Upon hearing Lu Yuan say that he had come to discuss serious matters, Zhou Tong immediately adopted a serious expression and looked at Lu Yuan.
"I was arrested a couple of days ago, but I got some information from someone who promised to give us a ship full of fuel, about two hundred tons! However, it's docked at a port near the Bohai Sea, so I'm planning to send you there!"
After hearing this, Zhou Tong asked Biao Qiong in surprise, "What? Two hundred tons? Really? That much fuel?"
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "That's right! It's two hundred tons! It's said that a friend of his left it to him before he died! Now he doesn't need it anymore, so he gave it to me! That's why I was thinking of having you bring it over by boat! What do you think?"
Zhou Tong immediately nodded and said, "Great! It just so happens that all our machinery and equipment are currently in the process of being debugged. Because of the heavy rain, many parts have developed some rust, so we can't run out of fuel. Two hundred tons! That's great! We can use it to our heart's content from now on!"
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Tong continued, "I'll arrange when we'll depart!"
"The sooner the better! Even though there aren't many people left in the port, I'm still worried that someone might get there early and sail the ship away! Then we'll lose out!"
Zhou Tong quickly agreed: "That's right! We have to find some people to take us there! Here's what we'll do! I'll gather some people today, and we'll set off tomorrow! It's quite a long journey, so I'll need to bring a few more people!"
"No problem! Just tell me who you like! I'll prepare food for you!"
After discussing the matter, Lu Yuan returned home and began packing his things.
The next morning, Lu Yuan came out carrying several large bags, which were filled with vacuum-packed food, including a variety of meats and compressed vegetables, as well as some water. In order to make Zhou Tong and the others travel faster, Lu Yuan specially arranged two motorboats filled with fuel for them.
