That evening, Lu Yuan excitedly told everyone in the camp about it. Some people were very happy to hear this, since they were able to enter the third-phase camp, but others were a little panicked. They could only enter the third phase after completing the mission, but now they had to leave the comfort of the fourth phase and go out into the icy wilderness to plug the leaks.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Lu Yuan immediately had a general idea. He was not a dictator, but he did not want to change his plans because of the opinions of a few people. As for those who disagreed, Lu Yuan naturally had a way to deal with them. The simplest and most direct way was to issue the task directly. Those who did not want to do it could leave the group directly. For those who were a little more humane, he might just paint a rosy picture for them in advance, describing the various benefits of entering the underground fortress.
However, time was of the essence and the task was urgent, so Lu Yuan didn't have time to describe the inside to them directly, because he himself had never been inside, so how could he know what the inside of the fortress was like!
"I know many people may not be willing to go outside and complete this seemingly impossible task! But I still want to say that we have already accepted this task! If anyone wants to quit halfway, they can come and report to me! I will definitely not stop them!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan went back to his office tent with his hands behind his back.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment in the square, and eventually a few people decided to leave the group.
The lights gradually dimmed. Many people in the camp were already asleep, but Lu Yuan was still sitting on a chair in the tent, smoking and watching the third small team arrive.
"Boss Lu... Boss Lu, we don't plan to participate in this mission!"
Lu Yuan nodded, not even glancing at the other person, and pointed: "Fill out the application form yourself!"
The other person said "oh," and then bent over and started writing and drawing.
"Boss Lu, it's filled out! Take a look!"
"Okay! Put it there!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan waved to the other party.
Seeing the group leave, Lu Yuan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"Hmph! You think you can just leave? No way! When you were living the high life, you all treated me like a treasure, and now that there's a mission, you're all planning to run away! You really think I'm a sucker!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan tore up all the application forms and threw them into the trash can.
After waiting all night, Lu Yuan received five waves of applications, but he rejected them all without exception. Now he wants to leave? Ha! Too late!
The next morning, the group arrived at the square in an orderly fashion once again. Standing next to Lu Yuan was Liu Dafa. The other groups looked at them with a sense of disbelief, as if they were looking at idiots. After all, whether they could actually repair the leaks outside the fortress was another matter; their lives were the most important thing. They didn't believe that Lu Yuan and his group could complete the mission.
Moreover, they felt a sense of relief, thankfully their application form submitted a few days ago had not been approved. If it had been approved, they would have been the ones setting off today!
The people who submitted their application forms to Lu Yuan last night all looked ashen-faced.
"Boss Lu, it really didn't pass?"
Lu Yuan looked at them with a hint of regret: "Sigh! I'm really sorry, that bastard Gu Wenzhong just won't approve it for us! So..."
Several people were so pale they could barely stand. After sighing for a long time, they looked at Gu Wenzhong on the stage, who was rambling on and on, and their eyes radiated intense hatred.
Xiao Shan gently pinched Lu Yuan's hand, saying, "Yesterday, Gu Wenzhong came to ask if anyone wanted to leave. Why didn't you let them leave?"
"Hehe! We're short-staffed right now. How can they leave after they've eaten and drunk their fill? They have to work! Otherwise, with the dangerous work outside, are we just going to suffer in silence?"
"But... isn't doing this a bit unfair?"
"It's alright, even if there's anything unfair about it, we won't treat them unfairly!"
After Gu Wenzhong finished speaking about his situation, he glanced at Lu Yuan.
"Alright! Everyone, get back to what you're doing! Groups 7 and 3, stay behind!"
So the other groups left one after another, leaving only about two hundred people in the huge square.
"Lu Yuan, haha! Am I saying you're an idiot or a genius? You dared to take on such a difficult task? I'm truly impressed!"
Gu Wenzhong's eyes flashed with unwavering determination.
"Heh! There are always idiots who think we can't complete the mission. Well, we'll just have to wait and see!"
Lu Yuan responded without any politeness. Gu Wenzhong was about to get angry, but he held back and gave Lu Yuan a cold look.
"Then I'll be waiting for you! Let's see if you can come back unscathed!"
After saying that, Gu Wenzhong left.
Soon, Feng Yuanheng from the engineering department arrived with several people, carrying a large stack of rolled-up blueprints. They were covered in sweat, clearly overwhelmed by the projects.
"Chief Engineer Feng, thank you for your hard work!"
Lu Yuan quickly walked over and gently shook hands with the other person.
Feng Yuanheng nodded: "Yes! Time is short, I have to go to Group 104 next, so to put it simply, your work location is here!"
As he spoke, the other person unfolded the drawing in his hand and pointed to a place marked with "103".
