Needless to say, these golden fruits looked incredibly tempting, and they must taste good too. Everyone took one and started eating.
It was fresh, sweet, and soft, and tasted great, but the pieces were too small. The fact that it melted in the mouth made some people a little unhappy.
Lu's father waved his hand and said, "Xiao Yuan, what are you doing being so stingy in front of your father-in-law! Do you have any more? Bring a few more!"
Lu Yuan's face darkened.
"That's all, we'll talk about it in a few months."
So over the next few days, Lu Yuan led everyone in training step by step, and the enthusiasm of the family members was also very high. Everyone trained with their hearts.
Finally, one day, Lu's father said he didn't want to practice anymore.
"I'm not practicing anymore! It's too tiring. I think I've practiced enough. I can already hit the bullseye from 50 meters away!"
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said, "No way! Everyone has to train together! Do you want to be a burden in the future? Do you want us all to risk our lives to save you?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu's face darkened, and he immediately stood up and roared, "You brat, how dare you scold your old man! You're asking for it!"
Just as he was about to pounce on Lu Yuan, his grandfather, holding a small leather whip for herding cattle, stood in front of the door and scolded, "You brat, how dare you hit the instructor! You're asking for a beating!"
"Dad! This kid talks to me like that! Of course I have to hit him!" After saying that, Lu's father was about to hit him again.
Grandpa shielded Lu Yuan behind him, then pointed a small leather whip at Lu's father and said, "Try touching him! Yuan, how are you punished for disobeying the instructors?"
At this moment, Lu's mother stood up straight and said with a smile, "Reporting to the instructor, anyone who disobeys the drill instructor will be punished with two hours of running! No food is allowed until the run is finished!"
Everyone burst into laughter. The two small families had become one big family, creating a joyful atmosphere and adding a touch of happiness to this apocalyptic world.
...
A month later, everyone's physical fitness had improved significantly. Lu's father and Xiaoshan's father's beer bellies had started to shrink, and Xiaoshan's mother and Lu's mother's skin had become smoother due to regular training, and their figures were also better.
The most obvious change was in Xiaoshan. She had successfully developed the abs she had always wanted, and she was overjoyed about it for a long time. Before the apocalypse, when the company organized team building activities, they would sometimes go to some scenic spots, which inevitably involved going into the water. However, because of her average figure, she could only wear one-piece swimsuits.
She was envious of her colleagues who were showing off their figures in sexy bikinis, and now that she could finally wear the swimsuit she had been longing for, how could she not be happy?
The group chat was filled with discussions about the recent violent robberies and murders. Everyone was on edge, but thankfully, the people in District 3 were mostly honest and simple, and no robberies or murders had occurred there.
However, several thefts have occurred, causing considerable losses to some families.
After a month of training, Lu Yuan's family and Xiao Shan's family have mastered various ultimate skills and how to use crossbows. Lu Yuan no longer needs to worry about them being unable to fight back when they encounter people.
However, Lu Yuan repeatedly reminded everyone beforehand that if they encountered ordinary thugs, it was best not to make a move if they could save their lives by giving up their money. Only if the other party was really ungrateful and planned to do something else after robbing them should they make a move. Once they made a move, they had to make sure it was a fatal blow and leave the other party no way out.
Anyway, the police system is already too busy to care about two deaths.
People still routinely go to the supermarket to collect their food and water every day. They have gradually adapted to this lifestyle, and in the face of the hot weather and shortage of water and food, they try to reduce their physical activity.
The people in line carried their small stools and chatted as they waited for the convoy delivering food and water to arrive.
"Have you heard? There was another riot in District Two recently! Apparently, more than ten people were killed! The police are too lazy to even care!"
"What? Another riot? You mean there were other riots before?"
"Yes! Haven't you heard? Last time, more than ten people brutally murdered a family and stole all their belongings, food, and water. Because no one took action after the police were called, this group went even further and killed more than ten people in succession."
"Wow! That's dangerous! Luckily, our District 3 is a relatively peaceful and developing area! Nobody dares to lay a hand on us!"
While picking at the bits of meat off his teeth, Song Heng said, "This is all thanks to my family's factory. If it weren't for the orders that the factory has secured to ensure everyone's livelihood, we might have a few desperados here too!"
Sun Zhe said with a disdainful look, "It's true that it's your family's factory, but wasn't it Brother Lu who spearheaded the project? Brother Lu handles all the big and small matters in the factory! What does it have to do with you!"
"How can it not be related! It's using my factory buildings and my machines! I admit that Director Lu is awesome, but I also deserve credit for this!"
"Alright, stop praising me. It's all thanks to everyone. If you didn't agree, I wouldn't have been able to organize it. The credit should also go to Chen Ke."
"That's right! Look at him, Director Lu is truly a man of great things; he can see things clearly! You little sycophant!"
So Sun Zhe and Song Heng started bickering, but it was all harmless jokes, and everyone just took it as a joke.
Lu Yuan followed the group and received the food and water from his home. Looking at the rice mixed with various kinds of sand, Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown.
"How come there's so much sand mixed in with the rice these days?! How can we eat this?!"
Song Heng said with a grin, "Director Lu, don't be so pretentious. It's good enough that we have something to eat. Besides, if we don't add sand, this rice will be used up sooner or later."
Lu Yuan glanced at Song Heng with some surprise, then at the others, but they all seemed indifferent.
Sun Zhe explained, "Song Heng is right. Nowadays, if you don't add sand to the rice, you won't have enough to eat. The country doesn't have that much grain reserve either. Everyone is eating like this now. In my family, apart from Xiao Bao who eats clean rice, my wife and I just use this to cook porridge."
With a sigh, Lu Yuan realized that he was fortunate to have a dimensional space, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to survive.
