But when they arrived at their destination and saw the row of three-story buildings in front of them, everyone's eyes were filled with horror.
"Mr. Lu, is this... is this our new place?"
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded slightly, pointing to the houses behind him.
"Now, I hereby announce that the Future Mining Company's new employee quarters are officially completed. Everyone, let's begin moving in!"
Everyone cheered again, then happily carried their belongings into the room. Each person received a number tag from Hei Zi, which showed their room number. When they first opened the door to their new home, they found that the room not only had a large Simmons bed, a desk, and a chair, but also their own bathroom. This kind of environment was extremely superior in this post-apocalyptic world.
Everyone rushed to their new homes and began to carefully decorate them. Although it was late at night, the lights were still on. No one felt tired. Despite having been busy all day, everyone was still full of energy.
Lu Yuanhei, Chen Kaiming, and the other two, who were not far away, were smoking cigarettes. Seeing the joyful expressions on everyone's faces, a look of satisfaction appeared on their own.
Hei Zi looked at Lu Yuan with a pained expression: "Don't you feel any remorse? You spent over ten million on this furniture, you're going to lose a fortune!"
"Hehe, instead of letting this ten million become a pile of waste paper, taking up space, why not get something practical? Anyway, these things on the black market are all junk, so why not take them and use them ourselves!"
“That’s right, I think Lu Yuan is right. After all, money is just a piece of waste paper if it’s not spent. Only by using it can its value be realized. Besides, the morale in the camp is higher than ever before. I believe that even if someone invites them to go back upstairs to live, no one will be willing!”
The three men chatted while smoking cigarettes. To prepare this home, Lu Yuan had specifically contacted Daozi and even traded a whole truckload of seafood for these supplies.
Although there was no food, drink, or electrical equipment inside, they managed to find a way to bring over the furniture, which gave everyone a cozy home. The entire community has more than 30 buildings and nearly 400 apartments, which is more than enough to house the people in the mining area. Many rooms are still empty, since there are only about 300 people in the community.
The next morning, everyone gathered downstairs in their respective apartment buildings and started chatting.
"Hey, you know what, this house is really nice. It has an electric fan, a washbasin, a toilet, a big Simmons bed, and even a desk and other things. It's a hundred times better than where I used to live!"
"Of course! Compared to where I used to live, this place is heaven! My old place was a doghouse. I wouldn't want to go back even if you gave me a million dollars!"
"Oh right, it seems there's a new mission today. Are we going to start a new mine?"
“…”
Everyone speculated, wondering what new tasks might be assigned today. Lu Yuan had already announced a work stoppage for the day and indicated that there were new tasks to be done, but no one knew exactly what those tasks were, so they could only stand in front of the door and wait.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Lu Yuan emerged from the new laboratory and saw the workers gathered in the square, which immediately filled him with excitement.
"Everyone, I'm so sorry to have called you all here so early. I wonder if you're all satisfied with your new homes?"
"Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied, I couldn't be more satisfied! Mr. Lu, thank you so much!"
"Yes, Mr. Lu, if it weren't for you, my family might still be homeless!"
"This place is like a dream. Although it's vastly different from before the apocalypse, it's absolutely perfect!"
Hearing everyone's chatter, Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction: "Good. Since everyone is satisfied, let's begin today's new task!"
As he spoke, Lu Yuan waved towards the direction of the laboratory behind him, and then a truck driven by several people stopped in the square.
Everyone craned their necks and stood on tiptoe to look at the vehicle, but they had no idea what it was carrying. However, a faint scent of grass wafted from the vehicle, which surprised everyone.
Then Lu Yuan coughed, stopping the commotion in the crowd. He then lifted the tarpaulin off the first truck, revealing the contents of the truck bed: half-foot-long pieces of grass and turf.
"Today, our task is to fill this area behind me with all this turf!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, the scene erupted in an uproar. No one had expected that they hadn't seen green plants in so long, and yet there was so much turf here. Their task today was to lay this turf on the already cultivated flat land behind them. How could they not be tempted?
"My God, there's grass everywhere! No way, how did they get so much grass and turf?"
"I haven't seen green grass in ages. With so much green grass, I doubt you could even buy it anywhere."
"Good heavens, am I seeing things? That's all grass! How big must that area be to cover it all!"
