Lu Yuan nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Uncle Chen, as long as you help me contact them and meet them, I'll handle the rest! I promise I won't cause you any trouble! But I have a question: why are they so afraid of others knowing their whereabouts? They're just a group of geological experts!"
"Sigh! The members of this group are very complicated. They are all top scholars in the industry, as well as some hackers and scientists. They are talents that all regions want to bring back at any cost. However, you should have heard that some regions have already established survivor bases, where a large number of scientific and technological talents are imprisoned. These people are afraid of being captured!"
Lu Yuan scratched his head, thinking of the survivor base he had encountered in Shanxi Province. The situation there was indeed not optimistic. Because many underground forces controlled it, the experimental personnel captured there did not live a particularly good life. Although they had no worries about food and clothing, their daily work was quite complicated, and the cooperation between various departments was also quite imperfect. Without research results, they would not have food to eat, and these scientists were often hungry.
Thinking about this, Lu Yuan immediately understood why these people were so afraid of their information being leaked. After all, there were some experimental departments in Zone 5. They were like guinea pigs, locked in a solid base, dealing with all kinds of experimental data and laboratories every day, with absolutely no personal privacy.
"Okay, I understand!"
Chen Kaiming glanced at Lu Yuan and asked, "Is something on your mind? You can tell me, these people are extremely dangerous, there's really no need to contact them unless absolutely necessary! Tell me, maybe I can help you!"
Hearing Chen Kaiming's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Since arriving in District 5, he had been wary of everyone, worried that one day his secret would be discovered and become a handle for others to use against him, putting him in a passive position. However, Lu Yuan felt that his relationship with Chen Kaiming was somewhat like that of a mentor and friend. Although Chen Kaiming was his superior at the time, their relationship had never progressed.
However, after spending some time together, Lu Yuan felt that Chen Kaiming's personality was quite to his liking. At least he didn't find that the other party had any ulterior motives towards him. In this cold post-apocalyptic world, the relationships between people had become much more harmonious. Lu Yuan was basically a lone wolf. However, every time he saw Chen Kaiming, he felt that the other party gave him the illusion of being an elder.
"Okay, I'm not actually single. I have family and a wife! I was forced to come here!" Lu Yuan finally decided to tell his secret, but he didn't go into too much detail. He was a little worried about being too specific. He wasn't afraid that Chen Kaiming would reveal his secret, but it would be troublesome if the other party wanted to help him unintentionally reveal it.
Then Lu Yuan told Chen Kaiming about his story. He only briefly described his family, explaining that his family was currently in Shanxi Province, but a severe earthquake had occurred there, and his family had completely lost contact with him. Therefore, he had been trying to leave the area to find his family.
After listening to Lu Yuan's account, Chen Kaiming fell into deep thought again. After a long while, he finally sighed and said, "I didn't expect your experience to be so bizarre. Well, I really don't have any good ideas on how to help you find your family. However, I've decided to contact this mysterious organization for you. Whether it will be successful depends on you! But before we go, I think we need to polish your identity a bit! But this can't be rushed. They contact people individually, so I can only tell them about your situation when they contact me again. Also, you need to be prepared; their price is quite high!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "I know that, then I'll thank Uncle Chen in advance!"
Chen Zhengming waved his hand and laughed, "Don't thank me yet, we don't even know if this will work out! By the way, tell Fatty Zhu to behave himself for the time being and not to show his face. If the Knife Gang finds out, we won't get this money!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Chen, I know what I'm doing. I'll remind him in the next few days!"
"Okay, that's good then. Let's leave it at that for now! I'll contact you again when the people over there notify me, and then we'll arrange for Fatty Zhu to leave!"
After settling the matter, Lu Yuan returned to his residence. There were basically no comfortable places to live in the slums. When he got to his house, Lu Yuan immediately regretted entrusting it to Chen Yan to manage. He figured it was almost cleaned up by now, and going back would mean starting all over again. Lu Yuan was too lazy to do it anymore, so he simply put on his clothes and lay down on the half-collapsed house to sleep.
However, Lu Yuan couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned. He kept thinking about his family. If Chen Zhengming hadn't told him about this today, he wouldn't have been so anxious. But now that he had a way in, Lu Yuan couldn't wait to contact that mysterious organization.
Filled with longing for his hometown, Lu Yuan didn't go to bed until very late.
...
With the initial investment, Chen Zhengming quickly obtained the necessary permits to enter and exit the restricted area. Although he hadn't been in contact with the mysterious organization, he still had to do what needed to be done. The faster he started mining, the greater the profits would be; who knew what other disasters awaited him?
