Then, Lu Yuan stepped forward and hugged Hei Zi and Chen Zhongzheng.
"Uncle Chen, Hei Zi, what brings you both here?"
Hei Zi looked at Lu Yuan with a regretful expression.
"To save you, the company is now gone!"
"What? The company's gone?"
Lu Yuan stared at the other man in shock: "Uncle Chen, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Chen Zhongzheng nodded helplessly: "That's right! Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to get in at all! Yuanfang Company is completely gone now! It now belongs to Longyue!"
Then, Chen Zhongzheng recounted the whole story, and Lu Yuan felt somewhat regretful after listening to it.
"Sigh! The company I've run for so long is gone just like that!"
However, Hei Zi didn't feel nostalgic at all: "It's just an empty shell company anyway! There's no point in feeling bad about handing it over to them! What I'm thinking about now is! When are we going to leave here!"
Lu Yuan sighed, "I still haven't found the place to the upper floors! All this time has been a waste!"
Chen Zhongzheng glanced at the time: "We don't have much time left! The Long Group is already planning to make its move ahead of schedule!"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Lu Yuan looked at Chen Zhongzheng with some surprise.
"Today seems to be only the sixth day! According to the schedule, the demolition should be carried out tomorrow!"
Chen Zhongzheng shook his head: "They plan to wipe us out in one fell swoop! We have less than five hours left! So! We must leave here as soon as possible, and millions of people in the city are waiting for our rescue!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine: "Uncle Chen, you...you can't be serious, can you? There really are only five hours left?"
Chen Zhongzheng checked the time: "To be precise, there are only four hours and seven minutes left! Just four hours!"
Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard this.
"Damn it! Wasn't the exit over there blown open? Shouldn't they repair this place first before they blow up this area?"
Chen Zhongzheng sighed: "Then where do you think we came from?"
"Could it be...could it be that you came from that rift?"
“That’s right! We came from that place! In the deal, we handed over the entire company to the Long Group. They gave us five hours. Once the five hours are up, they will immediately detonate this place! So, we don’t have much time left! We need to find a way to get out of here now!”
After hearing this, Lu Yuan felt a sense of panic.
Chu Jialin and the others were also visibly shocked.
"Are we...are we all going to die here?"
An uproar immediately broke out in the crowd, and many people began to cry.
The crying infected many people nearby, and soon the quiet sobbing turned into loud wailing.
Hei Zi looked around at the people crying and couldn't help but sigh, then looked at Lu Yuan.
"Should we let them in first?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Large-scale operations are no longer suitable for us! We need to streamline our personnel as soon as possible! Otherwise, these people will drag us down!"
Then, Lu Yuan walked up to Chu Jialin and the others, who were still in a daze.
"Old Chu, after spending this time together, I've decided to give you a chance to live!"
Chu Jialin was stunned for a moment when he heard Lu Yuan's words: "Uh... what do you mean?"
"I'm going to take you to a safe place!"
Chu Jialin was about to ask something else when Hei Zi came over and gently patted him on the shoulder: "Go and tell people to get ready! You'll know when we get there!"
After staring blankly at Lu Yuan for a while, Chu Jialin finally went to organize people to come over.
Everyone crowded around, and Lu Yuan's gaze swept over them before he nodded to Chu Jialin.
"I'll find a way to bring your families back later! Oh, and once you're inside, have Zhou Keke and the others write down their family members' addresses for me!"
"What? You mean... Zhou Keke and the others are still alive?"
"Haha! Of course you're alive! I told you! I'm going to take you all away from here!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan ignored the other party's shock, and then snapped his fingers, and the more than a thousand people in front of him disappeared from sight.
Hei Zi held a map spread out on the ground.
"We're currently in this location! We need to find a place where it's easier to break through and get out!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes! Our only chance now is to leave here as soon as possible!"
Hei Zi looked at Lu Yuan and said, "My wife is still in the city center! So, we don't have much time left! You know what to do, right?"
"Huh? Chen Yan isn't here?"
Chen Zhongzheng sighed and nodded: "Yes! I sent Yanzi to the urban area to appease the people there!"
"Sigh! Well then! It seems our time has been compressed once again!"
"Yes! We only have about two hours left! We need to get everyone out of there in the remaining two hours, and then we have to get back to the middle level! Otherwise, if it collapses, we might all be wiped out!"
Lu Yuan felt extremely heavy-hearted. Time was ticking away, meaning they could no longer afford to delay.
Just then, a sound came from the ant nest that had just been sealed off in the distance.
Then several stones rolled down.
