The entire middle management is now in complete chaos.
Everywhere you look, there are people fleeing from swarms of termites, and collapsed buildings.
Abandoned vehicles are scattered everywhere on the roads, making it impossible to drive on them now.
Termite infestation caused numerous buildings to collapse, rendering almost all roads impassable.
Unlike the others, Lu Yuan was heading straight for the densest area of the termite colony.
Along the way, everyone who saw Lu Yuan heading in that direction couldn't help but glance at him, but no one ever reminded him of anything.
Lu Yuan was also happy that no one would bother him.
The further he went, the more difficult the road became. There were embers of flames and collapsed buildings everywhere. Every now and then, Lu Yuan could hear cries for help coming from the nearby buildings.
Lu Yuan casually brushed away the termites on his body. These termites posed no threat to him whatsoever. Apart from obstructing his vision by clinging to his body, their formic acid did not cause any damage to Lu Yuan's protective suit.
Along the way, in order to take shortcuts, Lu Yuan could only rush into the places where termites were most concentrated.
The overwhelming swarm of termites fell on Lu Yuan like snowflakes.
Lu Yuan could even hear the squeaking sound of the termites gnawing on his protective suit.
Annoyed by the termites, Lu Yuan wondered if there was something that the termites were afraid of.
However, it was just a thought he had.
After walking several hundred meters, Lu Yuan climbed over a collapsed building. The entire building had been eaten away by termites, making it look like a piece of foam. When he stepped on it, Lu Yuan felt as if he were stepping on a ball of rice cake.
It was extremely crispy, which made Lu Yuan quite shocked by the destructive power of these termites.
At that moment, a shout came from underground.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but stop and look down at the source of the sound.
He saw several people shouting at Lu Yuan from a crack in the ground.
The termites in this area have basically all left. These termites have very clear targets; after destroying these buildings, they immediately move on to the next location.
Therefore, the further Lu Yuan went towards the termite nest, the fewer termites he felt there were.
Then, the shout came again.
Lu Yuan then realized that the other person seemed to be calling him.
Lu Yuan had originally planned to leave, but one sentence from the other party suddenly caused a sharp pain in his heart.
The other person shouted, "Brother, my wife is about to give birth! Please save her! She's struggling to breathe down there! I'll do anything you ask if you can save her!"
Lu Yuan finally sighed, turned around and walked away.
The collapsed building has become a ruin, and the other party's residence appears to be located on the lowest level.
This place is on the basement level, which is underground, so when the building collapsed, a small triangular space was left at the corner where they were.
Upon seeing Lu Yuan approach, the other party desperately poked an arm out from the gap.
"Brother, please help me! Can you move those rocks off me?"
Lu Yuan looked at the other person's outstretched hand, which was already a bloody mess, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Put your hand back! I'll get it out for you!"
"Thanks, bro! You're a good guy!"
Lu Yuan gave a wry smile: "I saved you, and you're giving me the 'friend card'?"
"I...I didn't mean that! I'm telling the truth!"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It seems that 'you're a good person' has finally come back to its original meaning!"
It took the other person a lot of effort to finally pull their arm back.
Lu Yuan reached out and moved the broken stones on top.
Then the other person desperately sprang out an arm, and then half of their body began to slowly climb up.
When the other person's entire body was exposed, Lu Yuan saw a trace of longing for life in his eyes.
It seems that it was this desire that enabled the other party to persevere.
Although the other person was covered in injuries and had a broken arm, it didn't stop them from smiling.
Seeing the other person grin and smile at him, then say thank you, Lu Yuan simply nodded: "It's nothing! Where's your wife? Didn't you say she was about to give birth? This place is completely ruined! Where are you planning to go next?"
The man chuckled, then pointed to the spot where he had just crawled out and said, "My wife's down there! We still have some things to take with us! As for where we'll live, well! We'll just have to live one day at a time! Better to live a miserable life than die. Besides, I'm about to become a father! I don't want to die so soon!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, inwardly expressing his admiration for the other person's positive and optimistic attitude.
"Brother, you're awesome! You're better than everyone else in the middle management!"
The other person scratched his head: "No way, I'm just a zookeeper, there's nothing amazing about me!"
Lu Yuan didn't say anything more, but pointed down and said, "I'll help you move the stones down there! Your wife should be able to get up!"
"Yes! But my arm is broken! Um... could you help me get my wife up here?"
