The two men walked over together. Wu Tian looked Lu Yuan up and down again, a hint of wanting to see his true face flashing in his eyes. But Lu Yuan just smiled and let them look him over.
"Brother, I didn't expect you to be so secretive. You even have a small base outside. I'm not getting along well with that guy, so why don't I just go with you? I heard we're leaving tonight. Isn't that a bit too rushed?"
Just as Lu Yuan was about to speak, Chen Bin quickly interrupted, "Rushed? Not rushed at all! Are you planning to stay here any longer? What's so special about this place that you miss? Alright, stop reminiscing and hurry up and pack your things. You can leave tonight!"
Wu Tian could only shrug and say, "Okay, that's the only way then. I'll pack my things this afternoon. It's better not to go to work this afternoon. Seeing that disgusting person makes me angry. Out of sight, out of mind. Let's go together. By the way, do you have a research lab there?"
Lu Yuan's lips curled slightly, and he said, "Not for now, but if you need it, we can help you find some. There are many processing plants, universities, and research labs outside that are our territory. Whatever you want, I'll find it for you!"
Wu Tian finally nodded in satisfaction: "That's good, that's good. I hate being bored the most. If I have nothing to do, I can kill myself with boredom all day long. As long as I can find something to do, that's fine!"
After the three said their goodbyes, Lu Yuan returned to his room, secretly glanced outside, and then called Zhou Tong.
"Brother Zhou, I might need your help with something today. Please wait outside the survivor base around midnight tonight. I'll be sending over a few people, and you can meet them and bring them back to our place!"
Zhou Tong paused for a moment before saying, "Okay, no problem, I'll be there tonight. By the way, do you need a car?"
"Let's not drive. Driving will make too much noise, and it might attract their attention, which would be troublesome!"
"Okay, then be careful. I'll meet you outside. As soon as they leave, I'll take them away immediately, so don't worry! By the way, I ran into your girlfriend yesterday. She asked me when you were coming. Why didn't you reply to her message?" Zhou Tong said, his tone tinged with resentment. Clearly, Lu Yuan's failure to reply to Wei Xiaoshan's message made him think that Lu Yuan was out having a good time and causing trouble.
"Sigh, mainly because Chen Bin is bored and very busy, and I'm now an informant for the search team, so I try to minimize communication with my family to prevent being eavesdropped on!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Zhou Tong burst into laughter: "Brother, you're being too cautious out there! It's not like what they say on TV, with bugging devices everywhere. No way! Even if they wanted to eavesdrop on your phone calls, modern phones have anti-eavesdropping features. They won't hear what you're saying, so you can rest assured!"
The two chatted for a while longer before Lu Yuan hung up the phone.
At 10 p.m., except for the lights in the factory, everything else was turned off. Taking this opportunity, Lu Yuan quickly gathered a few people together. Gu Tong was carrying a small package on her back and holding a timid little girl in her hand. The little girl kept stamping her feet, clearly nervous.
The little girl in his arms couldn't help but lean closer to his thigh, clearly frightened by the tense atmosphere. Lu Yuan stepped forward and gently comforted her.
"Don't worry, we'll be out in a bit, then you'll be free. Just call out to Tong and go with him, he'll take you back to our base!"
Gu Tong just kept nodding, and it was clear from his arm that the other person was still very nervous.
After waiting for about five minutes, Wu Tian and his daughter Chen Bin came rushing over from a distance, carrying large and small bags.
When the little girl saw Lu Yuan again, a cute look flashed in her eyes, and then she pointed to the person next to Lu Yuan and said, "Hey, you weird uncle! Is that your daughter over there?"
Upon hearing his words, Lu Yuan was immediately speechless. What was this all about? Did I, at my age, look like the father of a child around ten years old? Am I that old?
Chen Bin, who was standing nearby, quickly stopped the outspoken little girl and glared at her. The girl seemed to realize that she had gone too far with her joke and stuck out her tongue. However, she looked at her father with a look as if he were a playmate. Chen Bin did not stop her and let go of her hand. Xiao Yu then ran towards the somewhat timid little girl.
Children are naturally inclined to become familiar with each other in no time when they are with a lot of people, and they can forget even the scariest things. Sure enough, the two little girls became familiar with each other in less than five minutes. Gu Tong's child was a little timid at first, but after being with Xiao Yu, she gradually became bolder, and the two of them were even playing together hand in hand.
Several people hid in an empty room, waiting for the patrolmen.
Wu Tian looked at the time on his phone, then glanced at the people patrolling outside. After a while, he finally said, "The patrolmen come every twenty minutes, which is enough time for us to run outside. However, according to the laws of relativity, they will come in while we run out, so the time will definitely be halved, which is ten minutes. When they come in next time, we must leave earlier to avoid running into them, and we need to be fast!"
