As they chatted, Xiaoshan fell asleep without realizing it, her eyes slightly closed as she leaned against Lu Yuan's chest.
A few days later, the broadcast announced again the remaining slots for personnel entering the underground bunker.
"Oh no, there are less than 100,000 people left. Are the review team members reliable?" Zhou Tong was getting anxious, while Zhou Chen ran around laughing carefree, as if this apocalypse had nothing to do with her.
"I'll go ask, otherwise I won't feel confident."
Zhou Tong nodded, and then followed Lu Yuan to the review team. After arriving at the location, they looked for a few people, but found that Chen Linyu was not there.
"Damn it, could that bastard have taken our work and gone inside first?"
Lu Yuan frowned. This was highly likely. After all, although the other party had agreed, a verbal promise was of no guarantee at this point, and even a written guarantee couldn't ensure that the other party would keep their word.
"Wait a little longer. If this person doesn't come, I'll have to think of something."
Lu Yuan's heart sank and turned cold; it seemed that what he feared was really about to happen.
Sitting in the camp watching the crowds come and go, Lu Yuan felt he couldn't just sit and wait for death any longer. It had been three days, and the rabbit should have given birth to its cubs by now, but it hadn't shown up yet.
This is how Lu Yuan found Miao Chengyun.
"Hey Lu, when are you ever going to stop? Why do you keep bothering me?"
"I need to talk to you about something. Are you familiar with that Chen Linyu?"
"We wouldn't say we're that familiar. We've met before and eaten together. He's a decent person, but he's not very talkative and is always quiet. We don't really like to associate with him. If it weren't for the fact that he's the person in charge here, we wouldn't bother with him at all." Miao Chengyun seemed to take the other person very lightly, and he didn't hide anything when he spoke.
"Do you know where his family lives?"
Miao Chengyun suddenly felt a chill. He glanced at Lu Yuan, a hint of wariness in his eyes: "What are you going to do? Why are you looking for his family?"
"Don't ask me that. As long as you help me find her family, I can give you a generous sum of food, enough for you to eat for several months."
"What? So much food? Are you sure you want to give it to me?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Of course, you have to help me find their people first."
Miao Chengyun fell silent. Although he was a big shot in this black market, he was still somewhat intimidated by someone like Chen Linyu.
After thinking for a long time, he finally held up two fingers: "The plentiful food you mentioned seems a bit unreliable to me. How about this, give me two pigs, at least 100 jin each."
"No problem, when are we going?"
“I need to find out more first, but you can’t tell anyone about this.” Miao Chengyun was worried that Lu Yuan would betray him, so his eyes were filled with a hint of wariness.
"Don't worry, I have no feelings for you. Let's hurry, there aren't many spots left."
When the topic of identity tokens came up, a look of panic immediately appeared on Miao Chengyun's face. The boss of the black market still hadn't given them any answer. The entire black market was in chaos, especially as the days went by and the number of slots kept decreasing, which made them all somewhat anxious.
After explaining everything, Lu Yuan returned to the camp to await news, but Miao Chengyun came looking for him in the dark at midnight.
"Brother Lu, I've found it for you." Miao Chengyun whispered in Lu Yuan's ear, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.
Lu Yuan was startled and immediately sat up to look at the other person.
Miao Chengyun nodded again in affirmation: "What I said is true. Come with me. It seems they are planning something."
Lu Yuan quickly put on the clothes and followed the other person toward an upscale residential area.
The so-called upscale area is just a place with slightly better housing conditions compared to the working-class area.
In the upscale area, there are rows and rows of houses. Although most of them were built later, they are much better than the tents or shacks in the slums. At least they no longer have to endure the cold wind.
The residential area was winding and turning. Some members of the patrol team also came to patrol here, but when they saw Miao Chengyun, they were so frightened that they greeted him and immediately turned around and left.
Reaching a house, Miao Chengyun pursed his lips and said, "This is it."
Lu Yuan nodded and was about to go in when Miao Chengyun stopped him.
"You just went in without saying a word, is there something you forgot to give me?"
"Don't worry, I won't shortchange you what I'm owed. My whole family is over there, do you think I would shortchange you?"
"Haha, you don't seem like it. But what exactly do you plan to do with her family? Kidnap them? I advise you not to do that."
Lu Yuan glanced at the other party and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, how could I do something like kidnapping? Besides, Chen Linyu and I have had a meal together and have some relationship. What would I do with his family?"
"Alright, since you put it that way, I'll choose to believe you. But you really need to be careful. If you have any bad intentions, I advise you to stop now. Even if you get caught, I won't admit to knowing you!"
Lu Yuan gently patted the other person's shoulder: "Don't worry, he's very tight-lipped and won't give you away. Besides, there's no point in them arresting me. I don't plan to harm his family. I just want to ask what Chen Linyu has been up to."
