Lu Yuan did not want this situation to happen, so he could only try to curb it at its source.
Now, in order to ensure that the infectious disease does not spread, Shen Hu specially called over the medical team to form a medical examination team to check each of the people who come in.
However, due to the large number of people involved, their work progressed very slowly.
But that's all there is to it.
The relocation of four million people took Lu Yuan a whole day to finally complete. Now, all that's left on Chen Yan's side are the team members who are currently confronting Lorraine and the others.
"Finally, it's all done! Four million people... I can't even imagine!"
A hint of relaxation finally appeared on Chen Yan's face. She hadn't had a proper rest for several days, and the thought of the place being flooded soon made her extremely nervous.
Lu Yuan was just about to have Chen Yan secretly withdraw the team members when his phone rang.
"Lu Yuan, you'd better hurry! Although we have control of the command center now, these people from the Long Group know where they got the detonating device from, and we don't have enough manpower to investigate! So, it could be detonated at any time!"
"What? Holy crap! That was fast!"
"Sigh! There's nothing we can do! We've done our best! By the way, how's the relocation going?"
"Don't even mention it! If all five million people were safe and sound, I wouldn't have any problem! But now there's been a mess; a bunch of idiots have kidnapped a million people! We're trying to figure out how to get those million people out of here!"
After listening, Zhou Tong fell silent for a moment: "Could you tell me about the situation over there? Perhaps I can help you think of a solution!"
Lu Yuan then explained the situation regarding the hostages. After listening, Zhou Tong remained silent for a while before speaking, "I have a solution!"
"Oh? You have a way?"
"Hmm! You have a dimensional space, right? With this space, you can negotiate with them! Now you just need to divert Lorraine's attention to one side, and then secretly rescue these people!"
"Huh? Explain yourself! I don't quite understand!"
Lu Yuan's mind was in turmoil. Partly it was due to the temperature here, and partly it was because he had been leading his men on the escape for a long time, and now he felt extremely weak.
So Zhou Tong explained his plan.
"You mean you want Chen Yan to stall him and negotiate with him, while I go to rescue them?"
"That's right! This is the only way now! Otherwise, once Lorraine's attention is on you, no matter what you do, they will find out!"
Lu Yuan nodded silently: "You're right!"
Lu Yuan then looked at Chen Yan, who immediately nodded: "I'll go negotiate with Lorraine! You go rescue them!"
"Okay! Be careful! We'll proceed according to the original plan!"
Chen Yan nodded: "You be careful too!"
So, after hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan immediately changed into a black outfit.
Dressed in all black, Lu Yuan glanced at the only overpass in the distance, then after a moment of contemplation, he threw his wooden crate down below.
He planned to approach from the lower floors, since the only skybridge had been occupied by them. Even if he used the rope to swing across, he might encounter gunmen, so going down from there was the safest option.
Rowing slowly towards the building where the hostages were located, Lu Yuan rushed into the building.
Fortunately, the rebels did not find his trail, which relieved Lu Yuan.
Looking at the floor, Lu Yuan felt a sudden cramp in his calves, as it was nearly a hundred floors away from the floor where the hostages were being held.
"Damn it! I have to climb stairs again! I hate climbing stairs!"
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and rushed into the emergency exit.
There were no lights in the emergency exit, so Lu Yuan could only run by turning on his headlamp.
The lights flashed overhead, moving back and forth in the narrow stairwell. After running for a while, Lu Yuan felt his eyes getting blurry.
After resting for a while and confirming his floor, Lu Yuan sighed.
"After running for so long, I've only made it down less than twenty floors! I'm fucking speechless!"
So, Lu Yuan ate another golden fruit and quickly moved closer to it.
Running non-stop with his head down, Lu Yuan felt as if his brain was lacking oxygen.
I don't know how far I've run, but suddenly I heard a burst of intense gunfire overhead.
Lu Yuan immediately stopped and leaned against the wall of the emergency exit.
"Holy crap! What's going on? Where did that gunshot come from?"
The gunfire lasted for about a few seconds before stopping.
Lu Yuan listened intently, and could almost hear cries and curses coming from afar.
Then, Lu Yuan took off his headlamp and looked at his floor: "There are only three more floors to go!"
Lu Yuan leaned against the wall and rested for a while, then ate a golden fruit to replenish his energy.
After waiting for a few minutes, Lu Yuan went up again.
I leaned against the door of the emergency exit and listened quietly to what was happening inside.
"You all better behave yourselves! If anyone tries to run away, I'll shoot ten more people dead in a minute! One escapes, ten are killed! Anyway, you guys are no use to us! You're just a waste of water!"
