The other person scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Well... it got cold later, and we figured keeping these pieces of furniture would be a waste, so we burned them as firewood. If you still want that furniture, we can get you some more!"
Lu Yuan smiled slightly and waved his hand gently: "It's nothing, I was just asking casually. The furniture isn't very valuable, it's just a keepsake. By the way, those photos we had before..."
“When we moved in, we were worried that the owner of the house would come looking for us, so we didn’t destroy these photos. We stored them on the top floor. I’ll take them down for you now!”
After saying that, Shen Chuan ran upstairs excitedly.
Before long, the other party came downstairs carrying a large pile of photo frames.
When they saw that the picture frames were covered in dust but were not damaged, Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan showed a hint of excitement on their faces.
He took the picture frames and gently brushed away the dust from their surfaces with his sleeve.
Many of the picture frames had shattered glass, but the photos inside were still intact.
But after several years of devastation from the apocalypse, and the corrosive effects of dampness and moisture, the surface of the photos has begun to turn yellow, and some have even started to mold.
"Sigh, what a pity. I was in a hurry to leave, so I didn't take all these photos with me. I never thought they would still be here. Luckily, they weren't destroyed. Otherwise, losing these things would have been a huge loss for us!"
Lu Yuan wiped each photo clean and then expressed his gratitude to Shen Chuan.
Shen Chuan scratched his head slightly, when suddenly a hungry growl came from his stomach.
A hint of embarrassment immediately appeared on his face.
"Well, this is a common occurrence!"
Lu Yuan turned to look at the others.
The group of people were dressed in tattered clothes, and their faces looked like they hadn't been washed in a long time.
Moreover, many people developed severe frostbite on their faces and hands.
"Okay, to express my gratitude for not destroying our photos, I've decided to give you some food. By the way, could we keep this house?"
After all, I put a lot of effort into building it. But don't worry, we can provide you with a more comfortable and secure place to live in the fortress over there, and we'll also give you an identity!
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Shen Chuan and the others all showed a hint of surprise on their faces.
They had wanted to enter Lu Yuan's camp for a long time, but because there were so many people, they had been queuing for several days without being able to get in.
Later, when the camp announced it would no longer accept refugees, they were forced to return to the place.
But now they unexpectedly encountered Lu Yuan, a top-tier figure, which Shen Chuan felt was an incredible opportunity for them.
If we don't seize this opportunity, we don't know when we'll be able to get this precious identity token from the fortress again.
"No problem, of course no problem, Mr. Lu, thank you, thank you for helping us!"
Lu Yuan sighed and waved to the other person.
I walked around the house; almost everything inside had been burned. All that remained were piles of embers.
Seeing the lives of these people, Lu Yuan couldn't help but think of the people in other slums, and felt a pang of emotion, but he didn't show much concern.
Because those who survive in this apocalypse all have their own way of life, even if you forcibly change their fate to save them, you cannot give them a more stable life forever.
Lu Yuan sighed, then picked up his phone and dialed Zhou Tong's number.
"Lu Yuan, what's wrong? Are you guys not home?"
Upon hearing Zhou Tong's words, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Haha, we're at home now, but it's our old home!"
"What? You guys went back to your hometown? No way, what are you doing there?"
"Haha, it's nice to visit the old house, see the things we left behind, and reminisce about the past. By the way, the main reason I called you this time is to ask you for a favor!"
"Good grief, you want my help? That's a real slap in the face! Just tell me what's going on, why are you even offering to help?"
"Well, a few friends have been living in my house for a while, so I'm planning to take the house back, but I can't disrupt their lives."
So I've decided to give them some food and lodging. Why don't you send a few people over to pick them up? You can arrange the details!
"No problem, I'll send someone over right now. No, I'll go myself. I'd also like to see what your house is like!"
After chatting for a while, Lu Yuan hung up the phone.
A dozen minutes later, several military vehicles drove in the direction Lu Yuan had indicated.
When Shen Chuan saw that the vehicles in the distance were actually military vehicles from the camp, a look of excitement appeared on their faces.
"Haha, our lives are about to change! This is wonderful! We've been waiting for this day for so long!"
Lu Yuan waved in the direction of the car lights, and Zhou Tong's car stopped in front of Lu Yuan, with a group of people getting out of the car.
Next, Lu Yuan gave them a brief introduction about Shen Chuan and the others.
