"Old Zhou, I'm right here in front of the passage outside the fortress in the core area! Do you know the situation here?"
Zhou Tong immediately looked at Chen Zhongzheng.
Chen Zhongzheng nodded: "Tell him the truth!"
"Oh well!"
Then Zhou Tong picked up the phone and said, "We already know the situation over there! The refugees are in a very unstable state right now, and we are currently holding a meeting to discuss their resettlement!"
Lu Yuan glanced at the enraged crowd nearby, covered the phone, and said, "You'd better come up with a plan quickly, otherwise they might storm the fortress gates right away!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's voice, the meeting room became noisy once again.
Chen Zhongzheng frowned slightly, then slapped the table.
"Quiet down, all of you!"
The next second, everyone shut their mouths.
Zhou Quan sighed and said, "We know how serious the situation is, but there are just too many refugees outside! We don't have a good idea for settling them right now. By the way, Commander Chen asked me to ask if you have any good ideas?"
Lu Yuan fell silent for a moment upon hearing Zhou Tong's voice.
"I think it's best to settle some people first and ease their emotions, otherwise your subsequent work will definitely be difficult to continue!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Zhou Tong quickly relayed them to Chen Zhongzheng.
Chen Zhongzheng pondered for a moment and thought Lu Yuan's suggestion was good.
So he quickly went over and took the phone.
"Lu Yuan, this is Chen Zhongzheng! You said to let them in first! Then... are we going to bring all of them in?"
"Uncle Chen! Of course, that's not what I meant! The fortress was originally designed to hold only 400,000 people! The maximum population couldn't exceed 600,000! If we let all these people in, it could cause a lot of trouble! You should reassure them first, and then figure out a solution! By the way! How's the situation with Luo Xuan? If all else fails, you can contact Luo Xuan and see if they can help you take in some of them!"
Chen Zhongzheng's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
"Great! I completely forgot we have an ally! Haha! I'll contact Luo Xuan right now! After all, they took some of our land before! They should be willing to take our people in! But we don't know much about their situation yet! We need to ask them first!"
"Okay! You guys get to it now! Otherwise, things will get chaotic here!"
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, a chorus of shouts came from afar.
"Open the door! If you don't open the door, we're going to just barge in!"
"That's right! Open the door! We don't want to die! We want to live!"
"The fortress belongs to all of us! You can't be so selfish! You have to give us an explanation!"
Immediately, the crowd began to push and shove. Lu Yuan felt someone pushing him from behind, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Turning his head, he saw a middle-aged man with an angry expression on his face shoving him repeatedly.
Lu Yuan originally intended to teach this person a lesson, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. His identity was quite special, and it would not be a wise choice to draw attention to himself at this time.
So he chose to endure it, and then pulled Xiaoshan aside.
"Let's go! Let's walk to the back first!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan led Xiao Shan to the back of the crowd.
At this moment, the entire underground passage was already full of people.
Upon hearing the shouts, everyone instinctively pushed forward.
After finally finding a safe place, several people suddenly stared at him and Xiaoshan with hostile expressions.
Several people nodded in agreement, then took out a dagger from their waists and walked towards Lu Yuan.
Neither Lu Yuan nor Xiao Shan noticed the hint of danger.
Suddenly, those men launched an attack, pressing their daggers against Lu Yuan's waist.
The other person whispered to Lu Yuan, "Give me your phone! And your car keys! I saw your car!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan immediately pulled Xiao Shan over nervously.
Then, Lu Yuan took off his hat and turned to look at the other person.
The moment the man saw Lu Yuan, he felt his legs go weak.
"Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu, it's you!"
Lu Yuan grabbed the other man's collar and took the dagger from his hand.
The people nearby were also stunned. They hadn't expected that the fat sheep they had finally found was actually a lion even more ferocious than themselves.
Now that they'd been put on the hot plate, their faces turned ashen.
The man Lu Yuan had lifted up looked regretful and begged for mercy, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Mr. Lu! I was blind and didn't recognize you! Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to lay a hand on you even if you had a hundred lives!"
Lu Yuan didn't want to say anything to the other party, but their act of taking advantage of the chaos to rob him filled him with resentment.
"That hand that just touched me, I'll cut myself!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan handed the dagger to the other party.
The man swallowed hard, his face contorted with the urge to cry.
He never expected that Lu Yuan's mere glance would scare him so much he wet himself. He would never have done that if he had known.
He immediately knelt on the ground and begged, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I was really wrong! I won't do it again! Please forgive me this once!"
