There are now more than 200,000 survivors in the industrial zone, which is the entire population of the industrial zone.
Originally, this place had a population of over 500,000, but due to certain reasons, the mortality rate was very high, causing the population to plummet to less than half in less than a year.
Upon seeing the convoy return, Zhou Tong immediately instructed his men to open the gate.
The moment Lu Yuan got out of the car, Zhou Tong was the first to rush up and give him a bear hug.
"Haha! Lu Yuan, you're finally back! Are you alright with the middle management?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's nothing! I'm fine! If anything had happened, you probably wouldn't be seeing me!"
"Haha! It's good that you're alright! It's good that you're alright! The situation here is basically stable now! When are we leaving?"
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said as he walked, "Let's get everything prepared here first, then we'll take it and leave!"
"Great! I've been waiting for this day for ages!" Zhou Tong felt a surge of anticipation.
Lu Yuan looked at Zhou Tong: "Missing Zhou Chen?"
"Sigh! I wonder how that little girl is doing now!"
"Haha! Great! They're probably in class right now!"
Zhou Tong was slightly taken aback: "What? Class? In the space?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes! I had Xiao Shan and Kong Hanting and a few other girls organize a school, and the thousands of children rescued from the middle class have basically all enrolled now!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Zhou Tong's face immediately lit up with joy: "Thank you, Lu Yuan!"
Lu Yuan waved his hand gently: "No need to thank me, thank Xiaoshan instead!"
"How is Xiaoshan? Has she regained her memories?"
"Sigh! Still nothing!"
Lu Yuan sighed and continued, "But it's alright now! Even though I haven't regained my memories, I feel like I'm in love!"
Zhou Tong smiled and continued, "How far along is Xiao Shan's pregnancy? About three months, right?"
Lu Yuan thought for a moment: "Hmm! It's been about three months!"
"Then I congratulate you in advance!"
Lu Yuan smiled, then picked up the report and looked at it.
Zhou Tong, sitting on a chair nearby, explained, "We've compiled a detailed inventory of everything in the industrial park. Here's a list of some of the equipment; there are over two thousand different types, totaling more than one hundred thousand pieces! Our engineers are working day and night to repair them!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "Okay! Take me there in a bit! I'll bring all the repaired equipment into the dimensional space! Is everything here ready?"
Zhou Tong shook his head: "How could that be! We are currently short of fuel, and most of our construction vehicles are broken down. We are basically relying on manual labor for transportation now."
"Phew! No rush! We'll be able to leave in a few more days! I'll take care of these things in the next few days, and I'll just throw anything I can't move into my spatial storage later!"
"Okay! It's good that you're here! Should we continue handling the people from the urban area?"
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and shook his head: "No need! Today is the last day they stipulated! They probably won't let anyone leave the city for the next few days!"
After looking at the reports for a while, Lu Yuan put down his things and walked outside.
Since most of the fuel is now used by engineering vehicles, Lu Yuan has no choice but to ride a bicycle to Zhenxing Technology Company.
Upon arriving at the destination, Lu Yuan met Sun Tao, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. The couple seemed to be getting along quite well in the lab. When they met, they walked down from the lab arm in arm, their eyes filled with affection for each other.
"Ahem!" Lu Yuan cleared his throat at the two of them from downstairs.
Hearing Lu Yuan cough, the two looked at him gratefully. When they saw that it was Lu Yuan, their faces showed a mixture of shock and joy.
"Lu Yuan, when did you arrive?"
Sun Tao quickly went downstairs and came to Lu Yuan's side.
"Hehe! I just arrived! And I saw you two coming down hand in hand! How's your relationship going?"
A blush appeared on Zheng Wei's face, but it was much better than before.
"That's great! Thanks to you! We haven't seen each other in so long, I've been busy making the antidote!"
"Hmm! By the way, how's the antidote going? Have we run out of herbs?"
"It's almost ready. The main difficulty is the extraction, but we've prepared nearly ten thousand doses of the potion! We were just about to ask when you would come to collect them! We didn't expect you to show up so soon!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes, this time I plan to take these potions back with me and then leave with you!"
Zheng Wei immediately became interested and asked, "I've never been to that mysterious space you've been to before! I'm finally going to be able to see it for myself!"
"Hehe! You'll probably be even busier once you're inside!"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Lin Tao looked at Lu Yuan with suspicion: "Is there anything in there that needs to be studied?"
Lu Yuan nodded gently, and then told Lin Tao what his grandfather had said yesterday.
"Here's the thing, I suspect the growth rate of those plants is being affected by something, so I wanted you to take a look!"
"No problem! When do we leave?"
Lu Yuan glanced at the laboratory and continued, "We should have enough antidotes, so I plan to bring the entire laboratory in! However, refining these drugs requires nuclear waste, but I don't want to bring such highly polluting materials in. Do you have any other solutions?"
