Three days have passed, but Lu Yuan still hasn't found a way out.
Outside the dimensional space, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen, and Lu Yuan's heart sank to the bottom.
The only people who know about this are his family and closest friends. Lu Yuan hasn't told anyone else yet, so as not to cause greater panic.
I checked the outside again, but there was still no movement.
Apart from the complete darkness and the faint sound of water, Lu Yuan found nothing else.
"Damn it, am I... going to be stuck here forever?"
Lu Yuan's mind was in complete turmoil, and he didn't know what to do.
If they are truly trapped here for life, and if the disasters on Earth are resolved, then the one million people here will live forever, and their descendants will also live forever here.
Lu Yuan didn't want this to happen, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
For a moment, a mix of negative emotions overwhelmed Lu Yuan, making it impossible for him to think clearly.
During dinner, Xiao Shan saw Lu Yuan sitting under the golden fruit tree in a daze and gently sat down in front of him.
"Still thinking about something?"
Lu Yuan nodded silently.
"Don't overthink it. What if someone breaks through the wall from the other side? Or what if the concrete isn't strong enough and gets washed away by water?"
Lu Yuan turned to look at Xiao Shan, shook his head with a wry smile: "I still don't know how thick this concrete layer is. When we were excavating, we dug more than four meters deep, but we still couldn't find an exit. Now everything is over, and we may have to live here forever!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan painfully scratched his newly grown hair.
Seeing Lu Yuan in so much pain, Xiao Shan gently patted his shoulder: "Don't overthink it. Actually, this place is quite nice! If you really have nothing to do, you can do something else. There's no need to stay here all the time! Think about it, everyone here is treating you as their last hope. You can't let them down!"
Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.
"Isn't everything fine here?"
Xiao Shan rolled her eyes: "Do you think just not starving to death is good enough? Don't forget, your original plan was to build a city of a million people! Now, you should start planning properly!"
"A city of millions... Phew, that seems like it... But... But I have absolutely no experience with this!"
"Haha, experience? Don't forget, we now have a population of millions. Your experience and brains alone are simply not enough. You need to learn to let your subordinates help you come up with solutions! You are a leader, you need to learn to utilize talent. Building a city is not something you can do alone!"
"Um... how do you know so much?" Lu Yuan couldn't help but look at Xiao Shan.
"This... is actually just like school! When I'm teaching, I assign tasks to the students in the class, and I also select some capable students to serve as class representatives and class officers. Isn't that the same? However, building a city and managing a class are different, but I think they should be similar!"
Lu Yuan suddenly felt a sense of realization.
“That’s right. Although we can’t leave now, we should be able to leave here someday! Now I should start preparing what we need in the city!”
"Yes! That's exactly how a leader should be. Keep it up!"
Lu Yuan nodded and looked at Xiao Shan affectionately: "Thank you!"
"Why thank me? I just feel sorry for you seeing you doing nothing every day. You have such a powerful appeal and influence, it's not good to waste it! Now you need to start organizing and building the city!"
"Okay! I understand!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan stood up, intending to find someone to discuss these matters, but Xiao Shan handed him a plate.
"You haven't eaten for two days, eat something! How can you handle things properly without good health!"
Lu Yuan took the plate and grinned foolishly at Xiao Shan: "It's so good to have you!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xiao Shan blushed immediately: "Don't...don't talk nonsense! I'll go do my work now!"
After saying that, Xiao Shan quickly stood up and left.
Lu Yuan sat under a big tree, eating while thinking about things.
After Xiaoshan's encouragement, Lu Yuan understood that instead of doing nothing now, he should do something in the dimensional space to keep himself busy. If the concrete layer accidentally cracked one day, he would be fully prepared. After leaving the fortress and finding a new habitat, he could lead his people out of the dimensional space to start a new life.
Lu Yuan ate while deep in thought, and his mind slowly began to work.
...
The middle floor of the Yuanfang Company building.
Chen Zhongzheng sat in his office, a cigarette dangling from his lips, silently looking at the report in his hand. The ashtray was already full of cigarette butts.
I've been holding the report in my hand for at least half an hour, without even turning a single page.
The secretary standing to the side asked Chen Zhongzheng several times, but Chen Zhongzheng did not hear her.
"Ahem, Mr. Chen, what do you think... should we still proceed with this procurement plan? Longshi Group has raised the price by several percentage points again, and if we buy it back, we won't make any profit at all!"
