Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhao Honghai fell silent.
He then turned to the various exploration teams and said, "Now that we're all here, let's get the job done! Each team, go and familiarize yourselves with your assigned roles!"
After he finished speaking, Zhao Honghai led several members of the expert team to the site to check the situation.
Lu Yuan didn't know what to do next, so he could only look at Qiao Ke beside him.
Where are we going?
"What else can we do? Of course, we'll go geological exploration! Now we'll just wait here! I'll go ask the leader!"
Lu Yuan stood still, watching Luke immediately, then stared blankly at the leaking water in the distance.
The water output here is even greater than that of the previous industrial zone. After all, the industrial zone is relatively small, and the steel frame above is mainly supported by short steel columns.
However, the situation is different in urban areas. Here, the steel frames are tens of meters long in some places and even reach hundreds of meters in others. These steel frames support the top of the entire fortress, forming a shape similar to an eggshell.
However, now that the eggshell has cracked, the safety of the arched device is not as high as before, and Lu Yuan can even imagine that this place will collapse sooner or later.
Looking down at the urban area below the steel frame, Lu Yuan saw ripples of water appearing intermittently amidst the towering buildings. He knew this was the floodwaters below. Judging from the depth and the shimmering spots, Lu Yuan secretly guessed that the water was probably at least half a meter deep.
Lu Yuan found it hard to believe that so much water had been stored up in such a huge commercial area, but looking at the dozens of places that were constantly leaking and countless other leaks in the distance, Lu Yuan knew that the water on top of it was enough to fill the entire underground fortress.
Not long after, Jock returned.
"Tian Zhiguang, let's go! Time to get to work!"
"Oh! Where are we going?"
Lu Yuan slung his backpack over his shoulder onto the mountain and then chased after them, asking, "Are we going to the top of the steel frame area?"
"Yes! Above the steel frame area is the rock layer. We are mainly responsible for geological research and reconnaissance. However, it is extremely dangerous there. You must be extremely careful because there are no protective measures below. Even if you are tied with steel cables, you don't know which steel frame might break."
"Okay! I'll be careful!"
Lu Yuan nodded and followed behind the other person.
Upon arriving at a gathering point in the distance, dozens of people dressed in the same clothing as him were already waiting there.
One of the men was holding a roster and calling out names.
"Zhou Tong!"
"arrive!"
"Chen Meng!"
"arrive!"
"Jock!"
"arrive!"
"Tian Zhiguang!"
"Tian Zhiguang!"
"Okay! Here!"
Lu Yuan hadn't gotten used to his new name yet, so he didn't react when he heard it. Qiao Ke, who was next to him, looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Don't you dare hold me back!"
"Okay! Got it!"
Lu Yuan nodded obediently, but his eyes were scanning the surrounding area.
They were currently in the central part of a steel frame area, above which lay layers of rock. These layers of rock were mainly grayish-white in color, and the thick layers of rock looked like layers of scrolls, appearing very heavy.
Then the exploration team leader began to assign tasks. After receiving his task, Jock waved to Lu Yuan.
What area are we responsible for?
Jock took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag, opened it, handed one to Lu Yuan, and said, "The middle section!"
Hearing this news, Lu Yuan was a little depressed, because the central location was not far from them, and this place had no way to access the high-rise area. The place Lu Yuan wanted to go to was the upper part, which was the place with the best access to the high-rise area.
Fortunately, he wasn't assigned to a lower position. If he had, Lu Yuan might have missed his chance and would never have been able to find a way to enter the upper level.
So, Lu Yuan, carrying his bag, followed Qiao Ke toward the designated location.
There were three teams traveling together, each with two people: an exploration expert and an assistant, for a total of six people.
The other two experts are Zhou Zhi and Meng Qiang, both of whom are also experts in geology.
Along the way, the three experts walked together to discuss the exploration, while the remaining three assistants walked together.
A young man named Chu Yinghao standing next to Lu Yuan looked at him and asked, "Brother, you're so old! Why are you still here?"
Another young man named Chen Fan, of medium height and somewhat balding, also looked at Lu Yuan: "Brother, I heard you're from the office. Why did you decide to come to the front line? It's very dangerous here!"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I prefer adventure!"
Chu Yinghao shook his head and sighed, "Every day after the apocalypse is an adventure. Haven't you had enough of this kind of life? You're like a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of a starving man! If I were you, I would stay obediently in the office! I heard there are a lot of girls in the office!"
Chen Fan also cast an envious glance: "Yeah! If I were you, I might go to the office and flirt with those girls, maybe even hook up with a rich and beautiful woman!"
"What a joke! How could a rich and beautiful woman like her come to a place like this!"
