food.
While eating, Ou Yun said, "We're only able to eat this rice because of you. If you hadn't come, we might be eating rotten rat meat every day. So thank you!"
Lu Yuan grinned. He hadn't expected that his arrival would improve the food for these people. So, he asked with some curiosity, "Does this mean that the people in these laboratories are able to eat different foods because of their individual and team contributions?"
Ou Yun took another bite of rice and mumbled, "Of course, if you could produce better results, but you're just doing nothing every day, the base definitely won't feed you. You haven't produced any results, so how can you expect to eat anything good? Being able to eat rat meat for free is already pretty good. Before you came, we'd been eating stinky rat meat for over a month. If we kept eating like this, I feel like I'd turn into a rat myself!"
Lu Yuan chuckled, then ate the last few mouthfuls of rice from his bowl in one go.
The afternoon seemed to drag on endlessly. Lu Yuan dozed off in front of his computer, but no one said a word. After all, he was now the most important person in the entire department. Although he wasn't needed for research and development or other tasks, he was the one who provided the raw materials, and everyone else was extremely interested in and grateful to him.
After returning to his residence, Lu Yuan couldn't help but call Du Heng.
"How's it going, Du Heng? Have you gotten in touch with Sister Xia yet? If this drags on any longer, I feel like I can't take it anymore," Lu Yuan complained.
Du Heng laughed heartily: "You've only been gone a few days and you can't even stay still? I just got in touch with Sister Xia. Just wait a bit. She's been out looking for a few people these past two days and should be back the day after tomorrow. Just wait a little longer!"
"Fine, whether you've explained things to her or not, I have absolutely nothing to do with him, so why is he arresting me?"
"He didn't tell me this, but those people are used to being arrogant and domineering. After all, they rely on their status as survivors' base to do whatever they want. Don't take it too seriously. I'll act as a mediator and mediate for you. I shouldn't make things too difficult for you!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan lay on the hard bed, looked up at a spider web above his head again, and then slowly fell asleep.
The next morning, Lu Yuan followed the crowd to his new office again, but this time it was a bit far. It took Lu Yuan about an hour to walk to the new office building.
After entering the large room, just as I was about to swipe my card in the lobby on the first floor, someone suddenly patted me on the shoulder from behind.
Lu Yuan turned around in surprise and saw that the other person was a very thin man wearing an extremely mismatched outfit and a smile on his face.
The other person smiled and said softly, "Hello, my name is Wu Tian, I work in the new materials research and development department, and I also work in this building. I heard that you guys managed to get your hands on chickens that can eat bloodthirsty black beetles?"
Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised, but still maintained a polite smile and nodded.
"Yes, this is the sword I brought. Who are you?"
The other person pointed to a room not far away and said, "I'm from the materials department on the first floor. My name is Wu Tian. I'm quite interested in you. If you have time, come down and chat. We don't have any tasks to do right now."
Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. If the other person was interested in him, could he be a gay man?
However, when Lu Yuan heard that the other party was from the materials department, he quickly nodded. He never expected that the person he had been searching for everywhere to come to him, and that his studio was right downstairs from him.
After chatting for a while, Lu Yuan went upstairs again. After seeing his supervisor, he nodded slightly and sat down in his small office. He continued to repeat the same mechanical actions. Lu Yuan felt that he was about to break down. It was so boring. There were cameras everywhere, watching their every move, and they no longer had any privacy left.
