Lu Yuan nodded: "I understand! It seems the sheer number of termites is far beyond our expectations!"
"Sigh! Is there any good way to get rid of these termites all at once?"
Lu Yuan was also a bit overwhelmed. He casually drew some lines on the map and saw that tens of thousands of square kilometers of land were completely hollow. Lu Yuan realized that he had been too simplistic in his thinking.
The original plan was to find the termite nest, pour fuel into it, and burn it down, thus eliminating all the termites.
But now it seems that these termites are not so easy to deal with!
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan looked up at Zhao Honghai: "What did the geological experts say? If these termites aren't dealt with, how much longer can the underground fortress last?"
Zhao Honghai took out his notebook, looked through it, and said, "If these termites aren't dealt with, and if they don't corrode the rock layer, the rock layer can hold out for several more years!"
"What if they corrode?"
Zhao Honghai sighed: "It's hard to say. The entire urban area might collapse tomorrow, or it might not collapse for several years or even forever! After all, these termites are just like us; they are also looking for an opportunity."
Lu Yuan was somewhat worried. He wanted to leave the fortress, but the current situation was that if he didn't get rid of the termites, he couldn't carry out his next plan.
After all, these termites are not to be trifled with. If they are disturbed, they can go berserk and destroy everything.
The more Lu Yuan thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. It was clearly that silly woman Long Yue who did the stupid thing, and he still had to clean up her mess. It was a complete waste of his time.
"Sigh! Alright! Looks like we still have to continue!"
Do you have any ideas?
Zhao Honghai was at a loss for what to do, so he could only pin his hopes on Lu Yuan, hoping that the other party could give him a good idea.
"Me? I have no idea right now. Who knows how many termites there are!"
Then Lu Yuan looked at the other person and said, "I think you should let the people in the Long Group know about this! It would be best to inform Long Yue as well, so she doesn't think you're having such an easy time!"
"Yes! I will! I will definitely let her know about this!"
After chatting for a while, Zhao Honghai decided to consult with other people to see if there was any way to resolve the issue.
They now have a considerable number of live termite samples, which have been sent to the laboratory for research. The immediate priority is to develop a drug that can quickly kill these termites.
Otherwise, the entire fortress would be plunged into disaster.
After returning to his residence, Lu Yuan dialed Chen Zhongzheng's number.
"Old Chen, how's things going?"
Upon hearing that it was Lu Yuan calling, the other party quickly asked in a low voice, "Lu Yuan, how are you doing? I heard that quite a few experts have died over there! Are you alright?"
"I'm fine! I'm perfectly alright! But it was a bit dangerous!"
"Phew! I'm so glad you're okay! Please be careful!"
"Yes, I know!"
Then, Chen Zhongzheng said, "Chen Yan has already started to set up a media center and is secretly publicizing the crimes committed by Long Yue. We have already received some voices in the city against Long Yue's rule!"
"Hmm! Not bad! By the way, how's the population organization going?"
"Sigh! We still have a bit too few people, and the Long Group has eyes and ears everywhere in the city, so we can't operate too aggressively, which is why we're moving a bit slowly!"
"Alright, but don't worry, because the work here won't be finished anytime soon! The termite situation is beyond our expectations! By the way! What's the population of the urban area now?"
"As of the roster submitted this afternoon, approximately 300,000 people have agreed to leave with us!"
"More than 300,000 people...that's a pretty good pace!"
"Alas! But there are more than five million people in the metropolitan area! More than three hundred thousand people are just a tiny fraction!"
Then Chen Zhongzheng continued, "Moreover, these 300,000-plus people are basically disaster victims from slums! They are now begging us to take them away!"
Lu Yuan was immediately displeased upon hearing this.
"What the heck! What about the others? They weren't even affected by the disaster, so they're not planning to come with us? Was our publicity efforts inadequate?"
"That's only one reason. Another reason is that they're still hoping Long Yue can save them!"
"Heh! Waiting for Long Yue? They're really dreaming! Fine! Since they're willing to wait for Long Yue's aid, let them wait! Once I finish my work here, I won't accept any more refugees!"
"Yes! That's exactly what I meant! We've gone to great lengths and used all our resources to help them, and these people not only aren't grateful, they're always making sarcastic remarks! It's infuriating!"
"I told you so! These people really don't need to be helped! But you wouldn't listen! Oh well! What's done is done! Let's just leave it at that!"
After sighing for a while, Chen Zhongzheng continued, "Oh, right, there's one more thing!"
"Hmm? Is there something else? Go ahead and say it, Uncle Chen!"
"Regarding Chen Han! Our people who were keeping an eye on him recently discovered that he seems to have vanished into thin air! We don't know where he is! Do you think we should investigate this further?"
