Lu Yuan looked at the food on his plate and then prepared to find a place to eat. Suddenly, he saw the young man who had greeted him earlier, so Lu Yuan walked over to him.
"Hey bro, is there anyone else sitting here?"
The other person, holding chopsticks and picking up potatoes, nodded and said, "No one's here, just sit anywhere!"
Lu Yuan nodded, placed the plate on the table, and sat down.
"By the way, you seem to know this place very well. Did you used to work around here?"
Lu Yuan picked up a piece of potato and asked casually.
The other person nodded: "Geological expert, Jock!"
After saying that, the other person reached up and touched the oil stains on their clothes, then held the hand out to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback, then quickly shook hands with the other person.
"Oh, my name is Lu... Tian Zhiguang!"
"Tian Zhiguang... Okay! Your name sounds rather old-fashioned! You don't look that old!"
"Haha! I'm thirty-seven!"
Lu Yuan chuckled, his voice sounding out of place for someone who was thirty-seven.
"I really didn't realize that! When you were talking just now, I thought you were a young man in your twenties!"
Then the two started chatting. Jock was a very talkative person and had his own insights on many things, including the issue of how to deal with the steel frame layer. He even had his own solution.
"We can't just do repairs on the steel frame layer. We should kill the ants while preparing for insect prevention, find the termite nests and kill all the termites inside. Only in this way can we solve the problem once and for all. Otherwise, no matter how hard we work, these termites will come back sooner or later!"
Lu Yuan nodded in agreement: "Yes! I didn't expect Brother Qiao to be so knowledgeable! By the way! Will you be in the office then?"
"Of course not! We're technical staff! We're meant to be on the front lines!"
After saying that, Qiao Ke looked at Lu Yuan, as if he wanted to say something, but then he held back.
Seeing the other person's hesitant expression, Lu Yuan knew that this Qiao Ke looked down on people like him who got in through connections.
However, Lu Yuan was overjoyed when he learned that the other party was a technician who could enter the front line. After all, the situation of technicians is different from that of ordinary workers. Ordinary workers have no freedom in the places they enter. Their work is to work well and plug the holes in the steel frame as soon as possible.
However, the technical team is different. They are responsible for the safety inspection of the steel frame structure in the entire steel frame area, as well as geological exploration and the search for termite nests. All of these tasks require the technical personnel to go there.
And this Joker happens to be a geological expert. The project he's in charge of is exploring the possibility of water leakage in the rock layers. If Lu Yuan can follow him, there's a good chance he'll be able to find a way into the upper-level area. Once he enters the upper-level area, Lu Yuan will have a chance to leave the fortress.
Upon thinking of this, Lu Yuan immediately had an idea.
So Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and looked at the other person, saying, "Ahem, Brother Qiao, do you think you need any assistants?"
Jock was munching on a dry biscuit when he heard Lu Yuan say that, so he immediately looked up at Lu Yuan.
"What's the meaning?"
"Oh! I just don't really want to go to the office! I want to go outside and have a look around!"
"Haha! Bro, stop kidding! You want to go on an adventure with me? No way! It's really dangerous there! People could die! You've spent so much money, don't go looking for trouble!"
"Brother, I'm serious, I don't want to be a loser anymore!"
After he finished speaking, Lu Yuan's eyes widened and his face turned red.
Seeing Lu Yuan's expression, Qiao Ke finally stopped laughing. He looked at Lu Yuan and asked in a low voice, "Brother, something's wrong! What's wrong? You know, the steel frame area is extremely dangerous! Are you crazy to leave your office like this?"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "Of course I'm afraid of danger! But compared to dying, I'd rather die a heroic death! So that people can respect me, Lu... Tian Zhiguang!"
"Hmm? What happened? Did you have a fight with your family? Did you argue with your wife?"
Jock looked at Lu Yuan with great interest.
Lu Yuan cursed inwardly.
Holy crap! You're actually going to ask?! Shouldn't they usually just pat me on the shoulder and say it's no big deal?
But this Joker was clearly no ordinary person. He sat down, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and looked at Lu Yuan.
"Brother, I'm really sorry! I don't need any more assistants right now! And I've already told you! Your acting skills are...tsk tsk! They're really not up to par!"
After saying that, the other person picked up the plate and left the seat, leaving Lu Yuan completely bewildered.
"Holy crap? What's going on? He found out I was faking it?"
Lu Yuan was a little confused, but when he saw Qiao Ke sitting in front of the tea bar, he suddenly remembered.
He slapped his forehead and realized that what he had just said was wrong.
What family looks down on you? A fool who came here to risk his life just because they look down on him wouldn't be alive now. It's the sixth year of the apocalypse. The people who survive are people with extremely strong mental fortitude. They have mastered the best survival skills and would never try to kill themselves over a trivial matter.
"Damn it! They've overdone it!"
Lu Yuan reluctantly put down his chopsticks, and could only try to think of another way to get into the exploration team.
