The young man retorted, "Why shouldn't it be our turn? It's because you leaders said you wouldn't help! If Brother Lu hadn't driven Huang Feng's men away, we would all have gotten stabbed!"
"Heh! You little brat, do you know what it means to strike back after the enemy has made a move? Do you know what it means to remain still and wait for the enemy to move? We have our reasons for doing this! Besides, didn't everyone agree not to help? You must have been involved in that too! Don't try to act all high and mighty here! You're not worthy!" The middle-aged man looked at the young man with a mocking expression.
The young men blushed instantly. They had indeed chickened out at the time, worried that Huang Feng's men were too many and would eat them up. But now that the problem was solved, they felt that their behavior was somewhat shameful. However, they felt that they hadn't said anything at the time and shouldn't be held responsible for the incident.
Seeing that the young men were speechless, the middle-aged man looked at everyone with a smug expression, the scars on his face glowing red, seemingly in a very good mood.
Then the other person looked around at everyone and, seeing that no one dared to provoke him any further, coughed lightly twice and said...
"People may have lost their temper with Lu Yuan's management, which is why they had those thoughts. But don't forget, it was Lu Yuan himself who said he wanted to resign from his position as administrator. Everyone should know that, right?"
The group exchanged glances and nodded silently.
"So, Lu Yuan isn't some kind of savior. Don't think too highly of him. As the saying goes, everyone looks out for themselves. He's just thinking about his family. So, don't be naive! Since they don't want to manage anymore, we'll build our own management team! I believe that as long as we all do well, our lives will definitely be better than theirs!"
These words immediately warmed everyone's hearts. Although there were some flaws in these words, everyone was quite convinced, especially in this post-apocalyptic world. As long as someone stands up and says they want to take responsibility for everyone, they will basically be met with a huge response. People in the post-apocalyptic world really need a leader to guide them.
...
Lu Yuan was playing cards with his family in the living room. It wasn't that they liked playing cards, but rather that they really had nothing else to do.
“One against three!” Lu Yuan gently tossed down two cards, glancing at Xiao Shan and his mother.
"don't want!"
"I can't afford it!"
Lu Yuan's eyes remained expressionless as he discarded the remaining cards.
Xiao Shan looked annoyed, then took a wad of cash from the table and threw it at Lu Yuan.
"This is so boring! I've been playing cards for half a month now! And this money isn't even real money, I'm not playing anymore!"
Lu's mother also looked like she had nothing to do.
"Alright, you guys have fun, I'll go make some food for everyone!"
Lu Yuan touched his belly.
"Mom, we just ate less than two hours ago! Are you going to cook again?"
Lu's mother looked up at the time and saw that the hour hand on the clock had just pointed to the three mark, less than three hours after they had eaten lunch.
"Ugh! Time is moving so slowly!"
Grandpa, who was sitting at another table, also put down his chess pieces.
"Yeah! They're all a bunch of terrible chess players, I'm not playing anymore! It's so boring! Xiao Yuan, do you have any opera programs on your computer that I haven't heard of?"
Lu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile: "Grandpa, there really isn't any more! I've listened to it dozens of times already. Why don't you try pop music?"
"Forget it, I want to live a few more years. Just hearing about that thing would make my old bones tremble!"
Grandma sat by the fire not far away, and stopped her needlework.
Hey! Does anyone need a sweater?
Everyone quickly shook their heads.
"Auntie, don't bother anymore. Everyone in our family has knitted more than a dozen sweaters already. You should just rest!" Xiaoshan's mother put down the condiments in her hand, looking somewhat helpless.
"Really? More than ten sets already? Could it be that my speed has improved again?"
Lu Yuan paused for a moment, then looked at the time on his phone. More than a month had passed since Huang Feng's last invasion, and everyone had stayed at home for that time.
Previously, in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking over, Lu Yuan had specially designed some traps, but these traps were completed half a month ago, so for the remaining half month, the family members basically spent their time playing cards.
Xiaoshan's dad tossed her a cigarette, his eyes half-closed, and said, "I've stockpiled dozens of kilograms of cigarettes, and I'm almost out of toilet paper! Hurry up and find something to do!"
Lu Yuan was helpless and had no choice. In this harsh winter, they couldn't go out, so they could only do what they could at home. If it were before the apocalypse, Lu Yuan could play on his computer for a month without leaving the house without any problem. But now the key issue was that there was no internet and electricity was extremely scarce, so his computer was basically never turned on except for designing some things.
The family sat in the room, staring at each other, with only the occasional crackling sound from the fire, and then nothing else.
Lu Yuan opened his mouth as if to say something, but then hesitated, unsure what to say. He was at a loss. Storing food? He had his dimensional space, so he wasn't lacking. In addition, the first basement floor of his house was planted with a large amount of vegetables and fruits, and the second basement floor was used to raise a large number of pigs, cattle, sheep, various poultry, livestock, and some small animals. He had no shortage of food or other necessities. After Lu Yuan implemented the barter system in the camp, they exchanged grain and meat for many daily necessities. Since there weren't many people in his family, they basically didn't lack anything.
