Are you coming or not?
Lu Yuan nodded quickly: "Of course! Of course! Being an assistant is much more interesting than sitting in an office!"
"Okay! I'm glad you like it! Oh, by the way! Come find me here in three hours! I'll arrange something for you then! Now give me your ID card! I'll go and change some job information for you!"
Lu Yuan quickly handed over his work badge to the other party. Qiao Ke looked at Lu Yuan with satisfaction and said, "Brother, once it's changed, you'll never have a chance to regret it!"
"I know! I won't regret it!"
So Joker waved and left with Lu Yuan's identity token.
In the afternoon, Lu Yuan arrived at Qiao Ke's personal studio at the agreed time and place.
Jock was an unemployed geologist. All his belongings were kept in a dilapidated house. The house was a mess, and there was a strong smell of urine inside.
Jock shrugged: "Never mind him! That's how all men are!"
Lu Yuan chuckled: "You have quite a few drink bottles under your bed!"
Jock blushed and kicked the bottles filled with urine further into the container.
However, the other party then led Lu Yuan to the next room. Qiao Ke's residence consisted of only two rooms: one was for his living and eating quarters, and the other was his studio. The studio was filled with various mineral specimens, blueprints, and books, as well as sophisticated exploration instruments on the walls, desk, and in some cabinets.
Seeing his treasures, Jock proudly introduced them to Lu Yuan: "These are all my treasures! Each one is a tool I rely on to survive! I've only survived this long because of these tools!"
Lu Yuan was slightly moved. When he came out of the next room, it left a deep impression on him. Dirty, messy, and smelly were the best descriptions of that room. But after entering the next room, Lu Yuan found that Qiao Ke was like a patient with a dual personality. The room was tidy and there was hardly any dust on the floor.
"Okay! Take a look at what you need to bring! I'll carry it for you!"
After pacing around the room for a while with his arms crossed and his left hand supporting his chin, Jock immediately began selecting equipment.
"You have to bring this, this, and this too!"
Then, after preparing everything, Jock looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Brother, pack your things! We can leave with our things!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Alright! Let's move the things then!"
"Be careful! Be extremely careful! The equipment in here is very expensive! Many of them are even one-of-a-kind! I managed to save them with great difficulty! Please don't break them!"
Lu Yuan laughed: "I know! Stop talking nonsense!"
So the two began packing their things, and after a short while, the sound of a bicycle bell came from outside.
"Your work badge has arrived!"
Jock put down what he was holding and went outside.
Sure enough, Jock came over with a new work permit and handed it to Lu Yuan.
"Here's your new work ID! Keep it safe and don't lose it! It's the only way to identify you! But I still want to ask you! Why do you want to join our exploration team? You know, the work here is really risky!"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I like this kind of work, and I like adventure!"
"Alright! I'll believe you for now!"
After the two finished packing everything, Lu Yuan carried a heavy package on his back and another in his hand, as did Qiao Ke, who carried a package on his back and another in his hand.
The two sat in the room chatting casually. Finally, when the time came, Jock immediately stood up.
"Let's go!"
So the two of them put on their gear and headed out to the plaza.
When they arrived at the square, it was already packed with people. Lu Yuan didn't know how many there were, but based on the size of the area, he roughly estimated that there were more than 20,000 people.
Is this all of us?
Jock nodded: "Yes! There are about 20,000 people in total! 20,000 people to do the security work for a city of millions! It's fucking ridiculous!"
So the group walked toward a truck.
Those who have leadership cards receive different treatment; instead of riding in trucks, they are transported by special white buses.
After Lu Yuan got into a truck with Qiao Ke, they headed straight for the steel frame area.
The car drove downhill; Lu Yuan had never been here before.
Because the bottom of the middle layer is the urban area, separated by a thick steel frame layer, but the urban area is much larger than the middle layer, the seepage is not occurring in the middle layer, so they have not yet reacted.
The bus drove on into the distance, as if it were traveling on a vast, boundless bridge.
After driving for about ten minutes, the car finally came to a stop.
Before they even got off the bus, the people inside were already pressing their faces against the windows, peering out.
"Holy crap! This...this is like the sky has fallen! Such a huge flood! Are you kidding me?! How could we possibly stop it?!"
"That's right! They only gave us a little over 20,000 people! The area here that's leaking is at least the size of a dozen football fields. How could we possibly handle it all!"
