Without a car, Lu Yuan had no choice but to walk.
The biggest advantage of walking is that it won't attract termites, which makes Lu Yuan feel that these termites must have good hearing, otherwise they wouldn't have been attracted by the sound of the car engine.
Next, Lu Yuan arrived at the place where Zhou Tong and the others were.
Upon arriving at the building, Lu Yuan observed the surroundings, noting that the area did not appear to be infested by termites.
The termites seemed to be trying to sweep along the perimeter of the middle section like they were cleaning the streets. Now, everyone here is on edge, and there are all kinds of cars everywhere outside the building.
They were preparing to flee the place, which was teeming with people, and the garrison troops were now organized to defend it. Trenches had been dug along the main streets and filled with large amounts of fuel.
The air was filled with a strong smell of fuel, which Lu Yuan found somewhat pungent.
As Lu Yuan was about to go over, several guards immediately stepped forward and stopped him.
"What are you doing here? This is the central area! No outsiders are allowed in!"
Lu Yuan frowned immediately: "Who said outsiders aren't allowed in? These are all mid-level managers!"
The other party had no intention of giving way, and the muzzle of their gun was already pointed at Lu Yuan.
“Just leave when we tell you to! Stop with all this nonsense! What will happen to the people in the central area if people from outside come? We don’t even have enough food! You didn’t pay enough insurance before, so we won’t provide you with any services! That’s the rule of the Long Group!”
Lu Yuan looked at the gun barrel in the other person's hand and couldn't help but feel angry.
"It's the Long Group again! Damn it!"
Hearing Lu Yuan's curses, the other party didn't say much, but simply pointed the gun at Lu Yuan and demanded that he leave now.
Looking at the building so close by, Lu Yuan could only take out his phone.
"Old Zhou, there's a curfew outside, I can't get in! It seems I'll have to let you out!"
"Okay! I understand! Take the men out now!"
So Lu Yuan stood quietly on the other side of the street, while the guards kept their eyes on him, as if they felt that Lu Yuan wanted to sneak in while they weren't paying attention.
Before long, Zhou Tong appeared on the opposite side with a group of people. Seeing Lu Yuan wearing a protective suit, he immediately walked over.
The guards saw Zhou Tong and his group cross the street, but they didn't say anything, though they all looked surprised.
"Phew! We've finally seen you! We thought we'd never see you again!"
Zhou Tong looked at Lu Yuan with a sigh and stepped forward to give him a hug.
But Lu Yuan casually waved his hand: "Don't touch me, I'm covered in sulfuric acid! If you don't want to be disfigured, you can give me a hug!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong immediately stopped and looked at the protective suit Lu Yuan was wearing.
"Taken from inside?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes! It's a good thing we had this protective suit! Otherwise, we might have been accidentally injured by the sulfuric acid rain on the way here!"
"That's good! It seems we still need the items from our own space!"
Lu Yuan looked around: "Let's find a place to have a good talk! Let's talk about what's been happening here lately! What's the situation with the middle management? I have no idea!"
So Zhou Tong waved his hand, and the group led Lu Yuan to an abandoned building outside.
The lobby of the building was in a mess, and this place was obviously set up as a front line to fight off termites, with a large number of fuel canisters scattered everywhere.
Several guards saw someone enter and were about to reprimand him, but upon seeing Zhou Tong, they immediately saluted him with respect.
"We have some connection with these people! We saved their lives a few days ago!"
Zhou Tong offered an explanation.
Then, the group went into a room.
Lu Yuan casually found a seat, then took off his protective suit and rinsed it in the restroom. Only after making sure there was no residual sulfuric acid outside did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Phew! It's really inconvenient to move around in this protective suit! By the way, how did these termites get in? Wasn't there an entrance? If we just blocked those entrances, wouldn't that solve the problem?"
Zhou Tong sighed and said, "Alas! These idiots were so frightened by the sight of termites that they completely collapsed. They couldn't organize any effective defense at all, so the termites took advantage of the situation and the middle layer was lost!"
"Hasn't the Long Group done anything about it?"
At this point, Zhou Tong couldn't help but slam his fist on the table: "We warned these people a long time ago, telling them to take precautions and not let the termites get into the middle layer, but they just wouldn't listen! They said we didn't need to worry about it, that they were free to do as they pleased, but now they're panicking! But what's the use? The termite army has already fully invaded! If they don't block the entrance now, nobody will be able to leave here alive!"
After saying that, Zhou Tong lit a cigarette and fell silent. Everyone's faces showed a hint of helplessness and indignation.
After finishing half a cigarette, Zhou Tong looked at Lu Yuan and asked, "What do we do now? Should we leave here?"
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Yes! Have you found a way to get to the higher levels?"
Zhou Tong shook his head helplessly: "Not yet, we can't find any information at all, and we don't know what the higher-ups at the Long Group are planning to do! Everyone is asking the Long Group, but they just won't give us a clear answer. It's infuriating!"
