However, to everyone's surprise, just as he jumped down, he suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. He discovered that there wasn't much dirty water in the seemingly deep pit. When Gu Tong stood up, he realized that the dirty water only reached about his ankles.
"Oh, I was so scared! I thought it was much deeper, I was even ready to dive in, but it's so shallow! You guys better come down right away!"
Upon seeing this, Chen Bin and Wu Tian breathed a sigh of relief. However, the two grown men immediately felt embarrassed, as their first opportunity to go down had been stolen by a woman, and they couldn't save face.
So the two jumped down one after the other. After Lu Yuan helped the little girl down, he nodded to the crowd and said, "Alright, let's go!"
Chen Bin glanced at Lu Yuan and then said, "Then let's meet another day!"
Lu Yuan nodded and then put the manhole cover on.
Just as Lu Yuan closed the manhole cover, a violent coughing sound came from afar. Lu Yuan thought about hiding, but there wasn't a single blade of grass nearby, and no cover whatsoever. If he wanted to escape their pursuit, he either had to run away or try to fool them.
However, Lu Yuan felt that it wouldn't be appropriate for him to run out, because there was a searchlight in the distance, shining it back and forth against the corner of the wall. If he was having a particularly bad run of luck, he might be caught by the patrolmen behind the light. If they saw him acting suspiciously, they would definitely come up and question him.
But seeing the sounds getting closer and closer, Lin Chen gritted his teeth and could only move a few steps to face the wall.
Just then, a bright beam of light shone directly behind Lu Yuan, followed by a loud shout: "Who's that person by the wall? What are you doing? Are you trying to escape?!"
After he finished speaking, several patrolmen rushed over with bright flashlights in their hands.
Lu Yuan quickly pulled up his pants, then raised his hands with an embarrassed smile and said, "Sir, you've got it wrong. I just needed to pee, so I peed against the wall. You're not going to forbid me from peing here!"
The other person glanced at Lu Yuan, then shone their flashlight into the corner of the wall. Sure enough, they found a urine stain on the wall, but said with a hint of surprise, "Is this your own toilet? You can just pee anywhere! Fine! Which organization are you from?"
Lu Yuan immediately revealed a smug smile, then said somewhat reluctantly, "No way, sir, it's just a quick pee! You're going to fine me for this!"
After speaking, Lu Yuan took out half a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and pointed it at the other party. When the other party saw the cigarettes in Lu Yuan's hand, a glint flashed in their eyes, and then one of the men took the cigarettes.
"Alright, get out of here. If I ever find you urinating or defecating anywhere again, I'll confiscate your tools of the trade!"
Lu Yuan nodded, waved to the other person, and then fled as fast as he could.
The next morning, Lu Yuan was still worried that something else might happen, so he didn't delay any longer, grabbed his exit card and headed out the door.
Having successfully left the survivor base, Lu Yuan saw the scene outside again. Although it was still pouring rain and the water on the ground was waist-deep, almost everywhere was flooded, except for a few places on higher ground that were slightly better. However, Lu Yuan felt a sense of freedom, something he had never experienced in the survivor base.
I jogged all the way to my place. I hadn’t been home for more than ten days. At this moment, I missed my parents and Wei Xiaoshan.
After finally knocking on her own door, Xiao Shan quickly ran over and opened it. When she saw Lu Yuan, she immediately gave him a big hug.
Lu Yuan gently patted Xiaoshan's back and then talked about his past experiences during this period.
After changing into slightly cleaner clothes, Lu Yuan felt utterly exhausted. Although he hadn't done much in the past few days, watching others work hard at the base made him feel sore all over.
After having a meal at home, Lu Yuan summoned everyone to the factory area, where some people sat in the spacious factory office.
"It's about time we started planning our evacuation. Although we've already bought the land in Jincheng, we haven't built any houses yet. That's why I called you all here today to discuss this matter!"
Lu Yuan looked at everyone and said that he had actually calculated the time before he came. Now, nearly nine months had passed since the second year of the apocalypse. Although the Bloodthirsty Black Beetles still seemed somewhat ferocious, they would gradually disperse in a few months. The next disaster would follow one after another, and the next disaster would be even more severe than these.
Therefore, Lu Yuan had to build a new house for them and move to the new place. Although he was reluctant to leave this spacious house, there was no other way. After all, this place really couldn't withstand the next wave of disaster.
After hearing Lu Yuan start the discussion, Chen Bin, who was sitting not far away, pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Zhou and I have also discussed this matter. In Jincheng, we are implementing a joint construction of two bases. He also told me about the geographical location, the surrounding mineral resources, and some supporting facilities."
Therefore, I feel that Shanxi Province is more suitable than our area. After all, the population there is sparse, and the damage is not as severe, unlike Qingshui City, which, due to its large population, would feel unbearable should a wave of refugees break out.
