After the young man left with his men, Lu Yuan also secretly left the company.
He then checked the time and realized that it was practically impossible to buy more food.
So he went directly to Chen Zhongzheng's department and continued to wait.
After finishing all her work, Wang Mingming prepared to tidy up Chen Zhongzheng's office.
When I came in, I saw Lu Yuan sitting on a chair to the side, looking at the newspaper in his hand.
"Brother Lu! Are you still waiting for Uncle Chen? He might not be coming back today! Why don't you come back with me!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Alright! I'll go with you then!"
Then, Lu Yuan stood up and put down the newspaper in his hand.
After closing the door, Lu Yuan followed Wang Mingming to his residence.
Wang Mingming lived on the 23rd floor of this building. The apartment wasn't very big, but it was very clean.
There were no starving people wandering around in the corridors, after all, this was the residence of the core management personnel of the entire fortress.
This is practically the very heart of the entire fortress.
Therefore, the security and other measures are also the best they can be.
Holding the room key, Wang Mingming opened the door and went into the room to welcome Lu Yuan inside.
"Brother Lu, please have a seat. I'll go get you some water!"
Lu Yuan nodded, watching as the other person opened the refrigerator door embedded in the wall, took out a small box of tea leaves, and then poured water to make Lu Yuan a cup of tea.
Lu Yuan slowly sipped his tea while Wang Mingming reported to him on recent events.
"Brother Lu, we've run into some trouble with food here lately. Most of the high-quality land has been destroyed! So the food we're using now is the reserve we stockpiled in the dimensional space! The reserve is being used up quite quickly! It might only last us a few more months!"
Lu Yuan nodded, then suddenly asked.
Do you know about the black market?
After listening, Wang Mingming sighed and said, "I know, how could I not know! But there's nothing we can do! After all, we don't have enough food! We have to use the food rationally! So we turn a blind eye to the black market, as long as they don't go too far!"
Lu Yuan put down his teacup and said, "So, do you all know what they've been doing?"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Wang Mingming immediately realized what Lu Yuan really wanted to know.
However, he couldn't guess what Lu Yuan wanted to ask.
So he shook his head and said, "I don't know, Brother Lu, you might as well just say it!"
"Boiled meat!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Mingming's face immediately showed a look of shock.
"Water-soaked meat? Water-soaked meat is appearing in the market now?"
"That's right! These are the photos I took today after sneaking in! Take a look!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan took out a miniature camera from his pocket and handed it to the other person.
Wang Mingming quickly took the camera and turned it on. Inside, he saw not only photos of retrieving poultry and livestock carcasses from the water, but also the entire industrial chain of cutting, processing, and packaging.
Upon seeing this, Wang Mingming's face immediately showed a serious expression.
"Damn it! They're even involved in this kind of business! Looks like it's time for us to make our move!"
After listening, Lu Yuan waved his hand slightly and said, "This matter is a bit tricky! Because it may involve people within our own ranks!"
Wang Mingming's eyes widened in shock.
"Brother Lu, you mean... one of our own people was involved in this?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "That's right! There might be someone involved. You should investigate first, do it privately. This matter shouldn't be publicized. But this is just my guess!"
A flash of anger crossed Wang Mingming's face: "Damn it, how could anyone transfer this kind of money? It's outrageous! I will definitely rescue this person!"
Lu Yuan sighed, "I'm not afraid of it being just one person, I'm afraid of it being a group of people!"
Then, Lu Yuan picked up his teacup again and stopped talking.
Nothing was said that night. The next morning, Lu Yuan went directly to Chen Zhongzheng's office.
Chen Zhongzheng's hair was now almost completely white.
The superstorm kept him extremely busy, and he had to be involved in almost everything, big and small, inside the fortress.
Therefore, he hasn't had a very good time during this period.
When Chen Zhongzheng saw Lu Yuan enter, he immediately stood up in shock.
"Haha! That's great! That's great! It's wonderful to see you alive!"
Chen Zhongzheng immediately stood up from his seat and gave Lu Yuan a big hug.
"Is everything alright at home?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Everything is fine!"
"That's good! Don't leave at noon! Let's have lunch together here!"
Lu Yuan waved his hand: "No! Actually, I arrived yesterday! I heard you went to another fortress, so I waited for you here!"
Chen Zhongzheng sighed and said, "Alas! It's still about rebuilding the fortresses. We've already discussed it at several fortresses! We'll see if we build an ark then. By the way, you should know about the ark, right?"
"Yes! We already know! That's a good thing. What are the other fortresses saying?"
"Sigh! We've basically lost control of the other fortresses! It seems like Guo Jialiang is the only one who still has the means!"
"Oh? He's still alive?"
Lu Yuan was somewhat curious, after all, he had personally witnessed Guo Jialiang and his group's fortress being destroyed by the superstorm.
Unexpectedly, Guo Jialiang is so lucky that he didn't die.
"Yeah! They're so much more powerful now! They've already built their own big ships. I mainly went there this time to see if I could get some information from them, but who knew this guy would try to raise the price on the spot! It's outrageous!"
After saying that, Chen Zhongzheng reluctantly lit a cigarette.
"By the way, how many survivors are left inside this fortress?"
After exhaling a puff of smoke, Chen Zhongzheng said, "According to statistics, we now have less than three million people left! Among them, the number of deaths in Guo Jialiang's camp exceeded two million! Now, the number of survivors there is less than one million!"
Upon hearing these words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Alright! It seems the task ahead is even more challenging! Oh, by the way, Uncle Chen, there's something I need to tell you! But Wang Mingming will also report to you later!"
After speaking, Lu Yuan recounted everything he had seen.
"You really need to take this seriously. If there's a large-scale death toll, it'll probably be the start of a flu outbreak! You all need to be careful!"
