Chen Han stood quietly to the side, staring intently at the back of Lu Yuan's head, still unable to understand why Lu Yuan had suddenly risen to such a position.
Long Yue uttered two words, and the scene fell silent. Long Yue opened her mouth to continue speaking, but found that her throat was blocked and she could not say anything at all. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was obviously unable to accept this fact.
After a long while, her eyes suddenly reddened, and she spoke softly into the megaphone.
"I hereby announce... the Long Group... is hereby dissolved. From this moment forward, the leadership of the middle management will be officially taken over by Yuanfang Company, where Lu Yuan works!"
The surrounding area erupted in uproar. Although everyone had roughly guessed what was going on, it was only after Long Yue said it that they were truly certain that the Long Group would be completely wiped out in the Central District from then on.
Upon hearing Long Yue's words, the members of the transport team cheered loudly, while the Long Group members, who stood there dumbfounded, had not yet recovered from their shock.
Then, as the members of the transport team cheered loudly one by one, they knew it was time to show their loyalty; if they did, they would get to eat.
So a few people started cheering, and then more and more people, like a wave, began to cheer along with them.
The crowd was very noisy, but Lu Yuan could see that although these people were reluctant, they eventually accepted the news.
After letting out a long sigh of relief, Lu Yuan took the loudspeaker.
"Alright, from now on I will take over your lives. As long as you behave well and obey my orders, everyone will be able to live."
And all those things you did before, I will remember them forever. Don't think I'm a magnanimous person; I just don't want to hold these things against you now. As for the crimes you committed among the middle management, this is now your atonement!
Then Lu Yuan instructed the transport team to divide the crowd into several groups, and then to count the people and distribute the food. As people ate the food, their feelings toward Lu Yuan began to change.
They clearly never expected that the person they used to hate so much would save their lives. Now most of them realized that the Long Group was simply incapable of leading them, and that Lu Yuan was the one who could truly lead them out of their predicament.
After the food distribution was finished and everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Lu Yuan led Chen Han and the others to the drilling site. There were no workers there now, and the tall drilling platform still stood behind the building.
Chen Han walked up and briefly introduced their current work progress, then pointed to the broken drill bits scattered on the ground.
"The upper floors have been reinforced with steel bars, which we can't drill through right now. So we were planning to use termites to drill through the concrete, but the project was halted due to the food crisis. So you can decide what to do next!"
Since the Long Group handed over power, he no longer had any intention of opposing Lu Yuan. He just wanted to be a quiet, ordinary person and live a good life. He didn't want to think too much about the future.
After a hearty meal, his mind seemed to calm down a lot, and Long Yue was in a similar state. Long Yue had not originally planned to come with the drilling team, but she wanted to see how Lu Yuan would lead his men.
After walking around the entire construction site a few times, Lu Yuan and his team quietly observed the area above the drilling platform.
"Above are layers of rock and concrete. Approximately how thick are those layers?"
Standing to the side, Chen Han took out his notebook, glanced at it, and said, "There are still about 500 meters of concrete between the two sides!"
"Five hundred meters, huh? Well, that seems a bit too deep. We've only drilled less than a hundred meters so far, and there's still a long way to go before the drill bit is ready!"
Then, Lu Yuan ignored Chen Han and turned to Song Qiang.
"Director Song, I'm leaving things here to you. You can use termites to assist with drilling. Be extremely careful, though. These termites are very aggressive, and if you don't handle them properly, there could be problems!"
Song Qiang nodded gently. Although he was reluctant to see Lu Yuan leave, he had to take on the responsibility since the other party had already said so.
Previously, Lu Yuan used these termites to escape from the industrial area to the urban area.
Therefore, we have gained some understanding of the formic acid produced by these termites, their aggressiveness, and the damage they cause to rock layers and reinforced concrete layers.
Therefore, Chen Han and his team's previous plan was correct and did not require any changes. However, Lu Yuan has now handed over command here to Song Qiang.
After walking around the construction site a few times, Lu Yuan left the Central Hospital and returned to the Broadcasting Building.
The civilians in the area near the broadcasting building are being relocated in an orderly manner. Lu Yuan plans to move them all to the vicinity of the central hospital, since it is relatively safer there.
Moreover, it can also serve as a deterrent to the Long Group. Currently, Lu Yuan's transport team consists of only a few thousand people, which is clearly insufficient to control the more than 100,000 people in the Long Group. Therefore, Lu Yuan wants to send all these people over before the Long Group reacts.
